9. This Mountain
Well a wise man once said to me,
If your heart don't break you won't be free,
I'm as free as a bird,
Flying out over flying out over the sea.

I call out to the wind,
No one comes to let me in,
I hear the thunder,
The weight on my shoulders the weight up on my shoulders crushing me.

Shine down on this mountain,
Rain down on my face,
Call out to the river,
To wash me out to wash me out of this place.

Well I wish that I was a sailorman,
With the wheel of the ship held my hand,
But I don't like the water,
I'm more like the anchor I wish I was the anchor in me.

Sometimes I wish I was a sin,
So the ones I love wouldn't let me in,
I wouldn't have to try to find the answers,
To give 'em all the answers they need.

10. Crossfire
I found the answer but I never liked it,
I took my baby to the 10 step platform,
I tied a reef knot on twice in the blindfold,
I whisper 20 steps and point direction.

Crossfire doesn't burn you,
It only hurts when it gets you in the heart,
If you don't hate me you'll learn to,
I thought I had it clear from the start,
I don't have a heart.

I call my baby just to hang on up the phone,
I take a rain check and never ever check the rain,
I leave the carton out for hours on summer days,
I took a course on how to break the most hearts.

11. Falling Into You
I've been crushed like paper I've been washed like rain,
I've been scared of sleeping in case I wake up the same,
I've been broken and battered I've been lost in my home,
I've been crying a river I've been cold as a stone.

But falling into you,
It carries me far enough away,
And everything you do,
It lightens up my darker side of day,
I just hope that the wind doesn't blow you away.

I've been left unnatended I've been thrown like a ball,
I've been rolled with the punches and I didn't feel a thing at all,
I've been crossed by the wires I've been blinded by the light,
I've been burnt by the fire I've been kept out of sight.

12. If I Were You
If I was good I'd tell everyone I know,
If I was free I wouldn't be so keen to go,
If I was wrong I would take it like a man,
If I was smart I would get out while I can,
If I was broken I would probably let it be,
If I was dying I wouldn't go out quietly,
If I was lost well my heart would feel the same,
If I was honest I would probably be ashamed.

But if I were you I would notice me,
If I were you I would wait for me,
If I were you I would easily hold me and say it's all gonna be OK.

If I was rich I would spend it on my own,
If I was dignified I'd only smoke at home,
If I was dark I would only dress in black,
If I was chosen I would gladly give it back.

It's not for you to judge from all this kinda stuff,
I'm only half of what you see.
