You’re a chiming echo, hearing that bell ring
It’s no wonder how this angel got her wings
Such a pretty problem, stop me on my tracks
The heart is there but the conscience lacks, sends me back
Looking in the aisles, if you want to see
Try 791.43
It’s never been a problem, till I saw you here
It’s so hard to be sincere
I haven’t found you in these pages
And I don’t believe that’s the way it is
Falling snow, letting go
I won’t know how wonderful it’s been
Put love in quotations, taking tiny steps
That’s leaps and bounds as close as I can get
It’s all words and smiles, play it off as friends
I see how all of this will end
I haven’t found you in these pages
And I guess that’s the way it is
Falling down, come around
Yes, I found how wonderful it’s been
Oh, Mary, oh, Mary
I haven’t found you in these pages
And I don't believe that’s the way it is
Falling snow, letting go
Yes, I know how painful it could be

When the leaves start falling on your steps outside, you will find me out here
Stones-throw from where you think you are
I’ve been hiding away since I don’t know when, I’ll wait for you to find me
The map is hidden in the words I write
And it’s a blue world, I’ll keep you with me
And it leaves me cold, You’re making me see
Hear my heart beat louder than a thunderstorm, hold me in your silence
Gentle like a rose in summer bloom
Cosmopolitan girl knows there’s better than me, but she holds me tightly
And she says she’ll never break my heart
My heart is blue, girl, as blue as the sea
It’s broke in two, oh, I hope that you see
And I hope you’re back by the month of May, see the summer waiting
Where you said you’d never break my heart

Torch

Trying hard to talk, bury my head in my hands
Still willing to listen, you would not understand
I regret it to this day / Nothing I could say
Breaking up our dreams, I took the pieces with me
Tried to put it back together, much harder than it seemed
Would you remember me today? What more can I say?
‘Cause I’ve read your poems and I’ve been between those lines
I forget the rhythms now but that’s just between us
Don’t forget your music when you leave us behind
Sleeves and jewels might even protect you sometimes
Either way I’ll see you by next September
I’ll carry the torch so you will never be that cold
Listen for the bells I should not be here right now
They’ve already started and they’ll leave me behind
Ooh, will we come back again? Would things be the same?
These halls heard the secrets that we whispered back then
So I turn to them because I always forget
So I hope you listened well / Will you ever tell?
‘Cause I’ve seen you dancing and I’ve seen you turn away
And I’ve felt the push and pull / There’s nothing between us
You never looked for me when all the lights were turned out
No one would believe me if I told them right now
Wonder if I’ll see you by next September
I’ll carry the torch so you will never think you’re lost
Many years from now when you think back
And the memories blur together
Reaching for something that’s not there
I’ve done the same thing time and again
Dusting off the pages you’ve forgotten about
So you’ll catch a glimpse of something you had put down
Does it look the same today?

Got a handful of photographs, that remind me of the fun we had
At a lovely party on the beach and there’s something here that’s out of reach
Can’t you see? Something’s happening to me. I’m not who I used to be
Got a note you gave me then with your handwriting from your ballpoint pen
There’s a girl that boys all love to hate and I feel more like her everyday
Can’t you see? Something’s happening to me, crashing waves down by the sea
When I feel it in my heart, I don’t know where to start
Sparkle, jangle, make a scene, this badge is my authority
The airwaves made my message clear, when I speak they’ll all be listening
And they have, and it feels just like the past, who knows how long it lasts
Will the friends I made those days, find a way to try to make me stay
And I don’t feel regret in my mind, if you look you’ll see I’m doing fine
Do I seem just like you remembered me? Hope we haven’t been changing

