Around You 05:49
Sorry to find out about it Sorry to fall down, unstable Someday we can stop the fighting / Someday we can make it right In time we can end the crying / In time we will love, we might One day we can laugh about it / One day we can talk all night Maybe we can look back on this / Maybe I could wrap around you tight I was about to lose my mind forever But, in time, I put it all back together Someday we can stop the fighting / Someday we can make it right In time we can end the crying / In time we will love, we might One day we can laugh about it / One day we can talk all night Maybe we can look back on this / Maybe I could wrap around you tight Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight Maybe I could wrap around you tight Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight

Blue Skies 05:21
Blue skies / Brown horizons If this is the city of angels / Then why have we chosen to settle in hell Another shooting and a four-alarm fire Porcelain diet to a body that's good enough to sell All the swimming pools and movie stars Couldn't lure me away from where you are Driving limousines to the movie screens Airbrushed hopefuls posing for magazines, underneath Blue skies / Brown horizons If this is the city of angels / Then why have we chosen to settle in hell Any day it could explode into riots Sending a shockwave from South Central to Mississauga All those swimming pools and movie stars Will dry up with the valley aqueduct Driving limousines leaking gasoline Airbrushed hopefuls shooting pornography, underneath Buildings racing toward the city lines Acid raining downward from the skies LAX invites another flight Actors, immigrants, and business types Lusting for a piece of coastal life California cornflake paradise You talk, you talk, climb to the top with lies, all lies The hills alight, a fire fight, you run for your life Skyline fires turn the night to day We can't make you leave but you can't stay Handbag Shih Tzus cruise Rodeo Drive Horowitz can't hear the farmer's cries Acid's raining downward from the sky Buildings race toward the city lines Buildings racing past the Buildings sprawling past the Buildings creeping toward the Blue skies / Brown horizons

Old Hearts 03:26
Don’t go, come on back and take me with you Not sure of where you’re going and where you’re gonna be I know it’s not forever just for now but Say so, you never know, you never know Don’t wait, it won’t be long before I follow Your name, engraved upon the stone above your head You’ll stay, underground and waiting for me That day’s not far away, not far away Old hearts, unpack your bags, you’re never leaving Under stars, waking up to sleep again Don’t ever leave, we’re near the end Your eyes are painted on the ghost that haunts me You’re right that I’m not ready for the other side Don’t cry, I’m holding on for just tomorrow In time, you’re ever mine, you’re ever mine, and Old hearts, unpack your bags, you’re never leaving Under stars, waking up to sleep again Don’t ever leave, we’re near the end Old hearts, unpack your bags, you’re never leaving Under stars, waking up to sleep again Don’t ever leave, we’re near the end

On The Radio 03:33
I can hear the sound of you jetting I can see the sun as it’s setting But I know that I’m never letting go of you I’d be lying if I said I’m betting That you’d be with me at the wedding Still I know that I’m never getting over you You’re a song on the radio / singing me back to sleep, and You’re talk on the telephone / telling me tales of a thousand things You’re a song on the radio / singing me back to sleep, and You’re stuck on the stereo / making me wake from a thousand dreams I can hardly believe that it’s ending We’re both having a hard time accepting Still I know that I’ll be attempting without you I’ll be thinking of you every morning ‘till the sun goes down in the evening I’ll keep holding on to the memory left of you You’re a song on the radio / singing me back to sleep, and You’re talk on the telephone / telling me tales of a thousand things You’re a song on the radio / singing me back to sleep, and You’re voice on the video / making me wake from a thousand dreams I believed in us at the beginning And you know that I’m unrelenting But I feel that everything’s breaking into two Is it mad to think that you’re getting All the letters that I keep on sending It’s a sign that I’m not forgetting me and you You’re a song on the radio / singing me back to sleep, and You’re talk on the telephone / telling me tales of a thousand things You’re a song on the radio / singing me back to sleep, and You’re long gone but you never know / you could be there, still thinking of me

