Is this on
I am so too
I could take you there but I don't know how to get there
We're just waiting for our man
To come through with a plan
Of how the hell we turn this round
And dig ourselves out of the ground
We don't really want to know
The things you claim to know
It could fall around our ears
Fire light, fire light, fire, little fire light
We won't get much sleep
Reaching out to touch more than I should have
Love my simple life
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
'Cause I don't want to die here alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
Getting too busy to make amends
I should try to make it right
Are you ready for the shit to hit?
I think you say you are but aren't
Doctor, make it better instantly
You're the only one who can
I've been waiting here my whole damn life
And I've forgotten what I wanted
Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go
Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love her
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see
If I lied you'd know it instantly
So I just had to look away
All the honesty I've ever lost
I can't begin to even curse
I never knew the taste of blood till now
It's clear I never should have known
Breathing fire was never this much fun
So there's a dark side in us all
Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go
Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love her
I'd be lying to myself
Maybe somewhere else
Will not be half as cold as me
The curtains drawn the winter sun
Makes patterns on your face
It looks like some kaleidoscopic breathing exercise
It's the same
Baby won't you breathe
Hold me in your freezing arms before we have to go
Bent a little but it's not because I know the truth
The windsheild of your little car is frosted through the glass
The clear heart of air appears as we shiver on the seats
It's the same
Treat it as a test
Baby wont you breathe
The car crunches gravel
And the wind looks at you
This dark spell you're under
As you're dumbstruck by the gates
It hurts every muscle
Just to walk back to the house
Now this home that you both lived
It looks haunted from the yard
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
The dark never enters
But it also never leaves
And the spark that he gave you
Is just an ember all but out
If he'd weren't out on the exit
Oh you never would've known
Until he drove off in the darkness
Like some slowly fading song
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
One step too far
Is not far enough away from here
Stay close to me
Don€™t relax your grip on my right hand
But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Don€™t torture yourself thinking that it must sting
Don€™t turn your head
Pretend they€™re all dead and gone by now
Can you feel that?
Feels like breath on the back of my neck
But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Don€™t torture yourself thinking that it must sting
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
It's a feeling I've had many times before
I can't hold the fort so don't give me more
I struggle and sweat when I'm wide awake
When I know I'm fine, I'm not used to fine
It's the same thing again
But it could become a problem if
We don't deal with it now
And you blast off in another rant
I've not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily
As the madness sets in
You must know that I'll follow you
A sudden movement and a broken limb
The patches are there to show where I'm hit
My fault is it now well that's news to me
You won't be around forever girl
You've gotta grab life with both hands
You won't be around forever girl
You've gotta grab life with both hands
You won't be around forever girl
You've gotta grab life with both hands
This heart break is never ending
It's like it never happened
A fall from grace is close
Why not speed it up?
I've never been so angry
To find out that I failed
It didn't even work
I have to make amends
I shot him from the window
The world just held it's breath
And I made my escape
As if no-one could see
I took off in my pick-up
Kids screaming in the back seat
They heard the shots too
And screamed cause that's their way
I do it alright in my own way
We've all got bigger plans
But when it comes down to it
Mine might save the world
At least for one more day
Don't judge me from your sofas
On TV things don't ever come across so true
I could help myself to something
Like a little bit of revelation
You could be the one to help me help myself
Maybe if I could see exactly what was in your way I'd move it for you
Don't always need to do it by yourself
UI'm not trying to find a way to get into your bed
I'll just sing for you
Until you fall asleep, then I will go
I never understood how you should feel
You've been left out
I'd never do that
Half the fun of it is that I can?t keep up
And I lose my breath and what?s worse
Is I don?t think I?m the first
Any way you like, you can do no wrong
Please, just give me five minutes dear
Let?s just pray, it?s not near
Stay forever, I won?t last it, I'll die trying
Will you suffer a little with me?
