Don't Run To Me
03:31
|
|||
I don't want you to come too close
I don’t need you to break the rules
Don't try to play my game
It’s not what you should do
I don’t think we can be friends
I don’t think we should try again
We’ve gone down that road before
And we both know the score
Don’t run to me, just keep your distance
You won't find a way back to my heart, I know it's hard to see
Don’t run to me, just keep your distance
You’re better off without me
I’m past the point where I can change
I’ve made it clear, I'm staying the same
If you try to get too close
You’ll just end up hurting us both
I don’t want to be the bad guy
And I know you wanna try
But I don’t wanna make you cry
One more time
Don’t run to me, just keep your distance
You won't find a way back to my heart, I know it's hard to see
Don’t run to me, just keep your distance
You’re better off without me
I'm warning you, don't try to come near me
I’m begging you, please don’t waste your time
Just hold on to the memory
Hold on to the memory
Hold on to the memory of when you were mine
Don’t run to me, just keep your distance
You won't find a way back to my heart, I know it's hard to see
Don’t run to me, just keep your distance
You’re better off without me

Wilsun
04:02
|
|||
I’m standing here in Wilsun
A small town in the north
The streets are empty
But the memories linger on
I’m thinking of the past and the love we shared
But now it’s just a ghost town and I’m left feeling scared
'Cause this is Wilsun
A place we used to call home
But now it’s just a memory
Of a time that’s gone
Cause this is Wilsun
A place we used to call home
Hold on to my memories
And think of you
I’m walking through the streets where we used to walk
I’m passing by the places where we used to talk
I’m hearing echoes of the laughter
Echoes of the tears
But now there’s only silence
And it’s ringing in my ears
'Cause this is Wilsun
A place we used to call home
But now it’s just a memory
Of a time that’s gone
Cause this is Wilsun
A place we used to call home
Hold on to my memories
And think of you
I’m leaving Wilsun
With a heavy heart
But I’ll always remember
What we tried to start
I’ll try to hold the memories that we used to share
And remember the good times when we were there
'Cause this is Wilsun
A place we used to call home
But now it’s just a memory
Of a time that’s gone
Cause this is Wilsun
A place we used to call home
Hold on to my memories
And think of you

Yearning
05:12
|
|||
I can see you in my mind
Like a dream I can’t forget
I’m reaching out to touch you
But you’re not here yet
I’m so full of longing,
It’s like an aching in my soul.
A sense of belonging,
A search for something I can’t hold.
I’m reaching out,
My heart is calling,
Yearning for something that I can’t find.
I’m reaching out,
My heart is calling,
Yearning for something that’s out of my mind.
I hear your voice in my head
Like a melody I can’t ignore
I’m holding on to every word
That you said before
I’m so full of sadness,
It’s like a storm in my heart.
I’m so full of sorrow,
Searching for a brand new start.
I’m reaching out,
My heart is calling,
Yearning for something that I can’t find.
I’m reaching out,
My heart is calling,
Yearning for something that’s out of my mind.
I’m searching for something that I can’t touch,
I’m searching for something that I can’t feel.
I’m searching for something that I can’t find,
I’m searching for something real.
I’m reaching out,
My heart is calling,
Yearning for something that I can’t find.
I’m reaching out,
My heart is calling,
Yearning for something that’s out of my mind.
I’ll be here, yearning for you
Till the end of time
I’ll keep holding on
To the hope that you’ll be mine
Yearning for your touch
Yearning for your kiss
Yearning for the day
We’ll be together like this

Spies In The Sky
03:35
|
|||
A view from above, floating so high
Watching as the world goes by
Silent and sleek, full of mystique
High altitude game of hide and seek
Flying high, floating in the air
You think you see them but they’re not there
In the blink of an eye they disappear
See what you don’t see and hear what you don’t hear
From the desert to the sea
They are the eyes of mystery
Holding secrets, on the fly
Watching over us from way up high
Flying high, floating in the air
You think you see them but they’re not there
In the blink of an eye they disappear
See what you don’t see and hear what you don’t hear
They’re spies in the sky
Spies in the sky

Tom Waits
03:39
|
|||
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song in the air
People living life with no care
Riding the night, with Tom Waits
And feeling alright
Down in the city, with its neon lights
There’s a song that never ends
People walking by in their Sunday best
Heading off to work again
Everywhere I go there’s a song in the air
People living life with no care
Riding the night, with Tom Waits
And feeling alright
There’s a place in my heart, where the music plays
It never stops, It never fades
Here in this moment, so free
And all the world is green

