I travelled on the waves
Crossed the sea and sky
Just to see your face
I wandered from afar
I looked everywhere
But I still don’t know where you are

I tried to find out what I don’t know
But gave up long ago
Time seems to pass so slow
‘Cause I still need you so

So I wonder where you’ve been
Seemed so hard sometimes
Just to let you in

If you think you’re right
To make me feel this way
You’re not so don’t refrain
It hurts more than I could ever say
To see you walk away

You never said goodbye
I made up my mind
Said I wouldn’t cry

If you think you’re right
To make me feel this way
You’re not so don’t refrain
It hurts more than I could ever say
To see you walk away

 

& the state of Michigan looks good tonight
Was it what you wanted to see
If you close your eyes you can be there
England to Chicago O’ Hare, Traverse City
Flashing past like scenes in epic motion picture camera captures only
Fragments never quite what’s happening

From this runway closest is furthest away
From this window home is pinpricked on a map, destination
Feel the push and pull of it from miles away

You’ve got to get back to know where you’ve been
Show me things I’ve read about in books but never seen
Friends back in my town they keep on calling
Makes me wonder what I’m missing
Guess I just wasn’t looking
For the joy in all of us is surely only ever to be free
I got lost in the wind and trees
Found myself here

Stand still the world keeps spinning
I’m not even moving
Stand right where you are
Stand here
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Pack my suitcase and leave
It’s a long way to my house

& the state of Michigan looks good tonight
Was it what you wanted to see

 

From the pages of the book I’ve been turning over and over
How many times I’ve tried it’s about losing the fear
Of don’t want to just make do with, comfortable is not enough
Dismantled ideal we’ve dreamed up and then forgot to feel

I want fireworks, fascination that captivates me and never fades out

‘Cause the book isn’t always right and no one said it shouldn’t be rewritten by someone who could just make sense of it
Things are never the way they are in fairy tales and who would want them to be, not me

But would you beg to differ if intent remains unspoken glowing in your imagination
Unearth the answers ‘cos there is so much suppression
Will you give me sanctuary, space in which to set myself free
An exemption from burning out
I go through motions touch you can’t even feel when all I want to feel is alive
See you sparkle on the outside but do you feel inside
Sense this somehow reverberates deeper
Forgot to feel something, forever fascinated, did you ever wonder if I did?

When the pretty decoration, fantasy is stripped away what will the underneath exposed reveal say?

There are fireworks, fascination captives me and never fades out
All the colours of this world are on display for you to paint precious
Cover over run drip from every page

I am fascinated

 

Me and my mouse
In this big house
All the time we hide here but I still think of you
When you were here
It was the best thing ever
Open the front door come in out of the weather

You’d tell me off for wearing next to nothing
Whilst walking in the rain
Make me make you tea and if it was wrong I’d start again
You know I would

Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know now
But you know that you gave the world to me
I thought you should know
That it’s never easy
To be here and not think of you now

On the 8th floor
Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know

On the 8th floor
Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know

On the 8th floor
Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know now

Missing him like you and I do
Miss you all of the time
‘Cause you gave the world to me
And I hope you know
That I’ll leave a mark on it
For the places you didn’t go
Where did you go

On the 8th floor
Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know now

On the 8th floor
Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know now

On the 8th floor
Never thought you’d be alone
Never thought you’d be afraid
Of what you don’t know now

On the 8th floor

I’ve been watching you from afar
Just to find out where you are
Seeing in a different light
There’s no wonder you’re not around tonight

I’m not something you can fashion
Something you can refine
I won’t let me be your subject
I won’t let me read between your lines

‘Cause you have tried to model me
Into something I could never be

Am I a part of your grand design
Will you make me into something I’m not
Change what you can’t define
After you’ve come to your conclusion
After you’ve analysed
Will I still be a part of your grand design

I don’t think so
But you hope so
You would think so
But you know that it’s not so now

The bigger picture
Can’t see you in it
The bigger picture
You’re not in it

I’m not a part of your grand design
I won’t change what I want for what you like
Change what makes me who I am for anyone
Change what makes me who I am for anyone
For you

 

I’ve been waiting for the clock to stop
So I can buy another battery
But it’s just too late to save myself
From the fire inside me
I would run all day and all night to get away
But it’s always with me
And I think it’s here to stay

