Yellowcard

1. The Takedown

I feel things changing when I move
(Its a distance, Its a difference)
I'll cross this planet without you
(and you might call this a downfall)
Its one long night that I'm passing through
(Its a dark one what have I done)
Its one long night...

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down

Left last night with a long goodbye
(With some red wine through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty, when you leave me)
What's one more?

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the broken one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down
You take me down

I won't get by
I won't heal in time
I won't get by

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down

2. Fighting

Said I'd move on and I'd leave it alone
But before I walk out there is something that I need you to know
I got lost in the blink of an eye
And I could never get back, no I never got back…

You were not there when I wanted to say
That you were everything right
And it wasn't you but me that changed
Now I gotta go it alone
But I will never give up, no I'll never give up.

What am I fighting for?
There must be something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?

Said “I'm ok”, but I know how to lie
You were all that I had
You were delicate and hard to find
Got lost in the back of my mind
And I could never get back, no I never got back

You were not there when I needed to say
I hit the bottom so fast
That my head was spinning ‘round for days
Now I gotta go it alone
But I will never give up…
No I'll never give up…

What am I fighting for?
There must be something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?

What am I fighting for?

What am I fighting for?

Never give up… on this
Never give up… up on this
Never give up… on this
Never give up… on this

Said “I'm ok” but I know how to lie
I will never give up, no I'll never give up

What am I fighting for?
There must be something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?

What am I fighting for?
No, I'm never gonna give up, give up

What am I fighting for?
No, I'm never gonna give up, give up

Said that I'd fight for the one that I found
I'm gonna stay here while I wait for you to come around
I'll fight, you're a part of me now
And I will never give up, no I'll never give up

3. Shrink The World

If I could then I'd,
Shrink the world tonight,
So that I would find,
You and me inside.

A life in love,
A picture of,
A place I'm nowhere near.
A bleeding heart,
A good head start,
To anywhere but here.
Just let me out,
Please let me out,
Before I turn into,
A box of things,
Reminding me,
How much I'm missing out. (I am missing you.)

If I could then I'd,
Shrink the world tonight,
So that I would find,
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering.

And through the wall my fist you call and then you always run.
So what's it for, the love and war, it's only fair for some.
You saved the girl you saved the world,
Well that's not true it seems.
A lesson learned, speak out of turn,
I bite my tongue it bleeds. (Bite my tongue it bleeds)

If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering. Are you wondering?

If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering.

If I could shrink the world tonight.
If I could...

4. Keeper

I wanna love,
I wanna leave.
I want you to love me,
I want you to leave me.
I want to stand where I can see,
I'm watching you love me,
I'm watching you leaving me now.

I wish I could be somebody else.
wish I could see you in myself.
wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say what you really feel.
You know I need something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.

I wanna know if I could be,
Someone to turn to,
That could never hurt you.
But I know what you think of me,
You had a breakthrough,
And now I'm just bad news for you.

I wish I could be somebody else.
wish I could see you in myself.
wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say what you really feel.
You know I need something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.

I should've told you everything.
I never gave you anything.
I should've told you everything.
If I could give you anything,
Then I would tell you everything.

I wish I could be somebody else.
wish I could see you in myself.
wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say what you really feel.
You know I need something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.

I should've told you everything.
I should've told you everything.
I should've told you everything.

5. Light Up The Sky

You're making a choice to live like this,
In all of the noise,
I am silence.
We already know how it ends tonight,
You run in the dark through a firefight.
And I would explode just to save your life,
Yeah I would explode.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky.

I can't find a wall to pin this to,
They're all coming down since I've found you.
I just wanna be where you are tonight.
I run in the dark looking for some light,
And how will we know if we just don't try,
We won't ever know.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I'll ignite for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Just for you tonight.
Let me help you fly,
Cause you won't have time.
Cover your eyes,
Get your disguise,
They won't ask you why,
They just watch you die.

And it's still so hard to be who you are,
So you play this part,
The show goes on.
You've come this far with a broken heart,
Yeah you've come this far,
And you've broken.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I'll ignite for you,
I'll ignite for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.

And it's still so hard to be who you are,
But you've come this far with a broken heart.
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
But you've come this far with a broken...

Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky.

