Kartal is a district of Istanbul, Turkey located on the Asian side of the city, on the coast of the Marmara Sea between Maltepe and Pendik. The mayor is Altınok Öz (CHP). Despite being far from the city centre, Kartal is heavily populated now. (total population of 541,209) (2008 census). Total land area is 147,000 m² which includes some countryside areas inland. Her neighbours are Maltepe the west,, Sultanbeyli and Sancaktepe the north and Pendik the east. It was the neighbour of Gebze (1923–1987), Şile (1923–1987), Beykoz (1928–1987), Üsküdar (1923–1987), Ümraniye (1987–2009) and Kadıköy (1928–1992 and 2004–2009). It was a neighbour again with Kadıköy from the northwest due to Ferhatpaşa quarter passed from Maltepe to Samandıra in 2004. However, this neighbourhood was ended with Ataşehir's separation from Kadıköy and Samandıra's separation (joined to Sancaktepe) from Kartal in 2009.

The center of Kartal (meaning 'eagle' in Turkish) was a fishing village on the Marmara shore during the Byzantine Empire called Kartalimen or Kartalimin in Greek, and was founded at the beginning of the 6th century. In the 11th century the town was conquered by the ruler of the Seljuks, Suleyman Shah, and then in 1329 Kartal became part of the Ottoman Empire (However the Byzantines re-took this city in 1403 and held it for 17 years).
Cüneyt Arkın (born Fahrettin Cüreklibatır on September 7, 1937 in the village of Gökçeoğlu of Alpu district in Eskişehir, Turkey) is a Turkish film actor, director and producer. His name by birth is Fahrettin Cüreklibatur and his parents are descendants of a Crimean Tatar family.
He is not only a doctor of medicine, but also a renowned martial artist in seven different disciplines. Having starred in somewhere around 248 movies and also TV series, he is widely considered as one of the most prominent Turkish actors of all time. His movies shown abroad featured him as George Arkin. His films have ranged from well-received dramas to mockbusters, throughout his career.
His most notable movies are historical dramas, taking place during the first centuries of the Ottoman Empire and Anatolian Seljuks. Malkoçoğlu Cem Sultan and Battal Gaziare a few good example of these movies. While gaining success with such action-based films, he also took part in political films in the late 1970s, the most famous of those being The Adam Trilogy directed by Remzi Aydın Jöntürk.
Aziz Yıldırım (born 2 November 1952 in Ergani, Diyarbakır Province) is currently the 52nd chairman of the Turkish multi sport club Fenerbahçe. He is currently serving his fifth two-year term since coming to helm. He has a degree in civil engineering.
Yıldırım was a professional football player with Diyarbakırspor and Düzcespor. He retired from professional football at the age of 27 in 1979 and started a construction business. For two years, he acted as chairman at Anadolu Üsküdar football club during 1981–82 and 1982–83 seasons. He resumed his career in football administration in 1990 when he became Director of Football at Fenerbahçe in the 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons. Afterwards, he took up the post of chairman at Düzcespor between 1993–1995. He became Fenerbahçe's chairman in 1998 after Ali Şen's resignation – a position he still holds. During his reign, the professional football team had four Turkish League Championships. Under his leadership, significant changes have been made in the club's infrastructure: Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium was expanded to a capacity of 55,000 from 30,000. Another significant mark of his success was evident in the 2006–07 season when over 100,000 Fenerbahçe membership cards were sold. The stadium's modern outlook gave the city of Istanbul the right to host UEFA Cup championship in 2009. Moreover, the club's financial portfolio changed dramatically under his leadership. Before 1998, a significant portion of the club's revenues came from media deals. By building a modern stadium and utilizing the vast potential of the millions of Fenerbahçe fans, he decreased this percentage down to about 40%. Spanish daily tabloid AS wrote that his career resembled that of Florentino Perez.

Let's count the days til winter comes our way
We're all tired and ready to breathe
And there's a rumor that
There's a bitter cold chill in the air.
It's haunting every breath we take.
The hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.
It's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.
Let's think about all those nights on Luckie St.
We stayed up til 3 am, with all the gossip and the latest girls.
There's a bitter cold chill in the air.
It's haunting every breath we take.
The hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.
It's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried ah.
This winter is much like all the rest.
This season's changed since we've been away.
This winter is much like all the rest.
Cause it's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.
Get carried away.
I walk around, it's 10 past midnight here
And I'm movin' to the sound of people drownin' out their lives
This little voice that says "Hey, we should settle down,"
"But we never listen," we say to each other
"Just wait 'til they see me now
I'm, I'm feelin' so alive
Don't you wish it was like this every night?
The city never sleeps
And you and I, lets fly away this time and get on with our lives
But don't look down,
You'll never feel your feet touch the ground
If it's all the same
I'd rather never leave
It feels too good
To hear the sounds, see the sights on Maine St.
Cuz now I see millions
Of people
Swimming out their lives
And they all came from nowhere
They all say, "Just wait 'til they see me now
I'm, I'm feelin' so alive
Don't you wish it was like this every night?
The city never sleeps
And you and I, lets fly away this time and get on with our lives
But don't look down
You'll never feel your feet touch the...
(Instrumental)
Now I'm, I'm feeling so alive
Don't you wish it was like this every night?
