Looking For A Map 03:53
lyrics

Each time I look at my watch, it’s still now But what did I do last week, feels like last year Moments feel like hours, and hours feel like years I can’t even remember, before this began And yet now when we look back It feels like the blink of an eye Everything the same, blurred into one I’m looking for map in this madness A map’s gonna take me home Just some kind of key, that’s gonna help this Make sense to me I’m looking for a drop in this ocean Drop in the sea Just some kind of way, to help the good things stay And keep you near to me I’m looking for a map The world came to a stand-still for that year This change that we thought, could never come Those in control, they finally did things We’ve all been asking for, for years And yet now when we look back It feels like the blink of an eye Everything the same, blurred into one I’m looking for map in this madness A map’s gonna take me home Just some kind of key, that’s gonna help this Make sense to me I’m looking for a drop in this ocean Drop in the sea Just some kind of way, to help the good things stay And keep you near to me I’m looking for a map And yet now when we look back It feels like the blink of an eye Everything the same, all blurred into one And yet now when we look back It feels like the blink of an eye Everything the same, blurred into one I’m looking for map in this madness A map’s gonna take me home Just some kind of key, that’s gonna help this Make sense to me I’m looking for a drop in this ocean Drop in the sea Just some kind of way, to help the good things stay And keep you near to me I’m looking for map in this madness To take me home Just some kind of key, that’s gonna help this Make sense to me I’m looking for a drop in this ocean Drop in the sea Just some kind of way, to help the good things stay And keep you near to me I’m looking for map (in this madness) (A map’s gonna take me home) (Just some kind of key, that’s gonna help this) (Make sense to me) (I’m looking for a drop in this ocean) (Drop in the sea) (Just some kind of way, to help the good things stay) (And keep you near to me) I’m looking for map

One More Chance 03:55
lyrics

In this place there isn’t much to know Just gotta take it slow And do all the things that scare you most And in this time it’s not hard to choose Just act like you can’t lose And always keep your closets small And in this world it’s not hard to know Just what seeds best to sow You’ll gather your own harvest And in your heart it’s not hard to feel Just gotta melt the steel That skewered you the last time And all the perfect plans of men begin again When they discover they have hearts and what’s within When everything is lost it takes everything you have But why not ask for one more chance Why not ask for one more chance All the aching beauty of the world It’s not because you’ve won It’s because you’re still fighting And all the wonder that we feel inside Most people try and hide Thinking they’re the only ones And all the hate we’re ashamed we feel It’s because it’s not real Though that would make it easier And all the times we apologise For someone else’s lies There’s got to be a better way And all the perfect plans of men begin again When they discover they have hearts and what’s within When everything is lost it takes everything you have But why not ask for one more chance Why not ask for one more chance Each day we take what hope we have And spend it all, leave nothing left to give So open up your window wide This might be the day you start again And all the perfect plans of men begin again When they discover they have hearts and what’s within When everything is lost it takes everything you have But why not ask for one more chance, chance And all the perfect plans of men begin again When they discover they have hearts and what’s within When everything is lost it takes everything you have But why not ask for one more chance Why not ask for one more chance Why not ask for one more chance Why not ask for one more chance

The Arrow 03:35

When the die was cast Did it wonder how it should roll? When the die was cast for one and all? And when the bow was loosed Did the arrow wonder how to fly? When the bow was loosed for you and I? For you and I? So if you’re thinking to yourself If I could just fly straight Know that this is the chance you have And know that it can’t wait And if you’re thinking to yourself If only I knew how Know that this is all you can be The arrow that is you, as you are now The arrow that is you, as you are now When the stage was set Did the players wonder at their role? When the stage was set for one and all And once the cards were dealt Did we wonder which game to play? Once the cards were dealt for us today? For us today? So if you’re thinking to yourself If I could just fly straight Know that this is the chance you have And know that it can’t wait And if you’re thinking to yourself If only I knew how Know that this is all you can be The arrow that is you, as you are now The arrow that is you, as you are now You start out, you think that you know something Worked out a way you can grow something Planting all the seeds that you can today But sometimes things need to be undone So that they then can be truly done First you have to be lost to find your way So if you’re thinking to yourself If I could just fly straight Know that this is the chance you have And know that it can’t wait And if you’re thinking to yourself If only I knew how This is all you can be The arrow that is you And if you’re thinking to yourself If I could just fly straight Know that this is the chance you have And know that it can’t wait And if you’re thinking to yourself If only I knew how This is all you can be The arrow that is you, as you are now The arrow that is you, as you are now The arrow that is you, as you are now

