I don't know how long I've been here
the days all run together
You're gone but you won't disappear
Traces of you will last forever
It feels like...
If I hold my breath you'll walk in any second
and tell me it was all a mistake, cant believe that you left and
It haunts me to hold you this close
but hurts me more to let go
That's why I'm still loving ghosts
They say I should get on with my life
but I can't even get up
I'd rather believe in this beautiful lie
than admit you're really gone forever
Every sense is screaming
every hair stands on my skin
every room I feel it. You are here!
Baby I'm not seeing, but I'm still believing
My heartbreak a chance worth taking
so on this floor I'll still be waiting
and OH...I feel you this close now
Take a walk with me, love
You say you can't get enough
Well you won't till you open your door
And you give some more to me
And the silence in your steps
As you tip-toe around the rest
Makes me want to pull you in
And kiss you, my friend, and your silly games
And I'm not tired
I could chase you around
And debate you here again and again
So tell me lies if you want to
I can take it, I won't be afraid
'Cause I am the rain
The rain is gentle some days
It can clean off the mess that Winter made
The rain can wash all the years of doubt
And the tears that were shed
So just look up please
Shine a little bit of hope to me, oh
Let me know there's a season for all
And a season to call you my love
And throw me off with your pride
It's okay, I won't hide here again and again
I'll tell you there's no mistaking
The reason that I'm not afraid
'Cause I am the rain
The rain will wash us clean
And I know the rain will wash us clean
And when it does, I'll be right beside you
Holding on, holding on
The rain will wash us clean
And I know the rain will wash us clean
And when it does, I'll be right beside you
If there was a way to try and make it back
Back to where we started from
Could I find a way to try and make you stay?
Would I know what could be done?
I don't wanna deny my heart its chance to feel
I don't wanna deny my soul something real
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy me?
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy you tonight?
We were sailing on, I could see the world below
Never thought of coming down
Expectations fell, it seemed as though our will
Was no match for the trouble found
I don't wanna deny my heart its chance to feel
I don't wanna deny my soul something real
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy me?
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy you tonight?
So take my hand and I won't look back
Though I've lived tossed along these waves
I will stay
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy me?
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy me?
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy you?
Is there anything left in this world
That will satisfy me tonight?
Here in a box I hide the letters
Written, postmarked with your name
Secrets I wish I could only share
With a heart that feels, feels the same
And here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're greater
Than our lonely fears
Here's where the notes were torn and crumbled
Before feelings could reach the page
Try to replace some sober thought
From emotion, fists held up with rage
And here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're so much greater
Than
Here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're greater
Than our lonely fears
Though I'm a simple mind, I know
I can see the picture drawn out here
You are the reason I have found
To keep believing in these years
And though the road is long
The trying keeps us holding on this way
And make no mistake, this is love
Love, love, love, this is love, love
And here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're so much greater
Than
Here we fall to pieces
In front of each other but we know
Somehow we're greater
What do you see when you close your eyes?
Do you watch all your dreams go by?
I'll tell you what I see.
You're an uncut diamond,
You're the rarest star;
A lone bird dying to fly so far;
A beautiful mystery.
That's what you are.
Such a beautiful mystery.
So, baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams just pass you by,
This is your time.
Even though we know that it's bittersweet,
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
So goodbye my love.
Yeah goodbye my love.
Like a violent storm on a quiet day,
Your heart is torn between go and stay.
I know that you love me,
But get on your way.
Yeah I know that you love me.
So baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams just pass you by,
This is your time.
Even though we know that it's bittersweet,
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
And don't second guess yourself.
Yeah you know what you need.
Don't waste your moment worrying about me.
So goodbye my love.
Yeah goodbye my love.
Baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams pass you by.
This is your time.
Even though we know that it's bittersweet.
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
You're an uncut diamond,
You're the rarest star;
A lone bird dying to fly so far.
Oh goodbye my love.
I don't wanna notice
I don't wanna see
Even I don't give up
Even I won't give up
You're breaking the surface
So what's left of me?
Tell me when is enough
Tell me I should give up
It's not the way you move
It's your words
Though they soothe
They're not telling the truth
Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to carry on
While just believing in you?
