Let It Happen
It's always around me, all this noise
But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
Just let it happen, let it happen"
All this running around

Trying to cover my shadow

An ocean growing inside

All the others seem shallow

All this running around

Bearing down on my shoulders

I can hear an alarm

Must be a warning



I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round

It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound

And when it happens, when it happens (I'm gonna be holding on)

So let it happen, let it happen



All this running around

I can't fight it much longer

Something's trying to get out

And it's never been closer

If my ticker fails

Make up some other story

And if I never come back

Tell my mother I'm sorry



I will not vanish and you will not scare me

Try to get through it, try to bounce to it

All the while thinking I might as well do it

They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid

Take the next ticket to take the next train

Why would I do it? And you wanna think that



I will not vanish and you will not scare me

Try to get through it, try to bounce to it

All the while thinking I might as well do it

They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid

Take the next ticket to take the next train

Why would I do it? And you wanna think that



I will not vanish and you will not scare me

Try to get through it, try to bounce to it

All the while thinking I might as well do it

They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid

Take the next ticket to take the next train

Why would I do it? And you wanna think that



I will not vanish and you will not scare me

Try to get through it, try to bounce to it

All the while thinking I might as well do it

They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid

Take the next ticket to take the next train

Why would I do it? And you wanna think that



Oh, maybe I was ready all along

Oh, maybe I was ready all along

Oh, maybe all I wanted was the sound

Oh but maybe I was ready all along

Oh, maybe I was ready all along

Oh, maybe I was ready all along

Oh, maybe all I wanted was the sound

Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Nangs
But is there something more than that?
But is there something more than that?
But is there something more than that?
But is there something more than that?
But is there something more than that?
But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?

But is there something more than that?
The Moment
In the end, it's stronger than I know how to be
And I can't just spend my whole lifetime wondering
I fell in love with the sound of my heels on the wooden floor
I don't want our footsteps to be silent anymore
Want them to be in the moment

Storm clouds are closing in



In the end, it's gone, and there's nothing left to do

But I'm still not certain just how I'm gonna feel



I only know in the moment

And this sensation ain't rolling



It's getting closer, oh

It's getting closer

It's getting closer, oh

It's getting closer (it's right on time)



It's getting closer (closer every day)

It's getting closer (don't cry you'll be okay)

It's getting closer (closer call it a day)

It's getting closer (hold on, breathe if you can)

It's getting closer (I'm not dead yet)

It's getting closer (it's right on time)

It's getting closer (breathe if you can)

It's getting closer (I'm not dead yet)

It's getting closer (right on time)

It's getting closer, oh

It's getting closer
Yes I'm Changing
I was raging, it was late
In the world my demons cultivate
I felt the strangest emotion but it wasn't hate, for once
Yes I'm changing, yes I'm gone
Yes I'm older, yes I'm moving on
And if you don't think it's a crime you can come along, with me

Life is moving, can't you see

There's no future left for you and me

I was holding and I was searching endlessly

But baby, now there's nothing left that I can do so

So don't be blue

There is another future waiting there for you

I saw it different, I must admit

I caught a glimpse, I'm going after it

They say people never change, but that's bullshit, they do

Yes I'm changing, can't stop it now

And even if I wanted I wouldn't know how

Another version of myself I think I found, at last

And I can't always hide away

Curse indulgence and despise the fame

There's a world out there and it's calling my name

And it's calling yours, girl it's calling yours too

It's calling yours too, it's calling yours too, it's calling yours too

It's calling out for you



Arise and walk, come through

Someone beyond that door is calling out for you

Arise and walk, come through

It's calling out for you

Arise and walk, come through

Someone beyond that door is calling out for you
Eventually
If only there could be another way to do this
Cause it feels like murder to put your heart through this
I know I always said that I could never hurt you
Well this is the very, very last time I'm ever going to
But I know that I'll be happier