But you would never
With a second chance I?d mess it up again
But I do it worse than before
'Cos I've learned so much more
About the way we fertilize the roses
That were bought to show us how much you care
Now it?s easier to care
Getting past this, you have to take it
I will wait here
Please believe me, just stop running
Say you?ll get help
I caught the last flight, I had to see you
It can?t wait longer
He?s not your father, just a doctor
You Holy Cow
The telegraph pole knows where
It knows where you live
You Holy Cow
I'll get it to take me there
And shout abuse at your window
1,2,3,4
I can take no more
You Holy Cow
I'll stand out here all night
Here on your front porch
You Holy Cow
I'm trying not to stare, it's too late
The blankets over there, if you like
I'm broken and I'm colder than hell
I should've said I'd not come back here
Your breakfast will get cold
I really have to go
It's easier to lie and be safe
Time and time again I'm half stalled
One giant leap of faith is easy
When everyone you ask is so sure
Just give a second thought
What if we don't get caught
Just say you love me now
And forget this whole row
Just save your energy
Her gravity make me feel light-headed
Small-talk turns to dust in my mouth
She doesn't know that I'm already
thinking bout how I'm gonna make her look my way
But she smiles at herself in mirrors
A little too often these days
Maybe I'm unbalanced
The way she walks, my God she'd get it
All my friends reckon she is oh so fine
But the way I talk when I'm speaking near her
Sworn to secrecy I might go after school
She was an angel I saw her swimming there
I am in such a mess I can't cope without this
She just teases me pretends she can't see me here
So let me go out there
I can breathe fresh air
Stay with you all night
Just let me love you
Just for a while want to
Be with you all night
Be with you all night
Until I fall asleep
Just let me be here
I won't tell anyone
Don't want to wake up
The blind lead the blind so why can't I find my way
This could be heaven but I don't know where I am
I am too scared to come out from behind here
My body is aching it feels like it's wearing me
I'm waiting for something new
The rain washes my thoughts away
I'm longing to sing this song
To show you, to hold you
I'm so nervous, so excited
You make me feel, feel I'm not alone
Right about now, if I'd found the right words to say
I'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand
I'll be there by your side for the rest of your life
Our bodies could fall off the end of the world
Something told me we'd be happy forever
I don't see how this could change any of that
I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
And lie with you on the grass above
And I'd like to change all this
And I'd like to wake up from this
By your side
How did we ever survive for this length of time?
Living with only a care in the world
But the light that shines from her
Whenever she's happy is worth every minute that we've saved ourselves
Maybe there's hope in just one final second
A flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
Don't torture yourself with what might have given
We did everything that we could ever do
And I'd like to chnge all this
And I'd like to wake up form this
It seems the day that your house burned to the ground
Was the day that you'd always planned to leave anyway
And the vast empire you come through to get here
Makes the world look like pennies in my hand
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
Your words shook me right out of a daydream
I was lost somewhere cold and it looked haunted
I was asking strangers but no one understood me
I was drenched in sweat when your words came to me
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
It was the last highway you would ever travel
The long road from a daughter, wife and son
When the bus stopped a beat from California
Your tired feet they ached over the road
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way
Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God
Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you, girl
Don't be scared of anything at all
Everything we have is all we need
All the spotlights streaming into angry skies
Means there's no one watching as we leave
Say the first thing that
Comes into your head when you see me
If it looks like it works and it feels like it works
Then it works
With the sun on your face
All these worries will soon disappear
Just follow me now
I find careful patterns in the snow
It seems you did come round but changed your mind
If you'd just take ten more steps to me
I won't ever ask you again
Just because I couldn't say doesn't make me a liar
I noticed a change in the tone of your voice
It's so clear
My role in this mess
Is not something that I can be proud of
But it's all going to change
Say the first thing that
Comes into your head when you see me
If it looks like it works and it feels like it works
Then it works
With the sun on your face
All these worries will soon disappear
You're not fair
Telling me
You faked every orgasm
You've had with me
That's just fine
Now it's over
And I'm out here
Banging my head
After all the dancing
And spilling beer all over the place
I lie out here
In disgrace
You've had your fun
Kissed some bloke you shouldn't have
Right in front of me
Punched him to the floor
I could have killed him there
But I got thrown out
I'll get him some other time
Tell me if I'm going crazy
But everything you said amazed me
Seems to easy on the ear to
Be something I should adhere to
You told me to just simply wander
Rather than take shelter under
And open my heart to the thought that
Life is something you're not caught at
Too easy to get lost in progress
I didn't see you there in that dress
And suddenly the world seems so small
We'd fit it all inside our front hall
Edison would spin in his grave
To ever see the light that you gave
Don't want to take it nice and slow here
Don't want to waste a minute more, dear
The universe just vanished out of sight
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
Maybe it's the warmer climate
Maybe I'm a smarter primate
Maybe it's the beer I'm drinking
Maybe I've stopped over-thinking
Baby you're the words and chapters
The sweetness in the morning after
You are the cry that turns to laughter
You're the hope that ends disaster
The universe just vanished out of sight
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
But the universe is just an empty space
And all the stars can disappear without a trace
And I'm so glad that this has taken so long
Oh velocity girl
What makes you go so fast
Is it the speed you're taking
Since you gave up the drinking
Oh velocity girl
I can't keep up with you
Can't stand to be alone
Think you should be with me
Just want to stay here in your arms
Oh velocity girl
Try harder to stay put
Understand me when I say
Please don't leave today
Oh velocity girl
I don't know what I'm thinking
Since I gave up the drinking
Please just stay with me
Just want to stay here in your arms
Oh velocity girl
Can I though your hand
Can I move it here
Don't you understand?
Just want to stay here in your arms
Just want to stay here in your arms
Just want to stay here in your arms
Is there a place I can go?
Is there a light to get me there?
If I've forgotten what to say
It's because all words are dust
If this is really what you think
How come you won't look me in the eye?
All this crying in your sleep
As I lie awake beside
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Is there a T-shirt I can wear?
