Castles

Castles on cliffsides
the greenest of grass
Too many memories
to pack into bags
Put 'em all up with us into a plane
Shipped overseas into who we became
Love, love, love
Love, love love
Many months later
how we've kept in touch
Nothing yet everything
changed oh so much
And I love your company
so I'll take your hand
And you'll change my world
like I could never have planned
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

Rain Check
04:42
|
|||
|
You make it so easy just to be happy,
a smile lifts the corners of my lips when you're near
Got a blissful drifting like floating on a whisper,
holding all the nothings close to my ears, oh
In a sunny-coated world, events become much brighter
I'll look forward to the moment knowing you're near
I've got built up laughter just a scale-tip away
'Cuz when sadness takes a rain check it's hard not to stay now, oh
Oh my tears
will have to take a rain check
'Cuz I'm happy with the way things are
With you here
I'll never take a rain check
Because for you, you know I'd go far
And I know I've been planning to go far away,
but the way things are going you make me wanna stay
So I'll save up some money and buy myself a plane
I'll fly home to see you whenever I can, oh
Well you bet your bottom dollar, 'cuz I guarantee
I'll be returning, I'll make the journey
And in the end it'll be worth any trouble because
waiting on the other side, I can see you smile, oh
Oh my tears
will have to take a rain check
'Cuz I'm happy with the way things are
With you here
I'll never take a rain check
Because for you, you know I'd go far
Oh my tears
will have to take a rain check
'Cuz I'm happy with the way things are
With you here
I'll never take a rain check
Because for you, you know I'd go far, I'd go far

Dreamcatcher
03:52
|

|
They say you should dream
of who you want to be
so tell me, dreamcatcher,
what's in store for me?
I've got ages on ages of stories
my brain runs by at night
so catch me up, dreamcatcher,
tell me what's my own insight
And if I wake up in a cold sweat,
could you let that dream go?
'Cuz some dreams grow into nightmares,
don't let those follow me home
Some dreams, oh they may tease me
and promise what's out of reach
But dreamcatcher, leave those for me
they're my movies in my sleep
Daydreams reveal my own mind,
I am conscious but not at all
'Cuz I think of things I shouldn't
and I slowly start to fall
But daydreams still remind me
of who I want to be
so I'll ask again dreamcatcher,
could you catch those dreams for me?
They say you should dream
of who you want to be
so catch me up dreamcatcher,
oh what's in store for me?
My hopes and dreams are different
no one takes those away from me
and I don't need no dreamcatcher
'cuz I'll make those reality

Time Too Soon
05:45
|
|||
|
Time to say my last goodbyes to this home
Time to try to learn to live on my own
Time to love and hurt much more than before
Time to let myself become someone more
But the time's too soon
It's time too soon
I understand that there's much more to do
and much more to lose than win
I understand that I've got more to prove
and many more views from other men
But the time's too soon
It's time too soon
Time to change my mind 'bout how things should be
Time to view things a bit differently
Time to change my clothes, my hair, and my tastes
Time to make sure that I'm not erased
But the time's too soon
It's time too soon
I understand that there's much more to do
and much more to lose and win
I understand that I've got more to prove
and many more views from other men
But the time's too soon
It's time too soon
I fear that I will lose sight of myself
No tears 'cuz I know beyond a doubt
I will keep a little piece of me still here
Holding close to me those I love dearly
'Cuz the time's too soon
It's time too soon
It's time too soon
It's time too soon
Time too soon
It's time too soon
Oh it's time too soon
Oh it's time too soon

Green

Green
Green, Green, Green
There's something fucked inside of me.
Green, Green, Green
I'm all torn up in jealousy.
Green, Green, Green
Just wipe my record clean,
inject me with your apathy
'Cuz I just get so turned around
I get turned so upside down
One small glance, that's really it
and my mind throws a fucking fit
Green, Green, Green
Am I really so diseased?
Green, Green, Green
My heart's all clogged up with weeds.
Green, Green, Green
It ruins everything I see
Inject me with your apathy
I just get so turned around
I get turned so upside down
One small glance, that's really it
and my mind throws a fucking fit
This haunting green is turning me into a man I'd never see for something flips inside of me whenever I so much as dream of
There's something fucked inside

Home
04:52
|
|||
|
And I feel like coming home
and I miss the simple way things were before
I like what I have now
But nostalgia holds a glow
and I can't help but want to go home
Rewind to innocence
before you could buy fun
and call me a hypocrite
for all that I've done
And alienation
together or alone
I know I need to go,
I feel my body calling me home
And I walk through my doorstep,
but nobody is here
The only man I'm met with
is my foulest of fears
He reeks of indignation,
but his face is streaked with tears
And suddenly I know,
no one else will come back home
Oh my anger undirected,
I run from my old place
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
I thought I'd never say
But when everyone I love
can't help but turn away
So small, I feel so low,
all I want to do is crawl home
And I feel like coming home
And I miss the simple ways before
I like what I have now
But nostalgia holds a glow
and I can't help but want to go home
My greatest of idols
disgust me with their breath
So who am I to follow?
Not these fucked up footsteps
I've seen many men
lose wars with their own heads
and I love them even though
they take me far away from my home
By choice, or by force,
I repress this home
Friendly faces all around me,
they tell me how I've grown
But I know it's not me,
I'll keep it in my soul
The urge, the need to go,
to quit this all and go,
and I know I should go,
escape except I know there's no home

