ALWAYS

(Martin Terefe, Nick Whitecross)

I saw a flag wave heavy over me
I saw the Virgin
For a moment, I believed
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved
And to love always

I felt my lips move
But the words they were not mine
I saw you crying
For a moment I could see
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved
And to love always

Yeah, and it's okay
I know what's confusing me
I know what I want to see
I know where I want to be...

Then an angel was flying next to me
No hesitation
For a moment I was free...
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved
And to love always

All I want is to be loved
And to love always, always
I just want to be loved
And to love always

 

 

CRAZY IN LOVE

(Venice)

All those times it happened to me
It wasn't really what I thought it should be
Whatever it was, I never could say it was love
Oh, love

Some kind of change has happened to me
Now it's even better than I thought it could be
I know what it is, I'm ready to say I'm in love
I'm crazy in love
I'm crazy in love

And I fell without even trying
Only this time I'm not lying
I'm flying
I'm crazy in love

I was lost in my own town
I didn't know it til the day I was found
Feels so right, and it may sound crazy
No more messing around
I'm in love
I'm crazy in love
So crazy in love

CHORUS

I was always saying that love was overrated
It all seemed the same to me
I never had enough love to see

CHORUS

 

 

SO BAD

(Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon, Craig Bickhardt, Jack Sundrud)

I tell myself to hold on tight
Any day now it'll be alright
Thought I loved enough for two
But even believing won't make it true

One heart waits
One heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold but not to have
And it hurts so much
To love someone so bad

Am I a fool to wait for you?
I keep pushing for you to pull me through
A little taste of love is a bitter pill
I can't take it, can't make it
All by myself

CHORUS

What can I do to make you want me too
The way that I'm wanting you now?
It's what I don't see when you look at me
I'm trying to change somehow
Please tell me how...

 

 

SHY MOON

(Venice)

Such a shy moon
Such a shy moon
It's a shy moon
Such a shy moon

I can't believe
This has never happened to me
The moon refused to shine
On my lover and me
I cannot believe
Its failure to obey
I see the stars are out
But the moon has gone away

I can see behind the clouds he likes to hide
Just beyond my touch, beyond the reason why
I can see behind the clouds he likes to hide
Away from you, away from me

CHORUS

I can't believe it's true
The moon won't shine on you
Your face, your lips, your hair
But that old moon don't care
About the dark pools in your eyes
About the dark pools in your eyes

The stars will shine for me, I know they'll give their light
But that old moon keeps on hiding
The stars will shine for me, I know they'll give their light
Away for me, so faithfully

CHORUS

Keeps hiding behind the clouds
Won't shine on my lover and me

 

 

HORSE WITH NO NAME

(Dewey Bunnell)

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

CHORUS

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

CHORUS

 

 

THE FAMILY TREE

(Michael Lennon, John Vester, Kipp Lennon, Mark Lennon)

Branches in the wind
Still standing here together
One more storm to weather
We'll get through it yet
So we're gathered here
Holding on to each other
To let go of another one we won't forget

Now as we say goodbye
To one of our own
We may be lonely
But we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
And the tears will flow
May it always comfort us to know
The family tree will always grow

Father down to son, mother to daughter
Thicker than water, we are made of this
From the Earth we rise
To the Earth returning
We'll keep a candle burning
For the ones we'll miss

And when we say goodbye
To one of our own
We may be lonely
But we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
And the tears will flow
May it always comfort us to know
The family tree will always grow
It's stronger than the wind can blow
The family tree will always grow

 

 

STARTING HERE AGAIN

(Mark Lennon, Michael Lennon, Kipp Lennon)

Starting here again
I'm afraid of what I'll find
Starting here again
Please be tender please be kind… yeah

Starting here again
And I'm not sure where to go
Well I'm starting here again
Can you tell me what you know?

'Cause I've lost a love, my only love
Along the road I've taken
I must have missed the signs along the way

Starting here again
Just when something seemed so clear
Starting here again
What I need is what I fear

But I'll try my best to lay to rest
The anger and the sorrow
And find a one-way road that leads to you

Starting here again
Please be tender please be kind
I'm starting here again
Oh the world can be unkind

'Cause I lost a love, my only love
Along the road I've taken
Well I must have missed the signs along the way

Oh but I'll try my best to lay to rest
The anger and the sorrow
And find a one-way road that leads to you

Starting here again
Still afraid of what I'll find
I'm starting here again
Please be tender please be kind… yeah

 

 

BACK TO THE WELL

(Kipp Lennon, Michael Lennon)

I hope I can hope again
That's how it begins
A light in the distance
A scent on the wind

To believe I can believe again
In the grandest of things
In what the past has taken
In what the future brings

How many times can I climb that same hill
Hoping to find what I'm not sure I will?
Thought I dug deep but I'll dig deeper still
To find my way back to the well
How many times can I carry that load
Through the same valley and down the same road?
As many times as my heart will go
Find my way back to the well...back to the well

So I'm trying to try again
In spite of all that's come before
Only a fool or a hero would go back for more

Still I hope I can hope again
'Cause I dont know any other way
Right or wrong that's just how I was born and raised

CHORUS

 

 

MORE OF A MIRACLE

(Michael Lennon, Bruce Gaitsch, Jeff Pennig)

Deep in the dark, the beat of your heart
Breaks through the silence like thunder
Soft on my skin, you breathe out and in
We turn into one and I wonder how
Did I ever have the faith
To know you were waiting?

