I think that people come and fade away like waves crashing against the coastal boat We have to throw ourselves into the blue and pray that we can keep our heads afloat
Because I′ve walked along beaches writing ′Save Our Souls′ in the sand And when the sea meets the horizon so far out only the shells will understand
You′re running from the waves, you′re running from the tide that′s changing everyday, so dive straight in You′re running out of time, the current′s pulling at your mind, so dive straight in
I think that people never change, though it seems like they do like rocks along the beach (Just hold my hand and take a dip in the water)
We′re just slowing rolling by the tide, you′ll find the strength is underneath (Your heart is young but still your body gets older)
′Cos i spent too long as a young boy skimming stones ′til the sea begins to grow (the clones are waiting by the rocks in the darkness)
but i found treasure there amongst them, i′m gonna take it all the way back home (the furthest step you take will always be ?water)
You′re running from the waves, you′re running from the tide that′s changing every day, so dive straight in. You′re running out of time, the current′s pulling at your mind, so dive straight in
So stained your eyes, wipe em clean boy, keep treading water, or you′ll sink or never see that face again It′s all lies, wipe ‘em clean boy, you′ll preach in danger but don′t you dare, no don′t you dare pretend
You′re running from the waves, you′re running from the tide that′s changing every day, so dive straight in. You′re running out of time, the current′s pulling at your mind, so dive straight in
If you tell me to jump, then I′ll die In my dreams, I′m there I always hoped that I′d learn how to fly In my dreams, I′m there
Fate always loses hope Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hope Now be a good girl and do what you′re told
If you tell me to jump, then I′ll die In my dreams, I′m there I always hoped that I′d learn how to fly In my dreams, I′m there
I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor of my fears with the nurse on the steps I′m only going where you′ll be someday, so don′t say "Rest in peace" in your prayers
Fate always loses hope Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hope Now be a good girl and do what you′re told
I hold you Remember me I hold you Never pretend for me
I hold you Remember me I hold you
Fate always loses hope Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hope Now be a good girl and do what you′re told
I hope you Remember me I hope you Never pretend for me
I hope you Remember me I hope you Never forget about me
I hope you Remember me I hope you Never forget about me
I hope you Remember me I hope you Never forget about me
I heard an angels voice, singing in quiet prayer It seemed to pull my heart, slowly straight up the stairs
I spent that night awake, though you lay fast asleep, I saw a teardrop fall, gently down your cheek
You still love him but she does too, she′ll take him far away from you You still love him but she does too, she′ll take him far away from you
I crept out of the house, and tip-toed to your room, But found your body gone, and left was just a hollow tomb
I think at times like falling into the deepest sleep I wake and try to move again but find my body′s rendered weak I feel that just like ... There′s ghosts out in the square tonight screaming i want my money back
You still love him but she does too, she′ll take him far away from you You still love him but she does too, she′ll take him far away from you
You talked me to sleep last night I hadn′t felt that sad in years Your eyes like glass mistakes They moved me close to tears You speak those favourite fables which I′m yet to live And casually confirm my fears That I′ve got nothing to give
I wish I could say that I′ve got no regrets But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk I wish I could say I′ve come to time like old
But as you said goodbye, I almost died I almost died
I take it back, all of it Those names I called myself The heroes of my childhood Like hardbacks on the shelf I take it back those promises I made to everyone I′m falling through a ribbon last Before I′d learned to run
I wish I could say that I′ve got no regrets But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk I wish I could say I′ve come to time like old
But as you said goodbye, I almost died I almost died I almost died
don′t lay a finger I said, but he held her with (?) kissed the crest of her lips and put his hand on her thigh one million in a week all the girls gonna go I′d kill you in a second he laughed yeah I know I won eight hundred thousand on a game show but it′s not enough to win her back as my tears hit the floor, he still said no come on man give me some slack I looked at the case, he said I′ll show you her blood I screamed down the phone line: so is this the price of love?
when I stare in your eyes I see the image of god well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood I called at a quarter past 9 and said I′ve done all I can he said you win some you lose some I feel bad for you man
he slammed down the phone, took his coat from the bed she said what happens now, (?) she said I love you, and pleaded for a hero to save you knew deep inside that he planned it this way I gave him my heart now he′s left it to die and I know I can′t go back he walks out the room, shouted see you around she begged, come on give me some slack you said, there′s no hope but babe you can wait for that door(?)′ she screamed from the window, so is the price of love? said is this the price of love? said is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love? so is this the price of love? so is this the price of love? so is this the price of love? so is this the price of love? so is this the price of love? so is this the price of love?
