Maps point to angels that'll lead the way back home Yellow-colored flowers that you picked out on your own These trees may line the hills 'til it gets too high to breathe Sailboats sail the ocean 'til they get where they should be Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Loneliness can heal the soul, like a highway out in Kansas Oh, bluebird sing me a song while I wait here and listen Water flowing down the stream, it sounds like momma's calling me The sun might wonder where you've gone if you stay in bed all day Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Today I got some bad news and I wish that I could tell you My lungs are under pressure from the things I wish I never knew Hear it once and tell it twice, to numb the pain I'll hide inside Is this what you call emotion 'cause it's something Something I don't recognize Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix this broken heart

She's covered in blue jean overalls that she painted A work of art that speaks in every language She paints to tell a story she never could She starts with the pain that she still holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art She pours her morning coffee like it's her last Then pours her heart on a canvas she can't take it back She leaves an empty space for you, just in case She starts with the hatred that she holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain Yellows turn to orange, then red To the color of red wine blood Blues like the skies from the morning light To the shadows, left untouched She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art

Dear Sid, You think you made it in the world, now you're 18 you should know Adults aren't superheroes, they're just kids growing old Maturity is a choice, that not everybody chooses Dropping out of college doesn't mean that you're a loser You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23 Now you're a certified adult that's working 40-hour weeks So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe? You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV Everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster, one day you're 23 You'd think that turning 25 is the year you'd make it out But you're still fighting wars you know nothing about Where is the truth, are we ever gonna find it? Is this game, why does it have to feel so crowded? You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23 Now you're a certified adult that's working 40-hour weeks So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe? You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster Don't ever lay your head down angry, never slam the doors you close If someone breaks your heart there's someone better down the road We're livin' for the first time, and this is all we know We're livin' for the first time, it's okay to take it slow 'Cause you'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster One day you're 23 You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster Till you wish you were 23 I still don't know where I'm headed, should I? I'm still getting older as the days go by I stay in my head on most days And I try to forget my own age Wish I was 23 Sincerely, Wilfred
