Restless Soul 04:26
lyrics
buy track
I've got a bittersweet sly feelin' burning Like a blistered-feet-long-road it keeps turning New surprise 'round every curve Can't stay long or I'll lose my nerve Gotta move right through this endless churning Inspiration rises, breaks from what I've known Pulls me up the hillside where cool winds chill the bone End of passion's journey... I've got a restless soul and it feels like thunder It's a wreckless hole that'll pull me under Deep inside without a sound Find my peace in solid ground Gotta get back to this untamed wonder Inspiration rises, breaks from what I've known Pulls me up the hillside where cool winds chill the bone End of passion's journey, silent and alone Stirs a newfound fury to find where I belong Breathe deep, sing strong, love long Live free, dream fast, night song Breathe deep, sing strong, love long Live free, dream fast, night song Inspiration rises, breaks from what I've known Pulls me up the hillside where cool winds chill the bone End of passion's journey, silent and alone Stirs a newfound fury to find where I belong Inspiration rises, breaks from what I've known Pulls me up the hillside where cool winds chill the bone End of passion's journey

Bankrupt Generation 03:08
lyrics

Where are my heroes, those fallen heroes? Childhood icons, mainstream media pros Victims of their own fame, only good in their day Turns out they weren't that interesting anyway Anyway... Where's my generation, bankrupt generation? No manufactured rebels full of piercings and tattoos Instant gratification fueled by the liars Now we paid the piper and there's nothing left to lose Hyper-vanity of an iPhone society Fake celebrity for all on YouTube and Reality TV Fifteen minutes of fame, the masses cheer your pain Turns out you aren't that interesting anyway Anyway... Where's my generation, bankrupt generation? No manufactured rebels full of piercings and tattoos Instant gratification fueled by the liars Now we paid the piper and there's nothing left to lose We used to rock the world, now there's no time to listen Stuck at home just waiting for the sitter Not even knowing what we're missin' These changes in our lives - a shock to the system Is this it, have we lost the fire? Down for the count and strung out on a wire? 401(k) gone, lost the house Unemployed with a deadbeat spouse I'm not done yet, so much more to say It's a brand new beginning, a new game to play Where's my generation, bankrupt generation? No manufactured rebels full of piercings and tattoos Instant gratification fueled by the liars Now we paid the piper and there's nothing left to lose

Right now...This night...Fly by Earth below is dark Memories...Floating...Trailing Single fading spark This path I can't retrace A past I can't replace A flash of time and space I'll hold you in my mind always Restless...Daydream...Star light Ocean painted black Distant...Fire...Guide me Endless journey back This path I can't retrace A past I can't replace A flash of time and space I'll hold you in my mind always This path I can't retrace A past I can't replace A flash of time and space I'll hold you in my mind always A flash of time and space I'll hold you in my mind always

What Brings People Together 02:38
lyrics

He was a liberal man in his early twenties She had a father who voted Bush twice They had a couple'a dates but as you'd imagine The Fates Had to quickly put this one on ice And in a twist they'd have never expected There was a hint of something there that they both detected That life was so much better With a port in stormy weather And an open heart about what brings people together Together, together She had a couple'a kids with a deadbeat dad He was a well dressed entrepreneur They tried to get started but life hit and they parted Didn't seem like love was the cure And in a twist they'd have never expected There was a hint of something there that they both detected That life was so much better With a port in stormy weather And an open heart about what brings people together Together, together Not a plan, not a choice Not a clear and certain voice There's a chemistry and we can not contain it Not a right, not a fee There is no guarantee It's a mystery and we cannot explain it He was an urban man with a big motorbike She was lost in the emerald city They had met online but didn't have much time If that was all it would have been such a pity And in a twist they'd have never expected There was a hint of something there that they both detected That life was so much better With a port in stormy weather And an open heart about what brings people together Together, together Together, together

Lost the Line 04:29
lyrics

Are you lonely now? Are you feeling proud? Life passing casting stones into the deep Will the sun arise? Will it burn your eyes? Stay sheltered with the voices in your sleep I'm caught in your whirlwind Can't let go No turning back Keeping it all in I've lost the line We'll find it How's the story go? Is it just for show? Always waiting for the veil to float away Is it hurting bad? Does it make you mad? You avoid the pain and that's the price you pay I'm caught in your whirlwind Can't let go No turning back Keeping it all in I've lost the line It's here tonight Are you lonely now? Are you feeling proud? Life passing casting stones into the deep I'm caught in your whirlwind Can't let go No turning back Keeping it all in I've lost the line It's here tonight I've lost the line It's here tonight

Mama, can I go fly a kite? Oh, it's beautiful outside Mama, I want to go play out there Look at it out there I'm sorry, but it's time to nap right now Yeah, it's time to sleep right now We can go out later, but baby, it's time to nap right now Mama, I want to go outside And chase some butterflies Look at them, just floating out there Floating in the breeze I'm sorry, but it's time to nap right now Yeah, it's time to sleep right now We can go out later, but baby, it's time to nap right now I want to go outside and do it all with you I want to dig in the sand and splash in the water Take in all this world has to offer Won't you do that with me? Baby, let's go play out there Show me all the things you see We can take a nap later, let's go explore the world, just you and me Oh, let's go play out there Show me all the things you see We can grow up later, let's go enjoy this world, just you and me

