Beth Orton

Curl up inside me
C'mon hide for a while
Look in your eyes, I see
Looking back is a child
That we, we dance a fine line
We didn't take much time
You can't watercolour a fire cracker
And you, you're laying face down
With your heart of soul
Selling it cheap on the commercial road

Where is the love in your heart?
C'mon. put a little love in your heart
Where is the love in your heart?
C'mon. put a little love in your heart

Magpies and maelstroms
Always hard hitting hailstorms
No blame, no forgiveness
We consent and we complete this
And we, we dance at the precipice
When we get close like this
You can't put out a fire with no crocodile
And me, I'm laying face down
So tell me what Neil Young said
You pick a flower then it's dead

Put a little love in your heart
C'mon, put a little love in your heart
I don't care how much religion you've got
You gotta put a little love in your heart

And you, you look at me in disbelief
Like you could teach me God
When all of a sudden
I'm consumed by love
And you are all lighting up
With your heart of gold
And everything we touch just turns to soul

Put a little love in your heart
You know, you put a little love in my heart
I gotta put a little love in your heart
C'mon, put a little love in my heart
C'mon, put a little love in your heart
I wanna feel a little love in my heart
I'm gonna put a little love in your heart
A whole lotta love in your heart
Whole lotta love in your heart
There's a whole lotta love in your heart, heart, heart

Curl up inside me
C'mon hide for a while

I do still sometimes put my hand across
And I feel as yours gets placed on top
We drive along these empty streets
Same old ones they've always been

I can still hear your heartbeat in the dark
We're still setting up the same old sparks
Pull me close and we lay still
I wrap my toes around your heel

And we're talking as I write this song
Unfolding as we go along
And I suppose we really do
I suppose it must be true
There will always be a place aside

For you

I do still sometimes stare into your gaze
The way we'd stay for days and days
'Scuse me but this seat is taken
They've been a while but I'm still waiting

And if I light these matches just to watch 'em burn
And I forget to keep myself warm
And I forgot how to sing my song
Then I suppose I really do
I suppose it must be true
But there will always be a place aside
For you
For you
For you

My love's a star you only saw the traces of
What went before is not no more, it's the embers of
People always catching names too late
And we're all sorry there's no time to make the change

I could hear rebellion rising
I could feel the stars aligning
I could see the wave rising
But I never did seem to find my way back home

My love's a ball I threw to you
Once I was gone, you caught it too
Love ignored erodes in time, changes shape, went and changed your mind
All I really needed was someone to take me home
Enough absinthe can crush your spirit to the bone

And I could feel rebellion rising
I could hear the stars aligning
I could see the wave rising
But I never did seem to find my way back home
No, I never did wanna find my way back home

I know the stars that shine on me
Are brighter than you or I may ever be
I know there's an answer to your question
But I don't know that I could word it right

Say what you mean
Don't tell it like it could be
I'm not sure, should I just say it out loud?
Say what you mean
Don't tell it like it could be
Right at this time, I'm gonna keep that in mind

One love, is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff

Just the comfort of strangers
Always the comfort of strangers
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I know the sun that shines on me
Has better times than you or I may ever be
I know there's an answer to the question
But I'm not sure that I should word it right

Say what you mean
Don't tell it like it could be
Every time you're gonna set me free
Say what you mean
Don't tell it like it could be
Right, this time, let's take it right home to see

One love is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love than messing with the wrong stuff
It's just the comfort of strangers
Oh, it's the comfort of strangers

Why, some of those are like best friends, best friends
Ones that keep you coming round again

Want to keep your dream alive?
Can I keep it with mine?
But I'm no good for you
I suppose when you get a cold bath
You, you still hold me close at night

Never liked you any less
And the world's not such a friendly place, is it?
It can grow very cold, very quickly, and for a very long time
If the sun, with some twist of fate, stops giving out it's shine

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me
Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see
Not all is as it could be
Like it's there to remind me
We've got to wait and see

Can I still be conceived?
In a loveless embrace

Still we learn to be a warm sun
Around a very cold galaxy
It's just like you said it could be
Oh, it's like you said it would be

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me
Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see
That all is as it should be
Like it's there to remind me
We've got to let it be, yeah

