Charlotte Martin - Lyrics
Home Discography Biography Tour Dates Articles Links Gallery
Lord knows I must need a
savior
I thought I would never waver,
Turning backwards-you got straighter
And words fly far away
And I will say with all my might that
I’m imperfect
Uncertain
And I cannot
Make this work if you won’t take my call
And we do get colder now that we’re much older
But we’re also bolder
And I’m sorry for it all
What’s this business of
fake forgiveness
What’s my punishment from you?
I won’t be ignored forever
Though you’d like to think you do
And nothing works today
And I will wish with all my might and
I’m imperfect
Uncertain
And I cannot
Make this work if you won’t take my call
And we do get colder now that we’re much older
But we’re also bolder
And I’m sorry for it all
And I’ll be here
And I’ll be here
And I’ll be here
you can't judge the love by the
lover
the sky by it's thunder
the road with no sign
you can't make the snow fall in
summer
or make him not want her
not leave it behind
maybe you'll stay in touch years
down the road
and hope that he's still in your
mind
the sun may come up and go down
again
i'll
still swear it's a beautiful life
maybe we'll meet up in
denver
talk about weather
talk of old times
i know
every word that we said
was what we both meant
well we meant it at the time
promise me that you'll be standing
up straight
chasing rivers, and shadows, and
time
the sun may come up and go down
again
and i'll still swear it's a
beautiful life
time flies, time
cries
oh time flies, time cries
so swim to the end of the
river
until there’s no shiver
left in your spine
live like there won’t be
tomorrow
see through your
sorrow
see through your own
eyes
try to remember these days down the road
and
try to remember this time
the sun may come up and go down again
I’ll still swear it’s a beautiful life
the sun may come up
the sun may go down
the sun may come up
the san may go down
oh the sun may come up
the sun may go down
I’ll still swear it’s a beautiful life
well i'm feeling like i'm falling
i'm still on my feet
reality is calling
that don't bother me
'cos I'm on my way
i'm ok
i'm ready to get ready
willing to get by
i'm able to imagine
what it's like to fly
into the blue
fall down too
hey, hey, c'mon bring on the day
'coz I just might get everything I need
hey, hey, i'm givin' what it takes
i'm ready as i'm ever gonna be
so bring on the day
like a diver in the water
everything feels slow
but my caramel macchiato really gets me in the flow
and I'm on my way
whatever it takes
hey, hey, c'mon bring on the day
'coz I just might get everything I need
hey, hey, i'm givin' what it takes
i'm ready as I'm ever gonna be
so bring on the day
what you get is what you see
open up your eyes
they'll set you free
it all works out eventually
you gotta keep on keepin' on
i can rock and i can roll
i know i wanna move, gotta take control
watch out world, 'cos here I come
and I can't stop 'til I'm done
hey, hey, i'm finally on my way
hey, hey, c'mon bring on the day
'coz I just might get everything I need
hey, hey, I'm givin' what it takes
i'm ready as I'm ever gonna be
so bring on the day
bring on the day
gotta keep on keepin' on
gotta keep on keepin' on
(repeat to fade)
The chase goes on forever
I’m running out of time
There’s madness in the river and it has half my mind
A promise is a promise
When did I lose my thrill
I had you for a moment a moment and a pill
You’re running scared
I’m chasing a shadow
When you’re not there
I’m chasing a shadow
And I just try to find a souvenir-something to borrow
Something to borrow
Something that’s you
There’s victory in disaster
A masterpiece of dirt
This faith that’s in my heart that
Makes me want to hurt
You’re running scared
I’m chasing a shadow
When you’re not there
I’m chasing a shadow
And I just try to find a souvenir-something to borrow
Something to borrow
Something that’s you
You…
You…
You…
You’re running scared
I’m chasing a shadow
When you’re not there
I’m chasing a shadow
And I just try to find a souvenir
Something to borrow
Something to borrow
Something that’s you…..