The city never sleeps
And you and I, lets fly away this time and get on with our lives
But don't look down
You'll never feel your feet touch the ground
He softly told you everything
He never knew you didn't care
Break his heart again, smile and prepare
For all the words he screams
Give him a reason
Anything but silence or the truth
He'll hate you now
Remember how he held you for
All those lonely nights
You know you shared and remember
How you never cared about anything he said
Well now he's dead to you
So bury him instead
Word's out I'm not the man I used to be
You knew it all along
That I felt this way
I put in this song
Tear me apart for pouring out my heart
You know it wouldn't phase you in the least
I hate you now
Remember how I held you for
All those lonely nights
You know we shared and remember
How you never cared about anything I said
Now I'm dead to you
So bury me instead
So here's the one
(About every heart you stole)
You're so sure
(That you're not a thief at all)
Because I'm the one who's stealing you
But this ransom's overdue
And everything that's in me says that
I hate you now
Remember how I held you for
All those lonely nights
You know we shared and remember
How you never cared about anything I said
And now I'm dead to you
I see you all the time
I see you in a video
Running through my head
I hear that you're a fiend
You love and let nobody know where you go
Why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Turn around on the way out
And you will find
I needed you all the way
Now if you don't mind
I never needed anything
Anything but this tonight
I needed you to tell me what was wrong
Why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Turn around on the way out
And you will find
I needed you all the way
Now if you don't mind
This is just like everything
I told you he would say
Why wouldn't you just listen
So it wouldn't end up this way
Why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Turn around and you will find
I needed you all the way
Now if you don't mind
Why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Turn around and you will find
I needed you all the way

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
And I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
And I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
And I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we had to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all...
You're my wonderwall
So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all...
You're my wonderwall
So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all...
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
It's 2:45, the baby takes his first breath
The mother never knew he only had a few left
And the father gets a call in the middle of the night
His breath gets short and his chest gets tight
But he's sixteen and he's driving too fast
Takes a turn to the left, it would be his last
Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right
Nobody in the car would've died that night
But he's thirty-two and invincible
The cancer he had it was visceral
He never saw it coming, thought he had his whole life
Sick in the morning and he died in the night
We're all so, we're on the run
But we're aware, oh
Oh, we're wasted, no, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no, no
We're all wasted
He's seven years old, got his bat in his hand
He's looking for his father and he doesn't understand
'Cause dad's too busy, got some deals on the way
His son sits alone as the children play
And he's eighteen he couldn't wait to move out
His parents wonder what all the rush is about
They never bothered with his dreams, only thinking of theirs
Wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care
But he's thirty-two and invincible
With everything he is based on principle
He never had a truly happy moment in his life
He didn't want the kids and he didn't want his wife
We're wasted, no, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no, no
We're all wasted
Twenty-three now, got his life in his hands
He's looking all around and he doesn't understand
'Cause life's too busy, things get in the way
We all feel alone every single day
And at eighteen, couldn't wait to move out
It's been five years and now I'm starting to doubt
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
Looking up to some place that isn't there
When I'm thirty-two will I be miserable?
With everything around based on principle?
Will I have a clue? Oh, wouldn't it be nice
To never be alone in this wasted life?
We're wasted, no, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're wasted
We're wasted, no, no
I guess I gotta crawl before I can walk
I guess I gotta grow before we can talk
And I have the upper hand
I'm good at letting go but I'm getting better
You're never gonna know but you'll get a letter
I hope you understand
I never wanted it to go this far
Never thought it would be so hard
I never thought I would lose myself
But now I'm left with nothing else
Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
I guess you gotta lose before you can listen
I guess you gotta choose to see what you're missing
I am a better man
I'm good at letting go but I'm getting better
You're never gonna know but you'll get a letter
I hope you understand
I never wanted it to go this far
Never thought it would be so hard
I never thought I would lose myself
But now I'm left with nothing else
Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're predictable, cynical
I see it in your eyes
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
And I see what this does to you
I'm holding back like I've got something left to prove
You're so cliche
I can see it in your face
See it in myself
The rest is up to you
Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
Cause you're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're predictable, cynical
I see it in your eyes
You're so typical
You're so damn difficult
You're so typical
Hey, oh, this is another one
Honey, but it's not the same you say
How could I ask you?
Oh, c-c-come on let me ask you
Say, say it just once
Till there?s nothing left to be said
Give me all, give me all
How could ever ask of you?
And it's more than I can stand
So maybe tonight, see it for the first time
And it shows, yeah, it shows
Just give me tonight, see it for the first time
And it shows, yeah, it shows
So maybe this is asking
Too much of you
But I'm no mood this time
And I'm thinking 'bout making you mine
Oh, please just say this once
And there's nothing else to be said
And it's all, baby all I can think of when I'm with you
And it's more than I can stand
So maybe tonight, see it for the first time
And it shows, yeah, it shows
Just give me tonight, see it for the first time
And it shows, yeah it shows
Well, is this love?
Is it now? Is it now? Is this love?
Say it now, come on say it now
And it's more than I can stand
So maybe tonight, see it for the first time
And it shows, yeah, it shows
Just give me tonight, see it for the first time
Patience, child it will find you
Your deepest dreams will guide you
The moment that you're born
And all night my fear inside will come through
Haunting right behind you
Don't let it get that far
Somehow
Breathe a little deeper now
Cause this is who we are
When we look into their eyes
Don't fly so high
So high little bird
You'll get your wings clipped
We'll pick it up, pick it up
Now you've learned
Searching
The moment that defines you
Your deepest dreams remind you
Get out before you're gone
Now all that you hear is what surrounds you
Push it out, give it out
From around you
Never stop and you will find it all
[Chorus]
So we decided
We decided
We decide this now
To find out how we can
We survive we can survive
If we learn how to live our lives
Wake me up, I've been dreaming
It feels just like any other... day
I sit you down here goes nothing
And you're not gonna like what I say
Get out, oh just get out
Get up, get out, that's what you said
You drive me crazy
I can't believe that's what you did
Don't call me baby
I know I'm wrong, I knew all along that you'd find out
I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'd make right now
Wake me up, I've been dreaming
Cause I haven't heard from you in... days
Hazy now, this fog just follows me around
And it's only you that burns it away
So get out, oh just get out
Get up, get out, that's what you said
You drive me crazy
I can't believe that's what you did
Don't call me baby
I know I'm worng, I knew all along that you'd find out
I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'd make right now
I see your face every time I close my eyes
It's getting worse you say
It comes as no surprise
Why am I hell-bent on losing?
