Keeping it out now
Keeping it in
Let it all begin
Thinking about
Thinking it through
Well it's just me and you
And I don't know if I'd call this love
It's something I'm not so very sure of
So I don't know if I'd call it at all
Sure that it's right now
Sure that it's wrong
Put it all into these songs
Feel the trust
And feel the pain
Then let it happen again
And I don't know if I'd call this love
It's something I'm not so very sure of
So I don't know if I'll call it
I don't know if I'll call it
I don't know if I'll call it at all

Moments, Days, and Ages

You fall down
and everything is quiet for a while
I follow you down to the ground again
We get up
Check for damage decide to move on
Recognize that place again
'Cause what we're trying to build takes Moments, Days, and Ages
Trying to read the book
Not just turn pages
Trying to find the stillness in this turning world
This turning world
All in a row
Easy come means easy go
Recognize that place again
You know what they say
Don't you know the words that they say
Recognize that phrase again
'Cause what we're trying to build takes Moments, Days, and Ages
Trying to read the book
Not just turn pages
Trying to find the stillness in this turning world
This turning world
Guess that I know
I could stay or I could go
Recognize that place again
I know what you say
Don't you know I love what you say?
Recognize your face again
'Cause what we're trying to build takes Moments, Days, and Ages
Trying to read the book
Not just turn pages
Trying to find the stillness in this turning world
This turning world
What we're trying to build takes Moments, Days, and Ages
Trying to read the book
and not just turn the pages
Trying to find the stillness in this turning world
This turning world

Heard Those Words Before

Well I say I'm sorry
You've heard those word before
You say nothing's ever different
Why can't it be different
This time
Let's try again
You've heard those words before
You say nothing's ever different
Why can't it be different
This time
I say I love you
You've heard those words before
You say nothing
You say nothing
You say nothing
This time

Nickel Song

Nothing ever really seems to change
But nothing here ever quite seems the same
Walking down the hallway
Waking out the door
But I don't know what it is I do my
Walking for
Nothing ever really seems to change
But nothing here ever quite seems the same
I've been on an aeroplane
I've been on a fast train
But I don't know what it is that brings me
Back again
Nothing ever really seems to change
But nothing here ever quite seems the same
I can try to listen
And I can try to hear
But when it gets very far it brings me
Right back to here
Nothing ever really seems to change
But nothing here ever quite seems the same

Keeping it out now
Keeping it in
Let it all begin
Thinking about
Thinking it through
Well it's just me and you
And I don't know if I'd call this love
It's something I'm not so very sure of
So I don't know if I'll call it at all
Try to be good now
Try to be cruel
Just don't act the fool
Pictures of you
Pictures of me
Could they really be
And I don't know if I'd call this love
It's something I'm not so very sure of
So I don't know if I'll call it at all
Well we live our lives
Live in the world
It's a beautiful thing
Boy meets a girl
Think about possibility
And try to live hide balance find
reality
Sure that it's right now
Sure that it's wrong
Put it all in a song
Feel the trust and feel the pain
Let it happen again
And I don't know if I'd call her love
Just something I'm not so very sure of
So I don't know if I'll call it
I don't know if I'll call it
I don't know if I'll call it at all

How Could I Know
03:58

This can't be the morning
'cause I was holding you in the night
Did I miss a warning?
Is there something wrong with my sight?
How could I know
to beg you please don't go?
How could I know?
Telephone ringing
but it's only 3 a.m.
The news that it's bringing
Better get down here as fast as you can
How could I know
to beg you please don't go?
How could I know?
Say it once so I know that you hear me
Say it once so I know that you're here
Faith, freedom, distance, and time
A far-off horizon, yes
Distance and time
How could I know
to beg you please don't go?
How could I know?
