Speak softly, dear,
Just enough so I can barely hear.
Cuz I don’t care to know what you’re gonna say.

And with the wind in your hair
You look at me like some careless affair.
I’m not mad, cuz when you leave
That’ll be easier to believe.

Oh…guess you gotta go…
Oh…guess you gotta go,
Guess that’s how the wind blows.

You’ve had me high in the air
My faith just a string keeping me there
We both know a wind is not a wind if it stays.

I loved the way you move
Why’d you have to move me too?
You blew me away, guess you’re not gonna stay around
To gently let me down.

Oh…guess you gotta go…
Oh…guess you gotta go,
Guess that’s how the wind blows.

Oh…guess you gotta go…
Oh…guess you gotta go,
Guess that’s how the wind blows.

Lyrics:

If you’ll be my navigator
I can be your aviator
And we’ll go taking off.
Let me be your instigator,
You can be my regulator
And we’ll get good and lost
 
Cuz I’m in the mood to
Burn up some altitude
And turn up some place I never heard of.
You’ve got that cool, calm
Attitude for latitude,
As long as you know A to B
Then in between is up to me!
 
If you’ll be my navigator
I can be your aviator
And we’ll go taking off,
Just the two of us.
Let me be your instigator ,
You can be my regulator
And when we’re good and lost ,
We’ll just laugh it off.
 
Bum ba dum ba dum…
 
You could use a little more adventure
And I could learn to slow down.
Two misfits who somehow fit together,
Now we’re going, going, gone!
We’re gone.
 
I’ll bring the passion,
You’ll keep us from crashing,
Then we can conquer the sky.
When I’m headed for happenstance
You’ll keep us intact,
But ask me if I’ve learned my lesson,
Not quite yet let’s do it again.
 
If you’ll be my navigator,
I can be your aviator.
 
If you’ll be my navigator
I can be your aviator
And we’ll go taking off,
Just the two of us.
Let me be your instigator ,
You can be my regulator
And we’ll get good and lost,
I’m saying when we’re good and lost,
We’ll just laugh it off.
 
Bum ba dum ba dum…

If you’ll be my navigator,
I can be your aviator.

Lyrics:

You lie on the bed,
Staring at what’s left
Of life as you knew it.
Can’t even imagine
Moving from this mansion
Of disappointment.
Love left without a word,
Nothing to ensure
That it was all worth it.
 
Forget getting any sleep,
An angry mob of thoughts
Is running through your streets.
 
So you got a heartbreak hang-up,
The kind that kills so close,
But I don’t want to see you hang up those hopes.
Heartbreak hang-up.                                                                  	.
 
Each day, facing all your friends,
Conversation can
Be cruel as silence.
Sympathy just taunts you,
Everybody wants you
To be you again.
But no, a clown is in your place,
The smile on it’s face
Will have a laugh or two,
 
Then you go home all alone,
That angry mob of thoughts
Is breaking down your door. (Bang! Bang!)        	
 
So you got a heartbreak hang-up,
The kind that kills so close,
But I don’t want to see you hang up those hopes.
One of these sleepless nights you’ll wake up
And see that plans were made to change,
But I know right now your mind is made up
To have a heartbreak hang-up.
 
So you got a heartbreak hang-up. (Heartbreak hang-up.)
But I don’t want to see you hang up those hopes.  (Heartbreak hang-up)
One of these sleepless nights you’ll wake up. (Heartbreak hang-up)
But I know right now your mind is made up
To have a heartbreak hang-up,
Heartbreak hang-up,
Heartbreak hang-up,
Heartbreak hang-up,
Heartbreak hang-up.

Lyrics:
I’m standing in the wake of an earthquake,
It shook me when it took you away,
A momentary dream, now forgotten memory
I can’t place.
It could be heavy if I let it crush me so
Why go remembering what wasn’t meant to be?
 
I’m falling out of love that never was,
Pieces of you, pieces of me, pieces of us,
Feeling the tremors of
Words we’ve left unspoken, things we’ve left undone.
 
Standing in the wake of an earthquake,
So still as time marches on,
There’s a heartbeat inside, it tells me I’m alive,
Yes, the sun shines on rubble even after you’re gone.
 
I’m falling out of love that never was,
Pieces of you, pieces of me, pieces of us,
Feeling the tremors of
Words we’ve left unspoken, things we’ve left undone.
It could be heavy if I let it crush me so
Why go remembering what wasn’t meant to be?
It could be heavy if I let it crush me so / I’m standing in the wake of an earthquake,
Why go remembering what wasn’t meant to be? / It shook me as it took you away.
 
I’m falling out of love that never was.
Feeling the tremors of us.
Pieces of you, pieces of me, pieces of
Words we’ve left unspoken, things we’ve left undone.

Lyrics:

I can’t speak for you
But when I speak I tell the truth,
I think I’m in love with you.
Sometimes I’m wrong but if I’m right, I wish I may, I wish we might
Fly to the moon.
 
Up, up, away we go, will we stop, I don’t know,
Gravity’s pulling the strings.
Higher and higher, the heavens get heavier,
Why does flying feel like falling to me?
 
Rockabye baby how the wind blows,
I can’t help but go where it goes,
Even if it’s in and out of love.
Some things unspoken, like goodbye; excuses that I hide behind
All fall down
When I’m with you.
 
Up, up, away we go, will we stop, I don’t know,
Gravity’s pulling the strings.
Higher and higher, the heavens get heavier,
Why does flying feel like falling…
 
Up, up, away we go, will we stop, I don’t know,
Gravity’s pulling the strings.
Higher and higher, the heavens get heavier,
Higher and higher, the heavens get heavier,
Higher and higher, the heavens get heavier,
Why does flying feel like falling to me?
