No one needs to know, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful, one needs to know If a lover's being true, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful And I'm being faithful to you I don't know what you're thinking we should do I don't know if the words you say are true But let me tell you this for sure The things we're doing just ain't pure And no one needs to know but me and you No one needs to know No one needs to know No one needs to know, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful, one needs to know If a lover's being true, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful And I'm being faithful to you You don't know all the things she put me through You don't know if the words I say are true But let me tell you this tonight The things we're doing just ain't right And no one needs to know but me and you No one needs to know No one needs to know No one needs to know, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful, one needs to know If a lover's being true, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful And I'm being faithful to you No one needs to know No one needs to know No one needs to know No one needs to know, one needs to know No one needs to know, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful, one needs to know If a lover's being true, one needs to know If a lover's being faithful And I'm being faithful to you

Barriers 03:05
Black for the hearts below White heat to melt the snow Bury the domino A symbol of your past obsession It's only a worthless invention You and me, unsure Breaking down the barriers of love and war We're breaking the barriers Criss cross the signal flow Life where no life should go Know what no one should know When memory in fact is fiction You're choosing the world that you live in You and me, unsure Breaking down the barriers of love and war We're breaking the barriers You and me, unsure Lost between the memories of life before We built up the barriers You and me, unsure We're breaking the barriers

Eponine 03:18
Whoa my Eponine, can't you hear the words I sing? Can't you hear the words I sing? Whoa my Eponine, can't you hear the words I sing? Can't you hear the words I sing? A crush can never be resolved Seems like every resolution ends in tragedy Singin' oh, my Eponine We swore we'd die To end this bolshevik And now it's time Time to put an end to all your woe My Eponine, can't you hear the words I sing? Can't you hear the words I sing? You can't just let this world revolve (oh no) Seems like every revolution ends in casualty Singin' oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, my Eponine Before you go Just these last words for you I love you so And love can bring an end to all your woe My Eponine, can't you hear the words I sing? Can't you hear the words I sing? Whoa my Eponine, can't you hear the words I sing? Can't you hear the words I sing? Whoa my Eponine, you can't just let this world revolve Can't just let this world revolve Whoa my Eponine, can't you hear the words? Can't you hear these words? Whoa my Eponine, can't you hear the words I sing? Can't you hear the words I sing? Whoa my Eponine, can't you hear the words? Can't you hear these words?

Fight the darkness We gotta fight the darkness To prevent a fire Burn your dreams with insight Tear off your cloak And throw it in the street Someone could use it anyway And you'll never feel the cold 'Cause you'll never be alone Fight the darkness We gotta fight the darkness You present desire Silver strings on gold lyre Tear off our clothes And throw them on the floor Now we don't need them anymore And we'll never feel the cold 'Cause we'll never be alone Fight the darkness We gotta fight the darkness

Heartache will get you down But your body heals once your love has been found Heartbreak is something else When you just can't cure the pain that you've found And we almost believed it was love Yeah, we nearly perceived it as love You know I would have sworn it was love But my mind and body fail me now And my shining armor's rusted now It could have been love It should have been love You are catastrophe And I rode your wave, it was carrying me I am an island now, and it's nevermore You're gonna be drifting up on to my shore And we almost believed it was love Yeah we nearly perceived it as love You know I would have sworn it was love But my mind and body fail me now And my shining armor's rusted now It could have been love It should have been love And we almost believed it was love Yeah we nearly perceived it as love You know I would have sworn it was love But my mind and body fail me now (Oh they fail me now) And my shining armor's rusted now (Oh it's rusted now) It could have been love It should have been love

Knew we'd never stand a chance We were slave to circumstance Maybe we'd have seen it through If you were me and I was you Out of mind and body too Got the incarnation blues Know we'll never meet again But in this life, you were a friend So I'll hold out for the next Won't be so sorrowed, cursed and vexed Out of mind and body too Got the incarnation blues 'Cause time moves slowly When you're alone with no way to be loved

I met you on my lunch break You were hanging with some other dude And when you reached for the cupcake I knew you were my type of girl One day I know you'll need to follow me (one day we'll go) I've got the key to room 117 Oh, I'll be there Lies, some teacher told you you draw like you're blind Your classmates don't respect you You're not into design But just know this cobra's got your back Remember Pasadena The way you looked at me and smiled Somehow I knew that you would follow me (somehow I knew) Over the bridge to haunt the castle green Oh, I'll be there Lies, some teacher told you you draw like you're blind Your classmates don't respect you You're not into design But just know this cobra's got your back Asi es la vida I need to let you know That I can never let you go Someone you can't see, believes

Lie detector's on the blink, so comfort me with doublethink And let's put wallpaper up between our ears Over the years As my attention span disappears Blink and it's gone A moment has never seemed so long I'm still dreaming of clock towers and synchronicity You call it coincidence -- I call it common sense The truth will set you free if you've been slave to a lie I'm waiting for a chance to make it known I'm gonna be the one who keeps you from being alone I call, I call, I call, I call No one ever Used to be political, but now our state is critical So let's put wallpaper up between our ears Once it was clear Maybe I lost it over the years Maybe it's here Buried beneath the dirt of fear Maybe it's still here I'm still dreaming of clock towers and synchronicity You call it coincidence -- I call it common sense The truth will set you free if you've been slave to a lie Oh, I'm still dreaming in sound waves that oscillate and amplify The feeling of nothingness, oh what a subtle bliss The truth will set you free if you've been slave to a lie I'm waiting for a chance to make it known I'm gonna be the one who keeps you from being alone I've seen it all before, but I still can't tell So you better ask somebody who knows I'm waiting for a chance to make it known I'm gonna be the one who keeps you from being alone I've seen it all before, but I still can't tell So you better ask somebody who knows You better ask somebody who knows You better ask somebody who knows

I Wonder 02:56
Hold on before you break me Give me one more chance Maybe I don't deserve it But give me one more chance To prove my to love you You can exist in a world without being a part of the world And somehow that's comforting when you're not where you want to be But time it is a living thing I wonder what today will bring I wonder what the stars will have in store for us If you hold on before you wake me Let me dream a dream As unlikely as it seems You can exist in a world without being a part of the world And somehow that's comforting when you're not where you want to be But faith, it is a knowing thing Relinquish all control of things And submit yourself to loving in the highest light

So long ago, I dreamt about a city built on rock and roll, when it fell So long ago, I knew that it would happen but I couldn't get back to explain So the future remained the same Now like the leaves you're gone It's a fresh cut lawn that I left you on In the pouring rain, I breathe your name and suddenly I feel happy again So long ago, I saw you for a moment But your figure got lost in the crowd Now I'm looking all over town Now like the leaves you're gone It's a fresh cut lawn that I'm lying on When I start to yawn, I breathe your name and suddenly I feel happy again I see myself in all of you and all yourselves in me Shadows underneath my tree There, hidden in the patterns that present themselves to me Shadows underneath my tree I see myself in all of you and all yourselves in me Shadows underneath my tree

No rush, straight flush Leave it up to me, babe You just wait and see, babe All of the hard work paying off No rush, straight flush If I was the king, babe I'd buy you anything, babe Bet you won't regret giving me a run If you want the odds I'll give you ten to one Well, what's it gonna be, babe? Play the hand you see, babe Bet you won't regret giving me a run I'm sitting on an ace, and it ain't no bluff If you want the odds, I'll give you ten to one No rush, straight flush
