Help Me from There to Here

•

If the words will not come out
If I'm struggling without you with this song
Help me see what's wrong

If I'm running out of time
If you pull ahead and I'm picking up the rear
If I throw the race out of fear
Help me from there to here

If I'm falling out of touch
If the effort seems too much for me to make
Show me what's at stake

Break the news you've had enough
Say the road with me's too rough and hard to steer
Point me away if I'm near
Blame me for pouring your tears
Your tears

I'm the reason you're
Leaving me tired and worse for wear than you were
Believe me when I say
It's making me shudder to think the role that I played

If the words will not come out
If I'm struggling without you with this song
Help me see what's wrong

Slow Engineer

Slow engineer
Take your time
No worry here
I don’t mind
Either way I’ll ride
Watch the years
Pass us by
So close to tears
But it’s fine

Why should I complain
You carry my remains
The burden of the blame
It is hard
It can’t be light
Why should I complain

Slow engineer
Don’t look back
Save your eyes to steer
Rusted tracks
Keep on holding tight
To the wheel
Might as well
Maybe you were right
And time will heal
I can’t tell

Why should I complain
You carry my remains
The burden of the blame
It is hard
It is hard

Why should I complain
You carry my remains
The burden of the blame
It is hard
It can’t be light
So why should I complain

Backbone

•

I want to keep on going
But haven’t got the heart
I need your help to finish, but
I need it from the start

The world should keep on spinning
The cares of one are small
Who am I to think you’re meant to be
Concerned for me at all

‘Cause you would always say to hold
The hand of someone else
You never want to hear the worst
To see it for yourself

Backbone

The thoughts I have meant nothing
Got nothing good to say
I’m blind leading the blind
It’s only leading me astray

The life you think I’m living
Is barely one at all
But I’m fine you needn’t mind me
I keep waving you along

‘Cause you would always say to hold
The hand of someone else
You never want to hear the worst
To see it for yourself

Said that I would come to see
You wanted me to grow
To thank you for the way you only treated me to show

Backbone

Shattered to think I could ask any more
Said I would see that when you’re gone
You scattered like leaves when I needed you most
You’ve always run
You’ve always run

You would always say to hold
The hand of someone else
You never want to hear the worst
To see it for yourself

Said that I would come to see
You wanted me to grow
To thank you for the way you only treated me to show

Crying

•

Fall for you
Why would you let me fall for you
First above all the things I was always scared to do

Carry on
Why would you let me carry on
Thinking your heart was here if the love you felt was gone

Taking off
If you’re taking off and leaving this way

Did I scare you off forever this time
Just ‘cause I’m crying

Come to this
It’s hard to believe it’s come to this
Who would have ever thought I’d come this far to miss

Love to me
Why does it feel like love to me
Like I’m on the edge of what I was always meant to be
Of saying the things I was scared to trying to keep you there

Taking off
If you’re taking off and leaving this way

Breaking off
If you take off and leave

Did I scare you off forever this time
Just ‘cause I’m

Running from the years I lost the way
Coming home in tears that I am streaming for you, babe

The first to show the hand he’s got
Wants to know if you’ll stay or not
I’m still whatever made you fall for me

Did I scare you off forever this time
Just ‘cause I’m crying
’Cause I’m crying
’Cause I’m crying

Did I scare you off forever this time
Just ‘cause I’m crying

The Dark

•

Every other road I've taken someone leads me to walk
Waited for the words I need someone to teach me to talk
Taking other's orders think it's only leaving me lost
Cutting through the cord I think it's better keeping it off

I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh
I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh

Save me from the forces shaking my belief in the laws
They're taking up their torches angering and leading the mob
Don't want to feed into discord and disorder
I think we're finally paying the cost
Don't want to be but we're breaking at the border
We're keeping all the dreamers across

I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh
I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh

I don't feel able like everyone claiming to have any answers at all
Every report is twisted and distorted
United we stand in the fall

