I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
And with my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeah
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence?
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
Lock the doors
'Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war, we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence?
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
Tower over me
Tower over me
And I'll take the truth at any cost
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
I scraped my knees when I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
Turn it off in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
The tragedy it seems an ending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts in for solutions
Just to come out the hero
Well, I can see behind the curtain
The world's cranking, turning so wrong
The way we're working
Towards a goal, that's not existent
It's not existent but we just keep believing
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
Just turn it off in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
Just turn it off again, again, again, yeah
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I climb, I slip, I fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love
And I, I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way
I climb, I slip, I fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love
And I, I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way
I climb, I slip, I fall
Into your empty hands
But I lay here all alone
And when it rains
On this side of town it touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that it's not the reason
You don't see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
And when it rains
Will you always find an escape?
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And you'll sleep 'til May and you'll say
That you don't want to see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
Take your time
Take my time
Take these chances to turn it around
(Take your time)
Just take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around
(Take my)
Just turn it around
And oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh I need an ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
You can take your time
We tried so hard to understand, but we can't
We held the world out in our hands and you ran away
It takes some time to let you go and it shows
'Cause all we know is falling, it falls
Remember how 'cause I know
That we won't forget at all
Now we can follow you back home but we won't
Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?
It takes some time to let you go and it shows
'Cause all we know is falling, it falls
Remember how 'cause I know
That we won't forget at all
You never, you never said
This wasn't what you wanted
Was it, was it?
This isn't what you wanted
This isn't what you wanted
'Cause all we know is falling, it falls
Remember how 'cause I know
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I Will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause theres no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
[X2]
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Into Your Empty hands
but I Lay Here All alone
I settle down a twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well, you would have never known
I had it all, but not what I wanted
'Cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown
You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More, more, more, more
Open your eyes like I open mine
It's only the real world, life you will never know
Shifting your way to throw off the pain
Well, you can ignore it, but only for so long
You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More, more, more, more
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So I'll do it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
You won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more
Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well, it's a shame I'm a dream
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white reruns
That escaped from the mouth, oh, oh
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
And all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out, out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, no no
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
And never making a single sound
I'm not used to it
But I can learn
There's nothing to it
I've never been happier
Never been happier
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, oh no
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling (I've got a feeling)
That you would sing it back to me
You would sing it back to me
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, oh no
No one (no one) is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
You’ve come to tell me something
You say I ought to know
He don’t love me anymore
And I’ll have to let him go
Well you say your gonna take him
Oh but I don’t think you can
Because you ain’t woman enough
to take my man
Woman like you their a dime a dozen
You can buy them anywhere
For you to get to him
I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body
So get out while you can
Because you ain’t woman enough
To take my man
Sometimes a man’s caught lookin
At things he don’t need
He took a second look at you
but he’s in love with me
well I don’t know where that leaves you
oh but I know where I stand
Oh you ain’t woman enough
To take my man
Woman like you their a dime a dozen
You can buy them anywhere
For you to get to him
I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body
So get out while you can
Because you ain’t woman enough
To take my man
Now you ain’t woman enough
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh ohoh oh
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh oh oh
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I
Can't reach
You know I can use somebody...
You know I can use somebody...
Some one like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers
Under covers of the streets
You know I can use somebody... oh
You know I can use somebody...
Someone like you
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh ohoh oh
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh oh oh
Off in the night
While you live it up
I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's going to make you notice... oh
I hope it's going to make you notice...
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Oh ohoh ohoh
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around
Meet me here beneath the burning skies
Where the ocean comes and takes us from all of our lies
You never said that you were coming back
I have waited although I have found the place you hide
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care
I imagine what it must be like
To have everything you need and not be satisfied
Run the water until it burns
And you cant see through the waves that crash into your prey
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
Going under
Getting close to what we cannot recognize
Floating face down in the lies
Here we are without a trace
But the lies we used to blame
and you're so far away
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
I heard you driving in my car then in a frozen bar
And I claimed I didn't care for you
But your verse got trapped inside my head
Over and over again, you played yourself to death in me
I thought I'd drop you easily but that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tic
So you invade my sleep and confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch
Stuck on you till the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you till the end of time
You've got me paralyzed
Holding on the telephone, I hear your midrange moan
You're everywhere inside my room
Even when I'm alone I hear your mellow drone
You're everywhere inside of me
Stuck on you till the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you till the end of time
You got me trapped inside
I can't escape your incessant whine
When you beam it out all across the sky
No, I can't escape
(Stuck on you till the end of time)
Your insipid rhyme
(I'm too tired to fight your rhyme)
When you shoot it deep
(Stuck on you till the end of time)
Your lies are bleeding through your teeth,
And your eyes are the only ones filling me,
Your promises never really meant a thing,
But they flew from your lips, so easily,
Stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay away
stay stay stay, stay away from me
stay stay stay stay away, away
It's not best for your heart,
The glass that rips your word apart,
Is this the guilt that keeps you up at night while your in bed?
