In the happyland
In the happyland
In the happyland

Poison my sight while you kiss me goodnight
In the happyland
Go on and poison my sight while you kiss me goodnight
In the happyland
Well your daddy left home
Mum is still on the phone
Lost belief in
Love's deceiving
Always going, went, gone
Poison my sight while you kiss me goodnight
In the happyland

Close the door and leave your key
You think you've got me but you'll see
When you're starting to lose me
I'm already gone

In the happyland
In the happyland

Night lingers on, we'll be safe until dawn
In the happyland
As the night lingers on, we'll be safe until dawn
In the happyland
Cause your daddy left home
Mum is still on the phone
Lost belief in
Love's deceiving
Always going, went, gone
Night lingers on, we'll be safe until dawn
In the happyland

Close the door and leave your key
You think you've got me but you'll see
When you're starting to lose me
I'm already gone

In the happyland
In the happyland

They will hurt you
And desert you
That's what they do
Run

In the happyland
In the happyland

You'll find me singing at the bar with no name
Without a closing time or someone to blame
I'm still restless, growing out of my skin
And it's just me and Charlie when happy hour begins

I try but I'm still nowhere
Just one wrong turn
So listen if you still care
Before I burn

Do what you want, love
The present won't change
Drag me up above
Save me for a day
Thinking the wrong thoughts
Will I ever learn?
I know I've paid a lot for that
Save me for a day

Take the first train that I see
Before I explode
I don't care where it takes me
Just want to go
'Cause I'm so tired of what you want me to be
Go on and miss me, honey
It doesn't matter to me

I try but I'm still nowhere
That's what I've earned
So listen if you still care
Before I burn

Do what you want, love
The present won't change
Drag me up above, honey
Save me for a day
Thinking the wrong thoughts
Will I ever learn?
I know I've paid a lot for that
Save me for a day
Save me for a day
Save me for a day
Save me for a day

Autopilot, take my memories
'Cause I won't need them anymore
Autopilot, take my hand and lead me home
Because my eyes are getting sore

All the clouds are closing in
I have lost my safety pin
I guess my shell was way too thin
For a war that I can't win

And I think they've already won
'Cause my love is gone
My love is gone
I think they've already won
'Cause my love is gone
My love is gone

It doesn't matter what I tell you
'Cause you stopped listening years ago
It doesn't matter how much I try to make you see
But I just thought that you should know

That it's too late to repair
Follow signs that lead nowhere
I will burn my luggage there
'Cause I'm too tired to be scared

And I think they've already won
'Cause my love is gone
My love is gone
I think they've already won
'Cause my love is gone
My love is gone

My love is gone
My love is gone
My love is gone
My love is gone

What's the time, love of mine?
Too late to go out
No conscience left, can't get no rest
Can't wait, must go out

Keep on running
Something isn't right
Save me morning light
Baby, baby, please

So
Are you scared, honey?
Are you scared of me?
Are you scared, honey?
Are you scared?

Where's my dream, Jimmy Beam?
Too late to find out
Is there more than this kitchen floor?
Let's drain my doubts

Keep on trying
Something isn't right
Save me morning light
Baby, baby, please

So
Are you scared, honey?
Are you scared of me?
Are you scared, honey?
Are you scared?

So
Are you scared, honey?
Are you scared of me?
Are you scared, honey?
Are you scared?

I'm scared, my lady
I'm scared, honey

There is no room for love
Wondering what we're made of
Silence is all I've got
There is no room for us

Needles or thread
Love me instead
Dance to a cry for help

Soon will not be enough
What's gonna keep me up?
When will you ask me to stop?
Soon will not be enough

Needles or thread
Love me instead
Dance to a cry for help

Widow bird, lead the wind
Take out cries, make it sing
Broken clocks, still here you ring
Our time

Needles or thread
Drain me instead
Dance to a cry for help

When this life ends
And I'll be silent
I'll think of you for a while
And I'll go out with a smile
Remember that day when you caught me singing
And I was yours for a while
I shall go out with a smile

Sing me to sleep, Elina
When there's nothing left to see
And although we're all in a line-up
It is always you and me

When this world falls
We ran out of walls
The day that we get to be united with the sea
Times of forsaking
My mind is aching
You let me rest for a while
I am safe by your side

Sing me to sleep, Elina
When there's nothing left to see
And although we're all in a line-up
It is always you and me

Sing me to sleep, Elina
When there's nothing left to see
And although we're all in a line-up
You've brought so much life to me

Each time I'm alone I just think of his voice
Keep me occupied
I go out every night just to drown it in noise
I'd rather dance than hide

And I don't care who you are
But I love you
Just need someone to hold
I don't care who you are
I shall love you
'Cause it beats being alone

You think it's for real 'cause you read in a book
This is the way it is
I'm sorry to tell you you're someone I took
A fill in for what I miss

And I don't care who you are
But I love you
Just need someone to hold
I don't care who you are
I shall love you
'Cause it beats being alone

And I don't care that the truth goes far
I don't care what we are
I don't care
'Cause I don't need another scar on this worn-out heart

I don't care who you are
But I love you
Just need someone to hold
I don't care who you are
I shall love you
It's so hard to be alone

Sweet maple trees, will you wait for me?
The spring is coming in, but I'm not ready
I've got you
Who needs them?
They'll just hurt me in the end
Only you
I don't care
'Cause I know you're always there

Oh no
Is there anyone who knows,
where do all the people go?
Time is running out in the sand
Are you waiting for me at the end?

