Deep is the water under my bridge, flowing
And short is the lifetime that I’ve lived, knowing
Messing up and starting over again
Maybe all the breaks and the young mistakes were supposed to carry me here
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I’ve let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
Looking for answers what have I missed, someone
I want to be so much better than this, in the long run
Stepping forward and falling backwards again
When I get the breaks will the young mistakes be the ones to carry me on
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I’ve let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
I know I’ll get there, things will get better
Better with every day
And what lies behind me will not define me.
I tell myself nothing can stop me now
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I’ve let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
Changing Us Lyrics – Brendan James
We’ve come closer than we wanted, we’ve seen what we never should
And we will not be the same. We’ll never be the same, no.
Like steel we are so resilient, but too much and we’re weak as children.
We were not meant to be made witness to these scenes, no.
Gunshots in a broken palace, planes crashing and burn around us
It’s different than it ever was, darker than it’s ever been
Three shouts and thank God I found you
With the crowd and the fog around you I’ll never let you fall, I’ll never let you fall
Oh Heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Two kids in a crooked alley, school canceled again
And now they won’t learn a single lesson except how to load a weapon
And right here on this old soil we hope for peace and we pray for joy
But like everybody else we’re still fighting with ourselves
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
And we will not be the same. We’ll never be the same, no.
Like steel we are so resilient, but too much and we’re weak as children.
We were not meant to be made witness to these scenes, no.
Gunshots in a broken palace, planes crashing and burn around us
It’s different than it ever was, darker than it’s ever been
Three shouts and thank God I found you
With the crowd and the fog around you I’ll never let you fall, I’ll never let you fall
Oh Heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Two kids in a crooked alley, school canceled again
And now they won’t learn a single lesson except how to load a weapon
And right here on this old soil we hope for peace and we pray for joy
But like everybody else we’re still fighting with ourselves
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Emerald Sky Lyrics – Brendan James
So we boarded up the windows and we’ve taken down the lights
From the streets I hear the echoes
Yeah we’re leaving town tonight
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution, I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
Now there’s plastic in the valley
There’s still heartache in the ghetto
I need to talk to someone face to face this place
No it doesn’t feel like home
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution
I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald....
I’m gonna find that place that we forgot
Where I don’t care about the money you’ve got
Where I don’t need much cuz it don’t take a lot
We’re gonna go…
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald sky
Look up look down, oh, from the heaven to the ground…
From the streets I hear the echoes
Yeah we’re leaving town tonight
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution, I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
Now there’s plastic in the valley
There’s still heartache in the ghetto
I need to talk to someone face to face this place
No it doesn’t feel like home
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution
I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald....
I’m gonna find that place that we forgot
Where I don’t care about the money you’ve got
Where I don’t need much cuz it don’t take a lot
We’re gonna go…
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald sky
Look up look down, oh, from the heaven to the ground…
Coming Up Lyrics – Brendan James
Out on the roof overlooking the bright lights of Brooklyn
Thinkin’ ‘bout what I could lose and what I should save
I’ll be the first one to say I was caught up in something
Something so bad it was wasting our good life away
And it really broke me down but it’s getting better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Down to the courtyard below I decide to start walking
With the sun on my face and a light in my heart again
I get to your door and I stop just before knocking
I take a deep breath and I say “this is where we begin”
Yeah I’m feeling better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Try as you did, love, the course we were on was unsteady
Love’s hard to do when one of the two falls apart
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Say you can feel it
Thinkin’ ‘bout what I could lose and what I should save
I’ll be the first one to say I was caught up in something
Something so bad it was wasting our good life away
And it really broke me down but it’s getting better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Down to the courtyard below I decide to start walking
With the sun on my face and a light in my heart again
I get to your door and I stop just before knocking
I take a deep breath and I say “this is where we begin”
Yeah I’m feeling better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Try as you did, love, the course we were on was unsteady
Love’s hard to do when one of the two falls apart
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Say you can feel it

All I Can See Lyrics – Brendan James
I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find
I want a car that will crash trough the barrier
To a road no one knows
I want to feel less control on the bend and I
Want to land far from home
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to learn a completely new language,
One I don't understand
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless
With the strength of my hand
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted the years
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands
And cry and feel their hope in my tears
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn, to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
Train rides and pastures colliding
Colors and customs I've never seen
I know I, yes I know I,
I know I will stumble, but,
Time is precious my friend
Those who journey can easily understand
The more they see, the more they'll learn,
The more that they will be
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me
I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
No, I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to know where the stength of a person lies,
In their past or their future
Is it in the way that they hurt
Or they love themselves, or is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that I'm painted in
Body, please let it give
I want to find the creator of all good things,
Ask what it means to live
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find
I want a car that will crash trough the barrier
To a road no one knows
I want to feel less control on the bend and I
Want to land far from home
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to learn a completely new language,
One I don't understand
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless
With the strength of my hand
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted the years
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands
And cry and feel their hope in my tears
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn, to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
Train rides and pastures colliding
Colors and customs I've never seen
I know I, yes I know I,
I know I will stumble, but,
Time is precious my friend
Those who journey can easily understand
The more they see, the more they'll learn,
The more that they will be
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me
I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
No, I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to know where the stength of a person lies,
In their past or their future
Is it in the way that they hurt
Or they love themselves, or is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that I'm painted in
Body, please let it give
I want to find the creator of all good things,
Ask what it means to live
Hero's Song Lyrics – Brendan James
Here I am
In the desert again
A compass and a weapon
A lost American
I started out with a simple plan
And a locket in my hand
But the sun so unforgiving
And the wind so hard to stand
Fall out, fall out
With the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
Carry out what your leader says
For what his leader says
Is that his leader says
This is right for the people
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can't win this war
I promise them this is
Not what I signed up for
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No, I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young soldiers must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
I cannot live
With your doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I will not die this way
In the desert again
A compass and a weapon
A lost American
I started out with a simple plan
And a locket in my hand
But the sun so unforgiving
And the wind so hard to stand
Fall out, fall out
With the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
Carry out what your leader says
For what his leader says
Is that his leader says
This is right for the people
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can't win this war
I promise them this is
Not what I signed up for
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No, I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young soldiers must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
I cannot live
With your doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I will not die this way
