Lyrics for "Fragile"

Evan’s Park

I know a girl who calls herself April
But she was born in May
She lives deep inside a cardboard box
On the corner of 5^th and Main
Her home is painted fluorescent orange
With fragile printed on the side
She’s thinking about relocating
But just can’t decide

She wants to live down at Evan’s Park
Where the traffic ain’t so bad
She’ll have to live by the fountain
‘Cause that’s the only space they have
She knows she’ll have to change her box
To match her neighbors there
She’ll have to paint it forest-green
‘Cause the grass is greener there

She can’t wait to tell her friends
That she’s leaving for something more
She found a can of forest-green
Behind the hardware store
She takes her time and some words of advice
Then waves her friends goodbye
Makes her way down to Evan’s Park
Under the April sky

Now she lives down at Evan’s Park
Where the traffic ain’t so bad
She’s living there by the fountain
‘Cause that’s the only space they had
Unpacked her box and everything she brought
Next to her neighbors there
She painted it forest-green
‘Cause the grass is greener there

Take On The World

Would you dare to believe every word I say
Would you close your brown eyes, take a leap of faith
Don’t you know what I feel
Don’t you know what I need
Will you ever turn on, will you ever be

Can you take away all my insecurities
Would you make up your mind
Would you fall to your knees
Can’t you see it’s what I need for you to bring alive
Don’t you realize that now’s the time to live our lives

Would you take on the world
Would you hold on to me
Won’t you take on the world
Won’t you come with me
Would you take on the world
Take on the world

Can we take out all the lines
Can we fall through the cracks
We can touch the velvet sky
We can never go back
Can’t you see it’s what I need for you to bring alive
Don’t you realize that now’s the time to live our lives

Would you take on the world
Would you hold on to me
Won’t you take on the world
Won’t you come with me
Won’t you take on the world
Take on the world

Can’t you see it’s what I need for you to bring alive
Don’t you realize that now’s the time to live our lives

Would you take on the world
Would you hold on to me
Won’t you take on the world
Won’t you come with me
Won’t you take on the world
Take on the world

Nothin’ At All

She opened up her eyes and finally realized
That nothing really matters at all
She can’t remember when the loneliness began
And when her world started to fall

So misunderstood
Did all she could
But the feelings deep inside echo in her mind

She said nothing at all
She said nothing at all

She’s lost but so close to being found
The walls she built around herself are just too tall
She’s reaching out her hand and just can’t understand
Why no one will help her at all

So misunderstood
Did all she could
But the feelings deep inside echo in her mind

She said nothing at all
She said nothing at all

Daydream

Drifting in between daylight and a dream
Inside I have found, images all around
But then I see you…
You come into view

A million beams of sunlight
Shining through you hair of gold
I can see your crystal-clear, blue eyes
Staring through my soul
Words are flowing through my mind
Like paper in the wind
Frozen for a moment in time
Lost in a daydream again

Let me oversleep, I’m in much too deep
Flying through the clouds high above the ground
But then I see you…
You come into view

A million beams of sunlight
Shining through your hair of gold
I can see your crystal-clear, blue eyes
Staring through my soul
Words are flowing through my mind
Like paper in the wind
Captured for a moment in time
Caught in a daydream again

Imagination is a sensation
It all depends on your point of view

Drop of Hope

Angel’s staring at the sidewalk
Borrowed suitcase in each hand
Passing faces read her T-shirt
"I’m doing the best I can"

Tear-stained cheeks in the sunlight
A better world’s not far away
So take a deep breath of sunshine
And a life to fit the name

She seems to be going somewhere
Never eat their words of wisdom
Her destiny is uncertain and she’ll
Drink each drop of hope that’s given

Angel’s floating up the sidewalk
With a new dream in her head
A Saturday far away
Where she can start it all again

She seems to be going somewhere
Never eat their words of wisdom
Her destiny is uncertain and she’ll
Drink each drop of hope that’s given

Angel’s staring at her sidewalk
With a T-shirt in her hand
Waves to all passing faces
She’s been doing the best she can

She seems to be going somewhere
Never eat their words of wisdom
Her destiny is uncertain and she’ll
Drink each drop of hope that’s given

Twisted Lives

I’m watching people on borrowed time
They look to blame each other in the limelight
They degregate society with their untimely views
To gather sympathy from the TV crews

You don’t have to pay them money
It’s a free addiction
Their twisted lies
You don’t have to pay them money
You just pay attention
To their twisted lies
Their twisted lives

