Can't Go Back

We stand at the crossroads once again between the future and the past
we see tomorrow gaining fast
we are caught between the dreams that never seem to want to let our hearts go
please release your hold before my fear shows

But you know we will follow you anyhere
even uninvited I don't care
you say that you don't know me but your hands seem to know the way
day after day we're learning that we can't go back

To the left lies the mountain the right beats the desert drums
straight ahead is the setting sun
we travel forwad into places that we've never been
and feel that way that we may never feel again

But you know we will follow you anywhere
even uninvited I don't care
you say that you don't know me but your hands seem to know the way
day after day we're learning that we can't go back

no matter we do
no matter what we say

The way that we were once is the way I always thought that it would be
so much honey i could barely see
don't underestimate how life can change no matter what you do to keep it the same
distraction can fill your brain

But you know we will follow you anywhere
even uninvited I don't care
you say that you don't know me but your hands seem to know the way
day after day we're learning that we can't go back


Tailspin

I can't speak to you like I want to I can't give to you like I should
I put it all down in a letter but tore it up like I knew I would
'cause you don't love me like you used to too many things have been said
you protect your animal while laying awake in your own bed

We are floating in the wind
slow motion tailspin
we are floating
we are floating
we are floating in the wind

I am a poet with no pencil I am a criminal with no crime
nights in a small town still haunt my mind
'cause luxury was an item that we never could afford
subtlety is priceless when there's broken glass on the floor

We are floating in the wind
slow motion tailspin
we are floating
we are floating
we are floating in the wind

If you be my purpose I will be the cause
while running through the night I want to be the reason that you pause
you are by far the hottest flame in the blaze
your gaze makes the sounds of a thousand lovers lost in a maze

We are floating in the wind
slow motion tailspin
we are floating
we are floating
we are floating in the wind


Garden

Into your eyes I see
inside of your heart I know that
that our of your mouth will pour mercy
to help our garden grow

I know your lips taste like candy
and your eyes that pull me in
spring will bring us together
summer will blow us away

In the summer time we're gonna find love
in the summer time we're gonna find love
in the summer time we're gonna find love


Keep on Moving

Dark days may lie ahead but that's ok 'cause I've got you by my side
we can't just co-exist, the way you communincate I can't resist
spread a little joy any way you can, cause there is no time to waste
you go to keep on moving

There never seems to be an end, to the words that remind us that talk is cheap
just listen to the news it proves, that words can only do so much when you're in too deep
so let's catch our breath , not get left behind, not evolving is a crime
you got to keep on moving

Cast away your throwing stones, your words cut to the bone
my weakness is not only mine, we all live in the shadow of time
let's force the issue and step into the night
I hear the Sirens and feel the night
I hear the Siren's and feel the night
I hear the Siren's and feel the night
you got to keep on moving
you got to keep on moving


Times Long Gone

You were tied to me with music
we used to sing out loud
you stole a little piece of me
you stole a little piece of me
and put it the memories up in the stars
I really don't mind so much I just don't know how it got so far
maybe we were tied a little bit too tight
maybe it was the music of your love swimming in the moonlight

Like rain your eyes washed over me
soaked into my skin and stained your bones
the color of your tongue or was it the illusion
that something meaningful had just begun

Now it's just a memory in the stars
I really don't mind so much I just don't know how it got so far
maybe we were tied a little bit too tight
maybe it was the music of your love swimming in the moonlight

Behind you are times long gone
so many nights so many dawns
behind you are times long gone
so many nights so many dawns

The time is now to paint your own sunset
and turn around and charge into the night
with your feelings of the past slowing fading behind

just like a memory up in the stars
I really don't mind so much I just don't know how it got so far
maybe we were tied a little bit too tight
maybe it was the music of your love swimming in the moonlight

Behind you are times long gone
so many nights so many dawns
behind you are times long gone
so many nights so many dawns


Bliss

Bitterness, love pain and bliss hide inside of your kiss
but it's hard to tell for sure if you're the sympton or the cure

The sight, sound, touch and smell put me under your spell
love will come and go like a bittersweet undertow

The love that's never felt can push apart
the card that's never dealt is the Queen of Hearts

All I want is you
All we need is here
All you feel is real
All we need is here

The taste of words not said leaves a ringin in my head
silence can be sweet for sure but it can't compare to your whisper
The card that's never dealt is the Queen of Hearts
The love that's never felt can push apart

All I want is you
All we need is here
All you feel is real
All we need is here

Dig Deeper

Hold on love don't let go dig deeper than you ever have before
'cause this may be last thing you ever say
It's been good
Life is love
Give it away
Excuse me if I seem a little distracted there's just a whole lot going on
It doesn't really matter just what the fact is
the day will soon be gone

Hole on love don't let go
dig deeper than you have ever dug before
'cause this may be the last thing that we ever say
It's been good
Life is Love
Give it away

One true love...
in the garage...Shane

Better For A While

Draggin' a pale of water along the banks of the rising river bed
Try to climb a little higher closer to the clouds get out if you can
and try to keep cool and feel better for a while
drink it down, keep it down and stay down
and feel better for a while, a little while
'cause if the river keeps rising this may be the last time we fly
we're gonna fly to the other side
better for a while

Draggin a pale of water, along the banks of the river running red
Feel like starting fires, buring down the clowns
that did nothing for the poorer man
telling em to keep cool
what would you do? would you stay down?
drink it down and feel better for a while
caue if the river keeps rising this may be thast time we fly

better for a while


Know Something

What would you do if she said hello?
would you tell her to leave you alone?
It's not a a very easy thing to do
walking around trying to fill those big shoes
you must know something hat we don't know

You wear your face like you got it all figured out
demons are telling you to screams and shout
I got a good brothers sleeping I got me a good sister teraching
they must know something that we don't know

rememebr that the stars are bright
think about your favorite sight
it's gonna be alright
it's gona be alright

Give someone something when they don't expect it
noone likes to feel neglected
It's not a very easy thing to do
walking around trying to fill your big shoes
you must know something that we don't know
remember that the starts are bright
everything is gonna be alright
remember that the stars are bright
everything is gonna be alright.


Makers of the Sound

Come inside the fire is good and warm
you'll survive and noone will do you harm
feel right at home 'cause somehow you've been here before

gather everyone around, gather everyone around
try to figure it out, try to figure it out

You're alive don't think about tomorrow
'cause we're really gonna blow it out
'cause there's noone else around
feel right at home cause you can hear the perfect sounds

gather everyone around, gather everyone around
try to figure it out try to figure it out

gather everyone around, gather everyone around
try to figure it out, try to figure it out
gather everyone around, be the makers of the sound
try to figure it out, try to figure it out
