1.Song for Someone
Lyricist:Robert P Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire, Doyle Odlum
Dryin' up in conversation, still
My head was halfway 'round the world
And workin' through the sleepin' hours
Driven by the promise of a quick return
And I wonder if she'll be the very same
And I wonder if she's gonna break the waves again
Tryin' just to focus on the good
I'm tired of divin' for the pearls
And every dawn is another morning less
I have to wait to wake beside that girl
And I hope she's gonna be the very same
And I hope she can survive this wave again
And if we're all for someone
And if we're born for someone
When will she come, that someone?
And put things in their place
Comin' back to see you girl
You know there's nothing surer in this world
Remember all the madden seasons
Back when we weren't old enough to wait our turn
And I hope we're gonna be the very same
And I hope we can survive this wave again
And if we're all for someone
And if we're born for someone
When will she come, that someone?
And put things in their place
2.Falling Slowly
Lyricist:Robert Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Marketa
Irglova, Colm Macconiomaire
I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'll paint it black
Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now
Why don't you come?
One, two, three, four
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along, along
Baby, why don't you come home?
3.People Get Ready
Lyricist:Paul Brennan, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
People all get ready
'Cause we're tearing down the stand
Rebuild what's gotten unsteady
And see it through with newer hands
What has gone between us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to clean us
When you're not, when you're not
And people all get ready
'Cause we're breaking down again
Rebuild what's gotten unsteady
And see it through with wiser hands
And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not
And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
People all get ready
'Cause we're breaking down the band
Rewrite what's gone already
And see it through with angry hands
And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not, oh
And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
Just look up, just look up
Just look up
And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
Just look up, just look up
People all get ready
'Cause we're coming to a stop
4.Rise
Lyricist:Robert Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
Breathing in the night
There's nothing else I'm needing now
The wind is at my side
And so are you
And together we will rise
With all these words and promises we couldn't keep
Together we will fly
Above it all now
But sometimes we will fall
From the night
But it shines on us tonight
And together we will rise
Together we will rise, we will rise
And surely it's a sign now
That everything's in tune to some kinda higher plan
Yeah, surely it's a sign
That you were right
And there's this secret line
That we've been denied, whoa
I'm crossing it tonight
And together we will rise, yeah
Together we will rise, we will rise
But sometimes we will fall
From the light, whoa
But it shines on us tonight
But together we will rise
Past this light
And we'll cross it here tonight
And together we will rise
Together we will rise, we will rise
5.Minds Made Up
So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then iâll come running
To fight, and iâll be at your door
When thereâs nothing worth running for,
When your mindâs made up
When your mindâs made up
Thereâs no point trying to change it
When your mindâs made up
When your mindâs made up
Thereâs no point trying to stop it
You see, youâre just like everyone
When the shit falls all you want to do is run, away
And hide all by yourself
When youâre far from me, thereâs nothing else
When your mindâs made up
When your mindâs made up
Thereâs no point trying to change it
When your mindâs made up
When your mindâs made up
Thereâs no point even talking
When your mindâs made up
When your mindâs made up
Thereâs no point trying to fight it
So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then iâll come running
6.Sad Songs
Lyricist:Robert Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
And the light you gave
You took when you were gone
It's a war that can't be won
With fists or talk or money
And there's no escape
But there's nothin' I want more
But I'd better stop complainin' now
I guess because
Too many sad words
Make for sad, sad song
Too many sad words
Make for sad, sad song
And the night you came
You won me, all and all
And the better part of everythin'
Is born to run
And the price of fame
Is that they love you when you're gone
But I better stop complainin' now
It's useless because
Too many sad words
Make for sad, sad song
Too many sad words
Make for sad, sad song
Too many sad words
Make a sad, sad song
Too many sad words
Make a sad, sad song
7.The Cost
Lyricist:Robert Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
Love has been the cause
Of all this suffering
And what has been our loss
Has been it's gaining
So lay your burdens down
And stop your crying
We'll let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
And low have been the odds
Of our reuniting
And where now can we turn
When we've got nothing
We'll let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
We'll let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
And maybe it'll turn
Us around
8.True
Lyricist:Robert Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
I find it so hard to be true
And all these lies I'm telling you
Are little anchors in my chest
That pull us down into this mess
I find it easy to distract
Just as soon as you turn your back
I'll be gone again
I find it so hard to be true
And all these secrets, I keep from you
Are like a blackness in my heart
That only tears us both apart
I find it easy to pretend
That we're not heading for our end
That's why I'm telling you
I built a wall, I cut you off
Now there's no lies that's gonna fix this up
I played the saint and a saint I ain't
Now all the hurt is here again, here again
I find it so hard to be true
But I'm gonna try my best for you
And every distance that we've known
Will disappear before too long
And every line we've ever drawn
Will be erased before we're gone
And this I swear to you
I built a wall, I cut you off
Now there's no lie that's gonna fix this hurt
I played the saint, I cursed your name
Now there's no one but myself to blame, that you're gone
Could I have put it this way
It's wishing only
To see it's never too late
I'm feeling it work for me
And every word that you say
I got my heart out for you
And only wish that you'd wait
Till I was waving away
I know that I may have you
There's no more fire left in me
I'm breaking down all the walls
You slowly built around me
Why do you ask for my trust
When you're not worthy of it
I find it hard to adjust
Till I get it from me
9.The Side You Never Get to See
Lyricist:Robert P Bochnik, Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
If you come, come alone
Please don't take anyone else
'Cause we're never alone
And tonight I want you for myself
Take it back, take it back
Those words that you never can help
And the side you'll never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you'll never get to reach
Is alive, is alive
Will you dance monkey dance?
Don't have me repeating myself
'Cause you came here by chance
And I'll knock you right down again
And the side you'll never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you'll never get to reach
Is alive, is alive
And the side you'll never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you'll never get to reach
Is alive, comes alive
10.Bad Bone
Lyricist:Robert P Bochnik, Joseph Doyle, Glen Hansard, Colm
Macconiomaire
There's a bad bone inside of me
All my troubles started there
And all the cracks are addin' up to be
A little more than you can bare
When I met you, you were bitter still
From a scar you're never gonna show
And I was cursed with a jealousy
That's killed every love I've ever known
And when the anger that you feel
Turns to poison in your soul
And then the scars you only feel
Will start to show
And you were naked on the balcony
And I was waitin' in your bed
You said I pleased you only partially
But I knew my hunger would be fed
And all, all my thoughts of goin' clear
And gettin' out before my time
I died with you upon a vine
I died with you upon a vine
To die with you upon a vine
To die
So if you'll lead the way
If you'll lead the way
Will you lead the way?
Will you lead the way?
There's a bad bone inside of me
