THE CLIMB 2 04:15
How could I forget the longing? It burns through my bones With nowhere to go, but out They tried to take my place of power when they thought I wasn't looking But that's all behind On with the Climb, for now When I look at your face I can read every line Through space and the time that still remains I can see another way that we can climb up It's not like they've won It's not like I'm done, just yet
2.
I saw you on the shoulder down on highway 1 Yeah you were skipping with a smile and your headphones on You've never seen someone alone who's having so much fun I had to pull off the road If I could meet you, you could show me What you're into, and I'd know your secrets If it's not weird, we should hang out Cuz I'm not afraid Carve your name on the side of my heart If it's real I wanna feel it till it all goes dark In the car I know you'll sing along to every part Cuz you're not afraid You're really twice as cool as I thought you'd be They tell me amber is the color of your energy ;) You're like a friend's older sister when you're teasing me Yeah we've got it made You're a singer, and you're fond of- Early Winger, and Madonna Yeah it's so soon, but I wanna Leave town with you (Chorus) (Chorus)
3.
GOOD RUN 02:59
I think we had a good run But I gotta bounce when shit ain't fun You see me heading for the door I guess I need a little more Yeah I loved getting lost in your long blonde hair But you can't pull it over my eyes I could tie up a noose just to let it hang there But I'd never ever take my own life I think we had a good run But you gotta know when something's done You couldn't meet me at the edge (no) Of a life that's filled with death Cuz I've been where you are and clawed my way out The hard way, the dark way I know it's so hard cuz all that we are is all we could be
4.
FALLBACK 03:32
When the still of the night plunges into your heart Would you pull it out, or let it tear you apart? The taste of something bitter is filling your mouth You swallow it down even though you should spit it out So why not? Give us a shot I've seen you fall Now get back up Can we be taught? To cope with loss A little faith Would mean a lot So return the key to my weary heart That you took when I first saw you Can't forget the way that you looked at me Now I wish I never met you Fast forward quickly now the end I know it's hard but I'm getting too old to pretend I'll hunt this feeling down to the ends of the earth Because it's agony to be forever seen and not heard (Chorus) There was never a vision our world could not accommodate Raising glasses to Bacchus and just playing out our fates It was never a struggle if we were forced to go it alone Fall back upon your throne (Chorus)
5.
RURAL HURT 02:34
What it is to be a growing thing, getting tall against the wind- And bitter rain that shoots your way, though your stalk would never bend Would the little bugs that gnaw at you ever wanna know their place? If they clung to you forever would they ever get a taste? I don't know I don't think so Will it hit you on your way out? Slap your ass like a paddleboat What are you so afraid of? Is there anything that I can do? You can sleep on my floor If you move to the city What are you so afraid of? If I can help I will help you What it is to be a living thing, needing space to breathe and be When there's only so much room for a person who is truly free Swimming here and swimming there Looking frantic for a bigger pond I'm here to lend a helping hand, but I don't have a magic wand Would the little bugs that gnaw at you ever wanna know their place? If they clung to you forever would they ever get a taste? I don't know I don't think so (Chorus)

I've seen you walking on a distant shore Waiting for a friendly ship to land You'd spot a dot on the horizon, and Start laying welcome mats out in the sand I tried to help you, to build a boat to cross the busy bay It soon overwhelmed you, and then you slapped my hand away The waves will sing their song and so will I Until we both crash on a rocky reef Tell me your secrets and they'll die with me I've got a few that I could never keep It's so hard to tell you, that the ships will never really come Don't live with the promise, of a tune that I could never hum So come away with me, let's leave this land And sail to somewhere on the edge of dreams Pull that anchor up, say "bon voyage" it's not as distant as it used to seem The shore behind us now is in the past We've been pulled as far as winds can blow And though you always ask if we are lost- That is something I might never know
7.
I've seen what life can do But now you're fucking with the wrong dude I've got a job to do, chipping pieces off an old truth I've lost my follow-through, wasting hours in the arms of a bad mood We're not the only fools, who haven't given up on something new It hurts me now that it's over To never see how this story ends Don't call me begging for closure You've got a will that breaks but won't bend I've seen what death can do Plucking homies when they ain't ripe I've lost a friend or two Do me a favor and stay alive another night We are those chosen few Cursed and Blessed in the same breath We've still got work to do, cuz every day we die a tiny death It hurts me now that it's over To never see how this story ends Don't call me begging for closure You've got a will that breaks but won't bend
8.
Just give me that 'oo-wee' When there ain't no lights on Wanna feel like something When I'm going down hard The icicles are dripping In this cabin that we found unlocked While we're on this streak of living Let's shut our mouths and let our bodies talk I know you want me, cuz I see you bite your lower lip and squeeze my hand You're a bully, in the bedroom- But I don't have to lead when we do this dance (chorus) We've gone from lincoln logs to sweat lodge From the comfort of our steamy posts Just when I think the fever's breaking You're moaning loud enough to summon ghosts I know you want me, cuz I see you bite your lower lip and squeeze my hand You're a bully, in the bedroom- But I don't have to lead when we do this dance (chorus)
9.
So what do we get now? The world is winding down It's time to take our bows And blend back into the crowd But- I was promised one glimpse of heaven Even with borrowed eyes And- Living only hurts if you let it So as we say our goodbyes, I recognize That we are letting go Of what we used to know as perfection Because it never gets better than this I'm coming back for more Cuz what the hell are we living for? Don't lay your bullshit on me When you're too hoarse to shout Will anything worth saying come out? Or will your words lose their power? I feel the spirit rise I'll chop those fuckers back down to size You know the truth is out there But no one cares (chorus) Now you're too hoarse to shout Did anything worth saying come out? Or did your words lose their power?

SUMMERSLAM 02:27
I've been in love, I've broke some hearts, I have a few regrets I've felt the pains of growing up But when it comes to simple things that fill me up with hope You know there's always just enough Stop sulking, cuz I'm working hard on your behalf No pity, committee- please don't make me laugh When summer comes the little kids all spill outside to worship At the temple of the sun The waves respond by reaching out to pluck them up and pull them out- Not to be outdone Quit bitchin, cuz I'm wishin- we'll turn this ship around Our struggle, we juggle balls bound for the ground The time will come on some odd night You find yourself warmed only by the fires of your heart So stoke them up or put them out, It's up to you I guess Cuz it's a solitary art Stop sulking, cuz I'm working hard on your behalf It's over, no closure- put it on my tab
