These nights go on forever
It’s just that time of year
I miss our time together
Really wish that you were here
Waking up to morning showers
Never lost for things to say
Walking through the woods for hours
Swimming naked every day

And now I know you’re gone away
I dream about you every day
When you’re gone I feel it in my bones
You’ll come back again I know
When days are longer after the snow
Til then I’ll just learn to live alone
Learn to live alone

Well I know it’s temporary
Happens like this every year
I guess I’ll reset my memory
Make believe you were never here
I can go wherever I want to
See friends and carry on
Go to bed when the morning comes through
Play guitar all night long

Still I can’t get used to this
I only think of things I miss
I can’t forget the places we have gone
You’ll come back again I know
When days are longer after the snow
Til then I’ll just learn to live alone
Learn to live alone
Learn to live alone

People ask me how I’m feeling
They call and come around
They can see my world is reeling
Everything’s turned upside down

Still I can’t get used to this
I only think of things I miss
I can’t forget the places we have gone
You’ll come back again I know
When days are longer after the snow
Til then I’ll just learn to live alone
Learn to live alone
Learn to live alone

There we were walking in the middle of the night
My arm around your shoulder and your collar pulled tight
Wind blowing through us like an echo in a hall
Downtown buildings made us feel so small
Everywhere, in the air, they were there

Lying in my living room staying up all night
Flipping over records til they didn’t sound right
This city made you hungry, this city made you sad
You said you disappointed every lover you had
But you were wrong, you were wrong, you should know

Lying there beside you and I’m watching your breath
So soft and fragile, scares me to death
I want to wake you up and tell you one more time
You belong, you belong, you belong

Oh and you came along like a big burning sun
And you left me a hole in my heart
And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long
Just to know what I’ve known from the start
Right from the start

We had one more week together, then you went away
Wrote me crazy letters that I’ve kept to this day
I found your street and walked down there calling out your name
You opened up your window and said “man you’ve got no shame”
I don’t care, you should know I don’t care

It’s all right there before me like it’s happening now
I write it all down so I don’t lose it somehow
You put a light in me deep in my soul
Never fades, never fades, won’t go away

Oh and you came along like a big burning sun
And you left me a hole in my heart
And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long
Just to know what I’ve known from the start
Right from the start
Oh what’s the use in digging around in the past
We were like a flashfire, never meant to last

Saw you about a year ago
In line to see a play
You tried to introduce me
Couldn't remember my name
Maybe you got tongue-tied
It’s hard to explain
Looked into your eyes to see if you felt the same
I don’t know, couldn’t tell, I don’t know

It’s all right there before me like it’s happening now
I write it all down so I don’t lose it somehow
You put a light in me deep in my soul
Never fades, never fades, won’t go away

Oh and you came along like a big burning sun
And you left me a hole in my heart
And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long
Just to know what I’ve known from the start
And I can’t believe that I’ve waited so long
Just to know what I’ve known from the start
Right from the start
Right from the start

Last night was a scene
They spilled some gasoline
Lit a fire on the township line
Everybody drove their cars down there
Hoping for a real good time

We were just walking around
The burning ground
All covered in cinders and ash
It was the highlight of the summer here
A midnight firelight bash

So long now the time has finally come
No more waiting
Everything is said and done
You wake up one day knowing that you don’t belong
So when they ask you where you think you’re going
You say anywhere else but home

People round here don’t put on airs
They keep their feet on the ground
I was always a bit much
I never had to pay
Cause my cousin was the toughest in town
I could just fill my mind with places I never went to when I was a kid
And as I watched my family work so hard I knew I didn’t want what they did

So long now the time has finally come
No more waiting
Everything is said and done
You wake up one day knowing that you don’t belong
So when they ask you where you think you’re going
You say anywhere else but home

They say wait fortunes change
But that’s not how it feels
My feet are sinking in
If I don’t get out now I never will

Meet me in the parking lot
Down by the LC
By the railroad track
You know I always loved this town
But it never loved me back
I can remember my first midnight kiss
In the graveyard behind the bar
And I thought all my days would be like this
But that’s not the way they are

So long now the time has finally come
No more waiting
Everything is said and done
You wake up one day knowing that you don’t belong
So when they ask you where you think you’re going
You say anywhere else but home

You tell me walk away
Impossible
Impossible
Say the world will never change
Impossible too
It’s a lonely road you’re walking on
Keeps you down on your knees
Give up on you
Unlikely
Improbable
Impossible

I look at pictures of you
When you were a kid
No one ever made me laugh
The way you did
Now your darkest nights
They run like a bad dream
You once had
Turn my back on you
Unlikely
Improbable
Impossible

Throw the doors
And windows wide
Chase the ghosts
Out of this place
What good would living be
If I never saw your face

Throw the doors
And windows wide
Chase the ghosts
Out of this place
What good would living be
If I never saw your face

I go out searching
Through the shattered beams of light
Wonder where you’ll lay your head down tonight
And I wait here patiently
For your heart so open and wild
Give up on you
Unlikely
Improbable

