A parachute is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag, or in the case of ram-air parachutes, aerodynamic lift. Parachutes are usually made out of light, strong cloth, originally silk, now most commonly nylon. Parachutes must slow an object's terminal vertical speed by a minimum 75% in order to be classified as such. Depending on the situation, parachutes are used with a variety of loads, including people, food, equipment, space capsules, and bombs.
Drogue chutes are used to aid horizontal deceleration of a vehicle (a fixed-wing aircraft, or a drag racer), or to provide stability (tandem free-fall, or space shuttle after a touchdown).
The word "parachute" comes from the French prefix paracete, originally from the Greek, meaning to protect against, and chute, the French word for "fall", and it was originally coined, as a hybrid word which meant literally "that which protects against a fall", by the French aeronaut François Blanchard (1753–1809) in 1785.
Cheryl Ann Cole (née Tweedy; born 30 June 1983), often known professionally as Cheryl, is an English pop and R&B recording artist, songwriter, dancer and model. She rose to fame in late 2002 when she auditioned for the reality television show Popstars: The Rivals on ITV. The programme announced that Cole had won a place as a member of the girl group, Girls Aloud.

In 2009, Girls Aloud won "Best Single" with their song "The Promise". In 2009, Girls Aloud announced their musical hiatus and Cole went on to release two solo albums, which both went to number one in the UK: 3 Words (2009) and Messy Little Raindrops (2010). She achieved a number of hits, including two number one singles: "Fight for This Love" and "Promise This". Cole is set to release her third solo album A Million Lights on the 18 June 2012, with lead single "Call My Name" being released on the 10 June 2012.

maybe we were in need
to be on a silver screen
maybe were not as perfect
as everyone thinks we should be
baby its all my fault
think everytime i fall
you would be there to catch me
when really no one would show
its not like it was before
can we jump can we just
close our eyes imagining
were hand in hand tumbling yeah
as long as its me and you
take a chance when we land
no one cares as long as we keep falling
without parachutes
what is this mess i made
im sorry i made you think
that you had to be so perfect for me
go and change everything
i almost let you go trying to keep control
how could i be so stupid (??)
and now i know what im looking for
im not who i was before
can we jump can we just
close our eyes imagining
were hand in hand tumbling yeah
as long as its me and you
take a chance when we land
no one cares as long as we keep falling
without parachutes
im ready to take (?) gotta leave it all behind

(??)
(??)
can we jump can we just
close our eyes imagining
were hand in hand tumbling yeah
as long as its me and you
take a chance when we land
no one cares as long as we keep falling
as long as were falling
without parachutes
maybe we were in need
to be on a silver screen
maybe were not as perfect
I wanna take you with me to life with no more yesterdays
We can start again awake and so excited
And change the way we always push
We always push
I'll open up and be your parachute
And I'll never let you down
So open up and be my human angel
And we'll only hit the ground running
And when the world gets sharp and tries to cut you down to size
And makes you feel like giving in
Oh, I will stay, I will rain, I will wash the words and pain away
And I will chase away the way we push, the way we pull
You're beautiful
I'll open up and be your parachute
And I'll never let you down
So open up and be my human angel
And we'll only hit the ground running, running
And if it feels like we might drop
It will stop, so don't look down
It wouldn't be the same without you
This life is too good to give up on
I'll open up and be your parachute
And I'll never let you down
So open up and be my human angel
And we'll only hit the ground
There we stand about to fly
Peeking down over land
Parachute behind
What was that moment for which we live?
Without a parachute about to dive
I find myself convincing
Blindly falling faster
How easy
Know the place I’m leaving
And the rest just is gone
Oh the adoration
But how much strength does it take
For exploration
For split decision
Or are you stronger to remain
I find myself convincing
Blindly falling faster
How easy
Know the place I’m leaving
And the rest is just gone
It crept up on me
Ignored all my pleas
Begging to leave
No justice to name me
Fell out of the sky
Cease it to be
Without a reply
Gravity fails me
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized
White ice towers, slow dissolving
Now fall.
Below savage moon
Iron cities soon to rust.
Warned first by the gathering shadows
They fled.
From wide vapour deserts
They turned turned towards the sea.
Pale worn the walking, pass
Through concrete glades.
I don't tell anyone about the way you hold my hand
Don't tell anyone about the things that we have planned
Won't tell anybody
Won't tell anybody
They want to push me down
They want to see you fall (Down)
Won't tell anybody how you turn my world around
Won't tell anyone how your voice is my favourite sound
Won't tell anybody
Won't tell anybody
They want to see us fall
They want to see us fall
I don't need a parachute

Baby, if I've got you

You are your own worst enemy
You'll never win the fight

It's you and me up against the world
It's you and me....(Love)

[Verse 1:]
Your heart's beating fast
You open your eyes
And you look up to the sky
Standing at the ledge
Winding your hair
Turning back and forth fitting your mind
Should you keep your feet
On the ground in a safer place
Get away from the edge
Just let go
Laugh life in the face
[Chorus:]
When you jump
And you're falling
Stand towards the ground
I'm the one who'll always catch you laying
Ain't gonna let you down
I'll be your parachute
(I'll be your parachute)
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your parachute
[Verse 2:]
I can be the one to carry you
But you have to learn to fly
I believe and you believe in yourself
Sometimes a way is to fear is to try
Try to keep your feet off the ground
To find a better place
You can run to the edge
Just let go
Laugh life in the face
[Chorus:]
When you jump
And you're falling
(And you're falling)
Stand towards the ground
(I'm the one)
I'm the one who'll always catch you laying
Ain't gonna let you down
I'll be your parachute
(I'll be your parachute)
I'll be your parachute
[Bridge:]
Feel like you about to fall
Your feet have lost it all
Let go of all the drama
Let me calm your soul
This string will never snap
I'll always have your back
Hold you up through the rough times
Got you forever
Tell me your problems
I'll protect you like shoulder pads
You know I'm there for you
I'll be your parachute
[Chorus:]
When you jump
And you're falling
Stand towards the ground
I'm the one who'll always catch you laying
Ain't gonna let you down
I'll be your parachute
(I'll be your parachute)
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your parachute
Oh, your parachute
