Pain
03:54

We're flying in a new city tonight
It's getting dark outside
And we're arriving just in time
So just turn in your best attire
'Cause they won't matter
When second hands start start to unwind
Throw off the makeup and the costumes
They're way too overused
Just drop your heart on your sleeve
And watch the storm beat it away
I'm letting go I'm out in the open
One by one like stars they're falling down
Moving slow but the flame's still pulling my soul into the water for good
We've fallen in a deep grace tonight
This is our sweet goodbye
But green is still green even on this side
You know that we can't fix our opportunities
Just where we place our keys
I'll run and I'll run until I get that prize
How can a pearl be a pearl if sand doesn't irritate
And how can an eagle be an eagle if change offered no pain

Sorry
02:59
|

|
You know you've got it wrong
And you know you've never ever won this talk
It's flawless in your mind
But broken on the altar
You say that doesn't matter
The part of me that's in you is trying to say sorry
But you say
The part of me that's in you is holding you down
I'm here and I've got you tight
And I've paid the price more than you know
You're putting words in my mind
But my love can never change
It's always the same
I will love you even if you hate me
I've forgiven you before you knew you were wrong
And I will look for you even if you run away
And I will find you
Yes I find you

Your Song
04:43
|
|||
|
Lately I’ve been thinking more than I should about relationships
Specifically you’re the one on my mind all the time
Even now I wish I could sing you this song to show you
I’m not scared and I care about you
I know I’m a little infatuated and it’s a fight I recognize
But honestly part of me wants this to last forever
If I hide these feelings, these dreams that we could be together
Is it wrong to sing along by myself
I’ll keep playing pretend
But I see you through my disguise
And it’s killing me
Now is not the time
To be there by your side
I’m drowning in my mind
But I’ll keep it inside
Summer seems just a corner away and the wind is on my side
But I never did sign my name on the line for this ride
I don’t know where it’s going and no, I don’t know how long
I don’t even know if we’re going in the same direction
If I leave an open hand don’t even think about it, walk away
For my sake and your sake it’s best to play this safe
And don’t believe a single thing that I’ll say to you
‘Cause I don’t even do that, no I don’t even do that
I can’t let you know
This is your song
Oh this is your song
I can’t let you know
This is your song
Oh this is your song

Show Me a Love
03:50
|
|||
|
Stuck, we're stuck in the middle
Every day we're turning more into stone
What I used to love is nothing now
I'm all alone
Luck has got me chasing tails
And I'm sailing down this river
Everything's so relevant
But relative
I'm tired of dying
I'm tired of dying
Can you show me a love
A love that wins me over, over
Can you show me a love
A love that wins me over, over
Hate, I'm a natural cause
But I wanna get this off my skin
I'm a mortal
But I wanna live forever
Shame has robbed my heart
And killed my hopes without a sound
I can't take my condition
Is this the way out
I'm tired of dying
I'm tired of wasting away
I'm tired of dying
Show me what it means to be free
I'm tired of dying
I'm tired of feeling broken
I'm tired of dying
Won't you bring me home
|

Look into My Eyes
03:12
|
|||
|
Time will tell if you ever come home
You’ll be the last to be told
Your fate is bought and your life is sold
And you don’t even know oh where to go
Just put me in the doubts for now
I’ll make a way and I pick you out somehow
Faith hope and love are all I’m asking for
Let go of everything else
You know I’ve shown you how it’s done
Look into my eyes and say you love me
I know that you’re ready to
Look into my eyes and say you trust me
I’m ready to pull you through
Don’t dare to think that I don’t understand
I’ve been the orphan and the innocent thorn
All my riches given to the poor
Love is hard when they don’t even care
But I performed the opening act
It’s up to you to react
I came to live a life you couldn’t live
I came to die a death you should’ve died
This is the love that loves forever
Look into my eyes and say you love me
I know that you’re ready to
Look into my eyes and say you trust me
‘Cause I could never trust you
But I’m ready to pull you through

