1.The Space Between
There's something strange going on in my head
That says if I were to get in a car right now
North Carolina is where I would end
And to your doorstep I would be bound.
To whisper the words that I've always wanted to say,
And watch as the sun rips this blue sky away
'Cause the colors are always changing
So stare up at the clouds
And at least you know
You're always looking up
So Casey can you remember (do you remember)
Sitting by my side
On the bank of the Delaware River
And talking about life
Don't forget about the blue sky, sunrise, and all the space
between
It's amazing how a girl like you could affect a guy like me
And all the pictures, memories and all the times we had
Do you think that some things are better left unsaid?
And we'd stay inside just to watch the time go by
And sleep the whole day till the night
With everything you said
I'm sure you've got some place that you'd probably rather be
I hope you're singing this song
And thinking about me
Carolina was waiting for you
It's what you always wanted
Don't forget about the blue sky, sunrise, and all the space
between
It's amazing how a girl like you could affect a guy like me
And all the pictures, memories and all the times we had
Do you think that some things are better left unsaid?
And we run away
'Cause the sky looks different when you're in another state
It's everything I've always wanted
And everything I've worked so hard for
Well is it in me
To put the bottle down?
Well is it in me
To put the bottle down?
Well is it in me
(Blue sky, sunrise, and all the space between)
To put the bottle down?
(It's amazing how a girl like you can affect a guy like me)
Well is it in me
(And all the pictures, memories and all the times we had)
To put the bottle down?
(Do you think that some things are better left unsaid?)
Is it in me?
Is it in me?
2.Que Sera Sera
Well I can still smell the Portland air
And it makes me sick to my stomach
To think of what you've become
These tall evergreens
And the lights of your city
Should have warned me long ago
That I fell way too fast
If mountains could talk
This one would share its secrets with me
Of what it has seen
Of you and the way you move
So now that I'm listening
I've got my ear to the wall and my feet are touching the ground
I'm trying not to give myself away
But my heart is beating way too loud
And that got my thinking
One may never be as happy as one seems
So I'll go ahead and give myself away
Cause this dream is taking all of me
You won't talk
And it remained
Just you and I overlooking these Portland lights
From the top of a mountain
In a park where you call home
From the top of a mountain
In a park where you call home
If mountains could talk
This one would share its secrets with me
Of what it has seen
Of you and the way you move
So now that I'm listening
I've got my ear to the wall and my feet are touching the ground
I'm trying not to give myself away
But my heart is beating way too loud
And that got my thinking
One may never be as happy as one seems
So I'll go ahead and give myself away
Cause this dream is taking all of me
Things got a little crazy for me for that week
Where I drank myself stupid to the point where I couldn't even
speak
It's beautiful here, I don't ever want to leave
Then I thought about the unfortunate side effect
Of me being me
And I remembered
Back where this leads
Back to the park where you call home
And me realizing
What back then
I should have known
I'd hate what you'd become
Well I can still smell that Portland air
So now that I'm listening
I've got my ear to the wall and my feet are touching the ground
I'm trying not to give myself away
But my heart is beating way too loud
And that got my thinking
One may never be as happy as one seems
So I'll go ahead and give myself away
Cause this dream is taking all of me
3.What Are You Doing, Man? That's Weird!
It's amazing how quick
We could turn an argument
Into a fight for what is right
When the conversation dies
I will rip my tongue out
Just to show how much I don't want you
To quit this anymore
Cause lately it's the same again
As I'm writing to unfold
Just keep turning those pages
There's still stories to be told
But don't
Don't let me turn into the person i once hated
All I wanted was to make it
And swing life away
Save me from myself
Cause I don't know who to be
I'm trapped inside a world of all this cold concrete
Walking through this town
You'll find me staring at the sky
This city, my city, it burns tonight
Everything you ever wanted
Well it's always by your side
Let it haunt you, let it haunt you
Let it keep you up at night
Everything you ever needed
Well it's always by your side
Let it haunt you, let it haunt you
Let it keep you up at night
Save me from myself
Cause I don't know who to be
I'm trapped inside a world of all this cold concrete
Walking through this town
You'll find me staring at the sky
This city, my city, it burns tonight
4.Tenth Street
There's a place down on Tenth Street
Where I can go
To rest my head
As I sit
By the window
The city sleeps
I am home
It's another day I'll spend forgiving
And another night I wish I could get back
So if you'll sit and stay and talk with me awhile
I'll tell you to hold on
To this scene
As it passes us by
Cause all of the days I wished for
Something just to begin
Standing out
On top as the Philadelphia skyline caves in
Looking out from above
I'll tell you what I really do love
I'll let you know
When I'm coming home
(When I'm coming home)
Cause every little thing that you said
I wish you could take back
Maybe the next time remember
Come December I won't be home
Cause I will be out on the road
To let you know
Maybe one day
We can live with this and grow
Cause you know
Philadelphia makes me feel home
We can all relate to misunderstandings
We're understanding now
With all the time it took for us to figure it out
Why can't you see?
