A year ago today we stood
Above this same awakening world
I held you...
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you...
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this...
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again...
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know...
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you...
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
and always is this...
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
I never let you go...
A year ago today we stood
Above this same awakening world
I held you...
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you...
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this...
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again...
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know...
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you...
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
and always is this...
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
This is the day you disappeared
Your hand was steady and I know that your mind was clear
You left a note up on the shelf
Saying "I would rather be anyone but myself"
You took a simple ride across the Great Divide
You left the television on in you room
Your friends were sad although they said "I told you so"
You never really did fit into your skin
The small annoying things you do
All seemed so cute and entertaining when they were new
This kind of honeymoon can't last
I think you knew you wore your welcome out much too fast
I was surprised to see you played the lottery
Your winning ticket you won't need anymore
You were in such a rush you never stopped to check
You jacket pocket on your way out the door
This is your anniversary
I'll light a candle in the window so you might see
This is the day you had to go

I thought I'd write you something to remember me by,
A commemorative for the two years you spent by my side,
But every day is a new mistake,
A new song to be written and erased,
Why would you listen anyway,
Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a big mistake it was saving all my good-byes,
I'm not the type of person to get over it,
It's stuck in the back of my mind along with the time we spent,
Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a big mistake it was saving all my good-byes,
By the end of the year,
You won't even be there,
What a big mistake it was,
I wanted you to be there
Piece it together,
Along with all the rest,
Don't forget to write,
Warm your cold shoulder,
Don't listen to what they say, what they say,
I thought I'd write you something to remember me by,
Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a mistake it was saving all my good-byes,
By the end of the year,
You won't even be there,
What a big mistake it was,
The dawn shines her light
To scare off the night
And the sun from his slumber is woken
The bells are ringing out
As the town crier shouts
Words too strong to be spoken
There's a rumble in the ground
And the air fills with sound
Trumpets in the wind are a' blowing
The townsfolk peep
Through the curtains of sleep
To the sound of the cocks all a' crowin
The winds may blow
Come rain, come slow
Today's for you and me
I gave my heart to you my love
You gave your heart to me
The sun wears a smile
And the clock winks its dial
The clouds in the sky are unfolding
The birds on the wing
Like angels they sing
The heavens are glowing all golden
The crowds all spill out
They cheer and they shout
Banners and flags are a' waving
The flowers all a' bloom
Blow kisses to the moon
As blossom falls on the paving
The wind may blow
Come rain, come snow
Today's for you and me
I gave my heart to you my love
You gave your heart to me
The whole world roars
A chorus of applause
Strangers from Delhi to Dublin
Are swept off their feet
As they kiss on the street
And the waters like champaigne are bubbling
The wind may blow
Come rain, come snow
Today's for you and me
I gave my heart to you my love
You gave your heart to me
Anniversary of love's decay
What is this land, that I have found
Bitter silence all around It's the anniversary
Feel the fear, and sad defeat keeps my fragile haunted peace
On the anniversary through these dark and lovely streets
Drag my raggedy defeat
It's the anniversary, the anniversary
It's the anniversary, how far is hate
Away from this reluctant heated kiss
On the anniversary, the anniversary, the anniversary
Ooh I don't want to feel your kiss no more
I don't want to feel your kiss no more
I don't want to feel your kiss no more
I hang around and stare at the scene
it's unbelieveable and obscene
so fucking decadent and so clean
it's like a fucking film to me
a sudden sound is smashing my ears
a sudden light is feeding my fears
a sudden breeze is drying my tears
and then you're there and talk to me
so tell me do you see what I see?
and tell me do you feel what I feel?
and tell me do you know what I mean?
it's like a fucking malady
I can't believe it happen's to me
I try to run but I cannot flee
I hope you've come to rescue me:
it's a fucking anniversary!
don't try to deny me
don't try to deny me
still hang around here watching the scene
it's very elegant and so green
so fucking chic, you know what I mean
it's like a fucking trip to me
a sudden touch is hitting me hard
a sudden warmth is eating my heart
a sudden feeling tears me apart
are you still here to stay with me?
now tell me do you see what I see?
and tell me do you feel what I feel?
and tell me do you know what I mean?
it fills me up with agony
I can't believe it happens to me
this is not where I wanted to be
I hope you've come to set me free:
it's a fucking anniversary!
don't try to deny me
don't try to deny me
don't try to treat me like that
don't try to treat me like that
Fall and all attendant memories
Crowd the day with unrelated histories
Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies
To hang around each corner
Hang around each street.
Thick with ghosts, the wind whips round in circuitries
Carrying words as strangers exchange pleasantries
Do they intrude upon your private reveries
As they meet you on each corner
Meet you on each street.
Watch for daily braveries
Notice newfound courtesies
Finger sudden legacies
As they clean up every corner
Wash down every street.
Mark the month and all its anniversaries
Put away the draft of all your eulogies
Clear the way for all your private memories
As they meet you on each corner
Meet you on every street.
Make the time for all your possibilities.
It's to you
from me
hope you like it
hope it's alright
for you
from me
you can remember
this is alright
you know just living a lie
sometimes it's never enough
close to you
close to me
it feels good
it feels nice
undressing you
undressing me
does it feel good?
does it feel nice?
you know just living a lie
sometimes it's never enough
back together forever
till death do us part
[I tried very hard on the below part, but I don't think I got much]
know that it's real
with your sky that you feel
and your ready to heal
and your starting to feel it a lot
anyone knows that the scars you have shown
...(?)
...(?)
Put on your red dress
And this diamond necklace
Your love leaves me senseless
I dedicate tonight to you
Cos we made it through another year
My love only gets stronger
And i'll be here the next year
Same time, same place, same girl
They say after the honeymoon, the passion's almost gone
But i feel as thought our love
Has only just begun
It's our anniversary
Celebrating you and me
Nowhere else i'd rather be, oh no
It's our anniversary
A special day in history
I will love you endlessly
It's our anniversary
Put on your best suit
I've got something for you
I'll cover you in kisses
Cos baby i adore you
Your touch leaves me breathless
And i only get weaker
I will be there regardless, for my man
I'm glad you're my man
This day always reminds me of, the reason i'm with you
I'll never search for love again
I've found the truth in you
Forever i'll be here and waiting
(I'll stay the same though times are changing)
We were meant to be together
(No one could love you better)
Got a question for you
(Tell me i'm the answer)
Baby let's stay in love
I love you
Do i look the same to you? 'cause i don't feel so
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Though it feels like yesterday when we first met.
i feel i'm sinking deeper.
Do you look the same to me? Well, i don't think so.
You know everything must change as time goes by
like the flowers that dry, locking inside
forever their beauty
And they said this feeling fades,
it gets stronger everyday
And they say that beauty fades.
You're more beautiful than ever.
They said we'd drift avay.
We're still standing here.
And it feels like everyday is our anniversary.
Well, i stumble through the dark and light a candle
and the path the wax will take, no one can know.
And you said it looked like snow or maybie clowds,
and i think it looks like Heaven
So we make it into a ring and make a mold.
And we melt above the flames the whitest gold.
when hot and cold collide what's left in place
is forever and ever
And they said our love would fade
it gets stronger everyday...
Some say things worth having take some time
As they get older they get better
[Hook]
Do you know what today is?
It's our anniversary, our anniversary
Do you know what today is?
It's our anniversary, our anniversary
[Los]
If lies hurt, but the truth heals
And 1+1 equals love then how does 2 feel
Minus 1 thats so heart broken
Its hard to divide a future unless its both arms open
Jus show trust through your actions
I know its hard to say that ones that got over
Took a fraction of your heart away
I mean its bad enough that when problems multiply
Then someone gets carried, it aint adding up
Why when you say you dont want nobody you see somebody
And when you say you dont need nobody you need somebody
Hard as the concrete but soft as a whisper
Thats the mystery of love in all this enigma
Its like the farther you dive in the harder it hit cha
Now the ones that say they love ya is arguing witcha
Ask VAR and LARISA about them senseless rumors
Real love aint censored just have a sense of humor
Funny what we remember from a kiss
Met on october 30th, then september 25th
In the blink of an eye, in the midst of a minutes time
Shes officially mine, we Mr and Mrs fly
Now its necklaces for Christmas, unlimited kisses
And how eternally precious 1 minute of this is
2 wishes that came true at 1 time
So I dont give my flower no flowers
I give her sunshine
And the rain too to wash away the bad days
To bring the sunshine back for all the sad days
Hope you followin your dreams till you livin em out
If I could provide you one thing it'd be infinite smiles
So smile baby, you be gone lately
When you shine I shine, you motivate me
So waking up next to you feel like I never slept
And laying down next to you make me think I could fly
We comin full circle now with every step
And when I look into your eyes I think of the sky
Best I ever had took away the worst of me
1 year strong happy anniversary
Today is the day that we bought is all together
And I don't want nobody but you baby
Do you know what today is?
It's our anniversary, our anniversary
Do you know what today is?
Oh, until tomorrow, I wear this crooked crown
To balance the power Telling me to dance the night away, now
Dance the night away oh oh oh yeah
I wear this crooked crown
Come close, you've never been so far away my dear
Move your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Shake your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Until tomorrow, I wear this crooked crown
Under the moonlight
Asking me to raise the dead, uh oh oh
Raise the dead, uh oh oh oh oh yeah

