Lyrics
Return Echo
Dim The Lights
from the day your born
fate is drawn
the lines are written
in your hands
as you grow
life unfolds
the stories run
like a tv show
the plot thickens as you go
write the next episode
this is our time down here
are we nothing more than players on a stage
we live with our hopes and fears
so dim the lights
dim the lights
and settle in
time goes on
you move along
and learn to listen
to your soul
what happens next you can never know
choices are ours to make
but sometimes we make mistakes
this is our time down here
are we nothing more than players on a stage
we live with our hopes and fears
so dim the lights
dim the lights
my mother told me at 24 years
you better know where you’re going
life’s gonna build you up
it’s gonna tear you down
some days it swallows you whole
don’t stop trying
don’t stop
beneath these lights
is a world I live alone
but I’m still here
and I’ve got a story to tell
dim the lights
dim the lights
and settle in

NEW
Love Is All We Have
later on
when the lights go out
and you still have a moment to spare
pray for all the lost and lonely souls
who are searching for someone to care
the world is changing every single day
soon we’re gonna have to find a way
back to love
love is all we have to survive
love is all we have tonight
though our skin may look different
we’re the same underneath young and old
so don’t give in
to the rhetoric
of division that we’re being sold
I can’t even read the news today
the only thing that takes the pain away
is love
love is all we have to survive
love is all we have tonight
where do we go without it
it’s all we have to make it better
how can we live without it
everyone knows
that the answer is only love
love is all we have to survive
love is all we have tonight

Don't Let Me Go Just Yet
Southern California
we watched the sunset on the west
so good to see your face again
felt like a perfect
long distance love affair
but it all came to an end
when you said don't forget
we were friends the day we met
and there's no reason we should change that now
I have no regrets
of the summer that we spent
I try to tell my heart but it says...
don't let me go just yet
don't let me go just yet
maybe I imagined
the life I thought we had out here
but it seems like you had other plans
what about the simple things
did we take them all for granted
did we ever really stand a chance
was my timing wrong
was it a gamble all along
I'm left with all these questions in my head
now I would have bet
we'd be lovers 'till the end
I try to tell my heart but it says...
don't let me go just yet
don't let me go just yet
from a spark
to a flame
we were fire
an inferno so untamed
now I'm sifting through
the ruins and remains
of a love
that we held
in the palm
of our hands
it makes no sense
why you'd walk away
when everything was so right
don't let me go just yet
don't let me go just yet
don't let me go just yet
don't let me go...

I Know You Too Well
you smile like there's nothing wrong
like the DJ played your favorite song
but the tears are right behind it
I know you too well
you'll say it's just the way it goes
the disappointment never shows
you pretend it doesn't matter
but I know you too well
while you laugh it away
there's a pain in your heart
that stays
say no words and still I understand you
the light behind your eyes that shines through
love is something that we share together
I'll be here and that's forever
when you say you don't need help
cuz you'd rather do it by yourself
you'll turn to me
I know you too well
don't convince me that you've given up
packed it in and called it a day
you always find a way
I know you too well
two is stronger than one
our journey has only just begun
say no words and still I understand you
the light behind your eyes that shines through
love is something that we share together
I'll be here and that's forever
beyond the shadow of doubt
you'll find a love you can't live without
say no words and still I understand you
the light behind your eyes that shines through
I'll remember all the moments that we
build along our lifelong story

Lonely Man In Paris
I'm a lonely man in Paris tonight
I walk along Rue Saint Lazare
lost in the city lights
I know I'll recognize her
by her eyes
she'll be luminous and magic
so full of life
she'll take me in her arms
in a moment bon vivant
avec tout son coeur
she'll love me ever more
she was more than I imagined
she would be
with her subtle grace she bloomed
like the fleur de lys
and just like all those classic
movie scenes
she captivated every part of me
she took me in her arms
in a moment bon vivant
avec tout son coeur
she showed me something more
all this time I thought it was a girl I hoped to find
but I was wrong
so wrong
what I discovered took me by surprise
it was the city all along
now I'm in love
after all I've seen I know for sure
I'm a lonely man in Paris no more

