Mêlée Album

I’ve looked for love in stranger places
But never found someone like you
Someone who’s smart
Makes me feel I’ve been holding back
An now there’s nothing I can do

Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all
Most of all it’s built to last
It’s built to last
(It’s built to last)

All of our friends saw from the star
So why didn’t we believe it too?
Now look where we are
You’re in my heart now
And there’s no escaping it for you

Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
Most of all it’s built to last

Walking on the hills at night
With the fire works and candle light
You and I were meant to get love right

Cause this is real and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all
Most of all it’s built to last
(It’s built to last)

Cause you are the sun in my universe
Consider the best when we felt the worst

But most of all
Most of all
Most of all it’s built to last

This picture says so many things
I wish I never had the nerve to say to,
to say to you.

But I could be so many things
I wish I could never be in front of you,
in front of you.

You say that you never believe
You say that it's time.

Oh you can find a way
Through the rain, the rhythm of the rain.
Songs from your past will play
Through the rain, the rhythm of the rain.

Falling down in every way, letting go of memories
They float away, far away.

Trying hard to keep in mind,
Once something's gone you never can go home again, go home again.

Don't stop now the way you're breathing.
Don't stop now the way you're breathing.
Oh just look in the eye of a storm, you can't fight tonight

Frequently baby I'm out of my mind
Running around with you
Searching your eyes for an answer of something true
But when I turn back around to forget you
You've gone and run away
I'd kiss you goodbye if I thought it would make you stay

She's just a teenage maniac with my heart out on the dance floor
She's just a teenage maniac with my heart out on the dance floor
Oh, I'm running away from you

Yesterdays world fighting for change and letting their memories look so sad
And you try to hold onto days that you wish we had
Now now, this is supposed to be my hit song
But then I wasted it all on you
Tomorrow is near and I'm not gonna waste it too

She's just a teenage maniac with my heart out on the dance floor
She's just a teenage maniac with my heart out on the dancefloor
te-te-te-teenage maniac with my heart out on the dancefloor
Oh, I'm running away from you

(Chrous repeat)

Devils and angels on this old street
22 years and I'm still asleep at home,
It's all that I've known
Most of my friends have all moved away,
Gone off to college to find their weight in gold

Every day is a lifetime,
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime

There's nothing real on my TV screen
It's all a network reality
And it shows in our broken homes
Most of my friends are all moving back
To a life less certain than yesterday
It's a backwards step we made

Every day is a lifetime,
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime
And we'll walk free in the end
We're all working hard
Not sure if it will pay
Can you believe
That the last few years left us poor and here today?

Devils and angels on this old street
Now they got the same secrets as you and me
So let's open our doors,
Let's open our doors, for the world to see

Everyday is a lifetime,
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime,
And we'll walk free in the end
Everyday is a lifetime, it's a lifetime under the sun

I bet you want to know who's coming
coming to the party
My friends are drinking satisfaction
I've been mixing tonic and spite.

Stop now you've gotta move on.
Somehow she took you like a pawn.
Stop now you've gotta move on
And win this endless game

And drive away. (Hey!)
I can't get myself to drive away. (Hey!)
Spilling oil down my escape.
You were over me in no time
You can close that door, you can close that door
But I can't drive away.

Sunset a bonafide disaster
Hiding in deceit of my fear.
My friends I know they tried to tell me
But I was too stubborn to hear.

