Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night Speak to me with your sweet voice And I will surely be alright If I can close my eyes without a fear Speak to me with your sweet voice Near Hold me in your warm hand And I could sleep with you tonight Hold me in your warm hand And I could sleep with you tonight And all my earthly cares might fade away If you hold me in your warm hand that way It's as close as I get to love As close as I get to love Speak to me with your sweet voice Again [solo] Speak to me with your sweet voice And take me through another night Speak to me with your sweet voice And I will surely be alright If I can close my eyes without a fear Speak to me with your sweet voice Near Speak to me with your sweet voice That way Speak to me with your sweet voice |

What a beautiful moment
The truth comes out at last Once your heart Would own me forever Then this passed And what a beautiful moment As my head comes apart Drunk and In a manner of saying, wasted 'Cause you don't love me You don't love me You can't see how I matter in this world Even though I loved you You can't believe that If you find something You think might make you happy Then I guess it's okay I think it's okay If you go away Blown right out of my senses I did not know what to do Lost and badly wanting someone To see me through That's why I needed you But you don't love me You don't love me You can't see how I matter in this world Even though I loved you |

I guess I live in a world you'll never get a glimpse inside of
If the thought of me selling out gets you excited Do you think everything that nobody else has thought of Do you feel everything that no one else can feel I do too Why don't you write your own song If mine doesn't do it for you You might get it all wrong Or you might create the hit You wish that I would write for you 'Cause I haven't been able to do what you need And you're right there fighting for what I find appalling Bringing me further down than I've already fallen And you tell me that I only have one chance to win And you only want to take me where I've never been I'm with you Why don't you write your own song And I won't have to hear it When you get it all wrong I'll find a way to clear it From my memory of you You just do what you have to do 'Cause I'm not listening Why don't you write your own song If mine doesn't do it for you You might get it all wrong Or you might create the hit Why don't you write your own song I'll find a way to clear it From my memory of you You just do what you have to do 'Cause I'm not listening |

When the truth gets overwhelming Then along with many others You fight If you're small enough to fit yourself Among so many millions With your own set of problems to face If it's worse to live than to let go You've got to let me know If it's worse to live than to let go You've got to let me know In my nightmare When I try so hard to find you I can't see your way or want you to be free If it's worse to live than to let go You've got to let me know If it's worse to live than to let go You've got to let me know Worse to live Worse to live If it's worse to live than to let go You've got to let me know If it's worse to live than to let go You've got to let me know... |

I tried to call you
But the line was busy Were you talking to a friend? When I tried again much later I didn't want to let it ring again So you can see I've got a problem Back by popular demand Sometimes I want to Keep it from you Sometimes I think You'll understand Could you be my Little movie star? Could you be my long lost girl? It's true that I don't really know you But I'm alone in the world [solo] When I think maybe I need you I don't care if if it's not true 'Cause it isn't so much What I need now As what I want from you Could you be my Little movie star? Could you be my long lost girl? It's true that I don't really know you But I'm alone in the world Could you be my Little movie star? Could you be my long lost girl? It's true that I don't really know you I feel alone I feel alone |

Daylight comes you lift your pretty head from your knees
In the past you always knew you could talk to me I would look to help but certain things I can't see You raise your eyes and nod your head I'd rather talk this out instead While time is ticking away (time ticks away) We lose another day We lose another day I'm the first to know when something is going wrong If we wait for night to fall it will take too long I will fight if you believe we can both be strong You raise your eyes and nod your head I'd rather talk this out instead While time is ticking away (time ticks away) We lose another day You raise your eyes and nod your head I'd rather talk this out instead While time is ticking away (time ticks away) We lose another day We lose another day We lose another day We lose another day...

