i felt it all the holes are burning still i hold my throat and i'm watching all the laughing pass me by if i could just turn the clock back all this time's left me feeling jaded i nearly lost my mind let me stay here one more moment buried broken glass from window panes fell down on my back yard and i cut my feet got dirt ground in the wound if there's such a thing as a payback how high's the price on my head
August
I'll see you soon
Under yellow moons
Where i'll gather what's left of you
And august
I'm on your side
Or did i speak to soon?
Now we've crossed the great divide
Someday we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Somebody we'll meet beyond the time and the bars
And it will be away from here
August
August of last year
Before the leaves disappeared
Told me you were not the one
August
Something in your eyes
Or was it that you lied?
Told me not to take it to heart
Someday we'll meet beyond the stars
And it will be away from here
Someday we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are
And it will be away from here
Someday we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Someday we'll meet beyond the land that you call miles away
Oh well I did offer
up what once was mine
and I did overcome my grief
through the old in time
forget all that you felt
leave it all inside
I will walk slow
won't se too much later
but will you know
Ohho, yeaheah, yeah
No, no, no
Oh oho
Look in my eyes, baby
And tell me I'm lying, baby
Oh, you're over the edge
With what you alleged
And there is not the slightest truth to it
(And seriously)
I don't know where you been getting all your info from
But you're source might be a little misinformed, yeah
And it's looking like your expert witness ain't that sure
And your judgment's just a tad bit premature
And I don't care what the radio says
That front page gossip, girl is all in your head, oho
And my statement reads my heart stays with you here
Made myself crystal clear
I made it crystal clear
Here my voice, baby (here my voice)
You leave me no choice, baby (I have no choice)
I'm bringing in alibis, defend off your guilty cries (cries)
You're bringing tears to honest eyes
And seriously
I don't know where you be reading all your headlines from
But apparently not a reputable source (oh no no no no)
And it's interesting how so far gone your mind has run
Without ever hearing my side of the story
And I don't care what the radio says
Jazz feezy
T-Minus
August

Tell me why you did it.
Tell me why'd you go.
Tell me how did it work out for the both of us.
Tell me what's the reason, (tell me why you lied)
And I'll explain how you done broke my heart and make this grown man cry.
When night turns into day, I'll feel the same way.
When dust turns into dawn, I can't move on.
And I will still be wishing.
[Chorus:]
I wish I tried a little bit harder.
Wish that I would bother.
Wish that I would be better to (deal with it)
I wish I could hold you once again.
I'm wishing I never had to wait.
I wish everything I did, I did better.
I wish to God I'd kept ya.
I wish that you would ain't never went away.
I wish that I ain't see, that you was doing better.
I wish that you was better with me.
Tell me why the indecision.
When nothing's left to say.
And why am I still missing your presence in my bed.
Why you in my mind still, why you in my dreams.
Why's my reality just never what it seems.
When night turns into day, I'll feel the same way.
When dust turns into dawn, I can't move on.
Cause I will still be wishing.
[Chorus:]
I wish I tried a little bit harder.
Wish that I would bother.
Wish that I would be better to (deal with it)
I wish I could hold you once again.
I'm wishing I never had to wait.
I wish everything I did, I did better.
I wish to God I'd kept ya.
I wish that you would ain't never went away.
I wish that I ain't see, that you was doing better.
I wish that you was better with me.

I wish I could've done a little bit better for the both of us.
[Chorus:]
I wish I tried a little bit harder.
Wish that I would bother.
Wish that I would be better to (deal with it)
I wish I could hold you once again.
I'm wishing I never had to wait.
I wish everything I did, I did better.
I wish to God I'd kept ya.
I wish that you would ain't never went away.
I wish that I ain't see, that you was doing better.
Oh yeah aha no no
They never thought she was worth it
They never did believe
They didn't think...
To be treated like a queen see... all crazy
'Cause you're sitting on top of the world
I know they feel it baby now that you're my girl.
[Chorus:]
You know hearts will be breakin'
'Cause you're no more... takin'
It's a cryin'... they all miss the chances
But now when they're askin' you know just what to say.
Go and tell em stop it, stop it, stop it

Me, baby I promise I'll love you
And I won't put nobody above you
So tell them boy stop it, stop it, stop it
Girl you... the market, market, market ohh.

