Oh Daniel lyrics - Civil Twilight

The sun rose this morning
Over my bruised head
I can't remember the things I'd said
The air is getting dryer
The days slip through my hands
Today I hope to know, to understand

Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew
What I was doing

I think she'll move out West
Be with the ones she knows
Leave the wreckage of this one man show
And my hands will keep shaking
And my eyes will stay wet
The more I try to remember the more I forget

Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew
What I was doing

You can do it all right
Love everyone in sight
Live out your dreams and take on the night
You can do the best
Anybody's done
But you're still gonna end up hurting someone

Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew
What I was doing

Oh Daniel I wish I knew
Oh Daniel I wish I knew

Holy Dove lyrics - Civil Twilight

Would the moon rise, the sky will fall
Would the moon rise, the sky will fall
And I'm not going down with the rest of you
You don't have to believe whatever I'm saying
You don't have to break to whoever I'm praying
If that don't change, what's gonna happen?
And I'm not going down with the rest of you!

Would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you

I may be crazy and I know you're fine
Yeah I may be crazy, yes I know you're fine
But I've got something that will blow your mind
And I'm not going down with the rest of you!

Would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you

In a flash I will be gone
In a flash I'll prove them wrong
In a flash I'll float away to another age

Would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you

Would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you
I'm not going down with the rest of you!
I'm not going down with the rest of you!

When, When lyrics - Civil Twilight

Wanna see the lights in your eyes
I wanna see the shadows on your face
I wanna see the mountains that you climb
I wanna see the rivers that you chase
Wanna lose, wanna lose
Wanna lose myself again
Something this beautiful should never go without a friend

When, when
When am I gonna see you again
When, when
When am I gonna see you again

Late September
I heard myself on the radio
There's a first time for everything
And then there's a time to go
So you walk through those doors
And you got on that airplane
And the question that's saying in my brain

When, when
When am I gonna see you again
When, when
When am I gonna see you again

I will be who I always was
I'll be who I've always been
A captain on the waves
A leaf in your ear
Nothing's the matter
It's just a matter of time
Even know that there's not a soul in the world
That can tell me when or why

When, when
When am I gonna see you again
When, when
When am I gonna see you again
Tell me when, when
When am I gonna see you again
When, when
When am I gonna see you again
(When am I, when am I, when am I)
When, when
When am I gonna see you again
(Tell me, tell me)
When, when
When am I gonna see you again
When am I, tell me now
Tell me when
When am I gonna see you again
(Tell me when am I)

Story Of An Immigrant lyrics - Civil Twilight

What am I to build
If my hands are broken?
If I'm not the chosen one
What am I to build?

Where is my heart beating
Somewhere under that water
If I drive will I get over
Will I join the deep?

So, love is still time
And dance the life that is eternal
And the words fall, no meaning
Change their feeling

Like a first born,
Ready to begin
Ready to begin

All of my possessions
They're lying on the backseat
I tidy and I clean but it's never neat
Such as my life

And so, I must have turn
And danced the life that is eternal
And the words fall, no meaning
Change their feeling

Like a first born
Ready to begin
Ready to begin

Just one step, just one step
Just one step, just one step

Let the frozen carry me
Over water to be free
Where the other half begins
Where she waits for me

Let the frozen carry me
Over water to be free
Where the other half begins
Where she waits for me

Let It Go lyrics - Civil Twilight

Sleep like a lion under cover warm
With the fury lying in your bones
Doubt is the warmth inside your coldest thought
Fear is the rope that drags you down
Just let it go
Just let it go

First of the first of the first son
Born on the night of a winter storm
The weight that you've carried for so long
It has made you tired, but it hasn't made you strong
Just let it go
Just let it go

Let it go, like I know you can, like I know you will
Let it fall, like the crumbling walls of Jericho
Let it go, let it go...

Let the wind pass through your fingers
And trying reaching out for me

Let it go, like the falling leaves of Babylon
Let it go, like I know you will, like I know you can
Come on man
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go...

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

River Child lyrics - Civil Twilight

I never had a chance babe
My soul was chained and locked away
But some sort of miracle
Found me on that lonely day
Never thought it would be this easy
Never thought I would hear myself say
I would hear myself say

I'm running free, I'm running wild
I'm running like a river child
I'm running free, I'm running wild

Somewhere in the darkness
Somewhere in the distance
A voice is being born
From the life in your kiss
And all the valleys that were in my way
Lead me to this day
Lead me to this day

I'm feeling this way
I'm running free, I'm running wild
I'm running like a river child
I'm running free, I'm running wild

Somewhere in the morning
I feel a heat falling over me
Don't move your hand away
Without it I would surely break
Without it I would surely break

Somewhere in the morning
I feel a heat falling over me
The man that couldn't run
Is moving like a blazing sun
Like a blazing sun

I'm feeling this way
I'm running free, I'm running wild
I'm running like a river child
I'm running free, I'm running wild

All My Clothes lyrics - Civil Twilight

Out of the confusion, out of the ocean
She rose to the light, but never to see me
The rhythm and the flow, how do I let her know?
How do I explain the pathway to the sea?