Waiting
I'm
Waiting to hold nothing cause
Everyone knows nothing's much easier to touch
So I
want,
I tried for a love
That buried me under his shrug
No one sees or cares if I'm on my
Closet
floor
Shh there's something
Outside my door
Making a little heat
It's getting warm
It said 'even
in the darkest hour you shine'
It said 'even in the darkest hour you shine'
Loaded
on
Layers and coats
Try to stand up, oh there I go
Down again
God it has been so long
Now I am marching in place
Pretending to say this all to his face
But you know, my guts they may never come
I shake, shake
from holding back
Someone's trying to get me back on track from my
spiral
You know even
in the darkest hour we shine
You know even in the darkest hour we shine
It'll save you when no one will ever try
And I got
answers super-glued under my knees
You know you gotta get me, out o’mye eye eye roooom
Outta my my my roooom
And off my
closet floor
Shh there's something outside the door
Making a
little heat
You're getting warmer now..
And even in my
darkest hour you shine
Even in my darkest hour you shine
Even in my darkest hour you shine....
everytime it
rains
(lyrics in brackets only on live / album
version, not on original MP3 posted to
Charlottemartin.com)
every time it rains i listen to the sky
i wonder what’s so great about sunshine
so everybody lives and everybody dies
and noone’s gonna love you like i do
(when it was getting dark
I didn't need a match
I never need a light to see you
you thought I'd disappear but
I was always here, oh
I could never get that far from you, though)
i misunderstand
and been misunderstood
love me cause you can and
not because you should
every time it rains
i know it’s good to be alive
every time it rains
i know i’m trying to survive
take it as it comes and take me as i am
i never was a good imposter
but I know how to dream
and don’t know where i stand
i’m willing to admit i try to hard
stop playing with my heart
i’m waiting by the phone
afraid to be myself
afraid to be alone
but every time it rains
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
i know it’s good to be alive
every time it rains
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
i know i’m trying to survive
and every time it rains
i'm gonna hide myself inside
every time it rains
every time i fall
every time i crawl and crawl and crawl
if i’m gonna beg, i’m gonna see it all
gonna bleed it all
and you know i’ll scream and scream and scream
every time it rains
i know i’m trying to survive..
I know it’s good to be alive
i know it’s good to be alive
girl i left behind
me
the girl i left behind me was bad at being good
the happiest arsonist that ever was
the happiest communist that ever was
the girl i left behind me-you said she wouldn't do
i know who i want to be-i want to be like you
so why do i change myself to be worthy of you
she's a needer
a bleeder
and likes to be on top
she's a girlfriend
a whirlwind
and not so logical
but she's an ocean in motion
and magical but you won't let her shine
the girl i left behind me
we've spoken once or twice
she says i have twice her strength well isn't that nice
she says i can call her anywhere or any time
she's a needer
a bleeder
i know that says a lot and
she's a girlfriend
a whirlwind
and not so logical
but she's an ocean in motion
and magical but you won't let her shine
you watch me as i fall apart for you
watch me as i fall apart for you
watch me as i waste myself and i waste myself and i waste
myself
the girl i left behind me
was bad at being good
the happiest arsonist that ever was
the happiest communist that ever was
haunted
Watch yourself
Before you crawl inside somebody else.
Were you here
to trap me like a 1000 bottle of tears?
Even though you disappeared
with no goodbye
I see you almost everywhere
You’re everywhere
I’m haunted
And all I see is you
I’m haunted
And all I need is you.
There is no one else
There is no one else
except for you.
I still dream
I won’t give up
until I wear your ring
(come close violate me)
Violate
And if you do it
Try not to be late
A hundred winters made the spring insane
A hundred nights without you
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
I’m haunted
And all I see is you
I’m haunted
And all I need is you
I can’t go too far
to find out where you are
I’m haunted
And all I see is you
I’m haunted
And everyone is you.
There is no one else
There is no one else
The memory burns
So deep in my heart
Through the hollow hours
You’re close to me.
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel
I’m haunted
I’m haunted
I’m haunted
And all I see is you.
I’m haunted
And everyone is you.
There is no one else
There is no one else
There is no one else
Except for you.
