Wanna live where the ocean meets the sun (x4)
Woke up this morning to a sound
A child laughing in the background
I knew this day would be so bright
The toast and coffee made just right
Wanna live where the ocean meets the sun (x4)
Making our way down the dirt road
Toward the beach where the sand is gold
A river goes through the mangrove
Along a wooden path near the cove
Wanna live where the ocean meets the sun (x4)
Arriving at the sea it fell so true
Dipping my toes into the blue
The sun so warm upon my face
I just need to slow my pace
Wanna live where the ocean meets the sun (x4)
Where the ocean meets the sun (x4)

I'm a Fool
03:37
|

|
The party is over
Everyone is gone but you
You look at me and I wonder
It may be wrong but it could be true
Is it love or is it lust?
Whatever it is
Can't get enough
Is it love or is it lust?
One thing I know
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
Leave your clothing on the floor
You don't need it anymore
And if the night is long
In the morning you might hear this song
Is it love or is it lust?
Whatever it is
Can't get enough
Is it love or is it lust?
One thing I know
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
Is it love or is it lust?
Whatever it is
Can't get enough
Is it love or is it lust?
One thing I know
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool
For you
I'm a fool

Breaking Down
04:01
|
|||
|
I've been searching in my dreams
For a place that doesn't exist
Carried away by the stream
I know I won't resist
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I used to dive in empty pools
You're always someone else's fool
And I am stuck in a tiny cell
Like a pearl inside its shell
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I could wait for a little more
But I forgot what I'm waiting for
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down

Sorrow
04:32
|
|||
|
I'm lost, lost
My feet barely touch the ground
I write your name on the window frost
As your ghost comes drifting down
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
You're killing me
You're killing me
Bitter sadness in my mouth
A bit of anger in my eyes
The one I never do without
The pain I can't anesthetize
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're the devil I can't shake
And I'm under your control
You take all you can take
From by body and my soul
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
You're killing me
Sorrow
Sorrow
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me
You're killing me

Below the Night
04:09
|
|||
|
The tide is low and you're crawling
On a naked stone
The tide is high and you're floating
On a liquid throne
A fire blazes, it burns the land
To make the forest grow
A lotus pushes its way through muck
To let its flower show
And the sun is always shining
Shining above the clouds
Yes the sun is always shining
The sun is always shining
Below the night
Below the night
A rainbow bursts, colors dance
After the thunder sounds
The moon may appear lonely to you
Just think of a million stars around
And the sun is always shining
Shining above the clouds
Yes the sun is always shining
The sun is always shining
Below the night
Below the night

Well you think you're so deep
But your life is a lie
Wake up! You're asleep
It's time to learn how to fly
Can't you see
You could walk a lighter way
I love you
That's all you gotta say
And I hope one day
Yes I hope one day
We'll understand each other
And I hope one day
We'll understand
What's going on
In our lives
You're acting so cheap
When you don't even try
You behave like a sheep
Waiting for the day you'll die
Can't you see
You could walk a lighter way
I love you
That's all you gotta say
And I hope one day
Yes I hope one day
We'll understand each other
And I hope one day
We'll understand
What's going on
In our lives
Oh my love won't you help me please
Can't handle all this on my own
Ain't no good to keep
So much beauty inside
Get ready for that giant leap
Come on! Don't be shy!
Can't you see
You could walk a lighter way
I love you
That's all you gotta say
And I hope one day
Yes I hope one day
We'll understand each other
And I hope one day
We'll understand
What's going on
In our lives

My brother
I found
I found
My soul
My brother
I found
I found
My soul
My sister
I found
I found
My soul
My sister
I found
I found
My soul
The other
Is me
In me
Is you
Together
We live
We live
In peace

Lies
03:57
|
|||
|
We've got a schedule
That we've got to follow
We sold our souls
For a seat in the front row
What a distance we put
Between each other
We pretend we are mute
When we don't want to answer
Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies, Lies
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies
How can we escape
Greedy corporations?
They threat and they take
'til there's nothin' left but starvation
We're trying to shape
Our own mediocrity
But we can no longer fake
To have is not to be
Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies, Lies
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies
I'm alone at the bar
Waiting for another beer
People seem so far
I'm already out of here
I can't be that light
Fooling around
Out there there's a fight
It's time to be sound
Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies, Lies
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies

Away from You

|
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away, away from you
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away from you
You never loved me, you only loved being loved by me
You took everything I had to give and now I feel so empty
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away, away from you
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away from you
I followed your rules one by one until I turned into your slave
My heart is full of anger and yet you're still the one I crave
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away, away from you
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away from you
And now I'm on my way to San Francisco
Leaving the pain behind, I'm a brand new man from head to toe
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away, away from you
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away from you
Away, away
I'm going away from you
Away from you
