I’ve been bad, you’ve been worse
Trouble is, I know what its worth
Lets live like girls and boys
Imagining what it could be like
I was tough, you were mean
I don’t know why, you bother with me
Do I, make you laugh?
I’m always giving everything
I can be grateful, but not yet
I need you to hurt, but not yet
I want you leave, but not yet
I ask you to forget
I’ll stay, if you ask me
I’ll stay if you’ll have me
I’ll stay, I’ll stay
I’ll stay, but not yet

I take you everywhere, buried in blue
What, what a wreck
Places that we’ve been, have crumbled to the ocean
I dream of waves like buildings that take us down
I tell you everything and wish you luck
Don’t regret know
Things that we’ve seen, are the imagined between you and me
I’m reading water so why don’t you, what don’t you come right in?
This is not the dream
This is not the dream
Oh This is not the dream
This is not the dream
This is not the dream
This is not the dream
I hate to tell you so
I see you from below wrapped in light
I wait so patiently
Hanging up above, I reach for as I’m dragged out to sea
Oh I wish you were with me
This is not the dream
This is not the dream
Oh this is not the dream
This is not the dream
This is not the dream
This is not the dream
I hate to tell you so

In the distance, futures grow
New lines trace thee empty place
Knowing how luck can
Turn the wheel to watch you spin
It doesn’t hurt any less
If you slow down for the crash ahead
She couldn’t wait, to grow old
The prettiest thing, I’ve ever known
But I was too young to grow old
I was too weak to let her go

I can go out, I can watch
Stand and sway drown in company
They say this is the place where you find
All things you should want
All the things you should envy
I feel like,
I’m ready, I’m ready
I’ll leave a shameful part of me
I was lost, I’ll go home
Pick you up, lose control
I know where I found
All the things I accept
All the things I can give
Take me
Take me, I’m ready
I’ve I got someplace where I’m free.

Always

Time goes, so hold on
All this now, will be memory
People without names
Kept for a time so say goodbye
It’s easy to forget
So we do, repeat our lies
Never say what we mean
Inside tomorrow we hide
All gone, we’re the
Only ones left behind
We leave everything
Even ourselves behind
Always, always you (x4)

Where are you?
You lost me now
Clever but you haven’t tried
I saw you
Falling
Panicked inside, you're paralyzed
You’ve got the words
So show me
Let me know, when we start to bleed.
Before you go
Go ahead, go ahead
I’ll hold my breath
What’s left, what left
I’ll clasp my hands
When it turns to sand
Before you go
Go ahead, go ahead

I can’t escape, don’t leave me
Still lIfe, receding
The rumors are in reach
The skies are stained in bleach
Unquiet in the streets
A desert, concealed in concrete
The walls, the walls, the walls
Are suffocating beneath the paint, beneath the paint
The sound , the sound, the sounds
Is contemplating against constraint, against constraint
I must confess, I must confess
Hush, hush, you silly mess
I think it’s getting close to the end
Just yourself to spend
Sitting waiting, no one’s calling, counting maybes, maybe
The walls, the walls, the walls
Are suffocating beneath the paint, beneath the paint
The sound , the sound, the sounds
Is contemplating against constraint, against constraint

Now that the world is over
Looking back, just looking back
Can’t make it up anymore
When the future is behind
Expectations done
Without shape life is flat
Run, in circles
You weren’t going anywhere
On and off and on and off and on and off again (x 2)
When the empty light swings over
Trance, modern night
No one, separate ones
Together, standing still
On and off and on and off and on and off again (x 2)

You were going on about your life of ease
But you never knew more than what you want pleased
In endless days which lay in the sun
In the last in mirage, would you stare or would you run
I saw you casted away, in the heavens in the sky
Always wondering, was this all for you and why?
When you’re on your own and you're blind to woe
Could you ever know, you’re not alone
So, meet me outside
To see the sky is falling
Meet me outside
To see the cities burning
Meet me outside
To hear the noises growing
Meet me outside
To hear the ruble yearning
Meet me outside
There will no tomorrow
Meet me outside
I could be closer to you
Meet me outside
Meet me outside
Meet me outside
Meet me outside
