Do I stay Or should I go I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose you. Should I change Change who I am I don't want to have to, I don't want to have to. I shouldn't have to feel this way, feel this way Like a ghost I'm empty and have gone astray Can you say no I don't want you to go Take my hand and come with me To another place where you can see That you, you're not alone Believe in me Do I fight Fight back the fear I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose you Should I hide? Hide from your words? I don't want to have to, I don't want to have to I shouldn't have to feel this way, feel this way Like a ghost I'm empty and have gone astray Can you say no I don't want you to go Take my hand and come with me To another place where you can see That you, you're not alone Believe in me I'm trying, but I'm dying inside I'm trying, but I'm dying inside I'm trying, but I'm dying inside I can't go on I shouldn't have to feel this way, feel this way Like a ghost I'm empty and have gone astray I shouldn't have to feel this way, feel this way Like a ghost I'm empty and have gone astray Can you say no I don't want you to go Take my hand and come with me To another place where you can see That you, you're not alone Believe in me

So sorry heart, I said I wouldn't fall for you I took your hand, The start of something new You woke me up Reached out to save My aching soul Butterflies, form inside Means our feelings still bind Everything I do, I do it for you You had me at hello, I couldn't say no In your arms I feel we can conquer the town These cliches are words to say I love you So sorry heart, I said I wouldn't fall for you Our heart to hearts We're hand in hand Can't break us A love so strong Removes the hurt Inside of you

Would You 03:18
Well You, You're out there I'm thinking about you and waiting Denying, my heart Head can't understand I just can't have you Would you save me if I drown Would you hold me if I cry Would you pick me up if I fall Would you tell me I am more than what I am Would you save me, would you hold me, would you love me Would you pick me, Would you tell me, would you love me We share, So many laughs, and memories to reminisce on Maybe you'll miss me someday Have no fear, I promise I won't be gone You're all I think about, you're running through my mind I'll do anything I can, just to be in your arms

When everything in your world is upside down When all you think you knew is finally wrong When your mind stays in bed, sleeping sound This is when you think you're not where you belong When everyone stares at you like through a window When you feel like breathing through glass-made lungs When distorting mirrors wouldn't cause more sorrow This is when you think you're not where you belong And when you're searching where you're supposed to be Just look around yourself and find your real friends The ones who are saying you can trust me The ones you know will be there 'till the end This is where you belong When all you want to do is get back to a day When the sky was blue; your life, young When you wonder why the time is flying this way This is when you know you're not where you belong And when you're searching where you're supposed to be Just look around yourself and find your real friends The ones who are saying you can trust me The ones you know will be there 'till the end This is where you belong

I won't mistake you for problems with me I won't let my moods ruin this you'll see I won't take everything good and move it away I won't be left dancing along to songs from the past Would you stay home and keep our memories warm with me Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me I know you're sad even though you say that you're not I know you're scared even though you say that you're not I won't get mad when you say things are getting too hard I won't make all of your love so scared to come through our yard I won't scream in my head and let it isolate me I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past

Oh and I'm feeling Directionless yes But that's to be expected And I know that best And in creeps the morning And another day's lost You've just written wondering And I reply fast All you need to save me All you need to save me Call (call) And I'll be curled on the floor Hiding out from it all And I won't take any other call I feel like a fool So I'm going to stop troubling you Buried in my yard A letter to send to you And if I forget Or god forbid die too soon Hope that you'll hear me Know that I wrote to you All you need to say to me All you need to say to me Is call (call) And I'll be curled on the floor Hiding out from it all And I won't take any other call

If they take my hand, Will it be to burn me or to say ‘amen’? We beckon so we can make amends, And with the same flip of the hand we curse our friends. Where it’s all a blur, you are the hard line. In the disorder, you are the peace sign. J’ai tant voulu savoir, Si mes peurs ont tout fait pour m’égarer. Mais quand la vérité se cache, Je te suivrai où que tu veuilles aller. Quand la guerre éclate, tu es le silence. Et dans tout ce désordre, you are the peace sign. I can’t tell if they’re laughing at me or with me. All these hints and subtleties, got me on my knees, begging for serenity. And when it’s all a blur, you are the hard line. In the disorder, you are the peace sign. And when riots stir, tu es le silence. And in the disorder, you are the peace sign. Quand la guerre éclate, you are the sound mind. Et dans tout ce désordre, you are the peace sign. And in the disorder, you are the peace sign. In the disorder, you are the peace sign.

I am going away for a while But I'll be back don't try and follow me Cause I'll return as soon as possible See I'm tryin' to find my place But it might not be here where I feel safe We all learn to make mistakes, And run from them From them With no direction We'll run from them From them With no conviction Cause I'm just one of those ghosts Traveling endlessly Don't need no roads In fact they follow me And we just go in circles Now I'm told that this is life Pain is just a simple compromise So we can we get what we want out of it Will someone care to classify A broken heart and twisted minds So I can find, someone to rely on, And run to them to them Full speed ahead Oh you are not Useless We are just Misguided ghosts Traveling endlessly The ones we trusted the most Pushed us far away And there's no one road We should not be the same I'm just a ghost And still they echo me They echo me in circles.

