Oh, I wanna be a better man
I hope you see, I hope you see
That nothing I do was meant for me and not you
The road ahead is a two-way street
And invisible, and invisible, oh
I hope we find the strength to cut through the weeds
That hide our buried treasure, yeah
I gotta get something off of my chest
Oh, how I wish I could turn and watch you dance
Follow me through this Wonka Factory
And I will keep my eyes ahead my dear
Follow me through this Wonka Factory
And I will steer my heart away from fear
It's been a long time under, but I can't believe it
I can't believe it, no
I'd rather be down here with you than up there with them
Am I an introvert?
We won't surrender now
It's just a question how, but don't worry
Don't worry, it always seems to work itself out
Work itself out
I wish I could forget
Not everything that is broken can be repaired
Yeah we will run and hide from the vandals
That sleep inside our eyelids
Trap us in the depths of the underworld
Yeah I will make a deal with King's little brother
We will sneak down undercover
Leaping out of this cave
Eyes uncovered we run
Eyes uncovered

You Better Dance

He planted his feet and the earth could feel his soles
He clutched the wooden handle and inhaled through his nose
They watch with bated breath, he assumed a fighting pose
The sun was beating hot and the earth was still
He played it note for note
He gave it all he's got
You better dance
Like it's your last chance, ooh
You better dance, aah
He paused and took a bow but it wasn't over yet
The onlookers turned away
A new challenger approaching with a mean look in her eye
and a single stomp that clouded the sky
She played it note for note
She didn't even try
You better dance
Like it's your last chance, ooh
You better dance
A fight the death

Your Eyes Are Flowers!

She took him by the hand
And asked "are ready to go Mr. Summer?"
To a secret place
Will I survive the night, he wondered
They ran from dusk to dawn
Through rain clouds and thunder
Say, my new friend
I hope that you know, you know that
Your eyes are flowers
Your eyes are flowers
Three months had gone by
and they were still pushing on ahead
As leaves turned to snow, poor Mr. Summer hung his head
And she said
Don't let go, I won't let go, don't you let go, I won't let go
It's not far away, you'll see
Oh can't we take the train
She said what's the fun in that, what's the fun in that, baby
Your eyes are flowers
Your eyes are flowers
Oh, thirty years had gone by and you know
They were still going as fast and as far as they could
They'd seen some sights along the way but she wondered to herself
If he had ever understood
And she said my my love don't you cry, don't you cry
I can tell you that we're almost there
And he laughed as he kissed her and said
Oh Miss Winter, I believe I got something to say
And he said
Your eyes are flowers
Your eyes are flowers

You don't have to go to bed if you think you'll need it
To get through your epic battles
Lay down your sword and shield
Take off your helmet now
Feel your sweat evaporate as you realize
Nothing's gonna get you here
It will be all better tomorrow you'll see
When you wake well rested from your sleep, baby
You will see all your bad dreams of monsters
Are simply fantasy
You don't have to stay awake either
You can do exactly what you wanna do
As long as it's not pacing, planning how you'll break the trap
It will be all better tomorrow you'll see
When you wake well rested from your sleep, baby
All your bad dreams of monsters
Are simply fantasy

More Than A Fantasy
03:46
|

I know you like the back of my hand
To pick you out from the million grains of sand
Is to close my eyes and reach out to find you
You tell me it's not real life when I hold you and keep you
In my arms and if I didn't know better
I would tell you the same
Oh love
Is more than a fantasy
When it seems like they'll get the better
And we have no choice but to surrender
We will fight until we see the light of day
Because as they grow older
We will grow stronger
Oh please hold me just a little longer
All our troubles will go away
Oh love
Is more than a fantasy

Gold
03:24
|

When nothing seems like everything
You must take the torch, take the torch and run
Another sunset leaves you circling
You must take the torch, take the torch and run
One more step and we are closer
One more day and we are older
We will find our gold
Through trials and traps we run
We won't lose control
You look like you could use a drink
Oh tell me your story and try not to bore me
I take it you dream of what your eyes can't see
Oh I'm lying awake, lying awake
One more step more step and we are closer
One more fight and we are bolder
We will find our gold
Through Trials and traps we run
We won't lose control

Maria

Yeah I'm agitated, impatient
Waiting for that payoff
Maybe unrelated, correlated
I want you to know who I am
To know who I am, yeah
If I could cast a spell
If I could cast a spell I would cast it on you
I'm telling true
Maria
Hallelujah
Keep me company, keep me company
You light a fire in me, yeah fire
Whisper in my ear, oh tell me my dear
Your desire is me
The night is a canvas, tonight is a canvas
Do I come off too strong, oh no
Maria
Hallelujah
Maria
Hallelujah

Sanctuary
03:36
|

|
You are my sanctuary
You remind me I have no enemies
When the dust settles I turn to see
Your gentle eyes watching over me
You are stronger than you know
You can beat them without a single blow
Restlessly I scale the waterfall
I lose my grip, you know I wasn't high at all
Together we will save ourselves from needless pain
And the lessons we learn will guide us back home
Together we will heal from what we've sustained
And we will be lighter than we have ever known before
I pick a fight with yesterday
You come to my side, I know you will
All the reasons I could give up
We leave behind as I follow you here
Together we will save ourselves from needless
And the lessons we learn will guide us back home
Together we will heal from what we've sustained
And we will be lighter than we have ever known before
Together we will save ourselves from needless
And the lessons we learn will guide us back home
Together we will heal from what we've sustained
And we will be lighter than we have ever known before

The Adventure Begins
06:27

I once met a girl with sunflowers for eyes
She took me by the hand and made me realize I was blind
Without fear I could dive from the cliff to the water below
Cold is the feeling that you can't live out
Cold is the air surrounding you and your blankets
You better swim, as my father once told me a long time ago
And he said as you grow stronger
I will grow older too
You search for the treasure
Time will pass for you too
I once met a girl who could shred a violin
In fancy letters, my name was painted on her skin
She told me not to cry; I could wake well rested from my sleep
Bad dreams of scary monsters are never real life
They can't touch you if you see right through their disguise
You are safe, you are home, you are in control
Don't wait for the adventure
You must find it on your own
Because as you grow older
They will grow stronger too
