The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And Iґm down on my knees and I know that something is missing.
Because the back of my mind is holding things Iґm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because Iґm always denying them.
Iґm a bit of a manic when itґs not as I plan it
Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I donґt want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
It wonґt ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know itґs hard to choose if youґre chained
And when itґs all you control cause youґve got nothing less to hold
Youґre getting tighter and tighter itґs getting harder to let it go
I donґt want to know
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour
Stand me up and maybe I wonґt be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I wonґt always fall...
Save me
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the road is a minefield
I can’t follow the way she moves
I can’t see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear…
Chorus
When You’re Gone
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?
Verse
Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can’t expect the hard curves
There’s no borders, there are no lines
How can I know where to turn?
You make the street lights reappear.
I feel bright when you stand near.
I know what I am when you are here.
My place becomes so clear…
When You’re Gone
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road it know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?
Drive my soul?
When you’re gone.
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know
You show me where to go.
When you’re gone.
Will I lose control?
You’re the only road I know.
You show me where to go.
Who will drive my soul?

Out across cities I see buildings turn into piles
and watch the world in wonder, as mountains turn into tiles
and trees loosing their leaves and their faces becoming tired
i wish i could discover something that doesn't expire
come stumble me
take me river, carry me far
lead me river, like a mother
take me over to some other unknown
put me in the undertow
such other things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter
the same dynamic that another day would never matter
it really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving
and things that don't make sense are always a little deceiving
come and humble me
take me river, carry me far
lead me river, like a mother
take me over to some other unknown
put me in the undertow
i wanna go where you're going
a follower, following
changing, but never changed
claiming, but never claimed
take me river, carry me far
lead me river, like a mother
take me over to some other unknown
put me in the undertow
take me river, carry me far
lead me river, like a mother
take me over to some other unknown
put me in the undertow

Verse 1
Please excuse me
I'm not thinking clear
It must just be stress
But I likely shouldn't be here
I'm such a mess
Chorus
I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get it better right afterward
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
How come I can never get the right words
I need to convey
Wish I could explain
Verse 2
The things that I have to work out
I don't feel right
What has come over me
I'm about to lose my mind
Chorus
Bridge
Can I let the trees do the talking
Can I let the ground do the walking
Can I let the sky fill what's missing, and Can I let my mouth do the listening
The listening
Chorus
What I need to say
. . .
|

My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
What a disappointment, I had it perfectly
What I was going to bring up suddenly
Stood like a stone as you stood quietly
You're making it hard for me
All I can do is freeze
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice
I don't think you're knowing how hard this is for me
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
So I swallowed my pride and I got on my knees
But still you just stood there as you stared at me
Your ego is getting old
How did you get so cold
I'm looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry
It's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy.
What I got to say to make you let me get away with it this time.
I know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me,
But I'll make a bet that you'll be better to forget about me,
Even better yet I'll let a little light melt the ice, ice baby!

Once in a while i act like a child to feel like a kid again
It gets like a prison in the body i'm living in
Cause everone's watching and quick to start talking, i'm losing my innocence
Wish i were a little girl without the weight of the world
CHORUS
It would be nice to start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, i'd bend, let's play pretend
Remember the times we had soda for wine,
and we got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you was check your attitude
Yeah when fights were for fun, we had water in guns,
and a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of home i guess i'll never know
CHORUS
It would be nice to start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, i'd bend, let's play pretend
And when it's the end,
Our lives will make sense
We'll love, we'll bend, let's play pretend
It's not going to be long before we're all gone with nothing to show for them
Stop taking lives, come on let's all grow up again
CHORUS
It would be nice to start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, i'd bend, let's play pretend
And when it's the end,
Our lives will make sense
We'll love, we'll bend, let's play pretend

Don't think too hard, if you think it hurts that bad.
Don't talk about it, don't let it get you down.
It's only one part, of the story.
Just let it go, don't let it bring you down now.
Sing the last thing on your mind.
The last word on your breath.
I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best.
The last thing on your mind.
'Cause I don't need your mess.
I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less.
Straighten up your tie, take the microphone.
Forget about it, don't let it get you down.
Now is not the time, and you're not alone.
Shut up about it, no one can bring you down now.
Sing the last thing on your mind.
The last letter on your breath.
I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best.
The last thing on your mind.
'Cause I don't need your mess.
I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less.
I'll be okay, if you'll,
Sing the last thing on your mind.
The last letter on your breath.
I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best.
The last thing on your mind.
'Cause I don't need your mess.
I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less.
Sing the last thing on your mind.
The last letter on your breath.
I'll be the one to keep you, keep you at your best.
The last thing on your mind.
'Cause I don't need your mess.
I'll be the one to keep you one disaster less

