He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side Stood at the table where she sat And removed his hat In respect of her presence Presents her with the pictures and says "These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you. These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you" Opened up his little heart Unlocked the lock that kept it dark And read a written warning Saying I'm still mourning Over ghosts Over ghosts Over ghosts Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you [Chorus] Lover, please do not Fall to your knees It's not Like I believe in Everlasting love He went crazy at nineteen Said he'd lost all his self esteem And couldn't understand why he was cry, cry, crying, crying. He would stare at empty chairs Think of the ghosts that once sat there The ghosts who broke his heart. All the ghosts that broke my heart The ghosts that broke his heart All the ghosts that broke my heart The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, The ghosts, the ghosts The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you [Chorus] He says "I'm so lost, Not at all well" Do as though there is nothing left to be Turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me Do as though after it was over We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders And I said [Chorus: x2] |

He chased me through the rain
Honey, I'm going your way, I don't think so You can chase me through the rain And scream my name, a childish game But I love to be young And honey, I was never gonna change And honey, you are never gonna change But you love, don't you love it that way Old stone Ten thousand years and you're still on your own Don't you love Don't you love me that way And if you swear that you're alright I'm not gonna try and change your mind 'Cause the same night I dream that I lose you I'll fall in love Oh honey, don't let me walk away from this If I'm trying to fuck up my own life Then until I figure out why I think it's best you keep your distance Lest I fall in love Old stone Ten thousand years and you're still on your own Don't you love Don't you love me that way He chased me through the rain Honey, I'm going your way, I don't think so You can chase me through the rain And scream my name, a childish game But I love to be young |

He taps at my window
Willing that I let him in I don't think I will though My heart's taken, I won't tell him again. Maybe I'll write him a story And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms. Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again. And until you calm me down Race around this town Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny. I will not have him treat me this way. And Mother, I blame you. Therein trying to be you again For I have become you, And I know every part of the game And Father, I love you But how can you watch as I push her away? I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way. Maybe I'll write them a story And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms. Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall un-awake again. And until you calm me down I race around this town Until you calm me down I race around this town Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny I will not have them treat me this way. So tap at my window, Maybe I might let you in. I don't think I will though, My heart's taken, I won't tell you again |

He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band
He would write the songs and I'd tremble at his hand but oh la la He lost my word to get the girl And his songs were pathetic And hes a failure now He used to be the life and soul of everyone around You'd never catch him looking up I'd never see him down But oh la la He couldn't raise a smile No not for a while And he's a failure now. Don't cry child You've got so much more to live for Don't cry child You've got something I would die for And if it comes to the rain Just be glad you'll smile again Because so many don't and so many go unnamed People push right pass me shouting their disclaims A preacher pushes me a side and asks to wash my sins I said no la la If he made me in his image then he's a failure too. I used to need a couple people keep my head down Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground. But oh la la I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I'm a failure now. Don't cry child You've got so much more to live for Don't cry child You've got something I would die for And if it comes to the rain just be glad you'll smile again Because so many don't and so many go un named |

Look down on the body that you have grown
Mountains stand around you they're not your own. When white squares and bodies are all you see Since you broke down Since I broke down Since we broke down [Chorus] Now I jump into your grave and die Now my word you'll give up your whole life for me And you'll be reborn bigger and stronger and less alive Cross your fingers hold your toes We're all gonna die when the building blows Cross your fingers hold your toes We're all gonna die when the building blows And the house you were born in Is crumbling at the corners Sagging skin and feet of crows Feet of crows [Chorus] |

Oh you crawled out of the sea,
Straight into my arms, straight into my arms. Oh you crawled out of the sea, Straight into my arms, straight into my arms. Oh you crawled out of the sea, Straight into my arms, straight into my arms. Oh you crawled out of the sea, Straight into my arms, straight into my arms. |

I woke up and he was screaming, I'd left him dreaming
I roll over and shake him tightly and whisper If they want you, oh, they're gonna have to fight me Oh, fight me I woke up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green Oh, a candle at my chest and a hand on his knee I got up it was dark, there's no one in the park at this hour How do I keep finding myself here? Oh, fight me If I look back and he is screaming, I'd left him dreaming The dangers fade And I'll run back and shake him tightly and scream If they want him, oh, they're gonna have to fight me Oh, fight me But if I wake up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green Oh, a candle at my chest and a hand on his knee I'll roll over and hold him tightly and scream If you want him, oh, you're gonna have to fight me Oh, fight me Don't fight me |

You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy.
You sat alone, under bellowing sky. If I feel God judging me, I fell into the water, And now I'm free. My friends they don't really get me, think I'm the only one. Well I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun. Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace, Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. The wind and I we speak the same but he don't hear so well, If you gonna have to curse him well you're gonna have to yell. And the sky and I we've had our fights but I'm coming round to rain, If the rain come out and I don't go out I don't ever have to speak again. I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door, Leaving his lady alone thinking, 'He don't love me no more.' He's done with all his bullshit, he's going back to war, If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away, Another second lost with every fallen grain. You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy. You sat alone, under bellowing sky. If I feel God judging me, I fell into the water, And now I'm free. |

I have traveled past your window many times
I find your face too hard to define I can touch you, hollow thing, you plague my mind I can never go outside I will never go back to being blind I have wondered what you're doing Everyday since last I asked Are your cheeks hollow? I don't like your eyes dark I need shine, I need shine, I need shine Step away from my light, I need shine I am honest, no, not a shouter I am reformed, reborn, and forgiven And you've been busy but you've missed me And I've plagued your mind You will never go outside You will never go back to being blind I need shine, I need shine, I need shine Step away from my light, I need shine I need shine, I need shine, I need shine Step away from my light, I need shine |
