Light Years Away (Intro)
00:58
|
|||
|
didn't have enough time for you to go
didn't have enough time for you to show
eye to eye, face to face
stuck somewhere light years away
but you'll be fine
you'll be fine

All Your Money
03:56
|
|||
|
here comes the angels; now we're miles apart
you bet all your money on a soft side that i don't got
i hope you found it
i hope you found it in someone else
here comes the table; the math you couldn't figure out
not that you weren't able, just too fast to write it down
i hope you got it
i hope you got it in someone else
and we're too far gone to believe in God
and we're too far out to burn it down
and the houses are all so far apart
there's a burning field we're standing in
there's a burning field swallowing everything

The World
04:18
|
|||
|
there's nothing more clear than what you know when the end is near
and bent out of shape, maybe unrecognizable if you made a mistake
but a mistake by you could tear the world in two
if you were never one of the wise
and you heard what they said about the sun in the sky
and you heard what they said about the sun of god
and you heard what they said about all of us
but you can find it in you to turn it all around
you can find it in you to lose yourself
i just want you to know what's coming your way
if you can't find someone to save the day
'cause there's not strength in you to tear the world in two
i have known it all this time
and you heard what they said about the sun in the sky
and you heard what they said about the sun of god
and you heard what they said about all of us
but you can find it in you to turn it all around
you can find it in you to lose yourself
there's not strength in you to tear the world in two
i have known it all this time
it's too delicate to tear the world in two
i known it all this time
sun, approach
if you don't know, well, how can you make it better?
ground below
you should know we're better off together
oh, say it ain't so
but everyone knows, i've been this way forever
but a mistake by you, leaving me, just in time
and you heard what they said about the sun in the sky
and you heard what they said about the sun of god
and you heard what they said about all of us
but you can find it in you to turn it all around
you can find it in you to lose yourself
bent out of shape,
maybe unrecognizable if you made a mistake

Look Up
01:49
|
|||
|
hopeful it seems, dark it may be
light that we see shines so softly
right through the screen, covering everything
but you got stars in you - or so they tell me
is it the sun we're looking out for?
though we try
we can't look up for much longer
but don't look down
we can play this game
if you want to
don't look down
oh, what a shame
to waste the view

My Heart Is A House
03:06
|
|||
|
and we planted these seeds
and it's for everyone i know
and i'll come to reap
everything you grow
and i will lock all my doors
and i will shut all my blinds
but i will open one window
so you can come inside
if you want
my heart is a house
and it's too far for you to come down
still it'll go
still you'll know
that i'm no good at moving on
i'm no good at moving on
you can come inside if you're out there
i'll turn on the lights if you're scared
my heart is a house
and it's too far for you to burn down
if you want
my heart is a house
and it's too far for you to see now

Dead Boy's Song
04:50
|
|||
|
this is a dead boy's song
everything looks a little grim from now on
maybe we'll get along
maybe i'll be out before the morning comes
in the night time i will say
everything i've said every day to you
this is a dead boy's song
everything feels a little cold from now on
i swear that i'll be gone
my place will be cold in the bed and so on
and in the morning i will say
everything i've said every day to you
it's not worth fighting over
we're not getting any closer
so turn back around
yeah, we're all walking head down
toward the quiet sound of it all
this is the tallest drop
everything looks a little small from up top
some day we'll all be caught
by everything we knew and what we thought
in the downpour i won't wait
the same way i have left every day from you
it's not worth fighting over
we're not getting any closer
so turn back around
yeah, we're all walking head down
toward the quiet sound of it all
so turn back around,
yeah i'm caught up right now
singing the words of a dead boy's song
it's not worth fighting over
we're not getting any closer
so turn back around
yeah, we're all walking head down
toward the quiet sound of it all
this is a dead boy's song

Lights
03:59
|
|||
|
do you know how i feel about you now?
not so good and if you wanna know how
it's just the lights
in the past i swore i'd be different
i tried to be nice but we both knew i couldn't do it
out of spite
i remember white snow through the window
i remember your name on the glass
i remember everything i didn't know about then
i remember everything i just want to forget
but it's alright
it'll be fine

Breakneck Speed
03:02
|
|||
|
the sun goes down
but you don't need to cry
it's over
the car went miles and miles away
breakneck speed
all the way down the street
the sun goes down
but you go further up and away
it's been a year, it's fine
reset everything. redraw the lines
i should say thank you for everything you've done
though it's over now, it was enough
the cage shaking, i can see
there's an animal in your heart trying to break free
you leave it there
it'll kill you eventually

Light Years Away (Outro)
00:55
|
|||
|
didn't have enough time for you to call
but if i had been there, would you have called at all?
can you hang around?
head in space
yeah, i'm stuck somewhere
light years away
but you don't got time
you don't got time
