Chasing After the Wind

Nothing but bones where a home used to lay
A picture on the front steps is all I've got left
When the echo of our footsteps has faded away

If I go chasing after the wind, to find there's nothing new under the sun
Remind this aching heart of mine that everything is made beautiful in time

Nothing but bones where a home used to breathe
I'm seeing things, ghosts wandering
In the wreckage their unfulfilled dreams

If I go chasing after the wind, to find there's nothing new under the sun
Remind this aching heart of mine that everything is made beautiful in time

I'll put on my best dress and dance all night
I'll put on my best dress and dance all night
I'll put on my best dress and dance all night
Laughter drives away the sorrow
and blindness heals the sight
Blindness heals the sight


If I go chasing after the wind, to find there's nothing new under the sun
Remind this aching heart of mine that everything is made beautiful in time
Everything is made beautiful in time

Tumble Down

If I run out in the rain, close my eyes to everything
Open my mouth to catch the drops, to sear my throat with fire
Will you think it's strange?

It's salt upon my tongue, a racing flame within my veins
I tumble down to the earth, I tumble down in the mud
Do you think it's strange?

I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
Do you blame me? I am the one to blame?

I live on insubstantial dreams, a feast of sugar-plum schemes
Santa stuffed my stocking full of poetry and stars and coal
Do you think it's strange

I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
Do you blame me? I am the one to blame?

I tumble down to the earth, I tumble down in the mud
Do you think it's strange?
Spin in circles till we fall, till it all comes crashing down
Do you think it's strange?

I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
I didn't ever really want you to understand anything
Do you blame me? I am the one to blame?

Can It Be Forgiven

There's always a reason, some kind of excuse
For what I've become and what I've been
You see who I should be, you see who I am
How the sacred and the sin
Get tangled up in knots beneath my skin

The selfishness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The jealousy inside me, can it be forgiven?
The bitterness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The anger inside me, can it be forgiven?
Can it be forgiven?

I wanted to say this isn't my fault
To find someone or something to blame
Then you took my face into your lovely hands
My guilt touched by innocence
and we both came away unstained

The selfishness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The jealousy inside me, can it be forgiven?
The bitterness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The anger inside me, can it be forgiven?
Can it be forgiven?
