White Lies Album

I love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the saftey in the clouds out my window
i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneth these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying
so frightend of dying
relax yes im trying
this fears got a hold on me

yes, this fears got a hold on me

i love the quite of the night time
when the sun in the deathly sea
i can feel my heart beating as i speed from
then sense of time catching up with me
the sky set out like a pathway
but who decides which path we take
as people drift into a dream world
i close my eyes as my hands shake and when i see a new day
who's driving this anyway
i picture my own grave
cause fears got a hold on me

yes this fears got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down i wonder when i'll hit the ground
well the earth beneth my body shake
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
could it tremble stars from moon light skies
could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
i live on the right side i sleep in the left
thats why everythings got to be love or death

yes this fears got a hold on me

He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was always careless as a child.
And there's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
But a desperate fear flows through my blood,
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud.

Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.

I said I've got no time I have to go,
And I was more right then now I'll ever know.
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret,
And left him crying next to the chapels steps.

Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.

He said…

Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.

He said…

He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was careless as a child.
There's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud

Did I sit alone and ask about my future?
When you replied I just turned away
I've been searching through my books to try and find some truth
Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way

And if I made a promise, could I stay by your side?
Would you guarantee my safety?
And say that I'd be all right

But if Judgement Day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right and I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I'll think we'll be all right, girl

And I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People of the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!"
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in!
Need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times that I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
So I think my friendly sins are here to stay

And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind

And if Judgement Day started tonight at least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I think we'll be all right, girl

And I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!"
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in!
Need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

On the cusp of vessel 18
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops

I know you're sad I'm leaving
So this may hurt a little
But girl look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky

We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth

We thought about our loved ones
Tallied 50 on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave me in the Spring
The sun beat at the windows
Within an hour James had cracked
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings

Just give me a second darling
To clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill

I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon
Shone through cracks in your hair.
I shouted with passion,
"I love you so much"
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch.
You whispered "where are you?"
I questioned your doubt
But soon realised, you were talking to God now

You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low and let's kiss like we used to

I looked in the mirror
But something was wrong.
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone.
There was smoke in the fireplace
As white as the snow.
A voice beckoned gently
'Now it's time to go'
A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
"Don't touch me!" I screamed
"I've got unfinished business"

You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, and let's kiss like we used to

If you tell me to jump, then I'll die
In my dreams, I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams, I'm there

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

If you tell me to jump, then I'll die
In my dreams, I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams, I'm there

I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor of my fears with the nurse on the steps
I'm only going where you'll be someday, so don't say "Rest in peace" in your prayers

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hold you
Remember me
I hold you
Never pretend for me

I hold you
Remember me
I hold you

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never pretend for me

I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me

I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me

I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me

I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral,
He took the time out to be seen.
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch, that he'd been given by a magazine.

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon,
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again,
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small

Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel,
Passing through the sick streets where he was born
He said "Driver, what's happened to these buildings? They all look run down and so alone."

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,
Put the Do not Disturb on his door
When the maid came in the morning
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small

Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small

Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

Lights still in our eyes, we're leaving this whole fairground behind, it's a dream that's going cold.

Circus never dies, the act forever haunts these skies, i know we cannot stay.

Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.

This place used to gleam, i see it in my hopeful dreams, now i had to get away.
We move towards the stars, and all that we touch becomes ours, lets keep warm till it's day.

Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.

We'll head south, just hold my hand now. I feel like i'm casting off my clothes and i'm running through the snow towards the sunset and i'm always with you.

Keep on running, keep keep on running, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren't working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.

We'll head south, just hold my hand now, i feel like i'm casting off my clothes, and i'm running through the snow towards the sunset, where i'm always with you

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn't felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favourite fables which I'm yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I've got nothing to give

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died

I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back those promises I made to everyone
I'm falling through a ribbon last
Before I'd learned to run

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died
I almost died

don't lay a finger I said,
but he held her with (?)
kissed the crest of her lips and put his hand on her thigh
one million in a week
all the girls gonna go
I'd kill you in a second
he laughed yeah I know
I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
but it's not enough to win her back
as my tears hit the floor, he still said no
come on man give me some slack
I looked at the case, he said I'll show you her blood
I screamed down the phone line: so is this the price of love?

when I stare in your eyes I see the image of god
well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past 9 and said I've done all I can
he said you win some you lose some I feel bad for you man

he slammed down the phone, took his coat from the bed
she said what happens now, (?)
she said I love you, and pleaded for a hero to save
you knew deep inside that he planned it this way
I gave him my heart now he's left it to die
and I know I can't go back
he walks out the room, shouted see you around
she begged, come on give me some slack
you said, there's no hope but babe you can wait for that door(?)'
she screamed from the window, so is the price of love?
said is this the price of love?
said is this the price of love?

so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?

I heard an angels voice, singing in quiet prayer
It seemed to pull my heart, slowly straight up the stairs

I spent that night awake, though you lay fast asleep,
I saw a teardrop fall, gently down your cheek

You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you

I crept out of the house, and tip-toed to your room,
But found your body gone, and left was just a hollow tomb

I think at times like falling into the deepest sleep
I wake and try to move again but find my body's rendered weak
I feel that just like ...
There's ghosts out in the square tonight screaming i want my money back

You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you

I can't think straight,
I've been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

And misery is like a hearse,
cause you know where you're going,
There's crowds at the windows,
but no way of knowing,
who they got this time,
and who's going next,
she always leaves a letter
and signs off with an S.

I can't think straight,
I've been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

And misery is like a hearse,
cause I know where you're going
The waves getting higher
And I'm tired of rowing
She whispers in my ear
Sings the cold Black Song
Hold me a while longer
She won't be gone for long
And fetch the cargirl
I think it's time we got out of here
No brakes into the night
And we sang as my mistress
And we got a fine witness

Just drive to (...) lives.

Hang me up on your wall, above the coal fire
Keep your promises, keep your promises
Hang me up on your wall
You're such a cold liar, do what your father says
What your father says

I still remember your voice, it turns my blood cold
The kids are fast asleep, keep them fast asleep
Your soul still haunts these walls, like Taxidermy

There's no kiss of life's, no baby don't pretend
With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head
You can burn the money in the fireplace
You keep on telling white lies to the little kids
I think it's time they knew just what it means to live
You can burn your parents in the fireplace

I saw you run from the cold, out of my arms
Your mother cried for years, she cried for years
I saw you run through the cold, put ice in my heart
Now tell me all your fears, I'll be your greatest fear

You couldn't cut the smile from my face
Cause we're so proud today, we're so proud today
Our eyes will haunt these walls, like Taxidermy

There's no kiss of life's, no baby don't pretend
With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head
You can burn the money in the fireplace
You keep on telling white lies to the little kids
I think it's time they knew just what it means to live
Now burn your parents in the fireplace