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me
Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see
That all is as it could be
And it's there to remind me
We've got to wait and see
We've got to let it be, yeah
Wait and see, wait and see

For those who preach forgiveness
Whilst they're practicing revenge
Man will do to man
But nature's got it all in hand
It ain't free
It ain't fooled you'll see

There are no rights for the many
The ones already damned
The fear born into grace
They're gonna get the helping hand
It ain't free
It ain't fooling me

And there's nothing to hide
And there's nothing to save
And there'll always be something
Your countenance to give it away
Not much more to say
Not much more to say

For those who are obsessed
With his reflection as he is
Nature has a cause
You know you ain't never
Gonna be that blessed
It ain't free
It ain't fooled you'll see
And there's nothing to hide
And there's nothing to save
And they'll always be something
Your countenance to give it away
Not much more to say
Not much more to say...

Feral children in the pouring rain
For every constellation she might navigate again
Each and ever line she might wear in time
Baptized by the rain and euphoria of pain

Could kiss or punch, sober or drunk
Lifted way high or taken down deep
Into blue space where the rules change

Feral children know how to survive
Feral children can fight for their lives
Feral children hear what no one knows
There’s no words for the infinity of ghosts
The infinity of ghosts

Hold on, hold on
Holding back the sea seems unlikely
She’ll tell you
I can forgive you
But I can't forget you
And you won't
You know you won’t forget me

Hold on, hold on
Holding back the fire seems to flame desire
Try parting the water, crossing the sea
She’ll tell you
I can forgive you
But I can't forget you
And you won't
You know you won’t forget me
You know you won’t forget me
You know you won’t forget me

Curl up inside me
C'mon hide for a while
Look in your eyes, I see
Looking back is a child
That we, we dance a fine line
We didn't take much time
You can't watercolour a fire cracker
And you, you're laying face down
With your heart of soul
Selling it cheap on the commercial road

Where is the love in your heart?
C'mon. put a little love in your heart
Where is the love in your heart?
C'mon. put a little love in your heart

Magpies and maelstroms
Always hard hitting hailstorms
No blame, no forgiveness
We consent and we complete this
And we, we dance at the precipice
When we get close like this
You can't put out a fire with no crocodile
And me, I'm laying face down
So tell me what Neil Young said
You pick a flower then it's dead

Put a little love in your heart
C'mon, put a little love in your heart
I don't care how much religion you've got
You gotta put a little love in your heart

And you, you look at me in disbelief
Like you could teach me God
When all of a sudden
I'm consumed by love
And you are all lighting up
With your heart of gold
And everything we touch just turns to soul

Put a little love in your heart
You know, you put a little love in my heart
I gotta put a little love in your heart
C'mon, put a little love in my heart
C'mon, put a little love in your heart
I wanna feel a little love in my heart
I'm gonna put a little love in your heart
A whole lotta love in your heart
Whole lotta love in your heart
There's a whole lotta love in your heart, heart, heart

Curl up inside me
C'mon hide for a while

There’s a bridge cross my stream
Never seems to get broken
Never could, never would
Never clouds up my day
See I wanted to give
Then I just couldn’t take it
I wanted to love
And I turned ‘round and hated it

If I ever knew I tried to tell
Give of my heart but I never sell
Supermarket of the soul
Heartland truckstop, global mall
Taking flights of indifference
‘Cross a wide screen sky
Could feel so alive
You might think that you had died

I’m not skating on ice
See, I’m walking on water
And silence is finest
Don’t give me your word
Yes, silence speaks louder
C’mon give me a word
I don’t want nobody knowing
How the hurt in me works

If they ever knew they might just sell
Give of my heart then never tell
Supermarket of the soul
Heartland truckstop, global mall
And the one thing that is certain
Is the one uncertainty
If we keep doing the same thing
Nothing will work out differently

We’re all bridge builders’ daughters
With incestuous dreams
Confidentially speaking
All is as it seems

