Just like you

I started runnin when I was just eleven years old
Ever since that day I kept further away from my home
If I close my eyes I can still see my mother's red face
Sayin if you leave here you'll never see your little sister again
I can't erase things that were down to me
I can't change things that I've done myself
The wheels keep turnin'
The fire keeps burnin'
No matter what I do
I am just like you
I can't be whole just like you
I'm afraid of gettin' old just like you
I keep wonderin' where I'm going to
Just like you I'm afraid
Just like you I'm amazed at the two of us
We, just like you, just like me
Can't believe it's been twenty three years
When I look out at the world sometimes feels like I'm new around here
I can't help it if I feel like I don't belong
I can't help it if I feel like
The wheels keep turnin'
The fire keeps burnin'
No matter what I do
I am just like you
Chorus
How come nothin' lasts forever
How come nothin' lasts forever
Just like you, just like me

Father's hands

I am a prisoner of my sacrifice
I am the architect of my confusing life
Without hope or reason I believed in you
Some things change some things don't
Some you win and some you won't
But I am in you and you are in me
What was what is what was meant to be
I've got to let you know that I have to let you go
Can't wait another second cause it ain't gettin' better
In peaceful dreams I find you unhinge my mind
I'm gonna build a new man
With my father's hands
You are the hero of your sacrifice
You are the architect of your own devise
In the heat of destruction you'll find your escape
You can run there's still time
But time will give and time will take
I can do anything (with my father's hands)
I can be kind (with my father's hands)
I can do anything
I can be free
All I'm sayin' is
Chorus

Wearin' me down

Over and over I lost my faith lost my light
But no four leaf clover gets me out of this mess you left behind
And it doesn't get easier livin' in a world where
The past is just as clouded as the future
Been thinkin' about the future
And I keep lookin' for you
I keep lookin' for you
But it's wearin' me down
It's wearin' me down
It grates on me, it weighs on me
Wearin' me down
It's in your health if you're no good you're no good
I'm not the one who will forgive the souls who are misunderstood
And I still remember something of you that resembled some kind of reason
I don't understand the reason
Why I keep lookin for you
I keep lookin for you
And it's wearin' me down
It's wearin' me down
It grates on me, it weighs on me
Wearin' me down
Everything I have from you
Is everything I can't undo
Though I try to walk away
it's right there in my DNA
It's hard to break it's only nature that I should feel bad
And I do feel sad for you
Chorus

1+2+you+me

There is a way around
There is a way around the feeling you're not who you should be
There is a peace of mind
There is a peace of mind in trusting in what you feel is right
You and me both keep it afloat
One and a time, a heart like a child
You know I love you just the way you are
I wouldn't change a thing one hair one scar
All you need is all you all
All you are is everything to me
There is a better view
There is better view than the one you see when you wake up
There is a deeper love
There is a deeper love than the one you lose when you break up
You and me both keep it afloat
One and a time, a heart like a child
Chorus
1+2+you+me+he+her+she+we
1+2+you+me+he+her+she+we
1+2+you+me+he+her+she+we
Chorus
There is a special place
There is a special place inside the walls of your heart
There is a special light
There is a special light that finds you no matter how lost you are
Chorus

My only way home

Well it never beat so hard like it did on the sand
I was walkin' with my brothers
When we look out at the edge and I hope to see another
There is a space no one can fill
Like this old heart just bleedin' out over
Just bleedin' out over my hands
Like this old heart just bleedin' out over
Just bleedin' out over my hands
Now I said all the things and I cannot take it back
And now there is no answer
And when I look in my mirror and I see your younger eyes
I know there is more here than our pride
Like this old heart just bleedin' out over
Just bleedin' out over my hands
Like this old heart just bleedin' out over
Just bleedin' out over my hands
So why can't we just go back the way it was
Nobody's guilty nobody's cursed
You're my only way home
All the days and all the nights
All the promises and all the fights
I'll tell you everything
I'll tell you everything
Everything I said I would
Could I still be your son if I choose to rise above
I just wanna set this danger down
I just wanna set this danger down
So why can't we just go back the way it was
Nobody's guilty nobody's cursed
You're my only way home
All the days and all the nights
All the promises and all the fights
I'll tell you everything
I'll tell you everything
Everything I said I would
