Caroline 
I’m proud to say I’m still that pissed off Northern boy you once knew
But hey, isn’t that the way we keep playing to our parts to stay true

All these thoughts of not much consequence
Nevermind, it doesn’t make much sense
Caroline I'm still holding on for you

Caroline I hope life’s kept you well and brought you all its joys
I could never keep you happy like those other boys

Up here it’s cold and dark, and maybe so am I
I’ll keep looking for you in the stars in the sky

Goodnight
I ask, why begin again
When I know, it will only have to end
Begin again, even though the past's not past
Move along, your shadow's left for last
So why should I begin again
Why should I begin again

Tonight, Orion marks my steps
The night sky, dark is still my friend 
Look north, Aurora lights your face
Lights dim, maybe so’s my fate
Tonight, tonight I walk alone
Just tonight, ‘cause I'm coming home

So good night my love
So good night my love
So good night my love
I'll be there soon

Turn the page
Our book is never closed
Even if we tonight we walk alone 


Goodnight

The Things We Wish We Were
You wouldn't know him, 
Or want him know you 
And that's ok, 
He's just fine for now
He can see his dreams
But he doesn't know where they are
He’s sure he’ll find a way
And maybe he’ll be a star
You never saw him before
But now you’ll see him everywhere
He'll bring these dreams to life
And then he’ll know the stares

Life's a race against time
Sometimes I'm winning
Sometimes it's beating me
Maybe I never heard the starting gun
‘Cause there’s the things we are
The things we’ll never be 
And there's the things we wish we were

 Maybe you've seen her somewhere
But I'm guessing no
Maybe she'll change the world
But you'd never know
Her story's in her songs
The words flow through her head
But she's a figure dressed all black
Not knowing she's been blessed
And there’s the terror of knowing
Her dreams are coming true
But the crowds are calling her
Just need to follow through

Because it’s all just life
It’s only just your life

Last Flight Out 
It's been ages since I've been in Chicago
Life of me I don't know why I want to go
It's not the center
Or any better
No matter what I tell her

Been sitting home too long I've got to fly
Just have to go don't need a reason why
Escape among the crowd
Silent in the clouds
But trying not to think out loud

Call it wanderlust if you have to
Don't have anything that I have to do
There or anywhere
Find somewhere 
And I'll be there with you

No more time to waste
To win this human’s race
Just got to make it through allright
I’m not trying to run from you
Don’t think I’ve been untrue
Just get me to that plane tonight

Get me the last flight out
It isn't you
I swear it isn't you my love
I'll take the last flight out
Before I lose
And finish what I’ve just begun

Old Age & Treachery
When the strange 
And wond'rous truths 
Of our time
Make their way
Upon the stage
Before their prime

Old age and treachery
Shall overcome

The shining signs
Of love inspired
Will be denied
The tempest wins
What's yours is mine
& You're cast aside

Old age and treachery
Shall overcome

When the ocean found its start is
When the earth first broke her heart
And if my eyes can find your soul
Then just one gaze can burn a hole
When the birds forget to sing
And never bring another spring  
Your youth is just another toy
To leave us all a bit annoyed
We'll pluck you by the greenest shoots
And salt what's left down to the roots
I'll take your trite banality
And show you stark finality!

When the strange
And wond'rous truths
Of our time
Make their way
Upon the stage
Before their prime

Old age and treachery
Shall overcome