But they was trigger shy

I picture right of the sky
It's such a miracle to know I never fell in love
And I tell you all the time now that you're mine, oh girl.
[Chorus:]
You know hearts will be breakin'
'Cause you're no more... takin'
It's a cryin'... they all miss the chances
But now when they're askin' you know just what to say.
Go and tell em stop it, stop it, stop it

Gas to a flame, all you to blame,
You should of been more upfront,
Tease me cause for you it's a game, you should be ashamed,
For the way that you did me,
You spark my interest, there where noone and nothing left,
One minute we had love that was pure and strong,
Then suddenly your gone, you still left me here hangin on,
For so long, I'm still wonderin what I did wrong,
And how could you leave, how could you leave my heart when you set it on fire,
And left it burnin burnin burnin burnin burnin burnin with desire,
I'm hotter than galacie, I think that I'm meltin down,
I can't even look you in the eye, without startin to cry,
What am I suppose to do now Waaoohhh,
You took the simple flame and covered it with gasoline,
Put a match up to my heart, and turn the fire on,
Then suddenly your gone, you still left me here hangin on,
For so long, I'm still wonderin what I did wrong,
And how could you leave, how could you leave my heart when you set it on fire,
And left it burnin burnin burnin burnin burnin burnin with desire,
Take me down to the river side and put this fire out,
Cause there's no place that I can turn to nowwww,
You loved me then suddenly your gone, you still left me here hangin on,
For so long, I'm still wonderin what I did wrong,
And how could you leave, how could you leave my heart when you set it on fire,
And left it burnin burnin burnin burnin burnin burnin with desire,
Now your gone, you still left me here hangin on,
For so long, I'm still wonderin what I did wrong,
And how could you leave, how could you leave my heart when you set it on fire,

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Whoa whoa no

We was on a stairway to heaven
Scale of one to ten, we eleven
On our way to bliss from the very first kiss,
We were oh whoa
On our way to goal number one girl
And you became the sun to my whole world yeah
Feeling like we lost it
I don't know what caused it
But it's gone (it's gone)
And I don't know where we went wrong
But it suddenly went bad to worst
It didn't take long
Now I wish we could go back in reverse
And repeat, we could see
Where we first made our mistakes
We could change it, rearrange it
But I know that this can't be
What are we, what are we, what are we
What are we gonna do with a broken love
And how we gonna fix it
How are we, how are we, how are we
How are we gonna find a way to fix it up
Or are we gonna replace it, replace it
This broken love with something new
Replace it, replace it
What are we gonna do with broken love
It's painful, it's crazy
Dealing with these issues on a daily
We went from the top to the bottom
Feature to forgotten
Madly in love to being there just because
We must of been way too good too soon
We aim so high that we landed on the moon
But we crashed and burn down to earth again
I wish I could of stayed on heaven
And I don't know where we went wrong
But it suddenly went bad to worst
It didn't take long
Now I wish we could go back in reverse
And repeat, we could see
Where we first made our mistakes
We could change it, rearrange it
But I know that this can't be
What are we, what are we, what are we
What are we gonna do with a broken love
And how we gonna fix it
How are we, how are we, how are we
How are we gonna find a way to fix it up
Or are we gonna replace it, replace it
This broken love with something new
Replace it, replace it
What are we gonna do with broken love
There's gotta be a way to fix it
There's gotta be a way to give this one last try
There's gonna be a way to make it through the battle
So I'm gonna put it all on the line
Give it all my time
All of my energy is focused to make it be
The way it was
We gonna fall back in love
What are we
What are we, what are we, what are we
What are we gonna do with a broken love
What are we, what are we gonna do with a broken love
How are we, how are we, how are we
How are we gonna find a way to fix it up
I'm telling you
Or are we gonna replace it, replace it
What are we gonna do with this broken love
And how we gonna fix it
Replace it, fix it, replace it
Oh it's this broken love, broken love

