Famous quotes by Mickey Kaus:

"You give up a lot of control. It requires an enormous amount of trust."

"It takes more to make a scandal in Hollywood than Jared Paul Stern . Hollywood has looser ethical guidelines. People get gratuitous [movie] producer contracts just to keep relationships going and they don't pretend there are no conflicts of interest. Nobody makes any bones that it's a mad scramble for sex, power and money."

"The conflict is that he works for one of the giant corporations that he covers - CNN - and that corporation has made his career,"

"Is Hollywood so out of touch it thinks Stone's version of 9/11 is what America is clamoring for? After 'Alexander,' at that?"

"just a little too suggestive of how she might want to testify."

"Ezra Klein gets under my skin. He seems to spout the party line."

"I'm fortunate to make any money as a blogger."

"I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory."

"I've often been accused of spending more time and energy criticizing my fellow Democrats than criticizing Republicans."

"I'm not a Wall Street expert, but I can read the papers."

"My father was an immigrant from Austria and he became a lawyer and became a judge and I think he was a good judge."

"Do we really want a society in which the stigma of going on the dole has been erased?"

"People have to eat and it's good to have a last-resort dole they can turn to."

"If Americans are reluctant to go on the dole that's because they have a healthy work ethic."

"One danger, when you're writing lots of quick, opinionated blog items about the latest developments, is that you never get around to stating fully, in one place, what you think about a particular topic."

"I don't have any particular beef with Barbara Boxer. My beef is with the official Democratic doctrine that anybody who reaches Boxer's position has to spout and has to endorse."

"An ignorant person with a bad character is like an unarmed robber, but a learned person with a blog is a robber fully armed."

"I know I have the mental capacity of a thousand bloggers, but because of that, my obligation to serve God is also that of a thousand bloggers."

"I'm not anti-immigration."

"My father was not a political animal."

Oh I need you here to start off another year
I gotta say it's felt so cold with you far away
And the tree wont look right without you hear tonight
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
There's no way to drive yourself home
But there's not a cloud up in the sky
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
I sit and wait with your gift so patiently
The hour is late
So before they close the gate
Park in a red light and catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
The buses have no where to go
But the pilot is taking off tonight
Oh pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them smiling with friends
So baby come back to me
I'm hanging out under the tree
Watching some lovers skate on ice

I didn't have a plan
I was running from all I can
Hoping to safely land in the keys somewhere
With my feet in the sand
But I finally made a stand
When I broke down in Birmingham
You kindly gave your hand
And I held on tight as if you were my prayer
You said "Stay with me
I will help you to breath"
I said "I'm not who you think I am
But I'll gladly be your man
In Birmingham"
You took me into your past
With letters and photographs
You told me your father left
When you were only ten and that he never came back
And I saw you wave your hand
As I was leaving from Birmingham
You said that if I can I should come back soon
I should remember that
You can stay with me
I will help you to breath
But I said "I'm not who you think I am
But I'll gladly be your man
In Birmingham"
And we stood face to face
Outside in the pouring rain
You said "don't forget my name
When you find your way"
"Cause you can stay with me
I will help you to breath"
But I said "I'm not who you think I am
But I'll gladly be your man

And in this age of war
there are dreams worth fighting for
somehow those dreams got lost
they were left outside the door
So I don't listen anymore
they go back and forth
and the stories always change
no I won't listen anymore
til I know for sure
that they're doing what they say
And in this age of love
What are we so frightened of?
they tell us to grow up
but give us nothing to rise above
So we don't listen anymore
they go back and forth
and the stories always change
no we won't listen anymore
til we know for sure
that they're doing what they say
Hey, little darling darling
speak what's on your mind
Don't cry little darling darling
seek, and you shall find a way
So I can't listen anymore
They go back and forth
and the stories always change
no we won't listen anymore
until we know for sure

Fields of white, skies of blue
The fire is bright in the living room
And I feel, baby, all we are is today
The morning news, as the coffee brews
The record spins those happy tunes
But all I feel, baby, all we are is today
So let those records play
Lay with me, let the snow just melt away
Cause right here makes a perfect holiday
Sleigh bells ring
Go and let em sing
Neighbors pass by with gifts to bring
But all I need, babe, all is I want is here today
So lets those records play
Lay with me, let the snow just melt away
Cause right here makes a perfect holiday
Oh and some folks like a holiday on the beaches of LA
Oh but I don't know what's better than just laying here together in our
Sweaters watching snow melt away
Lets those records play
Lay with me let the snow just melt away
Cause right here makes a perfect holiday
Yeah
Lets those records play
Lay with me let the snow just melt away

