You swear you recall, nothing at all
That could make you come back down
You made up your mind to leave it all behind
Now you're forced to fight it out

You fall away from your past
But it's following you, now
You fall away from your past
It's following you

You left something undone, it's now your rerun
It's the one, you can't erase
You should have made it right, so you wouldn't have to fight
To put a smile back on your face

You fall away from your past
But it's following you
You fall away from your past
It's following you, now

You fall away
You fall away

Something, I've done that I can't outrun
Something, I've...

All At Once Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

There are certain people
You just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder
Could you find a better one
Compared to her, now she's in question

And all at once
The crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing
And the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her
Maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare
To someone not there

Looking for the right one
You line up, the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
Oh, but she won't keep on waiting
For you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once
The crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing
And the...

Vienna Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Days last one way ticket train pulls in
We smile for the casual closure capturing
There goes the downpour, here goes my fare thee well

There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
'Cause I'm already gone

Only so many words that we can say
Spoken upon long distance melody
This is my hello, this is my goodness

There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
'Cause I'm already gone

Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again
Straighten this whole thing out
Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy
This is the distance, this is my game face

There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
Is there really no way to reach me
I'm already

So this is your maverick
This is Vienna

Together Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

As the spring in its bloom, the summer stars and the moon
Come and dance with me my love and we will be one

We go together, I promise forever, everyday together, I live with you
We go together, I promise forever, everyday together, I live with you

As the leafs and the trees, the oceans celebrate you and me
We will live to see many days, and we'll dream, we'll dream

We go together, I promise forever, everyday together, I live with you
Go together, I promise forever, everyday together, I live with you

Trust Me Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Looking for something I've never seen
Alone and I'm in between
The place that I'm from and the place that I'm in
A city I never been

I found a friend or should I say a foe
Said there's a few things you should know
We don't want you to see we come and we go
Here today, gone tomorrow

We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older you will understand

If I say who I know it just goes to show
You need me less than I need you
But take it from me we don't give sympathy
You can trust me trust nobody

But I said you and me we don't have honesty
The things we don't want to speak...

Oceans Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Figure since I'm so far gone, oceans away
I can lay my saber down today
I miss the words, I love the words you did not say
I miss the kiss you never, never gave away

There goes the sun, oceans away
And days die young when you're gone and you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else

Honestly, I thought that we could make it all the way
Barefoot on beaches, dancing against the gray
But stone by stone, the castle crumbled to the ground
I stood and stared as you started to fall into the waves

There goes the sun, oceans away
And days die young when you're gone and you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else

Here's to the man of your dreams

Take it all in a box
And make my way down to the shore
Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves

Leave it to the waves
Leave it to the
And leave it to the
And leave it to the waves

Some Trust Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Fake you're full an' you feel tomorrow comin'
An' you gotta do what you can do to get away
With everything you want still get what you need

So you're slowin' down 'cause you've done it before
You look at the floor an' you wonder when it's gonna
Come, on up over your head, you can get some rest

Some trust in love, some trust in hatred
Some trust in fea, some in violence
Some trust in faith an' some trust in fortune
Some trust in God an' some just get away

Oh, swear to God, I'm goin' to get it right
Stay down side 'til I get my fill
Take it all but it's fallin' through
Done it before so maybe a little bit...

Happiness Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it'd crash blowing eighty miles an hour
But happiness is a little more like knocking
On your door, you just let it in

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone, not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
'Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for...

Unsaid Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Not that you're the one
Not to say I'm right
Not to say today
And not to say a thing tonight

But suffice it to say
We're leaving things unsaid
We sing ourselves to sleep
Watching the day lie down instead

And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead

We're both pretty sure
Neither one can tell
We seem difficult
What we got is hard as hell

A hundred thousand words
Could not quite explain
So I walk you to your car
And we can talk it out in the rain

And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead
And we are leaving some things unsaid

I can sing myself to sleep no more

Not that you're the one
Not to say I'm right
Not to say today
And not to say a thing tonight

Say When Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

I see you there, don't know where you come from
Unaware of a stare from someone
Don't appear to care that I saw you and I want you

What's your name? 'Cause I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
We're terrified 'cause we're heading
Straight for it, might get it

You been the song playing on the background
All along but you're turning up now
And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you

Turn around and you're walking toward me
I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly
You say the word and I will be your man, your man

Say when and my own two hands
Will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when...

