Old doubt and a girl by your side She's feeding your pride As you go for a ride Down the star mile Worlds rise as she lets you come in A duo begins To the Hollywood din Of the lonely
And all the gold dust in her eyes Won't reform into a ring You had and lost The one thing You kept in a safe place Remember the face The girl who had made you her own And how you left her alone
All's well at the base of the hill You might need to fill A prescription to kill Off the sirens Look down from your tower on high And take in the night Look her right in the eye She'll listen
And all the gold dust in her eyes Won't reform into a ring You had and lost The one thing You kept in a safe place Remember the face The girl who had made you her own And how you left her alone
Life comes to those that'll choose The regular news Over playing the blues With the light on
And if you burn the road that'll lead you Back to her in time I'll watch you turn to stone Can't find the sublime She's moving on Without you The tide breaks You watch the stars fake They gather you back to their home I guess it's better than being alone
So we're alone again I wish it were over We seem to never end Only get closer To the point where I can take no more
The clouds in your eyes Down your face they pour Won't you be the new one? Burn to shine I take the blue ones every time Walk me down your broken line All you have to do is cry Yes, all you have to do is cry
Hush, my baby, now Your talking is just noise and won't lay me down Amongst your toys in a room where I can take no more
The clouds in your eyes Down your face they pour Won't you be the new one? Burn to shine I take the blue ones every time Walk me down your broken line All you have to do is cry Yes all you have to do is cry
Photographs and brightly colored paper Are your mask you wear in this caper That is our life We walk right into the strife And a tear from your eye brings me home
Won't you be the new one? Burn to shine I take the blue ones every time Walk me down your broken line All you have to do is cry
I should know who I am by now I walk, the record stands somehow Thinking of winter Your name is the splinter inside me while I wait
I remember the sound Of your November downtown And I remember the truth A warm December with you But I don't have to make this mistake And I don't have to stay this way If only I would wait
The walk has all been cleared by now Your voice is all I hear somehow Calling out winter Your voice is the splinter inside me while I wait
I remember the sound Of your November downtown And I remember the truth A warm December with you But I don't have to make this mistake And I don't have to stay this way If only I would wait
I could have lost myself In rough blue waters in your eyes And I miss you still
I remember the sound Of your November downtown And I remember the truth A warm December with you But I don't have to make this mistake And I don't have to stay this way If only I would wait
Somehow I'm leading someone else's life I cut a star down with my knife
And right now I still see the way the moon Plays this tune Though our nights died
My hands shake, my knees quake It's every day, the same way 'Cause then came you, then there's you I keep your picture in my worn through shoes Then there's you then came you. When I'm lost I look at my picture of you
And somehow I'll make tonight our own I'll show you every way I've grown Since I met you
And right now I'll be the boy in your next song I'll learn the parts and play along If you let me
My hands shake, my knees quake It's every day, the same way 'Cause then came you, then there's you I keep your picture in my worn through shoes Then there's you then came you When I'm lost I look at my picture of you
If you let me, I'll show the world to you Yes if you let me, I'll know just what to do
'Cause then came you, then there's you I keep your picture in my worn through shoes
You asked me to write a tune All about the things that go wrong And then you asked me to come home soon To the place where I belong
But you stand on the other side Of the line in this place And you can't see me, you are blind And this you can't fake No this you can't fake
And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be I scream that I wanna be anyone but me
And I don't know if I can write about Chosen walls and the things you feel And I don't know if I can sing aloud Closing doors showing you what's real
But I know when I close my eyes Late at night there's only one thing The night's shown that she can lie It's your fight, show me something Can you show me something?
And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be I scream that I wanna be anyone but me
What do you want me to say All I know is love, it's okay I'll write what I know And you do the same Tell me I'm sane
But sometimes, sometimes I wanna be I scream that I wanna be anyone but me
I can't get to bed But I'm really tired The things in my head You used to admire In your sundrenched world It couldn't be worse Don't bother asking Here comes the nerves While I'm trying to bask In your sundrenched world
I'm talking to you But you're not listening I don't know what to do My heart is blistering Writing this song Tell me I'm not wrong
I close up my mouth When you're around now Suffocating in doubt I can't make a sound In your sundrenched world I always wanted to be The one you looked to For the answers in me I'm the one who took you To your sundrenched world
I'm talking to you But you're not listening I don't know what to do My heart is blistering Writing this song Tell me I belong
It's all been said Once before We fucked around On your bedroom floor
I'm talking to you But you're not listening I don't know what to do My hands are blistering Writing this song Tell me I belong