Didn't I give up everything?
Tell me now if there's
A reason for anything
My heart it was open
You stepped through the door
It is tearing me up
Giving in, giving up
Left here always hoping
One day there'd be more
Even I don't give up
But tell me when is enough
I see the strings you pull
I'm not blind
And I'm not fooled
Well, you know it's true
Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to carry on
While just believing in you?
Didn't I give up everything?
Tell me now if there's
A reason for anything
And here we are one glance away
I wanted you, you couldn't stay
Every part of me
Still reaching out, reaching in
And will I be here till the day
You've found another
To back away from?
I won't make the same mistake again, no
Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to carry on
While just believing in you?
Didn't I give up everything?
Tell me now if there's
A reason for anything
Didn't I know you?
Didn't I try to carry on
While just believing in you?
Didn't I give up everything?
Tell me now if there's
A reason for anything
'Cause even I don't give up
Even I don't give up
Even I don't give up
Even I don't give up
I don't wanna notice
I don't wanna see
Even I don't give up
It's on this road that I'm drawn back to you
As the miles remember me as I go
It's in the silence of a night's dream
That I recall the words of devotion we spoke
And I can't remember where our bodies roamed
I can't remember all alone
How our love got lost out in the cold
But you're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess of my years
You're the only one I know
Who brings me back to the middle
You're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess of my years
You're the only one I know
Who brings me back to the middle
I separated all I thought I knew
In a pile of books collapsed upon my floor
I memorized the words in code and true
But I can't carry them with me no more
And I can't remember where our bodies roamed
I can't remember all alone
How our love got lost out in the cold
But you're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess of my years
You're the only one I know
Who brings me back to the middle
You're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess of my years
You're the only one I know
Who brings me back to the middle
Don't tell me you've been swept away
I can't believe it about you
I won't believe it about you, no
Don't tell me you've been swept away
I can't believe it about you
I won't believe it about you
'Cause you're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess of my years
You're the only one I know
Who brings me back to the middle
You're the only song I hear
In this great wandering mess of my years
You're the only one I know
Who brings me back to the middle
And you will draw me near
When the sky opens and we appear
You'll bring me once again
Back to the middle
Well, here we stand alone, our goodbyes and our waiting
Getting our feet to move, always the hardest part
Like friends we know we've traveled off from one another
And we're trying to face the days a world apart
And change is what we have all been born into
That's what he said and all that I have to hold on to
But you have opened up the heart of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face
And you have opened up a part of me
Saying, please don't leave me here
When I'm a world apart from you
My independence is the part that drew you in
You said, I like the way you know a thing or two
But I must confess the air I breathe and paths I tread
Are making me less aware of what I am to do
I've done all I can to build the strength I need
Climbed all the mountains, wishing you were here to see
But you have opened up the heart of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face
And you have opened up a part of me
Saying, please don't leave me here
When I'm a world apart from
With a true and faithful heart I found
The one apart from all the others
I can stand alone because I know that
You have opened up the heart of me
Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face
And you have opened up a part of me
Saying, please don't leave me here
And you, and you
Saying, please don't leave me here
And you, and you
Saying, please don't leave me here
And you, and you
Please don't leave me here
And you, and you
Saying, please don't leave me here
When I'm a world apart from you
We're taking chances
Moving on your own
We're looking to our hearts to tell us yes or no
Throwing out the mirrors
Gonna look within
Were you calling out, can we forgive again?
A simple fraise, a simple sound
To find someway, know somehow
To know that I can find a way to be with you
And we keep growing
As long as I keep growing
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
So let me find my footing now
Along the bridge that I have found
If I keep falling down somehow
You know that you can turn me around
(Around)
We're sneaking glances
Where eyes deceive
They're telling us we don't know the places we should be
A simple fraise, a simple sound
To find someway, know somehow
To know that I can find a way to be with you
And we keep growing
As long as I keep growing
I'll be fine
Well, I'll be fine
So let me find my footing now
Along the bridge that I have found
If I keep falling down somehow
You know that you can turn me around
Don't let me see you fall
Don't let me see you calling by name
The silly little names
And I'll telling you all
I'll tell you the hardest thing
The simple whispering
You said, I know you well
So let me find my footing now
Along the bridge that I have found
If I keep falling down somehow
You know that you can turn me around
And we look up, up
Look at the world
The world as it's sinking in
And we look up, up
I look at you
You turn me around again
If I keep falling down somehow
They're building hate today.
