Down 04:46
Was it you I saw today Pushed around on a crowded train thinking how we used to be And it's been such a long time Since I've heard from you Calling but I can't get through Been here before, what's new? All the things that we hoped for They didn't come through Laughing as tears roll down Gold wheat in the meadow Time on our hands What's it mean to be a good man You take and taken from the land Gets cold under this blanket Laying next to you fire went out a while ago who was it that let go All the things that we hoped for They didn't come through baby we keep falling down down down We tried so hard But at the end of the day The sun goes down
2.
There goes your shadow now I thought there was so much more to come I guess all the things we’ve done belong to another sun Lost in the fading light, come on baby why don’t you just hold on to me I can feel you shaking free already missing you tomorrow night But don’t ever forget we’re not even there yet Look to the sinking sun as we go around this carousel again and we’re laughing and we’re having fun oh I know, I know that I’ll never be the same but don’t ever forget we’re not even there yet ooh don’t ever forget we’re not even there yet and with the rise and fall of the tides I will be here with open arms to guide you home won’t you come near and let’s disappear
3.
Tumbleweed 03:01
I’m just a tumbleweed you’re the only thing that’s guiding me I’m just a tumbleweed you’re the only thing that’s guiding me Tomorrow came and you changed your mind standing still in the storm You’re the only one that I ever loved Lost in the turn of a breeze caught up in the only thing that’s guiding me Lost in the turn of a breeze caught up in the only thing caught up in the only thing that’s guiding me
4.
Accident 04:25
Last night the stars fell down out of the sky and my heart, it turned inside out but I don’t have the words to say what I’m feeling it was just an accident Last night I fell down down to the ground and you carried me out of the crowd but I don’t have the words to say what I’m feeling it was just an accident, just an accident waiting to happen Will this ever end? This dream I’m living in Taken by the night Fallin’ through midair I swore I saw you there or was it just the light playing tricks on my eyes Last night I fell, oh I fell in love again, love again, love again But I don’t have the words to say what I’m feeling it was just an accident just an accident oh just an accident
5.
Come Around 03:28
Take me for a fool tonight The sun can’t wait and it’s getting too late to come around There was fruit on that tree it was waiting there for me in the sweetest of droughts but the season sold us out Won’t you come around? x2 All the moments with you, without you they turn around in my head, in my heart I can feel you there even when you’re not, but that’s all I’ve got Won’t you come around? x2 All those things we said last night will we ever make it right let’s get back to the start before it falls apart
6.
Maple Tree 03:33
The view from my room looks so different Than it has for 100 hundred years For today the maple came down Now it's gone, now everything has changed And it just don't feel the same Empty grey skies in an empty frame Are we the ones to blame The stump is all that's there for us to behold Imagine all the lives it has seen Lovers come and gone, childhood fantasies And this, the only place it's ever been And it just don't feel the same Here without you, I've lost my aim Time is the one that claims What's to be gained from all that is lost Light comes pouring in now But I miss how the shadows crossed Weaving lace through my bedroom Now I feel so exposed But that was how it had to go It couldn't stay forever, nothing ever can Though part of its still here in the ground And I wish that it could tell me all its stories For the past is written in its rings of memories And this is the new same It's branches taken down and likely set to flame Time is the one that claims
7.
Long Day 03:50
What’s it to you what I do anymore? I could lie like before, what would you do? We can sit and talk and talk and talk it out But I don’t know what’s left to say We can sit and talk and talk the whole night through but what good does that do? The sun is setting across your face and mine too but I don’t mind waiting, as long as it takes for you. I don’t want to sit and talk and talk it out ‘cause I don’t know what’s left to say and I don’t want to sit and talk the whole night through ‘cause what good does that do? Why can’t, why can’t you hold me now put those words to rest they’re just for show It’s been a long day
8.
Waiting Game 04:04
Life oh life is a waiting game Roll that die You'll never be the same Same as you were The day you were born That's your boat there waiting On a distant shore Come oh come all ye faithful men I see the storms of sorrow are blowing in Can the light of love be my North Star in the shadow of my long walk home so dark in the shadow of my long walk home and my oh my Do you know where you're going? Can I follow you ‘Cause I'm scared of not knowing I’m directionless, I got no compass now tell me where to go and my oh my Do you know where you're going? Can I follow you ‘Cause I'm scared of not knowing I’m directionless, I got no compass now tell me where to go Life oh life is a waiting game
9.
We Fell 04:35
I have waited and wasted my time put my life and my heart on the line and there’s nothing you can say to change the way that I feel And we’re fools in love again different day but the same in the end It’s so easy to lose yourself on a gambling game we fell And I keep coming back to you it’s so easy it’s hard not to do but it’s worth it just the same not calling blame but it’s all your fault And we’re fools in love again different day but the same in the end It’s so easy to lose yourself on a gambling game we fell And I’ll pull you apart, make it easy to leave if there’s anything left, another trick up your sleeve I’ll be ready for that this time around I’ll be ready, ready, ready you won’t fool me again And we’re fools in love again different day but the same in the end It’s so easy to lose yourself on a gamblin’ game, a gamblin’ game, a gamblin’ game, a gamblin’ game we fell
10.
I'm Ready 05:14
I'm ready ready for the story to begin Ready for the whole thing No telling when this all will end Don't want to wait another minute Let's jump right in Oh yes I'm ready I wanna see all the places I've never seen had climb out my window And take it all in I need a change or something coo I want to start a family Share a bed Get inside your head Go down the road My hand yours in Take me there Take me anywhere Oh yes, I’m ready Ready for the story to begin Ready for the whole thing No telling when this all will end Don't want to wait another minute Let's jump right in Oh yes, I'm ready
