I wear a demeanour made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing
Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two,
Reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening
I'll pretend that it's no thing
The skip in my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me, babe I'm crazy over you
Ah there's something in the water, something in the water
Ah, there's something in the water, that makes me love you like
I got halos made of summer and ribbons made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I got crowns of words a-woven
Each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing
Give me long days in the sun,
Preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings laying in all lazy
Give me something fun to do
Like a life of lovin' you
Kiss me quick now baby
I'm still crazy over you
Ah there's something in the water, something in the water
Ah there's something in the water that makes me love you like I do
Give me nights of solitude
Red wine just a glass or two
Give me something fun to do
Ah there's something in the water, something in the water
Ah there's something in the water that makes me love you like I do
Friend, it's getting late
We should be going
We've been sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours
While I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me
For I am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower
Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong?
Your telescope eyes see everything clearly
My vision is blurred but I know what I heard echoing all around
While I am tuning you in, you are deciphering me
Not such a mystery, not such a faint and far away sound
Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong?
It's love, it's love that holds us
We will be alright
It's truth, it's truth that shows us
If we'll walk in it's (His) light
Take my shoulder back now
Your head's too heavy for me
Please don't come around here no more
'Cos I asked you to stop
And you wouldn't
I would give anything to make you better
I would give anything to point you to free
I would give anything to help you realise
I loved you 'til it killed me
So my logic wouldn't hurt you
I know you might blame me anyway
Well I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I would give anything to make you better
I would give anything to point you to free
I would give anything to help you realise
You're not helping yourself to me
I've tried all the things they told me to do
Trying to close up the wounds left open byyou
And if I seem doubtful, distrusting... I am
You said you wouldn't do it again
You said you wouldn't do it again
I would give anything to make you better
I would give anything to point you to free
I would give anything to help you realise
You're not helping yourself
You're not helping yourself by hurting me
Anything just to try and help you see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
Time to let you go, time for you to see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I've been thinking of changing my mind
(It never stays the same for long)
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I won't find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score
'Cos I know now you are much more than arithmetic
'Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one
I want
When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet toward home
A land that I've never seen
I am changing: Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began
And I have sensed it all along
Fast approaching is the day
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
There's distraction buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
But I've heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
You make all things new...
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
I am sitting still
I think of Angelique
Her mother's voice over me
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
And on a thousandth hill, I think of Albertine
There in her eyes what I don't see with my own
Rwanda
Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go 'til you are
I am on a plane across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
And in the dust on, the dust on my feet
Rwanda
Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go 'til you are
And I'll tell the world, I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them, Albertine
Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go 'til you are
I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine
I will tell them, Albertine
You've got a quick snap lock on your cold, cold heart
You've got your YSL kicks and a red birthmark
In the shape of canada that you try to keep a secret
You've got a click clack walk and a cold hard stare
And if your eyes could talk they'd say they just don't care
Before they wander off to hide inside their sockets
You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got toronto hiding on your hip honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling we all do
You've got a fool proof plan for a lonely life
You won't be no one's daughter and a drunk man's wife
If a wife at all
It's a silly institution
Or so you keep insisting
You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got toronto hiding on your hip honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling we all do
You're cool coy 'bout your strawberry hip
It's you that's hidden by the expectations
We wanna see you, won't you show us where to start
You're talking trash with your replica lips
It's you that's echoing the conversation
Sweet betty won't you show us who you are
You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got toronto hiding on your hip honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling we all do
You've got a quick snap lock on your cold, cold heart
I have this sinking feeling
Something's weighing me down
I am completely saturated
The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned
Doing the thing I said I hated
They've been swimming in the wrong waters
Now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you'll lift me out
Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline
Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right
Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out
'Cos it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted
'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out
Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline
They've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know, 'cos I know
That you'll have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Take this ocean of pain that is mine..
