Breathing Again
03:42
|
|
||
I could feel it in my bones
I was breaking inside
I decided long ago
Not to lay down and die
Breathing Again
For the first time in a long time now
The world didn’t end
And I recovered so much stronger
We are all fragile things
Broken wings meant to fly
And I would rather fall again
Than sit around wondering why
Breathing Again
For the first time in a long time now
The world didn’t end
And I recovered so much stronger
And I know my best days are still in front of me
And as I go on I will remember to breathe
Breathing Again
For the first time in a long time now
The world didn’t end
And I recovered so much stronger than I began
Breathing Again
Breathing Again

Rewind
03:45
|
|
||
Summer rain massacred the sky
Seemed to fall just for you and I
I needed you
You needed me too
If I could just rewind back to one day
And do it one more time
I would say
I would choose the one that ends with you
I would choose the one that ends with you
Here we are just the two of us
Years between have been glorious
You needed me
I needed you more
If I could just rewind back to one day
And do it one more time
I would say
I would choose the one that ends with you
I would choose the one that ends with you
No matter where you are
Nothing will divide us or tear us apart
No matter where you go
We always have the moments only we could know
If I could just rewind
And do it one more time I would say
I would choose the one that ends with you
I would choose the one that ends with you
I would choose to spend my life with you

It’s a crazy world
It can drag you down
It can show you beautiful things
I can promise you
I’ve been to hell and back
And I would do it all again
Where do you belong?
When everything goes wrong?
When the walls come crashing down
And no one is around
It’s you and me at the end of the world
Never let the fear
Overwhelm your bones
The world is waiting for you
Where do you belong?
When everything goes wrong?
When the walls come crashing down
And pin you to the ground
It’s you and me at the end of the world
Where do you belong?
When everything goes wrong?
When the walls come crashing down
You’ll be safe and sound
It’s you and me at the end of the world
It’s you and me at the end of the world
It’s you and me at the end of the world

Brand New America
03:20
|
|
||
Angry and afraid
We all feel betrayed
Hanging on to hope
But it’s such a short rope
And it’s a long way down from here
Broken in two
Is there anything we can do?
It’s a Brand New America
Home of the brave
Is there anything we can save?
It’s a Brand New America
Such a great divide
One more perfect lie
Fire in the street
At revolution’s feet
You can feel it in the air
Broken in two
Is there anything we can do?
It’s a Brand New America
Home of the brave
Is there anything we can save?
It’s a Brand New America
Broken in two
Is there anything we can do?
It’s a Brand New America
Home of the brave
Is there anything we can save?
It’s a Brand New America
It’s a Brand New America
It’s a Brand New America

The Attic
03:00
|
|
||
In the attic of my heart
I found a little box
Damn thing was locked
So I searched around my soul
Didn’t find much there
Damn thing was bear
When the water starts to rise
Hold your breath and I’ll hold mine
It won’t matter if we survive
We all gotta go some time
In the dark I hear a scream
Wonder who it could be
Sounds a lot like me
And I am trading in my blue skies
For so much more
When the water starts to rise
Hold your breath and I’ll hold mine
It won’t matter if we survive
We all gotta go some time
When the water starts to rise
Hold your breath and I’ll hold mine
It won’t matter if we survive
We all gotta go some time
We all gotta go some time
We all gotta go some time
From the ashes of a dream

Accidentally Beautiful
03:42
|
|
||
A thousand burning suns
Could not compare to you
Imagination shines
Even when you don’t mean to
Accidentally Beautiful and such a perfect mess
Sunshine inside a filthy dress
A wonderful catastrophe
You know I must confess
I am sure that you couldn’t care less
I wanted you to know
Even when I’m gone
I’m still here with you
And that is where I belong
Accidentally Beautiful and such a perfect mess
Sunshine inside a filthy dress
A wonderful catastrophe
You know I must confess
I am sure that you couldn’t care less
Accidentally Beautiful and such a perfect mess
Sunshine inside a filthy dress
A wonderful catastrophe
You know I must confess
I am sure that you couldn’t care less
Accidentally Beautiful
Accidentally Beautiful
Accidentally Beautiful

My Sweet Madman
03:18
|
|
||
I come around
And then I see you in this old town
And when we meet
I’m not sure you recognize me
It has been so long my old friend
I bet the birds all adored you back in the day
When you were young
And the music always played
It has been so long my old friend
And I will be waiting now til the end
And I will be there when you fall
I will be there when you fall
My sweet madman
It has been so long my old friend
And I will be waiting now til the end
And I will be there when you fall
I will be there when you fall
My sweet madman
My sweet madman
My sweet madman

Dangerous Thing
03:21
|
|||
There’s no doubt you’re beautiful
Like you were born from another world
But beauty has burned me before
That’s not to say it wasn’t fun
And I think maybe I could fall for you
But listen to me when I say
My love won’t wait for you
My love is a Dangerous Thing
I’ll take your breath away
You could surrender to me now
But I’m not sure I see the sport in that
And maybe it’s all in my head
My love won’t wait for you
My love is a Dangerous Thing
I’ll take your breath away
My love won’t wait for you
My love is a Dangerous Thing
My love won’t wait for you
My love is a Dangerous Thing
I’ll take your breath away
I’ll take your breath away

Suddenly
03:15
|
|||
I was just minding my own business
Nothing unique about this night
Walking through open fields of circumstance alone
Then I saw the light
Suddenly something’s got a hold of me
Something’s got control of me
Something beautiful
Suddenly I am lifted off the ground
And if I am lost and found
Would I want to be saved?
It seems I got my back against the wall
Not sure there’s much that I can do
I could just try to make a getaway
But I don’t know if I want to
Suddenly something’s got a hold of me
Something’s got control of me
Something beautiful
Suddenly I am lifted off the ground
And if I am lost and found
Would I want to be saved?
I was just minding my own business
Suddenly something’s got a hold of me
Something’s got control of me
Something beautiful
Suddenly I am lifted off the ground
And if I am lost and found
Would I want to be saved?
Suddenly

Shiny Disaster
03:47
|
|||
I got this feeling
And I don’t know if I’m ever gonna fall in love again, again
You should be leaving
You’re a shiny disaster a lonely machine gun girl, oh yeah
And I don’t mind wasting all your time
You’ve already wasted mine
Don’t come one more step closer
You’re a shiny disaster
You little devil
You showed me a new way to feel now all I feel is pain
Cry me a river
You’ve outstayed your welcome
Now go back just the way you came
And I don’t mind wasting all your time
You’ve already wasted mine
Don’t come one more step closer
You’re a shiny disaster
Crazy what I put myself through
Just to try and make it with you
Some say love will find a way
And I say it can find someone new
And I don’t mind wasting all your time
You’ve already wasted mine
Don’t come one more step closer
And I don’t mind wasting all your time
You’ve already wasted mine
Don’t come one more step closer
You’re a shiny disaster

The Minerva Situation
04:23
|
|||
Into the dark
And out of the light
I am so far from home
I know it’s hard
But you have to try
It is OK to let go
This is my last goodbye
See you on the other side
Wonder where we go from here?
Wonder where we go from here?
To all of my friends
Wherever you are
I want to wish you well
If we meet again
Up in the stars
Have I got a story to tell
This is my last goodbye
See you on the other side
Wonder where we go from here?
Wonder where we go from here?
Disappear?
Falling
I’m falling
I’m far beyond this world
Falling
I’m falling
The last thing on my mind was you
This is my last goodbye
See you on the other side
Wonder where we go from here?
