Pull Down The Sun
03:06

We saw the summer fly by
We'll gather as the sky turns brown
We'll talk about the weather
And whatever in the day's got us down
Let's start the fire, keep the skeeters at bay
Turn up the sound, eat our worries away
Let's look to the west
Tune out the rest of the world
Who cares what they'll say?
For just one moment, I hesitate
Where will this lead me in ten years will I regret what I've done?
But as seasons change, time moves on
It's us who remain
So we'll dance through the night
Let the fire burn bright and lift the smoke away
Pull down the sun, and we'll set the day ablaze
Hear our song take flight and let us be
And as our spirits shine bright
We'll feel the rhythm as the night moves on
Forget about the patter
'Cause what matters is delaying the dawn
Let's grab a drink, dance our worries away
Bring on the autumn air; tonight we're here to stay
No room for regret
'Cause don't forget we threw out
The light of day
For just one moment, I hesitate
Where will this lead me in ten years will I regret what I've done?
But as seasons change, time moves on
It's us who remain
So we'll dance through the night
Let the moon shine bright and clear our woes away
Pull down the sun, and we'll set the night ablaze
Hear our song take flight and know we'll be OK

Your Azure Eyes
03:33
|

|
Sometimes I wish that I could fly
Go far from this place
I'd spread my wings, take to the sky
And fly
Sometimes I wish that I would die
Fade nameless into black
I just don't want to say goodbye
But I can't stop looking back
Rain keeps crawling down the glass
Close your eyes and let it fall
Let it wash away the past
Fade away
As I watch your azure eyes turn (gray)
Westward up into the sky
And toward the setting sun
I hate to see you hurt and cry
So I fly
Yeah I can run and I can hide
Abandon all I know
The storm stays right here by my side
No matter where I go
Rain keeps crawling down the glass
Close your eyes and let it fall
Let it wash away the past
Fade away
As I watch your azure eyes turn gray
If you can see just where I'm coming from
You would see a darkened sky
The world looks better when you're falling
Flying high, but there's only one way you can go
I don't want to say goodbye
But I guess I'll have to say goodbye
Sometimes I wish that I could fly
Go far from this place
I'd spread my wings, take to the sky
But there's something I should face
Rain keeps crawling down the glass
Close your eyes and let it fall
Let it wash away the past
Fade away
As I watch your azure eyes turn gray

I Wish I Loved You
04:47

When I first met you, you always made me smile
We'd browse the record store, talking all the while
But on that night when you opened your heart
Was I just being shy?
Or did I tell us both a lie?
It's far too easy to go through the motions
A spark that I pretend to see
When I do nothing to betray that notion
But then you tell me
Three little words
I wish that I could hold your hand
And never break your heart
I wish that I could say three little words
Instead I fall apart
I wish that I could walk on down the aisle
And hear you say, "I do"
I wish I was your one
I wish I loved you
I bought you flowers as a small surprise
I thought they'd make you smile and complement your eyes
In three weeks' time, will they shrivel and wilt?
Will their end arrive?
Or will they keep their color?
Were they ever really alive?
It's far too easy to go through the motions
A spark that I pretend to see
When I do nothing to betray that notion
Until you tell me
Three little words
I wish that I could hold your hand
And never break your heart
I wish that I could say three little words
Instead I fall apart
I wish that I could walk on down the aisle
And know I'll say, "I do"
I wish I was your one
I wish I loved you
It's far too easy to go through the motions
It's not your fault that I'm afraid to die alone
You know I care about you
And that's why I can't be the one
To live by your side
I wish that I could hold your hand
And tell you how I feel
I wish that I could look you in your eyes
And have my words be real
I wish that I could stay here by your side
I really swear I do
But I know I'm not your one
'Cause I wish I loved you

