Post by Booklover »

The walls between you and I
Always pushing us apart
Nothing left but scars fight after fight
The space between our calm and rage
Started growing shorter,
Disappearing slowly day after day

I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder

The older I get
Will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I'll get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this

The time between those cutting words
Built up our defenses
Never made no sense it just made me hurt
Do you believe that time heals all wounds?
It started getting better
But it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you

I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder

The older I get
Will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I'll get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this

What was I waiting for
I should've taken less and given you more
I should've weathered the storm
I need to say so bad
What were you waiting for
This could have been the best we've ever had

The older I get
Will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I'll get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this
Hurts like this

I'm just getting older
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to
I wish it didn't hurt like this
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this


and
You come to me with your scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be

Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me

The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight, tonight

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be

I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me

I lose my mind
Give me a SSSIIIIGGGGGNNN!!!!

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

(double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag
One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime poop of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing
You can’t write if you can’t relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
who's chokin’ on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(drive-by body-pierce)
(yo bring it on down)
Soooooooyy....

?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ,ybab resol a m'I rodedrep nu yoS
[You can hear hear it if you reverse it.]

(I’m a driver, I’m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(I can’t believe you)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch hier, Baby!)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

I've got nowhere to turn,
I've got nowhere to hide,
And I've got no alibi,

You've been following me,
You know my history,
And no matter how hard I try,

I can't explain away
The way I feel today
There's only one thing I can say:

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

There was so many days,
Trying to figure out ways,
To explain what I feel inside,

I tried to fill up my soul without loosing control,
This desire never did subside,

[ You Found Me lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
I'm ready to give in
I know I'll never win
The hide and seek that I've been in

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

In the pit of despair, I was all alone there.
I wasn't looking for You, but You found me anyway.
You put Your hand on my face, then you changed my ways.
Nothing can separate me from...

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

[Chorus:]
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark

You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire


&&
Look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice
Tell all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice,
It was never my choce to feel all alone
This is my home
Back up, you don't know if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears
It takes everything I am

If you come near me, stop, look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice tell all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed
Back up and let go if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears,
It takes everything I am

I come crashing to the floor
And I know there must be more like me
I've seen this all before, I can't carry this anymore, break free
Breathe, and leave until the storm is over
'Cause underneath, there's a diamond passing over
So breathe, let's leave until the storm is over,
Because I want to take you away

The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls wrote:Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
Its goodbye
But we got one more night
*slight inappropriate prt* and we'll drive around
And make peace with this empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
Its so good to be by your side
And well cry
But we wont give up the fight
Well scream loud at the top of our lungs
Theyll think its just cause were young
Well feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that well never find
They dont mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

AND OF COURSE...
happiness by The Fray wrote:Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can’t make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness darn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that’s probably enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you’ll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home
Home, home, home

SCC "Miracle of the Moment"
It’s time for letting go
All of our if only’s
‘Cause we don’t have a time machine
And even if we did
Would we really want to use it?
Would we really want to go change everything?
‘Cause we are who and where and what we are for now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

Chorus:
So breathe it in and breathe it out
Listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
And I don’t want you to miss
The miracle of the moment

There’s only one who knows
What’s really out there waiting
In all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He’s out there waiting
To Him the future’s history
And He has given us a treasure called right now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about
And if it brings you tears

Then taste them as they fall
And let them soften your heart
And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go, let it go
You gotta let it go
Listen to your heartbeat

Casting Crowns wrote:Who am I

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning stars
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am Yours

Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again.
Who am i? That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
and calm the sorm in me

Not because of who I am,
but because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done,
but because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am Yours

Kelly Clarkson- Because of You wrote:I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same d*mn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you
Weird Al-Fat wrote:Your butt is wide, well mine is too
Just watch your mouth or Ill sit on you
The word is out, better treat me right
cause Im the king of cellulite
Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right

My zippers bust, my buckles break
Im too much man for you to take
The pavement cracks when I fall down
Ive got more chins than chinatown

Well, Ive never used a phone booth
And Ive never seen my toes
When Im goin to the movies
I take up seven rows

Because Im fat, Im fat, come on
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know Im fat, Im fat, you know it
(fat, fat, really really fat)
You know Im fat, Im fat, come on you know
(fat, fat, really really fat)
Dontcha call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again whos fat

When I walk out to get my mail
It measures on the richter scale
Down at the beach Im a lucky man
Im the only one who gets a tan
If I have one more pie a la mode
Im gonna need my own zip code

When youre only having seconds
Im having twenty-thirds
When I go to get my shoes shined
I gotta take their word

Because Im fat, Im fat, sha mone

You know Im fat, Im fat, you know it

You know Im fat, Im fat, you know it you know
(fat, fat, really really fat)
And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds
Lemme tell you once again whos fat

If you see me comin your way
Better give me plenty space
If I tell you that Im hungry
Then wont you feed my face

One Thing I Know by Selah
Something in your eyes I see reminds me of what used to be
When I was still uncertain of the truth
Sleepless nights that turned to days, alone inside an endless maze
And counting on someone to see me through

