I count the ways you turn me on
I calculate the gravity of your song
Sirens calling
I count the ways you turn me on
Crack of your whip
Takin’ the hit
I’m caught in your grip
And now you thought you’d fool me
I count the days
Since we went wrong
I contemplate a world where you’re gone
Sirens calling
The angle of incidence meets my reflection
Crack of your whip
Takin’ the hit
I’m caught in your grip
And now you thought you’d fool me
Oh…..I can hear the sirens calling
Oh…..Save myself I can’t my darling
Oh…..I can hear the sirens calling
Oh…..Save myself I can’t my darling
The reflection of your eyes
Disappears and mirrors mine
I’m tied to the mast as I pass you by

I had a feeling we were close from the beginning
No longer betting the chance is great
We can't be sorry for steps that we were taking
You found the Hook and you're always leaving
You thought the night was such a seminal connection
You should be nervous the mask is great
At hiding everyone, faceless but revealing
You found the Hook and you're always leaving,
Always leaving
Don't run to wait
Don't shy away
Now that you need it, it’s all right in your face
You know that you want it, so don't shy away
Beg tonight
‘Cause everything, all takes a manner to know your goodbyes
On your knees
Waiting, all your lies
Always leaving

I don’t know how you ever take it
I see the ways he always puts you down
I know I’m not the first to say it
Baby, put your foot down
This back and forth is going to kill you
I know you think you can’t give him up
I don’t now how else I can say it
Baby, put your foot down
Put your foot down
See me tonight
You can stop your running
Open your eyes you should have seen it coming
See me tonight
We can put him down
I never hesitate to tell you just how it is
Even if I think it might upset you
There was always something wrong about the way that you lived
Baby, put your foot down
Put your foot down
See me tonight
You can stop your running
Open your eyes you should have seen it coming
See me tonight
We can put him down
We can put him
I clocked his every movement
His collections all through town
Honey, leave the back door open
At three we take him down
Take him down take him down,
Take him down
See me tonight you can stop your running
Open your eyes you should have seen it coming
See me tonight
We can put him down
We can put him

There’s a house I loved
On a canyon wall
Where Bogart kissed Bacall
Bought by Dead Man’s Curve
I had much to learn,
As the fire began to burn
Does Tasha know?
‘Cause she's asleep below
As the smoke claims the room
And my brother feels he's certain
Hearing laughter down the hall
It’s just a whisper of the flame
They don't know its taken fire
As the monster came alive
I count four, not five
The news teams and the camera crews
Can't hear myself scream as I'm calling for you
And the master tapes of songs you'll never hear
The neighbors, they just stand and stare
The blisters on my hands and on my bleeding feet
As I drag you out through the broken door
They don't know its taken fire
As I stand alone
Forever changed
In the charred remains
All these things are just things
That I'll replace once more
Walking through life's open door
They don't know its taken fire

There is a ghost following me
Staring me down, and it’s eating away at everything
Could not notice, currency weighed too much
Now I’m seeing right through,
Seeing right through
Diamonds will shine
Women will glow
Lines are crossed now, we’re miles away from everything
How we could notice when currency weighed too much?
Now we all want it back,
We all want it back
We leave behind
We leave behind
All the You and I’s
We burn the fields for room to grow
It’s by design
We leave behind
All the desperate You and I’s
We burn the bridges back to you
It’s by design
I’ve seen this before
Skeleton key unlocks every door
Hinged on swollen frames and completely warped floors
The house will fall
Collapsing into itself
Now a fire burns
And it’s turning me on, it’s turning me on
We leave behind
We leave behind
All the You and I’s
We burn the fields for room to grow
It’s by design
We leave behind
All the desperate You and I’s
We burn the bridges back to you
It’s by design