I don’t think I like rejection of my little girl affections
it’s not dope
I’ve been crawling on the walls just hoping you will call
while I’ve got hair and teeth
It’s not that I don’t have a life
Maybe it’s sad I’m sort of glad that I’m
I’m normal please date me
I won’t call you half as much as you call me
I’m normal please date me
I have only stalked a couple guys but they were not about
surprises
Don’t run away cause baby I’m your dream
I have got a lot of hobbies some of which include phone calls
that hang up
Quick- click
I was somewhat immature you won’t believe how getting dumped
makes
Girls grow up
All girls that say they don’t obsess are full of shit and
such a mess but
I’m normal please date me
I won’t call you half as much as you call me
I’m normal please date me
I have only stalked a couple guys but they were not about
surprises
Don’t run away cause baby I’m your...
There is no restraining order that will separate our love
that’s ever true
Even if I can’t convince you my probation officer is kind of
cute
I’m normal please date me
I won’t call you half as much as you call me
I’m normal please date me
I have only stalked a couple guys but they were not about
surprises
Don’t runaway cause baby I’m your dream

state of pain like mercury
hearing pink illusions
gorgeous at 85, older at 23
i drink the water out of time
i said has anybody seen the whirlpool floating in my
mind
i said has anybody seen
this is the low that i could find
i'm on solitary sand and
i've been stepped on by a man
but i've stood taller than i am
in parentheses
beauty queens are very shy
more than lash than meets your eye
so she jumps then wants to fly
it¹s too late now i'm in denial
i'll get medieval on boy-bands
i said is anybody listening
the way life makes the nice girls fast
i said is anybody listening
it isn't just unlucky chance
and i'm on solitary sand
and i've had bullshit from a man
but found exactly who i am
i'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry
i'll never be the little black dress we¹ve seen on natalie
b.
i'll never be 5'10", i'm barely 5'3"
i'm on solitary sand but in parentheses
Sharp move.
it’s funny how the intuition stabs you
I’m headfirst diving off the plank
Good Morning.
I’m green and mean and have a thousand eyes.
One small
Thin line is easy to erase all.
Crossing over Jordan with the
Lights off.
Better lock the door and not think twice.
Push me deep into your
English Channel.
Your palm sweat- it isn’t all that I can handle.
I love you, it is an understatement-natural.
Please babeee, keep keep me in your pocket.
All bets off
You kept your bitches in my
Sweet spot
And I got dibs and stitches
So I feel hot
You burn those hallmark cards but
Keep my words
I want wanna be your cigarette
I want wanna be your black jack best
I want wanna be that sweater
It won’t make this seem much better
Sink your
Teeth into the taste of me and
Squeeze hard
Till we can feel me splitting and you
Want more
And I want more you know I want it more.
Push me deep into your
English channel
Your palm sweat-it isn’t all that I can handle
I love you. We have an understanding-natural.
Please baby keep me in your pocket
I want wanna be your
cigarette
I want wanna be your blackjack best
I want wanna be that sweater
It won’t make this seem much better
last day on earth
once again you know my little world is caving in
i can’t struggle anymore my love i know our time is
over
i’m crawling and i’m clinging with no arms again
i face you in my sin
i pray you let me in
if it’s the last day on earth
it doesn’t matter what i say to you anymore
i won’t see any face but yours
before i slip away
so i’m cutting out my eyes and feeling faded now
life may fail me love will leave me but i still have faith in
something
the something that keeps clutching tight through empty
hours
oh here i go again oh here i go again
if it’s the last day on earth
it doesn’t matter what i say to you anymore
i won’t see any face but yours
before i slip away
i belong right here with you
and won’t you die to make me happy
won’t you drink me dry so i can slip away
if it’s the last day on earth
it doesn’t matter what i say to you anymore
i told the truth for what it’s worth
and now i’ll slip away
lightblinde
she breaks the rules and he falls into place
she makes the moon harrass the sun
the point of madness at her fingertips
he breaks….
she sucks him dry until he’s vaprozied
and what is left she gives to me
voices of reason start to fade away
i stay….