Oh, your parachute
Oh, your parachute
Oh, I can be your parachute
Oh, your parachute
Oh, your parachute
Oh, your parachute
You take me so high up,
I'm headed for a crash landing,
But somehow you always come and save me,

Yea, I know I will soar
When I pull on the chord
When I pull the string
Heaven will be waiting on me
Yeah, don't let me go now
Heaven will be waiting on me, yeah
Slow me down, I'm landing
Whether you'll save me, whether I'll fall
If you push me out or if I jump at all
I won't look back now, won't look back at all
Yea, I know I will soar
When I pull on the chord
When I pull the string
Heaven will be waiting on me
Yeah, don't let me go now
Heaven will be waiting on me, yeah
Slow me down, I'm landing
We can take it with us
And we can save it all
If we can find the courage
To just take the fall
It might feel a little dangerous
Here we go
Here we go
When I pull the string
Heaven will be waiting on me
Don't let me go now
Heaven will be waiting on me, yeah
Heaven will be waiting on me
Yeah, don't let me go now
Heaven will be waiting on me, yeah
I am sick of this stupid world telling me what to do
I wish I could have some time when I am all alone
I know you don't want to hear me sing this stupid song
but if you listen to my bullshit, you will learn something is wrong
I'm tired of walking down the line with the wrong pair of shoes
It's just like you jump without a parachute, you have nothing to lose
oh no
I am sick of standing in front of you, sweating off my balls
I wish we could be so good, like NoFX or ALL
I know you don't want to hear me playing my guitar
Inside of me
All my life I've waited for you to find me
Taken from me and now I'll never know
just how it feels to need you
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
Burning in me
All my life I've waited to break this silence
Expectations
and will I ever know
just how it feels to forget
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
And now in my head I know you understand
And now I am bending cause you will never understand
Right in front of me
All this time I never could see (Right in front of me)
Right in front of me
All this time I never could see (It's right in front of me)
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
Love is like an aero plane
You jump and then you pray
The lucky ones remain
In the clouds for days
If life is just a stage
Let's put on the best show
And let everyone know
Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground
Love is like a hurricane
You know it's on the way
You think you can be brave
Underneath the waves
If life is just a dream
Which of us is dreaming
And who will wake up screaming
Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground
Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground
Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather it was you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down

Jump jump jump jump
Take the reigns again
It was a pleasure to finally fall asleep without a stir
Out there with tons of burns
I get a lost sensation
Sent through my brain and hands
I know I better escape that part of me
Before I learn I can’t stand the counter turn
It’s still a nerve I can't figure out
I will wake up fine in a place I love by myself
Yeah, it took some time, but at least I’m clear out of hell
I feel it coming on
I parachute alone
I’m a life that’s not worth saving
It’s apparent I won’t slow down yet
I take control of that feeling you don’t care to believe in
I’m blind, but I’m still leading
I’m finding modern healing is sold in the dark for some of us
A strong sleep to sedatives
I fear I firmly hide from it all now to quell the burn
I won't take the sound I heard
I’m going to find my own way to drown
I will wake up fine in a place I love by myself
Yeah, it took some time, but at least I’m clear out of hell
I feel it coming on
I parachute alone
I’m a life that’s not worth saving
It’s apparent I won’t slow down yet
I take control of that feeling you don’t care to believe in
I’m blind, but I’m still leading
I’m finding modern healing is sold in the dark for some of us
Hold my hands out like I’m starting to break
I’m seeing now what I’m doing to the people around me
I’m not supposed to care this much
And I ask myself; yeah, who am I?
Well, to anything, have I lost my health?
I still harbor all my anger
I’ve been staring at the color in my veins
How they stay
How I still feel I’m tired, but awake
And somewhere out there there is someone thinking of what I haven’t gave them yet
And feeling that I can’t in my disarray
I parachute alone
I’m a life that’s not worth saving
It’s apparent I won’t slow down yet
I take control of that feeling you don’t care to believe in
I’m blind, but I’m still leading
Stop these lies and start again,
Break through bone and cut through skin,
See just where your heart has been,
By the trail left behind you.
Oh it takes no time to make things clear,
I might be blind but i can hear,
By the sound of things I'm losing sleep,
For all the right reasons.
And it goes down hard for me,
That you just don't, don't seem to see,
At the top you'll, you'll always be,
Looking down
To find yourself.
So call me when you get here,
And tell me when you hit that ground
Tell me when you get here,
Tell me when your plan breaks down.
When you stop your heart to make some space,
For shallow drinks and social games,
I kept it for reminders sake
Of before the bottle found you.
And it goes down hard for me,
That you just don't, don't seem to see,
At the top you'll, you'll always be,
Looking down
To find yourself.
Ohhh, whoa whoa ohhh
Ohhh, whoa whoa ohhh
Ohhh, whoa whoa ohhh
Whoa ohhh
And it goes down hard for me,
That you just don't seem to see,
At the top you'll, you'll always be,
Looking down
To find yourself.
So tell me when you get here,
Tell me when you hit that ground,
Tell me when you get here,
Stay with me
Baby stay with me
Tonight don’t leave
Me alone
Walk with me
Come and walk with me
To the edge of all
We’ve ever known
I can see you there with the city lights
14th floor; Pale blue eyes
I could breathe you in
2 shadows standing by the bedroom door
No I could not want you more than I did right then
As our heads leaned in
Well I’m not sure what this is gonna be
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you’re moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes, baby don’t run
Just kiss me slowly
Stay with me
Baby stay with me
Tonight don’t leave
Me alone
She shows me everything she used to know
Picture frames and country roads
When the days were long and the world was small
She stood by as it fell apart
Two separate rooms and broken hearts
But I won’t be the one to let you go
Oh-oh
I’m not sure what this is gonna be
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you’re moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes, baby don’t run
Just kiss me slowly
Don’t run away
And it’s hard to love again
When the only way it’s been; when the only love you know
Just walked away
If it’s something that you want
Darling you don’t have to run; you don’t have to go
Just stay with me
Baby stay with me.