The Great Unknown
don't you think that you're being too tough
when we could be in love instead
you know by now that I figured it out
when you push me you're pulling me closer
without a risk no reward
a chance that we cannot ignore
so step out of your comfort zone
and let's find out what lies beyond
the great unknown
I can tell when you’re acting so scared
that you were not prepared for a love like mine
you can let every doubt hold you down
or we can paint this town any color you'd like
I can't predict what comes next
but early indications would suggest
that you trust me just enough to let go
as we step into the great unknown
we're only here in this life
to face all the fear that we hide
love is an eternal road
that I want to walk beside you
and find out where it goes
uncover all the highs and lows
the mystery unravels as we go
we'll find a place to call our own
somewhere beyond the great unknown
somewhere beyond
the great unknown

No Turning Back
you found a spark
chose a path and you followed it
you're gonna make your mark
like all your heroes did
all the dedication
and the sacrifices made
when it comes together
the crown is yours to take
now you've come so far
don't lose sight of that
I know you're gonna be a star
there's no turning back
endless hours
time you spent perfecting it
sleepless nights
imagining that moment
nothing holds you back
no obstacle gets in your way
you'll risk it all
just to see that day
now you've come so far
don't lose sight of that
I know you're gonna be a star
there's no turning back

Return Echo
the ashes fell like snow upon
a landscape once beautiful
blanketing the streets we used to trust
what happens to those left behind
who can’t afford to run
can they survive among the rubble and the dust
peering through a smoke filled sky
children left to wonder why
they’re born into a war they did not start
but we can heal it
when we lay down our weapons and believe it
and the world will hear it
when we raise up our voices
and make them open their eyes
that we’re only here for a limited time
above the satellites
beyond the deep blue sky
the universe is open wide
there’s no need to fight
cuz there’s no battle lines
we’re all passengers of time
why can’t we learn from history
we waste the opportunity
or it’s easier to look the other way
praying for a hopeful sign
waiting for the satellites
to return echo: help is close behind
caravans of displaced souls
searching for their homes
but the signal’s lost and no one hears their cries
but we can heal it
when we lay down our weapons and believe it
and the world will hear it
when we raise up our voices
and make them open their eyes
that we’re only here for a limited time
above the satellites
beyond the deep blue sky
the universe is open wide
there’s no need to fight
cuz there’s no battle lines
we’re all passengers of time
every baby’s born with love in it’s eyes
while politicians can’t agree left or right
it’s as if they’re blind
if only they could see it from the other side
maybe then they’ll finally realize
they’ll realize
above the satellites
beyond the deep blue sky
the universe is open wide
there’s no need to fight
cuz there’s no battle lines
we’re all passengers of time
above the satellites
beyond the deep blue sky
the universe is open wide
there’s no need to fight
cuz there’s no battle lines
we’re all passengers
we’re all passengers
the world is waiting
the world is waiting
we gotta help it
we gotta help it
the world is waiting
the world is waiting
it’s up up to us to make it
make it right
make it right

Greetings from the Galaxy
the autumn dusk is calm and still
humble in it's quiet chill
the leaves go floating by
suspended in a time
when they lived among the trees
swaying on a summer breeze
for now they drift away
till spring returns
if you could see
how the world has changed
since you've been gone
how the days drag on
and the nights are long
but I sometimes find you in a dream
I look up at the stars at night
and I pick out the brightest one I can find
imagining
it's you
watching over me
sending all your love
and greetings from the galaxy
I drift along a city street
as if I'm on an open sea
lost among the crowd
I barely hear a sound
in my mind are picture stills
of that house up on the hill
a life we lived before
you went away
if you could see
how the world has changed
since you've been gone
now the days drag on
and the nights are long
but I sometimes find you in a dream
I look up at the stars at night
and I pick out the brightest one I can find
Imagining
it's you
watching over me
sending all your love
and greetings from the galaxy

Love Here Now
love
will constantly rise
as the sun to the sky
as the sea to the tide
I will always remain
by your side
here
we stand so small
these canyon walls
where we conquered our fear
where the desert stars
made it clear
now
as we take one last look
in our silence and awe
we'll look back on this day
as a moment to say
we found love here now