How many times will the clock go around
How many times can my hands hit the ground
How many coffins before theres a crown
How far will I fall til the alarm sounds
How come you love me when I am ugly
Guess I can only hope
CHORUS
Give me a second go,
Dont let me go alone
You saw me at the worst,
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know,
Give me a second go
No matter the weather theres never a break
Conquer a ladder then slip on a snake
Cried til my river turned into a lake
And Im wondering now before its too late
How come you save me when I am angry
Reasons Ill never know
CHORUS
One to five Im half alive, six to nine Im out of line
Ten to twelve Im not myself, by the millionth time
I cry.

If you don't believe me,
If you don't like my plans,
You musn't tell me,
How I know your face like the back of my hands.
We walk the city,
I talk to you, understand
So won't you tell me.
How I know this place like the back of my hands.
My arms get cold,
In February air.
Please don't lose hold of me, out there.
And I know you're near me.
I know you understand.
Say that you're with me.
Say you know my face like the back of your hands.
My arms get cold,
In February air.
Please don't lose hold of me out there.
My arms get cold,
In February air.
Please don't lose hold of me, out there.
My arms get cold,
In February air.
Please don't lose hold of me out there.
My arms get cold,
In February air.
Please don't lose hold of me out there.
And i know this place like the back of my hands

It's late and I am tired
wish I could spark a smile
the place is flying high
but right now I wanna be low
Don't wanna move an inch
let alone a million miles
and I don't wanna go
but I know I gotta go
I just want to feel alive
The times you don't wanna wake up
Cause when you sleep
it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
you need to get up
gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
the way you feel
is something everybody goes through
Dark out
but you still gotta lie up
you need to wake up
gotta keep your face up
Seems like the more you grow
the more time you spend alone
before you know it
you'll end up perfectly on your own
The city's shining bright
but you don't see the light
how can you concentrate
on things that don't make you feel right
I just want to feel alright
The times you don't wanna wake up
Cause when you sleep
it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
you need to get up
gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
the way you feel
is something everybody goes through
Dark out
but you still gotta lie up
you need to wake up
gotta keep your face up
I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
I'm gonna leave a mark
I'm gonna set a spark
I'm coming up off the ground
I won't be looking down
The times you don't wanna wake up
Cause when you sleep
it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
you need to get up
gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
the way you feel
is something everybody goes through
Dark out
but you still gotta lie up
you need to wake up
gotta keep your face up

Give me a disaster, Give me emergency
Stand me at the head of the crusade without a remedy
Show me to the shipwreck Show me how the ? shake
When i'm at the edge of sorrows blade, Show me how a heartbreaks
Be steady on your feet, matter the trouble you meet
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
Find me at the bottom looking at the vactures
Standing in the heart of the disease following my heart cares
Looking for the founder, Looking for the blackness
Im learning how to get up off my knees and all it takes is practice
Be ready on your feet, Matter the trouble you meet
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
I'm not the hunter, Im not the ?
Just looking for wisdom in the dark
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

I'm not yours, and you're not mine
but we can sit and pass the time
no fighting wars, no ringing chimes
we're just feeling fine
this is where we're supposed to be
sitting by a broken tree
no tragedy, no poetry
just staring at the sky
I could wait a thousand hours
even sing in summer showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet with you
with you
I like it here, beside you dear
even more than you appear
and in the clouds my head is clear
every time you say hello
Here's my heart and here's my mouth
and I can't help if things come out
'cause there are things I want to shout
but maybe I'll stay low
I could wait a thousand hours
even sing in summer showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet with you
with you
I'm not yours, and you're not mine
but we can sit and pass the time

We had a rocket
That fell out of orbit
We couldn't stop it
We couldn't control it
We ran a good course
It was a good flight
But I felt the hard force
Holding me too tight
[CHORUS:]
We are rockets in the sky
We are planets passing by
Up up and away
Forget me
Go your own way
Sometimes a heart cools
After the ship goes
And sometimes the mind fools
Only the body knows
[CHORUS]
Up up and away [REPEAT]
[CHORUS (x2)]
Up up and away [REPEAT]
