Ancient Place (Intro) 01:35
lyrics

Away in an ancient place Where the sun remains behind the snow I’ll go where the earth divides And the sky is painted slowly The edges of time sharpen Make their way into view But time slows here on Mars Where Magic lights up the Moon

Magic 03:08
lyrics
buy track
So you like the way you feel in his sight A child forever watched and washed in light If you believe he will guide and forgive You're less lonely in the night a land of sin Well we're alone And I have lied I have cheated I have stolen And you say I can't go home If I don't believe in you And I've got it all wrong But there is magic in Magic in the dark And without pages I'll let magic take my heart I can't find my way around it No one knows a damn thing about it There is magic in, magic in the dark There is magic in, magic in the dark I find magic in, magic in the dark There is magic in, magic in the dark

Slow Motion 03:29
lyrics

Baby I can tell it’s been bringing you down The things we thought we’d be by now Whaddaya say whaddaya say Let’s start again Let me find a light A light in the dark Throw me the key Unbreak my heart Turn back the pages Rewrite a dream or two And do what you want to Not what you ought to Live like a child Forfeit the future Turn your today Into slow motion And slow it down I’m fallin’, fallin’ behind Hold me now, I’m drifting Could we rewind? Just take me home Take me home, tonight (Slow it down, I’m fallin’...) Tryin’ to paint a picture of the future We both believed in Tryin’ not to keep it Behind a wall of voices in the forefront I’m tryin’ to keep it up Tryin’ to believe it But would you forgive me If I let it go, let it all go Could you hold my broken heart? And slow it down I’m fallin’, fallin’ behind Hold me now, I’m drifting Could we rewind? Slow it down I’m fallin’, fallin’ behind Hold me now, I’m drifting Could we rewind? Just take me home Take me home, tonight Slow it down I’m fallin’ Hold me now I’m drifting Can we make it slow motion? Could we start again? Just take me home Take me home Mmm

Harvest (Interlude) 00:35

While you’re dreaming with a blue sky overhead An empty canvas A road that’s endless An empty moon begins to take shape from the sun And that beautiful silence of your mind Is not so quiet

Out walking in my rain boots In the grey and empty streets But the city smiles And you’re home waiting for me Manhattan take me in And wrap me ‘round from all sides Alone but not alone We’ll find our way home again Ah oh Ah oh Catch me walking with a daydream In my head and my heart Beats for me and you And every minute in between Is too long Ooh whoa Tonight We could pass the time And let it all collide ‘Cause we can’t catch it Even if we tried Forget the finish line I don’t run I let you catch me Underneath and orange sky Let the light surround We laugh until we cry Oh whoa Catch me walking with a daydream In my head and my heart Beats for me and you And every minute in between Is too long Oh whoa Tonight We could pass the time And let it all collide ‘Cause we can’t catch it Even if we tried Tonight We could make it right Slow down and see the light Maybe we could Measure time Watch the water rise Then wrap me in your arms And close it all behind us Wait for the rain The rain Wait for the rain Tonight We could pass the time And let it all collide ‘Cause we can’t catch it Even if we tried Tonight We could make it right Slow down and see the light Maybe we could (Catch me) We could pass the time (Find me) And let it all collide (Walking) ‘Cause we can’t catch it (With a daydream) Even if we tried Tonight (Catch me) We could make it right (Find me) Slow down and see the light (Walking With a daydream... Tonight (Catch me) (find me) (Walking) Maybe we could, we could (Walking with a daydream) Tonight (Catch me) We could make it right (Find me) Slow down and see the light (Walking) Maybe we could (With a daydream) Forget the finish line Forget the finish line Forget the finish line

Light my way, my way back home So I can love you now Every bit as much As I did then Pour a little salt On that wound So I can feel the heat Just like the way it was Way back when Sing out my name And make me stay Play the story out Better than we planned it In our heads Hold me keep me Don’t leave me when I’m gone Hold me keep me Don’t leave me when I’m gone Hold me keep me Don’t leave me when I’m gone Hold me keep me Don’t leave me when I’m gone Don’t leave me when I’m gone When I’m gone

I Didn't Know 04:56
lyrics

I didn’t know you would be leaving So caught up in my selfish ways You had me foolishly believing Time was on our side You were here to stay How can it be that You’re somewhere else You’re somewhere no one understands From down here Now I’m here picking up the pieces Little treasures that you left Well I’ll keep listening for that sound Watching for your face in the crowd Without you I keep tumbling down Wandering around this ghostly town Draw me a new map Take me back safe and sound I didn’t know you’d be leaving You’d be leaving us so soon No I didn’t know I would not get to ask you All I wanted to know I didn’t know I find my safety now in sleeping Where I can meet you in dreaming Was that a symphony you played? Is that something you really said? Now I find a way back to you in letters and in art you made And it’s really something that you’re here and not here What a mess we all make Well I’ll keep listening for that sound Watching for your face in the crowd Without you I keep tumbling down Wandering around this ghostly town Draw me a new map Take me back safe and sound I didn’t know you’d be leaving That you’d be leaving us so soon No I didn’t know I would not get to ask you All I wanted to know I miss you more than I can I miss you more than I can say I miss you more than I can I miss you more than I can say I didn’t know you’d be leaving You’d be leaving us so soon No I didn’t know I would not get to ask you All I wanted to know I didn’t know you’d be leaving You’d be leaving us so soon No I didn’t know I would not get to ask you All I wanted to know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know

