Your eyes like mine, took me by surprise like summer rain
Knocked down, heart pounds but my head keeps spinning
I'll give all the love I've been saving up
A whole red balloon, as I'll fall deeper with you
You've got to know you bring joy to everything
Then do we do energy (?)
Still proud I'm out, out of this tired and lonely game
First time in my life I see my faith unfolding
And I'll give all the love I've been saving uW
A whole red balloon, as I'll fall deeper with you
You've got to know you bring joy to everything
Then do we do energy (?)
The light that came to us without a warning
We can't control the steady pace of morning
And I'll give all the love I've been saving up
A whole red balloon, as I'll fall deeper with you
You've got to know you bring joy to everything
Still,
I think of you, baby
And how i grew old with you then
And this summer, you'll call-maybe
And act as if we were old friends
You'd say, 'how are you, baby'
I'd say, 'it's raining in athens'
And to this day
I nurse the fever
That spoiled my poor heart
And i've mastered the art of dealing
Slipping away without falling apart
So when this summer, you call-maybe
And ask how
I've been
I can be honest and answer plainly
Somethings wrong you say
I looked into those eyes a hundered times a day
those deep blue wells so vague
elusive as christ until the day
the secrets spilled into my room
down the phone line into view
I've waited all my life to know
why our light is gone
our white light that's home
maybe love and peace are waiting for us
somewhere other than this world
at least we pray
lalalaa etc.
I'll write you and in my dreams
I'll lay on your chest to muffle your screams
and all the love I see I'll hold it close to me
in hopes that one day our secrets will be free
but now our light is gone
our white light that's home
maybe love and peace are waiting for us
somewhere other than this world
so we pray
With every word i live again
through the eyes of another,
we'll meet at night wet from the rain
and suprise each other
with how we take away the pain
could you be the one
to find me safe and sound
love is how it's lost not how it's found
i don't know those eyes
but i see beauty there always
i know it's wrong to love you from afar
but it's a craze
you recognize my pain,
could you be the one
to find me safe and sound
love is how it's lost not how it's found
love is how it's lost not how it's found
You'll take away my pain
could you be the one
to find me safe and sound
love is how it's lost not how it's found
love is how it's lost not how it's found,
love is when i'm lost not when i'm found.
We can make plans
I'll give all I can
You were my man
On the gold coast sand
You can go to New Orleans
Take the river front-line
But don't leave my mind
You can go each day takes you
Some place I can't find
But don't leave my mind
We can break plans
I'll keep all I can
You'll be my friend
And start over again
And you can go to New York City
Get a place on the east side
But donýt leave my mind
And you can go where no one knows you
Where the winter is kind
But donýt leave my mind
Ohhh
And you can go I can't find you
There's no space, there's no time
But don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind
I told them all the ones i love
I'm leaving and i may not return
See lately i've been overcome
A feeling i fear has just begun
The pain i feel deep inside
That haunts us all that we will die
Never really knowing how it feels
To be alive
Through mountains and over seas
Through misery and disease
A spectator i played my part
But nothing could move this heart
Until i held the boys hand
The little one spoke like a man
He showed me death and said
This is how you know you're alive
A kingfisher in flight
You'll rise above the sea of doubts
Into a world full of clouds
With every word i live again
Through the eyes of another
We'll meet at night wet from the rain
And surprise each other
With how we take away the pain
Could you be the one to find me safe and sound
Love is how it's lost not how it's found
I don't know those eyes
But i see beauty there always
I know it's wrong to love you from afar
But it's a craze
You recognize my pain
Could you be the one to find me safe and sound
Love is how it's lost.. not how it's found
Love is how it's lost.. not how it's found
I'll take away your pain
Could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
Love is how it's lost .. not how it's found
Love is how it's lost .. not how it's found
Today i'll crawl out of bed
I can't stand your shadow is too heavy to lift
Maybe we'll go for a ride
You said you'd take me nowhere
I said that suits me just fine
I know you've always been near
Whispering secrets i know i'm not supposed to hear
Hold your heart with two hands
Give it to me only to disappear
Look how low i've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll only lose you when i'm high
All alone in the dark
Love survives only when we are apart
Your voice still sounds in my ears
With the brushing of our shoulders
I lived a life with you
We had a son or daughter who had my eyes
And your laughter echoed after you
All of this in a brief stare
A feleeting glimpse of happiness shared
That made our bodies burn and shiver
As we passed each other unaware
I am not to think of your face, of your name
For when i do, you are there
Lying next to another
I can only wonder
Lesse mon cour vous abondonne
We exchanged words
Through smoke-filled mouths
And then we found our bodies
Speaking loud
And our hearts pressed against the flesh
Trading stories
Of love's pain
Doubt
And rivaling insecurities
When did we learn to speak without words?