And if walls have ears why don’t they listen to me
Because no one else will
No one will listen to me

Sort of sort out busting out
Past a frame of mind
I’m stopping the clock that’s always ticking
And I’m leaving time behind
S, I, double L, Y so you are
Catch you you’ve resigned
You quit the things you’ve always hated
But is this your design

And if walls have ears why don’t they listen to me
Because no one else will
No one will listen to me

And tell me no if I have your design
Stuck against my head between my eyes
And tell me yes
Stop the press

And if walls have ears why don’t they listen to me
Because no one else will
No one will listen to me

And tell me no if I have your design
Stuck against my head between my eyes
And tell me yes
Stop the press
Stop the press

 

Wake me up from what I’ve been dreaming
Repeats on itself
Repeats on itself to find the beginning of falling
With no one to catch me
And I hope that gravity sometimes
Pulls through on occasion
Just like you
But you’ll never know
But I know

I know where you are
You’ll go far
You don’t want to stay
You don’t want me to feel this way

I remember everything you said
Words they touched me in my head
And I know by now
That all of this beautiful feeling is kept
From ever living or breathing
Falling in spaces where the time stops
Why won’t everything just stop

I know where you are
You’ll go far
You don’t want to stay
You don’t want me to feel this way

‘Cause you can be anything you want to be
So don’t look back
Don’t look for me now

 

It’s not so hard to see why people repel from you
The plague you created all the shit you pull
You wanted a problem well now you’ve got one look what you’ve done
Of all the dark chasms you crawled down in your head
This one is the worst dive you’ve dug yourself out of yet
Took me apart to collapse under the weight of every mistake you ever made
It’s a cataclysm you’re an aneurysm when you’re chairman of the board of your own bad decisions
It’s a cataclysm you’re an aneurysm look what you’ve done

Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done
See what’s become of this constant state of disarray
All you wanted is reciprocal pain
I’ve got your fix I’ve got your retribution reign, now reign

I got you all figured out, without a doubt, you wanna see me fade, been wasting away
I got you all figured out, without a doubt, you wanna see me fade, well not today

I’d like to see you try to bring me down well what do you know you did it just for fun
Now who’s the one who can’t stand to lose
All your schemin’ backfired when you shot off your own foot
You’re gonna get all that’s headin’ your way no return to reason just hate post haste
Nosferatu stalkin’ in the broad light of day look what you’ve done

Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done

So poisonous, insipid, disgusting, possessive a blood suckin’ soul of a broken sick man
Hanging on to bleed the life out of me in any way that you can

I hope you know now that I know now what you’re all about
Yeah, yeah, got you where I wanted and now I got it figured out

 

Intentively play with your eyes closed
I want you to prove to me who you are
‘Cause there’s a girl lost in your town
Sittin’ where I left her with her guitar
She left her head in your suitcase
Right out there on the doorstep
And I hope that you will come back
You can come to my house and you can
Bring her back

‘Cause she is kept in the night
By the muses you communicate through
A connection a computer and a memory
She is sending feelings
Electronically attached
Are parts that you can’t get back
When you hit the button

She is wondering if a phone line can portray emotion
From the cables that run underground across the ocean
She is wondering if a phone line can portray affection
Faster than the speed of light
All the way across the ocean

I’m still trying to find you in my time

She is wondering if a phone line can portray emotion
From the cables that run underground across the ocean
She is wondering if a phone line can portray affection
Faster than the speed of light
All the way across the ocean

She is wondering if a phone line can portray emotion
From the cables that run underground across the ocean
She is wondering if a phone line can portray affection
Did I say before that I thought that there was a connection

 

Something’s stirring in your head tonight
Keep it safe don’t let it slip away now
Too hard to hold on to or keep locked up tight
Just keep on trying ’cause I know you’re right
Underestimated in your head
The pictures you contemplated were too hard to forget
And now they linger
Too close to the bone
This picture is changing as you cry alone

You’re afraid and I don’t blame you for what you are
‘Cause you stepped out of line and now you’re living with the scars
And if time taints you then say goodnight
And I’ll cover grey sky with this smile of mine

Safe now are the secrets you kept
And gone at last are the tears we wept
And in your mind there lays a frame
For a pretty picture so full of blame

You’re afraid and I don’t blame you for what you are
‘Cause you stepped out of line and now you’re living with the scars
And if time taints you then say goodnight
And I’ll cover the grey sky
With this smile of mine
With this smile of mine
With this smile of mine