'Cause I am soaking look at me
What do you mean I don't love you?
I am standing here, aren't I?
Maybe you thought of it first
Maybe I get all the praise
Is there a place I can go?
Is there a light to get me there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
You can't find the phone
So you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can't walk away anyway
Because you've nowhere else to go
Is he worth all this
Is it a simple yes?
Cause if you have to think
It's f*cked
Feels like you've loved him more
Than he loved you
You wish you never met
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over.
You've been up all night
And the night before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling, worried sick
And there's strangers everywhere.
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over.
And in one little moment,
It all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered
And hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here right, I
I know there is
This isn't everything you are.
When you took the call
How could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
When you wish you'd went
Home days ago
To say goodbye, or just hello
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
And in one little moment
It all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered
And hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here right, I
I know there is.
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
It took half the time
I am still afraid
So stay by my side
And hold on to my hand
Try to teach me that
I'm alright, I guess
But there's so much wrong
But there's so much right
I guess we'll agree
Take her home
Take her past this evening
I'm not sure
Sure if I believe you
You carry a gun for fun
You use it twice as easy
I'm sure she is
She is someone's daughter
I couldn't even feel that it was
Wrapped around my head
I don't know what she's done
I don't even want to think about it
She was beautiful
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
I saw everything
Things I hoped I'd never see
She got away from him
And got on a plane this morning
I couldn't even feel like it was
Wrapped around my head
I'm coming down
I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be okay and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love
It's so simple and you know it is, you know it is
We can't be to and fro like this all our lives
You're the only way to me, the path is clear
What do I have to say to you for God's sake, dear?
For God's sake, dear
For God's sake, dear
For God's sake, dear
For God's sake, dear
Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love
Just say yes
'Cause I'm aching and I know you are too
For the touch
Of your warm skin as I breathe you in
I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love
Just say yes
'Cause I'm aching and I know you are too
For the touch
I want something
That's purer than the water
Like we were
It's not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understand
And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
It's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
'Cause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
It's the price I guess
for the lies I've told
that the truth, it no longer thrills me
Why can't we laugh,
when it's all we have?
Have we put these childish things away?
Have we lost the magic that we once had?
In the end, in the end,
there's nothing more to life than love, is there?
In the end, in the end,
it's time for us to lose our weary minds.
Will you dance with me,
like we use to dance,
and remember how to move together.
You are the torch,
and it all makes sense.
I've waited here for you forever
I've waited here for you forever
In the end, in the end,
there's nothing more to life than love, is there?
In the end, in the end,
it's time for us to lose our weary minds.
We're lost 'til we learn how to ask.
We're lost 'til we learn how to ask.
We are lost'til we learn how to ask.
So please, please, just ask.
In the end, in the end,
there's nothing more to life than love, is there?
In the end, in the end,
it's time for us to lose our weary minds.
It's hard to argue when
you won't stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves and it
keeps digging my own grave with my
Hands open, and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
Why would I sabotage
the best thing that I have
Well, it makes it easier to know
exactly what I want with my...
Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens
It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
Put Sufjan Stevens on
and we'll play your favorite song
"Chicago" bursts to life and your
sweet smile remembers you, my
Hands open, and my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Only the faintest
Only the faintest glance buries you, buries me
So fire your engine
See if I give a damn, we'll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream
Caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
Use me forever
Use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air, I'll be fire
You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years
What will you remember?
What will you think of me after I say goodbye?
Returning in bodies
Plants and the sand you'll squeeze in between shoe less feet
I know I love you like the slivered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said
I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
A little after twelve the function suite was full
With people I had never seen before
Ripped up ticket stubs, confettied on the floor
It dawned on me, I'd seen it all before
Cool your beans, my son, you look a fucking mess
No one's getting out of here tonight
Hit that button there, the one that just says wrong
We'll lose our lives through all our favorite songs
Go forward to later, you'll land flat on your feet
When you were in the room I was nailed to my seat
I'm like a prisoner getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk
And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a volt in my step and a grin on my face
It can't contain me but you leaning on me
To get me back in my box and snap the branches off me
A little after four the function suite is dead
And I am just a ripped up ticket stub
But here's a helping hand, a voice that's far to close
And I am up and on my broken limbs
Go forward to later, you'll land flat on your feet
When you were in the room I was nailed to my seat
I'm like a prisoner getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk
And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a volt in my step and a grin on my face
It can't contain me but you leaning on me
To get me back in my box and snap the branches off me
And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a volt in my step and a grin on my face
It can't contain me but you leaning on me
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
Has nobody asked you how you are?
