New Day

The trees look so sad tonight
Like they are ready to give up
Standing in the rain thinking of the life
that they had before
The moon gets so worried sick
That the stars won’t shine again
Wonders to himself if everything
Will be the same tomorrow
The ocean is calm right now
Longing for the good old days
When islands were a place
He was always able to escape to
And the sun will rise in a few more hours
It’s the dawn of a brand new day

The Best Part
03:36
|

Might take a minute to see it all
Might want to hold on before you fall
Cause there’s no time to break
There’s no turning back
I might want to wonder not to get lost
I might just forgive you and pay the cost
Cause I don’t hold a grudge
And who am I to judge?
Don’t close your eyes
You’re missing the best part
Might as well just take my chance
Might as well just leave a mess
Cause it has been a crazy ride
A rollercoaster in my mind
Don’t close your eyes
You’re missing the best part

Sadness
03:24

Taste the flames
Catch the fire
Take the blame by your hands
Maybe someday you will see it through my eyes
Maybe someday you will know what it’s like
I’ve seen sadness and it comes in different shapes
Sadness and it wears a million masks
turn your head and deny it
Walk away from the prize
Maybe someday you will see what you’re missing
Maybe someday you will learn how to smile.
I’ve seen sadness and it comes in different shapes
Sadness and it wears a million masks

Turn Your Back
03:56
|

|
The pieces of the day
Crawl up inside
They will be gone too soon
When you blink your eyes
In a fraction of a second
you clinch a fist
When you hit a new low
The ground beneath you shifts
So turn your back and walk away
I hope that the storm is going to pass you by
Every burning bridge is a lullaby
A locked box someone left out in the cold
Like a ticking bomb just waiting to explode
So turn your back and walk away
I'm nothing but a shadow of your light
I can do no harm, I disappear at night
The bags are packed and ready by the door
Time to say goodbye
Like we’ve said before
So turn your back and walk away

Keep Hoping
04:36
|
|||
|
You’re clinging to the hope that one day your turn will come
Maybe things will fall right where they belong this time
The moon still shines above us making sure we’re safe at night
So take a look around you see the colors change
The seasons go in circles and both of us have aged
I’m gracefully forgiving and writing all my wrongs Again
I couldn’t help but notice that something’s just not right
And I want to protect you and keep you by my side
Infinity has limits set by fear inside our heart
The line is getting shorter between the want and must
And I have no intention to throw you under the bus
I am happy just to be here to put on my big fake smile
The world around you crumbles
The pieces on the floor
Making your way up
To break in any door