So cry for blue sky in my eyes
Above the grey clouds
The light’s too bright
So wrap up your feelings
And put them away
For past the mirror there shines a brighter day

 

I’ve been watching
I’ve been wondering for a while
When was the last time I made you happy
Tell me what to do to make you smile
It was a sunny day somewhere far away
Until the clouds came down and touched the ground

And all the colours they went away
They left me with black and white
And nothing else to say

But it doesn’t really matter in these situations

I’ve been looking for something that I can’t find
I’ve been watching it slip away over time
Trying to find the right words but they never come
And there’s a song playing on the radio
I don’t like it but it means more than you could ever know

But you should know by now
You should’ve learnt your lesson
You know by now
You should’ve learnt something

You’re caught up in something
You wish you never got that far
Hoping and praying that things don’t stay the way they are
But wanting and wishing are both two very different things

 

If what you got was more than you wanted
There’s nothing left for you to take
Would it be too much to ask for
To give me just another day

If I could stand in your place
That would be just fine
And if I could you know I would
I’d read your mind

If all you have is never enough
Then get used to life ’cause it seems that way
Don’t ever wish for the things that you can’t have
And you’ll be happier this way

‘Cause you’ve no more time for feeling fine
A smile that fades upon your face
Letting sadness win you
Is not advised in this place
You will feel just fine

 

I should be happy
But I’m not and it makes me sad
I can’t change the way things are that have been

I know that I was wrong and I can’t make it right
It’s too late to save me
And now I realise
I can’t let go even though I’ve tried

It won’t leave me alone
It won’t leave me alone
It won’t leave me alone

Feels like running out
But I don’t know which way to run to

It will be somewhere you can’t find me
I’ll run away from it all
You will leave me alone
I will be on my own
I’ll decide what’s right
‘Cause it hurts to love you on my own
I need you more than you could know
You know I tried to let go of you
Today

 

Sunday morning a day’s gone by
I’m wanting to run from here
Far away
Walking in circles going out of my mind
Wanting to go somewhere

Take in a deep breath only one at a time
Count the hours till I feel fine again
Get back to being myself
Give it a try

‘Cause I know where I wanna go
So why do I have to fight it so hard

Make me feel bad to love you
Sometimes it’s hard to be happy
Make me feel bad to love you
When all I want to be is happy

I could be happy living alone
Do what I want when I want
It’s funny how things change when you let go

Make me feel bad to love you
Sometimes it’s hard to be happy
Make me feel bad to love you
When all I want to be is happy

 

What to do today
When everyone keeps talking at me
What will you prove today?
What will you make us believe?
I’d be eternally grateful to be someone you didn’t like
Then you would forget about me
It wouldn’t mean anything

Turning pages
Headlines in bold typeface
On the newsstand
You can read all about it
You can read all about it
In the media
Is this a fallacy?

Don’t believe what the papers say

Truth leaves more to be desired
Than the lies that you conspire to
And all the pictures on the front page
You’ve got a lot of lies for your money

Well, all this controversy
Counterfeit genuine claim
You’re preaching
Pushing the limit
Pushing the limit
Pushing the limit

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will always hurt me more than
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will always hurt me more than anything

All the defamation, revelation, gloss and misinterpretation
Allegation spin on who’s in what you got falsification
Evident misinformation, nation hyped in publication
Document of current affairs, pictures on the front page

See you got a lot of lies for your money
You got a lot of lies for your money

The broadsheet word on the street
It says “sensationalism
I love you”

 

Wrap me up in the night-time
Fall asleep in bed
Turn off all of the lights
So we can turn off the world tonight
All the people on the outside
Intent on looking in
Can’t see just what they’re missing
It’s 5 A.M

And to you the only person understands me in this world
A spark flew from the wire touched on a nerve
Turned on all the lights in my head
When I looked at you
Little switch turn on the faders
Take the pictures of you

Keep me forever here
Don’t leave till it gets light
‘Cause I’ve been saving up these feelings for a long time
All the moments all the hours
That you stayed away
That you stayed away

And to you the only person understands me in this world
A spark flew from the wire touched on a nerve
Turned on all the lights in my head
When I looked at you
When I looked at you
When I looked at you
When I looked at you
When I looked at you
