Roll

you said tell me
did i know my name?
well i didnt answer
on that sunny day.
through the window,
i watched them cars go by.
a blurry figure
taught me how to fly.
Well I'm still here
You can't bring me down
So I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll
shockwaves,
like lightning through my brain.
i opened my eyes,
not in the same place.
through the window
the white coats walked on by.
i closed my eyes and
imagined i could fly.
Well I'm still here
You can't bring me down
So I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll
ringing
vibrations through my mind.
one crazy eyelid
hiding pain behind.
through the window,
i watched the others dance.
thinking one day,
i might have that chance
Well I'm still here
You can't bring me down
So I'm gonna roll
I'm gonna roll

Bottles
03:08
|

|
emotions torn asunder
as the clouds they dropped
another dose of rain.
like paper to a poet
there's no such thing
as unfamiliar pain
listen while i sing
The storm came at night
and carried on through my days.
I still don't know what
you wanted me to say.
Let's watch these stars as they fade.
We'll through bottles in the ocean,
watch them drift away.
the letters that you wrote to me
a couple times a week, every day,
they sat there on the table
cause you know
i can't hear you anyway.
listen while i sing.
The storm came at night
and carried on through my days.
I still don't know what
you wanted me to say.
Let's watch these stars as they fade.
We'll through bottles in the ocean,
watch them drift away.
well i've been waiting for you
its the
one thing that i swore i would never do.
oh ive been waiting for you.
but you let me down again
The storm came at night
and carried on through my days.
I still don't know what
you wanted me to say.
Let's watch these stars as they fade.
We'll through bottles in the ocean,
watch them drift away.

Home
04:04
|
|||
|
days go by like clouds in a
bright blue sky.
the colors of what we make.
well time cant control
our fate.
Home may be many places
but it will
always have you and me.
We'll follow these rivers
and one day float down to the sea.
sun will shine
like filters through both our minds.
the waves take a gentle sway.
hand in mine,
we'll float away
Home may be many places
but it will
always have you and me.
We'll follow these rivers
and one day float down to the sea.
so hold me tight.
forever's a long goodnight.
together we'll
face the stars.
two rivers,
one beating heart.
Home may be many places
but it will
always have you and me.
We'll follow these rivers
and one day float down to the sea.

The Illusion
03:52
|
|||
|
surrounded by
the world that i see.
i'm always trying to live the dream
thats out of reach.
hustling for dollar bills
and trying to get by
but we're all a little too broke
and a little too high.
I said
brother man can you help me?
They say I got my head stuck in the clouds.
He said boy
what they'll never tell you
is you wont get far with your feet on the ground
one step forward and
one step back.
feeling mighty fine,
just a little off track.
so pass me the bottle as i
roll around.
i gotta build myself up before
you bring me back down
brother man can you help me?
They say I got my head stuck in the clouds.
He said boy
what they'll never tell you
is you wont get far with your feet on the ground.
Sometimes you gotta
start your own revolution.
Sometimes you gotta
be your own change.
Well we
live in a world of illusion
in constant fear of what people will say.

Hand in Hand
03:49

never thought i'd be lucky enough
to feel the way i feel about you.
no matter the weather,
as long as we're together
our skies will always be blue.
theres no limit to where we can go.
grab your keys and we'll open some doors.
Have you ever wondered
if its a sign?
That your hand fits perfectly into mine.
There's no time or no distance
to tear us apart.
You're the only one that has my heart.
so grab my hand
lets see where we land.
oh this ride's got a beautiful view.
baby i swear
that this game's winning pair
would have to be me and you.
theres no limit to where we can go.
grab your keys and we'll open some doors.
Have you ever wondered
if its a sign?
That your hand fits perfectly into mine.
There's no time or no distance
to tear us apart.
You're the only one that has my heart.

i need to get away
from here.
because i can't take this
no more.

reach for the stars.
to see who we are.
cause thats all we have.
Raining down on me.
Raining down on me.
Sometimes it feels like its
hard to breathe.
When it keeps raining,
down on me.
whoa now.
these times are getting harder.
we'll have to get stronger now,
just like we do.
baby, i thought you were gonna save me.

to see who we are.
cause thats all we have.
Raining down on me.
Raining down on me.
Sometimes it feels like its
hard to breathe.
When it keeps raining,

pulling a vine,
passing the time.
somehow you,
interrupt my mind.
i cant complain.

the only thing changing are the names.

i'll sing it to you, wont you sing it to me?
lets make some harmony.
i'll sing it to you, wont you sing it to me?

but there's nothing wrong with getting lost.

got that horizon in view.
nothing that i'm trying to prove.
theres a whole world out there,
that im about to uncover.

we stop always yearning.
wondering how its gonna be.
another day at the grind
so they say.
but what's it really mean to be free.
they understand that we all had a plan
but there's nothing wrong with getting lost.
so what do you mean with your same old routine

oh i guess im out to see,
if this is what was meant for me.
cause you know im never satisfied.
it'll be one hell of a ride

and i'll fly.
i'll pack my bags
and i'll try.
oh it'll be one hell of a ride.

your metaphors.
of our borrowed time,

the world's a strange
but familiar face.
you step out of line,
you step into place.
oh i guess i'm out to find
what to do with this life of mine.
cause this is starting to hurt a lot.
oh i guess im out to see,
if this is what was meant for me.
