Are you ready?
Are you ready?

. . .


You and I
Felt so good to begin with didn't we?
Well now it seems there's far too many adverts in between
And we don't speak
So we're left in constant silence
It's haunting me
So I'm ready now to fight this

You have the shield
I'll take the sword
I no longer love you
No longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you
No longer love you

You and I aren't working
Burning on the bridges now
We're trapped inside
Screaming won't somebody get me out

You have the shield
I'll take the sword
I no longer love you
No longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you
No longer love you

I no longer love you
No longer love you
No longer love you
No longer love you

And we don't speak
So we're left in constant silence
And it's haunting me
So I'm ready now to fight this

You have the shield
I'll take the sword
I no longer love you
No longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you
No longer love you
[x2]

You and I
Felt so good to begin with didn't we?
But now it seems these shields and swords are haunting me

. . .


[Verse 1:]
Today I feel the mood
And I don't feel like talking oh ho a waha
I wasn't ready to lose you
You're the first man to move me yeah
You help me feel alive
Got me up from 9 til 5 oh ho a waha
I could get through those days
With you on my mind yeah

[Bridge:]
Gotta try and move on
But I promise you
I will kiss your crown when life takes me down

[Chorus:]
I saved my last dance for you
My friend
I saved my last dance for you
My friend

[Verse 2:]
And all the seats in the crowd
Oh people love to move now oh ho a waha
I just can't feel the beat
Cos my heart's fallen out yeah

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I got my light in my hands
And your love in my heart
I got my light in my hands
And your love in my heart
I saved my last dance for you
My friend

[Verse 3:]
And it seems I can live my life with you as my rhythm

Yeah
And I know i'll find my feet and... beaming
Yeah yeah

[Chorus]

I got my light in my hands
And your love in my heart
I got my light in my hands
And your love in my heart
I saved my last dance for you
My friend

. . .


Makes me sit and wonder
How you're never bothered
When I say I wanna be free
I was rushing ahead
How could you not see that
Guess you won't miss
What you don't need

I promised with every word
That I would tell you the truth
Maybe it went unheard
You could have told me so
I would've never known

You're not here
You're not here with me
I guess that means I'm free

In and out
I'd rather go without
I can't defend you now
You would have let me down

If you find another
Maybe you'll discover
True love just won't get up
And leave

I promised with every word
That I would tell you the truth
Maybe it went unheard
You could have told me so
I would've never known

You're not here
You're not here with me
I guess that means I'm free
[x3]

You're not here
You're not here with me
I guess I just run free

. . .


Watching a fire
Skipping under thunder
Crossing a wire
Connecting undercover
Be mine
It's a physical thing
I wanna give you
All the love I can give
The love I can give

Cause you make me surrender
With you I'm forced to surrender

Burying rivers
Drowning all our fears
Burning the bridges
Pushing all the gears
Be mine
It's a physical thing
I wanna give you
All the love I can give
The love I can give

Cause you make me surrender
With you I'm forced to surrender

I'm letting go waving this
White flag
I've given up the fight
Given up the fight
Cause you make me surrender
Losing a battle
Head into the shallow
Let go of the handle
Let us be alone now
Let us be alone now
Let us be alone now

Cause you make me surrender
With you I'm forced to surrender

I'm letting go waving this
White flag
I've given up the fight
Given up the fight
Cause you make me surrender

Cause you make me surrender
With you I'm forced to surrender

. . .


I was told that loneliness was like
Spaces between the stars
Well it's empty between these
Starry eyes
I was told a dead man was heavier than a broken heart
Am I dead now?
My heart sure feels heavy

And I try not to feel it
Yeah I try not to feel it
So hard to believe it

I was told that time tiptoes by
Well I can hear his footsteps
Running past me
I was told I had a face
With nothing to fear
That's not the first thing
To scare me

And I try not to feel it
Oh I try not to feel it
It's so hard to believe it
But at the end of it all it's true

You shot this bullet
Through my bones
You shot this bullet
Through my bones

You shot me down
Down down I go
You shot me down
Down down I go

I get up take the phone from my hands
The glass from my lips
The pictures from my fingertips
I stand up I walk round and round
And I don't hear no sound
Only the words that you spoke to me

And I try not to feel it
Oh I try not to feel it
It's so hard to believe it
But at the end of it all it's true

You shot this bullet
Through my bones
You shot this bullet
Through my bones

You shot me down
Down down I go
You shot me down
Down down I go
You shot me down
Down down I go
You shot me down
Down down I go

. . .


He licks the paper turns the page
He writes the spoken word again
Releases pools of untrapped blood
To camouflage what's understood
Wrapped up in a golden throne
He undresses overloads
Walks quietly to a distant place
Honest lies in washed out grace

Oh oh oh indicate we're locked in
Oh oh oh with the kings and queens

We are the happiest pretenders
And we are the happiest pretenders.

Dressed down towards the Tyne
He chases evening's wonder whys
Then misses hours time again
Sweeps him underneath its wings

Oh oh oh indicate we're locked in
Oh oh oh with the kings and queens

We are the happiest pretenders
And we are the happiest pretenders

And if they try to catch us out
We'll chase them down
We're gonna chase them down
Cause we are the happiest pretenders

He wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights and leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrows unknown will
Let's it slide
Tastes the thrill
[x2]

Cause we are the happiest pretenders
And we are the happiest pretenders

And if they try to catch us out
We'll chase them down
We're gonna chase them down
Cause we are the happiest pretenders

He wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights and leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrows unknown will
Let's it slide
Tastes the thrill

. . .


