Calling out your name
Your face is everywhere
I'm reaching out to you
To find that you're not there
I wake up every night
To see the state I'm in
It's like an endless fight
I never seem to win
I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart, when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go
I can hear your voice
The ring of yesterday
It seems so close to me
But yet so far away
I should let it out
To save what's left of me
And close the doors of doubt
Revive my dignity
But, I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
I should let it out, it's time to let you go
Every single day
I think of the times
When you were still mine
And I¡¯m blue
Got to get away
Get you out of my mind
I¡¯m caught up in time
And I¡¯m blue
I don¡¯t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around
It would be alright
Living on my own
I know I¡¯m to blame
I¡¯m locked in my chains
And you¡¯re free
Fallen like a stone
I¡¯m down on the ground
I¡¯m tied up and bound
And you¡¯re free
I don¡¯t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
* Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright
repeat * (2x)

Love
My love
I regret the day you went away
I was too young
To understand my love
But now I realize my mistakes
Where
Where are you now
Now that I'm ready to
Ready to love you the way you loved me then
Where are you now
Do you still think of me
Or does your heart belong to someone else's
Love
Oh my love
Wonder sometimes were you just a dream
I sit in the dark
Wondering if our paths
Will ever cross again
Oh lord I need to know
I sit and wonder
If I close my eyes
And make a wish
When they open will you be right here with me
Where are you now
Now that I'm ready to
Ready to love you the way you loved me then
Could it be
That two people
Were meant to be
In my dreams
That's what I feel
Or could it be that I'll never see you again
My love that was so true
Still I'll sit here waiting all alone
By the phone for you
Now I understand
(now I understand)
When you said I love you
Oh, where are you now
When I need you the most
I took your life
As you lit up my smoke
If you think, that you've come
To the end of your rope
You won't feel so alone
When the country's gone broke
You don't know how I feel
You must think I'm so cold
If this doesn't seem real
That's 'cause I'm in control
a) Screw'em
Take good look, what do ya see?
Do you really think you're so different from me?
I'm sure in time I could teach you well
The rules of the game are simple as hell
When in doubt, "Screw 'Em"
Rule #1 Is to gain their confidence
Rule #2 Make them sign the check
Rule #3 Look out for #1
Rule #4 Take the money and run, don't look back
"Screw 'Em"
Where would you be, if you'd never met me?
Where would you go, if I set you free?
What do you say we make a new deal?
It's one for you thirteen for me
I know that you feel that this is unfair
Well maybe you should try and find someone who cares
"Screw 'Em"
You can say what you want, but I know we'll never be like you
People around me. People are talking.
And I'm by myself laughing loud.
Watching the strangers. When they are walking.
Looking for you in the crowd.
Cause you are my one and only and you're always on my mind.
I cannot explain but when I hear your name.
Emotions are driving me wild.
Where are you now? I want your love more than everything.
Where are you now? I need you here by my side.
Where are you now? Where are you now since you've gone away.
Where are you now? I need you more everyday.
Sunshine and raindrops. They're going together.
First it is pleasure then pain.
But now that I want you. I want you forever.
That's why I'm going insane.
Cause you are my one and only and you're always on my mind.
I cannot explain but when I hear name.
Emotions are driving me wild.
Where are you now? I want your love more than everything.
Where are you now? I need you here by my side.
Where are you now? Where are you now since you've gone away.
You used to soothe me
You used to swear with
Heart crossed conviction
That you'd be there
Where are you now
Well I'm good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I'll just cut right through
I don't need nothing baby
Nothing but you
Well, I lit a candle
It's burning still
Most every night on
My window sill
Where are you now
Well I'm good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I'll just cut right through
I don't need nothing baby
Nothing but you
Weren't we something back then
Thick as thieves
Who would have ever thought that
You and me
Would let forever come to
Used to be
Well I'm good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I'll just cut right through
I don't need nothing baby
You were so complete
you made a perfect mess of my head
I should have known better
but I was bored and looking for kicks
You were the open window
a two lane highway headed West
you were my adventure
the silver charm around my neck
So where are you now
I thought I was going crazy
but now it just makes me laugh
I'm talking to the TV
and the TV is talking back
You were the dare at midnight
the gold narcotic on my breath
you were the beggar's tin cup
you were the stain on my bed
So where are you now
yea where are you now
I'm gonna buy an old car
and drive high into the sun
maybe if I lose it all
we'll have us a little fun
you were the desert motel
you were the rose in my teeth
you were the first to forgive me
you made the last drink taste so sweet
So where are you now
where are you now
you gotta tell me
where are you now
come on come on
where where where
are you now, where
You just came into my world
A little boy without a girl
You just smiled at me
I knew it was on
We spent weeks that were a blur
We made love so sweet and pure
Then I knew you were gone
Where is the man I've come to know?
