These nights go on forever It’s just that time of year I miss our time together Really wish that you were here Waking up to morning showers Never lost for things to say Walking through the woods for hours Swimming naked every day And now I know you’re gone away I dream about you every day When you’re gone I feel it in my bones You’ll come back again I know When days are longer after the snow Til then I’ll just learn to live alone Learn to live alone Well I know it’s temporary Happens like this every year I guess I’ll reset my memory Make believe you were never here I can go wherever I want to See friends and carry on Go to bed when the morning comes through Play guitar all night long Still I can’t get used to this I only think of things I miss I can’t forget the places we have gone You’ll come back again I know When days are longer after the snow Til then I’ll just learn to live alone Learn to live alone Learn to live alone People ask me how I’m feeling They call and come around They can see my world is reeling Everything’s turned upside down Still I can’t get used to this I only think of things I miss I can’t forget the places we have gone You’ll come back again I know When days are longer after the snow Til then I’ll just learn to live alone Learn to live alone Learn to live alone

There we were walking in the middle of the night My arm around your shoulder and your collar pulled tight Wind blowing through us like an echo in a hall Downtown buildings made us feel so small Everywhere, in the air, they were there Lying in my living room staying up all night Flipping over records til they didn’t sound right This city made you hungry, this city made you sad You said you disappointed every lover you had But you were wrong, you were wrong, you should know Lying there beside you and I’m watching your breath So soft and fragile, scares me to death I want to wake you up and tell you one more time You belong, you belong, you belong Oh and you came along like a big burning sun And you left me a hole in my heart And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long Just to know what I’ve known from the start Right from the start We had one more week together, then you went away Wrote me crazy letters that I’ve kept to this day I found your street and walked down there calling out your name You opened up your window and said “man you’ve got no shame” I don’t care, you should know I don’t care It’s all right there before me like it’s happening now I write it all down so I don’t lose it somehow You put a light in me deep in my soul Never fades, never fades, won’t go away Oh and you came along like a big burning sun And you left me a hole in my heart And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long Just to know what I’ve known from the start Right from the start Oh what’s the use in digging around in the past We were like a flashfire, never meant to last Saw you about a year ago In line to see a play You tried to introduce me Couldn't remember my name Maybe you got tongue-tied It’s hard to explain Looked into your eyes to see if you felt the same I don’t know, couldn’t tell, I don’t know It’s all right there before me like it’s happening now I write it all down so I don’t lose it somehow You put a light in me deep in my soul Never fades, never fades, won’t go away Oh and you came along like a big burning sun And you left me a hole in my heart And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long Just to know what I’ve known from the start And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long Just to know what I’ve known from the start Right from the start Right from the start

Last night was a scene They spilled some gasoline Lit a fire on the township line Everybody drove their cars down there Hoping for a real good time We were just walking around The burning ground All covered in cinders and ash It was the highlight of the summer here A midnight firelight bash So long now the time has finally come No more waiting Everything is said and done You wake up one day knowing that you don’t belong So when they ask you where you think you’re going You say anywhere else but home People round here don’t put on airs They keep their feet on the ground I was always a bit much I never had to pay Cause my cousin was the toughest in town I could just fill my mind with places I never went to when I was a kid And as I watched my family work so hard I knew I didn’t want what they did So long now the time has finally come No more waiting Everything is said and done You wake up one day knowing that you don’t belong So when they ask you where you think you’re going You say anywhere else but home They say wait fortunes change But that’s not how it feels My feet are sinking in If I don’t get out now I never will Meet me in the parking lot Down by the LC By the railroad track You know I always loved this town But it never loved me back I can remember my first midnight kiss In the graveyard behind the bar And I thought all my days would be like this But that’s not the way they are So long now the time has finally come No more waiting Everything is said and done You wake up one day knowing that you don’t belong So when they ask you where you think you’re going You say anywhere else but home

You tell me walk away Impossible Impossible Say the world will never change Impossible too It’s a lonely road you’re walking on Keeps you down on your knees Give up on you Unlikely Improbable Impossible I look at pictures of you When you were a kid No one ever made me laugh The way you did Now your darkest nights They run like a bad dream You once had Turn my back on you Unlikely Improbable Impossible Throw the doors And windows wide Chase the ghosts Out of this place What good would living be If I never saw your face Throw the doors And windows wide Chase the ghosts Out of this place What good would living be If I never saw your face I go out searching Through the shattered beams of light Wonder where you’ll lay your head down tonight And I wait here patiently For your heart so open and wild Give up on you Unlikely Improbable Turn my back on you Unlikely Improbable Walk away from you Unlikely Improbable Impossible Impossible Impossible

