The bone and drum of what we're from is sounding out, under the hum Through a web of noise, dislocation and toys An endless empty traded for a little instant joy Now, the age of mystery is a withering fire And this "too much of everything" is getting tired Blow on all the embers, while there are still tales to tell and break the spell! Set torches to remind...The glowing colors, left behind Before we ride in blind and hypnotized What do we do if we want it back? The life before these thing we have with time for a friend, together again What do we do if we want it back? We've gotta break the spell. We've gotta raise the flag We've gotta take it to the tower Walk out hand in hand...I will, if you...

Western Glow 02:45
Crystal ball, no crystal ball No telling what to do? You're taking chances but there's a chance it's gonna come to you The Western Glow Sun and gold Those starry eyes won't find... a place that no one's seen or answers in the leaves No empty chest can keep a pure heart blue If you chase "cool", it's gonna outrun you The Western Glow Sun and gold Those starry eyes might find a night I won't let you down I would'nt let you down
3.
Hunted 02:31
It's summer in the city at night Window's open to the air outside Strange faces on the street Electric lights flicker and feed the scene Ear to the rail to find some kind of magic tonight And I'd dance with anyone I'm ready to be hunted by love Hunted I'd dance with anyone I'll spin so fast, feel like I'm drunk And I'd dance with anyone I'm ready to be hunted by love Hunted
4.
All of our pieces seem to be scattered on screens, too much space in between a diaspora of being If we could just remember, then We could find ourselves again Even if it only stems the tide In this modern desert I just miss being together I want connection We're all so far away Under an avalanche of future and past, all your photographs, all your well made plans If we could just remember, then We could find ourselves again I guess that we're all wishing for a feeling that's been missing I want connection We're all so far away

Calico 02:51
Listen when your body tells you not to go again This isn't something ordinary. Listen to your friends You are amazing when you know There isn't far to go You're running on. You're running out. You're old enough to know It's strange to know, Calico Shapes of change, rearrange Explaining's not a part of letting go You're on again and cornered by what's on the other end And Sarah says you're spending all your time Chasing your own ghost and writing notes you'll never show At least you're never foolin Well, it's good enough to know It's strange to know, Calico Shapes of change, rearrange Explaining's not a part of letting go The meantime fades to too late And how much can a body really take?