Safe in the night
When people look but can not see Pale in the light That shines above onto the street I watch you walkin' on the other side And I turn my head away in shame Wishin' they'd talk in the worthless-- Quaint and reserved The house that knows you in detail Slender and curved You come down stairs to get your mail I watch you walkin' on the other side And I feel my thinking rearrange As slowly every thought will change Summer has gone October fled without a word Winter is on My conscience has remained uncured I watch you walkin' on the other side And I rush my fingers through my hair Telling myself that it is not fair I watch you walkin' on the other side And I rush my fingers through my hair Telling myself that it is not fair |

The reflection that you see Is a shell of what you were It's not who you want to be But you're gonna change You've just about made up your mind (You're gonna change) You're gonna change And when you leave it all behind What will the past remember? What will the future bring? When you walk out When you walk out You were brought into this world With a head full of good ideas But the person you became Well you just couldn't be for real But you're gonna change You've just about made up your mind (You're gonna change) You're gonna change And when you leave it all behind What will the past remember?

Sad and unfinished Don't make mine a chord That is diminished Don't make me go on long Untitled Don't let me get lost Fighting with nature Do let me grow cold Deep in a glacier Don't let me hang on long Untitled I can feel that the swirl of the wind Was made for me The curve of the earth Cuts through my dreams The sun is up for the asking If you follow it down Don't let me go on... Don't let me go wrong Steer me the right way Yes I will grow strong Darling if you say Don't let me go on long Untitled I can feel that the swirl of the wind Was made for me The curve of the earth Cuts through my dreams The sun is up for the asking If you follow it down Don't let me go on...

And I'm on my own in a thunderstorm But it's not about to turn me around Hail is under my feet And lightning is in my head Deep inside I am tired of running I don't mind if the rain is coming Walking onto the water Where I was meant to be Deep inside I am tired of running I don't mind that the rain is coming Deep inside I am tired of running I don't mind that the rain is coming down... ***** Lost my way into you And I don't know what else to do But wait for a calm in the storm Hoping it subsides And nothing is wrong when it rains Even from my eyes Broke your vision of love As I saw through the sky above And heaven was windy with change Blowing through my time And nothing is wrong when it rains Even from my eyes I wait for a calm in the storm Hoping it subsides And nothing is wrong when it rains Even from my eyes... ***** Yes I do Believe the rain And yes I do Deceive it when I can If I was running and I fell If it's subsiding I can't tell Looking at nature through a hole in the clouds As you take a final bow The earth creates A dark and stormy now But you must answer if it calls Under the sky and when it falls Looking at nature through a hole in clouds Yes I can explain Anyone's pain If It isn't mine to know Yes I feel it too No No I'm not you Is that the way you feel ***** When the first light closes the night And you feel unusually right As sun streams it all around Filling you up with desire But I love you only to find I can' |

I can't remember what I thought of you
Just a minute before I've got to take another look at who I do believe it's true I've got a split personality When I let it fly I've got a split personality And I'm bottled up most times But I don't think I'd forget you My memory is fine And I don't believe I've met you It's time I get a piece of your mind You must prepare yourself for what you'll see 'Cause it won't be long I'm going to ask you not to look at me When it all goes wrong I've got a split personality When I let it fly I've got a split personality I can't remember what I thought of you Just a minute before I've got to take another look at who I do believe it's true I've got a split personality When I let it fly I've got a split personality And I'm bottled up most times But I don't think I'd forget you My memory is fine And I don't believe I've met you It's time I'm bottled up most times But I don't think I'd forget you My memory is fine And I don't believe I've met you It's time I get a piece of your mind I get a piece of your mind |

Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead Or is it in my head? Where'd I go wrong? I'm Staring at the white above One day I closed my eyes and here I am A cold, unhappy man I've come to realize the life I have I hate The pulse I need is slowly fading Until I've lost it all I've been waiting for an inspiration For a chance I never got to take Before it's much too late Where's the boy that used to run? Could it be he's up and gone away? He seems so far away And all the things I could have done Could it be they've up and gone away? They seem so far away 'Cause It feels as if the boy in me Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter Imposter of myself I must find the one that used to be Approach him slow, don't be afraid to say "Can he come out and play?" Where's the boy that used to run? Could it be he's up and gone away? 'Cause He seems so far away And all the things I could have done Could it be they've up and gone away? 'Cause They seem so far away Now I'm Staring at the sky above I've found a chance I'm finally going to take 'Cause I've learned from my mistakes Where'd I go wrong? Where's the boy that used to run? Could it be he's up and gone away? 'Cause He seems so far away And all the things I could have done Could it be they've up and gone away? 'Cause They seem so far away Where'd I go wrong? |

There's a smog moon, in the amber sky, wavering and burning like a golden lie.
I fell so far, I didn't think I'd make it back We are all made, as an afterthought, Destined to believe that we are what we are not I'm afraid, but I don't need to tell you that There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it The cartoon trees cannot conceal it When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like There's a lost man, with a bitter soul, Only for a moment, Did life make him whole And while he was, he thought he was invincible There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it The cartoon trees cannot conceal it When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white They're not your words, but you're reciting the lines You don't mean a thing, but you exist in their minds How does it feel, when they have turned out the lights? 'Cause you know they sooner would get rid of you, than fight. And the dark night, has the strongest pull We both know that staying young, can take its toll Are you afraid of finding out you're over that There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it The cartoon trees cannot conceal it When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like |

You don't know how you move me
deconstruct me and consume me. I'm all used up, I'm out of luck I am star struck By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive. But I'm sick of myself when I look at you something is beautiful and true. World that's ugly and a lie it's hard to even want to try. I'm beginning to think maybe you don't know. I'll take a leave, the room to breathe The choice to leave it I'll throw away a chance at greatness just to make this dream come into play I don't know if I'll find a way 'Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you something is beautiful and true.

I was thinking I could wait until the work is done
But you'll only want to get back out and have some fun Sun's lighting up the sky And if it wasn't so bright I'd come undone Why can't you save time for me There isn't much but it's all that I want from you Why can't you save time for me Without these moments there isn't much we can do As victims of circumstance Avoiding our every chance We can't solve problems Save time for me I remember when you leaned on my experience And I showed you what you had to do to make some sense But time moves fast And it doesn't last For everyone Why can't you save time for me There isn't much, but it's all that I want from you Why can't you save time for me Without these moments there isn't much we can do As victims of circumstance Avoiding our every chance We can't solve problems Save time for me As victims of circumstance Avoiding our every chance We can't solve problems Why can't you save time for me There isn't much but it's all that I want from you Why can't you save time for me Without these moments there isn't much we can do Why can't you save time for me (repeat) {fade} |

Youre reaching out. Beaten by a child You dont even know when, But now you can never be free from what was done. You cant even hate them. Youll find something big enough to see. Youre reaching out (reaching out). Reaching out (reaching out). Reaching out. And if I cant know you All my dreams are through. Every waking hour is filled with lead. Im dead.

You're over it.
You're not angry anymore Because you're over it. No big deal unless you make it one. You don't even have to fake it now. You're over it. You're over it. And in a way you should never have to feel You didn't get your say. If you're looking all around you And there's nothing that's profound You know you're over it I won't ask you what you think of me 'Cause I'm exactly what I want to be Not like me. You're over it. (Solo) I won't ask you what you think of me 'Cause I'm exactly what I want to be Not like me. You're over it. You're not angry anymore Because you're over it. You can go back to being normal 'Cause I guess this makes it formal now. You're over it. You're over it. You're over it now. |

Or make it up If tow could realize the best of luck If I could locate A god above And you only wanted to be loved Then I'd try to hang on to the past But you know that nothing Oh no nothing lasts Nothing lasts It's time to move on Let the past go I've waited for you here But you never showed Although I asked you To let me know I only felt a cold wind blow While I tried to hang on to the past But you know that nothing Oh no nothing lasts Nothing's in your way Now you can stand right up and run Woudln't even change things If you took back what you'd done I have tried to hang on to the past But I couldn't keep my grasp 'Cause nothing lasts Nothing lasts Nothing lasts |

