Breathe

VERSE 1:
She cries all night and works all day
What's the point in life this way?
'Cause ev'rybody's lonely now
She tries to fight, but it's no use
'Cause in the end, it's self-abuse
'Cause she wont leave him to save face
CHORUS:
Breathe in and I will save you, I will rescue you
'Cause some things never turn out how they're meant to
Someone tried to save me but I let them down
Because that's just the way I am
And I'm never gonna live this one down
No, I'm never gonna live this one down
VERSE 2:
She makes sense half the time
The other half, it blows my mind
But I can't turn my back on her
She tried it once and she tried it twice
The second time was twice as nice
But ev'rybody's turned on me
CHORUS
CHORUS
OUTRO:
No, I'm never gonna live this one down
Because I let my personality drown

The Letter
04:24
|

|
VERSE 1:
What did the letter say, about the love you had?
What did the paper say, that made you look so sad?
Was it anything that you could turn around?
What did the people say, that left you taken back?
What did the policeman say, that made you dress in black?
Some mistakes can never be turned back
CHORUS 1:
Drifting through space
I cannot gravitate towards you
Leave just in case
I find myself in limbo's orbit
I'll see you there
I'm looking forward to an end of
Everlasting lies, in an everlasting light
VERSE 2:
What did your conscience say, before it broke you down?
What did the TV say, that made you leave this town?
Was it anything that we should know about?
What did your Mother say, that made it feel so wrong?
What did your Father say, that made the years so long?
Sometimes you wish you were never born at all
CHORUS 2:
Drifting through space
I cannot wrap my life around you
Just leave this place
Before I get lost in your orbit
I dream at night
I think about an end of all these
Everlasting lies, in an everlasting light
Everlasting, everlasting, everlasting lie
BRIDGE:
When you fall into the ocean, do you cry?
Does it matter that she's on the other side?
When you crash into the ocean, do you cry?
Does it matter that she's on the other side?
Now she's gone away
OUTRO:
What did the letter say?

Misunderstood
03:40
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
I can see inside you, you're trying to care
Although it looks like a stare
Feeling further from you, when I'm yearning for you
Understanding can be so hard to do
when you're misunderstood
I tried to make you love me, because I didn't think you would
CHORUS:
When you're alone, when you're alive
When you are falling, through my sky
When it's comforting to know, you're not alone
When you realise, you can come home
VERSE 2:
Hearts of silver and gold, sold for a dime
How is that not a crime?
She's beautif'ly deceiving, when your heart has done some time
CHORUS
BRIDGE
CHORUS
OUTRO:
Only open weekends, you play 'hard to get'
But there's no customers yet

Mavis
04:01
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Mavis, she is my friends' mother
She's got some problems and I don't know how to help her
Save us from everything you put them through
It's gonna take a heart of gold to receive you
You
CHORUS:
Mavis, come on and save us
Because we're only little boys and we need someone to save us
So come on Mavis
You know I really have no choice but to listen to your voice when you need me
So come on and bleed me
Come and bleed me dry
VERSE 2:
Because that's all you ever do
I can't think of a reason that would make me like you
Mavis, she's tired of everything going wrong
She's gonna end it all before it goes on too long
Too long
CHORUS
Bleed me to the bone
BRIDGE:
It's in my head, go away (x4)
YEAH!
CHORUS

Johnny (Part II)
03:15
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Sorry, about this world we put you in
Sorry, about this messed up world of sin
You know I tried to make it better
You cannott make fine gold from rusted steel
CHORUS:
What did we put your conscience through?
Nightmares of the seven-thirty news
This life was heading straight for you
I'm sorry that you had to lose
VERSE 2:
Johnny, you were our only son
Johnny, where did you get that gun?
I never thought you'd be a killer
I never thought you'd go so mad
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And everybody's falling down
And everybody's falling down
OUTRO:
Johnny, look where I got us now
Johnny...

Sunshine

|
VERSE 1:
Come on, Sunday
It's not like you've got anything you could be doing
So I'll wait until tomorrow
That's how long you've got to get here
PRE-CHORUS:
And it feels like a head rush
But to me, it's so much more
CHORUS:
When my sunshine has to fade
I lose myself in the shade
So I'll set my sights to a better light
So I can just get on with my life
VERSE 2:
Riding on the afterglow of
Ev'rything you think I know
But don't you change on account of me
There's only room for one of me
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