I love the feeling when we lift up watching the world so small below i love the dreaming when i think of the saftey in the clouds out my window i wonder what keeps us so high up could there be a love beneth these wings if we suddenly fall should i scream out or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i′m crying so frightend of dying relax yes im trying this fears got a hold on me
yes, this fears got a hold on me
i love the quite of the night time when the sun in the deathly sea i can feel my heart beating as i speed from then sense of time catching up with me the sky set out like a pathway but who decides which path we take as people drift into a dream world i close my eyes as my hands shake and when i see a new day who′s driving this anyway i picture my own grave cause fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
Floating neither up or down i wonder when i′ll hit the ground well the earth beneth my body shake and cast your sleeping hearts awake could it tremble stars from moon light skies could it drag a tear from your cold eyes i live on the right side i sleep in the left thats why everythings got to be love or death
Did I sit alone and ask about my future? When you replied I just turned away I′ve been searching through my books to try and find some truth Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way
And if I made a promise, could I stay by your side? Would you guarantee my safety? And say that I′d be all right
But if Judgement Day started tonight At least I′d know I was right and I′d be laughing at the end of the world Take my hand tonight I′ll think we′ll be all right, girl
And I can see it on the TV There′s an air attack People of the mountains, screaming "I′ll be back!" And I′m banging on your door So come on and let me in! Need a place to hide I need a place to hide before the storm begins
If I told you all the times that I′d done wrong Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away? I can′t forgive the things that I can still remember So I think my friendly sins are here to stay
And I could make a promise With a tear in my eye And all the hope in my heart But all the doubt in my mind
And if Judgement Day started tonight at least I′d know I was right And I′d be laughing at the end of the world Take my hand tonight I think we′ll be all right, girl
And I can see it on the TV There′s an air attack People on the mountains, screaming "I′ll be back!" And I′m banging on your door So come on and let me in! Need a place to hide I need a place to hide before the storm begins
Before the storm begins Before the storm begins Before the storm begins I need a place to hide before the storm begins
I can′t think straight, I′ve been thinking in love triangles, and vicious circles, is it the same as before?
And I said I could never lie to you, but you know I always do, is it the same as before?
And misery is like a hearse, cause you know where you′re going, There′s crowds at the windows, but no way of knowing, who they got this time, and who′s going next, she always leaves a letter and signs off with an S.
I can′t think straight, I′ve been thinking in love triangles, and vicious circles, is it the same as before?
And I said I could never lie to you, but you know I always do, is it the same as before?
And misery is like a hearse, cause I know where you′re going The waves getting higher And I′m tired of rowing She whispers in my ear Sings the cold Black Song Hold me a while longer She won′t be gone for long And fetch the cargirl I think it′s time we got out of here No brakes into the night And we sang as my mistress And we got a fine witness
Just give me a second darling To clear my head Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed The sand in the hourglass is running low I came through thunder, the cold wind The rain and the snow To find you awake by your windowsill A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill
I broke down in horror at you standing there The glow from the moon Shone through cracks in your hair. I shouted with passion, "I love you so much" But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch. You whispered "where are you?" I questioned your doubt But soon realised, you were talking to God now
You′ve got blood on your hands And I know it′s mine I just need more time So get off your low and let′s dance like we used to But there′s a light in the distance Waiting for me, I will wait for you So get off your low and let′s kiss like we used to
I looked in the mirror But something was wrong. I saw you behind but my reflection was gone. There was smoke in the fireplace As white as the snow. A voice beckoned gently ′Now it′s time to go′ A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness "Don′t touch me!" I screamed "I′ve got unfinished business"
You′ve got blood on your hands And I know it′s mine I just need more time So get off your low and let′s dance like we used to But there′s a light in the distance Waiting for me, I will wait for you So get off your low, and let′s kiss like we used to
I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral, He took the time out to be seen. His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch, that he′d been given by a magazine.
He didn′t cry when the priest gave the sermon, Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece. Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again, As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls, From the stars back to our cities, where we′ve never felt so small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands, He thinks how quick the water′s rising as another raindrop lands
He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel, Passing through the sick streets where he was born He said "Driver, what′s happened to these buildings? They all look run down and so alone."
He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse, Put the Do not Disturb on his door When the maid came in the morning She found him shivering on the bedroom floor
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls, From the stars back to our cities, where we′ve never felt so small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands, He thinks how quick the water′s rising as another raindrop lands

Lights still in our eyes, we′re leaving this whole fairground behind, it′s a dream that′s going cold.
Circus never dies, the act forever haunts these skies, i know we cannot stay.
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren′t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.
This place used to gleam, i see it in my hopeful dreams, now i had to get away. We move towards the stars, and all that we touch becomes ours, lets keep warm till it′s day.
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren′t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.
We′ll head south, just hold my hand now. I feel like i′m casting off my clothes and i′m running through the snow towards the sunset and i′m always with you.
Keep on running, keep keep on running, there′s no place like home, there′s no place like home.
Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren′t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.
We′ll head south, just hold my hand now, i feel like i′m casting off my clothes, and i′m running through the snow towards the sunset, where i′m always with you
On the cusp of vessel 18 A look of terror in our eyes The moonlight licked the face of danger Innocence made us like soldiers Untouchable and golden The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops
I know you′re sad I′m leaving So this may hurt a little But girl look from your window late tonight You think my heart is frozen While yours is slowly grieving You′ll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky
We were a dozen to the project With a galaxy of questions And all we heard was lies about the truth No choice but be obedient Like prisoners of war Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth
We thought about our loved ones Tallied 50 on our foreheads With the pen your mother gave me in the Spring The sun beat at the windows Within an hour James had cracked Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings
He said to lose my life or lose my love, That′s the nightmare I′ve been running from. So let me hold you in my arms a while, I was always careless as a child. And there′s a part of me that still believes, My soul will soar above the trees. But a desperate fear flows through my blood, That our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
Let′s grow old together, And die at the same time. Let′s grow old together, And die at the same time.
I said I′ve got no time I have to go, And I was more right then now I′ll ever know. He said my heart is faint, will minds regret, And left him crying next to the chapels steps.
Let′s grow old together, And die at the same time. Let′s grow old together, And die at the same time.
He said…
Let′s grow old together, And die at the same time. Let′s grow old together, And die at the same time.
He said…
