Powderfinger Album

Everyday feels the same
the bomb keeps ticking 'til the routine breaks
Anyway's the same for you
break another glass then I come to the rescue

Paint yourself into this picture
Wait there for the blast to hit you

Will you come back down, head up in the clouds?

Everyday fills in time
four red cars in a super good red line
Anyway to break on through
make another mess and i come to the rescue

If you lay a finger on him
He'll scream his lungs out without warning

Will you come back down, head up in the clouds?

first you made me stumble
then you made me fall
I'm holding up the tumbling walls

Tonight my heart well it broke like glass
I made a mistake that I'll never surpass
I'm floating in space unattached to the world
I cast off the memory of the spell of that girl
Whatever i get i guess it's what I deserve

I don't remember
Just what made it so hard before
I know you needed someone to take the fall
I know you needed someone to blame it on

I smashed the mirror just to look what's behind
Picked through the pieces just to see what I'd find
I found my heart and it broke like glass
I made that mistake that I'll never surpass
I let go of my grip on the past

I don't remember
Just what made it so hard before
I know you needed someone to take the fall
I know you needed someone to blame it on

Hey, hey don't you look away
Hey, hey I've got something to say

Oh, I was sick and tired of waiting lost
and you were mad at me for so much more
I was bored listening to the same old chords
you would complain that I was never around

And we shouldn't hope
no we shouldn't hope

If love is so easy then why am I stuck?
If life is so smooth why can't I get enough?

Oh, I'm still Lost and Running
I can't get enough
No, I'm still Lost and Running
I can't get enough

Oh, every day moves like a hurricane
it's draggin' me around no matter what I say
Night time in the city streets I'm outta luck
the cobblestones are darkened where there's no-one I trust

And it comes around
Yeah, it comes around

It's just so easy to say "where have you gone"
I'm looking for somewhere where I can lay down my arms

Oh, I'm still Lost and Running
I can't get enough
No, I'm still Lost and Running
I can't get enough (repeat)
Somewhere I lay down my arms
I can't get enough

I'm takin' my time I let it float away
tellin' no lies and you got nothin' to say
the further we slip into this rabbit-hole
the harder we look for a new place to go

Oh, I'm still Lost and Running
I can't get enough
No, I'm still Lost and Running
I can't get enough (repeat)
Somewhere I lay down my arms
I can't get enough
(Well the harder we look for a new place to go) repeat to fade...

I never really thought to say
That whenever you set free
Your devil smile on me
I melt
It's been a long time between
When you first let me in
Got underneath my skin
It's an echoing empty room
Until your love pours in
And fills it to the brim
I never felt the hook go in
Until you came around
And broke me right back down.There's just one thing that I failed to tell you
I'm wishing on the same moon and stars above you
We're wishing on the same moon

Hear me now I'm calling out for you
Pleading for your love
You're falling from my view and there's nothing I can do

I'm waiting in the afternoon
For the sun to sink
And let the night back in
It's when I feel close to you
When the stars they swoon
And bring their night time bloom

There's just one thing that I failed to tell you
I'm wishing on the same moon and stars above you
We're wishing on the same moon

Release me from this struggle to be free.
Take my hand,
lead me to the promised land of your love
Step outside of this superficial life
Put your pretty lips on mine
Kiss me one more time and I'm gone

Who really cares?
Who really knows?
About these agents of despair and their thrown together prose?

Release me from this struggle to be free
I'll break my plans to be in the gentle hands of your love
When you're by my side in these superficial times
Put your little hand in mine
Kiss me one more time and I'm gone

Who really cares?
Who really knows?
About these agents of despair
and their thrown together prose
Let them have his head
He's harmless you know
Watch him let you down
and leave you hanging on a rope

I wont be fooled by your devious ways
Your ingenuine fears and your ingenuine pain
I look a wreck but somehow you look fine
You come to me
and ask me to ease our troubled mind
I won't be fooled again.....

