The Script - tekstovi pesama

"It's Not Right For You"

My head, my head is full of things that I should've done
My heart, my heart is heavy, and it sinks like a stone

She said, "Is this the life you've been dreaming of
Spending half the day away from the things you love?
It's not too late to do something new."

She said, "It's hard enough trying to live your life.
But not following your dreams made you dead inside.
If you don't love what you do."

It's not right, it's not right for you
If you even have to think about it
It's not right, it's not right for you
If you really have to think about it
You got one life to love what you do

My hands, my hands are scarred by things I shouldn't have done
My feet, my feet are weary from all the miles that I've run

She said, "Open your mind, take a look within.
Are you happy with the world that you're living in?
If not, you gotta change what you do."

She said, "And lately I don't see you smile a lot.
Are you happy here with me and the things we've got?
If you can't say that it's true."

It's not right, it's not right for you
If you even have to think about it
It's not right, it's not right for you
If you really have to think about it
You got one life to love what you do

If we don't do something now then we'll never know
If we stay here too long then we will never go
So, before it's too late and it's killing you, yeah
We've only one life to live. So love what you do

It's not right, it's not right for you
If you even have to think about it
It's not right, it's not right for you
If you really have to think about it
You got one life to love what you do

In the end, in the end
Better hope that you're taking it all in
In the end, in the end
You got one life to love what you do
In the end, in the end
Better hope that you're taking it all in
In the end, in the end
You got one life to love what you do

"Flares"

Did you lose what won't return?
Did you love but never learn?
The fire's out but still it burns
And no one cares
There's no one there

Did you find it hard to breathe?
Did you cry so much that you could barely see?
In the darkness all alone
And no one cares
There's no one there

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? (Did you?)
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope
That you are not alone?
'Cause someone's out there
Sending out flares

Did you break but never mend?
Did it hurt so much you thought it was the end?
Lose your heart but don't know when
And no one cares
There's no one there

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? (Did you?)
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope
That you are not alone?
'Cause someone's out there
Sending out flares
Someone's out there
Sending out flares

Did you lose what won't return?
Did you love but never learn?

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? (Did you?)
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope
That you are not alone?
'Cause someone's out there
Sending out flares

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? (Did you?)
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope
That you are not alone?
'Cause someone's out there
Sending out flares
 
"Army Of Angels"

When love’s a battle
And life’s a war
When I just can’t go on fighting anymore
When I’m surrounded
And they’re closing in
When I feel the bullets graze against my skin

This world’s a war zone
But I’ve got a shield
And I won’t surrender
'Cause your love feels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels

Hey hey
If hate is poison then loves the cure
And it’s you that drives the demons from my door
When they got me cornered
Close to giving in
Oh, I feel you round me like a second skin

This world’s a war zone
But I’ve got a shield
And I won’t surrender
'Cause your love feels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels

Through the flames and the fire I will go
'Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone
Through the flames and the fire I will go
'Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone

Oh, what a beautiful sight whoa
A hundred thousand soldiers in the sky whoa
I don’t need to worry tonight
With you by my side, yeah

Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels, angels, angels

Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels
Like an army of angels

Through the flames and the fire I will go
'Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone
Through the flames and the fire I will go
'Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone
 
"Never Seen Anything "Quite Like You""

I think I want you more than want
And know I need you more than need
I wanna hold you more than hold
When you stood in front of me
I think you know me more than know
And you see me more than see
I could die now more than die
Every time you look at me

Well I've seen you in jeans with no make-up on
And I've stood there in awe as your date for the prom
I'm blessed as a man to have seen you in white
But I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
No, I've never seen anything quite like you

When it's right it's more than right
Cause you feel it more than feel
I could take this moment now
Right into the grave with me

Oh well I've seen you in jeans with no make-up on
And I've stood there in awe as your date for the prom
I'm blessed as a man to have seen you in white
But I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
No, I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
No, I've never seen anything quite like you tonight

In your eyes oh in your eyes
In our hearts yeah in our hearts
Sometimes words just ain't enough
For this love that's more than love

Well I've seen you in jeans with no make-up on
And I've stood there in awe as your date for the prom
I'm blessed as a man to have seen you in white
But I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
No, I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
No, I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
 
"Paint The Town Green"

I know you're missing home
It's been so long since you've been
And that life you had in Dublin
Now ain't nothing but a dream
To be right there in the moment
You'd give anything to be

It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Your friends are on the phone there
It's so close to Paddy's Day
And it kills you not to be there
But life got in the way
If I had to break the bank
Spend every penny on your dreams

It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our own
It's just you and me

It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

And we travel on the subway
Like it was the Luas line
Chase the Hudson to the Liffey
Where we kissed for the first time
Turn the city into Dublin
Yeah, wherever we may be

It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our own
It's just you and me

It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our own
It's just you and me

It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

Paint the town green
Paint the town green
 
"Without Those Songs"

Would Dylan be just a poet?
Would Bono ever know it
Without those songs?

