Collective Soul - Hints, Allegations & Things Left Unsaid



Shine

Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find

Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find

Oh, heaven let your light shine down

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there

Oh, heaven let your light shine down


Goodnight, Good Guy

Somebody told me about a worn out distraction

That I had let slip away

Then it comes back and rides my shoulders

And burdens me every new day

Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out

And try to figure out how to do without you

Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning

Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning

Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's

All right

Well goodnight, good guy

I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder

If faith will carry me along

But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and

I can only stay so strong

Well I'll just sit here like a wounded soul

Who's finding it difficult to just let go

I'm gonna let you sleep

I'll let you fade off in the night

I play the Lord to keep

I pray the Lord to hold you tight

Goodnight.


 Wasting Time

Something's going wrong inside of you

Burdens bearing down and seeping through

Well, I don't want to bleed anymore for you

And I don't want to breathe any hatred too

Sitting while you world just floats around

Now you want to move 'cause it's crashing down

Well, I don't want to sing you guarantees

And I don't want to cling to our use to be's

So take your heart, take your soul

Just get yourself on out of here

Yeah, take your hurt, take your pain

Just get yourself on out of here

Wasting time

That's all you'll do if you're waiting for me

Wasting time

I don't see what you think I see

Wasting time

That's all you'll do if you're waiting for me

Wasting time

I don't want what you think I need


Sister Don't Cry

Overseas through the air

Touched your heart down with care

All the thoughts left behind

Soon will catch you in time

Well, if I could, you know I would

Let salvation reign on you

So, won't you push away

All this pain that you've been through

Yeah, Sister don't cry

Sister don't cry no more

Sister don't cry anymore

While the scenes shuffle 'round

Let your world anchor down

Pull your heart from your sleeve

First react then believe

You won't always get thunder

To warn you of storms ahead

So bury all this pain

And get on with your life again

Conquer some serenity

Lay yourself in field of poetry

Close you eyes to all you see

Lay your weary head here with me


Love Lifted Me

Wait just a second now

Love's easier Lost than found

So learn baby learn

It's time to up and turn the other way

Yeah peace baby peace

It's past time to release and fly away

Once I was down and couldn't see

Then love lifted me

Yeah love; it was love

I believe that love lifted me

Hush not another sound

Time to move up to higher ground

Now time baby time

No longer's on our side so make a way

To ride baby ride

And pull me upon high and fly away

Don't push me, don't shove me

Don't make me go down in flames

Pull me to safety and help me

To feel no more pain

Come on just lift me up


 In A Moment

The walls came up as the thoughts went down

To the hush of disparity

Sure we know the problem lies

With some insecurities

But we'll never see eye to eye

As long as our tongues are tied

And we'll never be seen as one

Until we find love

In a moment it could happen

We could wake up and be laughing

In a moment it could happen

We could forgive and be happy

It's a shame our world responds to life

As a puzzle in disguise

I wish our course would lead us towards

The peace and loving kind

But we'll never walk hand in hand

Until we let old wounds mend

And we'll never sing songs as one

Until we find love

In a moment some wisdom could be learned

In a moment new voices could be heard

In a moment we could make heads turn

In a moment we could change


Heaven's Already Here

Wake up to a new morning

Got my babe by my side

Now I won't yield to new warnings

'Cause I got my piece of mind

Who's gonna bring me heaven

When heaven's already here

No more living in darkness

Now that love lights my way

I don't need any new changes

To make me love today


Reach

Should I thirst for knowledge

Can I beg you for some water

Should I fight your battles

Can I rest upon your shoulders

I hope I'm able to ride out this storm

So come on Gabriel and blow your horn

Reach, Reach out to me

Can't you see I need you to save me

Yeah, Reach, Reach out to me

Can't you see I need you to hold me

Should I beg for mercy

Can I be the one you treasure

Should I question knowledge

Can I have all of your answers

I hope I'm able to find love today

Can I ask you to light my way

Reach, Reach out to me

Can't you see I need you to guide me

Yeah, Reach, Reach out to me

Can't you see I need you to love me

Take me out of these walls

Take me somewhere I can see

Take me away from it all

Please just reach out to me


Breathe

Down by sea

I think I saw (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Our love dissolve

So plant a little seed

Soon it starts growing

Shed a little light

Soon we'll be glowing

Hear a little tune

Soon we'll start singing

Give a little love

Then love will start breathing

Out by the bay

I long to be (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

A man of peace

I'm gonna breathe love

Yeah, I'm gonna take a deep breath for you

Come on now people

Come on now breathe


Scream

Push me to the left, hold me to the right

I never know where to go

Burning that trail to the promised land

You're moving on out of control

Well I don't want to be some puppet on a string

And I don't want to learn of things you can't explain

And I don't want to have your views on everything

I just want to scream

Scream about hurting

Scream about mercy

Scream about something

Scream about nothing

Drop me in the hills, leave me in the plains

Give me some room to breathe

The words you spill, the moves you make

I find them all hard to believe

Well I don't want to be statistic industry

And I don't want to give when all you share is greed

And I don't want to have one more enemy

I just want to scream

There you go with all your might

Giving promises by decree

Well God is great and God is good

But God you'll never be

Well I don't want to be in your hospitality

And I don't want to live in false reality

See I'm the one obsessed with truth and honesty

I just want to scream


Burning Bridges

Been thinking a lot about my ways

Guess I'm trying baby

Been searching out a way to say

Guess I'm sorry baby

This time I give all to you

It's time I prove something to you

So I'll lift you up and hold you near

Warm your heart and calm you fears

See I don't want to lose this love I found

So I'll burn my bridges, burn them down

Been hurting a lot without you here

Guess I need you baby

Been sleeping upon a bed of tears

Guess I miss you baby

This time I give all to you

It's time I prove something to you

Take all my world and shake it

Take my dear heart and embrace it

Take what I say and listen

My world's changing, changing for you


All

Watch my world spin round

It stops for you

I'll give you heaven for a view

I set my sights on high my aim is true

I'd walk on water just for you

All is all I can give you

All is all I can do

All is all I wish for when I'm with you

Come lay your troubles down

Rest here with me

My kingdom is all yours to receive

Well, I'll push the clouds away

So you can have sunshine

I'll give you anything that your heart desires