Shake your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh Sugar come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh Sugar come on, move your hips, shake your hips

Oh my god you are a dangerous lover
Oh my god you are a dangerous lover
???????? You better run for cover
Oh my god you are a dangerous lover
Bang on the drum isn't loud enough to shake you
Friend you've been warned - you've been told from behind the door
Scream, scream it loud - sing it out make your lover proud
Scream, scream it loud...
Oh you were wrong to keep this king from his tower
Oh you were wrong to keep this king from his tower
Yeah ????? you better run for cover

Traffic in the city turns my head around
No, no, no, no, no
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church
Everywhere you look there's a frown, frown
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
People keep a-talkin', they don't say a word
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door
So much goin' on I just can't hear
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Hurryin' to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

And we run from the sun
And we lust for some trust
And we fight with our eyes
Pull another drink so it's deceiving - Anais
You tried to hide the heart that you've been eating - Anais
I want you - I want you
I've seen those eyes. I've watched them close at night.
And you breathe in and you breathe out again.
Sister's coming over and I'm afraid to tell her secrets that I know.
Painting without colors, it tends to make it better, it bleaches out the world.
Was it the end - the end that kept you up till the morning?
Was it the boy - the boy who stole your heart?
The summer goes on and then dies quick without much warning. All things ordinary.
Will you stay near my now? Don't leave this town until we've figured out,
Between the two of us, we're strong enough - I feel that in your touch.
Full from the dinner, but feeling somewhat thinner, aching in the chest.
Kids behind the windows, calling out the answers to questions never asked.

Us there - the snow is already so thick
You wrote your name across my street
And I remember how the letters look lying there melting
And I can see the star on top of the awkward tree
But now it's seasons past
And a weary October approaches still knowing
It can see farther than the both of us
When everything else looks long
Far away from the night spent swinging on 34th
When the rain made you so still
More quieter than you'd think
And you said when we are older
And you said when we are older
That's enough to make me feel all right when you're gone
I never could feel this way before you
I never understood how this would work
Started without an end
And that's enough to make me feel all right forever
I never could feel this way before you
I never understood how this would work

Well I know feeling strange - sometimes you're feeling strange
Outside she waits
So you know that we couldn't be stopped 100 ships in a parking lot
Where have all the pieces gone?
Looking for the edge of the world
Boy you hated his favorite girl
They would travel sideways - sideways in two's
Life makes fools speak in half-truth
Speak in half-truth - drowning away all our time
I never want to say anything to anyone
I've never meant that much to you
It's time to pack my bags and gather all
All of the courage I feel
To gather all the courage of kings the king of hearts
Only last ????????????
Looking for the edge of the world
Boy you hated his favorite girl
They would travel sideways - sideways in two's
Life makes fools speak in half-truth
Speak in half-truth - drowning away all our time
I never want to say anything to anyone

Fell down in a weak spot
The water always tastes sweet

Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
The man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Mmmm...
If I only had a dollar, for every song I've sung
And every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

