Spend your nights here
We'll always be up late
Keep each other on
Chemicals can make us stay
I meant you're outta line
With your friends and all your jokes
Moving out tonight
Making phones that hot to hold
And you really didn't know
And you really didn't know
Spend your days here
And never give up now
You keep the children down
You're down for one more hour
Imagine I would feel
If your friends were all your dates
I'm moving out with her
Do you shake? you'll be ok
And if you really didn't know
I swear I really didn't know
So I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, oh no
and I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry
Spend your nights here
We'll always be up late
Keep each other up
Chemicals can make us stay
I meant you're outta line
With your friends and all your jokes
Moving out tonight
Making phones that hot to hold
And if you really didn't know
I swear I really didn't know
So I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, oh no
And I'm sorry, so sorry
maybe i should drop you at you door
and leave tonight and vanish up the shore
anywhere but here
it's three o'clock i'm driving in your car
your screaming at the window at the stars
please don't drive me home
blame us cause we are who we are
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose that you would go
i've already learned enough to know that...
tell me all the places we can go
you count the headlights passing on the road
a long long time ago
blame us cause we are who we are
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose that you would go
i've already learned enough to know that...
here here we are foreign to their world
straight and composed
your sermons i can do without
i've finally found that
everybody loves to love you
when you're far away
could it be we've done something wrong
i'll make it back to your place before dawn
please don't drive me home
please don't take me home
blame us cause we are who we are
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose that you would go
It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day
And you wont feel a thing
And you wont recall anything at all
Close your eyes and take your last breath
Press your head aside, the end is the beginning
Everyone between is so lost, so lost.
Let your colors collide
The time is so right
I keep running behind
But I know your meaning
You love to fall
(...)
The perfect time of day
Wooooo it's the perfect time of day
Come on now
It's the perfect time of day
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you, yeah
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide
I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find you and I collide
Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide
Crushed in the arms...
Crushed in the arms of a bear.
Crushed in the arms...
Crushed in the arms of a bear.
In my strain...
In my strain...
In my strain...
In my strain...
Now I could never fall in love.
And feeling such a thrill
Why don't you anger me, anger me, I will.
Oh... Why don't you anger me?
Anger me I will.
Oh Why don't you anger me?
(crushed in the arms)
Now I could never fall in love. (i strain)
And feeling such a person. (in my strain)
And feeling such a person
Anger me. You anger me.
Strangle me. You strangle me.
Strangle me... and I strain...
And I strain... (of a bear)
And I strain... (crushed in the arms)
And I strain... (of a bear)
And I strain... (crushed in the arms)
And I strain...
Why don't you just go...
Why don't you just go...
Why don't you just go...
Strangle me... Strangle me...
Oh I strain...
Strangle me... Strangle me...
Oh I strain...
Strangle me... Strangle me...
Why don't you just..
Strangle me... Strangle me...
hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Sweet is the sight
Of her room
Window opened by candlelight
Cold winter on the shore
Chills the dress she wore
It's on the floor
Still it feels so warm tonight
And that's why I'm wondering why
You had to tell me
What's going on in your head
What's wrong
Come around to another time when you
Won't have to run
And when she says she wants somebody else
I hope you know that's she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and makes a sound
You'll never hear her the way that I do
And when she says she wants someone to love
I hope you know that she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and lets you down
I hope you know that she doesn't mean you
Swing her into flight
Over her hills at twilight
I guess that's right now
While we're here
Tell me why it's so funny
That you're so funny
When you're mad
Calcutta streams from porch life
Where we opened up our party gifts
And you fell down the stairs on purpose
And you drive to Europe in the rain
Your hair is done up (but no one's gonna see it)
Maybe you should take me home
What could be so wonderful about this
What could be so wonderful?
The half light wakes you up the morning after
Fall down with me
And roll around now
Find out about the music
Is the CD jammed or upside down
I'd really like to feel you with dinner
And we're sitting on a city bench
Together in a tourist town
If the fashion ad were here you'd be in it
Girl is cold but so is he
But he's still warm she's way too kind
When you walked in the morning after
Looking good and you know it
I'm closing my eyes and I'm spinning
Spin me away away
I don't know if I should stay but
What do I do when you say
Cold in the Sun
My feet on the ground
A pale windless city
A numbness for sound
I'll wait, back here
or will you notice
A moment in time
A photograph lost here
Since you were mine
I'll wait back here
or should I start pushing my way back
Yeah...
