The Swell Season - Low Rising



I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna pull back the veils
And find out what it is I´ve done wrong
I wanna tear these curtains down
I want you to meet me somewhere
Tonight in this old tourist town
And we´ll go



Low rising
´Cause we´ve gotta come up
We´ve gotta come up
Low rising
´Cause I fear we´ve had enough
Low rising
´Cause there´s no further for us to fall
Low rising
Oh for the love of you



I wanna take you to the rock
I wanna jump right in
And see what that big ocean´s got
I wanna turn this thing around
I wanna drink with you
All night till we both fall down
Till we go



Low rising
´Cause we´ve gotta come up
We´ve gotta come up
Low rising
´Cause there´s no further for us to fall
Low rising
And I fear we´ve had enough
Low rising
Oh for the love of you



Low rising
´Cause we´ve gotta come up
We´ve gotta come up
Low rising
And I fear we´ve had enough
Low rising
´Cause there´s no further for us to fall
Low Rising
Oh for the love of you



For the love of you

Low rising low rising

I wanna sit you down and talk

I wanna sit you down and talk about it now

Well I'm heading back
To pack a bag
To head out on the road
To take away what I know is mine

And I'm running down
Past the yellow house
With Joe into the breeze
Where no one seems to care

And I'm feeling the pull
Dragging me off again
And I'm feeling so small
Against the sky tonight

Well stories of an open line
And every time we work ourselves up into a rage

We smash and grab we pull the handle no one says
But everyone wants to be the one just climbing out

And I'm feeling the pull
Dragging me off again
And I'm feeling so small
Against that big sky tonight, tonight yeah

And I'm feeling the pull
Dragging me off again
And I'm feeling so small
Against the big sky tonight

And I'm feeling the pull
Dragging me on again
And I'm feeling so small
Against the big moon sky tonight, tonight oh

Use the truth
As a weapon
To beat up all your friends
Every chink in the armor
An excuse to cause offense
And the boys from the hallway
Calling out your name
And true love will,
Find them in the end

You are restless
I was somewhere less secure
So I went running to the road
And so now that the longest of places I was
I quit my rambling and come home

Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

And your saints
And your mantra
And your things, to keep you calm
If you stay
With that asshole
Is gonna do you harm
As the voice singing loudly on the radio
Just for you
And good fortune
Will find him in the end

Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Well I`m heading back
To pack a bag
To head out on the road
To take away what I know is mine

And I`m running down
Past the yellow house
With Joe into the breeze
Where no one seems to care

And I`m feeling the pull
Dragging me off again
And I`m feeling so small
Against the sky tonight

Well stories of an open line
And every time we work ourselves up into a rage

We smash and grab we pull the handle no one says
But everyone wants to be the one just climbing out

And I`m feeling the pull
Dragging me on again
And I`m feeling so small
Against that big moon sky tonight

This diamond's growing in the mountains
Beneath the pressure of all time
The glow in hope and expectation
Waiting for your hands to find
'Cause only you could reach inside me
And figure out the worth
Of a life I live providing
What it was you needed most

And if everything's meausured
By the hole it leaves behind
Then this mountain has been leveled
And there's no more diamonds in the mine
Go on now just leave it
The timing wasn't right
And the force that swept us both away
Was too strong for us to fight

Fantasy man you are always
one step ahead of me
well I never heard a warning
I haven't got things right
if the sun came out this morning
and filled my room with light
so go now you are forgiven
let's put it down to light
the story of two lovers
would dance both edges of the night

In the station you were standing
not knowing what you want
and the secrets that we're defending
have become our only bond
just be patient while I wait here
journeys out of sync
while you're out there running in the chaos
I need some time to think

Fantasy man you are always
one step ahead of me
well I never heard a warning
I haven't got things right
if the sun came out this morning
and filled my room with light
so go now you are forgiven
let's put it down to light
the story of two lovers
would dance both edges of the night

Paper cup, ain't got no worries
Got no, got no dog in this fight

Paper plane take this note straight to her
If her heart's still in the fight

Maybe time will decide
The restless spirit can't survive
On breadcrumb trails no more

Paper saint will you hear her when she calls
You got no dog in this fight

Paper bird
Take this offering from her hands
This simple trail back to the light

Maybe time will provide
Give you the strength to decide
I hope it's not too late

Maybe time will decide
This restless spirit can't survive
One breadcrumb trails no more

Maybe time will provide
Give you the strength to decide
You know it's not too late

Paper cup ain't got no worries
Got no, got no do in this fight

There's a light
inside us all
It only shines
as bright as we are
And you've fallen down so low
I'm really worried for you
I'm really worried

And even on our worst days
We were never quite like this
We've gone as far as we can go
Without crashing

At the heart in every fool
Is the hope you're stupid too
And there's this lingering,
this lingering feeling
That I'm missing something,
I feel like I'm missing something

And even at your worst babe
You were never as bad as this
You've gone as far as you can go
Without dying

