Breathe
(2 AM)
2 AM and she calls me
'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel
my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter
just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through
the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right
at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all
here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump
the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass,
glued to the table
No one can find the rewind
button, girl.
So cradle your head in
your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
In May he turn 21 on
the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day", he sat
down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since
maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can
tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so
beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe
I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump
the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass,
glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind
button, boys,
So cradle your head in
your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
There's a light at each
end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're
just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've
made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning
around.
2 AM and I'm still awake,
writing a song
If I get it all down
on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life
it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked
in front of the crowd
Cause these words are
my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll
use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the
track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass,
glued to the table
No one can find the rewind
button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.
Paper Bag
She don't run from the
sun no more
She boxed her shadow
and she won
Said I can see you laugh
Through these bottle
caps
And this wire around
my neck aint
There for fun
But someday we'll all
be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful
Meanwhile I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I cant see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more
rain
And I can be me
Yeah they talk about
her
She smiles like shes
so tough
She says
"hey can you talk a little
louder,
I don't think my heart
is broken enough"
But someday we'll all
be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful
Meanwhile I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can't see
you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more
rain
And I can be me
Some days I wait in the
indigo
Singing that song on
the radio
I blame these puddles
on the rain
You know I gotta keep
these cheeks dry today
Gotta keep my cheating
strategy
And baby I'm gonna have
it made.
Satellite
Black and blue I chose
my way
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one
more broken season
To find reason for appeasing
you and
So I found my guiding
light
Lamp and flashing red
and white
Through a starry night
I'm better nowhere-bound
Than boundin on your
solid ground
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way
radio
Love might be just like
me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way
radio
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
All in all I feel the
same
Wishing on an airplane
Its callin stars by name
A lonely song of freedom
rings
In hope of someone listening
and
So I send my feeble flare
Through the silent arctic
air
Heading anywhere
Until at last i've finally
found
A place to lay my anchor
down
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishin on a two-way
radio
Love might be just like
me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
You never know never
never
Heaven help me I'm
Drownin and I can't save
me
Send some salvation
To keep me alive
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishin on a two-way
radio
Love might be just like
me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishin on a two-way
radio
Love might be just like
me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way
radio
Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhh
In the Rough
You say you fell while
holding diamonds in your hands
"It's your fault for
running, holding diamonds," I said
And I offer no sympathy
for that
I hear that it was you
who died alone
And I offer no sympathy
for that
Better off I sparkle
on my own
And someday love will
find me in the rough
Someday love will finally
be enough
I turned around 3 times
and wound up at your door
Now you say you know
all you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy
for that
I hear that it was you
who died alone
And I offer no sympathy
for that
Better off I sparkle
on my own
And someday love will
find me in the rough
Someday love will finally
be enough
I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think
that I'm crazy
I'm driving 95
And I'm driving you away
And I shine a little
more lately
Someday love will find
me in the rough
Someday love will finally
be enough
Someday love will find
me in the rough
Someday love will finally
be enough
I shine a little more
lately
Bleed
Well, it's been almost
a year to the moment
When I finally realized
it was over
And I knew that love
wasn't good enough
Of a reason for me to
stay
Well, I saw you yesterday;
you were drivin'
And I tried so hard to
forget
You were alive, and as
you passed by I began to cry
Over things that I did
not say
And hide underneath my
blankets and sheets
I'm finally free
I'm killin' the ghost
of you, and I'm close to
Awakening me
Yeah, yeah
So I'm takin' my heart
and I'm gettin' me out
And love's something
that I wouldn't wanna live without
So I'm takin' my heart
and I'm gettin' me out
On my own, my own, my
own
Well, it takes all of
my strength to be stable
And I force your insults
under the table
And if you were wise
you would compromise
And allow me to live
my way
'Cause I am not a force
to be reckoned with
And you don't have a
clue what you're messin' with
And you can't see to
the best in me
'Cause it's more than
your heart can take
And hide underneath my
blankets and sheets
I'm finally free
I'm killin' the ghost
of you, and I'm close to
Awakening me
I'm awakening me
I'm awakening me, yeah
I'm awakening me
So I'm takin' my heart
and I'm gettin' me out
And love's something
that I wouldn't wanna live without
So I'm takin' my heart
and I'm gettin' me out
On my own, my own, my
own
I'm takin' my heart and
I'm settin' you free
And, baby, now you're
just another song to me
And the edge of your
sword isn't sharp enough for me
To bleed
Na na na na...
