I thought this would be a nice place for a Favorite Poetic Lyrics thread, but since all lyrics are poetry in different styles and different forms (some better than others) I think all "Favorite" lyrics will apply.


This one's "from the binder" so 1999ish

My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide... `cause Ill be on your side
You know I will, you know I will

X girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad

Chorus :
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you dont know yourself

My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness

Chorus :
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love
No matter what

This one is also "from the binder" but it was an old favorite by 1999.

New blood joins this earth,
And quickly he's subdued.
Through constant pain; disgrace,
The young boy learns their rules.

With time the child draws in,
This whipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his thoughts,
The young man struggles on, and on he's known.
A vow unto his own,
That never from this day,
His will they'll take away.

What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been.

What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven.

They dedicate their lives,
To running all of his.
He tries to please them all,
This bitter man he is.
Throughout his life the same,
He's battled constantly,
This fight he cannot win.
A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares,
To die regretfully.
That old man here is me.

What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been.

What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven.

(Instrumental Solo)

What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been.

What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven.

Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven.

You labeled me,
I'll label you.
So I dub the unforgiven.

Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven.

You labeled me,
I'll label you.
So I dub the unforgiven.

When I wasn't alternating between Metallica and the Hatchet (just KIDDING) I had about 3 Christian music c.d.s that I liked to listen to back then (from the binder).


Dull as dirt
you can't assert
the kinda light that might persuade
a strict dictator to retire
fire the army,
teach the poor origami
the truth is in
the proof is when you hear your heart start asking
What's my motivation?
And try as you may
there isn't a way
to explain the kinda change
that would make an eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbeque hamster
unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign

shine
make em wonder whatcha got
make em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let em see good works and then
let em glorify the lord

Out of the shaker and onto the plate
it isn't karma it sure ain't fate
that would make a deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
and science seeks
a rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior
when you let it shine
you will inspire the kind of entire turnaround
that would make a bouncer take ballet
even bouncers who arent happy
but out of the glare
with nowhere to turn
you ain't gonna learn it on "What's my Line?"

Shine
make em wonder whatcha got
make em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let em see good works and then
let em glorify the lord


Newsboys - Shine Lyrics

I've always been a bit concerned about the barbeque hamster line... hehe and what's with talkin' smack about Oprah and karma..? but the rest is fun.

And more Christian... Amy Grant speaking to God, "Love"...

I have found a perfect mystery
Love has a hold on me
Long before my life had come to be
Love had a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

Where do I come from
What does life mean
Is it not to know the one who made me

As Im looking down the road ahead
Love has a hold on me
Someday when I breathe my dying breath
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

Where will I go
When this life is through
Back into the light that made me and you

Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

I don't have answers to all the questions
Running inside of my mind
But I can't help believe that
Understanding comes in time

Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

If I run, if I hide, I know inside
Your love has a hold on me
Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow
Your love has a hold on me

If I run, if I hide
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Hold on me

This was my favorite "love" song of hers back then...

In our times of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one there to save us
We had to save ourselves

And when the storms came through
They found me and you
Back to back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine
Yours and mine forever

Chorus:
And oh how the years go by
And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by

There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
But we came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now were back on solid ground

We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of dangers
cause when your heart is strong
You know youre not alone
In this world of strangers

(repeat chorus)

And if we lose our way
Any night or day
Well we'll always be
Where we should be
I'm there for you
And I know youre there for me

(repeat chorus twice)

As the years go by

This was my favorite love song at the time


Haven't we been here before
Footsteps lead down to the note on the door
That says I can't stay here anymore

And haven't we felt this same way
Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same
To say I can't stay one minute more

You might think that it's hopeless
Beyond our control
But that's not necessarily so
Can't you see there's a chance
For the daring young soul
Who's finally learned to say no

No, I won't be misused
Ignored or abused
And I won't just give up and let go

So tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing can stand in our way