And in tongues?
You held my hand
Led me to the water
You pushed me in
I went under
They were your firm hands
That made me falter
You held my hand
Led me to the altar
You wept for me
Lord, absolve her
They were your weak hands
That made me stronger
You held my hand
Led me homeward
I looked for you
You were nowhere
Holding tight my hand
Seven days Lyrics
They're seven days below us
That keep me hovered above the ground
And nights just blend into the morning
Definition is the first to go down
If i were to stay here between us
I might forget where i'm bound
So i can't stay in between us
I guess i'll walk away
And here to read the future
But forced to breathe out the past
And too many conversations
To uncover what was purposefully lost
and we all looked so desparate
showing the guidance that we lack
And we used to be so wistful
I guess we feel it's safer holding back
If i were to stay here between us
I might forget where i'm bound
So i can't stay in between us
When I was a child a story was told
About the devil and a girl oh so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
And lovers abound
But she lifted her soul
She lifted her soul clean oh clean
And like the story was told
On a dark country road
The same man appeared to me
But I reached
I reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
Now twenty years later to the place I return
Where I scorned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me, oh please
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth I try not to believe
That I reached I reached
If you could guess how the world will end
Would pockets of dreams, be emptied in two co-end
And scattered like leaves
We'll be right at the bar
And everyone looks like someone you used to know
In the fog of city
And how could you love?
And how could you forget, so quickly
Where you were, when you loved me, and you loved me, hurts
Is love everywhere?
Is sadness everywhere?
So I'll keep moving, I keep moving on
If you could guess how the world will end
Would á¹—ockets of dreams, be emptied in two co-end
And scattered like leaves
Was it the way that you woke
And the hat that you wore, or maybe that laugh
You're overly friendly,
But it's so strange and, you must remember
There's love everywhere
There's sadness everywhere?
Follow blind
Heavy eyes hold position
You were right on time
It was a lucky prediction
Move on move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on move on
No there's nothing changing
Don't undermine
My new resolution
Just to find
A different light a new direction
Move on move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget i won't forget the way you said
Move on move on
Lay your head in my lap
Let the sound of my laugh comfort you now here in the cold
Your face gets wet as the drink slips from my hand
The faster i drive the harder i cry don't worry i'll get us there
And i look down at you
You look up at me
We're a real fucked up family
We make it home this place is a mess
The smell of cologne mixed with all that we own
Not much i must confess
I hold your hand as you slip from me
As i watch your breath i say to myself one day this will all end
And i look at you
You look at me
We're a real fucked up family
All night i feel it inside
But i know you're right as i begin to pack
Without raising your eyes i hear you sigh oh you'll be back
Because i look to you and you look to me
I called you on the phone
I said i was confused and in a daze
You said this uncertainty one day i would crave
So i wrote down exactly how i wanna live
And now it's a promise i'll never give
And it's a faint line
I'll trace to recreate
A semblance of love
Of some stability
It's just a faint line
I'll trace to recreate
A semblance of love
Of some stability
It's just a faint line
I'll trace to recreate
A semblance of love
Of some stability
It's just a faint line
Let's talk and we'll fill the air with imagery that lasts forever
So this is love that's a lovely thought
You have to care for it to keep it together
If you fall will you get up
You're stuck in a dream will you wake up
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold will you stay warm
You drift too far will you swim towards the shore
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
Lets just sing and we'll fill the air with melodies that blend together
You speak so sweet with words so delicate
A glass i hope will never shatter
If you fall will you get up
You're stuck in a dream will you wake up
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold will you stay warm
You drift too far will you swim towards the shore
I will take your childhood dreams
And turn them into to beautiful film
I will take your most important things
Cast them gold fill a mueseum
So your heart doesn't know where mine's been
I'll never let your heart go where mine's been
I will kiss away every tear
They'll disappear in my mouth
And i will believe in all your fears
You let them in, i'll let them out
And put them in their place, my love
So your heart doesn't know where mine's been
I'll never let your heart go where mine's been
Standing in front of you
They fade into the wall
And leave behind nothing
Nothing at all
I know i don't understand how they forget
How some will just pass us by
And take what they can get
I know i don't understand how weightless they must be
