These feelings keep changing shapes and rearranging this space
And all I want is one last goodbye and one more chance to see your face
Time moves while I'm sitting still with or without my will
These changes keep taking place and I cannot tell you to your face
You have broken me, you, you have broken me and now I see
Each line I write, each word I speak will never be enough for me
Each purpose driven still but I don't see how I can heal
One wonders how life can be so unpredictable and bleak
And maybe a light will shine again on me
You have broken me, you, you have broken me
And now I see
Put me back
Put me back together
Put me back together, together again
Put me back

Slowly unravelling, this tugging at the thread
it's got me dizzy in my head
It's just one more gravitational pull to ignore
You are music to my ears that I can't hear
But you know the story and how it's gonna end
I'm not gonna read into it, it's just gonna stay in my head
You know the story and how it's gonna end
I'm not gonna read into, it'll just stay in my head
This is what it will come to
Voices in the air
A smile here and there
Words will just take place
And not mean anything at all
Just to bide time til' we fall
You'll look at me, I'll look at you and look away
and we can play that game, play that game everyday
But you know the story and how it's gonna end
I'm not gonna read into it, it's just gonna stay in my head
You know the story and how it's gonna end
I'm not gonna read into, it'll just stay in my head
So the lesson here can not be learned if you're always getting what you want
So read between the lines for once, read between the lines for once
We've lost ourselves in so much space...filled with memories and things that we can't replace
All these dreams keep drifting endlessly. I can't put them down, they're inside of me
Out of my hands 4x's
I write it down so I don't forget...these things that inspire me I will soon regret
We break the silence when we hit the ground...the puzzle pieces all come crashing down
Out of my hands 4x's
It's so quiet, all I can hear are my thoughts
I try to fight it but I lose and I get caught up
I wanna know that you're there cause I can't see you anymore
I wish I knew ahead of time but no one knows what the future holds
I don't wanna get that call, just like that we lost it all
I just can't make sense of this, too late to talk you out of it
ooh ooh help is on the way, please stay
All these tears are dried up on my face
All my fears multiplied in one single day
I don't wanna let it go, you're smile, you're voice, you're music
I want it all back
I just cannot let it go
So here alone I write it all down
I don't want to get that call
Just like that we lost it all
ooh ooh help is on the way, please stay 2x's
...and it all ties together, oh it all ties together, it all ties together, oh it all ties together...

Firefly, you fly all around
Firefly you fly lighting up this town
A voice behind says turn your frown upside down
Firefly you fly without any sound
Afraid to shine, afraid to shine
Well you shine
And you're all mine
You're all mine...firefly
You and I have been here once before
Two hearts that cannot be ignored
Firefly you fly up and down
Firefly you fly lighting up my sky
Afraid to shine
Afraid to shine
Well you shine
You shine...you're all mine...you're all mine
Lately I lose track of time but it always catches up with me
My heart's a heavy stone inside anchoring all I believe
I'm an empty teacup on the shelf waiting to be held
Come and find me fill me up, take me while I'm here
Fill it in with color, a brand new mistake
I'll take the thought of it and twist it til' it breaks
My hands are shaky once again
This lonely heart can never win
All these things that weigh me down swim a jagged line
I watch my feet touch the ground, waiting for a sign
Fill it in with color, a brand new mistake
I'll take the thought of it and twist it til' it breaks
My hands are shaky once again
This lonely heart could never win, it could never win
And I wait and skate around the truth and I shake and shiver at the thought of seeing you
And I wait and skate around the truth. I shake and shiver at the thought of losing you
I wrote this song about my brother and myself and the journey we shared as children into early adulthood.
Little girl oh you stand so small but your dreams stand infinitely tall over you, over you
Who knew someday you'd reach the stars after pulling yourself apart year after year
You didn't believe for a moment you'd ever move forward again
You weren't prepared for the season to warm you and let you in so you could start over again
Little boy with your smile so bright while you're holding her hand so tight
You shine oh you shine
Who knew someday you'd figure out what everyone was talking about
and you'd fly oh you'd fly
You didn't believe for a moment you'd ever move forward again
You weren't prepared for the season to warm you and let you in
So you could start over again
We are grown now, on our own now 4x's
In the corner of my mind I am fine
There's no crippling fear of any kind
til' I look out from my eyes and realize
I'm not alone, no longer safe inside my home
Where are all the walls I built outside of me?
No longer locked up but too scared to be free
They have all fallen down around me 3x's
I can talk myself to death but nothing that I've said seems to stay, I run away anyway
To a far off place inside where I can hide and pretend I'm not the person that I am
Where are all the walls I built outside of me?
No longer locked up but too scared to be free
They have all fallen down around me 3x's
Too busy to say hi, that's a lie, what will it take for my hands to stop shaking
Where are all the walls I built outside of me?
No longer locked up but too scared to be free
They have all fallen down around me...
I don't know where this is going
I think we've been here once before
there's a dismal air we're breathing, a kind of cold dysphoria
And I try to make my way back to the top but the weight is pulling me down
And sometimes I need to find a way to stop but there's trouble turning around
Turn me around
No more excuses not to get out of bed
I hear you're brave enough to see
Survived a million hells and the holes in between
Go on you've got a mouth to feed
And I try to make my way back to the top but their weight is pulling me down
And sometimes I need to find a way to stop but there's trouble turning around
Turn me around, turn me around
And where's the line? Where do we draw it? And when's the time to give out to give up to give in?
Turn me, turn me, turn me
oh won't you please, won't you please turn me around...
