Better Man - Lyric Book
Fireside
Take a look at the frostbitten finger that lay in you hands
and hold them so tenderly
with two hearts
open wide
take a seat on the bench by the board walk and say
pretty things
that show off your dimples and tell me
just who you really are
our bodies burning ice in the snow flakes
that tell us something
maybe we didn’t understand
whisper secrets in the snow
Hold your breath and count to three
feel the touch of
coco seas
we are sheltered by the fireside
so let the storm just
rage out side
it's just you and me
tonight
Anchored by
the heart strings that tangle our eyes
intertwined
by the idea of you
and what you
could do
look around
and breath in the crisp air the feels your lungs
and sustains your ideas
and shapes you
into something strong
Hold your breath and count to three
feel the touch of
coco seas
we are sheltered by the fireside
so let the storm just
rage out side
it's just you and me x3
tonight
Moonrise
Beautiful mystery under their skin reveals a new found faith
the painted star dust covers their lies and takes it’s tole on me
a lover’s kiss, is beauty but loving is shredding my bones
colourful galaxies lace their eyes but shake their lovers web
Moonrise lovers
are dancing in my heart
Moonrise lovers
are toying with rain
Moonrise lovers
is all I see
Stop at the curb with a bottle in his hands
he lay down his soul, like any other man
he look up cried
he saw his dreams
in the shadow of the cold dust moon
strength in his mind crushed a bullet in his heart
a man’s greatest fear, is a love from the start
Moonrise lovers
are dancing in my heart
Moonrise lovers
are toying with rain
Moonrise lovers
is all I see
Circle you love
Circle their love (x4)
Moonrise lovers
are dancing in my heart
Moonrise lovers
are toying with rain
Moonrise lovers
is all I see
Better Man
Now you are a better man
then you deserve to be
now you think you need to be
something you’ll never be
So take what you want from this situation
but don’t let it go in the conversation about
you
and what you ‘ot to do
for yourself
you think to much, you hurt yourself don’t burn yourself
too bad
Because
I know the feeling of wanting and waiting and laking in social grace
And I know the feeling of loving and losing and taking my peace away
but don’t you say
that you’re not good enough
but don’t you say
that you’re not the one for me
la da de da
So just stop.
and breath
you’ll run yourself aground
So just stop.
and think
you’re to hard on yourself
so break what you want with in your head
but don’t let it out right through you hands
so just walk
talk
move and groove
to that song
thats in your head, it’s in your head, it’s in your ear
just let it out
Because
I know the feeling of wanting and waiting and laking in social grace
And I know the feeling of loving and losing and taking my peace away
but don’t you say
that you’re not good enough
but don’t you say
that you’re not the one for me
la da de da
Whiskey Lips
So pour another drink and put some records on
you tease me with a kiss on the cheek and wait for something more
but when I saw your face on that pillow case I knew it wasn’t true
So pinch me, I must be dreamin’ or thinkin’ of you
Your whiskey lips, on my mind make me lose sight of whats right
So take a sip, of this wine you’ll all know we’ll be just fine
your whiskey lips (x3)
A twist of lime in the air, tangles my tung and makes it hard to
say, what I want to
about how you change my heart beat with your lips
so enticing, inviting me to come and say hello
our whiskey lips, on my mind make me lose sight of whats right
So take a sip, of this wine you’ll all know we’ll be just fine
your whiskey lips (x6)
Fingertips
Burn, my fingertips
and I’ll still play you songs, to help you sleep
break, my back
and I’ll carry you home, when you need me too
a fire burns in my heart
that lasts for a lifetime
for you it never ends
The Pheonix saved us
started a flame in us
made it last forever
The ash from our hearts
births another bird
to start that flame again
Take, my hand
lead me through the darkness, I am lost sometimes
fighting, myself and I
fighting with my conscience, burning through my self control
my knuckles bleed from the walls I broke
breaking through my mind
The Pheonix saved us
started a flame in us
made it last forever
The ash from our hearts
births another bird
to start that flame again
City Heights
Fire escapes lead right to the sky
look up, look down, look all around
it’s grey in disguise
Bright lights, city heights
you could be my red light
I’d stop for you
a crack in the clay might tell you
everything you need it to
everything you wanted to know
needed to know
It’s just painted bricks from peoples dreams
it’s his, it’s her’s, it’s all of our’s
it’s just that machine
just stop
and see
time won’t wait for a minute of tranquility
it’s just you and me, checkin’ out
those brightlights
Burning down the lights
and makin’ it all bright, all night
that’s alright
Dreaming on the subway train
It’s making me go
just kinda sane
Crowded streets in my heart