Would Marley be just a stoner?
Johnny Cash just be a loner
Without those songs?

Would Buddy Holly have disappeared?
Or would Lennon still be here
Without those songs?

What happened in their lives,
What happened in their hearts
To make them wanna write the words
That gonna tear this world apart?

The beauty of their lives
Is when they're dead and gone
The world still sings along.
When anything went right,
When anything went wrong
They put it in a song.

Would Elvis be just a look,
Or the Rolling Stones be stuck
Without those songs?

Would Sinatra be just a gangster,
Or would Jackson be just a dancer
Without those songs?

Would Madonna be just a face,
Or Nirvana be just a place
Without those songs?

What happened in their lives,
What happened in their hearts
To make them wanna write the words
That gonna tear this world apart?

The beauty of their lives
Is when they're dead and gone
The world still sings along.
When anything went right,
When anything went wrong
They put it in a song.

When anything went right
When anything went wrong
They put it in a song.

Oh, who would make us see,
And where would we all be
Without those songs?
Without those songs?
 
"Hail Rain Or Sunshine"

We're late to bed
We're early to rise
Wipe the sleep from our eyes

We head to work
We catch a lift
We have a smoke and we start the shift

We open up
We start to wake
Maybe it's gonna be our day
And suddenly
We start to smile
The sun is up for a while

And you may see this place and find no worth
But it's our little piece of heaven here on Earth

Yeah, we always have a good time
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine
Yeah, we're all living the good life
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

We reach the top
We took the fall
But we laughed through it all
'Cause dreaming of them better days
Has always been our way

And you may see my friends and find no worth
But, no, I'll never go and change them for the world

Yeah, we always have a good time
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine
Yeah, we're all living the good life
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

Come on

Yeah, we always have a good time
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine

Always have a good time
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine
Yeah, we're all living the good life
Whether it's hail rain or in sunshine
 
"Howl At The Moon"

When I was younger
I'd pray for thunder
A thousand angels banging on their chairs
The white of all the lightning was never that frightening
Like cameras all flashing in the air

And oh, after it would clear
The wonders of the universe they seem so near

Lying in my backyard
Head is facing skyward
I'd imagine all the things that I could be
A pilot or a fighter
An astronaut or writer
Anything except just being me

And oh, the bells would start to ring
Words came to my head and I would start to sing

With the moon as the spotlight
That shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd
And I swore I was already there
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon

Now that I'm older
And life's a little colder
You're told you need to let go of your dreams
Everything changes
They stare at blank pages
I had the dream but couldn't find the key

But oh, some nights I hear the strings
These melodies in my head I have to sing

With the moon as the spotlight
That shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd
And I swore I was already there

I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon

It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder

With the moon as the spotlight
That shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd
And I swore I was already there

I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
 
"Good Ol' Days"

Up in the bar all smoking cigars
While we were drinking Irish whiskey straight from the jar
Talkin' 'bout them better days are not that far
Whoever's coming back to mine you better bring the guitar
You play a sad song, yea sing it from the heart
Tell a sad story, yea tell it from the start
Pass me on the pain that you made into art
Yea, pierce it through my skin like a heroin dart
When someone strummin' on the strings and they're spittin' things,
Everybody's movin' groovin' vibes when the other sings
They gon' kill you with the passion and the soul
When the first verse drops, you be fighting back the tears and all
While another man's crying in his beers and all
While his woman is sayin' cheers to it all
Ain't no shame in the game, just the way we were raised
To always sing about better days, better days

Ooh ooh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray
Cause in the future these will be the good ol' days
Ooh ooh, yeah we're arm in arm as we sing away
In the future these will be the good ol' days

