Watch you when you say
What you are and when you blame
Everyone, You broken king
Watch you change the frame or
Watch you when you take your aim
At the sum of everything

[Chorus]
Cause you and your heart
shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass reflecting pieces of the sun
But you're not the flame
You got the people passing by
Because you know what you don't like
It's just so easy, it's just so easy

[Chorus]
But you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard
Oh and you and your heart
Shouldn't anekatips feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You draw so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you're gonna scratch any backs?
Better hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines and

Hope that time will take our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines away

. . .


I don't want you to go,
I don't want you to go.

But it's time to turn your love.
Give it back.
It's time to turn your love.
Give it back.
Give it back.
Give it back.

I don't want you to know,
Lets not go to sleep tonight.
It's not that it goes to fast,
It's just that it goes at all.

And it's time to turn your love,
Give it back.
x3
Give it back. x7

Why should I be sad?
When I'm just you?
Why should I be sad?
Baby, I'm with you?
Why should I be sad?
When I'm just you?
Why should I be sad?
Baby, I'm with,
Baby, I'm with you.
Baby, I'm with you.

And it's time to turn your love,
Give it back.
x3
Give it back. x13

No Good with faces and I'm bad with names
Gave me directions but it's all the same ah nah I'm lost
I'm too tired to try
Streetlamps are broken black the way I came
Who broke the moonlight watch it wax and wane ah na I'm lost
I'm too tired to try

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
There's no need for rain it's our own parade
Let's not be afraid of our reflections
It's not only you you're looking at now

Road signs are stolen left here hole in this flame
Who stay my patience who stole my way ah nah I'm lost
I'm too tired to try

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
There's no need for raid it's our own parade
Let's not be afraid of our reflections
It's not only you you're looking at now

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
There's no need for raid it's our own parade
Let's not be afraid of our reflections
It's not only you you're looking at now

Oooh you're looking at now
Oooh you're looking at now

No Good with faces and I'm bad with names
Gave me directions but it's all the same ah nah I'm lost
I'm too tired to try

. . .


Are they laughing at or with me?
Aww, baby, those are such great shoes
I think that I'm so happy now
And I think this is a bitter you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can't we just say what we mean?

People are just trying to fit in
But is this something telling you?
You can't just anyone in this town
Aww, baby, those are such great shoes
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can't we just say what we mean?

Don't put your money where your mouth is, baby
We don't wanna see you choke
Nobody's choking around here anymore
Nobody's broken any high score
No dancing shoes will touch this dusty floors
For such a long, long time
For such a long, long time
For such a long time

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Are they laughing at or with me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Why can't we just say what we mean?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (4x)

When I look up at the stars
As I walk in the night
Down the street by my house
It Feels good

When I look up at the stars
As I walk in the night
Down the street by my house
It Feels good

The light from the moon
Is afraid of the ground
So it falls behind spaces
And hides behind clouds

When I look up at the clouds
As they move through the night
With the wind
As I walk down the street

The light from the moon
Is afraid of the ground
So I step on the shadows
Of my own feet

. . .


Oh, you're such a pretty thing
I'll take you and I'll make you all mine.

I will steal you from this patient world
Let it chase us,
It could never take you back.

We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.

I know you know me well enough to know I'm lucky to have you.
But oh, it's just the little things,
The words that I should tell you all the time.

Like, You're so sweet to me,
When you beat me in double solitaire.
You're so sweet to me,
In a world that's not always fair.

We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.
We could watch it from the clouds,
We can't stop it anyhow,
It's not ours.

The more love that you feel,
The more your little heart will ache.
Love's the only thing that carries on,
It's the only thing this world can take.

This love is ours.
This love is oooooooo..

Oh, you're such a pretty thing,
I'll take you and I'll make you all mine.

Hey, little girl
You might not know this song
This another kind of song that you can sing along, [?]
Hey, little girl
Maybe someday
At least that's what all the good people will say
Hey, little girl
Look what you've done

You've gonna stole my heart and made it your own
Stole my heart and made it your own

Hey, little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song, I will sing to you
You don't ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don't have to feel any sadness
When you look back only is
How can I look you in the eyes?
And tell you such big lies
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl

You've gonna stole my heart and made it your own
Stole my heart and made it your own

. . .