I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh
I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh

I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh
I want to be in the dark
Oh, oh, oh

Gimme More

•

Shake it out
I’m heated, feel all defeated you’re flaking out
Breaking out
I mean it, you won’t be seeing me
Begging down on my knees anymore

Say if you’re in love
Won't you say because I need to know it
Say if you’re in love
Won’t you say because I think I’ve blown it

Don’t wanna feel what I’m feeling for you
Don’t wanna start all my gears here for you
Don’t understand what you’re waiting for
Gimme more
Gimme more

Cracking up
I’ll be it soon as I see that we’re packing up
Back it up
I need it, keep on repeating it
Chasing what I was chasing before

Say if you’re in love
Won't you say because I need to know it
Say if you’re in love
Won’t you say because I think I’ve blown it

Don’t wanna feel what I’m feeling for you
Don’t wanna start all my gears here for you
Don’t understand what you’re waiting for
Gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme more

Don’t wanna feel what I’m feeling for you
Don’t wanna start all my gears here for you
Don’t understand what you’re waiting for
Gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme more

Dearly Departed

•

I thought I'd be good with you gone
The memories would fade before long
Plenty of other good fish in the sea, I bet

I thought I'd get used to the pain
But all I can speak is your name
Barely a thought for the wreck you would leave, I guess

Am I as wrong as you?
Say if you need me too
Am I so far away that you feel I left?
I can not believe that

Take back the way we parted
Get back the flame we started
Dearly beloved, say that we won't become
So dearly departed

I thought I could push you away
It's harder to do than to say
Maybe you're gone but you're never as far as I wish
I thought I could live like before
But can't find the strength anymore
When every thought's just a memory of things I miss

Am I as wrong as you?
Say if you need me too
Am I so far away that you feel I left?
I can not believe that

Take back the way we parted
Get back the flame we started
Dearly beloved, say that we won't become
So dearly departed

All I wanted was some time
To gather my things when you left me
It's so unfair of me but I'm
Trying to be near if you let me

Just say if you're lonely
Don't ask me to leave
'Cause I'm there if you wondered
Whatever that means

Am I as wrong as you?
Say if you need me too
Am I so far away that you feel I left?
I can not believe that

Take back the way we parted
Get back the flame we started
Dearly beloved, say that we won't become
So dearly departed
So dearly departed
So dearly departed

Take back the way we parted
Get back the flame we started
Dearly beloved, say that we won't become
So dearly departed

Working on a Plan

•

I can't understand how to start it up
Only just starting to pick it up
Only just finding the gears here
But how do I steer this
Where do we go

I can't understand why I'm not in love
Don't mean to start like I'm tripping but, baby
Maybe I'm slow for my years here
But pardon my fears
I'm getting to know

I cannot follow the path you're on
I cannot find any better
I cannot fault you
I need you
I need you
How could I ever leave a woman like that

But I'm working on a plan
Just wait till I start
You'll know it the moment I'm speaking straight from the heart
But can you imagine
Can you believe what that'd start
It's better to never know

I can't understand why I'm not enough
Can't be hard as I'm thinking of, baby
Maybe I'm over my ears here
Just pardon my tears
I'm letting them go

I cannot follow the path you're on
I cannot find any better
I cannot fault you
I need you
I need you
How could I ever leave a woman like that

But I'm working on a plan
Just wait till I start
You'll know it the moment I'm speaking straight from the heart
But can you imagine
Can you believe what that'd start
It's better to never know

Whenever you want me, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
Whenever you want me, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
Whenever you want me, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
Whenever you want me, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to go

Just working on a plan
Just working on a plan
Just working on a plan

Falling In Love

•

Just before we met I was as low as you can get
It's like your love's the light that I have longed to see
But once I let you in I've got to learn that in the end
You're not the one that I have built you up to be

If it helps you take to heart
The words of those who say
That love is hell 'cause I am bitter from defeat
Take it or leave it

