He’s always on the road Though he’s got no place to go But he feels it in his veins and in his soul She’s always on his mind Though it’s hazy half the time But he can’t stop drinking wine to fill the hole He’ll walk The other way To flee the pain To try to cope She’ll run To win a race But never chase After him No, she just lets him go She’s always in a daze From the million different ways To distract yourself while staring at the screen He’s always on her side Though he doesn’t know quite why Cuz he lost her many years ago it seems And he’ll walk The other way To flee the pain To try to cope She’ll run To win a race But never chase After him No, she just lets him go She just lets him go But he don’t know SOLO He’ll walk The other way To flee the pain To try to cope She’ll run To win a race But never chase After him No He’ll walk The other way To flee the pain To try to cope She’ll run To win a race But never chase After him No, she just lets him go No, she just lets him go

All Our Days 03:16
We were trying to lie We were trying to fake We were standing around We were feeling so out of place But We were starving for truth We were starving for peace We were falling in love We were falling in deep All our days are like The sound of distant thunder All our days are like The calm before the storm All our days are like The world ablaze with wonder All our days are like A thought without a form All great things in life, it seems Lean to one of two extremes Those that rip your heart in two And those that mend your heart anew In either case, the heart is cracked Tears we shed can’t change that fact Both joy and pain break hearts, it’s true And love, it is the super-glue All our days are like The sound of distant thunder All our days are like The calm before the storm All our days are like The world ablaze with wonder All our days are like A thought without a form This thorn of crowns will pierce me through If what i’m worth is what i do This thorn of crowns will pierce me through If what i’m worth is what i do All our days are like The sound of distant thunder All our days are like The calm before the storm All our days are like The world ablaze with wonder All our days are like A thought without a form Oh

We’ve been pausing here Between all of our hopes and all our fears In this silence everything is crystal clear So let’s move this along Cuz i’ve been watching you As you watch me from the couch across the room And i’m feeling like this feeling won’t be leaving soon Why don’t you prove me wrong We don’t have too long Let’s skip to the last part The last part I think we’ve been wrong Let’s skip to the last part It’s the best part We keep parting ways And fighting for a chance to hold the space I’m hoping for a repeat of our last embrace Before this is gone We don’t have too long Let’s skip to the last part The last part I think we’ve been wrong Let’s skip to the last part It’s the best part The ending isn’t any bit more clear There’s no point in denying what we fear So let’s just keep on trying to bring it nearer to our hearts SOLO Oh We’re where we belong If we skip to the last part The last part I think we’ve been wrong Let’s skip to the last part It’s the best part Let’s go before it’s gone The last part Is the best part I think we’ve been wrong Let’s skip to the last part It’s the best part Let’s just keep holding on To the last part It’s the best part Cuz we’re where we belong If we skip to the last part It’s the best It’s where we belong

No i don’t wanna fight But i can’t let it go I call it love You call it hate But we both can agree the pain is great And with my dying breath i’ll call your name You’ll likely turn away but struggle just the same And i don’t wanna fight But i can’t let it go Cuz i think that i’m right But i don’t really know No We turn to love We turn to hate We turn to anything that seals our lover’s fate And with our dying breath we fight to stay Instead of letting go we make such work out of our play And we don’t wanna fight But we can’t let it go Cuz we think that we’re right But we don’t really know No The farther that we wander on The harder it is to hear ‘Til we barter with our hearts and face our fears And we don’t wanna fight But we can’t let it go Cuz we think that we’re right But we don’t really know I call it love You call it hate

Mexico 03:31
We traveled so far, burnt out the high-beams Life just goes by like an interstate dream A couple of kids ignoring the signs A full tank of gas past the borderline We open our eyes We open our hearts The big Texas skies The moon and the stars And we barely notice we’re in Mexico Well we caught that bus and we headed south So sure of our sense of direction I guess we lost our way, i’ll never know how We overshot our destination We open our eyes We open our hearts The big Texas skies The moon and the stars And we barely notice we’re in Mexico And we sing, “ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh, open eyes and hearts” We gave it our best, it wasn’t enough The road’s not that wide and the gravel was rough We ended up flat with nothing to spare We still got each other and Mexico SOLO We open our eyes We open our hearts The big Texas skies The moon and the stars And we barely notice we’re in Mexico (ah ooh) We open our eyes (ah ooh) We open our hearts (ah ooh) The big Texas skies (ah ooh) The moon and the stars