Oblique
03:46
|
|||
Dream of a life that’s never been seen
A world of possibilities, a place in between
A place of shadows, a place of light
A place of secrets, hiding in the night
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Can you tell me what you see?
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Just on the other side of me
A place of questions and answers
Somewhere to play a game of chance
A place for you to discover
What you think and what you know you can
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Can you tell me what you see?
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Just on the other side of me
A place of secrets, a place of lies
A place of truth and of disguise
A place of courage, a place of fear
A place to hold those who are dear
A place to question all you know
To answer should I stay or go
A place to see the real you
And face up to your own truth
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Can you tell me what you see?
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Just on the other side of me

Goths Go Surfing
03:16
|
|||
Goths on the beach, all dressed in black,
Heading for the waves, and they won’t look back.
The sun is shining bright, and the sand is warm,
Goths on their boards, ready to ride the storm.
Goths go surfing in the summer sun,
Following their dreams, having fun.
Day and night, they search for the best waves,
Goths rocking out, caught in a craze.
Goths with their boards, paddling out to sea,
Riding the waves, free as can be.
The salty air, and the ocean breeze,
Goths living life, just like you and me
Goths go surfing in the summer sun,
Following their dreams, having fun.
Day and night, they search for the best waves,
Goths rocking out, caught in a craze.
The waves and the beach can’t be denied
The waves and the beach can’t be denied
Can’t keep them down, they’re riding high,
Catching those waves on the edge of the night
They don’t care what people say,
They’ll keep doing things their own way.
Goths go surfing in the summer sun,
Following their dreams, having fun.
Day and night, they search for the best waves,
Goths rocking out, caught in a craze.

Worldview
04:23
|
|||
You open your mouth, the words slip out
I’m shocked by what I hear
The differences couldn’t be more clear
Same scene, different views
With our eyes and on the news
And I’m not sure what to do
I don’t understand your worldview
It’s like I no longer know you
We used to be so in sync
Now I hear you talk and I don’t know what to think
I don’t understand your worldview
I’m struggling here, I don’t know what to do
I’m pretty sure that I haven’t changed
So why is it you now sound so deranged?
Scene of the fire. You’re cheering it on
All I see is everything wrong
You look at me and say you don’t understand
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Different facts, different truths
Makes me wonder what’s become of you
I don’t understand your worldview
It’s like I no longer know you
We used to be so in sync
Now I hear you talk and I don’t know what to think
I don’t understand your worldview
I’m struggling here, I don’t know what to do
I’m pretty sure that I haven’t changed
So why is it you now sound so deranged?
There was a time we saw things eye to eye
I’m pretty sure those days are long gone by
I feel a distance growing every day
I can’t find any right words to say

Holding On To The Past
03:28
|
|||
I’m sitting here in the dark
Thinking how we fell apart
I can’t shake the feeling of your touch
Remembering the way you smiled
And how you said you’d stay a while
But now you’re gone and I’m here all alone
Why’d you have to go and leave me here
Feeling lost and full of fear
I’m holding on to our memories
But now they’re just a faded blur
I try to move but it’s so hard
When every step feels like a yard
I’m searching for a way to heal
I’ve heard with time it get easier
Meanwhile I feel queasier
Thinking of a life here without you
Why’d you have to go and leave me here
Feeling lost and full of fear
I’m holding on to our memories
But now they’re just a faded blur
I’ll keep holding on to the past
Hoping one day it’ll be the last
But ‘til then
I’ll be here
Holding on to the past
I’ll keep holding on to the past
Hoping one day it will be the last
But ‘til then
I’ll be here
Holding on to the past
Holding on to the past
I keep holding on to the past

Any Other Way
03:39
|
|||
Every time I see your smile
I feel like I’ve come home
And every time you stay a while
Is the best day that I’ve known
You’re the one that lights my way
Brings brightness to my day
And I just have to say
Don’t want it any other way
You’re the beat that keeps me strong
The rhythm of my soul
And every time you sing your song
It makes me feel whole
You’re the one that lights my way
Brings brightness to my day
And I just have to say
Don’t want it any other way
