If you start falling backwards
Won't you raise your hand to me?
You can walk away when you get back on your feet
If you're running tired
use my bed to catch your sleep
I won't tell a soul, your secret's safe with me
And if you cannot seem to find your way back home
Won't you look to me tonight?
And if it's home you're running from
I'll keep driving through the night
Cause Sadie if you'd be so kind
To lay to bed your worried mind
and just drive, we'll leave this town behing
Cause Sadie you've been torn apart
I promise I won't break your heart
I'll just stay with you between the lines
If you're lost inside
Please don't walk the wire for me
Cause a safety net can hardly set you free
It took us years to escape from this shakedown
I keep praying this car won't breakdown
There's miles left in us
And I won't stop til it's torn out from under us
And the tragedy is how good we both used to be
But I'm still with you tonight
Cause Sadie if you'd be so kind
To lay to bed your worried mind
And just drive, we'll leave this town behind
Cause Sadie you've been torn apart
I promise I won't break your heart
I'll just stay with you between the lines

inspiration fades, like she said
open up, rush through her veins
the only happy times, that they had,
he could see right though her soul
does it make him bad, he never cared
it only made them happy, never scared
he can't see the one she could have really been
addiction, memories just escape them, only sins
pierce the soul, the veil, the frailty of her kiss
always traps his thoughts, her lips
she could have made a difference, would he know
they jump-start after dawn
sunrise haunts her calm, fills his soul
only feeling in control
does it make him bad, he never cared
it only made them happy, never scared
he can't see the one she could have really been
addiction, memories just escape them, only sins
pierce the soul, the veil, the frailty of her kiss
always traps his thoughts, her lips
he can't see the one she could have really been
addiction, memories just escape them, only sins
pierce the soul, the veil, the frailty of her kiss
always traps his thoughts, its seeps right through her lips

We missed you tonight
(You) should have been here to reminisce
To pass a smile
You should've been here
(You) should've been here to call me out
To call my bluff
(I) should've been there to talk you down
But no one can hear you if no one's around
When did you go?
How could you leave without a word
I only needed one word
You abandoned the road
And let the tradewinds guide you home
You always traveled alone
I should've been there to talk you down
But you're the only one who can knock yourself down
Stand me up taller, I can't fall
Stand me up once more, I won't fall
Were you ready to go, did you put up a fight?
Did you darken the room, or did you light up the night?
Were you first in line when your number dropped down, down, down with the weight of the world?
Did you raise up the sail at the first sign of light?
Did you have enough time to make all your wrongs right?
When you set the course west, did you give yourself one look back?
Leeward shoal or cresting wave?
Did you follow the winds of a man that couldnt be saved?
(I) should've been there to talk you down
But no one can hear you, you kept no one around

where you are
a redder shade october
falls apart
never really sober
and you look the part
sitting on that crest
just to find the way
hopeless but best
and you say what you will
and you say what you will
and you say . . .
and you . . . say . . .
miles away
a heartache rallies over
just to steal your breathe
and i can't find a way
to forget your face
redundant and mundane
years are broken
but all is just the same
and you say what you will
and you say what you will
and you say . . .
and you . . . say . . .
walking away, from all that is left
i try to hold on, with your last breathe
reality's waking, puncture the surface
drip down the skin, and bleeding with purpose
and you say what you will
and you say what you will
and you say what you will . . .

Shelter your eyes son, shelter your eyes
Don't carry the burden of this fragile moment
the rest of your life
You'll hear the echoes of fury rejoice
while your innocence dies
Temper your pride son, temper your pride
Don't walk taller than heroes who've sacrificed battles you couldnt have won
But don't glorify verses of virtue
A war song that shouldn't be sung
Oh Light of my life shelter your eyes
You've a long road to travel ahead
Don't carry an image of horror you can't comprehend
If I could I'd walk in your stead
And suffer these miles alone on this path that you tread
Harbor your loved ones, cherish your kin
It could be a season of fortune or day the world turns on its end
The tides of destruction could wait for you just 'round the bend
When the time comes son
When the time comes
Don't assume that your name's on the ledger
reflect on the things that you've done
Don't forget the names of the souls that you met through the sights of your gun
And these eyes have seen things this heart wishes could be undone
You've a long road to travel ahead
There'll be plenty of wars when the devil will ask for your dead
We all hang by a tenuous thread, only hope holds tight the end
But don't hinder the instinct that keeps you alive
Inside, we need some connection to life
A dream, a light
To shine on all of us, just once, so we know
That we're never alone.
I'll be with you always, my only son
you've a hard road to travel ahead
and a long, long way to roam
but I'll be with every step
'til you find your way back home
my only son