When I can't get you out of my head...
Get up, get out, that's what you said
You drive me crazy
I can't believe that's what you did
Don't call me baby
I know I'm wrong, I knew all along that you'd find out
I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'd make right now
Oh I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'd make right now
And all these stupid silly songs
Keep trying to catch your ear
I'm trying desperately
It's just so hard to persevere
And even if you listened
I never had much to say
Cause it's the same old song
I've written for the day
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl
All these minstrels through the ages
That is really all we are
Simply singing for the girl
That makes us try so very hard
To craft the perfect limerick
To wield unending woe
To write such silly songs
And the difference never know
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl
And I'll hold on to the dream
Of this beggar's plea and optimistic fantasy
Just hold the hand and drop the knee
You're facing love
You're embracing melody
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl
And carry on, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
Hey, hey, don?t pay no mind
We are the second, you?re minutes behind
So you say, yeah, I?m alright
You are the fortunate all the time
Yeah, you are the fortunate
I?ve been looking for a way out
Something that isn?t so cruel
Well, I?m a little tired, you see
Complacent and miserable
I think you?re missing out
I think you?re dumbing it down
You?re past the point of holding up to your words
There?s no getting it by us now
So if it?s okay by you
Hey, don't pay no mind
We are the second, you?re minutes behind
So you say, yeah, I?m alright
You are the fortunate all the time
So full of this adventure and feelings insecure
We're so easy, push the pin, fake the tense
And give us nothing more
And if it?s okay by you
Hey, don't pay no mind
We are the second, you?re minutes behind
So you say, yeah, I?m alright
You are the fortunate all the time
And if it?s the one thing that I?ve been sure of
Well it's okay, I know you?ve got the time
If it?s all one and the same thing
Then I?ve been waiting for the fallout with history
But it?s got on for so long, so long
That I don?t think you?ll ever be the same
Hey, hey, don't pay no mind
We are the second, you?re minutes behind
So you say, yeah, I?m alright
You are the fortunate all the time
Hey, hey, oh yeah, pay no mind
We are the second, you?re minutes behind
So you say, yeah, I?m alright
You are the fortunate all the time
Hey, hey, oh yeah, pay no mind
We are the second, you?re minutes behind
So you say, yeah, I?m alright
On a perfect day
Somewhat like today
We will find each other there
We will find each other there
And somewhat like the month we first met
And we can't forget the way I loved you
But I can't pretend how far we've gone
And we cannot mend what damage has been done
No, we cannot mend what damage is done now
But then we shall come home and become
The best ones we could have been
And oh, the best we could have been
She says I've seen it all
But nothing spoken
Pre-tense begins to fall
And words are broken
I know it's just better this way
I'll do my best but
I don't want to end up the same
As all the rest
We just wanna believe in something
To make them feel at home
We wanna believe in something
So they feel less alone
Will you be my answer now to everything?
Be my answer now to everything
She says we had it all
But now it's missing
Progress slowed to a crawl
But now we're listening
Some say it's just better this way
Just do your best but
I don't want to end up the same
Cause they
We just wanna believe in something
To make them feel at home
We wanna believe in something
So they feel less alone
Will you be my answer now to everything?
So I feel less alone
We'll bring them down
We'll bring these walls to the ground
Without a sound, we'll bring them down
Believe in something
So they feel less alone
We just wanna believe in something
To make them feel at home
We wanna believe in something
So they feel less alone
Will you be my answer now to everything?
So I feel less alone
It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.
They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can't erase the time.
The two had spent on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.
Oh, you know you really need to settle down,
Let it go.
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say...
Oh, you know you really need to settle down,
Let it go.
You know you really need to settle down,
No you really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies -
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.
Just say you left me like you could.
(Although you said you never would.)
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say you left me like you could.
(Although you said you never would.)
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down,
And let it go!
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.
You know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down,
And it's the same foregone conclusion
All the things hurt when I was young
It's the sample of delusion
Spit from everybody's tongue
And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be the one
Oh I have only just discovered who I am and where I'm coming from
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
And we can talk about solutions
Till we're red (or blue) in the face
And we can stare at our illusions
And just smile till the mirror breaks
And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be the one
Oh I have only just discovered who I am and what I have become
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
There's no accounting the days when you uncover what I see
And are you going away is where it's all in your mistake
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
And baby don't follow their lead
cause you never know
just how a story ends, or how the story goes
and you are so confused
and baby it's just like you
to say anything else
whenever you get this way
just getting up for the let down,
mmm here they come and their here to stay
just getting up for the let down
oh and im here to say that you're the star you wanna be
just open and look inside and you will see
some day you'll sing it out loud
one day this will make you proud

cause you never know
just how the story ends, or how the story goes
and you are so confused,

some day you'll sing it out loud
one day this will make you proud
whoahhh ohhh, i know
i know is never good enough
whoahhh ohhh I know
Simple words we never knew
The power behind's what they put us through
Now it's all begun, what it takes to make it real
We're standing on the edge of this
When our soul is gone, what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really make it feel
But the better days behind us now
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are
That keeps demanding more and more and more
And who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, out of rhythm without time
We hold these truth self evident, the lies we used to represent
Who we are because it was never meant to be
And all the songs we used to sing, they used to tell us everything
All about how it was never meant to be
But the better days behind us now
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are
It keeps demanding more and more and more
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time
Say the words, give it all the time you need
Let it out, oh just say anything
Say the words and make them count
Say them loud without a doubt
Give us truth and nothing more
Leave us wanting more and more
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming
Can you say that you'll save us?
