I wanna stay with you 'Till the wind takes me away I wanna stay right here 'Till I know the coast is clear And if there's anything I can do for you, you just say But, like a bird, I'll soon be flyin' away Does it mean it's near That strange feeling in the air? Can you smell the fear? Do you hear what I hear?
3.
Why do I do things I regret? I lay it all down Must have been something that I thought Or was it something I said? Open ends in our minds Still, the closed doors outside Name me a place Where no-one has to hide Blame all of my stupid mistakes On bein' caught in a race When all your troubles Flower in the sun You wanna go in the dark, so Maybe there you can glow Stuck in a void that I think is a room The past is my frame, with which my life I can paint I got nothin' to do I wanna glow in the dark
4.
Stepped on a bird's nest And I'm tryin' my best To watch my feet Bird fly away, now And it's no wonder how I'm so discreet I could start these problems And be right there to solve them Watch me Break up the dirt clot Magnify the pieces and Tell me What you see, now Paint a picture, baby And show me I could live these problems, And move right beside them Watch me All day and all night You can find the pieces Rediscover what might have been Your best friend I could see these problems Forget all about them Watch me

Workin' all day Searchin' all night Only to find the same Breathin' in air I might say somethin' I don't wanna hear Seems all that I have This image of 'future' waitin' for me Along with A concept of God A concept of creating Only to find the same Lyin' in bed Confused as hell burn-out again Breathin' in dust Crowded with images in my mind Seems all that I am One lost soul on a speechless trail I know I am such a wreck I can't seem to tell The difference between my heart and head The little flowers in the yard Show me the universe, all you are
8.
I've seen many in the darkness And I've seen plenty in the light I picture the other half sleeping In the shadow of the night, on the other side Now it's so-long, California For now, I have to say, Goodbye Seems my whole world is changing And I have to find out why Guess I'll fall in love again Might just take that second chance This time I know how to dance Guess I'll fall in love again And there's some space before the ceiling Watch out, you don't bump your head And I know I've got this feeling And I'm gonna take it down the road with me and up the bend
9.
I'm sorry, ma I am not that great Expect what you hate And that is what you get Don't you wanna hear me talk about things? I'm not that keen, but I am legit love Put down your shield I won't do no harm I long yet deserve The warmth inside your arms Why'd you go and drop me out of focus like that? It's so sad when emotions turn our backs There is no heart I'd like to sing to more It brought me to life, I found it on the floor Don't say a word, I'll just bring you up to bed Tomorrow you can promise me our one, and only pledge To cleanse our bodies Take me away To a place where we are one I'll hold my breath Make sure to bite my tongue While millions of bacteria piss in our blood Forget all of that, and forgive what we have done This moments feeling is one I should turn towards To save you from a life that surely only implores Mentally unstable love, hearts hangin' on a ledge Take what you have and dispose of it to initiate our pledge To cleanse our bodies You are your biggest mistake Don't wander the path that your head makes It's just a trap your ego wants to take It's not you, so don't call it that

Thoughts 02:55
Listenin' to the ocean waves Helpin' me break away Whenever I get caught In somebody's net I'm swimmin' in thoughts The sun don't shine today Everything swingin' in time Same old rat race With life on the same old page
