All New Lyrics
Breathe in, breathe out,
Tell me all of your doubts,
& Everybody bleeds this way,
Just the same.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Move on and break down,
If everyone goes away i will stay.
We push and pull,
& I fall down sometimes,
I’m not letting go,
You hold the other line.
Cause there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes.
Hold on hold tight,
From out of your sight,
If everything keeps moving on, moving on,
Hold on hold tight,
Make it through another night,
& everyday there comes a song with the dawn,
We push and pull and I fall down sometimes,
I’m not letting go,
You hold the other line.
Cause there is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Look left look right,
To the moon in the night.
& everything under the stars is in your arms.
Cause there is a light, in your eyes in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
This whole city’s black and white
Tell me what is your color.
Could it be the same as mine?
Faded greens and blue street lights,
There’s a red fire burning
In the sea up to the sky.
I don’t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I’d feel the rest of my life
You don’t want a waste another minute to realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Baby it is you, that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won’t you just stay?
Won’t you just stay?
I’m on the top step looking down
And their coming up to me
It’s where the whole world wants to be found
Golden rings and coffee brown
There’s white flag waving
Where my heart is on the ground.
I don’t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I’d feel the rest of my life
You don’t want a waste another minute to realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Baby it is you that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won’t you just stay?
Won’t you just stay?
Won’t you just stay now
With the lightpoles
Over a dark street
No one else knows
So take my hands
I’ll carry you, you can carry me.
‘Cause I don’t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I’d feel the rest of my life
If tonight is your last train out of here
How you gonna run like that? How you gonna run like that?
If this one life, one love left here to share
How you gonna turn your back? How you gonna turn your back?
And I don’t care if everyone knows what we’re going through
‘Cause all the roads lead back to you
On and on and on we pray, we can break into a brighter day
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy
On and on and on we go, I don’t understand this windy road
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy
If there’s one thing that I need to hear from you
Is how we gonna see this through, how we gonna see this through
If there’s one thing that I know to be true
Is that I’m in love with you, is that I’m in love with you
And I don’t care if everyone knows what we’re going through
‘Cause all the roads lead back to you
On and on and on we pray, we can break into a brighter day
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy
On and on and on we go, I don’t understand this windy road
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy
And we’ll keep on, keep on climbing on down this narrow line
So we can see the other side, the other side
On and on and on we pray, we can break into a brighter day
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy
On and on and on we go, I don’t understand this windy road
Nothing worth anything ever goes down easy, goes down easy
Goes down easy, goes down easy, goes down easy
This moment right here is one we can’t suspend
Your breathe and mine tells me just where I have been
You know the song of long lost cause
We’re running in circles and coming back again
Now could I go the long way
Taking the easy way down?
If I was wrong would you show me
Where all that I lost can be found?
‘Cause you can shoot me straight
Straight to the heart ’cause you already have it
Say what you wanna say, we’re coming out of the gray
What goes around now is coming back down today
You can shoot me straight away
Don’t wanna fight and you don’t wanna lose control
We’re losing light and the night is getting cold
Everyone wants to hear their story told
We’re not the only ones, we’re not the only ones
And now could I go the long way
Taking the easy way down?
If I was wrong, would you show me
Where all that I lost can be found?