Without feeling
Without feeling
Without feeling
Grasping with my fingernails
As they tear through your skin
Leaving no signs of pain
No wounds to mend
I know i don't understand how they forget
How some will just pass us by
And take whay they can get
I know i don't understand how weightless they must be
Without feeling
Without feeling
Without feeling
I know i don't understand how they forget
How some will just pass us by
And take whay they can get
I know i don't understand how weightless they must be
Without feeling
Hold on love
Even when i cry all night
Even when i say i don't love you
Just hold on love
So my head gets a little cloudy
And the drink goes straight to my heart
The the words come like a runaway train
In the dark
Just hold on love
Even when i scream and fight
Even when i swear i don't love you
Just hold on tight
And when the darkness falls over
Like a storm cloud in my head
Something inside says it's easier
To push you away but stay and
Hold on love
Even when i cry all night
Even when i swear i don't love you
Just hold on love
Just hold on love
We're the same
We're five years old
Still trying to change this mold
In the open air i'm cold
No purpose no reasons told
And while i'm waiting for something to say
I'm here in vain
I picked up this broken key
I'll love no one and let no one love me
I'll wait for morning before opened eyes
No one's crying not yet realized
And in the meantime i have nothing to say
Fever i know you've come to take my love
Go away
Fever i know your face just like a dove
Fly away
Fever turn the lights out
Take a different road
Let us be
Fever i know you've come to take my love
Go away
Fever i know in god i shouldn't trust
He's so far away
Fever turn the lights out
Take a different road
Let us be
Fever take a different route
Travel a different road
Let us be
Fever i know you've come to take my love
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
We'll just stay tucked in the shade and our eyes they can't be blinded
We'll just stay tucked in the shade
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And the sky on such a memorable night
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
And the angels had watched over you
As you crossed over the bridge
And your mother how she wept for you
On the day you turned your heart
And when your blood is gone how will you survive
And your dreams they don't stay in your mind
They are hiding in the night
And you think that this will be alright
Because the lord he was here at one time
But when your blood is gone
Just an hour and we'll be home
With my family that i chose
You're my family
And on the pavement still gripping the phone
You came and wrapped your arms around my soul
And we were shaking and you're so much a part of me
And so this is why i'm here
When we called you
You came so fast
And sat beside me while hours and days past
I'll always thank you for that
And there you were
With your heart made of gold
So strong, the only thing holding us up
And we knew you would always be so close
And so this is why i'm here
And then there was you
You always made us laugh
And you would help us to find the right path
And there is no one as full of life
Immovable tower come crashing down
An uncertain hour in this little town
Will you step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
You could spend your whole life putting blocks back in place
With each trebling hand covering up the face
That seeks high places
Greedy dragonfly
So show a new man your old smile
Indomitable portrait that hangs in your mind
Waiting to be unveiled in your darkest time
So step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
I'm saving all i'm not giving
But it's overflowing, evaporating in the air
As i'm walking, i know i'm not breathing, i'm not breathing only air
It's filled with words once spoken by people everywhere
And i can hear all the whispers that have lived a thousand years
It just took me being open for them to reach my eager ears
Now they've reached my eager ears
And i hope i'll be ready
We met on that wednesday night
I was down but you were so bright
I remember that wednesday night so well
We played guitar all those afternoons
Heard records on the floor of your room
I knew that i would fall in love with you
When you told me my surprise
I looked and asked you why did you tell me now
We were sitting in the chair
You whispered in my ear
Let's go home now
I'm thinking of the 4th of july
Holding hands looking up at the sky
I remember the 4th of july so well
I know that you're always with me
I feel the strength you're giving me
I wake up each morning
Go to work at eight
Come home for dinner
Time to celebrate
So i round up my friends
We made it through another week
We may not have much
But we've got what we need
So we go all night
Until i see his face
Then the party's over
This drink has no taste
He makes me lonely
When he comes around
I tried for years to beat this one down
I've got all my friends
Couldn't ask for more
But he makes me lonely
Now i've travelled across the ocean
With the same shoes just longer hair
I still carry that picture in my wallet
From the photo booth yeah it's still there
Just give me some kind of sign
Is this the right place
Or the right time
Now i've landed in the midwest
Where you lived so long ago
Remember i was always freezing