You look like you might not last the day
I wouldn't have made it very far
So we'd make a good team right away
I've not made amends for yesterday
My lip won't get me out of it
Waking up dreading hearing tales
Of all my nightmares being true
I take a breath and grab the phone
Secretly hoping you're not home
I'd leave a message - I was out
You're my favourite friend
And I adore you
Love you to the end
No one heard a word you say
You're my favourite friend
We rule the world together
With out secret codes
And plans we can't remember
From now on, must be strong
My favourite friend
You're my favourite friend
When I need you
And when I don't as well
Of course you miss me being around
You're my favourite friend
But I'm older now
I can't pretend
You could get arrested for
getting your kit off in the street
How many times have I told you
It's not polite to meet and greet
We'll get you home and wash you up
In a bath of cold coffee
I only do this cause I love you
And you can make things easier
Didn't you hear me when I said
Not to do this anymore
I've had enough it's got to stop
Or I will leave you then we'll see
If you could handle things yourself
Without me here to scrape you up
This is the last time I'll warn you
Don't make me leave you all alone
When summer falls asleep
And winter plucks your strings
The colder that you get
Makes you feel at home
Build it up, tear it up, throw it out
If I come round there now
Would you be pleased to see me
I wouldn't make much noise
Just whimper to myself
Build it up, tear it up, throw it out
My head hurts more each time
The drinking strangles me
Believ in God, like hell
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
Faces all screwed up like what I'd done
I didn't mean to hurt you so much
I knew it would hurt you but not like this
We all make a mess from time to time dear
But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared
Somebody muttered something under their breath
But I let on like I was a little deaf
Nobody's perfect that's what I say
No one has hurt me so much you say
I'm sorry
Running away seemed like the easy
Thing to do because I wanted time
To put a smile back on my dear face
For once nothing's missing and I feel fine
I was afraid to tell you some things
But some things all find a way to get told
Hearing it from the lips of somebody else
Must have knocked the wind out of your sweet chest
Something snapped me out of a dream
That I was having
I'd fallen down an elevator shaft
But now I'm back again
Tidying up after the fight we had
Happy with yourself
Well you've never looked so satisfied
Teasing me with stuff like a spoilt little brother
You finished yet?
Have you got what you really want?
You left your door wide open
Couldn't help but walk in
It's the last place I should be
But I'm dying to see you
Have I held out for something
That is never going to happen?
It's not me that you love
You woke up cold this morning
Shied away from my touch
I would never mean to hurt you
Cause I love you so much
Was it always only one night
That you every wanted from me?
Cut my eyes out, dear
So I can't see your smug grin
You're right you always win
Untie my hands now
I'm game up to a point
And we're well past bedtime now
All this time away
And I'm freezing cold now
I try hard not to laugh
As she trips up on the step
And her look turns me to stone
I'm closer to the truth
She hates being on her own
But fuck her I'm leaving tonight
Why should I live this way
When I could be with someone else
I don't want to hurt her feelings
Andrew#s a starfighter pilot
He can get high in his jet
Tells me about all his women
He can get any I'll bet
Andrew's a starfighter pilot
He knows all the girls in the world
He's better than James Kirk ir Tweeky
I cradle his picture at night
You know I'll think of you
Your picture on the wall
I would raise my drink to you
But I'll stay sober just for you
Andrew's a starfighter pilot
I watch him on TV each day
I've got all the toys from his programme
To run about with no style chasing her around Dundee
Making sense about as much as nonsense is meant to make sense
Sleeping in cause I'm mortified to go outside today
All this time and I have chnaged so much but sometimes never
Keep in time
All my love I am leaving here because I cannot cope with your man touching you and patronising me
What's his game?
I don't give a toss about what he has to say for himself or anyone for that matter
Keep in time
All this time I'm thinking if I could make you love me
I broke into your house last night
And left a note at your bedside
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb and I'm not sure why
I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out towards you right there
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
I struggle for the words and then give up
My heads up with the birds on the t-hut
A little piece of mind that I know better
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
But after that the floodgates opened up
And I fell in love with everyone I saw
Please take your time I'm not in any rush
And it's in everything I ever write
It's not as if I need the extra weight
Confused enough by life so thanks a lot
Lonely written words for company
I'm good for inspiration, aren't I?
