Vedera Album

Here in a box I hide the letters
Written, postmarked with your name
Secrets I wish I could only share
With a heart that feels, feels the same

And here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're greater
Than our lonely fears

Here's where the notes were torn and crumbled
Before feelings could reach the page
Try to replace some sober thought
From emotion, fists held up with rage

And here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're so much greater
Than

Here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're greater
Than our lonely fears

Though I'm a simple mind, I know
I can see the picture drawn out here
You are the reason I have found
To keep believing in these years

And though the road is long
The trying keeps us holding on this way
And make no mistake, this is love
Love, love, love, this is love, love

And here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're so much greater
Than

Here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're greater
Than our lonely fears

I don't know how long I've been here
the days all run together
You're gone but you won't disappear
Traces of you will last forever
It feels like...
If I hold my breath you'll walk in any second
and tell me it was all a mistake, cant believe that you left and
It haunts me to hold you this close
but hurts me more to let go
That's why I'm still loving ghosts
They say I should get on with my life
but I can't even get up
I'd rather believe in this beautiful lie
than admit you're really gone forever

Every sense is screaming
every hair stands on my skin
every room I feel it. You are here!
Baby I'm not seeing, but I'm still believing
My heartbreak a chance worth taking
so on this floor I'll still be waiting

and OH...I feel you this close now
....I'm still loving ghosts now

If there was a way to try and make it back
Back to where we started from
Could I find a way to try and make you stay
Would I know what could be done?

I don't want to deny my heart its chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul something real

Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy me?
Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy you tonight?

We were sailing on
I could see the world below
Never thought of coming down
Expectations fell
It seemed as though our will was no match for the trouble found

So take my hand and i wont look back
Though I've lived tossed along these waves
I will stay

Use this time to step aside
And look around with your feeble eyes
Use this time to forget me
Use these days to lie awake
And feel the loss of my embrace
But don't use anymore of me

And how do you say
And how do you say
"I forgive you"?
And how do you know
And how do you know
When to choose to?
And when to move along?

Use your hands to feel the man
I gave my plan and off you went
To find someone new who is not me
Use your favorite photograph
To play the recent memory back
Are you still as cold as I am?

Well it started off a simple black and blue
Hidden behind the untrue
But now it's surfacing
I need to be released
From the love that was you
From the love that was you

Cause I want to say
And I want to say
"I forgive you"
And I want to know
And I want to know
When to choose to
And when to move along
And when to move along

What do you see when you close your eyes?
Do you watch all your dreams go by?
I'll tell you what I see.

You're an uncut diamond,
You're the rarest star;
A lone bird dying to fly so far;
A beautiful mystery.
That's what you are.
Such a beautiful mystery.

So, baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams just pass you by,
This is your time.

Even though we know that it's bittersweet,
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
So goodbye my love.
Yeah goodbye my love.

Like a violent storm on a quiet day,
Your heart is torn between go and stay.
I know that you love me,
But get on your way.
Yeah I know that you love me.

So baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams just pass you by,
This is your time.

Even though we know that it's bittersweet,
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.

And don't second guess yourself.
Yeah you know what you need.
Don't waste your moment worrying about me.

So goodbye my love.
Yeah goodbye my love.

Baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams pass you by.
This is your time.

Even though we know that it's bittersweet.
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.

You're an uncut diamond,
You're the rarest star;
A lone bird dying to fly so far.
Oh goodbye my love.
Goodbye my love.

It's on this road that I'm drawn back to you
As the miles remember me as I go
It's in the sadness of a night's dream that I recall
The words of devotion we spoke

And I can't remember where our bodies roamed
I can't remember all alone
How our love got lost out in the cold

But you're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess in my ears
You're the only one I know who brings me back to the middle

I separated all I thought I knew
In a pile of books collapsed upon my floor
I memorized the words in code and true
But I can carry them with me no more

Don't tell me you've been swept away
I can't believe it about you, I won't believe it about you

And you will draw me near
When the sky opens and we appear
And you'll bring me once again back to the middle

I don't want to notice
I don't want to see
Even I don't give up
Even I won't give up

You're breaking surface
So what's left of me?
Tell me when is enough
Tell me I should give up

It's not the way you move
It's your words
Though they soothe,
They're not telling the truth

Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to
carry on while just believing in you?
Didn't I give up, every-thing?
Tell me now,
if there a reason for anything?

My heart it was open
You stepped through the door
It is tearing me up
Giving in, giving up
Left here always hoping
One day there'd be more
Even I don't give up
Tell me when is enough

I see the strings you pulled
I'm not blind
And I'm not fooled
Well you know it's true

Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to
carry on while just believing in you?
Didn't I give up, every-thing?
Tell me now,
if there a reason for anything?