And I
I believe if we learn from the past
We'd say
Haven't we been here before?
And I
I believe if we open our hearts
We'd find keys to unlock every door

Dark would turn into light
We'd be strong
We'd be right

(guitar)

So tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing will stand in our way

And I believe if we learn from the past
We'd say haven't we been here before
Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts
We'd find keys to unlock every door
Hearts could change overnight (don't say no)
We'd be strong...We'd be right

So stay with me now
The future is ours
And we'll be the ones who go on

The other Newsboys song I liked (from the old binder like all of the above)

Newsboys - Spirit Thing Lyrics


It's not a family trait,
it's nothing that I ate,
and it didn't come from skating with Holy Rollers,

It's an early warning sign,
it keeps my life in line,
but it's so hard to define,
Nevermind...

(Chorus)
It's just a spirit thing,
it's just a holy nudge,
it's like a circuit judge in the brain.
It's just a spirit thing,
it's here to guard my heart,
it's just a little hard to explain.

It pushes when i quit,
it smells a counterfit,
Sometimes it works a bit like a teleprompter...

When it's telepromting you,
I pray you'll let it through,
And I'll help you with the how,
But for now...

It's just a spirit thing,
it's just a holy nudge,
it's like a circuit judge in the brain.
It's just a spirit thing,
it's here to guard my heart,
it's just a little hard to explain.

I took the pulpit,
then backed down again,
Some things in heaven
cannot be explained.

I took the soapbox
then backed down again
some things in heaven
cannot be explained

no they can not be explained...
yeah

It's just a spirit thing,
it's just a holy nudge,
it's like a circuit judge in the brain.
It's just a spirit thing,
it's here to guard my heart,
it's just a little hard to explain...

It's just a spirit thing...

My third and ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Christian music c.d. was performer Kim Boyce. I loved pretty much every one of her songs and I still listen to her c.d. Here is one of the top 3 favorites, my other favorite was By Faith, and my third favorite is about having a child.


Somebody's down to their last dime,
Somebody's running out of time,
Not too far from here

Somebody's got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here

And I may not know their name
But I'm praying just the same
That You'll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
'Cause somebody's crying
Not too far from here

Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here

Somebody's forgotten how to trust
Somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here

It may be a stranger's face
But I'm praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
'Cause somebody's hurting
Not too far from here

Help me, Lord, not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep

Now, I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak your love to every needful ear
Jesus is waiting
Not too far from here
Jesus is waiting
Not too far from here

Le Tigre "My Art"


I don't care you sing such a winner's song.
No I won't respond.
My silence screams a laugh.

And if you call us wrong either way.
It "just so happens" to us everyday.
No I, I won't come undone.

And if you ever wanna adventure, -
if you ever want a fashion show, -
I'll walk on your block.

My art is better than your art!!!
and you will be better off
when i'm gone.....
when I'm gone....

And if you ever wanna try
your hand at forcing my suicide,
come on f*cker reach out for the sun!

Yeah yeah yeah
You got the lens that wants to go through me.
You got the rebel style it don't fool me.
Yeah, you're a post modern ********.

And if you ever wanna try
your hand at forcing my suicide
just know I've only begun.

And if you ever wanna try
your hand at forcing my suicide
come on and try to kill me off.

Yes, let's balance out that Christian rock with a little rebel rock....

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore

we've got the right to choose and
there ain't no way we'll lose it
this is our life, this is our song
we'll fight a 1000 legions
don't pick our destiny 'cause
you don't know us, you don't belong

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore

oh you're so condescending
your gall is never ending
we don't want nothin', not a thing from you
your life is trite and jaded
boring and confiscated
if that's your best, your best won't do

whoa.....................
whoa.....................
we're right/yeah
we're free/yeah
we'll fight/yeah
you'll see/yeah

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore
no way!

