2. Leaving It Behind
Tonight, let go!
Let go of everything inside.
Because I said so,
we’ll make everything inside alright.
Because I am leaving it behind,
stop feeling dead inside tonight.
Because I’m leaving it behind,
stop feeling satisfied inside.
The lies, they know!
They know every little,
thing inside.
But I said no!
I’ll make everything,
inside alright.
Because I am leaving it behind,
stop feeling dead inside tonight.
Because I’m leaving it behind,
stop feeling satisfied inside.
Tonight, let go!
Let go of everything inside.
Because I said so,
we’ll make everything inside alright.
Because I am leaving it behind,
stop feeling dead inside tonight.
Because I’m leaving it behind,
stop feeling satisfied inside.
3. Endless Ways
Hold on, hold on for dear life.
And run, and run all night.
For you are loved in endless ways.
Stay with me,
please believe.
I can be your memory!
My world will never be the same,
and my heart is never going to regret.
For you are loved in endless ways,
are loved in endless ways.
Hold on, hold on for dear life.
And run, and run all night.
For you are loved in endless ways,
are loved in endless ways.
There’s no way of knowing,
what could be waiting.
There’s no way of knowing,
the dream I’m creating.
There’s no way of knowing,
The dream I’m creating...
4. The Optimist
Drive at night,
in the slow lane.
Rabbit in the headlights,
run away, run away.
The great escape,
in the slow lane.
Before it's too late,
to run away, run away.
The life we left behind,
sleeping all our lives.
The life we left behind,
dreaming all our life.
We ride on hearts,
design our world.
Let go of you!
and I Run for our lives,
don’t look behind!

How did I get here?
I don't belong here...
7. Ghosts
You, saw you!
Yes you, saw you.
Trick of the light,
stop for the night.
Tired and confused!
Saw you, saw you!
Slow down,
slow down.
Leave,
slow down.
Trick of the light,
stop for the night.
Tired and confused,
reminded of you.
Trick of the light,
stop for the night.
Tired and confused!
Saw you...
8. Can't Let Go
On and on...
I can't let go,
on and on.
I can't let go!
If you are not there,
I'm coming down,
this road again.
If you I love,
then where are you?
I'm coming down,
down again.
Because I can't let go,
on and on.
I can't let go,
on and on.
If you are not there,
I'm coming down,
this road again.
If you I love,
then where are you?
I'm coming down,
down again.
I'm coming down,
down again.
If you I love,
then where are you?
There's something wrong,
wrong again.
I can't let go,
on and on.
I just can't let go,
on and on.
If you are not there,
I'm coming down,
this road again.
If you I love,
then where are you?
I'm coming down,
down again.
If you I love,
then where are you?
I'm coming down,
this road again.
9. Close Your Eyes
Close your eyes,
close your eyes.
Sleep tonight,
sleep tonight.
And dream on,
just dream on,
for the dark roads,
for the dark roads.
For you and I!
Yes, you and I.
Which way to go,
which way to go?
All that you,
need is inside,
and all that you,
need is inside.
And what do you see,
when you turn on the lights?
It's okay, it's okay.
It's just a dream,
go back to sleep.
10. Wildfires
Wildfires...
The iron sky,
the iron sky.
Who am I?
Who am I?
The iron sky,
the iron sky.
Who am I?
Who am I?
Wildfires...
The iron sky,
the iron sky.
Who am I?
Who am I?
The iron sky,
the iron sky.
Who am I?
Who am I?
It's too late!
It's too late!
It's too late!
Too late...
11. Back to the Start
They don't understand...
And all I need is you,
just all I need is you.
They don't understand,
because they don't talk for me.
There ain't no master plan,
I came in to make peace.
The more we’re made to suffer,
the more we’re made to care.
And all the time in the world,
gonna wish you 'til it hurts.
Because they don't understand
And all I need is you,
but you don't know it's true.
And all I need is you,
you don't know it's true.
It's impossible,
unbelievable.
Do you see it now?
Do you see it now?
And our lives coming,
back to the start.
Back to the start...