I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go

But it's time to turn your love
Give it back (x2)
Give it back...

I don't want you to know
Let's not go sleep tonight
It's not that it goes too fast
It's just that it goes at all

And it's time to turn your love
Give it back (x3)
Give it back...

Why should I be sad when I'm just you? [?]
Why should I be sad? Baby, I'm with you (x2)
Baby, I'm with you...

And it's time to turn your love
Give it back (x3)
Give it back...

Give it back, give it back, give it back...

Some will say
This place is wrong
These hands are fast
This face is long

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These plans are torn
These feet are cold
This shield is worn
This peace was stolen

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep
And much too long
These plans are cheap
My feet are cold
Cut the knot
These coins are golden

Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you're standing on

These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you're asleep
They'll be here still
Breathing out or in

. . .


Everybody is made of clay
That's what they used to say
Until the truth stepped on us all
Now everything that was big is small
We're just little crying robots
Program me
I wanna win the race
I wanna find the place
Where the king
Locked up the princess
Jump the fence
And drink a little bit of...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now who is the king of the sky
Jupiter says oh me oh my oh why
Is the game always changing
I've been through some strangeness
what's the matter
Is the feast not fat enough
Up the ladder with your feet
Reaching with your hands
You can feel it and dream it
I know you want to believe it
Just steal it
Take a piece of the sun
And drink some...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Now everybody's in the play
At least that's what the script
Told me to say
It said:
Shadows cut across the hero's face
He falls from grace
Until a little bird sang:
The truth is never ending
We're just here pretending
Let's all laugh so that we don't cry
Let's all life our glasses up to the sky
For some...

Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the back ground of the picture
Was water running to the sea

So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures

The feed back loop
Is closing in so tight
Surrounding ourselves
With satellites

But I picture us standing there
Staying away from time
Just watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by

And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures.........
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing

. . .


If they tell me that the bees
Don't make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you
And if they tell me that the ocean
Is tired of her shores
Then tell me
What am I supposed to tell you

When I can't tell you anything
But the truth

When I can't tell you anything
But the truth

What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
How does the mama
Keep the baby warm
What if the wind
Is telling us that its time
And what if we're not ready to fly

I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth

Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing

But I can't tell you anything
But the truth

Buth I can't tell you anything
But the truth

What is this place
Who am I
Why did we come here

I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know

I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know

. . .


After all this time
After all of this season
After your own decision to go to the water for a reason
It's only the ocean and you
And all of this lines
Will all be erased soon
They'll go out with the tide
And come back with the waves
It's only the ocean and you

You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love but you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in

And this work is done
And this cold is dry
When this world's too much
It will be only the ocean and me
When this sales go off
Mountanis fade away
Stars come back
I'm finaly free
It's only the ocean and me

You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love but you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in

You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love but you don't hate
You just roll right over me
And you pull me in

And you pull me in...

You just roll over me
And you pull me in

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a, shoebox of photographs
with sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? and where do we go?
And how come we're so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together

Chorus:
MMM its always better when we're together
look at the stars when we're together
its always better when we're together
Yeah, its always better when we're together

And all of these moments
just might find there way into my dreams tonight
But I know that theyll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
but tomorrow night you see
that theyll be gone too
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find there way
into my day to day scene
Ill be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree

its always better when we're together
Somewhere in between together
its always better when we're together
Yeah, its always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is no time,
and there is no song I could sing
and there is no, combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing

. . .


Well I cant give you everything you want
But I could give you what you thought you need
A map to keep beneath your seat
You'll read to me in time I'll get you there
But fold it up so we don't find our way back soon
Nobody knows we're here

We could park the van and walk to town
Find the cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
And talk about the road behind
How getting lost is not a waste of time
The water mole will take us home
And in a moment we will sing as the forest sleeps

It's all for the sake of arriving with you
Well its all for the sake of arriving with you

Well I will make the table into a bed
The candle is burning down its time to rest
Can't take back things already gone
I could give you promises for keeps
And I would only take them back
If they become your own and you give them to me

And its all for the sake of arriving with you
Well its all for the sake of arriving with you

We could make this into anything
We could make this grow and become what we'll be
This could make us into anything
It could make us become more than what you see

Mhm hm hm hm hm hm
Mhm hm hm hm hm hm

Its just like it feels