Should I start pushing my way back
I walk past your room
A deep silhouette
You're tired of racing
I dont understand
I'll wait, back here
Cold and beneath me
A soaked cigarette
I'm asleep on a shoulder that I've never met
I'll wait back here
Or should I, start pushing my way back
Yeah...
Should I start pushing my way
home
And I'm with all these women
And I'm on the edge of my breath
Ohh...
And I'm thinking of leaving
I could just lay down
Lay down and freeze to death.
Yeah.....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Ohhh....
Cold in the Sun
My feet on the ground
A pale windless city
Pictures blurred in her head
Won't let them win
She'll make you come
Right back and let her in
For the one that you love
Is more than them fuck them
Think about her now
She's yours anyway
And everything else doesn't matter
Really 'cause that girl that you want
She's never going away
And if you want her you can't have her
Break yourself into a million pieces
Everything else can wait for you
So everything else can wait for you to do
They will all just go away
All of those demons
Enjoy this life right now
You know what you're to do
And letters
Yes they matter write her quite a few
And she might love you for it
But you can't count on it
And I'm screaming for the breath
That makes you alive
You want that girl
For all that you can try
Once you have her
I know she'll be so great for you
I know she'll try something
Come lay down at the edge
Come lay down at the broken edge
Come lay down at the feet of angels
Eyeing you in a northern sky
Come lay down at the end
Come lay down where the times suspended
Come lay down and hear the voices
Calling you from a northern sky
Follow me and don't look down You're alright
Come with me and forget you're high
It's alright in all
Your eyes are open and singing
Your eyes are open
And not quite breathing
Your eyes are open
You're seeing things
That I can't see as hard as I try
Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,
Don't look down
Keep your eyes off the ground
So afraid
These days will fall
Like tears down your face
Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,
Follow me don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
Every night is disco night
With you I'm living every moment for you
Seeing things in a different way
Of my god I'm thankful that you're leaving
Is there something we can do, this afternoon
Is there nothing left to say
Oh your love, cautions you
You are something new
Afternoon
I'll make it up to somehow
I'm laughing and you're dancing like my mother
I'll teach you to go off on me
Shake, shake from the horror
Mirror naked feeling hot
Your radio is not store bought but stolen
Another night is going out
It's Saturday and now you've got the fever
Is there something we can do, this afternoon
Is there nothing left to say
Oh your love, cautions you
You are something new
Afternoon
Is there something we can do, this afternoon
Is there nothing left to say
Oh your love, warning you
And you are so beautiful
You'll just have to do
So....so....
I'm not so sure
Are you? Doesn't matter
Really
It's almost time
He was fully aware
He was crushed in the arms of a bear
What?
Turnabout
Look
What are you doing?
Well then, it's true
The Drugs Don't Work - Performed by Howie Day (originally performed by The Verve)
all this talk of getting old
it's getting me down my lord
like a cat in a bag waiting to drown
this time i'm coming 'round
and i hope you're thinking of me
as you lay down on your side
now the drugs don't work they just make you worse
but i know i'll see your face again
now the drugs don't work they just make you worse
but i know i'll see your face again
but i know i'm on a losing streak
as i pass down by your street
and if you want a show
then just let me know
and i'll sing in your ear again
now the drugs don't work they just make you worse
but i know i'll see your face again
cause maybe
if heaven falls
i'm coming to
just like you said
if you leave my life
i'm better off dead
all this talk of getting old
it's getting me down my love
like a cat in a bag waiting to drown
this time i'm coming 'round
now the drugs don't work they just make you worse
but i know i'll see your face again
cause maybe
if heaven falls
i'm coming to
just like you said
if you leave my life
i'm better off dead
but if you want a show
then just let me know
and i'll sing in your ear again
now the drugs don't work they just make you worse
but i know i'll see your face again
i know i'll see your face again
never coming down
Light up, light up this afternoon
Somehow I've found myself with you
Start up, start up our getaway car
I'm in too deep we've come this far
So bright, so bright you're a blinding sun
No need to hurry, we've just begun
Call out, call out your ocean''s move
The water's warm I'd swim to you
Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I like us best
Undressed
Turn on, turn on you're a stereo
We'll shake these walls you're sunset n low
Good love, good love I finally see
The past is gone for you, for me
Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I like us best
Undressed
In a world full of chaos
Shut out this deafening roar,
For just one minute more
Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I like us best..
