lyrics Fear of Falling Verse #1 Sunny days confuse me now In ways unlike before Careful not to smile to long Did you know a face can launch a war? It’s a crazy situation When happiness can usher in the pain. It’s wasted concentration To see the sun But focus on The rain. Chorus In my mind I see what could have been In my heart I feel that kind of gravity What goes up must come down Even starlight will hit the ground Will there ever be another sunny day Without the fear of falling? Verse #2 Was that the phone? Oh no, Who calls at this time of morning? I was in the middle of a warm embrace. Riding this wave, it’s nice to see the world from this point of view. Why do these waves always seem to have to break? Repeat Chorus Bridge See it shine Touch the rays Kiss me quick Before the moment slips away Repeat Chorus Growin’ Pains Verse #1 When I was just a little boy, my legs would start to ache. Grandma told me, “Close your eyes. The pain will surely fade.” She’d rub my arm, and stroke my hair, and whisper in my ear. She said, “Breathin’ deep and singin’ songs will always help to ease your fears of these… Chorus Growin’ pains They’re just growin’ pains When your soul is stretched out from the strain of all this change She said “You can make it through these growin’ pains.” Verse #2 Yesterday the world I knew came crashing to the ground Pieces of the man I was were the only thing I found I leaned against a wall with my fingers through my hair Fightin’ through the tears that fell My broken voice filled the air, singin’ Repeat Chorus Bridge Life can crumble in the blink of an eye Love can slip away before you’ve said goodbye Everything I know could up and disappear I’d close my eyes and pray her voice I’d hear remindin’ Repeat Chorus Believe What You Will Verse 1 Come in, sit down, take a load off your feet Enjoy the atmosphere, the sound of the beat Of your heart joining in to the rhythm of the room Breathe it in, shake it off, let go of the gloom Feel free to stir things ‘round, or finally be still Step on up and believe what you will Verse 2 Make me the next big thing or a guy with a guitar Make yourself someone else or just come as you are Take your time, take your place Make this boring or a thrill Step on up and believe what you will Bridge Ain’t no tricks up my sleeve but the words that I weave As I’m stumblin’, tumblin’ Or the things that you hear as you drink down your beer Against grumblin’, mumblin’ We can step out of line, we can make it all fine, You can take as you feel, It’s all part f the deal When you step up, and believe what you will Outro Come in, sit down make this okay or a thrill Step on up and believe what you will. Swerve Verse 1 If I threw in the towel Let it all crash down Would you agree with me? Probably, see So many seem to be ready to let it all slide The pace is set when you place your bet that it’s worse out there on the other side Chorus Yes it’s true This point of view Is not always the easy one Life throws you curves And you stumble and swerve Mumble and cope Hold onto the hope Verse 2 There’s this day by day Disappointment you say In having not done it all Sometimes destiny Is slippery Your steps have to be small So you won’t fall Repeat Chorus Bridge Give into the winter wind and will turn you blue Give up on the knot your in and it could suffocate you Drag you down Grab onto the rope and hope Repeat Chorus March On Verse 1 With his head in his hands and his kid by his side His life on the floor and a ghost for a bride He grabbed what he could in the time that he had And moved away Broken pieces in tow and a prayer for some grace Crescent moons in his palms a blank look on his face He never slowed down, let things fall, dropped the ball, did it all, kept the pace. Chorus It’s alright now We’ll make it through somehow When you walk down the road that our life’s built upon You deal with the dark and dream of the dawn Hold your breath tight Trust that the morning comes And march on. Verse 2 Well it’s full speed ahead, brand new day, brand new game, Built a home for his son and a house for the pain Cleaned what he could with the tears that remained And hid the stains Finding love, facing fear with the same tough attack Put a lock on the past and he never looked back When the memories returned or the boy dared to ask He’d look away. Repeat Chorus Bridge Standing still after twenty years Side by side he said “I need to tell you son how hard I tried to stop our world from