Climbed up on the rainbow Just to see if I'd fall off I'm a frosted lemon coward And I don't know how No don't know to hold you Without shaking No I'm not aware of how I could possibly love you Without aching Yes I give you everything Yes I give you anything I gave you everything Gotta watch myself I've gotta love myself And take care And so keep the light on before Ya hop into bed Cos, baby, this is the last Honest look I'll ever give I saved up all my sunshine Just to see you more clear I'm a little short on solar And I haven't given in No I'm going to hold you anyway And I'll do it without shaking Yes I'll love you always And I'll do it without aching Yes I'd give you anything Yes I'd give you anything I gave you everything Gotta watch myself I've gotta love myself And take care And so keep the light on before Ya hop into bed Cos, baby, this is the last Honest look I'll ever give I give you everything I give you anything I gave you everything Gotta watch my self I've gotta love myself And take care Yeah Gave you I gave you I gave you everything So I've gotta watch myself And love myself And take care This is your last look This is your last look This is your last look Yeah this is your last look This is your last look This is your last look And so keep the light on before Ya hop into bed Cos, baby, this is the last Honest look I'll ever give

No words My tears won't make any room for 'em, oh And it don't hurt Like anything I've ever felt before This is no broken heart No familiar scars This territory goes uncharted Just me In a room sunk down in a house in a town And I don't breathe Though I never meant to let it get away from me Now I have too much to hold Everybody has to get their hands on gold And I want uncharted Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help the feeling I'm going down Follow if you want, I won't just hang around Like you'll show me where to go I'm already out Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how To get started It's all uncharted Each day I'm countin' up the minutes 'til I get alone 'Cause I can't stay In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault But I'm so low Never knew so much I didn't know Oh, everything is uncharted I know I'm getting nowhere When I only sit and stare like I'm going down Follow if you want, I won't just hang around Like you'll show me where to go I'm already out Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how To get started It's all uncharted Jump start my kaleidoscope heart I love to watch the colors fade They may not make sense But they sure as hell made me I won't go as a passenger, no Waiting for the road to be laid Though I may be going down I'll take in flame over burning out Compare Where you are to where you wanna be And you'll get nowhere I'm going down Follow if you want, I won't just hang around Like you'll show me where to go I'm already out Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how To get started I'm going down Follow if you want, I won't just hang around Like you'll show me where to go I'm already out Of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how To get started It's all uncharted

I gotta say something I've been thinking about. I can't wait to lay around with you. And tell you all the secrets I've been keeping to myself. It's been awhile since I've felt butterflies. Do you feel the same way too? If every single second could last that much longer. Would you hold me? And kiss me again underneath the moonlight. You're more than a friend, oh. I knew it from the first sight, yeah. Hold me, feel my heart beat. Put your arms around me. And kiss me again. And kiss me again. I gotta say I wasn't expecting you To come this way and fall into my arms. And now I know I can't deny this feeling any longer. I close my eyes, I can't stop thinking about you. Crack a smile, I just can't lose. At a mile a minute my heart beats to the limit when I'm with you. So, kiss me again underneath the moonlight. You're more than a friend, oh. I knew it from the first sight, yeah. Hold me, feel my heart beat. Put your arms around me. And kiss me again. I can't let you go, can't let you float away. 'Cause that would be a mistake. I'm not ready to run, can't let you go to waste. No, no, no, no. And kiss me again underneath the moonlight. You're more than a friend, oh. I knew it from the first sight, yeah. Hold me, feel my heart beat. Put your arms around me. Hold me, feel my heart beat. And put your arms around. And kiss me again, and again, and again. Oh, kiss me again.

No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late And their kid's not back from that party yet No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake No one's laughing at God when they see the one they love Hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door And they say we've got some bad news, sir No one's laughing at God when there's a famine, fire or flood But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke God can be funny When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus God can be so hilarious Ha ha Ha ha No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one's laughing at God when they've lost all they've got And they don't know what for No one laughs at God on the day they realize that the last sight they'll ever see Is a pair of hateful eyes No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke God can be funny When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus God can be so hilarious No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one laughing at God in a hospital No one's laughing at God in a war No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor No one's laughing at God No one's laughing at God No one's laughing at God We're all laughing with God

Feel it falling off like clothing Taste it rolling on your tongue See the lights above you glowing Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs It was always simple, not hidden hard You've been pulling at the strings playing puppeteer for kings And you've had enough But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know that you control where you go You can steer So hold this feeling like a newborn Of freedom surging through your veins You have opened up a new door So bring on the wind, fire and rain It was always simple, not hidden hard You've been played at a game called remembering your name And you stuffed it up But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know that you control where you go You can steer 'Cos you've been listening for answers But the city screams and all your dreams go unheard But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know that you control where you go You can steer Year get out of the box and step into the clear 'Cos now you finally know you can steer
