1.Blue To A Blind Man
We think we're broken
What if we're just a little cracked
I know we're choking on the little things
that seem to come with time
One word and watch our armies brawl
No one will bend until one falls
We used to fight you for me
and me for you
Tied up without your words that might cut through
It's like trying to teach blue to a blind man
Rude to a kind man
Or walking on the sun
You try and I do all that I can
But teaching blue to a blind mind
Can't be done
We used our soldiers
And it was us against the world
The toll was taken now
We're buried under life that comes with time
One word and watch our eagles brawl
No one will bend until one falls
We used to fight you for me
and me for you
It's like trying to teach blue to a blind man
Truth to a lie
And walking on the sun
I try and I do all that I can
But teaching blue to a blind mind
Can't be done
We can go home
You can sleep
And I can think for a while
We can't go on and on on empty
On endless oceans dry
It's like trying to teach blue to a blind man
Rude to a kind man
Screaming at the sun
You try and I do all that I can
But teaching blue to a blind mind
Can't be done
Can't be done
Teaching blue to a blind mind
2.The Other Side
They say you ought a think about it
Spend a little time without it
Do you have to let me go
Just to figure this thing out
No I couldn't live without it
Don't even wanna think about it
But we've never been here before
And it's raining
And the daylight's fading
Got a ticket to ride
Got a ticket to Rome
I just hope you can find your way back home
Just do what you gotta do
See what you gotta see
Be who you wanna be
Leave if you gotta leave
Just figure this thing out
Take a chance
Take a trip
Take a swing
Take a hit
Take a look at your life
Cause at the end of the ride
I'll be there on the other side
I know I couldn't live with myself
If your heart was somewhere else
When you're lying in bed
Wondering that sleepless wonder
As a matter of fact
I wish you would
Find your way back
To somewhere good enough
Where you can see
That I'm for you
And you still need me
Got a ticket to ride
Got a reason to roam
I just hope you can find your way back home
Just do what you gotta do
See what you gotta see
Be who you wanna be
Leave if you gotta leave
Just figure this thing out
Take a chance
Take a trip
Take a swing
Take a hit
Take a look at your life
Cause at the end of the ride
I'll be there on the other side
Please don't take this thing for granted
Or hide it from the sun
Oh you know I'll wait forever
But your silence tells me
It might be a while
Just do what you gotta do
See what you gotta see
Be who you wanna be
Leave if you gotta leave
Just even this thing out
Take a chance
Take a trip
Take a swig
Take a hit
Take a look at your life
Cause I know you're justified
I'll be there on the other side
Cause at the end of the ride
I'll be there on the other side
Cause at the end of the ride I'll be there
3.Completely Wasted
I choose my words
Carefully
Each one is a piece of me
And I'm so afraid
Of being misunderstood
I choose my faces
Thoughtfully
While you think
You've got a read on me
Intended to be misunderstood
But why did I choose to be like this
I'm standing here
Completely wasted
Are all these things predetermined
To wreck me
Completely wasted
I choose my vices daringly
Some may have a grip on me
Befriended
Oh to change my head
I choose my lovers
Cautiously
Shame soaked eyes
And secrecy
Unamended
But needy eagles fed
Why did I choose to be like this
I'm standing here
Completely wasted
Are all these things so determined
To test me
Completely wasted
Why would I choose to be like this
I'm standing here
Completely wasted
Is everything predetermined
To shake me
Completely wasted
But why did I choose to be like this
I'm standing here
Completely wasted
Are all these things predetermined
To wreck me
Completely wasted
4.I Don't Mind
You keep saying this will kill me
You keep telling me I'm way too serious intense
While I'm swallowed in this suit of my self pity
Yeah well I can't admit it
But you might be right again
And I don't mind
When you simplify my situation at all
Just by telling me I'll be alright again
And I don't mind
When you sing so badly that it scares me
And you dance around like nobody's watching at all
At times you're completely inconvenient
It's like you consider twisting me some kind of sport
And then you say to me these things are not equipped
To handle no no no
Hate to admit it
But you might be right again
And I don't mind
When you simplify my situation at all
Just by telling me I'll be alright again
And I don't mind
When you sing so badly that it scares me
And you dance around like nobody's watching at all
And I don't mind
When you simplify my situation at all
Just by telling me I'll be alright again
And I don't mind
When you sing so badly that it scares me
So come dance for me like nobody's watching at all
5.It's Alright
We can talk about the government
Or sit here contemplating Jesus
We can argue about who or what is God
I don't know
But we can't fill in all the pieces
It's alright it's alright
It's alright it's alright
It's life it's life