As we forget our manners days slow down and I relapse
Dear Dad - I'm having trouble feeling sad
Your words find secret pathways through my spine
Inside my teeth I'll scream - I know that I miss you - I know that I miss you
Inside my teeth I'll scream
Those diamond streets, invisible runways buried beneath
And I was wrong this time - oh I was so wrong
Every other morning I wake up lost and tired from dreaming
As we distill our vision nights grow long - void of real meaning.
Dear Dad - I'm having trouble feeling sad
Your words find secret pathways through my spine
Inside my teeth I'll scream - I know that I miss you - I know that I miss you
Inside my teeth I'll scream
Those diamond streets, invisible runways buried beneath
And I was wrong this time - oh I was so wrong
And Dad you don't know the half of it this time
You told me what was yours would soon be mine
You taught me to no longer be afraid - no longer be afraid
Those diamond streets, invisible runways buried beneath
Everybody's running from a cloud way up in the sky
A human disguise - saw it in their eyes
Everybody's shouting cause they never seen their daddy cry
An ugly surprise when the invincible dies
Ain't nobody gonna shake me off of my feet
Ain't nobody gonna shake me the way I shook myself
Brother's gonna shake that sugar tree down
Everybody's hoping that the poet's gonna give some love
With his iron glove - he's got nothing to see
Everybody's looking for the creature man to give them some peace
But he swallowed his teeth and wants the demons to pay
Ain't nobody gonna shake me off of my feet
Ain't nobody gonna shake me the way I shook myself
Brother's gonna shake that sugar tree down
Oh you gotta believe yeah you gotta believe
Oh you gotta believe
Everybody's running from a cloud way up in the sky
A human disguise - saw it in their eyes
Everybody's shouting cause they never seen their daddy cry
An ugly surprise when the invincible dies
Do you know that I miss you?
Do you know how the hell I feel?
My body has slowed down cause that's how much I care
Pieces of you fall from shady trees
And they heat my soul taking with it some disease
I haven't slept
Now more than ever
I was for you everyday
All that's around me
You know I always look away
When I say you're name it burns in my throat
I lied when I said I would always ?????
The world will change outside my window
Where things always break
I haven't slept since I left
I haven't slept since you
I haven't slept
So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget
So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget
I stepped out of the house today
I walked down where those dead men lay
I stepped out of the house today
I walked down where those dead men lay
Now both of your arms they are broken
So all they can do - they can only stay open
So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget
So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
Well I can think all day and that's keeping me away
From coming home to you
What I want to say - so beautiful are
Now I'm running out of life and making mistakes
??????? in your heart and tears rolling down my face
And tears rolling down my face
By the house that you call home lies the evil and the scared
Pass the saints through the heaven gates - we can hide out there
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight
On the Highland borderline it brings us back when we were kids
Pictures of our dead loved ones - the night is young so don't be scared
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I never thought I would fall over
My feet having pushed underground
But I fell down - yes over
I've been told that lovers shine brighter
I've traveled the darkest of roads
And nearing the end of this chapter the book explodes
Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
Those rings on your hands make the world come together
But it never does turn out right - on goes the fight
Back in my head - back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's four am - all sounds have worn thin
The memories float along
Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
Those rings on your hands make the world come together
But it never does turn out right - on goes the fight
Back in my head - back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's four am - all sounds have worn thin
You're standing off the white church and you're pitching me three words
It yells a name falling off of - off my list of names
Those crashing lights, life is just like that - it's easy to forget
We make plans, and for the second I hit cold as the dirt black night grows close
Who has been painting my roses red?
I have nothing to show for you
I have nothing to show for you
I never wanted to play the fool for you
The dead come out - The beautiful ones are chosen
To dance and shout - Terrified and holding
Onto the one and only thing they ever had
A heart that's not dead but is dying in their hands
Why don't you - you never get tan?
You try and try but you just don't
Your crying eyes they start to bleed
How come I can't get no...
Why don't you - you never get tan?
You try and try but you just don't
Your crying eyes they start to bleed
How come I can't get no sleep?
Your smile grew thin as your family talked
Arrived singing just a holiday song
That didn't stop until you drank too much
How come I'm so out of...
I have nothing to show for you
I have nothing to show for you
You were a castaway from New Orleans
Fought the world to find your dreams, oh yeah
Almost starved to death, 'cause you had no money
Sold your soul for blood and honey, oh yeah
Cars crash and we collide as the siren sings the saddest song tonight
And this is it, how it all comes down
To the love you would leave the streets of your home town
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
I was a cast away from New Orleans
Fought the world to find my dreams, oh yeah
Your heart had to let me go
Now I'd rather die than ever be alone, oh yeah
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
I keep this heart right next to mine
The muscle and bone - they encase my heart but never touch my soul.
I'll save that for the water and its shore, fear makes friends with joy.
And I'll march slowly and I'll never forget
How the music stopped or the feel of your breath.
The flesh and the blood - they keep my body warm but still my mind is cold.
To know what's fair is not always fair, but what proves real will never flee.
And I'll march slowly and I'll never forget
How that black dress fell upon your white neck.
Grand Isle rests quiet this time of year
Walk slowly, the rest of your life, my dear
Sing clearly, the path of the arrow is near
The river will dry up every year
The sun should drink every last tear
It flows above the casket's lear
So lay down, next to your brother
And go blind
Walk slowly, the rest of your life, my dear
How lovely, the ghost of the river draws near
Keep moving, let faith pour out in blood from ear to ear
Burn your money, remember it does you no good 'round here
The river will dry up every year
The sun should drink every last tear
It flows above the casket's lear
So lay down, next to your brother
And go blind
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Oh, Who stole my soul?
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Feeling the time peel away at my life again.
As memories combine, not sure where I've ever been.
'Cause it's the D in Detroit which scars me to no end. I'll count to ten.
When living this down makes so much sense.
We collide - and onward we do fly
We collide - and onward we do fly
Onward - until we hit again.
I kept your picture just behind the eye those weeks when our distance grew.
Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines - thank God I'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone - and sleep through this weather
And girl I hope you're whole again - back home we'll sleep better.
We collide - and onward we do fly
We collide - and onward we do fly
I kept your picture just behind the eye those weeks when our distance grew.
Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines - thank God I'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone - and sleep through this weather
Sweet Marie, there's a hole where your heart should be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
Sweet Marie, there's a hole where your heart should be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
What beautiful lies you've been told
What terrible truths drown your soul
She hides behind all my lies
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need all my love tonight - all my love
Sweet Marie, how cold your body can be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
Such a beautiful kiss in the face of fear
Such a beautiful song burns through your ears
She hides behind all my lies
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need all my love tonight - all my love
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved

