You're so quiet
But it doesn't phase me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy

And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
By every fire is a lesson learned

I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would

Let's tie words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house...

But I wish I could feel it all for you...

It's time to come clean
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you...

I'd do it all for you, I would

. . .


Oh, oh, starry eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars, and then I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in, and throw out my heart and get a new one

Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

So we burst into colors
Colors and carousels
Fall head first
Like paper planes in playground games

Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry eyed

Next thing we're touching

Hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

. . .


Who are we to be emotional
Who are we to play with hearts
and throw away it all
Who are we to turn each others heads
Who are we to find ourselves
in other people’s beds
I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy
to cry for help
I don't think you know me much at all
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
I'm feeling down about this love
Who are you to make me feel so good
Who are we to tell ourselves
that we're misunderstood
Oh who am I to say I'm always yours
Who am I to choose the boy that
everyone adores
I don't see a reason why
we can't just be apart
Now we're falling on each other
like we're always in the dark
I don't think you warned me much at all
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is not what you want
This heart will never be yours
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

. . .


Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys(x2)

You left your blood stain on the floor
You set your sights on him
You left a hand print on the door,
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before (boys boys boys boys)

This is our luck, baby, running out
Her clothes were never off
We still have hours to run about
To scale the map, scale the map, to get us back on track
I've seen you in a fight you lost, Ive seen you in a fii-ii-ii-ii-ght

(chorus)
Were under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
Were under the sheets and you're killin' me

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys(x2)

In here the world wont bring us down
Our plan is golden
Out there a lonely girl could drown
In here were frozen

Where did the people go?
My hands are empty
You're not the answer I should know
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,)

(chorus)

Were in a mess baby, were in a mess babe
Your more is less babe (oh, oh)
Were in a mess baby, were in a mess babe
Your more is less babe (oh, oh!)

(chorus)were under the sheets and you're killin me
In our house made of paper, and you're words all over me
We're under the sheets and your killin' me
(Ive seen you in a fight you lost)
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
Were under the sheets and your killing me
Our house full of paper and you're words all over me
Were under the sheets and youre killing me
(oh you're killin me, your killin me!!)

Were under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
Were under the sheets and you're killin me
(killin me, killin me, killin me)
Killin me, killin me, killin me

. . .


You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
You're changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be

We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent
What's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it
You're wearing thin

But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

Sat on your sofa
It's all broken spring
This isn't the place for
Those violent strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do

But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows

Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
Won't you try to help me?
Won't you try to help me?

. . .


Every time you go, go, go, go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Every time you go, go, go, go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It starts with a picture and it sits in your frame
And we part with a letter and it ends in my name
And it starts with forever and it end with a touch
And I know that you're clever and I don't ask for much

Ooh...

Maybe we forgot all the thing we are
When we are together

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You said I'm arresting, you said I had heat
I really thought that we'd go further the second time we meet
'Cause I'm tired of trying to keep you - all I want to do is sleep
And perhaps when I'm sleeping you'll get back on your feet

Ooh...

Maybe we forgot all the thing we are
When we are together

Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall every time you go
Tape me up then break me up
Every so gently when I'm at my weakest
It's not so hard every time you go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I run a mount to meet you when I knew the storm had come
And I felt the rain on your face and the damage you had done
I know what you're thinking - it will never be the end
And when the storm is over, you won't see me again

Ooh...

Didn't the price I'd paid for all the times I stayed
When we were together

Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall every time you go
Tape me up then break me up
Every so gently when I'm at my weakest
It's not so hard

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
Or maybe we forgot

Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall every time you go
Tape me up then break me up
Every so gently when I'm at my weakest

Wake me up, wake me up
Stop my fall every time you go
Tape me up then break me up
Every so gently when I'm at my weakest
It's not so hard every time you go

Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on
When when men look outside, do they see houses
Instead of the fields they grew from
We are Constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and fearful
Can you get up right now, endeavor to freefall (Off)

You can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found
And it has been found wondering around

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Patterns all aranged in my background
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form
Letters were all sent with no addresses
So that people can't discover
Always undercover
Why do I always draw triangles
Instead of words this paper so deserves

You see
I don't own my clothes but I own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
But it's what you find.
I don't own my clothes but I own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
But it's what you find.