Am I falling in love to only
Say I'm falling in love

Why should we pretend if we are speeding toward the end
To me it's not the life that I intend to lead
'Cause after we commit it will be harder to admit if it
Is every bit as bad as I believe

If it helps you take to heart
The words of those who say
That love is hell 'cause I am bitter from defeat
Take it or leave it

Am I falling in love to only
Say I'm falling in love
Can I promise and know I'll be honest
When the day for honesty comes

Hard to believe I would ever
Hard to believe I could ever be
All this waiting forever
Falling for you

Am I falling in love to only
Say I'm falling in love
Can I promise and know I'll be honest
When the day for honesty comes

I Need This

•

What do I chase
Locked in this place
Burning the days that I do
Walking around
Pacing this ground
Calling your name after you

Am I calling you just because I need this
I need this to never end like all of the others
I need this
I need this

Why do I stay
Nothing you say
Returns me the days of my youth
I'm lost or I'm found
Safe here and sound
Or falling in flames if I move

Am I calling you just because
I need this
I need this to never end like all of the others
I need this
I need this love
I need this love

Show me the light
Say if I'll ever stand in a world that feels so far away
Show me tonight
It's now or never
I need this love

Am I calling you just because
I need this
I need this to never end like all of the others
I need this
I need this to never end like all of the others
I need this
I need this to never end like all of the others
I need this
I need this love

The Fall of Rome

•

Smoke it if you got some
Get in while the getting is good
Show your claws, you need ‘em ‘cause
You feel misunderstood
So your heart is beating, it’s bleeding that’s good
No one cares, why should they
You don’t for theirs

Upset with the outcome
Nothing works whatever you give
Show them wrong, keep holding on,
And scream into the wind
It’s only your defeat that you meet in the end
No one cares, no one cares

Every song I’ve learned to sing’s already old
Time turned all the reasons into dust

What’s forever in the morning is
Not together in the gloam
Tell me I’m not living in the fall of Rome

Shake it while you got one
Use it ‘cause you’re losing it fast
On and on it’s going, gone,
And fades into the past
No one knows your history, your meaning is lost
No one cares, no one cares

Every song I’ve learned to sing’s already old
Time turned all the reasons into dust

What’s forever in the morning is
Not together in the gloam
Tell me I’m not living in the fall of Rome

Did I fall asleep?
How’d the days and the weeks slip away?
So the cowards won
They’ll ask in the flood
Oh, won’t you please come pinch me awake!

Tell me I’m not living in
Tell me I’m not living in
Tell me I’m not living in

What's forever in the morning's not together when you want
Tell me I’m not living in the what

Tell me I’m not living in the fall of Rome

Time of War

•

Give me one reason to stay here
Why not just say it
I've been thinking no one can save us no more
Think I might even just lay here
Hide out and wait for someone braver
Cause I can't face anymore

Live it up
Wanna make this life worth living
But see the world crumbling down and giving up

Cause we are living in a time of war
Someone police the ones in charge
Our leaders are the criminals at large
We're living in
We're living in

I'm burning out hearing this hate
Tired of all this blaming others
Certain it's only making me numb
I'm giving too little too late
Fighting all the same corruption
Certain destruction is saving me from

Live it up
Wanna make this life worth living
But see the world crumbling down and giving up

Cause we are living in a time of war
Someone police the ones in charge
Our leaders are the criminals at large
We're living in
We're living in

Cause we are living in a time of war
No one believes a word of ours
We're angry and we're shaking at the bars
We're living in
We're living in

Can't believe that we thought it would last forever
I can see where it's starting to crack
We're falling, falling, falling
Divided by fear and on the attack
Now more than ever, ever, ever before

Cause we are living in a time of war
Someone police the ones in charge
Our leaders are the criminals at large
We're living in
We're living in

Cause we are living in a time of war
No one believes a word of ours
We're angry and we're shaking at the bars
We're living in
We're living in
