You'll know it's time to turn the page when you hear this sound...
[SFX]
Thank you, and enjoy your journey.

Remembering everything
About my world and when you came,
Wondering, the change you'd bring
Means nothing else would be the same.

Did you know what you were doing, did you know?
Did you know how you would move me? Well,
I don't really think so.
But the night came down and swept us away.
And the stars, they seemed, to paint the most elaborate scene to date.

How could we know, that song, this show,
We'd learn so much about ourselves?
From Toledo to Tokyo,
The words were scribed on every page and now there's
Books up on our shelves.

Did you know how you would move us, did you know?
When the light first came upon us and we saw the Everglow?
And the moment's magic swept us away.
And the young man's dream was almost seen so plain...

When was the night that showed us the sign,
Revealed in the sky, to leave all behind?
But where to begin throwing caution to the wind?
We reached for the stars; everything is now
Ours...

Did you know how you would move me, did you know?
Did you know how you would move me? Well,
I don't even think so.
But the moment's magic swept us away.
And it's so close but
We're so far away.

It's so close but
We're so far away.

Two days and I've not slept a wink
These thoughts that I've been thinking
This is the mark I aim to miss again.
You toss and turn, I lie awake,
Who knows what I've been drinking?
Another cheap meaningless kiss to give

From the beginning, dulled down and lost with all its charm,
[I] just wanna wake up, wake up in someone's--
I just wanna wake up, I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, I just wanna wake up.

Six days and I can see the same
Brown eyes in this reflection
Is this the man you'll say I'll be, become?
You toss and turn, I lie awake,
Into the sand we're sinking,
Holding us back from breathing free, I'm done.

From the beginning, dulled down and lost with all its charm,
[I] just wanna wake up, wake up in someone's--
I just wanna wake up, I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, I just wanna wake up.

More than words, [you] keep to yourself,
Like a curse that fares thee well.
One man came, one truth to tell,
All this blame hammers your way to hell.

I've got a feeling it's not the safest place to start.
This heavy breathing... it seems we're better off breaking hearts.
As in the beginning, dulled down and lost with all its charm,
I just wanna wake up, wake up in someone's--
I just wanna wake up, (I just wanna wake up,) I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, (I just wanna wake up,) I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, (I just wanna wake up,) I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up, (I just wanna wake up,) I just wanna wake up,
I just wanna wake up
In someone else's arms.

Lately I'm alright,
And lately I'm not scared
I figured that out what you do to me feels like
I'm floating on air.
I don't need to know right now,
All I know is I believe
In the very thing that got us here
And now I can't leave.

Say anything, but say what you mean
'Cause I'm caught in suspension.

Now I'm wanting this for sure
And I'll beg for nothing more.
I plan all day and drive all night;
I love what's in store.
I can't seem to stop this now,
Even if it's not so clear,
And I'll take what I can get
If you want me here.

Say anything, but say what you mean
When you whisper, "You want this,"
Your eyes tell the same.
We are gaining speed,
I can barely breathe
'Cause I'm caught in suspension.

It's enough for me to get excited,
It's enough for me to feel ...Woah!

Say anything, but say what you mean
When you whisper, "You want this,"
Your eyes tell the same.
We are gaining speed, (suspension)
I can barely breathe (oh please say what you mean)
'Cause I'm caught in suspension, (caught in suspension),
I'm caught in suspension.

Say (say) anything (suspension),
But say what you mean. (oh please say what you mean)
I'm caught in suspension. (caught in suspension)
I'm caught in suspension.
We are gaining speed, (suspension)
I can barely breathe. (oh I can barely breathe)
I'm caught in suspension. (caught in suspension)
I'm caught in suspension.

Say (say) anything, (suspension)
But say what you mean. (oh I can barely breathe)
I'm caught in suspension.

The sun was barely coming up,
my heart was all but slowing down.
but I could barely make out the sound.
It was my personal symphony.

Striking the chords for only me.
There was a coursing all through my veins.
Another chance to get away, oh!

Until this empty place is filled, I’ll keep pretending.

Hey! Wait! Knock me down, and I'll get up again.
Oh! Pain! A remedy that can erase your sting.
I’ll keep holding, and I’ll keep trying,
I feel this fight, it is slowly dying now but i feel painless.


