Sunbeam

A little love 
Steps out on my sunbeam
Yeah, the rain is gone
Can you stay a little longer now?
Between you and I and the sun
We rely on too much to hold in our hands 
There's a pill for this 
And there's a book for that
Will the heart of this 
Broken plan be Patient now!
Be patient now (repeat)

The manic mind
That controls this retired smile
Sees your hand in mine
And it seems to be working now
Behind most eyes 
There's a real fine line
Between the promise 
And the fool
Are you a cure for this?
Is there hope for me?
You know the waiting 
Can be so cruel

Be patient now

All you need is a little sun
I think the same goes for everyone
When all you have will never change 
It needs to shine 
Or be rearranged

Come on!

Be patient now!

Regard

Come on my courageous ones
Don't give up now
Even though you're out of love
You can't forget how
You're never too old or too young
To hold it in
They're gonna lift you up
Knock you down
Warm you up
It's cold again!

I can't keep up
My beautiful one
Where are you going?
Even when your full of Shit
You know I let you win
(you always win)
You're never too old or too young
To be a fool again
Are you gonna build me up
Or tear me down
Throw me out 
Or let me in?

Why must I hurry up and wait?
I always find myself alone
For far too long
If you were me
Would you hesitate leaving?
You're fading out
While I am moving in
There's no reply
To my regard

Come on my courageous ones
Don't forget now
It ain't easy to find yourself
So don't lose it
You're never too old or too young
To be out of place
So, are you gonna
Build me up
Or tear me down?
Another one's gone without a trace

Chorus

Come on

When you take that road now
Do you realize the things 
We've overcome?
I hope you've made your choices 
Count
They were yours from the start.

Turn Your Radio Off

You turn up some classic radio song
The ceiling bows and the plaster is falling
You've maxed out your giant volume knob
You dance around while your parents
Are calling
She's out of control!
Turn your radio off!

The house is sleeping once the lights go out
You can't control what keeps you pacing about
You wanna hear it
You've gotta hear it now
You turn your radio on!

We were all young once
Sneaking out of a window
To take the car for a spin... Yeah!
Screaming tires with the radio on
Turn it on
Turn it up again
Turn it up again

Turn your radio off!
Why won't you turn it off?

Everybody Talks

Everybody Talks

If you tell me what you want
I promise I'll give it a try
Cause I believe I'm headed for something good

I don't need fame or money
What I need is a brand new start
She said, "I believe I'm headed the same place too... 
With you."

You're a hard one to find
I can't lose now
What everybody wants

You look only at me
In this crowded room
While everybody watched...

Fools play their hand
In a players only game
But I believe I'm playing something new
With you.

You're a hard one to find 
I can't lose now 
What everybody wants

It is only you and me
In this crowded room
While everybody talks.

You're a hard one to find
I can't lose now what everybody wants

You look only at me
In this crowded room
While everybody watched...

Heart, Head and my feet 
Don't let me down.

You're a hard one to find
I can't lose now
What everybody 

It is only you and me
In this crowded room
While everybody talks.

When they talk I can't hear
The sounds theyre making
But when you look at me
I know what they're saying

Reach the End

Reach the End

There were flashing lights
And screaming sirens
On quiet, well lit streets
Alcohol and Medicine were all
Just common, old routines
For judging eyes in every window 
Everything will change
Because perfect people think 
Average should stay
Quietly restrained.

Well their checking his pulse
And calling it quits
Will there be someone there 
Who just witnessed it
He was strong but he's dumb
"Do you know where's he from?"

So you shouldnt take that train 
To California
You're prettier than they could ever be
So you hold on tight just as long as you
Can manage
When you've made here 
You'll know you've
Reached the end

I better stretch this Nickle
And tighten my tie
Tonites the night I'm gonna get it right
So hold on for it and hold on to it 
I never use to lose
Does anyone listen to a word they say?
Talk is cheap when you pay your way
Through everything
Is anything you say ever really true?

When they're checking your pulse
And calling it quits
Will there be someone there
To just witness it?
She was strong 
But she's dumb
What's her family become?

Chorus

You know... To see your garden grow
You must let some more skin show
While your still young
Whoa... You picked the wrong one.

There's no dearly beloved 
We are gathered here today... 
So paint the rest of us blue
Cause it's easy for you
But you'll have to carry the weight
Before it's to late 

Shine

Shine

You hide your hands 
From their shaking
What have I done?
If you can't break free 
For what you need
Who will you become?

I am not your
I am not your fault
I am not your...

