So we pick up back where we disagree, The line between a hole in the ground and the apple tree As I drown myself in the disbelief Of a million singing doves, Hid away beneath the sheets And somewhere in my dreams, I'm thinking How am I gonna win this one? How am I gonna win this one? How am I gonna win this one? So we pick up back where we lost the key, In a quiet suburban house back in YYZ With out burnout kids and families That we lay out on the carpet, by the Christmas tree And elsewhere in my dreams, I'm thinking How am I gonna win this one? How am I gonna win this one? How am I gonna win this one?

Hope comes from a better place, A better place than love A better place than happiness Well I hope you know, I hope you know Say what you wanna say, Love can turn sour in a day And joy always seems to fade But hope is always, hope is here to stay Peace comes from a violent place It comes from the shittiest days It comes from the blood and sweat and tears Well I hope you know, I hope you know Say what you wanna say Serenity just isn't quite the same As playing the wounded game And finding someone else to take the blame Hope comes from a better place, A better place than love A better place than happiness Well I hope you know, I hope you know

Of all the things to find When you open up your eyes, To find love Is the best surprise of all Sometimes it takes a hundred mornings Awkward stares and glances charming All the while just trying to get things right But when you finally fall, Time don't mean a thing All that matters is the joy your lover brings Of all the things to find When you lay down for the night To find peace Is the greatest gift of all But soon as you recount the evening Something sets your mind a'reeling Something drives you up, Right up the wall But when you finally fall, Your thoughts don't mean a thing All that matters is the joy your slumber brings What makes life worth it all Is the simple things Like a careless sleep and the way your lover sings

Reality TV 03:30

Tired 05:07
Pamper yourself with a little white Box of amphetamine Open your window and see that there's money in the sky Lend me your wisdom and give me a piece of your mind Come next December, I promise you It'll be alright It'll be alright I'm just too tired To tell you I'm sorry I'm just too tired To tell you who I am Carry yourself to the bottom of The lake that you're drowning in Don't mind the surface, it's only just A figment of your mind Give me your signal to let me know That everything is fine Come next November I promise you, The sun is gonna shine The sun is gonna shine I'm just too tired To tell you I'm sorry I'm just too tired To tell you who I am

Ghost 02:54
Well if you paint me an airplane Love, then I'll paint you a sky For you to hang all of your secrets Until the day you die Until the rain comes and it goes Floods all the places you fancy the most And you might try to fight it but you can't deny it My love, you'll become a ghost So when the night falls and the day has passed And you find good things never last What's to say they won't ever come back Well if you sing me a lullaby Yeah, then I'll write you a poem That you can tape right to your ceiling For the moments you feel alone Until the time comes And it will, When you'll tear it up, leave it out on your windowsill And I might try to fight it But I can't deny it, my words will become ghosts So when the night falls and the day has passed And you find good things never last What's to say they won't ever come back Well if you paint me an airplane Love, then I'll paint you a sky For you to hang all of your secrets Until the day you die Until the rain comes and it goes Floods all the places you fancy the most And you might try to fight it but you can't deny it I might try to fight it but I can't deny it We all try to fight it but we can't deny it We all become ghosts We all become ghosts We all become ghosts We all become ghosts

Plans 03:47
Show me the money And I'll stay the hell away from you I'll stay the hell away from you Quit tellin' me how I should live my life Cause it's the same thing twice And all you ever get is burned All you get is burned But don't you ever tell your father Cause I don't wanna be discouraged again And don't you ever tell your mother Cause I don't know if it's the right time I don't know if it's the right time Time Call me your lover And I'll pack my bags and live with you I'll pack my bags and live with you Then I'll buy us a house with my pocket change Don't worry or doubt, you know love we'll be okay We'll be okay But don't you ever tell your father Cause I don't wanna be discouraged again And don't you ever tell your mother Cause I don't know if it's the right time I don't know if it's the right time Time

The Line 03:37
I saw the line where the universe meets the sky I saw the line where the hourglass is still Down by the lake as I was waiting for the day to break Down by the lake, I saw her coming from the hills Well I saw her dance across the waves and steal my soul I saw her dance across the waves and just carry me home Carry me home Carry me home I took a walk to the place where time will never stop I took a walk and found the fool out on the hill She held out her hand and asked me if I'd like to understand She held out her hand and here's exactly what she said When you see me dance across the waves gimme your soul When you see me dance across the waves, Love I'll carry you home Carry you home Carry you home

Down 03:48
Down, don't you bring me down Don't you spin me round Set my feet on the ground Out, don't you wear me out Make me wonder and doubt What it's really all about Cause I swear I've had enough But oh, I guess I'm outta luck Cause all my friends have given up on me I'm begging for some sympathy I'm begging for some sanity I'm begging for you, please come help me out Down, don't you bring me down Don't you ever make me frown Drag my name right through the ground When the drugs don't work Ain't it what you've heard If it's on your mind Then it's in your eyes And it's really no surprise But oh, I guess I'm outta luck Cause all my friends have given up on me I'm begging for some sympathy I'm begging for some sanity I'm begging for you, please come help me out Down, don't you bring me down Don't you spin me round Set my feet on the ground
