Lyrics:
Where does life go?
I won’t be home until this evening
Where does time go?
Every part has been deceiving

I wake up
And find a reason to walk outside 
A reason to walk outside

Where should i go? 
Spend my weeks daydreaming
What do I know?
Often seems I’m overthinking

I wake up and find a reason to walk outside
A reason to walk outside 
A reason to walk outside

I start again again and again
This way my world keeps on turning 
I look back out and I find 
A reason to walk outside 
A reason to walk outside

Lyrics:
I don’t go along like nothing is wrong when it’s clear to me
That what you really think I need is your empathy
You must be kidding me
You know I can’t afford those little luxuries 

Oh no 
You never talk with your head
Boy what you doing?
You only talk with your heart
Oh what’s that feeling?
You never talk with your head 
Boy what you doing?

Ever since you’ve known me you’ve been acting so mean
I guess that’s why you found me to treat you right
You tell me all your bad dreams; I tell you only good things
But to be honest I don’t think we were right for each other

Don’t bite your tongue you don’t have to
I think I’m better off from you 
No need to complicate it
No need to complicate
No need to complicate it

Oh it’s such a tragedy 
When your reality is not in line with your dreams 
With your dreams 
Your truth will always find it’s way out 
It will leave you there with nothing left to doubt 
Your truth will always find it’s way out 
Don’t leave me here 
With nothing but your doubts

Oh no you never talk with your head 
Boy what you doing?
You only talk with your heart 
Oh what’s that feeling?
You never talk with your head
Boy what you doing?
Ever since you’ve known me 
You’ve been acting so mean
I guess that’s why you found me
To treat you right
You tell me all your bad dreams
I tell you only good things
But to be honest
I don’t think we were right for each other

Don’t bite your tongue you don’t have to
I think I’m better off from you 
No need to complicate it
No need to complicate
No need to complicate nothing, nothing
Don’t bite your tongue you don’t have to
You want someone to hold on to
No need to complicate it
No need to complicate
No need to complicate it ah

Lyrics:
Oh my god there she is and there I was
She sits so quietly reading a fashion magazine
And dreaming of the places she could be
Dreaming of the places she could be
Dreaming of the places she could be

No, don't turn away
There's something i've been missing
Something you saved
You, you've been away
You kept my heart in rhythm
My mind strayed

But oh my god there she is and there I was
Black leather on her skin
Lip stick kiss me again
Hold my head and let's pretend
Like you really thought of me that way back then
Hold my head and let's pretend your love's innocent
Your love's innocent

No it's what we do
People fall in love in a moment
It's never through

It's why you cry when you hear someone died
It's why you fall when you catch your lover's eyes
It's why you flash your jewelry so bright
To feel something inside

But oh my god there she is and there I was
Black leather on her skin
Lip stick kiss me again
Hold my head and let's pretend
Like you really thought of me that way back then
Hold my head and let's pretend your love's innocent
Your love's innocent
Hold my head and let's pretend your love's innocent
Your love's innocent

But oh my god there she is and there I was
She sits so quietly reading a fashion magazine
And dreaming of the places she could be
Dreaming of the places she could be
Dreaming of the places she could be

Lyrics:
Keep talking it's alright I don't care 
Your little words can't hurt my ears 
And either way I've heard that joke before

We're fake laughing we don't see eye to eye 
So it comes as no surprise it's over goodnight 
I'll see you in the morning 

But not before then 

I'll see you when the times right 
Once I find my new life 
When I can get away 
And find the words to say 

I'll tell you when the light's right 
So you can see from my side 
Why my heart breaks by such a little weight 
Little weight

So keep talking I don't care what they know 
Or what friends you went and told 
And either way they don't say my last name right 

They don't even try 

I'll see you when the times right 
Once I find my new life 
When I can get away 
And find the words to say 

I'll tell you when the light's right 
So you can see from my side 
Why my heart breaks by such a little weight 

By such a little weight 
You took back your name 
You took back your name 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh 

So keep talking like I just don't care 
Keep talking like I just don't even care 

So keep talking I don't care what's been said 
Or who you're bringing to bed 
Either way we wake up each morning

Lyrics: 
Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Life is short, better go and see
Take your time, please your soul
When it’s really right, you’ll really know

Ah Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Love is real you better go and see
No kind of money could please your soul
You better do what you love to do and then do it some more

Ah Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Cause love turns cold
You’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh Joan
You’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh Joan

Don’t be the wife who waited for me
Life won’t forget easily
Dreams you keep inside your head
Open, released, and back again

Ah Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Cause love turns cold
You’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh Joan
You’ll turn love into disaster
Oh you’ll turn love into disaster
Oh Joan

Don’t be the wife who waited for me
Life is short, better go and see
Take your time, please your soul
When it’s really right, you’ll really know

Ah Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Ah Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Ah Joan, don’t be the wife who waited for me
Don’t be the wife who waited for

Lyrics:
What to do what to do 
Sitting inside with nothing to lose, 
But myself, in your eyes 

So come to me come to me 
In times of darkness, In times of need 
And I will be by your side 

Cause I don't ever want to go at this alone 
There's only so much time to spend on my own 
And what am I supposed to do, when I'm not over you?