I wanna take off all my clothes and be the truth
I wanna take off all my clothes for you

The heat of the window pane, the tingle of the rain
The voice of harmony sings to the full moon
The shoelace strings, the melody begins
The trembling hand conducting the symphony

I wanna take off all my clothes that you've never seen
I wanna take all these rags off of me
I wanna be the warmth you feel from far away
I wanna take off all these things away

How many scars will it take to remind us
How many scars will it take to remind us
That love is blindness
That love is blindness

I wanna be the winter breeze that carries you home
I wanna be the only heart you hold
I don't need to see the light to know what is true
I'm gonna take off all my clothes for you

The Other Side lyrics - Civil Twilight

I could hear the music from across the valley
Where the smoke hangs in the pine trees
And I could hear the people shouting and jiving
People not like me

Something in the water told me
I could walk across this valley
I could break down those walls
And show her my heart
Something in the water told me
There's a better place I can be
Right there, right there waiting on the other side
Waiting on the other side

She says I should be there
But something's telling me to stay away
Instinct or fear, I can't say
But there's only one pathway
From where I am and where you are
Only one light in the darkness, darkness

Something in the water told me
I could walk across this valley
I could break down those walls
And show her my heart
Something in the water told me
There's a better place I can be
Right there, right there waiting on the other side
Waiting on the other side, the other side

I never knew what I was doing
I was too young to see
I never knew what I was doing
But now I know that I could be
I could be your shining stone
If you let me

Something in the water told me
I could walk across this valley
I could break down those walls
And show her heart
Something in the water told me
There's a better place I can be
Right there, right there

Something in the water told me
I could walk across this valley
I could break down those walls
And show her heart
Something in the water told me
There's a better place I can be
Right there, right there waiting on the other side
Waiting on the other side
Waiting on the other side
Waiting on the other side

Didn't Know When To Stop lyrics - Civil Twilight

How could I say what it is I want
What it is I want from this
How could I explain the things I do
The things I do for a kiss

I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to give it up
I didn't know when to stop myself
Could you help me now?

There was a truth that I never saw
That I never saw, come to light
There was a path that I walked away from
That I walked away from and out of sight

I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to give it up
I didn't know when to stop myself
Could you help me now?

I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to give it up
I didn't know when to stop myself
Could you help me now?

I didn't know when to stop
I didn't know when to give it up
I didn't know when to stop

Only For A Time lyrics - Civil Twilight

Tell me what you were thinking
Tell me what you were saying
Tell me what you were doing wrong
I'll be your witness
I'll be the stone you throw through the window

The shadowy room you lie in
The dirty rings in the basin
The creases under your eyes
Don't let them beat you
Don't even try to understand

It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be

Everyone knows, it comes and goes
Yet everyone tries to hold it down
This precious moment
The blissful cloud we find ourselves in

It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be

It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be

No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry

No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry

No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry

No, I never wanna see you cry

It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be

It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be

This will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be

No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry

No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry

No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry

Love Was All That Mattered lyrics - Civil Twilight

You are a fallen star
Fallen so far away
A cold ice settled over us
Never to melt away

Love was all that mattered to us then
Love was all that mattered to us then

With a bruised heart and bleeding hand
I crawled back home to you
One star above my head
Drawing this man out again

Love was all that mattered to us then
Love was all that mattered to us then

A secret fire was borrowed, never returned
Love was all that mattered 'til it burned

Love was all that mattered to us then
Love was all that mattered to us then

Believe lyrics - Civil Twilight

I'll spend the night in the corner dark
Far away from the fire spark
Far away from where I wish to be
Sliding shoes and the lonely beat

From here it's anybody's guess
She could be the mermaid reeling in my net
And even though I believe it's too late
Someone better shove me or I'm gonna go insane

Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe

When I'm dead and my ashes spread
Spreads them on the ground that separates our fate
The truth is I'm too afraid to move
The truth is way too terrifying

Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe

Every drop of sweat
Every block of ice
Every drink is a sea that separates us
20 hours in front of the screen
Still can't touch anything that I've seen
Still a ghost between two worlds

Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Hey, what are you doing to me?
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe
Give me something I can believe

"Holy Weather" (2012)

River lyrics - Civil Twilight

On the warm banks
Of the river of life
Men and women gather
With all of their rights

You see those statues
They are men of frozen will
And we're not like them, baby
We will never be still

Take a little dive into the river, baby
I don't mind, I don't mind
Just take a little dive into the river, baby
I don't mind if we never get out
Never get out

If heaven seems far away
Just let your spirit sway
Just let your spirit sway
Just let your spirit

Take a little dive into the river, baby
I don't mind, I don't mind
Just take a little dive into the river, baby
I don't mind if we never get out

Into the river
We’ve got all this time.