6. Shadows And Regrets

I'm back, back in town
And everything has changed
I feel, feel let down
The faces stay the same
I see, see shadows
Of who we used to be
When I drive, drive so slow
Through this memory

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest

I heard, heard myself
Say things I take back
If I could, could retell
And make these stories last
I see, see shadows
Of who we'll always be
When I drive, drive these roads
That made our memories

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
Shadows and regrets
Let go of the rest

Everything has changed (Everything has changed)
Faces stay the same (Faces stay the same)
Everything has changed (Everything has changed)
Faces stay the same

And we were only kids
And our time couldn't end
And how tall did we stand
With the world in our hands
And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
Shadows and regrets
Let go of the rest
Shadows and Regrets
Let go of the rest

7. Five Becomes Four

Needed some time
So I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I've become
What I have done
I never asked to be the one

I'm riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down
One me around
For you, I'd go again

It's gotta be
Easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down
Dragging me out
How did you end up in that crowd?

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself
For what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone
With the melody
Do you close your eyes
And think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?

Try and put aside
Your history and pride
Maybe for one
Moment in time
We'll all be on your side

The story goes
Nobody knows
What it was like when you were through
Someone who cared
Out in the air
Didn't let them crash down anywhere

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself
For what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone
With the melody
Do you close your eyes
And think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?

Remember the line
Never Say Die
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go?
I need to know
I waited here, you never showed
It's gonna be
Harder for me
I can't forgive so many things
When you were down
I was around
Why would you try and hurt me now?
Just tell me why
Just tell me why

(Did you run away?)
(Did you run away?)
(Did you run away?)

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself
For what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone
With the melody
Do you close your eyes
And think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
When five becomes four
When five becomes four

8. Afraid

Lie in this empty bed
With this aching head
You left me here this morning
Now I can't remember why
I let you in again
To get under my skin
And every time you disappear
I remember

How I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

Now there's no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am
And I remember how you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move so I remember

I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

I look for you
But I can't see your face
Then I hear you
The only thing you say is
Don't look for me
Cause you will never say
You won't hear me
You won't hear me

Why do we keep this up?
Why do we live like us?
When there is nothing left to save
Will you be afraid?

I am afraid right now
You already let me down
You are the one who can't be saved
If only I could say
I am afraid right now
You never will get out
You'll never let yourself be saved
You are so afraid
You are so afraid

9. Date Line (I Am Gone)

Is this just a matter of
Me getting what I needed?
Till I was safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
And it's just a matter of
Me keeping myself seated
Till the pilot killed the overdrive
And landed in a place where you can't
Find me there
Find me there

When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
Then I am gone

I'm tired of you and me
(Tired of you and me)
And the space that's in between
(Space that's in between)
And I would rather be somewhere
With better thoughts and warmer air
I'm tired of trying to be
(Tired of trying to be)
Somebody different than me
(Different than me)
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
When the lights go out tonight, I'm gone
I'll run from here
Run

When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
And you still can't feel
When you can't escape
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone

Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
You can't find me there
You can't find me there

When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
(The hurt gets real)
And you still can't feel
(Still can't feel)
When you can't escape
(Can't escape)
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone

Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find

When the last plane leaves
And you cry for me
When you lie awake
And you feel it break
Then I am gone

10. Dear Bobbie

Dear Bobbie,
Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do.
I remember pleated skirts, black and white saddle shoes.
Do you remember dancing half night?
I do, I still think of you when we dance,
Although we cant jitterbug as we did then.

Do you remember when,
How long has it been?
1945 you opened my blue eyes,
To see a whole new life.

Do you remember when,
I told you this that night,
That if you're by my side,
When everyday begins,
I'll fall for you again.
I made a promise when,
I told you this that night.

I'll be fine.
Cause when I die, then I die loving you.
It's alright, I'll be fine.
When I die then I die loving you,
Loving you, loving you.

Do you remember the times we would give up on each other and get back together.
Then we finally was married in 1949.
We drove the yellow convertible on our honeymoon.
Do you remember? I do.

Life has led us here,
Together all these years.
This house that we have made,
Holds twenty-thousand days.
And memories we've saved,
Since life has lead us here.

And I'll be fine (I'll be Fine).
Cause when I die, then I die loving you.
It's alright (It's alright), I'll be fine (I'll be Fine).
Cause when I die then I die loving you,
Loving you, loving you.

I'm coming home to you,
Slipping off my shoes.
Resting in my chair.
See you standing there,
The silver in your hair.

I'm coming home to you,
When I lay tonight, when I close my eyes,
I know the sun will rise,
Here or the next life.
As long as your still mine, then its alright.

I'll be fine (I'll be Fine).
Cause when I die, then I die loving you.
It's alright (It's alright), I'll be fine (I'll be Fine).
Cause when I die then I die loving you,
Loving you, loving you.