I’m not sure what this is gonna be
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you’re moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes, baby don’t run
Just kiss me slowly
I’m not sure where this is gonna go
But in this moment all I know
Is the skyline through the window
The moon above you and the streets below
Hold my breath as you’re moving in
Taste your lips and feel your skin
When the time comes, baby don’t run
Verse 1:
Well I know just what it is you want the way you love and get enough and then you move on
You play the game of who you need and learn his name and walk away to find the next one
You say the things your looking for look past me and door to door
But darling did you think I wouldn't know
Chorus:
I might not be what you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way
I'm never gonna be the thing you want
But I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
I'm gonna be your halfway
(Halfway, I'll be your halfway, halfway, I'll be your halfway)
Verse 2:
You like to close your eyes and nod and picture him and what he'd say and what he looks like
But all I can think is all the dreams in the world that can match up to the real thing, the real thing
Chorus:
I might not be what you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way
I'm never gonna be the thing you want
But I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
I'm gonna be your halfway
Bridge:
I'm gonna be forever yours
Don't you dare believe her, no
I'm gonna be forever yours
She's always gonna let you go
I could stay up wait the whole night
But she's never gonna show
Chorus:
I might not be what you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way
I'm never gonna be the thing you want
But I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you want (I'm gonna be forever yours)
Baby I won't be what you want
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way ya
I'm never gonna be the thing you want (I'm gonna be forever yours)
But I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
Look behind you,
Avoid the shadows,
Watch your back now,
Make your breathing shallow.
Keep your room locked,
And leave the blinds closed,
I'm right there staring at your window.
And all I need is you.
And all I need is you.
I'm in the background,
On the radio,
I'm in your car,
In your house,
Waiting at your door.
Under your footsteps,
I'm everything you know.
Just let me haunt, let me haunt,
Let me be your ghost.
Let me be your ghost.
Let me haunt, let me haunt,
Let me be your ghost.
You had your chance love,
You tried to stay strong.
You tried to let go,
Tell yourself you moved on.
But then it comes back,
That feeling in your bones,
Like I'm right there.
And all I need is you.
And all I need is you.
I'm in the background,
On the radio,
I'm in your car,
In your house,
Waiting at your door.
Under your footsteps,
I'm everything you know.
Just let me haunt, let me haunt,
Let me be your ghost.
Let me be your ghost.
Just let me be your ghost.
I'm in the background,
On the radio,
I'm in your car,
In your house,
Waiting at your door.
Under your footsteps,
I'm everything you know.
Just let me haunt, let me haunt,
Verse 1:
She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the
driveway
No one's said they seen him
Why, is something wrong?
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says somethings happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said
Chorus:
I, I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always
Verse 2:
She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls a maze that's never
ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear
them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the
room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the
good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay
Chorus:
Stay, there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Bridge:
Then she gets and idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple versus
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says
Chorus:
I, I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always
She finishes the vows but his beeps are getting so slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
You can blame it on the small things
You can blame it on your heartbeat
The wrong day
You can blame it on your regrets
And all your little secrets
You keep them
You can show me all your old scars
That you got from all the old wars
You fought so you could tell me
"I'm not the one who needs the saving"
You can say what you want but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now
You think it feels right but you don't know
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure
You can say what you please if it's all that you need
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me
There's a million ways to hold on
To everything that goes wrong, the sad songs
Oh but all these different reasons
Are just a million different ways to say the same old thing
Now tell me, "I'm not the one who needs the saving"
You can say what you want but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now
You think it feels right but you don't know
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure
You can say what you please if it's all that you need
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me
You can blame it on me
You can blame it on me
You can blame it on the small things
Say what you want but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now
You think it feels right but you don't know
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure
You can say what you please if it's all that you need
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me
You can blame it on me [x2]
Well she wants to get in
And she wants to get out
But the city calls her name
And the scars that she hides
With those stars in her eyes
Like the echos that are all the same
Cause it's all been done before
Yes it's all been done before
And oh, you can let this one go
You can try on your own
But I want you to be here
And oh, now the signs are all quiet
And the streets are all tired
And I want you to be here
Well she's sick of this town
And the walls in this house
And her pride just won't let her see
That when she wears that she's made
With the heart that won't break
She could be dead but she'd still believe
That it's all been done before
Yes it's all been done before
And oh, you can let this one go
You can try on your own
But I want you to be here
And oh, now the signs are all quiet
And the streets are all tired
And I want you to be here
They can tell you that they want you
To stay for what you've done
They can tell you that it's alright
To be what you've become
And you go
Cause you know
It's for show
And oh, you can let this one go
You can try on your own
But I want you to be here
And oh, now the signs are all quiet
And the streets are all tired
And I want you to be here
And oh, now I tried to be quiet
But this heart is on fire
And I want you to be here
I want you to be here
I want you to be here
I want you to be here
I want you to be here
I did my time,
I paid my price,
For all these things I did.
I lost my feet,
You said your piece,
I thought that that was it.
So while you sleep so peacefully,
And all your sins are buried deep,
While you're dreaming I'm outside,
Digging up the ones I missed.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around again?
I don't ever know.
When's it coming back again?
You can try all you want but,
The past knows what your did.
And I can't seem to get away from it.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around, baby,
Coming back around again?
I've been chewed up,
I've been spit out,
But never thought to quit.
I've taken blows,
And felt them all,
But nothing close to this.
So when you sleep so peacefully,
And all your sins are buried deep,
While your dreaming I'm outside,
Digging up the ones I missed.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around again?
I don't ever know.
When's it coming back again?
You can try all you want but,
The past knows what your did.
And I can't seem to get away from it.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around, baby,
Coming back around again?
My backs against the wall,
I'm feeling for the door
But I can't find it,
As the knife slides into me.
And as I'm standing there,
Oh, she walks in,
And blurry fears are coming clear,
And I can finally see.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around again?
I don't ever know.
When's it coming back again?
You can try all you want but,
The past knows what your did.
And I can't seem to get away from it.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around, baby,
Coming back around again?
When's it coming back again,
When's it coming back around again.
When's it coming back.
WWhen's it coming back again.
Ooooh.
And I can't seem to get away from it.
When's it coming back again?
