Drop
03:00
|
|||
She walked in the room, you could have heard a pin drop
I can’t remember the last time I held my breath
She sat up at the bar and she ordered a tall one
She didn’t put it down until the very last drop
(Chorus)
She looked at me, I felt my heart stop
I could not take my eyes off of her
Is there a price to pay, I’d lay it down in hopes...that you would stay
Don’t think she ever paid for a drink that night
I know it’s true cause I bought her a couple of rounds
Now it’s one am, many have tried to take a seat next to her
She looked at me and I’m still holding my breath
She walked my way but kept on walking
(Chorus)
She looked at me, I felt my heart drop
I could not take my eyes off of her
Is there a price to pay, I’d lay it down in hopes
She looked at me, I felt my heart drop
I could not take my eyes off of her
Is there a price to pay, I’d lay it down in hopes…that you would stay
She walked into the room, you could have heard a pin drop.

Do No Harm
04:01
|

You take her hands,
Your words are kind,
But the smile it never reaches your eyes.
You touch her body,
Stake your claim,
But beneath the tender words it’s all lies.
You cut her open,
Broke her bones,
Drug her up and left her for dead.
You convince yourself
That it's all her fault,
And you walk away shaking your head.
You've got killer hands
and a killer smile,
Countin’ up another notch.
How many bodies have you left behind,
How many times you've gotten away?
Not on my watch.
You make it so easy,
The stories you tell:
The woman didn’t have what it takes.
And nobody guesses,
Nobody knows,
‘Cause surgeons bury their mistakes.
You've got killer hands
and a killer smile,
Just another life that you lost.
How many bodies have you left behind,
How many times you've gotten away?
Not on my watch.
I know what you do,
I see who you are.
This time I caught you in the act.
Well, to your surprise
The patient lived,
And now for once the crime is a fact.
You’ve got blood on your hands
And blood in your eyes
Now you’re thinking something’s wrong with your scotch.
How many bodies have you left behind?
This time you’re not getting away!
Not on my watch.
Not on my watch.
Not on my watch.
Not on my watch.

Truth or Dare
03:15
|
|||
Last night as we said goodbye, we played a little game,
You said a word, I answered, and you tossed it back again.
You said truth, I asked dare?
You said truth, and ask with care.
Alright, the truth, then: do you dare?
Then tonight under the raindrops as we listened to the sound,
While lightning laced the sky and thunder rolled around,
I said truth, you asked dare?
I said truth, and ask with care.
And you said truth --
(Chorus)
Do you dare be the fool who rushes in
where angels fear to tread?
Will you let your old heart lead the way
And maybe lose your head?
Will you leave those tattered dreams behind,
Or fall in love instead?
Do you dare?
Do you dare?
(Bridge)
But I’m bad at this, been here before, do you really want this too?
Been dragged from heart to heart, it breaks each time, yet here I am with you.
So tonight as we walked hand in hand, we played a little game,
You said the words. I answered, and you softly said my name,
I said truth, you asked dare,
I said truth, and ask with care,
Alright the truth --
(Chorus)
Do we dare be the fools who rush right in
Where angels fear to tread?
Can we let our old hearts lead the way,
And maybe lose our heads?
Can we keep those tattered dreams alive,
And fall in love again?
Do we dare?
Do we dare?
Well, I do.

The Dragon
03:55
|
|||
When we heard the news of a coming storm,
We were a thousand miles away.
We were headed home anyway.
Put the pedal to the metal,
Raced home to find you.
As we watched the news of the coming storm
We were still too far away.
So we drove faster anyway,
Put the pedal to the metal,
Raced home to get you.
(Chorus)
They told us stay away,
Leave this place,
Get out now, run away,
But we had to race
Into the mouth of the dragon.
Into the mouth of the dragon.
When we brought the news of the coming storm
You told us you would stay
But we begged you anyway
Put the pedal to the metal,
We tried to move you.
(Chorus)
They told us stay away,
Leave this place,
Get out now, run away,
But we had to race
Into the mouth of the dragon.
Into the mouth of the dragon.
(Bridge)
The dragon, she's the fury
The dragon, she's the wind
The dragon, she's the tidal wave
That drowns the best of men.
The dragon, she's the unexpected
rage from Neptune's den.
She will crush you in her flight
Then she’ll tear you up again.
Then when the news of the coming storm
Finally hit home
And love won the day
We put the pedal to the metal.
(Chorus)
They told us to get away,
Leave this place,
While you still can, run away,
Get away from the dragon.
Outrun the mouth of the dragon.
Outrun the mouth of the dragon.

TV

My mind is turned off, I can’t seem to think
Eyes wide open, I can’t blink
I turn my head to make a sound
Turn my head, I can’t turn around
My face has gone blank to a pale white stare
When I finally turn you off, you really don’t care
(Chorus)
What I’m thinking,
how I’m feeling,
and I’m falling...
You think for me and you lead me astray
False information night and day
Turn my head to make a sound
Turn my head, I turn around
My mind has gone off to an empty space
Too far from truth without a trace
(Chorus)
What I’m thinking,
how I’m feeling,
and I’m falling.
What I’m thinking,
how I’m feeling,
and I’m falling...
(Bridge)
Hey, I can’t turn away
Hey, I watch you every day
My mind is turned off, I can’t seem to think
Eyes wide open, I can’t blink
Turn my head to make a sound
Turn my head, I turn around.
(Chorus)
What I’m thinking,
how I’m feeling,
and I’m falling...
I'm falling
I'm falling
Falling
Falling...

