It's quiet out
I can hear you now
We escaped the crowd
And left unfound
So speak your mind
And speak it loud
'cause now's the time
And I've got my own
Point of view, point of view
View of you
View of you, view of you
Can you touch the sky
See me fly
Can you taste the rain
Take the pain, oh
Can you save me?
Can you change me?
Change my
Point of view, point of view
View of you
View of you, view of you
Point of view, point of view
View of you
View of you, view of you

Welcome
03:35

Welcome to a life of broken dreams
And broken hearts that never heal
Oh, welcome to fear
That I will fail, no matter how hard I try
Welcome
I'd hate to leave to leave so soon
Ahh
Think back to a time when you were young
Those times were fun, but now they're gone
It won't be long now
The time has come
It's been fun
So pick up the pieces and move on
Welcome
I'd hate to leave to soon
Ahh

Try

You know, I'm still not sure who I am
A soul lost at sea
Or maybe, maybe
A drag on society
You know I didn't want to
Be here this long
Well, I try, I try, and I try again
Oh yeah
And do you know what they say
What they say, what they say to me
We don't care
Try again another day
You know, I've said everything I have to say
There's nothing new under the sun
I'm still learning how to run
You can never stop
You cannot stop
But I try, I try, and I try again
Oh yeah
And do you know what they say
What they say, what they say to me
We don't care
Try again another day
And I try, I try, and I try again
Oh yeah
And do you know what they say
What they say, what they say to me
We don't care
Try again another day

Teach a Thing (Or Three)

We were standing near the chandelier
I said, "nice to meet ya"
You looked confused
Maybe I had extra ears and had too much to drink to
I'm from out of town
You feel right at home
Well, you bought a gown
Let's not let it down
Light up the room
Won't you dance with me, yeah, with me, with me, yeah
Let's show these old fools
Teach a thing or three, yeah, or three
We're swirling, we're falling
Falling through the wormhole
Lost again, correcting course
Supersonic engine
You're catching eyes, including mine
We're dressed to the nines
Once a year, I'm glad I'm here
Light up the room
Won't you dance with me, yeah, with me, with me, yeah
Let's show these old fools
Teach a thing or three, yeah, or three
Light up the room
Won't you dance with me, yeah, with me, with me, yeah
Let's show these old fools
Teach a thing or three, yeah, or three
Three, yeah
Light up the room
Won't you dance with me, yeah, with me, with me, yeah
Let's show these old fools
Teach a thing or three, yeah, or three
Three, yeah
Light up the room
Won't you dance with me, yeah, with me, with me, yeah
Let's show these old fools
Teach a thing or three, yeah, or three

Heaven Can't Help Us Now
03:49

We're not gonna last forever
We're all gonna fall apart
We knew that this would happen
From the start
Can you hear what I'm saying
A signal though the noise
Or is it lost in translation
By choice
'cause heaven can't help us now
Until we're dead, and then what the hell
will it matter then
Can we try again
Can we try again
No
We're not gonna last forever
We're all gonna turn to dust
It really doesn't matter who we trust
Or who we love
They say the grass is greener
But what's on the other side?
Is it better, or is there nothing at all?
Or is it both?
'cause heaven can't help us now
Until we're dead, and then what the hell
will it matter then
Can we try again
Can we try again
No
'cause heaven can't help us now
Until we're dead, and then what the hell
will it matter then
Can we try again
Can we try again
No
'cause heaven can't help us now
Until we're dead, and then what the hell
will it matter then
Can we try again
Can we try again
No
