Sweep Away 03:44
We All Have Something That We Want to Forget Little Bits of Life That We All Regret Weight of the Guilt Holding You Down Like a Stone Sounds From Your Closet are the Rattling Bones Sweep Away Sweep Away What You Can Sweep Away Sweep Away What You Can You Often Told Me That If You Could Do It Over Again You’d Wish For Something Different So Your World Would Change Flashes of Your Life Seem To Hurt Your Eyes Can’t Lose the Shadow When You Run Towards the Light Sweep Away Sweep Away What You Can Sweep Away Sweep Away What You Can Sweep Away Sweep Away What You Can Sweep Away Sweep Away What You Can We All Have Something That We Want to Forget

He Was A Man 02:48
He was a man – Who Had Everything He Could Ever Hope For A Corner Office – On a Very High Floor And Tailored Made Suits That Fit Like a Velvet Glove He was a Man – With a Family and a Two Car Garage Who Mowed His Own Lawn – Every Weekend Of His Adult Life The Greenest Grass You’ve Ever Seen And Then She Left and Took Half His Heart Away She Left a Note That Said She’s Gone Away So Far Away So Far Away From Him He Was a Man – Overboard Looking For a Rope – Searching For a Light To Save His Life Searching For Hope He Was Going Down – Falling Down a Hole Because She Left and Took Half His Heart Away She Left a Note That Said She’s Gone Away So Far Away So Very Far Away From Him He Was a Man A Perfect Man A Lonely Man And Now He’s Gone

If We Can Hear It Now And It’s Getting Louder Should We Push It All Away? If We Can See It Here Nice And Clear Could We Make It Go Away? Could We Make It Go Away? Could We Push It All Away? If You Could Sing a Song Would You Sing It Loud? Should You Sing It Loud All Day? If You Love To Move If You Love To Dance Could You Shake it Up All Day? Could They Take It All Away? Could They Take It All Away From You? You Wanted Hope And Change Will They Take It All Away? Instrumental Break Could They Take It All Away? Could They Take It All Away From You? You Wanted Hope And Change Will They Take It All Away - From You?

It’s Been Awhile I Still Feel Nothing It’s Been Awhile - Should I Feel Something? All I Had to Say - I said To You No One Will Remember - Nothing Really Matters Anymore And The Lies You Leave Behind Define You All of the Secrets Now In Full Bloom So Many Words That Never Rang True Nothing Really Matters - No One Will Remember Anymore Like a Bird Inside An Open Cage - Afraid to Up and Fly Away You Took Your Time to Let It Go – To Let It Go You Took Your Time to Kiss The Sky I asked If You Saw The Light - You Never Answered – Never Said a Word We’ll Never Know Never Know Your Empty Life Seems Emptier Now Peeking Through the Holes In The Walls Around You That You Built So Long Ago No One Will Remember - Nothing Really Matters Anymore Like a Bird Inside An Open Cage - Afraid to Up and Fly Away You Took Your Time to Let It Go – To Let It All Go You Took Your Time to Kiss The Sky I asked If You Saw The Light - You Never Answered – Never Said a Word We’ll Never Know Never Know It’s Been Awhile I Still Feel Nothing It’s Been Awhile - Should I Feel Something? Took Your Time to Let It Go And Kiss The Sky

We Were Going Down To Virginia In a Vega We Once Had The Three Of Us In The Back In The Front Were Mom and Dad In My Arms I held a Guitar and We Were Playing Beatle Songs Ain’t it Funny How Time Moves On As The Road Rolled Beneath Us and The Stars Seemed To Come Along Moments Seemed Like Forever and Nothing Could Go Wrong In My Arms I held a Guitar and We Were Singing Beatle Songs Ain’t it Funny How Time Moves On Instrumental Break In My Arms I held this Guitar - We Were Singing Beatle Songs Ain’t it Funny How Time Moves On Ain’t it Funny How Time Moves On Ain’t it Funny How Time Moves On

Yeah, She Spoke to Me In Man-Ray Picture Everything Black + White - Down To The Wire Unlike Me, You See, She’s Wrapped Too Tight It Comes From The Pressures That Have Built Up Inside Just Another Day In Life As She Writes Her Name Upon The Glass Using a Canvas Made From One Simple Breath Fingerpainting With The Lunar Backlight This Was a Moment Where Everything’s Right Just Another Day In Life This Day Is Gone Now And My Candles Burn Overflow Feelings – My Thoughts Into Words Sleep Takes Over As I Finish To Write Completing These Pages – These Moments In Life One Moment In Life

Once in a lifetime someone comes along and goes for that ride Shares all your visions your feelings (and) ultimately your life I can’t imagine her slipping from my hands and fading away I couldn’t fathom losing her again Losing her again It’s like a flipbook colored scrapbook When thinking back and closing my eyes I breath her in laced together intimately intertwined I can’t imagine her slipping from my hands and fading away I couldn’t fathom losing her again Losing her again I can’t imagine her slipping from my hands and fading away I can’t imagine her slipping from my hands and fading away Losing her again Losing her again