With the heart I thought was gold
You just turned me out and walked out the door
How could you just be so cold?
What a hard and heavy blow
Now I'm lying here, alone on the floor
Ooh...
Are you in a better place?
Or behind another's face?
Where are you now?
I've searched inside my soul
For the reasons never told
And what bothers me, is they know
You should have told me from the start
Instead of playing with my heart
You just left me here with nothing to hold
So...
I'm taking it easy, cleared my head
Cried me a river, said some prayers
But I often wonder, when I'm in my bed
Where are you now?
Are you in a better place?
Or behind another's face?
Where are you now?
Ohhh...
ohhh woah...
Ohhh...
Where are you now
When I need you the most
Why don't you take my hand
I want to be close
Help me when i am down
Lift me up off the ground
Teach me right from wrong
Help me to stay strong
Take my hand and walk with me
Show me what to be
I need you to set me free
Yeah
Where are you now
Where are you now
Now that im half grown
Why are we far apart
I feel so alone
Where are you now
When nothing is going right
Where are you now
I can't see the light
So take my hand and walk with me
Show me what to be
I need you to set me free, yeah, yeah
I need you, to need me
Cant you see me
How could you leave me
My heart is
Half empty
Im not whole
When your not with me
I want you
You with me
To guide me, hold me, love me now
Where are you now
Woahhh...
Where are you now
So take my hand and walk with me
Show me what to be
I need you to set me free, yeah, yeah
Ohhh...
Where are you now
Oh...
Yeah, yeah...
Ohh, ohh...
Wasn't life great
Didn't success smell sweeter as hand in hand
We let the world know we was there
What a pity
I wonder where are you now
Where is that smile
That promise of forever
Where is that style
Simple yet oh so clever where
Darling where , I wonder where are you now
We were two of a kind
Running scared flying blind
Riding too high not to fall
Did I lean on you too much
Did we lose our magic tongue after all
Where are you now?
I ask a friend about you
Where are you now?
I'm incomplete without you here
Oh my dear, It's been one hand loving you
You were gone in a flight
Left the car, took the cash
Just as the bottom fell out
Now it's me and my career
Waiting for the small to clear
Where are you now?
Where is the man I call love
Where are you now?
Now that the champagne's all gone flat
instrumental
We spent that time in the park
We laughed until it was dark and ending the day
I used to walk with you home
We used to talk on the phone with nothing to say
And where are you now, long time no see
I wonder where you are now, remember me
Once I wrote you a song
But now it seems like a long, long time since then
I bet that you're married now
I always thought that somehow I'd see you again
Sessions of baring our souls
Confessions soon took their toll and closed off the door
I wish we hadn't lost touch
Yeah...there's a lot of them up in here you know but
It's one of them nights you know...it's my night...yeah
Stack of them but it's only one of me (Get me up in the air)
Stack of them but it's only one of me (All night)
Stack of them but it's only one of me (Oh)
Only one of me, only one of me
Verse 1:
Have you seen me?
I've been stacked next to people tryna be me
Before the end of the night you gon' meet me
Tucked neat between your string, baby free me,yeah
Do you need me?
