The NC-4 was a Curtiss NC flying boat which was designed by Glenn Curtiss and his team, and manufactured by Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. In May 1919, the NC-4 became the first aircraft to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, starting in the United States and making the crossing as far as Lisbon, Portugal, in 19 days. This included time for numerous repairs and for crewmen's rest, with stops along the way in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and twice in the Azores Islands. Then its flight from the Azores to Lisbon completed the first transatlantic flight between North America and Europe, and two more flights from Lisbon to northeastern Spain to Plymouth, England, completed the first flight between North America and Great Britain.
The accomplishment of the naval aviators of the NC-4 was somewhat eclipsed in minds of the public by the first nonstop transatlantic flight, which took 15 hours and 57 min and was made by the Royal Air Force pilots John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown, two weeks later.
Did I ever tell you I'm better to have known you?
I don't want to leave you with the shadow of a doubt
Did I ever give you the strength you've given me?
And how can I begin to make each moment mean the most so you will see
I never loved you more then I do today
Sometimes life just seems to get in the way
It's been too long
I want to sit down and write for you a perfect love song
I want to shout it out in a silent crowd
I want to move you in a million ways
I said to you everyday did I ever tell you I love you that way
And did I ever tell you I'm better to have known you
I don't want to change you cause I proud of who you are
And should you ever question the pain we are going through
What I need to mention is that life just isn't living without you
You know that I want you more than anything
Sometimes I just forget to say what I mean
It's been too long
I want to sit down and write for you a perfect love song
I want to shout it out in a silent crowd
I want to move you in a million ways
I said to you everyday did I ever tell you I love you that way
I never loved you more than I do today
Sometimes its crazy life just gets in the way
It's been too long
I want to sit down and write for you a perfect love song
I want to shout it out in a silent crowd
I want to move you in a million ways
I said to you everyday did I ever tell you I love you that way
It's been too long
I want to sit down and write for you a perfect love song
I want to shout it out in a silent crowd
I want to move you in a million ways
I said to you everyday did I ever tell you I love you
You live with a halo 'round your head.
This time you're leaving
This place where the walls are painted red.
Freedom is what you need.
But if the world should ever fall apart around you
And if you're lost and barely breathing I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
When you're out there on your own.
Dark clouds, they surround you in the sky.
Rain falls when you're sleeping.
When you're past the point of no return,
I will take away the hurt.
And if the world should ever fall apart around you
And if you're lost and barely breathing I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
When you're out there...
And I will wait
However long it takes
Until you realize what you have been searching for
Was right here all along.
When you've lost the only light you had to guide you
And you're cold and barely breathing, I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known...
And if the world should ever fall apart around you
And if you're lost and barely breathing I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I've ever known
oooooo [repeat 2x]

[Verse 1]
Love i see forever in your eyes
I can see heaven in your smile
And when i hold you close

Because deep in my soul i know
Girl..
That you are the only light i see
Your love means everything to me
I know that we will never part
Because you'll always be near
Here in my heart ...
[Chorus]
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesnt hang in the night
And the tides wont change
Seasons rearanged
When the world is through
I will still love you
[ Oh yehh still love you baby ]
[Verse 2]
N girl your like an angel from above
Sent here to shower me with your love
Hold me beneath your wings
Tell me all of those things
All the hopes and the dreams
We can share 'cause
Ill be your shelter from the storm
ill be the fire that keeps you warm
Ill be you light in the dark 'cause
You'll always be here in my heart
O girll ...
[Chorus]
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesnt hang in the night
And the tides wont change
Seasons rearanged
When the world is through
I will still love you
If anything could last forever
Its what i feel for you
You touch ma heart in ways
That words could never say
Thats why ill always love you...