If Only
02:38
|

|
He's living for lies
So beaten and dry
But he wants to prove
To his parents he's worthy
He's too proud to cry
But he can't find a reason why
He has to live this through
The world just never stops turning
If only we took the time
To realize
Love can reach the hopeless ones
If only we took the time
To realize
Love can heal the broken ones
She's too empty to care
Too tired to stare
So she closes her eyes
And lays back down
And she was just too scared
To ask her husband where
He went out night
And now she'll never find out
So don't lose faith
It's pulled you through so many times
And don't lose hope
Just know the fight is worth the other side
And above all
Don't lose love

Confession
03:30
|
|||
|
Slip me a notice when your confession comes around
Though you say it'll bring you down
Don't you know that's the best place to be
Still you go and parade yourself around
Singing empty contradictions aloud
Don't you know that's the worst place to be
Holding your breath won't make us notice
Sooner or later
Your empty lungs will be forced open
Better late than never
Is your mask so overused
That you can't take it off anymore
Is your pride so abused
That you can't let it go anymore
How long will you put yourself up against the wall
There's no pride without a fall
It won't be long before the river takes you there
I know I sound like an ordinary critic
But just know it's in the name of love
I wanna show you the hand that'll take you there
Don't call yourself a liar
Just to prove to the world you're not lying
'Cause you're walking in a different kind of water
So just settle down and breathe
|

I thought that I was done for good
Writing songs about you
But here I am
And here’s a song dying
For a single chance to see you
And I don’t know who to blame
‘Cause this time around
I never told a soul about this
I told myself I was moving on
I told myself you were moving on
I told myself the best for us was elsewhere
I left my heart in California
Oh to think that was the last thing I thought I’d do
As if I could choose
To leave my heart in California
Everything that I had learned pushed me away from you
But I promise you I tried
It’s better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
I had tightened my grip
On these words so blindly
But I’ve come to think that purity
Trumps love thrown away
But with one exception
That the love once lost is found
I’m so lost for words and lost for actions
If love is a movement
The world has never seen a worst lover
There I go again and claim that I’m in love
It’s just I lost my heart
And I last saw it without you
And if we meet again
At the corner of hope and reality
I’m afraid to find out
That your heart is with me

We Rot This Gold
04:19
|
|||
|
Don't you know they've got you up against the wall
And don't you know how uneasy it makes me feel
To see their hands all over you and never noticing
That what you've done for me is perfectly real
Sometimes I wanna prove you to the world
And sometimes it's just proof for myself
I hate to be the skeptic but my setting defines me
And everyone's too certain to give in but uncertain to yell
Sometimes time can't even tell
'Cause time might not show up
But I don't wanna sell you
Whoa we're the evidence
Whoa we're the residence
And we're breathing our lungs out
We're breathing our lungs
Whoa we're the evidence
Whoa we're the residence
And we're breathing our lungs out
But we're barely breathing out loud
It kills me to think that I thought I knew it all
It kills me more to know I kept it inside
To never check check off the fire
To see the beaten and just walk the other side
We rot this gold away untouched
And all the while we refuse to clothe ourselves
I hate to be the skeptic but my setting defines me
And everyone's too certain to give in but uncertain to yell
I can't help but point the finger
Though every single one points at me
As we blame each other for living this same old routine
Whatever happened to living like a radical
To showing the world the change of the redeemed
We've run across this world and flipped it upside down for change
But we're the change and we can't figure it out
Figure it out that this is temporary
This is a broken-down cemetery
So let go, let go, let go
The world is slowly counting down on us
But slowly counting on us if we just try
If we had half a heart we would let them know
Redemption is so close
And there is hope among us, burning strong but
Words are words unless we move
Unless we move they'll stay too soft to hear
Whoa we're the evidence
Whoa we're the residence