I'm willing to be used baby keep me
I know you see a lot of these weekly
But I feel so damn special in your bikini
Chorus
Girl I can fit the bill
They call me dollar bill
But you can call me your one
Your, your, your one
I aint on the floor with the rest of them fools
Right up on your skin laying next to you
Call me your one, your, your, your one
Verse 2:
I hope you notice
Imma stand out in the sky when they throw this
Am not the one just fly, but i'm the coldest
Let me give it to you straight baby don't fold this
In other places girl I just don't mean a thing
Coming from a 20 I aint nothing but some change
Big faces clown on me, but they dont understand
Up in here, i'm the man
Chorus:
Girl I can fit the bill
They call me dollar bill
But you can call me your one
Your, your, your one
I aint on the floor with the rest of them fools
Right up on your skin laying next to you
Call me your one, your, your, your one
Bridge:
I don't mean a thing up in Gucci but in here im a star
Switch them big bills out for me over here at the bar
I can't do much for bottle service
Get me to that stage and show you how to work this
Baby drop that thing out, coming with the rain now
Imma make you feel like it's all worth it
Chorus:
Girl I can fit the bill
They call me dollar bill
But you can call me your one
Your, your, your one
I aint on the floor with the rest of them fools
Right up on your skin laying next to you
Call me your one, your, your, your one
Outro:
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Only one of me, only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Stack of them but it's only one of me
Maybe I took for granted you’d be around
To pick me up on my way down
I thought my feet were planted firmly on the ground
Til one day my whole world came unwound
Like a ball of yarn kept neatly on a spool
It held the life together of this broken-hearted fool
And what once was the exception, now seems to be the rule
And there’s a burning question, a fire in my mind
You always had the answer, the ones I couldn’t find
So all I’m asking is where are you now
What Father Time would set on me, I’d take it all
If only you’d be back around
But then of times and spell me, I might take the call
But there’s no way of knowing where I’m bound
So here it comes, another fine mess I’ve gotten to
And if I knew which way to turn I’d still turn to you
So if everything is said and done, what am I supposed to do
That’s the burning question, on fire in my mind
You always had the answers for me, time after time
So all I’m asking is where are you now
We're Here Now
Lyrics be Jane, Music by Charlotte
Don't accuse us of not caring
We just don't care about you
Don't assume that we never think
You think you know but you haven't a clue
Cuz
We're here now
We don't need you around
We're here now
Don't make the mistake of criticising
Don't even bother patronizing
We're something that you wiLl never understand
We're so obvious you can't comprehend
That
We're here now
We don't need you around
We're here now
We cant be bothered with the past
Your the experts when it comes to that
It's useless living for the future
If you don't know how long it will last
So
We're here now
We don't need you around
We're here now
We're here now
has the power and he's going nowhere,
what is left to ruin?
to the start of something, i'm not buying,
i expect the ruins. you can take my isolation,
also take the pain it brings.
can you move the walls the hold me?
tear them down from everything.
the reason for the grimaced face is what you've had to see.
the other day a story's told to me,
i don't think i listened.
without you things they wouldn't be this way,
can't you make me listen?
think for now i'll fly the seat i fly,
let my imagination grow.
people say i waste my life,
cross my bridges as the burn.
never look back with intentions,
looking back, with no concern.
['A' - Anita]
['R' - Ray]
[A:] I watch the door but no one comes through
I watch the sun painting pictures of you
Nothing I do can kill the chill inside
Siliver days, wishes come true
Simple thoughts, enough love for two
Sharing a dream, sharing the warmth we had
Where's the flame that kept us in motion
Did it burn out as well
Where's the flame, did you take it with you
[A:] Where are you now
Do you think of us
Do you think that it was worth it
Where are you now
Are you alone
Do you know that I've be waiting
I've been waiting when the sun goes down
[A:] All the roads, you taking alot
Stretch of sea a thousands times
But none of them roads bring you to my door
Where's the flame that kept us in motion
Did it burn out as well
Where's the flame, could you take it with you
[A:] Where are you now
Do you think of us
Do you think that it was worth it
Where are you now
Are you alone
Should I hope that you are waiting
Where are you now
Do you think of us
Do you think that it was worth it
Where are you now
Are you alone
Can you see that I've been waiting
I've been waiting while the sun goes down
[R:] If you listen
You will hear
Close your eyes
Let light is near
[A:] Yeah....
[A:] Where's the flame that kept you in motion
Did it burn out as well
Where's the flame could you take it with you
[A:] Where are you now
Do you think of us
Do you think that it was worth it
Where are you now
Will I ever know
It's somewhere I can find you
Somewhere the sun always shines
Don't have much education
Not much anyhow
Just believed what they told me
And oohee, leak at me now
There must be more to life than this bum deal
Same direction somehow
Same kind of a reason
Yeah, I wanna know
Tell me where are you now?
Tell me where are you now?
Don't have much of religion
Not much anyhow
Don't have much to look up to
We killed all your sacred cows
Just trying to file a flight plan
Need some direction, need it now
Same kind of a reason
Yeah, I wanna know
Tell me where are you now (that we need you)?
Tell me where are you now?
You don't have to be, you don't have to seem
You don't have to scream, for any big deal (for
yourself)
You don't have to bleed, you don't have to believe
You don't have to pretend to know what's right, or
what's real
Tell me where are you now (we need you)?
Where are you now?
Tell me where are you now?
Where were you when my first love came callin'
My heart kept on fallin' like a stone?
Where were you when, I left home for college
Traded that first love for knowledge?
I've lived in the dark, I've refused to forgive
But somehow I knew there was more I could give
Long before you came to me I laid beneath the evergreens
Dreamed this day would come if only I had known
Far beyond the eye could see my soul knew what was best for me
I only had to wait and for that I have faith in love
Who held your hand on your first day to school?
Who read to you that night?
Who broke your heart for the first time?
Did you cry out loud just to know why?
