Satellite 02:43
Call from the satellite phone I don’t mind the delay As long as I can hear your voice A million miles away Lemme hear your laughter ring We’ll say whatever you need Come back down and stay for a while The world won’t give you what you want But it could still be fine We could’ve found a way If you could’ve found the time There’s a much wider world than I’ve known And planets I’ve never dreamed Just to us, this whole land is new I can’t help but feel that we’re just passing the time here Sunrises to sunsets, just to do it again Waiting to know ourselves better Oh the world won’t give you what you want But it could still be fine We could’ve found a way If you could’ve found the time Give us what we want It could all be fine We could’ve found a way If you could’ve found the time Oooh, ooooh, ooooooooh

Light Again 05:00
Woke up that morning and in everything I could see your eyes looking up I can't explain it, but from what I could tell You were showin' us that someday we'll be fine Stoppin' in to say we'd be alright Ooooooooh oooooooooh Ooooooooh oooooooooh And all the buds swingin' in the wind Are you tellin' us it's time to hold on tight And when the flowers are pushin' through the snow It's you showin' us that someday we will rise Showin' us that someday we will rise again Ooooooooh oooooooooh Ooooooooh oooooooooh We're gonna make it, we don't have to do it on our own We've gotta make it, since you didn't get the time you were owed Ooooooooh oooooooooh Ooooooooh oooooooooh Each time we watch the sunset by the riverside We'll be hopin' that you'll come in with the tide Prayin' that you'll come home with the tide Why can the water go out and come back in? If you'd been half as free, would you have stayed? Would you have stayed? Woke up this morning and all I could feel Was the warmth of your light, shinin' down.

Still Turns 04:23
If I take it slow, would you wait for me? I’m trying to go easy on myself these days And if you feel I’m wasting your time You can let me know But I need to let it spin And just sit while it goes You never wanted to know what went on behind closed doors You had to survive somehow too I wonder if my tip toeing shook the floor Ooh It doesn’t feel good remembering like this But she was a wanting mind behind an okay life I wish it could’ve been easier to understand You woulda helped, I swear If I can stay in one spot until the sun comes up I’ll have been there, I’ll have been there that night Maybe I’ll forget those days sometime soon But she was a wanting mind behind an okay life And you woulda helped I swear, You woulda helped I swear (I think i’m finally growing out of it x13)

Unchanged 03:41
There’s gonna be a war in the streets again Boarding up the doors again Closing down the schools again We don’t have the time to run and hide Go out in the streets show them how to fight We didn’t win this round But we won’t give up won’t give in We don’t have that option We’re living in a modern battleground We don’t know about tomorrow It was never our pick To live in a world of hatred Not everyone was raised the same Not everyone thinks that’s okay We didn’t win this round But we won’t give up won’t give in We don’t have that option We’re living in a modern battleground We don’t know if we’ll see tomorrow Ooh our minds haven’t changed Who we are is not a choice that we made We’re fallin afraid, we’re young and not hopeful Where do we go from here? (trumpet solo) There’s gonna be a war in the streets again Closing down the schools again Boarding up the doors again

Cryptic 04:07
Sometimes I feel like you’re speaking in tongues A language just for us One that you act like I would understand Just you and me’s enough And I don’t know how to read you You’re sewn tight at the seams None of your walls are see through But you think I know what you mean Everything you say is so cryptic You gotta let me in to see Have I been wrong about everything Is it you who can’t understand me Oooh ooooh ooooh Words and words strung one after another It’s all going over my head I swear I’m listening, or I’m trying to But I don’t’ see how we can make this work Everything you say is so cryptic You gotta let me in to see Have I been wrong about everything Can you still not understand me You’re talking and I’m looking Seeing myself in your eyes Thinking of what I know you’ve done Tellin’ myself that’s why Everything you say is so empty I was right about you all along And now that I know your code I’m throwing it away Won’t waste another moment on you (na na na na, na na na ah x8)
