6,000 miles away
and I've still got you on my mind
every night
I wish I could separate
what my heart wants
and what I know is right
it’s a daily fight
I know these things can take time
But I can’t leave these thoughts behind
And as I walk these streets
With names I cannot read
I can’t stop my mind
I wonder if there’s any time
That you smile when you think of me
It’s just a fantasy
I know these things can take time
But I can’t leave these thoughts behind
I wish I could hold that line
6,000 miles

Distance

I called you last night
To tell you what’s
Been on my mind
You cried on you the line
I wish I could
Dry those blue eyes
And I could hold you again
I’d say it’s alright
That someday, we’ll close
This distance
But not, not this instant
Not in this instance
When I’m with you
You’re the only one
I seem to see
I can get lost
And sometimes
I forget to breathe
If I could just hold you again
I’d say it’s alright
That someday, we’ll close
This distance
But not, not this instant
Not in this instance

Worth the Fight
04:15
|
|||
|
There’s something in the way that you look tonight
Tells me sometimes it’s worth the fight
The sparkle in your eyes
And that glow in your smile
And though we don’t always see eye to eye
You drive me mad and then I go and make you cry
I’m scared to death of leaving you behind
‘Cause you’re the one I always want by my side
chorus
Can’t keep a cap on these feelings
You send my mind reeling
But if I could keep you in my life
I know it’d be worth the fight
Remember how we used to go out walking late
Always laughing and never running out of things to say
I guess sometimes gold has a chance to stay
Would never guess that it would pan out this way
chorus
Can’t keep a cap on these feelings
You send my mind reeling
But if I could keep you in my life
I know it’d be worth the fight

Selfish Love
03:32
|
|||
|
I keep returning to this selfish love
where every moment is not enough
Always wondering if I’m on your mind
Afraid to lose who was never mine
chorus
I supplement my loneliness
Without regard for the real risk
I hesitate to move along
Though I know this feeling’s wrong
Maybe you weren’t ready to let me in
Or maybe it’s myself I’ve been fooling
Pre-occupied by these obsessions
And asking all the wrong questions
chorus
bridge
Why can’t I free my mind
From this love of the selfish kind
Why can’t I let it go
And face the truth I already know
verse
And though it’s all said and done
I forget that I’m the selfish one
Still wondering if I’m on your mind
while you go and live your life

We've Come From You
03:59
|

|
This world’s changed so much
The old has turned to rust
But some of it remains
Running through our veins
There’s wisdom in the past
We forget as we move too fast
Some is lost in time
Some preserved within our minds
chorus
How lucky we are to know
No matter where we go
We came from you
We’ve come from you
Life can be so hard
We all play our parts
But there’s comfort in the fact
You’ve always got our backs
You’ve taught us to be strong
No matter what comes along
When all hope is lost
There’s comfort in the thought
chorus

No Substitute
04:55
|

|
There’s just no substitute for you
though I’ve looked, it’s no use
I must admit this is out of my control
there’s no way to fill this hole
‘cause now I finally know
there’s just no substitute for you
no way to cure this pain
manage symptoms day to day
no single person can replace
I’m never gonna see your face
‘cause now I finally know
there’s just no substitute for you
bridge
no sense wondering what could have been
that’s a battle you cannot win
looking back on past mistakes
is always a losing game
There’s just no substitute for you
though I’ve looked, it’s no use
I must admit this is out of my control
there’s no way to fill this hole
‘cause now I finally know
there’s just no substitute for you

Who could have known
There was such a war in you
Who could have known
You kept it out of view
Pieces of you left
In collective memory
Water shining in the sun
I can feel you on the breeze
chorus
Standing by that river, I could feel you put to rest
By that flowing silver, where you found some happiness
Still think I see you around
This old city
I can picture your smile
As you turn to look at me
You’ve shaped me
Me into who I am
You’re so far away
But I can feel you in my hands
chorus
coda
If there could be
A chance that we could meet
I hope there’s freedom from your pain
And in your smile
No trace of hurricane

In the Morning
05:41
|

|
In the morning
when everything is fresh
and the sun is crawling
across your forehead
I swear
you’re the most beautiful
one I’ve ever known
that I can’t have
And on no sleep
I’m strangely aware
That by next week
This moment will be history
chorus
Don’t say that this is the end
Some things time cannot mend
Don’t say that this is the end
Don’t go and leave me again
If I only knew
How to turn back the clock
And forget you
The you that now haunts me
And if I relapse
And I come back to you
Then all I ask
All I ask
chorus
