    2. Against The Odds

      Each time we return
      To this crazy place
      We break the promise made, face to face

      Easy to make
      Easy to break
      Something's here we don't understand

      I don't know
      Why we go on so
      I don't want to fight no more tonight

      Every time's the same
      Both of us to blame
      I don't want to talk no more tonight

      We've gone through this before
      Now we ask for more
      Seems to me we can't escape at all

      Words have no meaning
      To hold such a feeling
      Can there be a way out of here

      I don't know
      Why we go on so
      I don't want to fight no more tonight

      Every time's the same
      Both of us to blame
      I don't want to talk no more tonight

    4. Summer Elegy

      Something's gotta give
      We can't carry on like this
      One year on and more unsure
      Where do we go from here?
      Many nights and many days
      I've spent with you
      Talking about what we should do
      I can't say
      Nothing's clear to me no more

      One more sleepless night
      And another wasted day
      This song has no end
      Too many words fill my mind
      You gave so much too soon
      No longer sure where you want to be
      Turn around
      See what you have found

      Let's drink to absent friends
      How they cared, and all they shared
      We took our life to the edge
      They still try to understand
      Time is running out
      You're going down
      Come on, let's go wherever they may be
      Make a choice
      Stay behind or follow me

    6. Holiday

      It was meant to be a holiday
      Building castles by the sea
      Another way to live for you and me
      Time to pause, consider what we've done
      The wind is blowing, so come,
      Let's take a holiday

      How was I to know quite so soon
      That dreams can turn a life,
      Around it seems
      There is no single way to live our days
      Between these lines I know you see a man
      Who's not quite sure who he is
      Or where he stands

      Sail on
      Sail on, across the sea
      Ride the waves, feel the breeze
      Sail on
      There's no other way I'd rather be

      Destiny, reality are just a dream
      Raise the sails, the wind is free
      Every day I become more confused
      Which way to go, how to choose

      Back at home, what holds me here
      Shut in not moving, only half a life
      Clouds hang heavy, they leave me cold
      It doesn't have to be this way
      The wind is blowing, so come,
      Let's take a holiday

      Sail on
      Sail on, across the sea
      Ride the waves, feel the breeze
      Sail on
      There's no other way I'd rather be

      Sail on
      Sail on, across the sea
      Ride the waves, feel the breeze
      Sail on
      There's no other way I'd rather be

      Sail on
      Sail on
      Sail on
      Sail on
      There's no other way I'd rather be

      Sail on
      Sail on

    9. Pink's Song

      Quiet, smiling friend of mine
      Thrown into our lives
      You gave everything you could
      Saw through our disguise

      I had to stay I could not leave
      Give me time so I can breathe
      Give me time to be at ease

      Patiently, you watched us play
      Parts you'd seen before
      Even then, we sometimes asked
      What you keep us for

      Caught between the tangled web
      You helped set us free
      Sadly, then, you lost yourself
      So you had to leave

      And I must go, be on my way
      Let me go, I can not stay
      Let me go, I must not stay

      And I must go, be on my way
      Let me go, I cannot stay
      Let me go, I m
