1.Saviour
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing.
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a savior, I'll need a saviour
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're
chained
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to
hold
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let
it go
I don't want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall...
save me
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
2.Drive My Soul
Seems somebody put out the moon,
Now the road is a minefield.
I can't follow the way she moves,
I can't see past the shadows.
You make the darkness disappear,
I feel found when you stand near.
I know where I am when you are here,
My way becomes so clear.
When you're gone,
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?
Seems somebody burned up the signs,
I can't expect the hard curves.
There's no borders? there are no lines.
How can I know where to turn?
You make the street lights reappear,
I feel bright when you stand near.
I know what I am when you are here,
My place becomes so clear.
When you're gone,
Will I lose control?
You're the only road that I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?
Will I lose control?
You're the only road that I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul-o-ul?
Drive my soul-o-ul?
When you're gone,
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know.
You show me where to go-o-o.
When you're gone,
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?
3.River
Out across cities I see buildings turn into piles,
And watch the world in wonder as mountains turn into tiles
And trees losing their leaves and their faces becoming tired
I wish I could discover something that doesn't expire
Come and stumble me
Take me river, carry me far
Lead me river, like a mother
Take me over to some other unknown,
Pull me in the undertow
Such other things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter
The same dynamic that another day would never matter
It really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving
And things that don't make sense are always a little deceiving
Come and humble me
Take me river, carry me far
Lead me river, like a mother
Take me over to some other unknown,
Pull me in the undertow
I wanna go where you're going,
A follower following,
Changing but never changed,
Claiming but never claimed
Take me river, carry me far
Lead me river, like a mother
Take me over to some other unknown,
Pull me in the undertow
Take me river, carry me far
Lead me river, like a mother
Take me over to some other unknown,
Pull me in the undertow
Take me river, carry me far
Lead me river, like a mother
Take me over to some other unknown,
Pull me in the undertow
4.Ice
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
What a disappointment, I had it perfectly
What I was going to bring up suddenly
Stood like a stone as you stood quietly
You're making it hard for me
All I can do is freeze
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you're not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right,
why'd you have to go and turn to ice
I don't think you're knowing how hard this is for me
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
So I swallowed my pride and I got on my knee
But still you just stood there as you stared at me
Your ego is getting over
How did you get so cold
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you're not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right,
why'd you have to go and turn to ice
I'm looking at you looking at me,
what can I do but say sorry
It's a little late but you know
I just want you to be happy.
What I got to say to make you
let me get away with it this time.
I know you're upset and that you're happy
just to sit and hate me,
But i'll make a bet that
you'll be better to forget about me,
Even better yet I'll let a little light melt the ice, ice baby!
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you're not feeling
And you're giving me nothing
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you're not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right,
why'd you have to go
I tried to do you right,
why'd you have to go and turn to ice
5.The Listening
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear
it must just be stress
I most likely shouldn't be here,
I'm such a mess
I never really ever know what to say
when all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get a fight in it afterwards
when all of my precautions are said and heard
How come I can never get to the right words?
I need to convey
Wish I could explain
the things that I have to work out
I don't feel right
What has come over me, I'm about
to lose my mind
I never really ever know what to say
when all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get a fight in it afterwards
when all of my precautions are said and heard
How come I can never get to the right words?
I need to convey
Wish I could explain
Can't I let the trees do the talking?
Can't I let the ground do the walking?
Can't I let the sky fill what's missing?
And can't I let my mouth do the listening?
I never really ever know what to say
All of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get a fight in it afterwards
when all of my precautions are said and heard
How come I can never get to the right words?
