Lyrics

HIDING HOME

[Verse 1] The curtains rise and who they were is gone They recite their lines and the pressure's on A joke on which her life and his now depend A story of love, a comedy of errors [Verse 2] The crowd is vicious and smells blood in the air They sense a weakness and they write to kill Too soon, far too soon, goes another crew Sick with the bends and they never had a flare [Chorus] Whatever he touched seemed to turn into dust Rain came down and turned metal into rust That's why he's hiding home, hiding home He's hiding home while the overture goes [Verse 3] A graveyard of ships, all with torn off masts They weren't the first and they won't be the last But for now, he's bailing out and buying a property In a city too far for them to notice or care for him [Chorus] Whatever he touched seemed to turn into dust Rain came down and turned metal into rust That's why he's hiding home, hiding home He's hiding home while the overture goes [Verse 4] And now he's here, right in front of you He's on a stage somewhere and you're on it too What will you say to him, as he boards your ship And the critics' pens, they come down on you

WADING

[Verse 1] Dipped my toe in, got a mouthful Found escape through means unlawful A flame for night But one for morning wastes air while slowly dying [Verse 2] Since the march a masquerade Kept the mask to hide my face Maybe it was two before then I realized what I'd gotten in [Chorus] Wading in water while my head's on fire Trying to sleep but I'm not even tired Wading in water while my head's on fire Trying to sleep but I'm not even tired [Verse 4] How much longer, days go by Restless where's my lullaby Up till dawn in some far place Caught up in my one-man race [Chorus] Wading in water while my head's on fire Trying to sleep but I'm not even tired Wading in water while my head's on fire Trying to sleep but I'm not even tired

THE SONG THAT I CAN'T REWRITE

[Verse] When we went out in the snow It seemed just like a movie scene Hadn't felt that way before Frozen, we were a sight to be seen But from then on it was rough So unstable, yet unreal Oh we were so on and off It should've just been snuffed [Pre-Chorus] Just thinking about how you feel Elicits emotions I can't deal But I wanna keep this real [Chorus] Sorry for all the hurt I put you through It's what I never meant to do There's a feeling of guilt that haunts me It won't leave me be [Chorus] Sorry for all the hurt I put you through It's what I never meant to do There's a feeling of guilt that haunts me It won't leave me be [Bridge] You're the song in my head that I can't rewrite It keeps me up all through the night The song that I can't rewrite You're the song in my head that I can't rewrite It keeps me up all through the night The song that I can't rewrite [Pre-Chorus] Just thinking about how you feel Elicits emotions I just can't deal But I wanna keep this real [Chorus] Sorry for all the hurt I put you through It's what I never meant to do There's a feeling of guilt that haunts me It won't leave me be

NUMBER 4

[Verse 1] Spanish coast to city bay With water cool to touch Looking away from all the lights The tide hits you in a rush [Verse 2] Friendly faces in the view Silhouettes of ships behind Pincher crabs that seem so new A peace that's so divine [Chorus 1] On the coast, an elephant watches over you In the streets, a mix of people dressed in shades of blue [Verse 3] Open air two floors up Even in December too Sit up top, fill up your cup Look down at the world you knew [Chorus 1] On the coast, an elephant watches over you In the streets, a mix of people dressed in shades of blue [Chorus 2] Walk up to that number four And wait right at the door Who lives there now, you wonder You can't know for sure [Verse 4] Feel the beating of the heat Look into the past above From behind the tin and wood If you'll see it's eight before [Chorus 2] Walk up to that number four And wait right at the door Who lives there now, you wonder You can't know for sure

PASARGAD

[Bridge?] Pasargad Pasargad [Pre-Chorus?] Pasargad [Chorus?] Pasargad [Breakdown?] Pasargad Pasargad Pasargad Pasargad [Verse?] Pasargad (And that's the whole song. Yes, really.)

