Les paroles


1. TRADE THIS FEAR

Who is this darkness
Who is this illusive dreamer
Why do I love the way this distance feels
It's coiled up independence

I want so much to run/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear/Carry me over all

What part of my heart
enters into your secrets
And where is the key to cherish you

I want to repay all the debt
Insecurities ran up
My peaceful surrender I do not own!

I want so much to run/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear/dear

Was I dreaming when
I called you the loveliest

Was I only hoping
my pride would quiet itself

Everything is quiet/Everything's so quiet

I want so much to run/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear/dear

Call the guards/Call the authorities
And lock this tension up
Call the guards before my heart
it runs away again


2. SONG FOR A FRIEND

Does she linger in the air that
follows you home each day
Do you ever stop and stare at yourself
For traces of her

Can a picture bring some comfort
Where a song melody leaves off
Is she silently rocking you to sleep

Because I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light in my world today

Because it would be an injustice
not to see that kind of love live on

What kept your eyes up
Kept your world from falling
Darkness chokes but you found a way out

May I say your words are insight
Something unique
Hold on my friend
She's rocking you out of here

Because I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light in my world today

'Cause it would be an injustice not to see
That kind of love

and we sing oh/and we sing oh
and we sing oh/and we sing oh

Because I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light in my world today

(and we sing oh)
'Cause it would be an injustice not to see
That kind of love/That kind of love


3. THE FALLING KIND

Should we even wonder
Why our hearts are torn?
Why our image is based
On this broken city

Should we ask ourselves
why our lungs breathe in sickness?
Innocence is seen as weakness
Laughter at as naive

And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to
keep you safe and sound

And it's these things you claim to believe
Don't let them be the ones
you forever try to please

It's a scene that leaves you cold
Why choose anything else
and lose your place in line?

May I ask one thing
How do you think this will work out?
You are no more well-liked
than those who have been betrayed

And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to
keep you safe and sound

And it's these things you claim to believe
Don't let them be the ones
you forever try to please

Look at you now/Look at you now

[Solo]

And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to
keep you safe and sound

And it's these things you claim to believe
Don't let them be the ones
you forever try to please


4. LOVER'S LIE

Where'd you go
The leaves they move too fast
I was lost looking for your face

Did you go to catch the lover's lie
Or to move the stars and put them in place

Is there ever a dream of mine
you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race to
hope I put a sparkle in your eye

Did you know, when you move I breathe
I'd take blind destiny over empty space
As my friends slowly fade into ghosts
I hold on tighter and struggle for demands

Is there ever a dream of mine
you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race to
hope I put a sparkle in your eyes

[Solo]
Sparkle in your eye

Is there ever a dream of mine you-
oh you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race until
I put a sparkle oh

Is there ever a dream of mine you-
oh you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race until
I put a sparkle/sparkle in your eye


5. DESIRE ON REPEAT

It's all the same/Sex in the air
Your promises all the same
You'll be the one who will always care

But how can you promise the world
How can you promise your heart
When it's always searching...
But I'm just like you

I don't want to deny my heart
its chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul
something real

Is there anything left in this world that
Will satisfy me

"Do you really love him" they'll say
Your second chances are
scribbled in the rules
But I think the consequence, it's just.

Something more feels so exciting now

And this black romance is so enticing
This desire is worth the fighting
But is it worth deciding that
I am just like you

I don't want to deny my heart
its chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul
something real

Is there anything left in this world that
Will satisfy you and me

And it keeps repeating/it keeps repeating

And we keep believing/we keep believing

Disrupt the part of me
that needs some space

Repeat that look I see in your face

Reminds me of truth
Remind me of the reason for existing

Remind me of truth
Remind me of the reason for existing/Oh


6. IN THE QUIET

Do you see my eyes losing interest? Wondering about someone
always seems to take your place

Can lighting strike the same place twice
in my heart, as it does when you speak?

I need that fire to burn in me
Tell me, will it be

Disguising plans I've made before
Learning what I was made for

Desire is trampled by my faults
But somehow in the quiet you make sense

Can lighting strike the same place twice
in my heart, as it does when you speak?

I need that fire to burn in me
Tell me, will it be

Will you fall on me/Will you fall on me
Will you fall on me/Will you fall...