Come on, get in
Let's go, jump in
I must confess
I love you best
Undressed
I must confess
I was alone, so not afraid
I was staying up with you way too late
I thought someone like you
Could come around n make my faults
Seem like they were none at all
Come on somebody help me out
I'm underwater drowned in doubt
But it feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Seems just like we fake it
Pretend it isn't happening
Pretend that it'll go away
Oh but what do I know?
It was all mixed up, ahead of the curve
When you were lying to the world
See I want to lie there too
Feeling down n all around
I see your back in every town
You'll be the one to hold me down
Tell me, is it too late now?
Cuz it feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Seems just like we fake it
Pretend it isn't happening
Pretend that it'll go away
Oh but what do I know?
I want to be alive like you
Be so easy like you
I want to love like you do
Oh wonderous one
It feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Seems just like we fake it
Pretend it isn't happening
Pretend that it'll go away
It feels just like we're weightless
Weightless when we're together
Isn't it time to face it, what we already know?
Feels just like we're turning
Turning ourselves in circles
Pretend that we can find a way
Oh but what do I know?
But what do I know?
All that you wanted to say
I'll never come here again
All that I wanted to say
All gone
Springtime is always in hand
Almost as if you were there
Making a hole under me again
Hold on
Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
Thing that I fear
Take all the love outta me
So I'd never see it again
Lost, where are we
On our plane
Ah, yes
Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
Thing that I fear
Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
A thing that I share
Hold on
There's trouble in here
Is it dark, where you are??
Can you count the stars where you are??
Do you feel like you are a thousand miles from home??
Are you lost, where you are??
Can you find your way when you're so far??
Do you fear, where you are?
A thousand nights alone
So here we are set into motion
We'll steal a car and crash in the ocean
You and I, caught in a fading light
On the longest night
It's enough, just to find love
It's the only thing to be sure of
So hard, to let go of
A thousand times or more
I was close to a fault line
Heaven knows, you showed up in time
Was it real?
Now I feel, like I'm never coming down
So here we are, set into motion
Steal a car, crash in the ocean
You and I, caught in a fading light
On the longest night
I recall when we were together
Even now it seems like forever
So alive caught in a fading light
On the longest night
Can we go too far to find what is waiting here??
A little fall from grace
On the longest night
Did we go too far to find what is waiting here??
We'll take a little time, to open again
Is it dark where you are??
It's not that bad
We could have died
Chalk it up to being young
Can you prove it was me?
No morning drive
No blurred headlight
from the corner of my eye
If only you were here right now,
you'd tell me...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't it be more than livin' in your wake
If you and I would ever cease to be
Yeah...
Your summer dress
and how they caught us on the stairs
That silent song you'd sing to me
keeps singing...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't I be more than livin' in your wake
if you and I would ever cease to be
No, my love
Hold on
We bend, I break
You fall, we scrape
I blame it all on being older now
I'm still singing...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't I be more than livin' in your wake
if you and I would ever....yeah
if you and I would ever cease to be
Well I don't know if I can last
When I come and rescue you
And I don't know if my past
Is enough, for me anymore
So I can take it as a test
I will see when night gets old
And I'd change it, if I could
But something's wrong
It's understood
And sometimes I miss you
I know that you'll make it
All too real now
I wish it was fake
Sound the alarm
I know we'll make it right, alright
I Know this night
Is your night
That's right
Well I don't know if I could turn
Every bridge that I have burned
To overcome the sense of loss
You gained so much, at such a cost
And sometimes I miss you
I know that you'll make it
All too real now
I wish it was fake
Sound the alarm
I know we'll make it right, alright
I know this night
Is all right
That's right
And sometimes I miss you
I know that you'll make it
All too real now
I wish it was fake
Sound the alarm
I know we'll make it right, alright
And I know tonight
Is all right
Right, all right
We'll be all right
Right, all right
We'll be all right
Gonna be all right
All right

=========================================
Now will you overcome this impression?
When the life that you lead
Is second guessing me?