AND LOVE IS

[Verse 1] She was the toy that people always fought over Scratched and torn from those who put her back on the shelf High above me, I wanted just to touch Then she reached out and gave me so much [Verse 2] She was the one who set me out in a new light With her heart so kind and perfectly patient She would hold me while the sun did rise And then in unison, we both shared sighs [Chorus] And love is her Healing me with her hands, holding mine And love is us Laying here in our own sense of time And love is her Loving me in spite of what's been stuck in time I can't help but to hold your face and ask you to be mine [Chorus] And love is her Healing me with her hands, holding mine And love is us Laying here in our own sense of time And love is her Loving me in spite of what's been stuck in time I can't help but to hold your face and ask you to be mine

NOT QUITE SURE

[Verse 1] The sun is out and the streets are warm The ice, it melts away I go into the corner store And try to find a silver plate The window's up and the sheets are made I wonder whose house I'm in Where there was a door there's suddenly a valley And I guess I'll go and venture in [Chorus] I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be At least we get to see it for free [Verse 2] I'm coming out the door that I couldn't find I never saw that pretty plate I go around the block maybe once or twice And wow, the neighborhood has changed [Chorus] I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be But hey, we get to see it for free [Bridge] Nobody can taste their memories But they treat me like I knew it before In every situation, just like a new nation I'm really just not quite sure [Chorus] I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be At least we get to see it for free [Chorus] I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure where I'm gonna be But hey, we get to see it for free

OHIO

[Verse 1] Fast as the East River flows Bright light shards from all the condos Taillights streak red and they make your face glow It's getting late but I don't want to leave you [Verse 2] Hold it for my sake and yours Like the promise you made in Ohio Down in the fog by the lake we spoke You showed each word and it made me at home [Verse 3] Time will set you free As it slowly resigns from its burden

HAIL

[Verse 1] I used to always know the right words to say I could charm any heart Until one day, my tongue ran away With your sneaking around all that I held dear You came a little too near [Chorus] I saw a thief take my poetry Took the book that my dad used to read I looked out the window to try to see you But all there was, was hail in June [Verse 2] Tracing every letter I can recall Before the words are gone from my mind I knew every phrase but now they hide No, I don't wanna lose those precious lines Where else did you lie? [Verse 3] Now I'm searching every bookshelf there is To find where my childhood died Dreaming with Dawn's left hand in the sky In the bar, another voice cried [Chorus] I saw a thief take my poetry Took the book that my dad used to read I looked out the window to try to see you But all there was, was hail in June

PAPER

[Verse 1] A subtle tear slips away He stares at paper anyway Down the street, the power's out How can he find his way Another minute, another day A school of fish on the way Staring at his neighbor's lawn The paper hasn't changed [Chorus] Oh, do you know where they go? Oh, they have nothing to show? Oh, will you tell it so? 'Cause the paper needs to go [Verse 2] The paper sits on his desk Coffee stains me, such a mess I've gone too far, he's in distress Watch him turn to rest The seconds pass, by the way His fingers hurt, but anyway I sit and stare at his face The question's in his head [Chorus] Oh, do you know where they go? Oh, they have nothing to show? Oh, will you tell it so? 'Cause the paper needs to go [Outro] Where does it go? Where does it go? Where does it go?

TAKE IT BACK

[Verse 1] Four days with four days without It always ends just as it comes to be The world is spinning just to play with me Fill my glass with empathy, as I try to find myself Through the eyes of someone I cannot see [Chorus] My independent identity Keeps spilling into everybody else These melancholy memories They take my youth and taint my innocence [Refrain 1] If time could go in reverse Would I even take it back [Verse 2] Question me for who I am Force my hand and break the dam In my mind, you'll fade unless you choose to stay This bed I can't sleep in It's just like the one at home But you don't look at me no more Am I a ghost? [Chorus] My independent identity Keeps spilling into everybody else These melancholy memories They take my youth and taint my innocence [Refrain 2] If time could go in reverse I wouldn't take it back

