What It Feels Like
03:32
|
|||
The baby's crying, she keeps me lying to myself.
And I cant deny it, run around thinking I'd need nobody else
But what it feels like to know this
is nothing like being in love,
and is nothing like getting caught up,
is nothing like dying.
Oh! What it feels like to know this.
Oh! What it feels like to know this.
My world is shaking up,
my ego breaking up,
damn.
And the baby's my own, she's got me dancing with myself.
And I can't deny it, it's always easy dancing with somebody else.
But what it feels like to know this,
is nothing being alone,
and is nothing like being told that I'm wrong,
is not like dying.
Oh! What it feels like to know this.
Oh! What it feels like to know this.
My world is shaking up,
my ego breaking up,
damn.
My world is shaking up,
my ego breaking up,
damn.
My world is shaking up,
my ego breaking up,
damn.

On my way back,
ooh I know I roam
and I hide it
but i love you
more and more and more
than i ever have before
than i ever have before.
Make my way back,
ooh I hope I've grown
and I fight it,
I feel your accusations echo far.
Makes me wonder
what you saw?
Makes me wonder
and on and on and on.
But if you're asking, I'm offering
to get back where you are.
Yea if you're asking, I'm offering
the keys to my heart.
And no one wants a bidding war
and I can't afford to break, to bawl,
to screen and yell and scare you out the door.
And my words they leave me lonely with the ghosts.
Yea my words they only hide the things I know.
But if you're asking, I'm offering
to get back where you are.
Yea if you're asking, I'm offering
the keys to my heart.
And I'm trying,
I'm standing here
despite what it's become.
So if I'm close, then set me up,
Yea tell me if you're in or if you're not.
But if you're asking, I'm offering
to get back where you are
I'm offering the real me before
I'm offering the keys to my heart.
Yea if you're asking, I'm offering
to get back where you are,
I'm offering the real me before
I'm offering the keys to my heart.

02:09
|

When I did it to you
I didn't know
I didn't know
I run right through you
and you call my bluff
like I fall in love, oh I fall in love.
Then I run right through you
and I call it off
Then I come talk to you
say it's not enough
Oh you love to do, yea
oh and not let up
and I talk to lose you
oh it's tough to love
when you're riding through it
and you call it off.
Baby, love to do, yea,

oh I lit it up

03:18

Is this the one?
Is this the one, I've been looking for?

Yea I've been running running running running,
catch my drift?
i've been running running running running,
suits the restless
And every time I try it,

I'll hide a little piece,
stir up a little greed,
leave out a little me,
give up the beat,
give up the beat,
give up the beat.

Vertigo
04:58
|
|||
Heart like a riot, I'm emotional.
Keeping my eyes in, making me dizzy though (vertigo).
When I run out of options, I get hysterical,
keeping me locked in, giving me vertigo (vertigo).
(Are you?) feeling it all at once, feeling it all
giving me vertigo.
Giving me all I want, giving me all, giving me all,
giving me vertigo (vertigo).
Feeling it all at once giving me vertigo.
Giving me all i want, giving me all, giving me all
giving me vertigo.
But it hurts when I cull it, turn my back and desert it
(little call out for my writing, banished for my liking).
When I love it I call it and I can't deserve it
(my true love is shock high, when I love we all die).
I'm riding the current, and I'm hurdling through it
(little call out for the right thing, banished for my liking).
Wanna talk like I mean it but I don't deserve it, no I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it.
Heart like a riot, I'm emotional.
Keeping my eyes in, making me dizzy though.
When I run out of options, I get hysterical.
Running the clock and giving me vertigo.
Running the clock and giving me vertigo.
Feeling it all at once
feeling it all, feeling it all
giving me vertigo.
Giving me all I want
giving me all that I want
leave me lonely though, vertigo
(whatever I do, hey).
Feeling it all at once
feeling it all,
giving me vertigo.
Giving me all I want
giving me all that I want
leave me lonely though, vertigo
(whatever I do, hey).
Feeling it all at once
feeling it all,
giving me vertigo.
Giving me all I want
giving me all that I want
leave me lonely though, vertigo
(whatever I do, hey).
Feeling it all at once
feeling it all,

Giving me all I want

leave me lonely though, vertigo
(whatever I do, hey).
Feeling it all at once
feeling it all,
giving me vertigo.
Giving me all I want
giving me all that I want
leave me lonely though, vertigo.

Playing God Again
04:16
|
|||
So far and oh I'm waiting
for a clear sign to take.
So it's not my own fall that I'm breaking,
can I wheel it away?
can i deal it away?
me it away?
And I grip and hold control for nothing, babe,
Sieve through me down though I'm counting
Can I feel it away?
and feed it away?
can I be it away?
me it away?
And I want,
no, I need,
what I live for only hurts me.
And I fight it so hard wear my heart out,
crying so long day in day out,
the right call but the wrong me.
Yea here I go playing god again
playing god again,
playing god.
So far away oh my baby,
with the lease signed away.
Doing everything I know not to break me.
I can will it away, I can be away, I can feel it away
and feed it away. I feel it away and me it away
And all the ways I make my magical thinking
out of my head,
out of fear,
out of fear.
And I want, no I need
what I die for only hurts me.
And I fight it so hard wear my heart out,
crying so long day in day out,
the right call
but the wrong me
Yea here I go playing god again
playing god again,
playing god again,
playing god again,
playing god again,
playing god again,
playing god again,
playing god again,
playing god.

