It's difficult to see from the surface
But everything goes in
And it stings like a spider
Hits you deep inside and
I know that you are just like me oversensitive
We're an ordinary breed
Taking everything for much more than it means
Well, it's dangerous and it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed
All these words we speak casually
Well, maybe I'm just weak, but it hurts me
Everything you said, everything you said
Everything you said, well it cuts like a knife
It hurts me deep inside and
I know that you are just like me oversensitive
We're an ordinary breed
Taking everything for much more than it means
Well, it's dangerous and it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed
I should put on my armor the next time I see you
So I won't be harmed
But I know I can shoot my own arrows, I'm sorry I hurt you
I know that like me you can be oversensitive
I know that you are just like me oversensitive
We're an ordinary breed
Taking everything for much more than it means
Well, it's dangerous and it's sweet
Yeah, it's dangerous and sweet
Don't you know it's dangerous and it's sweet?
I won't let this burden bring me down
So here we are again
Staring at the end of what we made and who we are
Never knowing when
One of us will break apart and walk the other way
Love, I don't know what to say
Love, I don't know how to stay
When you won't let me be the person that I am
The writing's on the wall, there's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall, you gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better and I won't let this burden bring me down
What are we to do?
What are we to say to one another now we're through?
Thanks for being you
Thanks for being all the things I had to say goodbye to
I'm over being lied to
I'm over being pushed into the
Person that you want me to become
The writing's on the wall, there's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall, you gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better and I won't let this burden bring me down
Where did we go wrong?
We let it be so long
But now there's no point turning back, let's face the facts
The writing's on the wall, there's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall, you gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better and I won't let this burden bring me down
I won't let this burden bring me, I won't let this burden bring me down
I came home and nothing was right
It's been a while since a fight
Well, maybe tonight my need for love
Can blind my sight
And I say things out of spite
Or I push you aside
No, I don't know how to fix it
I am falling apart and I am breaking your heart
Help me to see
'Cause I am blinded by love, blinded by love
And help me to be the one to guide us
Through the dark things we do
Now I know I can be tough sometimes
My words come out like knives
Cutting the space between us
And you try, yeah, I know you try
To just let things slide
But what good is that to us?
Oh, oh, I don't know
I am falling apart and I am breaking your heart
Help me to see
'Cause I am blinded by love, blinded by love
And help me to be the one to guide us
Through the dark things we do
Oh, I don't know what possibly changed
We were so good, so good
And where is the light at the end of this tunnel
I will never be, I will never be tall, no
And I will never be, never ever be sure of it all
Oh, why's the world so cruel to me?
When all, all I ever wanna be is anything I'm not
Gimme a break, a little escape
I am so tired of being me
I wanna be free, I wanna be new and different
Anything I'm not, I'm not
I will never be, I will never be you, no
I will always be, I will always be me, that I know
But oh, even though I'm happy being me
I want to get away from all this harsh reality, oh
Gimme a break, a little escape
I am so tired of being me
I wanna be free, I wanna be new and different
Anything I'm not
Yeah, gimme a break, a little escape
I am so tired of being me
I wanna be free, I wanna be new and different
Anything I'm not, anything I'm not
Oh, anything I'm not
Gimme a break, a little escape
I am so tired of being me
I wanna be free, I wanna be new and different
Anything I'm not
Yeah, gimme a break, a little escape
I am so tired of being me
I wanna be free, I want to be new and different
Anything I'm not, anything I'm not
Anything I'm not, anything I'm not
Oh, got to see, got to know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all
Oh, got to see, got to know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
She moved in to the house next door
Said she'd never been in love before
Tried the best she could to hide herself away
But every time she turned the lights down low
He thought he heard a voice calling out so slow
Come and take me away from all this pain
And he said
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
You will be mine, mine
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
Every morning when she came outside
He tried to be the one to catch her eye
But she would only turn away and hide
He started to concoct a plan
To get her to return the feelings that he had
To show her how he thought they were entwined
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
You will be mine, mine
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
Little love letters written in red
Folded up, put away next to the bed, oh
Little crushed hopes every day
You and me will be lying side by side
Forever, forever
Underneath this adolescent sky
Together, together
And you will hold my heart inside your hand
And you'll be the one to tell me
Oh we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old
You made me swear that our hearts will never die
No never, no never
'Cause no one seems to believe that we can fly
Forget them, forget them
Oh..you told me
Oh we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old (x2)
Oh how could we know that day, it came with age
That oh, the feeling would fade...
