1.When Your on Top
I need a bed
That nobody's slept in
I need some air
Nobody's been breathing
I need a thought
That I can believe in
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning
I need you now
Much more than ever
I'm making new friends
But none of them matter
Maybe now
We don't fit together
But you've got your arms around
No one but strangers
I feel fine with the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When I'm falling out of this sky
I'm doing better than I thought I would
But nothing's ever as good
As when you're on top
I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no one's been gettin'
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whose price hasn't been met
When everybody's disappearing
By the minute
There isn't anyone left
I haven't met yet
Well I remember
When they hadn't gotten to you yet
I feel fine with the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When I'm falling out of this sky
I'm doing better than I thought I would
But nothing's ever as good
As when you're on top
Half way up
And over this rainbow
I heard a shot
Fire up from the ghetto
As I drop
I didn't think you'd follow
Just didn't know
The sky was this shallow
I need a garden
Where nothing's forbidden
I need an apple
That no one's been eatin'
I want to start again
Back at the beginnin'
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending
2.How Good It Can Get
Slow down
You're braking up
Use our words
Don't yell so much
I don't understand a word
That you're saying
Now move in
Come up close
You look like
You've maybe seen a ghost
Tell me
Has someone gotten to you baby
Now open your arms
Pick up your head
Open your eyes
So you can see
What happens next
You won't believe
Just how good it can get
We'll make a lover
Out of you yet
The fog is so thick
I can't see my hands
It got much worse
Soon as I got in
And I know you're somewhere
Here in the water
It's ten feet deep
And the river won't stop
I'll tell you what's in it
When I make it across
You could make it too
If you let someone help you
But you gotta give in
And you gotta let go
Then you can begin
To come up slow
Like a desert rose
You won't believe
Just how good it can get
We'll make a lover
Out of you yet
Take a deep breath
And hold it in tight
And put your face up
Right into the light
Can't you feel that full moon
Shining down on you
Help is coming
From the great unknown
Just maybe not
When you needed it most
'Cause I can see you already
Know that you're leaving
But I wish you'd stay
And just let me in
'Cause everything can change
But you gotta be ready
'Cause you won't know when
You won't believe
Just how good it can get
We'll make a lover
Out of you yet
3.Closer To You
How soft a whisper can get
When you're walking through a
crowded space
I hear every word being said
And I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
How long an hur can take
When you're staring into open
space
When I feel I'm slipping further
away
I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
These are the days
That I won't get back
I won't hear you cry
Or hear you laugh
And when it's quiet
And I don't hear a thing
I can always hear you breathe
You know there's nowhere else
I've wanted to be
Than be there when you needed me
I'm sorry too
But don't give up on me
And just remember that when you
were asleep
I got a little bit closer to you
4.Everybody Out of the Water
On your mark
Get set let's go
You got to move now
Before she explodes
Look out the window
Look out below
Back away from the glass
There she blows
The city's been leveled
Hills are in flames
Streets cracked open
And they're pushin' up clay
Temperature's dropped
Sky is grey
And it ain't even over
Here comes divin' rain
It ain't me
That you feel
There's something moving
Around in here
That's blood
That's tears
This ain't a warning...
Everybody out of the water
Up on dry land
Take what you can
'Cause you won't be here again
Everybody out of the water
Now I'm treadin' high water
To get back to you
Been looking for a low spot
Or something to cling to
There's too many bodies
There's not enough room
God help me
And God help you
They say nobody panic
Help is on it's way
We're already on it
You've got to be brave
If you can fix it now
Then don't make us wait
Man there ain't nobody coming
Back away from the gates
That bell
That you hear
That's hell
Ringing in your ears
I fear
That my dear
This ain't a warning...
Everybody out of the water
Up on dry land
Take what you can
'Cause you won't be here again
Everybody out of the water
Now I'm looking up
And the shit keeps coming
Like shooting ducks
In a barrel of honey
Got to learn how to pray
Love won't be enough
Admit it now
Your information sucks
As I slip
Down in
I think of us someplace
High on a mountain
Smoke clears
Fog lifts
Little by little
We rebuild again
'Til then...