Bitterness in May, won’t get in your way, no
The way you disappear, You won’t find me here, no
Was I wrong about you? What was I to do?
Perfumed flower dreams, not sure what it means, no
Type a million lines, wonder if they know
We’ll call each other names, never letting go
I wish it could be the beginning, I would not call that a clever ending
All your work lacks art, no one wants to feel such a heavy heart
The music in your voice, never had a choice no
Falling like the rain, when I hear your name no
Staying true to you, the person that I knew
To see your eyes again, they burn like they did then
Type a million lines, hoping they will know
We’ll call each other names, never touch the phone
I wish it could be the beginning, Anyone could write a better ending
All your work lacks art, no one wants to feel such a heavy heart
Watch time floating by, read over my lines
Marking down the years, since I saw you here
Wrote you a million lines, hoping you would know
I always call your name, never saw you go
I wish it could be the beginning, hold you close to make a better ending
I want to fall apart, I miss you so much I don’t know where to start
Wrote you a million lines, hoping you would know
I always call your name, never saw you go
I wish it could be the beginning, hold you close to make a better ending
I want to fall apart, everything you touched is a work of art

Years in silence didn’t say a word, didn’t know what you were looking for
The road was winding, but not winding down, don’t want to see the things you found
You’re never around, saying “I’ll break down if you make sound”
This time I hope you find everything you’re dreaming of and so much more
Serendipity, clarity, and open doors
Seeing things just as you saw them years before,
When you belong how could you ask for more?
Could you ask for more? / Could you ask for more?
Love and closeness didn’t feel a thing, left without saying anything
The car was waiting and your bags were packed, didn’t say if you’d be back
Don’t turn around, saying “I’ll break down if I say goodbye”
This time I know you’ll find everything you’ve dreamt about and so much more
Serendipity, clarity, and open doors
Seeing things just as you saw them years before,
When you’re gone how could you ask for more?
Serenity, purity, and gentle words
Feeling things just as you felt them years before,
When you belong how could you ask for more?
Could you ask for more?

Daydream in your art class
Watching your paints dry, you don’t know why
Your hopes and dreams pass by
Still you try, you won’t cry
You told us your lovely story
You won’t find it in books, so you won’t look
Relive your former glory
The photos that they took, it's more than looks
Darling, you wore your schoolgirl clothes, do you remember those?
I’m starting to see things crystal clear and hold these memories dear
From down here, you are an angel
A work of art, a teenage heart
The world’s so painful
We fall apart, and it will hurt
Feel like you’re growing older
Away the hours go, but you don’t know
The weight upon your shoulders
You will outgrow and let it go
Darling, the beauty lies inside, sweetness you can’t hide
You’re shining, you’re not so different now, I hope you know somehow
Darling, you wore your schoolgirl clothes, do you remember those?
I’m starting to see things crystal clear and hold these memories dear

The snow falls on the tracks
Painting white over this whole town
I've never seen no one like you
Losing track of the past
All the things that the river drowned
Who could say what isn't true?
All the years that passed us by
All the tears that you let run dry
All the fears that took over me
For the things that I didn't see
I can hear the bells ring
Shine a light over everything
You make everything so clear
I heard all the birds sing
Heard the things they were whispering
You’ll never know the things I see
All the years that passed us by
All the tears that you let run dry
All the fears that took over me
For the things that I didn't see
All the days that we both let go
All the feelings we didn’t show
All the things that we never said
And the pain we caused instead
Do-re-mi, hiding in the trees
Look to the sky, where I knew I’d find
All my dreams here
A melody, sweeter than honey
I found the sign, and a place that’s mine
I’m staying here
The snow falls on the tracks
Painting white over this whole town
I'll never see no one like you

Catch a movie close your eyes you’re half-asleep (that doesn’t mean)
Doesn’t matter what you see
Down the road you’ll find someone you long to be (so desperately)
Longing to be without me / And I’m waiting alone
Drive your car high up the road close to the moon
Your hair shines deep midnight blue
You won’t catch me when I fall you make me swoon
Could your memory be true / And I wonder
From the beginning, my heart was breaking / It was hard to talk
The eyes I saw that night will never leave my mind / Such a shame, take the blame
Our town was never right for you you’d always say (gone anyway)
You’d leave like the trees do sway
Always dreamt you’d find your hideaway someday (you want to stray)
The wind will carry you away / Now you’re waiting alone
You want the city lights, you want the towering heights
You want to stand and fight to find yourself out there
Your hands were shaking, your head was aching / Hard to walk
And what you saw that night you can’t remember right / Such a shame
From the beginning, my heart was breaking / It was hard to talk
The eyes I saw that night will never leave my mind / Such a shame,
take the blame, hesitate, Wouldn’t call it love