Have you lived in the dark or refused to forgive?
But somehow just knew there was more you could give
Long before you came to me, I laid beneath the evergreens
Dreamed this day would come if only I had known
Far beyond the eye could see my soul knew what was best for me
I only had to wait and for that I have faith in love
Long before you came to me, I laid beneath the evergreens
Dreamed this day would come if only I had known
Far beyond the eye could see my soul knew what was best for me
I only had to wait and for that I have faith
Long before you said to me, ?You saved my heart and rescued me?
I walked this lonely mile and now I hold a smile
Far beyond the mission bells, long before our fare-thee-well
Maybe I'd do better on my own
No one ever seems to understand me
It's easier for me to be alone
There's still a piece of me that feels so empty
I've been all over the world
I've seen a million different places
Back through the crowds and all the faces
I'm still out there looking for you… ho oh
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never knowing at all
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Do I have to wait forever?
I write about the things I'll never know
I can find a moment just to a slow down
It makes me think I'll never have the chance
To figure out… what it's all about
So tell me… what it's all about… 'cause
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never knowing at all
What is the chance of finding you out there?
Do I have to wait forever?
Yeah, la da da da da n da da da… oo oo oo
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all
And I still don't know
Where are you now?
I'm trying to get by with never ever knowing at all
What is the chance?
Of finding you out there
Do I have to wait, do I have to wait, do I have to wait forever?
Where are you love, with all my dreams?
Where are the things that we once believed?
I thought we would stay together
Where are you now that I'm so lost inside?
Where are you now that you left my love behind?
Where are the lips, drippin' with love?
Your kiss was sent straight from heaven above!
I thought you would leave me never
Where are the arms that used to hold me tight?
Where are you now that you left my love behind?
Where are you girl, with all my love?
Where are my dreams?
Broken in two
I never knew that would come from you
I thought you'd be mine forever love
Where are you now that all I can do is cry
Where are you now that you left my love behind?
Where are you now that you left my love behind
Where are you girl, with all my love?
And on the day my father died
No one came to his grave to say goodbye
With all the words he could have said,
Never once did he make this right
He left us here, to drown in a wake of his destruction
He is gone and we are to pick up the pieces
Well it never really was up to us
We never even stood a chance.
Now this is where we hardened our hearts
Now wake up, lets start it all anew
I know you're tired, your reasons for living are getting harder and harder to find
Just give us our chance to make this everything we've ever dreamed of
Oh god
Oh god
Oh god
This is an uphill battle and I'm losing the stride
Is there anyone who sees this?
This is an uphill battle and I'm losing the stride
Is there anyone who sees this?
I know you're tired, your reasons for living are getting harder and harder to find
Just give us a chance to make this everything we've ever dreamed of
This is an uphill battle and I'm losing the stride
Is there anyone who sees this?
This is an uphill battle and I'm losing the stride
Is there anyone who sees this?
Lyrics to Where Are You Now :
(Featuring Dia Frampton of Meg & Dia)
I've been staying awake in the front seat for days
Let the wheel turn and take me away
Oh, the truth I must tell
Is I'm lonely as hell
Still looking for myself
It rains all day when you're not around
And I'm trying my best to come clean with the clouds
They follow me around
I'll dance 'till the rain comes down
Stuck in the sand with the waves at my feet
And I wish you'd come crash into me
'Cause where you are is where I wanna be now
Where are you now?
And I know I'm not perfect but what the hell
Do you think of me now?
Do you think of me now?
They say that love is for the patient
Gotta plan for being restless for now
Hope I'm more than a cheap trick you played on yourself
But I do it so well
Yeah, I'm doing so well
They follow me around
I'll dance 'till the rain comes down
Stuck in the sand with the waves at my feet
And I wish you'd come crash into me
'Cause where you are is where I wanna be now
Where are you now?
But when I leave
She walks and she talks and she stirs my feet
Like she's sleeping next to me
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter if we're states apart
Now your face is gone
And I am lost, alone without you now
Tears fall as you leave
'Cause once we've been as close as we could be
You have been there
Every time that I have needed you
Still I see your eyes
In front of me so full of sorrow now
Do you even know
How much I miss you since you've been gone
Where are you now
Where are you now
I don't know why it has come this way
Didn't want to stay
So where are you now
No one else will come close
Please don't look back with pain
Oh, I tried so hard
To make it right
Where are you now
Where are you now
I don't know why it has come this way
Didn't want to stay
So where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
I don't know why it has come this way
Didn't want to stay
It came to the end it seems you had heard.
Cause we walked the city streets,
You never said a word.
When we finally sat down
Your eyes were full of spite.