late at night we all run out
demons, saints must brawl
after dark, our eyes are safe
and lightblinde and lightblinde
she’s under water but she won’t need air
her daddy’s money made her well
he’s finally empty thanks to both of us
i care…
i stare…
late at night we all run out
demons, saints must brawl
after dark, our eyes are safe
and lightblinde and lightblinde
are you still dreaming
am i too late again
see if it’s safe for us to run away, run away
run away, run away
late at night we all run out
demons, saints, must fall
after dark our eyes are safe
late at night we all run out
demons, saints and all
after dark, our eyes are safe
and lightblinde and light blinde
many rivers
i think i’ll pray for a boat and i raincoat
i think i’ll pray for you
the time i waste with my soul on a stretcher
and all i put you through
and there are those who are scared of the dreamers
their lies become their truths
i try so hard to be your kind of woman
i try so hard for you
and i have not run out
although you thought i might
and i have not run dry and coming from my eyes
are many rivers
if you can’t breathe with your head under water
why should i be with you
and i’m left here all alone with my headtrip and
way too lost for you
and i have not run out
although you thought i might
and i have not run dry and coming from my eyes
are many rivers
i must follow where the deep water goes
i must follow you where nobody knows
i must follow you where ever it goes.. it goes
and i have not run out
although you thought i might
and i have not run dry and coming from my eyes
are every ounce of pain and i have fought the fight
and i have been let down and i will be alright
with many rivers
I’m so
uncertain of what’s growing in my head,
That’s how it goes when there are ghosts to put to bed.
What does it want from me certificates of certainty?
There must be help around the bend…
Oooh what
would I do without you?
What would I do?
Am I it’s
brother, it’s mother and it’s son?
Am I the product of everything it’s done?
Am I a woman cause I’m scared to be a man?
I’m reaching deep inside with every thing I am…
One by one
the voices make their rounds, I can’t believe
The monster I have hidden in my mouth
It has to scream…
Oooh what
would I do without you?
What would I do?
One by one the voices make their rounds, I can’t believe
The monster I
have hidden in my mouth it has to scream
All at once I give into it’s sound, remembering…
The monster I have hidden in my mouth,
It has to sing, it has to sing, it has to sing…
Did I just
have to live the chapter on regrets?
Should I just tell myself it’s easy to forget?
I cannot face my pain the same familiar way again
Cause we are more than who we are…
Oooh what
would I do without you?
What would I do?
on your shore
I dig my heels into the dirt cause this one’s gonna
hurt
Won’t let the waves wash me away is what I always pray
In my heart I know you didn’t see in the dark or find your
way through me
Now I’m alone my hands are numb how do I carry on
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
Now I’m held hostage in my head with every word you
said
God all those lessons in my past I spit them out so fast
I
See myself
With you I act so small see myself with you I always
crawl
So someone leave a raft for me the water’s getting deep
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
Here I am in my insecurity
Here I am with my damaged dignity
Here I am you’re pulling me in too deep
Here I am
Here I am, I’m in the mercy seat
Here I am, running without my feet
Here I am, oh what’s come over me
Here I am
When I was melting in your hand you didn’t understand
You slip through me like grains of sand you still don’t
understand
Overboard I’m thrown out to see what you are and what I mean
to me
But I will always have my dream where you can swim to
me
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
I’ve been on your shore before and it was no waste of
time
Over my head and in my mind
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive
one girl army
such a long time so much to say
she's bound and gagged 32 ways
ladies and tarts can i tell you a story for a half price and
a red shoe
everybody's got a price on them sometimes - maybe it's me
maybe it's you
she hangs around trailer park towns
cause that's who she was out of the crowd
what kinda shit do you talk, well baby i just hope that half
of it's true
everybody's got a price on them sometimes - maybe it's me
maybe it's you
chin up
every eye is on you
we don't guess the way you are cause
things are fine when everything is never fine
a one girl army up against the whole world now
scared of the dark - scared of the spark
spit in the flame, just don't get caught
chancellors are hiding all the answers, round and round i run
to throw them