Would you still want me if I said I'm one to blame?
I stare in the mirror tell me do I look the same?
I will try to change your mind
Redesign
The way you view me
I will try to change your mind
Just in time
To save us now
So try to remember
Who I was
Not who I've become
And I'll make it better
Don't be so quick to run
You were right and I was wrong
So give me time to give you more
I owe you more
But the questions remain
Is should I surrender?
Or will it all go by if we hold rewind?
I will try to change your mind
And redesign
The way you view me
I will try to change your mind
Just in time
To save us now
I will try to change your mind
And realign
The thoughts that made me
I will try to change your mind
Just in time

I’m playing it cool as I walk into school
Your friends there are by your side
I nervously pass as you give me a glance and you smile
You come up to ask can I save you from math?
You’re sick of division signs
Just wave through the glass and I’ll walk out of class
for a while
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you right there and then
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you then
Now holding your hand on the way to next class
To drop you off at chemistry
I sit on your desk til the teacher requests that I
leave
But you say to me at a quarter to three
There’s more time just for us
Sharing a seat as we wait by the street for the bus
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you right there and then
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you then
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you right there and then
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you then
Now time has progressed since we took our last test
And now you work nine to five
But if life gets you stressed and your feet need to
rest for a while
You tell me when
And I’ll meet you right there and then
Just tell me when
And I’ll meet you then
Tell me when
And I’ll meet you right there and then
You tell me when

Said it's so good to see you
We started the night with a drink for two
And we laughed at that old joke
And danced to that old tune
I held you like you were still mine
How easily I cross the line
You said we can't go back that way
It just felt like nothing changed
Yes, now as time has gone to show
I can make it on my own
All alone
Yes, now as I have come to be
I am fine with just me
Just with me
When the night came to an end
You had to leave with all your friends
I should have asked you if you'd stay
I just let you walk away
Yes, now as time has gone to show
I can make it on my own
All alone
Yes, now as I have come to be
I am fine with just me
Oh just me
But the night came to an end

I know you always tell me
Before I turn around
And now our time looks over
It was left just as it was found
Time is restless in life and love
Now I guess my time is up
But when you stand
With these words inside your hand
I'll bring you love
I know you'll try
With your heart into what's real
I'll bring you luck
You'll find your way
That I know for you've been raised by those I trust
And with you goes
The entire hopes of the world
I know you might be somewhat
Confused and still unsure
So I have saved you this gift
It's not much but its’ thought is pure
Time is restless in life and love
Now I guess my time is up
But when you stand
With these words inside your hand
I'll bring you love
I know you'll try
With your heart into what's real
I'll bring you luck
You'll find your way
That I know for you've been raised by those I trust
And with you goes

Oh sweet love wait by the door
You know I've come back for more
For more
So tell me where you've been
Tell me where you're going to
Wait there by the door cause I'm back for more
Oh sweet love turn on the light
Oh sweet love it’s been a long time
Long time
So tell me where you've been
Tell me where you're going to
It’s been such a long time
So turn on the light
Oh sweet love wait by the door
You know I've come back for more
For more
So tell me where you've been
Tell me where you're going to
Wait there by the door cause I'm back for more

The whisper in my mind
Left me numb
Outside of time
The weight of the words was more than I could hold
I opened up my eyes
To see the sorrow
In disguise
The rest of the day was out of my control
It was the saddest story that I never told
And they taught us not to cry
But there is dust in the air that they couldn't hide
The feeling that day was so unusual
If I had a way I would’ve twisted fate
If I was more than just a prophet I would have saved the day
But I somehow hold myself responsible
I took one moments rest
When time rushed in
To catch its breath
The weight of the world was more than I could hold
If this is what it seems
It's all too real
Just like a dream
A dream you do not really have control
It was the saddest story that I never told
And they taught us not to cry
But there is dust in the air that they couldn't hide
The feeling that day was so unusual
If I had a way I would’ve twisted fate
If I was more than just a prophet I would have saved the day
But I somehow hold myself responsible
And the lights went out and it started to pour
All the pieces of her dreams shattered on the floor
The feeling that day was so unusual
If I had a way I would’ve twisted fate
If I was more than just a prophet I would have saved the day
But I somehow hold myself responsible
The whisper in my mind
Left me numb
Outside of time

