Sometimes I wonder
what you would have been like
if I had not decided
to move away to the other side.

Sometimes I wonder
what you would have been like
if I had not abandoned
you while your mother died.

Would you have been alright?
Would you have been alright?
Would you have been alright?
Would you...?

I used to imagine
us driving in a van.
All across the country
on tour in our favorite band.
Now I cannot imagine
you ever making plans,
except to go home early
to put another drink in your hand.

Bystander

There's a monster at our gate
telling lies and spreading hate;
turning us against ourselves;
turning fear into groundswell.

Now there's a monster at our door
promising that he's the cure.
He'll become a great states man.
He'll make our country great again.

Are we wise enough to find compromise.
Are we brave enough to learn we're the same.

Now there's a monster in our bed.
And now we're sure we've been mislead.
Cause' as he shouts and as he screams
he and his friends do as they please.

The Monster

Let's go to Tahoe.
Let's walk to the beach.
In the middle of winter
my mind's at ease.

The water is so still;
the mountains serene.
I breathe in the cold air; 
my mind's at ease.

Here in this city, 
where I've chose to live, 
everyone takes home
more than they give.

I am no different, 
But I’ve realized
That’s how my heart and
this place collide.

I've traveled too far into this foreign land.
It has been too long since I've felt who I am.

Tahoe

The world was big, you were so tall,
when we were younger.

You lifted me up above it all
when we were younger.

You showed me how to face my fears
and I grew stronger.

You showed me you’d always be near
and I grew stronger.

I never knew someone so loved
could be so lonely.
I thought someone so strong
would need somebody to help.

And now I’m off out on my own
across the country.

and you have never felt more alone
across the country.

I never knew someone so loved
could be so lonely.
I thought someone so strong
would need somebody.

I never knew someone so loved
could be so lonely.
I thought someone so strong
would need somebody to help.

Across The Country

Take all this hope away. 
Break the promise that you will always stay. 
Cos you will disappear. 
One day I’ll need you but you won’t be here.

It’s warm here waiting with you, 
as the morning becomes afternoon.  
The sun will set soon.

Everything ends; I’ll always lose.  
Everything ends; and so will you.