And I know you will too

Said, I know that I'll be happier

And I know you will too

Eventually

Eventually



Wish I could turn you back into a stranger

Cause If I was never in your life

You wouldn't have to change this



But I know that I'll be happier

And I know you will too

Said, I know that I'll be happier

And I know you will too

Eventually

Eventually



And I know just what I've got to do

And it's got to be soon

Cause I know that I'll be happier

And I know you will too



Eventually

Eventually

Eventually

Eventually

Eventually

Eventually

Eventually 

Eventually
Gossip
[Instrumental]
The Less I Know The Better
Someone said they left together
I ran out the door to get her
She was holding hands with Trevor
Not the greatest feeling ever
Said, "Pull yourself together
You should try your luck with Heather"

Man I hope they slept together

Oh, the less I know the better

The less I know the better



Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side

No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night

Oh my love, can't you see that you're on my mind

Don't suppose we could convince your lover to change his mind

So goodbye



She said, "It's not now or never

Wait 10 years, we'll be together"

I said, "Better late than never

Just don't make me wait forever"

Don't make me wait forever

Don't make me wait forever



Oh my love, can't you see yourself by my side?

I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind



I was doing fine without ya

'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase

Giving in to all his bullshit

Is this what you want, is this who you are?

I was doing fine without ya

'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine

Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you

Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"

Said, "Come on Superman, say your stupid line"
Past Life
I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners
Which was standard for me
Thursday, 12:30, I got a pretty solid routine these days
I don't know, it just works for me
Anyway, I was leaving I was getting in my car
And I went to adjust the rearview mirror, but in its reflection

Just for a second, I saw a figure, started to trigger

Memories of what I had learned, stopped me in my tracks

Who was that? it was my lover, my lover, from a past life



From a past life (feel like I saw a ghost)

From a past life (so unexpected)

From a past life (I was transfixed)

From a past life



Well, somewhere between a lover and a friend

It was different back then

Surreal, poetic so I'd say, like a bizarre chick flick with a confusing end

But I shut it down, closed it off

The sounds and smells I made myself forget

A cheap solution to block out a friend, but it was real

It just feels like a past life



From a past life (crazy)

From a past life (it takes a lot to trip me out)

For the first time

In a long time



So I go about my day as normal

But I can't seem to pass it off as just a random event

It consumes me

I thought I was moving on but I guess I was just switching off

And now I see my life as the banal slog it instantly became

And I don't know if I can go on the same

But I don't wanna dig up old bones

I mean, I don't even know if she has the same phone number

Who knows? Maybe she does



From a past life

(I guess there's no harm in trying)

From a past life

(What's the worst that could happen?)

For the first time

In a long time

(I tried to say it but it never came out right)

Past life

From a past life (you're not a stranger if you're always on my mind)

For the first time (I know it's late, it just didn't feel right)

In a long time



Hello?
Disciples
'Cause I was still unsure
But it's something I'm used to
And I can tell by your face
No one's ever been rude to you
But I can tell you things
That I can't say to anyone

And you came out today

But you didn't stay very long



Now it's like the world owes you

Walking around like everybody should know you

I want to be like we used to

But now you're worried 'cause that means we'd lose you

And I had no idea

What that feeling could do to you

And I could tell you've changed

All the people around you

I used to take the long way

Just so I could walk past your door

I used to wait outside

But I guess I won't anymore



So much I want to tell you

So much I want to tell you
'Cause I'm A Man
[Verse 1]
Like the brutal autumn sun
It dawns on me, what have I done?
Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why
But it buys me a little more time
Lost in the moment for a second time

Each fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry

I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why

In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why



[Chorus]

Cause I'm a man, woman

Don't always think before I do

Cause I'm a man, woman

That's the only answer I've got for you

Cause I'm a man, woman

Not often proud of what I choose

I'm a human, woman

A greater force I answer to



[Verse 2]

Once again, as it takes a hold

I am aware I'm not in control

You see, I have a conscience and it's never fooled

But it's prone to be overruled

You wanna know what I always think I'm bind by

You never accept defeat or let it slide

But I have no voice if I don't speak my mind

My weakness is the source of all my pride, I'll tell you why



[Chorus]

