I need you to hear me,
I want you to feel this,
It should be clear as fear and plain as day.

I'm not going to bend now,
You're not going to break me,
You'll never be hard enough to scratch my face.

I wanted to feel you,
I tried to belong here,
With all of the ghosts and faded headlines.
But I couldn't read you,
You wouldn't let me,
You always pull away from the ones you can't define.

Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life.

Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one,
When all is said and done,
Yeah honey, all is said and done.

I need to move through this,
The waiting just kills me.
Whatever you do is on you, I'm washed clean.
No, don't be alarmed now the story's ending,
These aren't open arms, they're just waving you away.

Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life.

Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
You've never been the brightest one,
When all is said and done,
Yeah honey, all is said and done.
All is said and done.

I need you to hear me,
I want you to feel this,
It should be clear as fear and plain as day.

Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life.

Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one,
When all is said and done.

Oh, are you tired, of running for your life?
When there's no one left behind,
Just the chaos in your mind.

Oh baby are you sad,
Each day you greet the sun?
You know you're not the brightest one,
When all is said and done.
All is said and done.

We carried all the colors,
from the portrait of our summer.
We never felt the answers,
weighing down our shoulders.

Time goes fast when you wander,
and nothing lasts forever.
But I still feel the power,
of you and me together,
and light that surrounds you.

I know I'm the lucky one,
'though I'm always the last to believe.
I know I'm the lucky one,
'cause I'm here, and you're with me.

So tell me are you willing,
to try this thing called living.
'cause there's so many edges hidden,
it's so hard to be forgiving.

But I'll try once if you ask me,
and once again everlasting.
For all my days I'll love you,
and all the stars you run through,
see the light surround you...

I know I'm the lucky one,
'though I'm always the last to believe.
I know I'm the lucky one,
'cause I'm here, and you're with me.

When the wrongs and the rights all've been pushed aside,
you're my favorite color.
You're the black to the white and the warmth inside,
you're the sun I'm under.

I volunteer to watch you,
through the dreams that haunt you.
I promise, to wake you,
before the fear takes you.

May the light surround you
(May the light surround you)
May the light surround you....

I know I'm the lucky one,
'though it took so long to see.
I know I'm the lucky one,
'cause I'm here, and you're with me.

(May the light surround you)

. . .


You illuminate me
You're the color I see
You're all the shines above
Through the dark and mistrust

All the doubt in your eyes
All the stars in the night
Is it the distance you need
Or is it just me?

I know you're awake
'cause you shake when you cry
As long as I wait,
I've got nothing but time

Take me in, or just take me out
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out
We're either alive or a lie
I'm done with the middle ground.

You're the wind at my back
You're the courage I lack
But you live your life like a war
What are you fighting for?

Your touch is the water
that gives and takes away
So I wait in the gutter
for another rainy day

Take me in, or just take me out
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out
We're either alive or a lie
I'm done with the middle ground.

You close your eyes to see the sun
And all the things you've never done
They all come out in the dark
And once again just break your heart

I know you're awake
'cause you shake when you cry
I'll hold you, I'll hold you,
But you've got to decide

Take me in, or just take me out
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out
We're either alive or a lie, oh
We're either alive or a lie
I'm done with the middle ground.

I'm done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground.
Done with the middle ground.

I'm done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground.

. . .


You're only broken on the outside
You're shivering, but the warmth will come back
It's hard to see beyond hindsight
When all regrets fade in from black

Did the promise of day, turn cold in the night
You are the light
All you have is your name, but the air is alive
You are the light

I believe in you
I believe in you

It's always hardest when you doubt it
It's out of sight, it hides from you voice
But you can never live without it
It's your birthright, this beautiful noise

Are you burning the days just to get through the nights?
You are the light
All you have is your name, but the air is alive
You are the light

I believe in you
I believe in you

I believe in you
I believe in you

If the years blow away
To just sand and rain
We will still find a place
'cause love breaks through

I believe in you
I believe in you

I believe in you
I believe in you

I believe
( ,mumble> falling away)
in you
(When you try but it's all the same, it just)
I believe
(Recognize you need to break through)
in you
(I believe, I believe in you)

. . .


