    5 Days In May
    9:04
    They met in a hurricane
    Standing in the shelter out of the rain
    She tucked a note into his hand
    Later on they took his car
    Drove on down where the beaches are
    He wrote her name in the sand
    Never even let go of her hand

    Somehow they stayed that way
    For those five days in May
    Made all the stars around them shine
    Funny how you can look in vain
    Living on nerves and such sweet pain
    The loneliness that cuts so fine
    To find the face you've seen a thousand times

    Sometimes the world begins
    To set you up on your feet again
    It wipes the tears from your eyes
    How will you ever know
    The way that circumstances go
    Always going to hit you by surprise
    I know my past
    You were there
    In everything I've done
    You are the one

    Looking back it's hard to tell
    Why they stood while others fell
    Spend your life working it out
    All I know is one cloudy day
    They both just ran away
    Rain on the windshield heading South
    She loved the lines around his mouth

    Sometimes the world begins
    To set you up on your feet again
    It wipes the tears from your eyes
    How will you ever know
    The way that circumstances go
    Always going to hit you by surprise
    I know my past
    You were there
    In everything
    I've done
    You are the one

    Rebel
    Out on the streets every night
    Going out of my head
    Caught in a midnight parade
    That I wish I wasn't in

    Running away with nowhere to hide
    Caught in a world just four lanes wide
    Everyone thinks of themselves
    But I'm thinking of you

    And it's all for a rebel
    And it's all for a rebel
    Rebel rebel

    Spent last night falling in love
    With a girl in room five
    People round here are different
    We lead desperate lives

    Same sun rising over your head
    Is catching me wasted worn-out and dead
    Everyone watches themselves
    But I'm watching you

    And it's all for a rebel
    And it's all for a rebel
    Rebel rebel

    Out on the streets every night
    Going out of my head
    Caught in a midnight parade
    That I wish I wasn't in

    Same sun rising over your head
    Is catching me wasted worn-out and dead
    Everyone watches themselves
    But I'm watching you

    And it's all for a rebel
    And it's all for a rebel
    Rebel rebel rebel

    Blue House
    3:15
    Sometimes I drive by our old blue house
    When I wake up calling your name
    It's been years since you were my one true love
    But that old house still looks the same

    I dreamt you were an iceberg
    And I was the Arctic sea
    And I held you but you held back from me
    Yeah I held you but you held back from me

    When I drive by that cold blue house
    The car out front looks strange
    In every room the lights turn on and off
    But all I see is how this world will never change

    I dreamt I was the Sahara
    And you were the desert tree
    The sun beat down on both our backs
    And you turned yours on me
    The sun beat down on both our backs
    And you turned yours on me

    Sometimes I drive by our old blue house
    When I wake up calling your name
    It's been years since you were my one true love
    But that old house still looks the same

    I dreamt we were a ride at the fair
    A wheel that spun on the ground
    And even though we got nowhere
    We still reached for the stars and the clouds
    We still reached for the stars and the clouds

    And I held you but you held back from me
    Yeah I held you but you held back from me
    Yeah I held you but you held back from me

    3 Hours Away
    3:53
    Can't get used to what you told me You said better brace yourself
    There's changes coming in I wake up to a brand-new story
    Stop the clock that's ticking on the shelf
    Then let it all begin

    Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
    Chasing all my ghosts around
    Maybe I worry what I will say
    Now I'm only 3 hours away

    Living in between the pages
    Watching the strangers come and go Just life that's passing by
    It all keeps coming down in stages
    Only hurts the ones you know No matter what you try

    Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
    Chasing songs from town to town
    Maybe I worry what I will say
    Now I'm only 3 hours away

    Some things aren't meant to last
    Like a day that burns up fast
    Turn away and then it's gone

    Sun comes the red sky morning
    I pray that the trouble all has passed
    Just something that I dreamed I must have missed all of your warnings
    I guess we played too fast Much closer than it seemed

    Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
    Making all my plans alone
    Maybe I worry what I will say Now I'm only 3 hours away
    Maybe I worry what I will say Now I'm only 3 hours away

    Try
    3:38
    Don't tell me I'm wrong
    Cause I've been watching every move that you make
    Hearts you steal, when you're made-up and heels
    Trouble for the man that you take
    Every time you walk in the room
    I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
    You were never the same way twice
    I'm falling in love
    Oh, night after night, oh it's crazy, ooh
    So many people who said, ooh
    Girl you've got nothing but time
    Oh you are a shining star
    Don't you worry 'bout what you're leaving behind.
    Every time you walk in the room
    I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
    You were never the same way twice
    I'm falling in love
    Oh, night after night, oh it's crazy
    Oh you got to try, try, try
    Ah don't you know you've got to try
    Try, try, ooh
    Oh baby you try, oh
    Every time you walk in the room
    I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
    You were never the same way twice
    I'm falling in love
    Oh, night after night, oh it's crazy
    Oh you got to try, try, try
    Ah don't you know you've got to try
    Try, try
    Ooh oh baby you try, oh whoa whoa try, oh whoa whoa

    Know Where You Go
    5:06
    Nothing can compare
    To how I feel
    When I'm by your side
    And nothing can compare
    To the world I see in your eyes

    'Cause I know where you go
    Love how you know
    How to take me there
    Yea I know where you go
    Love how you know
    How to take me there

    You fill my head
    With colours
    Of wonder and delight
    You move across my mind
    Like the dance
    Of the Northern Lights

    'Cause I know where you go
    Love how you know
    How to take me there
    Yea I know where you go
    Love how you know
    How to take me there

    Tell Me Your Dream
    2:38
    As we sat in front of that August moon
    You said ‘the clouds they look like angel wings'
    Sometimes I wonder if you can read my mind
    ‘Cause I was thinking the very same thing

    When I'm with you all the stars shine through
    My heart opens up like a morning flower
    You know I'd leave it all behind
    ‘Cause my only peace of mind
    Is when I'm here with you

    So tell me your dream
    Lay your head on my pillow
    Tell me the things that you hide away
    Your pain
    Your pleasure
    Your sorrow

    Tell me the things that you hide away
    Your pain
    Your pleasure
    Your sorrow

    Bad Timing
    4:58
    Hey it's me what a big surprise
    Calling you up from a restaurant
    Around the bend
    I just got in from way up North
    I'm aching tired now
    And I could use a friend
    I might be a fool
    To think that you do
    Want to see me again

    It's been awhile since I talked to you
    Nothing wrong
    Just nothing ever goes as planned
    Many times I thought I'd call
    I didn't have your number in my hand
    I know it's true
    You'd never do
    The same thing to me

    I never meant to make you cry
    And though I know I shouldn't call
    It just reminds us of the cost
    Of everything we've lost
    Bad timing that's all

    Maybe soon there'll come a day
    When no more tears will fall
    If we each forgive a little bit
    And we both look back on it
    As just bad timing that's all

    We used to have so many plans
    Something always seemed to turn out wrong
    I never could catch up to you
    Moving on and doing what you've done
    I don't know why
    The harder I try
    The harder it comes

    I never meant to make you cry
    And though I know I shouldn't call
    It just reminds us of the cost
    Of everything we've lost
    Bad timing that's all

    Maybe soon there'll come a day
    When no more tears will fall
    If we each forgive a little bit
    When we both look back on it
    Just bad timing that's all
