I Can Wait Forever

I don’t know if you can hear me
I don’t know if these words will fly
I don’t know if you sincerely
said au revoir or good bye
I could be wrong on all accounts
But i know when you were near me
we rose higher than the sky
and you know in yesteryear we
absorbed the rain in july
I could be wrong on all accounts
But i will stay and wait for your train to come in
stay right here wait for your train to come in
I can wait forever
I don’t know if you can hear me
I don’t think much of this wire
but i know out of fear we
have put out one too many fires
I could be wrong on all accounts
But i will stay and wait for your train to come in
stay right here wait for your train to come in
I can wait forever

You wake up every morning
with the same scattered mind
you think today'll be different
It's just the first of your lies
And every day you think that
Today he's gonna come
You stare into the nothingness
Until your eyes go numb
Did you find your way back to Stockholm
Through the pouring rain
Or did you stay behind with broken dreams
and wallow in your pain
I ask because I care
You say that you are fine
but it's starting to sound weird
Your allies left you long ago
It's only you still here
You pack your bag and take off
To some other land
You try again to find yourself
You try as hard as you can
Did you find your way back to Stockholm
Through the pouring rain
Or did you stay behind with broken dreams
and wallow in your pain
I ask because I care
It's starting to move slower
It's starting to move slower
But it's only in your head
Did you find your way back to Stockholm
Through the pouring rain
Or did you stay behind with broken dreams
and wallow in your pain
I ask because I care

Merry-Go-Round

Round and round and up and down
all over town on a merry-go-round
flying closer to the sun
falling and laughing, fun fun fun
There’s nothing out there for you
those places where you stray
there’s nothing out there for you
but emptiness in spades
Down and down the rabbit hole
all over town with no control
stepping into the unknown
nobody here to save my soul
There’s nothing out there for you
those places where you stray
there’s nothing out there for you
but sadness and decay
Who cares what’s out there for me?
i like it anyway
i’m savoring every moment
of life in the fast lane

Down
04:05

Hide behind
enemy lines
with eyes open wide
try to find
some sign
of life in disguise
Go down, and down, and down
High tide
align
with eyes open wide
right on time
for a sign
of lies in disguise
Go down, and down, and down

I Never Thought
02:38

I've been waiting for a long time
Ever since I met you
You've been stuck inside my mind
inside my mind
I've been hoping for a long time
ever since I saw you
I've been hanging on for days
on for days
I never thought that you would fly as near
I never thought that you could be the one
I never thought that you would shine as clear
I never thought that my life would be this way
I've been waiting for too long now
Ever since I met you
My mind's been a total mess
a total mess
I've been hoping for too long now
ever since I saw you
I disappoint myself
disappoint myself
I never thought that you would fly as near
I never thought that you could be the one
I never thought that you would shine as clear
I never thought that my life would be this way

Morning Say Hello

Morning say hello
set the world aglow
come on, rise and shine
greet the day and smile
I had a calling but it fell through
what am i going to do?
no way to go back and start anew
what am i going to do?
Evening say good night
apple of my eye
come on, go to bed
get out of my head
I had a calling but it fell through
what am i going to do?
no way to go back and start anew
what am i going to do?

No Limit

We used to think there was no limit to our lives
No limit to our lives
We used to think that we would take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
We used to think that it was easy to be free
Easy to be free
We used to think that it was cheesy to be in the wheel
Cheesy to be in the wheel
We used to think there was no limit to our lives
No limit to our lives
We used to think that we would never swallow our pride
Never swallow our pride

That's A Promise

Iemember how I said
I would be back some day?
and so, come what may
I’d figure out a way
And even though right now we’re oceans apart and washed ashore
some day before long there I will be a-knocking at your door
that’s a promise
that’s a promise
Remember how we said
predictable we ain’t
we refuse to believe
in limits and constraints
And even though right now we’re oceans apart and washed ashore
some day before long there I will be a-knocking at your door
that’s a promise
that’s a promise
Remember me this way
and how I always say
we live for tomorrow
and not for yesterday
And even though right now we’re oceans apart and washed ashore
some day before long there I will be a-knocking at your door
that’s a promise
that’s a promise
