Gone Away 03:35
Tell me something I don't know Tell me something I don't even care about Tell me things I want to hear Yeah tell me things I want to hear And it's gone away And it's gone away now And it's gone away Close your eyes, don't hold your breath 'Cause this is the last goodbye But still tell me things I want to hear Yeah still tell me things I want to hear And it's gone away And it's gone away now And it's gone away

It was message never read But poor 'ol Tom's already dead He hung a noose around his neck He was tired of just working for his check Happy birthday Tom You mistook your taking as already done And happy birthday Mr. Alvaret Who knew all that giving could be such a threat? And he was not altruist So all this giving made a fit If he had only picked up his phone He would have figured out that he was not alone *Voicemail* "Hey Tom, it's Cindy! I just flew in, I planned to get here for your birthday, but I couldn't I didn't call because I wanted to surprise you, so surprise!" But anyways, call me when you get this (Taken from "The Beginning" by Mike Laney) Happy birthday Tom You mistook your taking as already done And happy birthday Mr. Alvaret Who knew all that giving could be such a threat?

Do you hear me knocking on your window pane? It's 2 am, your heart is out of my domain Oh tonight Did you save yourself before the night got cold? Or did you shiver long like it never gets old? Oh tonight It takes one to make two, but not two to make one If you add it all together pretty soon you'll have none And it's a common misconception that there's nowhere to run but to you But hey, let you your light shine down And hey hey, let your light shine down Have you ever seen two people pulled apart? Miles wide, meters deep, and several stories high Oh tonight Did you ever wish that you could take it back? Every mistake, fallen moment, and regret Oh tonight But hey, let you your light shine down And hey hey, let your light shine down

Headstrong 02:58
The silver lining holds me down I pick my burdens from the ground I saved my thoughts just for one night 'Cause I could not put up the fight 'Cause you're headstrong Take the bullet from the barrel, start it over And 'cause you're headstrong, yeah I wake up to the morning light Shining on my bedroom side I get up slowly on my toes I see misfortune I have chose 'Cause you're headstrong Take the bullet from the barrel, start it over And 'cause you're headstrong, yeah

Say it ain't so Tie me up and cry a river Tell me your lies Let me know that I'm a giver And if you find yourself Then come back home But till then Say it ain't so And if you find a way Then let's just go If you find a way to tell me no If you open up your heart If we're still two worlds apart Just say it ain't so And don't you feel that this is inside you? And if you find a way Then let's just go If you find a way to tell me no If you open up your heart If we're still two worlds apart Just say it ain't so

She was walking in her hometown A place called New York City Pools of water mask the street Keeps her walking so steadily She moves faster than the lightning She moves faster than the breeze She moves faster when she notices The world is settling down with ease A friend was made in Boston Moved out west to the lands of east L.A. She reads the morning paper Like a big shot missing her old subway She moves faster than the lightning She moves faster than the breeze She moves faster when she notices The world is settling down with ease It's only natural for you to feel this way Can't even stop down for a second in the day She moves faster than the lightning She moves faster than the lightning She moves faster than the breeze She moves faster when she notices The world is settling down with ease

And if we walk, and if we walk downtown tonight Would you say? And if we stand, and if we stand as one tonight Would you say? It's not over until the sun goes down It's not over until the sun goes down And if we call, and if we call to arms tonight Would you say? And if we lose, and if we lose at just one fight Would you say? Would you say? It's not over until the sun goes down

There was lights hanging up on the stage But they said, "take me back down again" "Take me back down again" So don't bring me down again 'Cause I'm holding on now And there was something going on in the crowd The lights refused to shine I put them up again I put them back up again So don't bring me down again 'Cause I'm holding on now