And if there's one thing I know you are never left alone
Cause you can always call on Jesus' name
And if there's one thing I pray it's Jesus helps you find a way
To make a change and listen to your heart
God will take away your pain if you choose to let it go
If there's one thing I know

How can I convince your heart that His light can find you in the dark
And only He can make your blind eyes see
For if we speak of lost things found, or lives that have been turned around
Then tell me who knows better, child, than me

And if there's one thing I know you are never left alone
Cause you can always call on Jesus' name
And if there's one thing I pray it's Jesus helps you find a way
To make a change and listen to your heart
God will take away your pain if you choose to let it go
If there's one thing I know

I would never stake my life on any lesser thing
Than the cross of Christ where He gave His life to ease my suffering

And if there's one thing I know you are never left alone
Cause you can always call on Jesus' name
And if there's one thing I pray it's Jesus helps you find a way
To make a change and listen to your heart
God will take away your pain if you choose to let it go
If there's one thing I know

I'm Not Cool by Scott Krippayne
Some people tell me that I look kind of funny
My nose is red and the braces didn't work at all
They say the clothes I wear are all out of fashion
I don't fit in and I should be shopping at a different mall

I studied classical piano
When I could've been playing guitar
I used to drive an El Camino
And I'm not even sure it's a car

I'm not cool and that's okay my God loves me anyway
I'm not cool and that's all right I'm still precious in His sight
I'm not cool and I don't care how I'm supposed to do my hair
I'm not cool and that's okay my God loves me anyway

It doesn't matter if I know all the lingo
It doesn't matter if I'm not hanging with a certain crowd
Some people still believe in building an image
But I am finding that's a worry I can do without

I used to wish I was athletic
But football was never my game
I made some friends in mathematics
But no one could spell my last name

I'm not cool and that's okay my God loves me anyway
I'm not cool and that's all right I'm still precious in His sight
I'm not cool and I don't care how I'm supposed to do my hair
I'm not cool and that's okay my God loves me anyway

He says I am one of a kind
And I don't have to try to be somebody else
He believes in me and says I'm free to be myself
I can be myself

I'm not cool and that's okay my God loves me anyway
I'm not cool and that's all right I'm still precious in His sight
I'm not cool and I don't care how I'm supposed to do my hair
I'm not cool and that's okay my God loves me anyway
Smell the Color Nine by Chris Rice
I would take no for an answer just to know I heard You speak
And I'm wondering why I've never seen the signs they claim they see
Are all the special revelations meant for everybody but me
Maybe I don't truly know You or maybe I just need to believe

Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to smell the color nine
Smell the color nine

Now I've never felt the presence, but I know You're always near
And I've never heard the calling, but somehow You've led me right here
So I'm looking for burning bushes or some divine graffiti to appear
I'm just begging You for Your wisdom, and I believe You're putting some here

Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to smell the color nine
Smell the color nine

Well I can sniff, I can see, and I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to smell the color nine
Smell the color nine

Nine's not a color
And even if it were, you can't smell a color, no
That's my point exactly
God promises a safe landing, not smooth passage.

Love Addict (Family Force 5) :- :-
Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it

Doctor, Doctor, I've got an emergency
It seems I'm head over heels, a case of L-O-V-E
It's like I'm glowing inside
Yeah, a light I can't hide
And if this feeling is bad then I don't wanna be right
What I've got in my soul gives me the highest delight
Oh yeah it's better than drugs
In fact it's sent from above, huh huh

Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it

Hey, Can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I 'm what they call a
Love addict, Love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, G'on shout about it
Hey, I'm a symptomatic
Love addict, Love addict

Need a refill cause I just can't get enough
I've got a fever, oh yeah, and the prescription's love
So lay the truth on me
Cause that is all that I need

Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it

Hey, Can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I 'm what they call a
Love addict, Love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, G'on shout about it
Hey, I'm a symptomatic
Love addict, Love addict

I'm blessed, I must confess
My heart is pounding in my chest
Cause this love's the best
I'm just a love addict

Coming down with something outrageous
Lookout now cause it so contagious
This feeling's got me reeling
So amped up that I hit the ceiling
Gotta clear my throat
Huh huh, now I gotta have some more

Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it

[Chorus x2]

"Somewhere Only We Know"

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

One of my favorite Christmas songs. \:D/

Thou Who Wast Rich
Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour,
All for love's sake becamest poor;
Thrones for a manger didst surrender,
Sapphire-paved courts for stable floor.
Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour,
All for love's sake becamest poor.


Thou who art God beyond all praising,
All for love's sake becamest man;
Stooping so low, but sinners raising
Heavenwards by thine eternal plan.
Thou who art God beyond all praising,
All for love's sake becamest man.


Thou who art love beyond all telling,
Saviour and King, we worship thee.
Emmanuel, within us dwelling,
Make us what thou wouldst have us be.
Thou who art love beyond all telling,
Saviour and King, we worship thee.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

Favorite lyrics? Wow...I have way too many....

