What used to be a house of cardsHas turned into a reservoirSaved the tears that were waterfallingLet's go swim tonight, darling And once outside the undertowJust you and me and nothing moreIf not for love I would be drowningI've seen it work both ways, but I am up Riding high amongst the wavesI can feel like I have a soul that has been savedI can feel like I've put away my early graveI gotta say it now better loud than too late Remember back the early daysWhen you were young and and thus amazedSuddenly the channel changedThe first time you saw blood Cut to later, now you're strongYou've bled yourself, the wounds are goneIt's rare when there is nothing wrongSurvived and you're amongst the fittestLove ain't love until you give it up Up riding high amongst the wavesI can feel like I have a soul that has been savedI can see the light coming through the clouds in raysI gotta say it now better loud than too lateI gotta say it now better loud than too late, hey yeah Riding high amongst the wavesI can feel like I have a soul that has been savedI can see the light coming through the clouds in raysI gotta say it now better loud than too late I got to say it now better loud than too lateSay it now better loud than too lateHey, yeah

All the thoughts you never seeYou're always thinkingBrain is wired, brain is deepOh, are you sinking? Feel the path of every dayWhich road you taking?Breathing hard, making hayYeah, this is living Look for love and evidenceThat you're worth keepingSwallowed whole in negativesIt's so sad and sickening Feel the air up aboveA pool of blue skyFill the air up with loveOh, black with starlight Feel the sky blanket youWith gems and rhinestonesSee the path cut by the moonFor you to walk onFor you to walk on Nothing left, nothing left, nothing there, nothing leftNothing left, nothing left, nothing there, nothing leftNothing left, nothing left, nothing there, nothing left See the path cut by the moonFor you to walk onSee the waves on distant shoresAwaiting your arrival Dream the dreams of other menYou'll be no one's rivalDream the dreams of others thenYou will be no one's rivalYou will be no one's rival A distant time, a distant spaceThat's where we're livingA distant time, a distant placeSo what you giving?What you giving?

Yesterdays, how quick they changeAll lost and long gone nowIt's hard to remember anythingMoving at the speed of soundMoving with the speed of sound And yet I’m still holding tight To this dream of distant lightAnd that somehow I’ll survive But this night has been a long oneWaiting on a sun that just don't come Can I forgive what ICannot forget and live a lie?I could give it one more try Why deny this drive inside?Just looking for some peaceEverytime I get me some it gets the best of meNot much left you see And yet I’m still holding tight To this dream of distant lightAnd that somehow I’ll survive But this night has been a long oneWaiting on a word that never comes A whisper in the darkIs that you or just my thoughts?I'm wide awake and reaching out It’s gone so quiet nowCould it be I’m farther out?Moving faster than the speed of sound

Understand she's a force of natureContraband hiding deep inside her soulExorcising her will to lose controlShe lets go A common man, he don't stand a chance, noWonderland pulling Alice in the holeNo way to save someone who won't take the ropeAnd just let's go One man stands the edge of the oceanA beacon on dry landEyes upon the horizonIn the dark before the dawn Hurricane has the trade winds blowingA gale force shaking windows in the stormShipwreck on the rock that he calls homeWith one light on Somewhere there's a siren singingA song only he hearsAll the strength you might thinkWould disappear resolving One man stands alone, awaitingFor her to come homeEyes upon the horizonIn dark before the darkness meets the dawn Makes me acheMakes me shakeIs it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe? Last I saw, he was out there waitingA silhouette in the black light, full moon glowIn the sand there he stands upon the shoreForevermore Somewhere there's a siren singingA song only he hearsAll the strength that you might thinkWould disappear, resolving One man stands alone, awaitingFor her to come homeEyes are closed, you cannot knowBut his heart don't seem to roamOh, oh