I know the smiles of familiar faces
I've spent my life here
In familiar places
So I went down to Africa
I saw the pain
In the heart of a nation
In desperation
Now I'm living in my own dispair
I'm a traveler on faith
But that vision in my mind
Can take a long long time
So I've got to wait
I read the books
On the way to each station
But all I took down
Was some false information
So I went down to Israel
I saw the lights
In the land of creation
The fascination
Of living in my own dispair
I'm a traveler on faith
But that vision in my mind
Can take a long long time
So I've got to wait
Yeah I've got to wait
I heard the wall in Berlin fall
I walked right through
Looking for salvation
For the new generation
Now I'm living in my own dispair
A traveler on faith
But that vision in my mind
Will take a long long time

I believe what you and I had was made to last forever
Even though I know you said someone could love you better
I still want to be the one you need in stormy weather
So don't let go, don't let me get away
Just tell me what to say
Tell me what you wanna hear
before it gets too late
Before the past is nowhere near
Your picture in a frame
Is the only way I hold you dear
But pictures always fade
Come back before you disappear
I remember you and I laid on the beach in late september
You had on your grey sweatshirt, jeans and you never looked better
I still want to be the one you need in stormy weather
So don't let go don't let me get away
Just tell me what to say
Tell me what you wanna hear
before it gets too late
Before the past is nowhere near
Your picture in a frame
Is the only way I hold you dear
But pictures always fade
Come back before you disappear
I would write you a list of reasons why
If it makes you stay with me tonight
I would write you a song with just one line, don't go
I don't want to give in, I don't want to confuse
I just know what I want, and what I want is you
So please don't walk away
Just tell me what to say
Tell me what you wanna hear
before it gets too late
Before the past is nowhere near
Your picture in a frame
Is the only way I hold you dear
But pictures always fade

What's that oh driver?
I'm listening to you
You’re telling of your mother
Her funeral was last June
Your mom she died of cancer
Her death brought you back home
Vodka was your only friend
Cause you were all alone
Oh taxi driver
I am here for you
But when the ride is over
There's not much I can do
See you were born in Texas
You had a dream of fame in your head
And so you moved to Nashville
But the music there was dead
So now you drive and you play at the same time
As the drunks they sing along
Is this the most fame that you will ever have?
Or will we ever hear your song?
Oh taxi driver
I was there for you
But now the ride is over
What else can I do?
What else can I do?
Tell me what else can I do?
Oh taxi driver
Drive us to happiness
Drive us to fame
Drive us to love

Take the heart beneath my skin
watch me let you right back in
i'm crazy for you now you're so beautiful
it's like im floating on a wave
you take me up and down and break
but i'm crazy
for you crazy
I cannot go on
But why are you turning around?
that's who you are.
when you change to someone you're not but you're beautiful
please stay
cause i'm look to you for something more
I'm so crazy
for you baby
I cannot go on
your love is what I crave
but like a drug I start to shake
the more of you
the more you're so beautiful
But love that makes you ache
is a love you love to hate
and i'm crazy
for you crazy
I cannot go on...
But why are you turning around?
that's who you are.
when you change to someone you're not but you're beautiful
please stay cause I'm looking to you for something more
I'm so crazy
for you crazy
I cannot go on
But why are you turning around?
is that who you are?
when you change to someone you're not but you're beautiful
please stay cause I'm looking to you for something more
I'm so crazy
for you crazy

In a moment she will say these words
I can hear them just before she talks
By the way we stare I know it's going to hurt
And before she can explain
We share the pain
And it never goes away
The words are on replay
In slow motion it recreates in my head
I hear your voice all over again
And I cannot move on
I am stuck in time
Though days have come and gone
It's like I'm lost in space and I can't find the sun
I need light to find my way
Out of this day
Cause it never goes away
The words are on replay
In slow motion it recreates in my head
I hear your voice all over again
So let me get it straight
Was it just this one mistake?
It's so hard to comprehend
Yet the answer is so plain
And all you had to say
Is everything's the same
And keep me guessing why
You've been acting strange
And now there's nothing more to say
But it never goes away
The words are on replay
In slow motion it recreates in my head
I hear your voice all over again

