Just keep your eyes on the road And nothing can go wrong You can do so much better than this You can do so much better than this I've been checking my sums Oh where did the time go?

When the lights in my street go out and All the people lie sleeping under clouds and They're dreaming of better than this Then my brother calls me and he's sayin' Oh, I can hear the angels praying That we can do better than this 'Cause I saw a mountain, I thought it's too high I heard the birds whisper, "You can't fly" I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this I heard a language I thought I can't speak I saw an ocean I thought was too deep I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this When the riddles and the puzzles find me I wanna let the darkness hide me But I know there is better than this And I'm shouting 'cause I see my failings My fears, my faults, I'm raging 'Cause I know that I'm better than this 'Cause I saw a mountain, I thought it's too high I heard the birds whisper, "You can't fly" I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this I heard a language I thought I can't speak I saw an ocean I thought was too deep I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this Only when we discover, that's when we find each other That's when we both get better than this

Cold dry wind blowing on your skin Frigid air and your messy hair I love this And I'll miss this Each step forward we leave behind The memories We made here Together Will you remember me When you leave Or will I just be someone you wrote a song with In September When the weather Was better than this Small white house But you're not around It's empty But not really There's a family there But I just don't care It's empty I'm empty Do you remember me In Sicily Or am I just somebody you wrote a song with In September Oh when I was Doing better than this Doing better Doing better Doing better than this Doing better Doing better Doing better than this Do you remember me In Sicily Oh I'm so glad I was the one you wrote that song with In September Oh I hope you're Doing better than this

Never have I seen a place That reminds me of your face 'Til I heard it call to me Like a phone call from a friend Set in silence like a prayer If these walls could breathe the air They would sing a song of love And how it sometimes has to end Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear If you don't see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home Letters written in the den Folded news and coffee cans Simple things that I recall Not forgotten easily Dog is passed out on the lawn He will miss me when I'm gone He won't speak what he has seen Like the walls surrounding me Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear If you don't see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear If you don't see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Nothing tastes like sweet No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home

She broke today A perfect little heart in my hand She came undone I hesitate I'm waiting on my father to say I love you son It's coming in phases And I'm ready for none I knew it would change me But I'm overcome My father's son Me and my heavy mind I've been given far too much time And it weighs a ton My cover fire Come lay down right here on my chest My little one Before I'm done It's coming in phases And I'm ready for none I knew it would change me The man I become So I try to relate it To where I came from But it's coming in phases And I'm overcome My father's son My empty page I will give you more than my name I love you, son It's coming in phases And I'm ready for none I knew it would change me The man I become So I try to relate it To where I came from But it's coming in phases And I'm overcome My father's son My father's son

Some ancient call That I've answered before It lives in my walls And it's under the floor If this was meant for me, why does it hurt so much? And if you're not made for me, why did we fall in love? A knock at my door I thought I was alone Unaware of what I've thought I needed I dropped like a stone If I'm not mistaken, then I was the last to know And if you return for me, I'd never want for more You're dislocated Don't be like that And you smile when you dive in Like you're never coming back So hold my body Yeah, hold my breath See your face when I black out I'm never coming back Fear of the water Fear of the water You're dislocated Don't be like that And you smile when you dive in Like you're never coming back So hold my body Yeah, hold my breath See your face when I black out I'm never coming back You're dislocated Don't be like that And you smile when you dive in Like you're never coming, never coming back So hold my body Yeah, hold my breath See your face when I black out I'm never coming back Fear of the water Fear of the water

Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand Don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand But don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Don't you ever leave me alone Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy

Picture yourself in a room full of broken glass Blood on the pieces, the pieces you can't put back A little white light in a sea gone black My head is a room and the room's full of broken glass You can't change me, can you save me? Oh, clean eyes Breaking my heart in all the right ways And no, I don't mind, clean eyes Oh, clean eyes Breaking my heart and breaking my chains And I don't know why, clean eyes (Clean eyes) I'm a cynic, I told you, I fear what I don't believe I don't know what this is, but this is a different beast I check the lock on the door three times Can't put my faith in what I can't describe I'm a cynic, I told you, I don't believe Oh, clean eyes Breaking my heart in all the right ways And no, I don't mind, clean eyes Oh, clean eyes Breaking my heart and breaking my chains And I don't know why, clean eyes (Clean eyes) Oh, clean eyes Breaking my heart in all the right ways And no, I don't mind, clean eyes Oh, clean eyes Breaking my heart and breaking my chains And I don't know why, clean eyes (Clean eyes) (Clean eyes)