All of the days I wished for
Something just to begin
Standing out
On top as the Philadelphia skyline caves in
Looking out, from above
I'll tell you what I really do love
I'll let you know
Philadelphia makes me feel home
Every little thing that you said
I wish you could take back
Maybe the next time remember
Come December I won't be home
5.The Closest I Am To Living Life On The Edge
Let's build a rocket to the moon
Just you and I
We could start a whole new world up there
Leave our past behind
Behind
Sometimes I can't believe my eyes
I want to stare up
And get lost in the city lights
Because I've had enough and this is the end
And now I understand
That a heart breaks it does not bend
Someone please help me out
I never meant to take this so far
Now I've fallen way too hard
Take a long step back to
To The days when I was younger
Decisions never mattered all this much
It's an empty handed promise
From my heart to my conscience
That says one day I will make this count
(The best that I know how)
The closest that I am to living life on the edge
Is packing all my bags, and heading off with my best friends
Someone please help me out
I never meant to take this so far
Now I've fallen way too hard
Take a long step back
To The days when I was younger
Decisions never mattered all this much
So let it all go
You have no worries now
(I've made my decision)
With the sun in your face you're never beneath the clouds
(I'm Lifting)
And all the along the way I found you wishing on those clouds to
move away
Grab my hand
Let's kiss the sun goodbye
I know the way to go it's never as easy as it may seem
The takeoffs the landings, our rockets transcending
Ordinary, what's ordinary?
(To the moon)
The takeoffs the landings, our rockets transcending
Ordinary, what's ordinary?
(To the moon)
6.Will We Ever Know How?
Once all I wanted was this feeling
To stay when I'd find out it's not just a phase.
I just can't see things working out the way I planned them in my
head,
So forget it, I'm running and I'm never looking back.
All that I want is something to believe in
I can't take much more of
Waiting for me to see what time brings
Your relief it evens the score up
One thing I know, I'll be fine
This is just the story of my life
Some days it takes a little time to forget how
Hard we concentrated on the end,
But I still can't see things working out the way I planned them
in my head,
So forget it, I'm running and I'm never looking back.
You know this all could be
A possibility.
All that I want is something to believe in
I can't take much more of
Waiting for me to see what time brings
Your relief it evens the score up
One thing I know, I'll be fine
This is just the story of my life
Cause I look up and watch
And see the stars up above
I know that it's wrong
To wish upon the shooting ones
Cause they burn out so quick,
Too fast for me to get my wish,
I guess they are just there for hoping.
We're all hoping.
We're all hoping.
This could be
A possibility
(Will this all work out, how will we ever know?)
This could be
A possibility
This could be
A possibility
This could be
This could be
7.Eagle Mount Drive
You think that you are so predictable
I've got some news for you
These words don't seem to leave my mind
As easily as yours do
Well I've go something inside that wont let me give up again
So get up and get into me cause you know you want to
It's so damn hard to believe in the things that matter most
What you just can't seem
To understand
Is you've got me as your friend
Well I fold this hand
That I've been playing for all these years
So pop that pill
And put another fake smile on your face
Just cause the sun rises tomorrow
Doesn't mean you'll make it through today
The days may seem to go slow
But before you learn to run
You need to get on your feet walk away
So get up and into me cause you know you want to
It's so damn hard to believe in the things that matter most
What you just can't seem
To understand
Is you've got me as your friend
I fold this hand that I've been playing all these years
Well tomorrow is burning bright
So get outside and just enjoy the daylight
Its time you realize growing up is moving on
So run away
Get up and get into me cause you know you want to
It's so damn hard to believe in the things that matter most
What you can't seem
To understand
Is you've got me as your friend
I fold this hand that I've been playing all these years
That I've been playing for all these years
8.Three Thousand Miles
Something tells me you've been missing out
On all the places and towns we always used to go,
And so I'm stuck here to figure now,
The chance we had made you pack your bags.
You're three thousand miles
From the place you once called home.
So much different,
You're getting distant
And now I'm the only one whose all alone.
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head.
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you,
Yeah, I'd pick you instead.
So drink down the bottle and just go to bed,
This whole situation is going right over your head.
You're out of your body, why don't you come to mine?
'Cause right now what it takes to fall,
Is what it takes to climb.
You're three thousand miles
From the place you once called home.
So much different,
You're getting distant
And now I'm the only one who's all alone.
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head.
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you, yeah,
I'd pick you instead.
So break away from the simple things in life,
'Cause when the moon comes out
There is no doubt that it is always by your side.
I never thought you could be so happy with a ticket in your
hand,
And a plane ride back to home.
I guess for now I'll have to settle for the fact
That what we could have been is what I'll never know.
You're three thousand miles
From the place you once called home.
So much different,
You're getting distant
And now I'm the only one who's all alone.
I'm writing post cards to let you know how much I care,
Saying, 'The only thing that gets me by is when I close my eyes
and pretend you're there.'
9.Backs Against The Wall
Born in a generation, bright lies but no inspiration,
Couldn't tell you what you need to believe,
Throw away, your integrity
The radios on and you listen
The T.V.'s on and you'll watch
So look, mark it, why don't you buy in
There has to be some way to make it stop
By now, you should've figure out
That everything you believe
It was overconfident
So take my hand and let me lead you
To where we feel...
With our backs against the wall and maybe our shadows aren't
that tall
Is this what it takes to make you think
I can't believe it
Without backs against the wall
And maybe our shadows aren't that tall
Is this what it takes to make you think
I can't believe it....
10.Away We Go
And away we go
And I hope that you know
That one day, we will all be alone
Holding on to broken hearts
Memories are what's left of us
You're trying too hard to be my friend
And I'm placing all our pictures
In these broken frames to remind me never fall in love again
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever
happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and
forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And away we go
And I hope that you know
That one day, we will all be alone
Maybe now I'll figure out
That life is one big question how am I supposed to grow
When I'm stuck inside this state well I'll never know
You're falling faster than the shooting star you wished your
body on
(Your body on)
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever
happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and
forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And I never felt so high as my back is to the ground
And we're staring at the stars making faces at the clouds
But all those days are gone the memories put to rest
And if you want to see my youth your gonna have to dig deep in
my chest
I'm sorry won't cut it for the rest of your life
Get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever
happened to you
Forget my name.... Forget my face ...
So I never have to deal with you again
