[Verse 1]
There's a white flag in my eye
It's the wrong place, the right time
My broken wings have learned to fly
What if we leave this behind?
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Verse 2]
Within a flash, we've arrived
Here's to the rest of our lives
We're a boomerang in a hurricane
Because of love, we're survived
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Bridge}
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....

Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean

[Verse 1]
A one-way trip down a barrel of denial
The prettiest persuasion
The ugliest of fights
A one-way trip down a barrel of denial
We stumble, fall, and try to get it right
Oh...
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Verse 2]
Palindromes and rollercoaster rides
Breaking news of broken alibis
Palindromes and rollercoaster rides
A senseless search for something, anything
Everything I'll nevеr find
Oh
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me latеly?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Bridge]
There's gotta be something else
There's gotta be someone else
There's gotta be something else
There's gotta be something more than this
More than this
Oh!
[Breakdown]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately
Done for me lately
Done for me lately
Done for me lately?
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control

Out of your control
Out of your control

[Verse 1]
All the world's shoes are so hard to fill
Anything was possible when everything changed
Hard to know exactly who's responsible
A skinny man from Estevan humbly used to say that
[Pre-Chorus]
"Your life's a debt that you can't repay
And when you reach the end of the reel...
[Chorus]
Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain."
[Verse 2]
When the moon is just another streetlight
Broken hearts are mendable
Wounded knees will hеal
The only thing we have to losе is our lives
Everything is visible, you think you can conceal, 'cos
[Pre-Chorus]
"Your life's a debt that you can't repay
And when you reach the end of the reel...
[Chorus]
Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain."

She Leaves
03:51
|
|

[Verse 1]
She leaves
As loudly as she arrived
As loudly as she cries
Beautiful people, no more beautiful life
She fields
The questions on her mind
The answer every time:
"If you believe it, then it isn't a lie."
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She take sup space 'cos she's around
She makes you swim to watch you drown
Her lips are still but speak so loud
She wears your anger like a crown
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I sleep so deeply, I'm awake
I'm dry from all this rain
Die if I stay alive
I left to arrive
We float
Like floats in a parade;
A rumbling motorocade
We are so glad we stayed
To see the mess we made
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Close the chapter, flip the page
Move onto the present stage
So content, too dependent
But a restless heart cannot be tamed
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright!
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A conscious choice, a statement made
But snap decisions play/replay
Lack of insight, lack of foresight
Lack of hindsight -- I don't care!
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]

[Verse 1]
Sunrise, see the clock, waitin' for the train to start
Sunrise, see the clock, waitin' for the train to start
One night's all I got -- tell this fuckin' train to start
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Time waits for no one at all
[Chorus]
Breathe deep, breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep this closed
I'll find my way back home
[Post-Chorus]
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
[Verse 2]
Perfect horizon line, she is layin' on her side
Sun sets over hips, risin' through her waking eyes
Perfect horizon line, she is layin' on her side
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Time stops when you're on my mind
[Chorus]
Breathe deep, breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep this closed
I'll find my way back home
[Post-Chorus]
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
[Bridge]
What do we need but the air that we breathe?
A memory is hardly a dream
[Post-Chorus / Breakdown]
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
[Chorus]
Breathe deep, breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep this closed
I'll find my way back home
[Outro]
Breath deep
Breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep
This closed
I'll find my way back home
I'll find my way back home

[Verse 1]
Hangin' in a frame
A girl without a name
The face she can't protect
The you that I reflect
The me that I project;
A sketch of what I can't accept
Uh-huh
{Pre-Chorus 1]
I won't accept this now
I won't accept this now
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
[Verse 2]
"It's not a code red
But a caution sign," she said
"Something needs to be released."
Your beauty killed the beast
That lived inside of me
I oncе was blind but now I see you
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your еyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
{Pre-Chorus 2]
I won't accept this now
I won't accept this now
And I've waited patiently for you to conquer me
I've waited patiently for you to conquer me
[Chorus / Breakdown]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all

Oh! You can have it all

If The Walls Could Talk
03:45
|
|
||
[Verse 1]
Scandals and love affairs
The Gospel According to Error
Police with trigger fingers
As the camera's heads roll dead
The asshole no one sees
Casanova begging, "please,"
The bath than drowned the singer
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how the story goes
Can't see or hear or know
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
[Verse 2]
Did Courtney kill Cobain?
What became of Richey James?
"Happy birthday, Mr. President
Happy birthday to you!"
"A gentlе overdose,"
Superman in comatosе
Lee family's "accidents,"
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how the story goes
Can't see or hear or know
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?