And now i'm covered up in snow
Please give me some kind of sign
Is this the right place
Drive away
Just get on the interstate
And slip through this closing gate
Pulled into this cheap hotel
I called just to wish you well
You said don't let love break you down
Well just show me how and let me never be broken
Tomorrow a new point of view
These white lights will bend to make blue
Now this can all look new to you
Are you still living there
Walking the streets with your hollow stare
You say there's loneliness everywhere
So we have nothing to loose
The music plays all day long
And sorrow looks beautiful
And lovers seem mystical
Tomorrow a new point of view
These bright lights will bend to make blue
I never expected you to love me
The way i loved you
To have you near
Was all
I wanted
Just to have you near
It's funny how you can forget there's a world outside yourself
Where the trees keep growing and the cars keep moving
Without you there
Land it's funny how you can forget there's a world outside yourself
Where the one who loves you keeps on living
We pried open my window
And let the summer rush in
And we laughed with the new air
Now i lay and watch the green leaves
Dance and whisper sweet breath
A promise of a new year
Ooooh
On this day
Ooooh
On this day
We were born into the new year
And after the winter broke
We held hands and we ran
And we agreed that it had been a long one
Ooooh
On this day
Ooooh
On this day
It's all in the eyes
The reckless way we dream to die
Our past is our future
The present lies
Somewhere between our hearts and minds
For those with no future
We'll touch hands on the street
Smile and keep moving on towards the heat
So keep this a secret, oh love of mine
They are elephants we are mice
We'll walk this earth somnambulant kin
With broken hearts that cannot mend
Losers first and second men
We'll do our best to blend in
You could reach out for my hand and i yours
Deliver water to soothe the burn
We'll drink our tears and thirst for more
Oh love of mine
They are elephants we are mice
So keep this a secret
Keep this a secret
Riding on these waves
Holding on to what you say
Everything will be okay
it will work out one way
But I've drifted way too far
my arms my legs have grown too tired
And could you be inspired, now I'm just tired
And on a swing you push me hard
So I'll come back to where you are
And you know I'm never far
no decisions nothing hard
And I knew that it would ring tonight
I'll take the bus or the next flight
I won't give up on what feels right
If you see these tears fill in my eyes
It's just the wind that makes me cry
If you could feel this pain inside
It's from the drinks we drank last night
It's from the drinks we drank last night
The shadow of our past,
projects on clouds of dust and gas
The ones where my eyes will rest,
a silhouette of loneliness
If you see these tears fill in my eyes
It's just the wind that makes me cry
If you could feel this pain inside
It's from the drinks we drank last night
Fill these spaces up with days
In my room, you can go, you can stay
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
Now these years locked in my drawer
I'll open to see just to be sure
And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes to shift my point of view
And watching through my own light
As it tints the shade of you
Hold my wine hold it in
Nobody's lost but nobody wins
And I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes to shift my point of view
And watching through my own light
As it tints the shade of you
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't speak to you, I can't sleep
You said to write you a song
So here, this is for you
Now as you toss through those lonely nights
Just know there is someone thinking of you
Everyone is waiting for the timing to be right
And we hope it's coming soon
So just rest your eyes and then...
You'll be in love again
We talked and the moon was bright
Your words were glowing as they drifted out of sight
But now the change of the seasons sets in and nothing, nothing feels just right
We fear these nights and then we compromise
Yeah, but morning always comes
So I'm waiting for this test to end
So these lighter days can soon begin
I'll be alone but maybe more carefree
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly
I was afraid to be alone
Now I'm scared thats how I'd like to be
All these faces none the same
How can there be so many personalities
So many lifeless empty hands
So many hearts in great demand
And now my sorrow seems so far away
Until I'm taken by these bolts of pain
But I turn them off and tuck them away
'till these rainy days that make them stay
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs
And the words still ring, once here now gone
And they echo through my head everyday
And I dont think they'll ever go away
Just like thinking of your childhood home
But we cant go back we're on our own
But i'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself
I'll find it in myself
So were speeding to that time of year
To the day that marks that you're not here
And i think I'll want to be alone
So please understand if I dont answer the phone
I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls
Until I can see nothing at all
Only particles some fast some slow
All my eyes can see is all I know
Ohh..
