1. WISH YOU WERE HERE

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
And pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, I'm happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were…here

I lay my head unto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment
I'm happy, happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

The worlds a rollercoaster
And I'm not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care, but
My hands are busy in the air
I'm saying

I wish you were here
I wish you were……
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here


2. MEXICO (LIVE)

You could see me reaching,
So why couldn't you have met me halfway
You could see me bleeding
But you could not put pressure on the wound....

You only think about yourself.
You only think about yourself.
You'd better bend before I go...
On the first train to Mexico....

You could see me breathing
But you still kept your hand over my mouth....
You could feel me seething
But you just turned your nose up in the air....

You only think about yourself.
You only think about yourself...
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico.....

You only think about yourself.
You only think about yourself...
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico.....


3. DRIVE (LIVE)

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the
Fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.
But lately I am beginning to find that
I should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found.

So whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes. Yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine...
Hold the wheel and drive?

So whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes. Yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there


4. WARMTH (LIVE)

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high-rise today.
It's not a breeze 'cause it blows hard.
Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know,
Watch the warmth blow away.

Don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old.

Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear(?)
Or should I hold my head up high
And throw a wrench and spokes by
Leaving the air behind me clear?

Don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old


5. WISH YOU WERE HERE (LIVE)

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
And pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, I'm happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were…here

I lay my head unto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment
I'm happy, happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

The worlds a rollercoaster
And I'm not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care, but
My hands are busy in the air
I'm saying

I wish you were here
I wish you were……
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here.
