Sometimes you've gotta hold onto the things That make life seem real 'Cause every once in a while Something good will come along That takes your breath away 'Cause I know What it's like To feel left on your own For things to slip through your fingers like sand Sometimes you've gotta push through all the pain That makes the heart grow strong And through the darkest nights I wish that I could sleep To dream of the times we had 'Cause I know What it's like To feel left on your own For things to slip through your fingers like sand And I know That I've lied To try to tell myself it's all right So I can pick up the pieces when they fall How was I wrong? Somebody said that it'll be all right And I believed him Sometimes you've gotta let go of the thoughts That make you feel alone 'Cause when I see your smile It takes me to a place I thought I'd never go 'Cause I know What it's like To feel left on your own For things to slip through your fingers like sand And I know That I've lied To try to tell myself it's all right So I can pick up the pieces when they fall

The Rain 05:03
If you could pause a moment Would it always feel the same? Would you try to read your emotions Like letters on a page? Are we drawn like flies to a light To the things that make us feel alive? Are we wasting all our time When we put our hopes so high? Before the sea Calms and recedes The waves will rise again Before the sun Comes over the hill The rain will fall again If your thoughts could paint a picture Would they paint it all in grey? Would you switch from fact to fiction And pretend that you're OK? Do we tape over our mouths To stop screaming everything out loud? Do we hide from the light we've found Amongst the shade, behind the clouds? Before the sea Calms and recedes The waves will rise again Before the sun Comes over the hill The rain will fall again The leaves fall from the Trees onto the ground They float along in the Wind without a sound Without a sound Before the sea Calms and recedes The waves will rise again Before the sun Comes over the hill The rain will fall again Before the sun Comes over the hill The rain will fall again

The sky is white And the birds won't sing And the trees are all on fire Cracks appear In the frozen ground And I hear the voices screaming Your name And in the fire I can see your face Oh I need to get away 'Cause something's chasing me Surely this should be easier I need a change of pace And just a little space I need something more Something more The birds don't fly With their tattered wings And the smoke is rising higher Shadows dance In the mist And the trees exchange whispers Of your name And in the fire they can see your face Oh I need to get away 'Cause something's chasing me Surely this should be easier I need a change of pace And just a little space I need something more Something more Something more I am tired of being here I'm tired of giving into fear I need to get away 'Cause something's chasing me Surely this should be easier I need a change of pace And just a little space I need something more Something more Something more

Footprints 04:16
Close your eyes Sleep And I'll meet you by the trees Go and run Hide Try to forget the memories Walk in the sun Don't stray into the shade Come with me Tonight And our ship will sail away Oh, your hands were cold As the hail came down And they waves, they rose All around But as we sailed for home You and I, my friend We were warm Run away With me We'll lay beneath the stars I would give Up All I own to have your heart Now I've seen A place Where people rarely go Hidden Away Like footprints in the snow Oh, your hands were cold As the hail came down And they waves, they rose All around But as we sailed for home You and I, my friend We were warm I would walk the earth If it meant I could be with you We could have the stars And then we'd take the moon I'd crawl along the shores Shout your name as the waves roared The foam would sting my eyes As the water drowned my cries Drowned my cries Oh, your hands were cold As the hail came down And they waves, they rose All around But as we sailed back home You and I, my friend We were warm

I watched you drift away And leave me alone On this isle Of isolation But I will brave the storms Of the ocean And build a boat To sail me home And maybe I will drown Sink down, sleep soundly Or maybe I'll be lost With no salvation But I will search the stars And the illumination Will light the way back home Back to you Your face was in the waves It hypnotised me And I dreamed Of running through the jungle But then I felt the pull Of the maelström It pulled me down And maybe I will drown Sink down, sleep soundly Or maybe I'll be lost With no salvation But I will search the stars And the illumination Will light the way back home Back to you And now the storm has taken hold Of me A prisoner of the sea And I can't sail away this time To you To where I wanna be 'Cause I'm sinking down (sinking down) Water is crushing me, I'm fading out (fading out) Drinking up the poison as I'm sinking down (further down) Water is crushing me, I'm fading out (fading out) The stars all cast their light on the wreck They bleed as the waves rush over my head And maybe I will drown Sink down, sleep soundly Or maybe I'll be lost With no salvation But I will search the stars And the illumination Will light the way back home Back to you

Go to sleep You'll see me in your dreams And I'll wait for you Beside the stormy seas Escape while you can This world of enemies Just leave this place And all your memories Take my hand Follow me down Forget the world That let you down Don't wake me up I've found the way to go There's a place for you and I Along this barren road So take my hand As the world starts falling down We're together now And we are getting out Take my hand Follow me down Forget the world That let you down Heed my words Follow the sound Forget the world That let you down I will find you In the dark Feel the beating Of your heart A thousand voices Scream your name We can't go back there We're not the same Take my hand Follow me down Forget the world That let you down Heed my words Follow the sound Forget the world That let you down