I Found a Place
04:42
|
|||
|
I'm about out of words to say
I've used them all up trying to explain
These feelings that tear us apart
These feelings that tear us apart
I know I don't understand
How or why you stand the way you stand
Just tell me if it's worth your heart
Just tell me if it's worth your heart
Can't you see we're all on the same team
With lost, broken, half-hearted dreams
Numbing the pain with the passion to sing
Anything
Oh anything
But I found a place where we can rest
I found a place where there's no more need to prove who's the best
I found a place where everyone wins
I found a place that lets us in
Listen to the wind against your face
Look up at the stars that remind us of our place
Our sweat and our blood won't change a thing
Our sweat and our blood won't change a thing
Just think of the mess we made of our lives
We spread the curse every time that we try
But beauty and love can be redeemed
Beauty and love can be redeemed
I'm begging you to walk this with me
Leave all you have for this journey
This is the cost of being free
This is the cost of being free

For Now
04:03
|

|
I
I need some time to sort this out
I need some time to drown this all out
And I
I can't thank you enough
But I can't find any words good enough
I picked you off my dusty shelf
Brushed you off and you can tell
I didn't know how to read you
So maybe it's time
To just shake hands if we're feeling brave
No need to recall our smiles 'cause we never stayed out late
Just seize who we are and the upcoming days
And we'll stay out of sight for now
I
I always knew you had the guts
But I never knew I did 'til you turned around
And I
Made up my mind not to regret
It's a lot easier when you show me how
So I'm putting you back on that dusty shelf
Well intact and you can tell
I never did learn to read you
And maybe it's time
No it won't be this time
These are our nights
These are our moments to fly
So don't look down or you'll lose control
Don't look back or you'll lose your chance

Why (feat. Daniel Lee)
04:38
|
|||
|
Look left, another man is clinging on to life
As he's at war with fellow man
Seems everyone is caught up in their worlds
Look right, there's a family broken down inside
Barely clinging on to life
But it doesn't stop us from getting what we want
Look up at the sky
And we, we wonder why
Why can't we get along
Why do we fight
Washing away everything
That could've been right
Are we living for anything
Other than the things we lose
Other than these half-hearted dreams
Maybe if we search deep within
We could find peaceful ways
To deal with what we've made
It seems so foreign
Is it worth a try
If our heart's willing
We know we'll reach the sky

Hero
04:49
|
|||
|
When I traded my heart for yours
I thought I got the better half in the trade
And we had no one to blame
Little did I remember
The thoughts forgotten simply wash away
And blood can flow like the passion of a train
I'm sorry for waking you up so early
Your heart was as young and as pure as mine
I'm sorry for keeping you in this journey
I can't lead you 'cross these lines when I'm blind
There's no use keeping a balance when the lines are not defined
It's no better setting rules when all the lines shift like my eyes
I wasn't ready to make sense of it
But I put my two cents in it
It was all I had and all you got
And I know it wasn't good enough
But then again I'll never be good enough
'Cause I'm just a kid
I'm not a hero
It isn't me who calls and melts
The snow and coaxes us into the light
I'm just a man of words that I recite
Don't you see I preached the surface
Through cliches, afraid I wouldn't be right
I'm not your savior, I'm too dirty to wash you white
I didn't mean to lead you along
I had no intention
Maybe that was the dangerous flaw
I had no intention
I let my emotions win me over
I surrendered
You gave me your heart
But I let it dry

The Only Way
04:21
|
|||
|
You know I get so hard sometimes
And time and time I prove I'm right
But what's the use explaining to you
You know these thoughts, these guts of mine
The ins and outs and every time
I have them, I'm just running from you
You've let me know a thousand times
You're so much better than these things I hide
So help me let go
So help me let go
Convict me of these desperate trades
Let me know I'll never change my way
Strip me down 'til all I have is grace
Let me know that you're the only way
You know a taste is all I need
To keep me striving on my knees
But then again I've made that promise before
You know this fight is a part of me
And every day you're changing me
And I await the day I'm perfectly free
I need you to be my only one
No one comes close to your beauty
And if everything else just comes undone
It's you I'll hold onto so dearly
|