‘Cause you can shoot me straight
Straight to the heart ’cause you already have it
Say what you wanna say, we’re coming out of the gray
What goes around now is coming back down today
You can shoot me straight away
And you wanted to fly and leave it behind
But you know it’s gonna come back one day
‘Cause you can shoot me straight
Straight to the heart ’cause you already have it
Say what you wanna say, we’re coming out of the gray
What goes around now is coming back down today
You can shoot me straight away
I’m caught in a moment out in the rain
Tell me there’s something we can say
Help me to find a light
Something that’s worth living
Shes walking the backbeat out in the grave
Tell me there’s something we can change
Help me to find my way back down
Cause Annie’s got to get out
Before she never can
Were chasing for the ceiling
I’m grabbing for her hand
Were calling on a thin phone line, tonight
Cause Annie’s got to get out
Holding the line from the back of the car
Miles and miles from where you are
Maye the hardest things are the dreams that we’ve been given
And you scream and you sing and you shout
There one way in and there’s one way out
Help me to find my way back down
Cause Annie’s got to get out
Before she never can
Were chasing for the ceiling
I’m grabbing for her hand
Were calling on a thin phone line, tonight
Cause Annie’s got to get out
Theres one love in the morning
Add three days in the grave
Fall back in the evening
Now our lives will change
I’m caught in a moment out in the rain
Tell me there’s something we can say
Help me to find my way back down
Cause Annie’s got to get out
Before she never can
Were chasing for the ceiling
I’m grabbing for her hand
Were calling on a thin phone line, tonight
Cause Annie’s got to get out
Oh Annie’s got to get out
We sing……
We’ve got our feet on the wire, talking ’bout flying
Maybe we’re diving in over our heads
Scared of what I’m feeling
Staring at the ceiling here tonight
Come on lay down these arms, all our best defenses
We’re taking our chances here on the run
The fear is an anchor, time is a stranger
Love isn’t borrowed, we aren’t promised tomorrow
We’ll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready
Where we don’t know, though we can’t see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won’t be steady, never be ready
You’re okay, you’re with me here in the silence
With all of the violence crashing around
Saying we can’t go, saying we don’t know
This road that is narrow is the one we should follow
We’ll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready
Where we don’t know, though we can’t see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready
Steady my hands, this one can turn around
Steady my heart, it’s beating faster
Steady my hands, this one can turn around
Steady my heart, it’s beating faster, beating faster now
We’ll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready
Where we don’t know, though we can’t see
Just walk on down this road with me
Won’t be steady, never be ready
Won’t be steady, never be ready
Won’t be steady, we’ll never be ready
Won’t be steady, never be ready
Stop this runaway car
I wanna get off, I wanna go back
If I left you there then I left it all behind
‘Cause all I’m feeling now
Is the weight of the world bearing down
I don’t have answers to any of my questions anymore
‘Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all alone
Might have been standing on the top of the world
What a difference a day makes, I turned and watched you walk away
I might have been standing on the top of the world
‘Cause I might have been wrong
Tail lights and a seat on the right
In a losing fight into the night
Oh all the while, horses running down my veins
It’s one word and the softest eyes
You say wait and I’ll go hide
If you’re still there then you’re still all I want
‘Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all alone
I might have been standing on the top of the world
What a difference a day makes, I turned and watched you walk away
I might have been standing on the top of the world
‘Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been wrong
Might have been wrong
Might have been, might have been
Stop this runaway car
If we’re not that gone then we’re not that far
If I left you there then I’ve left it all behind
‘Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all alone
I might have been standing on the top of the world
What a difference a day makes, I turned and watched you walk away
I might have been standing on the top of the world
‘Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been wrong, might have been wrong
Might have been, might have been
Might have been wrong
[Verse 1]
Under the TV lights, you fell asleep again
Dont know, I’m writing this song about you
There’s a picture of a Hollywood sign, reflecting off your skin I
Don’t want to live another day without you
You woke up and said baby I, had one of those dreams again
The rain came down and I lost you, In the wind
You said something about don’t leave, before you fell back asleep
Before I could sing my song back to you
[Chorus]
But you could find your self lost out in this world
And I found a way to get back to your side
no mountains to high, no stone is too small
I’ll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California
[Verse 2]
I could hear you softly breathing, oh what you do to me
But baby I could climb down into your dreams
I Build a ladder down through the clouds
Where the storms Is raging now I
Don’t want to sing another song without you
[Chorus]
If you find your self lost out in this world
Then I’ll find a way to get back to your side
no mountains to high, no stone is too small
I’ll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California
Singing, la la la la la la
Ohhhh, It’s not too far, la la la la la la
Ohhhh, to where you are, la la la la la la
Ohhh, It’s not too far,
Cause you, could find your self lost out in this world
And I, Could find a way to get back to your side
[Chorus]
If you find your self lost out in this world
Then I’ll find a way to get back to your side
No mountains to high, no stone is too small
I’ll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California, To California, To California
You’re watching everything you ever held on to
Slip away from you
And all you’re running from well it’s catching up to you
Got you looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring you home
The world is too big to never ask why
The answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
I’m fighting to live and feel alive
But I can’t feel a thing without you by my side
Send me out a lifeline
You’re watching everyone you ever belonged to
Walk away from you
Maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth
Got you looking for a lifeline
You’re swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring you home
There’s nothing I would change, I’d give it all away
For you again and again and over again
Everything I own is in your control
I’m looking for a lifeline
Swimming in the high tide
Waiting for the daylight
To bring me home
Did you close your eyes as you walked away?
