      Picking up the pieces out they left you in again
      Love is all you want but you’re never gonna feel the same
      It’s hard to be yourself when everyone around is changing
      Open up your eyes and you’ll never lose yourself again

      And we go over and over and over again
      Are ya lost in the past thinking what might have been
      You’re here and you’re now started over and then
      Take it over and over and over again

      Turn it up
      Turn it up

      Old enough to know and young enough to live again
      Stare into the mirror but no one that you know is there (that you know is there)
      Shaking like its cold and no one’s there to take your hand
      I will give you mine and shiver ‘till you’re warm again

      So don’t you look down

      And we go over and over and over again
      Are ya lost in the past thinking what might have been
      You’re here and you’re now started over and then
      Take it over and over and over again

      Turn it up
      Turn it up
      Turn it up
      Turn it up

      Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we’ll start again
      Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
      Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we’ll start again
      Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
      [x2]

      Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we’ll start again
      Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
      Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we’ll start again

      Turn it up
      Turn it up
      Turn it up (up up up) 
      And we’ll start again

      Turn it up
      And we’ll start again

    • Souls In The Machine

      All this time I was losing control
      Chasing a life that would steal my soul
      Too many faces, too many lies
      Too many hands trying to steal this prize
      We all got demons
      We all get scared
      On our knees, hoping someone cares

      And all we need is a little honesty right now
      We're still waiting

      We are, we are, we are the soul in the machine
      We are, we are
      When you look up at the bright stars
      We are a part of everything
      We are, we are

      Every breath's a moment
      Every moment is a chance to live again

      This hope is burning like fire in my veins
      When the fear is gone and the truth remains
      People are gusts
      We've got so much to give, yeah
      So many dreams
      So much to live for

      When life gets hard, we get brave
      We all get scared, it's okay

      We are, we are, we are the soul in the machine
      We are, we are
      When you look up at the bright stars
      We are a part of everything
      We are, we are

      Every breath's a moment
      Every moment is a chance to live again

      When you hear it coming
      Oh, it feels like falling
      When you find your calling
      Don't be afraid, darling
      I know you'll always be brave
      When you hear it coming
      Oh, it feels like falling
      When you find your calling
      Don't be afraid darling
      I know you'll always be brave
      Can you hear it calling?
      Oh, it feels like falling
      And then you find your calling
      Don't be afraid
      Darling, be brave

    • Flood
       
      I wanna see what you see in me
      And never let you down
      Can you still feel my love?
      I walked away from the piece of me
      A dying ghost in an old machine
      Oh please, don't cry, my love

      I was a blind man chasing shadows
      It was a cold hair man I'd known
      Wherever you go I will follow
      Like an orphan running home

      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart

      I had a dream you were next to me
      I woke up calling your name
      Can you still feel my love?
      I wanna be something you can touch
      You're moving fast, but I'm catching up
      No don't slow down, my love

      I was a blind man chasing shadows
      It was a cold hair man I'd known
      Wherever you go I will follow
      Like an orphan running home

      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart

      Let the water rise
      Let the water rise
      Let the water take me under
      Let the water rise
      Let the water rise
      Let the water take me under
      I believe in the flood you opened
      I believe it can save me now
      I believe when the door was closing
      You broke it down
      You broke it down

      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
      You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the flood that opened my heart
    • The Pin

      I would give what's left of me away
      Twist and turn just to hear you say
      That you still think I'm beautiful
      I'm worth a chance
      Even still today

      The battle plan has left me weak and worn
      Into directions, I feel like I've been torn
      We used to live without the shame
      We used to love without the blame

      We're going up and down
      Hold on
      We're crashing to the ground
      And anytime you kneel
      I'll open up again
      You reach inside of me
      And then you pull the pin
      And then you pull the pin
      Oh, you pull the pin
      And then you pull the pin

      We're doing penance for all our petty crimes
      On our knees, oh we're just killing time
      First we bend and then we break
      And I don't wanna be too late to change

      Oh, I saw your light when I looked into the mirror
      And then the past began to disappear
      You know my lies were full of fear
      And can you still forgive me, dear?

