Well the lights so clear and we're full of fear on what that future holds, and I'm scared to say it'll be okay cause of what we've all been told. And we try and we try just to get by and not let em get us down, Don't you know, it'll be alright? Don't you know, it'll be alright? Now it's time to go, we had the time of our life, and that's alright cause we have to find our own paths. And don't forget the friends you made and the promises you kept, and don't forget the ones you love and the ones that loved you. Well the lights so clear and we're full of fear on what that future holds, and I'm scared to say it'll be okay cause of what we've all been told. And we try and we try just to get by and not let em get us down, Don't you know, it'll be alright? Don't you know, it'll be alright? You're trying to find home. You're trying to find home. You're trying to find home. You're trying to find home. There were very few who said I believe in you, and I will try my best just to prove em wrong. And we're still climbing up this hill, cause all we've got is time to kill. Making memories in our heads, like once before. Well the lights so clear and we're full of fear on what that future holds, and I'm scared to say it'll be okay cause of what we've all been told. And we try and we try just to get by and not let em get us down, Don't you know, it'll be alright? Don't you know, it'll be alright? You're trying to find home. You're trying to find home. You're trying to find home. You're trying to find home. Crawling like a tiger inside your heavy heart. We can make believe if we'd try.

I don't think I recall the world having this much color. Through the black and the white and the stars in the night, what do we wait for now? I've seen all these dreams you have. You seem like you're never sad. I know I'm gonna make it through. I guess that's just what we do. Oh Oh Oh I just wanna fly. Oh Oh Oh But these words don't come out right. We try to change the world behind our closed eyes, yeah. Oh Oh Oh That's just what we do. Starry eyes lose their light as the desert wind blows tonight. I don't wanna waste this life, just to choose a path or fight. I've seen all these dreams you have. You seem like you're never sad. I know I'm gonna make it through. I guess that's just what we do. Oh Oh Oh I just wanna fly. Oh Oh Oh But these words don't come out right. We try to change the world behind our closed eyes, yeah. Oh Oh Oh That's just what we do.

The Call 04:06
What a lovely night to be okay. What a lovely night to be so unafraid. One last shot, don't make it small. A shot in the night, that is all. I've been here before, but it's not the same in my mind. I've been here before, but it's not the same in my eyes. Something bright, something good, golden hearts, misunderstood. Something whole with words divine, held together by a better design. It's a call in the night we see it at first light, we feel it in our bones we hold it on our own. It's a call in the night we see it at first light, we feel it in our bones we hold it on our own. It's the call. You feel it now. Oh Oh Tell me now what do you see? Have you seen the light in me? I've heard that it's all flickered out. Leaving this head full of doubt. I've been here before, but it's not the same in my mind. I've been here before, but it's not the same in my eyes. Something bright, something good, golden hearts, misunderstood. Something whole with words divine, held together by a better design. It's a call in the night we see it at first light, we feel it in our bones we hold it on our own. It's a call in the night we see it at first light, we feel it in our bones we hold it on our own. It's the call. You feel it now. Oh Oh

In the light of the day I met a girl and her name was fate I stood far away, in case she told me something I don't wanna know. Goodbye my love, Life has been good to me. If I'm not back again tell everyone where I've been. And we're off and we're off we'll fight fire with fire. And we're off and we're off we'll climb higher and higher. And we're off and we're off we'll fight fire with fire. And we're off and we're off we'll climb higher and higher. Lay your troubles down, lay your troubles down. Lay your troubles down, lay your troubles down. Next to mine. In the dark of the night, I saw that girl screaming at the sky. Is everything all right? She says no one sees through my judgement eyes. Goodbye my love, Life has been good to me. If I'm not back again tell everyone where I've been. And we're off and we're off we'll fight fire with fire. And we're off and we're off we'll climb higher and higher. And we're off and we're off we'll fight fire with fire. And we're off and we're off we'll climb higher and higher. Lay your troubles down, lay your troubles down. Lay your troubles down, lay your troubles down. Next to mine. You and I got a lot to say, moments like this are meant to stay. A girl named fate will rule the day I know, I know it's true. You and I got a lot to say, moments like this are meant to stay. A girl named fate will rule the day I know, I know it's true. And we're off and we're off we'll fight fire with fire. And we're off and we're off we'll climb higher and higher. And we're off and we're off we'll fight fire with fire. And we're off and we're off we'll climb higher and higher. Lay your troubles down, lay your troubles down. Lay your troubles down, lay your troubles down. Next to mine.

Wait for You 03:42
I could tell you now my greatest fear, to lose another thing that I hold dear. You've lost yourself, don't lose your soul. Don't be scared, we've all got holes. What could you say, don't walk away. Another night gone we'd wait for. It makes no sense to lose a friend now. Wait for you, Wait for you. Slow down don't pass me by, you disappeared when I closed my eyes. You're standing there right next to me, I see a strangers stare where a friend used to be. Oh Oh Oh The summer wind blows in the dead of the night. Would you now be there if I closed my eyes? The sun went down these thoughts went fast. I prayed to God don't make it last. What could you say, don't walk away. Another night gone we'd wait for. It makes no sense to lose a friend now. Wait for you, Wait for you. Slow down don't pass me by, you disappeared when I closed my eyes. You're standing there right next to me, I see a strangers stare where a friend used to be. Oh Oh Oh Why'd you have to go, why'd you have to go go? Why'd you have to go away? Why'd you have to go, why'd you have to go go? Why'd you have to go away?

Is this a start, to something new and something bright? In the dark, waiting for a source of light. To guide me home, ticket to the place I only know. On my own, I've grown to only know this way, hey hey. Something bright, yeah yeah. It's a life that you want where the ghosts will never haunt. And we wait for a call in the night to save us all. I won't let you down down. I won't let you down down. Hold the night for something bright. I won't let you down down. I won't let you down down. Hold the night for something bright. One more time, a chance for something bright. We've waited so long, we've waited all night. We can feel it now, holding our heads towards a brighter sky. If we could leave this town, maybe escape all the bitter lies. Something bright, yeah yeah. It's a life that you want where the ghosts will never haunt. And we wait for a call in the night to save us all. I won't let you down down. I won't let you down down. Hold the night for something bright. I won't let you down down. I won't let you down down. Hold the night for something bright.
