Please don’t go crazy if I tell you the truth
No, you don’t know what happened and you never will if
you don’t listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it’s been out in the hall
Where you’ve had me for hours till I’m sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what’s up, I won’t stop
No way

Please keep your hands down and stop raising your voice
It’s hardly what I’d be doing if you gave me a choice
It’s a simple suggestion, can you give me some time?
So just say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, why can’t you shoulder the blame?
Coz both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both
You’re a big boy now so let’s not talk about growth
You’ve not heard a single word I have said
Oh my God

Please take it easy, it can’t all be my fault
I haven’t made half the mistakes that you’ve listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something, it’s all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I’ve stepped over lines you’ve drawn again and again
But if the ecstasy’s in, the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride

Don’t be scared of anything at all
Everything we have is all we need
All the spotlights streaming into angry skies
means there’s no one watching as we leave

Say the first thing that comes into your head when you see me
If it looks like it works and it feels like it works then it works
With the sun on your face all these worries will soon disappear
Just follow me now, just follow me now

I find careful patterns in the snow
It seems you did come round but changed your mind
If you’d just take ten more steps to me
I won’t ever ask you again

Just because I couldn’t say doesn’t make me a liar
I noticed a change in the tone of your voice, it’s so clear
My role in this mess is not something that I can be proud of
But it’s all going to change, it’s all going to change

All going to change, it’s all going to change [x2]

I’ll get tired of the heart attacks
Every time it rings
I’ll put myself on the waiting list
And get it all cleared up
You’re the one with the attitude
Don’t try and make me out
to be the root of the evil in
the whole rotten affair

Lie back and suffer now
We’ve both earned our reward

Buried deep in the telegram
I’m sure I never got
was any clue of the whereabouts
of all the things I’d lost
Just because you were right before
doesn’t mean you’re right
To make up now would just vindicate
every doubt I had

It’s not as simple as
how much you think you care
You would never know
when to take the hint
Broken glass aside
my feelings stay the same
Covered head to toe
in blood and fear and spite

It’s a feeling I’ve had many times before
I can’t hold the fort so don’t give me more
I struggle and sweat when I’m wide awake
When I know I’m fine. I’m not used to fine

It’s the same thing again
but it could become a problem if
we don’t deal with it now
And you blast off in another rant
I’ve not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily?
As the madness sets in
you must know that I’ll follow you

You must know that I’ll follow you [x4]

A sudden movement and a broken limb
The patches are there to show where I’m hit
My fault, is it now? Well that’s news to me
Curled and joyless we try once again

It’s the same thing again
but it could become a problem if
we don’t deal with it now
And you blast off in another rant
I’ve not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily?
As the madness sets in
you must know that I’ll follow you

You must know that I’ll follow you [x8]

I broke into your house last night
and left a note at your bedside
I’m far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb and I’m not sure why

I find it easier to sit and stare
than push my limbs out towards you right there
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
as blue as oceans and as pure as skies

I struggle for the words and then give up
My heads up with the birds on the t-hut
A little piece of mind that I know better
than the plain disgrace of all my letters

But after that the floodgates opened up
and I fell in love with everyone I saw
Please take your time, I’m not in any rush
And it’s in everything I ever write

It’s not as if I need the extra weight
Confused enough by life, so thanks a lot
Lonely written words for company
Just raise the roof this once and follow me

This could be the very minute
I’m aware I’m alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I’d never chosen
I can make my first steps
as a child of 25

This is the straw, final straw in the
roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I’m sorry doesn’t mean
I didn’t enjoy it at the time

You’re the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
or at least I’ll claim I did
but in truth I’m lost for words

What have I done? It’s too late for that
What have I become? Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I’ll do anything you ask this time

I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
in all I’ve done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
away from here

Light up, light up
as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
and we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
why you can’t raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
and we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
why you can’t raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
to get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear

I’m trying not to stare, it’s too late
The blankets over there if you like
I’m broken and I’m colder than hell
I should’ve said I’d not come back here

Your breakfast will get cold
I really have to go

It’s easier to lie and be safe
Time and time again I’m half stalled
One giant leap of faith is easy
when everyone you ask is so sure

Just give a second thought
What if we don’t get caught?

