1.	Heavy Hearts 04:33	lyrics	buy track
We’ll see tonight if words can come out right With heavy hearts and years on our minds Trying harder to get myself back on my own side again If I can find words to puncture the quiet Needed time to see that I tried To hold it down and keep it all inside We’ll see tonight if words can come out right With heavy hearts and years on our minds Trying hard to just get my voice out, afraid I’ll forget the words One more might free me from my own nerves Needed time to see that I tried To hold it down and keep it all inside We’ll see tonight if words can come out right With heavy hearts and years on our minds Needed time To be free Tonight We’ll see tonight, tonight With heavy hearts
2.	Keep Your Head Down 03:13	lyrics	buy track
If I’m distant it’s because I’m not really around Eyes on the sun, I’ve got my head in the clouds No time to wait for anything again No, time won’t wait for us now Keep your head down Let’s see you tough this out Grin and bear it You have to live without All our hearts Still waiting for the start All our hearts The pangs in your heart and aches in your back Won’t make you stronger when everything it’s all bad Keep your head down Let’s see you tough this out Grin and bear it You have to live without All our hearts Still waiting for the start All our hearts All our curses won’t break this curse and Another year is here