She cries at everything Like a bird with a broken wing I want to save her But I know she wouldn't want me to Just look where the world has gone We’re standing in the middle of a gathering storm And everybody thinks that their own way is true And as each morning comes I wake up in our bed She turns and smiles at me All day long I watch her in my head Alright it’s a long cold night And I’m just happy to stay inside All the world fades away when I’m with you Out in the desert in a rented car To find some peace you’ve got to go this far I was having trouble ‘cause my mind just wouldn’t clear She looked out the window, said what do you think You wouldn't even know we were on the brink What a gift, thank you for bringing me here And as we drove away, moonlight in our eyes All the clouds they moved away A thousand stars lit up all the skies Alright it’s a long cold night And I’m just happy to stay inside All the world fades away All the world fades away We lose our heads and we go too far But that’s just what lovers are All the world fades away All the world fades away Right in the middle of the dullest day She turned said baby let's run away Who'd even miss us if we left for a year or two So we packed our stuff shut the city down Headed to the coast, a little fishing town Trying to find peace, live like locals do And as each day would come We'd look out on the shore And watch the icefloes run And wonder why we ever needed Wonder why we ever needed more Alright it’s a long cold night And I’m just happy to stay inside All the world fades away All the world fades away Lose our heads and we go too far That’s just what lovers are All the world fades away All the world fades away You can't hide from everything You just can't tell what the future'll bring All the world fades away when I’m with you

He saw her standing Beside the mirrored wall All by herself but not nervous at all Smokey light above her A drink in her hand And a look that he couldn’t quite understand She saw him coming Slow but confident He wasn’t smiling And she wondered what that meant He had a birthmark Just above his lip Broke her heart a little bit And the world stopped And the wind was still And the sun sank down below the hill Just two people getting through Maybe two lives don’t matter But I think they do I think they do They talked a while and he made her laugh She told him everything, walked him through her past Time just flew and before they were done They looked around and everyone was gone She took his hand, led him out behind the bar Raised up her shirt and she showed him her scars These are my testament, they’re always with me I need you to know how this will be And the world stopped And the wind was still And the sun sank down below the hill Just two people getting through Maybe two lives don’t matter But I think they do I think they do He took his finger and he traced the bumpy lines From now on I will treat these like mine Reached out his hand and he wiped away a tear No regrets, no fear They walked on down the road, hands held tight He whispered something that was lost in the night I hope that fortune smiles wherever they go Truth is, we’ll never know And the world stopped And the wind was still And the sun sank down below the hill Just two people getting through Maybe two lives don’t matter But I think they do I think they do I think they do I think they do

I only came up here for a lark A young man killing time Something ‘bout this place Burrowed deep in my heart And somewhere along the way I crossed the line You can throw your head back and howl Find all the joys of a child Now I, I’m too far gone I’m too far round the bend And I’ve tried, to think of going home I can’t go back home again I can’t go home again A friend gave me a job Painting outdoors on the main I said “when the sun goes down do we quit?” He said “you’re in the land Of the midnight sun I trust you’ve heard of it?” So we dipped our brushes in And we worked through the days that never end Now I, I’m too far gone I’m too far round the bend And I’ve tried, to think of going home I can’t go back home again I can’t go home again Everybody here’s come a long long way To keep their demons down Some they even move to the deep dark woods Cause it's just too much for them in town But on those nights when our spirits fly And everybody’s singing to the sky I know, well I’m too far gone I’m too far round the bend And I’ve tried, to think of going home I can’t go back home again I can’t go home again This can be a rough town And tempers flare They rise up and then they’re gone But there’s gods in the mountains here And angels in the air Things you can always count on You can walk down these dusty roads But you can’t walk by without saying hello Now I, well I’m too far gone I’m too far round the bend And I’ve tried, to think of going home I can’t go back home again I can’t go home again Oh now I, I’m too far gone I’m too far round the bend And I’ve tried, to think of going home I can’t go back home again Can’t go home again No I can’t go home again

Say goodbye We do it all the time now Angry words that we say at night Disappear in the morning light Stars above Are they looking down on us Guiding us through the darkest night Weaving in and out Of wrong and right Torn I’m not torn I know the road is long And I’m not torn Used to be You walked with eyes wide open More and more These days I find First sign of trouble And you run and hide Torn I’m not torn I know the road is long And I’m not torn You know I can lose my head And I don’t even see the clouds Maybe the darkness is coming But I’m still waiting I’m still waiting Cold as ice That’s how the world Seems sometimes Changes come No matter what you do Leaves you nothing You can hold on to Close your eyes Fall back to the world inside you You don’t like All the things you see But you’re just one step From where you want to be Torn I’m not torn I know the road is long But I’m not torn I’m not torn I know the road is long Yes it goes on and on I know the road is long But I’m not torn

