1. Crawling In The Dark - (2:54)
I will dedicate and sacrifice my every-thing
for just a seconds worth of how my story's ending
and I wish I could know if the directions that I take
and all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
Help me carry on
assure me it's ok to
use my heart and not my eyes
to navigate the darkness
will the ending be
ever coming suddenly?
will I ever get to see
the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go? (have to go)
and how much longer until I finally know? (finally know)
cause I am looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
in front of me
Show me what it's for
make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
2. Remember Me - (3:41)
I stand here face to face
with someone that I used to know
who used to look at me and laugh
but now he claims
that he's known me for so very long
but I remember being no one
I wanted to be just like you
so perfect, so untouchable
now you want me to be with you
someone who used to have it all
do you remember now?
you acted liked you never noticed me
forget it!
cause the gone has come around
you're not allowed to be a part of me
Did you know me
or where you too preoccupied with
playing king in your small kingdom
and now the real world
has stripped you of your royalty
and from your kingdom your evicted
I wanted to be just like you
so perfect, so untouchable
now you want me to be with you
someone who used to have it all
do you remember now?
you acted liked you never noticed me
forget it!
cause the gone has come around
you're not allowed to be a part of me
part of me, part of me, part of me
You're never going to be a part of me (x6)
Do you remember now?
you acted liked you never noticed me
forget it!
cause the gone has come around
you're not allowed to be a part of me
part of me, part of me, part of me
3. Running Away - (2:59)
I don't want you to give it all up
and leave your own life collecting dust
and I don't want you to feel sorry for me
you never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
and tell me that everything's all right
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
why are you running away?
I did enough to show you that I
was willing to give and sacrifice
and I was the one who was lifting you up
when you thought your life had had enough
and when I get close you turn away,
there's nothing that I can do or say
so now I need you to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
why are you running away?
Is it me? Is it you?
nothing that I can do
to make you change your mind
Is it me? Is it you?
nothing that I can do
is it a waste of time?
Is it me? Is it you?
nothing that I can do
to make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
why are you running away?
(what is it I have to say?)
so why are you running away?
(to make you admit you're afraid)
why are you running away?
4. Pieces - (3:15)
Turn around and pick up the pieces!
I, like a rock, sink, sinking 'til I hit the bottom
the water is much deeper than I thought
nothing to swim with, kickin' but I keep sinking
a lesson that no one could have ever taught
And I can almost breathe the air
right beyond my finger tips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
one more push and I'll be there
back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
I see the picture, blurry but now it's in focus
a fairy tale I purchased on my own
I finally woke up, everything is better
a chance for me to open up and grow
And I can almost breathe the air
right beyond my finger tips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
one more push and I'll be there
back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
Turn around and pick up the pieces! (x3)
Suffocating, sinking further almost every day
(turn around and pick up the pieces!)
barely treading, water knowing I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
Cause I can almost breathe the air,
right beyond my finger tips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
one more push and I'll be there
back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
5. Let You Know - (3:39)
I just thought that I'd let you know
that although I'm far
I'm close to you within
and all the time spent by your side
is taken deep in me
held for me to keep
to look upon when I'm feeling like
everything and one
is hurting me for something or other
it takes me to a better place
nowhere I'd rather go
I thought I'd let you know
Who you are, what you do
makes me burn to be in you (be in you)
who you are, what you do
I'm burning to be in you
I just thought that I'd let you know
being near you is
a gift I only wish I could treasure
but for now I'll sit and wait
but I'm still burning though
thought I'd let you know
Who you are, what you do
makes me burn to be in you (be in you)
who you are, what you do
I'm burning to be in you
Thought I'd let you know
It feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
thought I'd let you know
it feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
thought I'd let you know
Who you are, what you do
makes me burn to be in you (be in you)
who you are, what you do
I'm burning to be in you
Who you are, what you do
makes me burn to be in you (be in you)
who you are, what you do
I'm burning to be in you
6. Better - (2:53)
Just when I thought that I was better
I realized that I don't know what better was
is it..
better then I used to be?
better for you or for me?
or better hurry 'cause I need
a better view of things?
I don't know what it is
or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
don't know where to go
can't remember all the things that
I need to know
all I know is that
if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
And I'm not getting any better
cause every time I can't remember what it's for
is it...
better now then yesterday?
better that I am this way?