Oh we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old (x2)
Two, now that I'm with you
Another point of view
Instead of what I knew
Oh two, whatever will do
I don't see a way through
But your the one I choose
I never knew what double could do
But things are better, so much better
Hold me closer never let me go
I don't want any other, baby
Two is the one, two is the one
I was lonely never had nobody
But now I've got double, baby
Two is the one, two is the one for me
One, never had so much fun
Staying up till sun
Bangin' on my own drum
One, Always looking for love
And ending up with none
Made come true undone
I never knew what double could do
But things are better, so much better with two
Chorus
Two, a couple not a few
Well this is something new
If a can deal with it then so can you
I never knew what double could do
Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh oh, I try!
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show
Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
You move
A little closer
You feel
The force of nature
We touch
And something charges
The air
You look into my eyes
And you
Can't look away
It's no surprise
I planned it
Out this way
And now I know
Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do
It's sorcery the way
I draw you to me
So don't try
To struggle
You are captured
In my web
Just like
A voodoo doll
I make you move
'Cause I know
What I like
And I like you
Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do
Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do
Now close your eyes
And surrender
To the moment
Reach out your hand
And touch me
I am your gravity
Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
So tired of feeling blue such a heavy weight on you
So shake it off and make your way
To somewhere different, to somewhere different
Oh now you're leaving me, oh what will you do?
All alone in the big bad world but I'm not worried, no
'Cause you're gonna skip along quite merrily baby
You're gonna revel in hating what's going on
And you're like a sugar bomb and no harm will come
No harm will come if you just skip along
Acting oblivious comes natural to us
Keep smiling knowing all the while the world will fall apart
The world will fall apart
So we're gonna skip along quite merrily baby
We're gonna revel in hating what's going on
And you're like a sugar bomb and no harm will come
No harm will come if we just skip along
Wouldn't it be lovely to be home, home?
Safe and sound with no one round
To bring us down but that's so far away
So I'm gonna skip along quite merrily baby
I'm gonna revel in hating and what's going on
And I'm like a sugar bomb and no harm will come
No harm will come if I just skip along
Yeah, we're gonna skip along quite merrily baby
We're gonna revel in hating what's going on
And you're like a sugar bomb, bomb, bomb and no harm will come
No harm will come if we just skip along
Skip along, skip along
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Just when you think that it will never get you
It comes and throws a lightening bolt right at you
Before you know and now your pulse is racin'
And now your blood in runnin' hot like crazy
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Into love
It's waiting for you right around the corner
It doesn't have the decency to warn ya
It comes along taps you on the shoulder
You fall into the arms that now will hold ya
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
Don't tell me you wanna be
The kind of girl who's drowning
And don't go holding on to anything
That's gonna keep you frowning, darling
Everyone's compelled to look into the mirror
When they're crying
Just because your tears are pretty
Doesn't mean they'll get you by
Sing me a sad song and make me feel better
Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry
Because everything feels like it's going around in circles
And everyone knows that the world is upside down
You were once a little baby
Full of optimistic wonder
So what got into you to make you think
That it could pull you under, honey
Could it be that we were under
The impression life was perfect?
