( ANGELS ) ( HUMANS )
I keep a lamp over you, glowing in my heart | to keep from tripping over troublesome thoughts in the dark| we ain't that different, we huddle underneath the same stars | I see who you really are | you're every creature, every man, every woman and child | you're the closest thing I'll ever get to knowing god | like the sun to the moon, I'll send my love and light | a love like ours, it'll fill the whole sky |
but i just want to say thank you for all the time that you stayed by my side. what a wonderful feeling to feel like everything is right. what a wonderful feeling to know that everything is fine |
but did you see the flares in the sky / were you blinded by the light / did you feel the smoke in your eyes / did you, did you / did you see the sparks filled with hope / you are not alone / cause someone's out there / sending out flares |
remember not our rusted parts / it's not the petty imperfections that define us but / the way we hold our hearts / and the way we hold our heads / i hope they write your names beside mine / on my gravestone when i'm dead / and when we're dead let our voices carry on / to find a better song / to find a better song and sing along |
I can move mountains / I can work a miracle, work a miracle / Oh, oh, keep you like an oath / May nothing but death do us part |
to hear me shouting at my youth / i need a way to sort it out / after i die, i’ll re-awake / redefine what was at stake / from the hindsight of a god / i’ll see the people that i used / see the substance i abused / the ugly places that i lived / did i make money, was i proud? / did i play my songs too loud? / did i leave my life to chance / or did i make you fucking dance? |
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier / I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist / Like it doesn't exist / I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry / I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier |
I won't let you fall, I won't let you go / no matter where you are / no matter where you are, I'll be there / I will hold on to everything we've got / a quitter, a regretter, and forgetter is everything I'm not / I'll take care of you and love you just because / you and I are better than forever, nothing can stop us |
the wasted years | the wasted youth | the pretty lies | the ugly truth | the day has come | where i have died | only to find i've come alive. |
they said "a pox upon your house, upon your family and everyone you knew, and everyone you'll ever meet." i bet they think we wish we joined when we could, but we do what we want, we don't do what we should. now, everybody's laughing, 'cause they're thinking they're in on something i don't get. don't forget: i connect and i read every word you said. |
and all the while i say too much of what i think / and i can't remember what it's like to find meaning in anything / for the life of me / everyone i used to know / says they don't know what i've become / but i'm still the same / not much has changed / i still know where I came from / and all i ever wanted was so far from what i need / i'll write my songs, they'll sing along, and hope time heals everything / i fell asleep with the lights on |
well, i came home / like a stone / and i fell heavy into your arms / these days of dust / which we've known / will blow away with this new sun / but i'll kneel down / wait for now / and i'll kneel down / know my ground / and i will wait, i will wait for you |
you've fallen barefoot past the treeline / beaten, boned-eyed, butchered, swayed / a thousand whitefish floating belly up / in the spirit that i crave / and we threw ourselves right into it / where lay the bodies had been claimed / we dove a third out for the fifth / banned to the spirit that i crave / all i need is some sunshine |
when busy streets amass with people / would stop to hold their heads heavy / hide and seek / trains and sewing machines / all those years they were here first / oily marks appear on walls / where pleasure moments hung before/ the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life. |
when i lay my head down to go to sleep at night my dreams consist of things that'll make you wanna hide. don't let me in ya your tower; show me your magic powers - i'm not afraid to face a little bit of danger. i want the love, the money, and the perfect ending - you want the same as i. so stop pretending, i wanna show you how good we could be together. i wanna love you through the night, we'll be a sweet disaster. |
how my dreams they spin me 'round, and how my dreams they let me down. and how my thoughts they spin me 'round, and how my thoughts they let me down. and then there's you. then there's you. |
So when your hope's on fire | but you know your desire | Don't hold a glass over the flame | Don't let your heart grow cold | I will call you by name | I will share your road |
