Lyrics

mine again. there’s a place I used to go. there’s a world I used to know. there was a light and it was you. every word I say is true. I say every day I will wait till you’re mine again. I will die every day till you’re mine again. there’s no words to explain no beginning and no end. I will dream I will pray you’ll be mine again. I can see you dressed in red all the secret things you said lying barefoot in the grass now my heart is in your hands. it’s just time that runs between us. it’s the ocean underneath us. it’s the picture that won’t fade away.

weightless I can see, see you there hanging weightless in the air wind and sunlight in your hair. I can see you there. your olive skin your secret smile betrayed again a secret island in your mind lost forever lost before your time. who is to say who is to know the truth? when no one is left and nothing they said can save you. who is to say who is to blame and who will you give yourself to? when nobody wants more than I want you. broken glass a bleeding wrist a second chance for a simple kiss. I waited for you at the edge. could you take such a risk? on your knees on your back who’d you call when things got bad? did they answer? did you ask? ‘cause I would answer I would tell you this.

ghost in your mind on a bus in a dream I could see you. you were beautiful. a girl in a dress I could see through. and the colors that surround you like neon on the avenue the people all around you were dust in my eyes. and I wanted to believe you the lies that I could see through but I never got between you and the ghost in your mind yeah the ghost in your mind. it’s there in your eyes there in your voice but you’re far away. it’s there in your eyes there on your face but you’re far away. far away. on a day like today I remember how beautiful you could be to me. and the colors that surround you like a prince had come and found you picked you up and crowned you in the land of the blind. and I wanted to believe you the lies I could see through but I never got between you and the ghost in your mind yeah the ghost in your mind.

the real you. let me stay a little while. I’ll be gone girl before the sun can rise. I know you’re scared. I know your father’s mad. I know they’re saying in the end I’ll make you sad. but I won’t give up and I don’t mind waiting I can wait another day. no I won’t give up and I don’t mind watching but I can’t walk away. cause I lost my shadow lost my heart. broke my back and crashed my car and I know that I’ve got one last chance to show you the real you. so will you say a little while. everything is easy when you let me see you smile. and I’ll go down before it’s through. there’s nothing secret that I wouldn’t do for you.

broken heart she looks good with a broken heart. she makes an easy mark. yeah, I hate to be rough I like her so much I don’t know where to start. she looks good with her eyes red. it matches her long red dress. I like the way that she walks the way that she talks no matter what she says. yeah you know I know my sugar there’s no one sweeter than you. and you know I know my sugar that no one else ever will do. she knows I need it but I’ve had enough for now she looks good with a broken heart. I’d like to see you fly up in the brooklyn sky. so don’t slit your wrist don’t jump off a bridge it’s gonna be alright. but if you bring your love around don’t bring me down. I like your face it’s such a waste when you wear that frown.

this night there are things I have done. there’s a place I have gone. there’s a beast and I let it run now it’s running my way. there are things I regret that you can’t forgive you can’t forget. there’s a gift that you sent you sent it my way. so take this night and wrap it around me like a sheet. I know I’m not forgiven but I need a place to sleep. so take this night and lay me down on the street. I know I’m not forgiven but I hope that I’ll be given some sleep. there’s a game that I played. there are rules I had to break. there’s mistakes that I made but I made them my way.

sun & moon stand outside in the falling rain. I’m here again and I’ll never let you down. hold myself to the rising flame. I will rise again and I’ll never let you down. I set myself on fire against the falling night. set myself on fire so I could see the light. if I stand out in the open I can find my way and I’m hoping you can stay the night into the day. you are the sun you are the moon and I’ll never let you down. you are the sun you are the moon and I’ll never let you down. girls get lost in the falling dark but I hit my mark and I’ll never let you down. girls get lost but I found the road and I’m not alone. I’ll never let you down. well I set myself on fire against the fading light. I set myself on fire so I could beat the night. If I stand out in the open I can find my way and I’m hoping you can stay the night into the day.