The clouds are rollin' in
Who will watch them?
The waves are strong
The boat is gone
I hope they're swimmin'

Little boy lost in woods
Where's the clearing?
The town is out
They're calling loud
But he's not hearing

It seems to me I'm always miles away
Looking for my own face

Save me from myself
I can't relate
We're mouth to mouth
And still I suffocate
There's nothing left
Inside for me to break
Save me from myself

The bullet in the yard
Slowly rusting
The bottles crack
The kids come back
And I'm just lookin'

The wine is on the floor
The candles flicker
Your eyes fall
And I'm apalled
It's all just cinder

That seems to me we're always miles apart
Trying to find another place to start

Save me from myself
I can't relate
We're mouth to mouth
And still I suffocate
There's nothing left
Inside for me to break
Save me from myself

The sailors never left
They knew the weather
When they were found
They were having drinks together

They found the little boy in the grocery
Happy endings all around
And still they haunt me

Save me from myself
I can't relate
We're mouth to mouth
And still I suffocate
There's nothing left
Inside of me to break
Save me from myself

Save me from myself
There's nothing left inside me
There's nothing left

. . .


The waves on the shore, can't be ignored
Soon they're all around you
The cavalry fail, they've all gone
But you're holding on
Somehow is not what you asked for

Why do you cry in the morning
When the line is just forming
I know you think I'm just carrying on
When I've been where you're going
And it's not worth knowing
Burning the days I'm just carrying on

The search for the way, to harvest the pain
'Cause all of is contagious
Knowing your head, no control of what you let go
Sometimes, it's not what you dreamed of

Why do you cry in the morning
When the line is just forming
I know you think I'm just carrying on
When I've been where you're going
And it's not worth knowing
Burning the days I'm just carrying on

And after all that you've forgotten
You still don't understand
You think the world broke it's promise
But it just slipped right through your hands

Tell me why do you cry in the morning
When the line is just forming
I know you think I'm just carrying on
But I've been where you're going
And it's not worth knowing
Burning the days I'm just carrying on

Oh carrying on

The waves on the shore
Can't be ignored
Soon they're all around you

. . .


It's not enough to tear me up
You need to watch me as I drop
Lying here in the wreakage of a life

Hit me hard, push me down
While you stand your holy ground
Blame it all on the one you blew away

But don't you just feel fine

All of your kindness
All of your blindness
I hope you realize this
I'm giving it back to you
All of your hatred
That you hold so sacred
I am elated
To give it back to you

Tell me how it's for the best
You left me such a pretty mess
Cast away like flowers on the floor

Swimming in your scent and all the words you never meant
But you always knew to leave me wanting more

But don't you look so nice

All of your kindness
All of your blindness
I hope you realize this
I'm giving it back to you
All of your hatred
That you hold so sacred
I am elated
To give it back to you

I've had enough of the blood and the blame
Down in the dust and the rust and the shame

All of your kindness
All of your blindness
Do you realize this
It's all coming back

All of your kindness
All of your blindness
I hope you realize this
I'm giving it back to you
All of your hatred
That you hold so sacred
I am elated
To give it back to you
Back to you

It's not enough to tear you up
I need to watch you as you drop

. . .


Can you finally reach me
Out beyond the blue
I've been gone a long time
Far away from you

I can see that love alone is not enough
If you don't believe in what you are and what you've got

The tears you've cried have come to my eyes

Can you, can you help me?
'cause I went away
Can you, can you help me?
Or is it too late?
Can you, can you help me?
I'm trying to get through
Can you, can you help me?
'cause I wanna love you

Once you've been defeated
Once you've been defined
Once your will is broken down
It's so hard to feel alive

But I believe that somewhere out across the fields
I can see what is false and what is real

You're the one face that holds me in place
I can see you

Can you, can you help me?
'cause I went away
Can you, can you help me?
Or is it too late?
Can you, can you help me?
I'm trying to get through
Can you, can you help me?
'cause I'm want to love you

You say hush, everyone heals in time
So hush, hush, everyone heals in time
Hush everyone heals in time, time
So hush, hush, everyone heals in time

Can you, can you help me?
'cause I went away
Can you, can you help me?
Or is it too late?
Can you, can you help me?
I'm trying to get through
Can you, can you help me?
'cause I wanna love you

I wanna love you

. . .