You will find
Well, close the door and I'll go anywhere
You take me to from this bed onto so much more
Care for you, I will
Can I have a picture of you tonight
Keep it with me always in my mind
Tough me cause I can't move
I can barely breathe,
speechless, breathless
I can't tell you if I'm here or not
Running both legs tied together
Arms in the air
Care for you, I will
Can I have a picture of you tonight
I'll get tired of the heart attacks
Every time it rings
I'll put myself on the waiting list
And get it all cleared up
You're the one with the attitude
Don't try and make me out
To be the root of the evil in
The whole rotten affair
Lie back and suffer now
We've both earned our reward
Buried deep in the telegram
I'm sure I never got
Was any clue of the whereabouts
Of all the things I'd lost
Just because you were right before
Doesn't mean you're right
To make up now would just vindicate
Every doubt I had
It's not as simple as
How much you think you care
You would never know
When to take the hint
Broken glass aside
My feelings stay the same
Covered head to toe
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well
And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair
And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me
And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
(Shut your eyes
If I could understand this better
I might be a little closer to you
Brushing my face with her hair
As she pushes past towards the door
That's a little ticklish but please just don't stop
She's probably heard this a million times before
The sweep of her brush is like a gentle lick
It seems to make her like everything you want
Cause if you didn't you'd want her soon enough
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
Faces all screwed up like what I'd done
I didn't mean to hurt you so much
I knew it would hurt you but not like this
We all make a mess from time to time, dear
But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared
Somebody muttered something under their breath
But I let on like I was a little deaf
Nobody's perfect, that's what I say
No one has hurt me so much you say
I'm sorry
Running away seemed like the easy thing to do because I wanted time
To put a smile back on your face
For once nothing's missing and I feel fine
I was afraid to tell you some things
But some things all find a way to get told
Hearing it from the lips of somebody else
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
All this feels strange and untrue
And I'll come running for my life
Scramble through greasy pathways
I can't look up for fear of forwards
I hear your words reverberate
An easy ride is all you said I was
Please try to control your feelings
It doesn't make me want you more
For once I want to be the car crash
Not always just the traffic jam
Hit me hard enough to wake me
And lead me wild to your dark roads
Headlights before me
So beautiful, so clear
Reach out and take it
'Cause I'm so tired of all this fear
My tongue is lost so I can't tell you
Please just see it in my eyes
I pull up thorns from our ripped bodies
And let the blood fall in my mouth
Headlights before me
So beautiful, so clear
Reach out and take it
'Cause I'm so tired of all this fear
Headlights before me
So beautiful, so clear
Reach out and take it
'Cause I'm so tired of all this fear
This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
This is the straw, final straw
In the roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done? It's too late for that
What have I become? Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
Blood red lips like soft intentions
Kiss my eyes - they're black and blue
Even if I shouldn't be here
I cannot help myself with you
There's something that I should have told you
We won't get a second chance
Just one night is all we'll spend
Together and it's killing me
Something snapped me out of a dream that I was having
I'd falled down an elevator shaft but now I'm back again
Tidying up after the fight we had
Happy with yourself?
Well, you've never looked so satisfied
Teasing me with stuff like a spolit little brother
You finished yet?
I've run to ground
I've run from everyone that I have ever known
I'm aching cold
I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
And it's broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can't fix it
And you wish you listened more
To your instincts, to your family
To the wisdom you'd ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us -- for help?
I've crashed to Earth
But I've fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
And it's broke before you know it,
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can;t fix it
And you wish you listened more
To your instincts, to your family
To the wisdom you'd ignored
When you finally gonna ask us -- for help?
I can see you at the front gate
As you wait on my return
The years have blurred to eons
But the tears have never dried
But I'm not coming to you like this
So batter down and sad
I will take the road forgotten
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words, mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have traveled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And your engine's revving, I can hear it from the garden.
I can see it coming, I can see it come for miles.
What you're thinking right now, 'cause I'm sure that I can guess.
If we set off now, we'll have the highway to ourselves.
And you love the little signs of life,
You love it when we lose our minds,
You love these little wars of words,
You love it when they call your name, your name.
A new empire beckons, a new kingdom in the distance,
No gods are present, just the sky, the earth, and us,
No wings, no halos, nor thunder in the footsteps,
Cause fear and anger, they are a law unto themselves.
And you love the little signs of life,
You love it when we lose our minds,
You love these little wars of words,
You love it when they call your name.
It's the weight of love in your arms,
It's the weight of love in your arms,
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms.[X2]
It's just like you told me, that I should learn to let it all go,
Just took 'til now, for me to get just what you meant,
My heart is thumping, I can feel it in my fingers,
No fear, no anger, we are a law unto ourselves.
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms
Wooden floors, wooden floors whisper
And they creak under your sockless feet
A secret door, a door undiscovered
You knock so gently in case you're heard
A record plays a song that you've not heard
It is perfect, it is home
Everything, now everything's different
It is sweeter on your tongue
Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
A symphony, slow music of longing
Plays in movements inside your head
There are no ghosts, no ghosts that can shake you
Like they used to, anymore
Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
You can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
If this is all you ever asked for
The earth is warm next to my ear
Insects noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A side parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Blue as seas, running to them
I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Cover me in anything you'd have on me
Curl my teeth with bitter smiles and cigarettes
Torture me and let me watch you as you fuck him
Bury me in love until I suffocate
'Cause it's easier to make love
Than to crawl across the floor and beg for more
After all this cold I'm sure won't last for long
The Bible thumpers on each corner turn to drink
They only do it to avoid the freezing cold
Their mother chase them out of bars and down the street
'Cause it's easier to hide from
Tell me that you want to dance
I want to feel your pulse on mine
Just treat me like a stolen glance
To yourself
A dark shape on a golden floor
A sleeping planet with a molten core
From above we'd cut a slow eight shape
And much more
I'm a peasant in your princess arms
Penniless with only charm
As we're leveled by the low
Hot lights and disarmed
I'm not afraid of anything
Even time
It'll eke away at everything
But we'll be fine
I'm folded in the bread you made
You're cold until my body bathes
You in the heat I kept aside
All these days
I'm not afraid of anything
Even time
It'll eke away at everything
But we'll be fine
I'm not afraid of anything
Even time
It'll eke away at everything
There's the river, there's the house, and there's the church.
