Duncan Sheik

listen to the waves
everything communicates
will it ever be
anything more than wishful thinking?

oh no there you go
looked away and missed the show
how much wasted time
will you survive?

feel the blades of grass
how it brings you back
it will always be
only as green as you can see

oh no there you go
looked away and missed the show
how much wasted time will you survive?
oh yeah fooled again
i don't know how and i don't know when
not much else to blame
but wishful thinking

little breakdowns
in coastal towns
they come suddenly
crashing over you
they come easily
i'm falling through the skies
and frozen places

oh no there you go
looked away and missed the show
how much wasted time
will you survive?
oh yeah fooled again
i don't know how and i don't know when
not much else to blame
but wishful thinking

and i try to realize that i needn't
look any further
the whole of the universe
is plain to see
and i try not to rely
on another world
or the future
the whole of the universe is a mystery

and it gets me over
yeah it gets me over

For you, there will be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
I feel that when I'm with you it's alright
I know it's right

To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
Cause I feel that when I'm with you it's alright
I know it's right

And the songbirds are singing
They know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all I wish you for myself

And the song birds are singing
They know the score
I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

For all the good you say it does
It feels no better when you've had your say
You may believe it's just because
The words get colder when you've gone away

I thought I understood
What I was to you

I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves

Some may fear committed lives
I sure am one of them without you
Does it come to you as some surprise
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you

Was it ever girl
Something you could hold...

I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves

I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves

I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room
and it's one of those moments
when everything is so clear

before the truth goes back into hiding
I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding
to work on finding something more than this fear

It takes so much out of me to pretend
tell me now, tell me how to make amends

maybe, I need to see the daylight
to leave behind this half-life
don't you see I'm breaking down

lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
is there really no escape?
no escape from time
of any kind

I keep trying to understand
this thing and that thing, my fellow man
I guess I'll let you know
when i figure it out

but I don't mind a few mysteries
they can stay that way it's fine by me
and you are another mystery i am missing

It takes so much out of me to pretend

maybe, I need to see the daylight
to leave behind this half-life
don't you see I'm breaking down

Lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
is there really no escape?
no escape from time
of any kind

come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
again

'cause lately something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life,
without you I am breaking down

wake me, let me see the daylight
save me from this half-life
let's you and I escape
escape from time

come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
again

Everyone's looking
Everyone hides
Everyone's telling, but everyone lies
They're changing the subject
They're turning away
Away from the heart of it all

You say you are happy,
That you think this is fun
But it's only a firefly to the light of the sun
You say this is living
You feel so alive,
Well, you know, everything dies

(chorus)
Even my wonder
Even my fear
Only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm
It's near and it's far
It flows through the heart of us

Welcome to another day
It don't seem that different 'cuz nothing has changed
Try to remember
Try to remember
When weren't just running in place

Reasons for living
Never come cheap
And even your best ones can put me to sleep
What I am saying,
Trying to say
Is that there must be a better way

(repeat chorus)

It's already in you
It's already there
You may disagree, but I don't really care

Did you ever find out,
You ever find out
What's at the heart of us?
Did you ever find out,
You ever find out
What's at the heart?

Tell me all your wildest dreams
I don't really care you don't know what they mean
Raiding the closets
The skeleton keys
You know, it's easier than you think

(repeat chorus)

Your reasons for living
Are all very fine
They're leaving me cold, though they're not really mine
Did you ever find out,
Did you ever find out
What's at the heart of us?

I don't know
I don't know, oh, oh

Did you come down to give me
Or take me away
I had so many things to tell you
But now I don't have much to say
This feeling like we're hiding out
Is getting in the way

Let's quit the town just look around
There's nothing here to keep us alive
If they try to run us down
You know I'm on your side
And I want you to be my alibi
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies
But we may be true

Did you come down to take me
Or give me away
I had so many things to ask you
Now you don't have much to say
And these alchoholic afternoons
Are getting in the way

Let's quit the town just look around
There's nothing here to keep us alive
If they try to run us down
You know I'm on your side
And I want you to be my alibi
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies
But we may be true
I want to be your alibi
Till the day we die
