Is It True?

Let me show you a lesson
Like navigating the sea.
Yes it's been done;
So it's easy.
Your compass drawn to me.
They said it was written
In the stars, or somewhere.
Does it matter? Do you care?
But it was, and it is, like they say.
Can we change, or will we stay this way?
Can we change, or will we stay this way?
Let me show you a lesson
I should be with you; and you with me.
They said it was written
In the stars, or somewhere.
Is it true, or did I just infer?
Is it true, or did I just infer?
Is it true, or did I just infer?
Is it true, or did I just infer?

Act

Running over overtime
Wasting thoughts on other's lives
Common thinking, no decisions
What a shame.
Taking all of my beliefs
Seemed so sure until you speak
At the beginning, wishful thinking
Who's to blame?
And we come to you now we're blue
And we come to you now we're through.

Listen Closely
03:58
|
|

If I speak, it's the wrong thing.
I knew what I meant.
Listen closely.
When I sing it's a sad song.
You knew all along.
Spend too long on thinking time.
Wondering when, when you'll be mine.
Listen closely,
Listen closely.
It could be something perfect.
It could be something less than that.
It doesn't matter, we'll be fine.
We only argue half the time.
Listen closely, listen closely.
Listen closely, listen closely.

Down and Down
04:17

And the waves came,
We went crashing;
Down and down.
Down and down.
The cliffs moved closer,
And with each wave;
Down and down.
Down and down.
Then the sun set.
Our hopes extinguished;
Ember by ember.
Flame by flame. (x2)
We lost all touch;
With our homes, with our hopes.
It's been many hours, the moon has died.
The sea was calming.
We were calming.
-Down and down-
The waves fell.
We fought back.
The sun was rising.
The sun was rising.
A long, cold night.
And the sunlight,
Lifted us higher.
Higher and higher. (x2)
You won't ever come back here,
Send me down and down.
Down and down.

Darling

There's a Darling out there trying to make it.
Sits at home with her best dress on.
Won't audition it out in public,
But that's not because there's anything wrong.
Life's short, but there's still time.
Time, time, time.
She'll drive away, I know, one day.
If there's one thing she'll do, it's fly.
Tea lights flicker in a windy house.
A cold, strange presence through the air.
Chairs and tables turn as the Darling dares,
To stand up and prepare.
People listen and the world's awake.
The Darling finds out that she don't care.
Care, care, care.
'Cause beside her, her Darling's not there.