I was desperate, I was sweet
I could not put up a fight.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
You were strangely less than pain
Than you were cold.
Triumphant in your mind
Of the logic that you hold.
You said no one would ever know
The love that we had shared.
As I took my leave to go
It was clear that you didn't care.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
And I hear of your coming and your going in the town.
I hear stories of your smile,
I hear stories of your frown.
And the darkness can descend,
We can relish all the pain.
But I know that's what you love,
Cause you know I love the same.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
It used to be just you and me
We could hold on forever
It used to be we were so carefree
We would always be together
But lately baby when I look in your eyes
Can't seem to find you at all
Something's happened to turn you around
So can you tell me baby
Tell me where are you now
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
What used to be so fragile and free
Couldn't get any better
What used to be easy for you and me
Now it's swept away forever
There's something missing in both our lives
It's the tender moments we shared
I can't live without it
I can't survive
So can you tell me baby
Tell me where are you now
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
Just tell me baby can we work it out
(work it out)
No need to fuss or fight
And we don't need to shout
Remember you said you would always be there
Well I need you now
Gotta know that you care
Just tell me baby can we work it out
(work it out)
No need to fuss or fight
And we don't need to shout
Remember you said you would always be there
Well I need you now
Gotta know that you care
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
The year is one
Dominance
Immune to the obstruction
The dawn of awkward legacies
Proliferate
Concocted in degrees of mental state
Nature unifies - pure and innocent
Syndicate the fall of the continents
Vehicles of insult
Discharged, Catapult
Discipline
Motives of intoxication emerge
In next of kin
Durable but still fatigued
Fungus on the mind
Impulse Temple of apathies
Numbsight represent
The absolute magnificent
We fascinate the infantile
A sinister, in profile
The germ influence Family in bond
The pride is strong
The loose mouth antiseptic prolongs
Lead in stride
Culture of fury
Festivals of thought
Parsuading, Mass is strong
As strong as the man in me
Thug in keep of what he sees
Greed flavored
The rapic hands don't sleep
Oral message not convincing
Not taking to your liking
Slit their throats and leave them begging
Drenched with passion
Heart is burning
I'll crack the skulls continuous
Infect the ears now left sensuous
The tactics of a mind ajar
Leaving wounds
Leaving mental scars
Year one
The gathering of the underground
Millions of unheard voices
Ready to claim their answer now
You set you trap - But we counterattack
Escape like a phat rat
Music of war surrounds
Where are you now, cuz I need to have you right here next to me,
You’re not around, oh where are you now.
Just like a diamond from the sky, you are a star shining bright for me
But now it's fading, fading. Carry my soul upon the waves, soaring so high.
Oh you gave me wings. Now I'm left pondering, pondering,
Where are you now, cuz I need to have you right here next to me,
You’re not around, feels like you took the air I breathe, I hear the sound
Of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours, you can't be found
Oh where are you now
Told me you'd never leave my side, time passes by, tears are real to me, (so real)
Was I just dreaming, dreaming, you wonder why I drag it out. Drunk on your love
Now I'm blessed by you, but my cup is empty, empty, empty.
Where are you now, cuz I need to have you right here next to me,
You’re not around, feels like you took the air I breathe, I hear the sound
Of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours, you can't be found
Oh where are you now
I thought we were in the ... so meant to be together, and what we had was everlasting
Ending never, how could everything be gone, you’re not with me tonight.
You should be here holding me tight, holding me tight, holding me, holding me, holding me tight.
Where are you now, cuz I need to have you right here next to me,
You’re not around, feels like you took the air I breathe, I hear the sound
Of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours, you can't be found
Oh where are you now
Where are you now, cuz I need to have you right here next to me,
You’re not around, feels like you took the air I breathe, I hear the sound
Of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours, you can't be found
Where are you now
Lie awake and wonder where you are tonight
How will I know
Search for a trace, I look around but you're out of sight
Where did you go
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
Where are you now
Contemplate the promise you made you'd be my friend
Until the end
My heart aches, I'm in a daze, live in no-man's land
Where do I stand
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
I'm sick of always being the underdog when I try so hard and
I wake up wondering what the answers are
Well, I – I guess I'll put it this way:
Dear Journal, this marks year one of writing you
I'm growing tired of all the world has put me through
And I can't live like this
Everything's a blur and I'm counting the hours until it'll end
Well could it be
That we are not so different, them and me
We all have but one purpose and someday they'll see that they can't live without it
They might just die without it
I hope the latter comes before they come for me
You know this is just blowing steam
But maybe this time it's worse than it seems
In a city by the sea
We would lie there, them and me
We would dance all night 'til the sun goes down by the hands of the powers that be
And you know this much is true
That we're living in a dream
But the day will come when we all look back on the disaster that we've seen
Dear Journal, this is the last I'm writing you
The pressure's high, I'm going insane, how 'bout you
And I can't live like this
All the world's a stage
And here's one actor who will not conform to scripted days
You know this is just blowing steam
But maybe this time it's worse than it seems
In a city by the sea
We would lie there, them and me
We would dance all night 'til the sun goes down by the hands of the powers that be
And you know this much is true
That we're living in a dream
But the day will come when we all look back on the disaster that we've seen
Bordered by the ideals we encounter everyday
Oh, I tell myself, there's got to be another way
Bordered by the ideals we encounter everyday
I just can't get the ending right.