It's alright it's alright it's alright
We can walk along the boulevard
It'll lead us to a thousand places
Watch the people walk
And wonder what they're thinkin
Watch the movie that's playin on their faces
It's alright it's alright
It's alright it's alright
It's life it's life
It's alright it's alright it's alright
It's not catastrophe
It has to be much bigger
You aren't the tragedy you think you are
Just let it go
You have never been to Florida
And I may never get to Paris
This time, this time is all we have
But I wonder if they say that
Just to scare us
It's alright it's alright
It's alright it's alright
It's life it's life
It's alright it's alright it's alright
6.Better This Way
She fell apart
And I fell to pieces
We held on as long as we could
The weight of my world
Has been waiting forever to pull us apart
It finally won
Life made her leave
When she just wanted to be with me
What kind of irony's that
We can't find another way
I'd give it all to let her stay
This time is too much to ask of her
She won't be waiting forever
I'll find her as fast as I can
Hey you
Take a look at me now
Remember my face
Remember my name
Believe it or not
The best thing to do
Is leave here today
Baby I love you so
But I know it's better this way
Some things are meant to be hard
Some things are just meant to be
Sometimes they're the same
Like collisions of pain
Till you fight your way through
To the other side
She won't be fighting forever
I'll find her as fast as I can
Hey you
Take a look at me now
Remember my face
Remember my name
Believe it or not
The best thing to do
Is leave here today
Baby I love you so
But I know that it's better this way
Don't break from the wings
While you shake from the cold
Don't heed the mistakes that we've made
Hey you
Take a look at me now
Remember my face
Remember my name
Believe it or not
The right thing to do
Is leave here today
Baby I love you so
But I know that it's better
Hey you
Take a look at me now
Remember my face
Remember my name
Believe it or not
The right thing to do
Is leave here today
Baby I love you so
But I know that it's better this way
7.So Far
I don't have to be a millionaire
I don't have to be the sunshine on your shoulders
But I will keep you warm
I don't have to be particularly like Mike
Or a wild-eyed Casanova
But I might make you laugh a little
It's always been a riddle
Why I'm stuck here in the middle
I always try to do the best I can
A little more than half a man for you
Baby
So far
So good
We can be the king and queen
Of mediocrity and in between
We'll go on a permanent vacation
A journey of temptation
Full of mystery
Guaranteed
I don't have to be a personality
Like everyone in California
But I might make you think a little
I don't have to be a politician
Wonder boy, superman or Elvis
But I do like the clothes they wear
It's always been a riddle
Why I'm stuck here in the middle
I always try to do the best I can
A little more than half a man for you
Baby
So far
So good
We can be the king and queen
Of mediocrity and in between
We'll go on a permanent vacation
A journey of temptation
Full of mystery
Just you and me
I don't have to own a Cadillac
And then sit in back while someone else is drivin
But I'll take you on adventures
I don't have to be 6 foot 3
Cause eventually I'll shrink anyway
But I'll still be around
I swear
It's always been a riddle
Why I'm stuck here in the middle
I always try to do the best I can
A little more than half a man for you
Baby
So far
So good
We can be the king and queen
Of mediocrity and in between
We'll go on a permanent vacation
A journey of temptation
Full of mysteries
Wait and see
Full of mystery
Mystery
8.33,059 Days
I'll remember a lot of things
Mostly I'll remember the laughter
And the way you walked into a room
Maybe after a while
I'll listen when it's quiet
And we'll talk about the things I fear
And the things you see
You'll be everything they need
Yeah, you'll teach them all to dream
And leave them laughing
Yeah yeah
Sylvia
I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
It's gonna crush
But I'll be strong enough to make it
The way you'd want
For 33,059 days
My Sylvia lived
But she never behaved for anyone
Oh no I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
I can't remember to this day
I'll never know what happened to the hours
To the days we talked away away
It can't be over
But I'll say goodbye for now
After midnight
Or first light
Well I'll see you then
Just don't forget me
You'll be everything they need
Yeah, you'll teach them all to dream
And leave them laughing
Yeah yeah yeah
Sylvia
I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
It's gonna crush
But I'll be strong enough to make it
The way you'd want
For 33,059 days
My Sylvia lived
But she never behaved for anyone
Oh no I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
We have everything we need
Yeah she's just like you indeed
And leaves us laughing
Sylvia
I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
It's gonna crush
But I'll be strong enough to make it
The way you want
For 33,059 days
My Sylvia lived
But she never behaved for anyone
Oh no I'm gonna miss you while you're gone