Ghost 03:41
Our hearts melted into one And the love still smolders on But i fear our paths got lost At the moment that they crossed Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I am nothing but a ghost Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh And i’ll always haunt you most Watch my veins as they grow cold Feel my life flow down the edge See the flame fall from my head Hope to god you’ll understand Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I am nothing but a ghost Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh And i’ll always haunt you most The smoke comes as we end Clouding emotions And masking our love as hate But i swear i’ll stay here Waiting my dear I will always stay Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I am nothing but a ghost Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh And i’ll always haunt you most Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I am nothing but a ghost And i’ll always haunt you most
7.
Satellite 03:42
When I saw your face girl I was so afraid Thinking you’d be my next mistake I was flying faster Than an astronaut And when we collided it was Hotter than Apollo’s flames Now I’m your satellite I may not always be the good guy The waves I bring can flood your eyes up But on your horizon You’ll see my bright side I know there is stardust In my atmosphere Making your tune so hard to hear You just draw me closer With your stormy eyes And that’s when we realize that This can be our cosmic song Cuz I’m your satellite I may not always be the good guy The waves I bring can flood your eyes up But on your horizon You’ll see my bright side Ooh we’ll twist and we’ll turn Until we have finally learned That it’s worth the fight I’ll return every night And you wont be alone Cuz I'm your satellite SOLO Ooh I’m your satellite I may not always be the good guy The waves I bring can flood your eyes up But on your horizon You’ll see my bright side Yeah We’ll twist and we’ll turn And I’m your satellite We’ll live and we’ll learn And I’m your satellite You will never be alone
8.
Promise 03:30
I’ll call to you I’ll call to you I promise to I’ll come to you I’ll come to you I promise to If there are days that fall like lightning I’ll be the clouds that hold the rain If there are nights that seem too frightening I’ll be the light that keeps you sane I’ll call to you I’ll call to you I promise to I’ll come to you I’ll come to you I promise to If there are crowds that seem demanding I’ll be the host that sets the stage If you are seeking understanding I’ll be the book that holds the page If there are dreams that seem too distant I’ll be the one that brings them close If there are times that you are resistant I’ll be the one that loves you most I’ll be the one that loves you most Cuz i know that you’re more than a beauty How you captivate my soul I see the things you don’t reveal to most And I want them all I’ll call to you I’ll call to you I promise to I’ll come to you I’ll come to you I promise to I’ll run to you I’ll run to you I’ll run to you

She took my heart As she took my hand And I died that day As I stared deep into her eyes And she took all my breath away She waved at me As I waved at her And we both felt shy As we fell headlong into the depths Of a wave that felt so right She walks with me She walks with me Though I may falter I cant find no fault in her Such a game of roulette we play As we suss this out The paths are there And the choice it’s clear We must choose the higher route And so we meet As I cross the street And she looks away Well I’ll always remember The way we walked together On that fateful day She walks with me She walks with me Though I may falter A cant find no fault in her No no She walks with me Dhe walks with me Though I may falter though I may I cant find no fault in her No SOLO She took my heart As she took my hand And I died that day As I stared deep into her eyes And she took all my breath away
10.
Oh my love My love Sleep my sweet And rapture with me As we escape These bodies will be All we leave behind For this world to remember us Smile my dove And we’ll fly away To the clouds above It’s where we can stay And be intertwined Like a fragrant rich perfume This melody Will lull us away And we’ll float on by To the deepest of seas Where we’ll sigh our lives away My love Breathe my friend And we’ll breathe as one Let our hearts ignite And eclipse the sun ‘Til our song is sung And our bodies move in time This melody Will lull us away And we’ll float on by To the deepest of seas Where we’ll sigh our lives away We’ll sigh our lives away My love My love My love

about

I know that you’re behind me
I smell you in the air
But if I doubt
and turn around
You’ll simply disappear