When's it coming back around, baby,
Coming back around,
Coming back around, baby,
Verse 1:
When the sun fell low in the blood red sky yeah
Every house called out as we passed them by yeah
She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in yeah
Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been
Chorus:
It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one
And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
Had a dream it was ours and we just didn't know yet
Verse 2:
We would drive by right through every lonely street yeah
Smell the truth in her hair felt the world in my feet yeah
But we were just two kids in a beat up car
Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done
Chorus:
It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one
And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
Had a dream it was ours that we just didn't know yet (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
Had a dream it was ours that was lost in the regrets
Bridge:
We were caught on the inside
Left it all on that bedside
Give me one more minute with those baby blues
We pull up
Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long
I can picture her room as the lights go on
I'm still dancing along with the way it was
I'm still dancing along with the way it was
Give me one more, give me one more
Give me one more minute with my baby
Give me one more, give me one more
Give me one more minute with American secrets
Give me one more, give me one more
Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside
Every hope in the world and those bright blue eyes
I'm still dancing along with the way it was
Got my mind made up
And I'm coming back for you
I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon
I can see you there in the bedroom by those stairs
Oh I've always been running but I don't know where
And ohhh oh oooh and ohhh oh oooh
It took 25 years but I finally see
Not the boy I was in the car that you saw me
I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be
But when those trumpets sound when the good Lord calls my name
Oh I'm gonna be with you
Oh I'm gonna be with you
And ohhh oh oooh
And ohhh oh oooh
It took 25 years but I finally see
And ohhh oh oooh
And ohhh oh oooh
It took 25 years but I finally see
It took 25 years but I finally see
The lights go down in Brooklyn
As she's walking out the door
Oh and they're lining up like soldiers
Going off to fight the war
And all the colors look like fireworks
In skies she knew before
And nights can't hide the days
That the tears roll down her face
Oh and the light hits those eyes, that she's dying to say
"Just take me away"
But the fog just sits like blankets
And it's drowning out the glow
You can hear voices loud and singing out
A song nobody knows
But to her it sounds like home
Oh cause nights can't hide the days
That the tears roll down her face
Oh and the light hits those eyes, that she's dying to say
"Just take me away, from all that I am
Just take me away, from all that I am"
Cause the fog just sits like blankets
And it smothers the glow, oh oh
Cause nights can't hide the days
Oh that the tears roll down her face
And the light hits those eyes, that she's dying to say
"Just take me away, from all that I am
Just take me away, from all that I am
Just take me away, from all that I am
I want your love, I want your heart
They try so hard, to keep us apart
They say I will treat you bad
But I'mma be the best thing you ever had
I'm gasoline and you're the spark
You set me off here in the dark
In your kiss, your fingertips
We get too close
We'll be burning out of control
Young hearts go crazy
Just do what you came to do
Let your lovin' never come down
It belongs to me and you (me and you, me and you)
Young hearts go crazy
With the sound of something new
Young hearts go crazy
Me and you
You give me a little high
All I need to get me by
Say the word, I cut the tie
If we can run
If we can run, I know we can fly
Young hearts go crazy
Just do what you came to do
Let your lovin' never come down
It belongs to me and you (me and you, me and you)
Young hearts go crazy
With the sound of something new
Young hearts go crazy
Me and you
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
You give me a little high (Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
All I need to get me by (Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
Say the word, I cut the tie (Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
If we can run
If we can run, I know we can fly (fly x2)
Young hearts go crazy
Just do what you came to do
Let your lovin' never come down
It belongs to me and you (me and you, me and you)
Young hearts go crazy
With the sound of something new
Young hearts go crazy
Me and you
Hold my gun and watch the door,
Pick the lock and cut the phone,
Keep your head up love,
Ain't nobody who can stop us.
Grab the bags when sirens call,
We're out the window through the yard,
Keep it locked up tight,
Ain't nobody here can stop us.
Baby I've had the same dream,
Where I wake up
Wondering what it really means
If the world came running down.
If it was
You and me against the world.
Baby they cut us under but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was
You and me against the world.
You keep the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
They'll come running through the door,
Shattered glass across the floor.
Oh they think they know but we both know they don't.
Oh we did our crime and got away,
We stole the gold and made the day,
And we're both smiling
Oh they're saying
Ain't nobody here can stop us.
Baby I've had the same dream,
Where I wake up
Wondering what it really means,
If the world came running down.
If it was
You and me against the world.
Baby they cut us under but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was
You and me against the world.
You keep the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
Oh I keep waking up in an empty bed,
And it's reminding me of all the things I should have said,
And all we could have had.
If it was you and me against the world.
Baby they cut us under, but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world.
You keep the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
If it was you and me.
Baby they got our number, but we'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me.
You get the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
You get the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run.
Well I'd go house to house and knock on every door
I'd take down all the walls and tear up every floor
Just to figure out, oh what we're fighting for
And all I can do is sit and let the air speak for you
Cause when words meet heartbeats, baby, come on
You know it's not even fair and a first-round knockdown
Baby, the floor, you know I'm already there
And the sun sets high and that moon is low
Cause when words meet heartbeats, baby, you'll know
Well there's silence now, there's nothing more to gain
And it isn't right if I can't run away
Because it kills the mood when there's nothing left to say
And all I can do is sit and let the air speak for you
Cause when words meet heartbeats, baby, come on
You know it's not even fair and a first-round knockdown
Baby, the floor, you know I'm already there
And the sun sets high and that moon is low
Cause when words meet heartbeats
And I'm not too tired,
I'm not too tired to know what you're doing
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to see
And I'm not too tired,
I'm not too tired to know what you're doing with me
Cause when words meet heartbeats, baby, come on
You know it's not even fair and a first-round knockdown
Baby, the floor, you know I'm already there
And the sun sets high and that moon is low
Cause when words meet heartbeats, and words meet heartbeats,
Verse 1:
She wears a white dress
She sees the light and it's saying 'come back'
She's out the door but she hasn't left yet
And I start believing her when she says that
The city's gonna save her love
Don't leave her I know just what she's looking for
Oh but all she knows is a picture that keeps fading on
But I can't let her go that's why I'm telling her
Chorus:
I wanna love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
But you found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk, oooh
Verse 2:
She wears a gold cross
She sheds her skin but it never comes off
She hears the angels out on the streets
Tonight as she walks right by oh they sing so softly
They sing "oohh whooah, oohh whooah, oohh whooah
Love's right behind you oohh whooah"
Chorus:
I wanna love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
But you found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you've got
