Can We Become

I’ve been up half the night wondering how to make it right.
I thought that we could keep it going. It’s hard to believe. Believe.
She said I didn’t try, “I really don’t need a guy calling me at three in the morning.
When he wants to see me.”
Deadlock traffic at a quarter of noon.
Trying not to worry gotta get to you soon.
Can’t drive faster, honey it’s no use.
Keep moving. Moving.
Deadlock traffic I can’t get through.
Keep trying to exit but there is no room.
Some big disaster I’m heading to.
Keep moving. Moving.
She told me not to cry. She told me, “Everything’s alright.
I just need some time alone to breathe. Breathe.”
Won’t go without a fight. I don’t want to keep inside all the words I left untold.
Darling please. Please.
Deadlock traffic at a quarter of noon.
Trying not to worry gotta get to you soon.
Can’t drive faster, honey it’s no use.
Keep moving. Moving.
Deadlock traffic I can’t get through.
Keep trying to exit but there is no room.
Some big disaster I’m heading to.
Keep moving. Moving.
Can We Become what we both know is real.
Can We Become what we both know is real.
I’ve got you and you’ve got me.
I’ve got you and you’ve got me.

I might live to be a thousand years old but I’ll never know love like you know.
I have no ground to stand on no other heart to grasp to call my own.
We write all night. We sleep all day. We cannot fight. Don’t know the way.
We stay inside. Behind our lives we hide. We only have a little more time before the LIGHT.
Dark as night, we’ve lost all sight of the world around but I still see.
We write all night. We sleep all day. We cannot fight. Don’t know the way.
We stay inside. Behind our lives we hide. We only have a little more time before the LIGHT.
It’s the middle of the night!

It’s the middle of the night!

Let Me In

You gotta let me in
You gotta try
Why Oh Why
Don’t I feel safe to drive
You gotta let me in
Deep In Your Heart
Right Next To my
Worries and my lies
You don’t have to be alone tonight
Go on now and dry your eyes
If I had just one wish I would take your pain
And I would throw it all away
I would take your pain
And I would throw it all away
You gotta bury him
Deep in the ground
And maybe for just tonight
We can feel alive
You don’t have to be alone tonight
Go on now and dry your eyes
If I had just one wish I would take your pain
And I would throw it all away
I would take your pain
And I would throw it all away
Away…
Away…
You don’t have to be alone tonight
Go on now and dry your eyes
If I had just one wish I would take your pain
And I would throw it all away
I would take your pain
And I would throw it all away

Go Back To Sleep

I’m a stranger in this land but I firmly staked my flag in the sand with both hands.
But I simply cannot recall how I came to be here at all.
The morning bird calls.
I’m awake but I don’t want this to end.
Go back to sleep I want to return to when we committed crimes in broad day light.
You were by my side like Bonnie and Clyde.
And if they ever catch up to us they’ll never take us alive.
Darling let’s fly!
Ooh
We’re seconds away from Nuclear war. I swim away as the missiles head towards shore.
I wonder what’s in store. I’m weightless and I’m spawning all my eggs;
a new obstacle around each new turn and bend.
Swim up stream towards the open sea, wild and free; just you and me.
We get caught in a fishing net and get brought up by the fleet ripe to eat.
Ooh

We Can't Stop Now
04:00

I lost my way. I’m trying to get back home.
It was the biggest collapse since the fall of Rome.
If you take me where you’re going, we can go all night.
I’ve never been as far as we are now.
What’s the place we’re going to and do you know how?
When are we leaving? I’m all ready to go.
If I fall from new heights,
Don’t be swayed.
There’s A Light Just Not That We Can See.
Ooh
You’ve seen things about me better left unknown.
And every time I look in your eyes I turn to stone
This place we are going, we can’t go alone.
If I fall from new heights
Don’t be swayed
There’s A Light Just Not That We Can See.
Ooh
This might just sound insane, but it won’t take a car or plane
Or a hand reaching down from above.
We’ll never be the same. No more eating off a silver plate.
But maybe we’ll find a life worth dreaming of.
So take me away let’s run as fast as we can.
There’s nothing we can say to make them understand.
It’s too late to turn back. WE CAN’T STOP NOW!
Ooh

I Get Lost
04:24
|
|||
|
There is a reason for this suffering.
It’s in a place that I can’t hide.
It’s in these moments when we are colliding; when we are rising with the tide.
It’s in the rust. It’s in the hoping that raised me up on high.
It’s in the lust. It’s in the groping I find…
That I Get Lost
And you get lost.
But there is nothing
That we can lose.
No
I Get Lost
And you get lost
Bet there is nothing
That we can lose
No
But there are distractions.
There is this feeling
There is this feeling
That I’m broken
But I’m not broken
The more the more I grow
The more the more I know
I Get Lost
And you get lost.
But there is nothing
That we can lose.
No
I Get Lost
And you get lost
Bet there is nothing
That we can lose
No
But there are…
I wanna feel it. I want that heartache to make me feel like have something.
I wanna feel it. I need that heartache to make me feel like I’ve got nothing.
But I Get Lost
And you get lost.
But there is nothing
That we can lose.
No
I Get Lost
And you get lost
Bet there is nothing
That we can lose
But there are distractions.
