I always believed in futuresI hope for better in novemberI try the same losing lucky numbersit could be a cold night …for a lifetimehey now,you can’t keep saying endlessly:my darling, how long until this affects me?
say hello to good timestrade up for the fast ridewe close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
I always could count on futures;that things will look upand they look upwhy is it so hard to find balance between living decent …and the cold and realhey now,what is it you think you see?my darling,now’s the time to disagree
say hello to good timestrade up for the fast ridewe close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
the past is told by those who winwhat matters is what hasn’t beenwe’re wide-awake and we’re thinkingmy darling,believe your voice can mean something
say hello to good timestrade up for the fast ride we close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completelywe close our eyes and the nickel and dimetake the streetscompletely

kill
you’re just across the streetlooks a mile to my feetI want to go to youfunny how I’m nervous still,I’ve always been the easy kill
I guess I always will
could it be that everything goes around by chanceor only one way that it was always meant to beyou kill meyou always know the perfect thing to sayI know what I should do but I just can’t walk away
I can picture your face wellfrom the bar in my hotelI wish I’d go to youI pick up, put down the phonelike your favorite heatmiser song goes:‘It’s just like being alone…’
oh god, please don’t tell me this has been in vainI need answers for what all the waiting I’ve done meansyou kill me you’ve got some nerve but can’t face your mistakesI know what I should do but I just can’t turn away
so go on, loveleave while there’s still hope for escapegot to take what you can these days there’s so much aheadand so much regretI know what you want to sayI know it but can’t help feeling differentlyI loved youand I should have said itbut tell me, just what has it ever meant
I can’t help itthis is who I amsorry but I can’t just go turn off how I feelyou kill me you build me up but just to watch me breakI know what I should do but I just can’t walk away
the world you love
I’ve got a storyit’s almost finished
now all I need is someone to tell it tomaybe that’s you
our time is borrowed and spent too freelyevery minute I have needs to be made up, but how?I’m looking for a nice way to say I’m out, I want out
I fall asleep with my friends around meonly place I know I feel safeI’m going to call this home
the open road is still miles awayhey, nothing serious, we still have our fun
oh, we had it oncewindows open and close that’s just how it goes
don’t it feel like sunshine after all?the world we loved forever gone
we’re only just as happyas everyone else seems to think we are
I’m in love with the ordinaryI need a simple space
and rest my head, everything gets clearI’m a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps, it gets me straight again helps me get over it over it
it might seem like a dream but it’s real to me
don’t it feel like sunshine after all?the world we loved forever gone
we’re only just as happyas everyone else seems to think we are
you should see the canals are freezingyou should see me high, you should just be here
be with me hereit doesn’t seem there’s hope for me, I let you down
but I won’t give in now not for any amount
don’t it feel like sunshine after all?the world we loved forever gone
we’re only just as happy as everyone else thinksnow, don’t that feel like sunshine after all?
the world we loved forever gonewe’re only just as happy
as everyone else seems to thing we arewe are
pain
I don’t feel the way I’ve ever feltI knowgoing to smile and not get worriedI try but it showsanyone can make what I have builtand better nowanyone can find the same white pills that take my pain away
it’s a lie a kiss with open eyes she’s not breathing backanything but bother menevermind, these are hurried timesI can’t let it bother me
I never thought I’d walk away from youI didbut it’s a false sense of accomplishment,every time I quitanyone can see my every flawit isn’t hardanyone can say they’re above this allbut it takes my pain away
it’s a lie a kiss with open eyesshe’s not breathing backanything but bother menevermind, these are hurried timesI can’t let it bother me
it’s a lie a kiss with open eyesshe’s not breathing backanything but bother menevermind, these are hurried timesI can’t let it bother me
drugs or me
stay with meyou’re the one I need
you make the hardest thingsseem easy
keep my heartsomewhere drugs don’t go
where the sunshine slowsalways keep me close
if only you could see the stranger next to meyou promise,
you promise that you’re donebut I can’t tell you from the drugs
don’t let gowe’ll dig a great big hole
down an endless hole,we’ll both go
you’re so blind!you can’t save me this time
hope comes from insideand I feel so low tonight
if only you could see the stranger next to meyou promise,
you promise that you’re donebut I can’t tell you from the drugs
I wish that you could see this face in front of me
you’re sorry, you swear it: you’re donebut I can’t tell you from the drugs
I need your hands to pull me uptake the wheel out from me
take me so far
keep my heart somewhere drugs don’t go
where the sunshine slowsalways keep me close
nothingwrong
hold them down, our bleeding suspectsjust because
just cause?just who are you
by candlelight burn, burn, burn babyburn, burn whose turn
who gets a taste today?