I’m wondering Stop wondering why Could this be true Yes it is I’m waking up We’ve been waiting for years It’s such a beautiful sight Well I can’t see Just open your eyes Maybe I’m scared Don’t you be There’s so much It’s a lot to take in I don’t know where to begin All the stars above us Are shining on down Everyday angels They keep flying all around Give me one more day No you’ve had enough time But I could fall Yes it’s true You know what I need A little help from your friends Yes I believe that will do A little help from your friends There’s the sunrise Happens every day I don’t recall It passed you by I missed so much You’ve been hiding away Well look at that fire in the sky All the stars above us Are shining on down Everyday angels And they lift us off the ground I’m wondering Stop wondering why Could this be true You know it is I’m waking up Oh well it’s about time It’s such a beautiful sight Oh such a beautiful sight It’s such a beautiful sight Oh I’m waking up

How did you know it was me that was crying Behind the locked door I don't cry very much, in fact not at all But I know what I was crying for Lately the walls of my world have been crumbling Letting in all of my blues Oh, I know I'll get through it I just gotta hear some good news Well, I guess that we're getting all we deserve We've been careless for too many days When I see all my brothers and sisters together I know that that's worthy of praise History has its own way of revealing The moment that we lit the fuse Oh, I guess we'll get through it We just gotta hear some good news Oh, why am I blinded again? So much I don't understand I wake up dreaming at night Watching the lives that I'm holding Slip through my hands Oh, why am I blinded again? So much I don't understand I wake up dreaming at night Watching the lives that I'm holding Slip through my hands Oh, the anger is rising there's effigies burned There's damage that surely will last At this moment in time, well I hope we have learned Not to slip back to ways of the past There's a light that keeps shining so deep in our hearts And it's there any time that we choose Oh, I know we'll get through it, we just gotta hear Oh, I know we'll get through it, we just gotta hear Oh, I know we'll get through it, we just gotta hear some good news

He wakes up with The same song in his head And he wonders When this feeling will end No cause and no defense No point looking at the time he spent Life brings you highs and lows And that’s the way it goes He turns his face to the Northern sky Says a little prayer Lets time go by He’s always been rolling He’s always been holding it down Outside his door The great unknown So he walks out now Not caring where he’s going Cuts through the summer air Reflections of her everywhere Pictures they flood his brain But he can’t go there again He turns his face to the Northern sky Says a little prayer Lets time go by He’s always been rolling He’s always been holding it No point listening To what the fortunes say It tests your faith Gets blown away Always been rolling He’s always been holding it down In time he comes to realize That only in his dreams Does he see her eyes Drives his car To an East Coast beach Moon hangs low Just out of reach Somehow he’s always known He’d up here alone He turns his face to the Northern sky Says a little prayer Lets time go by He’s always been rolling He’s always been holding it No point listening To what the fortunes say It tests your faith Gets blown away Always been rolling He’s always been holding it down Holding it down

Everything has it’s time No season lasts forever So I’m told But if I look far ahead I can see our lives together That’s why I’m holding on Come sit beside me And we’ll talk til dawn I don’t care how many times We lose our way You should know That as the years have gone My love for you has always stayed the same Always will be so You’re going to say goodbye to me You’re going to say goodbye to me So many days went by I guess I never saw it coming That’s not really true You and I had the time But we always kept on running Cause that’s just what we do Let’s find the crowded streets That we once walked on Watch the moonlight on the St. Charles Bridge Sit down in city squares We’ve long forgotten Oh remember all the lives we’ve lived Always will be true You’re going to say goodbye to me You’re going to say goodbye to me So many nights I lie awake Wonder where you are Oh my spirit’s sinking Falling like a shooting star I’m not looking back with blame There were cracks right from the start You go to live your life now Oh my heart You’re going to say goodbye to me You’re going to say goodbye to me Let’s find the crowded streets That we once walked on Watch the moonlight on the St. Charles Bridge Mountain meadows that we have lay down in Fireflies floating in the wind Always will be true You’re going to say goodbye to me You’re going to say goodbye to me Our first apartment And we’re walking through the door Oh we had nothing yet Sleeping on the floor That summer it was killer But it didn’t seem so hard Meeting up at midnight Oh my heart You’re going to say goodbye to me Oh my heart You’re going to say goodbye to me
