Waiting 03:36
this is unlike you. i don't understand this is unlike you tell me, where have you been? i remember your smiling face the first time we met out here and i can't wait till you pull up the trees have grown so proud they've been waiting for us  to build our first house you must be running late, but baby i've got faith there's nowhere you'd rather be i don't know what i'd do if this place came crashing down i don't know where i'd go if this place came crashing down well, i've got bills to pay, i didn’t want this anyway... maybe this time i won't show up so much for my favorite place, hanging out in this tree if i go through with this  it'll be a bad memory i don't know what i'd do if this place came crashing down i don't know where i'd go if this place came crashing down this is unlike you. i don't understand this is unlike you tell me, where have you been? i don't know what i'd do if this place came crashing down i don't know where i'd go if this place came crashing down i don't know what i'd do if this place came crashing down i don't know who i'd be if this place came crashing down on me

Crucible 03:23
wake up in a cold sweat struggle to catch my breath cough up memories past walk out through smoke and ash i am not afraid to stand in harm’s way rush in put the fire out head in a lion’s mouth i am not afraid i am not afraid It takes a lot of strength to face the hard things you’d rather suffocate dancing around the flames i am not afraid to stand in harm’s way rush in put the fire out head in a lion’s mouth i am not afraid i am not afraid

Distance 04:07
everyone's got an opinion now where is she going? why hasn't she left this town? well i've got ropes around my shins and roadblocks that you built in my head and i think it's about time, i finally said i need distance between you and me fears painting oceans as far as i can see i need patience 'cause this love has taken me far from the person, i hoped i would be oh yeah and i guess it's a good thing you never called 'cause if you had i might have never moved on cut the rope from 'round my neck i won't cry 'cause i've got no hope left and i think it's about time, i understand i need distance between you and me fears painting oceans as far as i can see i need patience 'cause this love has taken me far from the person, i hoped i would be oh yeah i need distance between you and me fears painting oceans am i still in your dreams? i need patience 'cause this love has taken me far from the person, i hoped i would be oh yeah

i'll disappear someday soon don't you know? i've been waiting on this day since i was eight years old it's been so long i've gotten used to being alone and i felt the fangs but i didn't know the difference and you sunk into me with lies of such conviction it's been so long did you really need the attention? well what do you want from me now? i've got nothing left to say nothing left in me what could you take from me now? i'm not the problem but i can turn this on myself pull me back down with your sugar (sucre) tongue and i'll swallow your words with the water filling my lungs it's been so long and i can't touch the bottom and i'll never understand how you can speak so plainly you made "i love you" sound so easy but now i'm gone and i hope it hurts without me well what do you want from me now? i've got nothing left to say nothing left in me what could you take from me now? i'm not the problem but i can turn this on myself well, what do you want from me now? you want to be my friend? you should have thought of that what could you take from me now? show me it's worth it, 'cause i've got nothing left

Soulmates 03:17
do you believe in soulmates? do you believe in love? do you believe it’s never too late? well, i believe all of the above. do you believe in science? do you believe in fate? do you believe that happiness is a choice we make? do you believe in permanence? do you believe me when i say “i could love you always, until the earth calls for me"? i could love you always until my heart’s final beat.

Carolina 03:46
baby, i've had enough of this i'm sick of the lies in every single kiss you're so good at hiding the real you that you can't see the awful things you do and if you listen to me right now i'll tell you everything i've been pushing down i can't always tell you 'cause you're to proud to admit you're wrong if it's not me that you want to keep then by all means go and find what you need but i won't wait for your letter 'cause i'm off to Carolina baby, please won't you spare me another line? take what's yours 'cause i'm finally taking mine and if you listen to me right now i'll tell you everything i've been pushing down i can't always tell you 'cause you're to proud to admit you're wrong (but you're wrong) if it's not me that you want to keep then by all means go and find what you need but i won't wait for your letter 'cause i'm off to Carolina if it's not me that you want to keep then by all means go and find what you need but i won't wait for your letter 'cause i'm off to Carolina i'm off to Carolina

Little Galah 03:56
unfolded a map we crossed off every city we visited every city we dreamt of living in through coffee stains and busted knuckles under the gaze of maple leaves i've been wondering how good it might feel to be free fly high little galah the flight was long but the attendants were kind i wiped my eyes and tried to soothe my mind i heard you've gone off and lived your life but i've felt hollow since you left mine fly high little galah and i swear to god if there was one thing i could change i would have never stepped foot back on that plane we would have sat in your car outside it'd be pouring rain and i would have said "this is crazy, i love you. would you marry me?" i know this is crazy, but i love you. would you marry me? fly high little galah

Who Knew? 03:26
i sent letters and bit my nails till you replied i had no idea of the mess i was in at the time i read those characters you choose so carefully the way your mind works it should have scared me it's been years now and it's impossible to figure out why you let us go but i keep looking around for someone who knows but it's impossible you're impossible who knew? i crossed my fingers and waited up for you all night i never imagined you'd disappear from my life now what am i left with? when the best part of me has died how can i love again? if it's not you it's just a lie it's been years now and it's impossible to figure out why you let us go but i keep looking around for someone who knows but it's impossible you're impossible who knew? you knew, didn't you? you knew, you knew! it's been years now and it's impossible to figure out why you let us go but i keep looking around for someone who knows but it's impossible you're impossible who knew?

The Ocean 02:49
you've been gone for days long enough to set my fears ablaze and these were waters, you didn't know you were a fool to set sail alone and the ocean it called to you. the ocean it haunted you. the ocean it swallowed you. your scent lingers on my bed i see your ghost as i lay down my head it screams the last words you said how could you leave? how could you leave like that? and the ocean it called to you. the ocean it haunted you. the ocean it swallowed you i feel the waves crash over my feet i curse the day they took you from me i missed my last chance to breathe but i’ll find you underneath and the ocean it called to me the ocean it haunted me the ocean it swallowed me

The Dr. 02:26
tender footfalls i know they're coming my way i've been waiting oh so patiently the doctor's calling, he's got some bad news please don't tell me i should stop waiting for you know the leaves are falling oh what a beautiful scene i can see you in every breath i breathe the doctor's calling he's got some bad news i may never ever recover from you know you know i would give anything tender voices i hear them calling me to come back to earth accept my world without you the doctor's calling i know he's got some bad news i've been dying since the day i left you know you know i would give anything yeah, you know you know i would hold your hand until the end

Run 03:12
separate your life from the people you know celebrate your right to go where you wanna go learn to run learn to run learn to run as fast and as far as you can where the pain won’t follow you as fast and as far as you can they can’t, they can’t control you the longer i live the more i’m convinced there’s not enough time to waste your life waiting for them to change their mind so learn to run learn to run learn to run as fast and as far as you can where the pain won’t follow you as fast and as far as you can they can’t, they can’t control you sometimes it's not not right to stay your only choice is to break the chain don't listen to what they say sometimes it's not it's not right to stay hear the timpani hear the violin dance to the down beat ride the West wind as fast and as far as you can where the pain won’t follow you as fast and as far as you can they can’t, they can’t control you
