1. The Takedown

I feel things changing when I moveIt's a distance, it's a differenceAcross this planet without youAnd you might call this a downfallIt's one long night that I'm passing throughIt's a dark one what have I doneIt's one long night

Don't turn your back on me nowYou can't do thisAnd don't say you can live withoutYou can't do this aloneHow did I end up like this the (lonely, broken, chosen) oneYour greatest takedownYou take me down

Left last night with a long goodbyeWith some red wine through a phone lineTold you thoughts that multiplyThat I don't know how to let goWe've been here many times beforeI am empty when you leave meWhat's one more

I won't get by I won't heal in timeI won't get by

2. Fighting

Said I'd move on and I'd leave it aloneBut before I walk out there is something that I need you to knowI got lost in the blink of an eye and I could never get back no I never got backYou were not there when I wanted to sayYou were everything right and it wasn't you but me that changedNow I've got to go it alone but I will never give upNo I'll never give up

What am I fighting for there must be something moreFor all these words I sing do you feel anything

Said I'm ok but I know how to lieYou were all that I had you were delicate and hard to findGot lost in the back of my mind and I could never get back No I never got backYou were not there when I needed to sayI hit the bottom so fast that my head was spinning around for daysNow I've got to go it alone but I will never give upNo I'll never give up

Said that I'd fight for the one that I foundI'm gonna stay here while I wait for you to come aroundI fight you're a part of me now and I will never give up no I'll never give up

3. Shrink the World

If I could then I'dShrink the world tonightSo that I would findYou and me inside

A life in love a picture of a place I'm nowhere nearA bleeding heart a good head start to anywhere but hereJust let me out please let me out before I turn intoA box of things reminding me how much I'm missing youI am missing you

If I could then I'dShrink the world tonightSo that I would findYou and me insideOf the last good sceneA film that changes thingsBreaks us makes us singLeaves us wondering

And through the wall my fist you call but then you always runSo what's it for the love and war its only fair for someYou save the girl you save the world well that's not true it seemsA lesson learned speak out of turn I bite my tongue it bleedsBite my tongue it bleeds

4. Keeper

I want to love I want to leaveI want you to love me I want you to leave meI want to stand where I can seeI'm watching you love me I'm watching you leaving me now

I wish I could be somebody elseWish I could see you in myselfWish there was something inside me to keep you beside meSay what you really feelYou know I need something that's realWish there was something inside me to keep you beside me

I want to know if I could beSomeone to turn to that could never hurt youBut I know what you think of meYou had a break through and now I'm just bad news for you

I should have told you everythingI never gave you anythingI should have told you everythingIf I could give you anythingThen I would tell you everything

5. Light Up the Sky

You're making a choice to live like thisIn all of the noise I am silenceWe already know how it ends tonightYou run in the dark through a firefightI would explode just to save your lifeI would explode

Let me light up the skyLight it up for youLet me tell you whyI would die for youLet me light up the sky

I can't find a wall to pin this toThey're all coming down since I found youI just want to be where you are tonightI run in the dark looking for some lightHow will we know if we just don't tryWe won't ever know

Let me light up the skyLight it up for youLet me tell you whyI would die for youLet me light up the skyLight it up for youLet me make this mineI'll ignite for you

Let me light up the sky just for you tonightLet me help you fly you won't have timeTo cover your eyes or get your disguiseThey won't ask you why they'll just watch you dieAnd it's still so hard to be who you areSo you play this part and the show goes onBut you've come this far with a broken heartYou've come this far and you're broken

6. Shadows and Regrets

I'm back, back in townAnd everything has changedI feel, feel let downThe faces stay the sameI see, see shadowsOf who we used to beWhen I drive, drive so slowThrough this memory

When we were only kidsAnd we were best of friendsAnd we hoped for the bestAnd let go of the rest

I heard, heard myselfSay things I'd take backIf I could, could retellAnd make these stories lastI see, see shadowsOf who we'll always beWhen I drive, drive these roadsThat made our memories

When we were only kidsAnd we were best of friendsAnd we hoped for the best

And let go of the restThe shadows and regretsWe let go of the rest

Everything has changedThe faces stay the same

We were only kidsAnd our time couldn't endAnd how tall did we stand With the world in our handsWe were only kidsAnd we were best of friendsAnd we hoped for he bestAnd let go of the restThe shadows and regretsWe let go of the restThe shadows and regrets We let go of the rest

7. Five Becomes Four

Needed some time so I could findA little strength to redefineWhat I have done what I've becomeI never asked to be the one

I'm riding it out this storm that you brought inBringing it down on me around for you I go againIts got to be easy to seeWhat everyone takes out of meKnocking me down dragging me outHow did you end up in that crowd

Did you run away did you fall apartDo you see yourself for what you areWill you be looking for it anymore When five becomes fourWhen you're all alone with a melodyDo you close your eyes and think of meWill you still hear me singing anymoreWhen five becomes four

Try and put aside your history and prideMaybe for one moment in time we'll all be on your sideThe story goes nobody knowsWhat it was like when you would throwSomeone who cared out in the airThen let them crash down anywhere

Remember the line never say dieYou are the reason I survivedWhere did you go I need to knowI waited here you never showedIts gonna be harder for me I can't forgive so many thingsWhen you were down I was aroundWhy would you try and hurt me now just tell me why

8. Afraid

Lie in this empty bedWith this aching headYou left me here this morning now I can't rememberWhy I let you in againTo get under my skinAnd every time you disappear then I remember

I look for you but I can't see your faceThen I hear you the only thing you say

I am afraid right nowDon't want to let you downI am the one who can't be savedThe only thing I sayI am afraid right nowWhat if I can't get outWhat if I don't want to be savedThis is me afraid