good so tonight’s your big night and someone’s here to meet. when you hit that spotlight let the world rise up to greet you. we’re gonna take their heads you’re gonna turn them sideways. gonna take their heads gonna hit that highway. cause it’s not enough to feel without feeling good yeah it’s good good good come on baby come on. yeah it’s all good good well dress yourself right and no one here can beat you. be that satellite. let the world rise up to meet you, yeah. cause it’s not enough to feel without feeling good. it’s all I want. yeah it’s all I need. [baseball version: come on boys come on, yeah it's all good!]

pictures of people well nothing gets done. and everyone’s tired. yeah but everything’s fine. everything comes in it’s own good time. pictures of people in magazines. I think they’re trying to tell me something. pictures of people I’ve never met living inside my tv set. and my heart gets so full driving around this town. feel like dr. zhivago lost in chicago. these pictures of people never alone or confused just looking for something left at the side of the road. these pictures of people I never talk to. I wanna say ‘I’m pleased to meet you.’ these pictures of people I could believe in if there was a way I could touch and feel them. and I’ll never see the same again. no I’ll never see the same again. and everything gets quiet. I need help to remember. and I feel no regret for the kindness of strangers come down through the airwaves. never alone or afraid just searching for something left at the side of the road. pictures of people. people around me never run out of things to tell me. these pictures of people here in my mind. I carry them with me all of the time. and I’ll never see the same again. what’s left of you my friend. how can I miss you? I’ve never met you. pictures of people.

a day alone and the light inside of all your favorite songs turns the whole world on. it’s what we want. and it shines. oh it shines. it’s what I found in you. I hope you feel it too ‘cause without you I’d be lost. give a little of what could make you free (a day alone is wasted time for me). give a little of what you want to be (a day alone is wasted time for me). give a little love and you will see (a day alone is wasted time). I’m waiting here for you. you know what to do. and the sight of your smile turns me inside out. it just breaks me down. I make no sound and I remember why I shouldn’t trust my mind. it’s just a waste of time ‘cause without you I am lost

gone I don’t think with my head. but there’s a couple things to say that should be said. number one, loving you was fun. I’m sorry if I hurt you. number two goes like this. if you listen close you can feel my kiss. cause I’m gone. I’m gone. you know it you know by now. that I’m gone. I’m gone. you know by now that I’m gone. I don’t give. I don’t take. I don’t talk to you. I don’t tell you what I feel. as if i feel. do you understand? I’m hollow and i’m gone.

the window there is a window, a place where you used to appear. and I found myself watching, waiting for you to appear. and all of the hours, all of those days, I spent my time waiting for a look at your face. and I, I know that I’m hopeless, I know that I’m lost. since the day you disappeared there’s a line that I crossed. and all of the hours were never a waste. I’d spend my life waiting for a look at your face. I could never replace. everything I’ve dreamed of or prayed for is waiting for me in your eyes. so give me an answer, let me make my mistake. give me a moment, let me fall on my face. cause I have been drifting and now I am found. it was you in the window, now it’s you on the ground. and I’m coming down.

bulletproof we’re gonna get free. we’re gonna get free. we’re gonna get free. it’s bulletproof.

a new prayer wind in my heart. dust in my head. I need something like a drug that won’t fuck me up. something like pain that won’t go away keeping me awake. I need something like a girl you know making me work but inside not outside. I need a window a way out of these mirrors. something that matters more than survival. something to keep me hold me broken and lonely that can keep me alive. I need a new prayer. I need a new prayer to pray. I need a new word. I need a new word to say. yeah it’s only silence. only silence. I need something like sleep like a dream but perfectly real a sharp blade of grass kick my ass something inside and not outside something that kills that can bring me back something that’s perfectly matched to the place where I come in the middle of the place where I come that can pick me off the ground when I’m done that can hold me to flame and let it burn me down. I need a new prayer. another sun. get me in this. I won’t wait for you. when all is fought and won can’t believe what I have done this soul. I need a new prayer. I need new. it’s only silence. perfection. completion.

