OPEN ENDED DREAM

GET AHEAD

STAY BEHIND

LOSE YOUR PLACE

IN THE LINE

 ALWAYS

SOMETHING MORE

THAN YOU

BARGAINED FOR

ITS NOT

 ALWAYS GOOD

AND THERE'S

 ALWAYS MORE

 

COUNTING DAYS

IS NOT THE WAY

TO GO

WASTING TIME

ITS ALL

JUST FOR SHOW

THERE'S SO MUCH

MORE TO LIFE

THAN WE CAN SEE

SO MUCH WE ARE

AND SO MUCH

WE'LL NEVER BE

 

CROSS THE RIVER

TOUCH THE STREAM

SAIL ON A SEA

AN OPEN ENDED DREAM

IT MIGHT START HERE

BUT IT WILL

 NEVER END 

BROKEN HEARTS

SOME THAT

WON'T EVER MEND

HOW IS IT

YOU RELATE

SOME TWISTED FATE

THAT BEFELL YOU

HELD YOU BACK

FROM THE LOVE

THAT ADORED YOU

YOU REALLY NEEDED

LEFT YOU FEELING

A LITTLE DEFEATED

WATCH YOU

DEFLECT

SEE YOU DEFINE

GATHER

 YOUR STRENGTH

ACT LIKE

ITS ALL FINE

 

I SEE YOU WALKING

ALONG THE EDGE

OF MY DREAMS

AND I'VE

 BEEN DREAMING 

TAKE IT

 AS IT COMES

AND LEAVE IT

TWICE AS FAST

IN A WORLD WHERE

NOTHING EVER LASTS

BE AN EXCEPTION

TO THE RULE

A SAGE

RATHER THAN A FOOL

 

OWN THE DAY

 

OWN THE DAY

JUST TO OWN THE DAY

HAVE YOUR SAY

HOLD MORE THAN

A LITTLE SWAY

HAVE GOOD LUCK

COME TO MY DOOR

AND STAY

WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE

ANY OTHER WAY

 

NO HARDSHIPS 

TO GET IN THE WAY

OF LIVING LIFE

FULL ON

NOTHING COMING APART

FALLING DOWN

 

YOUR UNMATCHED BEAUTY 

ALWAYS AROUND

MAKES ANY WORLD

A LITTLE BRIGHTER

ANY LIFE

SO SWEET

MAKE YOU FORGET

ANYTHING THAT

 EVER HURT YOU 

HEALING ME

LIKE A HOLIDAY

JUST TO OWN THE DAY

HAVE IT ALL

GO MY WAY

STAY THE ONE

THAT THRILLS YOUR SOUL

 MAKES YOU WANT TO STAY 

 

FEEL THE MAGIC

RAINING DOWN ON YOU

TIME STOOD STILL

THEN IT FLEW

BEAUTY NEVER NEEDED TIME

NO ITS ALWAYS THERE

NEVER FAR

WISHING TO OWN THE DAY

THAT'S WHERE WE ARE

CLOSE ENOUGH 

TO BE STAR

 

DAYS

 

DAYS

THE DAYS KEEP

PASSING US BY

WE JUST LET THEM

GET AWAY

WITHOUT QUESTION

WITHOUT ANSWERS

WITHOUT LISTENING

WHAT WAS IT

THAT YOU LEARNED

DID IT RAISE CONCERN

MAKE YOU AWARE

OF SOMETHING NEW

 

DID LOVE RISE TO GREET YOU

WAS IT SWEET

WAS IT ALL THAT IT COULD BE

AND IF NOT

WHY NOT

WHILE THERE'S TIME

TO MAKE IT

EVERYTHING IT COULD BE

ALL WE NEEDED 

WAS A CHANCE 

TO GET IT RIGHT

NEVER HEAVY KEEP IT LIGHT

RANDOM

A LITTLE LOOSE

NOT SO TIGHT

 

