Lift up yourself to find a road Lift up yourself to find a road You cast the gaze You cast the line you're on You make it made You blink and now you're gone You know you wanted to be You know you wanted to see; to feel alive. Takes little effort at all to feel alive. And I felt the same way Wake up, my love; wake up my love Lift up yourself to find a road Lift up yourself to find a road You cast the gaze You cast the line you've drawn You might amaze You blink and now you're gone Wake up, my love. Wake up my love.

You're lucky to be here so happy to go you can't really fix it all you pretend not to know you live just to sit down and you ignore the flow your mind tries to lock it all down you pretend not to show. You're lucky to be here So willing to go you try hard to interfere but pretend not to know you beg not to fall down but you refuse to grow you lock up the fuses all down preparations to go ...

All you want what's on your mind All you want what's on your mind I just wanted to remind All you want to speak too much All you want to speak too much I just want to know your touch All you want what's all in place All you want what's all in place I just want to see your face All you want what's always here All you want what's always here for you You're an easy love to give You're an easy love to have I just want to want you, love You're an easy love to give You're an easy love to have I just want to want you, love Don't you want to be in place? Don't you want to be in place? I just want to touch your face Don't you want to take a while? I just want to watch your eyelids smile You're an easy love to have You're an easy love to give I just want to say hello You're an easy love to have You're an easy love to give I just want to say hello Don't you want what's all in place? Don't you want what's all in place? I just want to touch your face Don't you want what's always here? I just wanna watch your eyes fall, dear ( and i want to give you more. )

I woud **** the world, but I wouldn't **** you over I would start again, but I wouldn't hand you over I would listen now and you wouldn't have to borrow I would be here now and you wouldn't have to follow And I promise to be true And I will not turn around Cause I don't want to leave you While you're waiting to be found. Cause if I just walk away, well then you might vanish, too Every time someone figures it out I think that's impossible Sometimes we can hold it about and it looks natural You're shake never leaves my eyes as you turn toward the shore You're shake has a wild surprise and I can't ask for more And I wouldn't walk away And I wouldn't turn around Because I wonder if you'll stay I am waiting to be found And I will not pass you by This is something I can't miss And if I don't move right now you might vanish in the mist... This is what life's all about, this is what life's all about. These small moments make us free. This is what life's all about. This is where I want to be ...

Drinking a warm coffee Feeling a worn sweater Reading about science in the morning paper Watch the daylight stream through these forgotten curtains The dust dances patiently Your heart beat is uncertain. I haven't been outside yet, I'm taking a warm shower The water feels like secrets. My thoughts begin to flower Molecules rinse off me Where is the ghost you saw? Drinking a warm coffee, listening to these walls *** (In the morning there is yearning, in the nighttime there is nothing, under stars we are transferring, in the day we are transforming, and your memories are the ghosts here, as you watch the dust your thoughts clear open, open, open ... )

You drove all night again To see the view A subtle vacation The fault-lines grew A broken paragraph Against the wall You maybe wanted that The house got small All we want to feel they want to take All we want is real they make it fake All we had to give, they won't return We just want to live We watch it burn You drove all night and day The hands will bloom The vacant train delays We shook too soon I crossed in front of ya And found a wall Across America the roads got small All we want to feel, they want to take What we want is real, they make it fake All we had to give, they won't return We just want to live We watch it burn