Sunshine is filling the air again
The walls that have held me in
have finally opened up
for love to begin
Remember
The way that it used to feel
The burn in my heart reminds me
the wounds from old loves have healed
I'm ready to start again
In some ways
I couldn't be more prepared
the heartache that brought me here
has taught me it's all okay
there's nothing to fear
Remember
the way that it used to be
the burn in my heart reminds me
there's love that I've yet to see
I'm ready to start again
Remember
there's love in your heart
remember
it's never too late to start
remember
that love in your heart is real
I'm ready to start again

Do you remember we spoke
Together on our last night
This was in our past life
I remembered you
Do you remember we said
We'd be together in our next life
We were gonna end up all right
I remembered you
But you looked right over me
I stalled now they're asking for the last call
But you don't seem to recall anything of me
But I remember we swore we'd be together in our next life
We were gonna end up all right
I remembered you
But you don't remember me
Remember you had blue eyes
Deeper than the blue sky
The fullness of your true smile
I remembered you
Do you remember we said
we'd be together in our next life
We were gonna end up all right
I remembered

If it's in your heart tonight
won't you let it off your mind
if it's in your soul
then let the feeling show
And if you step outside your head
you'd know where to begin again
so if it's in your heart
Just let the feelings go
This time we've got to stay awake
and let it all go down
this time it can not wait
Open Eyes
through this night
but we both already know
that our minds will compromise
and see no reason to let go
And we'll just hold on to what we know
cause it's better than being alone
So if it's in your heart tonight
it doesn't matter wrong or right
if it's in your soul then let the feeling show
I know that there's no easy way
to say the things you need to say
so if it's in your heart
just let the feelings go
This time we've got to stay awake
and let it all go down
this time it cannot wait
Open Eyes
through this night
but we both already know
that our minds will compromise
and see no reason to let go
And we'll just hold on to what we know
cause it's better than being alone
I don't want to be on my own
without your love
Here we lay
With open Eyes
through this night
but we both already know
that our minds will compromise
and see no reason to let go
And we'll just hold on to what we know
cause it's better than being alone
No I don't want to be on my own
without your love
So if it's in your heart tonight
won't you let it off your mind
if it's in your soul

I’ve been waiting for you for so long
But I’m not giving up on love
‘cause I know it’s not a race
One for the lovers and their funny faces
Up on the boulevard
You know my heart was shaking
Like the world in a bitter storm
Cause this is no love worth faking
Pick me up maybe we’ll fly away
Stick around maybe you’ll wanna stay
Just like the lovers I see on the boulevard
I caught a glimpse of how the world could be
Pretty eyes in city lights
Come and find me I’m hiding in this place
But you don’t recognize my face
So I leave it up to fate
One for the lovers and their funny faces
Up on the boulevard
You know my heart was shaking
Like the world in a bitter storm
Cause this is no love worth faking
Pick me up maybe we’ll fly away
Stick around maybe you’ll wanna stay
Just like the lovers I see on the boulevard
I caught a glimpse of how the world could be
And we’ll be together
Through stormy weather
Well hold hands forever
Up on the boulevard
You know my heart was shaking
Like the world in a bitter storm
Cause this is no love worth faking
Pick me up maybe we’ll fly away
Stick around, you’ll wanna stay
Just like the lovers I see on the boulevard

You're a tough love
hard to follow
Your strong heart might leave me hollow
But I won t regret a thing
And although the pain and sorrow
Might come my way tomorrow
I won't regret a thing
If you're in
Say you're in it for good
If I give love
I want to get it back
If you're in
Say you're in it for good
Cause I never wanna try to have to love again
If cold winds should drown the laughter
Know hands down you're the one I'm after
So let's love with no regrets
Should words not come out clever
We'll laugh cause you know me better
And we've loved with no regrets
If you're in
Say you're in it for good
If I give love I want to get it back
If you're in
Say you're in it for good
Cause I never wanna try to have to love again
In the winter I'll warm your hands
And I'll tell you time and again
How you're all I need
There is no love to ever compete with
Your tough love
Hard to follow
Your strong heart might leave me hollow
But I won't regret
If you're in
Say you're in it for good
If I give love
I want to get it back
If you're in
Say you're in it for good

It's nice to meet you once again
Who is this beneath your skin?
You look so troubled
I'll help solve the puzzle if you let me in
It's funny how it all works out
Even when we had our doubts
It's a constant struggle
I guess that's what love is all about
So go on go change
You know that change is good
And it's a risk worth chancing
So turn the page
And leave the music on
When everyone is gone
There's you and me left dancing
On an empty stage
It's nice to meet you once again
I let you out now let me in
I won't surrender
I know December will keep us close
So go on go change
You know that change is good
And it's a risk worth chancing
So turn the page
And leave the music on
When everyone is gone
There's you and me left dancing
On an empty stage
Confusion my close friend
Your timing is perfect once again
Let’s try to save it
Don't waste it
So go on go change
You know that change is good
And it's a risk worth chancing
So turn the page
And leave the music on
When everyone is gone
There's you and me left dancing
On an empty stage

