I tried looking away from the crash but it happened fast Felt that turning the page on the past was a lot to ask 2x Day after day, along the way I never doubted you If you never knew Making a case cause you can of a well made plan Had me changing my p ace and my plan upon understanding Year after year, without any fear I never doubted you Day after day, along the way I never doubted you doubted you If you never knew Be fore I tried looking away from the crash but it happened fast Found that turning t he page on the past Begged to ask Are you on the right path? on the right path

Falling 03:14
You know the answers often depend on if and what you know who and when have you heard the latest story i'm not trying to offend” i'm never falling for that again Who was responsible for keeping the score? I'm off the hook I lost the keys to the store Nothing last forever but i always wanted more feels like i'm falling that's for sure Its a feeling that goes on and on You know its right when you can't be wrong Its a story that you can believe but not always something you can see The more we're changing the more we're the same like watching water overwhelming the drain and playing broken records and then playing them again like anybody was listening in Its a feeling that goes on and on you know its right when you can't be wrong Its a story that you can believe but not always something you can see I risked my life cause it was good for my health I'd rather leave the house than live with myself and climb the highest mountain to see another view That's when i realized I'm falling for you That's when i realized i'm falling for you I think i'm falling, falling for you

Running late cause the road was rough On the way i lost my touch Out of time with nowhere to run I worry that i didn't do enough Chased away, pushed and shoved I'm always coming back cause I'm a fool for love I had a dream and it was so for real I had to beg I had to steal Wanted more but took too much I have a fear of being strong enough Make a push don't rush to judge You got me coming back cause im a fool for love solo Chased away, pushed and shoved Another summer's past and I'm a fool for love Lay awake through the storm above The daybreak and the moment of victory in the morning sun Made too much of being good enough Nothing changes, it never does Another summer's past and I'm a fool for love 2x A fool for love 4x

wonder what happened wonder what for giving up one for another could leave you wanting for more it's hard to remember so hard to ignore without a fight it will happen every night and then sweep it under the door try to recover try to restore you had us all seeing double and used the path that was worn so easy to buckle so easily sworn with all of your might do it cause its right and then find out what it was for Maybe you were lookin to find your home and maybe you never made it brave enough to go it alone did somebody try to shake them rattlin bones undercover under the gun i didn't know how to use it its hard to tell if we won waltzing matilda waltzing the floor floated away lost it in the haze found it out in the storm Maybe you were lookin to find your home and maybe you never made it brave enough to go it alone did somebody try to shake them rattlin bones did somebody try to break them rattlin bones

If you settle up then you have to go when you leave all i know is the road is filled with holes and empty promises By a simple act or twist of fate with a lucky break could come a change and the whole story is told through fading memories Long lost fables found on sacred ground The bells were ringing That's what the singing was all about We can start a new just you and me without a doubt i do believe I can see a future free of broken promises Mic thru cable made a fabled sound The words and the story sung for the glory both clear and loud Long lost fables stood on stable ground The bells were ringing that's what the singing was all about On a bed of nails you made me wait Sets of facts stacked like plates were saved to carry the weight of fading memories 'til we reach the top and look down below History is gonna show that the road was littered with gold and filled with promises3x

Now that i found what i like Free as a bird, flying on my bike I was a runaway wrecking ball Headed straight into the wall I was fast and without fear The time was past and the coast was clear I had to go when i heard the call We have to get over the wall 2x At high noon They found you on the ground The strange thing All of my daydreams End at the peak Without a climb Unable to reverse I was fast and without fear The time was past the coast was clear I had too go when i heard the call We have to get over the wall 2x I was blinded by the light In the distance were the welcome signs l wanna see what the others saw who got over the wall 2x Over the wall, whoa oh oh oh

Make Believe 04:09
Here we go with heart and soul finally up to speed In control dug a hole watched it grow from seed Can't stop anything when it wants to move Be it make believe or if its really true Warring signs in peaceful times never mind the view No common sense in arguments when everyone's confused Why say anything or offer any proof? It's all make believe or isn't really true? You gotta be strong we knew it all along Yeeeaaah! Tell me how long, until we move along Yeeeaaaah!!Yeeeaaah! Everyday a new debate no one changing tune Hard to tell you're doing well when you sing the blues Why do anything, either win or lose Be it make believe or if its really true You gotta be strong knew it all along Yeeeaaah!(yeah, yeah, yeah) Tell me how long, until we move along Yeeeaaah! (yeah, yeah, yeah) If I was wrong, gotta move along Yeeeaaaah!!(yeah, yeah, yeah) Gotta be strong, knew it all along Yeeeaaaah!!Yeeeaaah! Stand alone tuck and roll just beyond belief Falling down, turned around, headed out to sea Why say any thing or offer any proof Is it make believe or is it really true? Can't stop anything when it wants to move Be it make believe or if its really true Is it make believe, whoa, whoa oh It's all make believe or isn't really true?

Start ringing the bell I tripped and i fell Ran around with out my shell But covered it well Crawled under a fence Ego on the mend I know you told me how this could end but Tell me again With hammer and nails, hammer and nails Chasing my tail hammer and nails, hammer and nails Chasing my tail Determined to fail Since taking a dive been learning to fly The turnaround was so inspired Good morning, goodnight Flew over the moon The story is true Celebrate don't sing the blues Whatever you do With hammer and nails, hammer and nails Chasing my tail hammer and nails, hammer and nails Chasing my tail Determined to fail Since taking a dive been learning to fly The story is true Flew over the moon

Imitation 03:02
Oh to be so unaware Always thought you knew Yet again truth depends on how you take the news Its the time, the time between that the part thats killing me Don't be an imitation of yourself Throw your hands in the air like you always do The only way to cure the blues is sing 'em tried and true And if at first you don't succeed a second chance could set you free Don't be an imitation of yourself Make no excuses doors will open if you dare What the use is, why would anybody care You always said that this was neither here not there and nothing's really fair Does anybody care? That nothing's really fair Try to find meaning can be the hardest thing to do Winning moments never last Someone has to lose Its the time, the time between that the part thats killing me Don't be an imitation of yourself And if at first you do concede a second chance could set you free Don't be an imitation, don't be an imitation I'm not an imitation of myself

Danger 03:37
Tell me what you want to do Say it clear and steer toward the truth Authoring a fable tried to turn the table without the burden of proof All this time i should have known A rhyme will find the perfect tone The signal was strong Nothing else was wrong I was hoping you would answer the phone Normally i'm home I like to be alone but maybe Take me with you when you go Promise me that we'll find danger Bouncing off of satellites Nothing near it was clear we'd spend the night Singing older songs 'til new ones come along and I was hoping you would send me a sign Normally im home Feeling kinda low lately Take me with you when you go but promise me Promise me that we'll find danger Shelter me from all of the anger Everywhere we go Saw you on the avenue It appears it's weird but i never knew There will come a day youth will fade away I hope it's not coming too soon There will come a day be not afraid I hope it's not coming too soon 2x