I'm so desperate tonight.
It seems only right to let the shadows lead the way.
If I could only just decide.
To let go of my insides.
I know that I'll never have to feel this way again.
And I'm caught in between.
My waking life and dreams.
Death's just as lonely as before.
I still remember you when.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
They held us down.
But now we're breaking loose.
We swore that we'd let nothing stand in our way.
And when I'm gone.
I will come back to haunt you.
I'll still watch over you my love.
When you're on your way to me.
Don't forget the taste of me.
And don't forget the feel of me.
With my arms around you.
Those memories will never fade.
Like all the promises we made.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
From below. The sun will rise.
And give us time to clear our heads.
The end is breathing down my neck.
Though hope is all that we have left.
The pain in understanding. Why we can't take it all back.
It's time to finally let go. Of everything we've known.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?
I swear I'll find you before I drift away.
This is all too familiar now.
I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
Sorry that I ask you now
sorry but I want to know
why did you expect that it's yours, yours and onl yours
sorry that I ask you now
but someone has to do somehow
how can you believe that I'm yours, like everything you have
I am not your own
Think about everything ou do
and paint the sky forever blue
but one thing you should know; that me I am not your own
think about all that you possess
it's not as much as it seems to be
keep it all in mind and stay forever blind
Where Are You Now
There was a time you tried to damage me
And make me feel like I was such a freak
You had the strength to torture me
And turn the whole world against me
But times have changed, you never got your way
Where are you now
I glad you failed
And no one cares
I know you thought you'd be the one to have it all
I guess you're proven wrong
It's nice to hear that your life has gone nowhere
While I'm standing here
Becoming what you said I'd never be
[Chorus]
It doesn't hurt so bad to look back now that you
To my favorite teacher, told me never give up
To my fifth grade crush, who I thought I really loved
To the guys I miss, and the girls we kissed
Where are you now?
To my ex-best friends, don't know how we grew apart
To my favorite bands, and sing-alongs in my car
To the face I see in my memories
Where are you now?
Where are you now? 'Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how, how to live like I do
If it wasn't for you, I would never be who I am
To my first girlfriend I thought for sure was the one
To my last girlfriend, sorry that I screwed it up
To the ones I loved, but didn't show it enough
Where are you now?
Where are you now? 'Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how, how to live like I do
If it wasn't for you, I would never be who I am
I know we'll never see those days again
And things will never be that way again
But that's just how it goes, people change, but I know
I won't forget you
To the ones who cared and who were there from the start
To the love that left and took a piece of my heart
To the few who'd swear I'd never go anywhere
Where are you now?
Where are you now? 'Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how, how to live like I do
If it wasn't for you, I would never be who I am
If it wasn't for you, I would never be who I am
If it wasn't for you, I'd be nothing
Are you in the next town, waiting for me
Or in the next room, just speaking softly
Are you in the driveway, your motor running
Or in the hallway, calling I’m coming
‘ Cause you’re nowhere to be found
Where are you now?
Are you in the garden, reading the paper
Or on the phone, saying ‘see you later’
Are you in my bed, sleeping beside me
Or did you go out walking, just forget to tell me
‘ Cause you’re nowhere to be found
Where are you now?
Are you in a movie, waiting for the ending
Are you really leaving or is that just pretending
Are you in some bar, drinking for two
I’m sorry baby if it was all too much for you
You’re nowhere to be found
And I’ve looked all around
Where are you now?