we’ve done nothing wrongbut we’ve done nothing
we can’t look awaybut we’re just looking
it’s second nature to say:we’ve done nothing wrong
turn them off, our blacklist singersdon’t ask why
don’t cry; don’t make a sceneon 45 spin, spin, spin give in
spin, spin who wins?who’s not afraid to play?
we’ve done nothing wrongbut we’ve done nothing
we can’t look awaybut we’re just looking
it’s second nature to say:we’ve done nothing
done nothing but take what’s handed down,said nothing but what’s approved to shout
we want to know that we own the cake we’re eating,then spit it out
out
hold them down, our bleeding suspectsturn them off, our blacklist singers
we’ve done nothing wrongbut we’ve done nothing
we can’t look awaybut we’re just looking
it’s second nature to say:we’ve done nothing wrong
polaris
I’ll say it straight and plain:I know I’ve made mistakes
I’ve always been afraida thousand nights or more
I travel east and northplease answer the door
you say that love goes anywherein your darkest time
it’s just enough to know it’s therewhen you go I’ll let you be
but you’re killing everything in me
get down on your kneeswhisper what I need:
something prettyI feel that when I’m old
I’ll look at you and knowthe world was beautiful
then you tell me…
you say that love goes anywherein your darkest time
it’s just enough to know it’s therewhen you go I’ll let you be
but you’re killing everything in me
I’m done, there’s nothing left to showI try but can’t let go
are you happy where you’re standing still?do you really want the sugar pill?
I’ll wake up tomorrow and I’ll starttonight it feels so hard
as the train approaches gare du nord,I’m sure your kiss remains employed,
am I only dreaming?
you say that love goes anywherein your darkest time
it’s just enough to know it’s therewhen you go I’ll let you be
but you’re killing everything in me
when you go I’ll let you bebut you’re killing everything in me
night drive
lay back baby and we’ll do this rightthere are blankets in back we can use
I’ll start the car but we’ll stay in parkthe cold can kill us before fumes
now’s the right time for a good songget something to say what I can’t
do you feel bad. like I feel bad?pour us a road, we’ll both drink and drive
kiss me with your cherry lipsticknever wash you off my face
hit me, I can take your cheap shotleave you with the love we made
come alive on the driver’s sideso close I taste your breath
your lips go dry but there’s sweet insidewine must go right to your head
it’d be easy if you’d get madbut three fingers point back to you
we could stay herestay out all night
no one would know,us and the moonlight
kiss me with your cherry lipsticknever wash you off my facehit me, I can take your cheap shotleave you with the love we made
I set my watch by a street-side clocka needle in echo grooveyou pierce my heart like a willing armyour ticking makes my blood movethere’s no way out, this fade outbe happy to get what you domake him notice…with both fistsquitting alone will never get you dry
give me everything you’ve got nowI don’t feel a single thingdrag me out into the cold rainlet it hover over mekiss me with your cherry lipsticknever wash you off my facehit me, I can take your cheap shotleave you with the love we made

I felt for sure last nightthat once we said goodbye
no one else will know these lonely dreamsno one else will know that part of me
I’m still driving awayand I’m sorry every day
I won’t always love these selfish thingsI won’t always live
not stopping
it was my turn to decideI knew this was our time
no one else will have me like you dono one else will have me
only you
you’ll sit alone forever if you wait for the right timewhat are you hoping for?
I’m here I’m now I’m readyholding on tight
don’t give away the end,the one thing that stays mine
amazing still, it seemsI’ll be twenty three
I won’t always love what I’ll never haveI won’t always live in my regret
you’ll sit alone forever if you wait for the right timewhat are you hoping for?
I’m here I’m now I’m readyholding on tight
don’t give away the end,the one thing that stays mine