When you can sleep sound honey I'll return to attack,
oh stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
( stay stay stay, stay away from me )
stay stay stay stay away
(away)
I never was too good with goodbyes,
You made it easy when you couldn't preside it,
With all the evil that you provided,
You still put the good in goodbye,
And goodbye ( and goodbye )
Stay away, stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay away from me
1, 2, 3, 4
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See, I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
And run from them, from them
With no direction
Run from them, from them
With no conviction
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles
But now I'm told that this life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Someone care to classify
A broken heart and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh, you are not useless
We are just misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one role
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
You escape like a runaway train
Off the tracks and down again
My heart's beating like a steamboat tugging
All your burdens,
on my shoulders
In the mourning, I'll rise
In the mourning, I'll let you die
In the mourning, all my worry
Now there's nothing but time that's wasted
Words that have no backbone
Now it seems like the whole world's waiting
Can you hear the echoes fading
In the mourning, I'll rise
In the mourning, I'll let you die
In the mourning, all my sorry
And it takes all my strength
Not to dig you up, from the ground in which
you lay
The biggest part of me
You were the greatest thing
And now you're just a memory to let go of
In the mourning, I'll rise
In the mourning, I'll let you die
In the mourning, all my sorry
Well I'll been afraid of changing cuz I built my
life around you
This time it's bolder children get older
I'm getting older soon so
Well I'll climb a mountain and I turn around
and I saw my reflection in snow covered hills
Landslide brought me down landslide brought
me down
In the morning I'll rise
In the morning I'll let you die
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same
We're the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same
Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
And if you're listening, I miss you.
And if you hear me now, I need you.
Where did you go?
'Cause you're not gone
Everyone knows that something's wrong
The wires were cut and I'm alone
I know we're getting closer
I know you're coming back for me this time
This time.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
And it's okay, there's always another day.
Your voice comes in and now it's fading,
I can't believe this is so frustrating.
'Cause you never seem to understand
And you always slip straight through your hands
And how does it feel to be alone?
I know we're getting closer
I know you're coming back for me this time
This time.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
And it's okay, there's always another day.
If you ever find what you were looking for
I will be waiting there, I will be there
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
I've hoped for change and it gets better everyday
I've hoped for change but still I feel the same
There's something wrong 'cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We're doing fine and it gets better every time
We're doing fine but I'll let you decide
There's something wrong 'cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I'll confess that I can be a little selfish
Yeah, I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again
And we've got everybody singing
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I'll confess that I can be a little selfish
I can, I can, yeah, I'll admit
I don't want you to get me through this
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Without you
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
You say the sweetest things and I
Can't keep my heart from singing
along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
to this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I've gone to far to come back from here,
but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song,
so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song,
so I won't sing..
I never let love in
so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea, the more I sink into this 4/4 beat
I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)
I've gone to far to come back from here,
but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
I've come to far to get over you,
and you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Can't someone stop this song,
so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song,
so I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me if I don't sing
It creeps in like a spider
Can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing along?
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing?
Your lovesick melody
is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me, no
You won't get to me 'cause I won't sing
And here we go again with all the things we said
And not a minute spent to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back these words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore, we meant
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say, I'm sad to see you go
'Cause I'm not, well, I'm not
And here we go again with all the things we did
And now I'm wondering, just who would I have been
To be the one attached at all time to your hip
Forget the things we swore, we meant
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say, I'm sad to see you go
'Cause I'm not, well, I'm not
I'll write you, to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say, I'm sad to see you go
'Cause I'm not, well, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
And here we go again with all the things we said
And not a minute spent to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
maybe if my heart stops beating
it wont hurt this much
and never will I have to
answer again to anyone
please don't get me wrong
because I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
but now I feel like I don't know you oh
one day you'll get sick of
saying that everything’s alright
and by then I’m sure ill be
pretending just like I am tonight
please don't get me wrong
because I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
but now I feel like I don't know you oh
let this go
let this go
ill never let this go
but I cant find the words to tell you
I don’t want to be alone
but now I feel like I don’t know you
and I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
that now I feel like I don't know you
somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
if we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
if only time flew like a dove
we gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming 'hallelujah'
we'll make it last forever
holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
if only time flew like a dove
we could watch it fly and just keep looking on
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming 'hallelujah'
we'll make it last forever
and we've got time on our hands
and we've got, got nothing but time on our hands
got nothing but, got nothing but
got nothing but time on our hands
this time we're not giving up
oh, let's make it last forever
screaming 'hallelujah'
'hallelujah'
'hallelujah'
take this time to realize
that you always shut your eyes
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and I think that it's time
this battle must be won
but you pushed it aside
pushed it aside
pretend that it's gone
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
take this time to realize
that you always force a smile
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and I think that it's time
this battle must be won
but you pushed it aside
pushed it aside
pretend that it's gone
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
and it never ends
it never ends
and it never ends
and it never ends
no, it never ends
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over, it's over
Close your eyes and make believe
This is where you wanna be
Forgetting all the memories
Try to forget love 'cause love's forgotten me
Well, hey, hey, baby, it's never too late
Pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be as distant as stars
Reminiscing, your heart's been wasted on me
[Chorus]
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy, don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
My little decoy!