When it's dark, a melody
In my mind that's slowly whispering your name
I turn a blind eye
To a spark, a memory
When you lit the sky and left me like a flame
Before we said goodbye
And the rain keeps falling
Can you hear me calling
With every minute now the memories of you are fading
It leaves me with a question
Where are you now
I've gone miles all around
Saw a hundred different places that I
Didn't think I'd ever go
It wasn't long before I found
That you covered up your traces in reply
Now I'm sure I'll never know
And the rain keeps falling
Can you hear me calling
With every minute now the memories of you are fading
It leaves me with a question
Where are you now
Tell me are you far from me
Give me just one clue on where I should be
The one and only chance to show me where to begin
When it's dark, a melody
In my mind I'm slowly whispering your name
I turn a blind eye
And the rain keeps falling
Can you hear me calling
With every second now the memory of you is fading
It leaves me with a question
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you
It leaves me with a question
Two year, eight months and four days since I've known love
For what it's worth
I'm finding it hard to believe that I'll find love
Upon this earth
Destiny calls on a life
As colors dim and fade
So simple and small
You're the flower that's yet to break the ground
Will I find you?
You're the song I've never written down
But I want to
Where are you now?
Restoring the pieces I gave to the hollow
Yielding no return
I'm beckoning back to the hope
That I followed a matter to be learned
Intimate woe is the friend
The empty evening brings
I let you go to dream again
With a soldier's stance
I wait for patient time
To come and bring you home
all these scenes from my life
playin' back through my mind
i try not to forget the price
i've learned from every moment
and i've moved on
Chorus:
every time i wish the things could be better
i look back and see so many who've come and gone
all i want to do is write you a letter
where are you now?
where are you now?
workin' never indulging
sweet, kind, never complains
waiting for your phonecall to come
thin skinned and easily wounded
just and kind
Chorus: (1x)
dancing with you
driving home late at night
watching the rain fall and stars in the light
every time i need a hand to hold on to
everytime i need...(?)
Chorus: (1x)
i've closed every chapter
and i have said my goodbyes
you will always be with me
you're a part of my life
Few and far between, our history
And I`m not sure what it means, feels so incomplete
Was it in my head, what my mouth just said?
Where are we now?
Could I find a peace with you somehow?
'Cause I`m torn between my pride
And the emptiness inside
I don`t expect a thing, or a family reunion
Not a trophy on my wall, so I can take my communion
Just one more chance to have this dance
Every single day I think of the times when you were still mine
And I knew, gotta get away, get you out of my mind
I’m caught up in time and I’m blue
I don’t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright
Livin?on my own
I know I’m to blame
I’m locked in my chains
And you’re free
Fallen like a stone
I’m down on the ground
I’m tied up and bound
And you’re free
I don’t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright
I don’t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright
(WRITTEN BY: D. McCAFFERTY, P. AGNEW,
Just like a diamond from the sky
You were a star shinning bright for me
But now it's fading, fading
Carried my soul upon the wind
Soaring so high, oh you gave me wings
Now I'm left wandering
Where are you now
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
You're not around, feels like you took the air I breathe
I hear the sound, of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours
You can't be found, oh where are you now.
Told me you'd never leave my side
But time passes by
Seemed so real to me
Was I just dreaming, dreaming
You poured your wine, I drank it up
Got drunk on your love
Now I thirst for you
But my cup is empty, empty
Where are you now
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
You’re not around, feels like you took the air I breathe
I hear the sound, of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours
You can't be found, oh where are you now.
I thought we were in love
So meant to be together
That what we had was
Ever lasting, ending never
How could everything be gone
You're not with me tonight
When you should be here
Holding me tight
Holding me tight
Holding me, holding me, holding me tight
Where are you now
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
You're not around, feels like you took the air I breathe
I hear the sound, of my lonely heartbeat calling out to yours
[Verse 1]
Have you seen my girl?
I made up my mind
There was this beautiful girl
I open my eyes
And see her passing by
[Chorus]
Please tell me where are you now
I have to find you
Please just show me how
We could climb the highest sight
Together till' we die (together till' we die)
[Verse 2]
I'm on my way back home
The sky is clear
Filled with stars
A shadow of you
Disappears in the light
You cross my way
And now you're out of reach
[Chorus (softly)]
Please tell me where are you now
I have to find you
Please just show me how
We could climb the highest sight
Together till' we die (together till' we die)
[Chorus]
Please tell me where are you now
I have to find you
Please just show me how
We could climb the highest sight
Well I couldn't obey
fell back away
heart was on fire
windows may break
but on this very day
I hope you're inspired
as long as I've
got you
oh I couldn't stay
went on your way
across the ocean
as it is blue
my heart longs for you
and for the golden days
as long as I've
got you
and for a while
I held it up
for you
go to the sky love
and happy morning
where are you now
well I found the light and I
went and put it down
but I'll, I'll be all right
and stay up too late
counting the stars
wondering where you are
you'll be ok
to show 'em your heart (?)