Turn my back on you
Unlikely
Improbable

Walk away from you
Unlikely
Improbable

Impossible
Impossible
Impossible

She cries at everything
Like a bird with a broken wing
I want to save her
But I know she wouldn't want me to

Just look where the world has gone
We’re standing in the middle of a gathering storm
And everybody thinks that their own way is true

And as each morning comes
I wake up in our bed
She turns and smiles at me
All day long I watch her in my head

Alright it’s a long cold night
And I’m just happy to stay inside
All the world fades away when I’m with you

Out in the desert in a rented car
To find some peace you’ve got to go this far
I was having trouble ‘cause my mind just wouldn’t clear

She looked out the window, said what do you think
You wouldn't even know we were on the brink
What a gift, thank you for bringing me here

And as we drove away, moonlight in our eyes
All the clouds they moved away
A thousand stars lit up all the skies

Alright it’s a long cold night
And I’m just happy to stay inside
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

We lose our heads and we go too far
But that’s just what lovers are
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

Right in the middle of the dullest day
She turned said baby let's run away
Who'd even miss us if we left for a year or two
So we packed our stuff shut the city down
Headed to the coast, a little fishing town
Trying to find peace, live like locals do
And as each day would come
We'd look out on the shore
And watch the icefloes run
And wonder why we ever needed
Wonder why we ever needed more

Alright it’s a long cold night
And I’m just happy to stay inside
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

Lose our heads and we go too far
That’s just what lovers are
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

You can't hide from everything
You just can't tell what the future'll bring
All the world fades away when I’m with you

He saw her standing
Beside the mirrored wall
All by herself but not nervous at all
Smokey light above her
A drink in her hand
And a look that he couldn’t quite understand

She saw him coming
Slow but confident
He wasn’t smiling
And she wondered what that meant
He had a birthmark
Just above his lip
Broke her heart a little bit

And the world stopped
And the wind was still
And the sun sank down below the hill
Just two people getting through
Maybe two lives don’t matter
But I think they do
I think they do

They talked a while and he made her laugh
She told him everything, walked him through her past
Time just flew and before they were done
They looked around and everyone was gone

She took his hand, led him out behind the bar
Raised up her shirt and she showed him her scars
These are my testament, they’re always with me
I need you to know how this will be

And the world stopped
And the wind was still
And the sun sank down below the hill
Just two people getting through
Maybe two lives don’t matter
But I think they do
I think they do

He took his finger and he traced the bumpy lines
From now on I will treat these like mine
Reached out his hand and he wiped away a tear
No regrets, no fear

They walked on down the road, hands held tight
He whispered something that was lost in the night
I hope that fortune smiles wherever they go
Truth is, we’ll never know

And the world stopped
And the wind was still
And the sun sank down below the hill
Just two people getting through
Maybe two lives don’t matter
But I think they do
I think they do
I think they do
I think they do

I only came up here for a lark
A young man killing time
Something ‘bout this place
Burrowed deep in my heart
And somewhere along the way
I crossed the line

You can throw your head back and howl
Find all the joys of a child

Now I, I’m too far gone
I’m too far round the bend
And I’ve tried, to think of going home
I can’t go back home again
I can’t go home again

A friend gave me a job
Painting outdoors on the main
I said “when the sun goes down do we quit?”
He said “you’re in the land
Of the midnight sun
I trust you’ve heard of it?”
So we dipped our brushes in
And we worked through the days that never end

Now I, I’m too far gone
I’m too far round the bend
And I’ve tried, to think of going home
I can’t go back home again
I can’t go home again

Everybody here’s come a long long way
To keep their demons down
Some they even move to the deep dark woods
Cause it's just too much for them in town
But on those nights when our spirits fly
And everybody’s singing to the sky

I know, well I’m too far gone
I’m too far round the bend
And I’ve tried, to think of going home
I can’t go back home again
I can’t go home again

This can be a rough town
And tempers flare
They rise up and then they’re gone
But there’s gods in the mountains here
And angels in the air
Things you can always count on
You can walk down these dusty roads
But you can’t walk by without saying hello

Now I, well I’m too far gone
I’m too far round the bend
And I’ve tried, to think of going home
I can’t go back home again
I can’t go home again

Oh now I, I’m too far gone
I’m too far round the bend
And I’ve tried, to think of going home
I can’t go back home again
Can’t go home again
No I can’t go home again

Say goodbye
We do it all the time now
Angry words that we say at night
Disappear in the morning light

Stars above
Are they looking down on us
Guiding us through the darkest night
Weaving in and out
Of wrong and right

Torn
I’m not torn
I know the road is long
And I’m not torn

Used to be
You walked with eyes wide open
More and more
These days I find
First sign of trouble
And you run and hide

Torn
I’m not torn
I know the road is long
And I’m not torn

You know I can lose my head
And I don’t even see the clouds
Maybe the darkness is coming
But I’m still waiting
I’m still waiting

Cold as ice
That’s how the world
Seems sometimes
Changes come
No matter what you do
Leaves you nothing
You can hold on to

