Train Ticket 03:50
I'm on my way to where I want to be Don't cause a fuss no I don't make a scene But everywhere that I find in between leaves me wanting more They're just distractions let them be They'll fade away just wait and see cause everything fades Still there's more to come This isn't it this can't be it This can't be all The feeling comes and goes I waited for you in the spring I'm still waiting in the fall I'm on my way to where I want to be Don't cause a fuss no I don't make a scene Still everywhere that I find in between leaves me wanting more This ticket tells me where to go Which train to board and at what time They take my ticket and I know it's much too late to change my mind

It's gonna take a little time to get used to this It's gonna take a little time to calm down and I've been crowned king of the underworld I wear my robes with pride as I'm watching this ship run aground And I'm just guessing, I may not be right but you're not helping and try as I might We turn to stone, frozen just as we are We'll try to rise, but we don't get very far, well.. I don't know if something's missing I don't know, but I'm afraid Terrified that something's ending Terrified that I'm to blame But the beauty of what once was lets the regrets fade away Leave your problems at the door Let's celebrate Oh god let me savor this Oh god let me hold on tight and I know I can't have it all but oh god I can't help but try and I won't miss all that I've thrown away for you I don't know if something's missing I'm not sure, but I'm afraid Terrified that something's ending Terrified that I'm to blame But the beauty of what once was lets the regrets fade away Leave your problems at the door Let's celebrate

Twenty years too late you first felt the dark that makes things dim, so you gave in and you called home You won't take the gift, you won't sink that low All the red stops are building blocks that you have found You stayed out all night looking for a fight You saw the light let off by those with too much luck Neither land nor sea will be called your grave You seek the flame that cleanses all their memories You'll take the known path, the safe bet say "I have things to lose, I can't just throw this away" You tap your foot, look to the door say "I have things to do, I can't just sit here" but we'll sing songs to you we know that you'll love We'll sing 'til you're asleep, and then we'll go Your brothers & sisters, we're all here And nothing good will come of it and you found your light and you took it home Made it your own, made sure it'd never want for love but there is no cage that could make it stay You spend your days searching for ways to block the door You'll take the known path, the safe bet say "I have things I need, I can't just throw this away" You tap your foot, look to the door say "I have things to do, I can't just sit here" but we'll sing songs to you we know that you'll love We'll sing 'til you're asleep, and then we'll go Your brothers & sisters, we're all here And nothing good will come of it

Theater 04:44
This is my chance I've never needed anything quite like this All eyes are on me, waiting I pause for effect Please don't cry my time in the spotlight has come This is my chance To say something while people are listening I can't share this No, this is my chance Please don't cry my time in the spotlight has come

Good News 04:32
The bells are ringing no man's land down in New Orleans Where my friends wait for me, I'll be there soon A summer gone I welcome fall, I'll spend it aimlessly Treat every falling leaf like it's a sign And it will be so fun waiting for good news I'm taking all my cues from you now but the drone just gets louder, the waves hitting the rock I'm studying a lock that has no key The fire's gone our love now is as an ember flame burns softer every day but it's still there I can't I won't leave it alone, I am not the same No I am not the same as them And it would be so dumb to let this slip away I see the game you play and I'm still here I'm looking for something that probably isn't there I'm very well aware, I turn to go My friends are leaving, they've all got places they need to be I tag along to see the sidewalk swell A parachute, a safety net, the spinning never stops My pace slows to a crawl, and I take root My back is turned and hope creeps in coursing through my veins, convincing me to stay and wait my turn You pass through, I'll take my time A special shade of gray I saved for just today Colors the sky And it would be so fun waiting for good news I'm taking all my cues from you now But the drone just gets louder, the waves hitting the rock I'm studying a lock that has no key

I had plans but plans fall through I got lost so I've come back to Old places, people, and things that I thought were gone Take them away I can't be here for long but I don't mind cause what can I do what can I do what can I do to pass the time until then Fall asleep staring at the wall I dreamt dreams filled with nothing at all You're convinced but we'll never know Your big ideas, isn't it pretty to think so but I don't mind cause what can I do what can I do what can I do to pass the time until then I had thought every step would feel brand new I had hoped I would have more to show you but I've found a place to come home to I can wait for the next breakthrough and I don't mind oh what can I do what can I do what can I do to pass the time until then
