Muse 04:13
I met this girl She was someone special She woke up all these dreams I thought I'd left behind I met this girl she was someone special she surfaced all these feeling buried deep inside Chorus: And there's no easy way to say this this girl is always on my mind but like water falling through my fingers I'm left behind I met this girl she seemed a little dangerous like a swirling fog that leads you to the cliff's knife edge I met this girl bound by circumstances she didn't know where she was going but I know I'm going there too...
2.
Ledge 03:42
Another wasted day, another empty glass So much indecision, living in the past Step away from the edge Numb to kindness, blind to love This is not who I am, or who I want to be Step away from the edge Round and round we go... Wakened, I pushed those memories over the edge You can't be hurt by things you cannot touch Step away from the edge...
3.
Pyre 03:56
Like a candle guttered, by the winter's rage I remember your face as you, out of hope and out of time Turned the page Chorus: Then you were cold as a stone My heart was on fire Blazing into the night, higher and higher I gave my heart, yeah I gave it all Now where do we go from here Do the embers go cold, or fuel the fire? Bridge: You light the fire from within, and your tears they're burning my skin...
4.
Laid Down 03:54
Bathed in shadow Just another night, where I've laid down my cards If I'd have shone a little more light, I'd have seen who you are... Chorus: Could have loved you too much, but that's not who I am Holding back the best of what it means to be your man So much sorrow and dreams we'll never know Since the day I let you go... Choking on memories Finding the right words, ten year too late Feeling stupid, feeling like a coward, feeling your hate
5.
Be good to your friends though you treated them as anchors, a means to an end Three thousand miles from home might have well have crossed an ocean adrift and alone... Chorus: I remember last summer Felt like the sun never went down Put our world back together, like was the last summer Don't waste a precious moment the years are rolling by fast, like footprints fading in sand And we're getting older, and they're growing bolder catching clouds in their hands... Bridge: I thinking about, the hot sun on her skin and the electricity, in the air at Kincardine I think about, days taken for granted The challenges we faced, decisions we made, and years we'll never see again... Be good to your friends Though you treated them as anchors, a means to an end...