I Miss You
02:02
|
|||
|
Can you hurry up and grow up
So I can talk to you about some bigger things
But be sure to slow down when it matters most
Just do this favor for me
Don’t rush through life or you’ll miss what you want
So take your time on your origami
Come often enough to the place that we met
Never forget these memories
Oh how I miss you
I hope I can see you someday
Oh how I miss you
I’ll be praying for you every day
I wish that you could see beyond yourself
So you could see beyond me
I wish that you could prove it to the world
Even red lights can be set free
Don’t let them tell you that love isn’t real
‘Cause it’s definitely real to me
And I wish that you may find this love
So it’ll be the only thing you could talk about when we meet
|

Steady Hands
03:45
|
|||
|
Every time you rock my words in your mind
I'm talking to you
I'm leaving you clues on every alley every street
All your life I've watched you drink in these lies
That you don't want me
Don't you know I'm the only one you need
So give me your heart of stone and I'll bring it back to life
Steady hands don't shake so hard tonight
You know you're not alone
And I've never left your side
Steady hands don't shake so hard tonight
If you lose your way
I'll lead you home every time
Every joy every good memory you had
Was a love note from me
My whispers formed the life in your dreams
Don't tell me that I'm wrong 'cause I know you
Better than you do
And I love you more than you can care to see
Every second that you wait
The need becomes riper
To throw the past away
If you can't fix it it's okay
Just hand the mess over
That's the meaning of grace
|

Impossible
04:45

I’ll fall asleep for the last time
I’m lost at sea and I don’t know why
I’m trying so hard to die
When finally I find I get by
The part of me that is keeping me dry
I realize I’m just living another lie
Something always tells me that I’m on my own
And I don’t know what I’m gunning for
No I don’t know what I’m gunning for
But maybe it’s just that I can’t find a home
And I don’t know what I’m gunning for
No I don’t know what I’m gunning for
I’m just waiting for someone to love me
It feels so out of this world
But it doesn’t feel impossible
I can’t sleep ‘til I tear apart this mystery
That feels so out of this world
But it doesn’t feel impossible
They say that love is just emotion
Can I just listen up or slow down enough
To try and make sense of this nonsense
Are my desires just worthless
Or can I point to something more
Something that defines who I am
I don’t wanna just see a miracle
I wanna be a part of it
I don’t wanna just see a miracle
I wanna be
I don’t wanna just see a miracle
I wanna be a part of it
I don’t wanna just see a miracle

Love
05:14
|
|||
|
He says that love is a prison
It's leaving independence
For the sake of nothing better
She says that love is a balance
Gotta weigh your investments
Gotta take out at least what you put in
He says that love is a casino
All you've got is a thousand cameras
And the luck of the draw
She says that love is origami
It's nothing 'til you start
And it's anything you want it to be
Everybody everybody's talking 'bout love
It's so so overused it's lost its worth
When did it become a burden to love
Is the greatest pleasure not enough
Maybe we haven't got a chance to see
The beauty of it all
When did it become a burden to love
To see fear on the run
Maybe we're just starting to see
The beauty of it all
He says that love is rockslide
It's too dangerous
Play the game but stay away when it shakes
She says that love is a summer rose
It looks good in the pictures
But hurts in your hand
Don't dare to claim you know it all
When all you know are the ones that left you bleeding
In the name of love
Don't dare to claim you're giving up
Don't tie the victim with the liars
It's tossed around like a man unhired
But all it takes is a desperate beggar
Willing to taste, to feel the thunder
It's not about the faith but the person under
It's worth the wait 'cause it's here