Did I get too close in the pouring rain?
If there’s one more chance for us here tonight
I’ll take the long way ’round this time
We sing
Oh, love, it’s easy if you don’t try to please me
If you don’t want to see me any more
We sing out…
Oh, oh
Here we go again
I know how I lost a friend
We go ’round and ’round again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Bitter is the kiss that says goodbye
I can hear it in your voice, I see it in your eyes
‘Cause we’ve been this low and we’ve been around this bend
I don’t to lose you all over again
We sing
Oh, love, it’s easy if you don’t try to please me
If you don’t want to see me any more
We sing out…
Oh, oh
Here we go again
I know how I lost a friend
We go ’round and ’round again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh no,
Here we go again
I know how I lost a friend
We go ’round and ’round again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Around here
We’ve got a light here that’s not going away
?
So here’s my heart I’ll give over and over again
[Instrumental]
Oh oh,
Here we go again
I know how I lost a friend
We go ’round and ’round again
Oh no
Oh no
It’s a long road baby, running away
She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe
It could happen to me
I guess we’re all one phone call from our knees
We’re gonna get there soon
If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We’ll still be singin’ this song
The one they can’t take away
I’m gonna get there soon,
She’s gonna be there too
Cryin’ in her room
Prayin’ Lord, come through
We’re gonna get there soon
[Chorus:]
Oh it’s your light,
Oh it’s your way,
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin’ out now
From so far away…
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin’ down with the wind
And don’t apologize
For all the tears you’ve cried
You’ve been way too strong now for all your life
I’m gonna get there soon,
You’re gonna be there too
Cryin’ in your room,
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
[Chorus:]
Oh, it’s your light
Oh, it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin’ out now
From so far away…
Pull me closer to love
Closer to love
‘Cause you are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life (We’re gonna get there)
You are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
Pull me closer to love
Closer to love, oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
I heard you were back in town
I heard you would come around
Trying to get off the ground
Every road you went down
Walked down the old street
Just to feel the old heat
If you’re burning on empty
I’ll be holding a golden ring
‘Cause hey hey, they don’t know you like I do
I wait for the whole world to show you
Maybe we’re not, not that gone
Do you ever think about me? Do you ever call my name?
Ask me now I’ll give you the reasons
My love will not fade
Through the fire and rain, the fire and rain
I’ll meet you half way
If you’re coming the long way
Don’t care what the people say
Of the prodigal runaway
‘Cause hey hey, they don’t know you like I do
I wait for the whole world to show you
Maybe we’re not, not that gone
Do you ever think about me? Do you ever call my name?
Ask me now I’ll give you the reasons
My love will not fade
Through the fire and rain, the fire and rain
We’ll say goodbye, I’m gone
Oh, it hurts to hold on
If you settle your score, no, no
Pick you up off the floor
Do you ever think about me? Do you ever call my name?
Ask me now I’ll give you the reasons
My love
Do you ever think about me? Do you ever call my name?
Ask me now I’ll give you the reasons
My love will not fade
Through the fire and rain, the fire and rain
The fire and rain, the fire and rain
Here we go at it three years later
Will you help me to dream it all up again
Tired of the same song everyone’s singing
Rather be lost with you instead
Don’t you come around here
Come around here anymore
Dragging my fears
Dragging my fears
Out the door
All I have
All I have
All I have
Well, you know it’s yours
Every breathe
Every step
Every moment
I’m looking for
All I have
All I have
All I have
Is yours
And you watch my heart break a little bit more
My heart break a little bit more
Is it cold yet in New York City?
