Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine

refrain I :
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Refrain II: 
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
Yeh, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned that I don't care

Refrain I

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh

refrain II

It's like he's sleeping now
He got married in a rush
Eight 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 could change his mind
Yeah 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

refrain: 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've always wanted
 
refrain

It's like he's sleeping now
When you're gazing at the floor
And on this late night
It's getting harder now harder now

refrain

He's drawing crazy patterns
With his shoes

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 it seems so obscene

refrain II
 She's so pretty
Her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

Refrain: She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

For their blindness
She sees much further
Like on a wide-screen viewing
Going down on her
 
refrain II & I
She believes in everything
She believes in nothing, in everything
Halo, halo, halo, halo
Halo, halo, halo, halo

refrain

For 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 wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

Ooh ooh so put your arms around me
You let me believe that you are someone else
Ooh ooh 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 wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

refrain
Sha na na na na
Ooh ooh so put your arms around me

Make me believe
Take me take me 
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

refrain: Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
It's the same for me
It's insane insane insane insane insane

I don't know where you've been looking
I think it's only in your mind
It's 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

refrain

I would believe you
If only you'd be true
I'm getting older
And I can't escape time

refrain

No I don't lack ambition

Can't you see what I hate

That it's you who is sinking

Locked behind iron gates

 

Yeah you should know, you're falling into fiction

I can tell you're on some foolish mission

 

You're 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 supersticious

Tie me up with your deceit

I could never be malicious

Though I seem so bittersweet

 

Yeah you should know, you're falling into fiction

I can tell you're on some foolish mission

 

You're 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

 

Yeah you should know, you're falling into fiction

I can tell you're on some foolish mission

 

You're 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

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 a place
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
Reflections everywhere

Imagine naked legs falling
Walking barefoot in the rain
Imagine freezing cold weather
December girl feels the same
She needs to find a place
Cause she never looked so good when she was down

refrain

A perfect face comes calling
A perfect hand reaches out
She needs to find a place
Cause she never looked so good when she was down

refrain

refrain:
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

refrain

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

refrain

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 long way down

There's a ticket in my hand
If you want
I don't know what you think

refrain: Tell me where you wanna 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
Yeah tell me what you wanna do
I can make it up for you and lie

Laughter annoys me
Makes me feel sad
Yeah 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
     
refrain

So tell me where you wanna go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Yeah tell me what you wanna do
I can make it up for you and lie
So tell me where you wanna go
I will put that ticket in your hand
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 my crown

refrain: 
I'm nervous can you help me
Yeah 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 my crown

refrain

I fold my arms and pray to leave
I've got a head full of ideas inside of me
My lips pressed tight so as not to drown
I need some good advice some good advice to wear my crown

refrain

Giving me some good advice
Can never be wrong
If I know it's you

All these bruises keep me awake
I guess I'm just too tired to sleep
And God only knows I'm too lost to cry
For kissing liars has kept me true

I'll fall (hold me tight)
But I'll heal (hold me tight)
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 unconciousness
I never felt so much to blame

I'll fall (hold me tight)
But I'll heal (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause I'm so lonely

I'll fall (hold me tight)
But I'll heal (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause I'm so lonely

As I slip into unconciousness
I never felt so much to blame

I'll fall (hold me tight)
But I'll heal (hold me tight)
So hold me tight
Cause I'm so lonely

I'll fall (another day another night)
But I'll heal
So hold me tight
Cause I'm so lonely