And there's us years ago.
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we hide ourselves.
Yes we were just kids, but you couldn't tell us that.
These are the garden rules,
That's what you always said.
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you.
You would call the garden rules out like a manse,
And we would all obey.
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke,
And puncture the pretend.
And we would chase ourselves until the sun forgot to shine.
And our parents called our names,
Until just you and I were left.
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.
From your house above the river,
to the church by the side of fields,
Amongst the lavender of headstones,
And the larks on a Sunday close.
Your father comes to you as he's looking at his watch,
You leave me with a kiss on my quickly heating cheek.
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you.
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you.
It?s not something, I need to explain again
I won?t be caught inside this time
You can?t just leave me having done the hard work
When I don?t want anything from here
Stop your stallin'
Just give me more than you should
Before we?re all in
The same mess I?m in now
I will not call you 'cos I know he?ll answer the phone
There?s something stunning
About the way we lie till it?s gone
All I want is one more hour with you
It?s all I ever wanted out of this
I only did it so I would be near you
I have never done something like this
Stop your stallin'
Just give me more than you should
Before we?re all in
The same mess I?m in now
I will not call you 'cos I know he?ll answer the phone
There?s something stunning
A hand upon my forehead
A joke and then a laugh
Waking up in your arms
A place to call my own
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
Ireland in the World Cup
Either North or South
The fan club on the jukebox
The birds and yes the bees
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
Words of reassurance
But only if they're true
Just some simple kindness
No vengeance from the Gods
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
To share what I've been given
Some kids eventually
And (?) than what I've had
A father like my dad
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
I wish I had a penny for
Every time she gave me those eyes
Those eyes would cry, "Take me on the floor"
I've been with her once of twice
In my dreams, it felt so nice
I'd do exactly what those eyes told me
There's never a smile on your face
Always a gesture of disgrace
Obviously you're unhappy with my stares that I hold just too long
Of course, I know that it is wrong
But deep down inside, I know you like it
In my little hide, in my little hide
In my little hide, hide, hide, hide
Upon the rack, I'm stretched and split
Demented as I do my bit
Whatever I could do to make you smile
I can't wait to get to bed
Not so I can rest my head
Just so I can dream about you
In my little hide, in my little hide
In my little hide, in my little hide
In my little hide, in my little hide
If only we hadn't gone so far
Things would be different here just now
I didn't know what I had done
Would it be different if you had of come
Now I can take it if you hold me
I met her last night again after hours
The only words I could muster was, erm, hi
We talked for an hour or two then you left
I dreamt that night I lay upon your breast
Hold on, hold on
Let me get the words out before I burst
There's no truth at all
Poking at the giant eyes of ancient Gods
Cool heads have failed
Now it's time for me to have my turn
Kiss me, kiss me
Life is way too short to scream and shout
Flashed up in my wildest dreams the dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you, the veins of me like great forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
And when I wake you're there, I'm saved
Your love is life piled tight and high, set against the sky
That seems to balance on it's own
Sing out, sing out
The silence only eats us from the inside up
I meant no harm
But I only get to say these words too late
Wake up, wake up
Sleeping only leads to more and more nightmares
Snap out of it
You said it in a way that showed you really cared
Flashed up in my wildest dreams the dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you, the veins of me like great forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
And when I wake you're there, I'm saved
Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on it's own
Send your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out
Send your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out
Send your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out
Send your lifeboats out for me
Batten down the hatch
Cause we're all coming in
Like uninvited guests
Romancing everything
Keep your ahnds away
From what you can't afford
We don't think that we'll stay
Now that you look bored
God only knows
What Brian Wilson meant
Pick out your clothes
With some real intent
You don't seem to care
That I've been waiting here
Pulling out my hair
For you to come
My dear
I'll go all the way
As long as you go first
Running all this way
Has given me a thirst
Believe in what you want
As long as you can see
What's right in front of you
You cool your bed-warm hands down
On the broken radiator
And when you lay them freezing on me
I mumble, "Can you wake me later?"
