I can't take your love There's no room So let's leave the floor There's nothing to do

Wide awake but dreaming away Slaving for the cheesy pay day But when I get through Every dollar in my pocket Won't stay long fly like a rocket High into my refuge Those were the days Casting all the movies in my mind Those were the days Singing all the songs I kept inside Records piling to the ceiling Each new melody appealing to My changing point of view All alone inside my bedroom Safe with music to consume Nothing better to do Those were the days Casting all the movies in my mind Those were the days Singing all the songs I kept inside Those were the days No cares or responsibilities Those were the days Take me there so my heart can be free Oooooh take me there While I was young not a burden or care Oooooh take me there The world was outside but I wasn't aware Ooooooh take me there Breathing in all that rarefied air Oooooooh take me there Spinning the tunes nothing else will compare Those were the days Casting all the movies in my mind Those were the days Singing all the songs I kept inside Those were the days No cares or responsibilities Those were the days Take me there so my heart can be free

Never Let Go 03:57
Walking slowly feeling lowly Here beside me melancholy Wanton sliding smile to crying Fear and pride emulsifying Oh stay here beside me (What do you fear my love?) Oh lay here in my arms Don't you forsake me (What makes you feel unsure?) Just keep close and Oh hold to hope You're in control Never let go Backward forward always trying Inner thinking paralyzing Resolute and self relying Awe inspiring pessimizing Oh stay here beside me (What do you fear my love?) Oh lay here in my arms Don't you forsake me (What makes you feel unsure?) Just keep close and Oh hold to hope You're in control Never let go You've been working Now's for fighting Oh stay here beside me (What do you fear my love?) Oh lay here in my arms Don't you forsake me (What makes you feel unsure?) Just keep close and Oh hold to hope You're in control Never let go

Gone 03:57
Now that you're gone I don't know what it's for All of this time Trying to recognize How you could ask me to let you fade out When it was you wouldn't give up on me Now that you're gone I'm left with pieces Of something that was I almost remember How it was you who taught me to hope When I was struggling to breathe on my own Now that you're gone I hope that you understand I fought with you That's how you taught me to How you should never let someone drown When you can help them find a way out Now that you're gone I hope you accept me I accept you The fight is over