Ten o'clock and it's off, what started as a pub crawl
Now we're all lost
Better live it out tonight, tomorrow's gonna cost
So get up on that piano boy and play your ass off
If you play it real good, everybody sings along
If you bang us out a beat, everybody move along
Play us somethin' real we can hang our hopes on
Sing a rebel song and watch us march along
Won't you come along? (Oh, these times are hard)
And meet Jenny, meet Pete, meet Mary, meet Keith
They're busking on the street seven days a week
Pay a pound, pay a penny, make it full or leave it empty
They play, you listen, that's plenty
It's two am now, we're dancing in the rain and all
Hanging out of each other like the pain is gone
These are my people, these are my crowd
And I'm never too proud to sing about 'em

Ooh ooh, we'll remember this night when we're old and gray
Cause in the future these will be the good ol' days
Ooh ooh, yeah we're arm in arm as we sing away
In the future these will be the good ol' days
The good ol', the good ol' days [x8]

Ooh ooh I got the whole place singin' yea, singin' this song
Even the old man there with the paddy hat on
Is singin' woohoo (come on sing it sing it, ooh ooh)
I got the whole place singin' yea, singin' this song
Even the girl over there with the red dress on
Singin' woohoo (she singin', ooh ooh)
Oh, I got the whole bar drinkin' yeah, singin' this tune
And the guys over there with the big tattoos
Are singin' woohoo, drinkin' and singin', ooh ooh
The emo girls with the college degrees
And the tag along friends with the fake ID's
Singin' woohoo, oh singin' yeah

Ooh ooh, we're arm in arm as we sing away
In the future these will be the good ol' days
The good ol', the good ol' days [x8]

The good ol' days, yeah
The good ol' days

"If You Could See Me Now"

(Oh if you could see me now)

(Oh if you could see me now)

It was February 14 Valentine's Day
The roses came but they took you away
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad you should see the tours that I'm on
I see you standing there next to Mom
Both singing along, yeah arm in arm
Now there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great
He'd say "Music was the home for your pain"
And explain I was young, he would say,
"Take that rage, put it on a page.
Take the page to the stage.
Blow the roof off the place."
I'm trying to make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God saying, "That's my kid!"

[Chorus:]
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

(Oh if you could see me now)

If you could see me now would you recognize me?
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me?
Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face
Put your hand on a heart that was cold
As the day you were taken away?
I know it's been a while but I can see you clear as day
Right now, I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much, and I smoke too much dutch
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must
You used to say I won't know a win until it cost me
Like I won't know real love 'til I've loved and I've lost it
So if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you've lost a dad then someone's lost a son
And they're all missing out, yeah they're all missing out
So if you get a second to look down on me now
Mom, Dad I'm just missing you now

I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

Oh, oh
Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me a loser or winner?
Oh, oh
When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me shiver

I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Yeah I'm just missing you now

I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

You could see, you could see me now [2x]
 
"Glowing"

You knocked me sideways
When you said that you were leaving.
It knocked me over
When you cried and told the truth.
And it left me speechless
The secrets you've been keeping
You're running now, 'cause someone's chasing you

And you bought a ticket
But you don't know where you're going
And you won't tell me
For fear I'll follow suit
And you're tryin' to save me
From your past of bad decisions
But my decision's always gonna be
To follow you (to follow you)

Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin'
Never gonna quit 'til my legs stop kickin'
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)
No I'm never givin' up 'til my heart stops beatin'
Never lettin' go 'til my lungs stop breathing
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)

No, I
And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (ooh)

I woke up this morning
To a kiss just like a whisper
An empty suitcase
And I knew that you were gone
And you left the motel
And you headed north of nowhere
But the lady on the door said
You haven't left that long, long, no...

Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin'
Never gonna quit 'til my legs stop kickin'
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)
No I'm never givin' up 'til my heart stops beatin'
Never lettin' go 'til my lungs stop breathing
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)

No, I
And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (ooh ooh ohh)
And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (ooh ooh ohh)

I asked her why she's running away.
Said she was born to live this way,
Bad man's gonna take her away, take her away, yeah

I asked her why she's running away,
Said she was born to live this way,
I'll never let a bad man take you away, take you away

No, I'll
Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin'
Never gonna quit 'til my legs stop kickin'
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)
No I'm never givin' up 'til my heart stops beatin'
Never lettin' go 'til my lungs stop breathing
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (yeah yeah)

No, I
And we don't even know where were going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (ooh ooh ohh)
And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (ooh ooh ohh)

Yeah we drove all night with all we got
Yeah we had everything we own in a cardboard box
Yeah we drove all night with all we got
Yeah we had everything we own in a cardboard box
Yeah we drove all night with all we got babe
We have everything we own in a cardboard box