whoa.....................
whoa.....................
we're right/yeah
we're free/yeah
we'll fight/yeah
you'll see/yeah

we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
we're not gonna take it anymore

we're not gonna take it, no!
no, we ain't gonna take it
we're not gonna take it anymore

just you try and make us
we're not gonna take it
come on
no, we ain't gonna take it
you're all worthless and weak
we're not gonna take it anymore
now drop and give me twenty
we're not gonna take it
A Pledge pin
no, we ain't gonna take it
On your uniform
we're not gonna take it anymore


~Twisted Sister

ahh those were the days when THESE lyrics were considered "dark"
they've got nothin on Manson and Korn
But actually my "favorite" lyrics from Tw.S.(back in jr. high or early high school or whenever it was that Michael Jackson (Virgo) had to turn over my love and attention to "heavy metal"... ) were Street Justice. The song is actually quite powerful and reminds me of the "graphic" story I told about the little girl being hurt, so I will skip the "graphic" lyrics to that song.

"Many of the band's songs explore themes of parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms of the educational system." ~ so sayeth Wikipedia

Although that isn't what Street Justice was about...
Had to look up the lead singer's name, Dee Snider. He did a movie related to Street Justice and the into song to Street Justice (Captain Howdy), which creeps me out too much to bring to mind. Wiki says he wrote, directed and starred in "Strangeland" which has the same theme as both of those songs. He seems to be quite the activist when it comes to bringing "stranger danger" issues to light... pulling no punches in his delivery of course. Listening to Street Justice still makes me cry. Its no use posting the lyrics anyway, the full effect is to listen to both songs. The emotive delivery combined with the power of the instruments is what really makes it a work of art.

Beautiful Loser
Words and music by bob seger


He wants to dream like a young man

With the wisdom of an old man.

He wants his home and security,

He wants to live like a sailor at sea.

Beautiful loser, where you goona fall?

You realize you just cant have it all.


Hes your oldest and your best friend,

If you need him, hell be there again.

Hes always willing to be second best,

A perfect lodger, a perfect guest.

Beautiful loser, read it on the wall

And realize, you just cant have it all.

...you cant have it all, you cant have it all,

Oh, oh, ... cant have it all.


Hell never make any enemies,

He wont complain if hes caught in a freeze.

Hell always ask, hell always say please.


Beautiful loser, never take it all

cause its easier, faster when you fall,

You just dont need it all

Oh, oh, ... you just dont need it all.

Say your prayers little one
Dont forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they arent of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, dont say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
Its just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Were off to never never land

Hey Steve...

I heard this song in the car today and it reminded me of the story/experience you wrote down and shared. It was the first piece of your writing I had ever read. I was immediately convinced of your intelligence, wisdom, perception, and sensitivity. Here are the lyrics:

JAMES BLUNT LYRICS

"You're Beautiful"

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
******* high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.


Not the exact same story... but reminded me. I love it when art reminds me of art and life reminds me of art and art reminds me of life. Signs signs everywhere are signs... in a good/non-fing up the scenery kind of way.
And nothing like a moon in Leo and Merc in Cancer, combined with a lazy summer afternoon to make music sound sooooo good.

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows, if it's night or day.
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock 'n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start the revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by.
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger
I heard you say

At least not today.

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world gonna have to pay

Well I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
I'm like the cancer in your system
I've got a little surprise for you

Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there?
Did you not realize
This thing inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could

Burn

I look down from at where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
With all your lies bumped up around you
I can take it all away

Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there?
Did you not realize
Something inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could

I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I never was a part of you

Burn

I was a soldier
I am corruption
I am the agent
Of your destruction
I am perversion
Sick with desire
I am your future
Swallowed up in fire

Album-

RUMORS

Planets of the Universe

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by

They go into the seas that have no shores...
Haunted by that same closed door...
Looking up at skies on fire...
Leaving nothing left of us...
To discover...

