1.Let Love In(Album Version)


2.Dizzy(Album Version)

You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome delirious
You're nothing that you seem

I'm drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything I need

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
And tear at your defenses
Till there's nothing there but me

You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are


3.Here Is Gone(Album Version)


4.Slide(Album Version)

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it coming

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah we're gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
If there's something I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Mmm, slide

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May, do you wanna get married
Or run away

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh May, put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May do you wanna get married
Or run away

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything
Yeah, slide

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Yeah, slide
Little pieces of the nothing that fall

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Yeah, slide
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Yeah, slide

Oh Oh Oh slide

Just slide between the sheets of all the beds you never knew
Yeah slide

Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
And we'll run away, run away, run away


And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans that never knew their names
We don't belong to no one, that's a shame
But if you could hide beside me maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast and now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell 'em your name

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
I won't tell 'em your name


6.Stay With You(Album Version)


7.Before It's Too Late(Album Version)

I wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
and I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

and hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

and the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you don't live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real till it's gone

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

So live like you mean it
Love till you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real till it's gone

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life


8.Broadway(Album Version)

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years on all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it of your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten around here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues
When you're sober up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell
On the losers day parade
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they been missin' round here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You see you'd love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
'Cause you're livin' in a world
That you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' of a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin' round here, round here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die


10.Better Days(Album Version)

And you asked me what I want this year
And I'll try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
In designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I need someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

And the one poor child who saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again


11.Big Machine(Album Version)

Ecstasy is all you need
Livin' in the big machine now
Oh, you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothin's real and nothin' lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care

Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here, but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waitin'
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God, it's good to be alive

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waitin' for
My heart is reelin'
I'm blind and waitin' for you

Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I'll begin
And I'll, I'll be waitin'
Livin' like a house on fire
What's you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel

Now this angry little girl
Drownin' in this petty world
And I'm, who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waitin' for
My heart is reelin'
I'm blind and waitin' for you

I'm blind and waitin' for you
I'm blind and waitin' for you
And I can't believe it's comin' true
God, it's good to be alive
I'm still here an' waitin' for you
And I can't believe it's comin' true
I'm blind and waitin' for you


12.Black Balloon (Album Version)

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
You're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah, yeah

I'm comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are we someone's?

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall hey
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on down to lead you home and
All because I'm, all because I'm
I'll become
You became to me


13.Sympathy(Album Version)

Stranger than your sympathy,
And this is my apology
I Kill myself from the inside out,
And all my fears have pushed you out.
And I wished for things that I don't need.
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free.
It's all I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees.
Oh yeah, everything's all wrong , yeah.
Everything's all wrong, yeah.
who the hell did I think I was?

And stranger than your sympathy.
I take these things so I don't feel.
I kill myself from the inside out,
And now my head's been filled with doubt.

And it's hard to lead the life you choose,
All I wanted
When all your luck's run out on you.
All I wanted
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true.
Oh yeah, it's easy to forget, yeah.
And you choke on the regrets, yeah.
who the hell did I think I was?

And stranger than your sympathy,
And all these thoughts you stole from me.
And I'm not sure where I belong.
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was.
And I wouldn't be the one
To kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the talking,
And all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
mm Yeah.
Stranger than your sympathy.
Stranger than your sympathy


14.Iris(Album Version)

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
