I'll take my shot though it may be fortunes fault though it may be these hands have wrought I'll face the dark all for the light that's gone all for the light beyond though I fear the night has won I'm holding on sometimes I just can't recall to what so just look on don't fear don't hide, don't run don't run yeah these civil wars'll go on but I won't give up until I'm gone yeah these civil wars'll go on but I won't give up if hope is lost it don't mean that this fight is done it don't mean I've forgotten love if hope's the cost don't fear, don't hide, don't run don't run yeah these civil wars'll go on but I won't give up until I'm gone yeah these civil wars'll go on but I won't give up until I'm done yeah these civil wars'll go on but I won't give up until I'm gone yeah these civil wars'll go on but I won't give up

I remember the days when the sun touched the ground I remember the nights we spent on warm soft ground how I couldn't help but stare reach over and tussle your hair I remember the days the sun wouldn't go down. I can see it now, children running in the streets I can hear their laughs their cries their songs of joy I can almost feel your skin oh can you hear, the noisy voices calling? can you hear our songs? oh Summer Solstice, it's been far far to long oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home? oh winter is here, and fall and spring and summer oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home? and I'm so tired of all these things I can explain and I want more than involuntary love and maybe all I need is some rhyme and reason but I remember the days when the sun touched the ground oh can you hear, the noisy voices calling? can you hear our songs? oh Summer Solstice, it's been far far to long oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home? oh winter is here, and fall and spring and summer oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home? won't you please come back home? (won't you plase come back? won't you please come back?) won't you please come back home? (won't you plase come back? won't you please come back?)

Lose it All 03:31
one day maybe I'll know maybe I'll sit back and smile one day maybe I'll see maybe I'll lift my head from this dusty road and know I'm free one day maybe I'll understand maybe this darkness, this burning pain will have made me the better man but I can't lose it all I can't shake my better days so my tears'll fall and my heart'll keep calling you up one night maybe you'll stop by or maybe I'll know I'll learn, I'll get by maybe these dark roads, a sunrise will throw me some sense, I'll get on, grow up live my life but I can't lose it all I can't shake my better days so my tears'll fall and my heart'll keep calling you up but I can't lose it all I can't shake my better days so my tears'll fall and my heart'll keep calling you up but I can't lose it all I can't shake my better days so my tears'll fall and my heart'll keep calling you up but I can't lose it all I can't shake my better days so my tears'll fall and my heart'll keep calling you up

will I ever get no rest, get no rest? it's like there's ghosts in my bed, in bed chains like bells in the walls beasts never seen since the fall and that bitter winter wind howls and screams will I ever get no rest, get no rest? it's like these haunts don't care when, don't care when and I'm screaming at the walls there's a gorgon in the hall and that bitter winter wind howls on so take, take me from these hollow things from these bleeding dreams I've been holding on far too long will I ever stand a chance I'd like my one call home and maybe I could save me, and you could call me baby but my bitter winter wind laughs at these so take, take me from these hollow things from these bleeding dreams I've been holding on far too long I've made a wreck of me please don't call me crazy don't call me crazy walk in dripping dry hang the keys feet beat the floor, I beat my knees hanging from the counter stained red stained red I catch my eyes in the glass just a kid just a kid so take, take me from these hollow things from these bleeding dreams I've been holding on for far too long if these walls could talk they'd scream if this floor could walk it'd bleed don't call me crazy don't call me crazy will I ever get no rest? will I ever get no rest?

how long must this storm last to be called troubled waters? how long must this road be walked before we decide to change our minds for good? I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way let me love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way could you feel it coming could you feel it coming like bats out of a cave on stormy night in the dark moonlight while the lightening strikes and struggles above? I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way let me love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way it's nights like these when I long to feel the weight of the world in your arms and your head on my shoulder your heart like a boulder in mine it's nights like these when I'm not strong enough to carry on to carry you like I did to carry on to carry you like I did to carry on to carry you like I did I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way I wanna love you the hard way the hard way

Colorado 03:44
Colorado couldn't keep her from me couldn't stand in between Colorado is not as far as it seems not as taken as me not as taken as me and we held the long and the steady run teary eyed and left reeling from happy nights under lit screens I know I won't find any reason to go that time won't pause or rewind to hold this girl any closer than this mind that cries, "no, I won't heed her hints of hazadry" we spent days running round downtown finding light spite countdown or harsh pause in such plans singing mountains might carry her up but I'll lift her higher and I'll hold her tighter I'll love her I'll dream of waking up to her kiss knowing she'll surely be missed And Kristine said to me, "Colorado couldn't hold me like this" I know I won't find any reason to go that time won't stop or rewind to hold this girl any closer than this mind that cries no I know I won't find any reason to go that time won't stop or rewind to hold this girl any closer than this mind that cries no
