i don't wanna talk about it (x8)
i see ahead of me a light that takes my breath
if we're only ever looking back, then how can we expect
to see each other as we are, for all that we've become
would be friends at all if we weren't friends when we was young?
and i want to feel close to you for more than just a sake,
of the place that we grew up in and all them times that we got baked in the park
look, if you take me apart, you'll find half of me is you but half of me is asking me to start a new
you look the same but i don't recognise you, i look at you dead in the face, i can't find you
don't like the way we always talk in the past tense,
can't explain the presence till you work out what the past meant
these are the days that bond us together, forever
these are the things that define us, forever, ever
all this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
it's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
there's a man i've known for years, and still to this day do i know him
i love him very much, it's very hard for me to show him
back then and even now i feel there's something that i owe him
and that feeling should be going over time but no it's growing
we was kid mates, making mistakes, playing pisstake
big hearts battling them big snakes, rattling their tails
he was like the wind in my sails, i was like the water for his keel, that was real
it use to hurt my flesh that his worn scars were heated still
he use to hurt his flesh just to see if he could feel
he took out a long straw, he was never really the strong sort
got in to the wrong sport, big swigs, long snorts
caught in that spiral, saw attempts to help him sparkle
but soon he got fall down that he got on the brown, word got round
people did not like the sound, they told me to stop popping round to see him
i kept disagreeing, soon he was a different being
he got in to stealing, robbing, afterwards you'd think would open eyes were throbbing
you could stop him freaking out, but to speak about the things that made him weak, his doubt
and to stop his rolling sentence, faced with paper pen to write his actions spoke dependance
friendship became difficult to say the least, he played the beast so well
i wondered how i could ever make our peace
that's when we drifted, never argued, it just became clear
the past you been my love, so we'd slowly disappear
those are the days that bind us together, forever
these little things define us, forever, forever
all this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
it's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
ready or not, here i come, you can't hide
i'm going to find you and take it slowly
ready or not, here i come, you can't hide
Walking out into the dark
Cutting out a different path
Lead by your beating heart
All the people of the town
Cast their eyes right to the ground
In matters of the heart
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Summer evening breezes blew
Drawing voices deep from you
Lead by your beating heart
What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
All that we got to be thankful for
All that we got to be thankful for
In the heat, try to love these streets
In this town, it all went down
our cromosones in C-P-R tones
in my mind, in my mind
Where you lead your lives
Before from our small island
brought right back to these shores
to these shores, to these shores
It's alive, It's alive
when I see it through your eyes
It's alive, It's alive
Now I understand your lies
Will you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
Will you take me there
We drive through the city
beneath the Durban Skies
Oh oh oh..
All that we got to be thankful for
On the day you made your vows
The heaven's open, the rain poured down, poured down
Down, Down
Grey and brown, the seventees
It shoots you war, and the ones you love
were so young, were so young, boy, were so young
It's alive, It's alive
when I see it through your eyes
It's alive, It's alive
Now I understand your lies
Will you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
Will you take me there
We drive through the city
beneath the Durban Skies
oh oh oh..