But you found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
Bridge:
Oohh whooah oohh whooah ohh whooah
Oh she floats off through a crowded room
She remembers the rows and rows of houses
And the street lights going on
That's why I'm telling her
Chorus:
I wanna love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
And you want to have it all
But you found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
I wanna love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you've got
And you want to have it all
But you found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
oohh whooah oohh whooah oohh whooah
I take the car and drive the night
The white stripes blur and ease my mind
When all that's left is a single line
Instead of this confusion
And I'm not certain of the way it was
And I'm not sure what I could of done
Oh but I wonder if it had been enough
To stop her from leaving
And I realize the only thing I know is
Chorus:
She said , I'm in love with some one else she said
I fell in love with some one else and I
I'm in love with some one and that's all that I know for sure
Verse 2:
I stop the car and close my eyes
I can see her face, but It takes a while
And it feeds it like the morning light
Slow and unfocused, So I go home and
She's sitting on the kitchen chair
Oh a suitcase waiting by the stairs
Oh they're both worn out from all the years
They're ready to let go
And I realize the only thing that's sure is
Chorus:
She said , I'm in love with some one else she said
I fell in love with some one else and I
I'm in love with some one and that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with some one else she said
She fell in love with some one else and that
She's in love with some one and that's all that I know for sure
Bridge:
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
And I'm on my knees
Yes and I realize the only thing I know is
Chorus:
She said , I'm in love with some one else she said
I fell in love with some one else and I
I'm in love with some one and that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with some one else she said
She fell in love with some one else and that
She's in love with some one and that's all that I know for sure
I'm in love with someone else she said
I fell in love with some one else and I
I'm in love with some one and that's all that I know for sure
She's in love with some one else she said
She fell in love with some one else and that
I turn my head
I can't shake the look you gave
And I'm good as dead
Cause oh those eyes are all it takes
And all I want is you
So I pull away
All I do is sit and wait
And I might as well write the words right on my face
That all I want is you, oh is you
Because I've kept my heart under control
Oh but lately all this time has taken its toll
Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul
So darling please forgive me
I want you and you'll just have to know
And all my fears creep and crawl across my skin and
These four walls are after me and moving in
And all that I want to do
Is give up, give in, let this one stay where it is
But I don't suppose I will
Because I've kept my heart under control
Oh but lately all this time has taken its toll
Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul
So darling please forgive me
I want you and you'll just have to know
One of these days I'm gonna find myself a way
I'll find the courage and I'll find the grace
And I'm gonna know just what to say
And you'll walk on up when you want this love
When you've had enough and you've given up
Because I've kept my heart under control
Oh but lately all this time has taken its toll
Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul
So darling please forgive me
I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind
What a way to start the new year
On my hands and knees cleaning up the dirt and grime
What a way to start the new year
I'm sick of holding both ends of the tightrope
Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for me
Stretched thin to the end trying to keep it all in
What a way to start the new year
Won't you say that it's alright?
Won't you tell me it's okay?
Because there's 364 more days
I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
That I like it in the shadows
Counting down to zero just to start again
Oh what a way to start the new year
Don't get me wrong, I hate this holiday
What a way to start the new year
On my hands and knees, choosing what I have to say
What a way to start the new year
I never realized it could mean so much
Just to go to bed later when we have to get up all the same,
And we scream and clap for the end of what was and what we've become
Won't you say that it's alright?
Won't you tell me it's okay?
Because we have 364 more days
I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
That I like it in the shadows
Counting down to zero just to start again
Oh what a way to start the new year
Was it really that bad?
And could it be better?
Well, I don't know, but with you I still have hope
That this could be my year
364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero
Maybe we'll both say
364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero
Maybe we'll both say
The Mess I Made Lyrics
Should've kissed you there
I should've held your face
I should've watched those eyes
Instead of run in place
I should've called you out
I should've said your name
I should've turned around
I should've looked again
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away
Should've held my ground
I could've been redeemed
For every second chance
That changed its mind on me,
I should've spoken up
I should've proudly claimed
That oh my head's to blame
For all my hearts mistakes
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away
And it's you...
And it's you...
And it's you...
And it's you...
And it's falling down
As you walk away
And it's on me now
As you go...
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away
And it's falling down
As you walk away
And it's on me now
As you go...
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm staring at the mess I made
I'm a white flag waiving
When there's no fight left to win
In the desert waiting
For the tide to bring me
When love goes nobody
Wants to say it did.
I realize, baby, there's no
[Chorus]
No square one,
Just the lines in the sand.
No warning,
Just the sun going down.
From now on,
I'm just a face in the crowd.
You're never gonna see it again
Never gonna get back baby
We were water(fading)
Trying a lot of flames
That we poured(put) out
We were landing,
Claimed we'd(Plane had)
Never left the ground
We were looking for the sign
That this ship was going down
While we were treading water,
Baby
Chorus
You're never gonna see it again
Never gonna get back baby
No square one,
Oh just a shape in the clouds
No memories,
Just a picture you found
From now on,
I'm just a face in the crowd
You're never gonna see it again
We're never gonna get back baby
I need your love
I need that (insert city) love
Oh I need your love
I can't give this up
And oh I need your love
Chorus
You're never gonna see it again
Never gonna get back
Oh there's gonna be no warning
Never gonna get back
Never gonna see it again
Never gonna get back, yeah
Never gonna get back this way
(Bari Sax Solo)
Oh and when I see you
On the streets of (insert city)
Well I wanna know you
I wanna know who you are
And when I see you
On the streets of (insert city)
Well I wanna know you
You wake up every morning looking for your answer
You're waiting for your sign
While Jeremiah's on his way to tell the people
But you watch him pass you by.
You walk the streets at night still looking for the reason...
But you don't want to try
You swear the world has got you backed into a corner
But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight.
You swear the light is gonna find you
But it can't find you if you're waiting all the time.
Chorus:
You say 'keep my head from going down'
Just for a little just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little just for a little
A little love if you can hear this sound
Oh just give me something
Something to believe in.
You spend your days alone still hoping for the truth oh
But all you hear are lies
But no one else is gonna tell you what to do now
No one else is gonna to help you hold the line.
Sometimes it's hard to keep on living
But you're the one who's got to know just when it's right.
Chorus:
You say 'keep my head from going down'
Just for a little just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little just for a little
A little love if you can hear this sound
Oh just give me something
Something to believe in.
