Prelude 01:07

When I was young I thought that love would find me If I went looking for it nothing would ever come And though I've long since left the past behind me I know that life has only just begun Oh, oh Don't know what I'm thinking Maybe I'm just dreaming Or maybe this is what it feels like To fall in love To fall in love Pushing through the pain that sits inside me 'Cause I've been running with nowhere left to go But when I turn to look, you're there beside me Have I been broken or am I just finally whole? Oh, oh Don't know what I'm thinking Maybe I'm just dreaming Or maybe this is what it feels like To fall in love To fall in love The sky is falling down And I can't help but wonder If anything she said was real at all I can hear the angels sing I can feel the rolling thunder Or is everything I see just a sad mirage? And I know there's so much more to life If I could leave this lonely world behind 'Cause every time I look into your eyes I fly Oh, Oh Don't know what I'm thinking Maybe I'm just dreaming Or maybe this is what it feels like To fall in love To fall in love
3.
I hear the talk around the town Your girls are gonna tell you that I mess around But baby girl I need you to see I'm working hard to be the man you want me to be And I need you To know that I'm better than that Once upon a time long ago I led a different life, don't you know I don't pretend to have the perfect past But I promise this time our love will last And I need you To know that I'm better than that
4.
When I'm with you do you feel me The way that I feel you? Do you feel me Like I feel you? When you're dreaming do you see me The way that I see you? Do you see me Like I see you Girl you keep on running The world's gonna keep on turning The less you let your guard down The more you'll feel the hurting Girl you better listen Before you think of quitting Just listen Oh listen Girl I know you 'cause I know me I see myself in you And I can help you If you let me Because tomorrow's only hopeless When you face it by yourself Do you feel me? I know you do Girl you keep on running The world's gonna keep on turning The less you let your guard down The more you'll feel the hurting Girl you better listen Before you think of quitting Just listen Oh, listen

Not Myself 02:55
I keep your picture 'cause I have to be sure that I ain't gon' burn the bridge down You write me letters but We both know better 'cause I ain't gon' come home right now Look where we're going We're going nowhere fast Look where we're going At this rate we're never never gonna last Pulse is pounding harder, faster Sight is dimming darker, blacker My soul is shaking, quaking And my ears don't hear a sound I want you to love me I want you to hold me I want you there to protect me From myself And I need you to teach me A way to be healthy 'Cause baby when you're not with me I'm not myself I'm not myself We keep on smiling but These eyes are lying and Our lives are crashing down Time paints a skyline that Ain't yours and ain't mine and We've seen the sings - turn back now Look where we're going We're going nowhere fast Look where we're going At this rate we're never never gonna last Pulse is pounding harder, faster Sight is dimming darker, blacker My soul is shaking, quaking And my ears don't hear a sound I want you to love me I want you to hold me I want you there to protect me From myself And I need you to teach me A way to be healthy 'Cause baby when you're not with me I'm not myself I'm not myself
6.
When you and I first walked the earth The sun would rise for us Today it rose for someone else And my heart is bathed in dusk And the last time I'll see you is now 'Cause you fell in, you fell in You fell in love You fell in love I'm not a fool; I know the rules I've heard it all before The life I live, the love I give Are meant for so much more And the last time I'll feel you is now 'Cause you fell in, you fell in You fell in love You fell in love Love

Fly Away 04:59
I'm feeling something in the air today I'm afraid to look at you - you take my breath away And I don't know why but I am so ashamed There's something different in the way you breathe I always knew that when you healed those broken wings You'd fly away 'cause baby you're not meant for me And I'm so afraid that your love will slip away Tomorrow seems darker than today, today I tend to see the world in shades of gray But I have never seen the sky so clearly as today And the wind will blow no matter what I say And I'm so afraid that your love will slip away Tomorrow seems darker than today, today But there's more to life Than the story in your eyes can tell And when you're free, baby You'll fly You'll fly You'll fly away from me And when you go if I don't shed a tear It's because my love has conquered all my fear That when you fly away I'll disappear And I know you're afraid that our love will slip away Tomorrow seems darker than today Oh, I can see it in your eyes You're gonna leave me all behind Oh, soon baby I know I'll have to let you go But there's more to life Than the story in these eyes can tell And when you're free, baby You'll fly You'll fly You'll fly away from me

Go, go, go (away) Go, go, go (away) No need to explain yourself 'cause you're always perfect Blame it all on me Blame it all on me No need to apologize 'cause you know you're right and It's all on me It's all on me Life is like a raging fire The flames, they take their toll But baby you burn me up faster 'Cause you are the real disaster I thought that I could take the heat But the flames have got me beat Baby you burn me up faster 'Cause you are the real disaster Go, go, go (away) Go, go, go (away) Open your eyes and see the world around you Why you lookin' at me? Why you lookin' at me? If you really want to die, then do it. Goodbye It's nothing to me You're nothing to me Life is like a raging fire The flames, they take their toll But baby you burn me up faster 'Cause you are the real disaster I thought that I could take the heat But the flames have got me beat Baby you burn me up faster 'Cause you are the real disaster I'm leaving you I'm leaving you for me I'm leaving you And everything we used to be Just go away
9.
Hold up Just hold up Everything is gonna get better, gonna get better If you slow down Just slow down Tonight And I know Baby, I know Running never made a man better, made a man better But I can't fix No I can't fix us tonight When I'm all over the world I'm all over the world Back up Just back up Never needed any more pressure, any more pressure And I won't move No I won't move Tonight So don't call Baby, don't call You just gotta keep it together, keep it together 'Cause I can't fix No I can't fix us tonight When I'm all over the world I'm all over the world
10.
Late last night I'm coming home We had a fight on the phone I don't know what I'm thinking It seems like only yesterday The wind was crying out your name Maybe I was dreaming What it feels like Is this what it feels like? Maybe this is what it feels like It feels like Am I dreaming? Am I just sleeping? Or are you leaving me tonight? Baby girl, we had it all I'll take the blame; you make the call I don't know where I'm going If only we could try again We'd take what we have learned and then It'd be like we were dreaming What it feels like Is this what it feels like? Maybe this is what it feels like It feels like Am I dreaming? Am I just sleeping? Or are you leaving me tonight? Please don't go I wanna know the rest of our story What is my fate? Is it too late for us to fly away? Am I dreaming? Am I just sleeping? Am I dreaming?

Postlude 01:32
12.
These city walls Were made to crush the hopes and dreams Of those who find their frozen way inside These city walls Were made to keep the thoughts and things Of those who cry and bleed beneath cold skies These city walls Can suffocate a beating heart Can take a love and twist it into a scar These city walls Can bring a man down to his knees Can make him break and burn the things he loves And there is power in The sinking in of sadness And there is weakness in Accepting all the hate I only hope that you Can see me in the darkness 'Cause I've been crawling for so long And I'm alone These city walls Were made to crush the hopes and dreams Of those who find their frozen way inside These city walls Were made to keep the thoughts and things Of those who cry and bleed beneath cold skies
