Cryptic words meander Now there is a song beneath the song One day you'll learn You'll soon discern its true meaning An interesting detachment A listless poem of love sincere Desire, despair Overlapping melodies
And it's not a love, it's not a love It's not a love, it's not a love song It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
Oh now the roots are reminiscing Recurring dreams of minor chords Metred time Muted chimes find the beat
And in the pulse there lies conviction A steady push and pull routine The cymbals swell High notes flail into reach
And it's not a love, it's not a love It's not a love, it's not a love song It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, It's not a love, it's not a love song It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song...
Fill these spaces up with days In my room you can go you can stay I can't sleep i can't speak to you Now these years locked in my drawer I'll open to see just to be sure I can't sleep i can't speak to you And so i'm reaching out for the one And so i've learned the meaning of the sun And all this like a message comes to shift my point of view I'm watching through my own light As it tints the shade of you Hold my wine hold it in Nobody's lost but nobody wins
It's just a simple line I can still hear it all of the time If i can just hold on tonight I know that nothing Nothing survives Nothing survives I think i'm turned around I'm looking up Not looking down And when i'm standing still Watching you run Watching you fall Fall into me
Am i making something worthwhile out of this place Am i making something worthwhile out of this chase I am displaced I am displaced
And she's my friend of all friends She's still here when everyone's gone She doesn't have to say a thing We'll just keep laughing all night long All night long
Am i making something worthwhile out of this place Am i making something worthwhile out of this chase I am displaced I am displaced
It's just a simple line I can still hear it all of the time If i can just hold on tonight I know that no one No one survives No one survives.
You could go anywhere anytime and find someone But how will you know if he's kind The sun is out but happiness Only reminds you of the people you hurt Mistakes that you made when you were down And where are you now You're sweeping up these sorry streets And i knew somehow when you looked up and over me That you could look up these words But you still won't understand They mean nothing to you So write them in the sand And watch the water wash them away
You could sit on your front porch And watch the wasps dive down You could go out every night And force cheap beer down You could go all day And not make a sound
I wake up each morning Go to work at eight Come home for dinner Time to celebrate So i round up my friends We made it through another week We may not have much But we've got what we need So we go all night Until i see his face Then the party's over This drink has no taste He makes me lonely When he comes around I tried for years to beat this one down I've got all my friends Couldn't ask for more But he makes me lonely When he knocks on my door"
Today i'll crawl out of bed I can't stand your shadow is too heavy to lift Maybe we'll go for a ride You said you'd take me nowhere I said that suits me just fine I know you've always been near Whispering secrets i know i'm not supposed to hear Hold your heart with two hands Give it to me only to disappear Look how low i've sunk Don't ask me to rise I'll only lose you when i'm high All alone in the dark Love survives only when we are apart Your voice still sounds in my ears Soft explosions that blossom with the beat of my heart
We met on that wednesday night I was down but you were so bright I remember that wednesday night so well We played guitar all those afternoons Heard records on the floor of your room I knew that i would fall in love with you When you told me my surprise I looked and asked you why did you tell me now We were sitting in the chair You whispered in my ear Let's go home now I'm thinking of the 4th of july Holding hands looking up at the sky I remember the 4th of july so well
I know that you're always with me I feel the strength you're giving me I know this love will never die
With every word i live again Through the eyes of another We'll meet at night wet from the rain And surprise each other With how we take away the pain Could you be the one to find me safe and sound Love is how it's lost not how it's found I don't know those eyes But i see beauty there always I know it's wrong to love you from afar But it's a craze You recognize my pain Could you be the one to find me safe and sound
Fever i know you've come to take my love Go away Fever i know your face just like a dove Fly away Fever turn the lights out Take a different road Let us be Fever i know you've come to take my love Go away Fever i know in god i shouldn't trust He's so far away Fever turn the lights out Take a different road Let us be Fever take a different route Travel a different road Let us be Fever i know you've come to take my love Go away fly away go away
We're the same We're five years old Still trying to change this mold In the open air i'm cold No purpose no reasons told And while i'm waiting for something to say I'm here in vain I picked up this broken key I'll love no one and let no one love me I'll wait for morning before opened eyes No one's crying not yet realized And in the meantime i have nothing to say I'm here in vain
