this is my life its not what it was before all these feelings i′ve shared and these are my dreams that i′d never lived before somebody shake me ′cause i i must be sleeping
[chorus] now that we′re here, it′s so far away all the struggle we thought was in vain all the mistakes, one life contained they all finally start to go away now that we′re here its so far away and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive and i′m not ashamed to be the person that i am today
these are my words that i′ve never said before i think i′m doing okay and this is the smile that i′ve never shown before
somebody shake me ′cause i i must be sleeping
[chorus]
i′m so afraid of waking please don′t shake me afraid of waking please don′t shake me
They came for him one winter′s night. Arrested, he was bound. They said there′d been a robbery, his pistol had been found.
They marched to the station house, he waited for the dawn. And as they led him to the dock, he knew that he′d been wronged. "You stand accused of robbery," he heard the bailiff say. He knew without an alibi, tomorrow′s light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away, for ten long years he′ll count the days. Over the mountains and blue seas, a prisoner′s life for him there′ll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear, but yet he dare not say. Where he′d been that fateful night, a secret it must stay. He had to fight back tears of rage. His heart beat like a drum. For with the wife of his best friend, he spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away, he swears he will return one day. Far from the mountains and blue seas, back in her arms he swear he′ll be. Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and, over the hills and, over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell, he looks out through the bars. He reads the letters that she wrote. One day he′ll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day. As sure as the rivers reach the seas, back in his arms he swears she′ll be.
Over the hills and far away, he swears he will return one day. over the mountains and the seas back in her arms is where he′ll be.
Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day. As sure as the rivers reach the sea, back in his arms is where she′ll be.
This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there′s just one left ′Cause you know, you know, you know
[CHORUS] I love you I′ve loved you all along I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you′ll be with me And you′ll never go Stop breathing if I don′t see you anymore
On my knees, I′ll ask Last chance for one last dance ′Cause with you, I′d withstand All of Hell to hold your hand I′d give it all I′d give for us Give anything, but I won′t give up ′Cause you know, you know, you know
[CHORUS] That I love you I loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you′ll be with me And you′d never go Stop breathing if I don′t see you anymore
So far away So far away Far away for far too long So far away So far away Far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know I wanted I wanted you to stay ′Cause I needed I need to hear you say I love you I loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing ′Cause I′m not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me,and never let me go Keep breathing ′Cause I′m not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me never let me go
Keep breathing Hold on to me, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me, never let me go
Misery come take me Into a place I can′t forget Take comfort in the solace of regret Misery come take me I said I′m ready, now where′s your hat? It′s a million miles away from here, take my hand
You′re so perfect, so perfectly inept
So far away are you with me Will the music light, will the music light the day?
Misery I′m with thee In this beautiful loneliness And your legacy will last a lifetime, my regret
You′re so perfect, so perfect in death
So far away are you with me Will the music light, will the music light the day?
I was blinded by your presence I was fooled by your beauty And now I′m falling, falling out of love You′ve gone so far away But in my mind you′ll say I don′t know when But I′m sure I′m gonna see your face again
Green light, Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don′t smoke, don′t even want to Hey now, check your change Dressed up like a car crash Your wheels are turning but you′re upside down You say when he hits you, you don′t mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Hey babe, is that what it is
Red lights, gray morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depend′s on who′s around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me And when you talk, you talk at me And when I touch you, you don′t feel a thing
If I could stay... Then the night would give you up Stay...and the day would keep its trust Stay...and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satelite television You can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can′t call And if you jump, you just might fall And if you shout, I′ll only hear you
If I could stay... Then the night would give you up Stay...then the day would keep its trust Stay...with the demons you drowned Stay...with the spirit I found Stay...and the night would be enough
Three o′clock in the morning It′s quiet and there′s no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang And the clatter As an angel Hits the ground
I′m loving living every single day but sometimes I feel so.... I hope to find a little peace of mind and I just want to know.
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts, and what are we to be. Where is home on the milky way of stars, I dry my eyes again.
In my dreams I′m not so far away from home, What am I in a world so far away from home, All my life all the time so far away from home, Without you I′ll be so far away from home.
If we could make it trough the darkest Night we′d have a brighter day. the world I see beyond your pretty eyes, makes me want to stay.
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts, and what are we to be. Where is home on the milky way of stars, I dry my eyes again.
In my dreams I′m not so far away from home, What am I in a world so far away from home, All my life all the time so far away from home, Without you I′ll be so far away from home.
I count on you, no matter what they say, cause love can find it′s time. I hope to be a part of you again, baby let us shine.
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts, and what are we to be. Where is home on the milky way of stars, I dry my eyes again.
In my dreams I′m not so far away from home, What am I in a world so far away from home, All my life all the time so far away from home, Without you I′ll be so far away from home.
We′re gonna party tonight we all sit back in my car music is taking us tonoght to a better place. 70 miles far away, this map says "follow the way you can′t go wrong. We wait for you!"
that you′re there cause I care and I can′t wait to see you. So here we go!
Somewhere, somehow, tonight we′ll make it out and we′re gonna make this right. This game we play is funny all the way and we are gonna make this right.
And then we get to the place disappointement on my face: no girls, no food, nobody around. I guess we took the wrong way. So we jump back in my car turn music loud and go far to find a better place to stay even though I lost my hope.
You′re not there, I don′t care I can still be with my friends So here we go!
Somewhere, somehow, tonight we′ll make it out and we′re gonna make this right. This game we play is funny all the way and we are gonna make this right.
We get in a bar to have a drink the party is gone. But nothing is over: into the crowd I see your face. You lost the way exactly as I did before.
Somewhere, somehow, tonight we′ll make it out and we′re gonna make this right. This game we play is funny all the way and we are gonna make this right. I can stay all night long with you.