a fleeting dream that never wakes . . . she takes my hand, she takes my heart
try to grasp the last breath of air . . . before you wake up and drown
and she knows ‘cuz she dreams in colors . . . vividly awaits
and she knows ‘cuz she sleeps so sweetly . . . shining through the night
if you look into my eyes
see right through, there’s no disguise
and there’s no mask, no place to hide
see the colors, walk on by . . . it creeps into your head
a masquerade of shadows and light . . . it morphs and drifts in red
and she knows ‘cuz she dreams in colors . . . vividly awaits
and she knows ‘cuz she sleeps so sweetly . . . she knows who i am
if you look into my eyes
see right through, there’s no disguise
and there’s no mask, no place to hide
feel the air, beneath our feet . . . never let go, I know that you believe
flesh and bone, upon the sea . . . take a chance, and drift away just you and me
take a breathe, close your eyes . . . I can feel it in your heart, your veins, your cry
won’t you come with me . . .
if you look into my eyes
see right through, there’s no disguise
and there’s no mask, no place to . . .
find my soul, it’s yours tonight
open up, it’s right in sight
and i will never let you go

The first lie, a pillar of smoke in a new sky, delivers me here
Words spread, and burn through the fields with a new bread to nourish the years
Deception falls on us like acid rain
You made a liar of me
You say words more deceiving than your gaze
You're watching me fall
This day I will embrace a new change
Burn down the walls
We rise at dawn, on soldier on, sign me up
Your song shatters the valleys with war cries and division bells
New wars ignited before us as you drain water from wells
You say words more deceiving than your gaze
You're watching me fall
This day I will embrace a new change
Burn down the walls
Arms the troops with the truth
Bury the proof deep down inside of me
A lie is a lie, despite the size, poisons your purity
You say we'd light up in new ways
Like angels out of the earth
Your wars, you treat us like old toys
So I step down, and hope for rebirth
You say words more deceiving than your gaze
You're watching me fall
This day I will embrace a new change
And break down the walls
We rise at dawn, on soldier on, sign me up
so sign me up

You knock me down, and watch as I fall
Head over heels, at your beck and call
You breathe me in, and you breathe me out
A ghost in the air, a ghost in your house
So I hang in the air, drift out in the cold
Waiting for your embrace,
cause it just doesnt feel like I'm home
I want to reach out, I want to give in
Shed out of these clothes, rise out of this skin
I want to scream out, but I can't find the breath
I drown from within, my own private death
So I hang in the air, but I'll leave the light on
In case you're coming home
cause it just doesn't feel like you're gone
All my words seem frail tonight
I just wanted to call,
but the words just won't come out right
So I hang in the air, drift out in the cold
waiting for your embrace,
Cause it just doesn't feel like you're home
Hang in the air, but I'll leave the light on,
In case you're coming home,
cause it just doesn't feel like you're gone
(I) hang in the air, and your shadow calls me
but nobody's there, you're only a memory
still I'll keep waiting here

big city goes to sleep
time to run away with me
inhibitions left behind
dumbarton bridge we come to find
as we watch those passing by
it feels like home
and the air is so alive
vibrant thoughts, we can survive
the big hunt, we're feeling fine
sycophants, we pay no mind
always laughing, always kind
it feels like home
watch the night go by
raise your glass up high
to the time we spent lying here
and when the night goes 'way
it's just another day
'till the sun sets, fading, to a cheer
half past one, the night's begun
royal palace here we come
stumble home through rock creek park
the light's go off, we're in the dark
hear the engines roaring by
it feels like home
watch the night go by
raise your glass up high
to the time we spent lying here
and when the night goes 'way
it's just another day
'till the sun sets, fading, to a cheer
big city goes to sleep
time to run away with me . .