And when the bubble burst
We understood that every part of it hurts
Sing me a sad song and make me feel better
Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry
Because everything feels like it's going around in circles
And everyone knows that the world is upside down
I'm going to color my glasses rose
And I'm going to follow where the rainbow goes
And my pot of gold will be waiting
So sing me a sad song and make me feel better
Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry
Because everything feels like it's going around in circles
And everyone knows that the world is upside down
(Roll, roll with the punches)
(Roll, roll with the punches)
That really hurts me like a fist to the face
I wasn't ready to be knocked out of place
Suddenly everything I was sure of
Is sinking below the depths of the surface
It's unexpected, it usually is
When you're rejected or you take a hit
Suddenly everything's thrown a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
Little weapons over the phone
They like to threaten the life that I know
They say, get over here and get into the ring
Bit I'm not really much of a fighter
My mechanisms of defense are down
And my resistance is out on the town
I was alarmed by your attack
This isn't a boxing match
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
Oh, when all I want is a little stability
Some time without any bruises
You go and tell me the things that I don't wanna hear
Putting your fists into my ears
Filling me up with the dread and the fear
Leaving me all in pieces
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high
Yeah, when life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
One of these days you'll be under the covers
You'll be under the table and you'll realize
That all of your days are numbered, all of them one to one hundred
All of them millions, all of them trillions
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more, no, no
Take every moment, you know that you own them
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you
Gimme a reason to fight the feeling
That there's nothing here for me
'Cause none of it's easy, I know it wasn't meant to be
I know it's all up to me, it's all up to me
So what am I gonna do with my time?
I'll take every moment, I know that I own them
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you
All of the moments you didn't notice gone in the blink of an eye
And all of the feelings you can't help feeling no matter how you try
Take every moment, you know that you own them
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
I can't forget you when you're gone
You're like a song that goes around in my head
And how I regret, it's been so long
Oh, what went wrong? Could it be something I said?
Time, make it go faster or just rewind
To back when I'm wrapped in your arms
All afternoon long it's with me the same song
You left a light on inside me, my love
I can remember the way that it felt to be
Holding on to you
I can't forget you when you're gone
You're like a song that goes around in my head
And how I regret, it's been so long
Oh what went wrong? Could it be something I said?
Time, make it go faster or just decide
Heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat
My heart is playing tricks on me
And it's building bricks on me
I can't break through and I can't face you
My world is turning slowly now
But it's burning up somehow
I need some time to know what's right
'Cause it's only in the quiet that I feel some relief
I'm trying hard not to resist the joy
Don't listen to me, I'm being paranoid
I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
My heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat
My heart is always first to know
And as the feeling grows, I can't deny
Push those thoughts aside
My world is full of loveliness
But I focus on the stress, my heart says, "Go"
But my brain says, "No"
And it's only in the quiet that I hear myself breathe
I'm trying hard not to resist the joy
Don't listen to me, I'm being paranoid
I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
My heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat
Oh, I know this time 'cause it's physical
My blood has stopped and I am breathless as well
But I need a minute to convince myself
'Cause it's only in the quiet that I know what to feel
I'm trying hard not to resist the joy
Don't listen to me, I'm being paranoid
I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
My heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat
I'm trying hard not to resist the joy
Don't listen to me, I'm being paranoid
I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
My heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat
A second, a minute, an hour, a day goes by
I'm hopin' just to be by your side
I'm turnin' the handle, it won't open
Don't make me wait 'cause right now I need your smile
Knock, knock
When life had locked me out I turned to you
So open the door
'Cause you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you
Little louder, little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder, little louder
A warm bath, a good laugh, an old song that you know by heart
I've tried it but they all leave me cold
So now I'm here waitin' to see you
My remedy for all that's been hurtin' me
Knock, knock
When life had locked me out I turned to you
So open the door
'Cause you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you
You seem to know the way
To turn my frown upside down
You always know what to say
To make me feel like everything's okay
Little louder, little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder, little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder, little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder, little louder
When life had locked me out I turned to you
And you open the door
And you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you
When life had knocked me down I turned to you
And you open the door
And you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you
Nothin' works like you
When life had locked me out I turned to you
And you open the door
And you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you
I don't know anymore
I don't know what I've been fighting for
But something inside me won't go quietly
And I could be anywhere
'Cause we're all breathing the same air
It goes inside and makes me feels alive
And all I can say is, all I can say
I am here and I will be
Following my own way forever and a day
I am here and I'm here to stay
Oh, we are here and we will be
Following our own way no matter what you say
We are here and we're here to stay
We are here to stay
No matter where you roam
Anywhere you lay your heart's your home
Stand your ground if they push you down
Because all you can say is, all you can say
We are here and we will be
Following our own way, no matter what you say
We are here and we're here to stay
Oh, we are real and we feel it
When you deny us or when you get tired of us
We are here and we're here to stay
We are here to stay
I never knew when enough was enough
Or whether to stay when the going was tough
But I won't let a little heart be afraid
And all I can say is, all I can say
I am here and I will be
Following my own way forever and a day
I am here and I'm here to stay
Oh, we are here and we will be
Following our own way no matter what you say
We are here and we're here to stay
We are here to stay
We are here to stay
We are here to stay
Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving me love to find a way
Through this heaviness I feel
I just need someone to say everything's okay
Woke my weary head
Crawled out of my bed
And I said "oh, I can't go on" OR ("oh, how do I go on"?)