Think of the stars, diamonds stuck in the sky
And the long lonely light years lying between them
Think of how hard real love was to find
In a world so wide we're even more of a miracle

More than a kiss, the warmth of your lips
Like some ancient fire still burning
More like a dream, there's nothing between
How I feel now and eternity
You're a treasure in my hands
And it defies understanding

CHORUS

Countless waves on endless oceans
Times the earth has turned

CHORUS

Even more even more even more of a miracle
Much more even more even more of a miracle...

 

REWIND

(Mark Lennon, Michael Lennon, Kipp Lennon)

Try as I might
I know it's never gonna be the same
Try as you might
You know you've only got yourself to blame
Why did we fight?
'Cause now we only got a crying game
Where did you run to, my friend?

We were the best of friends
Now you don't answer my call
Yeah, we were the best of friends
Now doesn't it bother, doesn't it bother you at all?

Wish we could
Take a step back and everything would just be fine
Take a step back, just push rewind
Take a step back and everything would just be fine

Try as I might
To make the pieces of the puzzle fit
Try as you might
To never really have to deal with it
You know it doesn't seem right
The way you're quietly denying it
Why did you run from your friend?

You talk about saving lives
And how you have to be so strong
Yeah, you talk about saving lives
But now who's gonna save this, who's gonna save this thing gone wrong?

CHORUS

Remember when it was good?
Nothing was misunderstood
Hanging out all the time
Why can't we just rewind?

 

 

ONE MORE SONG

(Michael Lennon, Kipp Lennon, Mark Lennon, Pat Lennon, Nick Bult, Matt Levitz)

Look around at what we’ve got here
This thing we do together
We can feel the end drawing near
This can’t go on forever

So this is one for the lovers
This is one for the friends
This is one more song until we meet again

This is a club with an open door
Where everyone’s a member
Let’s give all we’ve got, that’s what we came here for
That’s what we will remember

CHORUS

One for the laughter
One for the tears
One for the ones we’ve lost
And everybody here

CHORUS

 

 

EVOLVE

(Michael Lennon, Charlie Vaughn, Kipp Lennon)

I've been staring at the cracks on the wall
At the clock on the cable box
I've been waking up just a little too much lately
I've been freaking out thinking when I should be peacefully sleeping
'Cause this can't go on forever
It's got to get better I know

Haven't I had enough of this and of that
And all the sleepless undertow?
All the shoulda woulda couldas
That never ever really resolve
I'm so tired of being tired and feeling uninspired
When everything moves so slow
I just want to evolve

Now I've been praying
I haven't been against that so much these days
'Cause this can't go on forever
It's got to get better I know

CHORUS

 

 

ONE LESS SOMEONE

(Charlie Vaughn, Michael Lennon, Kipp Lennon)

Here's where I got off all wrong
Taking steps I learned to crawl
The air was singing me your song
I made my way to you through everyone
Like colors chasing the sun down

Then I stumbled to you like a clown
Only to be turned around
Knowing there's one less
Someone for me in this town

On that night out at the inn
I made you dance, you made me spin
The error was singing you my song
Suddenly you're leading me along
Like colors chasing the sun down

Then as soon as you got me alone
You say the words I should have known
Knowing there's one less
Someone for me in this town

Whenever I think something's begun
Seems like there's just one less
Someone for me in this
One less someone for me in this
One less someone for me in this town

 

 

THINGS YOU ARE

(Mark Lennon, Michael Lennon, Kipp Lennon)

I wanna be with someone who wants to be with me
I wanna get with someone who gets me
I wanna feel what I feel when I'm happy
I wanna feel what I feel when I'm not alone

All these things you are and more
Things that I've been aching for
Every time I found a love
Every one was not enough
Time was running out on fate
But good things come to those who wait
Things that I've been aching for
All these things you are and more

I wanna stand with someone who'll stand up to me
I wanna live with someone who can live without me
I wanna see with my eyes wide open
I wanna see what I see when I look at you

CHORUS

Anything seems possible
That's something I'd never say
But then again, I've never seen anything this way

CHORUS

 

 

PAWN SHOP

(Kipp Lennon, Charlie Vaughn, Michael Lennon)

The blue case carried all her someday papers
Like a worn down wedding ring
The sales tag laughs 'cause she only got half
To catch a ride on the Santa Fe

Oh, won't you bring me (home tomorrow)
Anything (left to borrow)
What you need
Maybe I'll find inside

The expectations of a gone generation
That'll never be back again
He stares right past his reflection in the glass
At the ride that might've been

Oh, won't you bring me (home tomorrow)
Anything (left to borrow)
What you need
Is costing you more than what you gave
The more that you try your best to save
All that's left inside

A couple photographs is all she's got left
Of the ride on the Santa Fe
