I'm wide awake and so alive Ringing like a bell tell me this is paradise And not some place I fell 'Cause I keep on falling down
I want to feel the car crash I want to feel the capsize I want to feel the bomb drop, the earth stop, till I'm satisfied I want to feel the car crash cause I'm dying on the inside I want to let go and know that I'll be alright Alright
Push me till I have to fly I've shed my skin, my scars And take me deep out past the lights Where nothing dims these stars Nothing dims these stars
I want to feel the car crash I want to feel the capsize I want to feel the bomb drop, the earth stop, till I'm satisfied I want to feel the car crash cause I'm dying on the inside I want to let go and know that I'll be alright Alright
In the party love, Some band's playing hallelujah Hallelujah In the corner love All night girls drink wine and try to sing along I made a mess of things The stops and in betweens They weigh me down You got someone new singing you your songs now
Sooner surrender Then watch the last wall collapse And sooner surrender And our love will count for everything
In my sweetest dreams It's just you and me And we break wide I wake reminded love How I just gave up And how you moved on, how you moved on
I'm waiting for something I've waited for now For the rolling canyons of love And i'm tongue tied And you're coming alive, coming alive
Sooner surrender Then watch the last wall collapse And sooner surrender And our love will count for everything
I'm sorry that you've gone So sorry that you've gone I'm sorry that you've gone Love I'm sorry that you've gone So sorry that you've gone away You're a little bit right More than a little bit right With my arms around you
Sooner surrender Then watch the last wall collapse And sooner surrender And our love will count for everything
Sooner surrender Than watch the last wall collapse I know Sooner surrender and our love will count for everything Our love will count for everything And I miss when you were everything
Verse 1 Maybe it's because I'm Crazy Maybe it's because I just can't honestly tell you what I want It's never enough, to stay still and hold you To break loose and run the taste of you wild on my tongue
Am I no good to you now (Am I no good to you) Am I no good to you now (Am I no good to you)
I Spent my days with doctors And my nights with crooks And all of them would sell me for a song So I'm here, safe dear Fixin' in your arm
Am I no good to you now (Am I no good to you) Am I no good to you now (So much I can give)
Were' fallin apart
Woah, wooah And we're spilling over Woah, wooah I'm fallin apart Woah, wooah And tear me out Don't start me over Forever changed I shoulda told ya Woah, wooah I'm falling apart
And all i say doesn't matter anyway Yeah all i say doesn't matter anyway I've given up, so call my bluff, Cuz I just need to be reminded who I am
I've Fallin apart Woah, wooah Yeah we're spillin over Woah, wooah I'm fallin apart I've given up and startin over I wanna be the one who'll hold you
So, we let it go to start again Knowing now how all our best intensions Never lit the world on fire Lights, illuminate the exit signs And over the wings the skies an open endless sea Crowding up surrounding me
And all, Detroit waves Goodnight Spread out Beneath Me now If I could, if I could change Believe me I would, I would for you (my love)
And when, you're warm enough to share your sheets Cold enough to make it seem that I was only there long enough to disappear You know I'll still, say your name to fall asleep Over and over a cynic saying rosary A liar living make believe
And all, of Detroit waves Goodnight Spread out Beneath Me now If I could, if I could change Believe me I would, yes I would And Detroit waves
And Detroit waves, goodnight Spread out Beneath me now If I could If I could change Believe me I would Yes I would And Detroit Waves Detroit Waves

She don't lie in bed at night Staring at the ceiling She don't wait to begin She bets on long shots She wants what they've got She skates where the ice thins
On and on, we keep going Crowded like subway cars On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts Our hearts
She was her mother's secret She was daddy's girl She brought weekend boys home in her curls She said, "My love is a fever. Come on, touch my skin. They all think I'm easy, I'm easy, cause I let them win."
