Chains

It’s such a big surprise when they all look to you
But they’re just saying things that you already knew
It’s not the kind of thing you want to wake up to
So you just shake your chains and say it’s all too soon
It’s waiting there for you
All that’s left is you
All that’s left is you
It’s time you asked yourself just what you want to do
You built this up now you just have to see it through
It’s waiting there for you
All that’s left is you
It’s waiting there for you
All that’s left is you
All that’s left is you

What You Hide
03:51

Love, you know you need it
Somehow, someway
But when you have it
Something always gets in the way
Gets in the way
Gets in the way
You can’t seem to find
What you have in mind
Everything you need
Lies within your reach
Love, you know you want it
Somehow, someday
You say you’ve known it
But when you had it, you walked away
It’s not how it seems
What you hide
You can let them see

Sink or swim is what they said
It’s like they know what’s in your head
It’s like they know what’s going on
It seems you’re not the only one
And now you’re hanging by a thread
Oh how we do like to pretend
That nothing’s leading us along
That nothing’s going wrong and
No one really wants to hear
That everything is different now
You think that it’s about to clear
And then you have to shut it down
So let’s just keep ourselves wrapped up
And hide out ‘till it’s over
Then we wouldn’t have to think about
All the things we’ll miss along the way
It’s all the rumors that we’re fed
Or maybe something else instead
It keeps on turning us around
‘Till we’re all tightly wound and
Everything inside of you
Just tells you to get out of this
But it’s not really up to you
And so you’ll have to take the risk
And do like all the others do
It just hurts for a minute
Now you know you’ll have to see it through
It’s for the best and then you’ll get to
See the things you missed along the way

See you standing tall and proud
You want to know
If this is everything you’ll get to have, to hold
Take my hand and come around
I know you need
It less and less but it’s the thing we have, we know
If we could keep it all for us
We know we would be happy there
But in the end it’s all the same
It’s all we’ve got, it’s everything
We took the tram across town
We didn’t know
What we were driving through, driving through
The ghosts they didn’t stick around
And all we saw
Was something new and old and in between, it’s everything
If we could keep it all for us
A little private universe
But in the end it’s all the same
It’s all we’ve got, it’s everything
It’s everything
It’s everything
It’s everything

Now Or Never
05:43

You’ve been fighting too hard
You’ve been on your guard
For a long time
You really start to believe it
It was all that you needed
For a long time
You know they think that you should stay
Remember all the lovely things you have
But maybe if you get away
The answer might fall right across your path
It’s everything that you’ve known
You’ve called it your home
For a long time
Is it enough just to leave it
Or will you repeat it
For a long time
You know there’s nothing left to say
But still you’ll sift through all of it again
‘Cause maybe when you looked away
The answer it fell right out of your hand
You know there’s nothing left to say
But still you’ll sift through all of it again
‘Cause maybe when you looked away
The answer it fell right out of your hand
All you said is just to think about it
All you need the rest can live without it
All that’s left is yours it’s now or never

All are waiting
Thin line holding
Us together
As we’re falling

All The Things You Know
04:30
|

I can’t find a way to rest
I won’t be well
Until this damn thing is over
Over
Can’t you see that this isn’t working
I gave you everything
Still you just keep asking for more
And darling can’t you see
What it really means
To go out on your own
To take just what you need
It’s all the things you know
It’s everything you’ve seen
So open up the door
And throw away the key

Salt
02:23
|

A drop of salt upon my cheek
I left it there until it was a part of me
I still can feel it when you’re gone
And so you’re with me as I fall asleep

The One Time
04:15
|
|||
It’s all been said it’s all been done
It’s not like you’re the only one
I don’t know why I left it out
You just can’t seem to change it now
If I was clear right from the start
The things you do to hide your heart
I should have known how much it takes
You try to bury your mistakes
And why I’m like this I don’t know
You’re at your best when you’re alone
Sometimes I wish it all would break
And you’d just run for running’s sake . . .
The one time it’s all aligned for you
All your lives and all your lovers
Turning up to blow your cover
If you say that you don’t want it
All your life you’re waiting for it

The Waves
02:46
|
|||
The waves they come and go
They’re pulling fast and low
I’ll let them carry me
Out into the sea
But it’s alright
It’s alright
You’ll see
‘Cause when they let me float
To places so remote
I get a chance to see
All the things I need
To be alright
Be alright
For you
For you