‘Round here the trees been blowing off bare
Everyone’s talking about change on the airwaves
I still got you on my breathe
Don’t you come around here
Come around here anymore
Dragging my fears
Dragging my fears
Out the door
All I have
All I have
All I have
Well, you know it’s yours
Every breathe
Every step
Every moment
I’m looking for
All I have
All I have
All I have
Is yours
And you watch my heart break a little bit more
My heart break a little bit more
Oh I still trying to do my hardest
Pick us all up from the fall oh
Off the little corner of the darkness
Just a crack the light in the middle of it all
All I have
All I have
All I have
Well, you know it’s yours
Every breathe
Every step
Every moment
I’m looking for
All I have
All I have
All I have
Is yours
And you watch my heart break a little bit more
My heart break a little bit more
My heart break a little bit more
Watching my heart break a little bit more
My heart break a little bit more
My heart break a little bit more
If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux
Id kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we’ve learnt disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
But yet unable to reach me
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a State of Flux
State of Flux [x9]
We need to talk [x5]
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux
I can see it in your eyes now
You have come to resent me
Condescension in the silence
Your fingers are tired, girl
How they falter against my thigh
Your kisses are pinning the lips of someone else
Your visits getting shorter
Your heart is getting farther from me
Your touch is getting colder
Away somewhere you need to be
Boys in blue blazers, boys …
Boys in your math class, who’ll do anything you ask
You’re pulling the trigger and the gun is in my mouth
A subtle annoyance laced with disgust
When you get older and all those boys grow tired of you
You can come find me, I can never hate you
Your visits getting shorter
Your heart is getting farther from me
Your touch is getting colder
Away somewhere you need to be
Boys on your left side, boys on your right
Boys by your locked who’ll do anything you ask
Let’s spend the whole day in bed then
‘Cause if we don’t, you’ll want to, want to leave
I try to hold something I can
I try to hold something I can never keep
Your visits getting shorter
Your heart is getting farther from me
Your touch is getting colder
Away somewhere you need to be
Boys on your left side, boys on your right
Boys by your locked, who’ll do anything you ask
I found myself at the point where we kissed first
on a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque
They said, they said, they said, they said
You can’t go around breaking young girl’s hearts
I say, I say, I say, I say, keep it casual,easy,babe
And you looked so right in that red dress
Oh, how’d I’d love to be a rock for you
To be anything you could rely on
So I’ll, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try
But I’ll get caught out
So we’ll try, we’ll try, we’ll try, we’ll try
But we forget the lines, forget the lines
And you looked so wonderful in the back of the car
Like you could start a hundred wars
See what trouble we could both cause
By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I’ll leave it unto them to be a father to a son
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
Forgive me autumn, forgive me autumn,
Forgive me autumn, forgive me autumn
Forgive me autumn
Ion square, perspex swings
I breathe out, you breathe in
Permanent midnight
Our love, our love
How we’ve come to depend
On each other to the end
The space between us has disappeared
You finish my, you finish my words for me
I remember how it began
So many great days in a row
Barefoot on Bishopsgate
Trying to find Blake’s grave
If we could stay like this in a silver foil
Trapped in amber for a life
Permanent midnight
Our love, our love
I carry your heart here with me
I carry it in my heart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart
Who said unbroken happiness
Is a bore, is a bore?
Who said it, my love? I don’t mind it
Anymore, anymore
And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed
Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night
And the hunger of those early years will never return
But I don’t mind, I don’t mind
‘Cause I love my mind when I’m fucking you
Slowed down to a crawl
Years of crime and the bread line
Have not at all dimmed your shine
So let’s stay in, let the sofa be our car
Let’s stay in, let the TV be our stars
I found my dancing shoes but they don’t fit
All the bright lights do is bore me
They bore me
I carry your heart here with me
I carry it in my heart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart
What’s with all this doom and gloom?
