March
You made me believe
That nobody else could love me
But you
Then I found me
And a couple of old cd’s
You were drinking my blood
Right under my nose the whole time
Until I was empty
I thought I could save you
But you punished me for trying
And I was the one who needed saving
Addicted to the remedy
You gave for the pain you caused me
I couldn’t look myself in the mirror cos I was scared of what I’d find
It was Someone else
Cos I lost myself
In a killers arms
In march -
Glide
Livin my life in a bubble
Sometimes reality’s too much for me
(Trip and fall into a dream)
Your love it gets me to trouble
Sometimes the gravity’s too much for me
(It gets me weak in the knees)
I
Don’t know what we got But
I know what I want
The silence is killing me softly
You and I
We just glide
Through the night We just drive
We get by We just glide
Maybe we’re just fooling in foolish imagination Got no destination in sight
You and I We get by We just glide
Why should it be such a struggle
When it means so much to you and me
(Trip and fall into a dream)
Built like a ship in a bottle
Gotta handle you so delicately
I
Don’t know what we got
But I know what I want
The silence is killing me softly
You and I
We just glide
Through the night
We just drive
We get by
We just glide
Maybe we’re just fooling in foolish imagination
Got no destination in sight
You and I
We get by
We just glide
Show me freedom
Coz love don’t cost a thing
Give me freedom
Yeah don’t just let me leave
You and I
We just glide
Through the night
We just drive
We get by
We just glide
Maybe we’re just fooling in foolish imagination
Got no destination in sight
You and I
We get by
We just glide -
Sideways
Good hellos and bad goodbyes
We do it well
We do it well
I see you through Cloudy eyes
Heaven or hell
Well Who could tell
Cigarettes and the taste of cheap wine
Waking up in a daze it’s your bed or mine
Always my favorite waste of time
All in for the thrill of it
Til we're ill of it
Darling you
Love me love me sideways
Drifting in and out of
My space
These day
Is it cruel
To hold you hold you so tight
When our forever only
Lasts us
Some nights
Raging nights in mid July
Thought it would end
But you’re back again
With lips ice cold and more to hide
I let you in
We keep play pretend
Cigarettes and the taste of cheap wine
Waking up in a daze it’s your bed or mine
Always my favorite waste of time
All in for the thrill of it
Til we’re ill of it
Darling you
Love me love me sideways
Drifting in and out of
My space
These days
Is it cruel
To hold you hold you so tight
When our forever only
Lasts us
Some nights
How can I be here with you
And not know where we are
Talk about where we wanna go
But never get that far
All in for thrill of it
Til we’re ill of it
Darling you
Love me love me sideways
Drifting in and out of
My space
These days
Is it cruel
To hold you hold you
So tight
When our forever only
Lasts us
Some nights -
Other People
We’ve been more than friends
And It’s unstable
Yeah We got a past
I know
yeah I know the odds
Aren’t in our favor
But when we laugh
It’s gold
Babe I’m the fire
You are the air
How can I burn
When you’re not there
We’ve been more than friends
And it’s unstable
unstable…
I know we should probably see other people
But you’re not like other people
You told me you know me more than other people
Said I’m not like other people
That’s why I like you
And that’s why you like me
Old habits they never die
I know we should probably see other people
But we’re not like other people, are we?
Somebody else
Looks good on paper
Good for my health
I know
But what the heart wants
You can’t control it
control it...
Cos babe we’re on fire
Fighting for air
You know desire
doesn’t fight fair
I know we should probably see other people
But you’re not like other people
You told me you know me more than other people
Said I’m not like other people
That’s why I like you
And that’s why you like me
Old habits they never die
I know we should probably see other people
But we’re not like other people, are we?
Not like other people, are we?
And I don’t like other people, no no
You’re not like other people, oh no
The odds
Aren’t in our favor
But when we laugh
It’s gold
I know we should probably see other people
But you’re not like other people
You told me you know me more than other people
Said I’m not like other people
That’s why I like you
And that’s why you like me
Old habits they never die
I know we should probably see other people
But we’re not like other people, are we?
Not like other people, are we?