Confidentially speaking
All is as it seems

These memories are just pieces of sky
Pieces of something much bigger than I
To anyone else just endless blue
I see time framed an image of you
These memories haunt me like a moon
Holds a sea like the sky holds a sun
The sea holds my tears and carries me
My heart is too heavy for one
When it's over, it's over
I best get busy living, been a long time gone
A dress made of air and webs and you
The wet dreams evaporate as they come true
To anyone else just endless blue
An invisible kite string connects me to you
I know that it's selfish to think you'd come here
There's so many people that must need you near
There's so many people that need to know
That you're still with them even when you go
That you're still with them even when they don't know
And it's over, it's over
I best get busy living, you been a long time gone

How do you know how much you've been missing?
Does it add up to some names on a list?
Do you know we're just pieces of sky?
Pieces of time that keep drifting by

Well love, love, love is a one way train
Comes on gentle as a hurricane
It’s got P.A.I.N. written all the way through
From where I’m set looking over at you

And it takes all my might
And it'll take all my day
And if it wants me to come
Well I know I’m gonna stay
Nothing can save me from my life
But for love my mistakes I would rectify
If I could
And it's all we've got to leave

If you take a drop of water from a bucket
Would not know
Does not show
Love is all that remains
Love’s gonna fill it again

Well love, love, love will make truth from a lie
And I don't want to live how I don't want to die
So give me one kiss to build a dream on
Gonna stay with me through the changing seasons
And yeah, yeah
And it's all we've got to bring

If you take a drop of water from a bucket
Would not know
Does not show
Love is all that remains
Love’s gonna fill it again

Home is where the heartbreak
wraps cold around my bones
forgive me if I promise
to forget what I have known
ignores and never mentions
I just came waltzing in
with stories tied together
with broken bits of string

Time moves so sure
runs rings around he treees
its silence mocking
in the wind against the leaves
for all your loss and gain
the soul defines its suffering
an illusion is hope born from fear
and now you're right back here
safe in my arms my dear

all is as I left it
never more so what it seems
my bed is as I made it
just not what went between
and I still feel alive
in what is no longer there
the shadows slide behind
drawing clouds across the air

time moves so sure
turns rings around the trees
its silence whispers
in the wind against the leaves
for all your loss and gain
the soul defies its suffering
an illusion is hope born from fear
but now I'm right back here
safe in your arms my dear

It's true your love has been a lesson
And it's taught me more than any other blessing
you're the one that can wrestle me
C'mon hold me down now one, two, three
I get too weak to fight from all this laughing

And I am not even yours to run to
And you are not even mine to cry to
And we are not even here to speak of

You go your way, my love, you go your way
You go your way, my love, you go your way

It's true that I have got a head full
Of voices saying the first thing that's in their heart
And I go to throw a ball with my best intention
And it gets caught up and carried away
In completely the opposite direction

And now you're not really mine to run to
Why you're not even mine to cry to
And now you're not even here to speak of

You go your way, my love, you go your way
You go your way, my love, you go your way

And you are not even mine to run to
You were never quite mine to cry to
And we are not really hear to speak of

You go your way, my love
You go your way
You go your way, my love
You go your way
With not one shadow of a doubt
With not one shadow of a doubt
You go your way
You go can your way

You go your way, my love
You go your way
You go your way, my love
You go your way
With not one shadow of a doubt
With not one shadow of a doubt
You go your way
You go your way

I've been reeling home
A broken shopping trolley
Wheels on the wrong
How come wisdom
Came on strong
But it's too late to be done
Words are but dust of stars
When they collide
I get lost in the sparks
Explode into the dark
And move like light on the sea

I think I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time, all in time

My head's hanging so low
I'm kicking it
When I walk down the road
And all your words explode
Employ the search light to see

I think I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time, all in time

It takes me unawares
All the magic that hides
Inside your stares
Always one more peak to climb
It really seems there is no finishing line

I think I'm gonna cry
And I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time
I know I'm gonna cry
But I'm gonna laugh about it
All in time, all in time
All in time, all in time
All in time, all in time

Worms don't dance
They haven't got the balls
No matter how do you do it
It's just you do it, that's all
You got what it takes
To knock at my door
You wanna get all excited
Never been here before

And now I'm your apple-eatin' heathen
The original sin
You ain't got my faith
So best keep your belief
I have waited forever to love someone
I swear I heard you thank your God
That time for having me come along
Chickens don't fly
But they have got the wings
No matter how hard they try
They bump into things
They're all running around
Knock their heads on the ground
They got a wish bone
Where their back bone should have grown