      We're going up and down
      Hold on
      We're crashing to the ground
      And any time you kneel
      I open up again
      You reach inside of me
      And then you pull the pin
      And then you pull the pin
      Oh, you pull the pin
      And then you pull the pin

      Your words can lift me up or crush me to dust again
      Can't tell if we are flying or falling to the end
      Your words can lift me up or crush me to dust again
      Can't tell if we are flying or falling to the end

      We're going up and down
      Hold on
      We're crashing to the ground
      And any time you kneel
      I open up again
      You reach inside of me
      And then you pull the pin
      And then you pull the pin
      Oh, and you pull the pin
      And then you pull the pin

    • Boxes

      I need a family to drive me crazy
      Call me out when I'm low and lazy
      It won't be perfect, but we'll be fine
      Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine
      You got mine

      We'll have tiny boxes for memories
      Open them up and we'll set them free
      There'll be bad days and some hard times
      But I'll keep your secrets, if you keep mine

      You are the memory that won't ever lapse
      When twenty five years have suddenly passed
      Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
      Your love's the one love that I need to know
      Your love's the one love that I need to know

      Take my picture and then you laugh
      Cause I hate the way I look in photographs
      Keep your memories, but don't live the past
      I'm looking forward to the best days we will have

      You are the memory that won't ever lapse
      When twenty five years have suddenly passed
      Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
      Your love's the one love that I need to know
      You are the sun in the desolate sky
      And your life's in these words and it can't be denied
      Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
      Your love's the one love that I need to know
      Your love's the one love that I need to know

      You can cry away all your complicated memories
      That keep you up so many nights
      But darling save your apologies
      Cause I know that you're scared,
      But I swear you'll be alright
      I swear you're alright
      You're alright

      When the answers escape us when we start to fade
      Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed
      Cause my body will fail, but my soul will go on
      So don't you get lonely
      I'm right where you are

      You are the memory that won't ever lapse
      When twenty five years have suddenly passed
      Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
      Your love's the one love that I need to know
      You are the sun in the desolate sky
      And your life's in these words and it can't be denied
      Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go
      Your love's the one love that I need to know
      Your love's the one love that I need to know

    • Free of Me
      I watch your patience going strong
      I saw it in there all along
      But there's no records there to keep
      Because you took them in your sleep now
      And I feel you holding back on the same things that you're lacking of
      The simple things keep coming back to me

      And when your voice is gone cause you're crying out too long
      You know your words were echoing with me
      And when you're pushed to tears from the magnets of the years
      And the life you're living since you're free
      Free of me

      Thank God for every single time
      We got to see a new sunrise
      But when the darkness got too deep
      You chose to put it all to sleep now
      And I feel you holding back all the same things that you're lacking of
      The simple things keep coming back to me

      And when your voice is gone cause you're crying out too long
      You know your words were echoing with me
      And when you're pushed to tears from the voices over years
      And the life you're living since you're free

      And when your voice is gone cause you're crying out too long
      You know your words were echoing with me
      And when you're pushed to tears from the poison of the years
      And the life you're living since you're free
      Free of me
      Free of me
      Free of me
      Free of me
    • Reverse

      And in my ignorance I thought that I found this
      Yeah, I was drunk tonight when I thought I caught a glimpse of you
      Up on the rooftop painting pictures of memories
      And I know you lied to me, but I love the stories

      Holding out for something more
      Like a drug that I abuse
      It's crazy but it's all we know
      It's broken but it's true, yeah

      You can save my life if you stay all night
      But you don't owe me in the morning
      You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat
      But you never gonna own it
      Let me know, let me know
      Are you out?
      Are you in?
      Will you say so?
      Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
      Stuck in reverse

      Your broken glass shines like diamonds in the street
      It's a brilliant distraction from all of this deceit
      And I, I think it's crazy how we took it way too far
      Is it naive to wanna hit rewind, and get back to the start?