We’re not like other people, oh no -
Hammer
Lean back
And close my eyes
Been living in a bubble as long as I remember
Lean back
And it’s alright
I always knew that I’m a good pretender
Love it in my fantasy reality
And I don’t wanna know it
wanna know it
wanna know it
Til it hits like a hammer
Hits like a hammer
Built my own multi universe
Parallel truth
Where I’m safe from the world
Just never from you
People outside are flying to the moon
and I’m laying in my bed like I don’t have a clue
So I
Push it away
Push it away
I push it away
Push it away
Til it hits like a hammer
Truth
Hits like a hammer
Truth
Til it hits like a hammer
Truth
Hits like a hammer
Truth
Til it hits like a hammer
Sometimes
We overdose
And I think that you’re a stranger
Need you
But not too close
Feels like I’m looking in the mirror
Love it in my fantasy reality
And I don’t wanna know it
wanna know it
wanna know it
Til it hits like a hammer
Hits like a hammer
Built my own multi universe
Parallel truth
Where I’m safe from the world
Just never from you
People outside are flying to the moon
and I’m laying in my bed like I don’t have a clue
So I
Push it away
Push it away
I push it away
Push it away
Til it hits like a hammer
Truth
Hits like a hammer
Truth
Til it hits like a hammer
Truth
Hits like a hammer
Truth
Til it hits like a hammer
Lean back and close my eyes
Been living in a bubble as long as I remember
Lean back and it’s alright
I always knew that I’m a good pretender -
Who
Oh boy, oh boy
I think I made a mistake
And I think you made a mistake
Oh boy, oh boy
I’m reaching for things I could break
Can someone hand me a vase
Oh boy, oh boy
You still didn’t give back the keys
I’m sitting here on my knees
staring at the door
looking for a cure
Reaching for something to drink
With you
I would know exactly what to do
But you’re somewhere else
so all I’m gonna do is not know what to do
Who you gonna love if you’re not gonna love me
Who, who, who?
Who you gonna love if you’re not gonna love me
Who?
Oh boy, oh boy
I think we did the right thing
You think we did the right thing, right?
Oh boy, oh boy
I love to have all this time
But what do I do with this time
With you
I would know exactly what to do
But you’re somewhere else
so all I’m gonna do is not know what to do
Who you gonna love if you’re not gonna love me
Who, who, who?
Who you gonna love if you’re not gonna love me
Who?
Whom I gonna love if I’m not gonna love you
Who, who, who?
Whom I gonna love if I’m not gonna love you
I know, I know
You should give back the keys
I shouldn’t sit here on my knees
Staring at the door
Looking for a cure
Who you gonna love if you’re not gonna love me
Who, who, who?
Who you gonna love if you’re not gonna love me
Who?
Whom I gonna love if I’m not gonna love you
Who, who, who?
Whom I gonna love if I’m not gonna love you -
Sabotage
Someone told you that big boys don't cry
But you're drowning in that ocean deep inside
We find solid ground
and the land begins to slide
Are we too scared to be happy?
Happy always ended sad
Is it love or sabotage
We push and pull each other
Twisting who we are
Throwing gasoline onto the fire
All the sparks raining down
Our desire's
Sabotage
Sabotage
I was always told to speak my mind
(my mind)
The words can come out wrong and seem unkind
(unkind)
But we take the truth and turn it into lies
Are we too scared to be happy?