Now I'm your apple-eatin' heathen
Any old rib-stealin' Eve
And you ain't got my faith
So best keep your belief
I have waited forever to love someone
I swear I heard you thank your God
That time for having me come along

Another intimacy
Reduced to cruelty
And I had you believe
That this was meant to be
And I'm low for the magic
But you got away with it
That's all

Want to keep your dream alive?
Can I keep it with mine?
But I'm no good for you
I suppose when you get a cold bath
You, you still hold me close at night

Never liked you any less
And the world's not such a friendly place, is it?
It can grow very cold, very quickly, and for a very long time
If the sun, with some twist of fate, stops giving out it's shine

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me
Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see
Not all is as it could be
Like it's there to remind me
We've got to wait and see

Can I still be conceived?
In a loveless embrace

Still we learn to be a warm sun
Around a very cold galaxy
It's just like you said it could be
Oh, it's like you said it would be

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me
Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see
That all is as it should be
Like it's there to remind me
We've got to let it be, yeah

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me
Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see
That all is as it could be
And it's there to remind me
We've got to wait and see
We've got to let it be, yeah
Wait and see, wait and see

From a soul I found some pride
Only found this after she died
From a woman I acquired such grace
Everybody seemed to want to take her place

The best part to life it seemed
The best part of life was a dream
The best part to breakin' up
Is when I'm wakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it use to seem

Wasn't sure it was never quite clear
What the hell was happening all around here
Never seemed to make much sense
All that fuss for just a lack of common sense

The best part to life it seemed
The best part of life was a dream
The best part to breakin' up
Is when I'm wakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it use to seem
Can not be all that it used to be
You're not as quiet as you used to be

What did you seem?
What did you mean?

Terry Callier :
This whole world may never change
The way it's always been
I know all the ways of war
Cannot change it back again

Beth Orton and Terry Callier :
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...

Beth Orton :
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all the hurt is gone

Beth Orton and Terry Callier :
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...

Beth Orton and Terry Callier :
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
You and me were..black and white

Beth Orton and Terry Callier :
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
This whole world may never change X3

You've seen sad times,
Your eyes have told me so,
Blue and bad times,
You think that I don't know,
But there'll be glad times,
Just you wait and see,
And there'll be a sun rise,
If you lean on me,
Said lean on me babe,
You can lean on me,
I imagine I could comfort you,
I have forgotten,
The things that you've been through,
But there's one thing,
On which we can a agree,
When you're ready darling,
You can lean on me,
And the love I bring,
Will grow into a lasting thing,
Put your heart on wings,
And set you free,
And as you rise,
Up into the clearing skies,
Maybe you will realise,
You can lean on me,
And lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me,
All your heartache,
Hidden deep inside,
So there's no telling,
How many tears you've cried,
But like the river,
To the weeping willow tree,
I can hold your teardrops child,
So lean on me,
And the love I bring,
Will grow into a lasting thing,
Put your heart on wings,
And set you free,
And as you rise,
Up into the clearing skies,
Maybe you will realise,
You can lean on me,
And lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me,
And lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me,
And lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me,
And lean on me,
You can lean on me,
Lean on me,
You can lean on me.

You been trying to find the line
To define the strength in weak hands
Read the first page, then guess the rest
I don't always know what's best
You been trying to swim up the sun's burning reflection
And trying to skim a boulder in the very same direction

Where it goes,
No one knows,
No one follows
Where it goes,
No one knows,
No one follows

I'll be a flame burning in the darkness
And I will light what's in your heart
I'll be a flame in the dark
But I can't light what's not in your heart
I can lie, I can lie, I can lie
I can lie
Lie, I could lie

You can lie
You can lie
You can lie.

Tired, but I ain't sleepin'
Thinking about some sad affair
And why I should be leavin'
'Cause some of these thoughts
Only seem to take me out of here

Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
They're the most easy to make
These habits are so hard to break
And the most easy to make

Thinking about tomorrow
Tired from all the time I spared
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk
Ever seems to get me anywhere

Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
Are the most easy to make
These habits are so hard to break
Are the most easy to make
So easy to make

So long
Night-night friends, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know that I've been fading from you
Nothing could save me from you
So long

Tired, but I ain't dreamin'
Falling into solid earth
On why I must be leavin'
'Cause one of these days
I'm gonna pull out all my hair

Yeah these habits are so hard to break
And the most easy to make
Well, these habits are so hard to make
And the most easy to break
So easy

So long
Night-night friends, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waitin' for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know that I have faded from you
And nothing could save me from you
So long

We
Lay on our backs in the grass
Silently watching the rain clouds
Move by far too fast
You said it was a night where
Anything could happen
But nothing was gonna last

We're doing fine now
Yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue
And you know
We're never defeated
Or broken inside
All that is fine
All that is fine

We
We burn our boats each new year
Silently watching the flames
And an old life disappear
We're burning a new sunrise into
Yesterday's skies
An ashen fingerprint
Melts into the sea

We're doing fine now
Yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue
And you know
We're never defeated
Or broken inside
All that is fine
Yeah, all that is fine

We're doing fine now
Of course we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue

Paint what you know, not what you see
Hope blinds reason, thankfully
Know how it is when something fits
There's just a question of being it

I'd do anything to see you smile again
And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories

Nothing is done without effect
There's nothing done that won't reflect
Pull one brick from an endless wall
Would it drown us all?

'Cause I'd do anything to see you smile again
And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
'Cause I wanna live where the fear is all gone
I wanna protect, and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers and memories

You just need love like you say you do
And there may never be a time when it won't get through
Yeah, you know how it is when something fits
Now there's just a question of being it

And I'd do anything to see you smile again
But I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
'Cause I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect, and I know what it's from
Yeah I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories

Nothing is done without effect
There's nothing done that won't reflect
If I pull one brick from an endless wall
Would it drown us all?

There's nothing very funny
About a man making money
Off a blonde haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home
Who he loves to leave alone
For his blonde haired blue eyed girl

Well, Carmell
Where you gonna run to
When the sky comes crashing in on you?
Slow down
Who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove?

And I can't
Control myself
And I won't
Be no one else
No I can't
Control myself
And I wouldn't want to
Be anywhere else
It's true
What they say about you
Is true
What they say about you
Is true
You know it too

There's nothing very funny
About a man spending money
On a blonde haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home
Who he loves to leave alone
For his blonde haired blue eyed girl

Carmell,
Where you gonna run to
If the sky comes crashing in on you?
Slow down
Who're you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove?

And I can't
Control myself
And I won't
Be no one else
And I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to
Be anywhere else
It's true
What they say about you
Is true
What they say about you
Is true
You know it too

No I can't
Control myself
And I won't
Be anyone else
No I can't
Control myself
And I wouldn't want to
Be anyone else
It's true
What they say about you
Is true
What they say about you
Is true
You know it too
You know it too
You know it too

Faith has a good side
Still, everyone she ever loved,
They all turned bad
Constance has his own way of breathing
You know you couldn't will him to survive
Couldn't will him if you if you tried

There's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And I know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too

I've seen your good side
But I still don't know just what it is that you might want
See, you got your own way of moving
And you know you could save it

Save my soul
Save some for you
Hold my soul
I feel like I'm falling
I feel like I'm falling

And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And I know now why
It's not coming 'round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do

So much time
Got lost in my mind
But I know now what I must rely on
It's a sound, forgetting,
And the worst thing

I've been out walking,
Don't do too much talking
Don't take too much time
Wouldn't take all your time
'Cause it's as precious as mine

Save my soul
Save some for you
Save your soul
I feel like I'm falling
I feel like I'm falling

And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And you know now why
It's not coming 'round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
And you're as precious as mine
And you're as precious as mine

We
Lay on our backs in the grass
Silently watching the rain clouds
Move by far too fast
You said it was a night where
Anything could happen
But nothing was gonna last

We're doing fine now
Yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue
And you know
We're never defeated
Or broken inside
All that is fine
All that is fine

We
We burn our boats each new year
Silently watching the flames
And an old life disappear
We're burning a new sunrise into
Yesterday's skies
An ashen fingerprint
Melts into the sea