Comatose
Paralyzed
I was looking to the heavens for a glimpse of light
I had insomnia
And I was sleeping through the days
My life was lived in darkness when she went away
And I was so cold
Frozen from my forehead to my little toes
Every day was like a lifetime
It was so slow
Only heaven knows
Where my angel go
And it was so hard
Waking up and trying to make a new start
Everyday living was a painfull part
Another day in the life of a broken heart
And then you came ended my darkest moments
When the sun was the lowest
Girl you came and lift me up
And took the weight off my shoulders
The wait is now over and gone
You see my darkest moments seemed to have to come before dawn
Ohhh I was completly numb
I was waiting for a phone call that would never come
And then my eyes were bloodshot
All I saw was red and I could'ntget you out my head
My ego bruised was black and blue
If only you knew
I was so cold
Frozen from my forehead to my little toes
Every day was like a lifetime
It was so slow
Only heaven knows
Where my angel go
And it was so hard
Waking up and trying to find a new start
Everyday living was a painfull part
Another day in the life of a broken heart
And then you came ended my darkest moments
When the sun was the lowest
Girl you came and lift me up
And took the weight off my shoulders
The wait is now over and gone
You see my darkest moments seem to have to come before dawn
And baby I could feel the heart ache in my bones
And I know I could not do this alone
I was broken
And I hadnt seen the sun since god knows when
I didn't know when days ended or start
Another day in the life of a broken heart
And then you came ended my darkest moment
When the sun was the lowest
Girl you came and lift me up
And took the weight off my shoulders
The wait is now over and gone

