LYRICS
Daylight
Whatever daylight we have left
Let's make a promise unto death
That we spend it well, spend it well
You and I are but a breath in all of time
Livin' life like it's a never ending climb
Days pass slow, we fill 'em with the same old same old
But every day's a new arrival
Each turn, a new horizon
Want it to keep surprising me
Whatever daylight we have left
Let's make a promise unto death
That we spend it well, spend it well
How many heartbeats in our chest
No way to know until we rest
So let's spend it well, spend it well
There's no time To make believe we're standing by
We're in motion Like the never-ending tide
We won't fold And just sit beside the road
Everybody's got a race
That we were made to chase
Don't leave a second wasted
Whatever daylight we have left
Let's make a promise unto death
That we spend it well, spend it well
How many heartbeats in our chest
No way to know until we rest
So let's spend it well, spend it well
Monument
Said goodbye to house and home
Set off for the great unknown
Didn't we hear that voice
That sent our spirits reeling
Trembling before the choice
But couldn't shake the feeling
This is the moment when everything's clear
We know who we are, we know why we're here
Before all we have are feathers caught in the wind
We'll raise a monument
Mountaintops that called our name
Looming closer day by day
Didn't they seem so small
When standing at a distance?
Looking back I can't recall
A path of worse resistance
One day we say we've come alive
The next we think we've lost our minds
Are we crazy? Are we doing well?
It's getting harder and harder and harder to tell
Write it all down in stone
I know this won't last long...
Alone Together
I've heard everybody talking
I've heard that the worst is yet to come
They say we won't even notice
They say it's a matter of time
They say we're two birds singing in a cage in a coal mine
I don't wanna be alone together
I don't wanna be close like stars
Side by side, my love, but still a million miles apart
I'm not scared that you're gonna leave me
I'm scared that you're gonna stay
And you'll be alone with your memories
And I'll be alone in my mind
And we'll be those two birds singing in the cage in the coal mine
I don't wanna be alone together
I don't wanna be close like stars
Side by side, love, but still a million miles apart
I don't wanna spend a life pretending
Tied together and tired of
A neverending story of us
Ever falling out of love
House on Fire
I was raised to run away from anything on fire
And never told that everything gold was refined in flame
When it came to friction I fixed my eyes onto the floor
And when they closed the door, I learned to do the same
I was taught that love was always easy, always fine
It never crossed my mind that we could ever be so far gone
The more I bite my tongue, the more we seem to fall apart
The more I start to think that maybe I was wrong
This is like running headlong straight into a hurricane
It's breaking down the door to a house on fire
All you wanted was to know that I was on your side
All I wanted was to keep the wolves at bay
I kept myself protected at the cost of being true
Oh, but I won't make you pay that price today
This is like running headlong straight into a hurricane
It's breaking down the door to a house on fire
It's closing in to panic in the pouring rain
It's fighting for the thing I most desire
Come what may, we'll find a way to make it all work out
I gave you my word, and you gave me your solemn vow
It's funny, I know, but what I wanna know right now
Is would you say it again when the world is burning down?
Would you say it again when the world is burning down?
Close Eye
You've been quiet as a Sunday morning
More and more as the weeks go by
I've been looking at you all night
Oh you're not alright
And I know we're not fine
I'm reaching out, but the words aren't forming
I'm not sure how to break the ice
I don't want to hear you say you're alright
If you're not alright
And I know you're not fine
You and me, babe
We might've got lost along the way
But I'm gonna keep a
Close eye
on your heart today
You and me, babe
We've come too far now just to throw it away
And I'm gonna retrace
Through time
To your heart today
I can own my share of the burden
I dig my heels and refuse to change
Bring it to a knock-down, drag-out fight
Cause I wanna be right
And I know it's not fine
(So) Let's take a drive and just start turning
Find a place we can see the sun rise
We can work it out, yeah we'll make it alright
If it takes all night
Oh we're gonna be fine
You and me, babe
We might've got lost along the way
But I'm gonna keep a
Close eye
on your heart today
You and me, babe
We've come too far now just to throw it away
And I'm gonna retrace
Through time…
To get back to your heart
Get back to your heart
Get back to your heart
Get back, get back to your heart
Get back, get back to your heart
Get back, get back to your heart
Invocation
We have come a long way
We traveled all day to be here now
You have got a seat at the table
It's yours if you're able to stick around
Will the time tonight be worth it?
Well, darlin, I don't know
Not a one of us is sure how this might go
So meet me in the valley
And we'll lay down in the snow
Like we're waiting for the northern lights to show
And you'll feel it like an arm around your shoulder
And it seems to stop the aching in your bones
If it lingers in your memory when it's over
Then I hope it feels a little bit like home
We are holding our breath
For whatever comes next
For what we find
You could hold on to your secret
Or maybe we could release it
To the emerald sky
And I wrote down what I'd tell you
But it never turns out right
Heavens knows it's hard to say the things we mean
So I'll sing it like I'd say it
Nothing hidden in between
That you're welcome and you're wanted and you're seen
And you feel it like an arm around your shoulder
And it seems to stop the aching in your bones
If it lingers in your memory when it's over
Then I hope it feels a little bit like home
(It's like coming home
It's like coming home
It's like coming home again.)
And you feel it like an arm around your shoulder
And it seems to stop the aching in your bones
If it lingers in your memory when it's over
Then I hope it feels a little bit like home
Yeah, I hope it feels a little bit like home
Break My Heart
Everybody here knows just how this one goes
Started out thinking that you didn't wanna get that close
Do you go? Do you go? Do you go?
Everybody here knows just how this one feels
Your heart begins to open and
Your head begins to reel
And it goes. And it goes. And it goes.
You and I are passengers who just can't stop the train
(We're) headed for the one goodbye that we can't bring ourselves to say
You see it coming for a long time, but you can't get out of the way
I know you're gonna break my heart someday.
Everybody here knows just how this plays out
Wondered if you'd ever love anything that you could not live without
Now you know. Now you know. Now you know
(That) you and I are passengers who just can't stop the train
Headed for the one goodbye that we can't bring ourselves to say
You see it coming for a long time, but you can't get out of the way
I know you're gonna break my heart someday.
I'm gonna hold on until then
And make the most of every moment
That we have until the end
When we go. When we go. When we go
You and I are passengers who just can't stop the train
Headed for the one goodbye that we can't bring ourselves to say
I've seen it coming for a long time, but I won't get out of the way
I know you're gonna break my heart
I know you're gonna break my heart
I know you're gonna break my heart someday