Between the Lines
I’ve been going along this highway
sometimes I don’t stay between the lines
I keep asking the same old questions
a thousand times
How did I get here
Where do I go now
I gotta find out what my purpose is
somehow
follow your chosen road
find your light
between the lines
all my life I followed reason
like those signs along that road
but even signs can be misleading
and then you’re lost
I’m gonna go out tonight
and find myself out there
you can meet me if you want to
but I’m not sure where
I’ve got through so many changes
took chances I’ll never regret
but sometimes your last hope
is your best bet
looking for self-assurance
changing lanes from right to wrong
moving over to the shoulder
but not for too long
so I’m out here tonight
where the road reaches into that sky
come along if you want to
just don’t ever ask me why
I go through so many changes
take chances I’ll never regret
sometimes your last hope
is your best bet
sometimes the miles go by unnoticed
and you look back on your past
like the lights in the rear view mirror
life’s approaching you fast
follow your chosen road
find your light
between the lines

Set In Stone
I wrangled all my courage
summoned all my strength
A defiant journey
into the unknown
you think that I'd know better
from living life this long
to recognize a lie when it's been told
let it go
leave it all behind
all my troubles pale in comparison
to living in your lie
where the promises lay empty
on the bedroom floor
I have come to know
nothing's set in stone
I struggled with your silence
stood vigil in my manner
and through it all
I never left your side
but therein lies the danger
of genuine intention
where you find yourself
falling from that climb
Let it go
script it how you like
starring in the role of unpredictable
I'm studying your lines
your watercolor memories only reveal more
of what I've come to know
nothing's set in stone

Penny In A Well
dropped a penny down into a well
and I closed my eyes
thought of all the things I could have
what more could I want
should I ask for a house on a beach
my own remote island
or the riches of some noble king
maybe the peace of self medidation
but as the penny sinks down
I realize
all I want is you
for as long as my heart's beating
all I want is you
the secret's not worth keeping
you
cuz love is still worth giving
I could ask for my name in the stars
or the keys to some fancy car
or a map of a treasure hidden deep
but then what would it mean
it wouldn't mean anything
no it wouldn't mean anything
cuz
all I want is you
for as long as my heart's beating
all I want is you
the secret's not worth keeping
you
cuz love is still worth giving
all I want
all I want
is you

Shades of Grey
take each day as it comes
'cuz it will never be returned
a moment savored
is a moment earned
my heart will now the way
even if it gets turned
any mistake
is a lesson learned
I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know
what's black and white today
turns into shades of grey
shades of grey
it's time take my time
no need to go to extremes
the truth isn't always
what it seems
I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know
what's black and white today
turns into shades of grey
shades of grey
I question everything
answer to no one
I don't need approval
my needy days are done
I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know
what's black and white today
turns into shades of grey
shades of grey

Stay
I've been in this place before
an island on a distant shore
the sea looks pretty in a brilliant green
but somethin's churning inside me
when you found me here I was so afraid
to unlock the gate and let me in
I will be afraid no more
so if I open up this door
you're gonna have to let me know
say that you're not gonna run away
there's nothing in this life that we can't face
I can't go on feeling this way
if you leave me hangin' on too long
I'm lookin' for a signal
prayin' for a sign
that you will still be here in the morning light
you came to me as a vision pure
like water rising up from the desert floor
so if I open up this door
you're gonna have to let me know
say that you're not gonna run away
there's nothing in this life that we can't face
I can't go on feeling this way
if you leave me hangin' on too long
I've been all alone too long
all I have left in me is this song
say that you're not gonna run away
there's nothing in this life that we can't face
I can't go on feeling this way
if you leave me hangin' on too long
say that you're not gonna run away
there's nothing in this life that we can't face
let me carry you away
to our island on that distant shore
stay
stay
stay

The Simple Truth
there's a reason why
I came here tonight
and it's got nothin' to do with fate
life goes by too fast
to be putting up a fight
'cuz what you'll wind up with is hate
I guess you know what I'm getting at
I think you see the point that I've been trying to make
I don't want to let another day go by
without saying what I've gotta say
you've been patient
and you've been kind
and you've endured every single side of mine
I can't make you love me all the time
but that doesn't mean that I don't try
I guess you know what I'm getting at
I think you see the point that I've been trying to make
I don't want to let another day go by
without saying what I've gotta say
without saying what I've gotta say
I love you

