wake up the streets again
with the sound of a rubber band
playing all the sweet sustaining
chords that carry all the way across
over and out we roam
it’s the sound that you've overgrown
how’s it feel to be connected
all thats lost can be corrected if you
tell me how it’s confusing
if it’s only an illusion
only now can we measure all the sound
can we measure all the sound
out of each others way
that’s how it’s gonna stay
even after several hours
we’d collide and none bothers to
scream in the act of faith
thats got us in such a place
only calculated stories
given us a sense of glory can you
tell me how it’s confusing
if it’s only an illusion
only now can we measure all the sound
only now can we measure all the sound
before our heads awake and it
looks like your the ones to go and let it
slip away

Do you know who you are
you traveled so far
for miles and miles
now you've come back again
to get to the end
still smiling
for leaving the whole thing behind
and now
I’m taking answers to all of the questions
that keep most of us paralyzed
but I don’t know how to cast them all aside
in my mind
do you get what you give or
give what you get inside
or try and pull it apart
and dust off your heart
still smiling
for leaving the whole thing behind
and now
I’m taking answers to all of the questions
that keep most of us paralyzed
but I don’t know how to cast them all aside

come along, come and get some
if your better luck had gone astray
it’s only half a mile that we've gone
and we’re gonna run till we get far away
did you hope that you’d see more
but your senses got you where you’ve gone
you got something more now to bleed for
cause if you see too much it gets you nowhere
lose enough and then you’ll win the race
cause the sun don’t give you nothing in the shade
but don’t you know we got
eight miles
till we get off the dusty road
eight miles
till we get off the dusty road
it’s just such a sight to see
so just leave it all up to me
hold my hand let me feel ya
I can not get a taste of late
is my condition in my face or in my forehead
that gets me on and keeps me up again
sure enough that I won't drop the reins
cause it’s only hanging on that seams the same
but don’t you know we got
eight miles
till we get off the dusty road
eight miles
till we get off the dusty road
it’s just such a sight to see
so just leave it all up to me

Isabella, where did you go
I’m still pretending that your here but I know
you must have been crazy
but that didn’t faze me
so long ago
there’s no question, not anymore
the sentimental fool you left at the door
who promised you favors, but everything wavers
over again
and that’s just how it began
with every little spark
that calls you in the dark
keeps you singing till you fall apart
and you know we’re on to the very next show
the wide oceans they drown in despair
but how was I to know you needed some air
I’m all of favors I wish I could save you
from yourself
save you from yourself
but every little spark
that calls you in the dark
keeps you singing till you fall apart
and you know we're on to the very next show
the sun sets now and turns into wine
and it’s impossible to haggle for time
you’ll always be vaguely familiar but maybe
in our defense
we're right back were we began

go go get some more
cause all I have aint getting me nowhere
cold cold old conversations end
in the corners of my mind
still still still your sliding slowly
and nothing’s really going on
this air’s so stale you know me
I should just get up and go
clearly all this thinking alone
is really just a waste of time
clean clean the rooms so dirty
opens up my eyes and they close
tick tick tock stop the clicking of a
clock that's taking up all my time
this air’s so stale you know me
I should just get up and go
clearly all this thinking alone
the meanings are just out of control
even though there’s damage
I know I’m gonna manage
cause it’s only just a waste of time
really just a waste of time

I am a ghost
that you know will never die
does it tie you in a knot
all you got was peace of mind
I’d like to know where you've gone
but you barely said goodbye
you barely said goodbye
can’t you look me in the eye
you don’t need to run
from the ones who've let you down
cause there still in the race
for the spaces you left out
now it’s a silent disgrace
how you barely said goodbye
yeah you barely said goodbye
can’t you look me in the eye

you got a necessary hope inside
for the right road at the right time
leading you onward
and it’s easy enough my love
it’s easy
but the fog won't hurt you now my love
this time
you got a message from the free world tonight
but don't forget
what your holding
isn’t yours only
and it’s easy enough my love
it’s easy
yeah it’s easy enough my love
it’s easy
and the fog won’t hurt you now my love
it’s a shame your hands are tied
you don’t need anyone my love
tonight

Doesn’t make no sense
to roll up in a ball
when the hours that you spend
there only getting stranger
all the ways that you’ve been overthrown
from your long haired days
and everyone had change
and all the ways that you can hit the floor
don’t let your hard head bleed no more
cause in your innocence
you gave it all away
and the beggars last request
is nothing but a wager
all the ways that you’ve been overthrown
from your long haired days
and everyone had change
and all the ways that you can hit the floor
don’t let your hard head bleed no more
your’re so sorry now

turn off the searchlights
cause everything’s alright with me
the truth is opinion
that doesn’t give in or slide
from side to side
I could be clearer
but I don’t know whether
it’s true
do you
but everything’s all right
everything’s all right
wish you could see
into the deep end
it’s not as convenient
to lock up your tongue and control
we took an emotion
and wrapped it in notions
that seamed to groove
but everything’s all right
everything’s all right
wish you could see
turn off your searchlights
if you believe