Happy always ended sad
Is it love or sabotage
We push and pull each other
Twisting who we are
Throwing gasoline onto the fire
All the sparks raining down
Our desire's
Sabotage
Sabotage
Oooh
Oooh
Draw the blinds and lay our troubles down
Hold me tight don't say a word
Don't you say it's too late
Say it’s too late, say it
Don’t say it’s too late
Say it’s too late, say it
Don’t say it’s too late
Say it’s too late, say it
Don't say it's too late
Is it love or sabotage
We push and pull each other
Twisting who we are
Throwing gasoline onto the fire
All the sparks raining down
Our desire's
Sabotage
Sabotage -
Drained
I made a stage for you to dance on
I paved a way for you to walk
I gave a life for you to live in
and there was nothing left for me at all
I made a home to put your heart in
I made a song for you to sing
I gave it all
and you used it
there was nothing left for me no more
I need a way out
I need a way out
I need a way out
I need a way out
Still see you standing in the corner
I couldn’t move, I couldn’t talk
Cos I was tired of the hurting
and there was nothing left of me at all
Was it love or was it hatred
I was numb, too blind to see
I lived a lie and worshipped sadness
But I’m still the girl I used to be
I need a way out
I need a way out
I need a way out
I need a way out -
Careful What I Dream Of
Dancing with your shadow, shadow
Talking to your echo, echo
I don’t wanna let go, let go
Maybe I’m just haunted by your ghost
Coz all of my words turn to ash in my mouth
When I’m talking to your echo, echo
But I don’t wanna let go, let go
Gotta be,
Careful what I dream of
Careful what I wish for
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of, might not wanna wake up
Careful what I dream of
Careful not to need you
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream, I might not wanna wake up
Sharper than a dagger, dagger
Our love was a hazard, hazard
But I’d rather have you, have you
In my dreams than not at all
All of the words that come out of your mouth
Are sharper than a dagger, dagger
Gotta be,
Careful what I dream of
Careful what I wish for
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of, might not wanna wake up
Careful what I dream of
Careful not to need you
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of, might not wanna wake up
(Careful what I dream, I might not wanna wake up)
Even when I
Can’t see your face
I can feel your hands
Around my waist
Every night
It’s the same old scene
but when the morning comes
You’re never here with me
Gotta be,
Careful what I dream of
Careful what I wish for
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of, might not wanna wake up
Careful what I dream of
Careful not to need you
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of, might not wanna wake up
(Careful what I dream, I might not wanna wake up)
Dancing with your shadow, shadow
Talking to your echo, echo
I don’t wanna let go, let go -
Rabbit
You got it worse than you've ever really had it
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
Bright lights like a frightened little rabbit
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
Aah
aah
Mmah
Come the hour
You know
You'll need it again
And again
Knocking the door in the back of your brain
It begins
And never ends
Keeps on hurting
Like a faith to the death
Just don't give into it yet
You got it worse than you've ever really had it
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
Bright lights like a frightened little rabbit
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
Aah
aah
Mmah
Shivering and shaking
You know you'll take it again
And again
Feel a little bittersweet
Creeping up your spine
It explodes
Now and then
Keeps on hurting
Like a faith to the death
Just don't give into it yet
You got it worse than you've ever really had it
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
Bright lights like a frightened little rabbit
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
(Aah aah aah aah aah aah)
You got it worse than you've ever really had it
It's ok's just a
Bad habit
Bright lights like a frightened little rabbit
It's ok's just a
Bad habit -
Solid Ground
Tryna fly
But my wings can’t hold me up
Tryna run
But my legs are glued to the ground
Wanna breathe
But I keep
Drowning in this quicksand
You all know this dream
Let me just keep
Dreaming, dreaming
For now, for now
Let me just keep
Dreaming, dreaming
For now, for now
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
I’m still in the middle of the fall
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
I’m in the sea
Swimming underneath the ice
Feeling warm
Feeling safe where there’s no light
Wanna see
Everything
That’s hiding at rockbottom
Wanna stay in this nightmare a little bit longer
Let me just keep
Dreaming, dreaming
For now, for now
Let me just keep
Dreaming, dreaming
For now, for now
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
I’m still in the middle of the fall
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
I’m still in the middle of the fall
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
I’m still in the middle of the fall
I don’t wanna wake up til it’s over
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Not til i hit
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground -
Believe
I know the birds fly north
Lay me, lay me down
In the river, I go
I know it’s hard to forget it all
But please, don’t you don’t you leave
You’re the one for me
I believe
I believe
That there’s a reason for this
I know the water’s running out
Just let me, let me try
To save some
I know we’re tired, almost numb
But baby, we can try
Til the queendom come
Yeah I believe
I believe
That there’s a reason for this
We planted our own seed
Some day it becomes
Forever our tree
Just wait for it, listen
You’ll see
Our love, our love it grows
Like You and me
I believe
I believe
That there’s reason for this
I believe
I believe
That there’s a reason for this
I believe
I believe
That there’s reason for it all
I know the birds fly north
Lay me, lay me down
In the river, I go
One kiss makes me forget it all
So don’t you, don’t you leave
You’re the one for me
I believe
I believe
That there’s a reason for this
I believe
I believe
That there’s a reason for this -
Blooming
Still recall the feeling
Was so scared to see you leaving
Didn’t notice that you needed to
All the late night fighting
Then the both of us were crying
Guess we lost ourselves in me and you
I don’t want you to remember me that way
I don’t want you to remember I begged you to stay
Just needed a little time
To get you off my mind
And now I’m finally in a better place
If you could see me now
that my heart is blooming
That I got out
And I don’t wanna don’t lose this
Now if I saw you in the crowd
I wouldn’t run into your arms
I wouldn’t reminisce ’bout us
and ’bout the better days
If you could see me now
More than just ok
Stop myself from calling
All the times that I’ve been longing
Just to talk to you like nothing’s changed
We were better off as friends
So can you let me love again?
