Lyrics

Columbus’s America

What can I do if I was lost? Would I write you?

Would I sing a silly song or just forget you?

But how could you be so afraid when I could never break you?

So why don’t you just take my hand? ‘Cause I am like you

All my life I wondered, is it this my nature?

I am nobody, I have nobody

But then you came and told me so

Love me more and never go away

Don't ever go away

To meet a girl at such a place

It takes a look and a smile on her face

Oh what a face!

Could it be coincidence that you felt my innocence?

And loved me ever since?

And I've been taken away

From here to Columbus's America

I hope I find you there

And I'm just trying to sail

To a place where dreams become reality

Where no one ever dared

But now I'm here, and yes, I'm near

Just look at me can't you see my fear?

But now I'm here, and yes, I'm near

I know there're things you won't believe

[Guitar/Piano solos]

And I've been taken away

From here to Columbus's America

I hope I find you there

And I'm just trying to sail

To a place where dreams become reality

Where no one ever dared

But now I'm here, and yes, I'm near

Just look at me can't you see my fear?

But now I'm here, and oh yes, I'm near

I know there're things you won't believe

The Queen of Seasons

Shades of autumn in her hair

Brown leaves falling everywhere

Smiles like a summer's day

Like the radiant sun she clears the way

Smells like a springtime rose

And holds the key to all the doors

Understand without a reason

The greatness of the queen of seasons

Don't leave me now and come back tomorrow

This feeling is really hard to follow

Every time you go away

You take the weather with you

Why do you have to leave so soon

The sun doesn't believe you

[Guitar solo]

Romeo, don't you know?

Every time you close your eyes the sky begins to soar

Hold on, you should know

The world is closing in as you go

[Guitar solo]

I can’t stand the way I'm feeling

This pain is way too strong

My dreams are so deceiving

And yet don't seem so wrong

I'm wide awake, I look but I can't find you

I cannot fake and pretend not to love you

Come with me and be my own

It's getting cold whenever I'm alone

Run astray and take me away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away, away

Fly away

Smell My Feet

I can't seem to find my way through the clouds

'Cause everywhere I look there’re pictures of you

And when I open my eyes to see the morning light

It's just a reflection of the things that you do

I sat by the window and I wrote you a song

I drew your face on my hands and my wall

It felt like forever when I looked at your face

It took a while before I came back to place

'Cause I'm meaning to tell you all the things that I feel

Trying to show you all the music that I hear

When I come across you in my mind or in the street

And how I tend to lose the feeling in my feet

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh!

Maybe I need some faith to pull me through

'Cause when I think about it I'm lost without you

So try to understand what it feels to be your man

So won't you just give me a chance?

[Guitar solo]

Immature

You can see that I'm here,

That is so clear

But can you hear what I say?

I'm trying to pray

For you to be free

From all your mind chains

I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong and I am right

I just wanna show you what I see in your eyes

I see fear whenever I am near

Is it love the feeling that you fear?

Why are you afraid to let me inside your heart?

Before it's too late when I'll no longer want

[Guitar solo]

I'm beginning to think that you don't love me anymore

And it's explaining things I did not understand before

Why do you act so immature?

You should start to see my point of view

So why do you feel so insecure?

Be assured that I won't hurt you

I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong and I am right

I just wanna show you what I see in your eyes

I see fear whenever I am near

Is it love the feeling that you fear?

Let It Shine

Turn off the sun and light my soul

I need a little something for me to glow

Clear the sky and color your eyes

Read the thoughts between the lines and let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Oh help me take this off of my shoulders

Help me stand and I won't have to be afraid

Time is kicking in, we should be closer

Just for a second and I promise I won't break

Look a little closer and maybe you will see

That I'm just a poor boy I need your sympathy

Help me stand I won't have to be afraid

Cause the whole world under me is starting to shake

I need your help

I need your help, I need your help

I need your help, I need your help

Oh help me take this off of my shoulders

Help me stand and I won't have to be afraid

Time is kicking in, we should be closer

Just for a second and I promise I won't break

(We should be closer and I promise I won't break)

[Guitar Solo]

If you're lost and you can't find

Some old things to fill your time

Try and look the other way

And if you're taking too much time

And somehow can't make up your mind

Then maybe you should stay

I can see it on your face

You're just like me you're lost in space

I keep waiting for the day

You come on over and walk right in

Fill my world with lasting grins

How long will it take?