Well here we are
Glance away
I wanted you
You couldn't stay
Reaching out
Reaching in
And will I be here till the day?
You found another
to pack away from
I won't make the same mistake again, no.

Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to
carry on while just believing in you?
Didn't I give up, every-thing?
Tell me now,
if there a reason for anything?

Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to
carry on while just believing in you?
Didn't I give up, every-thing?
Tell me now,
if there a reason for anything?

Cause even I don't give up
Even I don't give up
Even I don't give up
Even I don't give up

I don't want to notice
I don't want to see
Even I don't give up
Even I won't give up

Well, here we stand alone
(Our goodbyes and our waiting)
Getting our feet to move, always the hardest part
Like friends we know we've traveled off from one another
And we're trying to face the days a world apart

And change is what we have all been born into
That's what he said and all that I have to hold on to
But you have opened up the heart of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face

And you have opened up a part of me
Saying, please don't leave me here
When I'm a world apart from you

My independence is the part that drew you in
You said, I like the way you know a thing or two
But I must confess the air I breathe and paths I tread
Are making me less aware of what I am to do

I've done all I can to build the strength I need
Climbed all the mountains, wishing you were here to see
With a true and faithful heart I found
The one apart from all the others
I can stand alone because I know that

I've been running along the spaces all alone
Trying to find a place I feel that I belong
You don't seem to notice me
You don't seem to notice me
You've got money and power to hold your position down
But all this money and power is showin me the ground
I can't see anymore
I can't see anymore

Watch you go down
I can see you running
Look around
Look around
There is no one following
Now what you gonna do solo?
Look around
Look around

I've been thinking that I can find a better way
I'm tired of all the empty hopes and words you say
You can breathe when you're alone
You can breathe when you're alone

Watch you go down
I can see you running
Look around
Look around
There is no one following
Now what you gonna do solo?
Look around
Look around
Oh...

Where'd all the people go who told you
All the pretty things you read, you fool?
What's the matter now?
I see you're fall-fall-fall-fallin'
Where'd the people go who told you
All the easy words,
Not what they should?
Whats the matter now?
I see you're fall-fall-fall-fallin' down...

I can see you running
Look around
There's noone following
Now what you gonna do solo?
Look around
Look around

You, you should've left me a long time ago
And you, you should've seen how scared I was
But you, you chose to stick around in spite of me
When I let the night take the day

And my friends the tiny glimpses
Of something different, something free
Moved away and moved along the scene
But just remember

If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all

You, you always take it slowly day by day
And you, you're never turning around
And you, you're always bringing me direction
And I know I'm coming home today

But baby, don't you know me?
I wouldn't give up, oh so soon
You'll see me fighting all those bitter parts
But just remember

If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all

Take it slow, we can move away
It doesn't matter what they say
Slow, we can move away
It doesn't matter what they say

Slow, we can move away
It doesn't matter what they say
Slow, we can move away
'Cause all that matters

If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all

When I say these words I mean them
And I will be your home again

Take a walk with me, love
You say you can't get enough
Well you won't till you open your door
And you give some more to me

And the silence in your steps
As you tip-toe around the rest
Makes me want to pull you in
And kiss you, my friend, and your silly games

And I'm not tired
I could chase you around
And debate you here again and again
So tell me lies if you want to
I can take it, I won't be afraid
'Cause I am the rain

The rain is gentle some days
It can clean off the mess that Winter made
The rain can wash all the years of doubt
And the tears that were shed
So just look up please
Shine a little bit of hope to me, oh
Let me know there's a season for all
And a season to call you my love

And throw me off with your pride
It's okay, I won't hide here again and again
I'll tell you there's no mistaking
The reason that I'm not afraid
'Cause I am the rain

The rain will wash us clean
And I know the rain will wash us clean
And when it does, I'll be right beside you
Holding on, holding on
The rain will wash us clean
And I know the rain will wash us clean
And when it does, I'll be right beside you
Holding on, holding on

In the night I have traveled
All alone just to see
Where I left all the memories
I had grown to count as me

Through the days though uncertain
I can live secretly
Just for you, just for you
Just for you

And I strain to see
Will it ever be you and me?

Singing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh

It was cold on the last day
I was trying not to see
In a place so familiar
Yet resisting all of me

I am one, I am only
Who I hope that I can be
All for you, all for you
All for you

And I strain to see
Will it ever be you and me?

Singing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
Singing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh

If you could only see how good
I could be in your arms tonight
If you could only see how good
We could be moving on

We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh

We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh

We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