I'd better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn't say
Cause I don't know what it is
or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
don't know where to go
can't remember all the things that
I need to know
all I know is that
if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be
I'd still rather be me than me be you
Cause I don't know what it is
or what I might be coming down with
no I don't know what it is
or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
don't know where to go
can't remember all the things that
I need to know
all I know is that
if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be
I'd still rather be me than me be you
me be you
7. Ready For You - (3:05)
Go on, make me feel it's useless
when in fact it's you that needs to have me near
so now, keep me at safe distance
and with a little persistence
I'll make it crystal clear
That I'll be around
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
don't be afraid
I know what you're going through
so when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
Now you seem to be content with
a one sided of friendship
with you I've got to chase
slow down,
so I can smell the roses
but the road you've chose
is crooked and unpaved
(my tires are spinning but to no avail)
Cause I'll be around
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
don't be afraid
I know what you're going through
so when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
And I'll be around
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
don't be afraid
I know what you're going through
so when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'll be around,
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
don't be afraid
I know what you're going through
so when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
8. Up And Gone - (3:20)
Staring at the white above
can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead?
or is it in my head?
(where'd I go wrong?)
Staring at the white above
one day I closed my eyes
and here I am
a cold unhappy man
I've come to realize the life I have
I hate, the pulse I need is slowly fading
until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
for a chance I never got to take
before it's much too late
(where'd I go wrong?)
Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
It feels as if the boy in me
has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
approach him slow, don't be afraid to say
"can he come out and play?"
(where'd I go wrong?)
Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
Staring at the sky above
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
(where'd I go wrong?)
Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
(where'd I go wrong?)
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
(where'd I go wrong?)
9. Too Little Too Late - (3:15)
I've been so long in waiting
putting my life on hold for this
chance to live out my dreams
you think you know what I should
do with the choices I now have
make them benefit you
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
where were you when I was needy yesterday?
you want in with me
now that it's good
but it's too little too late
Time and again I've asked you
just for some light to show the way
I was in total darkness
you act like I owe you something
but I don't owe anything to anyone but me
have you no dignity?
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
where were you when I was needy yesterday?
you want in with me
now that it's good
where were you yesterday?
what if I don't want to hear the things you say?
where were you when I was needy yesterday?
you want in with me
now that it's good
but it's too little too late
you're too late
I know exactly what I'll
do with the advice that you gave
watch me throw it all away
What if I don't want to hear all the things you say?
where were you when I was needy yesterday?
you want in with me
now that it's good
where were you yesterday?
what if I don't want to hear the things you say?
where were you when I was needy yesterday?
you want in with me
now that it's good
but it's too little too late
but it's too little too late
but it's too little too late
10. Hello Again - (3:01)
I dream that someday we'll be able
to look back on this together and say
it was for the best and that it
made us stronger today, stronger today
There's much more for us to see
a brand new day for you and me
and with confidence I say
we're better than ever
and I don't know where this will lead
but in my life you need to be
cause I need to say
hello again
I'm so afraid that if I wait too long
you'll never look in my eyes again
with a look that gave me strength
and gave me hope and made me feel I've inspired
There's much more for us to see
a brand new day for you and me
and with confidence I say
we're better than ever
and I don't know where this will lead
but in my life you need to be
cause I need to say
hello again
Hello again
hello again
hello again
There's much more for us to see
a brand new day for you and me
and with confidence I say
we're better than ever
and I don't know where this will lead
but in my life you need to be
cause I need to say
hello again
There's much more for us to see
a brand new day for you and me
and with confidence I say
we're better than ever
and I don't know where this will lead
but in my life you need to be
cause I need to say
hello again
11. To Be With You - (4:02)
You make me feel again
slide across my skin again
let me uncover you
to rediscover you
And I will open up
if you promise to give in
on this perfect night
let the two of us be one
We will be again another time
no matter what all the others say
cause I would leave it all so far behind
just to be with you today
So make me feel again
feel your every breathe again
nevermind everyone
there's only me and you
We will be again, another time
no matter what all the others say
cause I would leave it all so far behind
just to be with you today
just to be with you today
(just to be with you) today
(just to be with you)
We will be again, another time
no matter what all the others say
cause I would leave it all so far behind
just to be with you today
So, we will be again, another time
and I will do what I need to do
to leave the others all so far behind
just so I can be
just so I can be
with you (x7)
12. Give It Back - (2:55)
We've shared our lives and all of what we know
but now it seems you don't know me from
the guy next door or the next or the next
Give it back
you need to give it back
cause loyalty is something that you lack
I let you in and showed you all of me
but you took it all and trashed the place
and I'm so sick of cleaning it up
Give it back
you need to give it back
cause loyalty is something that you lack
give it back
(my time and devotion)
give it back
(the love that I gave)
No more making it up to you,
I don't think that you're ever going to do it (x6)
Give it back
you need to give it back
cause loyalty is something that you lack
give it back
(my time and devotion)
give it back
(the love that I gave)
no more making it up to you,
I don't think that you're ever going to do it
----------
(Uh, like, rap, like cheesy rap, like
"I once gave it back, and now, and it was taken from me
and then I got it back again!"
(laughter)
"I want what once was mine!"
(laughter))