It flows through walls of stone
It flows in between the bone
It has flowed since the divine exchange
It flows forever unchanged

Take a little dive into the river, baby
I don't mind, I don't mind
Just take a little dive into the river, baby
I don't mind if we never get out
Never get out
I wanna never get out, never get out
Never get out

Holy Weather lyrics - Civil Twilight

This is the final journey
To the edge of ourselves
This is the beginning of the end
Took her hand
And walked her through
Took her hand
And walked her into the blue
Into that blue...

So we walked on water
And crossed the fields
Of burning sand
But the further we went,
The the more we became
What we couldn't understand
I was drifting further away
She was lost like a breeze
In a hurricane
A hurricane...

[Chorus:]
You know I've got you
In my blood-stream
You know that no matter
How loud I scream,
I still hear your voice in my head

You are the fire burning solo
You are the wind
In between the snow
I can't escape you
I can't escape...

Go back, go back
Find yourself a train track
It's not too late to go home
Passion is this weight
On my shoulders
Passion is this weight
On my shoulders
Passion is this weight
On my shoulders
Passion is this weight
On my shoulders

So why did you follow me
Into this den
When all the bluest stars
Paint your name
In a sky of black
You must go back

[Chorus:]
I told you that I've got you
In my blood-stream
I told you that no matter
How loud I scream,
I still hear your voice in my head

You are the fire burning solo
You are the wind
In between the snow
I can't escape you
I can't escape you, oh

(Passion is this weight
On my shoulders)

Fire Escape lyrics - Civil Twilight

We are the desperate ones looking for the mark
We are the lonely ones left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat
We are the tired ones tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we can't repeat
Don't mean to scare you but it's getting too warm
I think I'm gonna move to the door

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape

Oh oh oh oh

Gather around my friends
Let's try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there and the fire within
I know that we're alive, I know that we can dive
Right into the thick of it

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape

I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I can't even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We're on fire don't you feel
We were made to be more than inches away
Everybody out the fire escape

You see, we are burning,
This is real
We are on fire but we can not feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out the fire escape

MoveStay lyrics - Civil Twilight

One by one,
The colors drip from the sun
And there he lies,
Looking through the window above
To get high, to get high

On and on,
The trees grow high,
The years roll by
And he counts everyone
To feel like a part of life,
To feel high

[Chorus:]
Move, move,
Before it's too late
Move, move,
Before they close the gate
Everything's got a reason,
Everyone's got a place
You gotta move
If you want to stay

[Bridge: (5x)]
If only I could work
My way out into light
'Start over new
In a forest of dark night

[Chorus]

You've got to move
If you want to stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Every Walk That I've Ever Taken Has Been In Your Direction lyrics - Civil Twilight

Some nights,
I awake to a room,
Plastic and fake
And the sheets smell of you
Even though,
You were never there
And I was never true

And my mouth fills up
With the words I owe
As if they never found a home

[Chorus:]
One last thing
Before I go
One last thing
You need to know
Every walk I've ever taken
Has been in your direction
(In your direction)

I'm gonna live,
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna know
What it's like to be
On the edge of something

'Cause the robes,
The thrones,
The cornerstones
Will be burned into nothing
And I will know
What it means to roam
I will rise
Like the orange dust of home

[Chorus:]
One last thing
Before I go
One last thing
You need to know
Every walk I've ever taken
Has been in your direction
One last thing
Before I go,
I wanted every part
Of you to know
That one last thing
Before I go,
I loved you more than...
...You will know what I did

[Chorus:]
One last thing
Before I go
One last thing
You need to know
Every walk I've ever taken
Has been in your...
Has been in your direction

Highway Of Fallen Kings lyrics - Civil Twilight

(There is no war,
If you're already dead
There is no truth,
If you just use your head
There is no fair,
If it's all that you lack
If it's all in your back,
If it's all in your back)

I'm riding down
The highway of fallen kings
'Tires hiss
As the engine screams
I'm like a fugitive alien
On the run
But nobody can tell me
What I'm running from
What am I running from?