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Cos you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found
And it has been found wondering around

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

. . .


Take cover
Signs don't show
You drove me off the road

But you let go
Cos your hope is gone
And every question fades away

It's a shame you don't know what you're running from
Would your bones have to break and your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time to hear you heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
You know this is your biggest mistake

You tread water
Fighting for the air in your lungs
Move
Move closer
Maybe you can right all your wrongs

But you let go
Cos your hope is gone
And every answer fades away

IT's a shame you don't know what you're running from
Would your bones have to break and your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time to hear your hearts false start?

Wipe the mud stains from the face stop the engine
Stop pretending
Wipe the mud spray from your face stop the engine,
Stop pretending, that you're still breathing

. . .


Breathe air you're not used to, tread floors you don't fall through
Make waves...
You crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days, in foreign places
She'd lights, on your better side
Reassure me that you'll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes!

And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath

Until you see me in your dreams
WE'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Thsoe fears we'll blow them all way

Fight fires in your best clothes, touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder...
With the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wonder to the next town
Force quit, on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young,
That we're still too young and I'll my tongue

Until you see me in your dreams
WE'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Thsoe fears we'll blow them all way

I'm here, I'm here to save you
No fall, I will swim to save you

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all way

. . .


You're sharp as a knife
And you fit like a glove
That is no way to live
That is no way to love
Full of fear in your skin
And the weakness in giving in

You're stabbed in the back
But you feel no pain
Push the heaviest doors
That you can't open
Yeah, they tied me up
And my body lies still again

You're as bright as the sun
And as cold as the moon
I don't know when you'll break
But it's gonna be soon
If my will caves in
I'll be in the same boat as you

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning
Wars they created just to understand
The meaning

Hands on strings
And my mouth open
Find the perfect words
That I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth
Unless you want me to

For all of the times
That I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor
And I found it again
But when it came back
No, I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning
Wars they created just to understand
The meaning

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning
Wars they created just to understand

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning
Wars they created just to understand
The meaning

. . .


I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope they'll still be there
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In another place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone

Home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

If a plane crashed into my room
I wouldn't even flinch
I couldnt try to move
My mind is on you
My mind is on you

If the streetlight smashed above me
I wouldnt move an inch
Turn the glass into stars
And your face is the moon
And the night turns to you
Cos my mind is on you

You've got me caught in a place
Panic for a minute
Got my brain in a daze
I wish you weren't in it
There are so many ways
To lose your attention
You can break everything
But so I can take anything

I can take anything
I can take anything

If electric charges shock me
I smile and fold my arms
I feel nothing new
Because my mind is on you

My mind is on you

And if the floor gives way to my shoes
I wouldn't try to fly
I cant explain why I feel
I always feel you

I always feel, always feel you

You've got my caught in a place
Panic for a minute
Got my brain in a daze
I wish you weren't in it
There are so many ways
To lose your attention
You can break everything
But so I can take anything

Your the heat in my bones
But you break me with stones

You're the heat in my bones
But you break me with your stones

If a plane crashed into my room
I wouldn't even flinch
I couldnt try to move
My mind is always on you
My mind is always on you

Caught in a place
Panic for a minute
Got my brain in a daze
I wish you weren't in it
There are so many ways
To lose your attention
You can break everything
But so

Even when I'm caught in a place
Panic for a minute
Got my brain in a daze
I wish you weren't in it
There are so many ways
To lose your attention
You can break everything
But so I can take anything

It's a little bit funny
this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money
but boy if i did
I'd buy a big house where
we both could live

So excuse me forgetting
about this things I do
see i forgotten if
they're green or they're blue
anyway the thing is
what i really mean
your eyes are the sweetest eyes i've ever seen

and you can tell everybody
this is your song
and maybe quite simple but
now that is done
I hope you dont mind, i hope you dont mind
that i put down in words
how wonderful life is now your in the world

if i was a sculpture
but then again no
or girl who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but
it's the best i can do
A gift is my song and
this once is for you

and you can tell everybody
this is your song
and maybe quite simple but
now that is done
I hope you dont mind, i hope you dont mind
that i put down in words
how wonderful life is now your in the world
