Let’s take it from the top To find out where we got lost From galaxies to parking lots When history repeats It knocks me off my feet But up like a rose through the concrete You said love is in my arms You said love You said love is in my arms You said love And love will guide me home

Shipwrecked 04:20
Cut and run to your panic stations All hands on there’s no time for hesitation Man we’re in for one Carry on batten down your hatches Everyone the past is where the past is The calm is surely done We drifted so far in the dead of the night We’re coming Hell or high Even though we’re shipwrecked from the storm From the storm We’ll be singing ‘til we hit the shore Hit the shore Bail out the waves are crashing Bear down the time is now for action Gotta keep our heads afloat Touch and go what're you waiting for Take it slow how could you jump out overboard I was starboard and you were port We drifted so far in the dead of the night We’re coming Hell or high Straight as the crow flies Even though we’re shipwrecked from the storm From the storm We’ll be singing ‘til we hit the shore Hit the shore We drifted so far in the dead of the night We’re coming Hell or high Straight as the crow flies We’re feeling alright Even though we’re shipwrecked from the storm From the storm We’ll be singing ‘til we hit the shore (Oh, you’re rhythm is so good) Hit the shore (Oh, you’re rhythm is so good)

Shackled up in chains that I can’t see no I can’t comprehend People trying just to make ends meet before they meet their ends Wake up it took so long to realize There must be something more to life Won’t need a golden watch to find I’ve been wasting mine (Wait all night) Just for a feeling I can believe in (Rise and shine) Out of the shadows wherever the wind blows I’ll be fine Blinded by the unrelenting light from a computer They told me beauty’s in the eye of the commuter Wake up it took so long to realize We only get one piece of time Won’t need a golden watch to find I’ve been wasting mine (Wait all night) Just for a feeling I can believe in (Rise and shine) Out of the shadows wherever the wind blows I’ll be fine

Feeling comes around comes around comes around Like a roller coaster and I’m off the ground off the ground off the steady ground But I’m coming closer I said Oh, I wanna ride on forever Copenhagen sky it’s now or never Taken by surprise by surprise by surprise When we’re swinging in mid-air and I come alive come alive come alive It all looks smaller from up there I said Oh, I wanna ride on forever Copenhagen sky it’s now or never I want to break through and I’ve got to break through I want to break through and I’ve got to break through I want to break through and I’ve got to break through
5.
I drive beneath an overpass when the world is pouring rain A momentary silence that is my only break from the pain Oh, I can’t let go Get me out of my head ‘cause I can’t take any more It’s all been left unsaid too long Why must I be my own worst enemy? Someone get me out of my head It’s been so dark and lonesome I broke down the fourth wall of my life So if you’re listening to my song would you care to shed some light? Oh, let me know Get me out of my head ‘cause I can’t take any more It’s all been left unsaid too long Why must I be my own worst enemy? Someone get me out of my head Stare too long at a word it becomes something else Didn’t know the same goes for yourself Strayed so far from the heart I held And I just want it back Get me out of my head ‘cause I can’t take any more It’s all been left unsaid too long Why must I be my own worst enemy? Someone get me out of my head oh Why must I be my own worst enemy? Someone get me out of my head
6.
You’ll stay for awhile you say with a smile I saw right through Now all of your glances seem like last chances I don't know what to do Time is on your side As it goes by you’ll realize I wish I could do that turn all the clocks back As you said But everything’s changing and you’re just replacing Your heart with your head Time is on your side As it goes by you’ll realize Baby, convictions aside All that you need is in your eyes I hope someday your record plays a different tune But I can’t make the needle fall into the groove I don’t understand why you think you need something to prove Time is on your side As it goes by you’ll realize Baby, convictions aside All that you need’s where your head and your heart collide

