Turn Your Life Around

So long sweet dream
You're a kite caught in the tree
You could climb forever
When you reach the top
All that you were looking for
is all that you forgot
Goodbye Eileen
I've been trying to find thee
Waiting for the silence
Now you've reached the day
Find that you are asking
Why did she ever go away?
Turn your life around
Crawl out from the ground
Stay clear blue sky
Please keep me dry
You can find some shelter
You can build a home
You can do so many things
The rain that can't keep you alone
Turn your life around
Crawl out from the ground
I believe you can leave anytime
You're stalling
You're no longer falling

World of Sound

There's a whole world of sound in my guitar
But I don't think I know how to get it far
It's a trapped deer, set it free
Gotta find the key, gotta find the key musically
On my 7th anniversary
my grandmother bought something special for me
Piano lessons
But I confess
Wasn't able to read the sheets
I was made a fool complete
My fingers were too clumsy
Couldn't rest on those sharp keys
My guitar is a whole world of sound
I can strum and let my feelings out
Every time that I think my days are through
I just make up some chords and hum a tune
If I knew then what I know now
All these emotions that eat at me
Would disappear through melody because
My guitar is a whole world of sound
I can strum and let my feelings out
All those rainy days were blessings in disguise
Thought that you were drowning but
The water helped you rise
And as you grow, the seeds you sow
A brand new world awakening inside

Took My Breath Away

Took my breath away…
Took my breath away…
Nobody knows why they were born
Nobody except for me
It’s human to try to hypothesize
But the angels shot a vision to my brain
Took my breath away
(Above any city)
Took my breath away
(The stars look so pretty)
Can’t find the words to say
(There were colors
that we weren’t meant to see)
Took my breath away
(I do believe)
This revelation won’t be streamed
Believer, they come in peace
In all your dreams
And all you have seen
There is nothing to prepare you for this day
Took my breath
On judgment day
It’s too late to pray
All our leaders will be turned to dust
And our saviors won’t be saving us
Sinners and the saints the same
When we fly
There’s no need to fear the word goodbye
…
(Above any city)
Took my breath away
(The stars look so pretty)
Can’t find the words to say
(We’ll be one soon
Together forever)
Took my breath away
(I do believe…)

Your Big Brother
03:56

Been waiting for the right time
To finally say
I know it's been a long time
But I will stay
This ain't a joke
This ain't a joke
Our family broke
Why are you lauhging
[chorus]
I know you wish you could trade in your big brother
For someone who could have held you when you cried
I hate to say there's never gonna be another
We'll be together for life
You'll hate me for a long time
And I am scared
I gotta heal my conscience
My heart is bare
What if I fail
What if I fail
Beyond the pale...
What am I lacking?
[chorus]
...
I hate to say there's never gonna be another
We'll be together for life
I'm your big brother for life
When you were younger
I held you up to the clouds
I lost my grip but you turned out alright
I'll never forget how I felt on that day
You dusted yourself off and said I'm okay
We gotta find a way to slow this planet down
Slow down
[chorus]
I know you wish that I wasn't your big brother
God, I wish that I could change
You know I tried
And it's safe to say there's never gonna be another
Please forgive me or pretend
Cause I'll love you until the end

Selfless

Leave me
I don't wanna see you anymore
Lead me
And I thank you by slamming my door
I've been looking for someone
Who can see the things I've done
Look me in the eye and say
"I need you"
How can someone like you love me
And live your life so selflessly
I really wanna be the person you can clearly see
But something inside keeps it from reaching me
Some days
I just wanna claw my insides out
Flat notes
I just wanna fucking scream and shout
But I'm starting to feel ground
Turning my whole life around
And it's thanks to you
So I will make you proud
How can someone like you love me
And live your life so selflessly
I really wanna be the person you can clearly see
But something in my eyes just won't let me
How can someone like you love me
And live your life so selflessly
I hope I never write this song again
Feeling so lost without a friend
Except for you
I would be nothing without you

Falling
Falling into darkness
Crawling
Crawling out from this mess
The things I have seen
Have knocked me off my axis
Now I'm falling down
I need 'bout 800 hours or so
To regain solid ground
Decaf Coffee
Still has a little bit of caffeine
Say you're joking
I know you're saying all that you mean
Oh, I hope that you can see
I'm panicking taking it easy
Decaf coffee can't sustain me
Hey, hey
Old wounds
Have been reawakened
Dime stores
Ripe and for the taking
The things I have done
Have left me naught but anguish
And I wish I were dead
I need to find some relief for my head
That's all I wanna do when drinking my...
Decaf Coffee
Still has a little bit of caffeine
Say you're joking
I know you're saying all that you mean
Oh, I hope that you can see
I'm panicking taking it easy
Decaf coffee can't sustain me
Whoa-oh
And so I made the change
But I don't feel fine
'Cause at the end of my life
I'll still die
Is it nerves or am I having a heart attack?
Decaf coffee ain't enough to get my life back