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU

[Verse 1] On a windy, dark, and rainy night I met my friend outside my front door We kicked it into gear; we were dressed to the nines So, I poured down a bottle of whiskey and wine [Verse 2] Well, we walked a single block, didn't need a ride I dragged my friend from the Upper East Side All of a sudden, he felt like a star He was singing these words as we entered the bar: [Chorus] "I don't even know you But I wanna hold you I don't even know you But I wanna, I wanna hold you!" [Verse 3] Well, we walked a second block, didn't need a ride I dragged my friend to the Upper West Side All of a sudden, she felt like a star She was singing these words as we entered the bar: [Chorus] "I don't even know you But I wanna hold you I don't even know you But I wanna, I wanna hold you!" [Bridge] "I don't wanna let you go I don't wanna let you go I don't wanna let you go No, I don't wanna let you go No, I don't wanna let you go No, I don't wanna let you go!" [Chorus] "I don't even know you But I wanna hold you I don't even know you But I wanna, I wanna hold you!" [Chorus] "I don't even know you But I wanna hold you I don't even know you But I wanna, I wanna hold you!"

COME DANCE WITH ME!

[Verse 1] I saw you one night, at a table for two Right in the middle, as I looked for a clue The music was loud, what else could I do? So I just had to try to dance with you [Verse 2] The groove was in three, or maybe in two It was so hard to tell when I was with you But you kissed my lips, in an instant I knew That you would become my favorite groove [Chorus] Oh! Come dance with me! Oh, please, do set me free Don't you know? You hold the key to my heart When you get up and dance with me! [Verse 3] Now the groove is in two, or maybe in three I can't even tell, if you're speaking with me Hooked to your heel, I don't wanna leave Get back on the floor and come dance with me! [Bridge] Biyā biyā bā man beraqs, oh Man delam to rā mixād, oh Āx moškat man-o mast kard Āx pā šo bot-e ešqam Āx biyā bā man beraqs [Chorus] Oh! Come dance with me! Oh, please, do set me free Don't you know? You hold the key to my heart When you get up and dance with me! [Chorus] Oh! Come dance with me! Oh, please, do set me free Don't you know? You hold the key to my heart When you get up and dance with me!

BLUE EYES

[Verse 1] Hey, blue eyes, whatcha looking at? Did I tell you I like your hat? Look up to the sky and see how it lets your hair out [Verse 2] Hey, blue eyes, what'd they say to you? Did you tell them all you wanna do? The way that they see, and they hear, and they feel you Shows how you glow And I smile [Chorus] I smile, to see you next to me I smile, yes, I smile To see you facing me [Verse 3] Hey, blue eyes, do you feel the same? My years are gone, they wouldn't stay But we can look back, happily And the memories you made with me Make me smile [Chorus] I smile, to see you next to me I smile, yes, I smile To see you facing me

SAINT MONIQUE

[Verse 1] I saw the night, sinking, was it true? We saw the sky, it was bleeding over you And all the stars came crashing into shore As if to show us that there could be no more [Chorus 1] So, take my hand, show me everything we had And drown my tears beneath the river of our fears [Verse 2] I blew a kiss to everything we'd miss And for a breath there was almost nothing left There they go, the moments we held dear Now I'll ask, could you please come near? [Chorus 2] Oh, Saint Monique, do you listen for the breeze? Oh, you thief, you slaver of the seas [Chorus 2] Oh, Saint Monique, do you listen for the breeze? Oh, you thief, you slaver of the seas [Chorus 1] Now, take my hand, show me everything we had And drown my tears beneath the river of our fears

VEM CÁ!

[Verse 1] Eu tava na noite e ela chegou No camarote pra começar o show Rebolou na pista o bar esquentou Traz uma cerveja que eu vou dançar Toda madrugada até o sol raiar Com essa menina vou me casar [Chorus] Vem cá loirinha, vem cá meu amor E toda a noite dançamos, vem cá! Minha loirinha, vem cá meu amor E toda a noite cantamos: [Refrain] "Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê-dê-dê Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-dê-dê Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê-dê-dê Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-dê-dê" [Verse 2] Balada não pára e ela quer mais Chamou as amigas, ela ta demais Eu tô na dela, ela na minha Cola no grave, mexe a cintura Toda safada, não me tortura Rebola baixinho, sobe sem pressa [Chorus] Vem cá loirinha, vem cá meu amor E toda a noite dançamos, vem cá! Minha loirinha, vem cá meu amor E toda a noite cantamos: [Refrain] "Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê-dê-dê Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-dê-dê Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê-dê-dê Lê-rê-dê, lê-rê-dê, lê-dê-dê"

TOWED AWAY

[Verse 1] Look at me Show me all the places I should go Before I'm towed into the setting sun Talk to me, my darling Take my hand and turn These stranger streets into our home Stare and see How all the world changes shape Before our eyes can even comprehend In the end We can only smile As we try to do more than just roam [Verse 2] Look at you Show me how I sailed the years And if you'd even shed a single tear What'd you do? My dear, I hear the whispers Where you never spoke any pain Stare and see How all the world changes shape Before your eyes can even comprehend In the end You'll only smile As you try to do more than just roam [Chorus 1] And now I'm being towed away Gotta find a way so I can stay Can somebody throw me a little line? I don't like this feeling towed away Dying for a place where I can stay I just wanna make the most of my time [Verse 3] Look at us Where did all the time run off to? When did we age all so suddenly? Listen now, my darling To all of the voices from our past As they say: "Stare and see How all the years change our lives Before our minds can even comprehend" In the end We'll only smile As we try to do more than just roam [Chorus 2] So now we're being towed away Gotta find a way so we can stay Can somebody throw us a little line? I don't like this feeling towed away Dying for a place where we can stay I just wanna make the most of our time And now I'm being towed away Gotta find a way so I can stay Can somebody throw me a little time?

THREE YEARS IN

[Verse 1] Long way to go, close enough to see We're pushing rocks uphill in New York City Those harder days with empty lights Another train delay, another sleepless night Three years in, how does it feel? [Verse 2] The morning shies underneath the sky We're left waiting for her to show us why And so it goes, so it goes Three years in, how does it feel? [Chorus 1] Do you still wake up believing you can win? Still feel that fire under your skin? Are you holding on through thick and thin? [Bridge] Caffeine, cigarettes, kicking it at 9am Tripping on your toes just to feel alive again Go out in the snow, letting all the quiet in Looking for a feeling you can hold [Chorus 1] Do you still wake up believing you can win? Still feel that fire under your skin? Are you holding on? Are you wearing thin? [Chorus 2] Do you still find sleep and dream of what's ahead? Still hear the sounds of all that's left? Are you standing tall? Are you breaking in? Three years in

SUFFERING FROM SUCCESS

[Verse 1] I wake up with a name I barely even know Wakes me up saying "please don't go" No space to think, no time to rest Running on fumes I'm barely even dressed [Verse 2] I hold people over 'til Mister Right Book gigs I don't audition for, guess that's alright Do I want something real or will I just pass through I never lie, no, I just can't choose [Pre-Chorus 1] Can't find time for myself, How can I make time for someone else [Chorus] Suffering from success, yeah it's all such a mess Luck with all the ladies but the one I want best Everything works but it don't feel right I'm wide awake in the middle of the night [Verse 3] I spent my whole damn youth to get where I am now Got a lifetime to go before I even make it out They say I'm lucky, say I'm blessed I say I'm tired, say it's stress 'Cause I'm always sitting pretty at second best [Pre-Chorus 2] I burn too fast and too bright But maybe for someone that'll be alright [Chorus] Suffering from success, yeah it's all such a mess Luck with all the ladies but the one I want best Everything works but it don't feel right I'm wide awake in the middle of the night [Bridge] If I slow down do I disappear? If I choose love do I lose the year? I've built a life that won't let go Now I don't know how to say no I can't say no can I stay though? I can't stay, no, can I say no? Can I? [Chorus] Suffering from success, yeah it's all such a mess Luck with all the ladies but the one I want best Everything works but it don't feel right I'm wide awake in the middle of the night [Chorus] Suffering from success, yeah it's all such a mess Luck with all the ladies but the one I want best Everything works but it don't feel right I'm wide awake in the middle of the night