Stop now you're not gonna save her.
Somehow she'll lead you into danger.
Stop now you're not gonna save her
And win this endless game

Someone cries, and it washes the street with tears
But when they are mine
They collect in my head for years
Rain or shine, still I'm standing on all I said
'Cause it's in my soul
Carry on when the feeling's dead

And if you can't hold on
Let it go and come back in your heart
And if you can't hold on
Maybe it's not time for you
But if you can't hold on, on your very last try
I'll be there in the morning to pull you through

Someone dies, late at night and I'd never know
Even if I did, so afraid of the face I'd show
I feel trapped
And enslaved to this dark contrast
I need a feeling now
Give me something that's gonna last

Let it go and come back in your heart
And if you can't hold on
Maybe it's not time for you
But if you can't hold on
On your very last try
I'll be there in the morning to pull you through

I want to be free
I want to be free
I want to be free
Yes I want to be free

I want to be free
Yes I want to be free
Oh, I want to be free
Yes I want to be free

You say you want to be free
But you can't fool me
You say you want to be free
Oh, but you can't fool me
You say you want to be free
But you can't fool me
You say you want to be free
Oh, but you can't fool me

Oh, and if you can't hold on
You can't hold on
You can't hold on
I'll be there
I'll be there

Oh, and if you can't hold on
Let it go and come back in your heart
And if you can't hold on
Maybe it's not time for you
And if you can't hold on
On your very last try
I'll be there so you know that you're not alone

Not giving you up to the devils inside your head.
Not gonna let go till the answers are clear.
There's dark clouds moving in.
So many a times when the walls start to breathe you hear (shh... nobody knows)
Still nobody knows but they've got their own plans
And I'm afraid for you
And I'd like to end this soon.

'Cause it's you in my arms tonight.
I don't need an imitation.
Yeah, it's you that I'm thinkin of.
I don't need an imitation.
I just want the real creation.

Been spinning around now the phantoms embrace your fears.
Wrapped up in the eyes of the pictures you scattered
All throughout your room.
No one's there, who you talkin to?

'Cause it's you in my arms tonight.
I don't need an imitation.
I don't need an imitation.
Oh, it's you in my arms tonight.
I don't need an imitation.
Yeah, it's you that I'm thinkin of.
I don't need an imitation.
I just want the real creation.

Come and look
Describe what you see.
Is there hope standing next to me?
Behind the hurt.
Behind the pain.
Nothing resolves when you hide away? Ohh.

'Cause it's you in my arms tonight.
I don't need an imitation. (I don't need an imitation)
Yeah, it's you that I'm thinking of.
I don't need an imitation. (I don't need an imitation)
Yeah, it's you in my arms tonight.
I don't need an imitation. (I don't need an imitation)
Oh, it's you that I'm thinkin of.
I don't need an imitation.
I just want the real creation.

If I had more time with you
Things would surely change, I'd make your problems fade.
If fate were different
You'd be here.
Just know the past is thorugh, why can't you break away?

I first fell over, falling over you
On broken glass some things aren't made to last.
Street signs that we passed, she said you're driving way too slow but I don't mind.

Know your love carries on
And follows you back to my heart.
Know your love carries on
And follows you back to me
Even though, the ends unknown.
We can make this unpaved road our home.

Your ivory arm with dark tattoo
A painful memory that never fades away.
Now blue skies are changing into grey
This cynic's lullaby reflects the last refrain.
Yea she said her father never really cared
While growing up he always disappeared.
Poor angel eyes, you're scared.
We never stood a chance, but girl we took the dare.

Know your love carries on
And follows you back to my heart.
Know your love carries on
And follows you back to me
Even though, the ends unknown.
We can make this unpaved road our home.

No! You're keeping me away
But it's ok, it's ok.
We all tend to break the rules
We all make mistakes.
It's not too late to get it right. (Know your love carries on)
Know your love carries on (Know your love carries on)
Know your love carries on (Know your love carries on)
Yea your love carries on (Know your love carries on)
Know your love carries
Know your love carries on

Now, I don't have to climb the highest mountain,
and I don't have to sail the seven seas,
no, I don't have to push my self through desert sands,
'cause she's gonna find me here.

And I don't have to put on all my best clothes,
And I don't have to put on a show,
No, I don't to act like a total stranger,
'cause she's gonna find me here.

When she finally arrives, it'll be right on time.
And I 'll know that it's real 'cause the light in her eyes,
will look through & show what a fool I have been,
To search far and wide with my heart in my hands.

