Let Us In

shallow the waters
low the tide
drowning in your love
now we have dried
the glue that has held us
together goodbye
they know where to find you
they know where you've been
they know all your secrets
and all of your sin
but they will take care of you
if you just let them in
the faucet is frozen
stuck in the web
next to the papers
creased and unread
like nothing has happened
and nothing has been said
they know where to find you
they know where you've been
they know all your secrets
and all of your sin
but they will take care of you
if you just let them in
we know all your secrets
we know where you've been
we know where to find you
in all of your sin
but we will take care of you
if you just let us in
just let us in let us in
just let us in let us in
just let us in let us in
just let us in just let us in
just let us in

Just for a While
03:25
|

|
Sometimes, when I'm waiting in line, I can feel you
Never needing to hear your voice or see your face
Remembering all of the times I disowned you
Now I realize I never owned you in the first place
Sometimes I get chills in my spine
I can feel you
I can feel you
If it's just for a while, it's enough for a smile
and there's never a doubt in my mind
I can feel you
Sometimes, when I'm here on the ground, I can feel you
Never needing to smell the flowers or taste the rain
Always dry, not a tear in the sky, not up here rolling down to the stone
Wanna wash it away but all we can do now is refrain
and now we refrain
and I feel you
If it's just for a while it's enough for a smile
and there's never a doubt in my mind
I can feel you

The Ceiling
03:42
|

Go away and take the party with you
I don't need your company any more
Forget the day and what was on the menu
Why are you leaving?
Headed for the door?
Don't make me hit the ceiling
Crash down on the floor
Well you may no longer need me
but don't leave me here alone
Go away and take your pity with you
I don't want your sympathy any more
Forget my face and everything about me
Why are you leaving?
Headed for the door?
Don't make me hit the ceiling
Crash down on the floor
Don't leave me here alone
I'll fall apart without you.........
Go away
Why are you leaving?
Headed for the door?
Don't make me hit the ceiling
Crash down on the floor
Don't leave me here alone
I'll fall apart without you.........
Go away
Won't you stay?

Home Again
03:37

Crossed the bridge that always took me down
Found it headed in a new direction
Stood at the edge and looked over the sound
Watched the waves go by
Jumped the train and rode to solid ground
Looked in the mirror and saw my reflection
Decided I was the conductor now
Derail this crazy ride
Once you've laid track you can't turn back
You must keep rollin' rollin' rollin' along
And we won't stop until we're home again
The wheels are turning but I cannot move
We're overheating and my heart is growing cold
feeling I have everything to prove
with a pocket full of lies
I try to stay between the lines
while keeping my eyes open
Now it's time to kiss this game goodbye
and drive one out of sight
You hear that crack when you're at bat
you must keep runnin' runnin' runnin' along
Tag all your bases and you're home again
In all the time I spent away
I close the window, break the pain
And I won't stop until I'm home again

All of the Ways
04:09
|

Oh, all of the ways that you have helped me
always made me feel like family
Always offering time, always offering means
always filling in the in-betweens
You opened your place and gave me the key
and supported years of memories
When I needed some time to go out of my mind, alone,
that was the place to be
Playing and singing
Watching the sunset
coming and going
whenever I felt like it
Just letting me be me
who and what and how I pleased
but I need to be free
and if I stay here, I know I'll never be
I've got to be through here
'cause it doesn't matter
what I do here
there's no climbing the ladder
in the middle of nowhere
When it's time to say goodbye
I know I'll leave a piece of myself behind
When it's time for me to go away
I know a part of you will stay with me through my life
But until then let's stay high
and until then let's say hi
I can't swallow it down, I just don't believe
that it's really time for me to go
On the road ahead, if we never meet again
I hope you'll always know
Oh all of the ways you helped me and now......
I'm pulling the curtain leaving the stage
I'm turning the age for turning the page

Anything but Wrong
04:29
|

Shooting arrows into trees so you don't have to kill the rabbit
Throwing paper airplanes at the breeze
Let the stars light your way to a perfect blend of ys and zs
You can daydream all day long
I bet no one will even notice that you're gone
Still I think there will come a time when you're all alone
with no one to help keep you strong
Call me crazy
Call me anything but wrong
Putting out the fire with gasoline
Soak your toes in the smoldering coals with nothing on your feet
and they'll come around
and they'll put you down
when they hear you scream
So you can daydream all day long
and no one will even notice that you're gone
Still I think there will come a time when you're all alone
with no one to help keep you strong
Call me crazy
Call me anything but wrong
It's wrong
You're not doing yourself any favors spending your days in a daze

No Return Addresses
02:22
|
|||
|
I see the sun come up and down
way too many times to count
Morning, night and mid day
I wake up in the same place
and I cry like a baby
I don't want to feel this again
With every last bit of my faith
I spread open my wingspan and reach for an answer
God isn't here today
Please leave a message
He sent a letter from far away
with no return addresses
but he'll return and address this
some time
I want to know that someone is caring
and thinking about me
but the mailman ain't coming
and the telephone ain't ringing
and I cry like a baby
I just don't understand
With every last bit of my strength
I tear open my soul and I scream for an answer
God isn't here today
Please leave a message
He sent a letter from far away
with no return addresses
but he'll return and address this
I'm sure

Run West
02:38
|
|||
|
I know the dangers here of being an outcast
Not welcome anywhere, but everyone wants your ass
so they can take what's theirs
and be sure to give you yours
I'm not sure where I should be headed for
Think I'll run west
Out of all the options laid before me
I think that it's best
For days now, the darkness has been my friend
I keep the sun away as long as I can
I hardly eat or sleep
I'm losing sanity
just as the helicopter closes in on me
Think I'll run west
Given the circumstances
I think that it's best
You want to hunt me down and take me back
You think I'll throw my hands up just like that
but I can't help you there
I'm rolling way too fast
I'm here to tell you
you can kiss my ass
run west

WTF
03:34
|
|||
|
We can't work fast enough
to build these walls that dammed us once and damned us again
We can't dig deep enough
to put to rest the failed results of this test
What do we think we're doing?
Who do we think we are?
Why do we keep on going?
Taking it way too far
and as the days go by
the ones who leave us put more fear into the well
and in these final hours
we pray you'll come and nurse our babies back to hell
Running out of space
Running out of time
Running out of faith
Running out of life
Running out of ways to wait
What do we think we're doing?
Who do we think we are?
Why do we keep on going?
Taking it way too far
What do we think we're doing?
Who do we think we are?
Why do we keep on going?
Taking it way too far

The Torch
03:43
|
|||
|
It's ok to cry now as you watch me fly away
but only with tears in your eyes of joy and celebration
for the coming of this day
Don't look back and think you're leaving me behind
You hold the torch, now run the race with it held high
and if you think of me before the finish line
don't stop, just keep on running
Don't look back and think I'm leaving you behind
I've held the torch this far and now I'm at the finish line
and when you get here, together we might find a way
to keep on running
So keep on running
Don't stop, just keep on running
Keep on running
Don't stop, just keep on running