Love come take me now
Love come take me
Love come take me now
Love come take me take me now
Come take me take me now
Come take me take me now
Come take me take me now.
Chorus:
You say 'keep my head from going down'
Just for a little just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little just for a little
A little love if you can hear this sound
Oh just give me something
Something to believe in.
Something to believe in
Love come take me
(Something to believe in)
Love is gonna take me take me take me
(Something to believe in)
Love is gonna come and save me
(Love is gonna save me)
[Parachute - Something To Believe In (Jeremiah).
Chorus:
You say 'keep my head from going down'
Just for a little just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little just for a little
A little love if you can hear this sound
Oh just give me something
I've been beaten down,
I've been kicked around
But she takes it all for me,
And I lost my faith,
In my darkest days,
But she makes me want to believe.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She's all I need.
Well I had my ways,
They were all in vain,
But she waited patiently.
It was all the same,
All my pride and shame,
And she put me on my feet.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.
And when that world slows down, dear,
And when those stars burn out, here,
Oh she'll be there.
Yes she'll be there.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.
She is love, and she is all I need.
She is love, and she is all I need.
1..2..
I've been beaten down
I've been kicked around
But she takes it all for me
And I lost my faith
In my darkest days
But she makes me want to believe
They call her love, love, love, love, love (x2)
She's all I need
Well I had my ways
They were all in vain
But she waited patiently
It was all the same
All my pride and shame
But she put me on my feet
They call her love, love, love, love, love (x3)
She is love
And she is all I need
And when that world slows down, dear
And when those stars burn out here
Oh, she'll be there
Yes she'll be there
They call her love, love, love, love, love (x4)
She is love
And she is all I need
She is love
And she is all I need
She is love
And she is all I need
She has no problem with secrets
She knows how to keep them
She never felt the need to let them show
And I've had no trouble with speaking
Or trusting my instincts
That maybe this is one that I should know
But as I'm waiting there
The devil on my shoulder stares
Laughing that the one thing I can't get
Is what I need
She, She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
And I couldn't speak
I couldn't breathe to save my life
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
This time it's it
I'll drown or make her mine
My vocal chords have been fighting
My mouth likes to spite me
It never says the words that come to mind
I brought a stick to a gun fight
And I'm stuck with my tongue tied
I run but I can't hide what's always there is
She, She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
And I couldn't speak
I couldn't breathe to save my life
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
This time it's it
I'll drown or make her mine
I can see these things I'd do
But never seem to follow through
She, She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
She, She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
And I couldn't speak
I couldn't breathe to save my life
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
This time it's it
I'll drown or make her mine
I couldn't speak
I couldn't breathe to save my life
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
This time it's it
Verse 1:
Like a gunshot from miles away
She's moving in
Like a rainstorm with out the clouds
She falls on you
Like a phone call to worn the truth
It never rings
Chorus:
It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia
Verse 2:
They met after work one day
She laughed with him
They drove off their separate ways
Then met for drinks
When he got home the silent guilt was deafening
Chorus:
It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia
Bridge:
She thought that love was gonna fight
She thought that love was gonna take her home
She thought that love was gonna save her
But love just never showed
She felt that love was always watching
Oh we learned that love was supposed to wait
But sometimes it's the feelings
That are standing in the air
He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest
She's a million miles away across the bed
She rolls over puts her hand across his chest
Chorus:
It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia
oooooooohooooo
Oh this is one small step I know
But it's the last time I'll ever see you're face
I'll go out on a limb and we'll hope it won't break
It's just five words
So I'm figuring out just what I need to say
I'm writing it down and I'm getting it straight
It's a double edge sword. It's a very first date.
It can go both ways.
What I had was tried and true
But all I want is you
So I'm trying hard not to fight it
Light this fire and stand right beside it
If I go down at least I'll go in flames
I'll sing it out at the top of my lungs
The choir is small but it sings a big song
And If I go down at least you know my name.
Oh this is one big step I sure
It might not mean much but I can't do much better
I never thought it'd be so hard
To say Hello.
I caught a glimps and I never looked back
I'll throw out the rope and we'll cut out the slack
I'm keeping things tight and keeping things on track
It's just five words
What I had was tried and true
But all I want is you
So I'm trying hard not to fight it
Light this fire and stand right beside it
If I go down at least I'll go in flames
I'll sing it out at the top of my lungs
The choir is small but it sings a big song
Take the phone
It's out there all alone
Left it on the table where it was
Keep the car
The keys are in the front
It's out there on the street right where I parked
And I know I don't know much
But I know that a man feels many things
It's a fleeting urge to run
Like a bird flying by on a summer breeze
Like the sound of a train if you're listening
It just fades in
Then it disappears
Mark the map
Pack a couple bags
Dream myself a ticket
Don't come back
And I know I don't know much
But I know that a man feels many things
It's a fleeting urge to run
Like a bird flying by on a summer breeze
Like the sound of a train if you're listening
It just fades in
Then it disappears
If I could disappear
You don't have to know why you're going
Just why it is you want to leave
If I disappear
You don't have to know where you're going
Just where it is you want to be
You don't have to know where you're going
Just where it is you want to be
And I know I don't know much
But I know that a man feels many things
It's a fleeting urge to run
Like a bird flying by on a summer breeze
Like the sound of a train if you're listening
It just fades in
Then it disappears
Walk away
Leave it all behind
Dream up the escape
There's a new wave
There's a blank screen
There's a black line
Where your name should be
I can feel it
But I can't see
There's a strange song playing on the radio
I, I've been waiting for that call
Trying to get busy
I, I've been waiting for that call
Oh you know
I'm an animal
I'm a cigarette
If I'm burning out
Then I'm not done yet
Baby I, I've been waiting for that call
I can't move on
I can't walk away
Cause there's no one else
Who could take your place
I can see the light
Then I hear my name
And I know deep down
I'm gonna be okay
Oh you never know
When it's gonna hit
If you think you do
Then you don't know shit
It's a long day waiting on the world to end
I, I've been waiting for that call
Trying to get busy
I, I've been waiting for that call
Oh you know
I'm an animal
I'm a cigarette
If I'm burning out
Then I'm not done yet
A sky blue and the walls passed me outside
And I saw your face as some sort of neon dream
And of all the cars, and the bars, and the stars