Control
03:16
|
|||
|
Once I traveled to a cliffside in my life
I looked off the edge, and fuck, it's really high
Do I take the plunge and let myself just fall?
Do I really have a choice in this at all?
Am I already falling, if so how far down?
Will I find out I've fallen only once I've hit the ground?
I've come to the cliff of control
I'm dancing on the brink of control
I'm balanced on one foot at the edge
And only the wind decides which way I dance next
Looking down, I didn't feel my fear
like something flipped inside me and I disappear
'Cuz I can't scale a mountain side, oh no
And if I fall, there's no taking back control
Am I already falling, if so how far down?
Will I find out I've fallen only once I've hit the ground?
I've come to the cliff of control
I'm dancing on the brink of control
I'm balanced on one foot at the edge
And only the wind decides which way I dance next
There's a certain beauty in this dance,
I'm flirting with the edge and testing chance
Tell me something, do you think I can fly?
Am I already falling, if so how far down?
Will I find out I've fallen only once I've hit the ground?
I've come to the cliff of control
I'm dancing on the brink of control
I'm balanced on one foot at the edge
And only the wind decides which way I dance next
Am I already falling, if so how far down?
Will I find out I've fallen only once I've hit the ground?
I've come to the cliff of control
I'm dancing on the brink of control
I'm balanced on one foot at the edge
And only the wind decides which way I dance next
Only the wind decides which way I dance next

Never Wanted Something
05:09
|

|
I never wanted something so wrong to be so right
I never saw it coming, your fog that masked your bright
For you were always someone whose song could make it right
But lately I've been falling, and you're on the other side
And I need you now
Maybe there's still some hope
But my tears fall down
As I try not to choke
Do I keep trying even though you push away?
I think we're getting tired,
running out of things to say
Nothing to say
And even though I loved it every second along the way
You know what's said of good things, it's hard to make 'em stay
And now I got this feeling and it won't go away
I sit here beg and pleading, but this course has gone astray
And I need you now
Maybe there's still some hope
But my tears fall down
As I try not to choke
Do I keep trying even though you push away?
I think we're getting tired,
running out of things to say
Nothing to say
Now I see where we're headed, stop a runaway train
And we will make amends but nothing will be the same
You know I loved you then, maybe that hasn't changed
But I am just so beaten, I simply cannot stay
And I need you now
Maybe there's still some hope
But my tears fall down
As I try not to choke
Do I keep trying even though you push away?
I think we're getting tired,
running out of things to say
Nothing to say

Don't Stop the World
02:56
|
|||
|
Don't stop the world
from turning in time
There's no mistakes,
no re-runs this time
Don't stop the world
from turning in time
There's no mistakes,
no re-runs this time
To go back and fix the things I've done
would mean the world to who I've become
And in the end, it would be no good,
'cuz I don't know, don't know if I should
It would be so unfortunate
if you came to see who you would've been
that's why I say don't stop the world
who you are now might come unfurled
To go back and fix the things I've done
would stop the world for who I've become
And in the end, it would be no good,
'cuz I don't know, don't know if I should
Don't stop the world
from turning in time
There's no mistakes,
no re-runs this time
To go back and fix the things I've done
would stop the world for who I've become
And in the end, it would be no good,
'cuz I don't know, don't know if I should
And in the end, it would be no good,
I don't know, don't think that I could

Transitions
03:20
|
|||
|
Waves of nostalgia I'm caught in the undertow
and sometimes it feels like I've drowned
Rosy retrospection, I see through colored glass
The bad times are blurred and fade away
This life has tinted my window now
the colors of my windshield show up
Whatever I see through my window now
These panes will never come off
Constantly missing the past, embracing the present, resenting the future
Constantly missing the past, embracing the present, resenting the future
Love a fleeting moment with everything I got
but time slips through my grasp like sand
The tighter I wish for some good times to stay
the sooner they seem to fade away
And I know I'll move on to more good times
and eagerly hold on just as tight
But after I'll pick daisies, stare off my dock
for that wish will trump a lesson learned
Constantly missing the past, embracing the present, resenting the future
Constantly missing the past, embracing the present, resenting the future

Friends of Mine
02:34
|
|||
|
As I struggle to write a happy ending,
it occurs to me my life's not at a close
Well I got time and I got patience
We all know happiness, it comes and goes
So I'll write a song that says I'm fine
and cry myself to sleep
So I'll write a song that says I'm fine
and drive smiling down the street
These friends of mine got all I need, I'll always keep them close.
