Sometimes it feels like I’m gonna break
But to give up now would be a mistake
Open your eyes, look all around				
This is our time, this is our town   
We've come this far, we'll get there soon 
I've got a lot riding on you

I know it hurts but we’ve got to be strong		
The way that we lived is forever gone		   
We’ll never cure all that is sick		  
We’ll never fix what can’t be fixed
But we are not broken, just licking our wounds		
And I’ve got a lot riding on you

Sometimes it seems like nothing will take
But to give up now would be a mistake
The night is over, here comes the dawn 
I feel a second wind coming on		
Our love is old, but we’ll make it new
And I have got so much riding on you					

Lalalalala lalalala
I've got a lot riding on you
Lalalalala lalalala
I've got a lot riding on you

I've Got A Lot Riding On You

When all is said and done
Did you stand or did you run?
Did you hold your head up high
Or did you clutch at the sky

Oblivion

None of this will endure
None of this was ever yours
There’s no room, there’s no light
There’s no touch, no sight

And I’ll toss this song
Like a coin into the pond

Now’s the time to release
All your fine memories
The day is done, but not too soon
The sun has gone to kiss the moon

And the ones we used to know
Arrange a rainbow

Oh I know I’ll never grasp
An architecture so vast
I’ll give up my complaint
And fall in love with my fate

Oblivion

As the daylight dims
We cast shadows on a scrim 
A reality so thin

And all I want is to live a wild life
And die a quiet death
In the arms of a melody to carry me home 

We come together and separate
We’re all tied up in what we create
Our love, our hate

My head is crammed with crisis talk
Hand-me-down ideas and thoughts
Bad news I can’t use

Cuz all I want is to live a wild life
And die a quiet death
In the arms of a melody to carry me home 	

I am breathless and bare
Quite alone but not in despair
Beauty is everywhere 

Will we ever get it straight?
Can we find a steady state
A higher vision to embrace

But all I want is to live a wild life
And die a quiet death
In the arms of a melody to carry me home
