i know there’ll come a time againwhen everything will fit right inand i won’t have to see your face in strangers on the street

how we love

i knew a man who was afraid to loveto lay his heart on the bathroom rughe drank his coffee in the same old mugand sat in silence ‘til the world fell numb

until the day when a girl came byshe had eyes like the rising tidehe felt a sharpness deep insidethe kind of ache that can’t be satisfied

we hate the rain when it fills up our shoesbut how we love when it washes our carswe love to love when it fills up the roombut when it leaves oh we’re cursing the stars

so he turned to the radioand he went to a picture showtried to find someone else who knowsall the hurt that a heart can hold

she smelled like cinnamon and winter cloveand sparked like firewood inside a stovewanted to ask her just to sit and stayinstead he watched as she walked away



palm of your hand

oh boy it’s over, you got me you shot me right between the eyesi’m sober, i’m over the haze of never knowingif i can still feel what is realwill someone punch me out

and oh boy i know boy i need a breakdowncan you crush me

in the palm of your handthe palm of your handthere’s nobody else who canyou know you crush mein the palm of your hand

oh boy you wake me and shake me i’ll break the bullet in my handi attack but you fight back the redder the love the betteryou make it all achei’m breathing, i’m breathing life againand oh boy i know boy i need a breakdowncan you crush me

in the palm of your handthe palm of your handthere’s nobody else who canyou know you crush mein the palm of your handthe palm of your handthere’s nobody else who canyou know you crush mein the palm of your hand

you make me want to be a human againcan i be your only human againyou bring me backyou bring me back in pieces in the

palm of your handthe palm of your handthere’s nobody else who canyou know you crush mein the palm of your handthe palm of your handthere’s nobody else who canyou know you crush me crush in the palm of your hand

ghost

do you remember when the walls felldo you remember the sound that the door made when you closed it on medo you know that i went down to the groundlanded on both my broken hearted knees

i didn’t even cry because pieces of me had already died

i’m a ghosthaunting these hallsclimbing up walls that i never knew were thereand i’m lostbroken down the middle of my heart, hearti’m broken down the middle of my heart, heartheart

you know you make me a ghostyou make me a ghost

i’m an invisible disasteri keep trying to walkbut my feet don’t find the solid groundit’s like living in a bad dreami keep trying to scream but my tongue has finally lost its sound

i’ve got to say goodbyeto the pieces of me that have already died

i’m a ghosthaunting these hallsclimbing these walls that i never knew were thereand i’m lostbroken down the middle of my heart, hearti’m broken down the middle of my heart, heartheart

you know you make me a ghostoh you make me a ghostyou make me a ghost (you take the breath all away from me, you take it away)you make me a ghost

i don’t cryi don’t try anymore

i’m a ghosti’m a ghostand i’m lostbroken down the middle of my heart, hearti’m broken down the middle

i’m a ghost haunting these hallsclimbing up walls that i never knew were thereand i’m lostbroken down the middle of my heart, hearti’m broken down the middle of my heart, heartheart

you know you make me a ghostyou know you make me a ghost

in the sea

i feel it in my skin, i feel it through my bonesyour fingertips are falling far from where i knowi try to pin you down but you move like a dreami want to find you but you dropped me in the sea

in the sea in the sea in the sea in the seayou dropped me in the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea

no no don’t rescue mei like the salt water stingit feels so good to feelit feels so good just to feel somethingin the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea

you move so softly in the middle of the nightlike a cocoon in sheets you wrap you up so tightremember how we used to tangle up and breathenow you’re so far away you roll me in the sea

in the sea in the sea in the sea in the seayou dropped me in the sea in the sea in the sea in the sea



keep warm

eyes on the prize and i can’t capsize this time‘cause there’s somebody else in my boatused to live alone in a tomb i made my ownbut now i’ve gone and given up my coat

and it’s cold outside but i’m just fineyou are mine to keep warm

down down down i go on a road that i don’t know and i ain’t got a thing in my bagsome things you can not planlike your hand in minejust put your hand in mine

and it’s cold outside but i’m just fineyou are mine to keep warmyeah it’s cold outside but i’m just fine you are mine to keep warm

sables and wine till the end of time you give me much more than thatdiamond rings and beautiful things oh you give me much more than thatwhen you smile

you are mine to keep warmand it’s cold outside but i’m just fineyou are mine to keep warm

end of the world

when the sun runs out and there’s no one to save youwill you go to our favorite place and try to say goodbye

at the end of at the end of the worldwill you find mewill you find meat the end of at the end of the worldwill you find meso that we can go together

when the moon breaks up and the tide goes out of controlwill you find me in the water and swim me to the stars

at the end of at the end of the worldwill you find mewill you find meat the end of at the end of the worldwill you find meso that we can go together, together...

when the sun breaks up and there’s no one to save you

at the end of at the end of the worldwill you find mewill you find meat the end of at the end of the worldwill you find mewill you find mewill you find mewill you find me