Good Company 03:33
Yesterday you called me up crying Said it’s just too hard to take Everything is breaking down you’re just so sick of trying Won’t you hear me when I say When the world feels so dark and dishonest Just remember you’re in good company Stormy nights so much colder than promised But sunny days are always in between Your tears are working double shifts and all you wanna do is Drown it all into the sea Life feels like a room and you’re the only one inside it Don’t you know I have the key When the world feels so dark and dishonest Just remember you’re in good company Stormy nights so much colder than promised But sunny days are always in between All of our lives I’ve felt you and I were meant to be So what you crying about you’ve got it figured out with me All of our lives I’ve felt you and I were meant to be So what you crying about you’ve got it figured out with me When the world feels so dark and dishonest Just remember you’re in good company Stormy nights so much colder than promised But sunny days are always in between

Illusions 03:25
Oh no I’ve heard too much about the lonely lovers Still cold in their covers They whisper to each other that it’s forever But they don’t know I don’t wanna waste my time turning around Staring at the sky being fooled by Illusions breaking us down Oh no it’s three, two, one until you’re castle’s crumbling And you’re undone Be good ‘til that day comes or it’ll be the last of The light you know I don’t wanna waste my time turning around Staring at the sky being fooled by Illusions breaking us down I thought the answer was no Now I don’t need an answer at all To feel my heart glow
9.
Well lately my reason has lost its rhyme and I’m unaligned And it looks like a rainbow in black and white Colorblind with no end in sight How do I suspend my disbelief? How do I keep the magic without mystery? It’s taking up all of my energy How do I keep the magic? This cruel work of fiction just seems so fake and uninspired You’ve gotta be a cool parent to your inner child Let it out if you want to survive How do I suspend my disbelief? How do I keep the magic without mystery? It’s taking up all of my energy How do I keep the magic inside of me? I’m longing to find The place that I've been dreaming of before tomorrow comes Some new paradise Where the grass beneath my feet is green enough How do I suspend my disbelief? How do I keep the magic without mystery? It’s taking up all of my energy How do I keep the magic, Feel the magic, Keep the magic in me?

Come over tell me things you’ve never told before I wanna hear it all Remember the night we spent lying on the floor I wanna be there again Instead of dreaming here alone Ooh it can be so hard when you find someone to love ‘Cause when she goes away nothing feels the same And I know I shouldn’t mind the change But I’m feeling so alone Come on now it’s been so long since I’ve seen your face Shining on my day Cure this feeling of separated love and come my way I will be waiting With our memories playing in my head Ooh it can be so hard when you find someone to love ‘Cause when she goes away nothing feels the same And I know I shouldn’t mind the change But I’m feeling so alone I want to be near her But I can’t see her (when she goes away) I want to be near her oh But I can’t see her when she goes Ooh it can be so hard when you find someone to love ‘Cause when she goes away Ooh it can be so hard when you find someone to love ‘Cause when she goes away nothing feels the same And I know I shouldn’t mind the change But I’m feeling so alone
11.
I think I’ll hide away this evening where I truly do believe in Things I can and cannot change ‘cause in my mind it’s all the same I know there’s no other way to fake the truth anymore And now it’s knocking at my door but I won’t be there I just can’t wait another minute just one blink and I’m back in it Like a marionette who cuts the strings down for himself Maybe we’re not so far away from changing things anymore But I’ve heard it all before so I won’t be there Falling away to catch a dream Too many things got in our way Our way It’s true I don’t know what the plan is but my mind’s an empty canvas And my heart is pouring paint onto the corners of my brain From here I can see so clearly that the love hasn’t gone So in my head or at the dawn I know I’ll be there Falling away to catch a dream Too many things got in our way Watch all of these material things Dissolve into ethereal scenes Falling away to catch a dream Too many things got in our way Our way

Somehow 04:45
All of my love has come my way tonight She pumped it straight into my veins and I Could die when words on her tongue Were on my mind I could never let her go Never let her sing another lonely song Now our love is shining on Shining brighter than the moon the stars and sun Floating away on sleepless dreams tonight So hard to believe that glimmer in her eyes Shines bright for me now Somehow I could never let her go Never let her sing another lonely song Now her loving let’s me know That there’s a place my heart will always belong And when the sun rises I know that our love Will take time But the plan I’ve devised is every morning to come She’ll be mine
