Away We Go 03:25
I need some kind of reaction I need a little compassion Passion too Maybe a night of romance Can I dance with you? I need some kind of connection I need divine intervention Mystic truth I see it on the horizon A sign breaks through Yeah, that’s right, I’m talking to you Away we go We don’t have forever Away we go Tomorrow might be better Let’s get on the road I want a piece of the action I need another distraction A new tattoo Maybe a night of romance Can I dance with you? I need some love and affection I’ve got no sense of direction or what to do I hear a song on the radio that breaks through Yeah, that’s right, I’m talking to you Away we go We don’t have forever Away we go Tomorrow might be better Let’s get on the road Let’s get on the road

Man walking a tightrope Girl and her high hopes Fall from the sky Change of plans Riding a cyclone Dodging a headstone I want what’s mine Right then the walls came falling A voice came calling The night it rained in LA Mirror, ask me why I don’t act surprised I’m on my way One magic moment Don’t be late I’m on my way Salvation My revelation Arrives on vanity plates I’m on my way Smoke smothers a hillside Blind in my mind’s eye My city’s on fire One more joke Lacking a punchline Realized sci-fi I’m in denial Right then the walls came falling A voice came calling The night it rained in your eyes Mirror, ask me why I don’t act surprised I’m on my way One magic moment Don’t be late I’m on my way Salvation My revelation Arrives on vanity plates I’m on my way We go on about nothing Just to talk about something I’m on my way I’m on my way One magic moment Don’t be late I’m on my way Salvation My revelation Arrives on vanity plates I’m on my way

Invisible until I want to be I’m miserable on a beautiful day Take one look around you And you just might find A miracle, a mile away Might be a miracle A smile arrives on your face Might be a miracle A mile, a mile away Quit looking for love you’ve left behind Waiting for what you’ve yet to find Might be a miracle A mile, a mile away So spiritual you used to be So cynical in every obvious way Take one look around you and the world might end A miracle in every day Might be a miracle A smile arrives on your face Might be a miracle A mile, a mile away Quit looking for love you’ve left behind Waiting for what you’ve yet to find Might be a miracle A mile, a mile away

I’m on the run She’s lighting up One more cigarette to calm down I’m driving home Pick up the phone Yeah She says “I can’t hear you” Well, you need to I’m on the way back home now “I can’t hear you” Well, you need to Hanging by a thread I’m hanging on The world and I We meet at last I’m on the run Hanging by a thread I’m hanging on The world and I We meet at last I’m moving on The gloves are off The curtains drawn shut Same as the door behind me The drink in her hand Emergency lands Yeah She says “I can’t hear you” Well, you need to I’m hanging up the phone now “I can’t hear you” Well you need to Mystified The world and I Hanging by a thread I’m hanging on The world and I We meet at last I’m on the run Hanging by a thread I’m hanging on The world and I We meet at last I’m moving on I can’t hear you Well, you need to I can’t hear you Well, you need to Mystified The world and I

Summer breeze Dancing trees by the lake Telling me about your latest heartache With sudden ease We laugh it off, as it begins to rain I feel it I fell in love by mistake I fell in love like the rain Tonight’s not over Come over and stay Back to earth Back to work I detest Strike a match Light a fire in my chest Spill your guts Whatever happened Here’s what happens next I feel it I fell in love by mistake I fell in love like the rain Tonight’s not over Come over and stay We’ve got mountains to climb The roads will wind Celestial bodies in orbit We’re just out of our minds We still have time I say let’s move forward The forecast says it won’t last I fell in love by mistake I fell in love like the rain Tonight’s not over Come over and stay I feel it I fell in love by mistake I fell in love like the rain Tonight’s not over Come over and stay

I’ve got these pictures of yesterday These pictures, they’re all that I’ve got Tomorrow looks different When hope seems so distant Distant, the days that I want Found an old flame in the parking lot With a newspaper clenched in her hands, said “Tomorrow looks different when hope seems so distant” And damn, man I knew what she meant But that’s where you’re wrong The future’s in only our hands Isn’t that mad? The night will light your fears awake The sun will dry your tears away Darkness arrives and departs What’s a little price to pay? Saw my old friend at the supermarket He turned away, I looked back Tomorrow looks different Then suddenly you’re in it Yesterday needs to come back That’s where you’re wrong The future’s in only our hands Isn’t that mad? The night will light your fears awake The sun will dry your tears away Darkness arrives and departs What’s a little price to pay? I’ve got these pictures of yesterday These pictures, they’re all that I’ve got That’s where you’re wrong The future’s in only our hands Isn’t that mad? The night will light your fears awake The sun will dry your tears away Darkness arrives and departs What’s a little price to pay? The night will light your fears awake The sun will dry your tears away Darkness arrives and departs Darkness arrives and departs Tomorrow looks different Then suddenly you’re in it Darkness arrives and departs