[Chorus 2x]
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesnt hang in the night
And the tides wont change
Seasons rearanged
When the world is through
I will still love you
Yes i will
Love you still baby
Girl beleive
Your all i need
I get this feeling that Im over my head,
I guess I'm over my head again,
And I keep thinking that I'll get through this mess,
And I'll find happiness and then,
I'll have everything I wanted,
But what if all I wanted,
Doesn't turn out being what I, I want it to be,
Chorus:
Alone alone,
I'm better off alone,
Than sitting around waiting for life to happen,
It's heaven compared to what I had,
Solo we go,no need to know who's in control,
No longer will I be trapped in you,
Being alone, it ain't so bad.
I get this feeling that I'm falling behind,
Yes I'm falling behind, it's true,
And I'd rather be here at the back of the line,
Than ahead of the times with you,
If you say I'm good for nothing,
At least I'm good for one thing,
And to someone that means something, someday soon
Chorus:
Alone alone,
I'm better off alone,
Than sitting around waiting for life to happen,
It's heaven compared to what I had,
Solo we go, no need to know who's in control no longer will I be trapped in you,
Being alone, it ain't so bad.
Being without you is just what I need,
'Cause I started feeling, like I can breathe,
Let me be, alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone,
(i just wanna be...),
alone alone alone alone alone alone alone alone
Chorus:
Alone alone,
I'm better off alone,
Than sitting around waiting for life to happen,
It's heaven compared to what I had,
Solo we go,no need to know who's in control,
No longer will I be trapped in you,
Being alone, it ain't so bad.
Alone alone alooooone alone alone aloooone alone alone aloooone alone alooooone
Just have a little patience
I'm still hurting from a love I lost
I'm feeling your frustration
Any minute all the pain will stop.
Just hold me close inside your arms tonight
Don't be too hard on my emotions.
[Chorus:]
'Cause I
Need time
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Just try and have a little patience.
I really wanna start over again
I know you wanna be my salvation
The one that I can always depend.
I'll try to be strong
Believe me I'm trying to move on
It's complicated but understand me.
[Chorus]
'Cause the scars run so deep
It's been hard but I have to believe
Just have a little patience [x2]
[Chorus]
Have a little patience
My heart is numb, has no feeling
So while I'm still healing
Stop wait a minute cause I didn't say that
Your putting words in my mouth and I really hate that
When did you discover you could read my mind
When I don't even know what I'm feeling inside
Staring in your eyes do I really see you
Maybe I'm blinded by the things I've been through
Looking for the answers but we don't have any
Questions well I got them and there's just so many
Tearing me apart cause there's so much to lose
Where do we go, where have we gone
Can I get past all the doubts running through my head are you the one
Will we survive, forever so long,
And tell me are we are we just, temporary
We're so deep in it that it's hard to see it
And if there's a bigger picture tell me where do we fit
Cause the lines of our lives have finally crossed
And we can't go back cause history is lost
And the futures' cloudy as the skies overhead
Where do we go, where have we gone
Can I get past all the doubts running through my head are you the one
Will we survive, forever so long?
Well tell me are we are we only just, temporary
And baby I'm still fighting all the things I've been denying
It's so hard to figure out
Are we loving, leaving, losing, who we are
And if we've come this far
Where do we go, where have we gone (where have we have gone)
Can I get past all the doubts running through my head are you the one
Will we survive(will we survive), forever so long (forever so long)
Well tell me are we are we only just, temporary
I don't wanna be the one to look back and regret the things I've done no
I don't wanna be the one who's standing here waiting for the air to clear
You’re better than all the gold
This is bigger
This is bigger than the mountains in the north of Spain
You’re sweeter than all the wild dogs of Greece
I’m a Scandinavian winter
I’m cold, I make us freeze
Do you wanna burn marks in me?
Do you want others to see what we had?
The good times we shared, were they so bad?