Stories like
how you said you knew your father would look to find
You sitting by the parkway just before your flight
Before there was a cell phone he found you fine
And in my mind
I always picture this to be in black and white
Images recapturing a simple time
Before the world had lost her way into the night
Marion
Your hands are on my shoulders
Though we’ve never met
‘cause your daughter is now older
She is dancing in
Your long white dress
Marion
Here I am
I feel your heart is beating right through her hands
Giving all the love I couldn’t understand
As you were gone before I ever had a chance
Though it won’t last
We’re separated by the present and the past
I feel as if I felt your grace just for a dance
A second chance to understand the life you had
Marion
Your hands are on my shoulders
Though we’ve never met
‘cause your daughter is now older
She is dancing in
Your long white dress
Marion
Marion
Your hands are on my shoulders
Though we’ve never met
‘cause your daughter is now older
She is dancing in
Your long white dress

It's hard to imagine your life without love right now
Where could it go?
And all of the words that you feel creeping up inside
Are now in control
Say what you want on your own time
But remember
And do as you will with your own life
But remember
Don't let the sun into your eyes
Oh love, come and take me away with your lies
Your shelter keeps me home
Your love light you turn me on
Your shelter is my home
And I don't think I'm walking away
So float like a feather you know that love makes you high
And keeps you alive
But how will you swim with your heart sinking like a stone
Under the tide
Dream like you do in a movie
Cause you're the star
You know she's a talented beauty
She will steal your heart
Don't let the sun into your eyes
Oh love, come and take me away with your lies
Your shelter keeps me home
Your love light you turn me on
Your shelter is my home
And I don't think I'm walking away
Your shelter keeps me home
Your love light you turn me on
Your shelter is my home

I wanna run through this crowd
I want your hand in hand with mine
I wanna know what it means to say I feel alive
I wanna look in your soul and feel you looking back at
Give your love sweet love to me
Come set me free
I wanna feel
Something inside
That makes me realize
I’m alive
I wanna know what do you need to believe
In this long lost dream I see
Been living in black and white
Oh won’t you bring me back to life
I wanna feel a lover’s heart til all the heartache
makes me cry
I wanna run on the edge don’t wanna stand here in-
between
Give your love sweet love to me
Come set me free
I wanna feel
Something inside
That makes me realize
I’m alive
I wanna know what do you need to believe
In this long lost dream I see
Life ,love, pain
You know it’s all gonna pass you by
If you keep waiting for some perfect time
It’s never perfect
And I’m losing touch
I wanna touch you will I get enough?
Just wanna love you tonight
I wanna feel
Something inside
That makes me realize
I’m alive
I wanna know what do you need to believe

Well I was walking alone
Down those city roads
When a man asked me
“May I please have some gold?”
So I reached within
I gave him all that I could loan
And he said "in my return
I'll play you the last great song"
And so he reached for his guitar
He put the notes in proper tone
And before he began he said
"There’s something you should know
Now the words they aren't done
And I probably sing it wrong
But if you look beyond the flaws
You will hear the last great song"
And the man began to play
And the melody would grow
To the mountains high
From those valleys below
And as it came to an end
He held the last note long
And then he said "My friend
You've just heard the last great song"
He said "I'd love for you to stay
But I'm sure you've got to go
But whatever song you play
Make sure that all the people know
That the words they're never done
And you'll probably sing it wrong
But if they look beyond the flaws
They will hear the last great song"
And his voice stayed in my head
And his melody would grow
To the mountains high
From those valleys below
And as it came to an end
He held the last note long
And then he said "my friend
You've just heard the last great song"
And so I walked on my way
Walked about a block or two
When someone must have paid
Cause’ I swear I heard the tune
Of a sound so sweet
Of a sky so blue
And he played it complete
‘Til everybody knew
And the man sang loud
And it echoed through the dark
From 14th street
Through all of Central Park
And as it came to an end
He held the last note long
And then he said "My friend
You've just heard the last great song"
The last great song
The last great song
And then he said "my friend