New York lights Red wine nights Spiral stairs Climb three flights Four hard knocks Switched on lights She says “Please, I don’t want to cry tonight” Hold your fire, hold your fire, hold your fire Hold your fire, hold your fire, hold your fire No I’m not at the end of my rope On the contrary I’m not at the end of my rope Oversized Hazel eyes Dyed her hair Tattooed thighs Hold that thought Tell no lies Tell me it’s gonna be alright She tries Hold your fire, hold your fire, hold your fire Hold your fire, hold your fire, hold your fire Yeah No I’m not at the end of my rope On the contrary I’m not at the end of my rope Oh can’t you see I’m not at the end of my rope On the contrary I’m not at the end of my rope

Got what I need I took myself for granted Caught up to speed Above these dreams I planted We can fly So much faster than we run Howling at the sun Invisible until I want to be I’m miserable on a beautiful day A stone’s throw You know I’m right below your window A stone’s throw You know I’m right below your window Got what I need I took myself for granted Caught up to speed Above these dreams I planted We can fly So much faster than we run Howling at the sun Oooh, ahh Oooh, ahh So spiritual you used to be So cynical in every obvious way A stone’s throw You know I’m right below your window A stone’s throw You know I’m right below your window Oh my, my It all goes by Something that you said last night Got what I need I took myself for granted Caught up to speed Above these dreams I planted We can fly So much faster than we run Howling at the sun

A train bleeds through apartment walls Your eyes are wide, as I recall Tonight, no chance for sleep Homesick lovers Locked out of a dream Leave the speaker on And stay with me I want every breath you breathe Swimming separate seas This world has brought me to my knees Leave the speaker on And stay Stay forever Say whatever words you have to say Stay forever Stay whatever weather comes our way In the morning In the evening If I’m leaving My love’s here to stay Forever I caught a plane to Miami To catch a glimpse of you and me A California sun sinks into the sea Emerges free to the east Leave the speaker on And stay with me I want every breath you breathe Swimming separate seas This world has brought me to my knees Leave the speaker on And stay Stay forever Say whatever words you have to say Stay forever Stay whatever weather comes our way In the morning In the evening If I’m leaving My love’s here to stay Forever I’ll find my way I’ll find the place I’ll find the time I’ll climb my way To your embrace And peace of mind Leave the speaker on And stay with me I want every breath you breathe Swimming separate seas This world has brought me to my knees Leave the speaker on And stay Stay forever Say whatever words you have to say Stay forever Stay whatever weather comes our way In the morning In the evening If I’m leaving My love’s here to stay Forever Stay forever Say whatever words you have to say Stay forever Stay whatever weather comes our way I’ll find my way I’ll find the place I’ll find the time I’ll climb my way To your embrace And peace of mind

Starjumper 04:02
The windmills of your mind The windows and the night Wide open A jet black summer sky A setback in my life I’m hopeless That glimmer in your eye Like Paris in July I notice Yeah And the streets all come alive I’m floating away Over the car lights I’m floating away Glowing in starlight My friends all wonder why Yet no one takes the time To ask me any questions I read between the lines Of symbols in the sky I’m happy, any questions? I leave this world behind As I ascend a moonbeam pathway And the streets all come alive I’m floating away Over the car lights I’m floating away Glowing in starlight Time will not let me stay Staying up all night All night Glowing in starlight Alright Starjumper comes alive Oh, there was dancing in the streets Just like how we used to be Faces smiling up at me Now I’m free I’m floating away Over the car lights I’m floating away Glowing in starlight Time will not let me stay Staying up all night All night Glowing in starlight Alright Starjumper comes alive Staying up all night All night, yeah Glowing in starlight Alright Starjumper comes alive