      Holding out for something more
      Like a drug that I abuse
      It's crazy but it's all we know
      It's broken but it's true, yeah

      You can save my life if you stay all night
      But you don't owe me in the morning
      You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat
      But you never gonna own it
      Let me know, let me know
      Are you out?
      Are you in?
      Will you say so?
      Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
      Stuck in reverse

      You're a long way from everybody
      You're the one that's brokenhearted
      Can you even see what you're do to me?
      If you're stuck in the middle of all the hurt and you've had enough
      All it takes is one word
      All it takes is one word

      You can save my life if you stay all night
      But you don't owe me in the morning
      You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat
      But you never gonna own it
      Let me know, let me know
      Are you out?
      Are you in?
      Will you say so?
      Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
      Stuck in reverse

    • Lucky One

      Cause I'm the lucky one

      Sometimes our dreams, they will escape us
      But we're not sleeping anymore
      If all we are is lost, I'll keep you in a memory
      And when you close your eyes, you will remember me

      I, I won't forget you
      Even if you let me go

      You burn so bright, it just can't last
      Doesn't mean so much
      No I won't forget
      So please, remember me

      I, I won't forget you
      Even if you let me go

    • So Alive

      Feeling like a hero, but I can't fly
      No, you never crash if you don't try
      Took it to the edge, now I know why
      Never gonna live if you're too scared to die

      Gonna disconnect from the hard wire
      Time to raise a flag for the cease fire
      Staring down the hole inside me
      Looking in the mirror, making peace with the enemy

      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      You can make it on a wish if you want to

      Open up my heart like a shotgun
      Blinded by the light of a new sun
      Get up, get up, get out and get done
      For the first time I feel like someone

      Breaking down the walls in my own mind
      Keeping my faith for the bad times
      Get up, get up, stand like a champion
      Take it to the world, gonna sing it like an anthem

      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      You can make it on a wish if you want to

      I am no man of steel
      I have no heart of stone
      Don't tell me how it feels
      I'll find it on my own

      Never gonna live if you're too scared to die

      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive
      You can make it on a wish if you want to
      You can make it on a wish if you want to

      I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so alive

    • Prayer In My Pocket
      So now you're feeling bad
      But I've been thinking of you
      They never understand
      I'm going to put it in my, my lost book of memories
      I'm going to bring it with me everywhere

      I got a prayer in my pocket I'll save for you
      I wished a million times but they don't come true
      I got a prayer in my pocket for just these times
      Got a prayer in my pocket that you'll be mine

      I had a prayer in my pocket I need so bad
      I'm gonna find some peace if it drives me mad
      And I hope one day that you'll understand
      (Said you're gonna, said you're gonna)
      If you see it all right here
      Can't you see it's right here?
      (Can't you see it?)
      Can't you see the sun's up here?
      Can't you see it's right...

      Come on leave your cares away
      Let's shake another, shake another way
      Gonna be standing up for how you live
      Said you're gonna, said you're gonna

      Can't you see it's all right here?
      Can't you see it's right...
      (Can't you see it?)
      Can't you see the sun's up here?
      Can't you see it's right...
      (Can't you see it?)

      I got a prayer in my pocket I'll save for you
      (Can't you see it? It's all right here)
      I got a prayer in my pocket I'll save for you
      (Can't you see it? It's right...)

    • Long Way Home
       
      I see the darkness and it's following me here
      To all the cracks and all the edges of your fear
      I know where you go
      You try to run away, but really you are falling
      Through endless shadows made of everything you thought it was
      Till you woke up

      When your hope is sinking like a stone
      I will take your hand, I will walk you home
      If you never try, you're never gonna know
      I will take you there, but you can't let go
      Cause it's a long way home
      It's a long way
      It's a long way
      It's a long way

      I've seen the lights of countless dreamers burned from nothing
      You have to hurt to know if anything means something more
      Yeah, you're so much more

      When your hope is sinking like a stone
      I will take your hand, I will walk you home
      If you never try, you're never gonna know
      I will take you there, but you can't let go
      Cause it's a long way home
      It's a long way
      It's a long way
      It's a long way

      Light up the darkness
      Take what you're given
      Sometimes it's frightening
      But it's amazing
      Live for the moment
      We're only human
      We're only human
      We're only human

      It's a long way
      It's a long way
      It's a long way

      When your hope is sinking like a stone
      I will take your hand, I will walk you home
      If you never try, you're never gonna know
      I will take you there, but you can't let go
      Cause it's a long way home
      It's a long way
      It's a long way
      It's a long way home