I see it in the eyes of every passing gaze.
They're calling your name today.
You've won, congratulations.
Say what you're suppose to say.
Be safe. Make everyone feel comfortable.
Call me out and let me breathe again.
Call me out and let me see it again.
And breathe into me the air you say you're not polluting.
And flatter me: tell me I am beautiful.
That i'm the only one you care for.
And make me believe that all your good intentions were heartsent.
All the wrong you've done, still I'll be screaming.
Call me out and let me breathe again.
Call me out and let me see it again.
You don't know all the wrong you've done, and we're still standing.
We will cast our faults and then we are free.
We will not fall.
When you call us out, giving us freedom again.
Who is this darkness?
Who is this lucid dreamer?
Why do I love the way this distance feels?
It's coiled up independence
I want so much to run
Carry me over all this distance, my dear
Trade this fear
Carry me over all
What part of my heart enters into your secrets?
And where is the key to cherish you?
I want to repay all the debt
Insecurities ran up
My peaceful surrender I do not own
I want so much to run
Carry me over all this distance, my dear
Trade this fear
Carry me over all this distance, my dear
Dear, oh
Was I dreaming when I called you the loveliest?
Was I only hoping my pride would quiet itself?
And everything is quiet
Everything's so quiet
I want so much to run
Carry me over all this distance, my dear
Trade this fear
Carry me over all this distance, my dear
Call the guards
Call the authorities
And lock this tension up
Call the guards before my heart
If you lay me down in this mess will I remember your name
When you come back calling for me like you said you would?
Do I trust your breath will sustain you in all your long hours?
Do I love your weakness enough to see it as my strength?
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you?
I am no more flattered by your wandering eyes
Than I am by your softly broken lies
Oh, the air is thick with betrayal
We search for devotion and wind up settling for emotion
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you
Has failed you
Has failed you?
You don't make me want to dance with you
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
Make me wanna run and find something true
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna find something true
Something true
Someone like you
Something
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me?
And you come back
And you come back
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me?
And you come back
And you come back
When I'm lost without a word to say
When I'm not the most intriguing
Will you stay?
When I've called just to hear you say hi
Will you find me too needy and walk away?
And I know these are silly questions to ask you
'Cause you've proven to love me far beyond my faults
And I'll hold on to every conversation if it could be our last
'Cause when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent
I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love
Rewind to any moment you like
Sit back, remember
I will always sit back with you
Oh how cool you wished to be
We were both so nervous
But at peace
And the same time knowning this was right
The time I moved in closely for what you weren't expecting
Think on this
But don't miss
Don't long for the past
Long for what comes next
'Cause when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
And when you're silent
I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love
No~o
Come away with life
Come away with love
With something better
'Cause when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
And when you're silent
I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love
What do you see when you close your eyes?
Do you watch all your dreams go by?
I'll tell you what I see.
You're an uncut diamond,
You're the rarest star;
A lone bird dying to fly so far;
A beautiful mystery.
That's what you are.
Such a beautiful mystery.
So, baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams just pass you by,
This is your time.
Even though we know that it's bittersweet,
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
So goodbye my love.
Yeah goodbye my love.
Like a violent storm on a quiet day,
Your heart is torn between go and stay.
I know that you love me,
But get on your way.
Yeah I know that you love me.
So baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams just pass you by,
This is your time.
Even though we know that it's bittersweet,
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
And don't second guess yourself.
Yeah you know what you need.
Don't waste your moment worrying about me.
So goodbye my love.
Yeah goodbye my love.
Baby go on and live your life.
I can't hold on and you're burning alive.
Don't let all your dreams pass you by.
This is your time.
Even though we know that it's bittersweet.
Go and find the freedom that you need.
Even if it takes you away from me,
I know it's right.
You're an uncut diamond,
You're the rarest star;
A lone bird dying to fly so far.