for a loop
everybody's got a price on them sometimes - maybe it's me
maybe it's you
chin up
every eye is on you
we don't guess the way you are
cause things are fine when everything is never fine
a one girl army up against the whole world now
maybe she's your sister
girl inside the picture
maybe she's your mama
everybody's gotta have one
maybe she's your savior
dressed in drag and feathers
maybe for a dollar you can watch me dance
chin up
every eye is on you
we don't guess the way you are
cause things are fine when everything is never fine
a one girl army up against the whole world now
pretty thing
am i treading in your flow well maybe i don't want to know
that
we are gone before we go and you are upside down
waiting in the sweet debris to shock you into loving me
i'm not the way i used to be and i am still alive and i am
still alive
i am not your pretty thing
i am not your pretty thing
i am not your pretty thing
your seventeen your prom queen anymore
i might be too good for you
maybe you can get a clue
i'll never let you salt my wounds
so tell me who's pretty now
i don't know how a creep can sleep
and why your talk is always cheap
and what you're sowing you will reap
and you sure get around
you sure get around
i am not your pretty thing
i am not your pretty thing
i am not your pretty thing
your seventeen your prom queen
and you can't have the sun as the same time as rain
can't be wild and then be tame
cause i just found out you were caught being nasty
with a whole lot to say a whole lot to say
that's insane that's insane that's insane
i am not your pretty thing
i am not your pretty thing
i am not your pretty thing
your seventeen or prom queen anymore
Bring me back
to the time again when the fire is wild and the summer’s
red
And you walk through weeds just to make a garden
We loved too much and we loved too hard
And it went too fast and I went too far
Nothing could have stopped me back then
And I’m back
to my childhood I can’t believe
I was running
But wasn’t running from anything, anything yet.
Well,
the root still grows in the concrete fine
And you never think you’ll run out of time
the root still grows least that’s what I’m told
though the tree is scared of heights.
Don’t look
down it’s been 15 years
How did I get so far from what I hold dear
But I didn’t think I would need to think much
The air this high makes it hard to breathe
And all I wanted was something I could believe in
now I believe that when you’re leavin me you’re still
here
and the grass
will be scorched in the summer’s sting
and we’ll dance there, like it’s not seeing anything,
anything yet..
and the root still grows in the concrete fine
And you never think you’ll run out of time
the root still grows further than I know
though the tree is scared of heights
well I still
wait for anyone to keep their words
it’s like trying to start a fire that could not be
burned
so if you wanna cut me down you better aim low
and you look at me like I should’ve pleased ya
and you look at me like I still should need ya
and I need too much, you need to much to need this
to need
this
to need this
to need this wooa woooooa
to need
this
to need this
to need this wooa wooooa
to need
this
to need this to need this?
And the root
still grows in the concrete fine
And we never think we’ll run out of time
And the root
still goes further than you know
The root still goes further than you know
The root still
grows least that’s what I’m told
Though the tree is scared of heights
Hmm. Eh
hey.
Hmm. Eh hey.
Hmm. Eh hey.
something like a
hero
hello boys
got directions to the bombshell factory?
and a bowflexing nightmare tendency?
hesitate, where's the tape my retired beauty queen?
hello girls
truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours.
and could lipgloss save a nation mr.powers?
come into what's my own disappear zone-close my ears
close my eyes
in the world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress
size...
so who are we? who's the judge, and are you something like a
hero?
no mistakes..
different versions of the girl right next to you..
and i'm knocking on your door and can't get through.
and i cry and i sigh and i try to
close my ears
close my eyes
in the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of
lies...
so who are we? who's the judge and are you
something like a hero?
dull sensations, push them to the walls
and the thorns that fall, have the guts to walk upon them
all
halfway there
i was waiting by the phone for you to care
and i can't make a seed grow anywhere-
so i wait, so i wait, are you out there?
close my eyes
i close my ears
in the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of
fears...
so who are we? who's the judge and are you something like a
hero?
are you something like a hero?