There are voices in my head That tell me to be nice There are voices in my head That do not There are chances that I’ve had All the places that I’ve seen There are times when I have thought I need a hand Cos I got these duelling banshees in my mind I never knew I was but seems I’m Just that way inclined I got these duelling banshees in my brain They spend the whole day contradicting me Until I go insane I’ll go insane-ane-ane-ane-ane Got one on my left shoulder And one there on my right And that’s quite enough misery for me For there’s nothing more abrading Than when one is screaming yes And the other one just screams “Listen to me” Cos I got these duelling banshees in my mind I never knew I was but seems I’m Just that way inclined I got these duelling banshees in my brain The whole day contradicting me Until I go insane I’ll go insane, oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, ba-ba-badadodo-do-do, do do I’ve got these duelling banshees in my mind (duelling banshees) yeah I never knew I was but seems that I’m Just that way inclined I’ve got these duelling banshees in my brain (duelling banshees) The whole day contradicting me Until I go insane I’ve got these duelling banshees in my mind (duelling banshees) I never knew I was but seems I’m Just that way inclined I’ve got these duelling banshees in my brain (duelling banshees) The whole day contradicting me Until I go insane I’ll go insane-ane-ane-ane-ane-no-no-no-yeah I’ll go insane

Some people think, that you can rule Just because you think that people think That you’re not that big a fool Some people say, that you are right Just because you think that we all think That you’re prepared to fight So step by step, stone by stone I’m gonna build myself a fable And inch by inch, and mile by mile I’m gonna build my tower of able My tower of able Some people think, that you will know Just what it is that matter most When it’s your time to go Some people say, that things are right But I know this simply isn’t true If all we do is fight So step by step, stone by stone I’m gonna build myself a fable And inch by inch, mile by mile I’m gonna build my tower of able There’s a place where we go when the sky is dark When the ocean boils and the moon is stark We’re all that we’ve got (all that we’ve got) And we’re all that we’ve got (all that we’ve got) There’s a chance that we have and the time is late When we break through the bonds that decide our fate We’re all that we’ve got (all that we’ve got) We’re all that we’ve got So step by step, stone by stone I’m gonna build myself a fable And inch by inch, mile by mile I’m gonna build my tower of able Step by step (step by step), stone by stone (stone by stone) I’m gonna build myself a fable And inch by inch (inch by inch), mile by mile (mile by mile) I’m gonna build my tower of able My tower of able My tower of able

Take The Time To Look 03:14

Sitting on a stairwell, in the early morning scene A long way from home, or so it seems to me A couple shuffles by, he’s ten paces ahead And I wonder did they just fight? Or do they just prefer it that way instead? A man puts oil into his car, and it barely starts He has to get to work, with such an early start Everyone is hoping, for another chance No one knows the reason, why they just can not make it last Why don’t we take the time to look To look around at what is there, we never write that book Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are Otherwise each day is just the same Sitting on an airplane, high above the earth All around are different, folk from different worlds Each of us a mystery, who knows what we share Some things we will never know, some things we just don’t dare Why don’t we take the time to look To look around at what is there, we never write that book Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are Otherwise each day is just the same There’s a place you can go If you’re down and out or full of fear It’ll draw you close and hold you near There’s a time we hold dear The time to tell your family Just how you feel and make it clear Otherwise each day Otherwise each day Otherwise each day is just the same, same Why don’t we take the time to look Look around at what is there, we never write that book Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are Otherwise each day is just the same, same Why don’t we take the time to look We never write that book Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are Otherwise each day is just the same

The Path 03:33

What’s the shape along the path, that you know best? I keep thinking I’ve seen it But then things just keep on getting more familiar Until one day I see it I’ve walked a long and lonely road to get to where I am right now And all the places that I’ve seen just tell me that I’ll know somehow Each and every place I go will be a step to where I know Where it is that I will come to, and I’ll know it when it comes So what’s the shape of her fine face That you love best? I keep thinking I’ve seen it But those faces keep on getting more familiar Until one day I see it I’ve talked a tortured tale of how all things must surely work somehow And every soul I told this news did find it comforting somehow Never did I know exactly how I would achieve this feat Until one day it came and simply lay down right there at my feet So what’s the shape along the path, that we know best? We keep thinking we’ve seen it We’ve walked a long and lonely road to get to where we are right now And all the places that we’ve seen just tell us that we’ll know somehow Each and every place we go will be a step to where we know Where it is that we will come to, and we’ll know it when it comes So what’s the shape along the path, that you know best? I keep thinking I’ve seen it Until one day, I see it Until one day, I see it