I can't go on, out of rhythm with our timing
Can you say, you say, you'll save us?
I can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming
Can you say, that you'll save us
I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time
Face down; this is where it leads you - too far.
Buried covered now, you'll find peace - in the earth aground.
Stop now, there's no point in breathing - it's not allowed.
On the surface, how can you find - reason to move on?
Until then you can runaway.
Do you best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best;
I know you get what you get - you get what you deserve.
Hush now, yeah don't say a word - its out in the open,
And tell me how can you deal with all this wait?
Speak now, you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.
Until then you can runaway,
Do you best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get - until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get you - get what you deserve.
Speak now you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.
Until then you can runaway,
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get - until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best,
I know you get what you get and all you get what you,
You get what you get, you get what you,
Reaching out
Can you hear me
I said I'm reaching out
But no one's near me
And through all this I've been reaching out blindly
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
Well here goes nothing yeah I'm standing up
And I'll get nothing if it's not enough
But they won't say what they're holding back from us
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
[x2]
I'll tell you this is something that you'll never hear
They knew it then and they've been holding back for years
And if you're not getting answers ask better questions...
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
I feel the pastures growing greener
I feel the ways they they come all over me
I feel the pastures growing greener
I feel the ways their coming over me
And everything's all right
And everything's all right
I hear the others wondering where I've been
I hear my mother, she's worried sick and then
I hear the others wondering where I've been
I hear my mother, she's worried sick and then
She weathers me and holds me to my own
She weathers me and keeps me hanging on
I'll get through this will you
I'll get through this will you
I'll get through this will you
I'll get through this
In the southern the air will keep you warm
In the western the air is dry as a bone
In the southern the air will keep you warm
In the western the air is dry as a bone
And I've been wondering about that change
And I've been wondering about that change
I'll get through this will you
I'll get through this will you
I'll get through this will you
Here It Goes Again Put On That Deserving Tone,
And Don't Forget That This Was All Your Fault,
Its Breathing Down Your Neck You Know You've Got To Let This GO,
Your Such A Wreck And Now It Starts To Show.
Cos All You Can't Deny Is Held Inside,
And When We Go,
We Say Good Bye,
And Then We Run,
We run away.
From All We Can't Deny,
Is Just A Lie And When We Try To Just Get By,
We Just Cant Past Our Selves.
Cos Were you Are Is Where You'll Be,,
Always Wanting Everything
its all the same we cant ignore
And I can't unwind with you hanging 'round
And I feel just like a vine
Oh if you have to leave me here
Then I invite it
Cause I've been twisted in your words
I'm better off left alone
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps to your front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps and I can't...
... believe I was so niave
And my heart is racing
I can barely breathe
Oh if you have to take it here
Then I've decided
That I've been stepping in your words
I should've seen it all along
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps to your front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps and I'm gone
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps to your front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps...
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps to your front door
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
I can hear the ancients, calling out
They're praying for patience, shining down
But the light has faded, like the sun
And I'm persuaded that nothing now can be done
Can't even hear them now
Their light is glowing dim
And I've been covering, covering ground
Climbing barriers between us now
And we wait
Can't even see them now
The aqua swing again
And I've been covering, covering ground
Crossing barriers that still surround
And we wait
A thousand suns
We wait for them
The fallen ones
Will wake again
A thousand suns
We wait for them
The fallen ones
Will wake again
A thousand suns
We wait for them
The fallen ones
Will wake again
A thousand suns
We wait for them
The fallen ones
Will wake again
Put all emotions aside
No matter how hard you try
Take what is buried inside
You want it, you got it, [?]
Put all emotions aside
No matter how hard you try
Take what is buried inside
Lately I’ve felt so pathetic that it burns
I can’t sweat it cause I know I’m gonna work this out
Baby just sit back and forget about the world
And how they always doubt that we can make it worth our while
I hear all the words you never say
And you can always walk away
Cause I can see it in your vacant smile
We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
Oh dream dream dream
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
We can run away, yes together, find a home
Better weather, oh
We can just lay here for a while
We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried underneath this weight
I’m starting to believe this is what you hate
And nothing’s gonna work out the way it seems
But you’ll always be my American dream dream dream…
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
We got caught up in American
And American dreams
Taking back what’s lost
I'm a bit overwhelmed, some may call it uninspired
But what is there left to do when someone's so young and admired?
And what's the point of it all?
If it just goes to waste
If I'm nothing more than currents riding on top of the waves
So now I'm writing this song
Like I've got something to say
Well I've said it before; I'll say it again ‘till I'm blue in the face
And what's the point of it all?
To come apart at the seams
If I'm never gonna be around to witness the dawn of my dreams
We're not giving up
No we're not giving up
Do I have courage to say, what appears in my mind?
Or am I still censored by all that it means to comply?