We're doing fine now
Yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue
And you know
We're never defeated
Or broken inside
All that is fine
Yeah, all that is fine

We're doing fine now
Of course we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue
And now you know
We're never defeated
Or broken inside
All that is fine
All that is fine

Anything to feel
Anything inside
Anything

My house was built for loving not a theatre of war
I take the poison for the cure
But he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
Yeah he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
And I'm praying for the strength not to carry on

I've watched and learnt to lead a decent life
But meanwhile I'm dying inside
Cos he's my man and I keep doing him wrong
Yeah he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
But I'm praying for the strength not to carry on

I was built for loving not playing at war
And I leave justice in the good hands of the law
But he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
Yeah he's my man and I've done him wrong
But I'm praying for the strength not to carry on

Watching the sun coming up over Mount Washington
Forever testing your intention
Watching the sun going down over some distant town
And why you sing you never could say

Hate causes any question
To do it to before it's done unto you
Hate causes any question
Your love out of frame
And nobody can keep you from the one you know you are
Nobody to steer the way you sway, the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time that you don't walk through

Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you

Watching the sun coming up over St. Jude Street
Forever testing your invention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And once awake you never sleep on

Hate causes every question
To do unto as you'd have done by you
It ain't 'cause you ever question
Your love out of view
And nobody can keep you from the ones you know you love
Nobody to steer the way you sway, the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time that you don't walk through

Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you

You are, you are
Belonging to the unknown
You are, you are
Belonging into the unknown
May there never be a time that I don't love you
May there never be a time that you don't pull through

Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you
Be a star
Be an altar
And I will hang it on you

Now you're sitting on a Paris train
Laughin' at your own jokes again
Sun splits the trees into beautiful broken light
Never cry more tears than you could hold in your hands
When all the world's airbrushed
It's a sacred bond of trust

Sometimes
Sometimes
I see right through the scenery
The first place that's on my mind
The last place I find each time

Sometimes
I swim beyond the scenery
The last place that's on my mind
The first place I find each time

Now I'm sitting on a Paris train
Molten ash falls like rain
Fire burns the trees
It's a beautiful fatality
I love the way you stand your ground
Sea moves as mercury
To break its perfect skin
To dare to die from within

Sometimes
Sometimes
I see much more than's good for me
The first thing that's on my mind
The last place I look each time

Sometimes
I slip inside imagery
And the last thing that's on my mind's
The first thing I'll do each time
Each time
Each time

Stars racing to burn out
Just stars racing to burn out
A storm beginning to break
Trees standing black against the sky
This was inevitable
This was inevitable

Sometimes
Sometimes
We can see beyond our history
The last place you hope to find
The one that's been there all the time

Sometimes
Sometimes
We can swim beyond the scenery
The first place that's on your mind
The first place you'd find each time
Each time
Each time
Each time
Each time

Stars racing to burn out
The storm beginning to break
This was inevitable
This was inevitable
Inevitable

If we should meet again
on some darkened street
pack in it all
and heed to the call
beat a drum to decide on
a sketch or design
can you see to the light
of bare winter night

And wipe out the sun from your eyes
that vicious sky
wipe out the sun from your eyes
cos some sleep to lie.

See the way you are
feel the way you move

So sweet, so deep,
the sum of it all
So deep so sweet
I see you again.

Once you feel something real
let me know, let it show
I could be your honey
and let it go, there you go.
And if you should need me
through someone else's eyes
and if into me you see more than disguise.
I come down to your knees
and if ears could speak
I like to think what they'd say to inspire
Your sweetest desire
and since I first met you
I found the love I lost
It's just like you
looks just like you

You move,
so sweet so deep
the sum of it all
so deep so sweet
I see you again

If we should meet again
in some darkened room
I hope to my soul
it could be soon
beat a path to my side
a sketch for design
can you see through the light
to bear winter night
and wipe out the sun from your eyes
that vicious sky
wipe out the sun from your eyes
some sleep to lie

See the way you are
feel the way you move
so deep, so cool
you burn through it all
it's the shape of your hand
a tone I understand
and since I first met you
I found the love I lost
looks just like you
looks just like you
you move.