Now there's no place like homeTo make me feel aloneI see you everywhere I am and I rememberHow you ran out to hideBut kept me close behindFollowing your every move so I'd remember

(I look for you) but I can't see your face(Then I hear you) the only thing you say Is don't look for me you will never seeAnd you won’t hear me you won’t hear me

Why do we keep this upWhy do we live like usWhen there is nothing left to saveWill you be afraid

I am afraid right nowYou already let me down You are the one who can't be savedIf only I could sayI am afraid right nowYou never will get outYou'll never let yourself be savedYou are so afraid

9. Date Line (I Am Gone)

This was just a matter ofMe getting what I neededTil I was safe upon the other sideOf the International Date LineIt was just a matter ofMe keeping myself seatedTil the pilot killed the overdriveLanded in a place where you can'tFind me thereFind me there

When you hold one chanceAnd you break your handsWhen the secret's safe And you call my name Then I am gone

I'm tired of you and meAnd the space that's in betweenAnd I would rather be somewhereWith better thoughts and warmer airI'm tired of trying to be Somebody different than meTired of trying to shine it onWhen the lights go out tonight I'm gone I willRun from hereRun

When you hold one chanceAnd you break your handsWhen the secret's safe And you call my name When the hurt gets realAnd you still can't feelWhen you can't escapeAnd you cannot stayThen I am gone

Safe upon the other side of the International Date LineI landed in a place that you can't findYou can't find me thereFind me there

When the last plane leavesAnd you cry for meWhen you lie awakeAnd you feel it break Then I am gone

10. Dear Bobbie*

Dear Bobbie, Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do.I remember pleated skirts, black and white saddle shoes.Do you remember dancing half the night? I do. I still thinkof you when we dance although we can't jitterbug as we did then.

Do you remember when How long has it been1945 You opened my blue eyesTo see a whole new lifeDo you remember whenI told you this that nightThat if you're by my sideWhen every day beginsI'll fall for you againI made a promise whenI told you this that night

I'll be fineWhen I die then I die loving youIt's alrightI'll be fineWhen I die then I die loving you

Do you remember the times we would give up on each otherthen get back together? We finally was married in 1949.We drove the yellow convertible on our honeymoon.Do you remember? I do.

Life has led us hereTogether all these yearsThis house that we have madeHolds 20,000 daysThe memories we've savedSince life has led us here

I'm coming home to youSlipping off my shoesResting in my chairI see you standing thereThe silver in your hairI'm coming home to youWhen I lay tonightWhen I close my eyesI know the sun will riseHere or the next lifeAs long as you're still mineThen it's alright

You have grey hair now but you are a beautiful womanand the years have been good to both of us. We walk slownow but we still have each other. The glue of love is stillbonding us together. Love is what I remember.Do you remember?

11. You and Me and One SpotlightIt won't be long nowThe music's on loudWe'll sing this song outAnd then we'll lie downI'll hold you close thenAnd let you know whenThe space and time bendAnd then we'll fall inGo put on your best tonightIt's you and me and one spotlightOne more show one last timeWe are readySay you will be all around meWhen your body sets your heart freeSay you will be all around meI'll look for your eyesTo keep me insideWhen everything dies With one last sunriseAnd when we stand thereTogether not scaredI'll dry your last tearAnd then we're just air

Go put on your best tonightIt's you and me and not much timeTo watch the world burning brightWe are ready

Say you will be all around meWhen your body sets your heart freeSay you will be all around meSay you'll get me through the endingTake my body set my heart freeSay you'll get me through the ending

Go put on your best tonightIt's you and me and one spotlightOne more show one last time

12. Cut Me, Mick

I can't keep this together And I might lose this yearCan't get through DecemberAnd you know all my fearsSome place somewhere behind meI Walked right through the truthTruth is that you're the one thingThat always pulls me throughThis troubled life I choose

You are the one that I needYou know that I can still bleedBring me back to lifeBring me back to lifeYou bring me down from my cloud

You keep my feet on the groundBring me back to lifeBring me back to life

When I thought that I mightBe invincibleWasn't long before I Was invisibleTo your eyes and I swearThere's nothing left in hereThe more you say you don't careThe more I know you're there

Can't keep this together(You are the one that I need)Can't stay sick forever(You know that I can still bleed)Can't stop this disaster(You bring me down from my cloud)Can't fall any fasterYou are the one that I needYou know that I can still bleedBring me back to lifeBring me back to life

You are the one that I needYou know that I can still bleedYou bring me down from my cloudYou keep my feet on the ground

13. Paper Walls

Let's burn a hole so we can climb outOf these paper walls in this empty houseWhere the only thing that's realIs visions we have of ten years agoOf stars in the sky and us down belowWith streets and east coast linesWe kept this scene alive

Here I am I still hold on to thisDream we had I won't let go of itHear me now you will never be alone

Don't listen too close their words are like gunsWith bullets that fly and kill what you've wonSome love to hate and some tell you liesSo let's make a toast and kiss them goodbyeWe'll kiss them all goodbye

Here I am I still hold on to thisDream we had I won't let go of itHear me now you will never be aloneHere I stand won't turn back againWon't leave you know how hard it's beenHear me now you will never be alone

Let's take what hurts and write it all downOn these paper walls in this empty houseAnd when our ink runs outWe'll burn it to the ground

Here I am I still hold on to thisDream we had I won't let go of itHear me now you will never be aloneHere I stand won’t turn back againWont leave you know how hard it's beenHear me now you will never be alone
