Glen Hansard [The Frames]

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you have a choice
You've make it now
Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take
me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along

Are you really here
or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams
from truth
for it's been so long
since I have seen you
I can hardly remember
your face anymore
When I get really lonely
and the distance
causes our silence
I think of you smiling
with pride in your eyes
a lover that sighs
If you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure
that you'd believe me
when others say I lie
I wonder if you could
ever despise me
when you know I really try
to be a better
one to satisfy you
For your everything to me
and I'll do what you ask me
if you'll let me be free
If you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me

Well
Ten years ago
I fell in love
with an Irish girl
she took my heart
but she went and screwed
some guy that she knew
and now I'm in Dublin'
with a broken heart
Oh broken hearted hoover
fixer sucker guy
Oh broken hearted hoover
fixer sucker
sucker guy
One day I'll go there
and win her once again
but until then
I'm just a sucker of a guy

So if you ever want somethin'
and you call call
then I'll come runnin'
to fight
and I'll be at your door
when there's nothing
worth runnin' from
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point
trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point
trying to stop it
You see
You're just like everyone
When the shit falls
all you want to do is run
away and hide all by yourself
when it's far from
there's nothing else
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point
trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talkin
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point
trying to fight it
When your mind's
your mind's
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
There's no point
tryin to change it
when your
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

So you ever want something
and you call call
then I'll come running

I think it's time we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy
and talking straight
The way is clear if
you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself
The little cracks they escalated
And before you know
it is too late
For making circles
and telling lies
You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies lies lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies lies lies
When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know
it is too late
For making circles
and telling lies
You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you'd slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies lies lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies lies lies
When will you learn
So plant the thought
and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go

And I love her so I wouldn’t trade her for gold I’m walking on moon beams I was born with a silver spoon And I’m gonna be free I’m gonna be free I’m walking on moon beams and staring out to sea and if a door close then a road for home start building and tear your curtains down for sunlight is like gold And you better be you And do what you can do When you’re walking on moon beams Staring out to sea Cause if your skin was soil How long do you think before they start digging and if your life was gold how long would you think you’d stay livin’? Hey And I love her so I wouldn’t trade her for gold

Walking up the hill tonight
and you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn't have to make
all those mistakes and be wise
But please try to be patient
and know that I'm still learning
I'm sorry that you have to see
the strength inside me burning
Where are you my angel now
don't you see me crying
And I know that you can't do it all
but you can't say
I'm not trying
I'm on my knees in front of him
but he doesn't seem to see me
But all his troubles on his mind
he's looking right for me
And I'm letting myself down
in satisfying you
And I wish that you could see
I have my troubles too

Looking at your sleeping
I'm with the man I know
I'm sitting here weeping
white the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the morning
I have to let you go
And you be just a man
once I used to know
And for these past few days
someone I don't recognise
This isn't all my fault hurt
when you realise

Looking at your leaving
I'm looking for a sign

You must've fallen from the sky
You must've shattered on the runway
You've brought so many to the light
And now you're by yourself
There comes a point in every fight
When giving up
like seems the only way
When everyone one has said goodbye
And now you're on your own
If you need somewhere to fall apart
Some where to fall apart
The rules of cain
the rights you've made
The owls that caw
for those to blame
The broken glass
the fool that asked
The moving arrow to stop
You must've fallen from the sky
You must've come here in the
pourin' rain
You took so many through the light
And now you're on your own
If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The ruins of man the bloody black
The fool that bull the prouder hag
The night the makes the rattle ask
The wolves that follow the outed man
The falling star the way we are
The vern
The rules that never ever multiply
You must've fallen from the sky
You must've come here on the wrong way
You came among us every time
But now you're on your own
If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The call you seek the basket case
The rules of thumb you have to break
The raging skull The rag to the bull
The nails that drag in either hand
Well I will make my worker that
I know this place
I know this time

You must've fallen from the sky

I can't wait forever is all that you said Before you stood up And you won't disappoint me I can do that myself But I'm glad that you've come Now if you don't mind Leave, leave, And free yourself at the same time Leave, leave, I don't understand, you've already gone And I hope you feel better Now that it's out What took you so long And the truth has a habit Of falling out of your mouth But now that it's come If you don't mind Leave, leave, And please yourself at the same time Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you came to now Leave, leave, Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave...

