1.
See the man, see the star of life Hear the waves, as the day replaces night Blurring out of sight See the cameras that pan the scene Casting light off the Utah horns and keys Lying next to me

Impact 04:10
Everything must end but how could you? No one can escape the final cue Will all that I have loved be left behind? If we meet again, along the line Then I don’t mind I don’t mind Gravity and force decide our fate
 They impact here upon the palisades A memory of your hand it comes to mind Thinking of the way it folds in mine We need more time Is there a way out? Is there a way out of here? Is there a way out? Is there a way out of here? Let me know Is that light shining on my face, where we go? Memories flash, time slows, as we wait, the stories told There’s a child waving, always safe, the garden grows God I know I will find a way, if there’s a way out If there’s a way out, a way out If there’s a way out of here
3.
Flashdance 04:03
Say if it’s too late Is there a time and place? In a vacant sea With words you’d never speak You’re all I knew The first I knew/It’s all do new You’re the ghost I hope to see Will we ever meet? Floating endlessly Or does the ground beneath Hold us selfishly? You’re all I knew It’s all so new You’re the ghost I hope to see We’re not over when we alter It feels so cold just say you’ll come for me Say you’ll come for me
4.
Settle 04:37
They don’t like the way we ride To make it home, we race the night Back to the place we thought we knew Now every night I swear I’ll see it through Without belief from you You sit in judgment of a life That is not yours; you have no right But I don’t blame you for your view The system’s claimed you, now you’re Trained to do That which is approved Settle, settle Everybody wants to but you won’t Settle, settle Does my freedom remind you, of what you held only in youth? You tell yourself that I’m confused Yet every night I swear I’ll see it through For I believe, I choose Settle, settle Everybody wants to but you won’t Settle, settle Now I don’t want to know Don’t tell me where to go Tell me, who are you to tell them how? Tell me, who are you to tear them down? Tell me who are you? Yeah who the hell are you?
5.
The Fire 03:34
Be my guide and show the way I’m in the tide I can’t escape The first night we shared a bed Your hands resting on my head Better days you made me see How you made me once believe In the fire me Thinking distance eases pain We give in the easy way So now we sleep in separate rooms Deepen self-inflicted wounds It feels like we’re wasting time Feel the questions grow inside They’ll be better days ahead If only you could see There’s a fire in me
6.
Celebrate 03:39
We don’t miss the indecision We don’t miss the fear of truth We don’t miss the wars between us We don’t miss the weight of you Oh we were lied to, hell we make We celebrate you either way The complications that we face They’ll be no one remembering you We won’t miss the anxious feelings When you groaned We won’t miss the sound of sighs We won’t miss the endless fight No I won’t miss the guilt you thrown around This is not a home No I won’t miss the weight we’ve towed Oh we were lied to, hell we make We celebrate you either way The complications that we face We were meant to rise above where you decay They’ll be no one remembering you We rise Yeah we were meant to rise above where you decay
7.
And I woke up calmly Spent a whole hour shaking I wouldn't let them let me go I got ten more minutes before I'm gone I couldn't let them let me go I got ten more minutes before I'm gone, away She won't like it when I'm right He won't like it when I'm right She won't like it when I'm right More and more I’m unsure And I woke up wondering Spent a lifetime shaking I won't let them let me go I got ten more minutes before I'm gone I can't let them let me go I got ten more minutes before I'm gone, I’m gone He won't like it if I'm right She won't like it if I'm right They won't like it if I'm right More and more I’m unsure Please. No. More. Time.
8.
Ivy 03:13
Wake up and walk by the TV See the world change with my eyes Hours after, there’s no use calling To know at all we’d have to drive We saw the lights, heading back to find Just say your safe tonight And on the bridge that passes Ivy Over trains I heard her cry She was frightened and I was frozen Did she get to say goodbye As we fled north, up 95 They came to find Love say your safe tonight On two lights they climb, fallen souls now shown the way
9.
In Stereo 04:48
You know I’ve been waiting It feels for too long You say it’s worth saving But I don’t know if I’m that strong No I won’t wait For you to wait Tonight we find a way You don’t have to bend, we’ve been alone so long though You don’t have to bend now we’re alone Yeah we’ll find a way A way Out in the dark we can escape The stereo is all that’s glowing There’s not a light on fantasy drive The tape plays what I’ve recorded Can’t fast forward or rewind No I won’t wait For you to wait Tonight we find a way You don’t have to bend, we’ve been alone so long though You don’t have to bend now we’re alone Now you’ve got to wear that torn dress home Tonight I swear we were made to be alone Yeah we’ll find a way Even though all the doors are locked we’ll find a way You’re the one I believe that has helped to see the man I would want to become How you help when you lift, I am hopeless, adrift Where the heat meets the cold we are one When they ask to explain all the choices we made Let them know this where we began When I see you tonight I’m alive, I’m alive I’m alive when you come in Don’t let them force you they can never hold you in Don’t let them force you for they fear when we’ll begin I want to see you in the rain Out in the dark we can escape

September 03:56
Just thought I’d call you up this Monday night, while I had time I know it’s been too long since I spoke with you Sometimes I have to work straight through the night to get by Oh how I miss the lazy nights of June On woodland road On woodland road Starting over is proving harder than I thought, it’s a fight I walk around with eyes blackened and bruised I’m making my escape home Call the crew like old times We’ll be singing “Jungleland” up to the moon On woodland road Say you’re coming home again Say you’re coming home again On woodland road Just thought I’d call you up this Monday night
11.
Legends 03:53
Seems like fun we'd make in these moments No one knew it change our lives At times it felt like it had been broken But keeping faith we held on tight And when we play downtown We’ll watch our sins fall on the floor These thin walls knew all our first lines But quick to tell we'd wish to hide It wasn't long till our first time Nervous hands unveil what we'd write They'd never know All we'd risk and throw, to the wind Aint it crazy how things turn out as they do You and I both know that I, I was always meant for you The different names we were called, they gave us a chance to prove May your heart always reside in the golden hours of youth But when we go downtown We knew that soon we would feel alright Aint it crazy how things turn out like they do You and I both know that I, I was always meant for you All the different names we were called by those who knew May your heart always reside in the dancing days of youth You and I both know that I, I was always meant for you

Passengers 05:32
See the man, see the star of life Hear the waves, as the day replaces night Blurring out of sight See the cameras that pan the scene Casting light off the Utah horns and keys Lying next to me Feel the pull, feel the sense of flight Hear the voices, a calling, an invite Hear the song in white See my friends, see the bridge beneath High above where the Hudson crosses street Feels sublime and free Everyday and every night That I fall down It feels like flying under rain Feel the family the memories saved See the lights of the skyline they have made All you’d never trade Feel at home, feel a warm embrace Of all the ones you had lost, or been misplaced Feel the calming grace Everyday and every night That I fall down It feels like flying under rain The last of the days that I held with you Were spent in the pain of all our miscues The winters we’d spend recovering cold The last words we said but how could we know The existence of the lives we forget we have seen How I dream of an age where you’re walking with me Of all the places and people we knew The moments I shared in the presence of you I will miss
