Sixes & Sevens Lyrics
sixes and sevens
forgotten blood stains on your shirt
and the trophy that you kept for me
forgotten
and misused
i know you’ll never understand
i’ll never understad
when you say
that this is it
if it makes you cry
i’ll be alright
if it makes you cry
you’re alright
if it breaks you down
i’ll be around
if it breaks you down
now the trophy’s gone
forever
and i won’t sit and wait for you
remember
my last words
because you’ll never understand
i’ll never understand
i made an effort to close my eyes and pretend
that i was happy to see you moving on
well guess what, it’s not over
forget this now
I Think We Need To Talk Lyrics
It was a communication failure
someone misunderstood
and then someone got hurt
you must have meant something else
when you said ‘no strings attached’
my apologies
next time i’ll pay attention
or better yet start running like i do
we don’t have anything
but time we’re taking up
it’s breaking your back
and maybe we won’t last another day
but we keep on pushing on
i guess that she and you are friends now
and i think that’s great
no i really do
a perfect 10 across the board
you got me good, evened the score
but then again i’m losing count
and if you find yourself so insecure
then maybe you should find out who you are
you were sure that you wanted to
you were sure; i could tell
but somehow in your sureness you made a mistake
and maybe that’s okay
October 16th Lyrics
all at once it seemed so easy
the way to make this right
just to let myself feel these things
and say what’s on my mind
so i let my guard down
and it seems not for the best
i guess i do the right things
at all the wrong times
and stand to pay the price
cause i waited much too long
or just said something wrong
and i miss you
but you’re not giving in
i missed it
and better luck is on my wish list
maybe that’s why i’m alive
i’m not giving up on this yet
another time it might be different
if anything that’s why i’m alive
if i’d just said something sooner
then maybe this could start
but at the time i couldn’t see this coming
or how it’d fall apart
you can slow it down
and you can buy more time
but it comes around
and then you change your mind too late
there’s nothing left to say about it now
Holding On
Don’t delay
act now so you won’t
be suprised
when all your life you’ve spent
searching for another way
and it’s too late
to go back now
let’s start a brand new day
this is my heart beating strong,
hardly holding on
i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again
how else was this supposed to end?
you can’t avoid disaster, you can only bring it faster
and it’s a shame
this is just another verse
and it can’t help me to reach you
to teach you
now it’s time
to focus on the many different ways to spend your life
searching for other times
and other places
everywhere you look is your regret
it’s too late now for a second chance
you stumble falling down to the ground
you’ll have to live with that for now
There You Go
The more you give the less you get
i’d give you all there is to give
but you were searching
for the best things in life
the more you say the less you do
and i’d do anything for you
but you were searching
for the best things in life
and the sparks they burned to ashes
and all you have to say is nothing
there you go
Eyes Like Stars
you let it out
when the world collides
the deepest sigh
then you close your eyes and then
the words come out
and you wanna shout inside
but you hold your tongue
and hope they come out right
you let it out
when the world collides
i can’t wait to make this happen
i wrote it down on a paper napkin that said
‘your eyes burn like stars tonight’
and you watch me from above
houston we have a problem
i left my heart back home tonight
if this world keeps spinning faster
i don’t think i’ll get it back in time
i know i’ve never been there but
it must be nice this time of year
these words come flowing out my chest
so let me know if i’m making sense
you let it out
then you’re gone
you let it out again and it’s out again
Through With False Starts Lyrics
I felt it in my gut
i felt it pull me from inside
this is close enough to taste i hope they
never stop this train and let me off
silly dreams and innocence can really find a way
to get under your skin
it’s under my skin
and you can’t belong to hopeless passions for too long
before giving up the fight and moving on
in a dream your heart swells
and no one ever sees
the pain inside these eyes is real
(and those dreams meant everything to me)
until i die
i can’t put it down and walk away
the window is a picture of the way we live
we can try this one last time
i’m sick of starting up again
let the weak be left behind
i’m done with starts that never end
Ten In The Clear
Counting the seconds
watching the world come crashing down
i knew all along
this can’t last forever
it takes just a moment then it’s gone
i’m lost in better days
i thought the past would never change
something has changed
and now i have to
watch you from my
rear-view mirror as i drive away
now that it’s over
i can admit that i am scared
so unprepared
and so unfamiliar
everything is vanishing into thin air
i’m twisting and turning and burning
it’s my armeggadon
my own personal ending of all things
driving through ashes of romance and memories
that used to mean the world to me
Remember Lyrics
cold like a winter breeze
when you know you can’t fight forever
i wanna take you
and i wanna make you see the light
i can save you now
i’m sorry that i let you down
i tried so hard
but it’s not worth it
it’s not working out
warm like summer heat
when you know you can’t fight forever
kill or die
don’t let anyone down
Chaos & Monotony
Take the last train to nowhere
by the time that you get back,
i’ll be here
somewhere in this crowd of straight-faced lies
and lost among the miles of fast-paced lives
and honest dreams
of going backwards
we’re going backwards
against the grain
forget my name
cause i will be gone
to better days
when we were young
when december rain would fall
and autumn leaves as well
and the world would stop for anyone
and not just for a while
and the walls that tore us down
were never quite so high
and we understood the world
this unforgiving life
it’s got to get better cause
this must be the most complicated waste of time
so i turn to you
to rip the pages from the book
as the air-waves sing
Darling Buds Of May Lyrics
We’ve had repeat phone conversations
where no one says a word
and we could stay in this a long time
but all that it would do is make it worse
tell me what you want me to say
or what to do
it might console you but that
doesn’t make it true
i know you lie to yourself
i won’t lie to you
a broken heart won’t mend unless
you want it to
it’s been too long since you have witnessed
the darling buds of may
and if the seasons change then why can’t we?
cause things were never meant to stay the same
oh tell me what you want me to say
tell me what to do
it might console you but that
doesn’t make it true
i know you lie to yourself
i won’t lie to you
a broken heart won’t mend unless
you can see the darling buds of may
all the darling buds of may
