The Wall 04:04
I've looked out my window eleven times today I'm still stuck in February, wishing it were May I feel a warm wind when you're with me, Baby you blow me away The wall that separates me from an icy touch and a loaded gun I'll let you in, I want you here with me The wall I put up stone by stone protects me and me alone But I need you, I want you here with me I can't get any colder, my mind is frozen shut I promise that I'll sing for you, just please don't ask me what I wish that you would come back to me The sun and stars all went their own way The wall that separates me from an icy touch and a loaded gun I'll let you in, I want you here with me The wall I put up stone by stone protects me and me alone But I need you, I want you here with me

To The Sea 04:36
We reach a point when we are no longer one And I still fear what I can't see Please don't be mad when all of this is done And I find there's so much more I can be So take it and try to be someone better I assumed that you'd do it for me But you took it and you thought that there'd be time later Though one of us would have to go free So throw a pebble to the sea, if you care for me Face the other way if you're ready Turn away from what, where, and who you know The ones who matter will stand behind you Do try and refrain from sinking too low That's where what's wrong is what's true So throw a pebble to the sea, if you care for me Face the other way if you're ready And I'll turn the other way because I'm ready

Black Eye 04:10
Quit it, give up, you're throwing me around I'm gonna break soon But I won't go down, no, I won't go down without a fight Stop it please, I still know what I want I'm gonna cave soon But I won't let you, no, I won't let you be the only one right Paint on the wall chips before my forehead Nobody take any before you're fed... It won't last. Just go away, I still do what you say But I'm gonna leave soon Cause I won't be the one, no, I won't be the one to stay here all night Artificial simulation, cheap plastic, and imitation Don't count on your supposed alliance Artificial simulation, cheap plastic, and imitation Your smile's tighter than your allowance Paint on the wall chips before my forehead Nobody take any before you're fed... It won't last.

1147 04:38
Did you want to get inside my head? Yes, I heard every word you said No, I never asked you to leave I don't think I know what you believe They ask to see much past your eyes Are you afraid that they'll see your lies? They're made of steel, you can't break them They've got nowhere, you still can't take them One more of the same You've asked for the blame One more of the same Numbers for names Oh why did you get built this way? I know you've asked, I just can't say I get it, we were meant for this But it won't be the routine I miss So, what can I do? Can you tell who's who? Who'll stay true to you? Who'll be true to you? One more of the same You've asked for the blame One more of the same Numbers for names

Sing Softly 03:34
Remember... the day went by as we walked so long It was early... I still knew, the thought so strong Weeks past. Time flew, oh It's cloudy... rays only shine now and then Bright moon... she reminds me when I'm drifting, the cycle anew I can't sing softly anymore But I'll settle the score I have to The night's long... before too long, the river ran dry It hurts me... a yell can't always beat a sigh The sound of a union no more I'll move on... I'm racing, but I haven't left the gate Meet me... no point in leaving it up to fate Trust me. I'll be patient I can't sing softly anymore It won't be like before It can't be

Tonight 03:25
Fast cars, loud guitars, and terrible weather We've had a few, yeah me and you, lucky in leather I move this way, just for today, I think that's what I meant Dance for the romance, all the signs were sent I can feel the way you look at me I can see what you want baby I can feel the way you look at me I can see what you want baby Tonight, we'll come together Tonight, won't be forever Tonight, I won't ask you whether You'll stay or you'll go Miles away from our today, middle of nowhere Stay with me, I'll make you I always cared Bright lights, stupid fights, I can forget Live and try to give like when we first met I can feel the way you look at me I can see what you want baby I can feel the way you look at me I can see what you want baby Tonight, we'll come together Tonight, won't be forever Tonight, I won't ask you whether You'll stay or you'll go
