Prop Me Up

That picture seems out of place
Now that I've the time to wait
I'll see if it's in the stars
Maybe it's all a waste
Prop me up (the way you love me)
Leave me lifeless (the way you want me)
The note that you left me then
Was meant to be sent again
I'll see if it comes in clear by now
You've found another friend
Prop me up (the way you love me)
Leave me lifeless (the way you want me)
Prop me up (the way you love me)
You're so loveless (the way you want me)
What's with the flashing lights?
(You're all I want tonight)
Have we got one more night?
(You're all I want tonight)
Don't tell me you're happier now
You're all I want tonight
(Prop me up)
You're all I want tonight
(Prop me up)
You're all I want tonight
(Prop me up)
You're all I want tonight
(Prop me up)
You're all I want tonight

I'm no good at what I do best, I'm no good for you
I'm no good at what I do best, I'm no good for you
I'm no good at feeling like this, I'm so into you
Audio sunshine, audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine shining on
(solo)
I'm no good at what I do best, I'm no good for you
I'm no good at feeling like this, I'm so into you
Audio sunshine, audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine, audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine shining on
You keep running through my mind
Just like a note that won't keep time
You are the rhythm to my rhyme
You are the light that can't decide
You are the note that will not hide
You are the rhythm to my rhyme
Audio sunshine, audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine, audio sunshine shining on
Audio sunshine shining on

A Thousand Yards
02:47
|
|||
|
Over and over shining seas in flight
In keeping a promise never told
I walked with my brother in the mind's fading light
And carry him back to our home
No one can fight sand
All it has is time
These haunted memories
Of what's left behind
A whisper's like thunder when it hurts to think
I push stone uphill far too steep
I search for some cover but it's gone in a blink
Life's but a dream, I can't sleep
No one can fight sand
All it has is time
These haunted memories
Of what's left behind
(break)
No one can fight sand (There's still some memory)
All it has is time (It's now my enemy)
These haunted memories (There's still some memory)
Of what's left behind (It's now my enemy)
I don't wanna feed your anger (There's still some memory)
I just wanna be your pride (It's now my enemy)
A thousand yards feels like forever (There's still some memory)
A precious heartbeat by my side
Music by Bing Quiogue, words by Mike Panico

Oh no, she's going without me
Where is she now?
Oh no she's going without me
Has she gone far?
Ropes that jump break me
Roads that run race me
Ropes that jump break me
Roads that run race me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Oh no, she's going with him now
And she's gone far
Oh no she's making a mistake
Where is she now?
Ropes that jump break me
Roads that run race me
Ropes that jump break me
Roads that run race me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
(solo)
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me
Cause babe, you know me

Another Planet
03:50

Doesn't anyone at all want anyone to notice?
Doesn't anyone at all want anyone to know this?
That you could take me away to another planet
And you could show me the way to another planet
Cause Ive got a long way to go
I've got a long way to go
I've got a long way to go
I've got a long way to go
Why would anyone at all take anything for granted?
Why does anyone at all take anyone for granted?
But you could take me away to another planet
And you could show me the way to another planet
Cause Ive got a long way to go
I've got a long way to go
I've got a long way to go
I've got a long way to go
And you better know
You better know
You better know
You better know