On Sunset Boulevard, I saw you
And you couldn't tell me what that means
Or what I'd seen
Pre-
Oh but then it hit me, it was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking and washed it away
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming,
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
Well the street lights flickered and the hot air side
The conversation had stopped on a diamond
A cruise missile climbed into this little land of these mighty dreams of mine
And I was told don't speak with your mouth open, but
I couldn't helṗ it cause you were chosen as I,
I watched that sky blue limo drive away
Pre-
Oh but then it hit me, it was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking and washed it away
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming,
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
A little skin, a little money
A little taste, a little honey
A little white lie, but if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge
A little skin, a little money
A little taste, a little honey
A little white lie, but if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge
A little skin, a little money
A little taste, a little honey
A little white lie, but if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
I didn't see it coming
O-o-oh
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming,
I didn't see it coming
I feel the beat of your heart on my skin
As I count all the breaths that I've watched you breathe in
I can still taste the kiss that you left on my lips
In the silence comes a sleep
Like the tide comes to the beach
So darling
I can't wait for you to wake up
I want to be there when you open your eyes
Darling don't look back
No need to worry
I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side
So go make your way through the dreams that you dream
Darling you can take all of the time that you need
You know you're not alone as you swim through the deep
Like a ship calls through the fog
You won't hear me till you're gone
So darling
I can't wait for you to wake up
I want to be there when you open your eyes
Darling don't look back
No need to worry
I'll be here waiting on the other side
So darling
I can't wait for you to wake up
I want to be there when you open your eyes
Darling don't look back
No need to worry
I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
You won't cry, standing on the porch because you said goodbye
Told him you were leaving, now you're high and dry
You had nowhere else to go, I opened up the door and let you come inside
Oooo you didn't mean it
Ooo he's gonna ask where you've been
Oooo before you go back
Baby let me tell you this wait is over
And the the thrill is gone
If you come back and you got it wrong
You know that you don't have to leave
You don't have to go
This wait is overrrr
Let me drive you home
Ooooooooo
Let me drive you home
Ooooooooooo
Yeah, summer heat, staring at the ceiling, but I just cant sleep wondering what your doing
When it comes to me, there's nothing I can do, its always up to you
Yes and I lay awake in bed at night
I picture you when I close my eyes
I can see you there, in the porch, in the light
I might never feel your kiss
Baby let me tell you this wait is over
And the the thrill is gone
If you come back and you got it wrong
You know that you don't have to leave
You don't have to go
This wait is overrrr
Let me drive you home
Ooooooooo
Let me drive you home
Ooooooooooo
Baby cause I need to know, do ya feel it? can ya feel it?
Baby cause I need to know, is it real? yeaaaah
This wait is over and the thrill is gone
If you come back and you got it wrong
You know that you don't have to leave
You don't have to go
This wait is overrrr
Let me drive you home
Ooooooooo
When I found you
You could run so fast
You never really wanted love
And it couldn't really hold you back
You were that speed train
And you were still on the run
Yeah you would crash right in
And then you'd just move along
Oh I know that it haunts me
Wishing you could just stay
Drive away if you want to
You can slow down babe
But you just can't wait
Don't you see?
You can try to fight it
But it's meant to be
You and me
Baby please
Don't believe
Anything they tell you
Right here
I swear
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
When you fly off
Yes you get so high
You never want to come back down
And you never really had to try
Baby all I know
And that I've come to find
You can the touch the sun
But you're never gonna kiss the sky
Oh I know that it haunts you
Wishing you could be there
Fly away if you want to
It's a new view babe
But it's the same air
Don't you see?
You can try to fight it
But it's meant to be
You and me
Baby please
Don't believe
Anything they tell you
Right here
I swear
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
Overnight I walk these midnight streets alone
All the lights they try to pull me in
Oh and I should be sleeping
Oh but I cant close my eyes anymore
So wide awake again
And everybody says that I should just forget
The hardest part is over with
But it's so dark and I cant see the light
There will never be a heart that I could break
That I could find to take your place
There's nothing I can do
I can't get over you overnight
Yeah I can't get over you overnight
Overnight I watch the strangers pass me by
Every time their face looks just like you
Oh and I still remember you in my arms
When I would hold you
Back when the sun would always rise too soon
And everybody says that I should just forget
The hardest part is over with
But it's so dark and I can't see the light
And there will never be a heart that I could break
That I could find to take your place
There's nothing I can do
I can't get over you overnight ohhh
I can't get over you overnight
Yes, I should be sleeping overnight
Yeah, I can't get over you overnight
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping
Said everybody says that I should just forget
The hardest part is over with
It's so dark and I can't see the light
And there will never be a heart that I could break
That I could find to take your place
There's nothing I can do
I can't get over you overnight
Stuck In The Middle
I smacked my woman, and here's the counter-attack
She's a bullet with a target, and the wall is scratching my back
She was a tough pill to swallow
And now she eats me just like that
She's a bloodhungry vampire-bat
She slams her jaws together and it makes me scared
'cos I'm stuck in the middle
She's a chick without a reason to care
That I'm stuck in the middle
Oh, she bites hard and it makes me scared
'cause I'm stuck in the middle
She hasn't got a single reason to care
That I'm stuck in the middle
I'm getting eaten with a silverspoon, my head is about to crack
She's a manetarian, and I'm just a light snack
Like a dessert on her menu, there's not much I can do about that
I've been way to easy to catch
She slams her jaws together and it makes me scared
'cos I'm stuck in the middle
She's a chick without a reason to care
That I'm stuck in the middle
Oh, she bites hard and it makes me scared
'cause I'm stuck in the middle
She hasn't got a single reason to care
'cause I'm stuck in the middle --
% It's coming up to my usual standards
It's all such a thrilling damage
It's not about the way I can't stand it
It's more like the way I planned this%
Now you know what kind of stuff I fancy
As the sunset fades
Through the window pane
Stars bleed in with the city
Melt off with the rain
Your mind is racing
Your heart won't rest
And the night goes on
Now you have a chance that you can't pass up
It's time to take one shot
Just hope you're ready now
And pray that this was all enough
But you have to wonder
Can you still deliver?
Can you hold the gun?
Could pull the trigger?
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
Than you ever been before
See the spotlight shine
Their eyes focus in
Feel the weight crush down
Around you as the pressure builds
The bell is ringing
And the fight's beginning
Will you take a bow?
