The Submarines Album

Behind the sweet
Summer fade
And on a coast
Not Far away

Sometimes we glide
Sometimes we fall
And there are times
We don't get up at all

You had your doubts
We had our rows
Said our goodbyes but
Now we're taking vows

Behind the sweet
Summer fade
You'll knock me down
Like a tidal wave

I should be gone
Cast away
But still I'd love you
Through all peace and hate

In light of all
Darkest things
The fire glimmers
And the darkness sings

If you should go
I won't have you to blame
For my unhappiness for darker days
When will I learn
It's not your fault
Breaking down could not
Be cured by breaking up
Cause breaking down could not
Be cured by breaking up

I should be gone
Cast away
But still I'd love you
Through all peace and hate

In light of all
Darkest things
The fire glimmers
And the darkness sings

Forever more
Peace and hate
Love and war
Declare a new state

Forever more
Peace and hate
Love and war
Declare a new state

Yell and shout and kick me out
Then forget what we fought about
But don't give up
These storms are passing

Yell and shout and kick me out
Then forget what we fought about
But don't give up
This storm is passing

It's not so far to go
But tonight I won't be coming home
I'll come here on my own
When our nights and days turned to months and years
And I forgot how to be alone
I forgot how to love

Oh, but don't cry my baby
Theres blue skies but for you
Even when the clouds roll in
I still want you near me

When I found my place
Here is this new room
Everything went quite clear
And I could feel again, and I missed you
The whole of me missed holding you

But I, I won't cry my baby
Theres blue skies but, for me
Even when the clouds roll in
I still want you near me

Oh I said I'm not in love
You made me count the ways
But I couldn't hope to be both cause and bone for pain
It breaks my heart to break your heart
I know that means I'm still in love

Oh, so don't cry my baby
Theres blue skies but for you
Even when the clouds roll in
I still want you near me
I still want you near me
I still want you near me
Even when then clouds roll in
I still want you near me

Cut the rain, we two have swallowed trust
And you have changed
And I, I didn't change enough
And some have said,
That true loves something we are sure of
My only hope lies in your being confused
With all you said, I would wait one hundred summers
Just once again to be with you

On Monday evening, the cloudy skies
On two for Tuesday, I wanted to die
And so you love me, sometimes I find
But you only need me till the darkness takes the sun

Away from me, I've lost you
Away from me, I've lost you
Away from me, I've lost you
Away from me

I saw a silver sun
I wanted it to touch everyone
You have an arm to pull me back
But theres no way that I can give this up

Some other way, theres got to be another
Some other way, there has to be another
Some other way, theres got to be another way

We all are scientists who will not be afraid
I'm not saying that theres no hope for this
And you have tried to change my mind
But we all know, our systems broken
And I, I'll never vote again

Got a brand new roof above my head
All the empty boxes thrown away
I rearranged the place
A hundred times today
But the ordering of objects
Couldn't hide what's missing

All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again

Got myself a bottle of red wine
Got a night of nothing else to do
I think I might know
What I really want
But is a brighter discontent
The best that I could hope to find?

Got a big black television set
Now I can watch just what I want
But I'm here staring up
At pictures on the wall
And where are you,
You're still stuck inside them all

All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again

But love is not these belongings
That surround me
Though there's meaning
In the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard

Got a desk I'll write myself a note
Pretending that it came from you
On hotel stationary
From the time we first met
Whatever I can do cause
I won't throw my hands up yet

All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again

But love is not these belongings
That surround you
Though there's meaning
In the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard

Well I'll be find if
I dont look around me now
Too much for what's gone
If only I can wait here just a little while
And let time pass in my room

Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain

I should have known you were
Gonna drift away

Ain't no sunshine
Ever gonna take this rain away

All I have's this hard drive
With no space left for a day
See how it becomes something
That we just put away
With this restlessness you can't sustain
And I guess you haven't seen enough
To make you wanna stay

Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain

You're going away now
But I'm not giving up
You're seventeen miles away
But I'm not giving up

