I’ll Never Hang My Head Down


Through the curtains I saw your face

You lured me into this familiar place

And you were dancing among the dead

You were circling around my bed

You set me up and tried to get it back

To get me back on my knees again

You’re beautiful,

I can’t deny

This thing we had,

yet we saw it die

I gotta get the hell out of this town

And so you know

I loved you dearly

In every way

I gave you all but now I can’t stay

I’ll never ever hang my head down

You’ll never hear that sound

I’ll never ever hang my head down

The rain came with a poison pill

You said my name, like a cheap thrill

You watched a child turn into a man

And now I’m the power in command

But my eager heart, it wouldn’t  fit in the crown

And everything came tumbling down

 

It was beautiful but so out of time

And I’m sad I had to watch it die

those tears won’t turn this thing around

And so you know

I loved you dearly

In every way

I gave you all but now I can’t stay

I’ll never ever hang my head down

You’ll never hear that sound

I’ll never ever hang my head down

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

I’m lost in

My random thoughts and places

It’s been

A lonely travel

I’ve seen

The sun eclipsing in the dark /and it didn’t/ mean a thing

Words they

You know they win me over

Each day

With every letter

I hold

A picture of you as a child, of way back when

And I’ve written about it, I’ve sang and I shout it, but I can’t help to wonder why

You got my heart running faster, for worse and for better,

It’s when I look into your eyes that I realize

I never told ya

But it’s when I hold ya

That I get the feeling you’re truly, truly mine

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

You’re lovely

To every single motion

And you keep me

Far from the shadows

My feet

Refusing to touch the ground ever since

But when you’re turning the corner, winter goes warmer as I feel you closer by

You got my heart beating faster, my smile goes to laughter,

it’s when I look into your eyes that I realize

I never told ya

But it’s when I hold ya

That I get the feeling you are truly truly mine

I never told ya

But when I get to hold ya

I feel like I’m falling free in the back of my mind

Won’t you stay for a little while?

All That I Wanted

How wonderful to see you here, my love

The whole world happens when you’re near, my love

The waterfalls, the northern lights above

They’re so insane and so hard to explain

You were all that i wanted, all that I needed

So don’t make me say it, It would just break it, believe me

You were all that I wanted, all I ever needed

Can’t bring myself to say it

I guess I’ll just keep this a secret

So I can keep it, keep it

The earth turns its endless spin, my love

Tornados grow but fail to win, my love

And there’s a place that I keep dreaming of

Away from here, Illogical and fearless

Queen Of The Golden Sounds

She

She turns her head and she

She throws us all right down to the ground

like pins falling in a row

She

She’s smiling back at me

Or maybe she thinks I’m someone else

She can’t remember everything

She’s the queen of the golden sounds

She

She holds her number one

She goes hand in hand,

a baton

In a race,

like a popular song

She’s the queen of the golden sounds

Oh, I’ve learned to keep the truth undercover

Oh, I’ve taught my heart how to stop its beating

Oh, I’ve learned to hide some kinds of feelings

But I’m so tired and I just can’t repeat this

Girl, tonight

I’m crossing the line and

And it will be alright

I’m walking right up to you

Girl, tonight

There’ll be no more waiting around

Girl Tonight

I’ll meet the queen of those golden sounds

The queen of the golden sounds

I can hear the ringing bells, chimes and spells

It’s hard to explain it to you

And I see the tidal waves and I’m not afraid

It’s hard to explain it to you

She

She turns around and she

She waves goodbye and goes back home

Without

Noticing me

She’s the queen of the golden sounds

It Means I Love You

In between our young lives, I feel like there’s an ocean

Tides keep getting high and I can’t stop the motion, commotion

Drinking out of my mind, it means I love you

Wasted every single time, it means I love you

Wild -young -young –wild, it means I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

Pinning your voodoo doll, it means I love you

Falling on the dance hall, it means I love you

To every single love song that says I love you

You were holding someone’s arm, now was that your lover?

Lying on the beach that night, I thought we were getting closer, closer

Lost in the punchline, it means I love you

Speeding through stop signs, it means I love you

Wild -young -young –wild, it means I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

To wake up in a crashed car, it means I love you

Hurting on a stranger’s floor, it means I love you

To every single love song that says I love you

Caught in the fire

So higher

I love you

It keeps burning

And yearning

I love you

No More Tears Running

We turned out the light of the darkest sea

No tears, no tears, no more tears running

Waging our wars, hiding casualties

No tears, no tears, no more tears running

No more years running by us

No more days lost in a haze

No more hours

Just a silent night

I’ll make it all worthwhile

What I wouldn’t give to hold you

Seeing your face through the heavy rain

No tears, no tears, no more tears running

Sleeping in the backseat to see you again

No tears, no tears, those tears are still hurting

No more years running by us

No more days lost in a haze

No more hours

Just a silent night

I’ll make it all worthwhile

What I wouldn’t give to hold you

Just a silent night

I’ll make it all worthwhile

No I won’t let you go

No tears, no tears, no more tears running

It Shall Pass

There’s not a single spark

To ignite all the fireworks that could light up this dark

And when the movie ends, who knows how it began?

