Our Lady Peace Album

You, looked at me as you walked in the room.
Like the red sea, you split me open.
Somehow I knew these wings were stolen.
All you did was save my life.

Tried to run but I couldn't move.
Well I paid for these concrete shoes.
Like a singer that sings the blues,
You saw hope in the hopeless.

I'm not dying.

All you did was save my life,
Pulled me out of that flat line,
Put the heartbeat back inside.

I'm not dying.

All you did was get me through,
I owe every breath to you,
Heart and soul unparalyzed,
All you did was save my life.

Save my life.

I'm not for sale, but I've been sold.
The more I hear, the less I know.
The lies are swallowed whole
In their insignificance.

The story's been told a million times,
But it's different when it's your life.
I won the lottery tonight,
The lottery tonight.

I'm not dying.

All you did was save my life,
Pulled me out of that flat line,
Put the heartbeat back inside.

I'm not dying.

All you did was get me through,
I owe every breath to you,
Heart and soul unparalyzed,
All you did was save my life.

Save my life.

I started to come around,
The dogs are backing down.

I'm not afriad to see,
The devil's gone underground.

This tightrope's been cut down,
And I can finally breathe.

You, looked at me as you walked in the room.
Like the red sea, you split me open.
Somehow I knew these wings were stolen.

I'm not dying.

All you did was save my life,
Pulled me out of that flat line,
Put the heartbeat back inside.

I'm not dying.

All you did was get me through,
I owe every breath to you,
Heart and soul unparalyzed,
All you did was save my life.

All you did was save my life.

Put the heart beat back inside.

All you did was save my life.

Put the heart beat back inside.

All you did was save my life.

A mother sets the dinner table
Sun crashes to the pavement yeah
A father working just to make ends
We spend our lives just trying to make sense of it

But I feel love
I feel the power
It comes to me in the darkest hour
And I want to feel it again

And this dreamland
The kids are alright
And the sky is blue
We all got wings
They know how to fly
I'm headed to the moon

The sun on my face
My head in the clouds
Time on my side
My feet off the ground
I'm not comin' down
I'm not comin' down

Summer ends the ocean dries up
A stranger dies and no one gives a fuck
I take a look over my shoulder
All my friends have gotten older, oh yeah oh yeah

But I feel love
I feel the power
It comes to me in the darkest hour
And I want to feel it again

The kids are alright
And the sky is blue
We all got wings
They know how to fly
I'm headed to the moon

The sun on my face
My head in the clouds
Time on my side
My feet off the ground
I'm not comin'

Change just to change
Break just to break
Blame just to blame
My head in the clouds
My feet off the ground
I'm not comin' down

And this dreamland
The kids are alright
And the sky is blue
We all got wings
They know how to fly
I'm headed to the moon

The sun on my face
My head in the clouds
Time on my side
My feet off the ground
I'm not comin' down yeah
I'm not comin' down
I'm not comin' down yeah
I'm not comin' down

Makin' plans for your escape
Get between all the ricochets
Assume positions in the sky
Fly away with the butterflies
Rest your head in pacific grove
Lose yourself down in Mexico
Wanna taste of the monkey brains
Take a bite man don't be shy

They're comin' after you
They're comin' after you
It's all you can do
They're comin' after you

Got your file and your DNA
Membership in the NRA
On the list with the FBI
Yearbook pics from the Junior High
Camouflage in your orange and black
Soar above all the ground attacks
Safe and sound on this coastal plane
Celebrate with the cheap champagne

They're comin' after you
They're comin' after you
It's all you can do
They're comin' after you

Generation's trying to find a home
A thousand miles away from what they know
It's time to go
It's time to go

Generation's trying to find a home
A thousand miles away from what they know
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go

They're comin' after you
They're comin' after you
It's all you can do
They're comin' after you

Alone in a crowd
A missing planet
You crash to the ground
You never planned it
It just happened this way
It happened this way

Stars in your eyes
If you believe in death you're certain to die
If you believe in love you're always alive
You're always alive
You're always alive

Here I am
Waiting for one last chance
Cause this time we got nothing left to lose
And everything is ruined
But the end is where we begin

You're lost in the clouds
I climbed a ladder but I can't talk you down
And all that matters is tomorrow today
Tomorrow today
Tomorrow today

Here I am
Waiting for one last chance
Cause this time we got nothing left to lose
And everything is ruined
But the end is where we begin

And the winds will lead us somewhere
And the winds will lead us somewhere

Here I am
Waiting for one last chance
Cause this time we got nothing left to lose
And everything is ruined
But the end is where we begin
Oh the end is where we begin
Oh

And we gotta know no no
We gotta know no no
We gotta know no no
Oh where to go

Every time I think of you
I feel the coldest chill
I think about your great escape
Novice with expert skills
It's painful when you were around
But it's bound to change

You're the ghost
And empty out these hands
You're the ghost
There's no turning back
No turning back

Every time these lights go out
I'm in this fire drill
With bloodshot eyes I stand on guard
This room is quiet and still
Was never one to lay any blame
For the story's the same

You're the ghost
And empty out these hands
You're the ghost
There's no turning back
There's no turning back

You're the ghost
And empty out these hands
You're the ghost
There's no turning back
Yeah there's no turning back
Oh there's no turning back
There's no turning back