Ain't no sunshine
Ever gonna take this rain away
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain

Want for more keeps
Stringing you along
But the love you make today
Could be the one to take you home
Strain to see what else is going on
But here you are and can you love
The way you're living now

Cause you are here and who you are
And faith can make you wild with hope
But now is where you are
Ready or not
We're gonna be here tomorrow
Whether or not
You've stopped your wondering
Ready or not
We're gonna be here tomorrow
Wild with hope in spite of everything

No we won't let
Self-doubt drag you down
And no one here would try
To keep you from the things you want
Think you'd like to leave us all behind
But here you are and can you love
The way you're living now

Cause you are here and who you are
And faith can make you wild with hope
But now is where you are
Ready or not
We're gonna be here tomorrow
Whether or not
You've stopped your wondering
Ready or not
We're gonna be here tomorrow
Wild with hope in spite of everything

Does every day feel like
A brand new chance to fall apart?
Seems like nobody else
Could ever understand
Does every day feel like
A brand new chance to fall apart?
And all the while
You're only doing the best you can
You can, You can

Cause you are here and who you are
And faith can make you wild with hope
But now is where you are
Ready or not
We're gonna be here tomorrow
Whether or not
You've stopped your wondering
Ready or not
We're gonna be here tomorrow
Wild with hope in spite of everything

We're gonna be here today
We're gonna be here today

Darlin' I had the best intentions
But I dug myself a hole
With a modern invention

Baby did I make you feel that
You didn't have the mind
To reconcile the truth
In a troubled time?

Skipping messages...
Good machines don't lie

From here we roll on
From here we roll on
From here we roll on
From here we roll on

Without warning I'm here alone again
High in the basement
Wondering what you meant by goodbye
Cause I stopped listening

You've got a way with words
Just sentiment without
Revealing how you feel
Or if you plan to live without me now

Good night baby if you can hear me
How long has it been
Since you came looking and saw
Me as I really am?

You've got a way with words
Just sentiment without
Revealing how you feel
And if you plan to live without me now

Then I should look up
And see if you're gone
No sense in pretending
Down here all alone
How could I fall when
I'm still underground?
But I can't admit where
We've gone wrong

Well I've already heard the truth
And what you thought I couldn't know
You talk pretty to a girl
But somehow you're already on your own

Good night baby
Good night baby

You got away with words
Just sentiment without
Revealing how you feel
And since you plan to live without me now
I'm on my own

I heard a ghost of your voice
Long after you had left the room

Couldn't quite make out the words
But the laugh was unmistakably you

How will I ever get the sound
Of you out of my head?
I guess that I should only be...
So lucky

And I saw my shadow next to yours
Slowly fade away
And I saw my shadow next to yours
Just fade away

We had this conversation
So many times before

And I know that you are tired
Of the same questions but maybe
If I keep asking them
The sounds from your mouth
Will form words that
I want to hear

And I saw my shadow next to yours
Slowly fade away
And I saw my shadow next to yours
Just fade away

The more delicate the task
You find the shakier the hand
You try to undersand and fight it
All that you need
Has brought you to your knees
Trembling with greed still you fight it

And it's funny how the darkest things
You only find when you've been searching
Don't back down from what you need
Guiltiness it only makes you mean

When you're alone would you put your hands
Through the camera lens to reach her?
Behind the screen does she call your name
When you hear it through the stream
Do you fight it?

And it's funny how the darkest things
You only find the light you bring
Don't back down from what you need
Guiltiness it only makes you mean

So here we are
Lovers in the room breathing oxygen
Still you fight it
Well come move my hands
I will not breakdown
Or turn into a pop-up advertisement

And it's funny how the darkest things
You only find when you've been searching
Don't back down from what you need
Guiltiness it only makes you mean

And it's funny how the darkest things
You only find when you've been searching
Don't back down from what you need
Guiltiness it only makes you mean

I'd have waited a lifetime for a sign
Only to fall apart when love arrives
But we're coming home
We're coming home
We're coming home