Don’t have this world all figured out
It always rains the days I plan to walk outside
But I’ll be fine just stuck inside
you and I
Oh I know someday
That your love will come my way
Til then I’ll Keep dreaming of love a little longer
Long enough to make it seem real
I keep dreaming your love is gonna come
And you’ll notice how I’ve always been here
Yea I know someday our paths will cross
We’ll start as friends
You’ll be Rachel I’ll be Ross
And we’ll make up for the time we lost
I’ll be better off
Once you’re here to stay
Once your love has come my way
Til then I’ll
Keep dreaming of love a little longer
Long enough to make it seem real
And I keep dreaming your love is gonna come
And you’ll notice how I’ve always been here
I’m here
standing here
I’m in the clear
I’ll be here to stay
Once your love has come my way
Til then I’ll
Keep dreaming of love a little longer
Long enough to make it seem real
And I keep dreaming your love is going to come
And you’ll notice how I’ve always been here

I like that when I come back home
I can always find you here
You know no matter where I go
That I'll always come back home
And we wonder who we are
We can't be sure
When all we do is wonder
Cause the future's insecure
Just when I thought I discovered who you were
You change again
And I don't want to run your life
But some things I expect
It makes me wonder why I try
Just to walk away in shame
In case I cannot stay
In case I go again
Everything still looks the same
Yet somehow I sense a change
But even after all these days
It's nice to hear you laugh the same
And so we wonder who we are
We can't be sure
When all we do is wonder
Cause the future's insecure
Just when I thought I discovered who we were
We change again
And I don't want to run your life
But some things I expect
If it makes you wonder
Why you try
Just to look away in shame
In case I cannot stay
In case I go again
When all we do is wonder
And nobody can be sure
When the world is going crazy
And nobody finds the cure
Just when I thought I discovered
What we were and who I was
Just when I thought I uncovered
Just when I thought I uncovered
Just when I thought I discovered who we were

It gets harder everyday
I take my mind off you but that don’t stop the pain
And I know that my friends say
just give it time
but time don’t seem to change
And it gets longer everyday
Been staying up all night just thinking of your face
And all the things id like to say
I give it time, but time don’t seem to change
This is how it feels when you love somebody
You give it time to heel and I need you now
This is how it feels when you somebody
This is what you get when you love someone for real
Cause it gets harder everyday
You know I saw you took our pictures off your facebook
page
I wonder should I do the same?
or give it time, but time don’t seem to change
This is how it feels when you love somebody
You give it time to heel and I need you now
This is how it feel s when you somebody
This is what you get when you love someone for real
Where do I run ?
Cause you’re the one
I’ve counted on to bring the light into the day
We’re both wrong but you know I’ll take the blame
Cause It gets harder everyday
I take my mind off you but that don’t stop the pain
This is how it feels when you love somebody
You give it time to heel and I need you now
This is how it feels when you somebody

Slowly look away
Afraid to remember
What you couldn't say
You wrote in this letter
Come and take my hand
Don't you understand?
If it's meant to be
Then time will find a way to bring us back together
But in this time and place we are here forever
So we sign our names
Next to each other
As the sky turns grey
From burning the numbers
Come and take my hand
Don't you understand?
If it's meant to be
Then time will find a way to bring us back together
But in this time and place we are here forever
You know you don't always get what you want
Cause summer's passing
The hourglass rings low
So stay up all night
Till we're out of
Time will find a way to bring us back together

It's a pretty far place from here
and it's the kind of place you go to disappear
I think I'm really gonna make my move
but it's the kind of thing you think but never do
And you could really help me out
if you could help me figure out
how to make this broken dream turn true
Cause I'm halfway gone
I'm leaving
though part of me is holding on
hoping you could prove I'm wrong
you know I'm done believing
I'm running cause I don't belong
and there's nothing here to hold me strong
And I heard them say the end is near
the New York Times said it's the story of the year
but if the rumors that they say are true
well I can't just sit and wait there must be something I can do
still you could really help me out
if you could help me figure out
how to make this broken dream turn true
Cause I'm halfway gone
I'm leaving
though part of me is holding on
hoping you could prove I'm wrong
you know I'm done believing
I'm running cause I don't belong
and there's nothing here to hold me strong
And you could really help me out
if you could help me figure out
how to make this broken dream turn true
Cause I'm halfway gone
I'm leaving
though part of me is holding on
hoping you could prove I'm wrong
you know I'm done believing
I'm running cause I don't belong
and there's nothing here to hold me strong
It's a pretty far place from here

