To Be With 03:22
Kick off our boots at the foot of the door Chasing the sun down to the shore Brick around a heart to build a home Borrow the light to steal the dawn All my life I have been Hid from the storm Safe from harm Tie my lips to your heart For where you go That's where I start To be with Spring turns to dust, hair to grey Children grow then move away Chasing the light at the end of the day The radio hum is all that can stay All my life I have been Hid from the storm Safe from harm Throw my bones to the wind For where you go That's where I begin To be with To be with him

Step out of the doorway Another town, another face among the crowd These hills are not mine And my feet fall heavy on the ground But who knows which way you'd go If the night was at your back Over water, through thin air Head down until the morning comes But the roots in the wires will grow Like babies who are far from home Carried on the breeze Over the highest fence By love without consequence Lifted in each other's arms All young mothers know That time has no place to go It's drifting on our dreams Bring back the olive trees the western seas of old But the roots in the wires will bloom When autumn calls Rain-stained inkwells spreading fear Of all they do not know One boy drowned on TV, a thousand miles away But who knows which way you'd go If the night was at your back Over water, through thin air Head down until the morning comes But the roots in the wires will grow Like babies who are far from home Carried on the breeze Over the highest fence By love without consequence Lifted in each other's arms All young mothers know That time has no place to go It's drifting on our dreams Bring back the olive trees The Western seas of old But the roots in the wires will bloom When autumn calls

Glass fields and parking lots, cut through an iron sky Chrome paper aeroplanes take all of our goodbyes Bring some back again Forget this winter's call False starts, small change, four walls All that you have built on tears, 60-hour weeks But brother, can you remember? Five years old, forever side by side Racing heights up on the wall Till the sun, and us, must fall But boys turn to men, don't you know Get lost on the lines of the road Today to you is tomorrow in a field of yesterdays And even though we share the moon The clouds don't seem the same from fifty miles high Five years old, forever side by side Racing heights up on the wall Till the sun, and us, must fall But boys turn to men, don't you know Get lost on the lines of the road Fell deep in the ocean Tide ripped and broke Pull me out of the ocean Pull me out of the sea Tonight Five years old, forever side by side Five years old, forever side by side But boys turn to men, don't you know Get lost on the lines of the road

UNFOLD 03:53
Unfold every lie Rewind and replay Falling into blue Let down in your mind It's you hurting you Repeating the family line So switch off the day All these bruises you carry will fade To follow the coast And not lay down and give up the ghost If it's more than you You feel you can take He was your life Every kiss a crime Stolen and out of time Don't lay down your head Breathing out the day-to-day To follow the coast Crying I'm not alone in this I'm not alone is this I'm not alone If it's more than you You feel you can take If it's more than you You feel you can take Then hold on Hold on
5.
Hope hung high Above our arms A crooked sky Is falling down on us Just a child leading the marching band This new year's prayer Is nowhere to be found Bring it back to me No powdered blood movie trick No punchline No waltz in the final scene Just a child leading the marching band This new year's prayer Is nowhere to be found Bring it back to me Reverse my careless youth Turn back the lowest hours They're marking up the stones My comfort and my home My comfort and my home Pulled apart by morning bells A part of you I never tell Falls away Fade away Scattered all your hopes and dreams A part of you I'd never seen Falls away Fade away 'Cause I won't wait for the space you leave To ever fade To fade away Love over wires Radio waves Drown your words You're loved and lost in days Just a child leading the marching band This new year's prayer Is nowhere to be found

Blackout 03:52
It was only a dance Two bodies held time for a while He's taking your hand The air grows thin My heart skips a beat Blackout the last light All days will be night Blackout in my heart As you dance to the moon The satellite's down Our last broadcast is in the ground The lies that we keep Safe from the ones we adore Blackout the last light All days will be night Blackout in my heart As you dance to the moon I've got my fill of this guilt I'll share it with you I hear the warning But I stop, start, continue I don't care who I hurt I don't care who I hurt As you dance to the moon Blackout the last light All days will be night Black out in my heart As you dance to the moon

Everyone is watching from afar Settle down And have that kid you want So bad We could be so happy If I gave up on all my dreams Childish things Take that road to Italy To be the one Be adored Don't come back All because Everyone is watching from afar Settle down And have that kid you want So bad Take your life And live it while you can Everyone is watching from afar And who, who in their life Finds love, and really keeps it Who in their life Finds love, and really keeps it alive Everyone is watching from afar Settle down And have that kid you want So bad Take your life And live it while you can Everyone is watching from afar It's too late It's too late

Bloodlines 03:23
Heavy in the road after thirty years of leaving Four in the morning Falling like the frost upon my lips And words I don't believe in You and me The more I give I lose In a picture without meaning It's more than miles That keep me from returning Blood from my blood We're all that's left Torn from the start In a past I'd put to rest Unravel the cost It's not only you who feels this loss No family tree No bloodlines Could bring me back In the end Crashing with the waves But I'm stubborn and I'm tired Of giving in Holding back your fist I guess I am my mother Falling in the breeze Forgive then set adrift Blood from my blood We're all that's left Torn from the start In a past I'd put to rest Unravel the cost It's not only you who feels this loss No family tree No bloodlines Could bring me back In the end I know I must go And leave this all behind This sky is overflowing When will we be done Have we lost our way Tell me why Blood from my blood We're all that's left Torn from the start In a past I'd put to rest Unravel the cost It's not only you who feels this loss No family tree No bloodlines Could bring me back In the end
9.
Draw lines on our face Paint in the years Weathered and worn Not by you, not my me We lost on St James Barefoot and screaming Forever seemed too long ago To know Seen shadows that grow From ten feet below The cost of a silent I do The boats of Le Havre Are hung at half mast For our leaving Cold city lights Run all through the night Too heaving for the morning So hold on to these bar room scenes Leave out your heart on a wire Don't pity our time Don't hang on each line Leave out your heart on a wire New skin for old bones Blackberry Wood We lost the fear in our step We lost the way Broken down vows Like ash in the sky Never more lost Than we're found But the boats of Le Havre Are hung at half mast For our leaving Cold city lights Run all through the night Too heaving for the morning So hold on to these bar room scenes Leave out your heart on a wire Don't pity our time Don't hang on each line Leave out your heart on a wire Loves fully grown, we leave alone Leave out your heart on a wire Forgive with falling of snow Leave out your heart on a wire

Narita 04:25
Boarding my flight Back home from Narita There was ice on the wing And a pain in my head Wheels spinning slow All the way to the airport The storm hit the rain And the rain hit the storm But I couldn't get over Your words said in anger About my life And about our mother But oh brother I know how hard it's been for you in this life Friends don't come easy How foolish I was To think it could be Any different for us I carry this fear Of losing my parents What would I be Would it be years between seeing each other Would you pick up the phone And call your own brother Our dad, he turns seventy this year He'll fly to you to celebrate in Japan It breaks my heart daily That I won't be there I don't feel welcome I don't know how I can Boarding my flight Back home from Narita There was ice on the wing