You have gray hair now,
But you're a beautiful women,
And the years have been good to both of us.
We walk slow now, but we still have each other.
The glue of love is still bonding us together.
Love is what I remember. Do you remember?

11. You And Me And One Spotlight

It won’t be long now
The music’s on loud
We’ll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
I'll hold you close then
And let you know when
A space in time bend
And then we’ll fall in

Go put on your best tonight
It’s you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
We are ready

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me

I'll look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there
Together not scared
I’ll dry your last tear
And then we're just air

Go put on your best tonight
It’s you and me and not much time
To watch the world burning bright
We are ready

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you’ll get me through the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you’ll get me through the ending

Go put on your best tonight
It’s you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time

It won’t be long now

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you’ll get me through the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you’ll get me through the ending
Say you will be (it won’t be long now)
All around me (it won’t be long now)

12. Cut Me, Mick

I can't keep this together,
And I might lose this year.
I can't get through December,
And you know all my fears.

Someplace, somewhere behind me,
I walked right through the truth.
Truth is that you're the one thing,
That always pulls me through.

This troubled life I choose..

You are the one that I need,
You know that I can still bleed.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..
You let me down from my cloud,
You keep my feet on the ground.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..

When I thought that I might,
Be invincible.
It wasn't long before I,
Was invisible.

To your eyes and I swear,
There's nothing left in here.
And the more you say you don't care,
The more I know you're there.

You are the one that I need,
You know that I can still bleed.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..
You let me down from my cloud,
You keep my feet on the ground.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..

I can't keep this together..
(you are the one that I need..)
I can't stay sick forever..
(you know that I can still bleed..)
I can't stop this disaster..
(you bring me down from my cloud..)
I can't fall any faster..

You are the one that I need,
You know that I can still bleed.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..

You are the one that I need,
You know that I can still bleed.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..
You let me down from my cloud,
You keep my feet on the ground.
Bring me back to life..
Bring me back to life..

You are the one that I need..
You know that I can still bleed..
You let me down from my cloud..
You keep my feet on the ground..

13. Paper Walls

[Kids singing:]
Let's burn a hole, so we can climb out.
Of these paper walls, and this empty house.
Don't listen too close, their words are like guns.
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won..

Let's burn a hole, so we can climb out.
Of these paper walls, and this empty house.

Where the only thing that's real
Is visions we have of ten years ago,
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and east coast lines,
We kept this scene alive.

Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, I won't let go of it,
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Don't listen too close, their words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won.
Some love to hate, and some tell you lies.
So lets make a toast, and kiss them goodbye..
We'll kiss them all goodbye..

Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, I won't let go of it,
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Here I stand, won't turn back again.
Won't leave you, know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Let's take what hurts, and write it all down.
On these paper walls, and this empty house.
And when our ink runs out, we'll burn it to the ground..

Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, won't let go of it,
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Here I stand, won't turn back again.
Won't leave you, know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Yeah..

2. Lights And Sounds

Hello you, how was the rest?
You made it through
But nevertheless
I got you, out on a wire
You be love and I'll be a liar
Tell it all and fill up the air
Make it loud 'cause nobody's there
Nobody's there
Nobody's there

Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let 'em bring you in
Slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
Wonder where you've been

Make it new but stay in the lines
Just let go
Keep it inside
Smile big, for everyone
Even when you know what they've done
They gave you the end but not where to start
Not how to build, how to tear it apart
Tell it all and fill up the air
Make it loud 'cause nobody's there
Nobody's there

Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let 'em bring you in
Slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
Wonder where you've been

I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way...
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way...
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way...

Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let 'em bring you in
Slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
Wonder where you've been
You've earned everything you've found
And painted faces frown
I'll say I knew you when

3. Down On My Head

I work all night
For one more day that I can say I'm all alone
Alone
I just need time and I will say what I believe and I'll come home
Home

And all I know

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said
this is the world coming down on your head

As life flies by
I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this all again
Again
So line by line I write this down and I'm just trying to find the end
The end

And all I know

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
this is the world coming down on your head
You gave it to me I remember it read,
you've got the world coming down on your head
There's nothing to fight for it's already dead
and this is the world coming down on my head

When will it all end
One of you moves the others follow you

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
this is the world coming down on your head
I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed
cause I want the world coming down on my head
You're gonna find out you're already dead
and I was the world coming down on your head

4. Sure Thing Falling

He likes vampires and hit list radio
He turns it off when he hears this one song he knows
And you breathe with the windows down
You're driving I-4 as you make your way back home
You ride in silence because he will not let go
And you breathe with the windows down
It's a new place that you have found