Oh how do I go on?
(Nothings going right
Shadows took the light
And I said 'how do I go on'?)
Oh, how do I go on?
Sometimes I need a little sunshine
And sometimes, I need you
Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving me love to find a way
Through this messy life I've made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little
Hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this heaviness I feel
I just someone to say everything's okay
*Everything's okay*
I gave my hope to you
When your nearly through
And you said "oh I can't go on"
Well now I need it back
'Cause I have got a lack of what's good
And I can't go on
Yeah sometimes I just need a little sunshine
And sometimes I need you
Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving me love to find a way
Through this messy life I've made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this heaviness I feel
I just need someone to say everything's okay
Everything's okay
Everything's okay
Everything's okay
Everything's okay
Sometimes I just need a little sunshine
And sometimes I need you
Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving me love to find a way
Through this messy life I've made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little
Hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this messy life I've made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little...
Hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this heaviness I feel
As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as neat as a word
As quite as a mouse, as big as a house
All I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything
As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
All I wanna be, oh, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything, everything at once
Everything at once, oh, everything at once
As warm as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
All I wanna be, oh, all I wanna be, oh
At the end of the world
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
The things we used to do
Like living life, breathing air
Running your fingers through my hair
Oh, this isn't fair
At the end of the world
I will hold you so close
So we won't notice the destruction
Of all we used to know
We will close our eyes
As the waters rise
We'll float away and you will say
"Oh, isn't this nice?"
Ah, at the end of the world
We'll be together, be together
Ah, if I can spend it with you
Then the end of the world don't matter at all
At the end of the world
We will kiss for the last time
And we won't feel the earth collapse into
A mess of flood and fire
We'll be making love
As the sky above falls down over us
We'll be the luckiest ones
At the end of the world
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
The things we used to do
At the end of the world
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
But if I should break, if I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take a little of the weight
Or I'll fall through
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Take a little time, walk a little line
Get the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight
We will be alright, I'll be by your side
I won't let you down
But I gotta know no matter how things go
That you will be alright
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
You'll be the one that I'll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
I'm sitting in the little room
watching you pretend that you don't love me like you used to
I can see the lies inside your eyes, I cry
cause I can't forget all the things that we've been through
When the walls come crumbling down
Dust replaces the magic that we found
What if I told you that once I leave I let go
Would you believe that I am stronger than you know
You wished it away now I can't stay
Remember in the little room
the time we thought we had something special no one else had
Well I don't understand how something so good,
something so good can turn out so bad
I know it hurts you even though you can't show it
I had to knock you down or I would have never known it
You wished it away now I can't stay
I miss you
I hate the way you've made me hate you
You couldn't say "stay"
I lived days & nights like you
Everyone just passing through
Take all I can get in one day
Cause tomorrow seems so far away
Bide your time and test your luck
A little white pill, another quick f*ck
In the whirlwind of street desire
You ponder your heart's own fire
Far away
Slick in the moment then predictably numb
Cross the street to another someone
You've had your high, you've had your fun
Crack a smile, what's done is done
It's always a thunderstorm in here
Without it the silence would hurt my ears
Best the lightning strikes my heart
Than for solitude to tear it apart
Far away
Through the chaos you're alone
A million miles away from home
And all that you've ever known
Seems so far away now
It seems so far away now
I'm getting good at letting go of things I used to love
These things happen, a quaint retraction of the girl I was
I'm going crazy!