Throw me a lifeline
We’ve got a long way to go but we got the energy
Took a little while to find reality
We’ve come a long way you know
Living inside a dream
Waking to find that we are kings and queens
Lights on
Sometimes this feels like sleeping with the lights on
The memories stay
They loop their lines on endless replay
I’m sleeping where I fall
If I can sleep at all
‘Cos I’ll wake where I wanna, if I wake at all
‘Cos here the lines are blurred
Reality deferred
And we’re chasing down tomorrow
We’ve got a long way to go but we got the energy
Took a little while to find reality
We’ve come a long way you know
Living inside a dream
Waking to find that we are kings and queens
Ride on
Let’s ditch the dark babe,
we just gotta ride on
Don’t let the lies through
They’ll trick your mind and turn your heart to stone
Forget the wars we fight
Forget the tears you cry
‘Cos we’ll go when we’re gonna but that won’t be tonight
‘Cos here the edges fade
Between the light and shade
And we’re chasing down forever
We’ve got a long way to go but we got the energy
Took a little while to find reality
We’ve come a long way you know
Living inside a dream
Waking to find that we are kings and queens
We’ve got a long way to go but we got the energy
Took a little while to find it, to find it, to find it
We’ve come a long way you know
Living inside a dream
Took a little while to find it, to find it, to find it
We’ve got a long way to go but we got the energy
Took a little while to find reality
We’ve come a long way you know
Living inside a dream
Waking to find that we are kings and queens
We’ve got a long way to go but we got the energy
Took a little while to find reality
We’ve come a long way you know
Living inside a dream
Waking to find that we are kings and queens
The 'Fornian last light and I'm right beside you
The fire and motion
The fire and motion
The desert sun sinking sleepy and low
But we're just waking we are waking
River time is a mountain tonight
Before tomorrow she flows on
Carving valleys in the skin on our faces
I am bright as the sun, you are high as a kite
We are daughters, sons, brothers, and sisters tonight at Coachella
Come on now darlin' let's shake off these blues
I'll let my hair out, you'll slip off your shoes
I feel like a baby, new born in the spring
I'm setting down this sadness and I won't remember it
When I'm bright as the sun and you're high as a kite
And we're daughters, sons, brothers and sisters tonight at Coachella
Coachella
I'm a warm bleeding heart
You're a generous soul
And I love you though I never met you before 'til Coachella
We are standing on the shore in the smoke and the starlight
On the edge of a human sea and the tide is in
Didn't I tell you everything's fine?
If there's a good and bad we're somewhere in between
Often I feel like we're all navigating blind
Could we get a change of pace to set the scene?
We could stay another day in this confusion
Let it permeate us 'til we can't move on
But while we're waiting we could try saving the world
Or are we storing that up for a rainy day?
I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn
It could be fun to try
I think that I'll save the world as a fun afternoon activity
Seventy thousand things to ponder today
The most significant are bottom of the list
Forty five million recipes and ways
To exaggerate and compound the stress
We could stay another day in this apathy
Let it permeate us 'til we're numb through
And while we're waiting we could try saving the world
Or are we storing that up for a rainy day?
I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn
It could be fun to try
I think that I'll save the world
Ooh
And while we're waiting we could try saving the world
Or are we storing that up for a rainy day?
I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn
It could be fun to try
I think that I'll save...
And while we're waiting we could try saving the world
Or are we storing that up for a rainy day?
I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn
It could be fun to try
I think that I'll save the world
I’m your telescope
Help you see other worlds up close
I’m your submarine
You’ll explore where you’ve never been
I’m your ticking clock
Hold my hands and the time will stop
I’m your megaphone
Turn you up ‘til the neighbours moan
Power me on
Light on demand
I’m your magical machine
We can dream digital dreams
Power me on
Control and command
I’m your magical machine
I’ll be yours if you let me
I’m your MRI
Show you what’s going on inside
I’m your ATM
Take what you like my supply won’t end
I’m your MP3
I get sad when you don’t pay for me
I’m your IED
Carry me very carefully
Power me on
Light on demand
I’m your magical machine
We can dream digitally
Power me on
Control and command
I’m your magical machine
I’ll be yours if you let me
I’m wires and welding
Preset to auto
But if I wasn’t you would never know
I’m wires and welding
Preset to auto
But if I wasn’t you would never know
Power me on,
Light on demand
I’m your magical machine
We can dream digitally
Power me on
Control and command
I’m your magical machine
I’ll be yours if you let me
If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
Then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me
Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming
Like an echo in my mind
There's a hunger that grows to the ground from the deep inside
Taste of what I couldn't see
Yes I bit but I found in the end that it consumed me
It's all out of my heart
It's all out of my hands
Is it it ever too much
It's all out of my hands
I've been thinking
Stranger things have happened now
I've been thinking
Things we never talk about
Like a serpent in the sun
I will bask, I will lay in the light 'til the day is done
Cause it never really ends
From a thought to an act to just being back again
It's all out of my my heart
It's all out of my hands
Is it it ever too much
It's all out of my hands
I've been thinking
Stranger things have happened now
I've been thinking
Things we never talked about
So tell me what you really want
Cause it isn't strange to me
This is what we do it for
You know this is therapy
I've been thinking
Stranger things have happened now
I've been thinking
Things we never talk about
I've been thinking
Stranger things have happened now
I've been thinking
Things we never talk about
So tell me what you really want
Cause it isn't strange to me
This is what we do it for
You know this is therapy
I've been thinking..
