1. _ Afraid
Lie in this empty bed
With this aching head
You left me here this morning
Now I can't remember why
I let you in again
To get under my skin
And every time you disappear
Then I remember...
How I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...
[Chorus:]
I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I'm the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid
Now, there's no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am, and I remember
How you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move so I remember
I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...
[Chorus]
I look for you
But I can't see your face
Then I hear you
The only thing you say is
Don't look for me
'Cause you will never say
You won't hear me
You won't hear me
Why do we keep this up?
Why do we live like us?
When there is nothing left to save
Will you be afraid?
I am afraid right now
You already let me down
You are the one who can't be saved
If only I could say
I am afraid right now
You never will get out
You'll never let yourself be saved
You are so afraid
You are so afraid

2. _ You and Me and One Spotlight
It won't be long now
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
I'll hold you close then
And let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show, one last time
We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
I'll look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there
Together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we'll just err
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
To watch the world burning bright
We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show, one last time
It won't be long now
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)

3. _ Paper Walls
(Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Don't listen too close; their words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won)
Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Where the only thing that's real
Is visions we have of ten years ago
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and East Coast lines
We kept this scene alive
Here I am, still holding on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Don't listen too close; their words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Some love to hate and some tell you lies
So let's make a toast and kiss them goodbye
We'll kiss them all goodbye
Here I am, still holding on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone, yeah
Let's take what hurts and write it all down
On these paper walls and this empty house
And when our ink runs out, we'll burn into the ground
Here I am, still holding on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone, yeah

4. _ Date Line (I Am Gone)
Is this just a matter of
Me getting what I needed
Till I was safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline?
And it's just a matter of
Me keeping myself seated
Till the pilot killed the overdrive
And landed in a place where you can't
Find me there
Find me there
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
Then I am gone
I'm tired of you and me (tired of you and me)
And the space that's in between (space that's in between)
And I would rather be somewhere with better thoughts and warmer air
I'm tired of trying to be (tired of trying to be)
Somebody different than me (different than me)
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
When the lights go out tonight, I'm gone
I'll run from here
Run
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
And you still can't feel
When you can't escape
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone
Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
You can't find me there
You can't find me there
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real (the hurt gets real)
And you still can't feel (still can't feel)
When you can't escape (can't escape)
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone
Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
When the last plane leaves
And you cry for me
When you lie awake
And you feel it break
Then I am gone

5. _ Keeper
I wanna love, I wanna leave
I want you to love me, I want you to leave me
I want to stand where I can see
I'm watching you love me, I'm watching you leavin' me now
[Chorus:]
But I wish I could be somebody else
I wish I could see you in myself
I wish there was something inside me to keep you beside me
And say what you really feel
You know I need something that's real
I wish there was something inside me to keep you beside me
I wanna know if I could be
Someone to turn to that could never hurt you
But I know what you think of me
Yeah, you had a breakthrough and now I'm just bad news for you
[Chorus]
I should've told you everything
I never gave you anything
I should've told you everything
If I could give you anything
Then I would tell you everything
I wish I could be somebody else
I wish I could see you in myself
I wish there was something inside me to keep you beside me
And say what you really feel
You know I need something that's real
I wish there was something inside me to keep you beside me
I should've told you everything
I should've told you everything
I should've told you everything

6. _ Dear Bobbie
"Dear Bobbie,
Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do.
I remember pleated skirts, black and white saddle shoes.
Do you remember dancing that night? I do.
I still think of you when we dance,
Although we can't jitterbug as we did then."
Do you remember when?
How long has it been?
Nineteen forty-five
You opened my blue eyes
To see a whole new life
Do you remember when
I told you this that night
That if you're by my side
When everyday begins
I'll fall for you again
I made a promise when
I told you this that night
I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's all right, I'll be fine
When I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
"Do you remember the times we would give up on each other and get back together;
Then we finally was married in 1949.
We drove the yellow convertible all night long.
Do you remember? I do."
Life has led us here
Together all these years
This house that we have made
Holds twenty-thousand days
And memories we've saved
Since life has lead us here
And I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's all right, and I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
I'm coming home to you
Slipping off my shoes
Resting in my chair
I see you standing there
The silver in your hair
I'm coming home to you
When I lay tonight, when I close my eyes
I know the sun will rise
Here or the next life
As long as you're still mine, then it's all right
I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's all right, I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
"You have gray hair now, but you're a beautiful woman
And the years have been good to both of us.
We walk slow now, but we still have each other.
The glue of love is still bonding us together
Love is what I remember. Do you remember?"