Follow me into the white light
Before it turns to the red light
I want you, I want you there beside me
Everything suddenly crashed down
When you told me you only wanna be a friend of mine
I can change
I’m so hot I can melt down this ice block between us
You’re better than all the alcohol
You’re much more beautiful than the sad life I used to live
This is bigger
This is bigger than landing on the moon and return safely to earth
Do you wanna find heaven with me
Can you help me get released from my own little hell
Stick a knife in me, stick a knife in yourself
Come, let’s go
Follow me into the white light
Before it turns to the red light
I want you, I want you there beside me
In 400 miles, we should reach paradise
I’m sorry baby, this might be hell, it’s cold as ice
This is hell
How can one telephone call completely change your life?
Where was I when you needed me the most?
I was busy from recovering myself
But I love you, but I love you, How I love you
I wanna meet you where the rainbow ends
But the way is all too long
Before I even get there, you'll be gone
I keep dreaming about this empty room
Oh loneliness, oh loneliness
It is killing me
Whatever happens I'll love you
Whatever happens I'll love you
Here is so quiet I should move from here
There must be gold to dig some place else
How do you go on when your lover's gone?
You said running away will ease the pain
Far away till your head is clear
Whatever happens I'll love you
Whatever happens I'll love you
Don't fear the darkness, I'm with you
I never look back, that's wasted time
Wasted mind is wasted time
I never look back, I leave things behind
You waste my time, you waste my time
I'm responsible for everything
But I don't regret anything
I'm to hasty, I can't do things right
I wanna make it happen right now so I stumble
I run so fast so I can catch up time to get a hold on you
I wanna see you
I get my kicks of bugging you
And I won't stop until I see you through
Been caught doing some stupid things
I did them for us, who could care less than you
I never saw you through
I get my kicks of bugging you
And I won't stop until I see you through
Been caught doing some stupid things
I did them for us, who could care less than you
I get my kicks of bugging you
And I won't stop until I see you through
Been caught doing some stupid things
I did them for us, who could care less than you
This rock, I can’t move
And the stones I try to throw are too heavy for me
Do you remember the troubled times?
You wanted it doubled, ´cause you were troubled, I made it double
This soft, white sand
I walk upon
Reminds me of when I accidentally pushed you
The truth is jealousy led to hating you, and hate led to pushing
And pushing made me realize how much I loved you
Blow, blow away wind
Tears from my wet skin
Ocean, take me away from this dreadful summers day
Don’t salt my wounds while I’m trying to repair
Go away, dreadful summer’s day
Go away
Bad, bad day
We were so young
We got burnt in the sun
Our wings melt away
We crashed in the sea
I told no one, how slippery you were
You were unpredictable
Didn’t get you at all…
You bang your head against the wall
You said I made you feel small
You’re a psychopath I’ve realized after all
Blow, blow away wind
Tears from my wet skin
Ocean, take me away from this dreadful summers day
Don’t salt my wounds while I’m trying to repair
Go away, dreadful summer’s day
Go away
There was this guy at a party who was reading from his poetry
While I was crying – It’s enough, this is no place for me
On my way out I couldn’t find my jacket
I got mad so I stole a bunch of cigarette packets
Out in the city night, I was left alone
Went to a club where this new, young band tried hard to rock ‘n’ roll
I punched the singer in the face
Said – You must be the brother to a bad poet whose girlfriend I fucked at a party an hour ago
I am evil, I am bad
I’m the biggest liar, I make people sad
Who could think that I would grow so much hate
I was never wanted, mother, now it’s too late
Early in the morning I left an after party
