Echo
03:37

I can see him, but I can’t see you
You’re too far away and I can hear an echo
Telling me why to wait,
Telling me why to stay,
But I can hear an echo coming from the other way
Telling me to go away,
Telling me to run, to hide, to flee
To go away and leave this all behind
And leave you behind
‘Cause I can hear an echo coming from both sides,
I can hear an echo, but I don’t know why
I can hear an echo coming from both sides
I can hear an echo,
But I can’t decide
I can’t decide.
Well I can hear him, but I can’t hear you
You’re too far away and he comes to me like an echo
Telling me all the things you know I want to hear,
But I can hear an echo coming from the other way
Telling me to stay
To stay with you, to see this through,
I still love you, oh
But, I can hear an echo coming from both sides,
I can hear an echo, but I don’t know why
I can hear an echo coming from both sides
I can hear an echo,
But I can’t decide
I can’t decide.
I try to breathe in, breathe out, it’s too loud
If I stop listening maybe I can drown it out
But nothing seems to stop the sound.
‘Cause I can hear an echo coming from both sides,
I can hear an echo
I can hear an echo coming from both sides,
I can hear an echo
I can hear an echo, an echo, an echo
I can hear an echo, an echo, an echo
I can hear an echo

Change
04:40
|

I heard you were back
I heard that you’ve changed
But I had to see it for myself
Before it’s late
When you left here you said
That you’d never come back
That you couldn’t stay, couldn’t try, couldn’t fight
For us
And I kept on waiting and waiting and waiting for you to come back
And I kept on thinking and thinking and thinking what I should have said.
Nothing can change the way I feel about you.
No passing time can heal over these wounds.
I think back to before
Left a crack in the door
Just in case you turned around and changed your mind
Wanting more
Now I’m standing here,
Trying to disappear
As your eyes set down on my face
Holding me there
And I keep on waiting and waiting and waiting for you to step back
I keep on thinking and thinking and thinking of how I should react.
Nothing can change the way I feel about you.
No passing time can heal over these wounds.
Nothing can change the way I feel about you.
No passing time can heal over these wounds.
Nothing can change,
Even when you’re here
Even when you’re close
Nothing can change even if you say you never meant to go.
Nothing can change the way I feel about you.
No passing time can heal over these wounds.
Nothing can change the way I feel about you.
No passing time can heal over these wounds.

The Dark
03:37
|

This here is the dark
And I’m waiting for a light to spark.
This here is getting hard,
I try to leave, but I can’t.
And I can’t feel a way out
And I can’t breathe, take me out
'Cause I keep hoping that things, they will change
But everyday it feels the same
This here’s me coming undone,
And I’m waiting for the thoughts to come.
This here is how it goes,
I try to hide, but my heart it knows
That I can’t feel a way out
And I can’t breathe, take me out
'Cause I keep, hoping that things, they will change
But everyday it feels the same
I look up to the sky,
Nothing is there, I’m losing time
The moon and the stars won’t shine for me,
So the dark is all I see
And I can’t feel a way out
And I can’t breathe, take me out
'Cause I keep hoping that things, they will change
But everyday it feels the same

Home
03:13
|

Take me where the flowers grow,
Where we can grow old.
Take me somewhere we won’t know,
What the future holds,
And we’ll call it home.
I’ll hold pictures as you put fixtures in place,
We’ll hang them on our walls.
I’ll sing some songs and maybe you’ll sing along
And we’ll feel like we belong
And we’ll call it home
And we’ll call it home
Take me,
Where your heart is
Where your love is
And I’ll call it home
Take me,
Where you are weakest
Where you’ll need me
And I’ll call it home
In the morning I’ll press the snooze a while
and you will turn over and smile and wait
For my kiss upon your cheek
I’ll put the kettle on and you’ll turn the heating on and we’ll fall back to sleep
Something in your eyes, it tells me that this is all I need
and there’s nowhere else to be
Suddenly your hands are holding me closer than before,
We’re heading to the door.
And we’ll call it home
And we’ll call it home
And we’ll call it home

Burning Love
03:48
|
|||
First night that we met,
You lit a fire on my bed.
And it burned and it burned until the morning light.
Then it started growing,
And then it started showing,
This burning, burning, burning love of ours.
Hold on to your heart,
Hold on to the fire,
Hold on, hold on…
And never let it go.
Later with the heat,
We fused together like animals in heat.
I wonder whether we knew this was the start of our defeat.
Hold on to your heart,
Hold on to the fire,
Hold on, hold on…
And never let it go.
But a storm is brewing,
And the rain is pouring,
And the fire is slowly dying.
And the fire is getting older,
While our love is getting colder.
And we’re burning out, this burning love of ours.
Hold on to your heart,
Hold on to the fire,
Hold on, hold on…
And put it out.
