1.In Your Shadow
i was walking in your shadow
barely faded lines
without warning
you were taken
by my grey-green eyes
without words it's a pity
i will fall behind
sing it sweetly now
i will show you how
and you start to slide
you fell into my arms
clearly wanting, only waiting
guarded carefully
only time will tell your story
but not faithfully
have you heard?
in this city you're just one more lie
leaving everything
it's the cost it brings
you won't say you tried
you fell into my arms
2.Hesitate
it was one reminder of many had of you
always saying something that we both know is true
everything you are makes me hesitate
you don't speak with your heart
i can't walk away
your own fantasy's gone
now the clock won't stop racing
take back every doubt
if you don't, i can't save it
maybe tell me one thing that stings a little less
and not that i should know that i just don't trust
myself
everything you are makes me hesitate
you don't speak with your heart
i can't walk away
your own fantasy's gone
now the clock won't stop racing
take back every doubt
if you don't, i can't save it
3.The Lovely Ones
and so the story goes
the plainest girl you know is not the fantasy
with happy, starry eyes she takes them by surprise
and oh, they're so, so pleased
where blame is here and there
your guilt is everywhere
you wait for one mistake
the ever gentle man will tear her down again
and you'll be there to praise
the lovely ones
all come undone
the very thing you hate will have you giving thanks
suspend your own belief
until you can't afford another closing door
regret and jealousy
the lovely ones
all come undone
4.One Hand Away From Out
too scared to be your baby doll and still believe
that you're too scared to live out loud
what do we need
the little girl inside of me was lost and found
and when she fell into your arms
she hit the ground
you're not the only one who had to break a heart
one hand away from out, it's not my fault
before the crazy, before me
you always knew
that you would find the thing to be before it flew
with one foot at my lonely door, your shadow bare
i'm standing on the other side
you know i'm there
you're not the only one who had to break a heart
one hand away from out, it's not my fault
5.In Line With The Broken-Hearted
moving forward, it goes line by line
lonely moments between wasting time
if you wanted, you could be anybody, they say...
find your spot in line with the broken-hearted
and wait...
bullied open, nearly endless fight
sinking under your own secret life
if you wanted, you could be anybody, they say...
find your spot in line with the broken-hearted
and wait...
slow but focused, barely hear the lies
simple pictures of your own demise
if you wanted, you could be anybody, they say
find your spot in line with the broken-hearted
and wait...
6.When It Started
whosever frozen heart you are
take the long way there when you're building it
but it's still tumbling down
and if you wait for a while
there might be one small smile in the thick of it
that will adjust your heart
you were nothing when it started
i built you up and now you are just another memory
when every blue sky meets a storm
your tiny cloud can't hide from the poetry
of its amazing light
with all the chaos that you want
you make the most of this lovely tragedy
before you lose your nerve
you were nothing when it started
i built you up and now you are just another memory
and every waving goodbye
becomes a part of your favorite melody
and you forget tonight
you were nothing when it started
i built you up and now you are just another memory
7.Even Now
why did you ask me what's wrong
you don't want to know and can't help me
but just play along
i wake up beside you
and sometimes that's all that it takes
it's never just one thing
but a mountain of so many little things
i'm so bored, and you know
but you think it's just today
small time adventures are easy
so that's what we'll do
plenty of nothing is something
if left up to you
being along but together is how we stay free
i know that you wonder
if you are the best one for me
i'm so bored, and you know
but you think it's just today
is it worth the heartache
is this what you want from me
even now...
i'm so bored, and you know
but you think it's just today
8.Fragile
I'm pretty sure I told you
that i would be the strong one
i can't believe the decisions
that brought me to this moment
every word is on fire as i read them
though unnoticed
now I don't know if i was unhappy
before knowing
stamp me with fragile and put me away
enjoying the torture won't make it okay
you don't want to be with me anyway
what has this symptom done
very tempting and disarming
i start to agonize
while you're doing all the charming
when finally you're convinced
that I'm easy to be broken
i try to be so still
but you bury me in motion
stamp me with fragile and put me away
enjoying the torture won't make it okay
you don't want to be with me anyway
you wanted to stop it and everything...
stamp me with fragile and put me away
enjoying the torture won't make it okay
9.Maybe
every night that fell apart
in pieces that you made
was left right where you laid it down
i didn't think you could change
on any other starry night
the sight of you would make it right
the slightest wind would help me breathe
and everything would spin
maybe this time, baby you will be mine
and anything that you say makes me sway
baby, won't you stay?
waited through the worst of it
while each one was your dream
let you think you'd be a star
which distanced you from me
on any other starry night
the sight of you would make it right
the slightest wind would help me breathe
and everything would spin
maybe this time, baby you will be mine
and anything that you say makes me sway
baby, won't you stay?
sorrow won't protect you now
you've said just what you feel
if i can't have the best of you
than no one ever will
on any other starry night
the sight of you would make it right
the slightest wind would help me breathe
and everything would spin
maybe this time, baby you will be mine
and anything that you say while we sway
baby, won't you stay?
baby, please stay
baby, won't you stay?
10.You Are The Radio (I Am Your Song)
wishing you well from afar
the safest place by a mile
sleeping inside, biding my time
while you find what's greener
wishing you well from afar, there you are
only a better man than you are
could play this one cleaner
you are the radio and i am your song
please, please do not carry on
my breath is held for your sign
breathing a sigh, watching her cry
while you try to feel her
wishing you well from afar, there you are
only a better man than you are
could play this one cleaner
you are the radio and i am your song
only a better man than you are
would know i'm what's greener
you are the radio and i am your song
this place is not where we start
and those words are not who we are
careful to be what they all say
and knowing it's sweeter
wishing you well from afar, here we are
only a better man than you are
could play this one cleaner
you are the radio and i am your song
only a better man than you are
would know i'm what's greener
you are the radio and i am your song
11.Make Me Stop
please wait until it's dark, you won't last
if every time you fell down i wouldn't laugh
it's never a good time to talk to you
but i won't let up
if you'd had enough
you'd do anything to make me stop
if you feel like waking upI'll go anywhere, but we should start
we should start
took every part of me from my mouth
so thoughtful of feelings you don't allow
it's never a good time to talk to you
but i won't let up
if you'd had enough
you'd do anything to make me stop
if you feel like waking upI'll go anywhere, but we should start
we should start
if you'd had enough
you'd do anything to make me stop
when you feel like waking up
we'll go everywhere, but we should star
