Avalanches
When I was born
First signs of the snow
No idea
How much we'd have
With access to everything
Now Everything is the same
I miss the days when
I could connect
On the other end
Refrain:
Avalanches shining bright
I can still put up a fight
Let's go outside disengage
Let's be present in our age
We're not meant to be in caves
Echoing what strangers say
We could shout it we could plead
We'd be happy if we leave
What is the next thing I hear this all time
On to the next thing I think I've changed
Sometimes the first draft is better unadorned
Let's have the laugh
And keep each other warm
Underneath the stars
Refrain:
Avalanches shining bright
I can still put up a fight
Let's go outside disengage
Let's be present in our age
We're not meant to be in caves
Echoing what strangers say
We could shout it we could plead
We'd be happy if we leave

Beyond the Wall
I wanna run into the field
Wilth all the loving I could yield
And I would crush these blades of grass
Cuz we are never coming back
Refrain:
Beyond the wall beyond the wall
Take your chances on the fall
Beyond the wall beyond the wall
Take your chances on the fall
But I won't leave until it's real
So tell me how you really feel
The wind is blowing at our back
And it will never hold us back
Refrain:
Beyond the wall beyond the wall
Take your chances on the fall
Beyond the wall beyond the wall
Take your chances on the fall

Instincts
03:16
|
|||
I left the matinee
To find that it was dark out in the rain
I fell in love with you
But there were different paths that we could choose
I love you just the same
There's an image in my mind I couldn't change
Don't second guess the day
When you come back in spite of everything
Refrain:
Oh we need to use our instincts
We can figure it out
Oh I don't wanna over think
Take the words right out my mouth
Oh we need to use our instincts
We can figure it out
Oh I don't wanna over think
Take the words right out my mouth
I need a new escape
Cuz the memories of you don't entertain
Remember how it was
How we could press play and never pause
Just a song we could sing
Then forget the words then forget everything
Listen to our heart
It's beating faster don't let it fall apart
Refrain:
Oh we need to use our instincts
We can figure it out
Oh I don't wanna over think
Take the words right out my mouth
Oh we need to use our instincts
We can figure it out
Oh I don't wanna over think
Take the words right out my mouth
A long long time ago you'd said this be forever
A long long time ago you'd said this be forever

Urban Legends

|
|||
Refrain:
You could live like urban legends
In the kind of world that we could plan
You and I could live forever
In the kind of world that we could stand
What's keeping you up at night? What's keeping you up?

Wake

Fate was the last
To enter my mind
I could control
I didn't need to find oh hey
What can i do?
I need a change that's much different from before
Rosemary glasses
I squint until I see more
And gardens they will grow
Refrain:
Every morning I wake for you
Every morning I wake for you
I don't sleep, but I'm dreaming too
Every morning I wake for you
Rosemary you're all that I see
Rosemary you're all that I see
There will be a day
When you're sharper than me
Won't take long, you'll just have to see oh yeah
Still a long long time away
Refrain:
Every morning I wake for you
Every morning I wake for you
I don't sleep, but I'm dreaming too
Every morning I wake for you
Rosemary you're all that I see
Rosemary you're all that I see

Another round for all my friends
Man it's good to see you again
I know we haven't spoke in years
But we don't need no words to fear
Refrain:
Silent days of my youth
Makes me swoon over you

When you said we should end this
I wrote it in a song
With words that resonated
For crowds to sing along
And piece by piece it could pick up
It could climb right up the charts
And we could turn this heartbreak
Right into a work of art
I suppose that's one way it could go
But I wouldn't want that
If I'm on my own and oh
Refrain:
Help me find a way to get back home
Because the reasons that I need you were never shown
And won't you take me back tonight
we'll try to make this right
Oh I miss you more than you could ever know
Cuz I took you for granted
And there's really no excuse
I'm finding out the hard way
How much there is to lose
And piece by piece and stone by stone
I'm gonna turn this all around
Cuz what's a love without a fight?
Ain't that what's love about?
I'ts a show that must go on and on
Brick by brick dear
I'm gonna build you Rome and oh
Refrain:
Help me find a way to get back home
Because the reasons that I need you were never shown
And won't you take me back tonight
we'll try to make this right
Oh I miss you more than you could ever know
I feel it breaking through
On the other side
Right across the room
Make me feel alive tonight
Refrain:
Help me find a way to get back home
Because the reasons that I need you were never shown
And won't you take me back tonight
we'll try to make this right
Oh I miss you more than you could ever know

Revolution
01:09
|
|||
Refrain:
Don't wait until the revolution comes
It's all we ever need to be free
I'll stay until the revolutions done
There's so much that needs to be seen
The sun is shining with the windows shut
The blinds and shades I can see
The moon is rising but I never know
Inside I know what it means
Refrain:
Don't wait until the revolution comes
It's all we ever need to be free
I'll stay until the revolutions done
There's so much that needs to be seen