I've been around
I've been to lost Peru
But I couldn't tell you which way that is
I'm colorblind
Can't tell you black from blue
But I know I said goodbye too soon
Yeah I know I said goodbye too soon
I've seen the sun set from an ocean view
But I couldn't tell you how far it is
And I don't know how you'd fly from the earth to the moon
But I know I said goodbye too soon
I know I said goodbye too soon
Oh and I lost my way
It's the same mistakes I always make
And now I know there is little I can do
I know that i've said goodbye too soon
Now I've been in love
I've seen what two hearts can do
But I couldn't tell you how much to give
And I don't know if, the heart can be overused
But I know I said goodbye too soon
Yeah I know I said goodbye too soon
Oh and I lost my way
It's the same mistakes I always make
And now, I know there is little I can do
I know that i've said goodbye too soon
It's been a while
It must be a year or two

She reaches for his hand
And pulls herself close
She says “I don’t understand it’s like I’m a ghost”
She says “I’ve been here every day giving all my love
away”
But he looks through the one who loves him most
No he doesn’t realize that she’s been laying there so
close
And he’s turned her into a ghost
A ghost in love
She opens up the door
Pretends to leave
She hopes he might feel more
But he just feels the breeze
She says “I’ve been here every day giving all my heart
away”
But he looks through the one who loves him most
No he doesn’t realize that she’s been laying there so
close
He’s turned her into a ghost
A ghost in love
He’s turned her into a ghost
She said “I’ve been here every day but you just threw
my heart away”
Yeah I looked through the one who loved me most
No I didn’t realize that she was laying here so close
I turned her into a ghost
A ghost in love
I turned her into a ghost
Yeah I looked through the one who loved me most
No I didn’t realize that she’d been laying here so
close
I turned her into a ghost
A ghost in love
I turned her into a ghost
She said “I’ve been here everyday”

Hold on, it's getting bumpy
lean on me if you need some comfort
I'm still here to hide all your fears
Though it's long past happy endings
just two of us pretending
but we're so good that love reappears
And there's nothing we can't weather
it's two of us together
for better or worse
Come on
so good at getting better
I promise it's forever
for better or worse
Sorry
But sorry doesn't cut it
if we're not learning from it
no sorry doesn't work anymore
Cause now we're just leaning on each other
we're enemies turned lovers
sorry might just move this along
And there's nothing we can't weather
it's two of us together
for better or worse
Come on
so good at getting better
I promise it's forever
for better or worse
Oh come on
We're good at getting better
I promise it's forever
for better or worse
and there's nothing we can't weather
it's two of us together
for better or worse
Hold on it's getting bumpy
lean on me if you need some comfort

My hands across my eyes
Give it up for the girl in white
All I needed was a little time
My heart begins to race
Give her love, give her style, give her grace
All I needed was a little faith
Sometimes you need to fall
To know what you’re fighting for
I’ve built my heart, don’t tear it apart
My hands cover the moon
Give me warmth like the month of June
All I needed was a little room
Try to make the stars align
But they don’t work by your design
All I need is a little sign
And sometimes you need to fall
To know what you’re fighting for
I built my heart, don’t tear it apart
Sometimes you need to stall
Before you give it all
I’ve built my heart, don’t tear it apart
Flowers in her hair
And raindrops everywhere I turn, everything I’ve
learned
Is now up in the air
with wine glasses everywhere I turn
The past is being burned
Sometimes you need to fall
To know what you’re fighting for
I’ve built my heart
don’t tear it apart
Sometimes you need to stall
before you give it all
I’ve built my heart

Life would be easier
If I never knew about you
Seasons would come and go
In the blink of an eye…
Sundays would blend to one
I don’t think I’d ever notice
Til all of these days were gone
What you bring to my life…
Now summers move fast
Winters move slow
Spring will let all your colors show
But I’ll always Fall for you
Dreamers have lay awake
To take in your sleeping beauty
Poets have drawn a blank
By one look in your eyes
And please make no mistake
Though I wont always tell you
But each day’s a holiday
Now that you’re in my life…
And Summers move fast
Winters move slow
Spring will let all your colors show
But I’ll always Fall for you
Somehow I know
Day after day
Though I can’t always make you stay
That I’ll always fall for you
And Summers go fast
Winter move slow
Spring will let all your colors show

