Quietdrive - When All That's Left Is You lyrics

Rise from the Ashes
Get Up
Take A Drink
Let Me Go In
Rush Together
Maybe Misery
I Lie Awake
The Season
Time After Time
Both Ways

Rise from the Ashes

I've felt this way before
I fell right through the floor
and I am certain I've become
broken bruised and numb
would you restate your opinion
and hold back your investigation
do you see the sins your making?
Because I've made them all before

I will now Rise from the ashes
Don't call me pretentious
I'm sitting here
Making my own rules
and if I fall from the ceiling
You'll be down there waiting
and my only hope
Is falling down

And by my own admission
you'll find that my condition
is worse than you've imagined
you're better off if you know
that every time before that I
have tried to measure pain inside
You can't ignore it
right now I can't ignore it

I will now Rise from the ashes
Don't call me pretentious
I'm sitting here
Making my own rules
and if I fall from the ceiling
You'll be down there waiting
to finish me

(It's settling, It's settling, It's settling)
Inside of me.
(It's settling, It's settling, It's settling)
I'll take my heart and rip my feelings out
before they make me doubt
and I'll fall down with flames burning alive again
as long as you know that...

I will now Rise from the ashes
Don't call me pretentious
I'm sitting here
Making my own rules
and if I fall from the ceiling
You'll be down there waiting
to finish Me
Finish Me

Get Up

Sometimes it's not that time
For things I cannot hear
For words I cannot feel
The way you want to go
It makes me feel like shit
I'm messed but that's not it
I wonder if she'll care
for me ever again
Waiting for the last time I'm waiting for the right time
To see if she will know the things she doesn't say to me...

And I feel the way I feel
Because I need you all the time
And I know that the things you know
But that's just not enough to make it mine
and I won't do anything that it might
compromise this time
So I'll just sit and hold my breath
only its not enough to make you mine

Get up its time to die
Just guess and don't ask why
Be late and just don't try, someday we will fly
Higher than the satellites, Into a special paradise
Where up is up and down is down,
And no one is around
I don't want to see you crying
lets leave the dramatics behind

I don't want to see you
This is that last time I can try and make you mine
I'll sit here and wait for it
Could be the last good thing that's perfect in my life
I'll sit here and wait for it
And you'll get what you want
I can't get what I want

Take A Drink

I never wanna be part of the herd,
I guess I was in case you haven't heard
Maybe you can tell that I can't stand
the way I want to be the included
I always want to be a mystery,
I always knew that 2 and 2 made three
I wish away the time I'm living in,
I never wanna see a smile again

It's not for sure
and I'm feeling
Like it's not for sure
Come on and take a drink with me
I don't think you can cope with it
I don't think you can handle it
Forgive my un-forgetfulness,
and take a drink with me

I wanted to be 2 but more than one
I only thought that I could be so dumb
Crush my heart with your new heels
I would beg for you but I don't kneel
I understand that you were living there
It never bothered me that I don't care
I wonder if I'll act on my impulse
I wonder if I'll leave when you say go

(Come on just take a drink with me)
If it's all you can take then I'll be okay
If it's all I can take then just pull me away...

But it's not for sure
and I'm feeling
Like it's not for sure
Come on and take a drink with me
I don't think you can cope with it
I don't think you can handle it
Forgive my un-forgetfulness,
and take a drink with me.

I never wanna be part of the herd
I guess I was in case you haven't heard
I wanna spend some time to make you see
so why not come and take a drink with me.

Let Me Go In

Best of luck to you my friend
Cuz I'm the one not giving in
Although I never thought
these words would come back to me
I've always wanted my choices to be obvious

Just let me go in (without your love)
And let me begin (to find in us)
a love that could find another way in you somehow

I've talked to her a thousand times before
but this time she fell to pieces
But I won't insist on telling the truth
I've always thought guys like me would't be obvious

Just let me go in (without your love)
And let me begin (to find in us)
a love that could find another way
and where we could find apologies

But its all turn and it's all laid out
So, I hope for her she doesn't find out the truth
Cuz this is what I could do right now
This is the part where you surrender
These are the things that I remember
I've wanted to tell you the truth,
But I can't right now.

Just let me go in (without your love)
And let me begin (to find in us)
Just let me go in (without your love)
And let me begin (to find in us)
A love that could find another way in you somehow.

Rush Together

They grew up in the same old town
Never knowing the other was around
Read from the same damn books
Never caught each others looks
But one day the sun will shine
I know for their eyes have told me so
Chasing advice from those who say
I've lost my mind

Rush together to find each other
No its too late
You can never wait for luck
Together playing the same instrument
That you still can't hear at all?