Before we say goodbye

Please find the right tone and then go ahead and try

I see clouds taking form, I’m watching the storm from a far

And it’s alright to give in,

I know that most of this will pass

Still all that comes with you will stay,

Like it was built to last

But it shall pass

It shall pass

We won’t get to the part

Where we die and  we ‘re born and we die back to the start

We’ll skip those silly words,  escape the angry mob

Well before all is gone

I’ll take in this moment, I’ll cherish this thought

A ray of sunlight is burning everything in sight,

burning black and white

And it’s alright to give in,

I know that most of this will pass

Still all that comes with you will stay,

Like it was built to last

But it shall pass

It shall pass

At Your Door

I feel tired, I feel undone

I don’t know what was I running from

I woke up and I saw a face

For a moment I thought that you were someone else

Someone real

I played a hero and played it tough

I did my best, I did enough

I stretched my arms around the sun

But they can’t find you in this wilderness of hope

Like I wish they did

Now I’m standing at your door

Will you take me in once more?

I feel calm and I feel safe

I’m all awake, unafraid

In the comfort of the dawn

All over the walls and rooftops of your town

I wrote you name

Now I’m standing at your door

Will you take me in once more?

Now I’m standing at your door

As these tears begin to pour

Now I’m back here at your door

Will you take me in once more?

(are you the one I’ve been waiting for?)

Heartbroken

I was heartbroken

When I met you the first time

I didn’t mean to

To treat you wrong, to be unkind

I was a stranger

Waiting around for love to show its face

I had it in me

But it just kept falling so out of place

And then

I was a liar

I did it to myself for way too long

Then I grew tired and I can’t

I can’t keep the pace, it’s doing me wrong

So I went soul-searching,

I was cloud-hunting, my arms carried every stone

I climbed to the highest mountain,

so I could lay the burden where the shadows meet their bones

I’ll go and drown on that wild sea on my own

Now will you hold on to the other side of the rope

And save me?

I’ve got something in here

Someone who cares

Is this something you want

Now do you want it?

Hidden under my hair

You were shaping your fingers

Like an old broken comb

Now do you want it?

Like an old broken arm

Now do you want it?

How many of you are hidden out there?

You’ve been watching us all along

Now did I see you waiting out there?

I was heartbroken

When I met you the first time

I didn’t mean to hurt you

I was so lost and out of my mind

So I went soul-searching,

I was cloud-hunting, my arms carried every stone

I climbed to the highest mountain,

so I could lay the burden where the shadows meet their bones

So I went soul-searching,

I was cloud-hunting, my heart slipping through my hands

I climbed to the highest mountain,

so I could lay the burden where the shadows meets the man

I’ll go and drown on that wild sea again

Now won’t you at least try to understand

And save me?

On My Feet Again

And then we finished up our number

We shook hands before we ran for cover

Yet we saw the dark side of each other

Oh I’ll be on my feet again

these thoughts, I want to put them away

but my heart will not do as I say

And it seems like such an endless day

Oh I’ll be on my feet again

I’m on my way

I’m on my way to be the one that dreamt some other place

I’m on my way there

I’m on my way

Believe me, I never meant to cause you pain

Oh I’ll be on my feet again

Oh you’ll be on your feet again

Oh I will be myself again

I’ll See You In My Dreams

The city’s gone to sleep

I can hear my footsteps down the street

My mind gets drunk with an old cliche

Escaping from this ordinary day

It runs away

It goes away

It runs away

Until it’s beat

And dies under the sheets

I’ll see you in my dreams

I’ll see you in the sky among kings and queens

I’ll meet you anytime, night or day,

We’ll meet under the stars, we’ll walk unafraid

I’ll hold you in my arms

I’ll listen to your words, lie under your heart

I’ll meet you anytime, night or day

I’ll see you in my dreams, in my dreams I’ll wait

All awake

And I’ll wait

And you’ll stay

Every little thing

Every place that we have ever been

It’s all there but impossible to touch

It’s all too real, it’s all too much

And I know

Where I’ll go

And I know

The state I’m in

It crawls up to my skin