Yeah I'll miss you while you're gone
Gonna miss you while you're gone
Gonna miss you while you're gone
9.Ride
I stopped to talk to my friend
He said he messed up again
Said he don't wanna be here
Don't know how to leave
And he talked about how
He would bush, beat around
Just add to his mess
While nothing changed
Everyday is another ride
Everyday is a chance to fly
So get up, get on with life
And ride, ride
Everyday last week she
Would drink herself to sleep
Said she don't wanna be here
But she don't wanna leave
And then right around noon
She'd still be up in her room
Trying to think her way out
Of an unlocked door
Everyday is another ride
Everyday is a chance to fly
So get up, get on with life
And ride, ride
Don't know where to begin
Here it comes again
Can I pause and just
Start things over？
Leave the fortunate sun
Get another one
That's right on time
Everyday is another ride
Everyday is a chance to fly
So get up, get down that line
And ride, ride
Everyday is another ride
Everyday is a chance to fly
So get up, get down that line
And ride, ride
10.Chance
I never knew how much I'd come to love you
I couldn't know how much I'd come to love you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Of the greatest gift I almost faded away
I had no idea how much I'd come to need you
I had no idea how much I'd burn when I can't see you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Of the greatest gift who's ever taken to me
But you pierced my heart in June
Turned and hung the moon
In a while, child
I was wrapped around your finger
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
I can't believe I called it love before you
I think I even thought I could ignore you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Those days were cold
And I almost faded away
But you changed the way I breathe
And rearrange of needs
To the world you might be one
But to me you are the world
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
We're all searching for the things that make us matter
We're all hungry in our needing to be whole
Then we find the only thing that really matters
Are the people in our lives whose hearts we hold
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And claim me to be your own
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
11.You And Me
You lie to yourself
And you lied to my friends
I tried to be tall
And I thought if I'd bend
You would come over
From there where you stand
Maybe you'd see who I really am
But I'm not enough
And I never once was
What you wanted
The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
No I'll never be
Who you want me to be
Let me just walk away
Without causing a scene
Oh you're not who you seem
The best part of us was me
The best part of us was me
You were so shiny
I got knocked off my track
I overlooked this
And I overlooked that
You're in the spotlight
And not what you seemed
Creepy nightmare bowed from a dream
I'm not enough
And I never once was
What you wanted
The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
Yeah
No I'll never be
Who you want me to be
Let me just walk away
Without causing a scene
Oh you're not who you seem
The best part of us was me
The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
Yeah
The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
If I'll never be who you want me to be
Let me just walk away without causing a scene
Oh you're not who you seemed
The best part of us was me
The best part of us was me
The best part of us was me
The best part of us was me
The best part of us was me
12.We Don't Talk Anymore
Used to lie awake and talk away
Whatever things were hanging in the air
Spoke adventures and philosophies
Now the conversation's ended
Cause you can't stop flipping around
We got news at eleven
We got sinners selling Heaven
We got infomercial dramas
We got MTV
We spend hours now online
Anything to pass the time
All I know is that we never talk anymore
No
Used to walk around and talk about
War, religion, and people on the street
Critique the books we read
And the trials of our parents
And we'd scream through happy hour
Wondering where we were going to eat
We got news at eleven
We got sinners selling Heaven
We got infomercial dramas
We got MTV
We spend hours now online
Anything to pass the time
All I know is that we never talk anymore
No
Can't you see I'm looking backwards
My friend
I'm lonely here and I need somebody to talk to
Won't you listen
How you listened
When this all got started
Used to hug the phone and talk to sleep
And wake up with it warm against your soul
And I would fall asleep just listening to you breathing
Now you screen your machine
And you hug your remote control
We got news at eleven
Political parties into Heaven
We got infomercial dramas
We got MTV
We spend hours now online
Anything to pass the time
All I know is that we never talk anymore
We got news twenty four seven
We got Letterman, Jay and Conan
We got wealthy TV psychics
We got VH1
We spend hours now online
Even porn to pass the time
All I know is that we never talk anymore
No
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
