I've seen the silence grow between us
And not to make this sound so hard
But all my troubles and my justice fades on such cold steel
I made up that story to change your mind
I could have been somebody else
But now I'm me this time.

. . .



Come back home for another year
And find yourself in the thick of it
Come back home for another year
I always thought that you could handle this

And you know you're hard enough
And you find you're strong enough
And you feel you're strong enough

Come back home for another year
And ask yourself if you could handle this
Say my name before you disappear
I always thought that you could handle this

And you know you're hard enough
And you find you're strong enough
And you feel you're strong enough

In your life, you can talk about it
Oh in your life, you can live without
Can live without

And you know you're hard enough
And you find you're strong enough
Oh yeah you'll find you're hard enough
Oh yeah you'll find you're strong enough

Come back home
Yeah, come back home.

. . .



Take my hand
Come with me
Into this crystal scenery
And wait, til I retain the ticket
You would never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning

Over here, see the lights
Arranging twilight sages
Commence to reveal it to the others
You would never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning
You were there
We were good in the beginning

Yeah, take my hand and come with me
Into this crystal village
And see the lights so fried in brightness
Cos you will never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning

Take my hand, come with me
I see the lights so brightly
And we fall as if we never really mattered
Cos you will never have the time
I would love to change your mind
It was there
And it was good in the beginning
We were there
It was good in the beginning.

. . .



Into the room
Keep it burning through
Hear what they said?
Don't talk about this…
If you know how to sing it alone.
Carlos works in a place that no one has gone
It's howlin' out tonight
And he's feeling' alright
On the street
I was talking to you
And you found something better to do
What's the upside of this place?
And when you're with yourself, oh don't let it go to your head
Don't talk
Don't move
They'll leave
You soon
If you're fine, you can wait
Don't mention that you're sick of this place
Say you're not sold, you're sick of it all
Just as long as it takes
What's the upside of this place?
And when you're with yourself, oh don't let it go to your head
When you're with yourself, oh don't let it go to your head.

. . .



The words you never cared to say
I want to find a better place
When we rely on something more than this
And even as I try to sleep
I'm looking for my best friends
I'm tired of all the people I'm seeing through
(The) Same idea…
It makes me wonder why I'm here
And even when I try to sleep
Still looking for my best friend
When we rely on something more than this
The words you never cared to say,
“I want to start a family”
I'm tired of all the people I'm seeing through
(The) Same idea
It makes me wonder why I'm here
Watch me now
Try
Couldn't walk down that line
Just pass me by
Just passing by.

. . .



It's alright
I won't commit my friend
And if you pay for your mistakes
You can break apology
It's just fine
I won't commit my friend
When you come back from your escape
You can make a person's day
Cos it's your time
You come back and you don't tell the truth to me, no more
It's alright
I won't commit my friend
When you come back from your escape
I don't need apology
Yeah it's just fine
I won't convince my friend
And you don't know just what to say
Once you make your plan you follow it just right
I know you never meant to let nobody down
You never feel the way I found
Come and see
Oh, I won't commit my friend
You won't pay for your mistakes
And I don't make apologies
Yeah it's alright
I won't convince my friend
When you don't know just what to say
I don't think I'll ever come to hear it all
You wanna feel so bad for doing nothing all this time
You're doing nothing
(You just feel left out!)
You're always up to no one's business
Always up to…
Only witness
When you come back from your escape
Then I could follow you to hell.

. . .



I don't love you
So why should I compete with other guys?
All I know is… my father told me look out
“Look out!”
I don't want you
So why should I compete with other guys?
I don't love you, no
I think I'll take a long way down from here
I think I'll take a long way down
I don't miss you, still I will take a car to be with you
I don't know you, of course you think you know me
I don't want you
So why should I compete with other guys?
I don't love you, no
I think I'll take a long way down from here
I think I'll take a long way down
I don't love you.

. . .



