Wicked High World 

A new day is dawning for me 
And for you there over the sea 
The places where you'd want to be are not here for you now 

And it's a strange old feeling to be lost in the pines 
Of a life you never knew but thought you'd left behind 
So long ago 
But it never really left you and crept up from behind 

But I guess that's just the way these stories go 

I was dreaming about a hurricane 
That swept all through a city made inside of your brain 
And I was wondering how all the services got in that day 

And it was just so very awful 
I had to turn my eyes away and face the side of life 
That told me all the horrors I'd seen that day 
Would be forever coming back again 

But it's always the same and then you're gone 

And it's the reason people make 
the biggest mistakes 
To try to swim beloved in a sea full of fakes 
In harmful places that only take the 
Best of what you are 

All the same, it's us and here we are 

It's on the backs of the leaves 
It's in the birds that we see 
But rising up over the trees 
It's a wicked high world 
In this wicked high world 

You should always be sure 
of someone else's heart 
Before you go 
and break your own.

WICKED HIGH WORLD

Just Say Hi 

Saw you walking round on the ground just the other day 
Could have just smiled in stride or tried to look away 

Instead I said "It's nice to see you, you're looking fine" 
When all I ever really want to do is only just say "Hi" 

But it's always good to see you 
And I hope you're well and your world is doing fine 

But the best that I can ever do is really just say hi 

Looking down on the ground like there's an earthquake 
You seem like you're sleepwalking in an awake state 
It's so strange to see you around all the time 
While you're otherwise engaged in a page in the book of your mind 

But I never see you singing like you used to 
And your eyes are not the same 
People say they change anyway 
Then we do it all over again 
it's no-one's place to try to tell you how to live your life 
So we just look away or instead we just say hi 

Just say hi

JUST SAY HI

Being Called Out 

Any useless information 
I thought that I could find 
That would make the thought of this real in your mind 
Fell away by the wayside when I heard the words 
And saw just what you said 
Projected there out of your mind 
What you're about 

Now you're being called out 
The problems only started when you opened up your mouth 

I could see the other side 
They were looking with both eyes 
And not believing what they're seeing 
Blinded by the gift of sight 
Overwhelmed and out of life 
They were scrambled up inside 
And filled with doubt about the causes they were about 

You're being called out 
The problems only started when you opened up your mouth 

But you care just what they say... 
You care just what they're talking about 

The problems started when you decided to open up your mouth 
You called out

BEING CALLED OUT

Listen To Lies 

You listen to lies 

I caught up with you every single day you were inside 
Making sure that everything outside was gonna be alright 
For when you decide to let your spirit be your guide 
And spread your wings and fly 

You listen to lies 

And they told you as a child you could achieve 
All you believe you need in this life 
If you just try hard enough 
You'll get just what you earned and so you tried 
And they were right 

You're left with all the pieces of the life you think you needed 
Floating by 
Your lack of diligence means you must have let it slide 

You listen to lies

LISTEN TO LIES

Three Times A Day 

Three times a day 
I only think about that girl three times a day 

First thing when I wake up 
When I close my eyes to sleep 
The only other time's when I'm awake 
I only think about that girl three times a day 

It was real and the kisses that I gave to her 
Were real upon her cheeks 
And I held her shoulders in my arms and I knew never to speak 
And I bit my tongue one hundred times in the hopes that I might stay 
Now I only ever think about her about three times a day 

It was real and the kisses that I gave to her 
Were real upon her cheeks 
And I wanted to see her everyday 
Instead I barely saw her once a week 
Now I don't see her no more at all 
There aint nothing I can do or say 
But man I still think about that girl 
About three times a day 
Three times a day

THREE TIMES A DAY

Earth 

Having met you 
I never thought I'd see 
or feel the way I do when I'm around you 
You're so fine 
Oh you made me lose my mind 
And my heart's on fire forever now I've met you 

Though I've only known the ways I do about you 
For such a short old time 
Every second stays with me alive here 
Behind these eyes 

I'd like to talk with you and find out all your hopes and dreams and fears 
And if you need someone to help you through the years 
I'd like to try 

But when you need to leave 
My smile will hide the tears 
Darling I could look at you for years 

Seeing reason I knew what I should do 
But being me just got the better of me 
Having always been the kind to be slack minded 
When the things that mattered happened to be near me 

If I don't start breathing now I know 
I'll never breathe at all 
Every second step up the mountainside 
Served only for a fall 

And I'll stay with you until my eyes can't see 
And if you need to be somewhere that's just far away from me 
i won't ask why 
But when you need to leave 
My smile will hide the tears 
Darling I could look at you for years

EARTH

Lovers & Dreamers 

And when you've seen me, come and find me 
I'm not that far away you know... 

In the inside of your heart I hoped that I might find 
Something you had left in there 
Or someone had left behind 

A place there stuck in the morning 
Where they cover it up with lies 

Seeing someones only warning 
Helps to hint or criticize 

And they know it gets you underwater 
But it takes so long 

I tried hard but I never saw reason 
The only thing I ever got was high out of reach 
And made from pastry in the sky 

If it's real I never saw it 
Let my senses lead me on so long 

Taking sides with few 
The shots ring out but they're never gonna keep it away from you 
You let them know 

The time speeds past but it's never gonna stop 

The Lovers and the Dreamers keeping time while they devise 
A solution to the problem 

Of the Earth and their demise 

And overall it seems the war has just begun to realize 
The inevitable reasons that the lovers and the dreamers have to die

LOVERS & DREAMERS

This is reality....




...if you look right over there...
