On Top of the World

Front of the line, plenty of time
We've waited here for so long
Bags have been packed, take one look back
Smile and wave a goodbye
It's yours, it's mine, the weather is fine
So take a step to the sky
This time we're there
Us on top of the world
So sweet, so fair
We're on top of the world
with no gravity at at all
So pretty in white, dazzles my site
it's been that way all along
Friends are all here, their love so near
voices burst out in song
it's yours, it's mine, the weather is fine
So take a step to the sky
This time we're there
Us on top of the world
So sweet, so fair
We're on top of the world
with no gravity at at all
What was will always be

Petty Troubles
03:35
|

Activation, from desolation
take a good look around
simple pleasures, and no pressure
all it takes is a sound
So take a listen, uncover your ears
and Petty Troubles will soon disappear
Eyebrows raising, embracing
all the fates that arrive
So many choices, but your voice is
all it take to decide
So leave a message after the tone
'cause I don't know when again I'll be home
Take a listen uncover your ears
and Petty Troubles will soon disappear
Sometimes it seems that everybody's
waiting for you to faux pas
Don't be afraid to explain that you're not listening
but in your dreams it's never so unlikely
for you to succeed
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bah
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Do do do do do do do do do
So don't waste your time with Petty Troubles
You could waste your time
listening to the wrong things
So leave a message after the tone
'cause I don't know when again I'll be home
Take a listen, uncover your ears
and Petty Troubles will soon disappear

Though I Try

I can't speak for everybody
Though I Try
Though I Try in every way
I can only have so many
points of view at a time
at a time, it's getting crowded
Tell me how I'm supposed to think
Tell me all the things I'm aching to hear
Hold me close I'm scared again
I can' see behind eyes that aren't my own
that aren't my own, Though I Try, Though I try
I can never ever seem to please all
of my invisible friends
invisible friends, Though I Try
Tell me how I'm supposed to think
Tell me all the things I'm aching to hear
Hold me close I think I'm helpless

A Thousand Years
05:53
|

Intent on sleeping in
just another year
Throw the clock and daydream
Autumn's getting near
The leaves that fall
will cover all
Block out the rain
Block out the sunshine
I'm comfortable right here
Oh I'm comfortable right here
Don't take me from my fortress on the hill
I've worked to hard to turn back
so until the time is right
I think that might stay here for a while
Towers form surrounding
Brambles twigs and leaves
A Thousand Years forgotten
No one needs to grieve
The leaves that fall
will cover all
Block out the rain
Block out the sunshine
I'm comfortable right here
Oh I'm comfortable right here
Don't take me from my fortress on the hill
I've worked to hard to turn back
so until the time is right
I think that might stay here for a while
Open the door for me
Let in the misery
Let in the sun to see
Winter's almost here and I'm hungry again
Block out the rain
Block out the sunshine
Block out the rain
Block out the sunshine
No More

Wishing on a Fallen Star
04:01
|

Looking at the stars alone
Crystal skies we make our own
private wishes
The wind is not always gentle
a breeze can be monumental
though we're barely aware
Riding on the waves that pass
nothing hurts and nothing lasts
there's just tomorrow
An idea and not much more
but it could be what we're hoping for
New beginnings can't be very far
I'll be wishing on a fallen star
Wishing on a fallen star
burns so brightly from a far
a memory
though it's gone we see it now
dead for years but yet some how
it feels so near
an idea and not much more
but it can be what we're hoping for
New beginnings can't be very far
I'll be wishing on a fallen star
I'll be wishing on a fallen star