To your brother, to your sister
To your missus, to your mister
To your friends, to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes

Evil comes from the top and it spreads right round
If you treat a man wrong, he's gon' pass it on down
To the next in line, who's probably his wife
Bringin' up his kids now watchin' momma cry
And they pick it up cause they learn everything
Life has a funny way of going in a ring
End up growing up in trouble with the law
Standing in the cuffs that the father once wore

Now it seems that every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in the foundation
They're trying to fill the holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost its trust, yeah (that's lost its trust)
We gotta change before the train leaves the station
And realize that revolution ain't a revelation
It takes blood, sweat, tears and innovation
It starts with us (it starts with us)

Yeah it starts by givin' love to your brother, givin' love to your sister
Givin' love to your missus, love to your mister
Givin' love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Givin' love to your brother, givin' love to your sister
Givin' love to your missus, love to your mister
Givin' love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes

Oh, we're all just spokes workin' in a wheel
Spinnin' all around life's cruel battlefield
Draw a circle in the sand on a rainy day, watch it wash away
I bet is shows up on a sunny beach a thousand miles away
A flutter from a butterfly cause a storm
Over half a million people die
But we don't care because we're all desensitized
We don't realize we're putting all this shit before our children's eyes

Now every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in the foundation
They're trying to fill the holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost its trust, yeah (that's lost its trust)
We gotta change before the train leaves the station
And realize that revolution ain't a revelation
It takes blood, sweat, tears and innovation
It starts with us (it starts with us)

Yeah it starts by givin' love to your brother, givin' love to your sister
Givin' love to your missus, love to your mister
Givin' love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Givin' love to your brother, givin' love to your sister
Givin' love to your missus, love to your mister
Givin' love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes

See the thing about karma is she loves a bit of drama
Yeah loves to hunt you down and pay you back for the things you did
Before you turn a positive to a negative
Better pray you know exactly who the **** you're dealing with
No this is not a dress rehearsal, let me tell you kid
Whatever you put out there's coming back again
Years may burn (oh), tables gonna turn
And karma's comin' back around
Either way you're gonna learn
To give love to your neighbour, love to yourself
It don't matter 'bout your status
Man, your health is your wealth
We can all point the finger but
There's four pointing back at yourself
I'll be the bigger man, now give a little help

Givin' love to your brother, givin' love to your sister
Givin' love to your missus, love to your mister
Givin' love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Givin' love to your brother, givin' love to your sister
Givin' love to your missus, love to your mister
Givin' love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Love to your friends, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Around it goes, around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Around it goes, around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Around it goes, around it goes
Around it goes, around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
 
"Broken Arrow"

This time he's gonna wear an iron suit
This time she's gonna fix her heart and make it bulletproof
He says he's gonna take a bite from the forbidden fruit
She says never never bite more than you can chew
But this time he's not gonna be another could have been
This time she's gonna get real, love the skin she's in
He says a winner never quits, quitters never win
She says this time that she is built to face anything
This time he's gonna stand for who he is
This time she's gonna live to work, she's not working to live
He says just because you say it's true, it don't mean it is
She says if it seems too good to be true, well then it probably is
This time he's hell bent, yeah he's heaven bound
This time she's gonna pick herself up, no more breaking down
He says he's gonna turn the wheel, turn this shit around
She says if he's looking for love then she don't want to be found, no

When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow
It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and narrow
When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow
You fall off course,
Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound

This time he's gonna make it through the aftermath
This time she's gonna raise her head and choose the righteous path
He says one day we will look back and it will make us laugh
She says better to have and not need, than to need and not have
No matter what the cost, it's better to have loved and lost
Have you ever met a man who never loved at all?
Yeah the higher they are the bigger they fall
You have to choose something cause you can't have it all
No, he's not gonna be the last to the finish line
She says think big, cause even losers get lucky sometimes
He says it's gonna get better like a fine wine
She says it's hard to smell the roses when the sun don't shine
This time he's gonna find another way
This time she's gonna take it to the good ol' days
With no airs or graces, only warm embraces
We're just two little street angels with dirty faces

When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow
It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and narrow
When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow
You fall off course,
Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound

Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound
Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound

Every break, every burn, every toss, every turn, every sin,
Everything you've learned it's all programmed, all programmed
Every break, every burn, every toss, every turn, every sin,
Everything we've learned it's all programmed, all programmed
When you hit the ground,
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound

Shoot across the sky like a broken arrow
It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and narrow
When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow
You fall off course,
Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound

Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound
Yeah when you hit the ground
It's hard to get to heaven when you're born hell bound

"Kaleidoscope"

Give me highs, give me lows,
Give me thorns with my rose
I want everything
When you laugh, when you cry,
If you're sober or high,
I want everything

Give me love or hate,
You can bend me 'til I break
Give me fire, give me rain,
I want joy with my pain
I want your fears, your hopes,
The whole kaleidoscope

With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide

Give me life, give me death,
All your biggest regrets,

Our colours come alive when I collide
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide
With you, oh oh ooh yeah

Without you it's shadows, the night's black pitch,
There's a hundred thousand light bulbs but there ain't no switch
Living in darkness, fearin' the night,
Oh what a feeling when I see that light

With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide
With you, oh oh ooh yeah
 
"No Words"

I could talk all day long about the news,
Giving you the current affairs with my views
I could talk all night long about a song,
Giving you the pointers on where you're going wrong.
I could talk all year long about the net
Sending you the links I think you haven't seen yet.
I'd like to tell you things that I think you never heard, but there are no words

I could talk all day long about dreams,
Sewing up your heart so you never see a seam.
I could talk all day about politics,
All of the corruption, clean hands, dirty tricks
But what can I say
About something that blows me away
Without it soundin' like another cliché?
From what I've seen and I've heard,
When it comes to you, baby, no, there are no, there are no words.

There are no words,
Yeah, I swear this much is true,
There ain't a word in this world that describes you

I can talk all day long about life,
After so many wars, how we're all still alive.
I could speak all night long about the world,
How it took me thirty years just to find one girl.
I could shoot shit for days all about guitars,
A Gibson or a Fender, it depends on who you are.
But when I try to say something that you never heard,
There are no words

I could burn your ear off all about space,
Why we have a moon and why the moon has a face.
If the earth is spinning, why we all stay in place?
Why we can't walk it's gotta be a space race.
But what can I say,
That's gonna' blow her mind away,
Tryna write a classic, not a throwaway.
All I've seen, all I've heard,
When it comes to you, there are no, there are no, there are no words, no words.

Yeah, there are no words.
Yeah, I swear this much is true
There ain't a word in this world that describe you, that describe you.
Yeah, I swear this much is true
There ain't a word in this world that describes you.

No words.

There are no words to describe, quantify
What's inside you, your feeling, your vibe
Believe me, I've tried to break you down to a science
See you in my mind then I open my mouth and it's silence
I can articulate a Shakespeare poem
Even though I didn't know him
I can see where he was going
And where he's coming from
I can even catch his flow
And then I think of you
I don't know where this metaphor is going
'Cause there are no words you can understand, only lovers can
You can ask the professor and the madman
If they couldn't find the words, no one can
All I've seen, all I've heard
When it comes to you there's just no, just no words

(Just no words, no words)

Yeah, I swear this much is true,
There are no word in this world that describes you, that describes you.

Yeah, I swear this much is true,
There are no word in this world that describes you.

There are no...
There are no...
Just no words
 
"Millionaires"

They're kicking us out sayin' it's time to close
We're leaning on each other tryin' to beat the cold
I carry your shoes and I gave you my coat, yeah
We're walkin' these streets like they're paved with gold
Any old excuses not to go, neither one of us wanna take that taxi home

We were singin' our hearts out, standin' on chairs
Spendin' our time like we were millionaires
Laughin' our heads off, the two of us there
Spendin' our time like we were millionaires, millionaires

Lost my heart and I hope to die, see in that sunlight hit your eyes
Been up all night but you still look amazin' to me, yeah
Had the type of night you only dream about
If God came down he could take me now
Cos in my mind, yeah we will always be

Singin' our hearts out, standin' on chairs
Spendin' our time like we were millionaires
Laughin' our heads off, the two of us there
Spendin' our time like we were millionaires, millionaires

If time was money, then we'd be worth a fortune
I swear, you may think you're rich
You can have a million euros but you can't buy this

Look at us, it's 6 in the mornin'
If time was money, then we'd be worth a fortune
I swear, you may think you're rich
You can have a million euros but you can't buy this

And the band was on, playin' our song
We messed up the lyrics as we sang along
But we didn't care, cos it felt like we were the only ones there
Our feet were sore, our throats were raw
They're turnin' out the lights but we're shoutin' more, we're shoutin' more

