How can we be at odds Stacked on either side? I will call your bluff Just like I did last time At MacLellan Hall After midnight How can you say That I’m wrong When you feel the same way? Deep down You know That you feel the same way It was one in everyone That I found you back then And it’s one in everyone That I will find you again You my sweetest friend Until the sweetest end How can you say That I’m wrong When you feel the same way? Deep down You know That you feel the same way It was one in everyone That I found you back then And it’s one in everyone That I will find you again You my sweetest friend Until the sweetest end

Well I would not have called And I would not have stalled And feel my insides fall But for your voice For your voice Now you’re gone And you’re golden And I trip my way through everyday As more clouds roll in And I look, and I look, and I look For your voice, for your voice, for your voice To calm me down, calm me down, calm me down But I cannot see your face No I cannot see your face So I will search for any trace Of your voice Of your voice Stranded, abandoned Standing at the bottom of this canyon Listening for anything With the beautiful, familiar ring Of your voice, of your voice, of your voice To calm me down, calm me down, calm me down And you’re only on my every thought Yeah, you’re only on my every thought And I look, and I look, and I look For your voice, for your voice, for your voice To calm me down, calm me down, calm me down Calm me down, calm me down, calm me down Calm me down

Hang on to your halo If it holds you up If it hangs you high ‘Cause it might bring in a payload Or it only might let you float Might only let you get by Better days have come my way And better words have been there to say But now the anchors are rising And cutting these waters in two And with all these changes it’s surprising That the water's still blue Help me I’m asking the words That you never heard me say I can’t do this without you But didn’t you want it that way? Tell me you’ve got to sing Tell me that you’ve got to bring Yourself to another place Just don’t let it be your death To push out breath after breath That adds up to waste Don’t let it add up to waste But hang on to your halo If it holds you up If it hangs you high ‘Cause it might bring in a payload Or it only might let you float Might only let you get by Better days have come my way And better words have been there to say But now the anchors are rising And cutting these waters in two And with all these changes it’s surprising That the water's still blue Help me I’m asking the words That you never heard me say I can’t do this without you But didn’t you want it that way?

Can you pay attention to Something that does not apply to you At all? Can’t you even learn a thing? I know you know everything There is to know But won’t you please listen Maybe catch something that you’ve been missing All along I see all that doubt in you You’ve got no room for something new And all my words Just go right through you You’ve got time, space, and theories But no time to stop And hear me Say this Do you really know anything about your little world? Well, whose to know When you close Everything off? It’s too bad you can’t say What makes you feel That way Can you pay attention to Something that does not apply to you At all? Can't you even learn a thing? I know you know everything There is to know But won’t you please listen Maybe catch something that you’ve been missing All along I see all that doubt in you You’ve got no room for nothing new And all my words Just go right through you You’ve got time, space, and theories But no time to stop And hear me Say this

I will write our names on the street With a great big heart in between So it can be read By planes in the sky Flying overhead If I never get to do All the things that I’d like to do It would be alright with me If I could never do them with you I will write our names on the street With a great big heart in between So it can be read By planes in the sky Flying overhead

Do you remember the beginning? Well, let me remind you: “Don’t throw me away Because you’re afraid that I won’t stay I won’t push you too far You’ll have your space so you can be Who you are But I’m trying to push through your fears Of everything that could hurt you And I’m shocked every time By your force fields Don’t hinder yourself Just because you’re too scared to trust Anyone else Just have faith Leave all your guilt behind And let’s find a place Please let me in I know you’re sensitive Behind these four walls That you take with you Everywhere you go I want to tear them down And show you that you don’t need them To be safe, to be free Like you’ve never known Like you’ve never known And you might realize that you don’t want to be alone When will you realize that you don’t want to be alone? Underneath everything that terrifies you, know that you are secure Within all that I am But don’t throw me away Because you’re scared that I won’t stay.”
