The stars are aligned,

But they don't align for us

Excuse me for I am the ocean

And I will starve for you

Will you know how to stay brave?

Such fragile moments we share

And you are my everything

And even with nothing to say

ooooohhhhh

ooooohhhhh

Like Knives

Hello, I’m In Delaware

VERSE:::

So there goes my life

Passing by with every exit sign

It's been so long

Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong

No sleep tonight

I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines

And as the moon fades

One more night gone, only twenty more days

CHORUS:::

But I will see you again

I will see you again

a long time from now

VERSE 2:::

And there goes my life

Passing by with every departing flight

And its been so hard

So much time so far apart

And she walks the night

How many hearts will die tonight

And will things have changed

I guess I'll find out in seventeen days

BRIDGE:::

My body aches

and it hurts to sing,

and no one is moving

And I wish that I

weren't here tonight,

but this is my life

Save Your Scissors

So go on

And I will refrain

And I'll keep on running this neverending race

maybe next time will be the right time

and maybe next time will be your time

So save your scissors

For someone else's skin

My surface is so tough

I don't think the blade will dig in

Save your strength

Save your wasted time

There's no way that I want you to be left behind

Go on save your scissors

Save your scissors

So why does it always seem

That every time I turn around

Somebody falls in love with me

This has never been my soul intention

And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions

Just save your scissors

For someone else's skin

My surface is so tough

I don't think the blade will dig in

Save your strength

Save your wasted time

There's no way that I want you to be left behind

Go on save your scissors

Save your scissors

There is something that I must confess to you tonight

To you tonight

And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight

From you tonight

Go on save your scissors

Save your scissors

Save your scissors

Verse 1:

So let's face it, this was never what you wanted

But I know, I know it's fun to pretend

Now blank stares and empty threats

Are all I have, they’re all I have

Chorus:

So drown me, if you can

Or we could just have conversation

and I fall, I fall, I fall down

But I found you before I drift away

Verse 3:

Now you still speak of day old hate

Though your whole world has gone up into flames

And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing

And how safe it is to feel safe

Chorus:

So drown me, if you can

Or we could just have conversation

and I fall, I fall, I fall down

But I found you before I drift away

The things we do just to keep ourselves alive

Ending

Comin Home

Well I've been down to Georgia,

I've seen the streets in the west,

I've driven down the 90,

Oh hell, I've seen America's best.

I've been through the Rockies,

Hell, I've seen Saskatoon,

I've driven down the Highway 1

Just hopin' that I'd see you soon.

Chorus :

Cuz I'm comin' home

I'm comin' home

(x3) *only the last 2 lines

I'm comin' home

Well I've never been to Alaska,

But I can tell you this;

I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska

And hell you know it ain't worth shit.

I've been through Nova Scotia,

Sydney to Halifax,

But I'll never take any pictures

Cuz I'll know I'll just be right back.

Chorus :

Cuz I'm comin' home

I'm comin' home

(x3) *only the last 2 lines

I'm comin' home

Well I've seen a palace in London,

I've seen a castle in Wales,

But I'd rather wake up beside you

And breathe that old familiar smell.

I never thought you could leave me,

I figured I was the one,

But I understand your sadness,

So I guess I should just hold my tongue.

Chorus :

But I'm comin' home

I'm comin' home

(x3) *only the last 2 lines

I'm comin' home

I know that we're taking chances,

You told me life was a risk,

I just have one last question;

Will it be my heart

Or will it be his?

Chorus :

Comin' Home

I'm comin' home
