Come on in and drink my wine
Come on in and play your game
Ten years of run and hide and you're still the same
Take a look inside my soul
Take another piece of me
Feels bad, but I'm still glad for the company
These games we play
I never found the time
Ever more than I'm today
We carry on
'Til we can lay it down and, oh
The story can move along
Make a joke at my expense
Make a claim to be so wise
Know you can't play your fear through another's eyes
Tell me what I ought to know
Tell me what I ought to do
And I'll throw it down the wishing well, wishing well for you
These games we play
I never found the time
Ever more than I'm today
We carry on
'Til we can lay it down and, oh
The story can move along
(Yeah yeah yeah) I said another wave passes
(Yeah yeah yeah) We've got to show what we can do
(Yeah yeah yeah) Tide is comin' over
With the weight of all the world on you
Nothing more that I can be
Nothing more that I can give
Can't find a way to say it's okay to live
So shake a hand and make your peace
Shake a tail and make your way, but I
Can't keep your silence safe for another day
These games we play
I never found the time
Ever more than I'm today
We carry on
'Til we can lay it down and, oh
The story can move along

The road, roadblocks ahead
And the whisper is saying turn back
All I can see is the rain
And the world took out its anger on me
But before I fall
It's you I call
Oh love, curse you with all of your truth
'Cause I knew you were there
But all I can see is the pain
And the world said that I should be ashamed
Of those tears I cried
But still you tried to
Light up these eyes
All I can say is you show me the wonder inside
Your words, etched on my soul
Like the songs I would sing as a boy
When all that I knew was the blame
I believed, you'd bring me up then cut me down
So I pushed away
Now I wish you'd stay and
Light up these eyes (so I can see)
Light up these eyes (what you mean to me)
Light up these eyes
All I can say is you show me the wonder inside
There's a world that I know
Ever since knowing you
Gotta get you back in my arms
Gotta do what I can...
Light up these eyes
All I can say is you show me the wonder inside
Light up these eyes (so I can see)
Light up these eyes (what you mean to me)
Light up these eyes
All I can say is you show me the wonder inside

Never Look Down (Live)
04:05

Sail on well, oh sailor
Fly your flag so high
Telling me I’m too proud to see
Today we die
All these words you tailor
Sing your song so bold
Do I fear the end's coming near? Will I do what I'm told?
Do what I'm told
‘Cause you know I...
Won't heed those lies
Can't see no ground
You say I won't make it if I fall, so I'll
Never look down
Never knew much sorrow
Guess you'll save my soul
Telling you, it ain't coming true
I've played that role
I need not beg nor borrow
Mama sold her blues
Daddy's fine, never felt like mine
I've paid my dues
Paid my dues
‘Cause you know I
Won't heed those lies
Can't see no ground
You say I won't make it if I fall, so I'll
Never look down
I've seen your eyes on fire
I've watched you burn me down and oh...
Won't heed those lies
Can't see no ground
You say I won't make it if I fall, so I'll
Never look down
Won't heed those lies
Can't see no ground
You say I won't make it if I fall, so I'll
Never look down

Will you say goodbye
When you leave, early tomorrow?
Seems as though, life's got a funny way
Of letting us know
We’re not the ones in control
Why did fate decide
That I should know what it means to know you?
Then be told to turn away
And let go of something
I've never ever even held onto
Passing moments and lullabies
Shared between us two
And I don't need no endless night
To find a road to you
A moment right now will do
Maybe stars will fall
Maybe we could still have our moment
I won’t ask if it seems as though
We would have to move a mountain
To get to the other side
Please don’t turn away
I'm not a man with great expectations
Just to be here right now
Seems like fate is on my side
For the very first time
Passing moments and lullabies
Shared between us two
And I don't need no endless night
To find a road to you
A moment right now will do
Stolen Moments and sleepless eyes
Fly away so soon
And I don't need to tell you lies
Or speak of long goodbyes
To find a road to you
We could walk together
I would walk forever
But a moment right now will do
