Sleeper Must Awaken

SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN NOW
WHILE THE TOWN DREAMS
AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND
WITH A HEARTBEAT
IS ANYBODY ELSE ALIVE
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO TRIES
TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS
I'M TAKING BACK
MY RIGHT TO FEEL THE RUSH OF SOMETHING REAL
EXPOSE THE PARTS OF ME THAT HAVE BEEN TRAPPED
UNDERNEATH A DAMN THAT'S BREAKING
I CAN'T LIVE A LIFE THAT I AM FAKIN'
THIS SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN
I CIRCLE LIKE A SATELLITE
I'M JUST LOOKING IN
EARTH IS LIKE ANOTHER MOON
I'M AN ALIEN
I WILL NEVER FEEL ALIVE
IF I CAVE AND COMPROMISE
I KNOW WHAT I MUST DO

Hanging By a Thread

I FEEL LIKE A FAST TRAIN
ONLY GOING ONE WAY
AND WITH ALL THE BAGGAGE
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN BRAKE
I WANNA GO BACK
TO THE STATION
WHERE I LEFT YOU
WITHOUT SAYING…
I'VE BEEN HANGING THREAD
DON'T WANNA LIVE WITH THE REGRET
KNOWING THAT THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAID
IS ON REPEAT IN MY HEAD
AND THE FUTURE WE HAD PLANNED
DON'T LEAVE ME HERE, I'M RUNNING OUT OF BREATH
HANGING BY A THREAD
EVERY TIME THE TRAIN STOPS
I AM TEMPTED TO JUMP OFF
I MAY HAVE BURNED THE BRIDGE DOWN
BUT I CAN STILL SWIM ACROSS
AND I'LL RUN BACK
TO THE STATION
WHERE I LEFT YOU
WITHOUT SAYING

Gone When You Got Here

DISTANCE GREW BETWEEN US
WHEN I MOVED TO TENNESSEE
I BOUGHT YOU A FIRST-CLASS TICKET
'CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO SEE ME
OH, I DON'T KNOW YOU
OH, I AM SO CONFUSED
ALL THE SILENCE IN BETWEEN THE EMPTY TALK
YOU PUT YOURSELF TOGETHER WITHOUT A THOUGHT
LEFT ME FOR LOST, YOU MADE IT CLEAR
YOU WERE ALREADY GONE WHEN YOU GOT HERE
I MADE PLANS FOR US TO STAY
AT THE DOWNTOWN HOTEL
BUT YOU ACTED LIKE A CASTAWAY
ON AN ISLAND TO YOURSELF
YOU USED TO LOOK ME IN THE EYES WHEN I WAS WAKING
YOU USED TO TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR DAY
I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO CHANGE OUR SITUATION
I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO HOLD YOU THE SAME WAY

ONE DAY WE HAD NOTHING TO SAY
TWO STRANGERS, FACE TO FACE
SAME YEAR, YOU DON'T CALL ME DEAR
YOU DON'T SEEM TO HEAR
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE NEAR ME
YOU TURN YOUR SHOULDER AND I FEEL COLDER
TURN AWAY WHEN I NEED YOU CLOSER
WE USED TO DANCE, I NEVER HAD TO YEARN
IT WAS ALWAYS MY TURN
IT WAS ALWAYS MY TURN
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL
MY WAITRESS, AT MY TABLE
WHERE WE MET
WHERE WE KISSED
WHEN WE LAUGHED SO LONG AGO
TURN
WALK BESIDE ME
TURN
AND YOU'LL FIND ME
JUST DON'T TURN YOUR SHOULDER AND MAKE US COLDER
DON'T TURN AWAY 'CAUSE I NEED YOU CLOSER
WE'LL ALWAYS DANCE, OUR LOVE WILL ALWAYS BURN
I WON'T HAVE TO WAIT MY TURN

The Middle

DALLAS IS A LONG WAY FROM KANSAS
CLOSER STILL THAN SEATTLE
EVERY ROAD SEEMS LONGER IN NEBRASKA
WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK HER
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE NOW
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE NOW
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE NOW
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE NOW
WE USED TO SWEAR WE'D ALWAYS BE TOGETHER
FOR THE WORSE OR THE BETTER
NO WE DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
AND IT'S BEEN RAINING FOREVER
I'D RATHER TAKE YOU UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN
I'D RATHER HOLD YOU CLOSE OR BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND
OH, JUST STUCK IN THE MIDDLE NOW
MAYBE WE'RE NOT MEANT FOR THE MOUNTAINS
OR THE DEEPEST OCEAN