lookin’ down the avenue
searchin’ feelin’ for a drink to start the night
steel pipes
twisted night
just grab my hand and squeeze it tight
one blink in you’ll miss it
two you’ll forget it
all those things you wanted to know
Burning down the lights
and makin’ it all bright, all night
that’s alright
Dreaming on the subway train
It’s making me go
just kind of sane

Bleeding Out
With our eyes
closed
and our hands
intertwined again
I just sit
here
nostalgically remembering
the fear in you heart
of me
from you
to me
you know the truth
but I’m still wondering
I’m bleeding out
bleeding from my fingertips (x2)
’m bleeding out
no regrets, no regrets just cigarette burns
Black
to white
it’s all we have left
if we stay
let us sing
about these wonderful lives we
deserve
now you laugh
still
lingers here
never to end
and never to stay
I’m bleeding out
bleeding from my fingertips (x2)
I’m bleeding out
no regrets, no regrets just cigarette burns
Bleed in my bones
Bleed in my skin (x2)
Yes I’m bleeding (x4)
Yes I’m bleeding out
bleeding from my fingertips (x2)
I’m bleeding out
no regrets, no regrets just cigarette burns
Tangle Me
Hold me close and whisper things that you would only say when I’m
not around, not around
close my eyes and sing to me these words I hear every night
in my dreams
I drown my tears with wine stained sin and fear the love that drags me in
when I’m with you, when I’m with you
Pull me away
drag me down and say to me
there’s just no way
I could be the air you breath
but I am addicted
even though I know you’re not for me
and I am constricted
by the poison ropes you use to tangle me
Cover up my eyes with your blind fold so I can finally see
see the truth, see the truth
time has taken bits of me now I can’t sleep when ever your
not around, not around
you try to hold your secrets in but confusion will only dry you thin
relentlessly, relentlessly
Pull me away
drag me down and say to me
there’s just no way
I could be the air you breath
but I am addicted
even though I know you’re not for me
and I am constricted
by the poison ropes you use to tangle me
Run Away
I was wondering the reason
for all this pain
I was questioning the truth so thin within the words you say
and I mistook them
to be only paper thin
so thin
within
these broken bones that I wear
Run away, run away
to break these chains
Run away, run away
to free my soul
Run away, run away
and bring your sin
Run away, run away
again
Now I’ve been talkin’ to fast so neither me or you can
understand
now I’ve been walkin’ to fast so neither one of us can
keep up
keepin’ up
keeps me up
so just keep on
letting me go
Run away, run away
to break these chains
Run away, run away
to free my soul
Run away, run away
and bring your sin
Run away, run away
again
Turn on a light in my heart
I am lost in the dark
back of my mind is where you stay
this feeling inside that I know is unfair
it’s hard to say these words I hate to tell
but I know it’s hard for me not you
Run away, run away
to break these chains
Run away, run away
to free my soul
Run away, run away
and bring your sin
Run away, run away
again
Spotlight
Picture perfect eyes
draws me into stay
they never let me go
they never let me go
take a photograph
of your mind and mine
and bring it to live
and bring it to your’s
and bring it to mine
and bring it to out’s
And these eye’s are alive (x3)
and they see you
standing
right outside the spotlight (x2)
and save me I’m falling
don’t save me I fell
and save me I’m falling
I fell for you
Vivid imagery
of a year near you
that made it so good
that made it so
that made it so good
the sweetest things
come at a price
and I’d pay that price
anytime
if only for you
And these eye’s are alive (x3)
and they see you
standing
right outside the spotlight (x2)
and save me I’m falling
don’t save me I fell
and save me I’m falling
I fell for you
Forget Your Name
Instance and memories in a line
hanging like socks drip and dry
draining down, seeping in
deeper and deeper down again
in my head hide and seek
siting here just trying to count
minds gone hand weak
wasting time putting records on
wind is blowing lights go out
floor is creaking windows shout
time is spinning time is spinning
what the hell do I hold on to x2
flicker like a wick of the candle in my heart
breath fast resent the dark
just the touch of your lips with a kiss filled with bliss
taring at my soul it won’t leave me
to the cold embrace of the empty bed
to the left of me
wind is blowing lights go out
floor is creaking windows shout
time is spinning time is spinning
what the hell do I hold on to x2
someone told me
to just forget your name and move on
I can’t shake it
the love that I sustain in my heart
you took it when you left to rest you head beneath
solid ground
but thats okay because i know you need it more then i do now
then i do now
wind is blowing lights go out
floor is creaking windows shout
time is spinning time is spinning
what the hell do I hold on
what the hell do I hold on
what the hell do i hold on
What the hell do i hold on
to