Breaking up in the station, a final train I don’t even know if I’ll ever see you again Is it a choice that we even have? Bang bang down on the piano ’til I smash the keys Listening alone with the melodies Everything’s gone and I don’t know where And the rule of thumb don’t apply anymore ’Cause the house is burning.... Trying to pull myself away I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape Trying to pull myself away Lately when I get lost there’s this thing I know Even the dogs have somewhere to go Everything comes if you just it be Work, work, brighten the corners that will never see Untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean I hope that the answer doesn’t come to late And the rule of thumb don’t apply on me ’Cause the table are turning Trying to pull myself away I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape Trying to pull myself away I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape Can’t escape Trying to pull myself away, everything’s gone Trying to pull myself away, everything’s gone

you have broken me all the way down down upon my knees and you have broken me all the way now you'll be the last you'll see and some fight you gave when i pushed you away from me and in the morning when you turn in i'll be far to see and you have broken me all the way down you'll be the last you'll see the what chance that we got when you missed it was shot for me and in the morning when you turn in i'll be out of reach and in the darkness when you find this i'll be far to see and you have broken me all the way down you'll be the last you'll see

Part of me has died and won't return and part of me wants to hide the part that's burned
once...once i knew how to talk to you once...once but not anymore
hear the sirens call me home hear the sirens call me home hear the sirens call me home hear the sirens call me home
part of me has died to watch you burn and the heart of me has tried but look what its become
once...once i knew where to look for you once...once but that was before once...once i would have laid down and died for you once...once but not anymore
hear the sirens call me home hear the sirens call me home hear the sirens call me home hear the sirens call me home...

I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand And if you have something to say You'd better say it now cause this is what you've waited for Your chance to even up the score And as these shadows fall on me now I will somehow Cause I'm picking up a message Lord And I'm closer than I've ever been before So if you have something to say say it to me now

I don't know you But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

And we'll walk down the avenue again
And we'll sing all the songs from way back when
And we'll walk donw the avenue again and the healing has begun

And we'll walk down the avenue in style
And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile
And we'll say babay didn't it all worthwhile when the healing has begun

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make lobe to you yes, yes, yes
When the healing has begun
When the healing has begun

When you hear the music ringin'in your soul
And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows
And it comes from the backstree rock & roll
and the healing has begun

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make lobe to you yes, yes, yes
When the healing has begun
When the healing has begun

We're gonna make music underneath the stars
We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
We're gonna sit there and play for hours and hours
when the healing has begun

But I'm glad that you've come
Now if you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don't understand, you've already gone

And I hope you feel better
Now that it's out
What took you so long
And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it's come
If you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you came to now
Leave, leave,
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave...

Breaking up in the station, a final train
I don’t even know if I’ll ever see you again
Is it a choice that we even have?

Bang bang down on the piano ’til I smash the keys
Listening alone with the melodies
Everything’s gone and I don’t know where

And the rule of thumb don’t apply anymore
’Cause the house is burning....

Trying to pull myself away
I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape
Trying to pull myself away

Lately when I get lost there’s this thing I know
Even the dogs have somewhere to go
Everything comes if you just it be

Work, work, brighten the corners
that will never see
Untangle the thoughts
that you know what they mean
I hope that the answer doesn’t come to late

And the rule of thumb don’t apply on me
’Cause the table are turning

Trying to pull myself away
I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape
Trying to pull myself away
I’m caught in a pattern and I can’t escape
Can’t escape

Trying to pull myself away, everything’s gone
Trying to pull myself away, everything’s gone

you have broken me
all the way down
down upon my knees
and you have broken me
all the way now
you'll be the last you'll see

and some fight you gave
when i pushed you away from me
and in the morning when you turn in
i'll be far to see
and you have broken me
all the way down
you'll be the last you'll see

the what chance that we got
when you missed it was shot for me
and in the morning when you turn in
i'll be out of reach
and in the darkness
when you find this i'll be far to see
and you have broken me
all the way down
you'll be the last you'll see

I'm scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
So much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached out to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now

cause this is what you've waited for
Your chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow

Cause I'm picking up a message Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before

So if you have something to say
say it to me now