I need to convey
Wish I could explain
what I need to say
6.Pretend
Once in a while I act like a child
To feel like a kid again
It feels like a prison
In the body you‘re living in
Because everyone?s watching
Greedy to start talking
I'm losing my innocence
Wish I weren't a little girl
Who felt the weight of the world
It would be nice to start over again
Before we burn out
I'd give my breath
Let's play pretend
Remember the times
We had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you
Was check your attitude
Yeah, when fights were for fun
We had water for guns
And a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of that
I guess I'll never know
It would be nice to start over again
Before we burn out
I'd give my breath
Let's play pretend
And when it's the end
Our lives will make sense
And love, even
We won't have to play pretend
Because everyone?s watching
Greedy to start talking
I'm losing my innocence
Wish I weren't a little girl
Who felt the weight of the world
It would be nice to start over again
Before we burn out
I'd give my breath
Let's play pretend
And when it's the end
Our lives will make sense
And love, even
We won't have to play pretend
7.Second Go
How many times will the clock go round
How many times can my hands hit the ground
How many coffins before there's a crown
How far will I fall 'til the alarm sounds
How come you love me when I am ugly
Guess I can only hope
Give me a second go,
Don't let me go alone
You saw me at the worst,
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know,
Give me a second go
No matter the weather there's never a break
Conquer a ladder then slip on a snake
Cried 'til my river turned into a lake
And I'm wondering now before it's too late
How come you save me when I am angry
Reasons I'll never know
Give me a second go,
Don't let me go alone
You saw me at the worst,
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know,
Give me a second go
One to five I'm half alive,
six to nine I'm out of line
Ten to twelve I'm not myself,
by the millionth time...
I cry.
Give me a second go,
Don't let me go alone
You saw me at the worst,
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know,
Give me a second go,
Don't let me go alone
You saw me at the worst,
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know,
Give me a second go
Give me a second go,
Give me a second go,
8.The Last Thing On Your Mind
9.February Air
If you don't believe me
If you don't like my plans
You musn't tell me
How I know your face like the back of my hand
We walk the city
I talk to you, understand
So wont you tell me
How I know this place like the back of my hand
My arms get cold
In February air
Please don't lose hold
Of me, out there
If I know you're near me
I know you understand
Say that you're with me
Do you know my face like the back of your hand?
My arms get cold
In February air
Please don't lose hold
Of me, out there
My arms get cold
In February air
Please don't lose hold
Of me, out there, out there
Hey yeah yeah yeah
We hey yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah....
My arms get cold
In February air
Please don't lose hold
Of me, out there
My arms get cold
In February air
Please don't lose hold
Of me, out there, there, there
February air, air, air
And I know this face like the back of my hand
10.Face Up
It's late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile
The place is flying high but right now I want to be low
Don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles
And I don't want to go but I know I gotta go
I just want to feel alive
The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone
Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own
City's shining bright, but you don't see the light
How come you concentrate on things that don't make you feel
right
I just want to feel alright
The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
Gonna leave a mark, I'm gonna set a spark
I'm coming up off the ground
I won't be looking down
The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
11.Lions!
Give me a disaster, give me an emergency
Stand me at the head of the crusade without a remedy
Show me to the shipwreck, show me how you're bones shake
And when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade,
show me how a heart breakes
Be steady on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
Find me at the bottom looking at the vultures
Standing in the heart of the disease,
following the hard curves
I'm looking for the thunder, I'm looking for the blacknes
I'm learning how to get up off my knees and all takes is
practice
Be ready on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
I'm not the hunter, I'm not the marked
Just looking for wisdom in the dark
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
12.Quiet
I'm not yours, and you're not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
No fighting wars, no ringing chimes,
We're just feeling fine.
This is where we're supposed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
No tragedy, no poetry
Just staring at the sky
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
With you
I like it here beside you dear
You're even more than you appear
And in the clouds my head is clear
Every time you say hello
So here's my heart, and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
'Cause there are words I want to shout
But maybe I'll stay low
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
With you

Once in a while I act like a child

Our lives will make sense
And love, even
We won't have to play pretend
14.Up Up and Away
15.Saviour (Colin Munroe's Unsung Mix)
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're
chained
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to
hold
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let
it go
I don't want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall
Save me
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains (saviour) and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust (saviour) that turned me to rust
I just want to run to you (just want to run to you)
And break off the chains (saviour) and throw them away
I just want to be so much (just want to be so much)
And shake off the dust (saviour) that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour (saviour)
I'll need a saviour