7. _ Takedown
I feel things changing when I move
(It's a distance, it's a difference)
I'll cross this planet without you
(And you might call this a downfall)
It's one long night that I'm passing through
(It's a dark one; what have I done?)
It's one long night
[Chorus:]
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one, your greatest take down?
You take me down
Left last night with a long goodbye
(We cement why through a phone line)
I sold you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty when you leave me)
What's one more?
[Chorus]
You take me down
I won't get by; I won't heal in time
I won't get by
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one, your greatest take down?
You take me down

8. _ Five Becomes Four
Needed some time
So I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I've become
What I have done
I never asked to be the one
I'm riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down, only around
For you I go again
It's got to be easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down, dragging me out
How did you end up in that crowd?
[Chorus:]
Did you run away? Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
Try and put aside
Your history and pride
Maybe for one moment in time
We'll all be on your side
The story goes, nobody knows
What it was like when you were through
Someone who cared out in the air
It went and crashed down anywhere
[Chorus]
Remember the line "never say die"?
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go? I need to know
I waited here, you never showed
It's gonna be harder for me
I can't forgive so many things
When you weren't there, I was around
Why would you try and hurt me now?
Just tell me why!
Just tell me why!
(Did you run away?)
(Did you run away?)
Did you run away? Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
When five becomes four...
When five becomes four...

9. _ Fighting
Said I'd move on and I'd leave it alone
But before I walk out there is something that I need you to know
I got lost in a blink of an eye
And I can never get back; no, I never got back
You were not there when I wanted to say
That you were everything right and it wasn't even me to change
Now I got to go it alone, but I will never give up; no, I'll never give up
What am I fighting for?
There must be something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?
Said, I'm okay, but I know how to lie
You were all that I had; you were delicate and hard to find
Got lost in the back of my mind
And I can never get back; no, I never got back
You were not there when I needed to say
I hit the bottom so fast that my head was spinning around for days
Now I got to go there alone, but I will never give up
No, I will never give up
What am I fighting for?
There must be something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
Never give up on this
Never give up on this
Never give up on this
Never give up on this
Said I'm okay, but I know how to lie
I will never give up; no, I'll never give up
What am I fighting for?
There must be something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?
What am I fighting for? (No, I'm never going to give up, give up)
What am I fighting for? (No, I'm never going to give up, give up)
Said that I'd fight for the one that I found
I'm going to stay here while I wait for you to come around
I'll fight; you're apart of me now
And I will never give up, no, I'll never give up

10. _ Light Up the Sky
You're making a choice to live like this
And all of the noise - I am silence
We already know how it ends tonight
You run in the dark through a firefight
And I would explode just to save your life
Yeah, I would explode
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
Let me light up the sky
I can't find a wall to pin this to
They're all coming down since I've found you
I just wanna be where you are tonight
I run in the dark looking for some light
And how will we know if we just don't try
We won't ever know
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me make this mine
I'll ignite for you
Let me light up the sky
Just for you tonight
Let me help you fly
'Cause you won't have time
To cover your eyes
Or get your disguise
They won't ask you why
They'll just watch you die
And it's still so hard to be who you are
So you play this part
And the show goes on
But you've come this far with a broken heart
Yeah, you've come this far
And you're broken
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me make this mine
I'll ignite for you
I'll ignite for you
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
And it's still so hard to be who you are
But you've come this far with a broken heart
And it's still so hard to be who you are
But you've come this far and you're broken
Let me light up the sky
Let me light up the sky

11. _ Cut Me, Mick
I can't keep this together
And I might lose this year
I can't get through December
And you know all my fears
Some place somewhere behind me
I walked right through the truth
The truth is that you're the one thing
That always pulls me through
This troubled life I choose
[Chorus:]
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You bring me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
When I thought that I might be invincible
It wasn't long before I was invisible
To your eyes, and I swear
There's nothing left in here
And the more you say you don't care
The more I know you're there
[Chorus]
I can't keep this together
(You are the one that I need)
I can't stay sick forever
(You know that I can still bleed)
I can't stop this disaster
(You bring me down from my cloud)
I can't fall any faster
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
[Chorus]
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
You bring me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground

12. _ Shrink the World
If I could, then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
A life in love, a picture of a place I'm nowhere near
A bleeding heart, a good head start to anywhere but here
Just let me out; please, let me out before I turn into
A box of things reminding me how much I'm missing you (I am missing you)
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
And through the wall my fist you call, but then you always run
So what's it for, the love and war? It's only fair for some
You saved the girl, you saved the world; well, that's not true it seems
A lesson learned, speak out of turn; I bite my tongue, it bleeds (bite my tongue it bleeds)
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
Are you wondering?
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
If I could
Shrink the world tonight...
If I could
Shrink the world tonight...

13. _ Shadows and Regrets
I'm back, back in town
And everything has changed
I feel, feel let down
The faces stay the same
I see, see shadows
Of who we used to be
When I drive, drive so slow
Through this memory
When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
I heard, heard myself
Say things I take back
If I could, could retell
And make these stories last
I see, see shadows
Of who we'll always be
When I drive, drive these roads
That made our memories
When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go from the rest
The shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
Everything has changed (everything has changed)
The faces stay the same (faces stay the same)
Everything has changed (everything has changed)
The faces stay the same
And we were only kids
And our time couldn't end
And how tall did we stand
With the world in my hands
And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
