The Question
03:46
|
|||
I've been asking the same old question
and I'm tired of the answer,
I need a new one
you call my name, but I've been a jealous lover
I'm down on my knees,
I ain't gonna leave you ever.
we're tangled up
in this half-made mess, can we
speak to each other and
just admit that we
(we're in the race to run
chasin' the sound of the gun
gotta get on up, get out, and get done)
give a little more time
to a hard bit of truth
reach to each other and work as one
for this life you've been living
life you've been living, life
you been living, life
you been living.
back around the bend and you
you still got nothin'
what’s it gonna take,
for you to take notice
quit being a tease
it’s clear that you came to make entrance
just give up the game, it ain’t gonna make a difference, no no
we’re tangled up
in this half made mess
can we speak to each other and
just admit that we
(we’re in the race to run,
chasin the sound of the gun
gotta get on up, get out and get done)
give a little more time
to a hard bit of truth
reach to each other
and work as one
for this life you been livin'
life you been livin'
life you been livin
life you been livin'
go on, shake, shake shake,
you’re shaking up my bones
I can feel us reconnecting,
I’ll never be alone
cuz you and me, we’re one and the same
now who’s to blame
who’s to blame
who’s to, to, to, to
(we’re tangled up)
it’s not enough)
give a little more time
to a hard bit of truth
reach to each other
and work as one
for this life you been livin'
life you been livin'
life you been livin'
life you been livin'

Burn
05:29
|
|||
I, I,
made up my mind
feels like waking up
for the first time in my life
if I find,
the world is just a lie
I’ll stay inside
leave it out to dry
it’s getting quiet
the light in my way
is so misguided
still I kneel and pray
been feeling so tired, love
I’ve lived long enough with this feeling
this feeling
that I’ve been burned
I got higher and higher
but now I just wanna get down
So in love with this feeling,
I lost sight of the ground, babe
threw it all away
for these flashing lights,
beautiful lies
and a steep glass of cheap champagne
I’ve been burned,
and I just might burn right through it all
gotta keep climbing higher
lose it all in the fire
til I run out of things to burn
two sides
A choice in half the time
time for the moment
or just time away
it's gotten quiet
the light in my way
has gone into hiding
still I kneel and pray
been feeling so tired, love
I've waited long enough
now I’m reeling
cuz I’ve been burned
I got higher and higher
but now I just wanna get down
so in love with this feeling,
I lost sight of the ground, babe
threw it all away
for these flashing lights,
beautiful lies
and a cheap glass of cheap champagne
I’ve been burned,
and I just might burn right through it all
gotta keep climbing higher
lose it all in the fire
until I run out of things to burn
did you know
all it takes
to feel this way
to be alone
but you already know
just let go
I, I,
made up my mind,
I’ll just
burn
burn

Can I Get Love
04:40
|
|||
maybe I'm tired, I've had enough
of spinning these wheels
of drinking this cup
maybe I'm scared of the truth
that I don't know what I'd have if I didn't have you
I'm hollowed out, I'm just a corpse
waiting round to be reborn
and nothing these shoulders have ever seen
is worth a damn, not a god-damned thing
can I get love
can I get love
can I get love
can I get love
I've turned to an unfair trade
turning time into time away
but what if I'm right, and everyone's wrong
and this poison's the fuel I've been running on
can I get love x 8
can I get love x3
maybe I'm tired
maybe I'm tired of love
can you
help me realize that fire
or I'm giving up
that'd be enough
