Anthem 04:29
Miles and miles of highway lines the motion keeps me going rolling over fields too full of all your dreams those secret things the ones you only show to me Leave me here to rest upon this old mountain of stone still behind closed eyes I try to see your face form your shape trace the lines and count the days Till I’m back on the move back on the run back on the road with my back to the sun you will find me Till I’m back on the move back on the run back on the road with my back to the sun you will find me, singing Compass guide the way for me to find the dreams in all the seeds the ones you only grow for me When I’m back on the move back on the run back on the road with my back to the sun you will find me, singing
2.
Take me back to Colorado take me back where I belong what’s there waiting we may never know back in Colorado Remember when I drove across the country remember how you met me in the road the sun had set your arms were crossed I knew at once that all was lost but you pulled me back to Colorado Take me back over the Rockies take me back where I belong what’s there waiting we may never know back in Colorado Remember how I stood there at the front door and how the whole apartment held your smell we said goodnight you closed your eyes I reached out to turn off the light and you left me back in Colorado We said goodnight and closed our eyes knowing that this wasn’t right and you left me Take me back to Colorado take me back where I belong what’s there waiting we may never know back in Colorado

Oh, of lakes and oceans oh, of lakes and oceans oh, the miles we’ll go to lay, lay your head in motion Oh, of lakes and oceans

Michigan 04:33
Overgrown dirt roads in Michigan lead me to my brother’s house the lights are on for me Turn the corner stumble to his door sitting by the fire he tells me everything he once admired he’s jaded now but that’s all right 'Cause I’m at home here alone in Michigan won’t you come find me The water’s warm and it pulls me in again won’t you come find me and it’s all so bittersweet Walk the sandy dunes along the shore wade in past our ankles, yeah we’re always back for more Oh, great lake what a lonely life you lead you wash away these troubles and it brings me to my knees 'Cause I’m at home here alone in Michigan won’t you come find me The water’s warm and it pulls me in again won’t you come find me and it’s all so bittersweet It’s all so bittersweet and it brings me to my knees
5.
Bright Side 04:04
Oh, look on the bright side isn’t that the line you used on me please, don’t take it the wrong way but those words don’t mean anything Oh, can we make it all right you always hold me when you say hey, look on the bright side I always look the other way Here we are, another night nothing’s gonna change my mind don’t leave me waiting even if we make it through still it all comes down to you Don’t leave me waiting can’t you see I’m already over you there’s nothing left for me to do Oh, make up your own mind don’t want to be the one you miss hey, find me in the morning it doesn’t have to feel like this Here we are, another night nothing’s gonna change my mind Don’t leave me waiting can’t you see I’m already over you There’s nothing left for me to do don’t walk away now nothing left for me to do please don’t make me let you go nothing left for me to do don’t walk away now Don’t leave me waiting can’t you see I’m already over you don’t you know I’ll never get over you don’t leave me waiting can’t you see I’m already over you

Play a Game 03:34
Let’s play a game forget everything you thought you knew start over again oh, things change yeah they’ve changed Oh, let’s play a game forget everything you thought you knew start over again oh, things change yeah they’ve changed I found you sitting lonely at the station I only wonder what you were waiting for the taste of you is strange here on my tongue but the minute it’s gone I’m back for more Oh, let’s play a game forget everything you thought you knew start over again oh, things change yeah they've changed Give me a reason to stick around here give me something I can touch you’ve been walking around in your bare feet again you’ve got a piece of my heart it’s all too much Oh, let’s play a game forget everything you thought you knew start over again You’ve got a piece of my heart it’s all too much it’s all too much Let’s play a game forget everything you thought you knew start over again start over again

Here’s to another day try to stay awake and remember why Why you’re out of bed why you’re up at all why you keep on trying Leave it to my hands to my hands to shake when she’s standing outside when she says hello Leave it to my voice to my voice to crack when I try and say it back but my knees let go and I know I’m letting go Wake me, it feels like I’m dreaming and when my feet hit the ground, oh then wake me all over again in the strands of her hair I’m tangled Here’s to another day no, don’t be afraid take a step outside Walk her to the porch leave her at the door there’s still so much more but you’re out of time and I know there’s never time Wake me, it feels like I’m dreaming and when my feet hit the ground, oh then wake me all over again in the strands of her hair I’m tangled up I’m tangled up tangled up won’t somebody wake me up Tangled up I’m tangled up tangled up won’t somebody wake me up Wake me up Wake me, it feels like I’m dreaming and when my feet hit the ground, oh then wake me all over again in the strands of her hair I’m tangled Won’t somebody wake me up tangled up I’m tangled up tangled up won’t somebody wake me up Wake me up

Five a.m., we’ll rise and feed the fire let the owls sing us back to sleep again come morning they will find us laying in the yard losing ourselves again The embers burn away into the afternoon here we are, full grown and holding on come evening they will find us falling with the stars losing ourselves again It’s a long day and a late night and it won’t stop Start the car it’s time to move along gather all the things that tend to spread while staying still moments come in waves now fade away from view losing ourselves again It’s a long day and a late night and it won’t stop Come morning they will find us laying in the yard come evening we’ll be lost again falling with the stars pack your things it’s time for us to move along losing ourselves again It’s a long day and a late night and it won’t stop Long day late night won’t stop

Out West 03:20
When they come tell them I’m already gone this road’s been calling for so long I’m on my way When we set out west like the foolish and the brave before with our hands outstretched not knowing what they’re searching for Well, these bones are being drawn through the cold and old forgotten hills and the desert’s beckoning us still Sunrise chases us across the plains Out West lay the map across the ground out West better off lost than found out West oh, where the mountains carry on the sound When we reached the top and we gave the view a second chance we saw the road was long and carved from some unknown romance we could feel it all slip through our hands Sunrise chases us across the plains When they come tell them I’m already gone this road’s been calling for so long I’m on my way Out West lay the map across the ground out West better off lost than found out West oh, where the mountains carry on the sound
11.
Carry You 04:31
Left an empty tin can in Tacoma and another bag of clothes in Santa Fe we’ve been shedding skin like snakes in summertime wiggle free and watch them fall away Well, my whole book collection’s up in Denver and my backup guitar’s in Bellevue there’s pieces of us all across the country scattered by the winds that blow on through We could spend a lifetime wandering we could spend a lifetime chasing something true if you fall down you know I’ll carry you On the coast in Northern California we wrote another story in the sand and when the tide rolled in and washed the beaches clean all of it was carried out to sea there was nothing left but you and me We could spend a lifetime wandering we could spend a lifetime chasing something true if you fall down you know I’ll carry you