Ten Years
02:51
|

|
It's been a while since I've been clear
There's little I can remember
The blurry haze of passing days
And next thing I know I'm wide awake
I had a dream that I held dear
There's little I can remember
A wandering truth, the fires of youth
And after I blink, that's ten years gone
I know, shame on me for growing older
I'll go quietly; the years grow colder
It's been a while that I've been gone
Since we had spoke that November
And through our screens, we shared our dreams
And after the snow you're all alone
I'm not surprised that you moved on
I knew that you won't remember
It's been a while since I've seen you smile
And just 'cause I blinked, you're ten years older
No, I haven't lost my way
And I swear I'm here to stay
I'll keep going on my own
It's all I know
And I know, shame on me for growing older
I'll go quietly; the years grow colder
We grow, we drift away, you keep improving
The snow here to stay 'cause I stopped moving
It's been a while since I've been clear
There's nothing there to remember

Rain
03:13

Can you hear the thunder start to roll?
A burst of lightning, a flash of inspiration
Can you hear the thunder start to call?
Can you feel the rain begin to fall?
Can you feel the silence of it all?
Can you feel the moments start to crawl?
And I feel fine
Surrender myself when the storm arrives
'Cause it feels good to be reminded that I'm alive
I wanna feel the rain pull me down
I wanna feel the pain all around
Let it soak me to the bone
Let it wash away the world 'til I'm all alone
Let the rain come on down and remind me that I'm still alive
Can you hear the thunder breaking free?
Free from lightning, free from everything
Can you hear my heart skip a beat?
I won't let this moment pass me by
Counting every raindrop leave the sky
Each a reason I'm afraid to die
And I feel fine
Surrender myself when the storm arrives
'Cause it feels good to be reminded that I'm alive
I wanna feel the rain pull me down
I wanna feel the pain all around
Let it soak me to the bone
Let it wash away the world 'til I'm all alone
Let the rain come on down and remind me that I'm still alive
(Rain, pull me down)
(I wanna feel the pain all around)
Woah woah woah
(I wanna feel the rain pull me down)
Can you feel the rain begin to fall?
Can you feel the thunder start to call?

November
05:25

The trees ablaze with reds and oranges whisper to the wind
They sing their secrets; can you hear them?
The clouds respond with vacant tears as we leave the trees behind
They promise fortunes far from home
The days grow numb
It's time to wrap up, everybody
The days grow glum
With warm smiles in every window
A storm of stark desire shouts its pain from up above
Its words only hurt you if you heed them
The day has come to cast aside all that you've come to know
And forge ahead through the wind and the thunder
The days grow numb
It's time to wrap up, everybody
The days grow glum
With warm smiles in every window
The days grow numb
It's time to wrap up, everybody
The days grow glum
With warm smiles in every window
As we run on through the leaves, we leave our tears behind
The trees have their secrets; can you hear them?
The sky is gray with hopes and dreams that will leave you all alone
So drop your burdens when you've come home
(Remember)
The days grow numb
It's time to wrap up, everybody
(Remember)
The days grow glum
With warm smiles in every window
(Remember)
The days grow numb
(Our fires are naught just but embers)
(We'd help but if we could remember)
It's time to wrap up, everybody
(There's nothing to do but surrender)
(And wait for the next year's November)
(Remember)
The days grow glum
(Our fires are naught just but embers)
(We'd help but if we could remember)
With warm smiles in every window
(There's nothing to do but surrender)
(And wait for the next year's November)

Autumn Air
03:45
|
|||
|
When the sun falls down, and the wind blows through the trees
Emblazoned in the sunset, leaves float free
To the birds up high and the summer days in kind
Won't you spare another thought for those you left behind?
Though the sun sets low and becomes another dawn
Heedless of the winter time moves on
Days grow short, and colors fade to gray
People start to bundle up and hide themselves away
But I just burst out into song
'Cause fire feels better
In frightful weather
And I can never deny
That I know nothing can go wrong
When the wind starts stinging
It gets me singing
It makes me feel alive
When the sun falls down
When the autumn air grows cold
And there're no bluebirds to be found
When the leaves turn brown
There's a numbness in the air
And empty branches all around
But I just burst out into song
'Cause fire feels better
In frightful weather
And I can never deny
That I know nothing can go wrong
When the wind starts stinging
It gets me singing
'Cause I'm just brimming
With this fiery feeling
I'm beginning
To truly start living
It makes me feel alive
When the moon flies high, and there's no-one left around
Shimmering in the streetlights, snow comes down
Night grows long, and colors hide away
Breathing in the winter air, I close my eyes and say
Goodbye
