A Million Miles Away 03:26
lyrics
buy track
I only get your voice most of the time I never get to feel your hand holding mine 'Cos you're a million miles, you're a million miles away I never see your face, not in the real world I've only got eyes for you but you're not my girl 'Cos you're a million miles, you're a million miles away No, you don't make it any easier Easier to fall in love with you I know the words you've been wanting me to say But you're a million miles away A million miles away... I don't know where you are now, where you might have been The nights that I need you, you're nowhere to be seen 'Cos you're a million miles, you're a million miles away No, you don't make it any easier Easier to fall in love with you I know the words you've been wanting me to say But you're a million miles away A million miles away... They say it don't matter if you're here or there But they don't like someone who's a million miles away No, you don't make it any easier Easier to fall in love with you I know the words you've been wanting me to say But you're a million miles away A million miles away... A million miles away...

Across The Runway 03:15
lyrics

Your face looked a lot like another I knew many years ago Your smile made me melt like a young boy Finding love for the first time In the rush I lost you So many people running inside Just when I had given up I saw you wave from the other side Maybe a reason to leave it all behind Maybe I should have tried harder that day I saw you smiling at me from the other side Maybe your love was waiting across the runway I spent so much time talking to you That long hot December day Waiting together for hours And never short of things to say I was too caught up in your beauty I never thought to ask your name I wanted to see you another time Were you thinking the same? Maybe a reason to leave it all behind Maybe I should have tried harder that day I saw you smiling at me from the other side Maybe your love was waiting across the runway Lights went down, noise came up A sea of people came alive And I never got another chance To see you wave from the other side Maybe a reason to leave it all behind Maybe I should have tried harder that day I saw you smiling at me from the other side Maybe your love was waiting across the runway Across the runway... Across the runway... Across the runway...

The Night I Lost You 03:31
lyrics

You gave it away, there was no smile You said I hurt you and you'd been hurting for a while You gave it away, I saw you cry Your eyes full of tears and I was tearing up inside Asked you to give me another chance But you wouldn't let that be My bed feels too big now It's empty where you were beside me On the night I lost you I saw the brightness turn to blue And all my dreams, they wouldn't come true That was the night I lost you You left me that night as rain came down Had to be alone, alone is what I am right now You left me that night to be on your own My heart was empty, it's an empty feeling when I get home On the night I lost you I saw the brightness turn to blue And all my dreams they wouldn't come true That was the night I lost you I can't live with you, 'cos you won't try I can't live without you, every minute I wonder why Why? On the night I lost you I saw the brightness turn to blue And all my dreams they wouldn't come true That was the night I lost you On the night I lost you Nobody told me what to do And you don't know what I went through That was the night I lost you

Euphoria 03:06

Our dreams come alive tonight in a faraway place I can see the joy in your eyes and the smile on your face Take my hand, run across the sand, it's great to be alive Everybody needs euphoria Well I know I do... It's the time of my life with you by my side... in this other world I took a picture of you with the sky so blue... in this other world A sunny day by the sea, we are feeling free... in this other world Because here, the bad times disappear Our dreams come alive tonight in a faraway place I can see the joy in your eyes and the smile on your face Take my hand, run across the sand, it's great to be alive Everybody needs euphoria Well I know I do... I do... It's taken so many years to get past my fears and I'm glad I have Yeah it's been so many years finding my way here and I'm glad I have Because here, our love will only grow Don't wanna leave, I wish that we could stay Can we stay? Our dreams come alive tonight in a faraway place I can see the joy in your eyes and the smile on your face Take my hand, run across the sand, it's great to be alive Everybody needs euphoria Well I know I do... Yeah I know I do...

Come Home 04:10
lyrics

You needed me most that day I was a thousand miles away I could hear your voice but I couldn't touch you You cried to me on the line Could feel your tears run with mine I could feel the love but I couldn't touch you Having the time of my life But feeling incomplete You knew I was missing you And that's when you said to me... Come home, come home Baby come home, it hurts when we're apart Come home, just come home Take me in your arms again, heal my aching heart Some people are meant to be And you were the one that melted me When someone would let me down I'd know you would be there It's always a lonely day When your lover's half a world away But when I'd dream at night I'd know you would be there Having the time of my life But feeling incomplete And though you were far away I smiled when you said to me... Come home, come home Baby come home, it hurts when we're apart Come home, just come home You don't even know how much I miss you now Come closer Oh, let me take your hand and bring you home tonight Come home, come home Baby come home, it hurts when we're apart Come home, just come home You don't even know how much I miss you now

The Death Of Me 03:09
lyrics

I was walking home with you that summer night It was then I knew that I was living a lie I didn't wanna break another's heart But from your smile I knew that something was on your mind And the mischievous look in your eye... You told me I made you smile You stayed with me for a while That night I lived dangerously Oh love, you'll be the death of me! You're gonna, gonna, gonna be the death of me I was drowning in a sea of alcohol And the room was spinning right before my eyes Don't wanna go to hell for my bad ways So I said to you "this would not be wise" You told me I made you smile You stayed with me for a while That night I lived dangerously Oh love, you'll be the death of me! You're gonna, gonna, gonna be the death of me As I watched you walk away that summer night I was sure I would be hearing from you again Will I then be a weaker man? You told me I made you smile You stayed with me for a while That night plays in my memories Oh love, you'll be the death of me! You're gonna, gonna, gonna be the death of me

