The Crash
04:30
|

Read between the lines on my face
Behind the mask
We are the human race
Under a soft white layer of ash
Sometimes it feels like the world wasn't built to last
But you and I can make our case
If we survive the crash
The crash
Next morning when the sun rises
It's you and me and the cockroaches and love
And that's enough
Hold my hand underneath the bloody sky
Through the gentle acid rain
To a fallout shelter with a view
Just big enough for me and you
It's not so bad if you can keep yourself from thinking about the pain
We've seen a thing or two
Living through the crash
The crash
Next morning with the sun rises
It's you and me and the cockroaches and love
And that's enough
It doesn't need to get better
At first light there'll be four survivors
You and me and the cockroaches and love
It doesn't need to get better

The Fear

Let me know when the coast is clear
Let me know when the coast is clear and I'll
Find a way to get out of here
I don't believe it, I don't feel the fear
The fear
Let me know when it's safe to go out
Let me know when it's safe, and I'll go out in a blaze of glory
Tell me when I'm free
Let me know when it's ok for me to be
I'm keeping the lights on
I'm keeping the lights on
All winter long
All winter long
I'm keeping the lights on
I'm keeping the lights on
All winter long
All winter long
Tell me when I can break bread
Tell me when I can make new friends
Push me onto the pavement
Lock me into the prison of my consent
Let me know when I can show my face
Let me know when I can kiss my girl
Let me know when you're ok
Let me know when it's ok to be ok
I'm keeping the lights on
I'm keeping the lights on
All winter long
All winter long
I'm keeping the lights on
I'm keeping the lights on
All winter long
All winter long
Once it's gone
You'll never get it back
Once it's gone
You'll never get it back

Disintegrate
03:44
|

Everything falls apart
Even father's break your heart
I'd do anything to hold it together
But I don't know where to start
Solid ground disintegrates
Plastic smiles imitate
How the hell I'm supposed to feel
I'm not sure you can relate
No, I'm not sure you can relate
People I don't recognize
Claim the right to patronize
Fear your neighbours, fear your friends
Never get back together again
Never get back together again
In the sunlight, over exposed
I was always safe in your shadow
Indoors, out of the rain
Watch it fall through windows
Never feel it on your skin
Never ever let it in
Sun and rain, pleasure pain
The danger is the same
Never feel it on your skin
Never ever let it in
Sun and rain, pleasure pain
The danger is the same
In the sunlight, over exposed
I was always safe in your shadow
Indoors, out of the rain
Watch it fall through windows

So much that you won't tell me
So much that I can't ask you to
I want you to get to know me
And I want to get to know you
I'm not afraid but I know I should be
I'm no stranger to heartbreak, why should you be?
Kiss me slowly, kiss me gently
I'll kill you softly with a song
Girl, lay that body down against me
I want to sin beside you all night long
I know we took this way too far
The moment we gave it all away
I promise not to fall apart
Just tell me if you're gonna break my heart
I'll wrap myself around you like the dark
You'll show me every hidden part
I'll keep your secrets, I won't sell you out
Just tell me if you're gonna break my heart
I know we took this way too far
The moment we gave it all away
I promise not to fall apart
Just tell me if you're gonna break my heart

I'm Not Gonna Stop
02:51

My choice or God's
What's the difference?
You and me are in too deep
To play defense
The night we met
Everything was set in stone
If they never let you in
Baby, I'll die alone
I'm not
I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna stop loving you
I'm not
I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna stop loving you
Time and space
A twisted place
You and me are face to face
But not here
Your birthday cards scattered across my empty bed
You feel me when you don't smoke cigarettes
I'm not
I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna stop loving you
I'm not
I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna stop loving you
We can't wait for them to set us free
So we can start to be what we were meant to be
They tell us that we're nothing, but we're all we've got
They tell us that we're nothing, but we're not
I'm not
I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna stop loving you
I'm not
I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna stop loving you

Jealous
04:30
|

I don't wanna be jealous
But I'm insecure
When you're with the other fellas
And you say you're turning up
Oh yea
I don't wanna hear about your little buddy
With a sweet disposition
He keeps you good company
When you're feeling far from me
I don't wanna be annoying in your phone
Or leave you alone
When you're out for a few with your weekend crew
And I'm alone without you
What's a boy to do?
I'm no good without you
I don't wanna be a memory, a fantasy
A mystery that used to be
You and me, baby can it really be
I wanna be a part of you
I can see a little house in a row
When the sun gets low
Baby you and me and he make three
And that's a family
You and me can cheat the system
We've found love
And that's a problem
For the worst of them
What's a boy to do?
I think I wanna marry you
What's a boy to do?
I'm no good without you
You and me can cheat the system
We've found love
And that's a problem
For the worst of them