On and on, we keep going Crowded like subway cars On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts On and on, we keep going Crowded like subway cars On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts To the beat of our noisy hearts
She said, "Pick up the phone Cause I need to get more alone And your voice drives me crazy."
On and on, we keep going Crowded like subway cars On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts On and on, we keep going Crowded like subway cars On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts, hearts, hearts On and on, we keep going Crowded like subway cars On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
somewhere in between the beginning and the end september took the tourists and settled in for good we could hear the trains again brooklyn girls in scarves summer left and no one said a word and we'd open your window and stay in your bed all day 'til the streetlights came on
what happened to bulletproof weeks in your arms what happened to feeling cheap radio songs what happened to thinking he world was flat what happened to that
so up on 59th st. right before the rains
lovers catching taxis going downtown i'm talking to what's left of you i'm watching what i say
counting all the freckles on your perfect face you open your window, i sit on your bed just waiting for right words to come
so, what happened to bulletproof weeks in your arms what happened to feeling cheap radio songs what happened to thinking he world was flat what happened to that
So we lie here in the dark All the wrong things on fire In sickness and in health To be with you, just to be with you
And in your wedding dress, to have and to hold Even at my best, I want to let go
And you hold me in your arms When all that I can see Is my future in your hands And all that I can feel Is how long ever after is When it's all that I can do To be with you, just to be with you
In your wedding dress, to have and to hold And even at my best, I want to let go
Thought I lost you Thought I lost you, I gave you away Thought I lost you Been jealous of the moon for how it moves the waves
In your wedding dress, to have and to hold Even at my best, I want to let go
And I want to be somebody else now And I want to thicken my skin And I want to wish it all, just wish it all away again, again, again
And I want to be somebody else And I want to be holding you in And I want to be missing you, love, missing you, love With all that I have left to give, to give, to give
love, I'm aching to believe give me something real enough give me somewhere to fall from
'cause in the dark I can't find my feet built my world on promises colorless and cold
I'm short of breath, I'm sure gone, let it wash away the best I had gone, and when I disappear don't expect me back, don't expect me back
lost, sweetest things get lost in the static far away painted pictures of you I fold don't want to be holy then don't want to be sold again the way I was with you
I'm short of breath, I'm sure gone let it wash away the best I had
gone and when I disappear don't expect me back, don't expect me back
I'm short of breath, I'm sure gone, let it wash away the best I had gone, and when I disappear don't expect me back don't expect me back
at its worse the heart is sober at its worse the heart is cold, cold, cold
I'm short of breath, I'm sure gone, let it wash away all the best I had gone, and when I disappear don't expect me, don't expect me back
gone, let it wash away the best I had gone, and when I disappear don't expect me back don't expect me back don't expect me back
let's all pack up and move this year we'll slip the liars and disappear we'll leave memories for auctioneers and those just standing still
they'll miss the taste of wanted you call out your name, like i still do but they haven't said a word that's true and they only hold you down
in this heartbreak world of just imagine with its tired talk of better days
in this heartbreak world, where nothing matters come on, let's make this dream that's barely half awake come true
let's move out of los angeles and just drive until this summer gives and forget the lives we used to live cause we're gone
in this heartbreak world of just imagine with its tired talk of better days in this heartbreak world, where nothing matters come on, let's make this dream that's barely half awake come true
You sounded so good on the phone All moved up and all moved on Me and gravity, we never could agree But I can almost see the sky When I need to, I close me eyes You're the only thing that's worth holding on to
Angel you sing about beautiful things And all I want to do is believe But I traded my dreams for this mess of memories And they just stopped working for me
Now I'm not a monster I believe like a liar would believe Helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging seas And all my heroes pull their heads Like a fighter would, I guess No one ever really likes getting older
Angel you sing about beautiful things And all I want to do is believe But I traded my dreams for this mess of memories And they just stopped working for me
