Here we go Hazy on a hot day Water bright At the shore Sitting with our thoughts but It’s all right And the trees Calm us and connect Sun peeks through Time to swim Never been more alive and Close to you It feels so right I’ll just sit still Remember this I always will A pity that each moment drifts away again Let’s be friends Walking home People from the side have A different way of living life It’s nothing to be afraid of Now I know, I will try To bring the colors back when The day is through But for now I’ll just have to memorize ‘em And be with you It feels so right I’ll just sit still Remember this I always will A pity that each moment drifts away again Let’s be friends Let’s continue as today comes to an end Let’s be open, fair, and always genuine Floating in a daydream, that’s the time Take a look around and clear my mind Anything you need here you can find Soak up what you can and let it shine Even when you think it’s time to go If you have a muffin, then you’ll know When I start to feel that it’s pretend I can always remember Let’s be friends

Why are you scared of alone So much to do When you’re not sleeping Silence is golden they say But you talk away It’s only human And I can let the hours fly And sometimes it’s well into the night That I notice I’ve been quiet all day But that’s cause I want it that way Too much time on the run Searching for fun You’ll never find it Here in a room by yourself You can find wealth And piece of mind if You learn to clear your head And realize instead of your friends It’s just you who can make your day But you'll never see it that way And after awhile What is a smile what’s a joke If it’s not even spoken aloud I’ll write it down Because I have to admit I just want to tell it to you I guess you’re the wise one, who knew?

Say And Mean 03:50
There’s better ways but they’re too hard I guess And how can you argue with success Just don’t include me in your mess Although I’m tempted I still believe the clock will set things straight And by then you’ll be too late But don’t blame your life on fate This was to be expected I know the secret doors That I live for Will only open if There’s no divide between Say and mean So just come clean Why don’t they realize Can they not see it in your eyes Years and years of these white lies Will change their color Just because you want to get ahead You will leave the truth unsaid But it’s you who are misled You’re just another I know the secret doors That I live for Will only open if There’s no divide between Say and mean So just come clean I know I won’t regret ‘Cause these words haven’t failed me yet But if just once I forget There’ll be no excuses So let’s stick to this it’s worked so far It doesn’t matter who you are Just tell the truth don’t play the card And you’ll never fall too hard

I’m shredding all the papers I’m fixing up the room I’m throwing all my pictures in the trash Nothing like starting anew Packed a bag with new belongings New passport new ID And for the first time in a hundred years I’ll be set free Forever finally I’ll still be me in a certain way Quietly a new identity Down the street from my new building ‘Cross the water from my past A face I haven’t seen in years Catches my eye and laughs I have to go Wish I could talk more, but you won’t understand Maybe I do recognize And it’s you, it’s you, of course it’s you But if you could just do one thing for me There’s a reason that I disappeared So pretend you never saw me There’s too much to explain right now but this has been forced on me, oh oh I could have walked away that day Now there’s not much I can do I know they’re getting closer all the time ‘Cause they sent you

We had just signed on and we knew that we could save the world We were on our way to the day that we’d be heroes I said my goodbyes, people didn’t understand Dried their eyes, wed see them in the promised land Sacrifice, we knew it was the end for them, oh oh oh On a journey away from home to find somewhere to call our own Prolong the race somewhere in space Cant say we didn’t try Kept our spirits high, but we knew that we had time to kill We believed in God and we knew that this was his will I looked at the time, twelve o’ clock since months ago Moving fast? With no light it’s hard to know Did what we could not to let our sinking feelings grow oh oh oh On a journey away from home the power’s blown and we’re alone We look around without a sound Can’t say we didn’t try Ooh ooh ooh ooh they said it’s compromise Ooh ooh ooh ooh did they know what we’d find? Ooh ooh ooh ooh and as the radio died Ooh ooh ooh ooh we knew that they had lied And they’ll find us light years away We’re on display frozen in space They’ll bring us back, through seas of black Can’t say we didn’t try, Cant say we didn’t try

We Will 04:36
Hold me now and you will hear The softest whisper in your ear So listen to each syllable I say Close your eyes, don’t be upset ‘Cause nothing bad has happened yet But you should know I’m moving far away All we know is right now nothing could be better But when I go, you’ll stay here And although, you think it lasts forever We’ll disappear Here we are, the sun is up A smile, a sigh, an empty cup And with a hug you turn and walk away Coincidence, or is it art? A road directly to the heart Was drafted and constructed in a day I’ll look once more to make sure I remember You’ll turn around and you’ll stand still We’ll meet again, some time in the future Somewhere, somehow, we will