Harmony
03:51
|
|||
Alone for years, I was content.
Done with tears, all sorrow spent.
A solo voice, a single song,
A lonely choice, but never wrong.
Slow and sweet, another note,
Voices meet, and gently float,
The quiet sound, it calls to me,
Sing with me in harmony.
(Chorus)
Sing me a lullaby, sing me to sleep,
Sing me a sad song, make me weep.
Bring me a sweet song, make my heart leap,
Sing with me
Will you sing with me?
Our voices met, our hearts as one,
Our souls a duet, and sorrow undone.
Then you drifted away, lost to the wind,
And I faced the days without you again.
(Bridge)
But I'd rather have made music with you
Than anyone else I’d ever meet,
And though I sing alone once again,
The road we shared was long and sweet.
(Chorus)
Sing me a lullaby, sing me to sleep,
Sing me a sad song, make me weep.
Bring me a sweet song, make my heart leap,
You sang with me
Oh, and you sang with me.
Oh! I'll sing you a lullaby, as you go to sleep,
Sing you a sad song, while I weep.
I’ll sing you a song, as you sink through the deep,
You sang with me,
Oh, and you sang with me.

I Believe
04:03
|
|||
Like a lighthouse that burns for miles and miles, I can still see you
Like a fire that burns with a steel blue flame, I can still feel you
(Chorus)
In my mind, you’re the perfect part of me
Hold on tight...I told you I’d take you for a little ride
In my dreams, you’re the one that I could see
I believe in you and me
Like the wind that blows on the back of sails, you will always push me
Like an anchor that digs into the earth, you always held me
(Chorus)
In my mind, you’re the perfect part of me
Hold on tight...I told you I’d take you for a little ride
In my dreams, you’re the one that I could see
I believe in you and me
Like the ocean waves beat upon the sand, we will always be
Like the moon that shines into the night, you will always see
(Chorus)
In my mind, you’re the perfect part of me
Hold on tight...I told you I’d take you for a little ride
In my dreams, you’re the one that I could see
I believe in you and me.
In my mind, you’re the perfect part of me
Hold on tight...I told you I’d take you for a little ride
In my dreams, you’re the one that I could see
I believe in you and me.

How Do We Say Goodbye
03:37
|
|||
How do you say goodbye?
When do you let go?
When do you stop fighting not to let your sorrow show?
Where do I begin?
How do I write this song?
How do I make music for you
— the words come out all wrong?
You played by your own rules,
Always on your own,
The world went this way, you went that,
It's how your life has gone.
I remember you,
Always out of place,
The solemn girl who faced it all
with humor and grace.
(Bridge)
And did you know
How many caged hearts you set free?
It always took you by surprise,
All the love you could never see.
We told you we loved you,
But you never believed it.
I hope you can see it now.
(Chorus)
How do we say goodbye?
How do we say farewell?
Who's gonna tell us the tales
we hoped you would tell?
How do we say goodbye?
How does the heart let go?
Where are the words
to stop the rain in my soul?
Time's a thief.
You were gone too soon.
The spirit moved you;
And now you’re over the moon...
(Bridge)
You must have known
You had to be home by Christmas Eve,
'Cause in the morning you were gone.
Did you know you were gonna leave?
I held your hand,
I told you I loved you,
And we said goodnight,
Now how do I say goodbye?
(Chorus)
How do I let you go?
How do I say farewell?
Who’s gonna tell you the tales still left to tell?
How do I say goodbye...

My Old Man
02:35
|

Hey my old man, how’ve you been?
Are you still looking for your friend?
Have you seen his ghost, has he been around?
He will be found.
Hey my old man, where you going?
Could you find the time, time’s folding
Well you’re far from home and feel alone,
wanna to go home.
(Chorus)
People say we're like the funny clowns beneath the big top
And I agree we’ve had the best time of our lives
Don’t be forgotten
You won’t be forgotten
Don’t be forgotten
You are home
Hey my old man, remember me,
I loved your life, it was so free
You will always be my greatest dream,
My greatest dream.
(Chorus)
People say we're like the funny clowns beneath the big top
And I agree we’ve had the best time of our lives
Don’t be forgotten
You won’t be forgotten
Don’t be forgotten
You are home

Did you come along talkin’ fancy,
Take your wine and take your dancin’?
I’ve played the game many times myself.
All the schemes and all the plans
Aren’t so hard to understand;
Wind ‘em up and leave them on a shelf.
Well I'll lie to you if you’ll lie to me,
‘Cause anything’s better than the truth,
The ostrich hides its head in the sand.
While we waste our lives in covering,
A part of us is smothering;
It’s easier to run than make a stand.
You say there’s a part of you inside
You naturally just have to hide;
I don’t know but I’d just be confused.
We pay for love with so much pain,
We pay for sunshine with the rain;
Ain’t it sad how we pay our dues.
(Bridge)
But if I’m right,
We are all light,
And I’m a mirror for my brother.
Can’t you see,
We reflect each other.
I don’t have to lie,
You don’t have to cry,
We really don’t have to act at all.
I know there’s a light in me,
And it shines so bright in you;
Can’t you see the shadows on the wall?
Well, every child leaves a spark,
Every fire lights the dark;
We live our lives exactly as we choose.
And the moral of the story is
That life is so much more than this;
I wish that we could win and never lose.
Ain’t it sad how we pay our dues.
And the moral of the story is
That life is so much more than this;
I wish that we could win and never lose.
Ain’t it sad how we pay our dues.
