You Wanted to Wait
03:30
|
|
||
It's been a few days, no chance to talk about that
I've been tired of this, and I know you're waiting to shout
I almost moved out, it didn't feel like home – like everyplace I've been to
I head up for the town, I knew I had to come – sing the crowd, sing the crowd
Put this tank top back
You were ready to crack
I should have said something before it faded away
We end up living there, I know what you're gonna say
I have a disease and you were hiding behind
You should have taken some pills and a hike in my mind
I've been alone, since I can remember
Outside you're gone, didn't you wait for the Sun ?
I've been alone, way before you ran
When I was done, didn't find your answer
I've been alone, since it all began
Outside you're gone, you didn't wait for the Sun
I've been alone, way before you ran
By the time I was done, you've had your fun, I was alone
I've been alone, since it all began
By the time I was done, you've had your fun
I've been alone, since I can remember
Outside you're gone, didn't you wait for the Sun ?
I've been alone, way before you ran
When I was done, didn't find your answer
You wanted to wait, you wanted to wait, you wanted to wait for the Sun
You wanted to wait, you wanted to wait, but didn't you wait for the Sun
Didn't you wait, didn't you wait, didn't you wait for the Sun
I've been alone, since I can remember
Outside you're gone, didn't you wait for the Sun ?
I've been alone, way before you ran
By the time I was done, you've had your fun

By Surprise
03:22
|
|
||
Why did you leave today ?
Tell me something, no way
I guess we both knew
Please bring me back, try something new
A lie that once was told
You stuck by, you didn't mind the cold
A truth that twice was heard
It's always on the ice that you learned
What should I know ?
By surprise, I won't let you lie
Oh, my, you should be mine
We would never know the end
Sometimes it's best not to attend
I'm leaving too, there's no point to stay
Sometimes you don't have to display
By surprise, I won't let you lie
Oh my, you should be mine
By surprise, I won't let you lie
Oh my, you will be mine
By surprise, I won't let you die
Oh my, you're already mine
By surprise, I won't let you die
Oh my, you're already mine
By surprise, I won't let you die
Oh my, you're already mine
By surprise, I won't let you die
Oh my, you're already mine

In Front of Me
02:56
|
|
||
You were hiding in front of me
And though I wasn't scary
There was some rain falling around us
No one's around when you were crying
I sure as well began to ride
On your way you forgot to stay alive
I lied
For a long long time
A leap of faith and you're right here
A bunch of crap and you disappear
You were hiding in front of me
And though it wasn't scary
There was some rain falling around us
No one's around when you were crying
I sure as well began to ride
On your way you forgot to stay alive
I lied, for a very long time
Just a last drop, there's a way to stop
I sure as well began to ride
On your way you forgot to stay alive
I lied and ride
I lied and ride
I lied and ran
Ran and ran and ran...

Rust
02:54
|
|

You didn't ask, but you wanted to
Was this for real ? So out of the blue
You should call them, I swear to hold your hand
This time it really wasn't the same
I've made up my mind through this long long night
What should I know since you didn't tell me more ?
What should I trust when you say you're just going to rust ?
You will wake up, you will wake up and before us
You didn't wet my shirt when I hugged you
At least there was something I could do
Don't you cry, you're gonna fight and you'll be fine
They say it's tough, but you could defeat the odds, one more time
What should I know since you didn't tell me more ?
What should I trust when you say you're just going to rust ?
Heal me now, heal me now
Free me now, free me how ?
Never too late, believe me please
I know how to rest, follow me in

By Your Eyes
03:05
|
|
||
It was the night before you left
I'm sure it was for the best
Look at your eyes, they don't know how to cry
I changed my mind, opened them wide, kept lookin for a sign
How long were you gone ?
How come you were so long ?
Early morning and still no clue
I should be worried, turns out it's not you
When you'll be back, we'll need to sit and to chat
Around the block, outside the fog, into our flat
You won't start and I won't crack
God bless but I'm starting to pack
It's not our first time, but it will be the last
Grabbing my keys, breathing it out, taking off fast
How long were you gone ?
How come you were so long ?
How long were you gone ?
How come you were so long ?
How long were you gone ?
How come you were so long ?
All around, there was the sign, looking down and through the light
And the sky, all night, had brightened by your eyes
How long were you gone ?
How come you were so long ?