Everybody out of the water
Up on dry land
Take what you can
'Cause you won't be here again
Everybody out of the water
5.Three Ways
There's three ways out of every box
Fall out the bottom
Or you crawl out the top
There's three ways
Out of every, every box
But if you can't find your way out
Then you just burn it
To the ground
Then you'll disappear
Like smoke
Into the clouds
There's three ways off a merry-go-round
You either jump
Or you let it slow down
There's three ways
Off a merry-go, merry-go round
But if you can't put your foot down
Then you just burn it
To the ground
Then you walk away
Real slow
Back into the crowd
There's always somebody there for a laugh
Then you're the only one
That's left
Now that's what you get
Left behind in the wreck
There's three ways off a burning bridge
You pray for rain
Or you learn how to swim
There's three ways off of every
Burning bridge
But if you can't find strength
And you quit
Then you can just burn up
And sink
Then you'll drift away
Real slow
Down into the ground
6.Too Late to Quit
Takes all my might
To find a hole that feels right
To bury myself
In a deep sleep at night
I hear a voice
Coming from the hillside
Says I'll show you the way
I will show you the light
But I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm much too tired
I'm tired
He says I know where you were headed
And you're half way there
But you've got to be careful
You've got to beware
Some people want to hurt you
Some people don't care
But I'm never going give you
Any more than you can bear
But I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm much too tired
I'm tired
There's nothing left here to rise above
We're not talking 'bout that kind of love
You've got people here counting on you
Now's a good time
To learn how to pull through
Sometimes a good idea
Just isn't enough
You've got to do the work
Now get your ass up
There isn't really such a thing as bad luck
Yeah, but once I shot an arrow
In the sky and it stuck
But I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm much too tired
I'm tired
You've got to keep movin'
You've got to keep pushin'
You're never gonna get back
Any more than you're givin'
Life is for the living
You've got to be willin'
A song ain't a song
Until someone starts singin'
But I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm much too tired
I'm tired
7.If You Never Got Sick
That ain't a parachute
That ain't a rip cord
That ain't a body of water
We're headed for
There's so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are gonna need someone
That ain't a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Coming in from the lake
Getting in to your eyes
It's the invisible breathe
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arise
Now I may not be quick
Maybe never was
But tell me what the hell it is
That you've become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
This ain't a rightous love
Even a good one
These ain't the kinds of returns
That I was thinking of
I'm unbearable now
You ain't seen nothing yet
You'll see me dead
Before you see me quit
That ain't a jug of wine
That you've been drinking from
Now lay back now baby
Let your fever come
I will bury you in
Just to dig you out
I haven't a use
For being proud
Now the deeper the slide
The higher the rise
Don't be disappointed
How I'm using mine
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
I think I made a mistake
I think I pushed
When you said to wait
But I never get to hold you
I followed you deep into a barren field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep
That's when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
Now I always knew
There was God inside you
I just never did learn which one
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
8.Health And Hapiness
Maybe it's not
That I don't care anymore
Maybe I just never did
You can't say
That I have ever lied
Because I keep the truth well hid
Tell me what's wrong
Is something wrong？
You can't be sad
When something you have never had
Suddenly feels gone
I wish you health
I wish you happiness
But absolutely nothing else
I'm not here to keep an eye on you
I think you misunderstood
I could make things easy for you
I won't
But I could
Does that make you sad？
'Cause you look sad
You should be glad
For what you've had
And don't feel bad
I could wish less for you
I wish you health
I wish you happiness
But absolutely nothing else
There is no distance here
To get across
There's nothing to grip
Or get a hold of
The emptiness you feel
Is nothing at all
Now nobody broke any bones
It could be worse
Yeah it can get worse
You've got your strength
And you have got your health
You should be worried 'bout
Somebody else
I wish you health
I wish you happiness
But absolutely nothing else
9.See You When I Get There
I'm looking up
At the moving clouds
I've been hit so hard
This time
I just might stay down
If you were me
I would come back
To get you
If this is love
Then I don't remember
You won't find anyone
To treat you better
We've already been through
Hell and high waters
I ain't sorry baby
Don't think that
We ain't done anything
That I'd take back
Go on pretend
That you ain't changed
And don't worry 'bout me
I'll see you when I get there
I'm looking up
At the moving clouds
I've been down so long
But I still think you
Might come around
So I'm making plans
For when you feel better
You just might want
Someone more familiar
You won't find anyone
Else to take you back
Now sometimes you're an angel
But you're usually
A pain in the ass
I ain't sorry baby
Don't think that
We ain't done anything
That I'd take back
Go on pretend
That you ain't changed
And don't worry 'bout me
I'll see you when I get there
I need your love
Much more than I want it
You left me here
With another bad habit
Now you found paradise
And crawled to the shoreline
I saw a white flash
And then I saw the lids of my eyes
I ain't sorry baby
Don't think that
We ain't done anything
That I'd take back
Go on pretend
That you ain't changed
And don't worry 'bout me
I'll see you when I get there
10.Feels like Summer Again
My mind is open
And my heart is full
I ain't got any weight
That I can't pull
And right now
I know that anything
Is possible
I'm gonna bang my drum
Blow my horn
I forget what these pills
Were ever for
I believe
I won't need them anymore
I used to burn candles
At both ends
Now I just throw the whole damn thing
Right in
Now playing in traffic is easy
Once you learn
Where you get in
You wanna come with me
Then get on board
Get in or get out
Use either door
The future is calling
And it's me
That it's looking for
'Cause it feels like summer again
I was thinking that it just might never begin
After winter and spring
It's good to have the sun on my face again
I wear big boots
I know I do
I ain't envious
Of anybody's shoes
I wear 'em loose
Yeah, maybe that's
Why it bothers you
I'm building my ship
Stick by stick
And where the waters get rough
I'm getting in
The motion of the waves
It does not
Make me sick
'Cause it feels like summer again
I was thinking that it just might never begin
After winter and spring
It's good to have the sun on my face again
I buried my horse
In a shallow grave
I said a few things
I had champagne
That beast gave me everything
That nobody gave
I got high hopes
Tomorrow came
I won't look back
On anything
I just found out
That my bird
Can really sing...