Feather

Though I float like a feather, I'd sink like a stone

I roll off your fingers and stumble back home

I'm wiser than ever, I'm weaker than before

Call me a liar and skin me to the bones

So take off your shoes and let down your hair

Stop the abuse, I'm filled with despair

Should I turn it down? Am I singing too loud?

Take away all your pride and throw it away

Falling deep it seems as though

I have lost the will to even speak

So don't think of it now

I'm not in for anything

So don't dream of it now

Just forget everything

So take off your shoes and let down your hair

Stop the abuse, I'm filled with despair

Should I turn it down? Am I singing too loud?

Take away all your pride and throw it away

Save Yourself

Chasing away all the memories

Trying to see what it all was to me

I’m fighting the pictures in my head

I don’t want to think of what you said

What was a burden now set it free

Save yourself because nobody will be there beside you

No one else, your eyes will be bleeding by you

It’s breaking my heart to see you go

But this ain’t the time to let it show

It’s hard to see where I was before

Blinded by you not by love for sure

Now that I see where I finally stand

I’m standing tall with an empty hand

What was a burden now is free

Save yourself because nobody will be there beside you

No one else, your eyes will be bleeding by you

It’s breaking my heart to see you go

But this ain’t the time to let it show

[Guitar solo]

Save yourself because nobody will be there beside you

No one else, your eyes will be bleeding by you

It’s breaking my heart to see you go

But this ain’t the time to let it show

To Live Again

I thought I loved you and acted I did

I don’t blame you for believing anything I said

Now it’s all clear there’s no need to disappear

That’s just the way it is, no darlings and dears

I’m starting to live again

A new life I begin, no scars on my skin

And I’m standing on my own

Standing on my own

That day I woke up and decided to change

To break all my habits and loosen some strings

Now it’s all clear and you were never my dear

That’s just the way it is, you shouldn’t be here

‘Cause I’m starting to live again

A new life I begin, no scars on my skin

And I’m standing on my own

Standing on my own

[Guitar solo]

So I go on just being alone

I won’t be scared and I will find home

And so I will run as fast as can be

I’m keeping my strains and I’m still flying free

[Guitar solo]

Free Ride

Hey, take a free ride

Cross the line into my heart

Into my open arms

Hey, won't you take my breath away

Finally you have come along

And I get a chance to sing this song

I've got holes in my heart the size of my fists

I've got troubles in my head that I can't even list

But wherever they take me I’ll be standing strong

Long as I know you were always right there all along

Won't you come and save me now

Won't you come and save me now

Hey, take a free ride

Hey, won't you take my breath away

Finally you have come along

And I get a chance to sing this song

Come free my soul I'm a victim of misery

Everything that moves looks like it's the same to me

Take me to the promised land where you and I belong

Where the sky is green and the grass is blue

And there's no one else just me and you

(No one else just me)

Won't you come and save me now

(No one else just me)

No one else just me and you

Where do you think you're gonna go without this love of mine

Straight to sadness you can bet your sweet fine behind

So shut up! (Shhhh!) Button your lips!

Just be quiet and sway your hips

All you gotta do is listen to what I say

[Guitar Solo]

Where do you think you're gonna go without this love of mine

Straight to sadness you can bet your sweet fine behind

So shut up! (Hey!) Button your lips!

Just be quiet and sway your hips

All you gotta do is listen to what I say

Hey, take a free ride

Cross the line into my heart

Into my open arms

Hey, won't you take my breath away

Finally you have come along

And I get a chance to sing this song

(Shhhh!)

Fill My Eyes

Come feel my veins running deeper into you

I always knew, somehow all this could be true

Come fill my eyes

Write my words

Give me life

I can be a fool

Thoughts aren't getting clearer

They just creep inside my mind

What I often say is not how I feel inside

So fill my eyes

Write my words

Give me life

I can be a fool

Every time I look around

I feel so planted in the ground

The scary silence whispers you

I try to shake my lonely bones

They were lonely all along

So I'll just wake up to what is true

Take my arms

Fold them from your way

Leave me be

I'll live the day

[Guitar solo]

Every time I look around

I feel so planted in the ground

The scary silence whispers you

I try to shake my lonely bones

They were lonely all along

So I'll just wake up to what is true

Take my arms

Fold them from your way

Leave me be

I'll live the day
