The Midsummer Station
Release Date: 08/21/2012
Label: Universal Republic
We were alone on the road driving faster
So far from home, we were chasing disaster
Hard on the gas till the car caught on fire
We had to laugh as the smoke billowed higher
I wanna feel alive forever after
And you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever after
And I, and I, and I say
Follow the light through the dreams and disasters
Follow the light to the edge and the after
We won't turn around, we will not slow down
Follow the light through the dreams and disasters
Sting of the sun and the sound of it rising
Still on the run with our eyes on the horizon
2. [04:07] Shooting Star
Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from one to ten and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there, right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts
Oh the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time
Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that'll try to bring you down
But not this time
A thousand heartbeats beat in time
And makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine
3. [03:56] Gold
Stand on up and take a bow
There's something there and it's showing
There's no need to look around
You're the best we got going
Shout out to the dreams you'll chase
Shout out to the hearts you'll break
Nothing's gonna stop you now
I guess you better be going
You'll never be far
I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart
You're here
Go on
It's gotta be time
You're starting to shine
'Cause what you got is
Gold
I know you're gold
Oh, I know, I know
I don't need the stars in the night
I found my treasure
All I need is you by my side
So shine forever
Gold
I know you're gold
Oh, I know you're gold
It won't take you long to get
When you feel like you're soaring
So write it all and don't forget
You gotta tell us your story
Shout out to the friends back home
Shout out to the hearts you've known
You gave em nothing but the best
Yeah and you can tell em your story
4. [03:31] Dementia
Every light in the night flickered in and out
Every bone in my back shivered up and down
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Every voice in my head shouted yes and no
Every freight train of thought fought to stop and go
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Big surprise, I'm a ghost keeping out of sight
Rub your eyes, you're a star in the summer night
This is love, this is war, it's insanity Dementia, you're driving me crazy
Every tear in my eyes dripped and wouldn't drop
Every disc in my spine shook and couldn't stop
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Every hand let me go that I tried to hold
Every warmhearted love left me freezing cold
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Through the skies you're en route at the speed of light
So realize there's chaos in the air tonight
This is love, this is war, this is pure insanity
Dementia, you're driving me crazy
5. [03:30] I'm Coming After You
I saw your face in a criminal sketch
Don't be alarmed 'cause you don't know me yet
I'm on the prowl now sniffing around this town for you
Calling all cars, there's an officer down
Shot to the heart on a night on the town
And the evidence of your fingerprints was found
And now
You got the right to remain right here with me
I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit
Love is a high speed chase racing down the street
Woo woo woo, I'm coming after you
Oh no here we go once again
We both know you'll never turn yourself in
So I'm driving till it's light out, searching for your hideout
Pick up the pace as I chase you around
One of these days I'll end up tracking you down
But yeah, I got the feeling I'll be letting you loose when I do
Because you
6. [03:28] Speed Of Love
I tried to disappear But you're the only reason I'm floating here Eyes painted crystal clear I can see our future through the atmosphere Don't you go, no don't you go Don't you know, I'm up here alone Yeah I am like a satellite Sending you a signal tonight Oh oh oh, like a streak of light
Oh oh oh, watch the world fly by
Oh oh oh, rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love
You were so hard to find
With oh so many clouds across my summer sky
You, my constellation prize
Yeah every single star is sparkling in your eyes
So don't you go, no don't you go
'Cause don't you know, I'm up here alone
So high, like a satellite
I'm sending you a signal tonight
One track, one mind, one race to win
One start, one heart, one life to live
7. [03:26] Good Time
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and goodnight
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Woah oh oh oh
Woah it's always a good time
Woah oh oh oh
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Doesn't matter when, it's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where, it's always a good time there
Doesn't matter when, it's always a good time then
It's always a good time
8. [03:45] Embers
There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive
There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes
There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive
But the world took a spark like a match in the dark
And the fire brought me to life
So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high
'Cause there's no other way we can stay alive
'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite
And when it's all said and done, we'll shine like the sun
So don't let the fire die
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light
And though the embers are new, whatever you do
Just don't let the fire die
And you find they'll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold
But you'll fight with a passion and you'll never stop 'cause you know
Yeah you know, it gets better and your story is yet to be told
Every push, every shove, every war, every love
Yeah, the coals are beginning to glow
9. [04:12] Silhouette
I'm tired of waking up in tears
'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
I'm new to this grief I can't explain
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain
The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die
I'm a silhouette
Asking every now and then
Is it over yet?
Will I ever feel again?
I'm a silhouette
Chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on
The more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
I'm sick of the past I can't erase
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace
The mountain of things I still regret
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
No matter where I go
I'm a silhouette
Asking every now and then
Is it over yet?
Will I ever smile again?
I'm a silhouette
Chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on
The more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
10. [03:39] Metropolis
Oh oh, I can't even take it in
Oh oh, I can't even take it in
Oh oh, I left my heart in Metropolis
So far apart, I checked but the coast was clear
I feel like a postcard, I wish you were here
Subway through the dark
Carriage through the park
Taxi down the street
Get out and use my feet
Don't matter much to me
What it is that I do
As long as I'm coming home to you
Oh oh oh, as far as I can see
You're the only one, the only one who can get to me
Like a hijacked plane
Or a runaway train
Or a speeding bullet
There's no stopping this
I left my heart in Metropolis
A thousand miles feels like a million years
Like hundreds of postcards that say I wish you were here
Airplane through the sky
Greyhound racing by
Dirt bike on the beach
Sailboat on the sea
Don't matter much to me
What it is that I do
As long as I'm coming home to you
11. [03:31] Take It All Away
There was a shot in the dark, I was caught by surprise
There was a hole in my heart, there were tears in your eyes
And there was nothing to say 'cause you made up your mind
And so I guess what you meant when you left was goodbye
So if you're gonna go and leave me in a lonely gray
I won't let it show until you've finally flown away
You gotta know that
You tear me up when you say
You wanna take it all away, take it all away
You tear me up when you say
You wanna take it all away, take it all away
You were the one and it was enough
To be the one you were dreaming of
You were the one and we called it love
And now you take it all away, take it all away
I felt a pain in my chest with your kiss on my cheek
And as I tried to digest the words I couldn't believe
I'm left with nothing to say with my heart on my sleeve
Making it easy to hurt and even harder to breathe