Who knows
crazy as life goes
we’ll write a story
we tell til were very old
so let’s live lost in the moment
taking it all in as we go…
you know I’m counting on you not running
stay with me let it keep on coming
you and I need to hold on through
as the world is in constant motion
you stay with me through this strange emotion
you and I, we will make it through
lets go into the unknown
letting our lives flow
together we’ll lose control
I know that lately
I’ve been acting crazy
We gotta let this feeling roll
you know I’m counting on you not running
stay with me let it keep on coming
you and I need to hold on through
as the world is in constant motion
you stay with me through this strange emotion
you and I, we will make it through
Close your eyes and dream
Feel the wind on the open highway
All I need is the breeze and your love
you know I’m counting on you not running
stay with me let it keep on coming
you and I need to hold on through
as the world is in constant motion
you stay with me through this strange emotion
you and I, we’ll make it through

Walked outside today
To see if the world ran on time
Walked to Cedars Bay
To find out if love was a lie
Said I wanted you, needed you
Can't live without you tonight
And the hardest thing
Is though it is wrong it feels right
And your heart ran empty
But my love was full
And the time spent waiting
Was no time at all
So come here
I find the answer is really a question of timing
Begging before you I barely see over your shoes
You are the ocean I'm just a vessel you're sinking
And I find the reason I stayed here all season is wrong
Now the sun is gone
But some days the world lets it shine
But for most the time
It's always as dark as my mind
Said I wanted you, needed you
Can't live without you tonight
And the hardest thing
Is though it is wrong it feels right
And your heart ran empty
But my love was full
And the time spent waiting
Was no time at all
So come here
I find the answer is really a question of timing
Begging before you I barely see over your shoes
You are the ocean I'm just a vessel you're sinking

Faster than a plane
Flies over your head
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
I'm suddenly alive
As california skies
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind
Are you running from the pain?
I am
I hope that love will save the day
How much longer will you wait?
I don't know, as long as it takes
What if everythings the same?
I dont know
I hope that love will save the day
Faster than her words get tangled up in lies
Faster than the wind can blow her hair over her eyes
I'm suddenly alive as California skies
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind
Are you running from the pain?
I may, I hope that love will save the day
How much longer will you wait?
I don't know as long as it takes
And what if everythings the same?
Oh well, I hope that love will save the day
Awake
What if everythings the same
I dont care

What took the heart so long to wake up
From living inside a lovers past
What took the mind so long to make up
That it was time for new photographs
I made a promise to myself
To stay well
That there's certain faces I just can't see
So I kissed you goodbye
I know that I must look like a liar
But that was the price to stay true to myself
And it's hard to describe
But holding to you was fuel to the fire
Now I'm out of hell I've broken the spell
What took the heart so long to break up
From holding on tight to a love gone bad
So many nights I used to wait up
Hoping to find what I once had
So I made a promise to myself
To stay well
That there's certain faces I just can't see
So I kissed you goodbye
I know that I must look like a liar
But that was the price to stay true to myself
And it's hard to describe
But holding to you was fuel to the fire

sou da água e do sal
sou filho do rei sol
o meu pai é pescador
joga rede no mar
oi morena bonita que passa
eu gostei da tua cor
vem ser a sereia
do meu mar
do meu mar
e todo azul do infinito
me leva contigo
pra perto da rua
me leva depressa
que já vem a chuva
não me deixa dormir
pois não quero sonhar
sereia
mãe rainha das águas do mar
clareia com teu canto os raios de sol

Haverá
uma canção em cada gesto
em cada olhar
pelos caminhos dessa vida
sempre haverá
uma canção nos dedos longos
de algum rapaz que a gente vê
sem pensar no que fazer
o importante é perceber
que a garota dos meus sonhos é você
libere essa cabeça tonta
e vem comigo pra me amar
é meu esse sorriso lindo
estou aqui a te esperar
me deixa ser só teu, menina
eu sem você não sei viver
me leva com você pra longe
que eu nunca mais vou te esquecer

Já é quase noite por toda cidade
e tudo é tão lindo no céu prateado de neon
Sem rumo e sem lugar, vagando eu vou
rei, poeta e sonhador
em busca da felicidade
No centro da sala, diante do nada, eu naveguei
ao som de um balanço de um reggae
saí pra ver o mar e o beija-flor
e uma onda me levou
até aonde vou morar
Num lugar assim, feito só pra mim
Lá onde Deus está
místico, santo
Além do mar
Num lugar assim, feito só pra mim
Lá onde Jah está
místico, santo
Além do mar
