Indebted To You

One day I'd like to open my eyes to understanding
And see a world of equals where love is all-commanding
I'd like to feel a freedom
Admire the perfect view
I hope for this but until then
I'll live my life for you
Some day I'd like to listen to peaceful conversation
And hear my children's voices go sharing with the nation
I'd like to see them living
In comfort like you knew
I hope for this but until then
I'll spend my life indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you
One day I'd like to thank you for working for the people
Whose futures are dependent on words beyond the steeple
Your actions are decisive
So promise you'll be true
We hope for this but until then
We'll spend our lives indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you
We hope for this but until then
We'll spend our lives indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you
Indebted to you

Glitches

You're shiny but rough round the edges
You try but you can't keep your pledges
But everyone knows
Yes everyone knows
You're programmed to switch off if I talk
Emotions in check like a cyborg
You already know
Yes you already know
You're wired completely the opposite way
As I move closer you're further away
I try but there's nothing that I can do
Baby, I'm just like you
'Cause I've got glitches too
You try to recharge when you're broken
You want to deny what was spoken
You try to let go
You try to let go
You'd rather erase the whole memory
Delete the hard drive to save energy
Letting it go
You're letting it go
You're wired completely the opposite way
As I move closer you're further away
I try but there's nothing that I can do
Baby, I'm just like you
'Cause I've got glitches too

Talking To Myself
03:45

Lately I've been thinking
Far too much about you
Lately I've been drinking
Far too much to doubt you
'Cause you are the only one
I want to be the one for you
But you are the only one
Who can tear me up like you do
I've been talking to myself again
In the middle of the night
Going crazy by myself again
You make me lose my mind
Been talking to myself
Baby, can you save me?
Tell me that you're mine
Did the glance you gave me
Tell me that we're doing fine?
I've been talking to myself again
In the middle of the night
Going crazy by myself again
You make me lose my mind
Been talking to myself

You set the target so high
But there's no chance you'll touch the blue sky
So why don't you make it easy on yourself?
You search for happiness
But only when you've made your list
And when it's here you're looking somewhere else
And when I'm here you're looking at someone else
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You always want the next step
Before you've even reached the best bit
So tell me how can I keep you satisfied?
It's like the never-ending
Search for something while it's trending
So how long will it be before you decide
To change your heart and swim against the tide?
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"
You said, "I'll see you, see you at the end of the rainbow"

Compete

Does it make you feel so much better about yourself
If you're looking at me and I'm doing it wrong?
Does it make you feel so much better about yourself
If you're moving ahead while I take so long?
You wanna play
You keep score but I
I don't wanna compete anymore
You wanna play
You keep score but I
I don't wanna compete anymore
Does it make you feel so much more secure in yourself
Knowing what you have is so much better than mine?
Does it make you feel so much more sure of yourself
Knowing what you got is worth an eight or a nine?
You wanna play
You keep score but I
I don't wanna compete anymore
You wanna play
You keep score but I
I don't wanna compete anymore
But you keep holding on
You wanna play
You keep score but I
I don't wanna compete anymore
You wanna play
You keep score but I
I don't wanna compete anymore

Polaroid Dream
02:56
|

Posing for the pictures
Waiting for the press
Turning for the cameras
Walking in her dress
Moving down the catwalk
Flicking back her hair
Lighting up a cigarette
Meeting every stare
She's a Polaroid dream
Living in a magazine
She's a Polaroid dream
Leaving in a limousine
Drawing on her lipstick
Covering the scars
Putting on an accent
Mixing with the stars
Drinking in the bedroom
Faking every smile
The pressure's getting to her
The girl behind the style
She's a Polaroid dream
Living in a magazine
She's a Polaroid dream
Leaving in a limousine

Trying Your Patience
04:17

"Slow down
Can you wait for me?"
Is all I've ever asked of you
"Give me some more time to be
Sure I'm still in love with you"
But that's the problem:
If I need to check before I throw myself into you
So now, after all, here I go and then
Trying your patience again
Saying, "can we wait?"
The clock on the wall still reminds me I'm trying your patience again
But it's too late for that
Shadows of doubt in my mind
You cast them with your violent words
Feelings I just can't erase
Moments tainted by the curse
And that's the issue:
If I can't commit, then where does that leave us?
So now, after all, here I go and then
Trying your patience again
Saying, "can we wait?"
The clock on the wall still reminds me I'm trying your patience again
But it's too late for that

Filter
03:35

Is there a moment when we say too much?
Is there a second too precious to touch?
Is there a time when we lock the door?
Is there a filter anymore?
How many pictures before lines are crossed?
Is there a danger of privacy lost?
And what of the wounded, upon whom salt is poured?
Is there a filter anymore?
Was there a moment when we became proud
To speak minds so rashly, so loud?
Is there a reason why we need to share
Our insecure feelings to those who don't care?
What happened to wisdom, avoiding the war?
Is there a filter anymore?