Too Late
02:50
|
|
||
Looking outside, don't know where you hide
In the bathroom, I'm sure you're in our tub
The house is so calm, you must not be home
And you left your dreams behind coz now it's too late
And you left me right away coz now it's fate
They say I'm a mess, you know I only believe what I see
My eyes have been closed for what seems like a million years
I don't know where to go, I'm lost, I'm done, I'm counting the cards
I should get out, just to breath and see His light
Never got why, you tried so hard to escape from your life
You needed to cry, but you couldn't say goodbye
And you left your dreams behind coz now it's too late
And you left me right away coz now it's fate
You left your dreams behind
You left me right away
You left your dreams behind
You left me just today
And you left your dreams behind coz now it's too late
And you left me right away coz now it's fate
Too late, no way, I can't hear the words you say
Open the gates, get away, you can hear me when I say
And you left your dreams behind coz now it's too late
And you left me right away coz now it's fate
Too late, no way, I can't hear the words I say
Open the gates, get away, you can hear me when

Before Dawn
03:05
|
|
||
Been around, been around here
I close my eyes to see who's near
Everyday, each night, I'm wondering about
Been here, done that, won't you help me out ?
There's nothing here by my side
Be careful if you try
There's nothing here by my side
Be careful if you try
Have you slept before dawn ?
Did you clean before cryin ?
Have you lost your crown ?
You remember the last time, how we were so much alike
A lot did change around this bay
So far, you wouldn't get your way
I missed my turn, I should have give it a thought
And now it's too late, is it too late or not ? - Is it too late or not ?
Have you slept before dawn ?
Did you clean before cryin ?
Have you lost your crown ?
You didn't forget last time
How dare you lose your mind ?
Why wouldn't you sleep at night ?
How dare you lose your mind ?
Why wouldn't you be alright ?
How could you lose it now ?
I mean, we fought and we lied
How can you lose it now ?
So close from the other side
Have you slept before dawn ?
Did you clean before cryin ?
Have you lost your crown ?
You remember the last time, how we were so much alike
Have you slept before dawn ?
Did you clean before cryin ?
Have you lost your crown ?
You did forget last time

Drive
03:58
|
|
||
Alone in my room, I've been waiting
For I don't know how long, I threw my watch away
Hang a sign on the door, don't knock unless you'll stay
At least try to smile
I know we're not alike, but I need you to tell me why
I need it to carry on, that's the end of the line
So close, but you wouldn't let me drive
And now, you don't know why I'm not fine, looking up to the sky
The Sun is playing with me
All around us there's the sand, and there always will be
Does it have to be you ? Anyone can scream
So close, but you wouldn't let me drive
And now, you don't know why I'm not fine, looking up to the sky
Tied up and tired
Lookin calm, feeling weird
It's time, and I know,
I know
So close, but you wouldn't let me drive
And now, you don't know why I'm not fine, save your words for tonight
So close, but I wouldn't let you go
And now, you don't seem to know who's right, I've been here myself once

Into Our Sea
03:55
|
|
||
You were leaving that day
All the reasons, all the things that you said
Couldn't believe a single one of them
Wait a second, maybe you shouldn't get on that plane
It's not at all how I thought it would end
Thinking it through, sitting on the sand
Running and running
So much to hide
Drowning and drowning
I'm not that wise
Calling and calling
No more faith in my eyes
It was pouring down with rain
Everything, everyone was crying your name
Your wrist once told me
But out of nowhere, you threw yourself in our sea
Running and running
So much to hide
Drowning and drowning
Such a big surprise
Calling and calling
No more faith in my eyes
Running and running
So much to cry
Drowning and drowning
Such a big surprise
No more light in my eyes

All Night
02:57
|
|
||
There's no light
It's still sleeping around
I leave behind the secrets of this night
It's still dark, they're still sleeping inside
Why am I awake ? It's been a while now
I need a place to rest and to hide
Sacrifice
Would you please throw the dice ?
The coffee's good and it helps me to stay alive
I've been here myself just once, and right now it's just dark
This is all you had
They got me out
They turned you in
Sacrifice
Would you care to throw the dice ?
It was a long night, it's all over now, no more messing around
The Sun reflects itself in the ocean of your eyes
Don't you mock me, I am here right now
They got me out
And they turned you inside
Sacrifice
You need to hide, I can't stand to be alright
All night, I've been drinking it all behind
This is the last time you leave, for Christ
Sacrifice
You need to glide, I can't stand to stay without
All night, I've been screaming it out of my mind

Alive
03:13
|
|
||
I look up to the sky
I leave my thoughts behind
I remember the last time
We should leave, we should ride
My head begins its fight
I swear I'm gonna leave it behind
I'm done listening to you
A few more miles and you'll be hi
I miss your eyes, I miss your thighs
How about dinner tonight ?
We were more than just some fight
Have you ever felt this alive ?
Let's try one more time
You're running by my side
I left my thoughts behind
High speed, down the line
We should leave, we must ride
Have you ever been alright ?
Have you ever felt alive ?
Have you ever kicked into overdrive
Have you ever slept at night ?
Have you ever felt alive ?
Have you ever felt alive ?
Have you ever been alright ?
Have you ever kicked into overdrive
Have you ever slept at night ?
Have you ever been alright ?
Have you ever kicked into overdrive
Have you ever felt alive ?
I left my thoughts behind
We should leave, we should ride
I left it all behind
We must leave, we must ride