Up in smoke, up in smoke
I lit the match before it broke
Before we broke 

So take me back, take me back
I learned my lesson, in fact this bottle is empty 

And I don't ever want to go another minute
I can't think of this life without you in it 
And what am I supposed to say, when you go walking your way? 

Well go easy, won't' you go easy, 
won't you go easy on me?
and go easy won't you go easy 
won't you go easy on me?

And I don't ever want to go and not tell you how I feel
All the books I read tell me this is real 
So give me one more try to rearrange these lines 

And go easy
won't you go easy 
won't you go easy on me?

And go easy 
Won't you go easy 
Won't you go easy on me? on me

As I look around waiting for something to do 
I'm really just waiting for you

And the finer things in life are rather small but oh so true 
So tell me when I'm falling would you give me your two hands?
Or watch me go and save them for a better man?
From the Coast to the Sea, Darling please

Go easy 
Won't you go easy 
Won't you go easy on me? 

And go easy 
Won't you go easy 
Won't you go easy on me?

What to do what to do 
Sitting inside with nothing to lose 
But myself in your eyes

Lyrics:
The time will tick and you will grow, you hardly know 
What you're capable to do, when you thought you'd lose
But you're winning so start living my friend 
Stop giving in to a bitter end 
An ending or a new beginning can both be found 
Hey now, just look around
Won't you look around? 

Cause when you're looking you might see this little man 
standing on the corner of the street, he looks just like me 
But we're not the same, something has changed 
We're not the same, something has changed 

He takes his time he's really very slow
He's not the one to really ever know 
He fooled us all what a clever show 
And the story goes

That you never came through 
You never came through 
What was stopping you? 

So don't you loose your frame of mind
Of who you are inside, I'm sure you'll find 
With open eyes you will see the sun 
And all it brings, all it brings

But we're not the same, something has changed 
We're not the same, something has changed 

He takes his time he's really very slow
He's not the one to really ever know 
He fooled us all what a clever show 
And the story goes

You never came through 
You never came through
You never came through 
You never came through 
What was stopping you? 

You lost yourself let your heart decide 
Cause too many times we change our minds
And sometimes we change our lives

Lyrics:
Well how much further to go? 
If I sit too long my feet will get cold 
And these ideas will grow old 
So I will tear a new leaf 
I'll turn the page and try to believe 
In what's destined for me 
But I'm just like you 
You've got your plans I know you do 
And you're hoping they'll come true 
I'm leaving in the morning 
I don't know where I'm going 
Would you be there? 

I'll leave my things at home 
I'll hit the road with nowhere to go 
And if you need me come find me 
I'm turning off my telephone 
And you should follow your dreams 
Go to school, do all the right things 
Who knows what it may bring? 
Well I'm leaving in the morning 
I don't know where I'm going 
Would you be there? 

So I'm stumbling through the streets 
I'm thinking of the people we used to meet 
And I found a reason for my defeat 
I never had it all 
Just a little more I'd be ten feet tall 
And you couldn't tell me nothing at all 
But I finally found a road 
And towards the end there's a place I want to go 
I'm not afraid of what I know 
So I'm leaving in the morning 
I don't know where I'm going 
Would you be there?

Lyrics:
I'll tell you in a moment
I said I'd let you know 
I'm gonna take it real real slow

I'll tell you in a moment 
Everything you need to know 
Give it time, don't let me go 

On & On it goes…

So I'll tell you in the evening 
When the sun is low 
When the light barely shows 

On & On it goes…

But you said, "I don't know" 
Cause you have grown 
And this shows
If you needed something more you should have let me know 

But On & On it goes...

On & On it goes…

But you said, "I don't know" 
Cause you have grown 
And this shows
If you needed something more you should have let me know 

You said we were fine but now you're gone
You said we were fine but look who's wrong 
You said we were fine when all you needed something more all this time 

You said we were fine but now you're gone
You said we were fine but look who's wrong 
You said we were fine when all you needed something more all this time

Lyrics:
baby are you serious 
i can’t keep doing this 
and what’s the meaning of your necklace 
it hangs around your neck 
like a period at the end of a sentence 
signifying an ending 
or rather I’m just admiring 
your need for attention 

oh you can’t believe i said that 
i really wasn’t trying to get back at you 
for all the things you used to say 
and all the things you used to do 

baby are you serious 
i can’t keep doing this 
and wouldn't i be so remiss 
not to mention all the words you said 
like “i love you” 
and “come back soon” 
oh an empty room never felt alone 
until the day i met you 

you can’t believe i said that 
i really wasn’t trying to get back at you 
for all the things you used to say 
and all the things you used to do 

oh oh oh oh 
i'm serious 
oh oh oh oh 
i'm on my feet again 
oh oh oh oh 
i'm serious 

i'm serious i'm serious i'm serious