So now I've found myself here, with this purpose and strength
To brandish these words, spoken at last, spoken at length
And now they're selling us a way out, a bitter pill
We can't afford the blood we've spilled
Hold on to what you will, we can't afford it
And they're still calling it a way out, a lonely road
We couldn't but we must've known
Oh no, we're bowing out
They're gonna miss us when we're not around
Put all emotion aside, no matter how hard you try
Take what is buried inside
You had it, you got it, goodbye
Put all emotion aside, no matter how hard you try
Take what is buried inside
You had it, you got it, goodbye
And now they're selling us a way out, a bitter pill
We can't afford the blood we've spilled
Hold on to what you will, we can't afford it
And they're still calling it a way out, a lonely road
We couldn't but we must've known
Oh no, we're bowing out
They're gonna miss us when we're not around
We can't afford the blood we've spilled
Sometimes we all get down
Looking for something profound
But it's never what it seems
Always something in between
Wishes and thoughts
Haves and have nots
Things could be worse
But they could be better
First things first
Always remember to
[Chorus]
Keep your head up
Don't let them slow you down
Cause they'll play you for a fool
While they're pushing you around
Just keep your head up
Don't let them pull you down
Cause you're getting what you want
With the answers that you've found
Sometimes we can't go back
To the place where we got off track
And it's never quite enough
Always stuck here thinking of
Hopes and regrets
Love and neglect
Things could be worse
But they could be better
First things first
[Chorus]
Keep your head up
Don't let them slow you down
Cause they'll play you for a fool
While they're pushing you around
Just keep your head up
Don't let them pull you down
Cause you're getting what you want
With the answers that you've found
So it goes
Ebb and flow
These seeds we sow
Will someday grow
[Chorus]
Just keep your head up
Don't let them slow you down
Cause they'll play you for a fool
While they're pushing you around
Just keep your head up (Keep your head up)
Don't let them pull you down
Cause you're getting what you want
With the answers that you found
Just keep your head up
Just keep your head up
Cause you're getting what you want
Let's get out
Let's get out of here
I'll go it alone if I have to, but I need you there
And I'm honest with nobody else
Whether or not I make it there is will itself
And I'm honest with only myself
How I can't afford to lose you now, not in this hell
But I'll stay with you
I'm a mess, a total wreck
A poor excuse without you near to keep me in check
So take me out, and take me anywhere
I'm out of touch with everything and I don't care
So I must be out of my mind
And all that I have to give to you is all my time
So I'll stay with you
We'll stay over and over
Sit up screaming at the break of dawn
Pull out your hair, biting your tongue
Its getting you nowhere
You're fed up, leaving at the first chance
Never look back, never a last glance
And you have no interest there
Well its been hard, I know
Its just the way things sometime go
All you have to do
Is learn to let it go
I have no worries
I'm in no hurry here
I've been through this before
And I have no fear
I have no worries
When things go blurry now
Its just the world spinning
Round
No time wasted, smile on your face
Gotta get out, out of this place
And I'll lend a helping hand
Cause we got it now, we got it good
We got the beat, but misunderstood
And they just don't understand
Its a long hard road
Its the art of letting go
Its the ride
Cause we're never gonna know
I have no worries
I'm in no hurry here
I've been through this before
And I have no fear
I have no worries
When things go blurry now
Its just the world spinning
Round
Things can be extraordinary if you try
Give them time to grow
Its a long hard road
Its ebb and flow
Its an art of the
Art of letting go
I have no worries
I'm in no hurry here
I've been through this before
And I have no fear
I have no worries
(I have no worries)
When things go blurry now
Its just the world spinning
Round
(I have no worries)
Its just the world spinning
I wrote a song so sing along
(You gotta push play to start)
And when it ends, play it again
(Make sure you know it by heart)
Call and repeat, don't miss a beat
(I know it sounds absurd)
It's nothing new, nothing to do
(That you haven't)
All the words, I've been saying
All the songs, I've been playing
So say to me, "Just keep dancing"
All they want is energy
Hey, you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey, you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo
Don't get me wrong, it's just a song
(However do I see)
When all your best is to the test
(Just keep living the dream)
This is for real, a record deal
(I'm trading money for art)
I had a plan to start a band
(But that was falling)
A part of me can't let go and
I don't see anything but
Disparity making me crazy
It's now or never, more than ever
Hey, you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey, you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo
I believe in what I can see
Just one more time
Just one more song
To keep it alive
Hey, you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey, you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo
Hey, you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey, you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo
You'll get your break, kid
And I've been thinking 'bout it all that time
Going over in my head
And it's all useless
Well, it's been years since I've seen home
There'll be plenty time when I'm dead
And it's all useless
There's a lot swimming 'round
Swimming 'round in my head
And it's all such a mess
There's a lot to be done
Now I lay me down to become
And it's all such a mess
So give up - this ain't what you dream of
We'll take it slow
And even if you're never home
Even if so
There's a lot swimming 'round
Swimming 'round in my head
And it's all such a mess
There's a lot to be done
Now I lay me down to become
A simple man and a mess
So give up - this ain't what you dream of
We'll take it slow
And even if you're never home
Even if so
I'll give up something else
And maybe you won't see
So give up - you're not the only one, son
But you're the lonely one
Son, it wasn't personal
Son, it wasn't personal
But I tried
Oh, I tried [x4]
So give up - this and what you dream of
We'll take it slow
And even if you're never home
Even if so
I'll give up something else
And maybe you won't see
So give up - you're not the only one, son
But you're the lonely one
Oh, you're the lonely one
(It's personal)
You are the lonely one
(So listen up)
You are the lonely one
(It's personal)
Yeah, you're the lonely one
She's just this girl right down the street
She's got my heart, my soul to keep
She's got my world turned upside down.
Tied up and now I guess it shows
Locked down in the straight and narrows
Maybe I'm an ordinary boy
But she had to notice me
I made it so obvious to see
Now she says she's going off to see the world!
[Chorus]
And if you go there, oh please take me with you!
If you go there there, oh please take me with you!
