I've had better days than this
Words trip like untied shoelaces
Still you're worth falling down for once in a while
And I'm disinclined to admit
With you and I this could be it
And something's telling me we'll know before too long
Are you really going out there on your own
These tangled lines all come undone
How did it feel when you let go
You try your luck in your best suit
Tied to a broken parachute
It's the hole in my heart you fell through
Tried reading tea leaves and the stars in all the days we were apart
Maybe my mind wasn't made up, but I chose love
Still I'm inclined to admit, with you and I this might be it
These failed predictions kept us wondering all the time
I never wanna let you down
So why not cut these strings before we hit the ground
And now you're out there on your own
These tangled lines all come undone
Tell me how it feels letting go
You try your luck in your best suit
Tied to a broken parachute
It's the hole in my heart you fell through
If you say I'm wrong I'll say you're wrong
But no one has to be right
And if you say you're wrong I'll say I'm wrong
Nothing could be worth this fight
We try our luck not our strong suit
We can't give up this parachute
Oh the hole in my heart you fell through
. . .

When we were left alone
Under the constellations glow
So many times I wanted your love
But I could never let you know
Under the cover of deep dark night
We go on and on and why were we waiting for so long
This won't be wrong when daylight comes
Beneath the same bright stars
Where all your friends lie fast asleep
We let the campfire burn to embers
You've never been so close to me
Stop talking
I can't wait
No need to say the right thing
Under the cover of deep dark night
We go on and on and why were we waiting for so long
This won't be wrong when daylight comes
You and I alone
With all the secrets that were told
So many times I wanted your love
But I could never let you know
Under the cover of deep dark night
We go on and on and why were we waiting for so long
This won't be wrong when daylight comes
We'll be under the covers and out with the light
We'll go on and on and you know we waited for so long
This can't be wrong if we hold on
Can you see me now, can hear me now?
Can you feel me now, can you see me now?
The fire next time we meet
We won't hide anything
The fire next time we meet
You always say the right thing
. . .

Ivaloo one day they'll name this street after you
Eyes wide as the moon
Your smile so far away, beautiful fool
I'll lose my heart to you
I saw you riding round the reservoir
The sidewalk slows as you pass by
Somewhere on India near the boulevard
You stole my heart that day
Ivaloo how could I ever keep up with you
In the afternoon won't you find your way to the place we once knew
Don't give this up too soon
You'll bring your overhead projector
To demonstrate where we'd go wrong
You'll chart our every flaw
Shown tentimes tall on the bedroom wall
But if you'd love me we could erase it all
Well maybe without me you'd be better off
And if you say you love me
I should know better by now
In the afternoon I hope you find your way
Guess I always knew you'd be leaving soon
Ivaloo one day they'll name this street after you
My beautiful fool
Your eyes bright as the moon
Light up my room
How I hate to see you go
. . .

The sun shines at night
We're in love and it feels so right
The sun shines at night
We're in love and it feels so right
Remember when we weren't afraid of the dark
From my street to your backyard
With your hand in mine and in the hours apart
You were the beating of my heart
We hold on tight
We had the summer of our lives
But your doubts, they hold strong
And my hope it burns too long
So don't go
The sun shines at night
We're in love and it feels so right
The sun shines at night
Wherever we go we'll be all right
Take the green line to the red
At the station we'll forget
The crowds of people, the turnstiles' spin
Nothing matters 'cause you're here again
And we hold on tight
We had the summer of our lives
The sun shines at night
We're in love and it feels so right
The sun shines at night
Wherever we go we'll be all right
So don't go
The sun shines at night
We're in love and it feels so right
. . .

Sometimes I ask how could it be
Someone like you would want someone like me
And I'm here waiting on your love
I've been lying awake at night
Listening to the birds singing in the dark
And I'm still waiting on your love
We could be holding on tighter
Had to learn to let go as we got higher
Oh no oh no don't go
I wanna take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right
If the morning comes at all
I'll dress you up like you're my paper doll
And take you everywhere I go
We won't be afraid to be happy
It's not so easy feeling everything
We were so ready for the fall
If we could only surrender let it in
We'd never have to ask what we were missing
Oh no oh no don't go
I wanna take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right
We could be holding on tighter
Had to learn to let go as we got higher
We could be holding on tighter
Oh no oh no don't go
I wanna take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right.