Help! I'm falling down
It's getting hazy!
Help! I've hit the ground
I know how it feels to want to get the hell out of here
Chaotic places, scary faces
I just wanna disappear
You're getting good at letting go of things you once clung to
We pretend that no one leaves but we know we all do
You're going crazy!
Help! You're falling down
It's getting hazy!
Help! You've hit the ground
I know how you feel cause I've been there before
Escape the changes, perplexing stages
You just want to disappear
Lock the world out so they can't find you hiding in your bed
When they come knocking you feign madness as the wicked grin spreads
I never thought I'd find my way
back to your front door
Black paint and broken picture frames
strewn across the floor
I tore the room apart to find your name
beneath the layers of the sane
You're so confused when we're apart
How clever is the man
who spends a lifetime counting cards
to never show his hand?
In the quiet I can feel your shame
A faint familiar barricade
I can't see you
I don't hear you call
What am I fighting for?
You know I wonder who you are
when I'm not around
A king, for queen, who plays a part
or loyal in your crown
Through the doorway I see nothing's changed
the shadow of the masquerade
I don't need you
It's just been so long
how did it all go wrong?
I guess it's how the story goes...
Don't come back, I need you
Go away, I'll leave you
Hide your heart, I'll cheat you
Don't false start, I'll beat you
Through the doorway I see nothing's changed
I'm not perfect
I spend my time alone
I get bored fast
I don't answer my phone
I wake up too late
I tell little white lies
God knows I drink too much
I have secrets i still hide
Can you love me?
Love me
If not forever than just for today
I promise to try and get better
cause I know now love is all that matters
I'm unreliable
I don't have a backup plan
I'll forget your birthday present
I'll expect you to understand
I'm impatient
I act tougher than I am
I wonder if all the people I love
even know I love them
Can you love me?
Love me
If not forever than just for today
I promise to try and get better
cause I know now love is all that matters
I want to be good
I want lots of friends, too
I wanna laugh more and cry less
I wanna be like you
I want to love myself
I want to do what i say i'll do
I want to be less antisocial
She walks along the city street
While everyone is still asleep
Waiting for the sun to take the night away
All the evil things she's done
They haunt her life can someone
Save her from this ordinary world
She starts to run
She's had her fun
But no one's waiting for her at the other end
Secrets locked inside her mind
No one knows just where she's been
That's what makes her invisible
Until the end, invisible
She sees a park and sits alone
Rain is falling, growing cold
Nothing seems that pretty anymore
This tainted flesh these tainted bones
Should've done what she was told
Nothing works out quite the way you plan it
And so you run
You've had your fun
But no one's waiting for you at the other end
Secrets locked inside your mind
No one knows just where you've been
That's what makes you invisible
Until the end, invisible
She's floating with the stars
She's floating up to Mars
She'll never come down
She'll never come down
In the calm after the storm
there's a light under the door
In a straight line
it shines
Flickering it disappears
and the shadows hide my tears
This time
I cry
Where are you?
Rainbows dance across your face
In this wild and empty space
I hide
hypnotized
And the warmth within your gaze
takes me to a better place
up high
I fly
to you
Gone
Blue
Where are you?
There she goes
with her stomach tied in knots
Again
She's got her suitcase in her hand
She says
She's tired
of waking up alone
in your arms
in your eyes
she's cold
You wave
She says
I can't stay her anymore
You'll never let me in
You'll never let me know you
like him
And you wonder
Does he love her?
You wonder does he love her like you love her?
As she leaves
You feel your knees are getting weak
She turns
You look straight into her eyes
The truth
It hurts
cause you're drenched in contradiction
You won't let her wring you out
You won't let her win
She says
If this is
as close AS you'll ever get
Then you should let me leave
You should let me run to him
to him
And you wonder
Does he love her?
