Vertical Horizon

I've gotta be honest I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's okay
And there's somewhere beyond this,
I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again, No no, never again
'Cause you're a god And I am not
And I just thought That you would know
You're a god And I am not
And I just thought I'd let you go

But I've been unable To put you down
I'm still learning things
I ought to know by now
It's under the table,
so I need something more to show,
somehow
So, never again, no No, never again
'Cause you're a god And I am not
And I just thought That you would know
You're a god And I am not
And I just thought I'd let you go

I've got to be honest I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's okay
There's somewhere beyond this,
I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again, no No, never again
'Cause you're a god And I am not
And I just thought That you would know
You're a god And I am not
And I just thought I'd let you go
You're a god (Oh, and I am not)
I just thought that you would know
(Oh, I thought that you would know)
You're a god (Oh, and I am not)
I just thought I'd let you go

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising
at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and
you don't know why
But under skinned knees and
the skid marks
Past the places
where you used to learn
You how and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to
push you away
There's always another
wound to discover
There's always something more
you wish he'd say
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
But you'll just tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places
where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels
who won't return
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and
I don't know why
don't know why
Why
don't know

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had

The best I ever had
The best I ever

Here in the light
It burns you up inside
Here in the shell of a sun
We echo on

Too much listening
Not enough living

[Chorus]
And you say
What did I say
What did you say
We just
Go away
Go away
Go away

It helps you out
Knowing I'm left out
Locked in a box with a light
That won't shine

Turn it on and wait for
Someone to come

And you say
What did I say
What did you say
We just
Go away
Go away
Go away

I'm here now
Waiting
Holding on to reasons
Wasted
I faced it
Watching you deny me

Here in the light
It burns you out sometimes
Here in the shell of a sun
We echo on

Left alone forever
All alone together

And you say
What did I say
What did you say
We just
Go away
Go away
Go away

I don`t think you notice
When you see my face
I guess you`re waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But you`re coming back again
You don`t mean to waste my time
But you`re coming back so
Don`t tell me
How to be
`Cause I like some suffering
Don`t ask me
What I need
I`m just fine
Here finding me
Me
I`ve already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who I`m talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know it`s touching
But I`ve been out of touch
And it`s all that I can do
I`m a sight for my sore eyes
But it`s all I am so
Don`t tell me
How to be
`Cause I like some suffering
Don`t ask me
What I need
I`m just fine
Here finding me
Me

I don`t think you notice
When I can`t reach out
I guess you`re waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
It`s all been said before
I`m hearing something
but I wish you`d just say more
But you`re going off again
When I try to just hold on
But you`re going off so
Don`t tell me
How to be
`Cause I like some suffering
Don`t ask me
What I need
I`m just fine
Here finding me
Me
Finding me
Me

It's taken much too long to get it right
Would it be so wrong
To maybe find someone A miracle
And all you really need
Is everything you could never be
And so you'd give it all For a miracle
Is there a trace Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle And so you wait
And lie awake For a lonely miracle

You never really know What it is
Not until it goes And if it comes again
It's a miracle But what you miss is love
In everything below and up above
And could she bring it all A miracle
Is there a trace Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle And so you wait
And lie awake For a lonely miracle
All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
And all you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle, a miracle
It's taken so long to get it right
Could it be so wrong
To maybe find someone a miracle
Is there a trace Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle And so you wait
And lie awake For a lonely miracle
Is there a trace Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle And so you wait
And lie awake For a lonely miracle

Oh you make me lay down
Oh you make me forget I am here
Oh you're making me safe now
Oh you make the faces disappear
I'm all right by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it
Send it up
Send it up now
Send it up
Send it up now
Send it up
Oh I feel so close now
Oh you're taking me back from where I've been
Oh I'm not alone now
Oh you rest me up and rush me in
I'm all right by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it
Send it up
Send it up now
Send it up
Send it up today
Send it up
Send it up now
Send it up

I'm all right by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it
Send it up Send it up now
Send it up Send it up today
Send it up Send it up now
Send it up Send it up today
Send it up Send it up now
Send it up Send it up now
Send it up Send it up now
Send it up

I need to know if you were real
'Cause I've been known to get it wrong
When the memory comes
I'll say I'm always in the dark You got me now
I want to give you back I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here I want to give you
I want to give you I want to give you back
I can't remember how it went
You looked like everything I wanted
And as you came along
Slowly everything began to change I got you now
I want to give you back I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here I want to give you
I want to give you I want to give you back

That's enough Just talking about it
I don't mind I don't mind no I Laugh enough
Just dreaming about it

I need to know if you were real
I'd hate to think that I'd been fooled again
And as the vision fades
I'll say I was blinded by your eyes I felt them burn

I want to give you back I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here
I want to give you I want to give you
I want to give you back Somewhere out of here

get out of here

So you say I'm too quiet
Holding things Up in my head
I say so much But you don't buy it
I don't want to wake up Alone in my head
Oh say that you'll never go now Don't go Don't go
I need a lot of you I want a lot of you
I need a lot of you All of you
I tend to think I'm getting nowhere
I drag it out Whenever I can
Someday I'll get back there
And find the world You dropped from your hand
Oh but some things you'll never show now I know I know
I need a lot of you I want a lot of you
I need a lot of you All of you
Watch you coming up Out on top now
Watch you coming up
I need a lot of you I want a lot of you
I need a lot of you All of you
I need a lot of you I want a lot of you
I need a lot of you All of you All of you

For so long my life's been sewn up
fore you leave me behind
And it leaves me there without a place
to call my own
I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down Again
So let me introduce you to the end

And I feel the cold wind blowing
beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then
I always lose It's half the distance
fore you leave me behind
It's such a waste of time
Cause my shackles
So you won't be
And my rapture
So you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don't need you to keep my faith alive
And I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down Again
Let me introduce you to the end
Cause my shackles So you won't be
And my rapture So you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me

So though you know you care
Cause my shackles So you won't be
And my rapture So you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
Yeah yeah And my laughter
You won't hear The faster I disappear
And time will burn your eyes

Take a listen through the window
Take a lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know
Time enough to get a good one
Though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
Do you know
Cause I don't know how
And I don't know where
We are we are
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are we are

Seven days and not a return
Seven lives and not a thing learned
Take a lover on the highway
Do you know
Cause I am sleeping on a time bomb
And I am waiting for the light to come
You and I could get away now
Do you know
Cause I don't know how
And I don't know where
We are we are
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are we are
I get up sometimes
Like somebody else
Am I just wasting time
For somebody else
Take a listen through the window
Another lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know?
Cause I don't know how
And I don't know where
We are we are
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are We are
Cause I don't know how
And I don't know where
We are
And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are