So you've come for things you left behind
You left me here with all this on my mind
I'll be fine
Now I feel so stung
Now I feel so stung
All I want to feels is affected
When all you want to be is protected
And when you realize you're on your own
The wind can push the sails and drive you home
This I know
Now I feel so stung
(you got the best, you got the best of me)
Now I feel so stung
(you got the best, you got the best of me)
I can see it come and go
(can you feel it? we hit the ceiling?)
You can feel the undertow
(can you feel?)
I guess we'll never know
When you realize you're on the shore
The wind can push the sail and drive you home
(this I know)
Now I feel so stung
(you got the best, you got the best of me)
Now I feel so stung
(you got the best, you got the best of me)
Now I feel so stung
(you got the best, you got the best of me)
Now I feel so stung
(you got the best, you got the best of me)
By you
Here, where they can't find us
I dare them to call me out
Or tell you
We met here on purpose
I bet they can't wait to wake us up
It's all a little bit strange
I know it's a little bit strange
make a point and ignore them
come on let's wait this out
they'll find out
we never stop turning
and sometimes it's tough
to change direction
I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange
At the end of a day
I'm gonna say what I mean
It's slipping all away, away
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange
At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say what I mean
Well I'm
At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say what I mean
Slipping all away
It's slipping all away
It's slipping all away, now
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
Oh, there's no escape
(This is an early version of Madrigals...a few lyrics are different, and it had a different name)
I'm not so sure what I was dreaming
about, but I'm sure it was better
than this and I'll hope you suppose
that I'm alright, I'm buying you flowers
(Chorus)
Oh-ho-love
You told everyone you know everything...hu-uh-uh
your madrigals, your silver rings
I still see a flash
from the time I opened my eyes too wide
I couldn't have asked you to stay
I'm already falling to pieces
from this, and I hope you suppose
that I'm alright, I'm sending you flowers
(Chorus)
(Solo)
I still see a flash!
(Solo)
Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh, hoooooo, hoooooo
(Chorus) Come on!!
You told everyone, you know everything
your madrigals, and your silver rings
(Solo)
Time I opened my eyes too wide
I'm not so sure what I was dreaming
She was nervous
She was late
She left it up to fate
Standing at a phone oh
And she knows just what she wants
And she came here to take it
How perfect it could be
You and me
And she met him
At the door
I don't want you anymore
Remember what you said
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
He turned and he didn't wait
He walked right through the gate
So glad to be alone
And he knows who to call
I'll always be there for you
Call me anytime
I don't mean to offend
A voice on the other end
Is a stranger to me
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
And they say to themselves
And they say to themselves
How can I ever let this happen
You and a promise
It's your secret
Why would you tell it to me?
It's your lover
On the television scream (?)
Why would you not try to be?
Why would you not try to see?
It's about your blue hair
I want to stay the night with you
You got the beamiest face
Car turns right I'm into you
Right from wrong is not quite seen
Right from wrong is it everything?
It's your secret
It's your secret
Tell it to me
Tell it to me
Don't want to step on the cracks
The feeling is we didn't
You got the beamiest face
Car turns left I'm into you
Taking sleepy pills for rest
Anxious love gets so obsessed
It's your love affair
On a quiet sunday afternoon
And your speedy pills
You should know i'm into you
Why would you not try to be?
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey
Now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now
Crazy skies are wild with bubbly now
Wind's a-howlin at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
And all the times I tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darlin if you hear me now
I never needed you so bad
Spin around inside my head
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey
Now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now
I been talking drunk and jibberish
Falling in and out of fault
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
But did it ever come so far
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey
Now, now, now
Sail awy with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Jack me up and then put me down
Sail away with me
What will be will be
Postcard from Mars
Having your fill
You can't see the harm
In a little pill
See what you've done
Biding your time
Making my world
Unthoughtful in sunlight
Till I wake up
Boy I'll take some time to understand
Soon I'll be a part of this
The last time
Oh the last time
I'm sure it comes back on again
Some how you find
Passing the time
Moving along to a different light
Lie on your back
Oh you shoulder the blame
You can't find the time
And you can't find your way home
You shout out
Till I wake up
Boy I'll take some time to understand
Soon I'll be a part of this
The last time
For the last time
I'm sure, I'm coming back real soon
[bridge thru outro]
You're coming apart with me at the seams
We'll follow a man says "he lives in a dream"
Well you've been a part of everyone's style
Since the day you were born
But now you need something more
You're playing a part
Doesn't it hurt, when it's coming apart?