But I'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself
You didn't say the words i would have said
You couldn't help the doubt that filled your head
It's just an ordinary try
We learn to live we live to die
Just accept and don't ask why
My lips the form a crooked smile
Giving a sign of no reply
And when you wake up freezing in a room dark and empty
We'll just keep singing along
I'm not what you write in your books
and no, i'm nothing like a song.
And will you answer me i already know
I asked you to answer but i already know
And can you come back home you already know
You don't ask because you already know
It's an unfamiliar song
You said you'd like to sing along
But you couldn't change the key
I can't sing it doesn't suit me
When i wake up freezing but know half believing
It was this i feared
Because it's not just the words that you whispered in my ear
And will you answer me i already know
I asked you to answer but i already know
And can you come back home you already know
You don't ask because you already know
And you tread on the water
When you know you can touch the bottom now
It's the southern way, said your mother,
" Stay in shallow, shallow water
Don't touch the ground. "
But then a slithering, sliding form
catches you before you reach the shore.
And as he strikes, full of venom,
you reach out towards the trouble.
You've got him now, but how?
And you thrust him to the sky.
Arms raised high, you make a Y.
There is no fear, there is no pain inside.
As you twist and writhe...
This is how you remember yourself.
This is how you remember yourself.
Arms raised high, needing no help.
This is how you remember yourself.
And you know you can't keep this steady pose,
you must release him somehow.
But as you loosen your hold.
The fight you felt, it is old.
It's over now.
His body, lifeless and cold,
you throw him down.
And you raise your arms up to the sky.
Raised high, you make a Y.
There is no fear, there is no pain inside.
As the sun still shines on these drying lines...
This is how you remember yourself.
This is how you remember yourself.
Arms raised to heaven, needing no help.
Why does she sing these sad songs for me
I'm not the one to tenderly bring her soft sympathy
I've just begun to see my way clear, it's plain if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and that's all
What does she want me to do?
She says that she knows moments are rare
I suppose that it's true and on she goes to say
I don't care when she knows that I do
Well, maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
To decide that she's wrong
She'd like to think I was cruel, she knows that's a lie
For I would be no more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me
Oh my sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans
If she could see how I feel then I know she'd understand
Does she actually think I'm to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine
Could relieve all her pain?
Can't she see that she grieves just
Because she's been blindly deceived by her shame?
Well, maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
To decide that she's wrong
I know nothings what it seems maybe one day she'll start to realize
That if she abandons her dreams
Then all the words she can say are only lies
When will she see that the gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains and I got to refuse
But it's only to herself that she's lied
She likes to pretend it's something
That she should defend, with her pride
And I don't intend to stand here
And be the friend from whom she must hide
Well, maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
To decide that she's wrong
Well, maybe she just has to sing
You could go anywhere anytime and find someone
But how will you know if he's kind
The sun is out but happiness
Only reminds you of the people you hurt
Mistakes that you made when you were down
And where are you now
You're sweeping up these sorry streets
And i knew somehow when you looked up and over me
That you could look up these words
But you still won't understand
They mean nothing to you
So write them in the sand
And watch the water wash them away
You could sit on your front porch
And watch the wasps dive down
You could go out every night
And force cheap beer down
You could go all day
It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If i can just hold on tonight
I know that nothing
Nothing survives
Nothing survives
I think i'm turned around
I'm looking up
Not looking down
And when i'm standing still
Watching you run
Watching you fall
Fall into me
Am i making something worthwhile out of this place
Am i making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced
And she's my friend of all friends
She's still here when everyone's gone
She doesn't have to say a thing
We'll just keep laughing all night long
All night long
Am i making something worthwhile out of this place
Am i making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced
It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If i can just hold on tonight
I know that no one
No one survives
Someone else's boy, you've had it so hard,
Will you grow up to be you,
Or a sum of your parts just hanging in the air?
Someone else's boy, tell me your convoluted stories through half-rotten mouth,
I will decipher them, to tell the world of your heart,
How beautiful things can come from the dark,
Oh, boy
Someone else's boy, I have seen your face,
Light in the stars, it was then I knew,
That your heart was pure, that it had not yet been destroyed,
Oh, no
Someone else's boy, I have hope for you,
That you will keep your love for the world,
Even though it beats you down, every day,
For the rest of your stay
If you could sweep up the pieces and watch them swirl,
You could even find love in the arms of someone else's girl
Someone else's boy, though your life has been short,
You've seen more pain than most of us know,
If you make it through this, vacuum up the mess,
