White Lies - To Lose My Life... (2009) by White Lies (보컬) on maniadb.com

I love the feeling when we lift off
Watching the world so small below
I love the dreaming when I think of
The safety in the clouds out my window

I wonder what keeps us so high up
Could there be a love beneath these wings?
If we suddenly fall should I scream out
Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth
as i'm crying so frightened of dying
Relax yes, I'm trying
This fears got a hold on me

Yes, this fears got a hold on me

I love the quite of the night time
when the sun in the deathly sea
I can feel my heart beating as I speed from
Then sense of time catching up with me

The sky set out like a pathway
but who decides which route we take
as people drift into a dream world
I close my eyes as my hands shake

And when I see a new day
who's driving this anyway
I picture my own grave
cause fears got a hold on me

Yes, this fears got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down I wonder
when I'll hit the ground
well the earth beneath my body shake
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
Could it tremble stars from moon light skies?
Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes?
I live on the right side, I sleep in the left
That's why everything's got to be love or death

Yes, this fears got a hold on me

He said to lose my life
or lose my love
That's the nightmare
I've been running from
So let me hold you
in my arms a while
I was always
careless as a child
And there's a part of me
that still believes
My soul will soar
above the trees
But a desperate fear flows
through my blood
That our dead loves
buried beneath the mud

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
I said I've got no time
I have to go
And I was more right
then now I'll ever know
He said my heart is faint
will minds regret
And left him crying
next to the chapels steps

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
He said
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
He said

He said to lose my life
or lose my love
That's the nightmare
I've been running from
So let me hold you
in my arms a while
I was careless as a child
There's a part of me
that still believes
My soul will soar
above the trees
A desperate fear flows
through my blood
Our dead loves
buried beneath the mud
A desperate fear flows
through my blood
Our dead loves
buried beneath the mud

Did I sit alone and ask about my future?
When you replied I just turned away
I've been searching through my books
to try and find some truth
Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way

And if I made a promise Could I stay by your side?
Would you guarantee my safety
And say that I'd be all right?

But if Judgment Day started tonight at least
I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I'll think we'll be alright, girl

And I can see it on the TV, there's an air attack
People of the mountains screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
so come on and let me in
Need a place to hide,
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times when I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
So I think my friendly sins are here to stay

And I could make a promise with a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind

And if Judgment Day started tonight at least
I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright, girl

And I can see it on the TV, there's an air attack
People on the mountains screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
so come on and let me in
Need a place to hide,
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

Before the storm begins, before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

On the cusp of vessel 18
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops

I know you're sad I'm leaving
So this may hurt a little
But girl look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy
you loved start burning in the sky

We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth

We thought about our loved ones
Tallied 50 on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave me in the spring
The sun beat at the windows
Within an hour james had cracked
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings

(start burning in the sky)

Just give me a second darling
to clear my head
Just put down those scissors
baby On the single bed
The sand in the hour glass is
running low
I came through thunder
the cold wind the rain and the snow
To find you awake
by your window sill
A sight for sore eyes
and a view to kill

I broke down in horror at
you standing there
The glow from the moon
shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion
I love you so much
But feeling my skin
it was cold to the touch
You whispered where are you
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were
talking to God now

You got blood your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get of your low
let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low
let's kiss like we used to

I looked in the mirror
but something was wrong
I saw you behind
but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace
as white as the snow
A voice then came gently
It's your time to go
That record you played
as you beg for forgiveness
Don't touch me I screamed
I've got unfinished business

You got blood your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get of your low
let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low
let's kiss like we used to
You got blood your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get of your low
let's dance like we used to
But there's a light in the distance
waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low
let's kiss like we used to

If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there

You can tie my hands to the walls
But you can't tie my dreams to this place
I might fall like a rock from your heart
But you won't see me fall from grace

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there

I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor
And my fears with the nurse on the stairs
I'm only going where you'll be some day
So don't say, "Rest In Peace" in your prayers

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never forget about me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you

I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral,
He took the time out to be seen.
His eyes kept glancing
to the hour hand on the gold watch,
that he'd been given by a magazine.

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon,
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
Crossed his arms,
gave a sigh and checked the time again,
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.

He catches raindrops on his window,
it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities,
where we've never felt so small

Rain drops from his window
making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising
as another raindrop lands

He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel,
Passing through the sick streets
where he was born
He said
"Driver, what's happened to these buildings?
They all look run down and so alone."

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,
Put the Do not Disturb on his door
When the maid came in the morning
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor

He catches raindrops on his window,
it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities,
where we've never felt so small

Rain drops from his window
making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising
as another raindrop lands

He catches raindrops on his window,
it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities,
where we've never felt so small

Rain drops from his window
making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising
as another raindrop lands

The light still in our eyes
We`re leaving this old fairground behind
It`s a dream that`s growing cold
The circus never dies
The act forever haunts these skies
I know we cannot stay
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren`t working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
This place used to gleam
I`d see it in my hopeful dreams
Now I have to get away
We move towards the stars
And all that we touch becomes ours
Let`s keep warm `til it`s day
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren`t working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
We`ll head south just hold my hand now
I feel like I`m casting off my clothes
n I`m running through the snow towards the sunset
and I`m always with you
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There`s no place like home
There`s no place like home
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There`s no place like home
There`s no place like home
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There`s no place like home
There`s no place like home
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There`s no place like home
There`s no place like home
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There`s no place like home
There`s no place like home
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There`s no place like home
There`s no place like home
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren`t working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
We`ll head south just hold my hand now
I feel like I`m casting off my clothes
n I`m running through the snow towards the sunset
and I`m always with you...

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn't felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favorite fables
which I'm yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I've got nothing to give

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
But saying -
that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died

I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back those promises I made to everyone
I'm falling through a ribbon last
Before I'd learned to run

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
But saying -
that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died
I almost died

"Don't lay a finger"
I said but he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hand on her thigh
"One million in a week or the girl's gonna go"
"I'd kill you in a second"
He laughed
"Yeah I know"

I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
But it's not enough to win her back
As my tears hit the floor he still said
"Come on man give me some slack"
I looked at the case he said
"I'll show you her blood"
I screamed down the phoneline
"So is this the price of love?"

When I stare in your eyes
I see the image of God
Well girl listen out for the phonecall
and pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past nine
and said "I've done all I can"
He said
"You win some you lose some
I feel bad for you man"

He slammed down the phone
and took his coat from the bed
She said "What happens now"
"Well to your husband you're dead"
She said
"I love you" and pleaded for her hero to stay
But knew deep inside that he'd planned it this way

"I gave him my heart now he's left it to die
And I know I can't go back"
He walked out the room shouted
"See you around"
She said "Come on give me some slack"
He said "There's no hope
but babe you can wait for that dove"
She screamed from the window
"So is this the price of love?"

So is this the price of love?