falling.” Repeat Chorus Andy Verse 1 You made page two Of the Sunday News, Andy. Did you think they’d see the truth, Or call you crazy? Well maybe, you felt just like me, Andy. Verse 2 Did you tow the line? Go to work each day? Smile and say It’s gonna be okay? But that old tv, He just won’t agree. Did you feel like me, Andy? Andy… Bridge Tell me how can you smile when your heart feels gone? How can you show the world that a choice is wrong? Is this a sign of what is to be? Or just your white flag waving, Andy? Andy… Verse 3 Do you see peace From where you are? Are you smiling From that distant star? From way down here It ain’t so clear. It’d be great to hear, Andy. Andy. Back and Forth Verse Your silhouette framed in the front porch swing Hiding your fears of the inevitable The pages of my journal flipping through my head The way I dreamed it would feel when I finally said it Chorus Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth we go Back and forth Back and forth Oh, soul to soul Here we go Verse 2 All my confessions Keeping time to squeaky chains All of your questions I can not see you. are you crying? You want my happiness But you’d also like to have your own You’ve worked so hard to make it so But the dream is cracking Repeat Chorus Bridge We take it from “I love you” To “How could this be.” Your hands are clutching your knees. You take a deep breath, but you do not meet my eye. I hope we all make it to heaven. Verse 3 Feet touch the ground Time to stop this childish rocking I guess it’s thank you for the truth You could write more often Repeat Chorus Masterpiece of Why Verse I never dreamed your angel wings Could take you Away from me Two doors down moved your paradise My favorite jeans and your brand new life The road home always leads me right past you Chorus I can’t stop staring at your window Every time that I go by I can’t stop staring at your window Reflections of my selfish side I can’t stop staring at your window Getting lost in this masterpiece of why Verse This lifetime confuses me What you gets exactly what you see Somewhat damaged goods with a simple soul Did I project something strange on you Like an elephant with a pinkish hue Holding strong To the center of the room Repeat Chorus Bridge Just me out here Little bit of fear and heartache Never quite clear if I’ll feel this way again Repeat Chorus Rise Verse 1 Think I’m ready to rise Wipe this stranger’s vision from my eyes Evolution waiting as the prize For the constant aching, waking self analyzed Trying to work it out Eaten up by these doubts Chorus All these critics in my head Keep talking and talking and talking Pushing me back into bed Tossing and turning Just yearning to rise Verse 2 Sometimes it feels like death To burn this stern façade and take a breath Listen without fear the final step But that ain’t no easy ride It’s eating me up inside Repeat Chorus Bridge Who do you think you are? What do you have to say? Why bother? The world’s so big anyway Repeat Chorus Grace in Space Verse 1 Grace in Space The lines upon my face A road map to the center of the moon I’ll be home soon Family tree Picture perfect memories Hanging on the wall for all to see Do you see me? Chorus Flicker ‘round the sound of day Let the crystal skies turn grey Autumn leaves burn red then fly away Verse 2 Time and Space Set the rules for this human race Waiting on the clock to tock it’s toll Make me whole Not sure of anything ‘cept life, love, death, and the songs I sing All these masters of disguise Am I wise? Repeat Chorus Truth Stained Lies Verse 1 58 degrees Very strange summer breeze Life’s knocked him to his knees The world’s turned upside down See the story in his eyes Gavel, guilty, done. No surprise. Sifting through these truth stained lies Meant to set him free Chorus When we are nothing more Than what we’re given credit for We take it in and pass it on and on and on and on Breathe in and radiate All the truth that you can take Release these dreams of fate that go on and on and on and on and on Verse #2 They all seem so confused How the man can be so bruised They’ve done all that they can do I hope that he’ll be fine So he takes a second with his favorite friend Countin’ down to the minute when He won’t make the same mistake again Can somebody pass the wine Repeat Chorus Bridge Who can see the face of tomorrow? Hell I can’t even look into the eyes of today How many words must a man swallow To finally make it all just go away? Repeat Chorus