We started off quick, quicker than a bullet
Cupid at the trigger, so hawty had the bullet
Baseball gloving, fit us like a glove
Blinded by the light of our love
And we was on our way to the finish, record setting time
20 20... sign, wish I could rewind, wish I could go back
Where... happy ever after came too soon
And we were so young and foolish
And we were just run and through it
If I had known better, I would it have let myself go hard so fast
And I wanna go, go, go
Back to the future, back to the future
We started in the end zone, ended in the friend zone
What are we doing here?
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
Moment that I knew you, I knew I would choose ya
Didn't know I'd lose ya
Someone take me back to the future,
Take me back to the future, take me back to the future
And when we do I know exactly what to do with ya
We went from back to the front, started from the top
Hit the ground running when we should have took a walk
... to the deep and none of can see, but we almost drown
And we started at the light at the end of the tunnel
We had a building, turned it into rubble
With too good too fast, too great to last
And now we're done
And we were so young and foolish
And we were just run and through it
If I had known better, I would it have let myself go hard so fast
And I wanna go, go, go
Back to the future, back to the future
We started in the end zone, ended in the friend zone
What are we doing here?
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
Moment that I knew you, I knew I would choose ya
Didn't know I'd lose ya
Someone take me back to the future,
Take me back to the future, take me back to the future
And when we do I know exactly what to do with ya
We gonna slow it down, take our time
Cause we don't wanna fade up before...
Easy does it, nice and smooth
We don't wanna be too soon
And I know we can love on the first date...
But this time baby I'm a stop and kiss you good night
And maybe we can make it this time
And this is why wanna go, go, go
Back to the future, back to the future
We started in the end zone, ended in the friend zone
What are we doing here?
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
Moment that I knew you, I knew I would choose ya
Didn't know I'd lose ya
Cam someone take me back to the future,
Mmm yeah Au Au Au August yeahh ohh
Hearts been broken, Struggling just to find a brand new start
The darkness is closing in, making everyone of my decisions hard
You've been calling, telling me you'd always be there
But it just wouldn't have been fair, to you
And they said that after the storm it'd be bright
That the clouds would give way to the sun
And I know you've been waiting for me to come around
I just needed some time to figure it all out
I was lost, there was no way that I could be what you want
And no way that I could give you my all
My heart wasn't proper, but that didn't stop ya from waiting
Til after, after, after the rain
I had to re-pair, leave behind the pieces and re-build again
Ohh, and yeah I saw you there but there's no way that I could just pretend
That I was alright and okay
I wasn't all good and I had to delay
I needed the water to wash that away
And they said that after the storm it'd be bright
That the clouds would give way to the sun
And I know you've been waiting for me to come around
I just needed some time to figure it out
Cause I was so lost there was no way that I could be what you want
And no way that I could give you my all
My heart wasn't proper, but that didn't stop ya from waiting
Til after, after, after the rain
Let it wash away all my mistakes
Cause I got so many changes to make
See from hating to loving I got to make the adjustment
From the darkness into the rising sun yeah
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting
Almost drowned cause it wouldn't stop raining
Now that all that is gone, I'm ready to carry on
I was lost, there was no way that I could be what you want
And no way that I could give you my all
My heart wasn't proper, but that didn't stop ya from waiting
Til after, after, after the rain
After the rain
Ooh, said after the rain
I can't win, I can't reign.
I will never win this game without you, without you.
I am lost, I am vain.
I will never be the same without you, without you.
I won't run, I won't fly.
I will never make it by without you, without you.
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I without you,
Without you oh oh oh, you, you, you,
Without you
You, you, without you!
Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged, without you.
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can’t take one more sleepless night,
Without you, without you.
I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you, without you.
I can't look, I'm so blind.
Lost my heart, I lost my mind without you, without you.
Oh oh oh, you, you, you
Without you, you, you
Without you
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same without you,
Like the sun trading place with the moon
Like the flower from the earth in the month of June
Like the tears from my eyes that eventually dry
It would happen
Like the beating of my heart in my chest
Will have to stop when I'm laid to rest
Just like I knew that you do what you do
That's why we're through
It was inevitable
Don't even act like you didn't know
That it was inevitable
You should have been faithful,
You should have been holding it down
I guess it's true that nothing really lasts forever
And it would be foolish to stay together
I'm telling you that you should have known
That it was inevitable
It was inevitable
Like the river to the falls
We were bound to come crashing down
Same like summer into fall
We were bound to change
Like the rising tide and the years go by
We were meant to run our course
And like my crying eyes that are finally dry
We had no choice
It was inevitable
Don't even act like you didn't know
That it was inevitable
You should have been faithful,
You should have been holding it down
I guess it's true that nothing really lasts forever
And it would be foolish to stay together
I'm telling you that you should have known
That it was inevitable
It was inevitable
I said you shoulda known it
You shoulda known it
Shoulda saw the signs that you about to blow it
I shoulda known too good would always be
Too different to be true, so true
And yes my broken heart would heal
And I will find a way to cope and heal
And I will get back up and on my way
Like night to day
It was inevitable
Don't even act like you didn't know
That it was inevitable
You should have been faithful,
You should have been holding it down
I guess it's true that nothing really lasts forever
And it would be foolish to stay together
I'm telling you that you should have known
That it was inevitable
It was inevitable
It was inevitable
Don't even act like you didn't know
That it was inevitable
You should have been faithful,
You should have been holding it down
I guess it's true that nothing really lasts forever
And it would be foolish to stay together
I'm telling you that you should have known
That it was inevitable
[Verse 1:]
Maybe if the sun was always bright
Maybe if every chance we made was right
Maybe if the world would stop so we could have more time
Maybe if the flowers always stayed
And if the colours would never fade
Maybe if the stars would always shine
You'd still be mine
[Chorus:]
Cos for us to be together
And for us to be forever
And for our two hearts to even start recovery
It would have to be
Cos we tried our hand at love
But see love just ain't enough
For you and me the world would have to be a perfect perfect perfect perfect world
Ohhh
Obviously flawless
It'd have to be a perfect world
Ohhh
It'd have to be a perfect world
[Verse 2:]
See maybe if I never had to be away
It's not like the movies... if it was I'd stay
Maybe if it didn't hurt so bad to see your face
Maybe if the clouds were never dark
It feels like we were destined to fall apart
And maybe if the road was no so long
We'd be much further
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
We almost made it all the way we did
Ohhh
I really thought that you'd be the one I'd end up with
And you know...
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
Ohhh
You want somebody down from the very start
Yeah I'm with that, yeah
And your never gunna sleep with a broken heart

And if we do this
We might regret it all
And I know we be doing all that kissing and hugging

But maybe we should take our time
We can take it slow, slow, no girl

Baby we can wait, it's gonna be great
If we take it slow

She broke my heart
She's touched my soul
Left me in pieces
Then made me whole
She's made me laugh
Then cry a river
She is my past
And still my future
Oh in the end when you ask me what I do
I've been writing songs about you
All big and small things
Oh life pasting through
I'd still writing songs about you
She's kissed my lips
Never enough
She's teased my ego
With talks of love
She's left me breathless
With just a hint
Of her sweetest perfume upon my naked skin
When the night comes
And you ask me what I do
I've been writing songs about you
Oh when the day breaks in
I'm still in this room
I'd still be writing songs about you
What a crazy way love can make us
What a crazy way indeed
She'll be my life
And be my death
She'll be my every single piece of inspiration,
Every breath
Oh in the end when you ask me what I do
I've been writing songs about you