Living life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you
Just cause you're into me
Well, hey, hey, baby, it's never too late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and no, I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
[Chorus]
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy, don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
I'm not sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry)
No, I won't be sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry, no)
I'd do it over again
(Don't look so blue)
My little decoy
(You should have seen right through)
My little decoy
(You've never been so used)
My little decoy
(As I'm using you)
So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
We'll always know that you shine brighter than anyone does
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
If you run away now
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)
I used to be so quick, so clever
I used to know myself much better
cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
temporary, it never hurts to try
and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over
now I'm a walking contradiction
so tell me what's wrong with this picture?
cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
temporary, so don't hurt me this time
and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over
so give it up, just give up
give it up, give up
give it up, just give up
give it up, give up
and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over
Take this time to realize
That you always shut your eyes
In the midst of a trial
And everything is always right
And I think that it's time
This battle must be won
But you pushed it aside
Pushed it aside, pretend that it's gone
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
Take this time to realize
That you always force a smile
In the midst of a trial
And everything is always right
And I think that it's time
This battle must be won
But you pushed it aside
Pushed it aside, pretend that it's gone
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
And it never ends
It never ends
And it never ends
No, it never ends
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
No sir, well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat
We're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide, you have made it harder
Just to go on
And why, all the possibilities
Well, I was wrong
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel
When you're not here?
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here
I still try holding onto silly things
I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I'm sure you've heard
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
Now I can't trust myself
With anything but this
And that's what you get
There's an empty room at the end of the hall
And it's begging to swallow you whole
Each step you take
Makes it easier to fall on your face
Each tear you fake
Makes it easier to see straight through you now
And you're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love
So you hang yourself from stolen dreams
And under the table you hide every stain
Each step you take
Getting closer
Makes it easier to fall on your face
Each death you fake
Getting closer
Makes it easier to love this way now
You're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love
Watch it disappear
The dream you hold so dear
Let it fade, let it fade now
You're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
You're my number one
You're my golden star
I look at Earth from here
Still you don't seem so far
But you will never know
(You will never know)
Oh you will never know
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Do you think of me?
And do you wonder
If we could ever be residing under
Because we will never know
(We will never know)
Until i see you show through
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
I wish i could tell you how i feel
And show you what's inside of me is real
Don't know what i'm waiting for
Can't explain it anymore, yeah
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
No, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
I love,
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
I love,
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
You were my conscience
So solid, now you're like water
And we started drowning
Not like we'd sink any farther
But I let my heart go
It's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one
And come back for the hope that you've stolen
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
I'm only human
I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain
Despite what you're always preaching
Call me a traitor
I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling
(Calling, calling)
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
Well, you thought of strength and solutions
But I like the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose it
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone the world
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lay awake, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And theres nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let go
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
Oh star fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade.
And I won't let you fall away.
From me.
You will never fade away from me.
And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade away.
I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away from me,
You will never...