Won't Shy Away
03:11
|
|||
I gotta look and I'm hoping I
know when I take it too far I
won't shy away
oh its sad in a way
to reload on pain
ooooh and love it away
I gotta take it to heart when I
bail on the way and get caught but I
won't shy away
hold tight and follow my own way
and then walk right out on me
oh it sad in a way
in a subtle way
I got a look and I'm hoping I
know when I take it too far I
won't shy away
oh its sad in a way
to reload on pain
oooh we love it away
I gotta take it to heart when I
bail on the way and get caught but I
won't shy away
hold tight and follow my own way
a way to pull focus
and fool the night
and fool the night
won't shy away
oh it won't go away
can't be wrong when muse sings
I gotta take it to heart when I
barely went wrong and i'm hoping I
won't shy away
won't shy away
I got a look and i'm hoping I
and i can bail me on call when
won't shy away
won't shy away
I gotta think I can organize

Any evil, little muddy evil,

car is parked, oh I found my baby,

it keeps me from singing and I
(say i'm silly for it) and I know the answers
yea I know the answers.
and I'm rushing around
I'm rushing around
rushing around rushing around for
any evil
Any evil, any evil, any evil,
sinister and I know it.
I hurt you, baby, we agree on it,
I'm a fool and you love me for it.
You'll love me through many years and
many evils, many evils.
And I'm rushing around
I'm rushing around
I'm rushing around

any evil.
Any evil, any evil, any evil,
(any evil) ooh and I know it.
You hurt me baby, we agree on it
You're a fool and I love you for it,
I'll love you through many years and
many evils, many evils.

The Fragile Part
04:46
|
|||
Oooh tell me anything I've done
and I'll lock me up,
ridden of the enemy I was
while i'm young.
Fill me up with my mind on everything I've done for love.
Wrap it up, I'm turning my back on myself.
Wind me up, all my thoughts and my ways and my worries reveal.
Throw me in I'm heavy from my luck and the fear that it's not enough.
Oooh tell me anything I've done
and I'll box me out, hide you in me,
beat you to the punch,
a punisher.
Fool me once with my guard up,
everything I've done or not.
Yea wrap it up, I'm turning my back on myself.
Wind me up, all my fight and rage
and my worries reveal.
Oh throw me in, I'm heavy from my hell
and the fear that it can't be helped
Heard it from my heart,
heard it from the start
oh pull me in and knock me out,
here's the fragile part.
And who'd have thought my guard
would know me from the start
when you pull me in and knock me out
here's the fragile part.
Ooh tell me anything I've done
and I'll lock me up
ridden of the enemy I want
(my punishment)
fool me once with my eyes on
everything I've done
for love,
for love,
love, love.
And I heard it from my heart,
heard it from the start,
oh pull me in and knock me out
here's the fragile part.
And who'd have thought my guard,
would wreck me from the start
when you pull me in and knock me out
here's the fragile part.

So Close
03:14
|
|||
I remember it all
and its memory torturing me
before we can talk.
But you're far from me, inaudible,
I'm gonna get you back, babe,
and you'll save me.
Cause truth is always that the worst ones don't
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard.
Oh it's useless, honey, cause the worst of them don't
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard.
I really wanted to land,
just wanted the game plan.
And I'm not used to fighting,
oh I hide away.
And you're far from me, inaudible,
I'm gonna get you back babe, and you'll save me.
Cause truth is always that the worst ones don't
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard.
Oh it's useless, honey, cause the worst of us don't
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard
bite hard.
I really wanted to land, (who knew that I could say this)
just wanted a game plan. (so close my heart is breaking)
I really wanted to land, (who knew that I could taste this)
just wanted a game plan. (so close my heart is breaking)
I really wanted to land, (who knew that I could say it)
just wanted a game plan. (so close my heart is breaking)
I really wanted to land,
just wanted a game plan.
So close, so close.

Easy To Force It
03:25
|
|||
You're waiting for it all,
you're queuing up.
Coming walking through my door,
oh hear me out.
I was lonely before you pulled me out.
Can you wait for me now
while I find my own?
You creep me out, baby
Fill me out baby,
then wring me out baby, baby, baby.
And I say yea,
I was drawing hard lines
and I wasn't a gambler,
but you wring me out.
I was drawing hard lines
on the fault line
but you ring
beam me up
creep me up
freak me out
and fuck me up.
Lemme stop by when we're home, my love.
Oh I say yea, stop by when we're home, my love.
Say yea, stop by when we're home, my love.
Say yea, stop by when we're home, my love.
Say yea
I was drawing hard lines
on the fault line
but you ring
beam me up
creep me up.
I was drawing hard lines
on the fault line
but you ring
beam me up
creep me up.