Cause I'm a man, woman

Don't always think before I do

Cause I'm a man, woman

That's the only answer I've got for you

Cause I'm a man, woman

I'll never be as strong as you

I'm a human, human

A greater force I answer to
Reality In Motion
I'm edging closer, shivers all over
It's way too real, I'm way too sober
Usually they've got you covered all over
Lack of composure, I'm walking over
What will I do?
I never had a chance to



There's no one else around you

Not that I was waiting, vision ever fading

Heading for the deep end

Soon as I remember, baby, I surrender

I just need to breathe out

Decisions are approaching, reality in motion



Trying to be patient but I'm feeling ancient

Trying to control the way that I'm facing

Suppose that I didn't care anymore

Fate can decide, I can ignore

I'll just pretend that I always knew

That I had the chance to



There's no one else around you

I've done all this waiting, vision ever fading

Making such a promise

Only leads to heartache, closer to an earthquake

Talk about a heartache

Try to stay in motion



It made my heart run in circles and overflow

And I was closer than ever to letting go

It made my heart run in circles in overdrive

And I was closer than ever to feeling alive

It made my heart run in circles and overflow

And I was closer than ever to letting go

It made my heart run in circles in overdrive

And I was closer than ever to feeling alive



There's no one else around you

Not that I was waiting, vision ever fading

Heading for the deep end

Soon as I remember, baby, I surrender

I just need to breathe out

Decisions are approaching, reality in motion

Let's not think about it

Put your arms around me, I can sense you doubt me

You don't need to promise

That only leads to heartache, closer to an earthquake

Talk about a heartache

All that's left to do, all that's left to do

All that's left to do, all that's left to do

All that's left to do, all that's left to do

All that's left to do, all that's left to do

All that's left to do, all
Love/Paranoia
I may not be as honest as I ought to be now that
When the walls go up, I said it didn't worry me
But it hit me and I cannot hold it in
No, I can just be paranoid, don't quell the desire to know
What was really going on, does it really fucking matter?
Babe is all you can ask me, okay, fair play here we go



I've heard those words before

Are you sure it was nothing

Cause it made me feel like dying inside

Never thought I was insecure, but it's pure

Didn't notice until I was in love for real

And if we're gonna cross the line

Just to find what shit's happening

If only I could reach your mind

Oh I'd be fine, I'd be normal

Now's my time, gonna do it



And suddenly I'm the phony one

The only one with a problem

True love is bringing it out of me

The worst in me, and I know now

Do you remember the time we were

The time we were by the ocean

I didn't care if it was day or night

The world was right where I wanted

Girl I'm sorry

Babe I mean it

Babe I'm sorry
New Person, Same Old Mistakes
I can just hear them now
"How could you let us down?"
But they don't know what I felt
Or see it from this way around
Feeling it overtake
All that I used to hate

Wonder what if we trade

I tried but it's way too late

All the slides I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

When I breathe in too deep

Going with what I always longed for



Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I don't care I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what is love

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop while it's not too late)

(I know there's too much at stake)

(Making the same mistakes)

And I still don't know why it's happening

(Stop before it's too late)

And I still don't know



Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

On this side of the rut

I'm thinking like what

I'm thinking it's worth the fight

Soon to be out of sight

Moving it out this time

Going with what I always longed for



Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I don't care I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what is love

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's too late)



Man, I know that it's hard to digest

But baby this love is so different from the rest

And I know it seems hard to accept

But you've got to do it, and she's got her regrets

And I know that it's hard to digest

I really know this shit is as good as it gets

And I know it seems hard to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets



Feel like a brand new person

So happy to know that it's right

In a new direction

So happy to know I've come to fall

Stop thinking that the only option was

Feel like a brand new person

I finally know what it's like

Stop thinking that the only option was

So happy to know I've come to fall

Stop thinking that the only option was

And I know it's hard to describe

Stop thinking that the only option was

So happy to know that it's right
