Twenty seconds on the back time I feel you on the run Never lived too long to make right I see you're doing fine And when I get that feeling I can no longer slide I can no longer run And when I get that feeling I can no longer hide for it's no longer fun Well, you can say what you want But it won't change my mind I'll feel the same about you And you can tell me your reasons But it won't change my feelings I'll feel the same about you What I am is what you want of me Now that I'm not there Took the tables away from you It's turned that I don't care And when I get that feeling I can no longer slide I can no longer run And when I get that feeling I can no longer hide for it's no longer fun I've said goodnight try to sleep tight Just dream of me Go close your eyes cause I'll close mine The sun will shine from time to time When you dream of me
It's like he's sleeping now He got married in a rush 8 months on and summer's gone He finds it hard to adjust He's feeling younger now Younger than he was before he wishes he had changed his mind Old mistakes they seem so small And if he had to be you Then he'd get out and do the things he's always wanted Standing outside like a joker on a hill He's drawing crazy patterns with his shoes Some people push by And everyone is cursing them But he doesn't raise his hand He broke his dreams and lost a friend He's asking questions now Caught in his confusion He shakes his head and looks at me Then he shouts out loud If you had to be me Would you get out and do the things you always wanted It's like he's sleeping now When your'e gazing at the floor And on this late night It's getting harder now, harder now
Bright light city You're her religion Superstars in their own private movie Play just like children Lies that take her Places she's never seen The kiss and tell of it all To her seems so obsene She's so pretty her hair is a mess We all love her To that we confess She has a halo We really do adore her For she has a halo Can we touch her For her blindness she sees much further Like on a wide screen viewing going down on her She's so pretty her hair is a mess We all love her To that we confess She believes in everything And she believes in nothing in everything She believes in everything And she believes in nothing in everything She believes in everything And she believes in nothing She has a halo She has a halo
Are you ready maybe are you willing to run Are you ready to let yourself drown Are you holding your breath Are you ready or not Are you ready maybe do you long to confess Do you feel that you're already numb Are you sure of yourself Would you lie if you're not You tire me out don't want to let that happen A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen So put your arms around me You let me believe that you were someone else Cause only time can take you So let me believe that I am someone else Maybe are you ready to break Do you think that I push you too far Would you open yourself Are you reckless or not You tire me out don't want to let that happen A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen So put your arms around me So put your arms around me Make me believe Take me, take me somewhere, somewhere Let me believe Cause only time can take you so stop
Somebody told me it was over Nobody told me where it began No one believes in you I understand Like a blind man who's lost his way No one hears a word of what you say I forgive you Would you do the same I would believe you If only you'd be true I would believe if it were true Everybody wants to be a winner Nobody wants to lose their game Its insane for me Its insane for you Its insane I don't know where you been looking I think it's only in your mind Tied so tight inside of you all the thoughts unkind I would believe you If only you'd be true I would believe if it were true Cause everybody wants to be a winner Nobody wants to lose their game It's the same for me It's the same for you It's insane I would believe you if only you'd be true I'm getting older and I can't escape time
No I don't lack ambition Can't you see what I hate That it's you who is sinking Locked behind iron gates You should know, you're falling into fiction I can tell your'e on, you're on some foolish mission Your black eyed soul, you should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy you will find Your own space and time You call me superstitious, me up with your deceit I could never be malicious Tought I seem so bittersweet You should know, you're falling into fiction I can tell you're on some foolish mission You should know, you're falling into mission I can tell you're on some foolish mission
Round and round in Polo Mint City Isn't it pretty in Polo Mint City Round and round in Polo Mint City Isn't it pretty in Polo Mint City You took my breath away
"Non, je suis en retard (No, I'm late) Il faut que je sois а 9h10 а la tйlй (I have to be on TV by 9.10)" (Note : those two lines are not in the transcript) A perfect face comes calling A perfect hand reaches out Her perfect face in the morning December girl feels the same She needs to find the pace 'Cause she never looked so good when she was down She's blonde on white, white on blonde Her perfections are now gone, reflections everywhere If you gaze for too long it will fade and then it's gone Refelections everywhere Imagine naked legs calling Walking barefoot in the rain Imagine freezing cold weather December girl feels the same She needs to find the pace 'Cause she never looked so good when she was down A perfect face comes calling A perfect hand reaches out She needs to find the pace 'Cause she never looked so good when she was down
I'll send you a postcard from heaven's ocean I feel like staying here in heaven's ocean I've been dreaming for days now Jump in the sea I do that easily The sounds drowning what I'm seeing Count everyone for questions I have not known There's a storm in my thoughts now Come wash me clean beneath the waves with me Now we're smiling see me smiling Silence is what I need it's only in the sea
Attention annoys me I could disappoint So just take a walk and try to avoid The cars in the street now they could knock you down So just take a bus it's a long way down There's a ticket in my hand If you want I don't know what you think Tell me where you want to go Take a breath when I ask you to just try Close your eyes I'll take you there I could take you anywhere come fly Tell me what you want to do And I can make it up for you and lie Laughter annoys me makes me feel sad Yes I wrote that book, can I have it back There's black all around me and I'm lost in this crowd There's no coming back cause I'm on my way down There's a ticket in my hand I can't use it without you So tell me where you want to go Take a breath when I ask you to just try Close your eyes I'll take you there I could take you anywhere come fly So tell me where you want to go Take a breath when I ask you to just try Tell me what you want to do And I can make it up for you and lie So tell me where you want to go I will put that ticket in your hand
Open the window I need some air So many people and there's such disorder here Familiar faces found out lies And to distract I watch the passers by I wonder what they'd recognize And what they'd recommend to fill my days Possessions start to wear me down I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown I'm nervous can you help me Inside they harbour secret thoughts They peek through windows that have twice been locked I have to walk to wear me out I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown I'm nervous can you help me I fold my arms and pray to leave I've got a headful of ideas inside of me My lips pressed tight so as not to drown I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown I'm nervous can you help me Give me some good advice can never be wrong if I know it's you
All these bruises keep you awake I guess I'm just too tired to sleep God only knows I'm too lost to cry For kissing liars has kept me true I'll fall but I'll heal So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely I'll fall but I'll heal So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely He hates so much his love he says Inside it's dark I need to smile He shouts so loud I never hear That's why the truth's always abused As I slip into unconsiousness I never felt so much to blame As I slip into unconsiousness I never felt so much to blame