When You Were My Girl

SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART
THERE'S A DUSTY FRAME
PICTURE OF YOUNG GIRL
BEFORE SHE SLIPPED AWAY
WE WOULD WALK TO SCHOOL
HOLD EACH OTHER'S HANDS
ALWAYS PROMISED WE WOULD
MARRY AND BE BEST FRIENDS
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OUR FANTASY
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO STILL BELIEVES
WE HAD A PLAN, WE HAD THE PROOF
OUR LOVE WAS INNOCENT AND TRUE
YOU TOLD ME I WAS YOUR WHOLE WORLD
WHEN YOU WERE MY GIRL
DRIVING YOUR DAD'S FORD
YOU WOULD ALWAYS STALL
CARS WOULD HONK
I'D BE ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING SO HARD
SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART
PRECIOUS LIKE A PEARL
ENDLESSLY THERE LIVES A DREAM OF
WHEN YOU WERE MY GIRL

I AIN'T AFRAID OF FIRE, I AIN'T AFRAID OF SMOKE
I AIN'T AFRAID DYING , I AIN'T AFRAID TO CHOKE
I AIN'T AFRAID TO LOVE YOUTHROUGHOUT ETERNITY
I ONLY AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY YOU'LL STOP LOVING ME
I'VE BEEN TO CALIFORNIA, I'VE BEEN UPSTATE NEW YORK
I'VE BEEN ACROSS THE BORDERS, I'VE GONE TO SEE THE POPE
I'VE BEEN ON TOP OF MOUNTAINS AND WAY BENEATH THE STARS
BUT I'VE YET TO SEE THE DEEPEST PLACES OF YOUR HEART
I'VE NEVER WISHED FOR SILVER, I'VE NEVER WISHED FOR GOLD
I'VE NEVER WISHED FOR ANYTHING THAT CAN BE BOUGHT OR SOLD
I'VE NEVER WISHED FOR TALENT THAT'D MAKE ME SOMEBODY
I'VE ONLY WISHED THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN LOVE WITH ME

BIG GUY WALKS IN LATE, SITS DOWN BY ME
BACK OF THE CLASSROOM, JAMMED IN TINY SEATS
HIS ELBOW RESTS ON THE EDGE OF MY DESK
THERE'S ONE FRECKLE THAT'S BIGGER THAN THE REST
HAVE YOU HEARD THE WARNING
GLOBAL WARMING
BIG GUY TAKES OUT A WAD AND STARTS CHEWING SNOOSE
SPITS IN AN EMPTY BOTTLE OF MOUNTAIN DEW
THEN HOCKS A LOOGIE AND SPITS IT IN THERE, TOO
WITH THE CAP BACK ON IT FILLS WITH RESIDUE
BIG GUY STARTS CHATTING WAY TOO LOUD
STRONG ENOUGH TO DROWN THE PROFESSOR OUT
FRONT OF THE CLASS TO THE BACK SHE HAS TO SHOUT
BUT HE DON'T HEAR OR CARE OR EVEN POUT

TENNESSEE SKY IN THE EVENING
YOU AND I WALKED DOWN THE TRACKS
I HELD YOUR HAND, NOTHIN WAS BETWEEN US
WE BOTH PROMISED TO NEVER LOOK BACK
NOW I'M TRYING SO HARD BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING
WHAT IF I WAS WRONG AND THIS SHIP IS SET FOR SINKING
BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT, YOUR GREEN EYES LOOKING INTO MINE
UNDER A TENNESSEE SKY
LATE JULY JUST BEFORE SUNRISE
YOU AND I WAKE UP ALONE
WE HAD A FIGHT, THE WORST IN A LONG WHILE
WE USED WORDS LIKE STICKS AND STONES
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, HOW MUCH CAN THE HEART TAKE
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, HOW LONG TILL THE HEART BREAKS
OH, OH, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW

Another Earth

IN THE GARDEN ADAM AND EVE
TOOK THE FRUIT FROM THE TREE
GOD SAID WHY ARE YOU HIDING
ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME
WHAT IF THERE WAS ANOTHER EARTH
WHAT IF WE HAD A DIFFERENT BIRTH
DOES DISCOVERY EXIST WITHOUT THE SEARCH
WHAT IF THERE WAS ANOTHER EARTH
THE REVOLUTION STARTED WITH
A DECLARATION FROM THE LIPS
OF THE WRITERS WITH A WISH
FREEDOM WOULD BE WORTH THE RISK
I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE BORN
YOUR MOTHER’S BLOOD WAS ON THE FLOOR
I ADMIT I FELT SOME SCORN
THEN I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS
