Second Hand
03:26
|
|||
The knots we tie mean a lot 'till they're just the loose ends they imply
We try and we try to make sense of the senseless and truth of the lies
So tell me who's at fault when the fool decides to jump to the road underneath from the curb of a sidewalk, and expects to fly?
Well soon this will be long ago, soon this will be long ago
Your fingertips trace me so slow, but soon that will be long ago
The webs we spin turn to dust so fast so how could we win?
Atop of his highest branch he comes up beside me to cut off the limb
So tell me who's at fault when the fool decides to jump in so shallow a puddle they found on the street-side, and expects to swim?
Well soon this will be long ago, soon this will be long ago
Your fingertips trace me so slow, but soon that will be long ago
Little words blind your eyes, you won't reach no compromise
You just call for fire
Soon this will be long ago, soon this will be long ago
The second hand just goes and goes and soon we will be long ago

Blame
03:39

Once upon a time when I was only mine, I only had me to blame if not feeling sublime
Not a word about a boy
Yeah there was a time before there was a crime, I never knew how I'd be if someone crossed the line
Not a word about a boy
Things that should never be said
It's your ego I fed
Don't worry I won't let it happen again
It's too late to be bold
Now your heart is stone cold
In with the new, holding onto the old
Every day we'd meet, assured and guaranteed. So it cut right to the core when you just pressed delete
Couple words about a boy
Was not an easy feat, I missed a couple beats. But all in all in the end I landed on my feet
Couple words about a boy
Things that should never be said
It's your ego I fed
Don't worry I won't let it happen again
It's too late to be bold
Now your heart is stone cold
In with the new, holding onto the old
You don't even know what you are
How could I expect to tame you?
You don't even know what you are
It's not right for me to blame you
Things that should never be said
It's your ego I fed
Don't worry I won't let it happen again
It's too late to be bold
Now your heart is stone cold
In with the new, holding onto the old

On Your Feet
03:30
|
|||
They're out there every morning, white figures in the snow
They're at their work for hours, cursing all they know
But we call out together trying to break every rule
And we'll search forever for some diamonds and jewels
As light as a feather but they're still in no mood
Don't stop staring at me like I'm something you don't normally see
There's some rushing to that stream and some sirens in the sea to keep you up on your feet
On your feet
The leaves up on the tree tops, falling from the cold
Some of them get blown away while others turn a colour so bold
And we call out together trying to break every rule
And we'll search forever for some diamonds and jewels
As light as a feather but they're still in no mood
Don't stop staring at me like I'm something you don't normally see
There's some rushing to that stream and some sirens in the sea to keep you up on your feet
On your feet
Like we would heed your warnings
Keep it up, keep it up
Your never-ending stories
Give it up, give it up now
Don't stop staring at me like I'm something you don't normally see
There's some rushing to that stream and some sirens in the sea to keep you up on your feet
On your feet

Suddenly
04:15
|

I love your pretty words but I don't know how I should react
I'm reeling you in knowing that I'll have to throw you back
And I don't want to be the kind of girl who would do that
Please just understand I can hardly even tell where I am at
Don't worry about leaving me, suddenly
I know, you know you can't ever be the rest of me
I hope that you don't ever doubt what I said, hope you don't pull the thread
Just believe me that I was compelled by something that I felt
You caught me by surprise now things seem so complicated, don't they?
I learned long ago baby timing was never my forté
Wasting this potential seems wrong, I wish I didn't have to do that
Gotta go with higher stakes, wish I could keep you close but I can't
Don't worry about leaving me, suddenly
I know, you know you can't ever be the rest of me
I hope that you don't ever doubt what I said, hope you don't pull the thread
Just believe me that I was compelled by something that I felt
And I don't want you to ever change your shape
Like a fast car you were my escape
Such a pity to throw this all away
So much harder to do than to say
Don't worry about leaving me, suddenly
I know, you know you can't ever be the rest of me
I hope that you don't ever doubt what I said, hope you don't pull the thread
Just believe me that I was compelled by something that I felt

The Sound
04:37
|
|||
Looking for the flare but don't see any sign
Leaves rustle in the moonlight playing tricks on me
Run until they give out, you're nowhere in sight
Voices in my head, words never easy to find
Still see the look on your face, hey
Ashes falling like rain, hey
What's gone could never, no it could never...
Pick up, pick up, pick up, I can't make it alone
Thought give up, give up, all up, and I'm left with the sound
Pick up, pick up, pick up, I can't make it alone
Thought give up, give up, on us, and I'm left with the sound of my heart
Sun's way beneath the clouds, now. Went so long ago
Waves picking up the sound - just echo, echo, echo
Still see the look on your face, hey
Ashes falling like rain, hey
What's gone could never, no it could never...
Pick up, pick up, pick up, I can't make it alone
Thought give up, give up, all up, and I'm left with the sound
Pick up, pick up, pick up, I can't make it alone
Thought give up, give up, on us, and I'm left with the sound of my heart