Cause I can never see what you imagine
No, I couldn't see that road
So if you go right now, please take me with you!
I have, oh so endlessly,
Built up all these fantasies
We turn this world upside down!
She said, if you got heart, you got me!
You're not so ordinary as you believe!
But she had to notice me
I made it so obvious to see
Now she says she's going off to see the world!
[Chorus]
And if you go there, oh please take me with you!
Saying if you go there, oh please take me with you!
Cause I could never see what you imagined
No, I couldn't see that road
So if you go right now, please take me with you!
[Chorus]
So, if you go there, oh please take me with you!
(Please take me with you!)
Saying if you go there, oh please take me with you!
(Please take me with you!)
Cause I could never see what you imagined
No, I couldn't see that road
This started back at the beginning
Where innocence was born
To hold it back seems only fitting
I am conscious of the storm
That's brewing inside
Yeah, it's coming in life
No where to run
No where to hide
Finally, at last
Rising from the depths
It's the only hope you have
And I hope you feel it now
Can you feel it yet?
Oh, ho, oh
This hearts still beating here
It's always on
Feel the pulse, feel the beat inside
Turn it up, turn up until its done
Feed the urge, feed the need
To insatiable degrees
A conduit
Vibrating circuit
Your energy, your chemistry
Is enough for both of us to see
Finally, at last
Rising from the depths
It's the only hope you have
And I hope you feel it now
Can you feel it yet?
Oh, ho, oh
This hearts still beating here
It's always on
Don't call it destiny
That's so defeating
This electricity
Flows through us all
It reverberates within us all
Can you feel it yet?
Oh, ho, oh
This hearts still beating here
It's always on
Don't call it destiny
That's so defeating
This electricity
I've been waiting for answers
I've been looking for a reason
So I could start all over again
He may say it, rewind it back from the end!
All I ever wanted to be is
Something real, something new [?] end
But I'm so down, disappointed
Cause waking up just to get down
Never gets better!
No, no, never gets better!
I know there's no second chances
But I'm still hoping there's exceptions
So I could start all over again
He may say it, rewind it back from the end!
All I ever wanted to be is
Something real, something new [?] end
But I'm so down, disappointed
Cause waking up just to get down
Never gets better,
No, I'll never get it better!
Oh, just to feel it again
Just pretend, I could go back to beginning!
All I ever wanted to be is
Something real, something new [?] end
But I'm so down, disappointed
Cause waking up just to get down
Never gets better,
Smooth like a rolling crystal ball
Heading for a sight line
Straight towards a fall
No one will get through
No one will get through at all
The night sky illuminates it all
Like a distant fire fight
Always orchestral
Time is coming soon
Just to pass by you
By you
And I will hide myself away
Save all of these people for another day
And I will hide myself away
Just to spite them all for another day
The moon comes down on me again
Soon this mumbling train now slowly will begin
Giving me this pain
This paralyzing pain again
The night sky illuminates it all
Like a distant fire fight
Always orchestral
Time is coming soon
Just to pass by you
Pass by you
And I will hide myself away
Save all of these people for another day
And I will hide myself away
Just to spite them all for another day
Smooth like a rolling crystal ball
Heading for a sight line
Straight towards a fall
No one will get through
No one will get through at all
And I will hide myself away
Save all of these people for another day
And I will hide myself away
Just to spite them all for another day
And I will hide myself away
much to the chagrin of everyone this day
And I am not much a friend this way
No, I'm not fit to wear that hat today
~Interlude~
Take the best
the best is all that I can give
and find a way
so again I fall
to me is me is nothing at all
but I rise again
fear the pain
it's pretty but it's oh so vein
and it shapes me
swear i'll find truth
in the best
the fall of time
even if I die
Tonight I will follow
I made my mind tonight
I will follow
I'll make this bath and last
good thing I died
and I
I'll be gone.
It's nothing else
carry over what you can
find a place
that I just thought of what you said (?)
it's much too soon
for all of them but not for you
and it shapes me
swear I'll find truth
in the best
the fall of time
even if I die
Tonight I will follow
I made my mind tonight
I will follow
I'll make this bath at last
good thing I died
and I
Well it's that time
It's that time again
Well it's all coming back around
There she sees me
Oh my god, this is who I've been
And I'm branding each day
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
(Go, go)
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Immediately we find out then
That I can be blamed for this
Well then you just figured out today
And you're so sweet, you say.
Go now and get your own life and live it your way
And I hear you say.
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
(Go, go)
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Hey hey
Whoaaaa
Hey, hey, hey
Well and if we find another then
We will get ours
And if we find another then
We will get ours
She's picking up her clothes
She's off and she's running
She says to me
'Go on and lose it'
I think she means well but
Man I can't tell as she says to me
'Go on and lose it all'
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it all
Your selfish ways have taken their toll
I'm on my knees, and you lost control!
You're saying this, for my own good
My benefit lacks what you said it would!
[Chorus]
Your point is made
And now I'm left with
Nothing but shame!
And if that is what your sick mind wants to see,
Then I've had it with everything
While I'm drowning in your sympathy!
This conversation, your bleeding heart,
Your actions that show why we're set apart!
Bleeding out (Bleeding out)
Filled with doubt (Filled with doubt)
No one knows this fear that I'm left with now!
(No one know this fear that I'm left with now)
[Chorus]
Your point is made
Nothing but shame!
And if that is what your kind cause empathy
I'm defending my sanity
And if that is what your sick mind wants to see
Then I've had it with everything
While I'm drowning in your sympathy!
[Chorus]
Your point is made
And now I'm left with
Nothing but pain
And if that is what your kind calls empathy
I'm defending my sanity!
