1.Square One
You're in control
Is there anywhere you wanna go?
You're in control
Is there anything you wanna know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which you travel in
From the top of your first page
To the end of the last page
From the start in your own way
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
I said I'm on the top, I can't get back
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The first line in your first page
To the end of the last page
That you...
From the start in your own way
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
Oh, you just want
Somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too?
They're bleeding all the colors into one
And a few come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult who fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one.
2.What If
What if there was no light
Nothing wrong, nothing right
What if there was no time
And no reason or rhyme
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life
What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life
Refr:
Oooh, that's right
Let's take a break, try to put it aside
Oooh, that's right
I can't ignore it if you won't even try
Oooh, that's right
When every step that you take
Can be your biggest mistake
And it could bend or it could break
Well that's just the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side
Refr.
Oooh, that's right
Let's take a break, try to put it aside
Oooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Oooh, that's right
3.White Shadows
When I was a young boy
I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows
Blink and glisten
Part of a system I am
If you ever feel like
something's missing
Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows
Sparkle and glisten
Part of a system plan
All the smiles are waking up
All the space I'm taking up
Oh the sun is breaking up
oooohh....
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you go and you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find that you keep me
In a permanent state ...a permanent state
When I was a young boy
I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system plan
All the smiles are waking up
All the space I'm taking up
I cannot hear you breaking up
oooohh....
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you go and you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find that you keep me
In a permanent state ...a permanent state..
I swear I'm only seeing faces
Tired of the human races
Oh, answer now is what I need
See it in a new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me
4.Fix You
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try, then you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you that I'll learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
5.Talk
Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to meet you 'cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Or do something that's never been done
So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk.
6.X & Y
Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
So part of the plan (?)
When something is broken
and you try to fix it
Trying to repair it anyway you can
I'm diving off the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you but I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
and I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it anyway I can
Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh
You and me are floating on a tidal wave together
You and me are drifting into outer space
and singing
Oooohh, oooohh
You and me are floating on a tidal wave together
You and me are drifting into outer space
You and me are floating on a tidal wave together
You and me are drifting into outer space
and singing
Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh
7.Speed Of Sound
How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide or
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do i go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do i have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine
Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop or
Before I see things the right way up
All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
I deas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
CORRECTION: But you've been in China all lit up
A sign that I couldn't read
or a light, that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
When others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
All those signs I knew what they meant
Somethings you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
And birds gone flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
8.A Message
My song is love
Love to the lovely song
And it goes on
You don't have to be alone
Your heavy heart
Is made of stone
And it's so hard to see you clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own
And I'm not gonna take it back
And I'm not gonna say I don't know that
You're the target that I'm aiming at
Got to get that message home
My song is love
Love to the lovely song
But I'm on fire for you, clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own
And I'm not gonna take it back
Oh, I'm not gonna say I don't know that
You're the target that I'm aiming at
And I'm nothing on my own
Got to get that message home
And I'm not gonna stand and wait
I'm not gonna leave it until it's much too late
On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say
That I'm nothing on my own
And I love you, please come home
My song is love, is love I know
And I've got to get that message home.
9.Low
You see the world in black and white
No colours or light
You think you never get it right
But you won't be mine
The sky could fall fall on me
The part to know decieves
But you mean more, mean more to me
Then any colour i can see in you
All you ever wanted is love,
but you never looked hard enough, its never gonna give itself up
all you ever wanted to be living in perfect symmetry, nothing is
down on a serve, deserted..
You see the world in black and white
no pain no right
You see no mean into your life
you should tryyy-ah-yy
you should tryyy-ah-yy
All you ever wanted is love,
but you never looked hard enough, its never gonna give itself up
10.Hardest Part
And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
was the hardest part
And the strangest thing
was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest part
I could feel it go down
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
Silver line in the cloud
Oh and I wish that I could work it out
And the hardest part
was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart, oh
And I tried to sing
But I couldn't think of anything
And that was the hardest part of all
I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
The silver line in the cloud
Oh and I, oh and I, I wonder what it's all about
I wonder what it's all about
Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
And thats the hardest part, that's the hardest part
Yeah that's the hardest part, that's the hardest part
11.Swallowed In The Sea
You caught me down a tree and brought it back to me
and that's what made me see where i was going wrong
you put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself
i can only blame myself you can only blame me
And i could write a song
a hundred miles long
well thats where i belong and you belong
with me
and i could write it down and spread it all around, get lost and
then get found
or swallowed in the sea
you put me on a line and hung me out to dry
an darling that's when i decide to go to sea
you cut me down to size and opened iup my eyes, made me realise
what i could not see
and i could write a book
the one you say it shook
the one that many took
and took it back from me
and i could write it down and spread it all around
get lost and then get found and swallowed in the sea
ooh
aaa
and i could write a song a hundred miles long
well thats where i belong and you belong with me
the streets youre walking on
a thousand houses long
well thats where i belong
and you belong with me
with nothing left to give
forget and not forgive
the streets youre walking on
a thousand houses long
well thats where i belong
and you belong with me
im swallowed in the sea
you belong with me
not swallowed in the sea
12.Twisted Logic
Sunlight, opened up my eyes
To see for the first time
You'll open them up
And tonight, rivers will run dry
And not for the first time
Rivers will run
Hundreds of years in the future
It could be computers
Looking for life on earth
Don't fight for the wrong side
Say what you feel like
Say how you feel
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards again
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go
Created, then drilled and invaded
If somebody made it
Someone will mess it up
And you are not wrong to
Ask who does this belong to
It belongs to all of us
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards again
You'll go backwards, but then
you'll go forwards
You'll go backwards, but then
you'll go forwards again
You'll go forwards again
You'll go forwards
13.Till Kingdom Come
Steal my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time,
My time has come
Let me in
Unlock the door
I never felt this way before
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come
hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I've waited all in tears
For you I'd wait till kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I heard you laugh, I heard you sing
And I wouldn't change a single thing
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become
For you I'd wait till kingdom come
Until my day, until my days are gone
Say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
14.How you see the world
Are you missing something
Looking for something
Tired of everything
Searching and struggling
Are you worried about it
Do you wanna talk about it
Oh you're gonna get it right some time
Theres so much to be scared of
And not much to make sense of
Are you running in a circle
You can't be too careful
And you can't relate it
'Cause it's complicated
Oh you're gonna get it right some time
You're gonna get it right some time
It's how you see the world
How many times can you say
You can't believe what you learn
It's how you see the world
Don't you worry yourself
Your not gonna get hurt
Oooohhhhh...
Is there something missing
There's nobody listening
Are you scared of what you don't know
Dont wanna end up on your own
You need conversation
And information
Ohhhhhhhhh...
Gonna get it right sometimes
You just wanna get it right sometimes
It's how you see the world
How many times have you heard
You can't believe a word
It's how you see the world
Don't you worry yourself
'Cos nobody can learn
Oooooh
Oooooh
Ooooooooh
That's how you see the world
That's how you see the world