I wasn't sleeping
I wasn't dreaming
I kept my head down
I kept my head down

I wasn't laughing
I think I was crashing
'cause I always fall down
I always fall down

Now everything I've ever known
just fades into the Afterglow
this light surrounds you
and your light pulls me through
and even though the past is gone
I've got you here I'm holding on
lookout from below
and stay with me here in the Afterglow

I wasn't breathing
my heart had stopped beating
frozen in time
frozen inside

Now everything I've ever known
just fades into the Afterglow
this light surrounds you
and your light pulls me through
and even though the past is gone
I've got you here I'm holding on
lookout from below
and stay with me here in the Afterglow

You saved me from this hiding place
where I waste away
you change this winter's night into
the perfect summer's day

Now I'm believing
the pain is receiding
you're like water to wine
water to wine

Now everything I've ever known
just fades into the Afterglow
this light surrounds you
and your light pulls me through
and anywhere you want to go
I'll take you there
just let me know
and stay with me here
stay with me here
just stay with me here in the Afterglow

. . .


Here is the place where the light is made
Come make a wish as the night fades
Is there snow on the beach
Where we used to swim?
The rocks just out of reach
As the tide rolled in

It's so much better with you here
I want you close my dear
When my roads are down
You turn me around
It's never easier alone
Finding my way home
When I'm nowhere near
I want you here

Watch as they run we can follow close
Lie in the sun when it matters most

It's so much better with them here
It's all so perfectly clear
We know there's love
And someone above
I don't ever want to be alone
The thought chills me to the bone
I'll preserver but I want them here

All that's left to write
I love you more than light and dark
And distant stars
If all the streams dried up
I'd just drink you up

Here is the place
Where the love is made

It's so much better with you her
I want you close my dear
When my roads are down
You turn me around
It's never easier alone
Finding my way home
When I know what I fear
I want you
And all my fears disappear
It's all so clear
I want you here
I want you here
I want you

. . .


Welcome home its been a while
We've been expecting you
You try to deny your family
oh, but we came through so
Welcome,
welcome,
Welcome to the bottom

The waters gone, and the grain is back
It's not exactly where you wanna be
But we're the only true friends you've ever had
This company loves your misery, so
welcome
welcome
welcome to the bottom

welcome
welcome
welcome to the bottom

chorus
welcome tooooo the moment
to the highlight of your life
welcome tooooo the horror
and theres no where you can hide
welcome toooo the bottom

The acid burns and it takes its toll
but we all get used to it
Theres no give and take
its just push and pull
it only hurts for a bit, so
welcome
welcome
welcome to the bottom

welcome
welcome
welcome to the bottom

chorus
welcome tooooo the moment
to the highlight of your life
welcome tooooo the horror
and theres no where you can hide
welcome toooo the bottom

its so endearing how you thought you could change
we know you'll be happy
you just need someone to blame
welcome back we're back
we're glad you know your place
its always there for you

welcome tooooo the moment
to the highlight of your life
welcome tooooo the horror
and theres no where you can hide
welcome toooo the moment
to the highlight of your life
welcome tooooo the horror
and theres no where you can hide

welcome
welcome
welcome tooooooooooooo the bottom

Even now
after all these years
i think about you with both joy and pain
even now
i remember when you left
i walked all night through the rain
broken and lost swearing i'd never love that way again

even then you were aiming much higher
somewhere higher
where you thought i could fly

even then you were looking for rainbows
something more
then the cloudless blue sky

now you tell me you were wrong
you never should have left me for an empty dream
and now you spill out your regrets
A mighty river to a bitter stream
lying awake thinking about all that might have been
i guess we're even now
i guess we're even now

even now
more often then I'd like
i think of you and the place we used to share

even now
i remember all the songs
and the perfume in your hair
i was carried away until you cut me down in mid air

even then
there was something inside you
something bright
that was burning so cold

even then
there was something about you
something dark
that i couldn't hold

and now you tell me that your life has never been the free flight you thought it would be
and now you know its way to late
all we've got is history
you know that when i lost you, you lost me
i guess we're even now
oh
i guess we're even now
i think we're even now

even then
you were looking for rainbows
even then
in a perfect blue sky

i guess we're even now
i guess we're even now
i think we're even now
could be we're even now
i think we're even now
i think we're even now
i think we're even now

all that summer
in the moonlight
you were dreaming
i was believing

all that summer
(all that summer)
in the moonlight
(in the moonlight)
you were dreaming
(you were dreaming)
i was believing