Nothing to Lose
04:44
|
|||
|
I promise, I promise
I’ll read your letters today
I’ve said it a thousand times
And a thousand more I’ve yet to say
Your love is a hurricane
And I’m a lover in a dream
This boat ride can last forever
It’s such a soothing place to be
And I, I just can’t understand your love
And who you say you are
Maybe I, I don’t see enough
Can you show me who you really are
Can you censor my eyes from my biased mind
Can you give me a way to see you
Can I wrestle an angel and walk in the furnace
Can you give me a way to see you
Help me to see how badly I need you
I can’t survive without you
With life and death hanging on a thread I’ve got nothing
I’ve got nothing to lose
The music’s soft, the window’s down
I feel the wind on my face
I don’t know where it’s coming from
But it’s never tired enough to fade
I feel the wind on my heart
It’s like I’m born again
Slowly but strongly I’m seeing you
You’re oh so addicting
I’ve been searching for you
I didn’t notice
Searching for you
But, but, but I could never find you
No, I could never reach you
But you’ve been searching for me
I didn’t notice
Searching for me
And you already found me
Can you let me know
Can you let me know

Overwhelming
03:34
|

|
I've been sitting on the fence but this fence is shaking
I don't know if this is a choice I'm making
But I'm falling into fear
I'm falling fast
Like rain we fall one way or the other
And to feed these hearts we find our lovers
Desperately singing
“This is right”
But am I talking my heart or am I talking my pride
Why can't I ever get over the fact that I
Keep looking back, keep wishing
We could start this all over
This seems to be the only way out of this place
So come and take me home
There's no other way to go
It's overwhelming my heart
It's overwhelming my soul
It's taking over everything I am
It's overwhelming my heart
It's overwhelming my soul
It's taking over, taking over me
You got millions of missing pictures up
Every one like a dart just guilts me up
And I can't find or fight my way out
No
I say I need some time and brush it off
But time is money and I can't afford it all
I gotta face it
I'm broke and dying
You're the only pocket of truth I've got
So here's my heart in a soaked and twisted knot
Oh for the first time I feel a heartbeat
I'm raising my cup
Just fill me up
Over and over and I'll be
Lost again in your love

All I Really Wanted
03:51
|
|||
|
Sometimes I get carried away by the hope I've yet to lose
And then this passion creates something totally new
I get set on fire but I realize that it's all me and not you
I am a wanderer taking all the credit all of the time
I thought I knew you but I never did
I had taken you like a drug for a personal fix
I didn't understand why we were drifting farther apart
But maybe, maybe we never had it
I thought you said forever
That was my kryptonite
Here I am again putting words in your mouth
I thought you said forever
That was my kryptonite
Here I am again putting words in your mouth
I once thought I could use you as a means to an end
But you were so much better than that and you had better plans
I had asked you to save me from this world and injustice and hunger and pain
But now I ask you to save me from my self-absorption, my plans, and my dreams
All I really wanted
Was somebody to love
And somebody to love me back
All I really wanted
Was somebody to love
And somebody to love me back
All I really wanted
Was somebody to love
And somebody to love me back
All I really wanted
Was somebody to love
And somebody to love me back
And that somebody is you
That somebody is you

Desire
04:06
|

|
I'm falling in and out of love
In this game that never ends
I thought immunity wasn't an issue
But my heart always cuts me loose
I'm falling in and out of love
Like a boomerang I'm back again
I used to think that I just had to run far enough
But somehow my dreams just never give up
And I swear I'll fall asleep for the last time
It's not the first time I said those words
I'm scared of hanging my heart on the line
'Cause I can choose what I do but I can't choose what I want
Where do I go
Where can I go
I have desire on a leash
But it's moving so quickly
Where do I go
Where can I go
Everything I know seems useless to me
But this is where I really want to be
It's not that I just wanna give up
Consistency and safety
It's that something inside wants more
A love I've never had before
And it just might swallow me up
And cost me everything
But reason doesn't stand a chance
'Cause all of this is out of my hands
Somehow
Somehow you touch me
Feel it right now
Right now you have me
And though I can't get out
I'm coming to see
That a heart that never loves isn't a heart at all
Where do I go
Where can I go
I have desire on a leash
But it's moving so quickly
Where do I go
Where can I go
Everything I know seems useless to me
But this is where I really want
Oh this is who I really want to be