And if that is what you sick mind wants to see
Then I've had it with everything
While I'm drowning in your sympathy!
Yeah, I'm drowning in your sympathy!
Now you're seeing all your bridges burned
We're all waiting for it to be your turn
With your fingers and your wires crossed
I feel the pastures,
Growing greener
I feel the waves,
They come all over me
I feel the pastures.
Growing Greener
I feel the waves,
They're coming over me
and everythings alright
Yeah everythings alright
I hear the others
Wondering where I've been,
I hear my mother,
She's worried sick again
I hear the others
Wondering where I've been,
I hear my mother,
She's worried sick again
She whethers me
and holds me to my own,
She whethers me and keeps me hanging on,
But I'll get through this,Will you?
But I'll get through this,Will you?
But I'll get through this,Will you?
I'll get through this...
In the southern,
The air will keep you warm
In the western,
The air is dry as a bone
In the southern,
The air will keep you warm
In the western,
The air is dry as a bone
And I've been wondering about that change...
And I,I...I've been wondering 'bout that change...
But I'll get through this, Will you?
But I'll get through this, Will you?
But I'll get through this, Will you?
Write this down
Remember every word
You're not the things they told you way back then
You're so much more than ideas in your head
So bury them
And keep them so they can return when you're alone
And so that you can fight them in the end
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
It's time for you to know the truth
And cast your cares away
Write this down
Remember every word
You're not the things they told you way back then
You're so much more than ideas in your head
So bury them
And keep them so they can return when you're alone
And so that you can fight them in the end
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
It's time for you to know the truth
And cast your cares away
And i'm so sorry
It took too long to let you know that
It's alright, and it's ok
Cause they mean nothing anyway
Well soon you'll say that you're so alone
Well loneliness is all we get
Get used to it
Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
It's time for you to know the truth
And cast your cares away
And i'm so sorry
It took too long to let you know that
It's alright, and it's ok
We've lost our heading
We have lost our way
Now fear is spreading
We fall and pray
We're getting closer
To the end
Head spinning faster, faster
When our worlds collide
There is nowhere for us to hide
Yeah we live and die
On this universal time
No more debating
Much to our dismay
The world is fading
Into decay
We're getting closer
To the end
It's spinning faster, faster
When our worlds collide
There is nowhere for us to hide
Yeah we live and die
On this universal time
We're treading water, we're getting further,
We're heading undone, upsetting all out [?]
When our worlds collide
There is nowhere for us to hide
Yeah we live and die
On this universal time
I'd like to show you what I'm made of
I'd like to show you a thing or two
Cause I got a few friends
I got a good nerve to fight
And we know just what it feels like, yeah
What it feels like to loose
We won't give up, we won't give in
We won't keep anything again
We're on our own, got the feeling shaft
We can't back anything resist
We never wanted it to be like this
Wanted it to be like this
Just keep crushing to the pieces that
Can we disconnect
They wanna bury you in secrets
They wanna tell you what you should do
And they got a million excuses
But we know what it means to loose
And we won't give up, we won't give in
We won't keep anything again
We're on our own, got the feeling shaft
We can't back anything resist
We never wanted it to be like this
Wanted it to be like this
Just keep crushing to the pieces that
Can we disconnect
From a wall that will pull us down [?]
As long as we're still standing
We're gonna hold our ground
We won't give up, we won't give in
We won't keep anything again
We're on our own, got the feeling shaft
We can't back anything resist
We never wanted it to be like this
Wanted it to be like this
Just keep crushing to the pieces that
Can we disconnect
From a wall that will pull us down [?]
Can we disconnect
We're gonna hold our ground
I've been, wondering how
It's been years, oh yes three years now
Since I have found, what I'm looking for
Since I have found, what I was before
Look at me now, I'm screaming
I'm crying out while I'm leaving
From guilted ambitions [?]
Oh I have the best of intentions
And now I can't stop shaking
Because my will is breaking
Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason
To get me out of this place
Better off now in the worst ways
Fallen, to pieces, maybe it's just what I needed
To get out of my own way
Better off now than the first place
I've been, walking around,
With my head stuck up in the clouds
So sick and tired of being
So sick and tired of this feeling
Look at me now, I'm screaming
I'm crying out while I'm dreaming
I walk the ambitions [?]
But I have the best of intentions
And now I can't stop shaking
Because my will is breaking
Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason
To get me out of this place
Better off now in the worst ways
Fallen, to pieces, maybe it's just what I needed
To get out of my own way
Better off now than the first place
If there's a rising in the fall
Then why do I carry on
I just can't seem to recall
What I intended all along
Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason
To get me out of this place
Better off now in the worst ways
Fallen, to pieces, still I can't find the reason
To get me out of this place
Better off now in the worst ways
Fallen, to pieces, maybe it's just what I needed
To get out of my own way
Better off now than the first place
Better off now in the worst ways
Take the best
The best is all that i can give
And find a way so can i fall
To me it means nothing at all
But I rise again
Fear the pain
It's greedy but it's oh so vain
And it shapes me
Swear if i'm true
And the best, the goal of time
Even if I die
Tonight i will follow
I've made my mind
And I, I will follow
I'm with this bet
That lies, good thing i've done
And I, I become
There's nothing else
Carry all that what you can
Find a face
I'm just drunk with what you said
And this lies, too soon
For all of them but not for you
And it shapes me
Swear if i'm true
And the best, the goal of time
Even if I die
Tonight i will follow
I've made my mind
And I, I will follow
I'm with this bet
That lies, good thing i've done
Is it me or is it all of us?
Are we dull or glorious?
Am i on the way down
Or is this the same thing twice?