These days and nights blend into one,
but one more night is all I need.
Another chord from the symphony.
To float above the world for now,
to lose control is bliss somehow.
And wring the color from the grey,
another chance to get away, oh.

Until this empty place is filled, I’ll keep pretending.

Hey! Wait! Knock me down, and I'll get up again.
Oh! Pain! A remedy that can erase your sting.
I’ll keep holding, and I’ll keep trying,
I feel this fight, it is slowly dying now but i feel painless.

All these reckless nights, have left me spinning out of control.
Is there not a cure for sorrow?
All these fading lights, have made me search for something more.
Will there be a new tomorrow?

Until this empty place is filled, I’ll keep pretending.

Hey! Wait! Knock me down, and I'll get up again.
Oh! Pain! A remedy that can erase your sting.
I’ll keep holding, and I’ll keep trying, tonight.

Hey! Wait! Knock me down, and I'll get up again.
Oh! Pain! A remedy that can erase your sting.
I’ll keep holding, and I’ll keep trying,
I feel this fight, it is slowly dying now but i feel painless.

Am I alone in this?
Never a night where I could sleep myself 'til day.
We must try [to] figure it out, figure it out.
It won't be that easy; we lost it somehow.

You come over unannounced,
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight just like the ocean needs the waves.

Oh, the night becomes the space that's somewhere in between
What I feel and what I'm told.
Sitting on the shoreline trying to figure it out, figure it out,
To find out the meaning and reach it somehow.

You come over unannoucned,
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight just like the ocean needs the waves.
Fall around me now
Like stars that shine and brighten the way.
I need you here tonight just like it's night; it needs the rain.

The seasons have changed,
The wind, it blows colder now, colder now.
The clouds are raised,
The rain, it falls harder now, all around.

You come over unannounced, (will you come over now?)
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight just like the ocean needs the waves. (I need you here tonight, the sky, it rains)
Fall around me now (so fall around me now)
Like stars that shine and brighten the way.
I need you here tonight just like it's night; it needs the rain. (I need you here tonight, the sky, it rains)

You come over unannounced, (will you come over now?)
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight just like the ocean needs the waves. (I need you here tonight, the sky, it rains)
Just like the stars that fall around me now.

[Oh,...]

"It's magic", she says to me.
My hand to her waist as she approaches sweetly.
It's enough when I see that look in her eyes,
It's enough for me to paralyze.

Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Well nothing feels good being under the gun.
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.

"It's tragic", she says to me.
A song in the air, we're together floating.
What I miss everyday since our goodbye,
Was enough for me to realize.

Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Well nothing feels good being under the gun.
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Is it ever going to come?
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Well nothing feels good being under the gun.
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.

So take care what you wish for, for it may come true.
But that September sky, how it whispered "I love you".
But I couldn't take it any longer, no I couldn't stand.

But the nights brought sparks and the sparks brought flames,
And you had to be sure this wasn't one of those games.
But I'm going to show you if you could just give me tonight.

Tonight...

"Its fragile", she says to me.
The hair in her eyes, she removes it smiling.
There's a wound that I know this song could mend,
A step in time for us will never end.

Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Well nothing feels good being under the gun.
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Is it ever gonna come?
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Well nothing feels good, being under the gun.
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Is it ever gonna come?
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.
Well nothing feels good being under the gun.
Oh, I'm waiting for the breakdown.

I'm waiting, for the breakdown.
I'm waiting, for the comedown.

I'm waiting (she says it's magic)
For the breakdown (I'm floating weightless)
I'm waiting (she says it's magic)
For the comedown (here comes the breakdown)
[4x]

We made plans to be unbreakable,
Love was all we knew.
No insurance for the unthinkable,
Blindly get us through.
We've been searching for a lifetime,
Short as it may seem.
Riding on the fumes that spark us,
While igniting dreams.

Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Mistakes we knew...
Do da na na na
Do da na na na na na na na
Do da na na na
Do da na na na na na na na

Driving in the rain to the hospital,
Quiet makes it tense,
What at once just seemed the impossible,
Now makes perfect sense.