Miracle
04:51
|

|
He's so lost and so unaware
Of how much you love him
What did you do to dry his heart
You know he used to point me back at you
I wish that I could do the same for him
That I could tear his contentment apart
I know I'm asking for a miracle
But I know you're a God of miracles
Can you break through the dark
And blind him with light
And bring his heart of stone to life
Can you forgive him
He doesn't know what he's doing
Can you save him
He's too far from home to need
He talks loud and says he's bought the right
Suffering was the currency
He draws the lines and brings the charge
He denies your love and denounces your bride
The body has no symmetry
So can you show him how you won this war
It's undeniable that you love him
But it's undeniable that he doesn't care
And if you let him know
He'll love you back
Can you forgive him
He doesn't know what he's doing
Can you save him
He's too far from home to see

War
03:08
|

|
Today is the day but I’m afraid
Just keep your head up, they say and pray
Just fight for what you’re worth when they cry and fall
Don’t ever look back, the fight is worth it all
But they’re crying and crying for an end to their pain
The rest are just dying away
They’re lying, denying us facts for our lives
Empty eyes stare into the sky
I killed a man today ‘cause he was too afraid
To do the same for me
He died for his land and I’m the one to blame
So open your eyes
Our sins are cheered on by speeches and lies
He lived so I killed and I killed to live
The guilty stay alive
Whoever claimed war was glorious
And prided their pride above their lives
Sent millions on this empty chase
Running empty and dry
Listen to their hearts

I Wanna Love You
04:38
|

|
You've got the whole wide world to yourself
And all I've got is me
To be honest I confess that's a little intimidating
Oh how the colors in the clouds, the rain
They try to paint your portrait
And how they fail so miserably
I'm sure you know I'll never understand it all
So remind me again how you came in
You broke me down and now
You're raising me from the dead
I wanna know you in a way I'll never know
I wanna love you
I wanna see you in a way I'll never see
I wanna love you
You made the whole wide world for yourself
And all that was wrong was me
To be honest I confess that's a little intimidating
Oh how you split the sky and found me
Chasing my tail over and over
You scatter the ashes from my head and you take me in
How could I refuse to overflow
When my heart only holds so much
How can I stop singing your praise
When you walked through the darkest of nights
And you found me
You found me
You found me
You found me

Clementine
You're my moonshine
Reaching for the divine in the sky
Clementine
You're my diamond mine
You shine so bright you make me blind
When you sit under the tree
And I'm sitting under another tree
I wanna cut down your tree
So you can sit under my tree with me
You're sweeter than mangoes
Cuter than pandas in a biology magazine
You're stronger than gravity
Pulling my heart strings
But that's ridiculous
What the heck are heart strings
What the heck are heart strings
Clementine
Give me a second try
And maybe a side of French fries
Clementine
I used to think I could fly
Now thanks to you all I can do is cry
I cry Clementine
Oh Clementine
Where are thou Clementine
My dearest Clementine
Who will pour my cereal for me now
I can't even find my bowl
I think I dropped it in a pothole
I vaguely remember that I was on my way to school
How could I be so cold
To sell you to the Sewer Man of Old
The Sewer Man of Old
Clementine
You're my moonshine
Reaching for the divine
Goodbye