And the planets of the universe Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
Ooh, but I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool silent moments
Of the nighttime.
Of the nighttime

And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well you forget the chill of love, but not the strain

Now I know
Well, I was wrong to live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
And I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone

And the planets of the universe go their way
I know you don't believe it
Not astounded by the soon or moon or day
I know you don't believe it
You and I will simply disappear out of sight
Well, but I'm afraid soon there'll be no light

You will never love again the way you love me
You will never rule again the way you've ruled me
You will never change again the way you're changing
You will never rule again the way you've ruled me

Tell Me Now
(Do You Really Love Me)
- Daniel Johnston


You’ll never know, dear, the tears that I cry
I don’t want to wait until the day that I die,
Tell me now, oh oh
Do you really love me?

I don’t understand the things that you do
Promise you'll make me the king of your zoo
tell me now, oh oh
Do you really love me?

In this world its hard to find a friend
How come?
But if this really is love
Then lets get it on, on
Ooooooo

I want to know dear, the way that you feel
I’m on a roll, girl, my heart's like a wheel
Tell me now, oh oh
Do you really love me?

If I could trust the look in your eye
But if your kiss could be lie
Tell me now, oh oh
Do you really love me?

In this world its hard to find a friend.
How come?
But if this really is love
Then lets get it on, on
Ooooooooo

Tell me now, oh oh
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?

When they said that love was dead
They were just playing, girl, with your head
Love is real, it’s the way that I feel
I love you
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Tell me now

I wander through fiction
To look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
I stood at a distance to feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

Hold on before it’s too late
Or until we leave this behind
Don’t fall just be who you are
It’s all that we need in our lives

Now the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you don’t live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it’s gone

Hold on before it’s too late
Or until we leave this behind
Don’t fall just be who you are
It’s all that we need in our lives

So live like you mean it
And love til you feel it
It’s all that we need in our lives
Stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
nothing is real til its gone

Hold on before it’s too late
Or until we leave this behind
Don’t fall just be who you are
It’s all that we need in our lives

It’s all that I need in my life

You wait, wanting this world
To let you in
And you stand there
A frozen light
In dark and empty streets
And you smile hiding behind
A God-given face
And I know you're so much more
Everything they ignore
Is all I need to see

And you're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

I wish
Wishing for you to find your way
And I'll hold on for all you need
That's all we need to say
I'll take my chances while
You take your time with
This game you play
But I can't control your soul
You need to let me know
You leaving or you gonna stay

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to do without
The only way to feel again
Is let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to live without
The only way to see again
Is let love in

hear me
wanting this world to let you in

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in
The moment we decided to let love in
The moment we decided to let love in

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I dont think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.

And even though the moment's passed me by
I still cant turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Lost and thrown away

And now we are grown up orphans that never knew their names
We dont belong to no one thats a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name..
And I won't tell your name

Scars are souvenirs you'll never lose
Past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?

We grew up way too fast
Now there's nothing to believe
And re-runs all become our history
A tired song keeps playin on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name...
And I won't tell your name
I won't tell your name...I won't tell your name

I think about you all the time
I don't need the same...
It's lonely where you are, come back down
And I won't tell your name

I look outside my window
Everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out
From snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout
The things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple
And getting up was fun


I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there


Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide


I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there.
I'm already there, and I'm ready there


Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness evolved
Life was in full swing
At 17, all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never seen


It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

And you asked me what I want this year
and I'll try to make this kind and clear
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and designer love and empty things
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone's forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I need some place simple where we could live
and something only you could give
and that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's ten million more who probably could
if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone's forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
and somehow stop this endless fight
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone's forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again

'cause tonight's the night the world begins again

Someone sent me the link to this video tonight and I had forgotten how much I loved this song as a teen. Made me feel like a teenager again.
The lyrics are a little lame, but I still love it. (what the heck does "touching heat freezing on my skin" mean? "just can't stand up for falling apart"?)


Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
I can't believe you're gone.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Watching shadows move across the wall,
feels so frightning.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But I've been hit by lightning
Just can't stand up for fallin' apart.
Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
And whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