5am, undressed In your static, your mess I don't need any new voices I'm thick enough With superstitions and choices
Way home A little bit of something Maybe just a way home
Sing me sweet Sing me low Say you'll never let me go Cause I've gone long enough Waiting for wonderful Sing me sweet Sing me low Say you'll never let me go So won't you stay And never fail Never let me go
If I could stay like this In the give of your lips In the dim halflight dawn Pinned below your undertow When everything Ment everything again
Way home A little bit of something Maybe just a way home
Sing me sweet Sing me low Say you'll never let me go Cause I've gone long enough Waiting for wonderful Sing me sweet Sing me low Say you'll never let me go So won't you stay And never fail Never let me go
I'm weak when you miss me When you roll me on your tongue.. When you whisper me your best moves I almost believe you But you don't know me at all
I spent days stupid nailed to your floor And I spent nights pushed against you Just trying to keep warm But you don't know me at all
Show me where the sun comes through the sky I'll show you where the rain gets in And I'll show you hurricanes And the way that summer fades Underneath the weight of it all
I'm covered by lovers, Who recite lines Convinced that their bodies Are gonna save mine, oh But you don't know me at all
Show me where the sun comes through the sky I'll show you where the rain gets in And I'll show you hurricanes And the way that summer fades Underneath the weight of it all The weight of it all
Show me, show me where the sun comes through the sky I'll show you where the rain gets in And I'll show you hurricanes And the way that summer fades You can lift me up To put me down again Underneath the weight of it all The weight of it all
Took your words like you said I should And look what good they've done me I played support system, you played victim Adn look at what good it's done And you trip me up leave me strangled With you awkward untouchable lips
It's a cruel world, I've found It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
You're so glorious, sp waste of time You're the safetly in lying You are radiator heat, you're the winter blanket's sleep
You're the excuse that I use when I want to stop trying And start waiting for the sky to fall
It's a cruel world, I've found It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy It's a cruel world, I've found It's a cruel world, and I'm a lucky boy
You're not gold to me I was wrong You're not gold and there'll be centuries left When you're gone
I tried to come down from you I tried with your voice in my head Knocking me back Every inch I moved I'm a sucker for a good lie The way you say you understand And how you always talk of catching me Buit never open up your hands
Tell me does the world revolve the same? Tell me do the people all take care of you Did you doubt the curve of the earth? And every word...every word. I bet you would
I know you're here to catch your breath But I'm not listening for the right words anymore Ill take what's left
You're vicious like the blue sky Right before the rain comes pouring through Tell me does he look like me at all? Cause they're all an awful lot like you...
Tell me does the world revolve the same? Tell me do the people all take care of you Did you doubt the curve of the earth? And every word...every word Tell me does the world look all insane And do the people all just scare you And did you doubt the curuve of the earth And ever word...every word. I bet you would.
They tied off your arms With all their pretty charms And the same bad lines Always get you Always get you
And you hate the way they wash you down Summer hums heavy now So you bolded all your best words So that they'd have something to wrap their mouths around
Show me how pretty the world is 'cause I envy the way that you move Show me how pretty the world is 'cause I want something just a little bit louder
All spun awake I'm twisted in the heat God, you're always burning up so bright When there's someone there by your side
Well just take me home 'cause I'm a mess enough clean And I'll lie until i believe
Show me how pretty the world is 'cause I envy the way that you move Show me how pretty the world is 'cause I want something just a little bit louder
Show me how pretty the world is 'cause you're brilliant when you try Show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
(show me how pretty the world is)
(show me how pretty the world is)
i never thought that i could be who i am i never thought that i could see where i was i never thought that all this was just wasn't me i always thought what all this was could never be
i never thought that i could be who i am i never thought that i could see where i was i never thought that all this was just wasn't me i always thought i'd wait here for you
Show me how pretty the world is 'cause i envy the way that you move Show me how pretty the world is 'cause i want something just a little bit louder
Show me how pretty the world is 'cause you're brilliant when you try Show me how pretty the whole world is