You wonder does he love her like you love her?
You'll never know...
Lying awake all alone can't escape
Trying to make sense of your contradictions
Words like a knife cut so deep as he bleeds
and they're still perplexed by the complications
Why do you go my friend?
Is this end? Oh no
Please don't go my friend
Is this the end? Please don't go
Sick of pretending to be someone else
just to fit the mold of who he "should be"
Stifled, corrected, shot down, disaffected
A war of worlds and its broken soldier
Where do you go my friend?
(When the color leaves your eyes
And the shadows hide your smile again)
Is this the end? Oh no
Please don't go my friend?
(When your echo has no sound
And there's no one else around)
Is this the end? Please don't go
you're what keeps me awake and you're what lets me sleep
you live inside me, yet you're miles away
you make me remember, you make me forget
you take me places that i've never been
i wanna scribble your name on this page until it rips right through
i wanna hold you so hard you can't move
let's break the rules, let's make a new game
let's ignore the hypocrites who cares what they say
let's satiate this thing
together...
you are ancient you are youth, sweet dichotomy
you're the drug and you're the cure, so enticing
so alive that it kills me every time
you're so dumb just like me, yet still so wise
i wanna scream i love you until i lose my voice
i want you more than anyone and it's not my choice
let's break the rules, let's make a new game
let's ignore the hypocrites who cares what they say
let's satiate this thing
together...
how about that siren you hear screeching in your ear
you gonna pretend you can't hear it?
or the flashing lights that keep you up at night
you're gonna say you don't fear it?
you're gonna crash and burn unless you turn around
just turn around!
nothing makes sense anymore
nothing makes any sense anymore
but the pain makes you know you're alive
at least the pain makes you know you're alive
you're alive
do you love yourself now
how about the friends that run away. they can't stay
cause if they do you'll run them over
on a path to destruction, you defend your corruption
it keeps them from getting close to you
you're gonna crash and burn unless you turn around
just turn around!
nothing makes sense anymore
nothing makes any sense anymore
but the pain makes you know you're alive
at least the pain makes you know you're alive
you're alive
you're losing yourself...
He wants to take her picture, but she looks away
Caught up in insecurities that get in the way
She knows he can see straight through her and she's scared
He wishes she knew he liked all he saw cause he cares
How can it be that she's so afraid?
Don't be afraid
It's just you and me
No one can see the way you look at me
And if they could they'd say
It's beautiful
He turns the music up and they play along
Duet of opposite instruments, it's his favorite song
How can it be that she's so afraid?
Don't be afraid
It's just you and me
No one can hear the music that we're making
And if they could they'd say
It's beautiful
Connected by all things intangible, hear the sound
Slowly becoming comfortable with what they've found
I don't know what i'm supposed to say
I hate it when you act this way
You go out drinking with your friends
Of course the night it never ends
I sit home with my glass of wine
Pretending everything's just fine
But i don't think the phone will ring
So i'll just sit here and i'll sing (alone)
I like you better when you're sober
At least you know my name
Don't come back running when it's over
When you'll just act the same
When will you change your crazy ways
Find better ways to spend your days
A big fat spliff between your lips
I'm sick of all the same old shit
I like you better when you're sober
Quit staying out all night
Don't make me tell you that it's over
I don't wanna fight
That's right!
She wears her hair up high
Stockings up to her thighs
You know she wanna go down
You know she's been around
While you sleep, she will creep
out of the shadows like a leach
Hide your neck, lock the doors
Put up the cross cause she's a wrong-way girl
She's gonna rock your world
She climbs up to the glass
You watch her shake her ass
A succubus with a nice smile
You'll let her stay for a while
While you sleep, your soul she'll keep
She'll make you wonder, make you weep
Beneath the covers of the world
The wicked game of the wrong-way girl
She's gonna rock your world
Don't be shy, you're all mine
I'll take what I want, I'll take my time
Nothing you can do
You're just a man, fool
Lie back, be sweet
Feel the heat
Cause I'm a wrong-way girl
There's something in the way you look at me
A part of you you don't want me to see
Distracted by the voices in your head
You keep it cold
You'll never know
You're numb
All I wanna do is set you free
But I can't seem to make you run to me
I can't hold back and I can't let go
You make me feel alive
Open your eyes
There's something in the way that you can't see
The part of you attached to part of me
The life you choose to live with eyes closed
You think it works
Cause it doesn't hurt
But it doesn't hurt cause you're numb
You ask me why I never come around
Been 12 years since I left this town
And if you could see me now
Would you be proud?