And the angels had watched over you As you crossed over the bridge And your mother how she wept for you On the day you turned your heart And when your blood is gone how will you survive And your dreams they don't stay in your mind They are hiding in the night And you think that this will be alright Because the lord he was here at one time But when your blood is gone How will you survive
i'm saving all i'm not giving but it's overflowing evaporating in the air as i'm walking and no i'm not breathing i'm not breathing only air cuz it's filled with words once spoken by people everywhere and i can hear all the whispers that have lived a thousand years it just took me being open for them to reach my eager ears now they've reached my eager ears and i hope i'll be ready when my life when my life divides when my life divides
It's all in the eyes The reckless way we dream to die Our past is our future The present lies Somewhere between our hearts and minds For those with no future We'll touch hands on the street Smile and keep moving on towards the heat So keep this a secret our lot in life They are elephants we are mice We'll walk this earth somnambulant kin With broken hearts that cannot mend Losers first and second men We'll do our best to blend in You could reach out for my hand and i yours Deliver water to soothe the burn We'll drink our tears and thirst for more It's our lot in life They are elephants we are mice So keep this a secret Keep this a secret We are mice
now I've traveled across the ocean with the same shoes just longer hair still carry that picture in my wallet from the photo booth yeah it's still there
just give me some kind of sign is this the right place or the right time? is this the right time?
now I've landed in the midwest where you lived so long ago remember I was always freezing and now I'm covered up in snow
just give me some kind of sign is this the right place or the right time? is this the right time?
It's all in the eyes The reckless way we dream to die Our past is our future The present lies Somewhere between our hearts and minds For those with no future We'll touch hands on the street Smile and keep moving on towards the heat So keep this a secret our lot in life They are elephants we are mice We'll walk this earth somnambulant kin With broken hearts that cannot mend Losers first and second men We'll do our best to blend in You could reach out for my hand and i yours Deliver water to soothe the burn We'll drink our tears and thirst for more It's our lot in life They are elephants we are mice So keep this a secret Keep this a secret We are mice
Let's talk and we'll fill the air The imagery that lasts forever So this is love and that's a lovely thought You have to care for it to keep it together
And if you fall, will you get up Stuck in a dream, will you wake up And if you've found love will you hold on to it And if it's cold, will you stay warm Drift too far, will you swim towards the shore And if you've found love will you hold on to it
Let's just sing and we'll fill the air The melodies that blend together I speak so sweet of words so delicate Like the glass I hope will never shatter
And if you fall, will you get up Stuck in a dream, will you wake up And if you've found love will you hold on to it And if it's cold, will you stay warm Drift too far, will you swim towards the shore And if you've found love will you hold on to it
It's all in the eyes The reckless way we dream to die Our past is our future The present lies Somewhere between our hearts and minds For those with no future We'll touch hands on the street Smile and keep moving on towards the heat So keep this a secret our lot in life They are elephants we are mice We'll walk this earth somnambulant kin With broken hearts that cannot mend Losers first and second men We'll do our best to blend in You could reach out for my hand and i yours Deliver water to soothe the burn We'll drink our tears and thirst for more It's our lot in life They are elephants we are mice So keep this a secret Keep this a secret We are mice
Riding on these waves, holding on to what you say, "Everything will be okay, it will work out one way."
But I've drifted way too far, my arms, my legs, have grown too tired. And could you be inspired? No, I'm just tired.
And on a swing you push me hard, so I'll come back to where you are. And you know I'm never far. No decisions, nothing hard.
And I knew that it would rain tonight, I'll take the bus or the next flight. I won't give up on what feels right.
If you see these tears filling my eyes, it's just the wind that makes me cry. If you could feel this pain inside, it's from the drinks we drank last night. It's from the drinks we drank last night.
And the shadow of our past, projects on clouds of dust and gas. Wounds where my eyes will rest, the silhouette of loneliness.
If you see these tears filling my eyes, it's just the wind that makes me cry. If you could feel this pain inside, it's from the drinks we drank last night. It's from the drinks we drank last night.
now I've traveled across the ocean with the same shoes just longer hair still carry that picture in my wallet from the photo booth yeah it's still there
just give me some kind of sign is this the right place or the right time? is this the right time?