Oh goodbye my love.
dreamers stop here
in hopes they'll get a chance of a lifetime ago
but i will not wait there
drifters stop here and think
the way they lived life with no plans
my decision is drawing near
please lover find me
though the seasons break us up
please lover remind me
that at the hand of the sea
it's you and me again
branches break here in denial
of what they once held up
the crisp air cuts my heart
breathe it in they say, live the life
but as the snow falls you no longer see
the light of who you could be
all the flowers slowly fade
all the leaves that long to change
My eyes
They never sleep
My eyes
They torture me
My heart it falls so fast
But it looks back
My knees are getting weaker each passing day
Each passing day
With each word of disapproval my backbone falters
Could the be my ticket out of here?
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of?
Could this be redemption soon?
I need redemption soon
Believe me when I say
I'm trying to make it just like you
Could you show me grace
And fall back into my spell
Into my hell?
Into my hell
Could the be my ticket out of here?
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of?
Could this be redemption soon?
I need redemption soon
And you don't even know where I come from anymore
It used to be so easy
Your provision doesn't even fall on my land anymore
Conversation weakens in your eyes
Could the be my ticket out of here?
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of?
Could this be my ticket out of here?
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of?
Could this be redemption soon?
Redemption soon
It's all the same
Sex in the air
Your promise is all the same
You'll be the one who will always care
But how can you promise the world?
How can you promise your heart when it's always searching?
But I'm just like you
I don't want to deny my heart it's chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul something real
Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy me?
"Do you really love him?" They'll say
Your second chances scribbled in the rules
But I think the consequence
It's just
Something more feels so exciting now
And this black romance is so enticing
And this desire is worth the fighting
But is it worth deciding that I am just like you?
I don't want to deny my heart it's chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul something real
Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy you and me?
(And it keeps repeating)
And it keeps repeating
It keeps repeating
(And we keep believing)
And we keep believing
We keep believing
Disrupt the part of me that needs some space
Repeat that look I see in your face
Remind me of truth
Remind me of the reason for existing
Remind me of truth
Should we even wonder why our hearts are torn?
Why our image is based on this broken city?
Should we ask ourselves why our lungs breathe in sickness?
Innocence is seen as weakness, laughter at as naïve.
And it's these things that hold you down
when they're supposed to keep you safe and sound.
And it's these things you claim to believe
don't let them be the ones you forever try to please.
It's a scene that leaves you cold
but why choose anything else and lose your place in line?
May I ask one thing, how do you think this will work out?
You are no more well-liked than those who have been betrayed
And it's these things that hold you down
when they're supposed to keep you safe and sound
and it's these things you claim to believe
don't let them be the ones you forever try to please
Look at you now
Look at you now
And it's these things that hold you down
when they're supposed to keep you safe and sound.
And it's these things you claim to believe
Does she linger in the air
That follows you home each day?
Do you ever stop and stare at yourself
For traces of her?
Can a picture bring some comfort
Where a song melody leaves off?
Is she silently rocking you to sleep?
Cause I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light
In my world today
Cause it would be an injustice not to say
That kind of love
Live on
What kept your eyes up
Kept your world from falling
Darkness chokes, but you found a way out
May I say your words are insight
Something unique
Hold on my friend she's rocking you out of here
Cause I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light
In the world today
Cause it would be an injustice not to say
That kind of love
We sing oooooo
We sing oooooooo
We sing oooooo
We sing oooooooo
Cause i hope and i pray
I'll see a bit of that light
In the world today
(we sing ooooo) backround
It would be an injustice not to say
The kind of love
You, you should've left me a long time ago
And you, you should've seen how scared I was
But you, you chose to stick around in spite of me
When I let the night take the day
And my friends the tiny glimpses
Of something different, something free
Moved away and moved along the scene
But just remember
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
You, you always take it slowly day by day
And you, you're never turning around
And you, you're always bringing me direction
And I know I'm coming home today
But baby, don't you know me?