What's the verb to cut it off
To take a knife and hack away at it
You keep saying, "Well that's the last time"
You'll pretend to stand aside no matter what we did
I'm not playing all in all then
Just enough to keep us sliding back to where we were
I'm not waiting
That's the last time
You'll get friends who will tell you that you walked away with it
When you barely scraped through

"I'm tired of fighting," she said
Your words just rattle my head
All joy escapes in the dark and I can't make this make sense
Your words are lost to me now
I cannot take it
I'm out
I'm stuck here kidding myself
You're out there caring somewhere

What's the verb to kick it off
To take the time and walk away from it
I'm not playing
That'll never sit with us well
We're far too pious to get out of it and we're on our way

"I'm tired of fighting," she said
Your words just rattle my head
All joy escapes in the dark and I can't make this make sense
Your words are lost to me now
I cannot take it
I'm out
I'm stuck here killing myself
You're out there drinking somewhere

This time I've lost all my hope
I cannot take it no more
I'm stuck here killing myself
You're out there laughing somewhere

I'll tear my heart out no more
I'll burn this bridge 'til it's gone
I'm stuck here killing myself
You're out there laughing somewhere
All joy is lost to me now
I cannot take it
I'm out
I'm stuck here killing myself and you're out there drinking somewhere
I'm stuck here killing myself

Running away won't change anything
It only puts it off
Stand on the spot
Work out where you are and take it all from there

Running away won't change anything
It only puts it off
Stand on the spot
Work out where you are and take it all from there

Running away won't change anything
It only puts it off

Forgive me lover
For I have sinned
For I have done you wrong
For I have hurt
Beyond repair
When tears occurred
No I didn’t care
Forgive me lover
For I have sinned
For I have loved you wrong
But this estranged organ in my chest
Still beats for you
It will not rest, so
Meet me in our secret place
When the time has come
And rest your head
In my lap
And I’ll lead you out of your own trap
And I’ll show you how much
You have missed through the
Time we weren’t right
So forgive me lover
For I have sinned
For I have let you go
But You’ve been every now and then on my mind yeah
Every now and then on my mind yeah
On my mind

In the time when your word was true
You gave your heart to the ones you knew
And at the dawn of every day
There was a light that you gave to me

You gave yourself to a love that conquers
Give everything to a love that conquers

And then you came and you came real close
You gave the heart what it wanted most
You took your time and you made it clear
Maybe time will erase some things

You ran away with a love that conquers
You ran away with a love that conquers

Too long in the shadows, too long in the dust
Gave yourself to a love that conquers

What you give
Or give out
Is the only thing
That really counts

Will you stay?
Here, stay around
And we'll both start
Working this out

But it's not just this
It's everything
You're so hard to reach
And impossible to really read
When your talking with
Two tongues in your mouth
And I wish you'd quit this muttering
Beneath your breath
It's killing me
You've not said nothing yet

Who's talking now?
Well I guess I'm starting to doubt
Are we lost here?
Are you keeping count?
Are you gonna just let me down?

Well your hearts not in it
It's everywhere
It's plain to see
You're still wondering
What's underneath
You're so curious
It's two strikes and you're out
And I'm tiring of this attitude
How you fall to pieces
Like you do
I can't believe you're still talking
With two tongues in your mouth
After all we've been around

Will you hear me out?
You're the only thing
That really counts

Back broke and dancing
Cause you're here
Beside me
Cause you're here
Cause you're here
Here with me

Back broke and happy
Cause you're near
Cause you're near
Nearer to me

I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
I'm back by big demand
Don't give me false hope

Back broke and smiling
Cause it's clear
Cause it's clear
You still want me

I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
We're back by big demand
Don't give us false hope

Back broke and crying
Cause it's near
Cause it's near
Our pardon

I`m walking away.
I knew that I would.
I want to be missed by somebody good.
Don`t wanna come back.
That I think that I should to somebody good.

I came here alone.
To dig through the dirt.
To fine what was lost.
To sift through the hurt.

I wanna return.
Do you think that I could?
I wanna to belong to somebody good.

I wanna return.
I wanna to belong to somebody good.

You have broken me all the way down
Down upon my knees
And you have broken me all the way now
You'll be the last you'll see

And some fight you gave
When I pushed you away from me
And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you'll see

And what chance had we got
When you missed every shot for me

And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be out of reach
And in the darkness when you find this
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you see

I think it's time, we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy, and talking straight
The way is clear if you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it is too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you'd slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go

We made a plan that was subject to change
So whatever was it works out we both get the blame
In the arms of this low
And you took the wind right out of my sails
By sweating me out on all the little details
In the arms of this low
In the arms of this low

So thread the light
So thread the light

We made a choice and we knew we would pay
For stealing the joy and trying to escape
From the arms of this low
And if by some chance you break from the pack
You know I'll be waiting to welcome you back
Into the arms of this low
In the arms of this low

Thread the light,
Thread the light,
Thread the light,
Thread the light,
Shine the light,
Don't hide the light,
Live the light,
And give the light,
Seek the light,
And speak the light,
Crave the light, and brave the light,
Stare the light,
And share the light,
Show the light,
And know the light,
Raise the light,
And praise the light,
Thread the light,
And spread the light.