Here's a song for now that I thought of:
Jason Gray wrote:The Dance
words & music by Jason Gray & Tim Helmen * September 1998/June 2000

I still remember the day you first walked in the room
A hush swelled as the band struck up a tune
It took only a look for the spell to be cast
And I fell on my knee and I asked you to dance

Our steps were tentative and measured at first
Like a word in the dark or a song unrehearsed
But we thrilled to the rhythm and in very little time
We were lost in the song and the dance of our lives

Sometimes we stumbled, sometimes missed a beat
And had to slow down to untangle our feet
But the music was strong and it moved us along
We knew that our meeting was much more than chance
For such is the beauty and the charm of the dance


Now dancing’s a custom with decorum and rules
Though some carry on and act like drunken fools
And tried as we might to parry their woes
There were times when we stepped on each others toes

And sometimes the dance seemed to go a bit long
When we both tired of hearing the same old song
It was then we did a turn in the dance of sorrow
Where both try to lead because neither will follow

Sometimes we tired of being ourselves
And wished that we could dance with someone else
Frayed and footsore, wishing to leave the floor
But to equal the charge of love’s demands
This is the art and the call of the dance


No book can prepare and no practice can spare
The duty the dance will require
But no song can do justice nor poem speak thus of
The requital of the dancers desire


And though my love we have danced for a while
And our shoes have shuffled over many a mile
Though we’ve borne every scuff and every dip in the floor
The music rings clearer than ever before

I can feel you tremble as I draw you near
And lean in to whisper, my love, in your ear
With God as my witness and the Same by my side
I’ll dance with you darling til the day that I die

When dancing is done at the end of the day
We find the prize in the price that together we paid
So let the music be strong that moves us along
More than sentiment, much more than romance
These are the steps and reward of the dance
Oh bless’d be the ties and the ways of the dance

"Fix You" by Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Anything- Mae

Lyrics:
Love,
It's the wave I ride,
that won't ever reach the shore.
Overwhelmed by the tide
and wanting nothing more, tonight.
Than to take this time
and make it all mine.
It's coming around again.
every now and again sometimes,
I get lost on the wind of a dream.
The air gets clean and the seas get wide.
And I can do anything.
The pain it won't even cross my mind.
There is wonder in everything.
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind.
And I can do anything.

Hope,
It's the light that strikes,
that burns inside of me.
It's a blinding light,
but somehow I can see, again.
When I've lost my way.
It's becoming very clear.
And it's coming around again.
Every now and again sometime,
I get lost on the wind of a dream.
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
and I can do anything.
The pain it won't even cross my mind.
There is wonder in everything.
The rope gets loose, and the chains unbind.
And I can do anything.
Somewhere between the darkest and the light.
My spirit takes to fly.
The colors fill the sky,
and I am free, oh ohh.
It's coming around again.
It's coming around again.
It's coming around again.
Every now and again sometime,
I get lost on the wind of a dream.
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
and I can do anything.
The pain it won't even cross my mind.
There is wonder in everything.
The rope gets loose, the chains unbind.
And I can do anything.
Every now and again sometime,
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The rope gets loose, the chains unbind.
And I can do anything.


And The Unwinding Cable Car- Anberlin

Emotive unstable
You're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices but it’s the choices
That make us who we are
Go your own way
Even seasons have change
Just burn those new leaves over
So self absorbed you've seem to ignore
The prayers that have already come about
This is the correlation
Of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
Backing away from the problem of pain
You never had a home
You've been misguided
Your hiding in shadows
For so very long
Don't you believe?
That you've been deceived
That you’re no better than
The hair in your eyes
It never disguised
What you’re really thinking of
This is the correlation
Of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
You’re so brilliant
Don't soon forget
You’re so brilliant
Grace marked your heart
This is the correlation
Between salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you
In and out of the dark
Don't drop your arms
This is the correlation
Of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in

Piece of Me By Brittney Spears wrote: I’m Miss bad media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can’t see no harm
In working and being a mama
And with a kid on my arm
I’m still an exceptional earner
And you want a piece of me
For the Nights I Cant Remeber by Hedley wrote: I see it in the way you would do
When no one else could ever get through
Holding back till I come around
Time and time again you wait for me to comin’
And did you really look my way?
Cause no one could've seen this coming
I would never let you down
If I was running backwards in full time

[Bridge:]
So I can and I will and you’ll see your hero come running
Over and over tonight

[Chorus:]
And I do wanna love you
If you see me running back
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I’m going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

[Verse 2:]
Me, I’m used to being tired and bloody
But you believed that I could be somebody
You put your world on hold for me
Gave away to follow failure through the fire
I need you to know I will
Believe me girl I’m so tired of running
I just wanna hold your hand
Stare at you like you’ve got everything I need

[Bridge:]
And I can so I will and you’ll see your hero come running
Over and over tonight

[Chorus:]
And I do wanna love you
If you see me running back
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I’m going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

[Verse 3:]
And what if I never said to you I was dynamite
And what if I never told you I’m afraid to cry
What if I never let you down
And said I’m sorry for the nights I can’t remember
What if I never said to you I would try

Yeah Yeah Yeah

[Chorus:]
And I do wanna love you
(If you see me running back)
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I’m going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

[Repeat Chorus]

Hold back your tears this time

Oh Oh
