Used to Know 03:53
when i wake up from this nightmare i'll be coming home when i get there i won't sleep there i will rise with the sun i'd rather get lost in the stars than find my way back to your heart, to your heart and i'd rather die all alone than have to live with someone i used to know used to know, used to know when i leave there you will see that the early bird gets the worm when i wake up from this daydream i'll be coming home i'd rather get lost in the stars than find my way back to your heart, to your heart and i'd rather die all alone than have to live with someone i used to know used to know, used to know used to know, used to know

Found My Way 02:54
i was a wandering you came to lead me i had a sickness you came to heal me you came to heal me i am a wretched you came to save me i felt so empty you came to fill me you came to fill me and now i’ve found my way i was so hopeless you came to save me i might get lost but you're there to find me you’re there to find me and now i’ve found my way i was so hungry you came to feed me i was a wandering you came to lead me you came to lead me

Mockingbird 02:55
mockingbird don't you mock no more i'm sick and tired and my brain is sore mocking proud as you sing your tune making noise as you perch and croon i'm sorry friend, but you got to leave your same old songs have got me peeved it’s been fun but you got to go come by someday and say hello please forgive for what i said i was out of touch i'd lost my head you're a sweet old bird and i miss your songs i want to harmonize and sing along i'm sorry friend that i was cruel didn't mean to be such a fool it’s been hard without you near come back my friend i'll lend my ear come back my friend i need you here come back my friend your home is here

Junebug 03:24
the way you look makes me wanna look at you the way you talk makes me wanna talk with you my love for you goes higher than any aeroplane can fly my love, it’s true my love for you is brighter than the brightest star up in the sky my love, it’s true the way you smile i can’t help but flash one back the way you walk makes me wanna walk with you my love for you is bigger than the biggest mountain you’ll climb my love, it’s true my love for you is deeper than the deepest valley that you’ll find my love, it’s true my love for you is my love for you is true

I Wanna Live 03:51
i wanna live in a land, in a land deep beneath, the deep blue sea i wanna live in a land, in a land high above, getting outside of here ‘cause i can't breathe inside these walls no i can’t breathe, no not at all i wanna die in a place, in a place far from here, where no one’s near me at all i wanna die in a place, in a place i can’t be found, no one around to bother me ‘cause i can’t breathe inside these walls no i can’t breathe, no not at all if only i could understand that i don’t have the master plan

The Wind 03:59
when you’re dead and gone, and memories fade will your soul live on, beyond the grave will it blow away, will it blow away with the wind, with the wind with the wind, with the wind as the days go on, i'll still be here all feelings gone, they disappear will it blow away, will it blow away with the wind, with the wind with the wind, with the wind but i'll be here for good at least for now, at least for now, you'll believe my words at least for now, at least for now, at least for now so the end has come, i slam the door the fear sits deep, as silence roars and you blew away, and you blew away with the wind, with the wind with the wind, with the wind

Home (I Am) 05:27
i've been wandering i've been wandering too long, too long i've been dreaming i've been dreaming too long, too long days slip by like clouds, they're floating too fast, too fast, too fast nights they creep in, slowly seeping through cracks, through cracks, through cracks walls they cave in, only saving our souls, our souls, our souls rivers dry up, as i’m swimming upstream, upstream, upstream (instrumental break) doors they open, chains are broken i'm home, i'm home, i'm home i'm home
