Someday soon I’ll learn, how to hold myself around you
Put my shoulders back, and step down off the tightrope
The only thing constant is change
And I know that there's no way, to know all the ways
So go, go, go, go and come back...
I wish I could split, myself into two
That way I’d never have, never have to leave you
The way that I feel doesn't change
And I know that there’ll be a day
When I come back
So go, go, go, go and come back…
So go, go, go, go and come back…
Someday soon I’ll learn, how to live without you.

2. Make Your Own Magic
Did you knock at my door? Or was that just the wind?
Feels like I’ve been here before, but this time it feels different
I’m in control, I’m in control, I’m in control, I’m in control
Did you not get enough affection growing up? You need it from me?
I cannot make enough love for both of us
I’m working on me
Make your own magic, make your own magic, make your own magic, make your own magic
Miles away, I’m retracing my steps
I can feel the ground under my feet again
Miles away, I’m retracing my steps
I can feel the ground under my feet again
Make your own magic, make your own magic, make your own magic, make your own magic...

3. Bloom
Tell you how I feel without words.
How many words do I know?
Or maybe it’s just enough,
to look at you, in the morning,
when we wake up, and before we sleep.
I know I can’t ask a lot,
but if you were to tell me anything,
tell me everything, about how you feel,
when I take your hands, and put them around me.
I know that I could say more,
but I want to let all the empty space do the talking,
while we walk, past everyday objects, that bloom in the dark.

4. Running Out
Blood reminders, staring at me from the milk of your skin
Tearing a hole, in my concentration
Reminding me, you were never mine, you're never gonna be,
and all we have is time, that's, running out
running out
running out
running out
"Fly away, this is too much”...
"But don't you think it's worth the pain?"...
"Oh, only on good days… Only on good days"…
This is easy, just don't fall in love, otherwise you're gonna want too much, and it's, running out…
running out
running out
running out
Maybe it's not running out…
sure feels like it's running out…
maybe it's not running out…

5. Overflowing Heart
Feelings die
and feelings start
in my overflowing heart
No one knows where they go
We just keep a part
in our overflowing heart
Your good advice
you lose sight of it every night
you can start again in the morning
your medicine
your struggle to keep it in
like a tide rushing out
of your overflowing heart
Let me share in the wealth
of your overflowing heart
cut yourself a break kid
you're not always responsible for how it ends
Feelings die
and feelings start
in my overflowing heart
No one knows where they go
We just keep a part
Let me share in the wealth
of your overflowing ...