[Verse 1]
Am I crazy, or are you not me?
Have I wasted all your time?
Just one moment, not the end
And please, never say, "It's all been said."
[Chorus 1]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "I am fine."
[Verse 2]
Another fable of death and resurrection
A dozen faces I must hide
"I'm afraid of change," he said
"And you couldn't save me even if you tried."
[Chorus 2]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "Fuck off, I'm fine."
[Chorus 3]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "I am fine, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Oh!
When my pride
Is worth more than your life
The moment may subside
This time

Ooooohhh... oooooohhhhh!
Ooooohhh... oooooohhhhh!

[Verse 1]
Everyone locked themselves away
For a storm, and it never came
I wonder what you and I would say
If we were to meet again
Tell your stories, I'll tell you mine
Don’t be sorry for the lost time
I'm here before you, it's now tonight
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 1]
Can you sit with me in Alaska’s current
Leave your surface behind?
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Verse 2]
Take my hand now, we'll walk away
Find ourselves in a better place
Which may just be where we are today
I wonder what we would say...
[Chorus 2]
If you sat with me in Alaska's current
Left your service behind
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 3]
You said once, to "Remember
Every stranger is somebody's child,"
It's nice to meet you, it's been a while
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 4]
Can you sit with me in Alaska's current
Leave your surface behind?
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Outro]
No one gets left behind
Into your heart, out of mind

Roads we overtake

Winding longer
Lest we entertain

Listless vampires
Just another day

Bricks and mortar
Just can't get away
(from all, of us)
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place
[Verse 1]
Circle or a wave
(revolve)
Or go further
Open arms await
(clean hearts, always)
Hey
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place

Hey, hey, don't be afraid

[Verse 1]
Two men with Down Syndrome
They sit down on the bus
I'd just gotten blissfully stoned, I'm thinking
"Does everybody look like this?"
One gets in the other's face
He says, "Leave my friends alone!"
And the other says he didn't do anything
"Buddy, you're my best pal, you know!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me in your tiring arms, tell me
"There's no one above you know."
There's somethin' aggravating about you
That I'll always love, somehow
Take the good, the bad, and the ugly when
[Chorus 1]
It's taken the best of you to call me
It's taken the rest of you to break me down and scare me
Must I take all of you with me?
Our darkest moments make us who we are
[Verse 2]
"Don't worry, little man," I said
"I'll be back in the turn of a season."
You cried into my neck
I guess you're never too young to know someone's leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold you in my tiring arms, tell you
"There's no one above you know."
There's somethin' so amazing about you
That I'll always love, no doubt
I'll take the good, the bad, and the ugly when
[Chorus 1]
It's taken the best of you to call me
It's taken the rest of you to break me down and tear me
I guess I'll take all of you with me
Our darkest moments make us who we are
[Bridge]
I made you so damn proud
I climbed up nine clouds, came crashing down
You said, "Come on, stay."
I jumped on a southbound train
Like a skeleton in chains
If you want me to stay in your life
[Outro]
If you'll have me, I'll stay in your life
If you'll take me, I'll stay in your life
If you'll have me, I'll stay in your life
If you want me, I'll stay in your life

[Verse 1]
All the world's shoes are so hard to fill
Anything was possible when everything changed
Hard to know exactly who's responsible
A skinny man from Estevan humbly used to say that
[Pre-Chorus]
"Your life's a debt that you can't repay
And when you reach the end of the reel...
[Chorus]
Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain."
[Verse 2]
When the moon is just another streetlight
Broken hearts are mendable
Wounded knees will hеal
The only thing we have to losе is our lives
Everything is visible, you think you can conceal, 'cos
[Pre-Chorus]
"Your life's a debt that you can't repay
And when you reach the end of the reel...
[Chorus]
Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain."
[Chorus / Outro]
"Everything you said and made