Hey now, I could surely manage a lot
I did it before
Postcard from Mars
Oh now how do you feel?
You can't see the harm
We had it all
We were young lovers
We were full of trust n fame
We were dead set on making
It last forever
Forever and a day
I recall it was fall last year
When it started to die
Standing still
As the temperature killed
The summer's thrills
That were keeping it alive
The days got colder
So I held you closer
In effort to save us some time
Almost like the wind came
And ruined the spark
And left us in the dark
Hey,
I could of told you
That I loved you
And stay,
Around a kindle of fire
But I was late,
Know my returning now
You lost all faith
And I am the liar
I'm no longer
What you require
And I still feel you and I
Turning in the sheets
When I turn out the light
A ton of ghosts
The ghost of your first love
Won't ever leave
Until the day that you die
I won't ever look down
Or ever leave you behind
Even if the choice was the right one
It was a good thing
Staring me right in the face
But I turned it right away
Hey,
I would of told you
That I loved you
And stay,
Around a kindle of fire
But I was late
Know my returning now
You lost all faith
Cuz I am the liar
I'm no longer
What you require
Back then
The days were so much faster
We were young
Staring at a lovers' disaster
Oh, oh, oh
No we can't go back
Even if you try
It's better to just forgot
And to close the door
Cuz It will never be the same
It will never be
The way it was before
Oh no, no, no
Oh hey,
I would of told you
That I loved you
And stay,
Around a kindle of fire
But I was late
Know my returning now
You lost all faith
Cuz I am the liar
Oh hey,
I would of told you
That I loved you
And stay,
Around a kindle of fire
But I was late
Know my returning now
You lost all faith
Cuz I am a liar
I'm no longer
What you require
1000 years ago today
We as two would be the same
I'd fall for you
Customized relationships
Do you feel the same about
Your flirt with love
And your certainty
The CIA wouldn't bother you
They would always know the truth
They'd never know who came
And I would fall 1000 miles
And you would fall fast to denial
The more you are
The more you need
The more you understand
The more you understand
The more you know
The more you feel
The more you understand
The sentiments are screaming out
The felony of who's left out
It's not you
You for me - me for you
We can always follow through
This makeshift date
But why give up your love
The way it goes
Call her name
Do you ever feel the same
And do you know who came
A year ago 1000 miles
How far away we are to smile
Too far gone to save
You'll know
The CIA is after you
What the hell is there to do but run
We made
A promise to eternity
Tucked away for you to see
On you're way you'll be
Baffled by relationships
Psyched up for the major lift
What you want to say
You're caught to blame
They erased your name
We will always be the same
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so (you'll never know)
I'm broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one...
So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return, oh, or will I ever learn
Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that wont ever come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
Lick my lips im fading
Lick my lips im fading
Lick my lips im fading slowly fading into you
And keep on stop your waiting
Keep on stop your waiting
Don't you keep on waiting cause im walking away from you
Well, we could all change
But i know that you will never change
You shut up the night and when the light hits
You talk to me
I was never so amazed
It was such a mutual craze
Between you and me and me and you
Lick my lips im fading
Lick my lips im fading
Lick my lips im fading slowly fading into you
And keep on stop your waiting keep on stop your waiting
Don't you keep on waiting cause im walking away from you
You could never walk away from me
Dance around but never be
You know you are the one who knows that
Laugh out loud so here it goes
I was never so amazed
It was such a mutual craze between you and me and me and you
Lick my lips im fading
Lick my lips im fading
Lick my lips im fading slowly fading into you
And keep on stop your waiting
On the phone to Saturday
Where did you go?
'Cause the tequila from your kiss is still around
And you're down
To remind me
I know that you're away
But you're not gone
Reeling inside
She wants to call
She can spin my motivation
Like a record off the wall
Don't you try
For anyone but yourself?
