How would you know if the words that you spoke
Held meaning to the ones that you love most
What would it show as you'd try, though you'd choke
To bare the truth to those that you hold close
Would you put it all at stake
Trying hard to fake what you can't make
Would you throw caution to the wind
I've seen you standing in the rain
It hides the tears you're crying
But it leaves you with the pain
Don't let it steal your light
Don't let it steal your right to feel sane
And don't forget that It'll kill you all the same
How can you fight that which you know is right
And take your time getting this off your chest
Deep in the night, when you turn off the lights
And tell yourself you think you did your best
Your time is fading fast
Can you tell one day from all the rest
Can you throw caution to the wind
I've seen you standing in the rain
It hides the tears you're crying
But it leaves you with the pain
Don't let it steal your light
Don't let it steal your right to feel sane
And don't forget that It'll kill you all the same
I could throw, I can throw
I will throw caution to the wind
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I've seen you standing in the rain
It hides the tears you're crying
But it leaves you with the pain
Don't let it steal your light
Don't let it steal your right to feel sane
And don't forget that It'll kill you all the same
It'll kill you all the same

Set sights on the feed for
First time in a week or two today
And all that I can say's
It's lookin all the same, just a different day
Same lies just different sounding
Tired eyes no astounding things to see
Or news I can't believe
Or truths that bring me to my knees
Hope it looks like I've been trying
Cause although I'm inconsistent
I don't want my name to fade
Sometimes I only feel like crying
Like it's time for me to try my hand at
Playin' a different game
I've been wasting away
Haunted by the past and what my demons say
Life keeps racing ahead
Fixated and possessed by paranoia
You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead
Woke up feelin hollow
Too much noise to follow here
Persistent ringing in my ears
Manipulating my fears
All I own feels so borrowed
All due dates set for tomorrow
Time to spin some records I know
Sing away some of this sorrow
Hope you'd never think I'm lying
Cause as well as I turn phrases
I can't take back what I said
And if it looks like I've been dying
I'm not finished nor prepared
To take my place among the dead
I've been wasting away
Haunted by the past and what my demons say
Life keeps racing ahead
Fixated and possessed by paranoia
You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead
And all the best lines that I've never used
Are all the ones that I pretended I could say real smooth
In a ten-year-old white Altima
When I still thought I was on to somethin' hot
All the arguments that they would win
Although I'd never even had a single one of them
Drivin' down the highway singin' when the sky was dark
All the songs within my heart
Well if I had the life I'd wanted then
Who could know the kind of places that I would've been
Off the deep end, spiraling with no control
Or a box six deep under earth and stone
When I faced down God and shared my plans
I guess I didn't really think it would get such a laugh
Funny now to turn back looking at the things I've done
And the thing that I've become
I've been wasting away
Haunted by the past and what my demons say
Life keeps racing ahead
Fixated and possessed by paranoia
You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead
I'm through wasting away
I'm through trippin' over all the lies
That all my demons love to say
This life keeps racing ahead
Fixated and possessed by paranoia
You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead
You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up

Someday

I know that this is going somewhere
I know I'm playin the right cards
You can't deny me of this feelin
Cause you don't confuse me anymore
I know that I don't have to fight it
Cause I know that you don't really mind
It's true that I'm a bit precautious
But I know it's not a waste of time
Someday you're gonna see what you're missin
Someday you're gonna find out why
For now I'm gonna sit here and listen
Til it seems to be the proper time
Someday you're gonna see what the point was
Someday you'll see why I would go
To Hell and back to earn your trust
So just believe me when I say
Someday
I feel like I've been struck by lightning
And I feel like it won't go away
Tonight I can't fight off the burnin
But I think that I'd like it to stay
Someday you're gonna see what you're missin
Someday you're gonna find out why
For now I'm gonna sit here and listen
Til it seems to be the proper time
Someday you're gonna see what the point was
Someday you'll see why I would go
To Hell and back to earn your trust
So just believe me when I say
Someday
This waiting couldn't last any longer
This pain it couldn't get much worse
I know I've gotta wait until it's time
So I'll just keep my self in line and say
Someday you're gonna see what you're missin
Someday you're gonna find out why
For now I'm gonna sit here and listen
Til it seems to be the proper time
Someday you're gonna see what the point was
Someday you'll see why I would go
To Hell and back to earn your trust
So just believe me when I say
Someday