World War Z 05:16
Why you looking past my eyes? Why you looking past my eyes? Paris is calling and Beijing is falling London slips away Why you falling for these lies? Why you falling for these lies? New York is breaking and my heart is aching Darkness fades to grey Well, don’t worry darling, we’re gonna find a way to survive We’re gonna find a way to make it out of this town alive We can avert this disaster If we can put out the fire We can avert this disaster We can make it out of this town alive We could live in the forest – learn to hunt and to forage We could live so peacefully in a cabin up north where no one would ever hear We can avert this disaster If we can put out the fire We can avert this disaster We can make it out of this town alive Why are you looking past my eyes? Paris is calling and Beijing is falling Why are you looking past my eyes? New York is breaking and my heart is aching Why are you looking past my eyes? Paris is calling and Beijing is falling Why are you looking past my eyes? London slips away

Interlude 00:46
By the way, you can't change me I'm a lot like you when you were seventeen By the way, you can't tame me I go out of my way just to see you fallin'

Timebomb 03:33
It’s the topline of a lifetime Everyday we stretch the limit Of energy / irony / you and me Take me downtown Affluence spreads / without consequence But it feels wrong, like a timebomb Take a look at what you thought you wanted Do you see where you went wrong? Turn back the clock and do it over Instead of designing a timebomb It’s a new day; brings a heartache We never even took a minute But anyway / who’s to say / brand new day Pushin’ onward Gentrify / socialite / suicide But it feels wrong, like a timebomb Take a look at what you thought you wanted Do you see where you went wrong? Turn back the clock and do it over Instead of desigining a timebomb It’s the topline of a lifetime But it feels wrong, like a timebomb

Pulling in the driveway in the dead of the night Calling to my baby to come out for a drive Passing through the neon-coloured city lights Rolling ‘round the corner and we’re out of sight tonight Flying down the freeway at the speed of sound Past the city limits so we’ll never be found Glancing in the rear view as I’m holding your hand We’re never going back there, never turning around tonight You and I A girl and a guy Even if we never make it There’s a chance so we should take it anyway If you’re right This’ll take all night And no matter what tonight brings You and I will be all right tomorrow Winding through the traffic, we keep going for miles Pull over to the shoulder and we’ll rest for a while Money in my pocket and a girl by my side Doesn’t matter if we make it, just as long as we tried tonight And I wanted to go fast / But you wanted the feeling to last Yeah, you wanted to go slow / Making our way back home
9.
The daylight fades so fast And midnight comes to pass By morning, winter's here And summer disappears I never thought I’d see the day When all illusions slipped away No man to answer the call My past, my future, my fault Call and answer / You said you ran out of time Call and answer / You thought you’d tried All the answers that you’d set out to find Now or never The leaves fall, settling in the snow Unraveling secrets down below The sky turns black then fades And memory’s all that remains Call and answer / You said you ran out of time Call and answer / You thought you’d tried All the answers that you’d set out to find Now or never You stay the same, or make the change You never know what you’ll find Call and answer You stay the same, or make the change You never know what you’ll find

North Wind 05:28
That's how it goes You take one last good look in the bathroom mirror before the show That's how it goes Breath mint, time check, wallet and keys / time to leave everything you know That's how it goes The summer sunshine was not enough to make you want to stay The north wind, to spite me, it picked you up and carried you away That's how it goes If you could choose only one thing to take down south with you when you go That's how it goes Make it this song to remind you of just how strong the north wind can blow That's how it goes The summer sunshine was not enough to make you want to stay The North wind, to spite me, it picked you up and carried you away Winter weekends without you near will never feel the same The distance between us is not so great it can’t be bridged by plane
11.
So there you are Like a freshly fallen star Too hot to touch Too bright to stare I could try, but do I dare? I’ll roll up my sleeve so you can’t see my heart Though it’s long since stopped beating right from the start Of your lashy eyelashes right to the tip of your fingers I’ll write you up with a glowing citation And I’ll mail it off to the United Nations Who’ll appoint you the Queen of the three most beautiful stations The Republic of Sunshine, the Kingdom of Sky And these United States of the Clouds That Float By So that I can live under your rule forever and ever So there you are Like a freshly fallen star Too hot to touch Too bright to stare