And I don't have to worry about her,
'cause I know she's fine now on her own.
Now I can put my mind on things in my own life,
'cause she's gonna find me here.

You know that she's gonna find me here.
And when she arrives, it'll be right on time,
and I'll know that it's real 'cause the light in her eyes,
will look through and show me what a fool I have been,
to search far and wide with my heart in my hands.

& I don't have to cut up my heart,
into pieces so small,
and give them to those who don't care.
No, I don't have to search for one girl,
in the depths of my soul,
'cause she's gonna find me, she's gonna find me, you know she's gonna find me here.

I don't have to search far & wide, 'cause she's gonna find me here

New York City's got a colder winter
Than where I live this time of year.
I wouldn't know cuz I missed my flight
And went out instead.
Handful of friends with some dynamite
Set to explode if you do it right.
Right off a cliff on a Saturday night.
Should have stayed at home.
I never would have met her there.

OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.
I never knew about her.
OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.

I should have listened to the first time
Mitch Ryder warned me
About the psycho with the blue dress on.
I tried to run but she's so so good at keeping up.
I had it coming or so they said.
If only I had just stayed in bed.
Gonna sue Jet Blue for everything they put me through.

OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.
I never knew about her.
OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.
OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.
(Biggest mistake, biggest mistake)
I never knew about her.
OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.

Wake me up from the nightmare I'm in.
She's a certified psycho and she's pulling me in.
Wake me up from the nightmare I'm in.
She's a certified psycho.
Can anybody help me out?

OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.
I never knew about her.
OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.
[x2]

OH! OH NO!
She's my biggest mistake.

You got what im looking for
i got what you came here for
you got what i need
and i want to start spending it now

through distance and time
we lose our confinement
few months go by
years i might die
so here in my mind
i dream of the time
i can get you alone
so close and alone

you got what im looking for
i got what you came here for
you know what we need
and we need each other

i want but i cant afford
you know what im saving for
and i want it now

the freeways are packed
and my fuels burning
i cant turn back
the exits are stacked
so i sit here instead
and try to forget
that i want you alone
so close and alone

so dont hide you hearts desire
and let me light your sole on fire
one crazy interview when i get alone with you

and she said not without that ring on my hand
we cant go further
and i said wait until you see what ive got in store for you then

I got in a fight
Over some stupid insecurities
Stepped out of the light
When did we lose our old identities?

Now my white flags are waving around
Cause you don't need your best friends bringing you down
Something in the air, we're smoking a fire
Caught in my eyes, our eyes
Singin

Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Get up, be strong enough
(Stand up, stand up)
I'm trying hard to be myself again
To be myself again

I've been trippin over all the rules
Living my life somebody else's way
I've been sinkin on a ship of fools

Now my white flags are waving around
Cause the choices I've made ran me into the ground
Someone's at the crest, digging me out
It's you, I hear you
Singing to me

Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Get up, be strong enough
(Stand up, stand up)
I�m trying hard to be myself again
Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Brothers, be strong enough
(Stand up, stand up)
We�re trying hard to be ourselves again
To be ourselves again

When plans go wrong
They all set the song
When plans go on their own
Ruing the day

Stand up, stand up
I gotta be strong enough
I'm trying hard to be myself again
So stand up, stand up
Brothers, be strong enough
We're trying hard to be ourselves again, again

Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Stand up, stand up, stand up

Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Stand up, stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
Stand up, stand up

What I want you've got
And it might be hard to handle
Like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got's full stock
Of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how I can't explain

Well, well you, you make my dreams come true
Well, well, well you, you make my dreams come true

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
Cause I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same

Well, well you, you make my dreams come true
Well, well, well you, you make my dreams come true

I'm down on my daydream
Oh that sleepwalk should be over by now I know

Well, well you, you make my dreams come true
Well, well, well you, you make my dreams come true