Never meant to go so far away
Swept up by the winds of change
But I left this town
Can you be proud?
Don't hate, don't blame, don't be ashamed
Cause one day it'll be too late
Remember when you sang those words to me
Little girl who 'turns around' and leaves
Well she never cried
It was just her time
Don't hate, don't blame, don't be ashamed
Cause one day it'll be too late
Just be proud
Oh say it outloud
Cause one day it'll be too late
Once again it's gone away
It's a shame that nothing stays the same
The leaves change color, green to red
Dark hair turned grey
Time's wicked wand casts a spell that not even God can undo
Time out
I'm not playing
If I have to be 'it' I'm going home
I'm just saying that these aren't the rules
No one's supposed to feel this
Outside the window children play
And you reminisce on your yesterday
Swing sets and bike rides, spelling bees
Roller coasters...
Time turns the world over like a kickball game
Time out
I'm not playing
If I have to be 'it' I'm going home
I'm just saying that these aren't the rules
No one's supposed to feel this
My arms are folded
My face a scowl
I stomp my feet and pout
Cause I'm gonna stay right here
Right here right now
Right now
Pick up sticks and fireflies
Camping trips and lullabies...
Here we go, on our own
We'll make our own path, we won't look back
5am for a drive
The Monday sunrise makes us smile
In the moment we're free
of all the bad things, little lovethieves
Here we go!
I won't let you go
I like it here
For the first time I am happy
I feel alive
So let's drive
The simple things that we do
make me thankful that I met you
Even when we get tired
we stay up talking or go out walking
With the wind in our face
we're so alive, we're so awake
Here we go!
I won't let you go
I like it here
For the first time I am happy
I feel alive
So let's drive
It's a shame these things don't last forever
I'll never forget our time together
Don't know what happens in the end
I'm just glad i found a real friend
This is all i have
Read between the lines
There is nothing left
I can't help you find yourself
If you don't look now you will never find the way to the happiness you
crave
You are not alone
We all need a change
The void inside you has grown
Why are we afraid of what we could be?
If you don't look now you will never find the way to that happiness you
crave
Snow is falling down
A new season has passed
Still the same old town
Who will calm the sadness in your blue eyes?
If you don't look now you will never find the way to the happiness you
crave
What could you do
Where could you go
What could you be
What could you know
Who could you teach
Who could you reach
What could you make
What could you change
What could you change?
What have I become?
Falling through the cracks
A life that's left undone
If I could take away the memories
Of all the things I used to be
The price we pay for all the miles apart
An emptiness inside our heart
And I wait for love
But it's not enough
Too many words unspoken
The comfort fades
The silence breaks me down
A tragic type of sound penetrates my mind
I can't escape the killing time
And in my dream I saw you standing there
Your face a ghost, an empty stare
I never meant to shut you out of my life
Confused, I was a broken child
And I wait for love
But it never comes
Too many words unspoken
The comfort fades
The silence weighs upon
A tragic type of calm that invades our lives
We can't escape the killing time
I know there's no starting over, but what if we tried
One word at a time can breathe new life
So I wait
Don't wanna fight no more
Don't wanna win the war
I cannot make a dead rose golden
A penny for your time
O precious valentine
You hate me for the path I've chosen
Cause in the dark house you aren't dreaming
Sleeping alone
Still counting castles I am weeping
Leaving (home)
Eyes I don't recognize
Careen and criticize
A faith less lost than never known
O does it hurt to smile
I know it's been a while
The birds up here don't sing no more
Up in the dark house there's no morning
It's boring alone
The words of wisdom you're ignoring
Deploring your own
I wanna go where heaven flows like silver liquid in my hands
The magnet touch of purest love can save a man...