...like you did before?

Oh, you've watched me in my youth
When I thought you didn't need to
You knew best


7. IT'S ALL HAPPENING ON BROADWAY

If you lay me down in this mess
will I remember your name
When you come back calling for me
like you said you would

Do I trust your breath will sustain you
in all your long hours
Do I love your weakness enough
to see it as my strength

Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you

I am no more flattered
by your wandering eyes
Than I am by your softly broken lies

Oh the air is thick with betrayal
We search for devotion and
wind up settling for emotion

Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else
has failed u/has failed u/has failed u

You don't make me want to dance with u

You make me wanna
You make me wanna

Make me wanna run
and find something true

You make me want to

You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to

Oh to find something true/Something true
Someone like you/something

Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
And you come back/and you come

Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
And you come back/and you come back


8. STILL STANDING

They're building hate today
I see it in the eyes of every passing gaze

They're calling your name today
You've won/Congratulations

Say what you're supposed to say
Be safe/Make everyone feel comfortable

Call me out/Let me breathe again
Call me out/Let me see again

Breathe into me
the air you say you're not polluting
And flatter me/Tell me I am beautiful
That I'm the only one you care for

Make me believe that
all your good intentions
Will offset all the wrong you've done
Still I'll be screaming

Call me out/Let me breathe again
Call me out/Let me see again

You don't know all the wrong you've done
But we're still standing
We will cast our votes and not be afraid
We will not fall

Won't you call us out
giving us freedom again

Won't you call us out
giving us freedom again


9. REDEMPTION SOON

My eyes, they never sleep
My eyes, they torture me and
My heart it falls so fast
but it looks back/it looks back

My knees are getting weaker
each passing day/each passing day

With each word of disapproval my backbone falters oh

Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of
Could this be redemption soon
I need redemption soon

Believe me when I say
I'm trying to make it just like you
Could you show some grace and
Fall back into my spell
Into my hell/Into my hell

Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of
Could this be redemption soon
I need redemption soon

And you don't even know
where I come from anymore

It used to be so easy
Your provision doesn't even fall
on my land anymore
Conversation weakens in your eyes

Hoooh

Could this be my ticket out of here...
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of...

Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of

Could this be
redemption soon
redemption soon
redemption soon


10. MOMENTS REWOUND

When I'm lost without a word to say
When I'm not the most intriguing
Will you stay

When I've called just to hear you say "hi"
Will you find me too needy and walk away

And I know
These are silly questions to ask you
Because you've proven to love me
Far beyond my faults

And I'll hold on to every conversation
If it could be our last

Because when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love

Rewind to any moment you like/Sit back Remember I will always sit back with you

Oh how cool you wished to be
we were both so nervous
But at peace at the same time
knowing this was right

The time I moved in closely
for what you weren't expecting
Think on this/but don't miss

Don't long for the past
Long for what comes next

Because when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love, no

Come away with life/Come away with love
With something better

Because when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love, no


11. SAFE

Your eyes are nothing
I looked deep, knowing I was safe
And this memory will
never be erased/never be erased

No more/You put me in my place
No more/I would have liked a call
Outside of you calling out my faults
I would have liked to settle this
once and for all/for all/once and for all

No more/Would you have me crawl
No more

And this memory/It will never fade
And this memory/It will
never fade/never fade

You can cry in this bed alone
I won't cry with you anymore

You can lay in this grave you've made
I won't lay with you anymore

And it'll never be erased/No more
Just try put me in my place/No more


12. SONG FOUR, SIDE TWO

Dreamers stop here in hopes
they'll get the chance/of a lifetime ago
But I will not wait there

Drifters stop here and think
The way they've lived life with no plans
My decision is drawing near

Please lover find me
Though the seasons break us up

Branches break here in denial
Of what they once held up
The crisp air cuts my heart

"We'll breathe it in" they say, "live the life"
And as the snow falls, you no longer see
The light of who you could be

Please lover find me
Though the seasons break us up

Please lover remind me
That at the hand of the sea
It's you and me

[piano solo]

All the flowers slowly fade
All the leaves that long to change
Even in December, I’ll still be calling out

[guitar solo]

Please lover remind me
That at the hand of the sea
It's you and me
