| Echos In An Empty Room Lyrics |
| First Love Sunburned skin and leaves on the ground Red and orange and shades of dark brown Look up at the sun between the leaves Shading as we sit just you and me Feel the waves crashing over me Painted sun and clouds have left the air Falling down behind in their despair Shadows on the leaves upon the ground Watching as they're spinning all around Feel the waves crashing over me Feel the cool night upon my face Look up at the stars in dark blue space Sit under your leaves and drink the sea Sit under the leaves just you and me Feel the waves crashing over me. |
| Homesick Sitting by the phone I wonder if you'll call Its quiet all alone with your pictures on the wall A breath of your sweet smile is held between the frames For just a little while it holds me just the same I wish that I could Be there now If only I could Somehow Alone here at night you feel so far away I squint stare at the light to shut out everything The room a yellow haze when my eyes catch your glance A picture of the days we had a second chance I wish that I could Be there now If only I could Somehow |
| Twilight Look up dust is swirling all around A one way ticket to Pluto and you're not coming down Beyond the emptiness, colossal mystery is a simple formula That your selfcenteredness and incomplacency will never let you know As complicating as the sky Shooting star, another fades away From dusk till dawn again alone in outerspace And your hollow flight machines with inconsistant memories are sucked into the hole Where something beautiful was irrefutable and now exists no more As complicating as the sky |
| Shine and Fade Shooting stars on sleepless nights In this endless grey disaster Drowning fog decending tides On us ever, ever faster Spinning Falling the leaves of autumn Sitting Waiting on the stairs for you to come One by one the lights go dim As history is slowly fading From empty parking lots again While I sit alone here waiting Spinning Falling the leaves of autumn Sitting Waiting on the stairs for you to come Spinning round in circles Leaves are changing Falling down from overhead Different seasons Bring new reasons For me to wait for you instead. |
| (?) I watch my reflection on the TV The light it catches an awkward haze Surrounded by four walls I'm trapped and I'm drowning I never knew summer could be so grey Alone its quiet here A silent riot with my fear Its two in the morning its dark and its raining I hope the sun doesn't shine today The mockery dripping from the ceiling Soaks through my skin and fades away Alone its quiet here A silent riot with my fear. |
| Falling Asleep at the Wheel This highway is four lanes wide And the chanel that we're looking through is clouded Fuzzy photographs black and white No rear view mirror but we're not looking back The cities they all look the same As I start to slowly drift asleep Behind the steering wheel I know You'll never let me go The rain flies past my window And the windsheild wiper's broken so it is hard to see Look outside it starts to snow And the grey sky's taking over, taking over you and me The cities they all look the same As I start to slowly drift asleep Behind the steering wheel I know You'll never let me go As the sky meets the ground (as the sky meets the ground) Driving circles in this town (circles, circles) Maybe we should run away Maybe we should run away. |

| Forever Do you hear me when I call your name Toss and turn in sleepless nights of pain Do you wonder when we say goodbye If it'll be the last you hear me cry And we all know That it'll be over soon And we all know What we don't say is true The stars shine bright behind their silver moon Speak of dreams and sunny afternoons I wish that I could stand here all night long And talk out all the things we think are wrong And we all know That it'll be over soon And we all know What we don't say is true I wish that I could stay here forever I wish that I could stay here now and forever Hopeless dreams are cast aside at dawn I know it won't be long before it is gone So hold my hand and hope memories last Don't disappear in pictures of my past And we all know That it'll be over soon And we all know What we don't say is true. |
| Happy Endings The first thing, the morning, the way to work Your voice is calling and its starting to hurt Yeah, I'm alright but its been a while since I've seen your face And I guess its right but I'm really starting to miss this place And you wonder why I don't want you to leave No more sad goodbyes if you just make believe All good things aren't ending now And we were best buddies until the end No returns, or refunds, you said we'd always be friends But we hardly talk and I know that you've got better things to do No notes or calls but I know one day I'll make it up to you And you wonder why I don't want you to leave No more sad goodbyes if you just make believe All good things aren't ending And I wonder where I'll be in a year Probably sitting right here And you wonder why I don't want you to leave No more sad goodbyes if you just make believe All good things aren't ending now. |
| Long Goodbye Mind if I don't try to understand what is killing me tonight Mind if we don't talk about it here And I know I'm being distant, but the distance is getting to me And I'm holding back the memories of last year And if I could tell you Would you even care Sorry to disappoint you Will you still be here Wonder if you're sleeping while I lie awake at night I miss you before we say goodbye And now we've been living lonely and the days keep getting longer And I better stop before I start to cry And if I could tell you Would you even care Sorry to disappoint you Will you still be here Do you hear me when I don't speak a word Can you feel what you have heard? Do you hear me when I don't speak at all Will you catch me if I fall? And between your lines I hear you and the sadness falls right through me I don't want to feel this way Am I who you thought I was or maybe I'm just lonely Or was that just what I was trying to say And if I could tell you Would you even care Sorry to disappoint you. |
| Lullaby Goodnight my sunshine Shooting stars run down your eyes Put your head upon the pillow I'm not good with lonely nights In your dreams I hope you find me waiting In the place that we will always call our home Listen to your soft breathing As the moon climbs up the sky I want to hold you forever Let the hours pass us by In your dreams I hope you find me waiting In the place that we will always call our home In your dreams I hope you find me waiting In the place that we will always call our home. |
| For You I want to drown in the sea Let the waves come crashing over me Tides and time will never slow This sorrow inside won't let go As the stars slowly spin above These black waters will consume my love Just when you think that its over It blows up in your face again But something always comes along Picks you up and breaks you down Crushes your dreams upon the ground But something always comes along Feeling scared and .... Wanting nothing more than love But something will come along The stars shine brightly overhead come into view I sit nightly feeling the loss of you. |

| Mary's Ghost I'm sorry for all the things I said to you But its hard not to remember all the times that I've been through And I can't believe another day is gone again I don't know where I should even begin To say I'm sorry I can't help but be The same sad story of a Girl you used to know Forgive me all the promises I make to you And then brake everytime I lose another piece of you And hope has fallen down with no regrets today I can't wait or concentrate or find another way to say That I'm sorry I can't help but be The same sad story of a Girl you used to know I can never make this up to you. |
| By The Lake Upsidedown you're a part of me I drown reflections so you can't see Falling backwards and far from here Into the darkness where I'll disappear Tonight Lights ard dancing and the surface glows Digging deeper though nobody knows To the dungeon inside my head An empty nightmare alone he said Goodnight And all I'm asking is for an end But all I am doing is disappointing you again Over, its over I won't deceive you more You should just leave me like you were Rippled edges take my thoughts away Wander further as time goes astray Spinning circles around my soul Heart is beating out of control Take flight |