Step into the broadcast tent
To see the freaks of wonder and amazement
A spectacle you can not read in the daily news
To make the dying dollar from the weak and abused

You don’t have to pay them money
It’s a free addiction
Their twisted lies
You don’t have to pay them money
You just pay attention
To their twisted lies
Their twisted lives

They degregate society with their untimely views
To gather sympathy from the TV crews

You don’t have to pay them money
It’s a free addiction
Their twisted lies
You don’t have to pay them money
You just pay attention
To their twisted lies
Their twisted lives

Say the Word

Do you still change your mind
Every time the clock changes time
Do you still like to cry at movies
You’ve seen a hundred times

Do you still agree
That we were born to make a difference
And change the world too
Did you have to throw it all away

Did you have to say the word
Did you have to say goodbye
Did you have to leave me here just wondering why
Did you have to say the word goodbye

Do you still sing our song
Every time it comes on
Do you still like to make believe
That we are still in love

Let Me Breathe

Everybody’s talking
How everyday brings more of your perfection
Point in my direction
One more fool who fell for your affection

I’ve given you money and all my time
You take my diamonds and drink my wine
You’ve taken everything you’ll ever need
You’re love is choking me so let me breathe

Any situation
You find a way to take more than you’re given
Love we had together
Friends all say cash won’t last forever

I’ve given you money and all my time
You take my diamonds and drink my wine
You’ve taken everything you’ll ever need
You’re love is choking me so let me breathe

Let me breathe
Let me breathe

I’ve given you money and all my time
You take my diamonds and drink my wine
You’ve taken everything you’ll ever need
You’re love is choking me so let me breathe

Cover Me

Holding up these empty walls
Walls you lived in once before
Finally realized this time
Who you really are

So tell me how do you sleep
While I’m crying out your name
Never seemed so far away

Cover me
Comfort me
Help me breathe I can’t believe
Cover me
Comfort me
Won’t you take my pain away from me

It’s easy enough to pretend in the light
When it all fades away I can’t hide
What’s left inside
There’s no more time

And tell me how do you sleep
While I’m crying out your name
You’ve never run so far away

Cover me
Comfort me
Help me breathe I can’t believe
Cover me
Comfort me
Won’t you take my pain away from me

Common Ground

I know there’s something missing
Stranger things have caught my eye
I just can’t go on wishing
You’ll decide to make up your mind

I’ve seen your problem and it ain’t easy
I can tell you you’re not alone
No more excuses I’ll keep your secret
Take it all before I’m gone

Don’t tell me you don’t need me
Won’t you meet me on common ground
So take it slow and see that you can
Meet me on common ground

I know you’ll drink each drop of hope
That I can give to survive
Don’t choke on my advice but
The two of us can make it right

I’ve seen your problem and it ain’t easy
I can tell you you’re not alone
No more excuses I’ll keep your secret
Take it all before I’m gone

Don’t tell me you don’t need me
Won’t you meet me on common ground
Just take it slow and see that you can
Meet me on common ground

I’ve seen your problem and it ain’t easy
I can tell you you’re not alone
No more excuses I’ll keep your secret
Take it all before I’m gone

Won’t you meet me
Don’t you need me

Don’t tell me you don’t need me
Won’t you meet me on common ground
Just take it slow and see that you can
Meet me on common ground

Love Comes Around

I’m somewhere near the end of my line
Waiting to let go
Looking for something to find
What it is, I don’t know

Am I the only one here
Too blind to see
That nothing is nowhere
With nobody

I was just wondering
Am I the only one alive
I was just thinking that it’s about time

When love comes
Love comes around

Inside and outside
And all in between
Everyone is searching
Or so it seems

If you could read my mind
And turn the page
What will it read
What will it say

I was just wondering
Am I the only one alive
I was just thinking that it’s about time

When love comes
Love comes around

If I could only see the world you’ve found
I would know that somehow love comes around

Love comes
Love comes around

Inside (Acoustic Version)

Staring at the ceiling for a while
Trying to decide
I think I’ll stay inside

Thinking I’ll just lie here for a while
I don’t wanna face my life
I’ll stay inside

I don’t want to go out there
I know what’s out there
I’m not trying to hide
No I want to stay inside
Just want to stay inside

People say that I’m just wasting away
But it takes up all of my time
Here inside

What better way to spend a lovely day
Than to hide from the sunshine
Here inside

I don’t want to go out there
I know what’s out there
I’m not trying to hide
No I want to stay inside
Just want to say inside