See you again, see you again...

Tired, but I ain't sleepin'
Thinking about some sad affair
And why I should be leavin'
'Cause some of these thoughts
Only seem to take me out of here

Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
They're the most easy to make
These habits are so hard to break
And the most easy to make

Thinking about tomorrow
Tired from all the time I spared
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk
Ever seems to get me anywhere

Yeah, these habits are so hard to break
Are the most easy to make
These habits are so hard to break
Are the most easy to make
So easy to make

So long
Night-night friends, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know that I've been fading from you
Nothing could save me from you
So long

Tired, but I ain't dreamin'
Falling into solid earth
On why I must be leavin'
'Cause one of these days
I'm gonna pull out all my hair

Yeah these habits are so hard to break
And the most easy to make
Well, these habits are so hard to make
And the most easy to break
So easy

So long
Night-night friends, so long
So long
Will it ever happen again?
You know that I've been waitin' for you
I've been created for you
So long
You know that I have faded from you
And nothing could save me from you
So long

Do you even know what goes on in a heart anymore?
Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove
You were still breathing
But you wouldn't move

Okay
Okay
What a thing to choose
This one's gonna bruise

You'll learn one day, won't you?
What you want's bad for the souls
Lost out in the rain
Afraid of the dark
Still in pain
Still in pain

Did you even notice how the wind
Didn't change that much?
Fluctuations on these sheets
That you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say
That you could trust me, but I was lying anyway

Okay
Okay
What a thing to lose
Left out in the rain
Misused

You'll learn one day, won't you?
You'll learn some day, won't you?

What you had
Was good for a while
Then it changed
Got too intense
And that is strange

And I feel bad for you
I feel bad for you
And I don't know why
I don't know why
'Cause I'm as dead as you

Right now
It's feels like forever, can't wait
Right now
It's looks like tomorrow, too late
To meet those expectations
Ones that have never unknown

Right now
It's high not to fall out of place
You make me wrong
Have I fallen from grace
What you do for yourself
You expect to someone else

I heard that love is a verb

Right now
It seems quite cold hearted
But how did my grieving
Before we parted
The ground where we lay
And hope to my heart you could stay

Right now
It's high not to fall out of place
If I'm wrong
Have i fallen from grace
What I do to myself
I expect to someone else

I heard that love is a verb

Right now
It feels like tomorrow, can't wait
Right now
It looks like forever, too late
To meet our expectations
Ones that we never unknown

blue and you lean on me
you know that your crushing me
you're soaking and i cannot breathe
you're seeding the clouds
you're building a web cross the night
an unusual night meant for me

collecting dead rainbows from puddles and mires
taking them home to warm by the fire
this flower's in bloom
it'll never expire
it's just coming round again

i'm tearing my heart from the seams
i keep tearing my heart on the seams

but i'll keep pushing ya cause i know just where you're going
yeah i'll be pushing ya till it's to far to get back home
won't put my soul on strike
cuz at the speed of light
i can do what i like

blue and you lean on me
you know that your crushing me
you're soaking but still i can breathe
you're seeding the clouds
you're building a web cross the night
saved by unusual daydreaming ways

i'm tearing my...

yeah, i'll keep loving like it's all i've ever known
yeah, i'll be givin ya till it's too far to get back home
i'll put my heart on strike
cuz at the speed of light i can be out of sight

yeah, i'll be lovin ya like it's all i've ever known
yeah i'll be lovin ya till it's to far to get back home
won't put my soul on strike
cuz at the speed of light i can do what i like

Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?

Took a raft I found across some blood red river
Never did find my home in time for my dinner
Why must people always want what they never had?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away

Lost a friend I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forget her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
Where I'm told we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream, only a dream away
Away

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress,
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath;
Stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

If this is where memories are made,
I'm gonna like what I see,
And everything that I ever took for granted,
I'm gonna let it be.

I step through every shade,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be,
When it's really all,
Make it really all,
Compared to what.

It's like living in the middle of the ocean,
With no future, no past,
And everything that's good about now,
Well, might just glide right past.

I'm stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is fine just as it is.

And everything is sacred here,
And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be,
When it's really all compared to what.
