Set Me Free 04:37
Isn't it strange You can live inside your own head For a lifetime everyday Isn't that strange How I couldn't see the good about me Regardless of what they'd say Isn't that strange How I hated me anyway Isn't it strange How your own eyes can deceive you And your mind hurts and bleeds you Isn't that strange How it robs your youth away Set me free Set me free Isn't it strange That for 12 long years All that I've known were lies and fears Isnt that strange When you think that you've made it Suddenly your fears are changing Isn't that strange How there's a point past breaking Set me free Set me free I guess I've learned to be brave I guess I've learned to be true Now the days they keep on coming Atleast some light is shining through Set me free Oh no no Now I'm free Now I'm free Now I'm free Now I'm free Now I'm free

Sitting by the tracks, waiting on this train to pass by A hard blistering sun, comes down on my heavy shoulders Just a few more moments and I'll be where you are Oh I never dreamed, I'd hold you in my arms How I've missed, everything about you Your long flowered dress, those eyes and that smile on your face I could stay, a lifetime, beside you Come home to you, at the end of every day When I was a young man, I thought there was a truth to find Left you standing there, no words, as I made my goodbyes After life laid it's hands upon me, I realised That the only thing that I need, is you till I die. How I've missed, everything about you Your long flowered dress, those eyes and that smile on your face I could stay, a lifetime, beside you Come home to you, at the end of every day Do you know how much you've been on my mind Since the day I left I've been thinking about you all the time... How I've missed, everything about you Your long flowered dress, those eyes and that smile on your face I could stay, a lifetime, beside you Come home to you, at the end of everyday I'd come home to you, at the end of every day, I'd come home to you, at the end of every day.

I've been travelling through this life alone I grew up rough, but I grew up strong Most folks I see confuse my bones Let stone hearts turn into gold One day I'll hop the trains down south For warmth and love, that left me out Might take a chance overseas To far away lands, where lovers meet If you tell me that you love me In the morning I will run dear You will never get this close, because I'm scared The city lights are burning My heart is yearning To get up and leave and be alone again. I've sat on hells highway ride Past light of day, where thoughts collide I don't long to see that place no more I don't long to see that place no more... I'd like to stay for morning coffee Shake everything behind me off me Have our land and raise our kin Tell stories about the life we've seen If you tell me that you love me In the morning I will run dear You will never get this close, because I'm scared The city lights are burning My heart is yearning To get up and leave and be alone again To get up and leave and be alone again If you tell me that you love me In the morning I will run dear You will never get this close, because I'm scared The city lights are burning My heart is yearning To get up and leave and be alone again To get up and leave, And be alone again To get up and leave, And be alone again

Moving On 03:49
I remember when we met, I'll never forget The way I fell easily in your arms The way you covered up my soul, you took me whole Just to drive me down a dark and lonesome road You took away my life, you never let me speak my mind Convinced me all this time, you were all I needed I'm leaving you behind, go and keep your goddamn lies I'm moving on I will shake this feeling I know of everything you told me How you'd put me down and then hold me Just to leave me by myself at night again How you words would cut right through There was nothing I could say or do But I am leaving now Go and make someone else so lonely You took away my life, you never let me speak my mind Convinced me all this time, you were all I needed I'm leaving you behind, go and keep your goddamn lies I'm moving on I will shake this feeling Now this is my goodbye I wish you all the best in life And I hope that you will find what you are looking for I've dreamed of all that I can be And I don't need you here with me I have come to see that there is so much more You took away my life, you never let me speak my mind Convinced me all this time, you were all I needed I'm leaving you behind, go and keep your goddamn lies I'm moving on I will shake this feeling I'm moving on, I will shake this feeling I'm moving on, I will shake this feeling
