Anybody Out There

In the cold of the night
The fire burns bright
You long for the unseen
On the edge of the sea
Your thoughts run deep
You long for a place you've never been
Is anybody there, is anybody there, you cry to the full moon
As your thoughts run wild like the thoughts of a child
You wonder if you'll be there soon
I say slow me down, slow me down
I want to hear the sound, slow me down
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
(repeat)
Anybody, anybody
Here I stand
Letter in my hand
The letter that you sent to me
But as I turn each page like the turning of a wave
I feel you turning me
I say
Slow me down, slow me down
I want to hear the sound, slow me down
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
(repeat)
Anybody, anybody
I don't know anything no more
I don't know anything no more
I don't know anything
I don�t know anything
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
(repeat)
Anybody, anybody
I can hear those strings, calling
Calling me

Soldier

I take aim from the kitchen window
I take aim from up and down below
I take aim from the tree in your backyard
I fall asleep but I�m always on guard
I take the shots but I have no authority
I take the shots but I�m not guilty
I�m just a soldier in another war
It doesn�t matter who I�ve killed before
I don�t stop till the end of the show
I don�t stop till my country says so
I don�t know why I raise this hell
I�m just a soldier
Fighting for someone else
Oh, oh that�s right
I got a big ol� family
I got a wife and she�s waiting at home for me
I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door
It doesn�t matter who I�ve killed before
I don�t stop till my mission is done
I don�t stop till they tell me I�ve won
I don�t know why I wage this war
I�m just a soldier aiming for one more
My family they cover me
My family they cover me
Everything I see is what I believe
I am not guilty, no
I am not guilty
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I am not guilty
I don�t stop not even in my dreams
I don�t stop seeing things that I�ve seen
I don�t know why I raise this hell
I�m just a soldier fighting for someone else
I�m just a soldier
I�m just a soldier, soldier soldier
Don�t take it so personally
Yeah, soul
I�m just a soldier
I�m just a soldier, soldier, soldier

Next To Me

You are my only escape
You are the reason that I wait
On the corner of this empty street
Oh I just can't wait to meet
There�s so much a man can do
And there's so much a man can say
See I have done so many things wrong
That you should of thrown me away

I�ve got this second chance
I�m gonna take it
I�ve got this song and dance
I�m gonna take it
I�ve got all that I need
And I can taste it
I�ve got you next to me
And I don't want to waste it

You are my only embrace
You are the light that lights my face
And any fool would do the same
To follow in your trace
See people come and people go
And I know I should of been replaced

I�m gonna take it
All that I can get
I�m gonna take it

It�s beautiful the way you love
The way you take me back
Here she comes around the bend
She coming to take me back

Letters From The Sky

One of these days the sky's gonna break and everything will escape and
I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea and they'll
know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming
back, you're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here
Hold me here
Hold me here
They�re only walls that hold me here
One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won't have to be scared
Cause we won't have to be scared (2x)
You�re coming back for me (chant)
You're coming back to me
Comin� back for me
Comin� back

On The Surface

It was dark on the docks that night
As a frozen white light
Shone across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blue
There came a light towards me
On the water that lay before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that had felt so much

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me if life is an ocean than I�m only on the surface

This is where they come in
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where i like to stand
And watch the swirling ways of man
To stir humanity with visions of dignity to see what will conspire if i throw myself into its fire

I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was light everywhere
If life is an ocean
Then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface

Trouble

I didn�t know what everybody was talking about
Oh, no
So I went down to the water
Tried to figure it out
Oh, no
Everybody was looking down at the empty ground
Except you baby
And you turned to me with a strange look in your eye
And whispered in my ear
You said oh, everybody�s got a trouble (2x)
Just like me
There I met a man scorched by the sun
He had a ring above his head
And with eyes of chrome
And a voice of steel
He drew his breath and he said
Oh, everybody�s got a trouble
You said
Oh, everybody�s got a trouble
Just like me (2x)
He said I should just go home
Oh, he said I should just go home
Oh, everybody�s got a trouble
He said
Oh, everybody�s got a trouble
Its what he said
Everybody�s got a trouble
Just like me (4x)
He said I should just go on (4x)
He said (3x)
He said I should just go on (3x)

Human

There�s one way out and one way in
Back to the beginning
There�s one way back to home again
To where I feel forgiven
What is this I feel
Why is it so real
What am I to say
Its only love
Its only pain
Its only fear
That runs through my veins
Its all the things you can�t explain
That make us human
I am just an image of something so much greater
I am just a picture frame
I am not the painter
Where do I begin
Can I shed this skin
What is this I feel within
Its only love
Its only pain
Its only fear
That runs through my veins
Its all the things you can�t explain
That make us human