The one I've come here for
Her Forgiving arms hold on so easily
The beautiful ones are the light of the sun... Like the one who shines on me.

And as She's lighting up my skin
It races to my bones
And every nerve says keep on
I'll take it all in
And I'll keep what I find
Every breath is one more 
Chance to Shine

Stay your whole life if you can
I know the hardest thing to say
Is if you're losing either way
In bed you lay with the strongest line you can find... You're mine!

And as She's lighting up my skin
It races to my bones
And every nerve says keep on
I'll take it all in
And I'll keep what I find
Every breath is one more 
Chance to Shine
Even with love 
All of our lies
Have needed some light


You know who you're saving
By staying
Yeah, I know you do
I know you too

Golden                      

I'm living with a girl who has

A smile that gets the best of me

If you've seen us then you know

She's Laying in the sun beside me

Singing songs that all remind me

Of when our hearts were young

As Spring shows our eyes a new beginning
We finally see with all these new things
We never really grew

She is confident and I'm strange
But we have it all arranged
And we have been the same
And played these games for some time.

She sees clear 
And I draw blanks
But she is lost the same
And we both know the road we pave
Isn't always Golden
But it leads us home

I'm coming home 

She's got Blue Green eyes
And long brown hair
And the way she looks now 
Is the way she looked then
And it buried me
Tonite my dear won't you carry me home. 

Heart Of Ours

Heart of ours

This is the sound 
Of this heart of ours
Everyone hears it
But they can't decide which way to go
To find the love they want.
Go... May the vain take hand me downs
They're crying out!
This is the sound
Of this heart of ours.

You've told me your secret
Now lend me your ears
I wanna tell you mine
I've built these walls around me
And I helped you with yours
Can you help me through mine this time?

If we're safe now...
Safe now...
Will you stay now?
Stay now.

If we stand our ground and face it
No one alive can change it
If we are one.

Chorus
Go... May your faith be patient now.

It feels like we are speeding towards the ground
And we won't brace for impact
As the air in our lungs
Force the words from our tongues
"I wanna live while I'm alive!"
Alive
Alive 
Alive

Counting Sheep

Counting sheep 

I count sheep
Until finally sleeping
I wanna wake up next to you
After all my dreaming
Another 50 story fall
And you caught me

So when you find someone
In your sleepy Little town
Who talks you up 
And brings you around
The goings good
The nights are long
And the search is over
The search is over

Everything I want 
Lays right down here

She makes all the love I let go
Come back and see her

Light from all our windows and doors
It belongs to you

Making it's way down every curve
Until there's nothing left of prove.

So lead and I'll follow
I'll beg and I'll borrow
To keep you holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Just keep me as your own
Even when I leave home
Keep on holding on
Holding on
Holding on
This is how to start it.

When faith was all that could save me
I was bound to lose
If you take away what lyes here beside me
There'd be nothing left to use
Nothing left to lose

You are entitled
But don't count me out 
when my heads in the clouds
You are entitled
Entitled

Water and Wire

Water and Wire

Water meets wire
Fire meets oxygen
The yellow stained walls
Except a thirty year threat
The look on her face
Is relief by the flash
Of her lifes last cigarette

Water meets wire
On the floor of a factory
Where women and men
Are both flesh and blood
Her hands are shaking
And his eyes are what's making them
As her long daily struggle begins 

SOS! You may need it!
I confess 
There's no damsel in distress
Just send it now
Invade she's alone
So you're singing...

Uh oh!

Water and wire
Fire and oxygen
One greets the other just as we do
One shakes the hand
On the others command 
For a spark that ignites 
What we really have planned

It's bad enough we're connected
Just by gravity
So choose your own company
But don't stay here in mine
We are water and wire

Uh oh... Water and wire!

Color

I've got some yellow 
And some orange too
I've been meaning to paint the sun 
And intoduce it to you

When was the last time you've been outside?
The sky can hardly wait
To match the color of your life.

I've never seen blue like yours
It lasts so long
it lasts too long
You know it lasts too long
But there's something about your mess
That turns me on.

Yeah, we're all a little blue
When we're out of green
Too much, too little
To me it's all obscene
When was the last time
You were out of the red?
Must your statement always match
The color flowing in your dress?

I've never seen Red like yours
You seem so strong
You seem so strong but
I know there's something wrong
And there's something about your mess
That turns me on.

I've never seen vane so coarse
It seems so wrong
You seem so strong
But you know there's something wrong
Yeah, there's something about your mess
That turns me on.

Hey, With a shot of sympathy
And a lot of humility
We can shine like anyone
Compared to me...
You've got color.
