David Stole My Ride
05:18

Well, he's paid the price for the freedom that he's won
All of the friends that he had before are gone
And his face is pale since the shades are always drawn
But it's all okay, 'cause he likes to be alone
He's taken off on his own
Yeah, David stole my ride
Now I need a way back home
Since David stole my ride
That's right
He doesn't sleep and he doesn't tell a lie
He sits around with the time to wonder why
And on a day like today, decides it's time to fly
So he lets himself in and he puts it into drive
He's taken off on his own
Yeah, David stole my ride
Now I need a way back home
Since David stole my ride
That's right
He's taken off on his own
Yeah, David stole my ride
Now I need a way back home
Since David stole my ride
That's right
He's taken off on his own
Yeah, David stole my ride
Now I need a way back home
Since David stole my ride
That's right
Say goodbye, David
Hey David, bye-bye
Say goodbye, David
Hey David, bye-bye
Say goodbye, David
Hey David, bye-bye
Say goodbye, David
Hey David, bye-bye

Hypothetically

Hypothetically, I'm your man
Let's pretend we didn't just burn every bridge we can
Reality on pause, it's not the end
Just for the night we can say that we're still friends
You tell me that it's done
You say you're going solo, oh no
Like you don't have the time
To realize what you're choosing
Losing
But let's just say
It's all okay
Let's just say
I called your name
Hypothetically I send my love
As we reach the intersection between what you and I are thinking of
Maybe I'm long gone
Or maybe I'm still here
It doesn't really matter when the outcome's always crystal clear
You tell me that it's done
You say you're going solo, oh no
Like you don't have the time
To realize what you're choosing
Losing
But let's just say
It's all okay
Let's just say
I called your name
Oh whoa
(Ohh)
Oh whoa
(Ohh)
Oh whoa oh
Oh ohh
(Uhh)
Let's just say
It's all okay
Let's just say
I called your name
Yeah, let's just say
Oh, let's just say
Yeah, let's just say
Yeah, let's just say
Oh oh oh

More Like Me
04:50

I hear it from the balcony
A whisper in the trees
It's saying what you want to hear
To bring you to your knees
It teaches you a secret truth
And promises a hand
In leading you along a path
Of which no one can stand
I swore I'd let you make a choice
In who you want to be
And in that way I envied you
For choosing to live free
And to that end, I wanted to be like you
And you wanted to be like me
Now here we stand as opposing forces
And nobody wants to see
You always said you wanted to be more like me
You always said you wanted to be more like me
Look at yourself now
All alone
Look at yourself now
No place to call home
I heard the tapping at my door
By long forgotten hand
And though I sensed familiar tone
It escaped my grasp like sand
A messenger upon the air
A whisper on the wind
A faded force upon my mind
That only time could send
"You always said you wanted to be more like me,
You always said you wanted to be more like me
But look at yourself now
Can't stand on your own
Look at yourself now
Your heart has turned to stone"
Look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Yeah, look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Oh, look at yourself now
Oh, look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Look at yourself now
Look at yourself now

Words Of Love
04:37

All of the words given to me
Promise of love led by disease
Feelings of hopelessness and relief
Silence and restlessness disagree
Under the branches falling like rain
Making their way back to me again
Cure for the poison, rest from the strife
Words of love fill me with life
Burn up these bones
Let the smoke fill the sky
Without you here
You know that I'm gonna die
Just like the plan
No one can stand against the current
Finish a thought and bring it to light
It's all I can hope whenever we fight
Easy to say, can never demand
Words of love I'm in your command
Burn up these bones
Let the smoke fill the sky
Without you here
You know that I'm gonna die
Nothing's at risk
No need to fix what's never been broken
Pushing too hard
You don't know why
You've got to say what's on your mind
Everything lost be turned into gain
Words of love, don't leave me in vain
Burn up these bones let the smoke fill the sky
Without you here you know that I'm gonna die
Please understand
Nobody can
Give what you've given
What you've given
These words of love
Long dead and through
These words of love
Come back to you

Highlife
04:13
|
|

Get your head together cause it's all gotta go
This is the highlife
Ask yourself the question but you already know
If this is the highlife
We've got nowhere to be and nothing to show
That this is the highlife
Whoa ohh
Hey, this is the highlife
(Am I living the highlife?)
Hey, this is the highlife
(Am I living the highlife?)
Feeling like a weight's been lifted onto my shoulders
When you're living the highlife
I didn't have the money to buy anything better
So I'm living the highlife
Whoa ohh
Hey, this is the highlife
(Am I living the highlife?)
Hey, this is the highlife
(Am I living the highlife?)
I'm living, living, living the
I'm living, living, living life
I'm living, living, living life
Hey, this is the highlife
(Am I living the highlife?)
Yeah I know everything will be alright
So much better than just living the lie
That this is the highlife
Yeah, this may be the highlife

Called Out
05:51
|
|

Look at me now
Sitting alone
Sad old man
Won't give up his throne
So I went to sleep
Til I heard a shout
When I'd fallen in too deep
You were calling me out
Calling me out, yeah
All that I've done
And all that I knew
Left me staggered and reaching out
When I was struck by the truth
Was it something I said?
Is it something to cry about?
It'll feel like a blow to the head
When you've been called out
When you've been called out, yeah
Nothing to say
Nothing to do
Life isn't fair
Playing by the wrong rules
And you've made your excuse
But you've been called out
Been called out, yeah
You can pray for the end
You can beg for another day
You can wish for a change
But would it work any other way?
'Cause the moment is here
Don't have any doubt
You can fight it as best you can
But you've been called out
Ooh, you've been called out, yeah
Nothing to say
Nothing to do
Life isn't fair
Playing by the wrong rules
And you've made your excuse
But you've been called out
But you been called out, yeah
You've been called out
You've been called out
You've been called out
You've been called out

I know nothing makes sense at all
And my back's against the wall
My world's been sinking down
Yes I've been sinking down
Yet we may fall like rain
Or melt away the same
But if we want to set it free
We'd know that burden fled
I was as good as dead
Cast off the skin I shed
Let loose the sky and watch it fall on me
I'm never gonna feel the same again
No I'm never gonna feel the same again
So call it fate's design
And praise your holy sign
But you're making a conscious choice
You're making a conscious choice
Now we're going to fade away
Into another day
But what's another day, yes what's another day, you see
I'm not the one you knew
You can have your deepest blue
Take back your troubles too
There's nothing left that you can do to me
And I'm never gonna feel the same again
No I'm never gonna feel the same again
I'm never gonna feel the same again
No I'm never gonna feel the same again

It Remains To Be Seen
05:01
|
|

Ain't that the way it always seems to go?
Want to learn, but not a thing to know
Struggling to find the right message to send
It's not the kind of time you'd like to spend, no
It's a meaningful gaze from down the corridor
You've got something you want to say
But there's no way you'll get the words to me
You've got a feeling that you can't explain
Try and try, but it drives you insane
Ain't that the way it always seems to go?
These mixed emotions and no way to show them
It's the meaningless game that drives us on and on
You circle round what you really mean
And all I know is it remains to be seen
Will I see too?
When part of me and part of you
Are shading in and fading through
No, all I see is in all you do
Yes it is
I don't need to explain how I express myself
All the actions I believe
In passing my time until I leave
The motives never kept at bay
Though words can't convey what it is I need to say