You do for me - don't you
I can feel it in your mind
Kristina falls down to the floor
She is fine and it's alright
She said you're broken drowned and drunk
No one had ever felt like she did before
Before you
Did you know that if you go down to planeside
I will be there waiting for you
At the top of the stairs
And you will be so beautiful
Kristina said
Let's have your party December
I don't know why she tries to be so real
Kristina said
Let's have your baby in September
I picture you in the sun, wondering what went wrong
You've fallen down on your knees, asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all I wish for and all I need
I picture you fast asleep, a night comes you can't keep away
May God's love be with you, always
May God's love be with you
I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
Cause when you show me myself
You know I became someone else
Cause I was caught in between all I wish for and all I need
I picture you fast asleep, a night that comes you can't keep away
May God's love be with you, always
May God's love be with you
Cause if I find, if I find my way, how much will I find
If I find, if I find my way, how much will I find
If I find, if I find my way, how much will I find, you, you, I find you, you
I don't know anymore, what it's for, I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun could you help me to understand
Cause I've been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Oh, maybe I'm not even sure what it's for anymore than me
May God's love be with you, always
May God's love be with you, always
May God's love be with you, always
May God's love be with you
Cause if I find, if I find my way, how much will I find
If I find, if I find my way, how much will I find
Make me fall down
Make me get up
And if I'm alright
Make sure I'm scared to death
Maybe I'm useless
Just couldn't remember
Maybe I'm nervous
And I'll make you surrender
I'll take you on
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't feel much better
Said it yourself
Said I'm not ready
And telling myself
But it's not sinking in
Maybe I'm new at this
It is just your reaction?
Be my illusion and I'll be your distraction
I'll take you on
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't feel much better
Would I be hurt?
It wouldn't hurt
See you again
You see what I meant
I told you before
That I never wanted to feel like this again
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
I got a letter today
An invitation
And the writing looked like you
"Hello, how are you?
And by the way, please RSVP "I do"'
I thought of writing the sad words
Of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells ring pretty well there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby
I'll wear the thorn of crowns
I will play the clown
You think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter now anyway
Couldn't bear to see you up there
With the white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away
I remember when
In a lover's whisper you said,
No other man would ever share your bed
Well we both know that's not been so
I wish I'd never let you go
Now you found a better man instead
I wish you health and wealth
And a white house on a hill
And I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl
A little more joy in this little old world
Well that'll be enough for me
You think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter anyway
Couldn't bear to see you up there
With the white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away
Time rolls on
Dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures
I have of you and I
And if you're ever wondering
If love can be true
Think of me
Remember darling
Like I, like I do
Old friendships fade away
Love falls apart
And you've not spent
a single day outside my heart
But there's just one more dream
That I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says
I need somebody not just anybody, help
You know I need someone
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
And now these days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
And now my life has changed in oh, so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me, help me
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
And now these days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me, help me
Lately I've been thinking
Lately I've been dreaming with you
I'm so resistant to this type of thinking
Oh, now it's shining through
I was alone for the last time
Before my night's vacation with you
Alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you
You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
I know there's little use in crying
It's more wide awake and dying then I'm used to
I thought we'd walk these streets together
Now I'm hoping that I'll never have to meet you
Step aside from all this anger
And somewhere in between I can feel you
Ask me should we try again
I'm thinking no
Y'know, it's not what I believe in
It's not what I believe in
You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
No I, wanna taste you, love
No I...no I
No I, just wanna taste you, love
Standing in your shoes
I turn and now
You're standing bare in my doorway
I only wish that I had been prepared
I'm gonna have to go along with your way
Just take the plastic camera out
It's the pants you borrowed in the driveway
Alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you
Make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
No I, wanna taste of love
No I...
I was alive from the first
make me fall down
make me get up
and if I’m alright
make sure I’m scared to death
maybe I’m useless
just couldn’t remember
maybe I’m nervous
and I’ll make you surrender
i’ll take you on
i’ll give it all away
but you don’t
but you don’t
i’ll give it all away
but you don’t feel much better
said it yourself
said I’m not ready
and telling myself
but it’s not sinking in
maybe I’m new at this
it is just your reaction?
