This world is changing
before your blue eyes is the blue of the skies you knew
what can you do
to stop what is coming in a world that knows nothing
It’s true,
It’s always been you
Your body is aging
Before your wide eyes are the symbols of time or two
What can you do
To stop what is coming in a world that is running
A marathon
Oh, oh
Marathon
Everybody’s trying to run in this
Marathon
Might as well be laughing in this
Marathon
Nobody gets to win in this
Marathon
Might as well be dancing in this
Marathon
Your friends are fading
You thought that you knew what to say and to do, but they’re gone
What went wrong?
Did somebody stop them when they realized that nothing was?
Did they leave in love?
Your head is aching
I suppose if you run then I will have to come with you
What else can I choose?
Is everyone racing? Do we know what we’re chasing in this marathon?
Just play along...

It’s the ghost in your head
Affecting your mind
Yeah, it’s back from the dead
Killing your time
Did you think it was gone?
Maybe buried in time?
Well, you waited too long
To find…
Anyone could write it
Everybody’s got a song
Depends on how you fight it
There’s no right and no wrong
Are you thinking of her again?
And the last thing she said?
This ghost in your head won't
let it end
Are you okay with a friend?
Or will that just not do?
This ghost in your head wants
Love like you
Anyone could write it
Everybody’s got a song
It depends on how you fight it
There’s no right and no wrong
I decided I should write it
I know I’ve got a song
It’s the only way to fight it
You gotta feel strong
So get out of your mind x oo
Did you say what you mean?
Or just swallow your pride?
Your heart beats twice as fast
Open wide
It’s this ghost in your thoughts
it's running old lines
You’ve already acted this out
so gittoutta your mind
Everybody’s writing
I know we’ve got a song
It’s the only way to fight it
You gotta feel strong

Time Turns Back

We don't really know what we've been told
the stories came of getting old
but we've always known what's best
yes, the young have always had it
that an eternal sort of magic
keeps disaster balanced while a youthful sort of madness
turns time back
but it's time that laughs
oh, it's time that laughs
oh, it's time that laughs
oh, it's time that laughs
you didn't want to change things
but now you've got no heartstrings
you didn't want the chainlinks
so you kept on dancing
you didn't want to change things
but you should've kept those heartstrings
because now you've got no heartstrings
I've seen you fall down often falling hardest at the bottom
but no, I'm no doctor, but it's only getting harder to know the facts
science isn't spirit, but if you'd known
your carrots from carotids or how human hearts jumpstarted
to turn time back
it's time that passed
oh, it's time that passed
oh, it's time that passed
oh, it's time that passed
oh, it's time that passed
oh, it's time that passed

This Song is Yours

Is this goodbye, Christina? I don’t feel like I’m left behind.
I just want to hear you sing your lullaby to the passersby.
I know you’ve spent some time - as have I - to brave the waves and dive with a heart opened wide.
I hear your voice. It sounds like mine
Trust in it my dear.
Your song is yours to hear.
But if I may, I’ll make us one to share.
We knew we spent some time with tears when we noticed all the signs that took us here.
So we danced amidst the rain we came to celebrate, and now we’re far away, but nearly there again.
You called me in before to open up this door.
I’ll trust in it my dear.
This song is for your ears.
And I’ll say, I hope it dries your tears.
So trust your voice my dear.
This song is for our fear.
And if I may, I’ll sing it with you near.