Oh, this feels so nice
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby, is better when you...
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby, is better this way
Oh oh, baby, its better this way
Well, is this real or is this insanity?
Or is fate or is it clarity?
Am i on the way down
Or is this the same thing twice?
Oh, this feels so nice
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better when you...
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better this way
We can say this and even out
We're waiting on a ride home
If you could make me feel at home,
Maybe we can go there, can we go there?
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better when you...
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better this way
One, two, three, four
I see you all the time
I see you in a video
Running through my head
I hear that you're a fiend
You love and let nobody know where you go
Why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Turn around on the way out
And you will find
I needed you all the way
Now, if you don't mind
I never needed anything
Anything but this tonight
I needed you to tell me
What was wrong
Why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Then turn around on the way out
And you will find
I needed you all the way
Now, if you don't mind
But this is just like everything
I told you he would say
But why wouldn't you just listen?
So it wouldn't end up this way
It wouldn't end up this way
Now, why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
Turn around and you will find
I needed you all the way
Now, if you don't mind
Now, say why didn't you come back to me?
I'll give you whatever you want
And turn around and you will find
I needed you all the way
Now, if you don't mind
Picking up the pieces (Picking up the pieces)
To put them back together
Staring at the faces (Staring at the faces)
That hope for something better
Wondering if I'll ever be the same
Wondering if I'll ever feel good again
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
Oh, I'm still free
You haven't got the best of me
Holding on to reason
But caught up in the moment
With nothing to belive in
Cause everyone is broken
Nothing will ever be the same
No, nothing will ever feel good again
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
You haven't got the best of me
Now you're seeing all your bridges burned
We're all waiting for it to be your turn
With your fingers and your wires crossed
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost
Counting down the names of the lives you've cost... oh
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
Oh, I'm still free
You haven't got the best of me (the best of me)
Yeah, I'm still standing, holding on
Stripped of all these chains you've put on
Cause I'm still young
Oh, I'm still free
I hear you calling out my name
All of the elements will fade
Never before has love looked safe
Never again will it look the same
But then we fall back now to this empty house
There the wars will rage
And if you leave me now in this empty house
Baby, it's okay
Oh, and it's only you, yeah, it's only you
It's only you and me
Oh, and it's only you, yeah, it's only you
It's only you and me, yeah
And I feel you crawling out my veins
Leaving the walls inside with flames
Burning the emptiness I've saved
Until lonely you remain
But then my lungs collapse and you pull me out
Forever I've been changed
Honey, you can take me now 'til it all runs out
Baby, it's okay
Oh, but there's only you, yeah, it's only you
It's only you I see
Girl, if it's only you, yeah, it's only you
It's only you and me, yeah
Can you feel it now? I've weighed it all out
Here and now my world turns inside out
And I swear I, I hear you calling
I hear you calling out my name
Only you, yeah, it's only you
It's only you I see
Girl, if it's only you, yeah it's only you
It's only you and me, yeah
It's only you, yeah, it's only you
It's only you I see
It's only you, yeah, it's only you
I'm out of faith, I'm in retrograde
A dizzy pattern in a cheap parade
And I'm losing touch but I'm, I'm not ashamed
Of what I say or how nice I play
I'm a Trojan horse made of paper mache
What has been ever comes 'round again
And I'm under a rain, I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed but I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
I'm out of place, I'm a different state
A little scattered by a bitter fate
And I'm losing touch but I'm, I'm not afraid
I'll be okay just in a different way
I have no remorse, I have no more shame
Oh, nothing ever ends before it begins
'Cause I'm under a rain, I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed but I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
Well, I'll be going 'round and 'round
This cycle won't slow down
I'm looking for the center of this life I've found
What has been ever comes 'round again?
'Cause I'm under a rain, I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed but I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
And I'm under a rain, I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed, I've done my best
Let me reintroduce myself
As a man with a cause
I’ve had a lot of time to think
And look at who we are
And I’ve got nothing left to say
But we’ve got to carry on
And I’ve got so much left to do
But I’ll start with this song
Why do they lie?
Why can’t you see?
Get up everybody
Stand up with me
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Stand up with me!
Let’s Go!
Take the world with me
You’ve got something on your mind
But you get in your way
Don’t sell out tomorrow,
You better not change today
All we have is who we are
And all we know is pretending
You gotta think of something real
Say, the life we're spending
Why do they lie?
Why can’t you see?
Get up everybody
Stand up with me
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Stand up with me!
Let’s Go!
Take the world with me
So if you’ve got a torch to carry
Hold it high!
Take the world with me
Let it burn, let it burn, let it light up the sky!
Stand up! Yeah, let’s go
Stand up! You’ve gotta let them know
Stand up! You’ve gotta make them see
Get up people! Stand up with me!
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming!
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Stand up with me!
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming!
Let’s Go! Everybody!
C’mon everybody, stand up with me!
So let’s go! Take the world with me!
Well I would love to make you mine
But that's not the sign you're giving me
Go ahead, count me confused.
See I just never know the difference
In between you and what you want
Oh I am just so unenthused
I could get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
How I am just another lesson in love
So let me down, slow
Oh I am never at a loss
But how could you say you love me?
When those words are over used
But you just go and leave me hanging
Much like you always used to do
Oh I could use that point of view
I could get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
How I am just another lesson in love
So let me down
I could get over you right now
But you just won't sell me out
How I am just another lesson in love
So let me down
Whip your best so it hurts
You keep tripping over your words
And you only get so far
What you say, it doesn't matter
It's a lie, so don't bother
But you have to let me know
I could get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
How I am just another lesson in love
So let me down
I could get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
How I am just another lesson in love