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on cement on Carroll Street
Is Maurice
Three papers heroin and speed
Waitin' for daddy
Jail was always more forgiving
Every sunrise makes it worth living
From the ground he looks up to heaven but
Highrises gleam
[Pre-Chorus 1]
"Here I am in my disparity
You can have my life if you can make it
Spare a little bit of your charity?"
[Verse 2]
Jenny, in a condo, waterfront
Lounging on snakeskin
Martini, T3, Tramacet
Daddy's gone again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
"Look at me in my prosperity
You can have my life if you can fake it
I don't waste my time on charity
You can have my life if you can break it
[Chorus 1]
If you can make it
If you can take it
If you can fake it
Come on and take a hit!"
[Verse 3]
Jеnny crosses town on the rarest day
Runs into Mauricе
"Lady, could you spare some charity
Before you call the police?"
They carry on, neither turns around
Hope to never see the other again
Twenty steps away, they say
"You may be just like me."
[Pre-Chorus 3]
"Here I am in my disparity
You can have my life if you can make it
Spare a little bit of your charity?
You can have my life if you can take it."
"Look at me in my prosperity
You can have my life if you can fake it
I don't waste my time on charity
You can have my life if you can break it
[Chorus 2]
If you can make it
If you can take it
If you can fake it

You wanna take a hit?
You wanna take a hit?"

[Verse 1]
Scandals and love affairs
The Gospel According to Error
Police with trigger fingers
As the camera's heads roll dead
The asshole no one sees
Casanova begging, "please,"
The bath than drowned the singer
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how the story goes
Can't see or hear or know
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
[Verse 2]
Did Courtney kill Cobain?
What became of Richey James?
"Happy birthday, Mr. President
Happy birthday to you!"
"A gentlе overdose,"
Superman in comatosе
Lee family's "accidents,"
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how the story goes
Can't see or hear or know

A one-way trip down a barrel of denial
The prettiest persuasion
The ugliest of fights
A one-way trip down a barrel of denial
We stumble, fall, and try to get it right
Oh...
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Verse 2]
Palindromes and rollercoaster rides
Breaking news of broken alibis
Palindromes and rollercoaster rides
A senseless search for something, anything
Everything I'll nevеr find
Oh
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me latеly?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Bridge]
There's gotta be something else
There's gotta be someone else
There's gotta be something else
There's gotta be something more than this
More than this
Oh!

Winding longer
Lest we entertain

Listless vampires
Just another day

Bricks and mortar
Just can't get away
(from all, of us)
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place
[Verse 1]
Circle or a wave
(revolve)
Or go further
Open arms await
(clean hearts, always)
Hey

Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain

[Verse 1]
Am I crazy, or are you not me?
Have I wasted all your time?
Just one moment, not the end
And please, never say, "It's all been said."
[Chorus 1]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "I am fine."
[Verse 2]
Another fable of death and resurrection
A dozen faces I must hide
"I'm afraid of change," he said
"And you couldn't save me even if you tried."
[Chorus 2]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "Fuck off, I'm fine."
[Chorus 3]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "I am fine, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Oh!
When my pride
Is worth more than your life
The moment may subside
This time

Ooooohhh... oooooohhhhh!

We have our scars, we wear them well
We have our scars, we wear them well
We have no time to heal ourselves
We have no time to heal ourselves
[Verse 1]
You say you don't give your name out to strangers
You feel that it's safer that way
I say, "I'll just call you 'Lois' and hope that we meet again
Someday
When the pain has gone away."
[Chorus 2]
We have our scars, we wear them well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
Wе have our scars, we wear thеm well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
And take some time to heal ourselves
(Why don't we throw them away?)
And take some time to heal ourselves
[Verse 2]
Love is sad
She said the ink I'd collected were signs I'd accepted the pain
She's had
It went over my head in the moment
But I knew I'd understand someday
[Bridge]
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
Oooo, ooo ooo, ooooooo
[Verse 3]
I lay next to a beautiful stranger
Ignoring the danger I'm bound to face
If I could just let go, release my will, accept my fate
The pain would go away
[Chorus 3]
We have our scars, we wear them well
(Why don't we throw them away?)
We have our scars, we wear them well