Another late night drive by you - I miss you so much
I know it's stupid but I'm saying this to you - I mean it too
Another late night drive by you - I miss you so much
I know it's stupid but I'm saying this to you - I mean it too
I'm seeing double and I know that I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see you standing there
Falling flat on my face - it's the best I can do
I hear you laughing and the smile on your face
is assurance that you need me here
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can do
I'm kind of clueless and I hope you know this
Without each other then my heart will surely break
Another late night drive by you - I miss you so much
I know it's stupid but I'm saying this to you - I mean it too
I'm seeing double and I know that I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see you standing there
Falling flat on my face - it's the best I can do
I hear you laughing and the smile on your face
is assurance that you need me here
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can do
Another summer passes on
You're still with me you're still going strong
Another summer passes on
You're still with me we're still going strong
I'm seeing double and I know that I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see you standing there
Falling flat on my face it's the best I can do
I hear you laughing and the smile on your face
is assurance that you need me here
Blood on the walls the curtain calls
You waited there for no one at all
To the pine and oak trees that stand by your house
And they keep on blowing south to protect you through the winter
Surrounded - we'll never understand
Angel angel angels with your broken wings
Stop asking me sing with those voices I just can't find
A shame to be ashamed now I'm ashamed
Not smarter than the human brain
Just smarter than humans
No - shubat
Lay your arms, strong and unharmed, bend and wave

I got my ways - I got my reasons
I sit for days - got the reasons why
I like to sit around and get high risk my life away
Looks like another nervous breakdown
I can suck it in - and turn another bottle down
I'm late for the second time straight this week today
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Waking up staring at the ceiling as I kling to you to stop this feeling
I'm late for the second time straight this week today
I got my ways - I got my reasons
I can see the days - got the reasons why
I like to sit around and get high risk my life away
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Turn down the headlights and look my way.
We'll tell our parents the best of things no matter how awful they seem.
The sickness of a family.
Trace your eyes, wake and retrieve,
The morning sun can look so mean - the color.
Kiss your head don't say a thing
We'll live forever in books darling.
It's the secrets beneath the leaves I keep with me. I'm falling up and down.
I've known a lot of funny people
The ones that make us laugh
I've known a lot of lonely people
Calling from the past
And in my darkest hour
I find the place where I fit in
Somewhere between the heavens
And the devil's weary grin
I always will be haunted by the ones I've loved
Yes I always will be haunted by the ones I've loved
In my eyes
I've known a lot lovely people
Though they never spoke to me
I've known a lot lovely people
And they never meant a thing
So bring on the piper or the jester's
lonely heart
For even the happy man gets lonely
in the dark
I plan to be high beneath the sea
So don't hold your breath-just breath
We are the ones that make you laugh
Forget about your troubles
Live in peace, pain and regret
And forget all your troubles
We are the ones that make you love
When you have no one at all
Yes we are the ones that make you laugh
Far from our homes
The heat will flash behind the dash
It gathers - such winds blow cold
The fiction of your life's love so deep in the blood
Taking pictures of all of this
Right down the history in the case that we are missed
Far from our homes
The heat will flash
It gathers - such winds blow cold
The fiction of your life's love so deep in the blood
Taking pictures of all of this
Right down the history in the case that we are missed
Throw out the medicine - our lives will enhance
Search out complacency we'll never miss the dance, never the dance
I think I might move from the city
To get away from everyone
Lady we should move from the city
To get away from everyone
Why does your love go numb? (and aim it straight)
There's poison in your blood (and aim it straight)
I shot your heart and set your spirit free
Don't let your love go numb
Troubled man shake off your worries
Or you just might lose your mind
Black bird singing in the country
City love from the blood
Why does your love go numb? (and aim it straight)
There's poison in your blood (and aim it straight)
I shot your heart and set your spirit free
Don't let your love go numb
Why does your love go numb? (and aim it straight)
There's poison in your blood (and aim it straight)
I shot your heart and set your spirit free
Don't let your love go numb
I thought I might move from the city

