"Echo Park"
Today it rained in L.A.
Smog's been beaten down for awhile
Drove up a hill where I could feel the ocean...
And see for miles
Feels like the top of the world
Right here the world's all mine
Here i lie watching the cars on the highway
You're one of those lights that's driving away
I'm standing in the dark wondering where you are
I'm leaving my heart here in Echo Park.
Today you said you were leaving,
Couldn't let you see me cry
You can take what you want to
But won't let you take my pride
Feels like the top of the world
Right here the world's all mine
[Chorus]
Here i lie watching the cars on the highway
You're one of those lights that's driving away
I'm standing in the dark wondering where you are
I'm leaving my heart here in Echo Park.
And the cars look smaller from here
And the sky looks bigger from here
And now that everything is clear
Everything falls apart...
[Chorus]
Here i lie watching the cars on the highway
You're one of those lights that's driving away
I'm standing in the dark wondering where you are...
Wondering where you are... in Echo Park, in Echo Park!
"Take It All Away"
So much beauty in life
Shining on the outside
Empty on the inside
I get lost sometimes
Blinded by the flashing lights
Distractions always in my eyes
So i'm following the sound, the sound of my heart
Beating
[chorus]
You can take it all away
I don't need it
Underneath, i'll still be the same
You can take it all away
I don't need it, it's not me
You can take it all, take it all away
I'll still be the same
Are you hiding still?
Don't you want to love yourself?
Don't you know that someone will?
Time can turn it around
Leave it all and strip it down
That's the only way to find it out
Are you following the sound, the sound of your heart?
Beating
[chorus]
Coming in with nothing, leaving with the same
It's all inside
Coming in with nothing, the only thing that saves
Is here inside
[chorus]
"Shame On Me"
I know you wanna talk
And tell me about your day
But i keep wandering off
Oooh how your hair...
falls in front of your face
While you try to keep it up
I've always paid attention to your point of view
But now i want to focus on the rest of you
Shame on me wanting you
The way i fantasize about
What i'd give, what i'd do
I just want to work you out
Times like this I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
Shame on me another time
Please dont walk away
I'm only drifting 'cause you look so good tonight
Now that we're alone it's so hard to listen
You know you got me mesmerized
I've always paid attention to your point of view
But now i want to focus on the rest of you
[Chorus]
Shame on me wanting you
The way i fantasize about
What i'd give, what i'd do
I just want to work you out
Times like this I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
Shame on me another time
I've always paid attention to your point of view
But now i want to focus on the rest of you
Shame on me wanting...
[Chorus]
Shame on me wanting you
The way i fantasize about
What i'd give, what i'd do
I just want to work you out
Times like this I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
Shame on me
"She's"
She looks into my eyes and i'm alive again
And when she says goodbye, I just die again
That's when my restlessness begins
Please don't let it win
I'm so tired again
But underneath the haze
One thing still remains the same
She's the only love I've known
And now she's gone away
She's the light that brought me to the edge
Will i ever love again?
She walked into my life and my world was still
She reached into my soul and all my doubts were killed
That's when my loneliness subsided
She gave me the will,
I could fight it
But nothing can erase the one thing that remains the same
[Chorus]
She's the only love I've known
And now she's gone away
She's the light that brought me to the edge
Will i ever love again?
So just tell me what i should do
I left everything for you
And i can't hardly breathe
'Cause i know i lost you from my world
From my...
[Chorus]
She's the only love I've known
And now she's gone away
She's the light that brought me to the edge
Will i ever love again?
She's the only love I've known
And now she's gone away
She's the light that brought me to the edge
Will i ever love again??
"Illusions"
Middle of the night and it's getting so hard to breathe.
You can't sleep, can't think, can't hardly dream.
Do you fear what the world wants you to be?
Open your eyes and just see what the world is,
Open your mind and you're free.
There's more in this world than we see,
Just leave these illusions behind and run with me.
If all of the things that you thought you would be,
Pass you by.
We'll find what we need in our lives.
We'll find what we need in our lives.
I spent a lifetime hoping it would come to me.
Getting lost in the lies I believed.
We're covered by a mask that we think is our sin,
But we never realized that the truth is within.
Open your eyes and just see what the world is,
Open your mind and you're free.
There's more in this world than we see,
Just leave these illusions behind and run with me.
If all of the things that you thought you would be,
Pass you by.
And what are you hiding from?
Is it safe there inside your walls?
'Cause your chance is bound to come,
If you're strong enough to live at all.
We'll find what we need in our lives.
We'll find what we need in our lives.
Open your eyes and just see what the world is,
Open your mind and you're free.
There's more in this world than we see,
Just leave these illusions behind and run with me.
If all of the things that you thought you would be,
Pass you by. Pass you by.
There's more in this world than we see,
Just leave these illusions behind and run with me.
If all of the things that you thought you would be,
Pass you by.
We'll find what we need in our lives.
We'll find what we need in our lives.
"Blind Sight"
Life, its crazy how some things never work out,
But I'm hoping that this time goes right,
Cause I've tried so hard
to keep you hanging on this life,
But you always have to try and fight
[CHORUS]
I'm scared and I'm running, and I'm running out of time.
And all this time, always thought we were invinsible,
Time, it's gone so fast, all it took was one night back,
to crash it all into the ground,
Now two gone deep in a predictable last scene,
I never thought it'd be you and me
So what do we do?
I tell you I'm afraid just like you,
but by the time we're done thinking it's gone,
So don't waste your life,
just look at me and remember the time,
the time my angel came to stay
Take me away.
[CHORUS]
I'm scared and I'm running, and I'm running out of time
And all this time, I always thought we were invinsible,
Now I'm scared that it's over, and will I have another time to live?
So that day, you drank away, all alone in some way,
all thats left is me to blame,
but I just want to wake up from this dream
Well I'm scared, and I'm running, and I'm running out of time
And all this time, always thought we were invinsible,
Now I'm scared that it's over, it's over, and will I have another time to live?