Who's gonna pick you up
Who's gonna bend your rules
Who's gonna be your prop
Who's gonna play your fool

Nobody knows just how it feels today
Nobody sees how our hearts break

Who's gonna watch your back
Who's gonna reel you in
Who'll make surprise attacks
Who's gonna be there at the end

Nobody knows just how it feels today
Nobody sees how our hearts break

Nobody sees how our hearts break

Nobody sees how our hearts break

(Bridge)

Nobody knows just how it feels today
Nobody sees how our hearts break

Who's gonna bring you round
Who's gonna let you sleep
Who's gonna break your frown
Who's gonna fall down at your feet

Nobody knows just how it feels today
Nobody sees how our hearts break

I'll stand at your shoulder
I'll keep you running right
Keep you running right

I'll fight in your corner
I'll stay by your side
I'll stay by your side

There's no need now to worry
Our love's still here tomorrow

We're too old to worry
About who's wrong and who is right
It's all so by and by

People need a villain
Someone to pay the price
It keeps them satisfied

There's no need now to worry
I'll still be here tomorrow

There ain't no use in crying
For whats keeping us divided
Baby we're still trying
We're still trying

Baby we're still trying
Baby we're surviving

I'll stand at your shoulder
Baby we're still trying
I'll keep you running right
Baby we're surviving
Keep you running right

I'll keep you running right
Baby we're still trying
Keep you running right

I'll keep you running right
Baby we're surviving
Keep you running right

Don't look back just decide and move on
Cause you're wasting my time girl we just don't get on
Don't wait here for the climate to change
Picking over the bones of the love that remains

I feel I've got such a long way to go
We got lost on the winding road
I feel its just such a long way through
So if you let go of me then I'll let go of you

Don't resist just relax and let go
You can tend to the seed but you can't make it grow
Don't invent a new way to hold on
'Cause your testing my patience you just don't belong

This time I'm gone
This time I'm gone

I feel I've got such a long way to go
We just got lost on the winding road
I feel its just such a long way through
So if you let go of me then I'll let go of you...

Fragile little thing go lightly on the wing
Don't be put off your game
If troubled wind should blow you off your way
Natural love and trust
Have drowned their tools and struck
That the nation's heart it rusts is no surprise
And seems so appropriate today

Black tears on a red rock
Fall right through and they dry up
How could it fail to grab your attention
Black tears on a red rock

These trees bear a strange fruit
Harvesting lies and poisoned blossoms of the truth
There's blood on all our hands and blood on our boots
And black tears on a red rock

An island watch house bed
A black man's lying dead
An island watch house bed
A black man's lying dead

Run little rabbit, can't break the habit for none
Shapes like a rocket and shoots like a pocket gun
Every mothers son has spent a lifetime on the run One by one and two by two
Our hearts beat a rhythm true
Wave goodbye now baby blue
You're exploding like a star into the gloomI thought I could shut you in
You said "Baby let me out"
I thought that I could pick you up and roll you like a diceThere's hitchhikers thumbing on the verge of the lonesome highway
But we just roll on by with the top down, the sun's out
I'm so glad when you came along you happened to be going my way
The wheels roll round and roundOne by one and two by two
Our hearts beat a rhythm true
Wave goodbye now baby now baby blue
You're exploding like a star into the roomI thought I could shut you in
You said "Come on pull me out"
I thought that I could pick you up and roll you like a dice
When I'm close to you, here they come
They're coming one by one coming two by two
They're coming one by one coming two by twoIf I ever let you down – don't turn me away
I never meant to spin you round
If anybody comes to do you harm or pin you down – I'll take your place

Don't go too deep into the flood
Don't stare too long, you'll poison my love
Don't shut me out, don't hold it all in
Don't let my venom get under your skin

Cause every word and every turn
Every sign points to your hurt
With every hour you're drifting further away

Come make your peace, come find your way
Come lay your wreath at the alter of change
Don't lose your step, don't break the bones
Don't shoulder the burden out there on your own

Cause every word and every turn
Every sign points to your hurt
With every hour you're drifting further away

Don't banish me then bid me home
Then tell me where I came undone
Don't harbour love like it's all your own
Don't linger over what you've done
Don't sink underneath the weight of
when you're trying to carry way too much

And you never should have let go
You could have joined the whole show
I never should have let go
I never should have let go

Cause every word and every turn
Every sign points to your hurt
With every hour your drifting further away

Now you're drifting further away
Now you're drifting further away
Now you're drifting further away
