The Fray - The Fray (2009) by The Fray (보컬) on maniadb.com

Halfway around the world
Lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
First thing that arises in your mind while you awake
Is bending you til you break
Let me hold you now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Baby don't forget
You haven't lost it all yet

Don't know what your made of
Til the one thing that you want
To come in with the dawn and suddenly changes
Monday, syndicate meets everyone the same
But all we've lost to the flame
Listen to me now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

Someday when this is over
We may still have no answer
For now it's when I hold ya
We are closer, we are closer
We are closer, we are closer

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
And all we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

We are closer
We are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
Now we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer

I've seen this one before,
the girl she gets away
Everybody knows it
but no one tries to stop it
Cause she barely even knows him
but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as
she waits to tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

It's a kiss sits upon on her lips
that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer
and he has got a picture
On his wall and
it's a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble
like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

I found God
On the corner of
First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All along
Smoking his last cigarette
I said Where you been
He said Ask anything
Where were you
When everything was
falling apart
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of
First and Amistad
Lost and insecure
You found me you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded surrounded
Why'd you have to wait
Where were you
Where were you
Just a little late
You found me you found me
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will
be next to me
Lost and insecure
You found me you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded surrounded
Why'd you have to wait
Where were you
Where were you
Just a little late
You found me you found me

Early morning
The city breaks
I've been callin'
For years and years
and years and years
And you never
left me no messages
Ya never send me no letters
You got some kinda nerve
Taking all i world
Lost and insecure
You found me you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Where were you
Where were you
Lost and insecure
You found me you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded surrounded
Why'd you have to wait
Where were you
Where were you
Just a little late
You found me you found me
Why'd you have to wait
To find me to find me

I see you there, don't know where you come from
Unaware but you're still from someone
Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you
What's your name? Cause I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
I'm terrified cause
we're heading straight for it, might Get it

Hear the song playin on background
All alone but you're turnin up now
And everyone is risin to meet ya, to greet you
Turn around and you're walkin toward me
I'm breakin down and you're breathin slowly
Say the word
and I will be your man, your man, say when

(*Chorus*)
And my own two hands will comfort you
tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
tonight, tonight

Come close and then even closer
We bring it in but we go no further
We're seperate two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer
Later on if it turns to chaos,
hurricane comin all around us
See the crack, pull it back from the window,
you stay low, say when

(*Chorus*)
And my own two hands will comfort you
tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
tonight, tonight

Come across you're lost and broken
You're coming to, but you're slow and waking
You start to shake,
you still haven't spoken, what happened
They're comin back and you just don't know it
And you wanna cry but there's nothin comin
They're gonna push until you give in, say when
Now we're here and it turns to chaos,
hurricane comin all around us
They're gonna crack,
don't you back from the window, you stay low
It all began with the man and country
Every plan turns another century around again
And another nation fallen

Maybe God can be on both sides of the gun
Never understood why some of us never get it
so good, so good
Some of this was here before us,
All of this will go after us
Never stops until we give in, give in, say when

(*Chorus*)
And my own two hands will comfort you
tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
tonight, tonight
Say when

And my own two hands will comfort you
tonight, tonight...

Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without and just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of, together all the while

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go

Picture, you're queen of everything
Far as the eye can see under your command
I will be your guardian when all is crumbling
I'll steady your hand

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time, time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go

We're pulling apart and coming
Together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together
Pull it together again
Don't let me go

Trying not to lose my head
But I have never been this scared before
Tell you what I'll do instead
Lay my body down on the floor
To forget what I've done
Silhouette 'til the good lord come

All we know is distance
We're close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one

Trying not to lose your own
Boxing up everything, you've got
All you ever knew of home
You're scared, scared to see
Your mother there in the door
You wonder where did the years go

All we know is distance
We're close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one

But this is how the story ends
Or have we just begun
To kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
The violins make no sound
And I begin to feel the ground

All we know is distance
We're close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one

But this is where the story ends
Or have we just begun
To kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one

The daughter's father watches,
quietly we assume
He's not longer with us
but he left this dusty room
In your name and it's an honor,
it's a shame but it's your honor
Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another

That's enough for now,
he should've never left you broken
He should've held you,
things your father never could do

That's enough for now,
he would've never left you broken
He would've held you,
things your father never told you

The century before you
never could turn twenty one
Years and years he waited,
just watching for a son
For someone to go ahead,
take the name he said
Years and years he waited
and a daughter came instead

But that's enough for now,
he should've never left you broken
He should've held you,
things your father never could do

That's enough for now,
he would've never left you broken
He would've held you,
things your father never told you

Breathing comes in pairs, except for twice
One begins and one's goodbye

Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss

But that's enough for now,
he never wanted to leave you broken
He would've held you,
things your father never told you

That's enough for now,
I would've never left you broken
I would've held you,
things your father never could do
Words your father never told you

Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss

Don't talk, don't say a thing
'Cause your eyes,
they tell me more than your words

Don't go, don't leave me now
'Cause they say the best way out is through

And I am short on words
Knowing what's occurred
She begins to leave because of me

Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour

I know you're leaving now
'Cause I held on to my way tightly
Stay still until you know
Tomorrow finds the best way out is through

And I am short on words
Knowing what's occurred
She begins to leave because of me

Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour

I don't know you
But I know what you did to her
She told me and
I happen to believe her too

They will be three steps behind
You will not know what's got you
Oh, so you're sorry now
All is not well, it's not ended

Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater

You've been quiet
There are things that you do not speak of
But if you stay gone
A little longer, your keys won't work

'Cause I will be two steps behind
You will not know what's got you
Oh, so you're sorry now
All is not well, it's not ended

Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater

Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it'd crash blowing eighty miles an hour
But happiness is a little more like knocking
On your door, you just let it in

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone, not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
'Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself that's enough for now
But happiness has a violent roar

Happiness, it's like the old man told me
Look for it and you'll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day you'll wake up and she'll be home

she'll be home
