miles to go behind the wheel tonite chasing lines through sleeping towns rollin up on a place I dreamed of givin up on the street behind while the stars hold the night sky feel the sun begin to rise on a scene in a door I walked through long ago with a friend of mine maybe then we’ll see what we made and what we missed I’ll be back same time next year we were new and burned out on the street twice as hot as summer sun listening hard to a distant beat gettin down to a different drum soon enough we could make our own reasons didn’t need anyone at all we could live and die for free we could live our fantasy maybe then we’ll see what we made and what we missed I’ll be back same time next year isn’t everything the same? maybe then I’ll see you sitting right down next to me and you’ll whisper in my ear you wanna take a walk maybe then i’ll see what we made and what we missed I’ll be back same time next year

Make it Last 03:52
for every baby born there’s a reason why you learn to breathe you learn to cry can you show me where the lucky child is born never gonna say goodbye that’s all I wanted just to make it last hold on tight baby hold on fast that’s all I wanted it was too much to ask hold on tight make it last hold your breath and we’ll walk through the land of make believe I’ll pretend like I know the way all my life I never stopped running in your arms I was home to stay that’s all i wanted just to make it last hold on tight baby hold on fast that’s all i wanted it was too much to ask hold on tight make it last go on have your way I’ll make it through another day sometimes I just can’t dance there might come a day nothing matters anyway but the time we made it last

Miss Ecstasy 04:04
the last time I looked in your eyes I heard fearless angels call send me a heart unbroken and I’ll show you how to fall into the aching valley where lovers come to crawl roll your eyes miss ecstasy lay your body down with me float into the mystery and we’ll fly... listen up my frightened child there’s no use playing small nothing real is out here just mirrors in the hall wait beside your daydream hang your masters on the wall we’re waiting there for you roll your eyes miss ecstasy lay your body down with me float into the mystery and we’ll fly...ever fly high realize your body has a truth it needs to tell get into the way you move it will serve you well see those who try and break you and recognize their spells blow them all away roll your eyes miss ecstasy lay your body down with me float into the mystery and we’ll fly... forever fly high

Justified 03:50
I have lived underground in the ruins of a factory town the silk is gone the brick is old and the waters of the night run cold I have seen amazing grace holy men hold their faith while beggars walk without a place to rest their head or wash their face I’ve seen it in the faces I thought I knew living in places we’ve all been through justified justified out of love I’ve been lost in a crowd no compassion is allowed where lines are drawn by the names you wear and peace of mind an indifferent stare I followed in the footstep like my father did as they sold out justice to the highest bid justified justified out of love come untie my love burn the night falling from above no branch waiting for the dove come untie my love I’ve been shown left and right countless souls have seen the light they all rather fight with rocks in hand then live in peace with people they don’t understand young and old remember when we could blame our lives on other men it’s not good enough to compare now and then once hate shuts you down it never turns you on again every generation blames the one before waving to the children send them off to war justified just a lie out of love

4 a.m. we talked of flying waiting for the wind to blow us off this island it’s 4 a.m. again I’m trying to make due with one less dreamer on our side you’re one of us- don’t be shy step right up and claim your prize we’re so sorry we already missed you this is a consolation prize go right in why don’t you you’re right on time you colored in the gray like a sparkle in a blind eye the old north end was cold climbing down the avenue the smell alone would get us high you’re one of us- don’t be shy step right up and claim your prize we’re so sorry we already missed you this is a consolation prize everybody stay cool nobody gets hurt I’m getting tired of that line you’re one of us- don’t be shy step right up and claim your prize we’re so sorry you’ve already left us this is our consolation prize

Enough 03:46
did you know you knew did you see a show did you end up down on your knees with a long way to go did you wonder why did you sing the blues did you have it all at once did you have to choose why keep looking back time keeps running on a million miles away stage light fade to black I keep playing on for all the stars I’ll never see is enough enough when is when did we give enough are we alright so much harder to believe god bless the child who’s free did you start to stop did you here the news did you play that game with your heart did you win or lose are you still playing the fool did you right your wrong did you want one too did you cry did you lie did you come unglued are you still singing why keep looking back time keeps running on a million miles away stage light fade to black i keep playing on for all the stars we’ll never see is enough enough when is when did we give enough are we alright so much harder to believe is enough enough is the end the end can you break your fall if you never bend so much harder to believe god bless the child whose free... so much better than he seems to be

So Long 03:47
long ago when we were friends went down to the bitter end we made our sound and we knocked them down on a blanket in the park caught the sky and felt a spark coming back again glowing in the wind green light turned to red history on your mind you were falling backwards I was flying blind guess I knew it all along I can say that I was wrong but I can’t say so long back in woodstock laying low on a bender soon to grow into another round in lazy town next in line is next to know can’t take her anywhere she won’t go instant karma in the know guess i knew it all along I can say that I was wrong but I can’t say so long there’s no use pretending no hollywood ending no peace in comprehending just get used to spending nervous nights alone the names we carved in faith remain but roots were compromised w/ rain in our old playground so they cut her down say you want to love again foolish eye can’t see the end they’re bringing on until it’s come and gone talking to myself- better off this way i’m still trying to forget silly things you used to say guess I knew it all along iI can say that I was wrong but I can’t say so long

High Road 03:49
i believe the road least traveled is a story told with headlights on an empty street de ja vu comes shining thru shows you where you could have been I’ve always been a little slow in letting go after the lovers meet young heart play the part dreamers only know what a wonderful show but it’s over now and I wonder how I guess I should’ve known I can fly around the world I can learn about myself I can write a million songs will I love somebody else I believe that proof’s asleep deep inside of us never gonna stop the rain what you feel words are real you’re living in disguise I believed that one fine day I would come around come a time I’d understand I must accept my Juliet was written in my mind should’ve read between the lines but it’s over now and I wonder how guess i got to let it go I can fly around the world I can learn about myself I can write a million songs will I love somebody else

you can’t see the sign you don’t believe in you can’t find the space you need to breathe in stories in the sand are written in your hand you want something more than I can give you you can’t choose the life you want to live through voices in the night shadows in the light all that ever changes is your mind all the things we’re giving up are filling up your buttercup all the things worth waiting for are here all the things we’re fighting for are just the words that come before you don’t hear the song that I would sing for you you might listen once but it won’t ring for you the melody is strange the voice is out of range all these words mean something else to you you might hear if they came from you know who the act is off the stage rhyme is off the page all that ever changes is your mind all the things we’re giving up are filling up your buttercup all the things worth waiting for are here all the things we’re fighting for are just the words that come before try and understand singing in a band all that ever changes is your mind all the things we’re giving up are filling up your buttercup all the things worth waiting for are here all the things we’re fighting for are just the words that come before all light, all life every nation all creation all the shit they’re saying all the shit they’re spraying all the leaders lying all the people dying all the things we’re learning every wheel is turning every form of matter soon enough will scatter life is living love is giving life is giving love is living life is giving love is living life is giving love

I’m seeing wrinkled skin and evening coming on again raise up all your glasses and kiss your asses goodbye I could be a school for you I could bs a fool for you raise up all your glasses and kiss your asses goodbye when you know you don’t know skies are blue so are you when you grow you will sow all the seeds inside of you maybe there’s a second chance maybe this is our last dance raise up all your glasses and kiss your asses goodbye we could run away from here but the end is always near raise up all your glasses and kiss your asses goodbye take the time between your tears drink your wine and your beers raise up all your glasses and kiss your asses goodbye