We held hands to face the uncomfortable cold,
And lonely room.
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through.

Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Mistakes we knew...
Do da na na na
Do da na na na na na na na
Do da na na na
Do da na na na na na na na

And when we try to think of the life inside,
We found ourselves looking at the world through new eyes.

What can now be said?
Oh, little one on the other side.
Dance until the band stops playing,
Sing with all your might.

Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Don't think about rules we were breaking.
Mistakes we knew...

The list goes on and on.
The list goes on and on.
The list goes on and on...(until end)

Hey,
The world is ending, Don't you even know?
Well how did evolution get so slow?
The grass don't even grow.

Say,
Your body's telling throw it all away.
And hope it never gets to you too late.
This plan is gonna blow.

Everything is better,
And everything is right.
And everything comes together.
And everything's done tonight.
If you cover me.
But the music's much too loud,
To hear this alarm sound.
Too loud, will you cover me?
But the emptiness I've found,
Can't keep me on the ground.
The ground, can you cover me?

Hey,
What's the point in trying to get away?
The never-ending search to find your escape.
It's gonna leave you cold.

Everything is better,
And everything is right.
And everything comes together.
And everything starts tonight.
If you come with me.
But the music's much too loud,
To hear this alarm sound.
Too loud, will you cover me?
But the emptiness I've found,
Can't keep me on the ground.
The ground, can you cover me?

This is the last breath I, I think I'll ever take.
this is the last move I , I think I'll ever make.
Will there be a chance now to figure this out?
And be free tonight.

But the music's much too loud,
To hear this alarm sound.
Too loud, will you cover me?
But the emptiness I've found,
Can't keep me on the ground.
The ground, can you cover me
But the music's much too loud,
To hear this alarm sound.
Too loud, will you cover me?

Here's a night and it shines
And it calls us on and on
So be here by my side and watch the stars
They're ours
Make a wish or just take charge
The moment comes, get lost and go far

I think that we've got what it takes
To get this heart start beating again
So take it all the way
Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
So just let go and fall into it

We began, breathe it in
Here's our change to go for something
So this is where we win
And take the game, no blame
There's a neon light inside that shines
And tearing down the walls in the way

I think that we've got what it takes
To get this heart start beating again
So take it all the way
Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
Deep inside we both know that
Everything's hanging on this moment
Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
So just let go and fall into it

It's cold inside but deep in the night
The light is bright enough to save the weakest ones
But you're in the running
Oh don't you give up, or fade away.

Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
Whoa, whoa
So just let go and fall into it
Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
Deep inside we both know that
Everything's hanging on this moment

Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
Every action has a reaction
Figure out it and make it happen
Whoa, whoa
And our hearts are on The Everglow
So just let go and fall into it

Love, it's the wave I ride
That won't ever reach the shore
Overwhelmed by the tide
And wanting nothing more tonight
Than to take this time
And make it all mine
It's coming around again

Every now and again sometimes
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
And I can do anything
The pain it won't even cross my mind
There is wonder in everything
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Hope, it's the light that strikes
That burns inside of me
It's a blinding light
But somehow I can see again
When I've lost my way
It's becoming very clear
And it's coming around again

Every now and again sometimes
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
And I can do anything
The pain it won't even cross my mind
There is wonder in everything
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Somewhere between the darkest and the light
My spirit takes to fly
The colors fill the sky
And I am free, oh oh
It's coming around again
It's coming around again
It's coming around again

Every now and again sometime
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
And I can do anything.
The pain it won't even cross my mind
There is wonder in everything
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Every now and again sometime
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The rope gets loose, the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Wasted time...
I cannot say that I was ready for this, but
When worlds collide,
And all that I have is all that I want,
The words seem to flow and the thoughts, they keep running,
And all that I have is yours;
All that I am is yours.

(Oh,...)

Painted skies...
I've seen so many that cannot compare to
Your ocean eyes.
The pictures you took that cover your room,
And it was just like the sun, but more like the moon --
A light that can reach it all --
So now I'm branded for taking the fall.

(Oh,...)

So when you say, "forever,"
Can't you see?

...You've already captured me.

Hello again.
This concludes "The Everglow" by Mae.
I hope you enjoyed your journey.
Good night.