But I don't really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop you
And run your hands from my neck to my chest
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
It's been minutes, it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you
Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
It's like we just can't help ourselves,
Cause we don't know how to back down,
We were called out to the streets,
We were called out into the towns,
How the heaven's they opened up,
Black arms of dazzling gold,
With our rain washed histories,
When we're do not need to be told,
Show me now,
Show me the arms aloft,
Every eye trained on a different star,
This MAGIC, this drunken semaphore
We are listening and we're not blind,
This is your life, this is your time,
We are listening and we're not blind,
This is your life, this is your time
I was called out in the dark,
By a choir of beautiful HEAT,
Now it's the kids took back the parks,
You and I were left with the streets,
Show me now,
Show me the arms aloft,
Every eye trained on a different star,
This MAGIC, this drunken semaphore
We are listening and we're not blind,
This is your life, this is your time,
We are listening and we're not blind,
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind,
This is your life, this is your time,
We are listening and we're not blind,
Strain this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere
Just give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
You're cinematic razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
(I) What If This Storm Ends?
What if this storm ends?
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again
The perfect halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planet's last dance
Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow
Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me
What if this storm ends?
And leaves us nothing
Except a memory
A distant echo
I want pinned down
I want unsettled
Rattle cage after cage
Until my blood boils
I want to see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living
Painted in flames
All peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless
(II) The Sunlight Through The Flags
From here the caravans are kids toys
And I can hold them all in my palm
I watch the sea creep round the corner
It connects the dots from here to you
The sunlight burning through the loose flags
Painted high on white church walls
I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart
Until I'm out of breath for trying
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place you've found
The only noise beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
These accidents of faith and nature
They tend to stick in the spokes of you
But every now and then the trend bucks
And you're repaired by more than glue
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place you've found
The only noise beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
Why don't you rest your fragile bones
A minute ago you looked alone
Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry
Breathe in and drink up the winter sky
(III) Daybreak
Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
The one on the corner you said frightened you
It was too dark and too large to find your soul in
Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs
You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
We both laugh out loud and surrender to it
The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth
Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you...)
Don't you breathe
Something happened, that I never understood
You can't leave
Every second, dripping off my fingertips
Wage your war
Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
Well I am scared
In slow motion, the blast is beautiful
Doors slam shut
A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away
The perfect words never crossed my mind,
Cuz there was nothin' in there but you.
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out.
There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cuz I need you to guide me to safety.
No, I don't want to wait forever
In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire.
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.
I haven't left here yet, but I'm trying
I'm still tied to the bed
Can you come here?
When you come, would you please bring a knife
And cure me down
Cause this is larger than life and I'm frightened
100 things you should have done in bed
But you never had the chance to try them
At least the dog has a smile on its face
I'm drained and I'm dry and I'm sore
It's not that bad if she could be here all the time
It would kill me
Sworn to secrecy, I might go after school
She was an angel, I saw her swimming there
I am in such a mess I can't cope with this
She just teases me, pretends she can't see me here
So let me go up there I can be fresh air
Stay with you all night, just let me love you
Just for a while or two
Be with you all night be with you all night
Till I fall asleep, till I fall asleep
Till I fall asleep, till I fall asleep
Just let me be here, I won't tell anyone
Don't wanna wake up, don't wanna wake up
The blind lead the blind, so I can't help find my way
This could be heaven I don't know where I am
I am too scared to come out from behind here
My body is aching it feels like it's wearing me
So let me go up there, I can be fresh air
Stay with you all night, just let me love you
Just for a while or two
Be with you all night, be with you all night
Till I fall asleep, till I fall asleep
Till I fall asleep, till I fall asleep
Just let me be here, I won't tell anyone
If you were here beside me
Instead of in New York
If the curve of you is curved on me
I'd tell you that I love you
Before I ever knew you
'Cause I love the simple thought of you
If our hearts are never broken
then there's no joy in the mending
There's so much this heart can teach us both
Though there's distance and there's silence
Your words have never left me
You're the prayer that I say every day
Come on
Come out
Come here
Come here
The long neon nights and the ache of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps me in two
If you were here beside me
Instead of in New York
In the arms you said you'd never leave
I'd tell you that it's simple
And it was only ever thus
There is no where else that I belong
Come on
Come out
Come here
Come here
The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps me in two
Just give me a sign
There's an end and a beginning
To the quiet chaos driving me mad
The long neon night and the want of the ocean
You might think your cursed
But what's so much worse
Is the knowledge that you are
When your cursed with love
That is buried so deep
That you can't dig it out of you
When your crystal ball
Is a towering wall
And the road is a dark book end
You know what remains
Is what needs maintain
But your temper Is not your friend
Take it easy on me now my brothers
Take it easy on me now my brothersWhen their games are
driving you up the wall
And their wearing you like a crown
But you're jar trapped bees
And it's plain to see
That you can't tell what's up or down
Take it easy on me now my brothers
Take it easy on me now my brothers
Well it's no surprise
In those steel blue eyes
I can still see some flecks of fear
But you've grown up fast
So forget the past
And just hurry yourself from here
Take it easy on me now my brothers
Take it easy on me now my brothers
Take it easy on me now my brothers
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
What a riot
Never go back down, well it's anybody's guess
And I'll come running for my life
Scramble through these greasy pathways
I can't look up for fear of forwards
I hear your words reverberate
An easy ride is all you said I was
An easy ride is all you said I was
An easy ride is all you said I was
An easy ride is all you said I was
Please try to control your feelings
It doesn't make me want you more
