1.Forget And Not Slow Down
How many times
Can I push it aside
Is it time I befriended all the ghosts
of all the things that haunt me most
So they leave me alone
Move on with my life
Be certain the steps of left and right
don't fight the direction of upright
I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
Pour over me and wash my hands of it
It's time to decide
Which is out of my mind
Cause it'll be me unless I put some thoughts to rest
and leave some faults behind
I'll watch the glint in my eye
Shine off the spring in my step
And could be blinding depending
on the amount of You that I reflect
Cause I could spend my life just trying to sift through
What I could've done better but what good do what ifs do
Oh oh Oh oh
There's something I should tell you now
I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
Pour over me and wash my hands of it
Cause I could spend my life just trying to sift through
What I could've done better but what good do what ifs do
Oh oh Oh oh
There's something I should tell you now
Oh oh Oh oh
There's something I should tell you now
I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
Pour over me and wash my hands of it
Pour over me and wash my hands of it
2.I Don't Need A Soul
Listen to the sirens as they sing me back to sleep
I pray that no one's seriously hurt
It feels like everything is dying
And add the panic point at me
Listen to the sirens still
Things could still be worse
But if you close yours eyes and listen close
You can hear the chapter close
And it's all been bound with better woes
If you like the way the story goes
The sun's still fun to chat about
And there's nothing to complain about now
This is fantastic and I've captured the fact
That this may be what's left of me if I held back
No, I don't need a soul
No, I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful
You and life remain beautiful
Departing from the hospital
The news shows on your face too well
Trying not to cough at all - it hurts
All options are exhausted all
The numbered days are numbered small
I miss you now, I loved you and I know
Things could still be worse
But if you close your eyes and listen close
You can hear that chapter close
And it's all been bound with better woes
If you like the way the story goes
The sun's still there to chat about
And there's nothing to complain about now
This is fantastic and I've captured the fact
That this may be what's left of me if I held back
No, I don't need a soul
No, I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful
You and life remain beautiful
You and life remain beautiful
If you close your eyes and listen close
You can hear that chapter close
It's all been bound with better woes
If you like the way this story goes
The sun's still fun without a doubt
And there's nothing to complain about now
So no, I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful
No, I don't need a soul
No, I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful
You and life remain beautiful
3.Candlelight
To know her is to love her
I'm goin' under cover to catch a glimpse but not get caught
But to see her, could be worse,
if I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not
She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
when you consider everyone
who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her,
cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please, don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady. I'm the tramp.
Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters in the butterfly
You, just a moth drawn to the lamp
She's like an ancient artifact;
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads around
Can't hold a candle to her,
cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Who may to may dare to bask in the same candlelight
She's almost brighter than the sun.
Seems to me to be unfair
when you consider everyone
who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her,
cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
In the same candlelight
4.Flare (Outro)
A solar flare
Shines through her
It's so unfair
When you compare
The one who's fairest of the fair
A solar flare
Shines through her hair
It's so unfair
When you compare
The one who's fairest of the fair
5.Part Of It
I've been working with adhesives
Chains and locks and ropes with knots to tether
But nothing's sticking to the pieces
I can't seem to hold it all together
But you should know
Cause that explains why it all just fell apart
It's not the end of the world
Just you and me
We're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And if a nightmare ever does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold
Well, I've been trying to ingest this
But everything to me just seems like nonsense
And I'm not sure if I can get it
I guess it's time for me to grow a conscience
To combat the laps
That explains why all of this simply collapsed
It's not the end of the world
Just you and me
We're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And if a nightmare ever does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold
It's been forever since I've gone
But I'm the cusack(？) on the lawn of your heart
It may be forever 'til I go
But before then you should know
That I could tear that place apart
I could tear that place apart
I swear this to you
I wish that this was not the truth
But it's something that you fell into
Crawling out is hard for you
I'm not so sure it's what you wanna do
Not convinced it's what you wanna do
It's just the weight of the world
Giving out under the string
And we're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
When a nightmare finally shows
It's not the end of the world
Just a calamity
And we're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold
6.Outro
I swear this to you
I wish that this was not the truth
But it's something that you fell into
Crawling out is hard on you
I'm not so sure it's what you wanna do
When the nightmare finally does unfold
I swear this to you
I wish that this was not the truth
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold
But it's something that you fell into
Crawling out is hard on you
I'm not so sure it's what you wanna do
7.Therapy
I never thought I'd be driving through the country just to drive
With only music and the clothes that I woke up in
I never thought I'd need all this time alone it goes to show
I had so much yet I had need for nothing
But you
This is just therapy
Let's call it what it is
(Not what we were)
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won't take my calls
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening to me
Letting it all sink in
It's good to feel a sting now and again
I hope it's one less woeful thing there is to fight through
Forgetting it all begin
Fresh paper and nice expensive pen
The past can not subtract a thing from what I might do
For you
Unless that's what I let it do
This is just therapy
Let's call it what it is
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won't take my calls
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening to me
Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused
Cause I spend my solitude with you
I gather all the questions of the things I just can't get
straight
And I answer them the way I guess you'd do
Cause this is my therapy
Cause you're the only one that's listening to me
This is my therapy
Let's call it what it is not what we were
With a death-grip on this life that's in transition
This is my therapy
Cause you won't hear me out
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening
This is my therapy
Let's call it what it is not what we were
With a death-grip on this life that's in transition
This is my therapy
Cause you won't hear me out
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening
8.Over It
I'll admit to who I am
The day I come to understand
I haven't got a clue
Been searchin' for a few years now
If I don't repeat myself
I'll change into someone else
I don't quite know who
Been searchin' for a few years now
I'm over it
Ya behind me now
I'm just over it
Over it
Ya I'm findin' out
I'm just over it
No I don't know
If it's over just yet
But I won't go slow
And time can let the mind forget
Don't tell me you don't know
Already
I'll protect your universe
And make a mess to make it worse
But time will only tell
You and no one else
I'm over it
Ya behind me now
I'm just over it
Over it
Ya I'm findin' out
I'm just over it
No I don't know
If it's over just yet
But I won't go slow
And time can let the mind forget
Don't tell me you don't know
Already
Don't tell me you let go
Oh
You say you made up your mind
And you finally decided that those that helped you choose
Haven't the slightest clue as to the magnitude
Of what you're about to lose
I'm guarded and therefore I can endure
A little bit more just a little bit more
Then some people would, if not misunderstood
It's still an attempt to be equal
Is well self-assured
If I'm still unsure that I'm pretty sure
That I am pretty good, God you know I'm good
I'm over it
Ya behind me now
I'm just over it
Over it
Ya I'm findin' out
I'm just over it
No I don't know
If it's over just yet
But I won't go slow
And time can let the mind forget
Don't tell me you don't know
Already
Don't tell me you let go
Already
Don't tell me you don't know
Already
Don't tell me you let go
Already
9.Sahara
Lying on my side knowing of thirst is how I'll die
Chalk on my tongue
Lying on the night beneath the dunes is where I lie to block the
sun
Trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside to overcome
This feeling of desertion can't be worse than never having
anyone
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back
A lion on his side was it the lying or his pride which brought
him down？
Once the king of beasts but now they feast on the thoughts
beneath his vacant crown
Trying to decide was it the lying or the pride which brought it
down？
To be alone to be dethroned belive me I know all about it now
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Dont ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back
I never told you then that I'd be easy to love
Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub
I wanna run to the plains further and farther away
Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Dont ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back
10.Oasis (Intro)
Savannah, savannah, savannah,
Savannah, savannah, savannah.
Savannah, savannah, savannah,
Savannah, savannah, savannah.
11.Savannah
Savannah
I hope to be there by the morning
and see this pining all transforming
into the arms of the Georgia sun
Savannah
I'd love to feel the heat the sunrise
Brushing rays across my windshield as if one dries
the streams from off my face
Yet I know you'll be there
cause you'll know I'll want you to be there
And we'll say hello as you're smiling in love
And we'll sigh so relieved
I believe because we will both know by
tonight we'll feel normal again
But until then
Savannah
Our backs supported by a hammock
we sum up perfection like a handbook
and God knows it all too well
Savannah
We'll take a walk to find a gift shop
Who would've thought the book that you bought
would never come off the shelf
Baby
I spent my life wondering
Wondering when I'd find you
I searched for all these years and now you're right here
I need you to know that
Everything makes sense when you're with me
Savannah
Walk out into the sultry evening
Cotton breathing when the sea winds
brush the hair down around your neck
Savannah
You hold my hand like it's the first time
and all the feelings that our hearts find
will be just what we expect
12.Baby (Outro)
Baby, It's all that I can do to thank you
Cuz every time you wrapped those arms around me
I felt I was home cuz
Everything made sense when you were with me
13.If You Believe Me
I got a chill and I wanted to say it was you
Be still because what I'm about to say is the truth
Unless we stretch until the point in nearly breaking in two
We'll never find our weakness coming on glue
A cracked sculpture I wanted to say it was you
Being vultures is why I feel the way I do
I fell in love and I wanted to say it was you
I wanted to say it was you
If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself
A sudden wind and I wanted to say it was you
I never been so confused about who knows the truth
It began when I wanted to say it was you
Cause I swore you had your head in this too
If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
You know it means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me
Because I'm here wondering what could you be thinking
Though I know you that you're thinking I wonder that all the
time
I can still invade your thoughts when you're not with me
Yet don't mind me I'm just a pinside on your mind
Yeah don't mind me I know you're wondering all the time
If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me
14.This Is The End
I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it, it's upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in
This may sound crazy but I wanna come back home
That's it, I said it, now I'm sailing off to Never Land, and
then Japan
So think real slow, don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
About the way you wanna go,
cause you may forget the way to get back home
This is the end if you want it, this is the end
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah, I've done worse things
that I might be less inclined to really just shrug off
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah, I still burn from time to time
but I've a healing hand against my side
So think real slow, don't forget that yes is yes and now is no
About the way you wanna go,
cause you may forget the way to get back home
This is the end if you want it,
this is the end if you want it, this is the end
15.If You Want It
I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it, it's upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in
If I was hasty, maybe I was rushed along
I will move into little boxes and then not give the urge to move
on
So think real slow, don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
Melting prince of grass and snow,
means I may forget the way to get back home
Cause this is the end if you want it, this is the end
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah, I've thought worse things
that I might be less inclined to really just shrug off
You'll take me home, like my family did, my father did, I know
You'll think real slow, don't forget the speed that I can go
Cause this is the end if you want it, this is the end
I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be
Been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be
I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes
Her hair had scales like silver serpents high as statues,
stood there mesmerized
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah, I still burn from time to time,
but I've a healing hand against my side
Blisters on my feet I crawl back home,
frozen from the sleet, burns, sand and stone
Nourished back to life by life alone,
one shake of the mane may gain the throne