The piano makes the sound you play so quietly
These love notes, letter bombs
You send them back to me
Doors and windows break
But not this melody
These not so subtle signs
This house can't make us stay
Didn't I warn you, didn't you want to
Make me feel this way
Didn't I warn you
You know I've loved you from the start
But this house can't make you stay
Sometimes these things just fall apart
We might never be the same
Maybe I can never be everything you'll ever need
But I can put my arms around you
If we tear this down, line up every stone
Will memory disconnect us
From all that came before
Cause sometimes our own hearts
Rewrite these histories
To keep themselves from breaking
Is that all we need
Didn't you warn me
Didn't I want to
Make you feel the same
Didn't you want me
You know I've loved you from the start
But this house can't make you stay
Sometimes these things just fall apart
Could we ever be the same
Maybe I can never be everything you'll ever need
But I could put my arms around you
Something here's still beautiful
Something only we know
Nothing's lost if we can find it in time
Find it in time
Call up the general
Call in the major
We need you now
Weren't there warnings
From headquarters, oh no
Call up your mother
Call in the tigers
You know I've loved you from the start
No this house can't make us stay
But sometimes these things just fall apart
This will never be the same
Maybe I can never be everything you'll ever need
But I can wrap my arms around you
Maybe you can never be everything I'll ever need
But could you put your arms around me
You know I've loved you from the start
But sometimes these things just fall apart
. . .

Outside my window
Reverse the rain drops
They'll run together
Like the Nile to the sea
As I wait for sunrise
I'm worlds away
But all the continents dividing
Couldn't take you from me
And I want you here so close to me
Even if my mind's wondering
I can never stay in one place long
But where you are 's where I belong
Tried to remember
where it was you said you'd go
You closed your eyes and
Pointed a finger at the spinning globe
And I want you here so close to me
Even when my mind's wondering
I can never stay in one place long
But where you are 's where I belong
Will I ever tire of all these
Expeditions to the unknown
Well I could be lying
Here beside you
No place to go
(No place to go)
And I want you here so close to me
Even if my mind's wondering
I can never stay in one place long
But where you are 's where I belong
Yeah I want you here so close to me
(No place to go, oh oh)
I can never stay in one place long
But where you are 's where I belong
No place to go, oh oh
. . .

Stand up straight and close your eyes
Don't look now the evening sun has burned through everyone
We're silhouettes, we're dark as night
Why'd we let the sunshine in when we began
Burned through our hearts and all our plans
But if you don't try you might just succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
So love just comes and goes
Hold your hand up to the sky
If you could you'd gather every star you'd ever wished on
Interrogating every one
Why'd they have to let you down when
You'd confided all you want is love to light you up
But if you don't try you might just succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
So love just comes and goes
Now when you look at the stars are you just thinking about
How long ago they burned out
When you're so far away it takes time to see change
These things are bigger than we are
And if you'd try this just might amount to something
There's still danger in never getting hopes up again
Sparks fly and love may come and go but
Your light's much brighter than you know
Don't try, you just might succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
And love just comes and goes
. . .

How many times in our lives have we tried to
I didn't realize I could still surprise you
How many times in our lives are we lied to
Didn't realize I could still surprise you
Did I break your open heart
After ten years together we're still ten years apart
If I could make it up to you tonight
Would you ever let me love you like you did before the fight
It's my night, your morning, when I call
The signal breaks but the quiet says it all about
How many miles it takes just to find you
A satellite stars and an ocean behind you
Did I break your open heart
As long as we're together or as long as we're apart
If I could make it up to you tonight
Would you send me out a signal from your broken satellite
If I reach you on this fading line
If I reach you just in time
If I miss you I'll never know
Did I miss you long ago
Did I break your open heart
After ten years together we're still ten years apart
If I could make it up to you tonight
Would you ever let me love you like you did before the fight
Did I break your open heart
As long as we're together or as long as we're apart
If I could make it up to you tonight
Would you ever let me love you like I do
. . .

Tell me can you hear me anymore
Tell me does this make sense anymore
I didn't mean to make anyone upset
I just didn't want to be mean anymore
Didn't want to make scenes anymore
That's what happens when I have to pretend
And it's not the first time I heard you say
Why can't you just love me the same way
I disappoint you try as I may
But don't say you'd be better off without me these days
No one wants to get hurt anymore
Used to seem we all played at these wars
Of love and jealousy
We're so careful cause we've been hurt ourselves
Cheated on or hurt someone else
Or we've just seen too many casualties
And it's not the first time I've heard you say
Why can't you just love me the same way
I disappoint you try as I may
But don't say you'd be better off without me these days
This could happen to you or anyone
When everything and nothing's wrong
You're doing the best you can just to hold on
You just don't want to be mean anymore
Just don't want to make scenes anymore
That's what happens when you have to pretend
And it's not the first time I heard you say
Why can't you just love me the same way
I disappoint you try as I may
But don't say you'd be better off without me these days
No one wants to get hurt anymore
No one wants to get hurt anymore
No one wants to but we can't stop now
You say you lost the year to love
You'll lose the next one to longing
And maybe none of us is safe
But we can keep on falling
Yeah we can keep on falling
Yeah we can keep on falling
We can keep on falling
