Lend me your answer, I want it; I want it right now From the day we were born the whole world was against us somehow You cannot relieve me by choosing to stay or to go I'll finally meet ya when I feel ya far down the road So tell me this, will you call it quits When your monsters come back, try to shackle your wrists You and me it'll always be; some days the best we can do is Pretend like we're livin' free Sunrays and brainwaves, you manage to laugh at my jokes And daftly accuse me of thinkin' that love is a hoax You see no man can be trusted 'til he's helped you fight through a squall So don't take my word for it, but I'll be there through it all So tell me this, will you call it quits When your monsters come back, try to shackle your wrists You and me it'll always be; some days the best we can do is Pretend like we're livin' free Livin' free, all I can give you is my company So tell me this, will you call it quits When your monsters come back, try to shackle your wrists You and me it'll always be; some days the best we can do is Pretend like we're livin' Tell me this, will you call it quits When your monsters come back, try to shackle your wrists You and me it'll always be; some days the best we can do is Pretend like we're livin' free

Again, again, again the warm frothy cup of coffee in my hands The sweet promise of some honest conversation To remind me I'm human Again, again, again every word that you said to my Heart and my head as we start walkin' out There's a storm up ahead but I haven't a doubt in us Among my first thoughts I find that your Whispers have taught me that love doesn't have to be blind Among the first time I'd seen you I thought that you'd love me too, but then one day I knew Naturally in time again I'll be able to call you my friend And you'll be privy to the heart-warming sentiment From a confident human But there's someone else in line again for your conscious affections But when will you drop the romance for an unresolved mystery 'Cause what you and I have goes beyond what the eye can see Among my first thoughts I find that your Whispers have taught me that love doesn't have to be blind Among the first time I'd seen you I thought that you'd love me too, but then one day Among my first thoughts I find that your Whispers have taught me that love doesn't have to be blind Among the first time I'd seen you I thought that you'd love me too, but then one day I knew

I love you but I won't tell 'Cause the last time I said the words it didn't end well Wish I could right all the wrongs But here's to you 'cause I never caught you singin' Any of your favorite songs There's something I can't see A part of us you're not ready to be Each tired raindrop glistening 'Cause today I cannot hear you but I'll always bother listening Exhausted smiles awake too late Passing miles by on the interstate Further and further from a distant home But my fate's not sealed because I'm not alone There's something I can't see A part of us you're not ready to be Each tired raindrop glistening 'Cause today I cannot hear you but I'll always bother listening There's something I can't see A part of us you're not ready to be Each tired raindrop glistening 'Cause today I cannot hear you but I'll always bother listening There's nothing for me to say To change the way you feel when I'm away There's nothing for me to say To change the way you feel when I'm away There's something I can't see A part of us you're not ready to be Each tired raindrop glistening 'Cause today I cannot hear you but I'll always bother listening

Coffee and love by the sea Salty winds are reminders of what I can't be so I Head down and fire up the old motorbike and drive off Maybe hours of motion could spare me the terrible notion That you're far away So be like the breeze that speaks to me softly Again and again on this long country road Darling please be like the air I breathe on this Path far from home when I'm almost alone 'Cause our sunset's approaching and the night will be cold And for now you surround me but I've no one to hold May our words burn before midnight begins to freeze Be like the breeze Balance of caffeine and dread Helps me paralyze thought and keep looking ahead 'til Tornadoes of leaves rush against my long sleeves And I know I'm in the Midwest All this swift humble motion just worsens that terrible notion But I'm on my way Waking up to some rivers of light Streaming in through the window like stars did last night I recall your last message that you'd almost arrived But even so my heart's cold inside Navy blue door handle taking my hand Is that you; Those last miles felt so snowy and bland Are you here; Come downstairs 'cause I've found our new home It's you; I'm no longer alone And I'll never feel like you're gone 'cause you'll Be like the breeze that speaks to me softly Again and again on this long country road Darling please be like the air I breathe on this Path far from home when I'm almost alone 'Cause our sunset's approaching and the night will be cold And for now I'm so glad that I've someone to hold May our words burn before midnight begins to freeze Be like the breeze

We, we cannot speak through The sea; you didn't behold me when I dove beneath But I can feel you stare through your long hair Made darker by the water there when we were free Mae, it wasn't always this way Those old autumn Sundays were spent in a haze And as the sun laid her eyes on our romance I swear the very trees could dance and we were free Let the winds above Let them sing to you my love, my one true love Home, we couldn't have made it our own Saw the colonies suffer beneath George's throne And you met the man who'd been setup to wed you He'd have garnished and fed you, but you chose me Your mother learned soon you denied his request Said of Britain's lieutenants this man is the best You said Mom, you care, I know But I'm already in love and with him I must go Then your father stepped in, you must marry this man For if he cannot have you then nobody can You cried fine, I will, but you must know I've a heart That someone like him cannot fill Run, together we made it across the sea Mae, as soon as I can I will buy you a ring And you said dearest, but you are my treasure Nothing else could measure and we were free Home, my brothers let's make it our own Together we'll take it from under the throne But as we tally the dead I ask Lord why And how many years must pass us by 'til we are free Let the winds above Let them sing you fast asleep, my one true love Home, I hate to leave you alone They gave me a fortnight before I must go But Mae, we've almost won; I can feel it Even if you can't believe it, we will be free Done, the enemy's falling My sweetest, we've won; It's been nearly a year since I've seen you So I'll run, 'cause you haven't sent me a word since last Fall But I felt your love through it all 'til we were free Let the winds above Let them take you in their arms, my one true love Wrong, where is my darling Where had you gone; I begged our dear friends Please don't sing me this song And they said while giving birth you both passed on You whispered give my love to John and then you were free Let the winds above Let them see us off at last, my one 'Cause I pray the winds above They will show us to our home, my one true love
