verse 1:
can’t sleep in the middle of the chaos
can’t sleep when i can’t even close my eyes
might even be known as a rebel
on the other side, i’m your man
–
chorus 1:
hold on for tomorrow
on the other side
on the other side
the other side
can’t beg and borrow
trying to save yourself
cause you’ll lose it all
without the one
who can erase all
–
verse 2:
keep feelin i’ve got to be myself
carry on my sorrowed love
screaming out at yourself
can’t make up your mind
can your sorrow
carry you onward
–
chorus 2:
i’ll be on the other side
on the other
on the other side
on the other side
can’t find the meaning
when you said take all my love
can you fall asleep without me
–
chorus 3:
hold on for tomorrow
on the other side
on the other side
the other side
can’t bend to sorrow
like you’ve done all your life
let it go
let it go
life still carries on

verse1:
rain falling down on the top of my head
breathe this smoke in
deep in my chest
i've got this feeling
i can't describe it
but i can't deny it
–
verse 2:
sometimes i wonder how far we've missed
how far we've missed the mark
have we taken things too far
too far again
give me a sign
–
chorus 1:
and if we count up all our sins
can we account for all of them
our own honor can we defend
–
verse 3:
can you imagine how life would be
if we dropped our biases to live in peace
loving one another
no condemnation
a unified generation
–
chorus 2:
when we account for all our flaws
does it do any good at all
if right back in our own shit we fall

Go Around
03:06
|
|||
|
verse 1:
a song bird came and sang your name
whispered in my ear and then it flew away
oh so tired of chasing love
for it to never land like the hummingbirds up above
–
chorus:
it's the beginning of may
and i think this might be my last go around
but only if you'll stay
stay with me until we're 6 feet under ground
—
verse 2:
for once i'd like to settle down
i'm finally ready, putting deep roots in this town
my fantasies have steered me wrong
how could i be so foolish, should've seen it all along

Reminiscing
03:20
|
|||
|
verse 1:
i remember when i was young
my father would say
if someone annoys
you're likely the same way
and it’s better to do
the right thing than be right
and remember my son
it always takes two to fight
—
chorus 1:
reminiscing over days that are done
a wise father so loving and teaching his son
do you see who i am now
do you see how i've grown
all lessons you taught me made it through somehow
—
verse 2:
even as a child as i am today
desire a partner
for life
for always
i've been stricken with love
broken hearted by dames
they left me with scars
i'll never be the same
–
chorus 2:
reminiscing over days that are done
a foolish boy following a trail of false love
but look who i am now
but look how i've grown
all the failed attempts and tears i've spent
mistakes of my own

verse 1:
closed eyes
you can’t sleep
someone’s on your mind
you know there’s no reciprocation
why even try
–
chorus:
and you feel alone
and you can’t sleep when you’re on your own
insomnia
insomnia
–
verse 2:
come inside
share my sheets
get lost in the night
you’re my guilty satisfaction
why even try

find me on the shore
seeing the sun in the distance reminds me
what i’m searching for
myself
myself

found in the midst of all the chaos i
i found myself within

hold my hand

i’ll show you mine
give me a chance
give me a try

i feel it in my bones
kiss me and make it real and make it mine
please don’t ever go

Tore My Heart Open

yeah
and so i tore my heart open
just see what it feels like
just to see what i’m made of
what’s on the inside
—
see i believe
that we must face our fears
that we must shed some tears
believing our best years
will soon be here
—
will soon be here
will soon be here
—
yeah
and so i tore my heart open
just see what it feels like
just to see what i’m made of
what’s on the inside
—
see i believe
that we must face our fears
that we must shed some tears
believing our best years
will soon be here