Just say you love me now
and forget this whole row
Just save your energy
for making up with me

Getting too busy to make amends
I should try to make it right
Are you ready for the shit to hit?
I think you say you are, but aren’t
Doctor make it better instantly
You’re the only one who can
I’ve been waiting here my whole damn life
and I’ve forgotten what I wanted

Maybe I can do it
if I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
but there’s nowhere else that I can go
Maybe I won’t suffer
if I find a way to love her
I’d be lying to myself
but there is no way out that I can see

If I lied you’d know it instantly
so I just had to look away
All the honesty I’ve ever lost
I can’t begin to even curse
I never knew the taste of blood till now
It’s clear I never should have known
Breathing fire was never this much fun
So there’s a dark side in us all

Maybe I can do it
if I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
but there’s nowhere else that I can go
Maybe I won’t suffer
if I find a way to love her
I’d be lying to myself
but there is no way out that I can see

Is there a place I can go?
Is there a light to get me there?
If I’ve forgotten what to say
it’s because all words are dust
If this is really what you think
how come you won’t look me in the eye?
All this crying in your sleep
as I lie awake beside

Is there a T-shirt I can wear?
‘Cause I am soaking, look at me
What do you mean, I don’t love you?
I am standing here, aren’t I?
Maybe you thought of it first
Maybe I get all the praise
Is there a place I can go?
Is there a light to get me there?

I’ve got this feeling that there’s something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you)
Don’t you breathe, don’t you breathe
(I could do most anything to you)
Something happened that I never understood
(I could do most anything to you)
You can’t leave, you can’t leave
(I could do most anything to you)

Every second dripping off my fingertips
(I could do most anything to you)
Wage your war, wage your war
(I could do most anything to you)
Another soldier says he’s not afraid to die
(I could do most anything to you)
Well I am scared, I’m so scared
(I could do most anything to you)

In slow motion the blast is beautiful
(I could do most anything to you)
Doors slam shut, doors slam shut
(I could do most anything to you)
A clock is ticking but it’s hidden far away
(I could do most anything to you)
Safe and sound, safe and sound
(I could do most anything to you)

Maybe somewhere else will not be half as cold as me
The curtain’s drawn, the winter sun makes patterns on your face
It looks like some kaleidoscopic breathing exercise

It’s the same [x6]
Baby, won’t you breathe [x2]

Hold me in your freezing arms before we have to go
I wince a little but it’s not because I know the truth
The windshield of your little car is frosted through the glass
The clear heart of air appears as we shiver on the seats

It’s the same [x6]
Treat it as a test [x2]
Baby, wont you breathe [x2]
It’s the same [x6]

I’m tired of lying, it breaks my heart
Just want to be with you everyday
I’m not used to people thinking I’m doing
something I shouldn’t when all I want…

I’ve nowhere left to hide myself
without you here to cover my eyes with your sweet lips
If there’s some way else of doing this
I cannot think of any other path to wind down

I’m tired of lying, it breaks my heart
Just want to be with you everyday
I’m not used to people thinking I’m doing
something I shouldn’t when all I want…

Don’t panic, I was always here
I wouldn’t last a minute without you beside me
You’re all that I have ever loved
So why’d it take so long for me to realize it?

I’m tired of lying, it breaks my heart
Just want to be with you everyday
I’m not used to people thinking I’m doing
something I shouldn’t when all I want…

One step too far is not far enough away from here
Stay close to me, don’t relax your grip on my right hand

But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eyelid
Don’t torture yourself thinking that it must sting

Don’t turn your head
Pretend they’re all dead and gone by now
Can you feel that?
Feels like breath on the back of my neck

Half the fun of it is that I can’t keep up
and I lose my breath and what’s worse
is I don’t think I’m the first
Any way you like, you can do no wrong
Please just give me five minutes dear
Let’s just pray it’s not near

Stay forever, I won’t last it
I’ll die trying
Will you suffer a little with me?
But you would never

With a second chance I’d mess it up again
But I’d do it worse than before
’cause I’ve learned so much more
About the way we fertilize the roses
that were bought to show us how much you care
Now it’s easier to care

Getting past this, you have to take it
I will wait here
Please believe me, just stop running
Say you’ll get help

I caught the last flight, I had to see ya
It can’t wait longer
He’s not your father, just a doctor
so lick your own wounds