Well you can make your way through living and loving
Looking good from where I sit But with your great big eyes you see what is coming And you're not a part of it Millennium Blues Lived half in one and half in the other They say it's not you anymore Part of me wants to stay in the middle But I know it's old news now And how far forward will I have to travel To stay ahead of you Millennium Blues Lived half in one and half in the other It's not about you anymore I'm finally up to speed I'm in over my head And I'm not looking back Millenium Blues Lived half in one and half in the other They say it's not you anymore Part of me wants to stay in the middle Part of me wants to lose control Millennium Blues Lived half in one and half in the other Millennium Blues You'll never get the chance to recover They say it's not you anymore It's not about you anymore It's not about you anymore They say it's not you anymore ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SWEET, MATTHEW <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

You would never turn around
You're laughing at everything that's bringing me down Did you say you loved me? I almost forgot, I almost forgot That I will never be free There'll always be something Stuck inside of me Did you say you felt that? I almost forgot, I almost forgot I almost forgot, I almost forgot I almost forgot, I almost forgot You knew me Changed my name If love leaves us for a moment Is it gone forever? Make up your mind But then you should never have to choose Whenever you win, you know I'm wishing you'd lose So you know I love you I almost forgot, I almost forgot I almost forgot, I almost forgot I almost forgot, I almost forgot |

I've spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives But I do not want a war I don't know what's going on In the scenes behind I worry about it some of the time And I hope there's not a war 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand And I would walk across highways To find my fate If that might settle your crude debate But I do not want a war 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand Feeding the promised land With your blood by my own hand At allah's own command At allah's own command I came up from the desert and here I will die Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye Though I didn't want a war I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand Oh yeah |

Capture
The spirit of adversity. Be sure to put the lid on tight And watch it carefully. Sew shut The mouth of the river slut, The entrance of a place discussed But hardly there for you. Hollow: An evil bigger than you could know Has taken root. Rapture: So what do you care? You know if it was up to me I'd take you anywhere. Hollow: An evil bigger than you could know, An evil bigger than you could know, An evil bigger than you could know, Has taken root. (Solo) Hollow: An evil bigger than you could know, An evil bigger than you could know, An evil bigger than you could know, Has taken root. |

As long as we don't sit in silence I don't want to see the whole thing wasted As long as we have time to be...half asleep Half asleep I don't wanna sit in silence I don't wannt see the whole thing wasted As long as we have time to be...half asleep Half asleep |

And you would rather disappear than cross the line And Im only waiting for you cause I cant decide If youre only saying one thing With something else inside From the start there is a coldness in my eye Until the moment that I speak you wont know why But you never ask the question You just close the door And you never get the answer I was waiting for Maybe thats someplace time wont take you Looking around I could replace you Wanting for something you have never had But you never ask the question You just close the door And you never get the answer I was waiting for Maybe thats someplace time wont take you Looking around I could replace you Wanting for something you have never had Youve never had Youve never had Youve never had |

Well, it's hard to take it When you know what happens each time The devil with the green eyes Said you were never meant to be mine 'Cause I came up from a dark world And every love I've ever know is dead If you come close enough to see I am inhuman I will tell you why you're feeling so uncertain Every word I say has a way of turning evil in you And your heart is breaking. What are you gonna do now That you're tired of faking it? Well, it's hard to take it When you know what happens each time The devil with the green eyes Said you were never meant to be mine 'Cause I came up from a dark world And every love I've ever know is dead And your heart is breaking What are you gonna do now That you're tired of faking it? Well, it's hard to take it When you know what happens each time The devil with the green eyes Said you were never meant to be mine 'Cause I came up from a dark world And every love I've ever known Every love I've ever known Every love I've ever know is dead |
