Blue Skies 05:59
Pack a bag and get away Take my hand Jump on board, buckle up, ground control we're cleared for take off Up up and away We've got a long long way to go Around the world we fly Up above the clouds we soar Through the blue skies Drop a pin on the map where we've been P.S. wish you were here If you go all the way, to the edge of the world you'll see Where the sidewalk ends We've got a long long way to go Around the world we fly Up above the clouds we soar Through the blue skies Take with you what you need I will be with you Always one more goodbye One more embrace Rendezvous with an ocean view Watch the waves rollin' away Powder sand, SPF, stay out too long you'll regret Your skin sun kissed We've got a long long way to go Around the world we fly Up above the clouds we soar Through the blue skies

Standing on the shore of the riverbank I saw a body in the water when the current turned it over Walkin' down the alley in the middle of the night I saw an old man warming his hands by the fire Late night club under age girl She's swingin' from the pole, making a twirl Dealing on the corner across from a school He robbing grave making children his slaves Every time I look around I see too many things that are bringing me down Everywhere you look You see more, more, more, more No end in sight, I see it day and night Quench their appetite with Capital Vices Midnight drivin' down the road I saw three car wreck from a drunk driver Downtown after the sound of the bell Another shirt and tie that's robbin' us blind (chorus) Stop and go in a traffic jam No one pulls over for the ambulance goin' by Deep water drilling on the ocean floor Polluting the sea turn their pockets green (chorus)

Come To This 06:04
I wonder how it will be Now that we don't see Eye to eye anymore Time, all these years spent in Silence, put more and more Miles, between us now But I can't give chase I know I'll never get this moment again Playing it over in my head I tell myself it was the right thing to do Oh my love I can't begin, to tell you how my life has been Days run into night And shadows fall off the wall I stare and wonder why It has come to this Tell me, tell me what to do You know I'll do anything for you Just don't walk, just don't walk away. We search the whole world through And end up in each others arms Soak up all the tears In the sands of time

Got a broke down truck, she don't run no more Got a broke down truck, she don't run no more Sits and rusts away, take my pay at the end of the day Got a broke down truck, she don't run no more She once was good, star of the neighborhood She once was good, star of the neighborhood Rusted hubcaps and tires flat, overgrown weeds in the yard out back She once was good, star of the neighborhood Push it, pull it Push down the road c'mon gimme a tow I cried the day, they towed her away I cried the day, they towed her away Muffler fell off and dragged behind, stale gasoline burned in my mind I cried the day, they towed her away Push it, pull it Push down the road c'mon gimme a tow

Fall For You 04:12
Oh my world's upside down And I feel myself falling to the ground Don't know when it sneaks up on you It only happens once in a lifetime Oh, I feel I'm flying Head in the clouds I'm high Hold my hand As I fall for you We laugh looking back All the funny interactions and playing hard to get Now as time ticks on we look around All the memories we have in photobooks and holiday cards Oh, I feel I'm flying Head in the clouds I'm high Hold my hand As I fall for you Where you go I'll be right beside you Hand in hand, it's our world for the taking We'll see it through, you and me All the way, all the way, all the way home On in moments like this sometimes it's hard To find the right words You always beat me to the punch With those three little words and knock me out Oh, I feel I'm flying Head in the clouds I'm high Hold my hand As I fall for you

Wake up see the sun warm my day Been a long sleepless night, gray clouds go away We're in the same mess, same excuses Fight each other over what the truth is Seems to be getting hotter in here Wasn't like this at this time last year Water higher than before Just more things we choose to ignore Time and time again I wonder when this all will end Living in a world of hurt in a world that's hurting Everybody taking more than they need and giving less Till it all runs out We're running out of time Wash it all away We're running out of time Wash it all away What goes up acid rains down Melts away more than mankind's crown All of this hard to believe It's getting harder and harder to breathe

Feel the weight of the world Resting on your shoulders Weighing you down Crumbling away Take it all, take it all Take it all away Second thoughts of what really matter Sometimes we stand, other times we fall Take it all away I know that there's a way I need you help but I can't say I hold it in, hold it back and can't let go Going no where Take it all, take it all Take it all away Second thoughts of what really matter Sometimes we stand, other times we fall Take it all away Does it matter now Walking away

Time Gone 03:32
Hello again, it's been a long time Since our plans fell through We promised one another for another time that never happened And now we sit and think 'I remember him or her' Whatever happened to, whatever happened to Oh where has all this time gone Slipping away Oh where have all these days gone Slipping away Ain't it funny how when we're young we want to be older And when we get there want to be twenty-one again And all the while we miss everything in the middle Even the mid life crisis Oh where has all this time gone Slipping away Oh where have all these days gone Slipping away We try to hold on to these moments inside a picture frame We say they'll be another day, someday And at the start of every year we make changes with resolutions A few months go by and we resort to our old ways Another year goes by Another year goes by
