. . .


Save yourself.
Because the only thing that matters is that you get away from the pain
and the thought of losing your mind.
Don't blame yourself.
It was everyone around who made you act this way.
There's the stage
and your chance to watch it go down.

Don't fake yourself into ever, ever thinking about yesterday.
That was then, this is now.
Don't call it undone.
Don't take what you've been dealt.
You can exit out the back and make your getaway before anyone can see
the damage you have done.

This time is the last time so be here, here now.
This time is the last time. Somehow make it through.

State your case.
You've got everyone's attention. What can you say?
Thanks or forget
what you've been given.
Take your place.
Do you think that you deserve the best of everything?
We don't get why you're here. Can you figure it out?

This time is the last time so be here, here now.
This time is the last time.
You've got to get away.
Oh, I get lost in the thought of losing you.
You've got to get away.
I know it's a dream but it must be true.

Wave now goodbye.
It's the lesson that you've been given.
You can always move on to better things.

This time is the last time so be here, but be here now.
This time is the last time somehow.
This time is the last time so be here, but be here now.
This time is the last time. Somehow make it through.

Lately I’m alright
And lately I’m not scared
I figured out, that what you do to me
Feels like, I’m floating on air

I don’t need to know right now
All I know is, I believe
In the very thing that got us here
And now I can't leave

Say anything, but, say what you mean
Cause I’m caught in suspension

Now, I’m wanting this for sure
And I’ll beg for nothing more
I’ll plan all day and drive all night
You’ll love what’s in store

I cant seem to stop this now
Even if it's not so clear
And I'll take what I can get
If you want me here (If you want me here)

Say anything
But, say what you mean
When you whisper you want this
Your eyes tell the same
We are gaining speed
I can barely breathe
Cause I’m caught in suspension

It’s enough for me to get excited
Is enough for me to feel well
Whoa, whoa... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Say anything
But, say what you mean
When you whisper you want this
(Your eyes tell the same)
We are gaining speed (Suspension)
I can barely breathe (Oh, I can barely breathe)
Cause I’m caught in suspension (Suspension)
I’m caught in suspension

Say anything (Say Anything, Suspension)
But, say what you mean (Oh, I can barely breathe)
I’m caught in suspension (Suspension)
I’m caught in suspension
We are gaining speed (Suspension)
I can barely breathe (Oh, I can barely breathe)
Cause I’m caught in suspension (Suspension)
I’m caught in suspension

Say anything (Say Anything, Suspension)
But say what you mean (Oh, I can barely breathe)
I’m caught in suspension

I'm a mess,
I guess.
It's what I've asked for, it's what I've needed.
Well, you knew me better than that, or at least you did and something happened.
But once again something's happened.
The confidence you held in us is the rope we almost hung ourselves with.
At times I wonder if we really took the steps to break right through it.
I know that there were better days, but to see the light and to feel the rays.
Life was always back and forth and we were idoling and making useless progress.

Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun.
Someday will come back to us,
if you're willing let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun?
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way.
But some say we're headed for destruction.

I'll ask you
What in the world should we do?
The light is green our break is through.
Are we not trying or are we trying too hard?
Well, you know I never want to miss,
I hold on tight and reminisce.
But it's bittersweet to me.
When time stands still as it's trapped inside the letterbox you gave back to me.
But I'm the one who keeps on reading...reading
But I'm the one who wants to let it go.
I'm the first to speak.
You're the last to know.
Another scene that we're creating,
I need to know if we're still making useless progress.

She greets the day with her hair wet
She asks them to vacate the building
Because she's got a plan they don't know yet
And if it goes wrong, there'll be no one to see

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do

If she could just get the word out
God knows she's trying
They're watching her with eyes closed
She's always stuck with the old route
Does anyone knock when they barge in to beat her down?
Will you come back?
It's all she wants to know
She knows she's part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It'd take a miracle
So that's what I'm praying for
No one can know just how she feels
She won't use the phone, she's too tired to pick it up
She's going back to the old way
She sits in the classroom to learn with the others

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do

Please don't give up when it's easy
Don't you know that me and Jesus will cheer you on?
He's the only one that will be constantly everything you need
Will you come back?
It's all she wants to know
She knows she's part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It'd take a miracle
So that's what I'm praying for
Yeah

She lives on Tisbury Lane
She lives on Tisbury Lane

When I close my eyes to this paradox place,
ill fly away far away from here,
I’ll get away and dream,
dream of you,
when its all said and done,
and the night has come,
ill disappear,
take flight on the wind of wishing you where here,
fading light like a star whose life has been gone for years

and I'll fly,
fly across the sky,
and I’ll leave,
leave it all behind,
if you’d be here,
here with me tonight,
I’ll be fine,
I’ll be fine,
I’ll be fine

I’ll disappear,
take flight on the wind of wishing you where here,
fading light like a star whose life has been gone for years

and I'll fly,
fly across the sky,
and I’ll leave,
leave it all behind,
if you’d be here,
here with me tonight,
I’ll be fine,
I’ll be fine,
I’ll be fine…

By the way you brought me here,
It makes believe,
the best is still yet to come,
and I don't want to leave.
Forgive my hesitation but I'm learning to trust in you.
Help me to dream these dreams
because I don't have a clue.

If you'd be honest and say what you mean you know I
would promise I'd do anything
because I know that without you I'm giving it away.

Is this what you wanted?
Cause I'm willing to change.
Now that I'm certain,
there's much more to gain.
You've introduced me to the moment
but I'm looking to stay for good.
You asked me to stay forever.
Well, you know that
I would, I would do anything.

If you'd be honest and say what you mean you know
I would promise I'd do anything
because I know that without you I'm giving it away.

The nights are forever and maybe I'm wrong,
but it feels like I'm so lost without you.
So I step towards the heat, it's the way I can see,
and it makes me believe that it's you.

And by the way you brought me here it makes me believe the best is still yet to come
and I don't want to leave, I won't, but anyway...

If you'd be honest and say what you mean you know
I would promise I'd do anything
because I know that without you I'm giving it away.

The nights are forever.
I can't get to sleep cause I know there's a reason.
I'm in this too deep and I'm sure that without you,
I'm giving it away.
Yeah.

X12
Woo Hoo
I’m Giving it away...
Giving it away...
Giving it away..

. . .


The nights are getting colder.
The red light's on, it's over.
To give up now doesn't make much sense.
So this is my goodbye.
Surprised, because I thought I could walk you home tonight,
but you're leaving me here on the defense.Goodbye, I'm not going to waste this time,
this light that burns will keep on fading.
Goodnight, I'm not getting up off this ride,
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive.

I've written you this letter,
got it back return to sender.
But I just can't remember you being quite like that.
Misunderstand,
we're holding hands,
we're at the beach,
we're throwing sand.
As the lights just go up all around us, I can't believe it's over.

X2
Goodbye, I'm not going to waste this time,
this light that burns will keep on fading.
Goodnight, I'm not getting up off this ride,
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive.

I'm sitting under falling stars.
Do you miss me where you are?
I'm making plans to be with you.
But have they come unglued?
What am I to do,
without you?
Without you, without you

The nights are getting warm again.
They've let you go, I let you in.
Everything you're saying sounds right tonight.
The waves are crashing on and on.
We're running even if we're wrong.
This force is driving me to test the speed of light

X3
Goodbye, I'm not going to waste this time,
this light that burns will keep on fading.
Goodnight, I'm not getting up off this ride,
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive.