(album version has "chant and scramble" here)
and I’m all for it and I
don’t know, and not for sure if I’m face down frowned on the
ground or if the devil’s gonna get me if I make make make
make myself into a wave out there and I’m never gonna ache
like this again and I’m never gonna ‘scape from here.
So I swim and you keep me keep me and I’m turning half blue true and I’m on on on, out out out out of last words, last words? and I’m half baked and I side stroke- side go- slide go. Pain pain pain no pain. Pain pain pain no pain. Choke choke choke lift me out, sift me out- keep me Lord keep me Lord so I won’t go down down down keep me in the rhythm as I float out of my misery oh and I’m far too gone, and I’m far too gone oh and I’m far too hey. I’m far too gone oh I’m far too gone for you to go there. And I’m far too gone for you to go there honey and I’m far too gone for you to go there.
talk to
strangers
how long how long have you been asleep dear
i will search for answers that are lost
i can’t change the way you feel at all
i can’t wait, wait for you forever
my millionth dream gets sucked into your eyes
you think that i have been okay i’m not fine
so i’ll go talk to strangers
and i will love too fast
and i’ll burn so bright i’ll run out of light
and i won’t last
why do you want to keep me in a cold room?
why do you close your eyes to look at me?
dreams can’t change the girl you see at all
so i’ll go talk to strangers
and i will love too fast
and i’ll burn so bright i’ll run out of light
and i won’t last
maybe there is some comfort in the mystery
close encounters-none of them are you
i can’t make myself look sane it’s true
so i’ll go talk to strangers
and i will love too fast
and i’ll burn so bright i’ll run out of light oh watch
me
i’ll go talk to strangers
and i will love too fast
and i’ll love all wrong and i’m not that strong and
i won’t last
silver honey
a little ache that's all
stomach that's frozen in a sigh was she more than a
test-drive doll
orange shirts could make her go blind
he caught her by the throat instead of the mind
now she's needing an angel to fly her down to the other
side
but in the silver lake, silver spoon
the dirty tinsel neighborhood
she could reinvent her world cause
there's silver honey for the test-drive girl
remember the nights she needed a near by rescue crew
dreaming herself infrared and not knowing what to do
circling and circling and spinning around
finding ways to peel herself off of the ground
now the empty chatter in her head never shakes the
sound
but in the silver lake
sandy's spoon moved out of the neighborhood well
she could reinvent her world
cause there's silver honey for the test-drive girl
purple hand on the stand
a getaway in a sudan well
things went slighty out of hand
there's silver honey for her test-drive man
well in the silver lake flooding through
the midnight vulture in your stew
well, she could reinvent her world
there's silver honey for the test-drive girl
silver mine silver spine
wiping out the cocaine line
and honey for the second time
there's silver honey for your test-drive mind
raven
kings to follow child to teach
fools to swallow - girl is fast asleep
statue stare place to reach
watching jeffery fall asleep
daddy hugs dogs to walk
books to lug
hands to talk a fever in my naive brain

Every tree has got her
root and every girl forbidden fruit
as well as demons..
And the path I chose to go, a different girl so long
ago,
well I had my reasons..
And she’s in my head so loud and screaming
“should you be proud of what you came from”?
“you’ve been crippled and you’ve walked and you’ve been shut
up and you’ve talked so let’s talk some more”..
Where is the hand for me
to reach?
Where is the moral I’ll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, I am redeemed…
And it’s ripping at my
heart cause I’ve been dodging all these darts
and on a slow train
And I wear it till it tatters and it shatters on the
floor
in instant replay
Well we’re all rotten and we’re pure and we’re just looking
for a cure that feels like spring snow
And what we have is what we are and where we’ve been got us
this far so let me go…
Where is the hand for me
to reach?
Where is the moral I’ll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, I am redeemed…
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah
Oh ho oh ho oh ho …2x
Where is the hand for me
to reach?
Where is the moral I’ll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, through all the
pain
and unbelief- these are the words that they all
scream..
