This is Gold 04:14
There were days, I wondered where you're going to And if you knew my name There were days, that I knew it could never work And I'm so glad you came Well I always sink, when I'm about to break I'lll be sinking all the way I know you'd pull me up, even though we've been stuck Now we keep sinking all the way Ah, I know This is gold, this is gold Ah, I know This is gold. Jumping in, the water rushes over me Trying not to breath Jumping in, nothing ever bothers you I don't think you agree We keep on watching the sky, for fear of losing the night Keep on watching, don't turn away I know we missed it again, we'll make believe we're all friends Now comes the time to turn away Ah, I know This is gold, this is gold Ah, i know This is gold

Distribution Recreation Goes through our heads It feels as though we're dead Tolerate them I guess it all depends How new is everything How new is that Don't think I know anyone who is left Man Machine is on and we'll listen instead It's ok that we're sad, it's ok, now we've slept I'm glad it's not the last time that I will feel right Into the storm They've seen before It hasn't aged that well And they have more Time to behave I know you won't behave I'll be here when you're done If thats ok Still don't see anyone here that I've met Man Machine is done, I guess I'll start it again I don't know why I'm sad, I think I'm just spent You gotta keep on moving, gotta keep on feeling that thrill We will end staring at the sky.

Every night, We make believe we've got this right When the gravity is gone, We're astronauts eating ice cream cones All we see, star swirl under me, we start fading into black It all dissolves, we're both still enthralled, and we wake up endlessly Pictures, better, show us, letters If I could hold on to this, I'd be headed through this Listen, records, find us, better I don't think I know what to say to you Losing, nothing, feels like, crushing I hope we say the same thing, I still need some convincing Words have, meaning, tumble, speeding I don't know how to tell you they still love you To tell the truth,I lied when I said this was boring It's way to soon, to figure out a different story I like the way the light reflects off your earring I like the way you always know just what to play

You found it You look like hell Darlin' it's all how you sell it You won't freak out, but it's always there Fill the glass with nothing It's ok I'm not really staying You won't even wait You won't wait And you wonder, what peace of mind, it must feel like You're under the trees And you wonder, what peace of mind, it must feel like You're thinking in dreams And you wonder, what peace of mind, it must feel like You're falling away And you wonder, what peace of mind, it must feel like They tell me I look sick and tired of it all They tell me, you're just lost in a phase I've seen it, you can't even try but you know I've seen, everyone will think it's ok You said, but I'm not a lie, and I know We can leave it all behind You said, but I'm not alive You said

20 Years 04:25
They come near We stay far We are smoking under stars Getting ready Things get steady In the streets Driving cars We will keep on getting small They take pictures To remind us all Company that we keep Helps the sun roll down your cheek Grass keeps growing where you walk Universe will never stop We're intrigued by the leaves All the worlds lie in-between And I keep losing my mind and it's alright I felt it all before I feel it again You're walking out the door I know we'll be friends The things I never tell Keep me under the spell In 20 years I'm sure We will start again Seasons change We're insane Blowing circuits, turning strange I stop playing Always paying All these drinks taste the same Keep me thinking of your name I can't remember I thought I knew Turn around, on the ground Clips of paper and a sound Waking up forgotten scenes Never knew happened to me See the smile on your face And we go back to the same place And I'm still holding you're hand and it's alright.

No More Love 03:29
Finally, we can jump through I'll bleed Lay back, just let it settle in It's free As we both lose control, and we will find our souls Dying When will we let them go, we will not let them go In the streams What would happen If you loved me What would happen If everyone believed me What would they do If they all owed me And we were slowed down By what we can't see What would happen if we never had to close our eyes A thousand colors asking questions as we start to cry What would we hear if no one ever spoke a word Our friends and neighbors getting jealous when we see the world Suddenly, it all breaks down Godspeed I've had, I've had to get around You're with me What did we call the world, it was the little things We forget I'm on the losing team, but I'm not worried now I'll dream

It's taking over. I think it's over We just got started. We'll let it run on out The feeling's mutual, but then I think of all the rooftop parties. The beers we couldn't drink I'm seeing different shapes floating on the horizon I'll picture this, I will picture this I'm stealing all you know, all the music, all the shows It's a long weekend, a long weekend Laying back, it's the best laugh I've ever heard Laying back, won't remember the words Long nights brings a calm I've never seen Long nights I keep losing the reel Holding on is the best part of everything Holding on is the best part of everything We will never know how it started We will be alone but it started Last call conversations, getting through the mazes, it's in a fog Strangers that make us begin to feel better about the last one She said I didn't need it and I know that I believe it She just pulls me a little closer asks me if we live in circles It was normal in a way, felt like every other day I think I know why

Peng 33! 02:36
Curiosity was far greater than our fear It felt so simple and so prodigious at the same time Incredible things are happening in the world Magical things are happening in this world Across the river there are all kinds, magical instruments While really we keep on living like monkeys Incredible things are happening in the world Magical things are happening in this world, yeah Across the river there are all kinds, magical instruments While really we keep on living like monkeys Incredible things are happening in the world Magical things are happening in this world