I wouldn't give up, oh so soon
You'll see me fighting all those bitter parts
But just remember
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
Take it slow, we can move away
It doesn't matter what they say
Slow, we can move away
It doesn't matter what they say
Slow, we can move away
It doesn't matter what they say
Slow, we can move away
'Cause all that matters
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
If you go, well, I'm going with you
If you know, if you know me at all
When I say these words I mean them
In the night I have traveled
All alone just to see
Where I left all the memories
I had grown to count as me
Through the days though uncertain
I can live secretly
Just for you, just for you
Just for you
And I strain to see
Will it ever be you and me?
Singing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
It was cold on the last day
I was trying not to see
In a place so familiar
Yet resisting all of me
I am one, I am only
Who I hope that I can be
All for you, all for you
All for you
And I strain to see
Will it ever be you and me?
Singing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
Singing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
If you could only see how good
I could be in your arms tonight
If you could only see how good
We could be moving on
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
We sing, oh, oh
I've been running along these spaces all alone
Trying to find a place I feel that I belong
You don't seem to notice me
You don't seem to notice me
You've got money and power
To hold your position down
But all this money and power
Is showing me the ground
I can't see anymore, I can't see anymore
Watch you go
Down, I can see you running
Look around, look around
There is no one following
Now what're you gonna do solo?
Look around, look around
Down, I can see you running
Look around, look around
There is no one following
Now what're you gonna do solo?
Look around, look around
I've been thinking that I can find a better way
Outside of all the empty hopes and words you say
You can't breathe when you're alone
You can't breathe when you're alone
Watch you go
Down, I can see you running
Look around, look around
There is no one following
Now what're you gonna do solo?
Look around, look around
Down, I can see you running
Look around, look around
There is no one following
Now what're you gonna do solo?
Look around, look around
Where'd the people go who told you
All the pretty things, your ego full?
What's the matter now?
I see you falling, falling, falling, falling
Where'd the people go who told you
All the easy words not what they should?
What's the matter now?
I see you falling, falling, falling, falling
Down, I can see you running
Look around, there is no one following
Now what're you gonna do solo?
Look around, look around
Down, I can see you running
Look around, look around
There is no one following
Now what're you gonna do solo?
Use this time to step aside
And look around with your feeble eyes
Use this time to forget me
Use these days to lie awake
And feel the loss of my embrace
But don't use anymore of me
And how do you say
And how do you say
"I forgive you"?
And how do you know
And how do you know
When to choose to?
And when to move along?
Use your hands to feel the man
I gave my plan and off you went
To find someone new who is not me
Use your favorite photograph
To play the recent memory back
Are you still as cold as I am?
Well it started off a simple black and blue
Hidden behind the untrue
But now it's surfacing
I need to be released
From the love that was you
From the love that was you
Cause I want to say
And I want to say
"I forgive you"
And I want to know
And I want to know
When to choose to
And when to move along
Do you see my eyes losing interest, wandering about
Someone always seems to take your place
Can lightning strike the same place twice in my heart?
As it does when you speak
I need that fire to burn in me
Tell me, will it be?
Disguising plans i've made before
Learning what i was made for
Desire is trampled by my faults
But somehow, in the quiet you make sense
Will you fall on me?
Like you did before
Oh, you've watched me in my youth
When i thought you didn't need to
Where'd ya go?
The leaves, they move too fast.
I was lost, looking for your face.
Did you go to catch the lovers lie?
or to move the stars and put them in place?
Is there ever a dream of mine, you haven't heard?
I'll keep running ahead of the race, until
I put that sparkle in your eye.
Did you know, when you move I breathe?
I'd take blind destiny over empty space
as my friends slowly fade into ghosts
I hold on tighter, struggle for demands
Is there ever a dream of mine
you (ohhh)haven't heard?
I'll keep running ahead of the race
until I put a sparkle in your eye
(sparkle in your eyeeeee)
Is there ever a dream of mine you
(ohh) you haven't heard.
I'll keep running ahead of the race
your eyes are nothing, I've looked deep knowing I was safe
and this memory will never be erased, never be erased
you put me in my place
I would have liked a call
One head light's out
outside of you calling out my faults
I would have liked to settle this
once and for all, once and for all
would you have me crawl
and this memory, it will never fade
and this memory, it will never fade, never fade
you can cry in this bed alone
I won't cry with you anymore
You can lay in this grave you made
I won't lie with you anymore
No, it will never be erased
