Meet Me In The Middle (digital-only bonus track)
. . .


I don't know what you've been told
(I don't know what you've been told)
But this starts now, walk tall walk tall
(But this starts now, walk tall walk tall)
(x4)

Rule number 1 be bright like the sun
Whether rude whether flawed like it's just begun
Rule number 1 be the only thing they see

Rule number 2 do all you can do
Look them all in the eye and leave them to fly
Rule number 2 be as bright as you can be

I'm getting taller
I'm getting taller

Rule number 3 forget where you've been
Cut your ties to the past and wave it goodbye
Rule number 3 take anything you need

Discipline appearing in marshals never caught before
Just like a terminator walking like a skilled boy
No I couldn't stay I've really got to go

I'm getting taller (x4)

I'm getting taller (x4)

I don't know what you've been told
(I don't know what you've been told)
But this starts now, walk tall walk tall
(But this starts now, walk tall walk tall)
(x2)

There's a voice in my head that I probably should have trusted
From the start, oh from the start
I've finally flipped out and I'm hiring a detective
To find out where I've been, where I've been

There's a voice in my head that I probably should have trusted
From the start, oh from the start
I've finally flipped out and I'm hiring a detective
To find out where I've been, where I've been

(I'm) I'm here
I've been hoping you'd find me
(I'm) I'm here
I've been waiting, waiting for you
(I'm) I'm here
I've been hoping you'd find me
Oh-hoo, Oh-hoo

(I'm) I'm here
I've been hoping you'd find me
(I'm) I'm here
I've been waiting, waiting for you
(I'm) I'm here
I've been hoping you'd find me
Oh-hoo, Oh-hoo

On the Lam(x4)

Away,away,away,away

Been running with the rude boys
For much too much too long
You think you are one of them
Every time that we kiss
It seems you are holding back
Don't be so quick to pull away
Away,away,away,away

I know you're thinking murder
Driving in your father's car
I will not let you disappear
Not your fault
Not your problem
Not one to apologize
If you want 'tough', I'll give you 'tough'!

She said she was
More than this
And she would rot the brain in the head
She said she was
More than this
And you would rot the brain in the head

T-E-N-D-E-R-O-N-I
T-E-N-D-E-R-O-N-I
T-E-N-D-E-R-O-N-I...

. . .


Lord, oh lord why can't you hear me?
I'm calling out your name, yeah
It's been so long since i've heard your voice
It's driving me insane, yeah
It's driving me insane, yeah
It's driving me insane

A victim of consequence or vicitm of a nurture
I've been faithful I've been kind but still you will not answer
I am turning into the man I used to be
I am turning into the man I used to be
It's driving me insane, yeah
It's driving me insane
It's driving me insane, yeah
It's driving me insane

All the light that was in me has poured through my skin
I paper up all my holes but still it's just not in me
I am turning into the man I used to be
I am turning into the man I used to be
It's driving me insane, yeah
It's driving me insane
It's driving me insane, yeah
It's driving me insane

Over to the other side
Over to the other side
Over to the other side
we will go over to the other side

. . .


I see the bags in the empty hallway
I can tell something has changed.
I see the pain written over the face
And i know i pushed you too far.

if you want,
too leave me,
you must know,
one thing.

I could have given you everything you wanted
everything you needed. x4

There are times when i lost my mind
I am told im only halfway
But you were there
In my thoughts,
in my head
In my heart
above the left side

I know the time for us has past,
but you must know one thing

I could have given you everything you wanted
everything you needed. x4

and i say,
dale dale im a deero
finding it hard too breathe x4

I could have given you everything you wanted
everything you needed. x4

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

. . .


(Please hang up and try again)

I used to want to bed the world
But now I just get by
Shoot an arrow to the sun
Or as far as it can go
It's alright
I'm learning to be laid back
about things
I'm learning to be laid back
about certain things
about certain things

I used to want to rule the world
But now I just get by
Shoot an arrow to the sun
Or as far as it will go
It's alright
There's nothing to prove anymore
Nothing to lose
I burned away all my desire
The hunger's gone but it's
It's alright
I'm learning to be laid back
about things
I'm learning to be laid back
about certain things
about certain things

. . .


I met the devil
Last night
At an after show
And then he led
Me in a cab

No more coke heads
No more cocaine
You're getting sloppy
And someone has, someone has to say

Here is bad
x4

I hear their thoughts now
Before they speak
I feel their eyes now
Go through my soul accusing me
We're only partners, between the day
And these thoughts they multiply
And one by one become unholy

Here is bad
x4

The mind is powerful
The mind is powerful
But it will not work, it will not work
In reverse
In reverse
In reverse
In reverse

. . .


Brothers sisters come with me
(into the light) x2
Brothers sisters can't you see
(into the light) x2
Don't lose sight of what you saw
You know you can better than you were before

Brothers sisters can't you see
That you are stronger than you think
You are stronger than you think x2
You are strong
Raise those arms that once were broken
and put down the grief

Did you think your time was gone
(into the light) x2
Did you think your hard work rode
(into the light) x2
Don't lose sight of what you saw
You know you can better than you were before

Brothers sisters can't you see
That you are stronger than you feel
You are stronger than you feel x2
You are strong
Raise those arms that once were broken
and put down the greed

(I'm taking over) x13

But you are stronger than you think
You are stronger than you think x2
You are strong
Raise those arms that once were broken
and put down the green

("Rise" in background over some choruses)

. . .


You tore a button, off my favourite shirt
Another thing that I've lost, to you

Where did you stay last night?
You didn't come home
I'm spending all of my time, waiting for your call

You're making me older
You're making me ill
You're making me older
You're making me ill

The bottles are empty, in the cabinet
I noticed my first grey hair, today
Why do we still do this, when we're both still young
Putting each other down, when we need to climb

You're making me older
You're making me ill
You're making me older
You're making me ill

. . .


Calm down sweetheart, take the air in
Wont you smile for me.
Wipe the tears away from your eyes
Its not all that it seems.
Calm down sweetheart, take the air in
Wont you smile for me.
Wipe the tears away from your eyes
Its not all that it seems.

Open the window, let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Golden

You�ve felt sadness you�ve felt hunger
But you are still here.
Make a space for all the good times
Store them in your heart.
You�ve felt sadness you�ve felt hunger
But you are still here.
Make a space for all the good times
Store them in your heart.

Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face (yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Golden

This is your moment.
You gotta take it in.
You might of said that you been burned, but blackened how we know.
This is your moment.

Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face (yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Golden
