She lives in a fairy tale somewhere too far for us to find Forgotten the taste and smell of a world that She's left behind It's all about the exposure The lens I told Her the angles were all wrong Now She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds
Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle
So one day he found Her crying coiled up on the dirty ground Her prince finally came to save her and the rest you can figure out But it was a trick and the clock struck 12 Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds
Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle
You built up a world of magic Because your real life is tragic
If it's not real you can't hold it in your hands You can't feel it with your heart And I won't believe it But if it's true you can see it with your eyes Even in the dark And that's where I want to be
Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle
I scraped my knees while I was praying And found a demon in my safest haven seems like It's getting harder to believe in anything And just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts I wanna know what it'd be like To find perfection in my pride To see nothing in the light I'll turn it off In all my spite In all my spite I'll turn it off And the worst part is Before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize some better off when I hit the bottom
The tragedy it seems unending I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending We're taking shortcuts and false solutions Just to come out the hero Well I can see behind the curtain The wheels are cranking turning so on the way we're working Towards a goal that's non existent It's not existent but we just keep believing And the worst part is Before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize some better off when I hit the bottom
I wanna know what it'd be like To find perfection in my pride To see nothing in the light I'll turn it off In all my spite In all my spite I'll turn it off Just turn it off Again Again And the worst part is Before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize some better off when I hit the bottom And the worst part is Before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize some better off when I hit the bottom
when I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind he broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it and my momma swore that she would never let herself forget and that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
Darlin... you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception
maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts and we've got to find other ways to make it alone keep a straight face and I've always lived like this, keeping it comfortable, distance and up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk
well you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't let go of what's in front of me here I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
oh oh oh
you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception
you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception you are the only exception
and I'm on my way to believing oh and I'm on my way to believing
We still live in the same town well don't we But I don't see you around anymore I go to all the same places Not even a trace of you Your days are numbered at 24
And I'm getting bored waiting around for you We're not getting any younger and I won't look back cause there's no use It's time to move forward
I feel no sympathy You live inside a cave You barely get by the rest of us are trying No need to apologize I've got no time for feeling sorry
I try not to think of what might happen when your reality it finally cuts through Well as for me I got out and I'm on the road and the worst part is that this could be you
You know it too Can't run from your shame You're not getting any younger And time keeps passing by but you wave it away It's time to roll over
I feel no sympathy You live inside a cave You barely get by the rest of us are trying There's no need to apologize I've got no time for feeling sorry
All the best lies They are told with fingers tied So cross them tight Won't you promise me tonight If it's the last thing you do you'll get out
I feel no sympathy You live inside a cave You barely get by the rest of us are trying There's no need to apologize I've got no time for feeling sorry
Things are looking up, oh finally! I thought I`d never see the day when you smile at me. We always pull through Oh when we try, I`m always wrong but you`re never right. Oh you`re never right!
Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it`s asleep? I`d never trade it in, cuz I`ve always wanted this! It`s not a dream anymore! Ohhh... It`s not a dream anymore! It`s worth fighting for.
Could have given up so easily I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me Taken for granted, almost everything that I would have died for Just yesterday, Just yeterday
Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it`s asleep? I`d never trade it in, cuz I`ve always wanted this! It`s not a dream anymore! Ohhh... It`s not a dream anymore! It`s worth fighting for.
God knows the world doesn`t need another band, (whoo-oa, whooo-oa! ) But what a waste it would`ve been! (whoo-oa, whooo-oa! ) I can`t believe we almost hung it up(whoo-oa, whooo-oa! ) We`re just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa! )
Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it`s asleep? I`d never trade it in, cuz I`ve always wanted this! It`s not a dream anymore! Ohhh... It`s not a dream anymore! It`s worth fighting for.
Give me attention I need it now Too much distance To measure it out Out loud Tracing patterns across a personal map And making pictures where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh we already won No one is as lucky as us
Call me over Tell me how you got so far Never making a single sound I'm not used to it but I can learn Nothing to it I've never been happier
No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh we already won No one is as lucky as us
Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough you would sing it back to me
No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh we already won No one is as lucky as us
I am going away for a while But I'll be back don't try and follow me 'Cause I'll return as soon as possible See I'm trying to find my place And it might not be here where I feel safe We all learn to make mistakes
And run from them, from them With no direction We'll run from them, from them With no conviction
Cause I'm just one of those ghosts Traveling endlessly Don't need no roads In fact they follow me And we just go in circles
Now I'm told that this is life And pain is just a simple compromise So we can get what we want out of it Would someone care to classify Our broken hearts and twisted minds So I can find someone to rely on
And run to them, to them Full speed ahead Oh you are not useless We are just
Misguided ghosts Traveling endlessly The ones we trusted the most Pushed us far away
And there's no one road We should not be the same But I'm just a ghost And still they echo me
How can I decide what's right? When you're clouding up my mind Can't win your losing fight all the time Not gonna ever own what's mine When you're always taking sides You wont take away my pride No not this time Not this time
How did we get here? I use to know you so well How did we get here? Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes And its hanging on your tongue Just boiling in my blood, But you think that I can't see What kind of man that you are If you're a man at all Well, I will figure this one out on my own (I'm screaming "I love you so..." But my thoughts you can't decode)
How did we get here? I use to know you so well How did we get here? Well, I think I know
Do you see what we've done? We're gonna make such fools of ourselves Do you see what we've done? We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
How did we get here? I use to know you so well How did we get here? Well, I use to know you so well
I think I know I think I know There is something that I see in you It might kill me I want it to be true
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And cursed at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to reassemble it And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day I promised I'd never sing of love If it does not exist But darlin, You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception Maybe I know, somewhere Deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other ways To make it alone Or keep a straight face And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable, distance And up until now I had sworn to myself that I was content With loneliness Cos none of it was ever worth the risk, but You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception I've got a tight grip on reality But I cant Let go of what's in front of me here I know your leaving In the morning, when you wake up Leave me with some proof its not a dream Ohh--- You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception And im on my way to believing it Oh, And Im on my way to believing it
You were my conscience, so solid now you're like water And we started drowning
not like we'd sink any farther But I let my heart go,
its somewhere down at the bottom But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen
*I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster and eating us alive don't you ever wonder how we survived? Now that you're gone, the world is ours.
oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me But I'm not the villain despite what you're always preaching Call me a traitor
I'm just collecting your victims They're getting stronger, I hear them calling (calling, calling)
* I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster and eating us alive don't you ever wonder how we survived? Now that you're gone, the world is ours.
Well, you thoughtof straight big solution, well i liked attention. We're not always knowing the answers, you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it
*I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster and eating us alive don't you ever wonder how we survived? Now that you're gone, the world is ours. (x2)
I can't make my own decisions Or make any with precision Well maybe you should tie me up So i don't go where you don't want me You say that I've been changing That I'm not just simply ageing Well how could that be logical Just keep on craming ideas down my throte
Woah
You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
If gods the game that you're playing Well we must get more aquainted Because it has to be so lonely to be the only one who's holy It's just my humble opinion but it's one that I believe in You don't deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you
Woah
You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
This is the last second chance (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm half as good as it gets (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm on bopth sides of the fence (I'll point you to the mirror) Without a hint of regret I'll hold you to it
I know you don't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