Feeling so happy ´cause I threw up on the arty farty fucker who’d been giving me whiskey all night
I’m a coward so I ran from the fight
Believe me or not, I ran into the poet
I asked for a cigarette though I knew that he had none left
Said – I wanna kill you
´cause you bug me, I wanna kill you
I hate your poems, I hate your life style, I hate your arty friends, I hate your meaningless life
I wanna kill you
´cause you bug me, I wanna kill you
I said…
I am evil, I am bad
I’m the biggest liar, I make people sad
Who could think that I would grow so much hate
I shiver like a child
I see my life pass before my eyes
I'm crying blood
I shout out loud
I'm just a man among the crowd
I'll cut my hair, I'll find a job
I'll do anything to conceal my scrubs
But I can't believe it, it isn't me
I don't know who I'm trying to be
Turn 27, Rock 'n' roll heaven
24-7, Rock 'n' roll heaven
I don't wanna do these grown up things
I'll point my finger at queens and kings
I wanna play dumb
I wanna be a fool
Don't wanna have to keep my cool
Turn 27, Rock 'n' roll heaven
24-7, Rock 'n' roll heaven
My love is on the other side
Sweet angels lift me high into the sky
I've never been so close to the sun
Clouds are saving me
I enter the door
it's free
Turn 27, Rock 'n' roll heaven
24-7, Rock 'n' roll heaven
Turn 27, Rock 'n' roll heaven
24-7, Rock 'n' roll heaven
It's rock n roll
You are my heroes you are my friends
I come to see you once again
I'm going cold I'm going blind
I got stiff legs and a forced smile
I feel old, I wanna lay down and die
I got lines around my eyes
My back’s crooked, my body is aching, I can’t fake it
Once I was young, my life had just begun
But very soon, my heart broke in two
I was introduced to love
A black love I’ll never get rid of
You’re still in blood
Got damn you teenage love, a, a, a
What was I thinking of, a, a, a
Got damn you teenage love
You’re the one who got me on the run
26, I feel like 38
I can’t wait until I’ll grow so much hate I can’t stand upon my feet
Already bitter and incomplete
27, I feel like 39
It’s all this wine, that keeps me up all night
I got dark lines around my eyes
My life’s like the worst hung over
I’m getting older
I blame my teenage love, a, a, a
What was she thinking of, a, a, a
I blame my teenage love
It’s her fault I turned bald, I feel anxious and cold
Got damn you teenage love, a, a, a
What was I thinking of, a, a, a
Got damn you teenage love
You’re the one who got me on the run
Got damn you teenage love, a, a, a
I jumped on a train last night
It took me nowhere
I'm on my way back home again
I jumped the edge last night
Tried to kill myself
But I changed my mind yeah
Oh Yeah
People say that I'm OK
But I don't care of what they say
People say that it's alright
If I just fade into the light
I kill time one day
Cause I am a mess
I can't change my mind yeah
I can't change my mind
I can't change my mind
I can't change my mind
I can't change my mind
I was caught by the fuzz last night
They hit me so hard so I hit them back and
Everything went black and…
(Everything went black and…)
I'm on the run agaaaaain…
Again... Again.... Again Again
I jumped on a train last night
It took me nowhere
I'm on my way back home again
I jumped the edge last night
Tried to kill myself
But I changed my mind yeah
(I can't change my mind)
Banging the tambourine
It gives me self-esteem
The crowd screams and shout
They just dance till they break their bones
Oh God, we can play
We turn nights into days
Girls, Chicks, Ladies, Yeah!
We're in a band
Oh, I hear smashing drums and beautiful distortion
Give me sex, Give me drugs, Give me Rock 'n' Roll
I wanna be adored
Just give me some more
1, 2, 3, 4
Fill the streets tonight with love and neon lights
We sleep with one another, we're young so we don't bother
We live like every day is the last day
We're so wrong, we're so gone, we're only 16
We make guitars cry
We play them till they die
Girls, Chicks, Ladies, Yeah!
We can make you fly!
You know you could be right
'Bout this everlasting fight
Against the time and all the things you like
Just give me that beat
Move your feet!