Clothes make the man and looks
I am nothing but books and heart
Walk like a killer, talk like a priest
This is my dream - my destiny
Those nightmares that you've seen seem like such a dream to me
Scream you wanna go back again a time
Alas the king of sorrow - go off with him tomorrow
Please please tell me what those crazy months were
I can't remember - we prayed for stormy weather
To watch you dance
Silence - as we grow old
And I will never forget who you are
I'm counting things I have forgotten so far
All your patience has withered - withered away
The love beside you will fight and struggle to stay
All your patience has withered - withered away
The love beside you will fight and struggle to stay
Throw your arms up in the air
It's the man who stands behind the curtains who should be feared
And never forget your proof
I saw the stones in her eyes
I saw the shadow of the world turn white
She thought she did it right
The girl who fell across the sea
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth
Husam, who shot your daughter
Asleep in the house of your father
Husam, who shot daughter
The girl who fell across the sea
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
The girl who fell across the sea
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free

Have I taken you for granted?
But I know what matters most to you
In slow motion as you walk on by
Pictures of you forever in my mind
Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tomorrow keeps bringing you down and I'm still right here
Follow me to the end of the sea
Looking out for new ideas
I thought that sometimes dreams come true
When to everyone who's always been there
I'm giving this to you
Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tomorrow keeps bringing you down and I'm still right here
Follow me to the end of the sea
Time is the secret so know as they fall onto you
My hands reach out and into nothing (but your big turning eyes?)
I saw her tonight standing outside - I said too much
One of you screamed my name and I care without anything else
You said - I heard what you said - I loved what you said when you said it to me
You sing - singing that song - when the back seat's singing my mind
Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Stay in the house close all the windows
Now you're searching for fire
Some will say as others are listening
Now it's gone too far
Pale face in white surrounds you
You can never forget
Her body fell into the sunlight
Your broken hands missed
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tomorrow I will bring you down
Tomorrow I will bring you down
Fall through heart - your hands were oh so small
It's the things about this place - tonight we escape
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
(Fall through heart - your hands were oh so small
And we all follow the sun, come everyone, follow the sun (13x)