Closer Than 03:00
You're messing up the game That isn't how it's played You're supposed to look away when I can't look away So, now your ocean eyes are pulling me right down I swear, I'd go anywhere with you It feels like I never fell, under anybody's spell I need you closer than you are I need you closer You said you liked my bag I bought it for a friend But some things stick around Some things never do I'm hoping that you're glue 'Cause I know I wanna hold the secret I've been shown Whatever happens in the end Whatever meaning comes from it I need you closer than you are I need you closer
7.
I wish I was born before we ever knew the meaning of seasons, the sun and the moon I could've wrapped myself in magic and promised it to you But we get stuck in the plus and minus and our triumphs and hardships come to define us But it's moments like these, moments in between that make living sweet I'd be as happy as a cat in a window, to drag it out this way Where does all the time go?
8.
Yard 03:59
Sandra, sun in your eyes waiting to follow the signs Sandra, sun in your eyes waiting for me outside When you run away and go back to your tree... Am I in your dreams, in your drey, when you sleep? I'm waiting for you now I'm hoping you're around Much more than anything... Honest, I just wanna be your friend Before you ever wander far You know the corners of your yard Now, if there's love....There's never enough And I feel the world turn There's nothing that kills me more than time, running out, when I'm running down I waited for you long Rain came falling down Six days and not a sign I just need to know that you're alright Before you ever wandered far You knew the corners of your yard And there was love There was always enough
9.
Gift 01:10
Like a piece of shale that's loose and crumbles down You can't find your footing or your mother's crown You're a shell, the sea is wearing down Losing edge, with every tumble 'round The path is slippery and the water's high So, slide Give in to the power of the sea There's a light in the southern sky Now, go and find out if it's warm inside
10.
From the doors and windows out Through the streets and far from town The need to move, the need to run The walls can't hold me for too long There are more colors than there's time More things to feel that you can find Of all the galaxies and stars....This is where we are Of all the particles and charge that make who we are If there's a chance to take, we can't hesitate Even if it all means nothing...How you're gonna feel means something Seduced by the past, longed for the cast and drunk with the notion that anything lasts I'm not in control of much anymore I'm not so in touch, like I was before I know. That's how the story goes Even so, I'd have to say...I'd rather break the mold Let it sink in, without thinking If love's so rare, let's just give it all So, if there's a chance to take, we won't hesitate All good things in time they say, as if it's fated I've seen that film. I know how it ends I'm not waiting Even if it all means nothing...How you're gonna feel means something
11.
Lights 02:00
Forever in a night It's like we've frozen time Stars, like city lights, reflected in your eyes We'll bring it back to love. We'll make it pure again to where we started from We'll remember this forever The meantime fades into too late But I see your smiling eyes and I can't wait Forever in a night The hands of time are tied Stars, like city lights, reflected in your eyes It's never like the films. It's never so surreal. Like a flash mark in my eyes, still ringing in my mind We'll remember this forever
12.
Parked cars and the rows of bars A scratched arm and an unwound heart I see the words written in your eyes I need to let you know I know before we say goodnight Light a candle. Pour the wine. I don't mind Change has come and gone again That's alright Through the bars we could see the stars like a car crash, slowed, so just light shows, like when it's When it's quiet in my mind I lose the crowd but I see your eyes And you said something weird, something I'll never forget You said "I need to burn this in my mind before we say goodnight" Nothing stays like it ever was. Try and hold it I wish you'd find me but you never do You just fade slowly Old letters and loose photographs Like any thought you ever thought, you think you are It's in the stars. You are. You are one and all Someday is the oldest song Someday, we all singalong
13.
Curtains 03:23
You wander in, through waking dreams bridging time and broken seams Where many feet have walked before Down ancient halls and corridors Like morning springs, I hear you sing And all my birds take flights upon your words of love Words you know, words you've never spoke before But somehow knew would come to you Like mothering or breathing It's just you This, now is like a photograph I'll wanna put myself inside, back in time, here with you I saw you drenched in morning light All warm across your mother's eyes I knew it then. I know it now I know you as the child you left behind Your eyes, a different time, a window to an ancient line of lives that came and then became Ashes from the fire of time And we're in line but I hold now in my tiny palm with you As we lie, I'll let now be a harbor light and try Not to be swallowed by thoughts of scale and time 'Cause I know curtains come along
14.
I can still see you now, stuck in the golden hour Where everything, somehow, seems warm and figured out under an orange sun The things I said under those trees with apples tripping on our feet It's everything I tried to be It's what I wanted to believe, breathing the golden hour Moments stain before they fade Light through leaves, dancing on your face Your precious grin The colors and the way the shadows played I always remember you that way If I laid down and closed my eyes, breathed in the colors of my life Through all the swirly lines of time, people and places in my mind I'd find the orange warm of now, so I could be with you somehow Back in the golden hour Moments stain before they fade Points in time, burned in mind The film still plays The colors and the way the shadows played I remember you that way
15.
Summer's stain on your arm and your mark on her heart And the waves, kissing you both on the legs, over and over again All the hours that flowed like sand through your toes and her smile, echoing on in your eyes Pamela, lost in the sky In the ocean of time, you're just part of the tide So, how lucky am I, to wash up by your side? There's never a point to ask why Suspended in time, burned in my mind and my eyes Breathing and moving as one Like everything under the sun In the ocean of time, you're just part of the tide So, how lucky am I, to wash up by your side? Pamela, lost in the sky When you close your eyes to conjure a time You'll be with Pamela, lost in the sky Felling the kiss of the tide Over and over again
16.
Anna's looking through the window at the trees Watching branches sway and tremble in the breeze Shapes of sunlight drift and dance around the room She can't be captured, light like lives that pass right through Sometimes it feels like the magic's real And I don't wanna wake up from the dream head on chest, the gentle drum of rain outside I'll remember this the rest of my life Sometimes it feels like the magic's real I can't draw a line and stay inside Love's as good as gold I've always known If it's in the leaves, it echoes through the trees You're never far away
17.
Long, long is the night Until the day it comes, I catch up with my worried mind Scare me, don't curse me It's better than it could be Scare me, don't curse me Long, long is the day You find a shady place and wait for night to have its way When there's nothing left to do Scare me, don't curse me It's better than it could be Scare me, don't curse me Long is the night Long is the day
18.
Still falling Breathless and on again Inside me today Beside me today Around and broken in two til my eyes shed, turning into dust Like two strangers, turning into dust I could feel my hands shake with the weight of fear I could possibly be fading or have something more to give I could feel myself growing colder I could feel myself under your fate It was you, reckless and torn It was you, restless and worn I could feel myself turning into dust Like two strangers, turning into dust Still falling Breathless and on again Inside me today Beside me today I could feel myself growing colder I could feel myself falling I could feel myself turning into dust
19.
It's summer in the city at night Window's open to the air outside Strange faces on the street Electric lights flicker and feed the scene Ear to the rail to find some kind of magic tonight And I'd dance with anyone I'm ready to be hunted by love Haunted I'd dance with anyone I'll spin so fast, feel like I'm drunk And I'd dance with anyone I'm ready to be hunted by love Haunted