Drown out, the voice that breaks the silence
And talks the joy out of everything
You were found out and had to walk
in darkness without the only thing you care about

And we drive away and head for south
We found our way and blocked it out

Cry alone, and die alone
Pray alone, and stay alone

You were burned out
And had to stop before all hell broke
And finally took its toll

And save our souls were playing dead
And mine for gold in a heart of lead
And turn around and save yourself
We found our way and blocked it out

Cry alone, and die alone
Pray alone, and stay alone

Drown out.. drown out..

So, if you want something
And you call, call
Then'll come running
To fight, and I'll be at your door
When there's something worth running for

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it

You see, you're just like everyone
When the shit falls all you want to do is run, away
And hide all by yourself
When you're far from me, there's nothing else

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talking
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to fight it

So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running.

Forgive me lover
For I have sinned
For I have done you wrong
For I have hurt
Beyond repair
When tears occurred
No I didn’t care
Forgive me lover
For I have sinned
For I have loved you wrong
But this estranged organ in my chest
Still beats for you
It will not rest, so
Meet me in our secret place
When the time has come
And rest your head
In my lap
And I’ll lead you out of your own trap
And I’ll show you how much
You have missed through the
Time we weren’t right
So forgive me lover
For I have sinned
For I have let you go
But You’ve been every now and then on my mind yeah
Every now and then on my mind yeah
On my mind

I don't know you 난 당신을 몰라요 But I want you All the more for that 하지만 그래서 더욱 당신을 원해요 Words fall through me 이해못할 말들이 나를 지나고 And always fool me 항상 나를 바보로 만들죠 And I can't react 그리고 난 대꾸할 수가 없어요 And games that never amount to more than 서로를 속이는 의미없는 게임은 they're meant will play themselves out .. 우릴 지치게 할 뿐이에요 Take this sinking boat and point it home 가라앉는 이 배를 붙잡아 줘요 We've still got time 우린 아직 늦지 않았어요 Raise your hopeful voice 희망의 목소릴 높여요 You have a choice you've made it now 당신은 선택을 했고 당신은 이제 결정해야만 해요 Falling slowly, eyes that know me 날 보는 당신의 눈에서 눈물이 흐르고 And I can't go back 난 돌아갈 수 없어요 Moods that take me and erase me 날 사로잡고 날 지워버린 어두운 감정들 And I'm painted black 그리고 난 깊은 절망에 빠져있어요 You have suffered enough 당신은 충분히 괴로워했어요 And warred with yourself 자신과의 싸움에서 말이에요 It's time that you won 이제 당신이 자유로워질 때가 온거에요 Take this sinking boat and point it home 가라앉는 이 배를 붙잡아줘요 We've still got time 우린 아직 늦지 않았어요 Raise your hopeful voice 희망의 목소릴 높여요 You had a choice 당신은 선택을 했고 You've made it now 이젠 결정해야만 해요 Falling slowly sing your melody 천천히 당신의 노래를 불러봐요 I'll sing along 내가 함께 부를테니

(written with Damien Rice)

I can't wait forever is all that you said
Before you stood up
And you won't disappoint me
I can do that myself
But I'm glad that you've come
Now if you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don't understand, you've already gone

And I hope you feel better
Now that it's out
What took you so long
And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it's come
If you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you came to now
Leave, leave,
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave...

Part of me has died
And won't return
And part of me wants to hide
The part that's burned

Once
Once
I knew how to talk to you
Once
Once
But not anymore

Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home

Part of me has vowed
To watch it burn
And the heart of me has tried
But look what it's become

Once
Once
I knew where to look for you
Once
Once
But that was before
Once
Once
I would have laid down and died for you
Once
Once
But not anymore

Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home
Hear the sirens
Call me home

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth
For it's been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely and the distance causes only silence
I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs
If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me
Are you really sure that you believe me
When others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
When you know I really tried
To be a better one to satisfy you for you're everything to me
And I'll do what you ask me
If you let me be free
If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

Ten years ago I fell in love with an Irish girl
She took my heart
But she went and screwed some guy that she knew
And now I'm in Dublin with a broken heart

Oh, broken-hearted Hoover fixer sucker guy
Oh, broken-hearted Hoover fixer sucker, sucker guy

One day I'll go there and win her once again
But until then I'm just a sucker of a guy

You have broken me all the way down
Down upon my knees
And you have broken me all the way now
You'll be the last you'll see

And some fight you gave
When I pushed you away from me
And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you'll see

And what chance had we got
When you missed every shot for me

And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be out of reach
And in the darkness when you find this
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you see

So, if you want something
And you call, call
Then'll come running
To fight, and I'll be at your door
When there's something worth running for

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it

So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running.
