Coming Alive

I’ve been afraid of walking alone
I’ve been afraid of doing everything wrong
I’ve wandered down my share of dead end roads
I just want to know, where can I go
Its up with the morning
It breaks like the dawn and
Everything inside is coming alive
Without a warning
You open the door and
Everything inside is coming alive
I’ve seen a heart shaped discoball dream
Shatter on the dancefloor and everyone leaves
Tell me, where do you go when there’s nowhere to be
You just want to know, where you can go

Hey Boy

You've been taking on way too much
Nothing's ever good enough
You never seem to measure up
Everything you do is judged
You're always standing on your shoulder
looking over
Hey boy take it easy
Hey boy take it easy on yourself
You got nothing left to lose, co cmon
You got nothing left to prove, so cmon
Cmon take it easy on yourself
You've been cutting yourself too deep
With promises you couldn't keep
You gotta mountain up on your back
But you’re way too young to walk like that
Cmon boy cut yourself some slack
You don't know what you want
You don't know what you need
You forgot who you are
You forgot how to believe

We started talking late last night
We kept on talking for a long time
I couldn’t say a single thing right
The words that were said, could kill the tongue-tied
Why do you always know just what to say
To bring me down and take it all away
Polarized, we subdivide
we live our lives just to spite the other side
These are just a few reasons we are at war
These are just a few reasons we all ignore
He’s left, you’re always right
Polarized, You think he’s weak because he won’t decide
We’re disconnected – we’ve been infected
We’re building up defenses - protecting deadly interests
Everybody knows someone just like him
Everybody knows someone just like them
Everybody’s just a little bit sensitive
We’re not even listening, we’re waiting for our chance to speak
I’m going walking for a little while
I’m going walking, I’ll be outside
I’m sick of talking, I’ll be alright
I’m going walking for a little while

No One Else

Baby if you’re lonely
If you need a friend tonight
You’ve been burning slowly
Burning like the start burn in the night
There were girls before
But you are more
Than al the girls combined
Just look at my heart,
Look at my heart
Baby don’t cry
Everything will be all-right
The Look in your eyes
Tells me you doubt my love tonight
But I just want to say
That I could never taste
From Anyone else’s love
No one else’s love
Baby if you hold me
If you keep me in your heart
Then even when I am going
We will never be apart
There are lonely hearts in lover’s arms
No matter how close that they get
Their skin touches skin
But they only give when they can get
It’s a movement that I choose to make
You are my open-hearted love campaign
I’ll spend my life like I had just one day
You mean more than any accolades

I want to live like a city on fire
I want a voice like a crowded street
I want to run without hesitation
I want to run with my own two feet
I want to stand under the streetlights
Unafraid when the teargas breaks
I want to move like a demonstration
Unafraid and fully awake
Oh,
I want to riot
Cuz I don’t want to burn out quiet
Cmon let’s start a riot
I want to go out fighting
I want a soul like a kerosene cocktail
I want a hope that won’t disappear
I want a faith like electric wires
Throwing sparks into the atmosphere
I want to walk out to the horizon
I want to stare into the setting sun
I want a view like a constellation
Oh, I want to feel dangerous
I want to know more than information
I want to do more than just work
I want to be more than education
I want to talk with more than just words

Patience
I'm not afraid to jump right in
I'm not afraid to sink or swim
I'm a collider
Patience
I ran out in front of you
that's when I got stuck into (right through)
I'm an outlier
How did you know
My face was in the stone
How much was by design
How did you carve
Around my heart
How could we not collide
Collider
Patience
maybe I was wrong
I thought that you would come
I waited for you here
Patience
I shot from the hip
when the bullets didn't hit
I thought you'd disappeared

I don’t have much money
And they’re telling me its only getting worse
All of this fear and uncertainty
As if money makes us all secure
Trade a good nights sleep
For plastic dreams
When credit cards and greed are king
Everyone I know
Wants to own the world
You can’t change the world with a gun
You can’t change the world without love
You can hold it back for a little while
But soon the dam will break
What are we all running from
Why are we afraid
(When all the bullets have run out
How will we escape?)
I never had much faith for institutions
It never seemed like much of anything could grow
The one thing that they are known for,
Is people playing God craving control.
There are darker things
Than war machines;
Hidden deep inside of me,
Everyone I know
Wants to rule the world

Umbrella

Life can get you down
Especially when things don't work out
Life can be so cruel
It gives you hope and makes you feel like a fool
Time won't give you a break
Won't let you back to fix your mistakes
When you've worked since the day that you were born
To find a way out of the storm
You need an umbrella in the rain
You need some sunshine in the shade
You need some blue skies instead of grey
You need an umbrella; You need an umbrella in the rain.
Don't get down on yourself
Everybody needs a little help
Don't be afraid to ask
Even a stranger has a helping hand
If the Sky should fall today
My love for you will still remain
You could hide away
I’ll be your umbrella; I’ll be your umbrella in the rain
You need an umbrella in the rain
You need some sunshine in the shade
You need a friend who hasn’t changed
You need an umbrella; You need an umbrella in the rain.

Something Good
03:38

You had no intentions of talking
about what all went on
how everything went wrong
You changed your direction
You just walk around another block
And hope the smoke clears off
You take your time
you're laying low
trying to decide
where you're gonna go
(you need)
Something Good To get back to
something else besides the black and white
something good to get back to
yeah, you need a brand new life
you built your defenses
and told yourself
you didn't need to change
you could stay the same
you swung for the fences
but you weren't going anywhere
just swinging at the air
you want it all
you're never satisfied
paper airplane heart
and you're flying blind
If you're gonna turn around first
Every time it don't work
You should try to make sure
If you're gonna go backwards

American Girl

Outside the air is frozen
There’s a bonfire
Pushing smoke into the air
Champagne
In a paper cup
Our best days
Still are yet to come
This is where the future starts
Underneath December stars
Fireworks are going off
I’m holding you
You are my American girl
Bright like the moon
You are my American girl
I want you
The ball drops
In slow motion
Time stops
This is where the future starts
Waiting for the clock to strike
A dozen times on New Year’s night
Throw my arms around you love
Hoping for a kiss to come
If you want me baby
Just let me know
If you love me baby
Don’t lead me on

Tragedy always comes so suddenly
Just like a thief it comes it comes to steal away
There’s a bullet hole deep inside of every soul
It’s so beautiful when you fill the space in between
Tonight
Underneath the moonlight
Incandescent pale white
We are still here, still here and still alive
When a father dies, even with a long life
You don’t wanna say goodbye
To the one who brought you in
When a child leaves
A mother weeps
Death is the thief
And Blood brings him in
Looking for a love, a love that has a face
Something brand new without an aftertaste
You’ll find no warmth in a skeleton’s embrace
Here we are all in the same place
Vengeance cares nothing for a mother’s prayer
As a nation bleeds do we rage to make it stop

One Thing
04:33

Just like the night without her moon
Or like July without a June
Just like a rose without a bloom
Falling in love without a swoon
You’re the one thing
You’re the one thing
You’re the one thing
That I can’t live without
Just like a bride without a ring
Or like a king without a queen
A songbird without a song to sing
Celebrities without a silver screen
You cover over and still find room inside my heart
You blanket the night sky like a canvas catching sparks
You overwhelm me like a city skyline in the dark
And I don’t want to look away form you