If I see you again
Will you remember me?
If I see you again
Will you paint memories?

3 long years
Never fly away
3 small words
Speak again

Out of sight out of mind
What a sweet lie what a sweet lie
Out of sight out of mind
What a sweet lie what a sweet lie

If I see you again
Will you understand?
If I see you again
This was not my plan

3 long years
Never fly away
3 small words
Speak again

Out of sight out of mind
What a sweet lie what a sweet lie
Out of sight out of mind
What a sweet lie what a sweet lie

3 long years
Never fly away
3 small words
Please, speak again

Out of sight out of mind
What a sweet lie what a sweet lie
Out of sight out of mind
What a sweet lie what a sweet lie

If I see you again
Will you remeber me?

. . .


I just don't believe
I'm ready for today
This paranoid pain is coming back again
Oh that picture Momma placed
By the window how I hate my face

And there's people all outside
Behind the curtains silver lines
With all their lies
They're all like mine all like mine
But when the wind blows
I'll go I'll go

And I will be released
Break these chains set me free
And I will be released
Break these chains

I can think of brighter days
They were golden in a way
Words were not this grey
But now prices will be paid
When I walk in the path
Of all you guilty ones someday

Cause I cannot help my heart
When it's beating in the dark
Afraid next time I won't cry
I won't cry
And when the times change
I'll go away I'm away

And I will be released
Break these chains set me free
And I will be released
Break these chains

Like a pilot I will fly
Way up in the sky
I'll be free I'll be high high high

And I will be released
Break these chains
Break these chains
So I can be released
Praying on my knees
That I can be released
I will be released oh
I can be released
Praying on my knees
That I will be released
I will be released

And I will be released
Break these chains set me free
And I will be released
Break these chains
Set me free

Like a pilot I will fly
Way up in the sky
I'll be free I'll be high high high

And I will be released
Break these chains
Break these chains

I can think of brighter days
They were golden in a way
Words were not this grey
But I can break these chains

. . .


Lately I've been facing a foe/fall?
Holding onto something that means nothing but war
I've been cutting connections
Causing the walls to build up around me
And faces to fade into blue blue colours
I walk in shallow waters

Should've gone my own way
But I didn't run just to hide
I ran for a better life
For a better life

You're electric
You know you light up my world when its hard to take
So lets run away
Although I know you're electric
I know that lightning won't strike twice in the same place
So lets run away

I want you to know this love
I don't regret what we've done or who we are
No need to look for protection

Should've gone my own way?
But I didn't run just to hide
I ran for a better life
For a better life

You're electric
You know you light up my world when its hard to take
So lets run away
Although I know you're electric
I know lightning won't strike twice in the same place
so lets run away

I will fly
but you're standing here fixing my broken wings
Tryin to mend
Try to mend this mess I'm in

You're electric
You know you light up my world when its hard to take
so lets run away
Although I know you're electric
I know that lightning won't strike twice in the same place
So lets run away

You're electric
You light up my world when its hard to take
so lets run away

. . .


Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.

Meet me in the red sky and dance with me,
let the valley change you and the night set you free.
This dusk in the desert,
it's heaven at the gate.
You are my desire,
You are my escape.

Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.

Open up this moment and bury me inside.
I can see us changing,
like a season over time.
It's sin underminds us,
seflections of your life.
Drown me in the silence,
it will never come undone.

Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.

woah oh x 3

Shadows are falling,
tomorrow is closing in.
Stay with me 'til morning,
open up your wings.
I can hear your whispers calling out my name,
will you promise me that you'll steal the night again?

Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.
Ain't nobody can love me like you do.

woah oh x 3

Meet me in the red sky and dance with me,
let the valley change you and the night set you free.
This dusk in the desert,
it's heaven at the gate.
You are my desire,
You are my escape.

. . .


We're in one mind
We're in this together
And we're facing a fight
We're not trying to be clever no
We're not trying to be cool
Sometimes it feels like it's just me
And you

We have one life
To find higher ground
It can take us up
It won't bring us down
It's forever we're forever

We'll change it all
We'll rise then we'll fall
We'll love then get lost
In the light after dark

We're not alone now
You are the reason I am
Walking so tall
We're in the spotlight
We're on the floor
Wrapped in arms that make
Us feel secure

We have one chance
To go where we go
You have shown me
And now I have seen it I know
It's forever oh we're forever

We'll change it all
We'll rise then we'll fall
We'll love then get lost
In the light after dark

You and me
We're the light after dark
You and me
We're the light after dark

We'll change it all
We'll rise then we'll fall
We'll love then get lost
In the light after dark

. . .


If it be your will to speak,
Of memories we often shared,
Talk to me of days gone by,
Think of love and not despair,

And when I'm gone,
We'll meet again,
As often do the closest friends,
So dry your eyes and lay me down,
I tell you this is not the end,

And if someone must take my place,
For I'll be gone the longest time,
I'll wait, and I will understand,
A heart of thorns must leave the mind,

But when in time I see a face
The scars will fade, the heart will mend,
So dry your eyes and lay me down
I tell you this is not the end.

And from this day,
I wish you joy, from today,
I wish you peace,
I hope that life will pass you by,
As softly as the falling leaves,

And when your heart is full again,
Raise a glass for me my friend,
And dry your eyes, and lay me down,
I tell you this is not the end,
Oh dry your eyes,
And lay me down
I tell you this is not the end.