All that we got to be thankful for
All that we got to be thankful for
All that we got to be thankful for
It's alive, It's alive
when I see it through your eyes
It's alive, It's alive
Now I understand your lies
Will you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
Will you take me there
We drive through the city
beneath the Durban Skies
Will you take me there
it's alive, It's alive
Will you take me there
There's an albatross around your neck,
All the things you've said,
and the things you've done,
Can you carry it with no regrets,
Can you stand the person you've become,
Ooh there's a light
Ooh there's a light
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living
Stepping forward out into the day
Shrugging off the dust and memory
Though it's soaring still above your head
It is out of sight and none shall see
Oooh there's a light
Ooh there's a light
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to shake
The heavy weight of Living
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't take
The heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to take
The heavy weight of Living
The Weight of Living
The Weight of Living
The Weight of Living
We'll make our agreements,
About when to meet,
And I'll leave you in the doorway,
The cold evening aches,
As it leaves in its wake,
All the memories left by the day,
And I'm questioning why,
As you look to the sky,
That it's cloudless up above our heads,
And thoughts come to mind,
that our short little lives,
Haven't left the path that they will tread,
They will tread,
I come back to haunt you,
Memories will taunt you,
And I will try to love you,
It's not like I'm above you,
The wisdom we learn as our minds,
They do burn'll,
Entice the naivety in youth,
As adults will grow and maturity shows,
The terrifying rarity of truth,
As you turn to your mind,
And your thoughts they rewind,
To old happenings and things that are done,
You can't find what's passed,
Make that happiness last,
Seeing from those eyes what you become,
Well you become,
I come back to haunt you,
Memories will taunt you,
And I will try to love you,
It's not like I'm above you,
I will see you there,
See you there,
See you there,
I'll come back to haunt,
Memories will taunt you,
And I will try to love you,
(Verse 1)
You took me to your favourite place on earth
To see the tree they cut down ten years from your birth
Our fingers traced in circles round its history
We brushed our hands right back in time through century's eyes
(Fill)
You ha-a-a-a-ave
a dou-ou-ou-ou-oubt
You said:
(Chorus)
I'll see you in the future when we're older
And we are full of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll see you with your laughter lines
(Verse 2)
Changes on our hands and on our faces
Oh-oh
Memories are mapped out by the guides
will trace eyes
(Back to fill+chorus)
(Bridge)
I shouldn't face this in cruel breeze
I shouldn't face this in cruel breeze
All the stories you will leave
Oh-oh
All the stories you will leave
(Back to Chorus)
(Outro)
I'll see you in the future when we're old
I'll see you in the future when we're old
Tell me a piece of your history
that you're proud to call your own,
speak in words you picked up
as you walked through life alone.
We used to swim in your stories
and be pulled down by their tide,
choking on the words
and drowning with no air inside.
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
my dear, my dear, my dear.
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore,
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)
Tell me a piece of your history
that you've never said out loud,
pull the rug beneath my feet
and shake me to the ground.
Wrap me around your fingers,
break the silence open wide,
and before it seeps into my ears,
it fills me up from the inside.
Now you've hit a wall and you're lost for words,
my dear, my dear, my dear.
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill this silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore,
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
What you good for, what you good for?
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
What you good for, what you good for?
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
What you good for, what you good for?
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
What you good for, what you good for?
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill this silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore,
Don't talk to strangers.
Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side
It is the hole you impose upon your life
When you're out, loneliness, it crawls up in the ground
It's what you feel, but can't articulate out loud.
Oh you go to sleep on your own and you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone
It's a last resort
All you want is someone onto whom you can cling
Your mother warned of strangers and the dangers they may bring
Your dreams and memories are blurring into one
The scenes which hold the waking world slowly come undone
You'll come undone
Oh, you go to sleep on your own,
And you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone,
It's a last resort
You go to sleep on your own
And you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone, it's a last resort
OhOhOh...
Don't talk to strangers,
And don't walk into danger.
Don't talk to strangers,
And don't walk into danger.
Oh you go to sleep on your own,
And you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone,
It's a last resort
You go to sleep on your own,
And you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone,
It's a last resort
Don't talk to strangers
Oh you go to sleep on your own,
And you wake each day with your thoughts
And it scares you being alone,
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup, about
5 or 6 strippers tryin to work for a buck
and I took one girl outside wit me, her name
was Loni, she went to Junior High wit me,
I said, Why you up in there dancin for cash?,
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said...
What would you do?, if your son was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life
Girl you aint thee only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse to be livin all crazy
then she looked me right square in the eye
and said everyday I wake up hopin' to die,
she said- nigga I know about pain cuz,
me and my sista ran away, so my daddy
couldn't rape us, before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit, you can't even
relate to!
What would you do?, if your son was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life
What would you do? if...
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
What would you do? if...
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
What would you do? if...
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
What would you do? if...
Get up on my feet...
What would you do?, if your son was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life
What would you do? if yo son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life (Come on)
What would you do, if yo son was at home,
Obsession it takes control,
Obsession it eats me whole.
