Future Pain Lyrics & Meanings: [Verse 1] / Old habits creep / Coming in the way they came before / Slowly filling in / Until you have an ocean at your door / There you are again / Sitting at the same spot at the bar / Saturn returned many moons ago / But you weren't looking to the stars / / [Pre-Chorus] / You come around here with your sad, sad eyes / I know where this is going, it won’t be a surprise / / [Chorus] / I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain / I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain / / [Verse 2] / Turn down the lights / Drink enough until we see each other right / This place won’t bite but it won't save you either / We're going down tonight / / [Pre-Chorus] / I'm staring down your sad, sad eyes / I know where this is going, it won't be a surprise / / [Chorus] / I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain / I've got nothing to lose and nothing to gain but future pain / / [Bridge] / Bad boys become sad boys / It's only c

Love Is an Art Lyrics & Meanings: [Verse 1] / Will you tell me your story? / I just want to listen / I just want the words to sink in to me / I know it’s been hard for you / I know that you’re getting through / If I could be the knife that cuts you free / / [Chorus] / Always moving the light through the dark / Always building up, falling apart / Love is an art / Love is an art / / [Verse 2] / Together we withstand the rain / Knowing what the storm can bring / Life to the roots / Roses to the garden / / [Chorus] / Always moving the light through the dark / Always building up, falling apart / Love is an art / Love is an art / / [Verse 3] / It’s in the alchemy / The sum of you and me / Love let us lift the screen / All our shame will melt away / Take power from the secrets we keep / / [Chorus] / Always moving the light through the dark / Always building up, falling apart / Love is an art / Love is an art

Fools Like Me Lyrics & Meanings: Beware the danger, it lurks for those who get swept away / The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say / It's all in the little ways one reveals their love's gone away / love's gone away / / When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure / And now I see a different man / Rewriting memories / The dogs run down the beach / And all I'm left with is sand in my shoes / Sand in my shoes / / 'Cause fools like me / Oh we love blindly / And the cracks don't count / It's gotta break in front of me / / Now I recall the time at the cafe, / The thunderstorm outside / Words you could never say / they hold the loudest tones / They say you're right / But it's ink on a page / just ink on a page / / But fools like me / Oh we love blindly / And the cracks don't count / It's gotta break in front of me / / Tick-tock the time / Distant look grows in your eyes / And fools never ask / Afraid what lurks in your eyes / I always knew, somehow always knew / I always knew the truth. / / Ca

Afterglow Lyrics & Meanings: Just when the days start getting colder / I walk the streets I never knew / There's some words I never told you / The sound rings out like the truth / / And if you could see / What's come over me / Then you would know / Cause I'm walkin' free / The wind at my back, bathed in afterglow / / As I sit here in this dark room / All I seem to feel is light / I see color, I see the maroon in the blood of this life. . . that's ours / / And if you could see / What's come over me / Then you would know / Cause I'm walkin' free / The wind at my back, bathed in afterglow / / Watch the sun / It paints an orange sky / Lay me down / And feel the days gone by / / Just when the days start getting longer / I walk the streets I never knew / The sun comes out for you / / And if you could see / What's come over me / Then you would know / Cause I'm walkin' free / The wind at my back, bathed in afterglow / / / / /

River Lyrics & Meanings: Sailors on the sea / Are we heading clear for the edge of the ocean? / There's no city that keeps you / You're a king for a gypsy / / Are you guided by some vision? / All your moves adding up to an ancient arc / We are free at the canyon / Cliff of my heart / / The river flows, it takes ahold / It's running through / You ain't changing on your own, I change for you / The river flows / It always flows / / He walks home to another city / His mind stuck in an ancient war / All you need is the space for the beauty to take you / And she will take you / / The river flows, it take ahold / It's running through / You ain't changing on your own, I change for you / The river flows / It always flows / / Flows through you / Flows through you / / The river flows, it takes ahold / It's running through / You ain't changing on your own, I change for you / The river flows / It always flows / And we're just sailors on the sea / We're just sailors on the sea...

Last Fall Lyrics & Meanings: As I leave the demons behind me / I find myself within your eyes / I didn’t seem to know what I was missing / Just seemed so out of my eyesight / / But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up / There to where you’re calling me / No more asking why no more foolish lies / Cause I have finished falling / / As I fight the shadows that disguise me / Dyin’ for these hidden ways / All that seems so far is now behind me / And I can soar while my heart is left sinking / / But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up / There to where you’re calling me / No more asking why no more foolish lies / Cause I have finished falling / / And it's as if new old eyes have found me, ‘cause things look different than before / I've never felt so light and so free and so willing to go on no matter what I come across / Cause I will not stop pushing ‘til I have recovered what was lost / / Feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up / There to where you’re cal