be my illusion and I’ll be your distraction
i’ll take you on
i’ll give it all away
but you don’t
but you don’t
i’ll give it all away
but you don’t feel much better
would I be hurt
it wouldn’t hurt
see you again
you see what I meant
i told you before
that I never wanted to feel like this again
i’ll give it all away
but you don’t
but you don’t
i’ll give it all away
her pink plastic watering can
for her fake chinese rubber plant
and fake plastic earth
that she bought from a rubber man
in a town full of rubber plans
to get rid of itself
it wears her out
it wears her out
it wears her out
it wears her out
she lives with a broken man
a cracked polystyrene man
who just crumbles and burns
he used to do surgery
for girls in the eighties
but gravity always wins
and it wears her out
it wears her out
it wears her out
it wears her out
she looks like the real thing
she tastes like the real thing
my fake plastic love
but i can't help the feeling
i could blow trough the ceiling
if i just turn and run
it wears me out
it wears her out
it wears me out
it wears me out
if i could be who you wanted
if i could be who you wanted
all the time
She put her shoulder down into the rain
She doesn't know how she's gonna explain
The weight always been n probably be again
Cuz everyone loves to love a lie
Can't wait for the rain to stop falling
Such a victim of circumstance
On the edge and she thinks of running
Shattering all their plans
Late again and you won't stop calling
Such a victim of forlornness
Struck down with a strange cold addiction
He never had a chance
She'll need a miracle, to keep her feet down on the ground
She'll need a miracle, if she's ever to be found, yeah
And I swear it won't be long
Cuz everyone loves to love a lie
By the glow of a red light flashing
She's a vision of poetry
Not sure just a where she's crashing
Or who she's suppose do be
Doesn't know if it's sin, she's feeling
Doesn't know if it's someone else
Around the bend, there's a wrong turn a coming
She's putting it on herself
She'll need a miracle, just keep her feet down on the ground
She'll need a miracle, if she's ever to be found, yeah
And I swear it won't be long
Cuz everyone loves to love a lie
She'll go where she wants to go
Where she wants to go, where she wants to go
She'll need a miracle, just keep her feet down on the ground
She'll need a miracle, if she's ever to be found, yeah
And I swear it won't be long
Cuz everyone loves to love a lie
Cuz everyone loves to love a lie
Cuz everyone loves to love a lie
I see your face in the sun
By a streetlight
By the colors that glow in my eyes
And I see them burning bright
And I know we aren't supposed to be
Counting on me
Counting on me
You got me tied by the wrist,
By the shoulder,
By the blood that runs under my skin
And I see my hands turn white
And I know that I won't get free
You're counting on me
Counting on me
Counting on me
Counting on me
And you never knew that
I could be this way before
And I was living in your hallway
And you opened the door
Opened the door
And I can feel a change will come
(will come, will come)
And I know (know)
And I can feel a change will come now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tell me you find it
Tell me you find it here
Oh, oh, no oh..
You're counting on me
You're counting on me
Keep on counting on me
You're counting on me
And you know that I won't
'Cuz you know that I won't
So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I will hold every part of you if I could
And I'm oh...
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
And all that you have
And oh, I'm in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...
So you feel everything and everything should be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I'm in no condition to be
Alone
And I'm oh...
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
And all that you have
And oh, I'm in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...
On and on
So it's just your false alarm
Maybe I'll hold my breathe
And you'll be gone
All that you have... yeah...
All that you wanted...
Love
I'm in love again
Brace yourself with all that you have
Oh I'm in love again
Brace yourself... yeah...
Brace yourself... yeah...
Brace yourself with all that you have
Yeah...
Song: Be There
Artist: Howie Day
Album: Be There - Single ep release May 5, 2009(album out ?8-25-09)
When the morning came I was up before first light
And your bed was made, must have cut out some time last night
and My heartbeat started pounding out a rhythm in my brain
A voice from deep inside said, you got to be insane,
Everyone knows how this old story goes,
So I got in that taxi and drank my conscience away
If you're gonna be there.. be there
If you're gonna stay.. stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old.. I'm on the up..
Must be the good life..
I went to your friends house and begged you to open the door
With your hands on your hips you spoke while I sat down on that floor
two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink
You don't look so superior when you give your opinion
You think I don't know how you act on your own and
just who all these names on your cellphone anyway
If you're gonna be there.. be there
If you're gonna stay.. stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old.. I'm on the up..
Must be the good life..
--Instrumental--
you're a cool breeze in the setting sun,
New Year's, the 4th.. all wrapped into one,
you make me want to be someone that you could look up to
If you're gonna be there.. be there
If you're gonna stay.. stay tonight
Start livin' out with the old.. I'm on the up..
Must be the good life..