You change your mind all the time
and it's because of her
Can't you see what she puts you through
Turn around, up and down, go lay down
She says jump and then you do it
cause you don't know how to say it's through
But it's because of you, too
Uh oh
She comes around with a frown
We see it bring you down
She sucks the fun right from your sweet soul
Lose a friend, make amends, can you bend
a little more until the drama takes control
and rips you up in two
Half of who you once knew
Why can't you see
It's time to be free
Blame your heart
I blame your… I blame your...
Oh no Yoko go!
Another night, another fight
We see it in your eyes
Sunken treasure, hazy gray
Where'd you go, just say no, don't you know
She can't stop you if you want it
you can have it send her on her way
Today would be a good day
Why can't you see
It's time to be free
Blame your heart
I blame your… I blame your...
I sit on the edge of the magic bridge
Overlooking all of the carnage
Your innocence is my tourniquet
And I am still a masochist
When will this all be over?
We'll never be together
Why does the fire illuminate our future sorrow?
I see a reflection down below
Outline of a girl I hardly know
I throw a rock right at her face
Let the water take her place
When will this all be over?
We'll never be together
Why does the water saturate the dawn with sarcasm?
I feel the sun beating down on me
A scarlet dose of reality
Your shade not enough to save my skin
The burn a scar from my wicked sin
When will this all be over?
We'll never be together
Kala bayang itu warnai jiwa
Terlepas di hamparan samudra
Di antara khayal dan alam mimpiku
Sekian lama bayangan itu berjalan
Menyusuri setiap langkahku
Segarkan jiwa tanpa ada
Yang kan tersembunyi
Bayangan itu kian jelas
Semakin indah dalam hidupku (dalam hidupku)
Hingga tak tertahan hasratku
Kau pujaan hatiku
Senyumlah ooh kasihku
Kaulah bidadariku
Senyumlah ooh kasihku
Kau pujaan hatiku
Sekian lama bayangan itu berjalan
Menyusuri setiap langkahku
Segarkan jiwa tanpa ada
Yang kan tersembunyi
Bayangan itu kian jelas
Semakin indah dalam hidupku (dalam hidupku)
Hingga tak tertahan hasratku
Kaulah bidadariku
Senyumlah ooh kasihku
Kaulah dalam rinduku
Senyumlah ooh kasihku
Kau pujaan hatiku
Kuakan terus mencintaimu
Bila kuingat senyum manismu
Takkan habis waktu melamun
Bila kuingat canda tawamu
Takkan habis waktu berangan
Ingin kumiliki hari selamanya
Berdua denganmu selamanya
Bukan hanya angan yang kelamaan
Bila kuingat janji manismu
Kutunggu sampai malam meninggalkanku
Berangan.....
Bila kuingat senyum manismu
Takkan habis waktu melamun
Bila kuingat canda tawamu
Takkan habis waktu berangan
Ingin kumiliki hari selamanya
Berdua denganmu selamanya
Bukan hanya angan yang kelamaan
Bila kuingat janji manismu
Kutunggu sampai malam meninggalkanku
you wonder why you, still wonder why you
the will to fit in is your number one
you lay down without love, you lay down without trust
with hope for someone to see you
you've always been there for them
but none of them have been there for you
you've always been there for them
but none of them have seem to noticed
you wonder why you, still wonder why you
search for a smile in depressing rooms
you lay down without love, you lay down without clothes
in hope for someone to kill you
you've always been there for them
but none of them have been there for you
you've always been there for them
but none of them have seem to noticed x3
you've always been there for them
but none of them have been there for you
you've always been there for them
and try to calm them down
you've always been there for them
but none of them have been there for you
you've always been there for them
but none of them have ever felt pain
to get by and have someone
you've always been there for them
but none of them have been there for you
you've always been there for them
but none of them have seem to noticed