I took you when I broke you down to size
I will be the nicotine to your addiction
I'm what you been missing
What you wishing for

Then take me to the party
And no one knows how naughty we are, no, no
And I know you be satisfied, you can hide
That

You can have what you want

Piece de resistance, the only thing that you know you want
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing, the Best Man
You left and I went right, in love but never quite,
Enough, to make it through necessity,
I know, I'm sure, sure
If full time feelings crept to me,
We must of cheated destiny
We've only just begun, and already over and done
So glasses up
Let's cheers to shabby dreams and love,
Where the lost will be enough
I wish we went another way, wish we had more time,
And one more day, just one more day
I'll cry a single tear, though not so [?],
I'll wait baby, I will kiss you in my dreams,
Relive, re-love
See if both those things were possible
Then maybe we'd be probable, we've only just begun
And already said and done so glasses up
And let's cheers to shabby dreams and love
Where the lost will be enough
I wish we went another way, wish we had more time, one more day
Just one more day, so glasses up
So let's toast to fate and destiny, yeah
Hope it's only wrong for me
I wish you went another way, wish we had more time,
And one more day, just one more day so glasses up
And let's cheers to shabby dreams and love
Where the lost will be enough
I wish you went another way, wish we had more time,
And one more day, I really wish, I do, oh
Wish we went another way, wish we had more time,
And one more day, wish I did
I wish we went another way, wish we had more time,
They never thought she was worth it
They never did believe,
They didn't think you derived it, deserved it
To be treated like the queen!
See now they're all looking crazy, crazy
Cause you're sitting on top of the world,
I know they're feeling envy now that you're my girl!
[Chorus:]
You know hearts will be breaking
Cause you're no more on for the taking,
It's a cry and shame, they all missed the chances
But now when they're asking you,
You know just what to say!
Going down... keep the heads to themselves
Girl you're off the market, market
You don't want nobody else!
Baby I promised I'll love you,
And I will put nobody above you
So tell 'em boys stop it, stop it,
Girl, you're off the market, market, oh!
Listen! Now everybody knew about you
But they was... and shy!
I had my sight...
I picked you up right of the sky
It's such a miracle, that no one ever fell in love,
And I tell you all the time,
Now that you're mine, oh girl!
[Chorus:]
You know hearts will be breaking
Cause you're no more on for the taking,
It's a cry and shame, they all missed the chances
But now when they're asking you,
You know just what to say!
Going down... keep the heads to themselves
Girl you're off the market, market
You don't want nobody else!
Baby I promised I'll love you,
And I will put nobody above you
So tell 'em boys stop it, stop it,
Girl, you're off the market, market, oh!
Tell 'em all that you're not the one
Tell 'em all that yeah, it was fun, wild and nasty!
But this is the end of the line, see what they say ain't always true,
I guess that was the case with you
That's what I learned, this night's got...
They all missed the chances, now that they're asking
You know just what to say!
[Chorus:]
Going down... keep the heads to themselves
Girl you're off the market, market
You don't want nobody else!
Baby I promised I'll love you,
And I will put nobody above you
So tell 'em boys stop it, stop it,
Girl, you're off the market, market, oh!
You could tell 'em how to stop it, stop it,
My baby is off the market, oh!
Baby I promised I'll love you,
And I will put nobody above you
So tell 'em boys stop it, stop it,
Do right,
The next time that I meet a girl
That I wanna give all my world
That I wanna give all my time
That I wanna make me all mine

The next time that I fall inlove

To the one and only in my life
Baby I will make this sacrifice
Cause I'll only have eyes for you
And I'll give you my world,
It's true
I want a wife and a home and a little baby boy
For a family to call my own
And I promise not to misbehave
Give her every little thing she craves
I'll do her better
I'll hurt her never
No never
I'll be coming home now evry night
You don't have to worry
You're the only one I'm holding tight
I'll make it right
[Chorus:]
Next time I won't be