I am redeemed
We are steel
We don’t feel anything at all
He took me in his
arms
But then he squeezed too hard
He wouldn’t let me breathe, breathe, breathe
It’s been too many
years
I’ve hurt too many times
To give up everything, thing, thing
I am steel
I don’t feel anything at all
The way I’ve been
confused
The way that I’ve been used
And spit out on your dime
And still you lead me on
And still you take me down
And say it’s in my mind
Well I’ve seen hell and
back
I’ve hidden in the dark with
No one there at all, all, all
I’ve scraped us back to
life
I’ve laced up both my boots
So try and twist the knife, knife, knife
I am steel
I don’t feel anything at all
We are steel
We don’t feel anything at all
We don’t feel anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at all…
Come
down
The ground’s not soft enough to catch you
In your fall, it seems small when you have been that
high
And I don’t believe I’ll ever understand your good-bye
And these
bones will rise again all in good time
And these eyes will shine again just fine
My heart
This cave of cries and many questions
Be brave, get to the other side
Keep on, keep strong
For every pot of gold a shipwreck lies
And these
bones will rise again all in good time
And these eyes will shine again just fine
There is a
wheel that’s still turning we all are in
And there is a fire still burning, and my hands are
singed
There is a road that keeps going without an end, without an end, without an end a whoa, whoa whoa oh…whoa whoa whoa oh…whoa whoa whoa oh…
And these
bones will rise again all in good time
And these eyes will shine again..just fine.
She loved to cry
She used to hide in closets and I don’t know why
So do I
I do it cause I heard that tears can make you high
All ablaze
Her eyes were something higher than a normal gaze
Written down
Was every dream she had alive; inside I knew that it had
died
She was touched by fire
She was touched by fire
But there was nothing left to burn
There was nothing left to burn
So it goes
The seasons change inside my heart and no one knows
Like wind that blows
It creeps into my hollow parts. You wonder why my soul
Gets cold?
I was touched by fire
I was touched by fire
But there was nothing left to burn
There was nothing left to burn
There was nothing left to burn
There’s no reason
There’s a season for the messes
There’s one treason
And no reason reason reason reason
She loved to cry
She used to hide in closets and I don’t know why
So do I
I do it cause I heard that tears can make you
high
It's 3 a.m. and I have
been
in my head for quite some time.
Every fear, every tear has been swirling in my mind
And there are still a 100 reasons
I shouldn't walk away.
Do I love you if I leave you?
You had no name.
I was up all night
waiting for some kind of miracle.
I was up all night
feeling alone in the universe.
I was up all night.
When morning comes
I will tell you (tell you)
it's life I have to chase.
With every song that I sing
will be written by your face.
And if you're really meant to be
then you'll be back again.
And I watch as your beginning
turns into the end.
I was up all night
waiting for some kind of miracle.
I was up all night
feeling alone in the universe.
I was up all night.
If it is you, or if it is me that you save
I'm still throwing it all away.
I was up all night.
With a kick inside
in the dark you hide.
And we both know how the end will be.
In your little tide (??),
with your eyes shut wide
and we both know how the end will be (how the end will
be).
I was up all night
waiting for some kind of miracle.
I was up all night
feeling alone in the universe.
I was up all night.
If it is you, or if it is me that you save
I'm still throwing it all away.
I was up all night.
(demo version has backing vocal of "I'm bending until I break for you" for the last 30 seconds)
Would you like the chance
to shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for
me?
Round and round and round we run, and pretend the sun is all
you need
I’ve never known a moment
to be frozen
You’re making deals with minutes that will slip away, just
slip away
So starve the garden stop the rain-
Winter settles on my petals anyways…anyways
Is your armor thin again
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Nothing into something
into nothing
Every rule you break means there’s no turning back, no
looking back.
The words that I could never say -
The clutter that is in your way is nothing new..nothing
new
Is your armor thin
again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found…
Wandering between the
girl you search for and the one you leave
And I cannot wait..
Chasing you around the room is tempting
So near and far away from meaning anything to you-
But just remember if you’re jumping, I would start my jump
off
Running after you..
Is your armor thin
again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Do you want to be found?
