1. CHASING COLOR

I see the world in blues and greys,
But im chasing color
Maybe I’ll find it one day

All I wanted is to be
Something better
So why can’t I just make the change

If this is all that you can give,
This is all that I can take
Have we found our stalemate?

Don’t make me wait
This patience thins
This restless mind, this emptiness
Your silence makes a sound
It rings, it’s ringing now
It rings out

Well I watched my world fade
From chasing color.
It comes as no surprise to me

So if happiness is a place
Just around the corner,
Will it ever make my reach?

If this is all that you can give
This is all that i can take
Have we found our stalemate?

Don’t make me wait
This patience thins
This restless mind, this emptiness
Your silence makes a sound
It rings, it’s ringing now
It rings out


2. GHOSTS

I seem to be a puzzle piece
That fits but blurs the scene
How can you be
The antidote but still you make me weak
I fall in love with ghosts,
Its easier than you think

Wake up, it’s 5:15 put on your clothes the subways waiting
Wake up it was just a dream,
Another night of wishful thinking
But maybe we can meet in the middle of reality
And where we could be, yeah
But even if it’s only a little,
I’m gonna stretch it thin,
Till it covers me

So say goodnight then I’ll let you go
Back to a world where I don’t belong
Tell me how to make this half a whole
Tell me how I’m gonna shake this
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I fall in love with ghosts,
I fall in love with ghosts

If you turn this page in your book
Bend the corner back so you remember when,
The world stood still
And was kind enough to let us linger
But maybe we can meet in the middle of reality
And where we could be
But even if it’s only a little,
I’m gonna stretch it thin,
Till it covers me

So say goodnight then I’ll let you go
Back to a world where I don’t belong
Tell me how to make this half a whole
Tell me how I’m gonna shake this
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I fall in love with ghosts,
I fall in love with…

I hear your whisper then you drift away
Oh Oh Oh
Only in pictures will I see your face
No Oh Oh
If there’s a road marked from A to B
Would you find it,
And come back to me

So say goodnight then I’ll let you go
Back to a world where I don’t belong
Tell me how to make this half a whole
Tell me how I’m gonna shake this
Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I fall in love with


3. DARKNESS INTO DAY

Let the big city sweep you away,
I’ll keep singing
Bout a life I can’t escape
The one you’re leaving
And if the bright lights keep you awake
Know I’m dreaming
Of the nights we spent
Watching dark turn into day

I never thought this bitter heart
Would melt so easy
But you caught me by surprise
And got me thinking
That maybe everything in life
Has got a reason
Cause I watched you turn
My darkness into day


And I’ve been here before
But its different
And I lost myself in search of this
Now I’m losing you, and I
Don’t know what to say
And you don’t know what to think,
So we let it fade.

I guess this time that we shared
Was but a season
The only pattern to my life
Seems to be changes
And I know I don’t have the right to be disappointed
Cause I watched you turn
My darkness into day

And I’ve been here before
But its different
And I lost myself in search of this
Now I’m losing you and I
Don’t know what to say
And you don’t know what to think

I wish I had met you years ago
I could have used more time with such a gentle soul
But if I had met you years ago
Would you still be someone I know
I wish you had met me years ago because I was better then

And I’ve been here before
But its different
And I lost myself in search of this
Now I’m losing you and I
Don’t know what to say
And you don’t know what to think,
So we let it fade.


4. AN ISLAND NOW

Breathe easy love you’ve made it now
Stand tall and proud on your rusty bow
No the sight of land won’t let you down
When the fog has cleared,
I’m an island now

I was blind to think you’d always be
Bold enough to stay close to me
When the rain came down you were washed away
I’m an island now in the open sea

But its ok
Cause I fall asleep with dignity
And you’re safe,
Cause you filled the hole before it was empty
And I can write you off,
But give me back my faith in love

Should I wait for you I don’t think I should
You didn’t wait for me when I thought you would
And if your colors change with the tides I fear
I’m an island now
You were never here

But its ok
Cause I fall asleep with dignity
And you’re safe,
Cause you filled the hole before it was empty
And I can write you off,
But give me back my faith in love

And oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh…

But its ok
Cause I fall asleep with dignity
And you’re safe,
Cause you filled the hole before it was empty
And I can write you off..

I thought I heard bells but I confused the sound
I am sorry love,
I’m an island now.


5. STREETS OF GOLD

I just do what I’m told,
And hope that the words from these pages can save my soul
I just do what I’m told,
So I close my eyes and imagine these streets of gold

Tell me how you can see
What it is you see
Cause maybe then i could believe,
In the in-between

I’ve spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world I could never explain
I don’t try anymore like I did
I’m just doing the best that i can

I just do what I’m told,
The doctors hang over my body while speaking in tongues
I just do what I’m told,
So I let them poison my veins so that I can grow old

Well im old enough now I can see
That time doesn’t change a thing
We’re all piecing together a dream
We’ve never seen

I’ve spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world I could never explain
I don’t try anymore like I did
I’m just doing the best that I can

I just do what im told
We just do what were told

I’ve spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world I could never explain
I don’t try anymore like I did

I’ve spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world i could never explain
I don’t try anymore like I did
I dont try anymore I once did
I’m just doing the best that I can


6. ALL THE LINES ERASED

I’m running out of space
I’m running out of space
So meet me where we first began,
So I can walk away

All the lines erased
All the lines erased
The beauty and the ignorance we shared
Is washed away

Emptiness is peace
Emptiness is peace
When there’s nothing left to wonder with,
It’s then when I am free

But now that you are gone
Now that you are gone
I’ve never loved, I’ve never lost
Not a moment wasted on
Not a moment wasted on


7. BARCELONA

Take my hand,
I’m tired of this constant shade
Into the light of day
Is where we should be

I see the weight you bare
Darlin, I know that it ain’t fair.
So give some to me
So give some to me

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I’m chasing a lonely dream
When you’re not next to me
I can’t find the words

I’ve made plans
To get us away from here
I’ll take you across the sea
Maybe to Spain

The salty air
Reminds me of younger days
Then I turn and see your face
I’m so glad you are here

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I’m chasing a lonely dream
When you’re not next to me
I can’t find the words
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
It’s taking its toll on me
Your pulse is my melody
Your gift is my curse

And I can see in your eyes you’re afraid
But I’d never gamble this love that we’ve made

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I can’t find the words

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I’m chasing a lonely dream
When you’re not next to me
I can’t find the words
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
It’s taking its toll on me
Your pulse is my melody
Your gift is my curse
