Lyrics - Ways of the World

1. Falling Faster
So wont the leaders of our free world collide
And change what’s stirring stronger
We can’t stay this way much longer
We’ve had a tendency to call on our own
And try to make them conquer
Something we may never shelter from

So when is it enough to make our final plea
Oh in the way of the world now
What do we say, what do we say
What do we say, what do we say

So all that I’m living for
They’ve called me a damn shame
Being so undependable to their way
I’ve been here before the change
Oh such a fearful way
Of trying to justify my pain

So when is it enough to make our final plea
Oh in the way of the world now
What do we say, what do we say
What do we say, what do we say
What do we say, what do we say
What do we say, what do we say

2. In the Bag
I’m finding all the days
That I can’t stand alone
It’s not where I belong
The direction of my ways
Won’t reflect me anyways
It’s just too much to feel

When I’m sitting here wasting tomorrow
(Sitting here wasting away)
And all I can do is stay the same
Well I’m sitting here wasting the days now
(Sitting here wasting away)
And all I can do change my reasons why

I’m on the outside looking in
Its like the days wont fall away from me
And all I’ve done to stay the same
I’m on the outside looking in
I’ve changed the way I’ve been
But still can’t find a way to stay with you

So here I am again
To find a better way
To live the life I need
But recalling all the while
A way to find some love
And let my heart fall away

But I’m sitting here wasting tomorrow
And all I can do is stay the same
Well I’m sitting here wasting the days now
And all I can do change my reasons why

3. Indiscretion
So now we take away our indiscretion
Revolving both our doors to face the fire
Never fighting hard for who we were
To stand here now we seem so sure

This damn life of mine
Has left me wounded but I’m fine
Once I left those days behind
I couldn’t seem to recognize my soul

So many times we left our bar below
Our patience and my tainted soul
Now we’re leaving all of our pasts behind
Gotta change the world and cross some lines

This damn life of mine
Has left me wounded but I’m fine
Once I left those days behind
I couldn’t seem to recognize my soul

This damn life of mine
Has left me wounded but I’m fine
Once I left those days behind
I couldn’t seem to recognize my soul

4. Loving You
Well my heart is challenging my words today
Been stripped from my lips when I couldn’t speak
And all of our worlds wont correct me now
Falling faster into a world apart
I’ve been a man known for loving you
Far from the ways where we used to be
All of the things that we didn’t see
Have left me here all alone with you

Our love is enough to make us follow through and destroy games
My hearts playing the same game with my intentions now
How did I end up stuck between a piece of mind and you
Feels like the whole damn thing is just a mysterious game

I’ve been a man known for loving you
Far from the ways where we used to be
All of the things that we didn’t see
Have left me here all alone with you

I’ve been a man known for loving you
Far from the ways where we used to be
All of the things that we didn’t see
Have left me here all alone with you

5. Lit Up
by Chris Shaw with additional words by Andy Shaw
I don’t wanna be here
And neither do you
So why don’t we get it all over with
And burn this place to the ground
It’s clear that it’s not working out
And everyone here is a mess
We’re kicking and screaming and no one gives a damn
So let’s take this into our own hands

Turn all the lights down
They don’t need to see
The scenes gonna be lit up in a second
Nobody’s gonna find us

I don’t wanna find my way with you
Cuz you see so many things are changing now
And it’s not up to you
But the worlds not really like this anymore
My feet aren’t chained to the floor
Gonna make my own rules and change the world
Cuz I don’t wanna be here

Turn all the lights down
They don’t need to see
The scenes gonna be lit up in a second
Nobody’s gonna find us

6. Wise Man
The wise man recalling all his days
When the world was in his hands not in his mind
And all that surrounds him now is lost
From living full of fear not free of pain

I once dreamed I was another man before
Not quite true from who I am now
This distance fills me all the same
With fears of letting all my peers share this pain

