01-Dirty Paws

Jumping up and down the floor
My head is an animal
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an ok guy,
Thay had a pet dragonfly.
The dragonfly it ran away
But it came back with a story to say.

Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slope.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.

And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.


02-King and Lionheart

Taking over this town, they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we wont' run.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.

And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.

Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.

A lionheart.

His crown lid up the way as we moved slowly
Passed the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind.
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same.

Howling ghost they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand cause
You're my king and I'm your lionheart.

A lionheart.


03-Mountain Sound

Of Monsters And Men - Mountain Sound

Heaven calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we traveled on
with nothing but a shadow
We fled, far away

Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
(Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran

Some had scars and some had scratches
It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around
I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest

Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
(Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-OH
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down
Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
(Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran

Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran
(Deep into the mountain sound)
Hold your horses now
(Sleep until the sun goes down)
Through the woods we ran

La la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh-OH
La la la, we sleep until the sun goes down
La la la, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
La la la, we sleep until the sun goes


04 Slow and Steady


The lights go out, I am all alone
All the trees outside are buried in the snow
I spend my night dancing with my own shadow
And it holds me and it never lets me go

I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know

My dear old friend, take me for a spin
Two wolves in the dark, running in the wind
I'm letting go, but I've never felt better
Passing by all the monsters in my head

I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know

And I'm never ready
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That time won't let me
Show what I want to show

I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know

And I'm never ready
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That time won't let me
Show what I want to show


05-From Finner

We came here on his back
And we caught your eye.
The salty ocean wind
Made the seagulls cry.
The rocking of his house
Had me holding on
But I knew that I was safe
From there on out.

The waves that hit his face
Marked the past
And the farrows on his skin,
Oh how time goes fast.
And we are far from home but we're so happy.
Far from home, all alone but were so happy.

After every sunny day
Came a stormy night,
That's when Finner would say
"keep your heads held hight".
And we are far from home but we're so happy.
Far from home, all alone but we're so happy.


06-Little Talks

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
I tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, buried with our past
You used to play outside when you were young,
Full of life and full of love

Some days I feel like I am wrong and I am right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The streets of Solomon sang
Hey!

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

Go go go away
I wish you'd disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn torn torn apart, there's nothing we can do
Just let me go, me against you
Now wait wait wait for me
Please hang around
I see you when I fall asleep

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The streets of Solomon sang
Hey!

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The streets of Solomon sang
Hey!

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore

07-Six Weeks

Slow, slow me down,
Her blood, on my bones.
Let go, lay to rest.

We fall, we fall, we fall,
We fall to the ground.

Sleep, sleep all night
While the young, they wait alone.
Get up, shake the rust.
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl,
We crawl on the ground.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

A wolf, wolf and I,
We share the same cold meal.
I float on, float on down .
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

Coming back, I'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.




08-Love Love Love

Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away
And maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad... bad person
Well, baby I know

So I think it's best
We both forget
Before we dwell on it

The way you held me so tight
All through the night
Til it was near morning

'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When your know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love

And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
Those bright blue eyes
Can't only meet mine across the room
Filled with people that are less important than you

'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When your know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
[x2]


09-Your Bones

In the spring we made a boat
out of feathers, out of bones.
We set fire to our homes,
walking barefoot in the snow.
Distant rhythm of the drum
as we drifted towards the storm.
Baby lion lost his teeth,
now they're swimming in the sea.
Troubled spirits on my chest
where they laid to rest.
The birds all left my tall friend

as your body hit the sand.
Million stars up in the sky
formed a tigers eye
that looked down on my face,
out of time and out of place.

So hold on,
hold on to what we are,
hold on to your heart.

Awaken by the sound
of a screaming owl.
Chasing leafs in the wind,
going where we've never been.

Said goodbye to you my friend,
as the fire spread.
All that's left are your bonesthat will soon sink like stones

So hold on,
hold on to what we are,
hold on to your heart.


10-Sloom

The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
The sea it wrapped its arms around you

The calm on my cheek feels like the fall grass
and I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me

So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last

And beat us to take this bludge to forgive us for our pasts
be a better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

They cast the silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle,
The streetlights hang in their house

The books that I keep by my bags are full of the stories
That I drew up on a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

I met a man today and he smiled back at me
there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet.


11 - Lakehouse


Oh, I miss the comfort of this house.
Where we are, where we are.
Where we are, where we are.
The floor under our feet whispers out,
"come on in, come on in, where it all begins."

Can you chase this fire away
Can you chase this fire away

We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes,
But she ran down, she ran down.
She ran down to the house.
A fox that gains our trust
but then breaks it as he walks
Away from us, away from us.

Can you chase this fire away
Can you chase this fire away

In the fall we sleep all day.
In the fall we sleep all day.

Where we are, Where we are.
We sleep all day.
Where we are, Where we are.
We sleep all day.
Where we are, Where we are.
We sleep all day.
Where we are, Where we are.
We sleep all day.
Where we are, Where we are.
We sleep all day.

Can you chase this fire away
Can you chase this fire away

In the fall we sleep all day.
In the fall we sleep all day.




12-Yellow Light

I'm looking for a place to start
but everything feels so different now.
Just grab a hold of my hand,
I will lead you through this wonderland.
Water up to my knees
but sharks are swimming in the sea.
Just follow my yellow light
and ignore all those big warning signs.

Somewhere deep in the dark
a howling beast hears us talk.
I dare you to close your eyes
and see all the colors in disguise.
Running into the night,
the earth is shaking and I see a light.
The light is blinding my eyes
as the soft walls eat us alive.




13-Numb Bears

Fishing for a friend,
Can't remember when it was dark
Or the sun coming up.
Far across the ocean lone,
While numb bears at home
Said I could never get there,
Never get there.

Breaking little twigs with my feet
And underneath
Is a road that's so steep.
Far across the ocean alone
While numb bears at home
Said I could never get there
But I'm already there.
