VERSES
We'll follow the stars,
it's not very far.
Give me your arm,
I'll give you my heart,
and we'll dance beneath the willow trees,
trembling in the dark.
BRIDGE
Honestly speaking,
I can't remember
why I want you here
to help me to forget her:
dear misery.

Sleepwalking
03:27
|
|||
V1
I go out sleepwalking almost every night.
I don't know where I'm going, guess it just feels right.
I go out sleepwalking when the stars all shine.
I don't know where I'm going, guess it just feels right.
CHORUS 1
And I hope it's not too late
to say all I want to say,
winter's getting closer
and the days move slower.
And I know it's not the same
as when we were a younger age,
it's gotten colder
and we've gotten older.
V2
I go out sleepwalking almost every night.
I don't know why I'm running, guess it just feels right.
I go out sleepwalking by the pale moonlight.
I don't know why I'm running, guess it just feels right.
CHORUS 2
And I hope it's not too late
to pray for a change,
as the years turn over
I need you closer.
I still love you just the same
as when we were a younger age,
but it's gotten colder
and we've gotten older.

Marigold
02:53
|

V1
I've been spending most of my time
wiping the tear drops from my eyes
looking for the words that I can't find
follow the sun up in the sky,
walking on the thinning ice,
looking for a way to heal my mind.
CHORUS
And if I fell through
would you run too
and leave me here on my own?
If I loved you
would you be true
and never let me go, Marigold?
V2
I've been spending most of my days
wiping the tear drops from my face
looking for the words I can't place.
Follow the sun up in the sky
walking on the thinning ice
waiting for something to heal my mind.

The Way Home
03:24
|
|||
Let’s get away
from this place
and start again.
Do you still believe
in me,
my only friend?
We used to know the way home.
Would you tell me,
baby,
if I failed you?
I think that I
would die,
but tell the truth.
Let’s get away
from this place,
somewhere new.
I swear I’ll try
this time,
I promise you.

I Need To Know
02:50
|
|||
Girl, I know that you’ve been true.
You’ve given me no cause to doubt you.
But whenever we’re apart
these thoughts start tearin’ up my heart.
I need to know,
I need to know,
I need to know you still love me, girl.
Girl, I know I’ve been a fool.
You’ve given me no cause to doubt you.
But whenever I’m away
these thoughts start drivin’ me insane.
The stars are shinin’ in the sky.
The moon is risin’ in your eyes.
So tell me, baby, will you and I
fade with the sun?

No Good At Goodbyes
02:52
|
|||
The sun is hangin’ low
like the way of our love it goes, ohhh.
My words never heal
half as well as they kill and steal, ohhh.
I never meant to make you cry.
Guess I’m just no good at sayin’ goodbye.
Don’t give up on me
just because it’s so easy, ohhh.
Let’s wait for the sun to rise
and dry the tears fallin’ from our eyes, ohhh.
Is this the end or can the dead learn to live again?

Sarah, Please
04:08
|
|||
In your heart that feelin’ always starts,
tears that don’t always show.
In your mind you could never find
all that you wanted to know.
Sarah please, your eyes are killin’ me
I know how hard it can be
when you don’t know who you belong to.
Sarah, please, no stronger can break
what’s makin’ your heart ache,
than the love I got for you.
Kneelin’ down, tryin’ to remember how
to pray to what you thought you forgot.
The bandages they wrapped around your limbs
cover what you know will never stop.
It’s gettin’ late so I
guess I’ll say goodbye
one more time before I go.
We should never be apart
because broken hearts
find ways to be alone.

You Don't Even Try
03:27
|
|||
The mornin’ sun shines in your eyes,
mockin’ all of my goodbyes.
I said I’d go crazy
if love were a lie,
but honey, you don’t even try.
Tell me is it wrong or is it right
for us to pass like two ships in the night?
I said I’d crazy
if you weren’t all mine,
but honey, you don’t even try.
Can’t you see,
this fire is killin’ me?
Don’t make me wait
for your love to come pourin’ down like rain.

The River's Wide
03:26
|
|||
I get this lonesome feelin’ sometimes when I’m kneelin’ down to pray.
I know God is listenin’ but sometimes she can seem so far away.
The days they keep crawlin’ but the years they keep fallin’ like rain.
And it’ll all come too soon when the ones I’ve spent beside you have gone away.
So may the sunlight keep you dry,
and may your lamp burn all through the night,
till I reach you on the other side,
but darlin’, ohhh, the river’s wide.
When I was a young boy I was never frightened of the night.
So now that I’ve grown older why am I afraid of the light?
The winter wind will call you, her melodies will haunt you by and by,
singin’, “It’ll all come to soon, when all that you once knew is left behind.”
So may your fears rest in your mind,
and may your sorrow sleep through the night,
till I reach you on the other side,
but darlin’, ohhh, the river’s wide.

Only
02:58
|
|||
Gravity’s the only thing keepin’ me here.
And I don’t want to be the reason for your leavin’.
Apologies never turn out like I want ‘em to.
Stay for me, Only.
The people that I’ve been haven’t left me,
but I don’t feel that I’m the same as when you met me.
Flowers wither, even with water.
Certain thirsts have a way to keep you wantin’ more.
Stay for me, Only. Only. Only