red die fall to the bottom
like movies making great cinema
being the spiral
like dreams inside my dreams
what's the difference
telling them seems like more work than its ever worth
throw the book and I'm giving up again
CB calls from the graveyard
passing on the news of
tomorrow's bad weather
a dream inside my dreams makes all the difference
gluing up the pages
is anything right
Sound mixed in with discovery
Found an ancient landmark to call home
For this cold war my voice gets dry
Place problems on a shelf to sit and die
Sent off my letter, a stapled picture and one short prayer
And if I said that I've never caused an argument, only a commotion
One million emotions - would you still be here?
Sat on your roof young in eighty-two
How you remember is how it remains
Turn down the light so now I can die
We'll always remember how we remained
How could I possibly describe the way we looked back then?
Falling in love - whether or not it lasts - there's truth in that
Under the water things are much calmer
Under the water there's streets and there's towers
Under the water things are much calmer
Sat on your roof young in eighty-two
How you remember is how it remains
Turn down the light so now I can die
There's beauty inside - there is beauty inside
The darkest of nights - the black and red lights
This ???? has been frozen - the gods have been chosen
They dance in their blood
Your life has been sold - your life has been sold
For your face looks so old - how your face grew so old
Near the city of broken hearts - to the city of broken hearts
But we all fell apart - how we all fell apart
We drive with the devil on our side
We drink the land - it tastes like wine
I never said my love was true
I put that in the hands of you
Communication, no communication - just sex and frustration
You're killing, you're killing, you're killing, you're killing
You're a killer kid, you are a killer kid
But you did what you did - oh you did what you did
We drive with the devil on our side
We drink the land - it tastes like wine
I never said my love was true
I put that in the hands of you
There's beauty inside - there is beauty inside
The darkest of nights - the black and red lights
At the tip of your head - it's black and it's red
How does it feel to be dead?
You know me much better than anyone.
Er, everyone, for that matter
When i say I love you, you know the truth
And when ill say I miss you
Baby you know that thats no lie
Take it out of context
Take it out of my head
You know where you stand
Take it out of context
Take it out of my head
You know where you stand
You'd never know where we'd go its incredible
You'd never know where we'd go to be alone when
You'd never know where we'd go to be incredible now
You'd never know where we'd go its incredible
You'd never know where we'd go to be alone when
You'd never know where we'd go to be incredible now
Be incredible now (be incredible now)
You know me and I'll state the obvious
Your the light, in my life
When i say I need you (say i need you)
You know the truth
Because my hearts not whole when its not beating around you
Take it out of context
Take it out of my head
You know where you stand
Take it out of context
Take it out of my head
You know where you stand
You'd never know where we'd go its incredible
You'd never know where we'd go to be alone when
You'd never know where we'd go to be incredible now
You'd never know where we'd go its incredible
You'd never know where we'd go to be alone when
You'd never know where we'd go to be incredible now
You know me, much better than anyone or everyone in my life
You'd never know where we'd go its incredible
You'd never know where we'd go to be alone when
You'd never know where we'd go to be incredible now
You'd never know where we'd go its incredible
(take it out of context, take it out of my head)
You'd never know where we'd go to be alone when
(you know where you stand)
You'd never know where we'd go to be incredible now
(take it out of context, take it out of my head)
A: "I hope that when you get home the things that we've said are still gonna be said.
Even though we both know our mouths have tendencies to hold back."
B: "I just want you to know that I've tried so hard to explain myself this time.
There's no easy way for me to say what I am, what I'm thinking or what I'm feeling so
forgive me for these actions but the accusations are correct."
So my dear
(Goodnight goodbye)
And it fell
And they pulled his words like her limbs from the rubble
Oh they crushed like lovers fit for battle
And they held a fourth floor burial in her name
And then the rain created rhythms to comfort all the bodies
To wash away her story
And they fell
But the pictures proved to show it all
As her cry dies out along with
The oath they swore would never fall
What I'm thinking or what I'm feeling so
Forgive me for these actions but the accusations are correct
What's that over there moving on the wall
A second glance and it's not there at all
What's that sitting there on the page of my book
It hides behind the words when I try to take a closer look
I can't reach out and grab it but that's ok with me
What's that jumping up and down in the middle of the street
It lingers then it melts into the wavy liquid heat
What are all those dizzy circles in the corner of my eye
They laugh and float away as I look into the sky
Can't get my arms around it but that doesn't bother me
'Cos all I have to do is dream
I see you every place I go
I see you in people I don't even know
I close my eyes and I see you
I open 'em wide and I see you
I see you
Who am I to close my mind from what it wants to see
And who are you to tell the truth and kill my fantasy
Why are all those people always saying things about me
I'm not a loser, I'm just lonely
Yeah I wanna lay down next to you
But I'm not one to complain
Yeah I wanna touch you too
Do me a favor and appease my aching eyes
Won't you please materialize
Play another of your tricks with my sight
Be here in the flesh tonight
What's that pretty little thing crawling up my wrist
Call me crazy, call me a masochist
But I'd rather have you in my mind than completely out of sight
So I'll just go on dreaming for the rest of my life
I see you every night and day
I see you in a million different ways
I close my eyes and I see you
I open 'em wide and I see you
Yeah, I see you

anxiously waiting for our first anniversary

watching you follow me

so where should we go
talk to me
i'm hanging on your words
anxiously waiting for our first anniversary
so many memories just fade away