And take some time to heal ourselves

[Verse 1]
When you are in need of someone
That you can stand beside
I will reserve my judgment;
I won't be of two minds
[Chorus]
Hey my lady
Why believe in heaven?
'Cos you and me
Can believe in what we see -- it's all we need
[Verse 2]
Don't let my darkest moments
Define everything I've done
Only the worst you've noticed;
It isn't what I've become
[Bridge]
The pain I have given can't be forgiven
You have to live in hurt
Let's not repeat this
Let's end before these bridges have all been burnt

Hey my lady
Why believe in heaven?
'Cos you and me
Can believe in what we see -- it's all we need

[Verse 1]
Everyone locked themselves away
For a storm, and it never came
I wonder what you and I would say
If we were to meet again
Tell your stories, I'll tell you mine
Don’t be sorry for the lost time
I'm here before you, it's now tonight
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 1]
Can you sit with me in Alaska’s current
Leave your surface behind?
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Verse 2]
Take my hand now, we'll walk away
Find ourselves in a better place
Which may just be where we are today
I wonder what we would say...
[Chorus 2]
If you sat with me in Alaska's current
Left your service behind
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 3]
You said once, to "Remember
Every stranger is somebody's child,"
It's nice to meet you, it's been a while
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 4]
Can you sit with me in Alaska's current
Leave your surface behind?
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind

No one gets left behind
Into your heart, out of mind

Who are we? A gentle art
Feathering a deck of cards
Who are you without me?
And who am I supposed to be?
Who are we but what we are?
Flickering like burning stars
Who are you without me
And who am I supposed to be
Whenever we're apart?
[Verse 2]
Here we stand, where we stay
In an unfamiliar place
Here with all that I never sought
Here are all the things I've...
[Chorus 1]
Lost
Such a gentle art
[Verse 3]
Who are you now that I am gone?
Have you learned to be someone
Never weak, seldom strong
Tell me that you'll carry...
[Chorus 2]
On
Such a gentle art
[Post-Chorus]
A gentle art
A gentle art
[Bridge]
Everything has fallen apart
Should have known it right from the start
Only had one hand on your heart
Everything you do it my...

Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
[Verse3]
We are always fighting for something
That is ours -- pacing cages, pacing
[Chorus]
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hey, don't!
Don't blow me away, hеy, hey, don't
Don't blow me away, hey, hеy, don't!

She leaves
As loudly as she arrived
As loudly as she cries
Beautiful people, no more beautiful life
She fields
The questions on her mind
The answer every time:
"If you believe it, then it isn't a lie."
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She take sup space 'cos she's around
She makes you swim to watch you drown
Her lips are still but speak so loud
She wears your anger like a crown
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I sleep so deeply, I'm awake
I'm dry from all this rain
Die if I stay alive
I left to arrive
We float
Like floats in a parade;
A rumbling motorocade
We are so glad we stayed
To see the mess we made
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Close the chapter, flip the page
Move onto the present stage
So content, too dependent
But a restless heart cannot be tamed
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright!
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A conscious choice, a statement made
But snap decisions play/replay
Lack of insight, lack of foresight
Lack of hindsight -- I don't care!

She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end

Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)

Who has shed the blood

Right between the eyes

Take my life, take your hand
Bury anger in the sand
You and I've got a story that
A passerby won't comprehend
Take a moment, lend an ear
We will not appear on late night TV, or AM radio;
We are not what they are wanting to hear
[Verse 2]
Hello, my dear friend
By you I will stand
Spill another tear
Is it our last chance
To exchange amends
To erase the fear?
[Chorus]
Take my life, take your hand
Bury anger in the sand
You and I've got a story that
A passerby won't comprehend

Your beauty killed the beast
That lived inside of me
I oncе was blind but now I see you
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your еyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
{Pre-Chorus 2]
I won't accept this now
I won't accept this now
And I've waited patiently for you to conquer me
I've waited patiently for you to conquer me
[Chorus / Breakdown]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
