On These Tracks

Overcome, I’m tired now

I’ve kept my smile lifted for hours

It’s time to sleep

Will you come lie with me?

Let your presence be the warmth to ease the cold of my pain

High and low, this rhythm never changes

I wrote you a letter and you ripped the pages

There go the pieces of my heart

It’s beginning to get comfortable in the dark

My life is racin’ on these tracks

I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home

I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

There’s this voice I’ve been hearing lately

It whispers words that frighten me

“This is it. This is all there is.”

I crawl under the covers and hide ‘til the light wakes me

There are simply too many questions

How can I rest?

I’ve been running so long

When am I allowed to take a breath?

I wish you’d appear by my side and press me to your heart all night

My life is racin’ on these tracks

I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home

I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

(Piano)

Empty moments, anticipated sighs

Blank surprises, unexpected cries

Losing the game despite my tries

A candle flame slowly dies

Why, oh why can’t I just be with you?

My life is racin’ on these tracks

I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home

I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

Because wherever you are, babe, is where I belong

Haunted

Guy:
Where am I now in this time and space?
All I want is to see your face
Hold my breath, count to ten, hope you show up
So much emotion 'cause I'm missin' you, I just might blow up
People talk, holidays come around, seasons change
Life is empty without you here, babe

What broke this strongly beating heart?
It's wasn't you, it wasn't me
But now we're in the dark

Guy&Girl:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane
Invisible memories causing physical pain
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone
Haunted by what I've lost

Girl:
There's no point in trying to sleep it through
My pillow's damp with ache for you
I get no rest morning through night in this circle of sadness
No coffee, drug, run, time, can numb me from this madness
And I'm too magnetized to your pictures
Can't throw them away, babe

What tore this perfect rose apart?
It wasn't you, it's wasn't me
But there lie two bleeding hearts


Guy&Girl:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane
Invisible memories causing physical pain
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy:
There you are beside me now
I'm afraid to lean in and kiss your lips

Girl:
I don't know what to say
I'm afraid if I exhale you'll fade away

Guy&Girl:
Damn the world for leaving me no escape

Guy:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name

Girl:
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane

Guy:
Invisible memories causing physical pain

Girl:
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?

Guy:
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone

Girl:
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy:
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy&Girl:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane
Invisible memories causing physical pain
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy:

Where am I now in this time and space?

Girl:

All I want is to see your face

Lonely Wisher

I wish I could have coffee to keep me alive
I wish I could tell you exactly what I'm feeling inside
These words aren't coming out right

I wish I could lie down and drift away on a cloud
I wish I could let go of my regrets and smile like I'm proud
But I'm holding myself each night

It gets lonely wishing on a star when you realize it's billions of miles
from where you are

I wish I didn't care as much as I always do
I wish I knew how to forget how much I shared with you
Too many lies and rarely any truths

I wish this reflection would understand itself
I wish I wasn't afraid to ask for at least a little help
I'm shaking, can you tell?


It gets lonely wishing on a star when you realize it's billions of miles
from where you are

I wish you weren't so far away

I wish I had the strength to pull through the day

I wish this heart wouldn't ache

I wish I could take back all my mistakes

I wish these wishes wouldn't die away

It gets lonely wishing on a star when you realize it's billions of miles
from where you are

It gets lonely wishing on a star when you realize it's billions of miles
from where you are

Barely Awake

I've convinced myself now that the sun will always rise and set
It doesn't matter what you've been through at the time
But why doesn't time forget?
I've chased wisps of clouds like you asked me to
I held on tight, I lived for you
And yet somehow the fog inside my mind thickens
The noose tightens, oh
I remember cradling your heart in my hands gently
I would've taken your burdens away, but you wouldn't let me
And these nights grow colder now
How dare the sun come out

I'm barely awake
There's something I've let go of
But I'll be okay
At least that's what I'll say

There are creases in these sheets that will never ever disappear
Like the sounds of your whispers in my ear
But I doubt you remember at all
These hands still hold you closely in a frame
I still stroke your hair, still call your name
But this room echoes all night and I know I'm alone
How do I get home?
I remember drifting in paradise so happily
Too naive to realize promises aren't often made loyally
And now I just stare at the scars
Trying to hear my numb heart


I'm barely awake
There's something I've let go of
But I'll be okay
At least that's what I'll say

A silence hangs heavily here
Wherever I run, I cannot escape my fear
That history will repeat itself and I'll suffer this hell again
How do I overlook my pain?
Lying on the ground without making a sound
Am I even breathing?


I'm barely awake
(Fading away)
There's something I've let go of
(I let go)
But I'll be okay
At least that's what I'll say
(At least that's what I'll say)
(Repeat x1)
