FLYING COLORS LYRICS

1. Blue Ocean

In a momentary place
It was written on the wall
But it never really came to us at all
It's an elementary thing
The answer to the call
That will lead us to
The great unending hall

With a wheel of emotion
That is always turning
Landing where it may
As the world moves forward
To a new beginning
Still I feel this way

Take me...
Out where the river meets the sea
To the city made of glass
Where our emptiness is gone at last

Take me...
To a world beyond our space and time
Under the crystal water sky
Where we never have to say goodbye

When life never seems to fit
And everything you do seems wrong
And the good don't ever last for very long
Call it miracle or fate
Either one has long since gone
But there's just enough to keep you hangin' on

With your world in commotion
And your senses telling
There is so much more
And with every emotion
Your timeline's screamin'
Running through the door

Take me...
Out where the river meets the sea
To the city made of glass
Where our emptiness is gone at last

Take me...
To a world beyond our space and time
Under the crystal water sky
Where we never have to say goodbye

Blue ocean, take away my memory
Blue ocean, make it the way it's gonna be

2. Shoulda Coulda Woulda

Hangin' on a flag pole
Lookin' like a freak show
Everyone of us has done it

Jumpin' into sinkin' sand
Tryin' to forget it
Blamin' someone else
"They made me do it"

Shedding every ounce of faith
Sucking every cell away
Caving into every impulse

Stuck inside this lonely face
Hiding every scar (and) stain
Busted in a Tarantino movie

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, shut up
I wished I kept my mouth shut
'Cause I can't change anything I did
Every secret that I hide
Keeps me locked up deep inside

Starin' at the future
Draggin' every footstep
Maybe there's another way out
Tell me there's another place
Tell me there's another day
Tell me there's another way out

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, shut up
I wished I kept my mouth shut
'Cause I can't change anything I did
Every secret that I hide
Keeps me locked up deep inside

Wanna reach back...

I'll start in the center
I'll work in a mirror
Want somethin' for lust
I'll run from the lust
I'll wake in the mornin'
Walk in the sunlight
Never again, no regrets
Nothin' to make me say I...

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, shut up
I wished I kept my mouth shut
'Cause I can't change anything I did
Every secret that I hide
Keeps me locked up deep inside

3. Kayla

Lost in a sea of pain
Feel like a hole in the wall
You need a change of pace
So let's forget who we are

Look through a foggy lens
As the lines break down
And the never-end
Can begin, right now

All the dark will disappear
Kayla, Kayla
Silent dreams will fill the air
Kayla, Kayla

You are the beauty of
A place long gone
When you touch my hand
And we forget who we are

All the dark will disappear
Kayla, Kayla
Silent dreams will fill the air
Kayla, Kayla

Love ignites when we are here
Kayla, Kayla
Never wake, and never fear
Kayla, Kayla

Oh, come to a place where you want to stay
(The world is blind)
Oh, darkness will leave you along the way
(Darkness will leave you for all time)
Oh, come to this place and let's not go back
(Let's stay for all time)
Oh, swirlin' a world where there is no lack (There is no lack)

All the dark will disappear
Kayla, Kayla
Silent dreams will fill the air
Kayla, Kayla

Love ignites when we're here
Kayla, Kayla
Never waken, and never fear
Kayla, Kayla

4. The Storm

There was a time
When my life was easy
Stretched out in the sun
Everything was clover
The world was off my shoulders for awhile

But then the sky turned a bomb fire shade
And hit me like a gun
It passed with flying colors
There's no flying over...

The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
It will give as it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

Sometimes we get swept away
We're forced to take the change
The desert gives you comfort
You can't stay here all your wounded life

Underneath as the tempest rage
Your secrets come undone
When mountains need movin'
Let me help you through it

The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
Comes as fast as it fades
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

All your secrets come undone
Every web you've ever spun
All your secrets come undone
Let 'em go
Let it come...

The storm...
We will dance as it breaks
The storm...
Gives you more than it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Stare chaos in the face
We need only to embrace

Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

5. Forever In A Daze

Watch you walk into the room so smooth
And it cuts me like a diamond
A spiritual reaction ensues
And you're tryin' hard to fight it

Your eyes are echoing my name
Calling me to your castle
And we begin to magnetize
Drawing ever closer

I'm your fire
I'm your fortress
You turn me into a thousand horses
You're my heartbeat
My beautiful dream
You don't even know my name and you got me
Loving you forever in a daze

Enveloped in liquid air
You're holding hostage every stare
Sealing up every escape
For your love, I will give my life
To the venomous viper
I'll turn your soiled dress to white
And get you ready for the morning

I'm your fire
I'm your fortress
You turn me into a thousand horses
You're my heartbeat
My beautiful dream
You don't even know my name and you got me
Loving you forever in a daze

Thank you for the gift
Of giving me a lift
Like a space cartoon
You take me to the moon
Give me just one day
And I will free your mind
Take your lined up faith
And throw it outta time

I'm your fire
I'm your fortress
You turn me into a thousand horses
You're my heartbeat
My beautiful dream
You don't even know my name and you got me

