This city's easy to get lost in
the minute you step out your door.
You just become another person
surrounded by a million more.
They give it any way you take it.
Well I've heard it all before.
It's time for me to put my stake in
and I won't hold back any more.
I won't stop.
No I'll never give up.
It's all uphill from here.
There's somethin' out there waitin' for me,
but I can't see it when it moves.
I keep my eyes out for the sunbeams
'cause they'll illuminate the truth.
There's nothin' left to figure out now,
but there is somethin' left to find.
Sooner or later I will know how
to stay the course and bide my time.
I won't stop.
No I'll never give up.
It's all uphill from here.
Still lookin' for a sign,
but I'm not sure I'll ever find one that satisfies me.
So I won't rush these days,
then wake up askin' to rewind them. No, I won't try it.
I won't stop.
No I'll never give up.
It's all uphill from here.

Let It Go
04:11

Keep runnin' back and forth from one thing to the next,
in your mind you're always out of time.
Worryin' away all the moments you have left,
you say you're happy but I never see you smile.
Well honesty is elusive when you're dealing with yourself,
so let the breeze rush in and clear you mind.
And let it go, just let it go.
You'll find the world keeps spinnin' without you tryin' to turn it on your own.
And let it go, just let it go.
No one has to come to your rescue 'cause you don't need it anymore.
Clocks are meant to be observed, but never erased.
That kind of fight just can't be won.
So waive your surrender and begin your victory.
And what you have just might become enough.
No you're not the only one who can handle what you do.
It's time for you to realize it too.
And let it go, just let it go.
You'll find the world keeps spinnin' without you tryin' to turn it on your own.
And let it go, just let it go.
No one has to come to your rescue 'cause you don't need it anymore.
Go, go, go, let it go...
I said you just got to let it go! Just let it go.
You'll find the world keeps spinnin' without you tryin' to turn it on your own.
And let it go, just let it go.
No one has to come to your rescue 'cause you don't need it anymore.

Something Like Love
03:59
|

It seems a little funny to me
that I could be so naive
to think that you'd fall for me.
But you know a boy can dream.
It's just as harmless as it seems
if you could fall for me.
And I promise I'll give up
if you give us a try
and we find that we don't fly.
But what if
is all I'm thinkin' of
what if we could fall in something like love?
Love, love, love, something like love.
I know it's been crossin' your mind.
If you just give it a little time,
maybe you'll fall for me.
I'm watchin' the glow of the lights,
wishin' that you were by my side.
Why can't you fall for me?
And I promise I'll give up
if you give us a try
and we find that we don't fly.
But what if
is all I'm thinkin' of
what if we could fall in something like love?
Love, love, love, something like love.
And I promise I'll give up
if you give us a try
and we find that we don't fly.
But what if
is all I'm thinkin' of
what if we could fall in something like love?
Love, love, love, something like love.

Moments and Frames
05:31

And I hope you don't mind
if I say that I miss you,
but you're just not the kind that I forget about.
And I hope you don't mind
that I'm still waiting for you.
I can't imagine life without you in it now.
Everything, everything still moves without you.
I'm stuck inside the moments and the frames.
Everything, everything still moves without you.
The day's go by but I still feel the same.
I'm stuck inside the moments and the frames.
And I hope you don't mind
I wonder how you're doing.
'cause when I hear your voice
it brings me back to life.
And I hope you don't mind
that you're what gets me through this,
but staring at your picture will never make you mine.
Everything, everything still moves without you.
I'm stuck inside the moments and the frames.
Everything, everything still moves without you.
The day's go by but I still feel the same.
I'm stuck inside the moments and the frames.
Everything, everything still moves without you.
I'm stuck inside the moments and the frames.
Everything, everything still moves without you.
The day's go by but I still feel the same.
The day's go by but I still feel the same.
The day's go by but I still feel the same.
I'm stuck inside the moments and the frames.

I'll Go
04:51
|
|||
|
I try to not get too attached
'cause I'm the only one who's constant.
As every step becomes the path
I can't help feeling like I've lost it.
Wish I could see where I should be.
Then I would know how to get closer.
Right at the time I fall in love
time has the nerve to say it's over.
Am I where I belong, or do I belong wherever I am?
Oh the thought is the hardest part.
The idea of giving, giving it all, and getting nothing back.
Where's the justice in that?
It's not easy but I'll go.
Too many moments left to live.
Too little time for me to live them.
I wanna see it all play out
before I make any decisions.
I won't say in twenty years
I left my heart back on the runway.
You can't give in to what you fear,
so live for love and not for money.
Am I where I belong, or do I belong wherever I am?
Oh the thought is the hardest part.
The idea of giving, giving it all, and getting nothing back.
Where's the justice in that?
It's not easy but I'll go.
Lead me to what I need
so I will know I truly need it.
Oh the thought is the hardest part.
The idea of giving, giving it all, and getting nothing back.
Where's the justice in that?
It's not easy but I'll go.
It's not easy but I know
if I don't do what I'm meant to I'll never be whole.
It's not easy but I'll go.

Tomorrow
03:40
|
|||
|
Moving quickly so it blends in
never stop to breathe 'cause that takes time.
Monday blurs me into to Tuesday.
I see why you say I'm falling behind.
Every day it's all the same.
There has to be another way.
Tomorrow I'll be someone different
I just don't know who it's going to be.
Maybe I wouldn't keep changing
if the world around me just stayed the same.
Keeping up with life's adjustments
is so much harder than it seems.
And I let everybody down cause I won't ever
measure up to what I see in me.
And I can't keep a pace like this.
This life was meant for me to live.
Tomorrow I'll be someone different
I just don't know who it's going to be.
Maybe I wouldn't keep changing
if the world around me just stayed the same.
Tomorrow I'll be someone different
I just don't know who it's going to be.
Maybe I wouldn't keep changing
if the world around me just stayed the same.

Soft Days
08:33
|

|
Red eyes looking out at these red skies,
waiting up for the sunrise, and the promise of light.
At these times I deepen these worry lines.
Have I run this whole life dry? Am I past the high?
Whatever comes, I'm not alone.
This life is a much better thing than I give it credit for.
Soft days, feeling the clouds laying over me.
There's so much that I can't see. It all feels so out of reach.
But outside you can't feel the glow of the firelight.
I think it's time to go back inside. All these doubts will pass in time.
Whatever comes, I'm not alone.
This life is a much better thing than I give it credit for.
And where I run, I'll make it home.
This life is a much better thing than I give it credit for.
And if the sun ever stops shining
you'll still be my silver lining.
'cause nothing is ever as bad as it seems.
Whatever comes, I'm not alone.
This life is a much better thing than I give it credit for.
And where I run, I'll make it home.
This life is a much better thing than I give it credit for.
All these doubts will pass
All these doubts won't last
All these doubts will pass in time.
This life is a much better thing
This life is a much better thing
This life is a much better thing
Than I give it credit for.
All these doubts will pass
All these doubts won't last
This life is a much better thing
Than I give it credit for.
