1. SAVIOURThe night is deafening when the silence is listeningAnd I'm down on my knees and I know that something is missingBecause the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying inBut I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it'Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panicRemember when we were kids and always knew when to quit itAre we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting itI don’t want to know CHORUSI just want to run to youAnd break off the chains, and throw them awayI just want to be so muchAnd shake off the dust that turned me to rustSooner than later, I need a saviourI need a saviour It won't ever change if you want it to stay the sameI really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chainedAnd when it's all you control 'cause you got nothing else to holdYou're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it goI don’t want to know CHORUS Stand me up and maybe I won't be so smallFree my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fallSave me

2. DRIVE MY SOULSeems somebody put out the moon, now the road is a mine fieldI can't follow the way she moves, I can’t see past the shadowsYou make the darkness disappear, I feel found when you stand nearI know where I am when you are here, my way becomes so clear CHORUSWhen you’re gone, will I lose controlYou're the only road I knowYou show me where to goWho will drive my soul Seems somebody burned up the signs, I can't expect the hard curvesWhere there's no borders, there are no lines, how can I know where to turnYou make the street lights re-appear, I feel bright when you stand nearI know what I am when you are here, my place becomes so clear

3. RIVEROut across cities I see buildings burn into pilesAnd watch the world in wonder as mountains turn into tilesAnd trees losing their leaves, and our faces becoming tiredI wish I could discover something that doesn't expireCome and stumble me CHORUSTake me river, carry me far

Lead me river, like a motherTake me over, to some other unknownPull me in the undertow Such are the things that make a kingdom rumble and shatterThe same dynamic that another day would never matterIt really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving And things that don't make sense are always a little deceivingCome and humble me CHORUS I want to go where you're going, a follower followingChanging but never changed, claiming but never claimed

4. THE LISTENINGPlease excuse me I'm not thinking clearIt must just be stressBut I likely shouldn't be hereI'm such a mess CHORUSI never really ever know what to sayWhen I let my emotions get in the wayI'm just trying to get us on the same pageI always get it better right afterwardsWhen all the wrong impressions are said and heardHow come I can never get the right wordsI need to convey, wish I could explain... The things that I have to work outI don't feel rightWhat has come over me I'm about to lose my mind CHORUS Can I let the trees do the talking, can I let the ground do the walkingCan I let the sky fill what's missing in, can I let my mouth do the listening 5. ICE My mouth is frozen so I can't even speakWhat a disappointment, I had it perfectlyWhat I was going to bring up suddenlyStood like a stone as you stood quietlyYou're making it hard for me All I could do was freeze CHORUSWhat I mean is, all I need is, Just a little emotion’Cause all I see is you not feelingAnd you're giving me nothing niceI tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice I don't think you're knowing how hard this is for meI'm not the type to say sorry constantly So I swallowed my pride and I got on my knees

But still you just stood there as you stared at meYour ego is getting oldHow did you get so cold CHORUS I'm looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorryIt's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy What I got to say to make you let me get away with it this timeI know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me But I'll make a bet that you'll be better to forget about me Even better yet I'll let a little light melt the ice, ice baby!

6. PRETENDOnce in a while I act like a child to feel like a kid againIt gets like a prison in the body I'm living in’Cause everyone's watching and quick to start talking, I'm losing my innocenceWish I were a little girl without the weight of the world CHORUS It would be nice to start over againBefore we were menI'd give, I'd bend, let's play pretend Remember the times we had soda for wine, and we got by on gratitudeThe worst they could do to you was check your attitudeYeah when fights were for fun, we had water in guns, and a place we could call our ownHow we lost hold of home I guess I'll never know CHORUS And when it's the end, Our lives will make senseWe'll love, we'll bend, let's play pretend It's not going to be long before we're all gone with nothing to show for themStop taking lives, come on let's all grow up again 7. THE LAST THING ON YOUR MIND Don't think too hard, if you think it hurts that badDon't talk about it, don't let it get you downIt's only one part, of the story Just let it go, don't let it bring you down now CHORUSSing the last thing on your mindThe last word on your breathI'll be the one to keep you, I’ll keep you at your bestThe last thing on your mind'Cause I don't need your messI'll be the one to keep you one disaster less Straighten up your tie, take the microphoneForget about it, don't let it get you downNow is not the time, and you're not aloneShut up about it, no one can bring you down now CHORUS I'll be okay, I’ll be okay if you…

8. SECOND GO How many times will the clock go aroundHow many times can my hands hit the groundHow many coffins before there's a crownHow far will I fall 'til the alarm sounds How can you love me when I am uglyGuess I can only hope CHORUS Give me a second go, Don't let me go aloneYou saw me at the worst, You caught me falling firstAll I wanted to know, Give me a second go No matter the weather there's never a breakConquer a ladder then slip on a snakeCried 'til my river turned into a lakeAnd I'm wondering now before it's too late How come you save me when I am angryReasons I'll never know CHORUS One to five I'm half alive, six to nine I'm out of lineTen to twelve I'm not myself, by the millionth time...I cry

9. FEBRUARY AIRIf you don't believe meIf you don't like my plansYou musn't tell me How I know your face like the back of my hand We walk the cityI talk to you, (you) understandSo won't you tell meHow I know this place like the back of my hand CHORUSMy arms get coldIn February airPlease don't lose hold of me out there I know you're near meI know you understand Say that you're with meSay you know my face like the back of your hand CHORUS And I know this place like the back of my hand

10. FACE UPIt's late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smileThe place is flying high but right now I want to be lowDon't want to move an inch, let alone a million milesAnd I don't want to go but I know I gotta go I just want to feel alive CHORUSThe times you don't want to wake up'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give upThe sun is always going to rise up You need to get up, gotta keep your head upLook at the people all around youThe way you feel is something everybody goes throughDark out, but you still gotta light up You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend aloneBefore you know it you end up perfectly on your ownThe city's shining bright, but you don't see the lightHow come you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right I just want to feel alright CHORUS I'm looking for more than a little bitI'm gonna have to find my way through itGonna leave a mark, I'm gonna set a sparkI'm coming up off the groundI won't be looking down 11. LIONS!Give me a disaster, give me emergencyStand me at the head of the crusade without a remedyShow me to the shipwreck, show me how your bones shakeAnd when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade, show me how a heart breaks Be steady on your feet No matter the trouble you meet CHORUSLions make you braveGiants give you faithDeath is a charadeYou don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid Find me at the bottom looking at the vulturesStanding in the heart of the disease, following the hard curvesI'm looking for the thunder, I'm looking for the blacknessI'm learning how to get up off my knees and all it takes is practice Be ready on your feetNo matter the trouble you meet CHORUS I'm not the hunter, I'm not the markedJust looking for wisdom in the dark

12. QUIETI'm not yours, and you're not mineBut we can sit and pass the timeNo fighting wars, no ringing chimes We're just feeling fine

This is where we're supposed to beSitting by a broken treeNo tragedy, no poetryJust staring at the sky

CHORUSI could wait a thousand hoursStay the same in sun and showersPick apart a hundred flowersJust to be quietTell me when you feel readyI'm the one, there's not too manyHold my hand to keep me steadyJust to be quietWith you I like it here beside you dearYou're even more than you appearAnd in the clouds my head is clear Every time you say hello Here's my heart, and here's my mouthAnd I can't help if things come out'Cause there are words I want to shoutBut maybe I'll stay low Lyrics Reprinted by Permission.