So when I get older some how just let my mind recall the days
When all those good people I loved were all around
So when I get older some how just let my time awake my mind
To all those good people I loved all around

So the wise man recalling all those days
Remembers what it was to stay the same
And all that he’s had all that he’s been is gone
He won’t ever recall what it was to believe in love

I once dreamed I was another man before
Not quite true from who I am now
This distance fills me all the same
With fears of letting all my peers share this pain

So when I get older some how just let my mind recall the days
When all those good people I loved were all around
So when I get older some how just let my time awake my mind
To all those good people I loved all around

7. Nothing to Fight For
Oh what I saw that day
Was sadder than the feelings that I’ve known for years
All of my world has changed
Now it’s not about the children or their memory

What a distraction now
Its let me down
But the world can’t let us fall that way
Need to believe in better days

So here we are
We’ve got nothing to fight for
And nothing to die for again
So here we are
We’ve got nothing to fight for
And nothing to die for again

But I’ve seen the look in their eyes
Those who believe
And those left with lies
Such a thin line of love
And leaving some to die

But I’m changing my world now
It’s not hard you just gotta know how
We’ll start right here
And try to love again try to love again try to love again

So here we are
We’ve got nothing to fight for
And nothing to die for again
So here we are
We’ve got nothing to fight for
And nothing to die for again

I’ve seen so many problems in their eyes
Like no ears can understand their alibis
If we’re all living to change the truth
Gotta know who needs to change first

So here we are
We’ve got nothing to fight for
And nothing to die for again
So here we are

8. Ways of the World
Oh why don’t we change the ways of the world
All inside my mind I’ve spent
So many ways to wake my weary days
I’ve turned myself into what I see
All around the world reflect into me

So what is my heart set out to be
It’s gonna be a few more years before I see
And what can my world turn out in me
It’s just taking some time to break from this history

Oh why don’t we change the ways of the world
All inside our hearts we feel
So many ways to break my history
I’ve turned all my world into what I love
All around my heart reflects out of me

So what is my heart set out to be
It’s gonna be a few more years before I see
And what can my world turn out in me
It’s just taking some time to break from this history

9. Buried by Time
I’m buried by time
Those words are alive
But not understood
I’ve readied my self
For days with out fear
Wont leave it alone

But all I see right now
Is who I am
It’s just for me to say now
All I’ve done to you
Is such a shame
I’ve tried to take it away

I’ve found my desire
Leaving my love
Under lost time
And it’s so hard to see
Why this can be all
That I am

But all I see right now
Is who I am
It’s just for me to say now
All I’ve done to you
Is such a shame
I’ve tried to take it away

10. Something I Cannot See
There’s something I cannot see today
That all of my actions wont run away
Burden of proof isn’t in my name
When I’m living insanely inside the game

And all of the world will fall into this place
Of fighting their fears into a land of pain
But I’ve learned how to feel and not confuse
What it is to be me and what it is to be used

Well I never wanted to fall in love
(I never wanted to)
I never wished to feel so innocent for you
(Never wished to feel)
If I ever knew that you cared so much
(So many chanced for you)
Why couldn’t you trust me love you that way again
(Why couldn’t you feel)

So wont you just stop this game
And get it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away like the days that call me on
And getting it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away into those years we never knew
And getting it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away like the time we never had
And getting it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away into those days that we both loved

So here we are living our lives all alone
Where we know who we are but not where we’ve been
And all of the world cant correct me now
Cuz I cant understand my pain

Well I never wanted to fall in love
(I never wanted to)
I never wished to feel so innocent for you
(Never wished to feel)
If I ever knew that you cared so much
(So many chanced for you)
Why couldn’t you trust me love you that way again
(Why couldn’t you feel)

So wont you just stop this game
And get it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away like the days that call me on
And getting it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away into those years we never knew
And getting it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away like the time we never had
And getting it right for the first time
Getting it right for the first time
And fall away into those days that we both loved