OLVÍDAME

[Verse 1] Yo te vi de lejos y seguí tu juego Debería saber mejor Te abrí las puertas de mi vida Entraste y arruinaste todo ¿Por qué? [Pre-Chorus] Que te vaya bien Ya no hay nada que me pueda detener Aunque me insistas olvídame [Chorus] Olvídame, que ya no hay nada que hablar Lo que un día fue otra vez nunca será Olvídame Hoy no queda nada que salvar Déjame en paz que no te quiero pensar Olvídame [Verse 2] Ya no soy ese que conociste ayer Me enseñaste que te tenía que perder Con tus besos, todo que tú me mostraste lo olvidé Y tus caricias, me olvidé [Pre-Chorus] Que te vaya bien Ya no hay nada que me pueda detener Aunque me insistas olvídame [Chorus] Olvídame, que ya no hay nada que hablar Lo que un día fue otra vez nunca será Olvídame Hoy no queda nada que salvar Déjame en paz que no te quiero pensar Olvídame [Bridge] Te abrí las puertas de mi vida Entraste y arruinaste todo Que te vaya bien [Chorus] Olvídame, que ya no hay nada que hablar Lo que un día fue otra vez nunca será Olvídame Hoy no queda nada que salvar Déjame en paz que no te quiero pensar Olvídame

MOMMY MADISYN

[Verse 1] All the boys like a drink from Madisyn Saying "mommy" when she pours their medicine She puts on a show, I howl like a wolf Yeah, her looking and her drinks got me feeling good It makes me wanna say: [Chorus] "Mommy Madisyn" "Mommy Madisyn" [Verse 2] All the girls want to drink with Madisyn How she works that bottle makes them want an in They say "just one more," she fills up their glass Yeah, her smile and her laughs make them come right back It makes them wanna say: [Chorus] "Mommy Madisyn" Each look at her makes me think of sin "Mommy Madisyn" Right on the edge before I even think of What I'm saying [Bridge] She smiles, I see Too much for me Every little look pulls me in and then She laughs, I go Too fast, too close Every little move pulls me in again "Mommy Madisyn" "Mommy Madisyn" [Chorus] "Mommy Madisyn" Each look at her makes me think of sin "Mommy Madisyn" Right on the edge before I even think of [Chorus] "Mommy Madisyn" Each look at her makes me think of sin "Mommy Madisyn" Right on the edge before I even think of What I'm saying

NOT OVER YET

[Verse 1] She's in the middle of a comeback He's stuck going nowhere She's lighting up every room she steps into And keeps them all on their toes She does it just for fun Well they were all oh, so sweet like summer's sun [Pre-Chorus] I seldom see you crack a smile But when you do it's all worthwhile [Chorus] Summer's not over yet No, it's not over yet There's still a little light ahead Summer's not over yet [Verse 2] We're breathing second-hand air From a life that was never ours She's got the sand in her hair, running off to Mars She tells me she goes He tells me he knows I tell them "it's okay to take it slow" [Pre-Chorus] I watch the shoreline for a while When you appear I always smile [Chorus] Summer's not over yet No, it's not over yet There's still a little light ahead Summer's not over yet [Chorus] Summer's not over yet No, it's not over yet There's still a little light ahead Summer's not over yet [Outro] She's in the middle of a comeback It's all in good fun She's lighting up every room just like the sun