I can't say the words out loud,
So in a rhyme I wrote you down.
Now you'll live through the ages,
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
Your body lies upon the sheet,
Of paper and words so sweet.
I can't say the words,
so I wrote you into my verse.
Now you'll live through the ages,
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you,
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
I have read her with these eyes,
I've read her with these eyes,
I have held her in these hands.
I have written you down,
Now you will live forever.
The virtues in the verse,
And you will live forever.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
These streets are yours, you can keep them
I don't want them
They pull me back, and I surrender
To the memories I run from
Oh, we have paved these streets
With moments of defeat
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
But I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
These streets are yours, you can keep them
In my mind it's like you haunt them
And passing through, I think I see you
In the shapes of other women
Oh we have filled these walls
With our mistakes and flaws
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
But I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
All that's left behind
Is a shadow on my mind
All that's left behind
Is a shadow on my mind
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
But I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
We are the last people standing
At the end of the night
We are the greatest pretenders
In the cold morning light
This is just another night
And we've had many of them
To the morning we're cast out
But I know I'll land here again
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
There's a light in the bedroom
But it's dark
Scattered around on the floor
All my thoughts
This is just another night
And we've had many of them
To the morning we're cast out
But I know I'll land here again
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
The birds are mocking me
They call to be heard
The birds are mocking me
They curse my return
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay
How am I gonna get myself back home?
Moving along in a pace unknown to man
Go go go go go go
Go go go go go
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And for every king that died
Oh they would crown another
But it's harder than you think
Telling dreams from one another
But you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brother
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
Moving along in a pace unknown to man
Go go go go go go
Go go go go go
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And for every king that died
Oh they would crown another
But it's harder than you think
Telling dreams from one another
And you thought the lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brother
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
They will come for you
Ohhhhh
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
And fell in the night
By the ones you think you love
And fell in the night
When you fall asleep,
with your head,
upon my shoulder.
When you're in my arms,
but you've gone somewhere deeper.
Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to leave a path that joins?
Are you going to age with grace?
Or only to wake and hide your face.
Well.oh, oblivion.
Is calling out your name.
You always take it further,
than I ever can.
When you play it harder,
and I try to follow you there,
It's not about control,
But I turn back when I see where you go.
Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to leave a path that joins?
Well.oh, oblivion.
Is calling out your name.
You always take it further,
than I ever can.
Oh and oh oblivion,
is calling out your name
You always take it further,
Oh I feel overjoyed
When you listen to my words
I see them sinking in
Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin
Words are all we have
We'll be talking
We'll be talking
These words are all we have
We'll be talking
And I hear you calling in the dead of night
And I hear you calling in the dead of night
You lean towards despair
Any given opportunity you're there
But what is there to gain?
When you're always falling off the fence that way.
Words are all we have
We'll be talking
We'll be talking
These words are all we have
We'll be talking
And I hear you calling in the dead of night
Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night
Ooooooh
And I hear you calling in the dead of night
Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night
And I hear you calling in the dead of night
Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night
Ooooooh
Oh I feel overjoyed
There's an albatross around your neck,
All the things you've said,
and the things you've done,
Can you carry it with no regrets,
Can you stand the person you've become,
Ooh there's a light
Ooh there's a light
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living
Stepping forward out into the day
Shrugging off the dust and memory
Though it's soaring still above your head
It is out of sight and none shall see
Oooh there's a light
Ooh there's a light
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake
The heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to shake
The heavy weight of Living
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
Your Albatross, let it go, let it go,
Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't take
The heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to take
The heavy weight of Living
The Weight of Living
The Weight of Living
The Weight of Living
Look who's digging their own grave
That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death
Look who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left?
Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup
You won't remember this
Living beyond your years
Acting out all their fears
You feel it in your chest
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
Standing on the cliff face
Highest foe you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look out to the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
You put up your defenses when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be
You're putting up your armor when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feels to take a fall
Rhythm is a dancer,
It's a souls companion,
People feel it everywhere,
Lift your hands and voices,
Free your mind and join us,
You can feel it in the air,
Oh woah, it's a passion,
Oh oh, you can feel it yeah,
Oh oh, It's a passion,
Oh oh, oh, oh, oh,
This is Rhythm
You can put some joy up on my face,
Oh sunshine in an empty place,
Take me too, turn to and babe I'll make you stay,
(Oh yeah)
Oh I can ease you of your pain,
Feel you give me love again,
Round and round we go,
Each time I hear you say,
This is the rhythm of the night,
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life,
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,
This is the rhythm of the night,
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life,
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,
Wont you teach me how to love and learn,
There'll be nothing left for me to yearn,
Think of me and burn and let me hold your hand,
Oh yeah-ah-eh,
I don't want to face the world in tears,
Please think again,
I'm on my knees,
Sing that song to me,
No reason to repent,
This is the rhythm of the night,
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life,
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,
This is the rhythm of the night,
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life,
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,
This is the rhythm of the night,
The night,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of the night,
This is the rhythm of my life,
My life,
Oh yeah,
The rhythm of my life,
This is the rhythm of the night,
The night,
When all of your flaws and all of my flaws
Are laid out one by one
The wonderful part of the mess that we made
We pick ourselves undone
All of your flaws and all of my flaws
They lie there hand in hand
Ones we've inherited, ones that we learned
They pass from man to man
There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up; let's finish what we've started
Dig them up, so nothing's left untouched
All of your flaws and all of my flaws,
When they have been exhumed
We'll see that we need them to be who we are
Without them we'd be doomed
There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up; let's finish what we've started
Dig them up, so nothing's left untouched
Oooooh
Oooooh
When all of your flaws
And all of my flaws are counted
When all of your flaws
And all of my flaws are counted
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up. Let's finish what we've started
Dig them up. So nothing's left untouched
Oooooh
Oooooh
All of your flaws and all of my flaws
Are laid out one by one
Look at the wonderful mess that we made
Walking out into the dark
Cutting out a different path
Lead by your beating heart
All the people of the town
Cast their eyes right to the ground
In matters of the heart
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Summer evening breezes blew
Drawing voices deep from you
Lead by your beating heart
What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where it would fall, will you come down at all?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where your bullet would fall, will you come down at all?
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
This is your racing heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly
And he's also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass, so
No, I don't want your number
No, I don't want to give you mine and
No, I don't want to meet you nowhere
No, don't want none of your time
I don't want no scrubs
Scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Try to holla at me
I don't want no scrubs
Scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me, trying to holla at me, at me.
But a scrub's checkin' me and his game is kinda weak,
Kind i know that he gonna approach me,
Cause i'm lookin like class and he's looking like trash
Can't get with no deadbeat ass, so,
No, I don't want your number
No, I don't wanna give you mine, and
No, I don't wanna meet you nowhere
No, don't want none of your time
No, i don't want no scrubs
Scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrubs
Scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me, holla at me,
holla at me, holla at me.
If you don't have a car and you're walkin'
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you
If you live at home with your momma
If you have a shorty that you don't show love
Wanna get me with no money
Oh no, I don't want no
No scrubs, no scrubs
No scrubs, no scrubs
No, i don't want no scrub
Scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrub
Scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me, try to holla at me,
We were young and drinking in the park
there was nowhere else to go
and you said you always had my back
oh but how were we to know
That these are the days that bind you together,forever
and these little things define you forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been over for years, won't you let it lie?
If we're only ever looking back we would drive ourselves insane
As the friendship goes resentment grows
We will walk our different ways
But that these are the days that bind us together,forever
and these little things define us forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been over for years, won't you let it lie?
I don't want to hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wana hear you talk about it anymore
I don't want to hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wana hear you talk about it anymore
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
Things we lost to the flame
Things we'll never see again
All that we've amassed
Sits before us, shattered into ash
[These are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fireThese are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fire]
We sat and made a list
Of all the things that we have
Down the backs of table tops
Ticket stubs and your diaries
I read them all one day
When loneliness came and you were away
Oh they told me nothing new,
But I love to read the words you used
[These are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fireThese are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fire]
I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
[These are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fireThese are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fire]
Flames they licked the walls