Or go down swinging?
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
Than you ever been before
Higher and higher
You're gonna take this higher
Higher and higher
You're gonna take this higher
Higher and higher
Oh you're gonna take it all the way
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
You gotta go higher
Woke up from a dream
I saw you crying
Nothing I could do
And no use trying
Porcelain from the table
Is shattered on the floor
Once it left the station
Oh it can't stop anymore
Standing by the bedroom door
Staring at an empty face
I can see it in your eyes
Some things you can never change
Nothing else that I can do
While I'm waiting for the end to come
I know youre gonna walk away
But you should know that you're the only one
You're the only one
Came in from a cold
That cut like diamonds
Paint on every wall
But still I find them
Footprints on the floorboards
Lipstick on the sheets
Tell myself they faded
Don't we all just a little bit?
Standing by the bedroom door
Staring at an empty face
I can see it in your eyes
Some things you can never change
Nothing else that I can do
While I'm waiting for the end to come
I know youre gonna walk away
But you should know that you're the only one
People look so small form up above
But the closer I get it starts to unfold
I'm getting closer, and it feels alright
I'm diving deeper, into your eyes
And I would do my best not to crash
So crazy how i know you got my back
I'm leaning forward, I'll take the lead
I said a second, ten thousand feet
As I'm calling form afar
Diving faster than a shooting star
I'm falling hard right into your arms
I know that you will break my fall
And it feels so good, knowing that you
Will be my parachute
All is blue, but when i close my eyes
I discover fears that's hidden deep inside
I wanna go back, but it's too late
Unless the wind will change
It'll slow my pains
As I'm calling form afar
Diving faster than a shooting star
I'm falling hard right into your arms
I know that you will break my fall
And it feels so good, knowing that you
Will be my parachute
I'm never scared of flying
This time i feel like dying
I'm almost there
I'm getting close
I travel far
Just to get on to you, you oh
As I'm calling form afar
Diving faster than a shooting star
I'm falling hard right into your arms
I know that you will break my fall
And it feels so good, knowing that you
Will be my parachute
As I'm calling form afar
Diving faster than a shooting star
I'm falling hard right into your arms
I know that you will break my fall
And it feels so good, knowing that you
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
Inside of me
All my life I've waited for you to find me
Taken from me and now I'll never know
just how it feels to need you
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
Burning in me
All my life I've waited to break this silence
Expectations
and will I ever know
just how it feels to forget
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
And now in my head I know you understand
And now I am bending cause you will never understand
Right in front of me
All this time I never could see (Right in front of me)
Right in front of me
All this time I never could see (It's right in front of me)
How far will you go for me till you break
I know you will leave me alone again
I know you want me to be everything to you
but I need something more than this
I am a parachute unbound
To keep the feet back from the ground
No matter where i put myself
I´m on my way no doubt no doubt
I´m going to mexico tonight
I leave you now i´m out of sight
And at the doorway say goodbye
You will be fine
I am a parachute unbound
To keep the feet back from the ground
No matter where i put myself
I´m on my way no doubt no doubt
I´m going to mexico tonight
I leave you now i´m out of sight
And at the doorway say goodbye
She wants to glide in a parachute
Paper-thin
She feels so large up there
Looking down at them
Oh, fire up the forgiving
You, are you dead or living?
Another day, another fifteen cents
Where is my tiger, he?s over the fence
You never tell her
What she needs to hear
Just keep her guessing
You fill her up with doubt and fear
Oh, fire up the forgiving
You, are you dead or living?
Another day, another fifteen cents
Where is my tiger, he?s over the fence
You, with your loud pride
Mixed with Haitian rum
You with your sidestepping
The decay of your love
You sit and smoke with a stranger
Don?t stay too long
I know that you said she was crazy
But you needed someone
Oh, fire up the forgiving
You, are you dead or living?
Another day, another fifteen cents
I don't tell anyone about the way you hold my hand
I don't tell anyone about the things that we have planned
I won't tell anybody
Won't tell anybody
They want to push me down
They want to see you fall (down)
Won't tell anybody how you turn my world around
I won't tell anyone how your voice is my favourite sound
Won't tell anybody
Won't tell anybody
They want to see us fall
They want to see us fall
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
Don't believe the things you tell yourself so late night and
You are your own worst enemy
You'll never win the fight
Just hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
It's you and me up against the world
It's you and me
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I won't fall out of love
I won't fall out of,
I won't fall out of love
I won't fall out of,
I won't fall out of love
I won't fall out of,
I won't fall out of love
I'll fall into you
I won't fall out of love
I won't fall out of,
I won't fall out of love
I won't fall out of,
I won't fall out of love
I won't fall out of,
I won't fall out of love
I'll fall into you
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
I think that smile is shutting down
Or maybe it's just flinching
The sun shot up just like a child
But these old hands are only inching
Would you believe it is my fault
I went and made myself lonely
I miss the way she said my name
Like I was a distant city
Winter came and swept away
The birds nest from my chimney
The cold air marched right through the walls
And settled her in my belly
But her memory keeps me tossing
Those letters into the fire
And the flames they're twisting to substain
A love which has retired
Now New York is not a place I'd choose
To have my body buried
But Omaha has got the trains to take
The snow to the cemetery
There is a place called home i believe
If you're willing to step out of the loop
I miss the way she held on to me
Think of me when your world seems to fall apart Under the weight of a heavy heart It's so material, criminal, what we put up on a pedestal Need a spark to start a fire Don't be afraid of a chance for a miracle Scare it away being cynical Step into open skies, close your eyes Jump into something you don't recognize Just reach your arms out wide
Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cuz we got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cuz we got love Think of what we had, we got love And it's all we had, we got love Think of what we had, we got love
I'll be the voice when the whispers get too loud Your home base and the king that keeps you crowned Your breath when you're choking on your words Your sex your right turn When you're ready to start, lean on my heart baby Close your eyes just reach your arms out wide
Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cuz we got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cuz we got love Think of what we had, we got love And it's all we had, we got love Think of what we had, we got love
Don 't need a tune with a view on the Westside Just wanna wake up at your side Cuz when you know it, you know it In the blink of a moment It's like I'm, like I'm, like I'm falling for the first time