I've been up late writing books
All about heroes and crooks
One of them saves you from this
The other one steals you and then
Sure things fall
And all sure things fall

Do you remember how we used to get so high?
It didn't work at first we tried it two more times
And we could breathe with the windows down
I was thinking of the temperature outside
Cool like the water that was running from our eyes
And we could breathe with the windows down
It's a new place that we had found

I've been up late writing books
All about heroes and crooks
One of them saves you from this
The other one steals you and then
Sure things fall
And all sure things fall

He can take you all the way to church this time,
But don't forget you summed it up in fifteen lines

I've been up late writing books
All about heroes and crooks
One of them saves you from this
The other one steals you
Of all the places I look
And all of the pictures I took
One of them is here with me now
I'm finally finding out how...

Sure things fall, all sure things fall.

5. City Of Devils

Man once sang to me, look at you saving the world on your own
And I wonder how things are gonna be
'cause the time here it passes so slow
In the city of devils we live
A city of devils we live

Find somebody to learn
Boy you gotta love someone more than yourself
I can feel the fire of the city lights burn
And it's hard to find angels in hell

Flying along
And I feel like I don't belong
And I can't tell right from the wrong
Why have I been here so long
In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live

Questions I can't seem to find
To the answers I already have
And you can't see the sky here at night
So I guess I can't make my way back

Flying along
And I feel like I don't belong
And I can't tell right from the wrong
Why have I been here so long

What if I wanted you here right now
Would you fall in the fire
Burn me down
If I wanted you here right now
Would you fall in the fire
Burn me down
If I wanted you here right now

In a city of devils we live
In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live
In a city of

Flying along
And I feel like I don't belong
And I can't tell right from the wrong
Why have I been here so long
I don't belong
Don't belong
I've been here too long
too long

6. Rough Landing, Holly

Left the ground in black and white
And when the plane went down
The colors all around
I know by now, the margin's slight
And still I can't get out
She's all I think about
Can't let her go
It's who you know

We came down to watch the world walk by
And all she found was trouble in my eyes
From the sky she pulled me down tonight
Let her go
Let her go

She moves fast, takes control
And like a heart attack I know I can't turn back
And time just passed, nights moved slow
And she was all I had
I thought I'd never last
Can't let her go
It's who you know

We came down to watch the world walk by
And all she found was trouble in my eyes
From the sky she pulled me down tonight
Let her go
Let her go

We came down to watch the world walk by
And all she found was trouble in my eyes
From the sky she pulled me down tonight

She calls out the farther that I fly
I love that sound so give me one more line
And from the sky she pulled me down tonight
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go

7. Two Weeks From Twenty

Jimmy wasn't really popular
He had a couple of friends back home
And sooner or later they're all getting out
So he had to join up alone
He was dreaming of the Ivy League
Since he was only three feet tall
Get the hell out of Jersey
And then he would never look back at all

And then you hear them say
That miles away
We lost another one
That we sent with a gun
They're gonna miss him, he was 2 weeks from 20
And there's still no shame
From the man to blame

Jimmy never had a reason to stay
Because all the factories shut down
All he had was a line for his name
So he could sign away his right to be proud
He tried to kiss her on the way out the door
She just put her little hand on his face
I don't understand why you're leaving, she said
But I hope you're gonna ask me to wait

And then you hear them say
That miles away
We lost another one
That we sent with a gun
His lady missed him, he was 2 weeks from 20
And there's still no shame
From the man to blame

Jimmy's mother went to Capitol Hill
So she could fill her heart up with joy
Maybe shake a few hands while she's there
And tell him, thank you sir for taking my boy

And then you hear them say
That miles away
We lost another one
That we sent with a gun
His mama missed him, he was 2 weeks from 20
And there's still no shame
From the man to blame
No there's still no shame
And we're all to blame

We're all to blame
We're all to blame
We're all to blame
We're all to blame

8. Waiting Game

You and me, a little different
though we tried to stay the same
It never leaves and when it changes
it is still a waiting game

I wait for a lonely breath
I wait to surface from this depth
I wait for the light to come
and take away these images I've kept
In my head
More than ever, I need to feel you
More than ever, I see the real you

You and me, our worst disaster would be waking up alone
Now we're free, drifting out like all the ones we didn't know
I wait for silence here
I wait for things to disappear
I wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear
If I lose you I don't know
More than ever, I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever, I see the real you
And it surrounds

Everything, everything we have had
Out of sight, out of mind
Given that what I see when I dream hurts like hell and back
[2x]

More than ever, I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever, I see the real you
And it surrounds
More than ever, I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever, I see the real you
And it surrounds

9. Martin Sheen Or JFK

Here it is one more glass for these broken hands
Goes down for you.
I've fallen in I sink then swallow
I never meant to see this through.