You used to be such, such a laugh
It’s only sin, original sin
Corinthians (15:22)
Never been a big fan of things
But I’m growing so fond of you
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it’s a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it’s a bore
Truth is truth
I ain’t no bohemian
Much too, much too safe
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too
You can use your hands for something else
I’ll take you further than the scholars can
Put down your books and molest me
Heaven is here, where it needs to be
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it’s a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it’s a bore
And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world won’t last I’ll turn you on
Well, I’ve got enough for the both of us
The both of us
The both of us
And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I’ve got enough for the both of us
The both of us
And in the dark it comes for me
Malevolent and without form
Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Cold and relentless with arms outstretched
No Bolt nor brick
Nor crucifix can hold it back
I’ve been wicked
I’ve been arrogant
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
(Silent and Velvet)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I tried to stay still, so it will not see me
Its talons rake the side of my face
When did you become such a slut?
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
(Silent and Velvet)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I didn’t think I’d catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn’t think it would catch up as fast as I could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes, and when it comes, and when it comes
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all
Standing in the city with the clocks counting one
And your face is still wet from the fight before
As your tears hit the ground, blue flowers spring from them
Baby, I’m ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby, I’m ashamed of the man I was for you
And all you said in your quietest voice
Was “I needed you as much as they do”
How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we run before they do not recognise us?
So let’s take this from the start, you’ll be me and I’ll be you
And let’s try not to complain about your smoking
And my distant heart
And my distant heart
And my distant heart
And all you said in your quietest voice
Was “I needed you as much as they do”
(Too many mirrors in this house)
(And I don’t like to see myself like this)
(I’m becoming the man I used to be I guess)
(These walls could tell you a thing or two)
(Things that you really don’t want to know)
(Lend me your eyes for your point of view)
(Lend me your feet and I’ll stand up for you)
And all you said in your quietest voice
Was “I needed you as much as they do”
Well there were 7 years between us seems that all my friends were right
That we can’t survive on your bedroom eyes and a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise, not just Bethnal green
And it’s just not right this waiting game, making a cuckold of me
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time…
And it’s just not like me to lash out, but enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do that I cant
Translucent and sun bleached skin, when did you get so LA
How can you desert me after all we’ve been through
Stuck on a dream that somewhere its better
You’ll be the one missing out
I can be a cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies
Lies
If you need time…
Two ravens in the old oak tree, one for you and one for me
Bluebells in the late December, I see signs now all the time
The last time we slept together, there was something that was not there
You never wanted to alarm me but I’m the one that’s drowning now
I could sleep forever these days because in my dreams I see you again
But this time fleshed out fuller face in your confirmation dress
It was so like you to visit me to let me know you were ok
It was so like you visit me, always worrying about someone else
At your funeral I was so upset, so upset,
in your life you were larger than this
statuesque
I see signs now all the time that your not dead your sleeping
I believe in anything that brings you back home to me
You used to take your watch off before we made love
You didn’t want to share our time with anyone
You used to close your eyes when we kissed goodbye
You didn’t want to see me draped in sadness
And now there’s nothing here, now there’s nothing here at all
In a loft conversion off new north road
You were here I was here there was something real here
I know there was
You know I still adore you
But in a different kind of way
You know I still adore you
But things have gotten vague
Baby I don’t ask for much but things have gotten convenient
You know I still adore you but things, have kind of changed
And to think I laughed at you
For how you saw the world, with all that empty space inside your hear
I have to cling to things now, doubles and cigarettes
Forever trying to find you on the lips, of someone else
Just take me back, to the start
When your earthquake, was just cracks
You must ask yourself everyday
Just how high, are the highs