Second Chance 04:15

Clear the dust upon my tongue Let me sing of songs unsung Turn the pages of my mind Let me see what I will find Stir the waters from below Raise the curtain, start the show I'll not waste another day Waiting for the sun to stay Or leave my stories left undone Fighting wars that can't be won Maybe I've been wrong before But maybe I'll be wrong no more Never too late to start Givin' a shot to this heart to heart Take a chance, just give me a second To try to explain it away Try to convince you to stay Pass up the blame today New romance - let's give it a second chance Place my restless mind at ease I come to you upon my knees Drain the sorrows from within Let the exodus begin Oh, set my foolish heart adrift Let the honey touch my lips Never too late to start Givin' a shot to this heart to heart Take a chance, just give me a second To try to explain it away Try to convince you to stay Pass up the blame today New romance - let's give it a second chance Baby, don't let it end I know you wanna do it again The future is ours to see Any way we want it to be Never too late to start Givin' a shot to this heart to heart Take a chance, just give me a second To try to explain it away Try to convince you to stay Pass up the blame today New romance - let's give it a second chance

Reset 04:15

Anxious finger on the button Waiting to explode Or so the story goes Grinding my teeth on the thoughts that remain It all feels the same Hit the switch Start anew The proud, the many The lonely, the few I pretend no longer When we're nearing the end Gone way too far to start over again Oh, Reset the story Let the flag be unfurled When we're pushed to the edge of the world, the world, yeah We're pushed to the edge of the world Biting my tongue Numb at the tip Falling on angry lips These hands made of clay Still hold out today This world has lost its way Holding on The payment is due Quit, be counted Or follow it through I pretend no longer When we're nearing the end Gone way too far to start over again Oh, Reset the story Let the flag be unfurled When we're pushed to the edge of the world, the world, yeah We're pushed to the edge of the world It's been far too long Since I've seen the outside The light is now brighter When touching my eyes I pretend no longer When we're nearing the end Gone way too far to start over again Oh, Reset the story Let the flag be unfurled When we're pushed to the edge of the world, the world, yeah We're pushed to the edge of the world

I've been daydreaming in black and white I can't seem to paint life without having a fight I'm tired of the struggles and provin' I'm right Oh Baby, we gotta find a better way You rise up, you make it You shoot for the moon You break down, you break up Whatever gets you through You face life, you make life Spinning colors in the wind Maybe it's time to just be friends I've been daydreaming of bright colored life But ya can't make a rainbow with so little light I'm tired of complainin' and cold lonely nights Oh Baby, we gotta find a better way You rise up, you make it You shoot for the moon You break down, you break up Whatever gets you through You face life, you make life Spinning colors in the wind Maybe it's time to just be friends When I saw your baby blues I shot two rockets high When I kissed your ruby lips you made me wanna fly... But time has a way of shading all the joy So out the door, those eyes won't make me blue anymore You rise up, you make it You shoot for the moon You break down, you break up Whatever gets you through You face life, you make life Spinning colors in the wind Maybe it's time to just be friends Baby, it's time to just be friends

Take your time, take your time Lord knows I'll never find Just keep on turnin' those wheels in your tainted mind Stay in line, stay in line Don't wanna see the sign Just keep on hidin' all your secrets of the troubled kind When I wake up in the morning to your sleepy face I know your thoughts are cloudy, can't seem to find the place Well it's alright, alright to love me Let the magic come through No matter how the past keeps on'a haunting you I'm not the broken lover who caused you pain It's alright, alright to love me Caught you in daydreaming land When you were holding my hand Felt the wall built up high, feet dug in the sand Don't defend, don't defend Those old excuses you have planned I felt your pulse a-beatin', just admit it man Oh, today is not forever, It's just today And the past is just the past, till our dying days Well it's alright, alright to love me Let the magic come through No matter how the past keeps on'a haunting you I'm not the broken lover who caused you pain It's alright, alright to love me We're on this road together, no turning back We'll turn the waves upon the ocean, make a blood-red pact These ghosts can't last forever, but if it needs to be We'll make a bargain with the devil and soon break free It's alright, It's alright...It's alright Well it's alright, alright to love me Let the magic come through No matter how the past keeps on'a haunting you I'm not the broken lover who caused you pain It's alright, alright to love me

Sailing on an ocean of my emotions So in love with you I've traveled this far just to learn who you are On prevailing winds I flew Since I met you Since I met you No longer in solitude Summer breeze won't you help me, please Stay with her for awhile Bring your friend sunshine in And help me make her smile Since I met you Since I met you So full of gratitude I drifted along The current was strong It took me right where I belong With you With you Since I met you Since I met you Throw out the anchor, bring me ashore I want to thank her this woman I adore She brought me home, no longer alone On this beach hear skipping stones Since I met you Since I met you

The Right Place 03:22

Caught between the scenes in a magazine Aimlessly been staring As images deny, I can't recall why For so long just not caring Hardly feeling anything Anything at all It's always been the right place, the wrong time The right place, the wrong time There's no love with no grace It just can't be the right place The right place Trapped within the pages, lost for ages Yellowed by the sun Of poets and their dreams, life pushed to extremes And games I never won Hardly feeling anything Anything at all It's always been the right place, the wrong time The right place, the wrong time There's no love with no grace It just can't be the right place The right place When I'm with you I found the right place Believe what we do Through all that we face Can be feeling everything Everything that's all Yeah, we can find the right place, the right time The right place, the right time There's real love where there's grace Just put me in the right place The right place...