We don’t need to wait out the haze
I just want you to remember me this way
I just want you to remember, I’m not the same
Just needed a little time
To get you off my mind
And now I’m finally in a better place
If you could see me now
that my heart is blooming
That I got out
And I don’t wanna don’t lose this
Now if I saw you in the crowd
I wouldn’t run into your arms
I wouldn’t reminisce ’bout us
and ’bout the better days
If I would see you now
I hope you’d feel the same
Oh remember, remember
Oh remember, remember me this way
Oh remember, remember
Oh remember, remember me this way
Oh remember, remember
Oh remember, remember me this way
Oh remember, remember
Oh remember, remember me this way
If you could see me now
that my heart is blooming
That I got out
And I don’t wanna don’t lose this
Now if I saw you in the crowd
I wouldn’t run into your arms
I wouldn’t reminisce ’bout us
and ’bout the better days
If you could see me now
More than just ok -
Maybe we'll go, Maybe we'll stay
The war is over
So go easy on me
We can take it slow now
It’s been raining for weeks
Finally washed away all our debris
Chilled us to the bone but left us clean
So we can drop like stone
Or we can take this home
Or we can shut up and just let it be
We don’t need whispers of gold
Buried and rusting alone
You can cry away the lonely with me
I am gonna be there til you’re safe
Don’t lose faith
We will come crashing down like waves
Let’s take it day by day
I know we’ll say goodbye a thousand time
But maybe we’ll go maybe we’ll stay
The war is over
Don’t try to push me away
Cos I don’t own you
Don’t go looking for chains
We were left out in the cold for too long
Frozen to the bone, now finally free
So we can drop like stone
Or we can take this home
Or we can shut up and just let it be
We don’t need whispers of gold
Buried and rusting alone
You can cry away the lonely with me
I am gonna be there til you’re safe
Don’t lose faith
We will come crashing down like waves
Let’s take it day by day
I know we’ll say goodbye a thousand time
But maybe we’ll go maybe we’ll stay
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared my dear
Don’t be scared
Cos there ain’t nothing to fear
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared my dear
Don’t be scared
Cos there ain’t nothing to fear
So we can drop like stone
Or we can take this home
Or we can shut up and just let it be
We don’t need whispers of gold
Buried and rusting alone
You can cry away the lonely with me
I am gonna be there til you’re safe
Don’t lose faith
We will come crashing down like waves
Let’s take it day by day
I know we’ll say goodbye a thousand time
But maybe we’ll go maybe we’ll stay -
Alright Now
It’s snowing in the desert
The Ocean is on fire
The Moon’s up in the daytime
And the Sun’s out at night
People are walking backwards
Questions used to be answers
When everything’s all wrong
I’m alright now
I’m alright now
Change is a beautiful thing
It’s a beautiful thing
But never when it’s happening
But I’m alright now
It’s never just a clean cut
The knife can be so dull
The healing’s not so pretty
But the lesson’s worth it all
I got to the edge but I didn’t jump
I found out what I was made of
Made of something strong
So
I’m alright now
I’m alright now
Change is a beautiful thing
It’s a beautiful thing
But never when it’s happening
But I’m alright now
I’m alright now
I’m alright now
I’m alright now
I’m alright
I’m alright
I’m alright
I’m alright