Too alarming now, to talk about
Take your pictures down, and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence say it aloud
Use that evidence race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Kudos my hero
Leaving all the best
You got my hero
One that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Things are looking up, oh, finally
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me
We always pull through, oh, when we try
I'm always wrong but you're never right
Oh, you're never right
Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, 'most everything
That I would have died for just yesterday, just yesterday
Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
God knows the world doesn't need another band
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
But what a waste it would've been
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost have give up
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, no, oh
It's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
I can't believe we almost have give up
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost have give up
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away
I remember this young guy died and I took his part
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face
Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious
I was looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, there're only doing just fine
I don't wanna stay in place no more, see
Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine
long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might
Something always told me us two would be serious
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
What a shame
We all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
So let the flames begin
So let the flames begin
Oh glory, oh glory
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is what will be, oh glory
Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret, such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all and
Growing beneath it all and
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be, oh glory
Reaching as I sink down into light
Reaching as I sink down into light
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
Well, I won't,
Be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
And I know,
I've said all this so that you've heard it, all before,
The trick is,
Getting you to think that all this was your idea,
And that it,
Is everything that you've ever wanted out of here
love's not a competition,
But I'm winning
I'm not,
Sure what's truly altruistic, anymore,
'Cause every,
Good thing that I do is listed,
and you're keeping score,
Well, love's not a competition,
But I'm winning,
Well, love's not a competition,
But I'm winning,
Or, at least I thought I was,
But there's no way of knowing,
At least I thought I was,
But there's no way of knowing
You know what it's like when you're new to the game,
But I'm not
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you,
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
(Love's not a competition, but I'm winning)
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you, anymore
(Love's not a competition, but I'm winning)
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you, anymore
I won't,
Pink Flowers in her body
Bubble gown floats
I see you and you loved me
Our gaze met
This is more than a novel
To me this is forever
This sit is for you, it just did
You were mad
I was sad
We went out, we always did
She wanted to be alone
At times, we don't understand her
We send gifts, she receive
When she sleeps, we come
If she forgets, we invite
The water gives good things
I knew you and I'm familiar
That was long ago, we're aware
We study and make steps
Making steps to get you
In this small house,
We were not tired
The fence extends our hard work
And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
I opened up my life to you
I told you everything I knew
You listened so close, late too
You listened so close, when love was just a way out
But you're going deaf now
Yeah, you turned your head around
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear you're without me now
You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I put in you
Making me feel like I've been used
And now I'm reminded
That I was just blinded
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear you're without me now
I'm doing fine
You'll be alright
Maybe you'll think of me tonight (hello)
You're doing fine
And I'll be alright
Just give me time, yeah
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
I don't wanna hear you're doing fine now
Don't wanna hear I'm without you now
I'm without you now
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
Please speak softly
For they will hear us
And they'll find out
Why we don't trust them
Speak up dear
'Cause I cannot hear you
I need to know
Why we don't trust them
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
And tell me how
I've lost my power
Were can I turn?
'Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty
I'm so unsure of
Tell me why
I feel so alone
'Cause I need to know
To whom do I own
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
And tell me how
I've lost my power
I thought
That we'd make it
Because you said
That we'd make it through
And when
All security fails
Will you be there
To help me through?
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
And tell me how
I've lost my power, how?
We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you
Your days are numbered at 24
And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you
We're not getting any younger
And I won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
I've got no time for feeling sorry
I tried not to think of what might happen
When your reality it finally cuts through
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road
The worst part is that this, this could be you
You know it too, you can't run from your shame
You're not getting any younger
Time keeps passing by but you waited awake
It's time to roll over
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
I've got no time for feeling sorry
And all the best lies
They are told with fingers tied
So cross them tight, won't you promise me tonight?
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
I've got no time, got no time
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
Got no time
I've got no time for feeling sorry
Take this time to realize
that you always shed your eyes
in the midst of trail
and everything is always right
and i think that its time
this battle must be won
but you push it aside
push it aside pretend that its gone
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
take this time to realize
that you always force a smile
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and i think that its time
this battle must be won
but you push it aside
push it aside pretend that its gone
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
and it never ends
it never ends
and it never ends
no it never ends
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
(The title of this song is Pressure)
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lay awake, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let them go
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
I'm gonna go on
Living like I never met you
And it will feel wrong at first
But I think I can forget you
Ignore the fact that we sleep no more then 3 feet apart
I feel you now your all around me, underneath me
You're all around me, underneath me
Well how was I to know
That what we carved in stone
Would be so temporary
Well how was I to know
That my first crack in luck
Would not be the last
Wont be the last
It's in the air now
Bitter tears and broken hearts
We're Teenagers we count the years, we think were smart
But were not, we don't know anything
So don't ask me where ill go
Cause frankly I don't know
And I don't give a shit
Why must we all make sense
Oh I just wont make sense
For once I'm just gonna live
I'm just gonna live
Teenagers (we don't know anything)
Teenagers (we don't know anything) ohhhhh
Well how was I to know
That what we carved in stone
Would be so temporary(i'm gonna go on)
Why must we all make sense
Oh I just won't make sense
For once I'm just gonna live