river of joy I heard you say a word it was something that wasn’t clear. I heard you say something that was sucked down in my ears. I thought you could tell me. I got it all wrong. I hear the sound of your voice even when you are gone. it’s the sound it’s the sound of the river of joy. it’s the sound and it’s ringing at me. she could turn but she was asleep. she could turn but she was asleep. could you hear? could you think? could you believe if you saw it with your eyes? . it’s the sound it’s the sound of the river of joy.

living too fast every detail spoken inside my mind. every action catching me from behind. every firefight bullets inside my… I can’t turn my head around sideways cover my back don’t let me down. you swear. you say I’m living too fast. I know you say. black summer windows shot out below. black winter fire in the hole. I’m running nowhere left to go. I can’t turn my head around sideways cover my back don’t break me down. you swear. you say I’m living too fast. I know you say. nine eight seven six five four three two one gotta burn gotta burn the sun.

lonely boy (miss volatile remix) you say you like to sleep alone and I say I miss the way you breathe. you say I get away with murder but you know I’ve paid for hurting someone I can’t leave behind. do you feel something pulling you back in? do you see something you want to see again? I could be the one I could make it up to you. take me back I’m the lonely boy who
loves you. you say my broken heart becomes me. I say I’d sell it cheap to you. you say I should wrap all the lies I’ve told in ten dollar bills and smoke them money doesn’t burn so clean.

hole in my heart so I’ve been watching you. there’s nothing I’m missing now except you. and I’m missing you. and I take your mind. the hole in my heart. the hole in my heart is you. the hold in my heart is you. all these words they go so far alone. all these words they go so far alone. let go. let go. I want to take everything that lies between us. I want to strip it down to the bone. I want to put my hands around you from behind you. I want to push until you cough up a lung. do you understand? the hole in my heart is you. I want to put you down on a mattress put your face up against the wall. I want to let you ravish me like a demon like heaven before the fall. break me. you’re the hole in my heart. I want to make you understand me. I want to wrap your skin around me. come on come on. let go of your heart. let go. let go.

when worlds collide fight it when worlds collide. it’s all that I can do is try to understand. when worlds collide. pick the pieces up pick the pieces up. fight it. at this time. on this ground. when worlds collide in your holy war. it’s all that I can do. fight it.

ecstasy (switchblade remix) mind like a switchblade. heart doubled over in pain. now your sisters have gone one by one. one took jesus one took the gun. and each song leads to one more song the future on your back. I guess I should feel lucky just to get to be your past. cause everyone’s in ecstasy. and everyone’s lonely. but is anybody happy? cause everyone’s in ecstasy underneath it all. and everyone’s lonely no one there at all. but is anybody happy or it just the alcohol? I don’t know. I don’t know. and I never saw your world come down. that familiar sound. and I never thought you would pull me down that the world would pull me down.

remember (Alex Kemp remix) It was wild in the street wild in the night. blistering cold in the cold daylight I could feel your hands pushing hard on me. and all the fights that I tried to fight fair all the nights that you spent with me I swear. do you remember? ’cause I remember. do you remember? ’cause I remember what you said to me. remember like it was just some dream. but I lost my faith. did you lose yours too? would you bleed for me? I would bleed for you and the blood gets thick at the end of the night you in my sheets like a sodium light. I could feel your skin coming off your soul reeling me in like there’s nothing you don’t know. and I won’t speak. I won’t write. I won’t call you on the phone. won’t listen to my mind if I hear you call me home.

a stone’s throw is this a ship I have heard of? is this a room I prayed in? is this a mirror where I appeared? strike it from my vision. I don’t think I have been I don’t think I have seen. set in your eyes where I go. slip it inside where I know. you put your body on the floor. yeah yeah you’re a stone’s throw. you’re a stone’s throw. yeah you give me the slip. but I know where you live. you’re just a stone’s throw from one of the places I go. and I have followed you there. I have watched you at night through the curtains as your brushed your hair. I never wanted to intrude. I just wanted to get to know you. I guess the situation got a little of hand. bring me home. you’re a stone’s throw.

this blood this blood. wake the night. is going to wake the night. this blood. this blood is going to wake the night.