For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins
Wake me up when u come to bed
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn’t kind to little things
Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can’t
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn’t kind to little things
Don’t you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do
You’re not doing this alone
Resist
It was your hair that did it
It was your hair that lit the fuse
A golden brown halo
Like sunlight peering through trees
I ask you for the time, but I am asking for so much more
A moth to your light bulb, you made my heart beat faster
Paralyze me, with your kiss
Wipe those dirty hands, on me
Maybe we’re looking for the same thing
Maybe you’re the one who will complete me
Oh how beauty burns, lips and eyes and fingertips
The spark of desire on every point our bodies meet
Behind your eyes were stars, infinite and serene
How I would suffer for you, you fascinate and magnetize me
Sometimes I think, I would float away
If this sadness did not weigh me down
My mercury’s in retrograde
This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about whats forgotten
Try not to worry about whats been missed
Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in a basketball court
Jonjo’s in Sydney and he aint returning
Im sitting in soho trying to stay drunk
In any bar in the world
From Silverlake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love
My mercury’s in retrograde
This is not the time, the tie to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about whats forgotten
Try not to worry about whats been missed
Bleeding gums and veins protruding
You’re starting to hate all of your clothes
Neumayrs in LA and she aint returning
Im sleeping with people I don’t even like
My mercury’s in retrograde
When I say you last night
I wanted to say, run away with me
Away from the cynics
That this could be the start of
Something truly real…
But all that I could say was “hey”
My mercury’s in retrograde
War war war war
I want to declare a war
My fist breaks your porcelain nose
There are other things that hands can do
To create or to destroy, mini gods and goddesses
First person singular
Set it set it set it off
War war war war
Keep the past the future is ours
Man made natural disaster
Blocking out all of the sun
Supermen and mitsi turbo
Speed agility super strength
Wipe the blood of those knuckles
Spark it give me two’s on that
War war war war
I want to declare a war
True say blud that when we ride
We don’t stop for nobody
The Africans and the Bengalis
He knows all the rude boys
Reebok Nike Adidas Puma
“Rer rer rer, this shit is long”
It’s all getting, quite highly charged
Get out the way, or get fucked up
We dance to the sound of sirens
We dance to the sound
And to think, that these hands
Could work wonders, with their touch
Listening, to dead singers, in your room
In 98
We dance to the sound of sirens
We dance to the sound
Ay
Ohh ohh
Oohhhahhh
Ha ha
Forget about the
Picture I painted in your head of a beautiful you and me
You might as well forget about the
Way you use me, abuse me thought we really were a family (yeah)
You knew I was weak for love
So you wrote me love letters
Sweeter than a peach
You relax me like a beach
I got skies so deep
I’ve been gettin cold feet
(Even the truth is a lie)
The truth is, love can be so ruthless
You is so (bad) ya know ya so (bad)
(But you wouldn’t be the baddest I’ve ever had)
Even the truth is a lie
We can never stay together
We’ve tried too many times
The truth, the, the, the truth
Maybe I’m wrong and it’s all in my mind
Feels like I’m dreamin’ of happier days with you
Even the truth is a lie
The truth, the, the, the truth,
The, the, the truth, the, the, the truth
I just, just as well? forget about the
Arguing, fussin, fightin, cops beatin down my front door
Girl it aint worth it over you
Her body hid my control over me mistaken lust for love
I finally had enough of your bull, what you tryna pull
Mami
Don’t try me
You wont find me
You knew I was weak for love
So you wrote me love letters
Sweeter than a peach
You relax me like a beach (shawty)
I got skies so deep (shawty)
I’ve been gettin cold feet
(Even the truth is a lie)
The truth is, love can be so ruthless
You is so (bad) ya know ya so (bad)
(But you wouldn’t be the baddest I’ve ever had)
Even the truth is a lie
We can never stay together
We’ve tried too many times
The truth, the, the, the truth
Maybe I’m wrong and it’s all in my mind
Feels like I’m dreamin’ of happier days with you
Even the truth is a lie
The truth, the, the, the truth,
The, the, the truth, the, the, the truth’
So we never say never, girl
Promise I’m never getting back with you
After all the shit you put me through
Had to learn, let to burn, I was firm with my love
For it never was enough (woahh ohh ohh)
Had to sue for the number, my new number one curse
You look flyer than every girl, no I didnt st-st-stutter
Even the truth is a lie
Truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
Everything ya show me
And everything ya told me was a lie
Why did ya do me this way
I said it hurts so bad
I cried at night
Wooahhhawooo
Said I cried at night
Baby the truth was a lie
The truth was a lie