Ain't Got The Mind
I got a car
I got a road
I got a feeling
I should let you know
since you've been gone
there's something left
between us
I got a habit
of sleeping too long
maybe it's 'cuz
I'm sleepin' alone
I lie awake these nights
thinkin' of all I've won and lost
we all have dreams
and some get bought and sold
I got a thing for you
but your blood runs hot and cold
I got a heart
that's busted open
maybe it's worth it's weight in gold
but I ain't got the mind
to let you go
I got a prayer
I still got some hope
I feel like a boxer
against the ropes
I got a memory of you in my arms
I'm holding onto
I got an apartment
I live in alone
it's filled with guitars
and too many songs
I got no regrets
I settled my debts
but it's been a long road
we all have dreams
and some get bought and sold
I got a thing for you
but your blood runs hot and cold
I got a heart
that's busted open
maybe it's worth it's weight in gold
but I ain't got the mind
to let you go
like a spirit that won't cross over
a long lost wandering soul
I keep stoking the dyin' embers
that one burned out of control
we all have dreams
and some get bought and sold
I got a thing for you
but your blood runs hot and cold
I got a heart
that's busted open
maybe it's worth it's weight in gold
but I ain't got the mind
no I ain't got
the mind
to let you go

A Song That Never Ends
have you ever wondered
how the days and nights would be if you were here
would there still be other songs
you never knew you had inside
maybe I've discovered
the meaning of the world inside your words
they've helped me to carry on
maybe they'll get me through this night
maybe I'm holding on
to the days I'd like to go relive again
and some old photograph
taken way back when
you know it's been so long
but when I look into the eyes of your old friends
I know your still alive
in every one of them
you've a song that never ends
I've uncovered
more than just a memory of the past
these dusty souvenirs
they were all I thought I had
and you said love is just a moment
but those moments last a lifetime in our hearts
I know we can't change time
but those times, they changed our lives
and when the wind blows
through these empty branches
it's as if you're calling out to me
if only for a moment
you could be the candle burning in my room
you left this world too soon
but not without a trace
maybe I'm holding on
to the days I'd like to go relive again
and some old photograph
taken way back when
you know it's been so long
but when I look into the eyes of your old friends
I know your still alive
in every one of them
you've a song that never ends

Covered in Mud
maybe
we run out of rope
aimin' too high
and comin' in low
our love
is tender and wrong
never as strong
as thought it was
but when you break all the working parts
and pile up enough false starts
all you see from beneath is dark
and you're covered in mud
covered in mud
blurry
and lost from our view
our innocent days
the love that we knew
lately
we're diggin' so deep
tryin' to bury the past
but our hands aren't clean
when you're lost and you're far from home
to somewhere the grass ain't growin'
and that old storm comes to swallow you whole
you'll be covered in mud
covered in mud
empty
somethin' is gone
i don't wanna blame
the fighting is done
can we
try to go back
to an easier time
when we knew what we had
we can wait for the clouds to pass
or the rain's gonna cover our path
in a flood rising up too fast
we'll be covered in mud
covered in mud
maybe
we've run out of hope
aiming too high
coming in low

All The Way

uninspired and wishin' that you
had never given it a chance
c'mon now
think of tomorrow yeah I know how
to stop your sorrow and turn it around
yeah everything's gonna change
'cuz when you are here with me
I think you would agree

what is distracting
and you are in too deep
I wanna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way

a last goodbye and we'll drive up the coast
yeah that's where we're gonna go
let the wind dance around your hand
let all the thoughts that you just can't stand
rush outta your head
start thinking instead of us
in this California sun
honey let yourself come undone
start having a little fun
follow your passion
'cuz you are in too deep
I wanna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way
c'mon girl
it's time to show this cruel 'ole world
that now you know how to take it in stride
leave your troubles behind let's ride
go on and wipe all your tears
'cuz you cannot fix the broken days
that hurt you before
there's so more ahead
'cuz when you are here with me
I think you would agree
it's clearer for us to see
what is distracting
and you are in too deep
I wanna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way
you're in too deep
I gonna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way