The Way Around Is Through

Breaking it was easy
Now we’ll never know
Just how well it was made
Seeing it completely opening up
What did we think it contained?
The glare off the sign is blinding
And there’s no way around it,
It’s mine
Believe tonight we’ll see the truth
The only way around is through
Believe tonight we’ll see the truth
The only way around is through
Running out of leverage
Tearing off the roof
Shading my eyes from the light
The glare off the sign is blinding
And I’ll have to admit it,
It’s mine
(Yeah) Believe tonight we’ll see the truth
The only way around is through
(Yeah) Believe tonight we’ll see this truth
The only way around is through
(Yeah) Believe tonight we’ll see the truth
The only way around is through
(Yeah) Believe tonight we’ll see this truth
No other way around but through
I hear the footsteps of past generations
I’ve seen the glory of a previous time
I look in the mirror, and see my reflection
There’s no way around it,
It’s Mine
(Yeah) Believe tonight we’ll see the truth
(Yeah) The only way around is through
(Yeah) Believe tonight we’ll see the truth
(Yeah) No other way around but through
Breaking it was easy

You never thought
We’d get this far
That the road was closed
You never thought
Your wounds would heal
Love would pass you by
The scars of life have cut you deep, but time has a way
Say what you want, but this love is real
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
The ebb of life can take so long
But the tide has turned
Say what you want, but this love is real
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it

All I wanted and have hoped to see
Was two days away
Of all the things you ever took from me,
It’s your eyes
This looming, numbing feeling covers me
It’s your eyes
It seems so worthless now for me to say
But I fear it’s too late for me
Is it too late?
You had your life in line
When everything was fine
You had us all on fire
You had the strength to hold on
If I could go back and not hesitate
Would you wait for me?
Would you wait for me?
You had your life in line
When everything was fine
Now it’s just not the same
Only yourself to blame
You had us all on fire
And had the strength to hold on
‘Cause all I wanted and had hoped to see… is it too late?

We opened the door
And as real as it seems
Are we really, really here?
If we are the eyes
We might as well stayed closed
When were only seeing
The black and the white
Blood in the sky
Let’s lift each other why we’re still alive
Now, We do this right
Now, Believe this right
Now, We start livin’ our lives,
Now
We planted our seeds
Stacked our steel to the sky
Made Ten Thousand Years of mistakes
Relying on gold
Our faith is all we had
And when I touch you
Here is in this room
The feeling consumes
You rescue me, and I’ll rescue you
Now, We do this right
Now, Believe this right
Now, We start livin’ our lives
Now, It ends tonight
Now, We’ll make this right
Now, While we’re still alive
We won’t lose this feeling that’s burning inside,
Now…
I won’t leave you
I won’t leave you
Here is in this room
The feeling consumes
You rescue me, and I’ll rescue you
Now, We do this right
Now, Believe this right
Now, We start livin’ our lives
Now, It ends tonight
Now, We’ll make this right
Now, While we’re still alive
We won’t lose this feeling that’s burning inside,
Now! Now! Now!
We’ve cleared the sky,
No longer blind,
We don’t need a reason,
We don’t need a number,
We’re already there,
We’re already there,
This is where we’ll keep it burning inside,
Now! Now! Now!
Now! It ends tonight
Now! We’ll make this right
Now! We start livin’ our lives,
Now

He Could Teach Devil Tricks

Yeah you,
You really had to start a fire
You really tried to hide the liar
You really had to break it up
Why would you break it up now?
All this time, I can hear you sayin’
I, never really saw it coming
I, never really saw it coming
I, never really saw it coming
You close your eyes again
Yeah you,
You were the mystic and the healing force
All the stars follow in their course
And yet, it tears and pulls apart
The fabric of the universe
I can hear you say,
I, never really saw it coming
I, never really saw it coming
I, never really saw it coming
Coming, Coming, Coming, Yeah!
Just close your eyes again!

I used to think that I really knew
What beautiful was
Believed it was clearly set there in stone
Till you came around
Never knowing what peace I could find
Love’s beautiful mind
Had to go out, couldn’t stay home
Till you came around
I learned you don’t have to prove, anything
‘Cause you’ve changed the rules
As mysteries comes now I understand
Life’s beautiful plan
The love that I feel is so terribly real
When you come around
I learned you don’t have to prove, anything
Or live for anyone else
‘Cause you’ve changed the rules
I used to think that I really knew
Till you came around
