I'm gonna burn your house down And leave you standing in the ruins I'm gonna burn your house down And leave you staring at a brand new moon You will see Nothing here is real There's nothing you should fear There's no one you can't be And you'll know there's nothing you don't know Nothing you don't own And nowhere you can't go I'm gonna cut your heart out And leave you in a lonely room I'm gonna cut your heart out Then you'll know you miss your one true jewel You will start to value what you are You'll risk the loss of not living for your love In dusk and dawn we will be reborn In everything we are In everywhere we roam In the forest, in the wasteland On the ocean or in the valley On a warm beach In the mountains Across the wide fields Or in the desert

Should I burn the edges Of every kind love letter That I wrote to you Should I place small flowers And expensive vases In every room What should I do To mean more to you Should I buy your ring With more than diamonds Maybe emeralds too Should I steal a star Maybe the whole universe And bring it home for you What should I do To mean more to you I believe in our future But I believe in love right now I believe you'll soon let go Of these fairy tales you have I believe in your kindness And I believe you soon will know That childhood has passed you by I am standing by your side You don't have to fear or cry anymore I would drown the oceans Hold back raging waters That would never do Shall I drive a Jaguar Wear expensive clothes And move to Hollywood What should I do To mean more to you

We spent our days at Atashari River Listening to the railway trains pass by The days stretched out forever and forever In summer afternoons or winter skies Were we just a grace of age? Was that all we were? Everything was easy We staked our claim at Atashari River We built a bridge and we built ourselves a home We took our time and pieced it all together You could never wash away memories this strong Were we just a great mistake? Was that all we were? Everything was easy Now nothing can replace All those precious days Were we destined for mistakes? Was that all we were?

You took me in your house of cards I took a look and swept it to the floor You told me that your father left when you were eight I said I'd seen your mom Girl, there's a good reason For why you've always felt alone In this world, this cruel world You've still got a milk and honey soul You took your car to a charity They chopped it up and sent you back a bill Your best friend took your first true love And she's your best friend still Girl, there's a good reason For why you've always felt alone In this world, this cruel world You've still got a milk and honey soul You say you're still a virgin girl Another thing which makes me want you more Another thing to steal from you Beside the jewelry in your drawer Girl, there's a good reason For why you've always felt alone In this world, this cruel world You've still got a milk and honey soul

Come on down to the Trinity Tavern All your friends will be waiting there Have a drink at the Trinity Tavern Drop a quarter in the jukebox and we'll share this dance If you need a moment to rest Like we all do If you need a place to belong Like we all do Then come on down Come on down to the Gramercy Garden Grab a park bench and watch the people there There's always room at the Gramercy Garden Beneath the fountains and the statutes and the flowerbeds If you need a moment to rest Like we all do If you need a place to belong Like we all do Then come on down

Honesty 04:20
Honesty held out her hand Her kindness was a mystery Prepared to take away all my fears Prepared to lift a weight off me But I did not believe her I wasn't strong or brave When honesty held out her hand I wish I had grabbed it then Honesty held out her hand Her face flush with sincerity Prepared to take away all my fears Prepared to lift a weight off me But I did not believe her I hadn't heard her name Honesty held out her hand Then she turned away
7.
By Your Side 02:55
I don't have to be lonesome anymore Now that you're here by my side I don't have to sleep in the tall grass anymore Now that you're here by my side You've done me good You said you would I am born renewed
8.
I Need You 03:08
Standing on the front porch in the cold A place we've stood so many nights before Your silence grips my heart with sadness as strong as a war I know I've done you wrong A memory as urgent as a flood A memory that has driven us apart With each breath I taste regret inside my throat You don't need me no more I need you Reaching for your shoulder Your head turns This rising guilt still haunts me like a curse Your eyes start crying when you whisper these few words You don't think you'll return I need you And when the moonlight creeps Over these city streets All we used to dream came true Long walks side by side A cafe's brilliant lights I wish I had said goodbye And saved myself from ruin I need you
9.
An Ending 03:33
Are we coming to an end again Have the years blown past us like the wind When we don't fight and we don't pretend It seems we're coming to an end again Are we coming to an end once more Will we have the strength we had before All the places that we've never been Are we coming to an end again I believe I'll still believe in you Are we coming to a resting place What are the letters we want in our graves All the places that we've never been Are we coming to an end again I believe I'll still believe in you

St. Cecilia 05:33
I've been accused of stealing Gifts which can't be measured And I've served time for treason of rhyme Now allegiance sounds much better With my pedal floored on south 304 I've sent my woman's bloodlines revving But until tonight when I stumbled inside I've never been in need of heaven St. Cecilia Won't you cover me Wrap your arms around me tight Like your rosary Is it so wrong that I want to believe We live on Carved in stone Baptised headlong into wine and song As of yet, I'm not recovered And good advice may suit you just fine But give me hot nights in summer When flying too high in unfriendly skies Yielded stories not yet forgotten Until tonight when your smile met mine And I found me another heaven So tonight as I burn freedom bridges down With no regard for its passing water It's because it never seemed right To watch an honest man die With his arms outstretched for the border And if I march this world With my flag unfurled Standing tall with my conviction Then I will be alright Because I've got you by my side And that is one step closer to heaven