So that's how the story goes so far
I'll tell you the rest but now I'm tired of what I think
A situation where I can't sing But I hate the vagrant life
I know nothing has been more sold, till now
Living my life after those who say I've lost my mind

Rush together to find each other
No its too late
You can never wait for luck
Together playing the same instrument
That you still can't hear at all?

So what do you say? What do you say?
Can we turn this clock back 13 years and relate
I won't mind, Can we stay?
But isn't it fate? Isn't it fate?
That we spilled our guts out on this very day
I don't mind, I want to
I want to
Stay

Rush together to find each other
No its too late
You can never wait for luck
Together playing the same instrument
Are you listening at all?
Are you listening at all?

Maybe Misery

Can you answer me?
No more time for questioning
My car's outside I want to leave
Don't you think I'm interesting?
Well I'm listening
Everything's obvious
The way you put your hand on me
The way you talk so easily
The way your lips are glistening
Well I'm listening

But you get around,
You want me
You come around,
You need me
But this time around,
I wont be back at all
But maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you
And maybe yesterday
Was the day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity and
I'm pleased to you

Right now I think I'm sane
But I'm really just anxious
To cross that bridge
The subconscious oasis
Where right is right and wrong is wrong
And you aren't there to build me up

Maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you
And maybe yesterday
Was the day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity and
And I've seen it all
Seen it all
Many times before...

I Lie Awake

Can you hear me screaming?
Coming to find you.
Its not that I want to make it another night alone
This feeling is lonely
Sending me slowly
Hits me so deep it cuts my bone
Fills my heart
Burns me up
for way too long
for way too long
Here's my hand
Pull me up

I lie awake, because I'm scared
I'm not as fake as you once heard
But we'll lay down now
Making sure we put these words between us

Can you hear us falling
We're falling faster
Its hard to remember where we were at a year before
I thought we were ready
I thought we were steady
Till the emotion hit the floor
Fills my heart
Burns me up
for way too long
for way too long
Here's my hand
to pull me up

I lie awake, because I'm scared
I'm not as fake as you once heard
But we'll lay down now
Making sure we put these words between us
Don't put these words between us

I lie awake, because I'm scared
I'm not as fake as you once heard
But we'll lay down now
Making sure we put these words between us

I lie awake, because I'm scared
I'm not as fake as you once heard
And we'll take these words
And we'll put them down
On the floor beneath us
Don't put these words between us
Don't put these words between us

The Season

I'm feeling mixed up
A little bit confused
When everything is left unsaid
I'm feeling left out
A little bit concerned
I'll play it out in my head

But I'm still afraid that you haven't changed
Give me a reason to pull off your t-shirt
But I'm still okay, And I don't know why
Tell me your secret I won't tell your boyfriend now
When you say that
You're mixing me up now
You're pulling my teeth out
You're wishing my argument away
I'll follow directions
I'll stick to your reasons
This isn't the season to go running away...

I'll leave you untouched,
I never understood
I never questioned why you came
I wanna hit it up
But your still in charge
I know you'll be back one day

But I'm still afraid that you haven't changed
Give me a reason to pull off your t-shirt
But I'm still okay, And I don't know why
Tell me your secret I won't tell your boyfriend now
When you say that
You don't need me to feel
You're mixing me up now
You're pulling my teeth out
You're wishing my argument away
I'll follow directions
I'll stick to your reasons
This isn't the season to go running away...

But you don't understand, you don't
I can't tell you how to feel
When I'm on the outside
And you're all in

You're mixing me up now
You're pulling my teeth out
You're wishing my argument away
I'll follow directions
I'll stick to your reasons
This isn't the season to go running away...

You don't understand

Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new

You say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Sometimes you picture me I'm walking to far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear just what you've said

You say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm okay

But you Say go slow
I fall behind
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting (I will be waiting)
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time

Both Ways

Be honest with me
Did you ever think that these things that you did
Would come back to haunt you and fail you again
Don't ever question my will to admit
That when we're alone its too hard to resist
Making believe that we're bigger than this
Choosing a road that is different,
but similar
To the same one I took before

Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always what they appear to be
But as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old

Simpleness describes
The iron that is you and your rusty old life
Get on with the mattress and tell tale lies
Watch everything that you touch turns to ice
We're following the sheep and they are at it again
Making believe that they're free as it seems
But only finding out that they're on a sinking ship
That doesn't care
How many it saves today

Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always what they appear to be
But as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old

Watch out now, I see the light
At the end of the tunnel
It seems realistic
That getting there will make us fine
But watch out now, its full of glass
Don't take a chance
You'll surely pass
At least someday we'll know that reason why.

Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always what they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way... (to grow old)

Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always what they appear to be
But as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old

The perfect way
A perfect way