AND THAT'S THE WAY

TO CATCH A LITTLE MORE DAY

PUT SOME MEANING

BACK IN LIFE

OH YOU WAITED

FOR SO LONG

FOR THESE DAYS

FOR THIS LOVE

YOU SWORE

 YOU'D NEVER LOSE 

ALWAYS YOU

IF I COULD CHOOSE

TO KEEP THESE DAYS

FROM PASSING BY

WITHOUT INTENTION

WITHOUT MEANING

FEEDING OUR SOULS

WONDER

WE'LL COME TO KNOW

DAYS

WILL PASS SLOW

HOURS AND HOURS

PAST THE EASTERN GLOW

LOOMING ON THE HORIZON

TO THE EDGE OF THE MOON

BETTER LATE

THAN TOO SOON

THE DAYS

KEEP PASSING US BY

 

NEW LIFE

DIG A LITTLE DEEPER

I THINK YOU'LL FIND

IF ANYTHING

I'VE BEEN TOO KIND

THE VAGARIES

I TRIED TO FOLLOW

SO MANY LED TO LIES

SADNESS

 DOESN'T ALWAYS CRY

DECEPTION

AND DARKNESS

THE NORM

JUST LIKE ALWAYS

RIGHT BEFORE 

THE STORM 

LIKE A HOWLING WIND

RISING

TRYING TO LEAVE

HEADING OUT

I'VE GOT

TO GET AWAY

FROM THIS LIE

FROM THIS DECEIT

TO FIND SOMEPLACE

FIND SOME PEACE

ANY KIND

OF NEW LIFE

TO BRING RELIEF

A SPIRIT

TOO STRONG TO CRUSH

HOW COULD ANYONE

EVER THINK

THAT'S SOMETHING

THEY COULD EVER DO

 

NEVER REALLY SURE

HOW IT SHOULD GO

WHAT I SHOULD DO

ITS NOT UNTIL

I TRIED TO READ HER

THAT I SAW

RIGHT THROUGH

LIARS AND LAYERS

THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR

THE LENGTHS THAT

SHE WOULD GO

 

THERE'S NO LIFE HERE

I COULD EMBRACE

I HAD TO LEAVE

THE THINGS

 I COULDN'T FACE 

I THINK YOU'LL FIND

THAT I'VE BEEN

MUCH TOO KIND

 

 

DON'T YOU GO SAYING

 

DON'T YOU GO SAYING

WHEN YOU STOP WEARING

YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE

WHEN YOU STAY A SHORT TIME

AND LEAVE

NEVER WEARING OUT

MY WELCOME

YOU'LL NEVER SEE

UNTIL I'M THERE

AND YOU WON'T

SEE ME LEAVE

YOU'LL JUST FEEL IT

WHEN I'M GONE

ANOTHER MYSTERY

TO KEEP YOU COMING BACK

TO MY SIDE

 

chorus 

 

DON'T YOU GO SAYING

ANYTHING IN HASTE

ITS SUCH A WASTE

IF YOU GET IT WRONG

ITS ALREADY TOO LATE

YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT

YOU COULD READ ME

SO WELL

BUT YOU COULDN'T 

ALWAYS TELL

THE TIMES

 YOU GOT IT WRONG

I THOUGHT THE PAIN

WAS PLAIN TO SEE

 ANOTHER PIECE OF ME

WAS GONE

 

SHOULD WE EVER

MAKE A PLAN

PLANS HAVE A WAY

OF GETTING PUSHED ASIDE

SHOULD WE FLY BLIND

GO BACK REWIND

NO THERE ISN'T TIME

STILL YOU CAN'T

TURN AWAY

THE THINGS

YOU CAN'T DENY 

 

SEE THE LOVE

BOTH YOURS AND MINE

I HOPE IT HOLDS

I HOPE ITS FINE

DON'T YOU GO SAYING

ANYTHING IN HASTE

ITS SUCH A WASTE

A BITTER TASTE

IF YOU GET IT WRONG

ITS ALREADY TOO LATE
