Come on, come out The weather is warm Come on, come out Said come on, come on
A spot in the shade Where oranges fall A spot in the shade Away from it all
Watching the sky Watching a painting coming to life Shaping and shifting Staying inside It all goes it all goes by
A blanket unfolds A blanket tonight The pieces of gold They light up your eyes Now we're alone Now we're alive
Watching the sky Watching the painting come to life Shifting and shaping Staying inside It all goes it all goes it all goes by
Stopping the time Rushing, waiting Leave it behind Shifting and shaping Keep it inside It all goes it all goes it all goes by It all goes passing by It all goes passing by
One, two, three Counting out the signs we see The tall buildings Fading in the distance Only dots on a map Four, five, six The two of us a perfect fit You're all mine, all mine
And all I can say Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree Hiding out behind the leaves I was difficult to reach But you picked me Like a shell upon a beach Just another pretty piece I was difficult to see But you picked me Yeah you picked me
So softly Rain against the windows And the strong coffee Warming up my fingers In this fisherman's house You got me Searched the sand And climbed the tree And brought me back down
And all I can say Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree Hiding out behind the leaves I was difficult to reach But you picked me Like a shell upon a beach Just another pretty piece I was difficult to see But you picked me Yeah you picked me
Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trip
Well, I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left, you kissed my lips You told me you would never, ever forget These images
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that Easy to walk right in and out Of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
It's one hundred and nine degrees in this crowded room No room to breathe with walls as cold as a gallery This is no place for me Such hard faces in smoke The smell lingers in my clothes It's a bad night to be alone But that's the way it goes
And I think of you whenever life gets me down I think of you whenever you're not around And you rest your bones Somewhere far from my house Yeah, but you still pull me home
I thought I had it figured out in a brand new life With a great big house And green initials on the towels I should be happy now Well, you got yourself a family And you planted roots down by the sea I saw you once on the street You didn't notice me
But I think of you whenever life gets me down I think of you whenever you're not around You rest your bones Somewhere far from my house Yeah, but you still pull me home
Just to put your mind at ease You don't owe me anything You paid me well in memories
And I think of you whenever life gets me down I think of you whenever you're not around And you rest your bones Somewhere far from my house Yeah, but you still pull me home You still pull me home You still pull me home
Don't know what to do anymore I've lost the only love worth fighting for I'll drown in my tear storming sea That would show you, that would make you hurt like me All the same I don't want mudslinging games It's such a shame to let you walk away
Is there a chance? A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel? A reason to fight? Is there a chance you may change your mind? Or are we ashes and wine?
Don't know if our fate's already sealed This day's spinning surface on a wheel I'm ill with the thought of your kiss Coffee laced intoxicating on her lips Shut it out I've got no claim on you now Not allowed to wear your freedom down
Is there a chance? A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel? A reason to fight? Is there a chance you may chance your mind? Or are we ashes and wine?
I'll tear myself away If that is what you need There is nothing left to say
But Is there a chance? A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel? A reason to fight? Is there a chance you may change your mind? Or are we ashes and wine?
Liar, liar you're such a great big liar with the tallest tales that i have ever heard Fire, fire you set my soul on fire laughing in the corner as it burns right between the ribs is sinking in
Oh, the sirens sing so sweet and watched the sailors go down Oh, oh, you talk to me in siren song Yeah, anyone would drown
Sick and tired of this mad desire fluttering aside me like a hawk
Wire, wire Got my hands on wires Will heaven help you when I get them out?
Right between the ribs You'll feel it then
The sirens song so sweet and watched the sailors go down Oh, oh, you talk to me in siren song
Oh oh the siren song so sweet and watched the sailors go down Oh oh oh you talk to me in siren song Yeah, anyone would drown
something’s causing feet to fly, rising like a dark knight in silence traffic’s slow with broken boats heading for the sea and I’m an island
I watched you disappear into the clouds swept away into another town
the world carries on without you but nothing remains the same I’ll be lost without you until the last of days
the sun is in the east, rising for the beasts and the beauties if only I could tear it down, plant it in the ground to warm your face
I built myself a castle on the beach watching as it slid into the sea
the world carries on without you but nothing remains the same I’ll be lost without you until the last of days until the last of days
through wars and harvest moons I will wait for you. the world carries on without you but nothing remains the same I’ll be lost without you until the last of days until the last of days
We stood so tall we caught a plane by the wing and held it Until we found it a place to land We layed across the ocean wide Bridged the gap in record time The people traveled across and kissed our hands
All for love we become
Larger than lifesize, wondersome Great in the eyes of someone Larger than lifesize we become Great in the eyes of someone
We smiled so bright the sun went down Rose above the maddening crowd We lit the streets with the sweetest glow We held the globe and made it turn Wandered through the universe The men of science observed through telescopes
All for love, we become
Larger than lifesize, wondersome Great in the eyes of someone Larger than lifesize we become, Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become Larger than lifesize we become Great in the eyes of someone
Stitch in your knitted brow And you don't know how You're gonna get it out Crushed under heavy chest Trying to catch your breath But it always beats you by a step, all right now
Making the best of it Playing the hand you get You're not alone in this
There's hope for the hopeless There's hope for the hopeless There's hope
Cold in a summer breeze Yeah, you're shivering On your bended knee Still, when you're heart is sore And the heavens pour Like a willow bending with the storm, you'll make it
Running against the wind Playing the cards you get Something is bound to give
There's hope for the hopeless There's hope for the hopeless There's hope There's hope There's hope