'Cause it feels like summer again
I was thinking that it just might never begin
After winter and spring
It's good to have the sun on my face again
11.Everything I Need
I'm not looking
For a warm embrace
I'm not looking
For a friendly face
I've got
Everything I need
I'm not worried
If you're coming back
I'm in a hurry
'Cause I just found out
I've got
Everything I need
I've got everything I need
So even if you wanted to...
You can't save me
You can't fail me
I'm back up on my feet baby
On the way down
Is when I found out
That I got everything I need
I'm not looking
For a hand to hold
I'm not waitin'
For someone to show
I've got
Everything I need
I never found a wall
I couldn't climb
I've never seen a well
As deep as mine
I've got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted to...
You can't save me
You can't fail me
I'm back up on my feet baby
On the way down
Is when I found out
That I got everything I need
It doesn't matter
If I'm qualified
Or if I ever learn
To blow your mind
I've got
Everything I need
I'm not looking
For a place to shine
I woke up
And I'm satisfied
I've got
Everything I need
I've got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted to...
You can't save me
You can't fail me
I'm back up on my feet baby
On the way down
Is when I found out
That I got everything I need
I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby
12.Here In Pleasantville
If you could see yourself
The way that I do
You might change
A thing or two
You wouldn't look so angry
You'd know it doesn't
Look good on you
So grab your coat
Grab your hat
There ain't no saying
If we're coming back
'Cause something's gone
So terribly wrong
Here in Pleasantville
Do you remember
How we'd stay out so late
We used to have
So much fun
We used to wish that the morning sun
Just wouldn't ever come
But look at us now
We're tucked in tight
We're just praying for a little light
'Cause something's gone
So terribly wrong
Here in Pleasantville
I need to tell you now
As we leave
That it's much worse
Than you would believe
And no matter how far
you think you've been
The beginning
Is where you are
So I'm using my last match
To put a fire up on every hill
And burn down Pleasantville
We never did learn
How to use our voices
We never thought
That we'd be heard
The only way they'd ever listen
Is if we'd scream every word
Because there ain't nothing
In our walk
That just ain't the kind of
luck that we've got
So let's move on
'Cause something's gone
So terribly wrong
Here in Pleasantville
13.Empire In My Mind
There is trouble
In my mind
There is dark
There is dark
And there is light
Lay your hands
Over my eyes
As I look deep
Through valleys
Deep and wide
Across the border line
For the empire in my mind
You are the reason I don't sleep
You are a light
That's breaking through the leaves
You know how hard I try
To believe
I have something
Good inside
Over barricades I climb
For the the empire in my mind
I have known love
Somewhere in time
I've been lifted up
I've looked honor
IN the eyes
I have no reason
I have no rhyme
I cannot deny
There's a darkness
That's inside
I am guilty
By design
And now I realize
That temptation's
Made me blind
To the empire in my mind
There is no order
There is chaos
And there is crime
There is no one home tonight
In the empire in my mind
There is no distance
That I don't see
I do have a will
No limit to my reach
I wish I would
I wish I might
See a line tonight
Separating wrong from right
Some are only born to try
And maybe that's the reason why
I'm afraid someday I'll find
There is no empire in my mind
There is trouble in my mind
