1. OPEN DOORS OPEN EYES

Sleeping somewhere else tonight
Stop the sound before it starts to fight you
Ill wake up to your smile again tomorrow

Read between the lines this time
Darkness seems to fight the lines of
Light between our doors we hold so tight

So open the doors and let it all out
Tell all the neighbors what this is about
Oh, its me and you and were making it on our own

Left and right took its toll tonight
Which way to move theres no telling whos right or wrong
And in this case I think were right

Weve changed our course so many times
No reason describes but they continue to try
To mark a brand we wont accept as ours

So open the doors and let it all out
Tell all the neighbors what this is about
Oh, its me and you and were making it on our own


2. TAKING BACK ROADS

We take directions for faces we don't see
The world is beneath us and we both know this isn't forever
So we keep our guards up
There's noone to trust here, so we move on

This is a lesson, I'll take the interstate
We both know there's a simpler state of mind, that waits for us in time
This is the last time I'll make the same mistake
Which way's back?
I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time

The tables are turning but no one is listening, and if we are smart then we'll move fast
Cause we are all driving, we're all moving quickly
We're trying to slow down before things go too far

This is the last time I'll take the interstate
We both know there's a simpler state of mind, that waits for us in time
This is the last time I'll make the same mistake
Which way's back?
I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time

Taking back roads, to where God only knows
We take our time and get there when we can
We're taking back roads, to where God only knows
Write this down so we don't forget

And this is the last time I'll take the interstate
And we both know there's a simpler state of mind, in time
And this is the last time I'll make the same mistake
Which way's back?
I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time


3. WHEN I'M wITH YOU

Tonight could be just the beginning, and I should be smiling inside
So I`ll write a song that brings out the southern summers, just to share in saving grace

And if I could find the words to say that this won`t hurt, I promise you that
And if you feel me leave, I`m still here; I see things all too clear, when I`m with you

And picking up where we left off the last time, we sailed across the sea was calm
Setting sail and holding on the best we can carry, and I`ll count this one as a victory

If I could find the words to say that this won`t hurt, I promise you that
And if you feel me leave, I`m still here; I see things all too clear, when I`m with you
And if I could find the words to say that this won`t hurt, I promise you that
And if you feel me leave, I`m still here; I see things all too clear when I`m with you (x4)


4. STARTING ALL OVER

Stale as the air that we breathe
There are lines being crossed that no one can see
Are we just climbing or are we just waiting to fall

Starting all over, can we handle that?
We both know that we are the same...
The roads we don't know them,
We've got no one else to blame.

This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right.
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right

So save a place there for me.
I'll be back when I can find time to leave
Is this the ending?
Is this the way that we're made?

Starting all over, can we handle that?
We both know that we are the same...
The roads we don't know them,
We've got no one else to blame.

This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right.
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right.

Starting all over, can we handle that?
We both know that we are the same...
The roads we don't know them,
We've got no one else to blame.

This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right.
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right.

This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right.
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning...
This isn't turning out right


5. THE LAST ONES STANDING

One in a million
Pressing on to figure out
The meaning of remnants from a fading trend

So what makes a man if another holds his heart?
I'll bet it's the remnants
That make us who we are

This is how we come to make amends

Maybe we're the last ones standing
Staring at the stripes we see across the sky
We'll keep remembering the way we were tonight

Maybe we're the last ones standing
Waking up to sounds we've come to know and love
We'll keep remembering we've been waiting for this

So this is my progress
Does a day turn into night?
Or does it take over? Over done and over due

Such is a man to make it harder to believe
But aren't we all simple?
Simply difficult to read

This is how we come to make amends


6. APRIL 25TH

its a long hard walk
and i bet its worth the miles
and i'd rip the walls apart
if i knew it would be worth my while

are you talking to me,
are you talking to me in a whisper
are you talking to me when I'm
waiting for a smile

bring the cold we'll talk
step out over the memories
don't look down or you'll fall
wishing life wasn't make believe

are you talking to me,
are you talking to me in a whisper
are you talking to me when I'm
waiting for a smile.

are you talking to me (when im waiting)
are you talking to me (when im waiting)
are you talking to me (when im waiting)
are you talking to me
are you talking to me

are you talking to me,
are you talking to me in a whisper
are you talking to me when I'm
waiting for a smile.


7. STARTING ALL OVER (FULL BAND VERSION)

Am I wasting my breathe?
Cause it's still in my mind
That its always the wrong place
At the wrong time
So lets face the facts
We all make mistakes
We've got to live life
Before it passes right by.

So before you pack your things and go
There's one last thing that I want you to know
That you can't find happiness
If you won't let go

Can't agree on one thing
You can't fight fate with fate
We had a good love
But it's seen it's last days
When opporunity knocked
You had to answer the call
Those clouds on that sunny day
Have all blown away.

So before you pack your things and go
There's one last thing that I want you to know
That you can't find happiness
If you won't let go.
(x2)

So open your eyes
You're bound to get hurt sometime.
(x2)

So before you pack your things and go
There's one last thing that I want you to know
That you can't find happiness
If you won't let go.
(x2)

No, you can't find happiness
If you won't let go.


8. THE WORLD AwAITS

It doesn't matter where you're coming from
I am yours
She said on a candle lit front porch
And we were asking ourselves those things
That you ask yourself
When you're standing on a road thats bound to fork.

And who we are
Has brought us here
And I'm not running from tonight
And I'm not running from tonight
And wehre we are standing
Is the beginning
And I'm not running from tonight
I'm not running from tonight

I could feel the earth begin to shake
As I woke up
As if it were the first timeI had felt your touch
And we've been running from ourselves so long
That we couldn't find our way
Now the winds have shifted us to where we hope to stay.

And who we are
Has brought us here
And I'm not running from tonight
And I'm not running from tonight
And where we are standing
Is the beginning
And I'm not running from tonight
I'm not running from tonight

Wake me up
If I'm dreaming
The world awaits the dawning of a new day.
(x3)

(Took the time to walk away
Can't believe we've come so far
Its always the wrong way.)
(x2)

And who we are
Has brought us here
And I'm not running from tonight
And I'm not running from tonight
And where we are standing
Is the beginning
And I'm not running from tonight
I'm not running from tonight
No.