I wish I could stay
I wish I could stay
I wish I could stay
Angels of the morning
Children of the dawn
Heaven bless and keep you
Help you carry on
All the heart has hoped for
All that eyes can see
Meant for your salvation
And felicity
I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one
Angels of the evening
Children of the cross
Who can help us gather
All the things that we have lost
Lifetimes shifting phases
Dreams that we discern
Words of wealth and power
Oh, but that's not my concern
I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one
The stone clouds will be fading
Half the rainbow's in
There'll be a new beginning
For all of us, my friend
I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one
I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one
I have come to find you
And I must remind you
We R one
Just like a diamond from the sky
You were a Star shinning bright for me
But now it’s fading, fading.....
Carry my soul upon the wind
Soaring so high, oh you gave me wings
Now I’m not wandering
Where are you now!
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
Your not around, feels like you took the air I breath
I hear the sound, of my lonely heart beat calling up to yours
You can’t be found, oh where are you now.
Told me you'd never leave my side
But time passes bye
It seems so real to me
Was I just dreaming, dreaming.
You put the wine
I drank it up
I'm drunk on your love
now I thirst for you
But my cup is empty.. empty..
Where are you now!
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
Your not around, feels like you took the air I breath
I hear the sound, of my lonely heart beat calling up to yours
You can’t be found, oh where are you now.
I thought we were in love...,
Or meant to be together
Think what we had was
Ever lasting, ending never
How could everything be gone!
You’re not with me tonight
When you should be here
Holding me tight(X3)
Where are you now!
Cause I need to have you right here next to me
Your not around, feels like you took the air I breath
I hear the sound, of my lonely heart beat calling up to yours
All alone tonight im calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love take me back in time
I don't know how it started
Or why it ever had to end
Something stepped inside
We didn't let it in
It's keeping us apart
Where are you now
Where are you now
Is someone there tonight
Holding what was mine
Where are you now
You wonder where I am
Are you really feeling fine
Going through my life without you by my side
You're the only thing that keeps going through my mind
And nothing that I do can take the place of you
Where are you now
Is someone there tonight holding what was mine
Where are you now, do you wonder where I am
Are you really feeling fine
Ooh thinking about you girl
There's gotta be a place for me
Somewhere in your heart
All alone tonight I'm calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love and where are you now
Where are you now
Is someone there tonight holding what was mine
Where are you now
All alone tonight, I'm calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love take me back in time
I don't know how it started or why it ever had to end
But something stepped inside we didn't let it in
It's keeping us apart, where are you now
*Where are you now?
Is someone there tonight
Holding what was mine?
Where are you now?
Do you wonder where I am,
Are you really feelin' fine?
Goin' through my life without you by my side
You're the only thing that keeps goin' through my mind
And nothin' that I do can take the place of you
Chorus
Oooh, thinkin' about you, girl,
There's gotta be a place for me
Somewhere in your heart
All alone tonight, I'm calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love, where are you now?
Chorus
Where are you now?
Is someone there tonight
Holding what was mine?
Where are you now?
Do you wonder where I am,
I need you here tonight
walking through the fields of waste
souvenirs of the old days - like always
here I stand again to fight against the tide of time
the sun shines actually kind
year one is beginning now
no past behind, a thin black line
two and four the time we're heading for
black and white doesn't exist no more
men without past
a small part, a short role of the cast
tick tock
a small wheel of a clockwork
floating the river quietly timewards
four seasons, twelve months, fifty-two weeks ans
a few hundred days remains
to put the second number to the one we call
hunger
evolution calendar
history will be written from here
watch the screen don't fear what you'll see
yesterday, thousands of years ago
the streams of the road show you the way to go
men without past
a small part, a short role of the cast
tick tock
a small wheel of a clockwork
floating the river quietly timewards
the speed was given priority
while the rest stood still, at least it seems
steps backwards under me
maybe this is just what I feel
men without past
a small part, a short role of the cast
tick tock
a small wheel of a clockwork
floating the river quietly timewards
Today is the day for redemption. Not alone.
Hold your own. You'll find the strength.
The struggle just to stay alive, to maintain in these times. We are the future. We must change. Change. Step one in the solution. Our voice. Speak truth to overcome. The enemy is ignorance. Silence is powerless.
Fight. The struggle pushes forward. Awake. Aware. No escaping the real-life suffering, civil unrest. The struggle just to stay alive. To maintain, in these times. We are the future. We must change. We have the strength inside us all.
The smallest change can spark a revolution. Give us your poor, tired, huddled masses longing to be free, but hope collapses.
Violence in the streets. People with nothing to eat. The struggle continues on. When we reawaken our senses, focus our eyes away from all of the distractions, all the devices used to keep our minds suppressed.