I will catch you
I will break your fall
I will hold you through it all
Do you see me aching, dying to get in
Do you hear me whisper softly
Through your trials
You've stayed strong
I've been with you all along
Do you see me aching, dying to get in
Do you hear me whisper softly
Do you see me aching, dying to get in
Do you hear me whisper softly

Last Night (Forgive Me)

Last night, you said to me
I'm worried, I don't like seeing you this way
I said to you that I'm sorry
Then sleep pulled at me
Last night, I said to you
That it's not your fault
I got myself here on my own
When you say sorry, oh it kills me
Now sleep pulls at me
Last night helped me to see
That you and I share something terrible and true
We'd rather die than be lonely
So I promise I'll take care of you
If you take care of me
We both know things don't always go our way
I'm not perfect but I'll prove to you someday
That I'm in control and that
Your trust was not a waste
Forgive me, I haven't changed
I'd just lost my way
I'm still me, but you should
Know I can make mistakes
Day after day I've been stuck in this game
Which sometimes I feel just too broken to play
Believe when I say I promise I'm here to stay
Forgive me, I haven't changed
I'd just lost my way
I'm still me, but you should
Know I can make mistakes
Day after day I've been stuck in this game
Which sometimes I feel just too broken to play
Believe when I say I promise I'm here to stay
Forgive me

You're trying a little harder each time
To get a little bit higher
With with every little climb
But I've seen you toppling over
And every moment that you're awake
Gets a little bit harder
With each breath you take
And I've seen you hide the horror
When did your heart stop beating
When did depression set
When will you ever get a rest
Don't look back
You're not chained to your past
You know you're not alone
Don't do this on your own
No one sees you how you wanna be seen
And this illusion of you is looking anything but clean
Yet you seem to keep composure
Nobody seems to know you
How you'd like to be known
But you've got to learn to let it go
Don't look back
You're not chained to your past
You know you're not alone
Don't do this on your own
Drowned in your loneliness
Unable to continue
Just let it go, release control
It's no longer within you
Don't look back
You're not chained to your past
You know you're not alone
Don't do this on your own

One Step At A Time
04:50

Younger soul don't worship
The idea of growing old
Don't try too hard to keep control
Your dreams have not yet set in the mold
Don't forget there's many things
That you have not yet learned
And many years you've not yet turned
And wisdom that can only be earned
There's so much you've yet to try
And it all starts inside
If you'd just open up your eyes
You could reach out with your mind
You'll miss out on so much life
If you don't take it all in stride
Take it one step at a time
We all long for things beyond
What we've already got
Well step right up and take your shot
But stay true to the course you plot
Some things feel just out of reach
Just past what you can grab
There's nothing wrong with being grateful
For what you already have
Stand up for what you deserve
And make your voice heard
If you'd just open up your eyes
You could reach out with your mind
You'll miss out on so much life
If you don't take it all in stride
Every new direction brings
Another new perspective
It brings another song to sing
Another new objective
It brings a fresh expression
To that face that's in the mirror
And every new reflection makes it clearer
It makes it clearer.
We're going on this trip together
Setting off our next adventure
No one else just you and me
Becoming who we're meant to be
I can't imagine much more fun
From rising to the setting sun
We'll find before the day is done
We cannot lose what we have won
Take it one step at a time
Take it one step at a time
Take it one step at a time
Take it one step at a time
Open up
Open up
Open up
Open up
We're going on this trip together
Setting off our next adventure
No one else just you and me
Becoming who we're meant to be
I can't imagine much more fun
From rising to the setting sun
We'll find before the day is done
We cannot lose what we have won
Take it one step at a time
Take it one step at a time
Take it one step at a time
Take it one step at a time
Open up
Open up
Open up
Open up