Perfect Stranger

Tonight I feel something over me
Something I can�t change
Many nights I have spent sailing
With many reasons to be brave
But tonight I feel my heart begin to fail me
And my head begin to fall
Like two ships crossing their paths
I see you like a new dawn
My perfect stranger
Don�t sail away
It was meant to be
We met this way (2x)
So many nights I�ve been in this place
The winds haven�t blown in seven days
I turn to the stars
And the moon at night
But the more I look
The more I lose sight
And heaven knows that heaven shows
Pieces of its glory
Its moments like these
And treasures we must seize
So we can tell the story of�
My perfect stranger
Don�t sail away
Tell me your secrets
And be on your way
Hold me here
Go on and hold me here
Cause
There�s no fear (3x)
My perfect stranger
Arms open wide to me
Tell me your secrets
And tell them as you lay
I sing
Hold me now my perfect stranger (2x)

What You Want

I've got this feeling running through my side.
I've got this feeling that you don't like my kind.
Slow down, keep it down. I'm trying to make some noise here.
And I know you, you've found love.
But baby that's no way to show it.
Come in, take a look inside.
Cause I know you're gonna like this kind.
I said slow down, keep it down, I'm trying to be an original.
And I know you, you've found love.
But baby that's no way to show it.
This is what you wanted to hear x3
Come in, come in, come in, I�ve been waiting for you.
Just take a look inside and see what I can do.
I said, you might not think that this is for you
But you're never quite sure �til you try.
And I know you, you've found love.
But darling I don't care.
Cause this is what you wanted to hear x3
Oh, oh this is what you wanted to hear x3

Something She Said

I'm in trouble, there's trouble everywhere I stare
I'm seeing double, I don't know where I left my head
It happened to me on a cool dark night twenty-two nights ago
And I'm in trouble 'cause I just don't know how to let go
No it wasn't in the way she swayed
No it wasn't how she walked away
Yeah, it was something she said
Yeah, it was something she said (repeat)
I'd better get back to the place that i used to be
Cause you're trouble and trouble's got a hold of me
Yeah I'm in love with you and you know it's true, I think I told a lie before
Well I�m in trouble
And trouble�s all over my floor
No, it wasn't in the way she moved
No, no it wasn't in the way she grooved
Yeah, it was something she said
Yeah, it was something she said (repeat)
Something she said
I don't know why I'm here, searching through this cloud
The words are coming in now, but I don't hear any sound
I don't know why, no, I don't know why I'm here
Yeah, it was something she said
Yeah, it was something she said (repeat)

Quiet In My Town

Today I heard that someone left this earth
That someone disappeared
Left no mark here
Today I heard that someone just got up and left themselves
Lying on the ground
(Chorus) (2x)
Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today two boys disappeared without noise
And I wish that I was them
Flying somewhere overhead
Tonight in silence two lovers they fight
One is bored
One is angry
But neither one of them is right
(Chorus) (2x)
Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Somebody say something
Somebody say something
Somebody say something to me
Somebody say something
Somebody say something
Cause I can�t take this silence anymore
Anymore
Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is
Today is
Today is too quiet in my town
Today I heard the sound of birds
And I wish that I was anywhere but here
Its too quiet
Too quiet
Its too quiet
Too quiet
Its too quiet
Its too quiet
Its just too quiet
Its too quiet (x7)
Its too quiet in my town
I sing it out
Today is
Today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is
Today is
Today is too quiet in my town
Today is
Today is
Today it is quiet in my town

Run Dry

I got up and dusted off my running shoes
To see how far I could run away
I got up the hill and came back down again
And I blamed it all on you
The foolish things I do
I try to leave you
But I don�t know how
I try to give you up
A thousand times
I told myself
All kinds of foolish lies
But its your love
That won�t run dry
I have looked down all those drinking wells
And some of them I accidentally fell
And when I hit the bottom
All I came up with
Was a dry and empty shell
I try to leave you
But I don�t know how
I try to give you up
A thousand times
I told myself
All kinds of foolish lies
But its your love
That won�t run dry
I gave it in
I gave it all
I just don�t know anymore
I can�t take this
I just don�t know anymore
I try to leave you
But I don�t know how
I try to give you up
A thousand times
I told myself
All kinds of foolish lies
But its your love
Its your love
That won�t run dry
It just won�t run,
It just won�t run dry

Save Yourself

Close your eyes, picture this
A world with no view
I was lost, and I was blind
Till I stepped in that room
Love, it is the way you began
It is the song that I sang when I was free

Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
Cause you can't save me

All your words, all your youthful strength couldn't save me from the storm and so decided was my mind long before you were born that i, i would make a change and I would rearrange so you were free

Save yourself
Cause you can't save me
It�s too late for me

Stolen

I met love on the gravel road
While I was walking alone
She looked so gentle and sweet
Kissed my hands
Kissed my feet
She poured me a glass of deep red wine
To numb my feet and ease my mind
I fell asleep in her arms
When I awoke she was gone
I didn�t even notice that something was wrong
I didn�t even notice that my heart had been stolen
Who is this thief in the night
Steals my strength
Robs my might
She left me a blind wanderer
With no words to speak or ponder
I didn�t even notice anything was wrong
I didn�t even notice that my heart had been stolen
I will search the land and sea to find this girl who stole from me
And when I do I�ll tell her she can keep that old heart of mine
Cause I didn�t even notice anything was wrong
I didn�t even notice that my heart had been stolen
