Crashing In 03:29
I need you, to save me, To cover up these scars I've pleaded, you've promised, I'm wishing on the stars, And every time I fear I'll never see, The other side and where I'm meant to be, I feel you... Crashing in my head, doing it again Your whispers far too loud I hear you Crashing in my head, doing it again, Your whispers far too loud... I need you to save me, retrieve the love you sold, I suffer in silence, with words I left untold, And every time I fear I'll never see, The other side and where I'm meant to be, I feel you... Crashing in my head, doing it again Your whispers far too loud, I want to drive you out, make you pay Every time you haunt me this way I need you to save me, to steer me from the ledge, In search of forgiveness, I'm hanging on the edge, Crashing in my head, doing it again Your whispers far too loud I hear you Crashing in my head, doing it again, Your whispers far too loud...

If I Go 03:05
If I try I might just nail it on the head But then again, it’s possible that I might really make a mess, If I aim this time I know I’ll hit the mark, ‘Cause if I miss again it’s likely that I’ll wind up in the dark And I have searched, for answers everyday, For peace of mind, to leave or stay, And if I go away, I go away, I might not be back this time. When you ask for my opinion don’t be shocked when I turn around and roll my eyes and go off while half-cocked. And I have searched, for answers everyday, For peace of mind, to leave or stay, And if I go away, I go away, I might not be back this time. If I take a chance I risk a broken neck, But all my friends say go ahead and I don’t want to lose respect And I have searched, for answers everyday, For peace of mind, to leave or stay, And if I go away, I go away, I might not be back this time. And if I go away, I go away, I might not be back this time.

Lead Me Back 04:41
Well I never stop believing, All those thoughts, that I’ve been dreaming, While I’m deceiving, All my friends about what I’m feeling, And I’m looking for a hand, to hold me up to help, me stand Just lead me back To where we started Don’t leave me broken-hearted This feeling is real, I need you right here, to hold me and calm all my fears Well my sanity’s decreasing, My faith in Christ, is quickly ceasing, While I stand grieving, My friends all gone, the pain increasing, And I’m looking for a hand, to hold me up to help, me stand Just lead me back To where we started Don’t leave me broken-hearted I need you right here, to hold me and calm all my fears My smile is misleading, The wounds have healed, But I’m still bleeding, while I… Am looking for an answer, And I’m, just looking for an answer And I’m looking for a hand, To hold me up to help, me stand, Just lead me back To where we started Don’t leave me broken-hearted I need you right here, to hold me and calm all my fears, Just lead me back, (etc, until fade)

Put Me Down 03:46
You’ve found out by now, That I’ve heard every word, And I know that somehow, He’s made this all occur And it wouldn’t trouble me, if I could tear myself away What would you say? It’s going ‘round the town, that you put me down, And it’s no surprise that you’ve told me lies, Everywhere I go, I see your smiling face But you’re in his arms now, and staying at his place, And that won’t frighten me, if I could drag myself away It’s going ‘round the town, that you put me down, And it’s no surprise that you’ve told me lies, Your story’s so old, your heart is so cold And I’ve, heard everything, before Stranded on the corner, I wonder if you’ll pass, You once called me first love, but will he be the last? And it wouldn’t bother me, if I could pull myself away, It’s going ‘round the town, that you put me down, And it’s no surprise that you’ve told me lies, It’s going ‘round the town, going ‘round the town That you put me down, that you put me down.

Sitting up late, looking out of my window and I swear I hear your voice In the breeze that rattles the shutters on my heart Am I’ve felts so cold for so long now, but I know, I could come alive, with you Getting up late, walking out to my window I and swear I see your face In the clouds that shadow the valleys of my hope I’ve been so lost for so long now, but I know, I could come alive With you here, the sun would shine With you here, the world was mine With you here, I know I’d find I could come alive… If you could hold me, if you could shelter me somehow If you could get me through somehow I could come alive, again Driving by late, looking up at your window And I hope that you pass by With the moon it’s so clear, that I could stand this storm With you here the sun would shine, with you here the world was mine, With you here, I know I’d find I could come alive With you here, the sun would shine With you here, I know I’d find I could come alive again.