You don't even know my name and you got me
Loving you forever in a daze

6. Love Is What I'm Waiting For

Don't want to fight about the money we spent
About the things that we did
About you leaving all the lights on

Don't want to talk about the singer again
And all notes that he missed
'Cause he always sings the wrong ones

And I'm sleeping in a similar state
But for this I swore I'd wake

Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll start a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for

And everyone cheers for the winners that win
And every giver who gives
While all the losers sing the fight song

And everyone sits on the edge of their seat
While the contenders compete
And I'm still waiting for the right one

Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll start a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for

There'll come a time
A drop of rain that always knew
It would fall into the sea of blue
And cause the sun to shine
Around the bend with lightnin' eyes
They will light your heart on fire again

Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then I'll start a war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for

Hey, give it out, give it up, get it in
Hey, give it out, give it up, get it in

Love is what I'm waiting for
Come and then we'll end the war
Love will change what you're waiting for
Love is what I'm waiting for

7. Everything Changes

So you found a place you can crawl
I know it's never easy
To live inside a broken heart
Live inside a broken heart

Food just doesn't taste quite the same
Living in a basement
You're fast asleep and never found
Like you never were around

Weighed down traveler
Now you've got nothin' to lose,
Wade out in the water
Don't leave 'til everything changes you

Somewhere on the journey
You lost the will to keep on going
Well everybody falls apart
Everybody falls apart

Sometimes we must risk all we have
To get to our Eden
Sometimes we're drowning in the blue
Takes everything to make it through

Weighed down traveler
Now you've got nothin' to lose,
Wade out in the water
Don't leave 'til everything changes

The wind blows the rain through the grass
As the time slows like an old friend
Listless you let go your grasp
And there's rainbows as the road ends
Yet again

Weighed down traveler
Now you've got nothin' to lose
Wait awhile stay awhile
Majesty's found in this place
Now you've got nothin' to lose
Wade out in the water
Don't leave 'til everything changes you

8. Better Than Walking Away

You learned to leave from your father
But you blamed yourself when he walked off
You hold your child like the last one
But then you find yourself trying to stay gone

Rage is a game for the lonely
Love is the mercy we need

It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
Sometimes it's harder to stay
Than walkin' away from it all

Holding hands at the table
A kiss goodnight with the light on
Sunrise, words and a coffee
You miss it all just to feel free

Fear is a thief to the family
Brave is the one on his knees

It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
Love is the price that we pay
Walkin' away from it all

Rage is a game for the lonely
War is a front for our greed
Love makes a way but it only
Heals when we stay while we bleed

It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
So many reasons to stay
So walk in and wait for it all

9. All Falls Down

Red knights coming to Rome
Blood in the streets
Kingdoms die overthrown
Lay down your lives or be slaves to a fool
When it all falls down

Freedom stolen in sight
Do you love destruction or do you want life?
He who is faithful from ashes will rise
When it all falls down

Wake up, chosen ones
Stand up, fight for love
Where lies your treasure
So shall you become
When it all falls down

Wake up, chosen ones
Stand up, fight for love
Where lies your treasure
So shall you become
When it all falls down

Wake up, chosen ones
Stand up, fight for love
Where lies your treasure
So shall you become
When it all falls down

10. Fool In My Heart

There's a fool in my heart
Who denies what he sees
Who thinks that one day he will stand, though he's cut to his knees
Though he's lost and alone
He always believes
That one day his love will return and he'll find what he needs

Will you be alone
In the place you call home?
Locked away
I will stay with my memories
Will you be alright
In the dark of the night?
I'll be cool
'Cause this fool keeps me company

There's a fool in my heart
That will never let go
But there is still something that I really want you to know
I always will love you
Forever, I will
And though it's been years since you left me
This fool loves you still

Will you be alone
In the place you call home?
Locked away
I will stay with my memories
Will you be alright
In the dark of the night?
I'll be cool
'Cause this fool keeps me company

So many times, I just wake it up and shine
Can you feel it coming?
Comin' over and over and over, again

Will you be alone
In the place you call home?
Locked away
I will stay with my memories
Will you be alright
In the dark of the night?
I'll be cool
'Cause this fool keeps me company

There's a fool in my heart that will never let go

11. Infinite Fire

Bitter land of sight unseen
Awaken at the altar...
A simple man, a single dream; to live and never falter
Back from the seas, he had to sail
As time had slipped away now
He lands in a place of mystery; there's no way he can stay now

I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again

One more chance to fight the fire
That's raging through the forest
The water here's in short supply; there's no way he can store it
Reaching out across the swirl
The wind is a restless danger
Soon he'll reach the water's edge, and no more be a stranger

I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again

I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Bitter land of sight unseen
The winter sun is so extreme
We're seeking something different today
Light the lamp from in the earth
A nation from eternal birth
Hold before me absolute sway

Cover me in dust
And hide me now
As light and sound
Come trickling down
Giants turn to rust
It's all going down
Back to the ground
Still I can hear the sound...

I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again

I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again

Seasons and times may take you over
Lead to you places you wouldn't go
So many seeds sown by the sower
Infinite fire come turn us to gold

Seasons and times may take you over
Lead you to places you wouldn't go
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead you to places you would never go
