Perfect Time Of Day
[Verse 1:]
It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day
[Chorus:]
And you wont feel a thing
And you wont recall anything at all
[Verse 2:]
Close your eyes and take your last breath
Press your head aside, the end is the beginning
Everyone between is so lost, so lost.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Let your colors collide
The time is so right
I keep running behind
But I know your meaning
You love to fall
(...)
The perfect time of day
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
Wooooo it's the perfect time of day
Come on now
It's the perfect time of day
it's the perfect time with you
Collide
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find, you and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
Trouble In Here
All that I wanted to say
I'll never come here again
All that I wanted to say
All gone
Spring time is always in hand
Almost as if you were there
Making a hole under me, again
Hold on
'Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
Thing that I fear
Take all the love outta me
So I'd never see it again
Lost, where are we?
On a plane
Ah, yeah
'Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
Thing that I fear
Ohhhh, yeah... ohhh
'Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
A thing that I share
Hold on
There's trouble in here
Thing that I fear
Yeah, heyy, ohh, heyy, heyy
Heyy, heyy, mmmm, oh, mmmm, oh
Sunday Morning
It's not that bad
We could have died
Chalk it up to being young
Can you prove it was me?
No morning drive
No blurred headlight
from the corner of my eye
If only you were here right now,
you'd tell me...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't it be more than livin' in your wake
If you and I would ever cease to be
Yeah...
Your summer dress
A late down pour
and how they caught us on the stairs
That silent song you'd sing to me
keeps singing...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't I be more than livin' in your wake
if you and I would ever cease to be
No, my love
Hold on
We bend, I break
You fall, we scrape
I blame it all on being older now
I'm still singing...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't I be more than livin' in your wake
if you and I would ever....yeah
if you and I would ever cease to be
Yeah....
I'll Take You On
Make me fall down
Make me get up
And if I'm alright
Make sure I'm scared to death
Maybe I'm useless
If I could just remember
Make me feel nervous and I'll
Make you surrender
I'll take you on
Yeah, I'll take you on
I'd give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'd give it all away
But you don't
Feel much better
You said it yourself
You said I'm not ready
I'm telling myself
But it's not sinking in
Maybe I'm new at this
Or is it just your reaction
Be my illusion, and I'll
Be your distraction
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
I'd give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'd give it all away
But you don't
Feel much better
Oh, would I be hurt
It wouldn't hurt to see you again
Do you see what I meant
When I told you before
That I never wanted
To feel like this again, no
I'd give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'd give it all away
But you don't
Feel much better
Can we stop all the world now
Sooner or later
I'll lose all control now
When the rain stops, we'll end it
Whoa, now
Nothing to fear here
In my baby's arms
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
She Says
sweet is the sight
of her room
window open by candle light
how would you know
cold winter on the shore
chills the dress she wore
it's on the floor
still it feels so warm
today
and that's why i'm wondering
why you had to tell me
what's going on in your head
what's wrong
come around to another time
when you don't have to run
and when she says she wants somebody else
i hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
and when she breaks down and makes a sound
you never hear her
the way that i do
and when she says she wants someone to love
i hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
and when she breaks down and let's you down
i hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
swing into flight
over hills
over her hills it's twilight
yeah i guess that's right now
and while we're here, tell me
why it's so funny
that you're so funny
when you're mad
cause it's mad, so mad
and thats why i'm wondering
why you had to tell me
what's going on in your head
what's wrong
come around to another time
when you don't have to run
and when she says she wants somebody else
i hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
and when she breaks down and makes a sound
you never hear her
the way that i do
and when she says she wants someone to love
i hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
and when she breaks down and let's you down
i hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
i don't know where you're coming from
and i don't know where you're coming to
and i don't know what it means to me
and you don't know what it means to you
she doesn't mean you
Numbness For Sound
Cold in the Sun
My feet on the ground
A pale windless city
A numbness for sound
I'll wait, back here
or will you notice
A moment in time
A photograph lost here
Since you were mine
I'll wait back here
or should I start pushing my way back
Yeah...
Should I start pushing my way back
I walk past your room
A deep silhouette
You're tired of racing
I dont understand
I'll wait, back here
Cold and beneath me
A soaked cigarette
I'm asleep on a shoulder that I've never met
I'll wait back here
Or should I, start pushing my way back
Yeah...
Should I start pushing my way
home
And I'm with all these women
And I'm on the edge of my breath
Ohh...
And I'm thinking of leaving
I could just lay down
Lay down and freeze to death.
Yeah.....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Ohhh....
Cold in the Sun
My feet on the ground
A pale windless city
A numbness for sound
You & A Promise
She was nervous
She was late
She left it up to fate
Standing at a phone, oh
And she knows what she wants
And she came here to take it
How perfect it could be
You and me
And she met him
At the door
I don't want you anymore
Remember what you said
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
You...
He turned and he didn't wait
He walked right through the gate
So glad to be alone
Mmm.. mmm...
And he knows who to call
I'll always be there for you
Call me anytime
I don't mean to offend
The voice on the other end
Is a stranger to me
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
You...
And they say to themselves
And they say to themselves
How could I ever let this happen
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
End Of Our Days
Here, where they can't find us
I dare them to call me out
Or tell you
We met here on purpose
I bet they can't wait to wake us up
It's all a little bit strange
I know it's a little bit strange
make a point and ignore them
come on let's wait this out
they'll find out
we never stop turning
and sometimes it's tough
to change direction
I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange
At the end of a day
I'm gonna say what I mean
It's slipping all away, away
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange
At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say what I mean
Well I'm
At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say what I mean
Slipping all away
It's slipping all away
It's slipping all away, now
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
Oh, there's no escape
We'll escape
Come Lay Down
come lay down at the edge
come lay down at the broken edge
come lay down at the feet of angels
eyeing you in a northern sky
come lay down at the end
come lay down where the times suspended
come lay down and and hear the voices
calling you from a northern sky
follow me and don't look down
you're alright
come with me, forget you're high
it's alright in all
your eyes are open and singing
your eyes are open
and not quite breathing
your eyes are open
you're seeing things
that i can't see as hard as i try
follow me and don't look down
you're alright
come with me and forget you're high
it's alright
and alright.
don't look down
keep your eyes off the ground
so afraid
these days will fall
like tears down your face
follow me and don't look down
you're alright
come with me forget your high
it's alright
and alright
follow me don't look down
you're alright
come with me forget you're high
it's alright, alright