I'm taking them all, taking them all back for good
To a place where I know that I'm safe.
Then I can fall, then I could fall where I should
In this bottle with all my mistakes.

All the days since I've landed
I lost the way to find my truth
You float away and leave me stranded
What's left to say I'll hurt for you.

I'm taking them all, taking them all back for good
To a place where I know that I'm safe.
Then I can fall, then I could fall where I should
In this bottle with all my mistakes.

I could sleep but when I wake here
You'd still be gone
And you're my air.
I could breathe if you would stay here
another song so I could stare.

I could sleep but when I wake here
You'd still be gone
And you're my air.
I could breathe if you would stay here
another song so I could stare.

I'm taking them all, taking them all back for good.
To a place where I know that I'm safe.
Then I can fall, then I could fall where I should
In this bottle with all my mistakes.

I'm taking them all, taking them all back for good.
To a place where I know that I'm safe.
Then I can fall, then I could fall where I should
In this bottle with all my mistakes.

10. Space Travel

I heard a voice last night
It said wake up and open your eyes
Wake up, walk out tonight
Cause she don't care if you're dead or alive
Dead or alive...

She moves like beams of light
Straight through this universe in my head
Where I get piece of mind
I'm free from the stupid things that I said
She's all in my head...

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away

Somewhere behind her eyes
Some supernatural energy
Takes me for quite the ride
Across time where I defy gravity
And it's energy...

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away for now

What would the sentence be if I could say it all at once?
What would the sentence be if I could say it all at once?

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too...

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away (far away)
You are far away,
Far away for now

11. Grey

Grey skies cloudin' up the things we used to see with wide eyes
Maybe everything was meant to be this way
Will it ever change
Or are we stuck here on our own

It's all gone grey
It's all gone grey

I found telling you the truth the hardest thing to get out
I know it wasn't you that made me feel this way
Will it ever change
Or are we stuck here on our own

And given one more try
I don't know if I would stay
I feel so much better now
And baby begging me will leave you so empty inside
So you shouldn't even try

I know every last regret inside of me is my own
The Way I hold them close has made me be this way
I will never change
I know I'm stuck here on my own
My own

And given one more try
I don't know if I would stay
I feel so much better now

Where did we go wrong
I know you still hold on to me
God it's time that you let go
I gave you things I had
That I cannot get back again
But im better off alone

It's all gone grey
It's all gone grey
It's all gone grey

(Grey skies cloudin' up the things we used to see with wide eyes
Maybe everything was meant to be)

12. Words, Hands, Hearts

The whole world was sleeping and I was there.
You could just sense this feeling in the air
Like no one's words were good enough to define what we feared.
And no one's words were strong enough to fix what happened here, oh, oh.

Lead on to save me or lead us all there.
Find me some answers. One nation beware.
Can't tell the difference between myth and man,
Or what's necessary, or where I should stand.

The whole world is different, now men have died.
You could just sense this feeling in our eyes.
Like no one's hands are big enough to hold onto this fear.
And no one's hands are strong enough to fix what happened here.

Lead on to save me or lead us all there.
Find me some answers. One nation beware.
Can't tell the difference between myth and man,
Or what's necessary, or where I should stand.

So do we dare now raise our voices loud?
We're searching for something that cannot be found.
I hear open mouths. I see open hands.
But they're blinded and silent; I can't understand.

The whole world is watching with one blank stare.
I can just sense this feeling of ill repair.
Like no one's heart is full enough to keep away this fear.
And no one's heart is strong enough to fix what happened here, oh, oh.

Lead on to save me or lead us all there.
Find me some answers. It's time that you shared.
Can't tell the difference between myth and man,
Or what's necessary, or where I should stand.

So do we dare now raise our voices loud?
We're searching for something that cannot be found.
I hear open mouths and I see open hands.
But they're blinded and silent; I can't understand.

13. How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me, the stories exhaled

And I’m drying out, crying out,
This isn’t how I go…

I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said, “Life’s a circus, and so we are small.”
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all

And I’m drying out, crying out,
This isn’t how I go
Hurry now, lay me down
And let these waters flow, flow

Son, I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me

You keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like tympani drums
Keeping the time while the symphony strums

And I'm drying out, crying out,
This isn't how I go.
Hurry now, lay me down
And let these waters flow, flow
Let it flow (let it flow)
Let it flow (let it flow)

Son, I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son, I leave you now, but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is a part of you
