<1. Jump>
Baby, you know
Where you’re, you’re gonna go
Ahead of time
Ahead of time
No one ever knows
No one else will know
No one else will know
You’re getting close to break thru
When you decide to call it quits
You’re getting close to see the answer
When it flies in a million bits
May you love the hand you’re dealt around each day
May you reach the other end and turn to stay
Breathe fast, don’t look back, jump off the edge
Breathe fast, don’t look back, jump off the edge
Off the edge
Off the edge
Breathe fast, don’t look back, jump off the edge
<2. Look Away From The Sun>
Thought you’re nifty kid
Thought you would
Pickpocket in
A crowded neighborhood
No one notice you
Cuz your head’s only waist high
And you died in the womb
You died in the womb
Come, you look this way
I smile, you see through me
Guess my teeth are too pearly
Gotta look away from the sun
Look away from the sun
You look away from the sun
You look away from the sun
You look away from the sun
Bring us all some
Peace and wholesome
Quiet time away
On holiday
Quiet time away
On holiday
You look up at the sun
You cook away in the sun
You look away from the sun…
<3. Same Thing>
You were wearing the same thing last year
You’ll be wearing the same thing out of here
You’re with everyone, with everyone you know
You’re everyone, you’re everyone you know
And we came and fell and lost some
It rains, the fog surrounds
You’re covering up again
You lean against the wind
Keeping out the vampires
Keeping out the vampires
<4. Spontaneous>
As you remember
In the shade
Of this weather
Rainy day
Have you stabbed your conscience in the eye?
Have you given yourself the finger?
Have you broken up your smile
In a shattered mirror?
And you don’t look away
Don’t look away
You give yourself some time to heal
From imaginary wounds
The whippings of a past life
Lie in a cage without a home
And you entered this world
Invincible
Who cares, who knows, who wants to know?
Who cares, who knows, who wants to know?
And the last thing you will see
Your eyes melting
The last thing you will see
Your eyes melting
As you go bursting
In the sun’s
Spontaneous combustion
You were made of this world
<5. Runnin’>
She combs her hand through her hair
She knows what’s under there
She takes a bow
He don’t know how
You’re runnin…
You’re runnin…
Come back now
She throws her pout
You’ll chase after her
You’ll chase after her
You’re runnin…
You’re runnin…
<6. Walk Hard>
Walk straight
Walk hard
Take your time
Make sure each step lands
If a tree falls
Alone in a forest
Does it make a sound?
If you’re walking bare
Are you more connected
To the ground?
And I will
Rise above
Are you ready
For the sound
Of the rallying cry
Spreading like a virus in the sky
Did you catch the bird song
That I heard last spring?
Does it linger in the air
In Orange County?
And I will
Rise above
<7. Paper Wings>
You kiss me now
And then (and then)
You fake your vows
You let the real ones go
You cover me
In satin sheets
You paint your room
In red and maroon
You kill me now
You live me now
You save me now
Once more
It’s you I’m [ready|waiting] for
You save me now
You know the ice is thin
You’re swooping down
Your wings are paper thin
And you hold me back
As the earth shatters like glass
Then you pull me down
It turns out it’s your craft
You have to crawl before you can walk
Walk before you can run
Run before you can fly
You miss me now
You’re drifting
So far
Away
<8. Carnival>
Colors up and all above ‘em
Coming out
And the stars above are shining
We’re coming out
You’re missing the party
You’re missing your own party
You’re coming out again
So heavenly
You won’t be waking up again
So heavily, heavily
At least you’re gonna get it
Quiet here
At least you’re gonna get it
Quiet here
At least you’re gonna get it
Quiet here
At least you’re gonna get it
Oh oh
At least you’re gonna get it
Some quiet here…
<9. Demandez-Vous>
Growing up I wanted to be the sun
Never saw that I already was
With an ‘O’ not a ‘U’, but someday I’d prove
I could break thru the top
This is whatever you wanted it to be
In a life projected from the sea
You fooled God anyway
He forgot anyway
oh….
oh….
You came in here as something else
You came in here as something else
You demanded what belongs to you
You demanded that you see it through…
<10. Binary Sun>
Two moons come into collision
Two moons join as one
Two suns orbit around each other
Sometimes it’s light, sometimes dark
Oooo
Rockin’ back and forth
Two intersecting solar systems
Two hearts now beat as one
Two hands holding up one another
Two children running around in the sun
Oooo
Runnin’ cold
Runnin’ cold
‘Til we come
Back around again
‘Til we come
Back around again