Even Heroes Have Bad Days 03:38

That morning I woke up to the worst news in the world - you'd gone I couldn't believe that you would never sing again, oh no That morning I broke down, didn't want to face the day alone I couldn't believe that you had been in so much pain, oh no You can fight against your demons but sometimes you can't win Sometimes we cry And there's no one to hold us, hold us close Sometimes we fall And there's no one to pick us up and help us on our way Sometimes we're lost And there's no one to guide us, guide us home Sometimes we need help Even the best of us, the best of us 'Cos even heroes have bad days When I was feeling down I'd find myself listening to you You'd lift me out of my haze and give me a reason to smile again When I had lost myself your words would be in my mind, so true I know you had lived your life trying to fight the hurt inside You can save so many people, but sometimes not yourself Sometimes we cry And there's no one to hold us, hold us close Sometimes we fall And there's no one to pick us up and help us on our way Sometimes we're lost And there's no one to guide us, guide us home Sometimes we need help Even the best of us, the best of us 'Cos even heroes have bad days

My Last Summer 03:14

You tell me it's not too late to change - I would like to believe I've still not found my place in life, maybe now I can Dark times may come along But right now they're not around I don't think about yesterday I won't think about yesterday Time catches us all I never jumped, I was afraid to fall But I don't want to look back any more This is my last summer I've tried my best to be beautiful in body and soul I've seen the colours I wanted to see, just a fleeting glimpse, and I've felt the love I wanted to feel, all too quickly Time catches us all I never jumped, I was afraid to fall But I don't want to look back any more This is my last summer I've tried not to be invisible I've tried hard to make it in this world I don't think about yesterday I won't think about yesterday Time catches us all I never jumped, I was afraid to fall But I don't want to look back any more This is my last summer Sunny days, amazing nights This is my last summer Sunny days, amazing nights This is my last summer Sunny days, amazing nights This is my last summer

I hold you in my arms, it takes away all of our fears And hear those special words as they are whispered into my ear We only get to feel each other's touch this time of year Our love is magic, together in this place Our love is real, it will never die Our time is short but filled with happiness And beautiful memories I spend these sunny days with the one girl I hold dear And hear an angel's voice that only sings this time of year Our love is magic, together in this place Our love is real, it will never die Our time is short but filled with happiness And beautiful memories We're far from home I don't wanna go home again I just wanna stay with you Stay in this time and place and spend eternity Not just this time of year Not just this time of year... Our love is magic, together in this place Our love is real, it will never die Our time is short but filled with happiness And beautiful memories And as you disappear, my love, I know I'll shed a tear But I will see again the love in your eyes this time of year This time of year

Never Alone 04:01
lyrics
buy track
I'd hold your hand as you screamed it wasn't fair I'd hold your hand as you cried that no one cared I would say it was all right But that was me telling lies I'd watch you hurt, spirit fading by the day I'd watch you hurt, didn't know what words to say The look of defeat in your eyes Grew stronger as weeks went by Why didn't I cry? Why didn't I cry? You were never alone You were never, ever alone All through the good times and the bad You were never alone I'd watch you hurt, saw the rage inside of you I'd watch you hurt, didn't know what I could do To make your pain disappear Now it's you that's disappeared Why couldn't you stay? Why couldn't you stay? You were never alone You were never, ever alone All through the good times and the bad You were never alone You were never, ever alone And now it's too late, I have watched you slip away So I miss you now as I fall to sleep That precious time in your company Left alone with only memories Once again I miss you now You were never alone You were never, ever alone All through the good times and the bad You were never alone You were never, ever alone And now it's too late, I have watched you slip away Never ever, never ever You were never ever alone

My home is to the left of me It's never been so far away I like it, I like it, part of me wants to stay Unknown people smile at me So courteous, so friendly I like it, I like it, part of me never wants to leave You can dream or you can take a chance today Don't hide in the dark, pack your bags and fly away Hey now I'm very far from home now I'm glad I'm not alone now There's a whole other world A world that I've been hiding from A world of dreams A world that I can get out and see Tonight I think I'll go explore See what new sights I can find I'm leaving, I'm leaving inhibitions behind Skyline, a city lit up at night A country boy will miss this view I'm leaving, I'm leaving, enjoyed this time with you Don't let every day slip away Hey now I'm very far from home now I'm glad I'm not alone now There's a whole other world A world that I've been hiding from A world of dreams A world that I can finally see Hey now I'm very far from home now I'm seeing a new world now A bigger, better world now Wanna come with me?

Don't Wait Forever 03:54
lyrics
buy track
The thrill of the chase is all you've known The thrill is what you've been living for It's killing you You know you are feeling incomplete You know it's how you've always been And it's killing you But maybe you can find someone to love and look after you No, don't wait forever Forever's a long time when you're alone No, don't waste your life Just don't The tick of the clock is what you hear The tick that's getting faster now It's haunting you The lines on your face are what you see The lines that mean your youth is gone And it's haunting you But maybe you'll wake up and change your ways before it's too late No, don't wait forever To find someone who isn't real No, don't waste your life Trying to work out how you feel No, don't wait forever The years are flying right by No, don't waste your life Just to die all alone All alone... No, don't wait forever Forever's a long time when you're alone No, don't waste your life Just to die all alone

about

The follow up to 2016's "Time Is My Worst Enemy", "A World Away From You" largely deals with the dilemma of being separated from the people you love and care about, as well as the desire to get out and see the world before it's too late.
These songs are the most personal I've ever written
"Even Heroes Have Bad Days" dedicated to Chester Charles Bennington, 1976-2017.