Consider This
I've tripped again and
things are starting to get interesting
Don't give me choices
cause I can't decide
My mind is soaked in
words
I've come to terms with
all my insecurities
And purities no friend
of mine
And dreaming doesn't
do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm
alright
I'd rather take it and
forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another
fight
And you'll say its all
alright
I'll wait for the day
when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over
me
And feel what you only
see
But don't bother wasting
your time if you're trying to change me
You're kinda cool but
I know better than to break the rules
Of messin' with a lesson
that I'll never learn
I'll go from bad to worse
and later back to better
But I'll never better
bridges that I'm bent to burn
And dreaming doesn't
do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm
alright
I'd rather take it and
forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another
fight
And you'll say its all
alright
I'll wait for the day
when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over
me
And feel what you only
see
But don't bother wasting
your time if you're trying to change me
This is a warning (x3)
And dreaming doesn't
do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm
alright
I'd rather take it and
forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another
fight
And you'll say its all
alright
I'll wait for the day
when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over
me
And feel what you only
see
But don't bother wasting
your time if you're trying to change me
If you're trying to change
me
If you're trying to change
me |
Citadel
I'm sittin' on a citadel
Contemplating life
Making a point to waste
my time
I'm walking on clouds
Of white
What if I fall
What if I don't
What if I never make
it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can't
take
The city below the citadel
Holding my own hand?
Sittin' alone
I'm breakin' on the balcony
Breakin' window panes
Killing the pain of broken
hearts
I'm walkin' on clouds
I'm walkin' on stars
What if I fall
What if I don't
What if I never make
it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can't
take
The city below the citadel
Holding my own hand?
Sittin' alone
Holdin' on to something
That's keepin'me from
jumpin'
So afraid to go in alone
Holdin up this fortress
With imaginary forces
Longing for a life down
below
Wreck of the Day
Driving away from the
wreck of the day
And the light's always
red in the rear-view
Desperately close to
a coffin of hope
I'd cheat destiny just
to be near you
If this is giving up,
then I'm giving up
If this is giving up,
then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love
Driving away from the
wreck of the day
And I'm thinking 'bout
calling on Jesus
'Cuz love doesnt hurt
so I know I'm not falling in love
I'm just falling to pieces
And if this is giving
up then I'm giving up
If this is giving up
then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love
Maybe I'm not up for
being a victim of love
All my resistance will
never be distance enough
Driving away from the
wreck of the day
And it's finally quiet
in my head
Driving alone, finally
on my way home to the comfort of my bed
And if this is giving
up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up,
then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love
Forever Love (Digame)
On the ground
With my world
Upside down
I got a vision of your
face
And I must get me out
For so many memories
we've yet to make
God don't send to me
your angels
I just wanna hear you
say again
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my
soul
If I go
I'll know
When you smile
With those eyes
Baby it's like
You place a finger on
my heart
And your lips next to
mine
Make me think that maybe
heavens where you are
God don't send to me
your angels
I just wanna hear you
say again
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my
soul
And if I go
I'll know
La la la la...
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my
soul
And If I go
I know
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my
soul
And if I go
I'll know
In My Head
Under the weight of your
wings
You are a god and whatever
I want you to be
And I wonder if truly
you are
Nearly as beautiful as
I believe
In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I
need
And this make believe
will get me through
Another lonely nigh
Under the weight of your
wings
Should ever we meet on
your side of your stereo
I will pretend I know
not of your thoughts
And even the way that
they mirror my own
I'll take you away in
the way that you take me and go where I go
In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I
need
And this make believe
will get me through
Another lonely night
Fall away to the sound
of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool,
kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your
philosophies
And as I fall away to
the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool,
kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your
philosophies
And as I...
Oh...
I don't
Wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I'm out
Numbered in my head
I don't
I don't wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I'm out
Numbered in my head
My head...
In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I
need
And this make believe
will get me through
Another night
Yeah, your voice
You've got all that I
need
And this make believe
will get me through
Another lonely night
Lonely night...
Under the weight of your
wings
I make believe you are
all that I'll ever need
All that I need...
Catalyst
L.A. lights never shine
quite as bright as in the movies
Still wanna go
There's something here
In the way, in the way
that we're constantly moving
Reminds you of home
So you've taken these
pills
For to fill up your soul
And your drinking them
down with cheap alcohol
I might be inclined to
be yours for the taken
And part of this terrible
mess that you're making
But me, I'm the catalyst
When you say love is
a simple chemical reaction
Can't say I agree
Cuz my chemical, yeah,
left me a beautiful disaster
Still love's all I see
So I'm taking these pills
for to fill up my soul
And I'm drinking them
down with cheap alcohol
And you'd be inclined
to be mine for the taking
You're part of this terrible
mess that I'm making
But you, you're the catalyst
You'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the star
You'll be the road, rolling
below
The wheels of a car
And all of the thoughts,
oh god
Don't know if I'm strong
enough now
You'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the
Catalyst
These L.A. lights, no
no,
They don't shine quite
as bright as back in Frisco
Do you wanna go?
Still wanna go |