Singin' our hearts out, standin' on chairs
Spendin' our time like we were millionaires
Laughin' our heads off, the two of us there
Spendin' our time like we were millionaires, millionaires

Look at us, it's 6 in the mornin'
If time was money, then we'd be worth a fortune

Any old excuses not to go, neither one of us wanna take that taxi home
 
"Moon Boots"

I'm gonna leave this place
I made a snap decision
I'm gonna find another earth
And start my own religion
Yeah, I'm shooting through space
Where there ain't no division
I'm gonna see some shapes
You won't see on the television, no, no, ooh-oh, oh

The countdown started on the day we parted
Leaving you is hardest
Till the song kickin' in and I'm ready to go

I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission, yeah
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm in a far off place
That's stranger than a distant land
I cut my parachute off
Oh, to see if I could stand
I'm headed for a great new world
Somewhere where there ain't no fears
It's gonna look and sound the same
Only difference is that you're not here
You're not here, no

The countdown started on the day we parted
I've been brokenhearted
Till the song kickin in and I'm ready to go

I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission

"Hurricanes"

Neither one of us is getting out of here alive
Both of us are stranded and we won't make it back inside

The whole world is blowing away
We just watch it pass us by
Yeah, it swept up both our feet
When we meet in the northern sky

Like thunder and lightning,
Cold and the warm
Together we make the perfect storm
You're like the wind,
I'm like the rain
Together we both make hurricanes

Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes

We're heading towards each other at 150 miles an hour
Knocking us off course with the force once you feel the power

We're tryna get away, tryna clear the path
From everything we buried in the aftermath
Swell like a super cell, raging getting louder and louder

Like thunder and lightning,
Cold and the warm
Together we make the perfect storm
You're like the wind
I'm like the rain
Together we both make hurricanes

Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes

On my own I'm just another cold rainy day
Waiting for the wind to come along and take me away
But she's just a breeze on a sunny day
Unless the two of us together, man, we're blown away

Like thunder and lightning,
Cold and the warm
Together we make the perfect storm
You're like the wind b
I'm like the rain
Together we both make hurricanes

"You Won't Feel A Thing"

I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled way down
To the lowest place

I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated
From every holy place

I've been beat up and robbed
I've been left for dead
For the way I look
For the things I said

And when trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us
I promise, baby, you won't ever—
You won't ever feel a thing

'Cause I will take it on the chin,
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow
For you,
For you.

I've been put on the street
I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up
Had them shot full of holes

I've been laughed at, hurt,
Been the butt of the joke
I've been lit up in flames
I have gone down in smoke

I've been stabbed in the back
While they promised the earth
Tried to keep my head high
For all I'm worth

Outside I'm double glazing
I know a war is raging
I promise, baby, you won't ever—
You won't ever feel a thing

'Cause I will take it on the chin,
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow
For you.
For you.

And if I fall here
At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing

And if I fall here
At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing

'Cause I will take it on the chin,
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow
For you,
For you.

Yeah everything the world could throw
I'll take the sticks, I'll take the stones
For you
For you
 
"For The First Time"

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess
Is it God's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride

But we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,

Trying to make it work but
Man, these times are hard,

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.

Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Ooooo,.. yeah, for the first time
Ooooo,.. oh, for the first time,
Ooooh,.. yeah, for the first time,
(Just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time)

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

"Nothing"

[Verse 1]
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'll never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
So I, dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing, nothing)

[Verse 2]
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if we're face to face then she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
So I, dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing)

She said nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
So I, dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing)

She said nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing, nothing)

I got nothing [x3]
 
"Science & Faith"

Tried to break love to a science
In an act of pure defiance
I broke her heart

As I pulled apart her theories
As I watched her growing weary
I pulled her apart

Having heavy conversations
About the furthest constellations
Of our souls

We're just trying to find some meaning
In the things that we believe in
But we got some ways to go

Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just knocks me dead

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours

It's the way we feel
Yeah this is real
It's the way we feel
Yeah this is real

I tried pushing evolution
As the obvious conclusion
Of the start

But it was for my own amusement
Saying love was an illusion
Of a hopeless heart

Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that knocks me dead

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours

It's the way we feel
Yeah this is real
It's the way we feel
Yeah this is real

Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just knocks me dead

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours

It's the way we feel
Yeah this is real
It's the way we feel
Yeah this is real
