Here we are
Theres nowhere else to go
And thats so far
From where we all could be
But you can't feel my disappearing
And you should take this for what it's worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
that the grass is always green?

There you are
You dream of something better
What's so wrong
With what you thought was true and
All the colors are disappearing
But you should take this for what it's worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
that the grass is always green?

This is it (this is it)
This is it (this is it)

If you feel like disappearing
You should take this for what it's worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
that the grass is always green?

This is it
This is it

I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things that you say
I'm not very good at persuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play

It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or re-arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

I'm not really sure of the coming attractions
I'm not really sure of the illusions we read on the wall
I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice
I'm not really sure if we notice it before we fall

It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or re-arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play

When I'm trying so hard just to beat you
I'm not really good at controlling my fate
I'm not really good at controlling my anger
I'm not really good at subduing my hate
I'm not really good (x3)

It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or re-arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

. . .


I sit alone and watch the clock
Trying to collect my thoughts
All I think about is you
And so I cry myself to sleep
And hope the devil I don't meet
In the dreams that I live through

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

All the smiles you've had to fake
And all the shit you've had to take
Just to lead us here again
I never had the things to say
To make it all just go away
To make it all just disappear

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Its my life
Its my choice
Hear my words
Hear my voice
And just believe

I sit alone and watch the clock
Trying to collect my thoughts
And all I think about is you

If you believe in me
That life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

This dark room another cigarette
The carpet strewn im getting sick of it
The end is near Im in the thick of it
And Ill be there soon if you can handle it

[chorus]
just save me
from all that i am
you save me
for the fuck of it
save me
just hold out your hand
you save me
from all of it

I try and speak myself you can do it too
and need no ones help im needing only you
so just pray for me and deliver it
you never take from me what im given

[chorus]
just save me
from all that i am
you save me
for the fuck of it
save me
just hold out your hand
you save me
from all of it

and all that i have become is you
the only good in me is you
and after all of this
the day will come to find out where
you take me
oh forsake me

so pray for me
am i forgiven
for what you take from me

[chorus]
just save me
from all that i am
you save me
for the fuck of it
save me
just hold out your hand
you save me
from all of it

come save me
pray for me
am i forgiven

What I leave and when you go
What I see and what you show
And what I guess and what I don’t
Is something you already, already know

I can’t live without
All I think about
All I want is you
You’re all I dream about
I can’t live without
All I want is you

The things I do
What I go through
And all I say when I’m away
And what I make from the shit I take
Is something you already, already know

I can’t live without
All I think about
All I want is you
You’re all I dream about
I can’t live without
All I want is you

Is you
Is you
Is you

You’re all I dream about
I can’t live without
All I want is you

I can’t live without
All I think about
All I want is you
You’re all I dream about
I can’t live without
All I want is you

(You’re all I dream about)
I can’t live without
All I think about
All I want is you
(I just can’t live without)
You’re all I dream about
I can’t live without
All I want is you
(And all I think about is you)

And all I want is you

. . .


I'm one step from a breakdown,
Two steps from being saved
Just try to see this through...
I'm three steps from this nightmare
And four steps from the door
The rest is up to you...

Pardon me
While I just turn my back and walk away
Pardon me
If I can't listen to the things you say
Pardon me
If I can't fake it while you still believe
Pardon me...

I'm one step from forgiveness
And two steps from my grave
We're all just passing through...
Three steps from redemption,
Four from the devil's door
On a path that leads to you...

Pardon me
While I just turn my back and walk away
Pardon me
If I can't listen to the things you say
Pardon me
If I can't fake it while you still believe
Pardon me...

Pardon me
While I just turn my back and walk away
Pardon me
If I can't listen to the things you say
Pardon me
If I can't fake it while you still believe
Pardon me...

I'm two steps from salvation,
But I'm only taking one
Pardon me...

. . .


We Change The Rhyme
Forget The Reason
Waiting For The
Change Of Season
Drawing Near
It's Almost Here
So Save Tonight
Forget Tomorrow
Say Goodbye
To Time We Borrowed
It's Always There
It's In The Air

Like Voices In The Rain
Like A Song Without A Name
Like Angel's Wings
And Whisperings
Of Love We Lost
And Found Along The Way

Do You Take The Time
To Really Wallow
In The Footsteps
That You Follow
Gets You Where
Gets You Anywhere
So Here Today
And Gone Tomorrow
With The Time You
Had To Borrow
It's Always There
It's In The Air

Like Voices In The Rain
Like A Song Without A Name
Like Angel's Wings
And Whisperings
Of Love We Lost
And Found Along The Way

Like Voices In The Rain
Like A Song Without A Name
Like Angel's Wings
And Whisperings
Of Time We Lost
And Found Out In The Rain
Like A Song Without A Name
Like Angel's Wings
And Whisperings
Of Love We Lost
Of Love We Lost
And Found Along The Way

We Found Along The Way

Break Away

[No lyrics]

You’re my world
You’re my shelter from the rain
You’re the pills
That takes away my pain
You’re the sun
That shines upon my face
You’re the thing
That I won’t compromise

In a world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you
Up in you

You’re the fire
That warms me when I’m cold
You’re the hand
To hold as I grow old
You’re the light
That’s still showing me the way
This is my time for me to say

In a world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you

You’re the pills
That takes away my pain
Without you
Life wouldn’t be the same

In this world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you
Up in you

I’m still tangled up in you
I’m still tangled up in you

. . .


A piece of glass
In the sand under your feet
It cuts you deep
It makes you hate the beauty that you see
And you wonder where you are
How you ever got so far
Now you question what went wrong
It’s your heart

It’s raining again
There’s a dark cloud over your head
It follows you around
It’s bringing you down
It’s raining
It’s raining again

A welted rose
And you’re the gaze of all you see
You buy the flaws
And miss the beauty that is yours for free
Because of lies you are so far
From the things that matter now
And to only wonder how
It’s your heart

It’s raining again
There’s a dark cloud over your head
It follows you around
It’s bringing you down
It’s raining
It’s raining again

Come on
Come on get it right
Come on
Come on make it right
Come on
Come on it’s alright

It’s raining again
There’s a dark cloud over your head
It follows you around
It’s bringing you down
It’s raining
It’s raining again

It’s raining
Raining again
There’s a dark cloud over your head
