She told a story with her eyes And she danced without any music She could garner a surprise With her every movement And as she turned the lights faded The candles burned as we waited We entered foreign dreams A crowd gathered in the streets (Chorus) But time would not wait No words were exchanged And the spirits were captured But never taken back... With the art of the night He told a story from his mind By mixing images with music In just a minutes time He offered a solution And as he turned the lights faded The film projected on the wall We watched the vision he created As the bombs began to fall (Chorus) And as the moments passed the night began to sing The air was filled with smoke and poetry Around every corner there were possibilities All for the sake of art and creativity He told a story with his voice About a night he’d always remember He told a story with his voice About a night he’d always remember (Chorus)

Dreaming in black and white Open up your weary eyes The temperature is rising There’s hope on the horizon Living for a brighter day The good times are here to stay It’s a clash of the titans It’s too late to fight it (Pre-Chorus) Love has become a misconception A sleight of hand, a misdirection You’re waiting on a missed connection All alone with no direction Take your fears and your aggression All your tears and your confessions Let it go for just a second And live your life without abandon (Chorus) You’re living in a snow globe It’s hard to let go Everyone’s looking in To the world you’re living in You’re easily shaken When life starts changing You lost your sanity In world without gravity It’s hard to let go It's so hard, it's so hard to let go It was a late night suicide They tossed you by the wayside You were chained to the ratings Till you spent all your savings You were always down at half-time Now it’s too late to change your mind You were calm and complacent Till they found your replacement Pre-Chorus Chorus Workin' at the cinema You would never give it up The queen of indie The talk of the city Your home is on the highway You sold it all just to get paid They made you in the factory a bittersweet tragedy Sleeping at the bus stop Underneath the hard top Headed for Chicago Leaving on the down low Roaming across the country You never looked so lovely Heading for the west coast You disappeared just like a ghost It's so hard, it's so hard to let go Chorus

Here you come again a little lighter on your feet Here you come again a little softer than before Here you come again knockin' on my door oh, with a world full of love a heart of innocence and all the joy of laughter and the high of love at first sight the high of love at first sight It's true I may be wrong, it doesn't always fall like dominoes, dominoes It's true sometimes, you know it's true sometimes I get ahead of myself Never pegged you for a cynic Never pegged you for a non-believer We were meeting new people and making new friends Soon a match strikes, there’s a spark and then a fire Then I look up at the sky, I drift into the night And get high when you're by my side I look up at the sky, I drift into the night and get high I felt so fine with your cheek against mine Half asleep on the beach lyin' under the stars Watching the waves break until daybreak We were singin' along to our favorite songs Save Tonight, Wonderwall and Chasing Cars With the full moon shining on us And no limitations to where we wanna go We learned the subtleties of connection And opened ourselves up to optimism Oh now here you come again A little lighter on your feet Here you come again, here you come again Here you come again, here you come again You're knocking on my door Knocking on my door

You sang to me in a tone Similar to how the wind sings to the shore Not angry… not wistful… a little bit sentimental There was more meaning in your eyes… In the way you looked at me… More thoughtfulness than anything I’d ever felt Your touch...it was brilliant (Chorus) And all I ever wanted And All I ever needed And All I ever wished for Was in your eyes In only a matter of seconds, I Fell in love with your smile Began floating down the river of my mind At my own discretion I continued without a map Without direction…just a feeling Overwhelmed and surrounded… but safe Chorus And you, you sang to me in a tone It clicked, I finally got it, So subtle, so honest Your silent compliment; unlocked meant more... than anything I’d ever felt You took me somewhere new Somewhere strange but beautiful I can feel your heart beating with mine Chorus x2

Some things are beautiful Some things take time Some things are golden Some words aren’t meant to rhyme I’d like to bow to your god I’d like to pray to your grace I’d like to pretend I could fly ...But I’m past that phase Some things are better in night vision Some things are better in the dark Some things are invisible We’re just waiting for them to start I’d like to tell you I’m sorry I’d like to write you a song I’d like to buy you a present ...But I’ve done nothing wrong Sometimes it’s hard to understand life Right now is one of those times Sometimes we’re closer than we think All we gotta do is try I’d like to take you for a night Or two or three I’d like to do to your soul What your grace has done for me I’d like to just fly One calm afternoon I'd like to take your warmth and just be soothed I would turn the wind to be with you I would turn the wind to be with you Yeah I would turn the wind to be with you ...Some things are beautiful

Hope 03:48
Inside of us is something I never knew existed Somewhere along the way I must have missed it This display of despair Is just a figment from your mind All those things you couldn’t stand to bear Are the things you wouldn’t dare to find (Chorus) Do what you were meant to do Don’t be afraid to make your dreams come true There’s still hope There’s always hope Raindrops and snowflakes fall Bad days and tough breaks all Make you want to throw in the towel But then you’ll see, Everything this life has in store Just when you’ve fallen flat on your back You’ll see there’s so much more (Chorus) You’ve always had it Even if you never knew You will find that deep inside of you You’ve got the strength to pull through (Chorus)