I'll keep her warm
Next time that I hold her

I'll keep her warm
I'll keep her warm [x3]
When you like a song I replayed
Every time I hear it I just want another day
One chance just to make it all better for you
One time I can sing to make it all go away
One tune just to make you feel whole
Next time I won't ever let her go
Next time I'll rewrite our song
And I promise I will right my wrongs
I'm a try my bst to hold it down
I'm a try to always be around and keep her satisfied
This ain't no lie,
Because
[Chorus:]
Next time I won't be
I won't be so cold
I'll do her better
I'll keep her warm
Next time that I hold her
I won't let her go
I'll do her better
I'll keep her warm

Before this love affair ends

Both agree to just walk away
And love another day

My heart is bruised
Sick of dodging bullets
In this love at war
So tired of going through it
Don't think I can do it
This ain't what I bargained for
This love at war
Baby I gotta say it
This love at war
Something I never anticipated
This love at war
No easy way to deal with
So sick and tired of dodging bullets
I declared don't wanna do this
Don't wanna be left again

My heart is bruised
Sick of dodging bullets
In this love at war
So tired of going through it
Don't think I can do it
This ain't what I bargained for
Cause I'm like a walking, wounded
My heart is bruised
Sick of dodging bullets
In this love at war
So tired of going through it
Don't think I can do it
This ain't what I bargained for
This love at war