I picked you up
I held you out
I love you
I love you
I placed you down
I held my breath
I wonder
Yeah I wonder
What I'd do
When you're not around

It's a fool's job to tell you
That this world was not meant for you
I see signs oh
And signs all around
Get through
You'll get through yeah

The moon strikes one
You rest your head
This refuge
Oh this refuge
The sun comes up
And life begins
There's danger
Oh there's danger
What I'd do
If you weren't around

It's a fool's job to tell you
That this world was not meant for you
I see oh
And signs all around
Get through
You'll get through

The human condition needs a hiding place
This human condition needs a hiding place
A hiding place

It's a fool's job to tell you
That this world was not meant for you
I see signs oh
And signs all around
You'll get through
You'll get through
You'll get through
Through
You'll get through

She said it's quiet
In the shadow of the sun
She looks tired
A life that's come undone
She turns turns turns turns

She likes hockey
And summers by the lake
We're not talking
Victims of my mistakes
I burn burn burn burn

If you walk out that door
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you
And my heart hits this floor
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you

And this silence
But it's never been so loud
I try to fight it
But the words just don't come out
I burn burn burn burn

If you walk out that door
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you
And my heart hits this floor
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you

There's no hiding
From your silence
There's no hiding

If you walk out that door
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you
And my heart hits this floor
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you

Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go

She says it's cold
And she says the sky's about to fall
How do you know?
Well she says the writing's on the wall

Everything I made has somehow broke
Every word I say I think I stole
I can't explain
But I won't give up the ghost

She looks like an angel
Talks like it's war
And the whole world has gone crazy
Gods got a little lazy
We're raising our white flags
And holding our breath
No retreat and no surrender

She's says it's late
Well come on we're headed for the sun
I said now wait
Ah this battle's just begun

Every line I've crossed has come undone
Everything I know is somehow wrong
I can't escape
And there's nowhere left to run

She looks like an angel
Talks like it's war
And the whole world has gone crazy
Gods got a little lazy
We're raising our white flags
And holding our breath
No retreat and no surrender

I could fall with you
Crawl with you
I go the fall with you
I break down these walls with you
Oh no

And this whole world has gone crazy
Gods got a little lazy
We're raising our white flags
And holding our breath
Oh we're trading our black hearts
For eggshells instead
No retreat and no surrender

We're not looking for trouble
I'm taking one on the chin
I don't know where I'm going
Or where to begin
Alone in this room
Thinking of you and
What could have been
The trouble that I've seen
The trouble got to me

There's no signs of life in here at all
The sound of quiet is deafening
I'll wait for you to call
There's no signs of life in here at all
The trouble that I've seen
The trouble won't get the best of me

Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la

Sending you out a signal
Over land over sea
From the top of the Great Lakes
Down the Mississippi
Alone in a room
Thinking of you
And those possibilities
The trouble that I've seen
This trouble got to me

There's no signs of life in here at all
The sound of quiet is deafening
I'll wait for you to call
There's no signs of life in here at all
The trouble that I've seen
The trouble
Oh the trouble that I've seen
And trouble won't get the best of me

There's no signs of life in here at all
The sound of quiet is deafening
I'll wait for you to call
There's no signs of life in here at all
Oh the trouble that I've seen
The trouble
Oh the trouble that I've seen
And trouble won't get the best of me

Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You keep getting ready for the big parade.
Oh, you shine your shoes and you fake a smile;
Salute the players with that famous style, 'cause
Keeping up has kept you in chains.
I was thinking that

If you know a way up
Then I'd like to go with you.
And we could put all our candles
Under that paper moon.
They just don't know anything at all.
They just don't know anything at all.

You find traffic jams and big TVs, and
Hipsters trapped in their own irony, but
You finally think about settling down.
Oh, you quit your job and sell your car,
You burn your clothes and pray to the stars, 'cause
You swore to God that you'd never end up this way.
I was thinking that

If you know a way up
Then I'd like to go with you.
And we could put all our candles
Under that paper moon.
They just don't know anything at all.
They just don't know anything at all.

At all, at all, at all, at all.

Comes a time when you get turned around,
Life itself just wears you out,
You keep getting ready for that big parade.

[No lyrics]

You don't know me, but I see you.
You've got your spotlight, of karma review.
I've seen it all before.
I keep comin' back for more.

You got your finger, on the trigger.
You got my heart hooked, line and sinker.
Happens every time.
You keep messin' with my mind.

'Cuz it's good for you,
And good for me,
And good for every body.

I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff.
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
And every body wants some, wants some.

You got your hard core, X rated.
You got your dance floor, it's complicated.
Seen it all before.
I keep comin' back for more.

'Cuz whats good for you,
Is good for me,
And good for every body.

I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff.
Your loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
And ever body wants some, wants some.

I know you got the right stuuf, the right stuff.
Your loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
And I'm not gonna give up, give up,
give up.

Miracles and fairy tales,
The devil in the small details.
I need you now, more tham before.

I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff.
Your loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
Every body wants some, wants some, wants some, wants some.

I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff.
Your loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
And Every body wants some, wants some.

I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff.
Your loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
And I'm not gonna give up, give up.

I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff.
Your loaded like a weapon, a weapon.
And every body wants some, wants some, wants some.