Intense as it seems, It was all inside your dreams Where anytime can happen, if you let it, Yes if you let it, As clever as it sounds, The fools will soon surround, And force you to produce, The manuscript I see walking, I hear you talking but I, Can’t understand a word you say, Can’t understand a word you say, Can’t understand…a word Pleasant it may look, But you haven’t read the book And confidence is fleeting, If you let it… Will you still protest? This beating in your chest, Is just enough to matter…. I see walking, I hear you talking but I, Can’t understand a word you say, Can’t understand a word you say, Can’t understand… Why you have to be so rude And I hate your attitude My despair, well you couldn’t care… I see walking, I hear you talking but I, Can’t understand a word you say, Can’t understand a word you say, Can’t understand…a word

Change 03:26
Spare some loose change, And you can buy up all my dreams, Here’s some cigarettes, They’re all that’s left it seems Share some secrets, The ones you haven’t told before Dare to be free, Beware of what’s in store And I’ve tried, and I’ll keep on trying, and I’ll try… How can I change your mind? How can I change your mind? Scared of nothing, As you step out on your own A prayer for no one, As you wander, all alone And I’ve called, and I’ll keep on calling, and I’ve called… How can I change your mind? How can I change your mind? And I’m not here to lie – and I’m not here to beg you…no, not this time Stare through dark eyes, At the cold and quiet streets Bear the emptiness, It’s everything you need And I’ve asked, and I’ll keep on asking, and I’ve asked… How can I change your mind? How can I change your mind?

Stand Still 02:56
I’ve tried hard, to tell you Each time our hearts collide, But I guess, it’s no use, I’m all tied up inside Time won’t stand still, Although you hope it will, So leave it, all behind Torn hearts, un-mended Will slowly drift apart, Empty words of longing, Forgotten from the start The debts left unpaid The dreams you’ve mislaid So fake it, one more night Time won’t stand still, Although you hope it will, So leave it, all behind I’ve tried hard, to tell you Each time our hearts collide, But I guess, it’s no use, I’m all tied up inside… Time won’t stand still, Although you hope it will, So leave it, all behind Time won’t stand still, Although you hope it will, So leave it, all behind.

Fly Me Away 02:17
It’s not nice, To tell me, That I just don’t know anything And I’ll never get what you mean So just fly me, away It’s not smart to tempt me, With dreams that will never come true There’s really nothing else I can do, So just fly me away It’s not cool, To cut me, Down when your friends are around, And kick me when I’m already down So just fly me, Just fly me, Just fly me, away Stand by and watch me fall, ‘cause I’m right here waiting for your call Stand by and watch me fall, I somehow lost it all the writing’s on your wall, while I’m right here waiting, for your call It’s not right, To kiss me, When another guys the one on your mind, You’ve done this to me so many times, So just fly me away Just fly me away, Come on fly me away Just fly me, away…
10.
I have dug my own hole And I’m sinking below, the weight, of a world gone mad, Hard to see, what’s ahead, As I’m lying in bed all alone, in a life so sad, Have we forgotten who we are or have we simply gone too far? I’m certain, while searching for you I’m trying, what else can I do? I’m a ware of the lies, as I shrinking deep into myself, And I’m stuck inside Hard to guess what you mean, I’m believing I would give a care if I could decide Have we forgotten who we are or have we simply gone too far? I’m certain, while searching for you I’m trying, but why am I… Repeating every promise, I never meant to be so honest Reliving every moment, I’m burning every letter you sent I am lost, with no trace and no feeling, I’m barely awake, in the cold night air Faded ink, hard to read, It’s disguising, your words as I drink, to a heart worn bare. Have we forgotten who we are or have we simply gone too far? I’m certain, while searching for you I’m trying, What Else Can I Do