Close your eyes
Fall back to the world inside you
You don’t like
All the things you see
But you’re just one step
From where you want to be

Torn
I’m not torn
I know the road is long
But I’m not torn

I’m not torn
I know the road is long
Yes it goes on and on
I know the road is long
But I’m not torn

I’m wondering
Stop wondering why
Could this be true
Yes it is
I’m waking up
We’ve been waiting for years
It’s such a beautiful sight

Well I can’t see
Just open your eyes
Maybe I’m scared
Don’t you be
There’s so much
It’s a lot to take in
I don’t know where to begin

All the stars above us
Are shining on down
Everyday angels
They keep flying all around

Give me one more day
No you’ve had enough time
But I could fall
Yes it’s true
You know what I need
A little help from your friends
Yes I believe that will do
A little help from your friends

There’s the sunrise
Happens every day
I don’t recall
It passed you by
I missed so much
You’ve been hiding away
Well look at that fire in the sky

All the stars above us
Are shining on down
Everyday angels
And they lift us off the ground

I’m wondering
Stop wondering why
Could this be true
You know it is
I’m waking up
Oh well it’s about time
It’s such a beautiful sight
Oh such a beautiful sight
It’s such a beautiful sight
Oh I’m waking up

How did you know it was me that was crying
Behind the locked door
I don't cry very much, in fact not at all
But I know what I was crying for
Lately the walls of my world have been crumbling
Letting in all of my blues
Oh, I know I'll get through it
I just gotta hear some good news

Well, I guess that we're getting all we deserve
We've been careless for too many days
When I see all my brothers and sisters together
I know that that's worthy of praise
History has its own way of revealing
The moment that we lit the fuse
Oh, I guess we'll get through it
We just gotta hear some good news

Oh, why am I blinded again?
So much I don't understand
I wake up dreaming at night
Watching the lives that I'm holding
Slip through my hands

Oh, why am I blinded again?
So much I don't understand
I wake up dreaming at night
Watching the lives that I'm holding
Slip through my hands

Oh, the anger is rising there's effigies burned
There's damage that surely will last
At this moment in time, well I hope we have learned
Not to slip back to ways of the past
There's a light that keeps shining so deep in our hearts
And it's there any time that we choose

Oh, I know we'll get through it, we just gotta hear
Oh, I know we'll get through it, we just gotta hear
Oh, I know we'll get through it, we just gotta hear some good news

He wakes up with
The same song in his head
And he wonders
When this feeling will end
No cause and no defense
No point looking at the time he spent
Life brings you highs and lows
And that’s the way it goes

He turns his face to the Northern sky
Says a little prayer
Lets time go by
He’s always been rolling
He’s always been holding it down

Outside his door
The great unknown
So he walks out now
Not caring where he’s going
Cuts through the summer air
Reflections of her everywhere
Pictures they flood his brain
But he can’t go there again

He turns his face to the Northern sky
Says a little prayer
Lets time go by
He’s always been rolling
He’s always been holding it
No point listening
To what the fortunes say
It tests your faith
Gets blown away
Always been rolling
He’s always been holding it down

In time he comes to realize
That only in his dreams
Does he see her eyes
Drives his car
To an East Coast beach
Moon hangs low
Just out of reach
Somehow he’s always known
He’d up here alone

He turns his face to the Northern sky
Says a little prayer
Lets time go by
He’s always been rolling
He’s always been holding it
No point listening
To what the fortunes say
It tests your faith
Gets blown away
Always been rolling
He’s always been holding it down
Holding it down

Everything has it’s time
No season lasts forever
So I’m told
But if I look far ahead
I can see our lives together
That’s why I’m holding on

Come sit beside me
And we’ll talk til dawn
I don’t care how many times
We lose our way
You should know
That as the years have gone
My love for you has always stayed the same
Always will be so
You’re going to say goodbye to me
You’re going to say goodbye to me

So many days went by
I guess I never saw it coming
That’s not really true
You and I had the time
But we always kept on running
Cause that’s just what we do
Let’s find the crowded streets
That we once walked on
Watch the moonlight on the St. Charles Bridge
Sit down in city squares
We’ve long forgotten
Oh remember all the lives we’ve lived
Always will be true
You’re going to say goodbye to me
You’re going to say goodbye to me

So many nights I lie awake
Wonder where you are
Oh my spirit’s sinking
Falling like a shooting star
I’m not looking back with blame
There were cracks right from the start
You go to live your life now
Oh my heart
You’re going to say goodbye to me
You’re going to say goodbye to me

Let’s find the crowded streets
That we once walked on
Watch the moonlight on the St. Charles Bridge
Mountain meadows that we have lay down in
Fireflies floating in the wind
Always will be true
You’re going to say goodbye to me
You’re going to say goodbye to me

Our first apartment
And we’re walking through the door
Oh we had nothing yet
Sleeping on the floor
That summer it was killer
But it didn’t seem so hard
Meeting up at midnight
Oh my heart
You’re going to say goodbye to me
Oh my heart
You’re going to say goodbye to me