You Found Me Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything"

Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me

But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever...

Heaven Forbid Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

Twenty years, it's breaking you down
Now that you understand, there's no one around
Take a breath, just take a seat
You're falling apart and tearing at the seams

Heaven forbid you end up alone
You don't know why
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow
You'll be alright

It's on your face, is it on your mind
Would you care to build a house of your own
How much longer, how long can you wait
It's like you wanted to go and give yourself away

Heaven forbid you end up alone
And you don't know why
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow
You'll be alright

Heaven forbid you end up alone
And don't know why
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow...

Absolute Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

I've seen this one before
The girl she gets away
Everybody knows it
But no one tries to stop it

'Cause she barely even knows him
But if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits
To tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute?

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
(Absolute)
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear
(Absolute)

It's a kiss sits upon on her lips
That waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer
And he has got a picture on his wall

And it's a sailor in
A new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble
Like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be...

Little House Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

She doesn't look, she doesn't see
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out

Narrow line, she can't decide
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works

Something's scratching its way out
Something you wanna forget about

A part of you that'll never show
You're the only one
That'll ever know

Take it back when it all began
Take your time, would you understand
What it's all about, what it's all about?

Something's scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about
No one expects you to get up
All on your own with no one around

Something's scratching its way out
Something you wanna forget about
No one expects you to get up
All on your own with no one around

Dead Wrong Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

If only I knew what I know
I'd make it a point to say so
To everyone that got me here
And everyone that made it

Clear I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
When I was astray

I'm doing the best that I could
Trying my best to be understood
Maybe I'm changing slowly
I'd get out turn around if only I

Knew I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
When I was dead wrong all along

Mine is not a new story
Mine is not a new story
Mine is nothing new but it is for me

So I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
You thought I'd lost my way
When I was dead wrong all along

You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
Did I really lose my way
Or are you afraid?

Look After You Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I wanna take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, be my baby
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, be my baby
I'll look after you

There now, steady, love, so few come and don't go
Will you, won't you be the one I'll always know?
When I'm losing my control the city spins around
You're the only one who knows you slow it down

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, be my baby
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, be my baby
I'll look after you and I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt
My love, she leans...

We Build Then We Break Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

I don't know you
But I know what you did to her
She told me and
I happen to believe her too

They will be three steps behind
You will not know what's got you
Oh, so you're sorry now
All is not well, it's not ended

Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater

You've been quiet
There are things that you do not speak of
But if you stay gone
A little longer, your keys won't work

'Cause I will be two steps behind
You will not know what's got you
Oh, so you're sorry now
All is not well, it's not ended

Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater
Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater

Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater
Hold your breath 'til it's over
There's something left underwater

Over My Head Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth

But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head, over my head
Eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
To say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along

But that's disregard...

Hundred Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

The how I can't recall
But I'm staring at what once was the wall
Separating east and west
Now, they meet amidst the broad daylight

So, this is where you are
And this is where I am
Somewhere between unsure
And a hundred

It's hard I must confess
I'm banking on the rest to clear away
'Cause we have spoken everything
Everything short of I love you

You right where you are
From right where I am
Somewhere between unsure
And a hundred

Somewhere between unsure
And a hundred

And who's to say it's wrong?
And who's to say that it's not right
Where we should be for now?

So, this is where you are
And this is where I am
So, this is where you are
And this is where I've been
And this is where I've been

Somewhere between unsure
And a hundred

City Hall Lyrics

posted by edwestwick

The city hall in my mind, met last night
Rumors of reelection started to fly

It's my funeral today, my funeral today
I laid it down, underneath the sound
It's my principle concern, my principle concern
Is what you say but I wanted it this way
'Cause I'm throwin' down without a fight

You're more than welcome to look around
Consult your checklist, go underground
I'll claim a stake, here inside the frame
But I'm going under another way

I won't return after today so I'm at liberty
To say what's on my mind and it some I like
You can't watch me anymore, you can't make me like before
When I was yours when all I...
