Verse 1:
What will you do when the money's gone cold?
What will you do when there's nothing left?
Oo the nation's falling
and you hold it against yourself
What will you do if it doesn't work out?
Foxy money for a rainy day fund
Oo better get a real job
Before you're on the run
Chorus:
You’ve got the call, call, call
You’ve got the call, call, call
Where do we go from here?
Who survives as a New American?
Another dead career
Who survives as a New American?
How do we shake the fear?
Who survives as a New American?
It’s gonna be our year
To survive as a New American
Verse 2:
Should you put a price on dreams?
Would you if you were alone?
Oo the expectations
From others and your own
And what if you take another way out?
Will it fund your happiness too?
Oo when your door closes
How will they think of you?
Chorus

Way To Go, Apollo

Verse:
On the bus I see people retreat in their heads
Using music to shy away from the world ahead
Sit and wonder if someday that's how they'll listen
To our songs on the bus in the same position
Pre-Chorus:
Somehow you trust a river
To flow around the bend
The way it always flows one way in the end
You find your way again
Chorus:
Way to go, Apollo
I know that we'll get better
Take my word for better or worse
And we'll go out together
Verse 2:
There's a burner alight in the back of my head
Kept a vigilant watch as the fire begins to spread
All your fears started clamoring from remission
For a number of years til you're in the same position
Chorus:
Way to go, Apollo
I know that we'll get better
Take my word for better or worse
And we'll go out together
No revisions, just decisions
But it's now or never
Way to go, Apollo
I know that we'll get better

The Way Home

Stranded out of gas
One mile from the overpass
Every second that ticks past
Makes me think of you
The rain a-coming down
Wonder how it is in this town
When you’re up you’re up, you’re down you’re down
That’s all there is to do
Chorus:
Doot do do do do doo do
Doot do doo do do do doo do
Doot do do do do doo do
Doot do do do doo do
Doot do do do do doo do
Doot do doo do do do doo do
Doot do do do do doo do
Doot do do do doo do
You came without cost
When I thought everything was lost
There to lend a helping hand
When I became blue
Heroes come and go
With their small armies in tow
The world for all we know
Is something sad and true
It’s so true, so true
Chorus
The way home has left
Came up short fifty cents
Seems there’s no way outta this mess
Except straight through
And if I get home to you
Tell you what I’m gonna do
Repent for all of my ways
Make it up to you, whoa
Chorus x2

Radioheart

Verse 1:
All the people I know are
Faking it through piles of hay
Reminded by a needle why
They're digging in the first place
All the people I know are
Growing up just to grow bored
I can feel my hands and feet
But I don't know who I am anymore
Chorus:
My skin and bones still vibrate from a Radioheart
Drifts in and out won’t always finish what it starts
It doesn’t know how to turn itself off
A Radioheart wants to love and to be loved
Verse 2:
Someone took piles of feathers
Mended them back into wings
Someone waits in the place I
Thought I only made for me
All the people I know how
Happy they would be to see
If all their dreams would want them
With the strength they want their dreams
Chorus

Verse 1:
Taking off for outer rim
I know we talked about it
It’s not going to make it any easier
Leaving you like this
But each star born from your mouth
Is burning light years away
And every hint that flickers out
Dances ‘round the room like swordplay
Ooh, now I hear nothing at all
Ooh, now I hear nothing at all
Chorus:
It’s getting so cold in here
The words have frozen to my lips
So I’ll send my thoughts in dots and dashes
Straight to you from my spaceship
If only you’d receive the message
As if you could read my mind
But every reason I invent just
Leaves your answer far behind
Verse 2:
Staring out at constellations
Wondering if I rewrote the cards
Would we be settled in some city
With five kids and a yard
You dove down to black hole in my heart
Stuck around though you always knew
Maybe leaving was letting me take the fall
So you don’t have to
Chorus
Some people are spaceships
Only fit for big, big spaces
Some people are spaceships
Flying off to distant places