Come on get love
Come on and try (get treated)
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
(mmm, gonna feel it)
Come on get love,
Come on and try (get treated.. beat it)
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
(gonna feel it)
Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back on time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday and I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals are rushing in my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
Well, If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
Feel it now
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
Well, If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel
Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
Lately after dark
I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my head
There's nothing I can do
To keep from feeling like I blew
The only chance I had to make it better
The shadow on the wall
Is looking down from 10 feet tall
And I wonder what it sees
As I stumble through the streets
To never feel alone
It seemed written down in stone
But now it's all I can do
To try and forget her
40 hours
And counting
I could shut my eyes
And sleep here
Morning comes and goes
And I'm tangle in the throes
In the stillness of my room
And the bandage on my wound
My heart becomes a bird
She set free with just a word
And now I'm wishing
That I had never met her
40 hours
And counting
I could shut my eyes
And sleep here
People rushing by
Out the corner of my eye
A kaleidoscope of bloom
A mirror broke in two
A thousand little stars
And in a million little wars
Scattered out across the open desert
40 hours
And counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep here
(instrumental)
A world is set ablaze
By a never ending haze
And you're closer than a tear
I see you ever clear
The rushes in the veins
And there's nothing else to blame
But every minute, every hour,
Every second
40 hours
And counting
I shut my eyes and sleep here
Shut my eyes and sleep to dream
Lately after dark
I've been wandering thru the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my head
There's nothing I can do
To keep from feeling like I blew
He falls asleep against her door
She comes apart sometimes
I think of what a good thing it was before her
And how overrated it seemed
Sometime, I had enough of giving up on you
Not like we were before
Did enough, I couldn't lie to you
But you made it sound like I was
So goodbye
So goodbye
Take a walk down on the street
I try and come back down
I think of what a good thing it was before me
How it just, it disappeared
It seemed like it was in a dream
I've had enough of giving up on you
Not like we were before
Did enough, I couldn't lie to you
But you made it sound like I was
So goodbye
So goodbye
No way out
Like I could tear you apart
Nowhere to run
Well I can tell you it's not for you, for you
He falls asleep against her door
She comes apart sometimes
I think of what a good thing it was before her
And how overrated, overrated it seemed
I've had enough of giving up on you
Not like you were before
Did enough, I couldn't lie to you
But you made it sound like I was
So goodbye
So goodbye
Oh yea
No way out
I could tear you apart
An actress
Sooner the better for me
You should know by now
I'm not your friend
You're ravelled up
You take some time to come undone
You look so tired
I know your type
You storm out
And tear the walls,
The portraits down
It's what you wanted
It's how we are
Take it or leave it
Slow down slow down
I can stay awake for you
If you can stay awake for me
You're broken to break down
Slow down slow down
I'm not so sure
So wait and see
I wake up
Girlfriend I'm on your floor
You should know by now
I'm not so mad
It's go time
You're barely dressed
But fully on
Your painted eyes
You look so tired
I don't think I can trust love anymore
So....so....
I'm not so sure
Are you? Doesn't matter
Really
It's almost time
He was fully aware
He was crushed in the arms of a bear
What?
Turnabout
Look
What are you doing?
Well then, it's true
i'm not so sure what i was dreaming
about but i'm sure it was better
than this and i'll hope you suppose
that i'm alright (i'm thinking of hours
That... I...)
told everyone, you know everything
is real in here
and your madrigals and your silver rings
i still see a flash
from the time i opened my eyes too wide(...tonight)
i couldn't have asked you to stay
i'm already falling to pieces
from this and i'll hope you suppose
that i'm alright i'll stay here for hours
waiting up for you
(i told everyone, you) know everything
is real in here
and your madrigals and your silver rings
i still see a flash
We'll have our way
And I'm holding your hand
Thinking about the words to say
And I'm thinking about the hands you'll shake
The people that you'll meet
Along the way
Along your way
We are faltered after you
But you're holding on?
And we are walking after you
But you're feeling oh so wrong
We'll have our way with all of you
What is this world coming to?
And I am walking
Won't you stop talking
You talk too much
Oh New York City
had the craze you wanted
Now you're swimming in it
You're swimming in it
Here we are
The fireplace where you left
Isn't lit
And I am walking after you
Are you holding on?
And we are faltered after you
No, cause I feel what's in your blood
I would only call what's in you after all
But you're feeling oh so right
And I am stronger everyday for you.
And I am stronger everyday.
But we both know we feel above this
Are you hanging on?
And we both know we feel above this
But you're feeling oh so wrong
And I am faltered after you
Are you holding on, holding on
And we are walking and faltered after you