It’s not the way that we planned It’s just the way it happened to be Now I could be your good friend Or I could cross the sea And leave you be If you need love I’ll give you love It just might look A little different now If you need love I’ll give you love It just might sound A little different now Go, and color it in ‘Til you look A little more like you again Run, and write it all down ‘Til you sound Sound like you again It’s just like the gypsy said And I should have listened But I didn’t want to know back then Could you be my good friend ‘Cause I don’t know if I can do it all alone again If you need love I’ll give you love It just might look A little different now If you need love I’ll give you love It just might sound A little different now Go, and color it in ‘Til you look A little more like you again Run, and write it all down ‘Til you sound Sound like you again Color me Color me Color me in Whoa oh oh Color me Color me Color me In Color me in I’m blind Color me in I’m black and white Color me in I’m blind Color me in I’m black and white Go, and color it in ‘Til you look A little more like you again Run, and write it all down ‘Til you sound Sound like you again Color me Color me Color me in Whoa oh oh Color me Color me Color me In It’s not the way that we planned It’s just the way it happened to be

Find me sittin’ by the lilac trees Dreaming ‘bout her and who she’ll be Could you give me just an hour or two To just do nothing like we used to do Ah ah ah Ah ah ah Find me sitting by the lilac trees Juvenile faith in fantasy Quiet now don’t make a sound Electrified, we’re lost and found They may not Remember you And they may all Forget about me A hundred years from now So why don’t we stay Just a little too long Why don’t we play Just a little too hard Why don’t fall just a little too far Then wrap me in neon Wrap me in neon Ah ah ah Oh whoa oh Oh whoa oh Could you give me just an hour or two To hold her hand while she’s brand new Patience now don’t make a sound Let me wear my phosphorescent crown They may not Remember you And they may all Forget about me A hundred years from now So why don’t we stay Just a little too long Why don’t we play Just a little too hard Why don’t fall in love just a little too far Then wrap me in neon Wrap me in neon Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa Vanish with me (Like Neon) Forget who we could be And live on memory Vanish with me (Like Neon) Forget who we could be And live on memory Vanish (Like Neon) With me (Like Neon) With me With me

You Could Be The Moon 03:51
lyrics

You could be the moon tonight You could be the sun burning tomorrow We’ve been running farther and faster Than they could believe Would you be reckless with me? I’ve been drawing ragged circles Round and round my mind In a shapeless night, foreign city, wide awake The melancholy playing cards The weary costumed for the bar Whistle for me bright eyes while you wait You could be the moon tonight You could be the sun burning tomorrow We’ve been running farther and faster Than they could believe Would you be reckless with me? Ink stained books and cups of tea You find you’re still profoundly unhappy Mercifully smile at empty sleep The eager orchestra replies Cross your heart and hope to die Or meet me in the middle Would you please? You could be the moon tonight You could be the sun burning tomorrow We’ve been running farther and faster Than they could believe Would you be reckless with me? Find her lost in silence Find him waiting at the door Find them wanting ooh ooh Find them wanting Find them wanting more You could be the moon tonight You could be the sun burning tomorrow We’ve been running farther and faster Than they could believe Would you be reckless with me? You could be the moon tonight You could be the sun burning tomorrow We’ve been running farther and faster Than they could believe Would you be reckless Would you be reckless Would you be reckless with me?

You’re beautiful, you’re perfect my child You said to me all of the time You don’t have to if you don’t want to Well how was I supposed to see a damned thing through Now she says darlin’ all I’m saying Is I want more for you I want more for you Now she says darlin’ all I’m saying Is I want more for you More for you More for you Well I’m tired of your disbelief You should know by now How good I am At keepin’ it together Yeah I know The state we’re in But you should know by now I’m never gonna give it up No no no Hey girl, you should get, you should get married You really should, or so I’m told Hey girl you should have, you should have a baby Life doesn’t really start ‘til you do Now they say darlin’ all I’m saying Is I want more for you I want more for you Now they say darlin’ all I’m saying Is I want more for you More for you More for you Well I’m tired of your disbelief You should know by now How good I am At keepin’ it together Yeah I know The state we’re in But you should know by now I’m never gonna give it up… Call me when you hit the ground But while you’re up there looking down I’ll make my way, don’t need to trade pretty favors Call me when you hit the ground But while you’re up there looking down I’ll make my way through the grey without a savior Call me when you hit the ground But while you’re up there looking down I’ll make my way, make my way, make my way Call me when you hit the ground But while you’re up there looking down I’ll make my way, make my way, make my way (Who are you? Who the hell are you?) I’m tired of your disbelief You should know by now How fucking good I am At keepin’ it together Yeah I know The state we’re in But you should know by now We’re never gonna give it up No no no

Last Call 03:26

Forget what she said Forget what he told you It’s all in your head It rattles your bones You like the way they tell you what to do But you hate the way your always listening Saw it in a dream Like a vivid scene Hey I’m listening Running in a maze Heard the music play Are you listening? The words they feed you seem like candy But when you bite down on them taste like glass You see them stare you down indifferent They could use you up Break you down Leave you in half Saw it in a dream Like a vivid scene Hey I’m listening Running in a maze Heard the music play Are you listening? Saw it in a dream Like a vivid scene Hey I’m listening Running in a maze Heard the music play Are you listening? (I am listening) (Are you listening?) Please don’t worry Please please don’t worry bout me No don’t you worry Don’t don’t you worry bout me Please don’t worry Please please don’t worry ‘bout me No don’t you worry Don’t don’t you worry ‘bout me Saw it in a dream Like a vivid scene Hey I’m listening Running in a maze Heard the music play Are you listening?
