Changes 05:34
Come now Come and see just where I've been Go out See just what the day brings in I was younger then Lying, funny how I bend the truth Changes, whenever I am with you
2.
Cover me, quickly Sit me on the ceiling So I can just stop dreaming Wide awake, without me Not with me Run around inside it Always undecided Is it just bad timing? Wish I was excited Excite me If I go on lying Just to prove something What am I justifying? Everyone is dying
3.
Somewhere 02:13
How can I say I'm sorry? Keep an eye out, look for me How can I tell if you love me? Keep an eye out, wait for me
4.
Stuck in the middle Dead grass and sand in my shoes I tried to figure it out I drew a line around you Right on the surface I tried to figure it out Whenever I try to remember I always end up confused I know you're still sitting beside me I hope you don't try to forget me I always think about you Down at the bottom I always knew you were right I tried to figure it out I took a look at my life Backwards and forward I took a look at myself Which way I am coming or going I never really can tell I never said what I wanted to say You want ahead and smiled at me anyway I think you know me too well
5.
Am I alive? Just give me a minute while I open my eyes I can stay a while Why do we leave? The light coming through the blinds Is all I can see Wanna go outside How can it be? You flew out of nowhere, and Right into me Look up at the sky
6.
Finally I can see how stupid I have been Is this what I really do believe? Is it just my personality? Lie to me Tell me what kind of person I will be And I'll find out whatever it means Just to see what's right in front of me Tell me why Are these specks of dust inside my eyes? Couldn't see it even if I tried 'Cause my head's still swimming in the sky Still I lie Say hello when what I mean's goodbye Or that there's no reason left to cry I can feel it creeping up my spine I'm a man But that sure doesn't tell me who I am And this job doesn't make a lot of sense There isn't money in the world I wanna spend Close my eyes I'm a big, tall tree inside the sand You know that I'd be with you once again If I could just stop blowing in the wind
7.
Sam 02:07
Walk outside for miles You always beat me to it Look out at the driveway There's something in it You were always first to laugh about it I think you could tell how much I need it Always wish me well Just to keep me dreaming Stare back at yourself In the hallway mirror Look up, smile and wave Just to keep believing Time can slip away But you will never leave me