August they're bowling, latchkey son holding
August you knew it was true
August with laughter, trust us days after
August you knew it was true
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose
August by firelight now you can confide
August you knew it was true
August with pipelines, second world war files
August you knew it was true
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose
You paid attention
Was it time well spent?
Lies in the past, got dragged by the current.
How can you base what was a lie on trust
Strangers now, lovers in august
It's mist fills my lungs,
Save me while I'm still young
We're lost with the love we once knew
I spilled my thoughts into the ocean
I tried to drown the pain away
But my pain learned how to swim
I think about it everyday
I'm want she want but she needs him
How can you base what was a lie on trust
Strangers now, lovers in august
It's mist fills my lungs
Save me while I'm still young
We're lost with the love we once knew
She'll come at dusky first of day
White over yellow harvest's song
Upon her dewy rainbow way
She shall be beautiful and strong
The lidless eye of noon shall spray
Tan on her ankles in the hay
Shall kiss her brown the whole day long
I'll know her in the windows tall
Above the crickets of the hay
I'll know her when her odd eyes fall
One May-blue, one November-gray
I'll watch her down the red barn wall
Take down her rusty scythe and call
And I will follow her away
It was the spring when we met our renewal
And all around us was madness and ruin
As if awaiting its prey
The ascending melee pulled the sun down
In August we laid her down
In August we gave her to the ground
One last kiss, her last wish
Was that this moment would last forever
In August we laid her down
In August we gave her to the ground
Torn away, torn in two
Destiny where are you?
It was the spring when we met our renewal
And all around us was madness and ruin
It was the spring when we met our denial
It was the spring
In August we laid her down
In August we laid her down
In August we gave her to the ground
One last kiss, her last wish
Was that this moment would last forever
In August we laid her down
Watch her stumble as she falls away
Tried to search for something to say
Lost for words, but I kept in touch
Never thought I would bleed so much.
Knew that changes were in the air
Tried to show I was able to care
But the final showing's been shown
Hard to face when I'm on my own.
Watch her stumble as she falls from grace
Go through life pretending I am OK
I caught a glimpse of the twilight zone
It means so much to me that you would say I'm on your mind,
I wonder back to when to when you were so often on mine,
I know but I learned I can't afford to waste any more of your time,
I heard a rumor and I search to find,
*Chorus
We played along (we played along)
We played along (we played along)
We played along
We played a long time
It warms my heart to see you cry resting your head against a steering wheel,
I guess the love I craved has been made real
We take a road or make a path that leads us, somewhere
We might stay we might leave, but we can say we've been there
There’s tragedy in speaking
when there’s nothing left to say
and I can’t stop the bleeding
and I can’t stop the pain
The August of my dreams
as it fades away
and we struggle as it feeds
it feeds on our memories
Those promises are lost
and the finish line’s been crossed
and I’m standing there
yeah I’m waiting, I’m waiting there for...
And I hope you find your way
I’m so sorry I can’t stay
but it’s not my time
But I’m waiting, I’m waiting there for...
And now you’re gone
(now you’re gone, now you’re gone, now you’ll always be
gone)
So shake it off , our silence cost us all that we’d
made solid ground
The August of my dreams
as it fades away
and we struggle as it feeds
it feeds on our memories
Those promises are lost
and the finish line’s been crossed
and I’m standing there
yeah I’m waiting, I’m waiting there for...
And I hope you find your way
I’m so sorry I can’t stay
but it’s not my time
But I’m waiting, I’m waiting there for...
The August of my dreams
as it fades away
and we struggle as it feeds
and it feeds, as we wait, as we wait
(so wait for me)
Those promises are lost
And the finish line’s been crossed
And I know you’ll find your way
I know that you’ll find me
We stand in awe of You and what You have done, the work
You do
is all around to prove You are God. There is nothing
more we need to see,
You spoke existence into being, and speaking, all goes
down in flames. You
look at us with love. We can’t grasp what You offer,
another chance for
redemption with Your power. You hold all things
together, and in an
instant, this will all be over. Give me a voice to
speak for the weary and
the weak. To show what You have done, with a heart of
stone and death,
molded into beating flesh. I swear I will stand by what
You have done to
give hope where there was none. I swear I will stand by
what You have
done, You are King, Alive, Death trembles at Your
voice. We stand in awe
of You and what You have done, the work You do is all
around to prove You
are Good. There is nothing more we need to see, You
spoke existence into
being, and speaking, You have revived me. I can never
give You enough
credit, I have seen what You have done, I can’t go
quiet. You are who You
are, and who You are is Love. All praise to Your name,
You are king,
Droptop Plymouth;
Shooting stars;
And all I know
Is where we are
Is all that I could ever need.
There is no place I'd rather be.
The smell of fall is like perfume
The way it fills my empty room.
It's full of laughs.
It's full of tears.
And this life it goes:
On and on.
Road signs slowly passing by
Lay my head back;
Stare at the sky.
The stars are out in force tonight
You said it yourself that two Leos
Make for a dangerous combination
But still you chose to stay here pleased by the risk
It could be explosive or perfect
But at least we knew our limits
And we know where our edges are
Like we're sleeping on the top bunk
And we'll save ourselves
Before the fall
Before the fall
For two lovely loud Leos
Quite a bit goes unsaid
Except when we're in bed
Like lions we play and we bite
We always love
And we sometimes fight
But at least we knew our limits
And we know where our edges are
Like we're sleeping on the top bunk
And we'll save ourselves
Before the fall
Before the fall
You were smoking
In that chair by the window
Patty? s voice was our only clothing
I came to you
And you held my head
In your small hands
Your small hands
But where did our
id-governed days go
With food, love, and more love?
But the voices from the airshaft remind me
Everyone looks good in candlelight
They? re right
Borderlines and boundaries
We spent four months building an unbreachable wall
Then we managed to dissolve it
In a mere moment of unwelcome strength
But at least we knew our limits
And we know where our edges are
Like we're sleeping on the top bunk
And we'll save ourselves
Before the fall
(Verlaine)
(Ah, shucks...
I should have brought my raincoat,
I knew I should have brought it)
My illusions disappear
At the very thought of you,
Like last night's rain from the rooftops.
Now it's August 24,
Cool as the lining of your coat,
I read the sign but do not stop.
A quiet room, not long ago,
Beneath the silent blue delivery,
No metaphor, no memory,
Above the hours always shining through.
Just the sweetest...
Just the sweetest...
Goodness gracious, my oh my,
I'm really off the hinges,
Thinking of time as something tight, so tight.
But you've made a garden from,
A single tulip on the bed,
I count my blessings all the night.
A quiet room, not long ago,
Beneath the silent blue delivery,
No metaphor, no memory,
Above the hours always shining through.
Course I know that it's not wise,
Gazing into sunlight,
Just the things it falls upon
But the final vision has
Grown at least a hundred-fold,
I see your disillusion gone
A quiet room, not long ago,
Beneath the silent room deliver me,
No metaphor, no memory,
Above the hours always shining through.
A quiet room, not long ago,
Beneath the silent room deliver me,
No metaphor, no memory,