I'm terrified by every vacant
Glance you shoot across my way
An easy ride is all you said I was
An easy ride is all you said I was
An easy ride is all you said I was
On our way from Stockholm
It started to snow
You said it was like Christmas
You were wrong
It wasn't like Christmas at all
By the time we got to Oslo
The snow was gone
And we got lost
The beds were small
But we felt so young
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
People say we got it made don't they know we're so afriad
we're afraid to be alone, everbody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
All the world is a little town
everybody trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
after you caused so much pain
But the again you're not to blame
your just a human, a victim of the insane
We're afrain of everyone, afraid of the sun
Isolation
The Sun will never disappear
but the world my not have many years
All these words are broken
They're everything I have
All my words are spoken
They how misbehave
I find it harder to resist (x2)
Play me like your own hand
Its closer than you think
All I know is I can
Push you off the brink
I find it harder to resist (x2)
All my bulbs are broken
They're everything I have
All my words are broken
Its how I miss the grave
I find it harder to resist (x2)
Play me like your own hand
I'm closer than you think
All I know is I can
Push you in the tank
I find it harder to resist (x2)
The winter's marked the earth
It's floored was frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you
The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in the silence
Before you sank those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you, it's all for you
It's all for you, it's all for you
Just close your eyes and count to five
Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise
Set down your glass, I painted this
To look like you and me forever as we're now
And I'm shaken then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine
I lose simple skills
Like to tell you all I want is now
You sing, I'm killed, I'm just not the same
As I was a year ago and each minute since then
My jumper tears as we take it off
You say you'll sew me good as new and I know you will
And I'm shaken then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine
I lose simple skills
Like to tell you all I want is now
And I'm shaken then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine
I lose simple skills
My wounds are nicely slated dear
I never got to thank you right
I was finished way before I could see
Quite what you had in mind for me
I'm doing cartwheels
Now the pessimism in me yawns
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
A voice calls out behind my back
and i take off into the grounds
I'm doing Cartwheels
It'll all tie me up into knots
I diddn't mean to speak out of turn
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
now the party's really in full swing
I wish i had a friend I could ring
I'm doing cartwheels
You're really loving this aren't you dear
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
With nowhere else to run to now
Just stay and face the music
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
I look and stare so deep in your eyes,
I touch on you more and more every time,
When you leave I'm begging you not to go,
Call your name two or three times in a row,
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame.
'Cuz I know I don't understand,
Just how your love your doing no one else can.
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
When I talk to my friends so quietly,
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me,
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress,
If you ain't there ain't nobody else to impress,
The way that you know what I thought I knew,
It's the beat my heart skips when I'm with you,
But I still don't understand,
Just how the love your doing no one else can.
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (oh crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (you're in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (love!)

Young Hov y'all know when the flow is loco,
Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh,
Ol' G, big homie, the one and only,
Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony, Soprano,
The ROC handle like Van Axel,

The genuine article I go I do not sing though,

But how you think I got the name Hova?

Fall back young, ever since the label changed over
to platinum the game's been wrap, One!

Got me looking, so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this,

You got me sprung and I don't care who sees,

Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's,
A teenage dream's
So hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighborhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Teenage kicks right throught the night
I wanna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos' I'm all alone
I need excitement I need it bad
And she's the best i've ever had
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Talk to the trees
That's why they take me away
I married the game so no one really sees what it's done to me
A little obsessed by how much I depend
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes,
they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
You can't find the fall, so you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can walk away anyway
Because you've nowhere else to go
Don't kill love now, don't kill love
Don't kill love now, don't kill love
Keeping up all night and the night before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling but we're sick
And there's strangers everywhere
Don't kill love now, don't kill love
Don't kill love now, don't kill love
Only little, only a little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deep, plea in the silence, no sound or moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the cuffs off her and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy upon from here, right, I know there is
This isn't everything you are
When you took the call, how could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
When you wish you'd rant home days ago
To say goodbye, or just hello
Don't kill love now, don't kill love
Don't kill love now, don't kill love
Only little, only a little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deep, plea in the silence, no sound or moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the cuffs off her and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy upon from here, right, I know there is
This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are
I'm not saying it was your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done Kooks
Your such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way
Something so beautiful
That everytime I look inside
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I may say it was your fault
Cause I know you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way something so beautiful
Everytime I look inside
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh you're so naive yet so Lyric
Such an ugly thing
Someone so beautiful
And everytime you're on his side
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking Liedertext
True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
I will hang on the hook of your splendor
As the night rolls us up in its arms
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers
Is the blanket of the sky that's so warm
I know it's late but I can't help but think here
That the day hasn't shown all its cards
Now it's out to the stars of the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until light turns to sun
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
I watch as they fly for sheer joy
The wind shakes the branches above us
And the cars shake the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
