Intro 00:58
2.
Oh, I know these feelings well Cool autumn breeze through summer's vacant shell Reflected on a bench for two Through crimson leaves I'm pressed to find a better view Cause I could be all you never wanted Or the one you feel you left behind Would you say you miss me through the hopeless days When I'm not so sure of anything Graffiti kids, the old brand new The painted flesh below Smith Avenue Their stories set in faded stone Across the bridge a million eyes will never know That I could be all you never wanted Or the one you feel you left behind Would you say you miss me through the hopeless days When I'm not so sure of anything
3.
Where you gonna go With your head so low hanging off your bones When just the other day I saw you burn so bright had to look the other way Now don't you go losing all control It's just the start I hate to hear you say That we could be so better off in Seattle or LA A perfect place in time Where the only time we know is what we've got It's here and then it's not the same again We used to be friends Whatever happened to the way we were before Are we gonna leave it here or work it out once more But no, I didn't know you half as well as I had thought You disappeared and made no attempt to call it off The day I learned you died, it struck me as unfair You'd never make it to be twenty-two

January 04:04
Mad a maze of my hometown Familiar sites are strangers now Out of place and shifting shape Could never stop me from getting in my way Breathing in a brand new life I never meant to settle in this skin Under January skies you'll be my long forgotten friend Packed my life into a car And stole away across the yard Through monuments, a history Of teenage breakdowns and newfound melodies Breathing in a brand new life I never meant to settle in this skin Under January skies you'll be my long forgotten friend Easy now the helpless nights will only lead you oh so far astray Better find a place to hide when all the strange emotions fade
5.
Falling 04:34
There's dark on this town The wind's picking up The blueberry clouds hanging over Our house on the hill You're staring at me Praying for something to go wrong Yet we've barely begun living at all Is there such a thing as falling out of love In the dead of the night She's slipping away Over cracks in the stairs Out the doorway As we race down the street I don't know what I'll say And the blood from our feet Paints the bus stop We can't go back and begin again Years become what we've made of them It just wouldn't be the same
6.
Golden Days 03:12
I'm wide awake now it's morning, the sun's in your eyes Bet you could conquer the state But you couldn't care about winning when you're so in love I hope it's always enough It's not that we're too young We're just not old enough To lose our heads when it snows through the summer Don't need no-one to say, these are your golden days So we can hold them before they're over Walking on railroads, the old tracks were covered in snow We raised our hands to the sky I'll race you home to the records we'll play through the night Have you ever felt so alive Oh, no we don't We don't see what's always there I don't know how we don't We can't see what's always there
7.
Storm Song 03:36
Storming out and stirring inside Clouded sun like covered past lives And we never show how they've unfolded Sudden darkness, subtle surprise Falling stones and fading starlight And we can't control when it takes a hold of us Through the freezing cold you always glow You know that you're the best I've ever known It doesn't matter where you've been Or where we're going, never knowing Where we'll find ourselves Call it out as craving bad times And saving sorrow for the great nights Now we see right through We can't let this pattern resume
8.
Twisting shapes in outer space seem farther than they are See them landing on a naked hilltop by the barn Will they know everything I don't Stranded in between the stars You need a place to land On the run from enemies who couldn't understand So we march off hand in hand with our new one-eyed friends We'll take them to our secret hideout where the river bends Off we go, into the unknown Stranded in between the stars You need a place to land On the run from enemies who couldn't understand That you may not look the same as our human race But if you're the ones so far from home then it's true That we're alien to you As the beams of morning sun erase the endless night They said, "We must move on but we will meet again in time" See them go, through the telescope
9.
Into the old, into nothing more than this We take our hearts, take our breath Through fire and smoke, canyons cold with morning mist We face the sky and send our wish Spinning, glowing, bright, with the rising sun Changing, slowly, all folding into one Into the old, into all we've left behind We burrow deep til we find Some hidden chest, something kept out of our sight A strand of hope, a source of light Spinning, glowing, bright, with the rising sun Changing, slowly, all folding into one Colors, fading, fall into clouds of white We are brand new, formed on the other side Into the old, into history, into myth Where all our stories begin Where we decide which to keep or cast aside Form in our hands a brand new life
