Can you take a chance with me
Having faith with what you can’t see
Can you walk away with me honey
Away from what we don’t want to be

I’m going to say forgive me first
I already know what I’m going to do
It’s going to be a very human thing
I’m telling you the things that might come true

I remember how it feels
Building a life around love
We’ve both seen our homes fall apart
We can leave the pieces on the floor
Or see if we can build one more

Falling down from heaven
The promises of we make
Falling like leaves all around
Reminding of the chances we take

I’m never too sure of myself
I never dream of tears to come
But I will let you break my heart
Because that’s where I come from

Do you remember how it feels
Building a life around love
We’ve both know how to live on
We can forever give up on love
Or see if we are what it’s made of

I don't have to remember words
Only the feeling you left behind
I don't have to remember a place
It could have been anywhere
I did not notice the setting sun
Or the reflective mountains
Or the glistening shore
You are the painting
And a frame is of no matter
For the colors of your love
Is why nature bows to you
Saw a picture of a friend and wrote this on the spot.

I don't know if he loves you more
I don't know how he makes you feel
I just know I saw tears in your eyes
From happiness that could not laugh

There was nothing left for you to give
You were everything a woman could be
And now you are gone away with him
How can it be true that there is more?

When we kissed you drew me near
The blood in your hands was mine
Not from a heart that was breaking
But the flesh where you buried your past

You never did belong to me my love
But desire was in the palm of my hand
Our exhaustion was all that was true
I won't ask, I know you remember

Oh London
We weep for you again
Hatred upon your streets
The cancer over which we weep

Oh London
Is it so the next life to be lost
Is less than the virtue inviolate
We preserve no matter the cost

Oh London
Is it so the fears we harbor
Are less than the courage
Of the martyrdom of the free

Oh London
Is it so we walk the streets
With carefree gait and whistle
While evil threatens our peace

Oh London
Is it so we must forever believe
In faith and innocence first
No matter the life we grieve

Oh London
Never surrender
The final refuge of civilization
Rests upon your ****** crown

Don't be so ******* yourself
Don't be so ******* someone else
Give that anger a break
Don't be so hard
Don't be so hard

Don't be so down on yourself
Don't be so down on everyone else
Give that sadness a break
Don't be so down
Don't be so down

It's not your fault
You want to be better
You'll get it together
Tomorrow is not another day
It's the start of a new way

Don't be so brittle
Don't be easy to break
But don't be so hard
Don't be so hard
Don't be so hard to take
Don't be so easy to break

How is it that a memory
Is more real than when you were here
There is nothing for granted
The story has been told
Now you can cry about it without fear

I don't have to look at pictures
I can shake my head now instead
At shooting stars that disappear
You have become every one
An amazement that once filled my bed

The sun rises everyday
It’s so beautiful to see
It’s the point of view
That gets you closer to me

The sun sets everyday
It’s so sad to see it go
Goodbye feels this good
Underneath a sacred glow

I took a hot shower
Then I was ready
For another day
To be the boy
I once knew
Not black and blue
Full of power
Without amenities
And laughter
At high noon

An elder of stained souls
There is no faithless tribe
No commerce for glory
The sun accepts no bribe

Look at it as you walk away
Did you really nod silently
At another person’s hate
Because it gave yours sanity

Take a cold shower
Take the curtain down
You can’t handle it
Passion is not the same
For fools or clowns
Not like a wanted man
Who doesn’t ask permission
The ocean is a ladder
And the rainbow swells
Are all he can see

She wasn’t so good to you
And she became every woman
He can only watch it set for another
Even the sun can break the heart of a man