Sweet April sun, got your light turned on
Gloves come off when you've just begun
I've got you
Who needs them?
They'll just hurt me in the end
Only you
I don't mind
A better friend is hard to find

Oh no
Is there anyone who knows,
where do all the people go?
Time is running out in the sand
Will I see you again at the end?
At the end?
Are you waiting for me at the end?

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Where have you been?
Bruises on your body, a flesh wound on your chin
Why won't they do something?
Why won't they do something?
Why won't anyone do something?
You're calling out for mummy, but there's no one there
And now you're all surrounded but no one can hear
When will they do something?
Why won't they do something?
When will anyone do something?

Try to leave a mark
Who wants to live in vain?
But they won't ever listen
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
Singing "it's gonna be okay"

You lost the grip of her hand as the gun fell to the ground
It's hard to slip and then land without making any sound
Why won't they do something?
Why won't they do something?
Why won't anyone do something?
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Where have you been?
Went looking for your ethics in the recycle bin
When will they do something?
Why won't they do something?
When will anyone do something?

Try to leave a mark
Who wants to live in vain?
But they won't ever listen
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Singing "it's gonna be okay"

The tallest trees will tell you I wasn't like this from the start
But if you really love me, lock me up when it gets dark
I've been inside this body for twenty-seven years
I know they stole my laughter, they will never get my tears

Try to leave a mark
Who wants to live in vain?
But no one ever listens
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
I hope it's gonna be -

I thought that autumn couldn't fool me
That my heart would grow back eventually
Then winter came and overruled me
And dragged me down down, I'm going down
I'm going down down, I'm going down

Common Henry, dance my way
Forget tomorrow, live today
Don't listen to a word they say
Say what you want
What do you want?
Just don't ask me to stay

Springtime
New year, new start
All the birds flew back to give me CPR
Summer sirens
We know where you are
You're going down down, you're going down
I'm going down down, I'm going down

Common Henry, dance my way
Forget tomorrow, live today
Don't listen to a word they say
Say what you want
What do you want?
Just don't ask me to stay

No one's gonna bring me down
No one's gonna bring me down
No one's gonna bring me

Common Henry, dance my way
Forget tomorrow, live today
Don't listen to a word they say
Say what you want
What do you want?
Just don't ask me to

Common Henry, dance my way
Forget tomorrow, live today
Don't listen to a word they say
Say what you want
What do you want?
Just don't ask me to stay

Common Henry, dance my way
Common Henry, dance my way
Common Henry, dance my way
I said common Henry, dance my way

I can't remember a word they said
With my shrink in Bahamas resting his head
Newlywed, go to bed
Conversation with the laundry machine
I'm tired now, don't be mean
Make me fit, make me clean

'Cause we're running out of time and I'm losing my mind
They said I would be fine but I'm never fine
We're running out of time 'cause I'm losing my mind
And where are you?

'Cause I don't know where I should go
Darling
I am borderline
Thought things would change, but I'm deranged
It's just another Saturday night
Come watch me drown and get what's left at the lost and found

Four AM, did I lock the door?
I always miss you but I'm never sure how you feel
Is there more?
The monster that sub-let my head
is making new friends under the bed
"I'll make it stop", that's what you said

But we're running out of time 'cause I'm losing my mind
They said I would be fine but I'm never fine
We're running out of time 'cause I'm losing my mind
And where are you?

'Cause I don't know where I should go
Darling
I am borderline
Thought things would change, but I'm deranged
It's just another Saturday night
Come watch me drown and get what's left at the lost and found
Watch me drown
You'll get what's left at the lost and found

You led me down from my ledge
Gave my circle a brand new edge
You found the pieces left of me
Sewed them together carefully

And I'm not gonna lie to you
I'm not gonna do the things I've learned I should do
I'm not gonna hide
'Cause I choose you
I choose you
I choose you

You lift me up when I am low
You are the sun that makes me grow
Let's get rid of old remorse
'Cause the truth is that I am yours

And I'm not gonna lie to you
I'm not gonna do the things I usually do
I'm not gonna hide
'Cause I choose you
I choose you
I choose you

Don't care what they say
About re-played mistakes
'Cause everything changes
Starting today

I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