When you see the light
You could imagine
Where you can go
And when you walk outside
You could've had it
You felt alone
You felt alone
So why'd you say those words to him
If you could start over again
When you asked for this
It was a gift, yeah
They let you have
And once you've seen the light
You will remember (you WILL remember!)
Where you could go (you WILL remember!)
When you would go
Away
So why'd you say those words to him
If you could start over again
Yeah, you turn it around
And see how they came to be there
Oh, but you've never seen
The lives in between
No they won't care
No they won't care
And when you tell those words to him
Be sure to start over again
And when you tell those words to him
Just be sure to start over again
Yeah, just be sure to start over again.

. . .



Saw my reflection, covered in glass
How it reminds me of you
Broken like a vision, an unfinished season
Terror had struck me, but all I could see is your soft skin
And I wondered
Inside the workhouse, you mind your own business
And I had the courage of two
And as I requested a lapse in your presence
I couldn't think of anything important to say
So I wondered
When this day will end
Yeah, I wondered if we'd speak again.
Yeah, I wonder.

. . .



It's a 7-11
Do you wanna take a walk outside
If you want a burrito
You can have another bite of mine
It could last you forever
If you're not waiting for the call
Come on over tonight
Come on over this morning
Momma says, “You only fall in love once.”
And you could leave here tomorrow
You know you wanted to have more
They were looking for answers
And if you never had them score
Yeah, it could last you forever
Just sit here in the store
Come on over tonight
Come on over this morning
Momma says, “You only fall in love once.”
And you think you know that they'll always be there
You never had the time
I want you to be fine
It's a 7-11
Do you want to take a walk outside
If you want a burrito
You can have another bite of mine
It could last you forever
If you're still waiting on that call
Come on over tonight
Come on over this morning
Momma says, “You only fall in love once.”

Man in uniform told me he wants to get out
Didn't see it coming head in from the west
And it's he who choose
To reach another level
I never even saw it
before today
sew his uniform
paint a different circle
can i wonder how
you never let me down?
If it's we who choose
I'll reach another level
To be that one who never lost a day
But it's he who choose
I'll reach out for the takers
I never saw them make it in a scene
Man in uniform
Wants to get out
He didn't see it coming
Blaze in from the north
So it's they who choose
I'll reach out for beginners
I know you could not miss it,
It's a date!
A little while …
Just for a little while
I know you never wanted it this way
I can see, I can see.

. . .



Every now and then I get like this
And it isn't hard to see
But the old man in the kitchen
I think he's part of me
Don't say nothing bout the old house
Cos I burned it to the ground
And when the darkness comes, I lie awake
Playing lost and found
All at once
I break my silence
All at once
There's no more hiding
And all he wants
Is to show us how he feels
They're all liars in the back room
Watch them all go down
They can tell you what you want to hear
But they will never stick around
So don't say nothing bout the old house
Cos I burned it to the ground
And when the darkness comes I'll lie and wait
Still playing lost and found
All at once
I break my silence
All at once
There's no more hiding
And all he wants is to show us how he feels
When he comes around
Do not tell him nothing
Do not make a sound
Cos if he knows we're there
He might tear his heart out
And beat us to death with it
I was too young to understand.

. . .

Silence

[No lyrics]

There was a time
She could never see him
And her fault
Was to always need him
They became their only rescue
They connect
They connect
And he says, “I know about your son.”
That he feels so much older than he was
When she only talks about her son
So much work
There was a time
When I thought I knew you
So much for that afternoon
They became their only rescue
They connect in the afternoon
And he says “I know about your man”
...and their hearts will broken if you can't decide between them
So much longer wind on the phone
You don't have to answer, have to walk alone
So much work
And it's the same sad song coming back again
The same old song, flows back again
And you don't have to live on your own
It's a lie in the end, you only satisfy your friends
And you don't heal if you won't (don't) bring it home
You don't have to settle
(Don't) have to say you won't
You can stay
You don't have to walk alone.