1, 2, 3, 4
Fill the streets tonight with love and neon lights
We sleep with one another, we're young so we don't bother
Fill the streets tonight with love and neon lights
Heartbeat, Heartbeat
Put me into sleep
Bloodrush, Bloodrush
Through my vains
Brain, Brain
You make me think of them again
Barstool, Barstool
You make a fool of me
Girls, noise,
Diamonds and pearls
Drink, Drink,
I drink to keep my cool
Tv screen, Tv screen
Take me away from this
Pain, Pain
Cause everything is all about the
Same, Same
And that makes me think of them again
Motorway, Motorway
You didn't want my friends to stay
Pay, Pay
I got time on my mind
Got to hurry up, got to get things done
I am broke, I got no job
All this time is getting me down
I don’t know what to do with my life
Guess I never will find out
All this time I’ve been waiting for someone to help me with all my doubts
I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
I’m a parasite, I’m a creep
I get nothing done when the TV is on…
I don’t know what to do with my life
Guess I never will find out
All this time I’ve been waiting for someone to help me with all my doubts
I'll drink until all my dreams are fulfilled
It's because I don't care
I don't share anything
Anymore!
I'll puke until somebody gets me thrilled
I know you think I care for you like no one do
That's a lie, I'll rather die
I'll fight until somebody hits me down
I don't mind the taste of blood, fast beating heart
Go ahead, Just hit me down
Ahhhhhhhh
There is no solution so I'll
drink until all my dreams are fulfilled
It's because I don't care
I don't share anything
Anymore!
I'll puke until somebody gets me thrilled
It's because I don't care
I don't share anything
The games, the games we play
I quit
‘Cause I’m weak, I’m all too weak
Like an old man waiting for the right time to die
I was hooked on a beat
In my mind on repeat
I was singing a melody
Don’t know where I’ve got it from
Then I thought about you
I found your heart on the floor
Beating like never before
Found out your heartbeat matched mine
We’re fragile like a baby’s spine
Together we turn water into wine
Wait, I can’t wait for a lifetime
‘Cause I’m desperate
I want love
Drown me in love baby
Drown me in love baby
Suddenly you gave yourself to me then
I was hooked on a beat
In my mind on repeat
I was singing a melody
Don’t know where I’ve got it from
Then I thought about you
I found your heart on the floor
Beating like never before
Found out your heartbeat matched mine
We’re fragile like a baby’s spine
You can be mine!
Oh, wo, o, o
I stuck my head in the sand
Wanted to reach the promised land
And then I jumped from a tree
As I always do in my dreams
15 broken bones later
I’m at the hospital
Trying to figure out
What the hell I’m up to now
And who am I?
Guess what happened me today
Girls looked at me and said: Hey
But they wont do that anymore
They didn't mean that I'm for sure
Today I got help from my friends
They carried me home and tought me sense
I don't know how to get along
Cause I lean upon everybody's backs and try to carry on
They wont help me anymore
They didn't mean that I'm for sure
They wont help me anymore
They didn't mean that I'm for sure
What have I done in my life
I havn't tasted fame nor I havn't had a wife
But I don't care, no not anymore
I can't care, no not anymore
But I don't care, no not anymore
You woke me up from a dream so real
Now I’m dry and exhausted, but I’ll try to retell it
I was leaving the city for a calm place so pretty
No darkness and streetlights, only eternal sunshine
Dancing with you on wide open fields
No time catching up on us, no worries backstabbing us
Your hands were so warm, so adorably neat
I blushed every time I looked you in the eyes
We sailed on clouds in the afternoon sky
Telling each other, our love will never die
We ate fruits from a tree
Tasted wonderfully sweet
The waves in the sea made a sound so beautifully discreet
There is a future after all we have been through
We shall recall this dream
In your eyes I am awful
Whatever happened to your head?
You can not reach me
Cause I'm as good as dead
I am a weak one
I do not take part
I don't raise my hand for this brand new plan
Guess I'm not so smart
You jump on my bones now
So I can not walk
You hit my head with stones now so I can't talk
You even rip my heart out so everyone can see
The awful mess, the loneliness that's inside of me
Yeah I'm hurt
Yeah I'm worse
Best part of it all is that I stand up and you fall
It's wonderful now
There's nothing to say now
Since I am dead
You killed me so softly
I was easily led
Yeah I'm hurt
Yeah I'm worse
Best part of it all is that I stand up and you fall