Lenny the Penny
Why do you run, why do you run
So quickly
Remember when I found you on the street
Brushed you off and gave you food to eat
Your eyes looked so grateful
And I felt so complete
Remember thinking that our love could have no bounds
We would prove it to everybody around
Your eyes looked so beautiful
And when they talked behind our backs I couldn’t hear a sound
I wish I knew it from the start
Maybe I wouldn’t have fallen apart
But I couldn’t see that far
Lenny the Penny
Why do you run, why do you run
So quickly
Lenny the Penny
Why do you run, why do you run
Away from me
I still remember that day as clear as the sky
Saw the smile on your face when he called to say hi
Your eyes looked so playful
When you told me all about his life
I could only stare and smile on
Pretending I was on your side in the battle you won
Your eyes looked so hopeful
And holding you back just seemed so very wrong
Jealousy
Is haunting me
I won’t let it get to me
So get away from me
I wish I knew it from the start
Maybe I wouldn’t have fallen apart
I gave you my heart
So this is my reward
Lenny the Penny
Go off and run, go off and run
It won’t make a difference to me
Lenny the Penny
I don’t care if you run, I don’t care if you run
Just run away from me
Lenny the Penny
Why do you run, why do you run
Please come back to me

I saw you today
Playing in the puddle of tears you made yesterday
Hoping that it’ll all go away
They point and laugh at you
And you stare straight down and shuffle your shoes
Your face turns red but what have you got to lose
It’s another normal day
And as you walk back home
You touch all the cracks on the sidewalk to feel their hurtin’
You’re the only one who can share the burden
It’s another normal day
You’ve given up on trying
But don’t give up on crying
When your world just strips away all you are
Know I will never leave you
When everything is wrong and all you love is gone
Know I will never leave you
I saw you today
Putting picture frames on wishes from yesterday
Hoping you’ll find them someday
You sit in your room
Trying not to listen to the voices downstairs
Yelling at each other and you don’t want to care
It's another normal day
Take a look at your heart
I know you know you’re denying what’s going on
But don’t you know you don’t have to keep holding on
It doesn’t have to be this way
I know you feel
So empty
So empty inside
You feel so ready
So ready to play the dice
'Cause all you ever wanted
Was a friend you could rely on
And all I was doing
Was waiting to be called on
Waiting to be called on
I saw you today
Playing in the puddle of tears you made yesterday
Hoping that it’ll all go away
It doesn't have to be this way
It doesn't have to be this way
There's got to be another way

My eyes hide the windows
Where mysteries begin to close
Over the eagles in lost dreams
That this invisible war brings
Beyond the galaxies of sounds
Dies hatred without bounds
Among the scoffers suffocating
Without reason for invading
O this room of greater pleas
Send your music over the seas
To fight, to feel, to fall
When castles seem so small
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes, sometimes
The clock is running out
Additional pylons lay their hands on
Empty hands that search me out
Oceans pierce their wings tonight
When all is won everything is gone
If only stars could burn this bright
We could take this fight
We could see the light
We could win this fight
If we could see the light

It all started in 384 BC
With Aristotle’s theory
He said the earth was the center of the universe
Talked about the “great chain of being”
And the world is just what you’re seeing
It was plain common sense
And Catholics didn’t make amends
Well the guys really liked him
In fact they adored him
It certainly was a revolution
But there was so much more he didn’t know
So much more just waiting to be known
‘Cause it’s a big world out there
And people want to know why life isn’t fair
Then along came Copernicus
And he really made a fuss
‘Cause he had a hunch
That in the center was the sun
Well the guys didn’t like him
In fact they hated him
It certainly was a revolution
‘Cause his ideas went one way
The Church went the other way
Way back in the dayyay
But there was so much more he didn’t know
So much more just waiting to be known
‘Cause it’s a big world out there
And people want to know why life isn’t fair
Then came Kepler
Said the orbits weren’t circular
He made three laws of motion
And made quite a contribution
There was Galileo
He was my homie g yo
Bought a couple telescopes
Saw Saturn’s shiny rings you know
And don’t forget the other peeps
Who put in their 2 cents
Brahe, Bacon, Newton and friends
After Copernicus’ rejection
These guys stepped up to the plate
After Copernicus’ revelation
The rest of the world could relate
But there's still
So much more that we don’t know
So much more just waiting to be known
‘Cause it’s a big world out there
And people want to know why life isn’t fair