I am the ghost
That she passes through
She's the choice
I can never chose
When am I going to find my peace?
When am I going to know?
When am I going to know?

[Chorus:]
What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
I'm just a ghost on the highway
What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
I'm just a ghost on the highway
Of fallen kings, kings...

(There is no war,
If you're already dead
There is no truth,
If you just use your head
If you just use your head...)

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
I'm just a ghost on the highway
What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
When am I gonna be free?

It's Over lyrics - Civil Twilight

You and I
Riding down Broadway
Looking for some action
Two scattered souls
In a scattered world
Your hands on the wheel
And your eyes
Searching for cover

But one look from you
And it's over
One look from you
And I'm over

I can't sleep
With this heart's beat
Thumping in my chest
Like an engine
So I gather all my things
In the corner of the room
And I light the match
And watch it burn to my fingers

But one word from you
And it's over
One word from you
And I'm over

People try
To get what they want
People try
To hold it so close
But they won't know
That my heart is driftwood
Floating down your coast

It's been two weeks, now,
Since I walked through
That front door
It's been two weeks
Since I felt your skin
And tonight you wear
The spirit like a cover

And one touch from you
And it's over
One touch from you
And I'm over
Just one touch from you
And it's over
Just one touch from you
And I'm over

Shape Of A Sound lyrics - Civil Twilight

Spirits in the night
Motion in the deep
Waters running high
Calling out to me
Don't know what you want
Don't know what you need
Don't know if it's right,
This beauty in the night

[Chorus:]
Strange as it may seem,
My body leans on only you
Strange as it may seem,
My body leans on only you
Only you...

Two ships in the dawn
Two hands reaching
For the spark
Just to see what I
Will find in the dark

[Chorus]

When I was a boy,
I dreamed a lot
Of wonders I loved
But soon forgot
Now I'm old
And the dreams have changed
The palisade is all rearranged

But if my body's a temple
That's built from the ground
And my soul is created
By the shape of a sound,
Then all that I lost
Will soon be found

[Chorus]

Sweet Resistance lyrics - Civil Twilight

Sweet resistance
Sweet resistance

We can't grow
Without getting old
We can't purchase
Bravery with gold
All of the dreams that we faced
Before the morning glow
Need darkness before they show

Comfort is overrated
Give me something faded
I've spent my life asleep
I want sweet resistance
(That's what I want)
Sweet resistance

I spent the night
Outside your door
In the darkest evening
And in the morning,
You pushed me away
And gave me no reason

But all of the ways that you run,
All of the ways
That you keep it going,
I can't get enough

[Chorus:]
'Cause when all is said and done,
You can lay me down
On a bed of sun
And I will accept my fate
As I pass through that gate
And all of the reasons
That I felt alive in the first place
Will be in the next age
As I turn that page
Into another beautiful stage
Of sweet resistance
Sweet resistance

Comfort is overrated
Give me something faded
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus:]
'Cause when all is said and done,
You can lay me down
On a bed of sun
And I will accept my fate
As I pass through that gate
And all of the reasons
That I felt alive in the first place
I will see your face

Sweet resistance
Sweet resistance
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Please Don't Find Me lyrics - Civil Twilight

I ran my hands through my hair
Looked behind me,
There was no one there
On the road from your house
Steady walk,
I kept praying
But I don't know
What I was saying
I just kept moving
Towards the sunrise

[Chorus:]
As much as I wanna be found
As much as I wanna be found
As much as I wanna be found
Please don't find me

So many things one could say
All the truth you keep away
Just to keep from lying
By yourself at night

Well, I traded all my love for this
I traded all my special gifts
Now I've got nothing left to trade

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been running
For a while
And I'm used to this by now
You wouldn't want to see
A crumbling display
Of a man
With nothing left to say

[Chorus]

Please don't find me
Ooh, ooh

Doorway lyrics - Civil Twilight

Cold lips, cold hands,
Cold feet on the street
There's no shelter from
The heart's beat
Faster and faster,
The winds blow down from the north,
Sweeping these streets
Like ghosts on a march to war
A march to war

Outside, there's a silhouette,
Changing her name,
Changing her face
Every time I look away
We sway in the yellow light
With no more strength to fight

So many dreams that fade away,
So many lives we just can't save
If you wanted this so bad,
Then why do we stand like we do
In the doorway?

Come in, come in,
Come in, come in,
Come in, come in

[Chorus:]
Come in,
I never wanted anything like I want you
Come in,
I never wanted anything like I want you

Like I want you...

So many dreams that fade away,
So many lives we just can't save
If we wanted this so bad,
Then why do we stand like we do
In the doorway

If this is it, then why do I wait?
All tangled up in the strings of fate
If I wanted this so bad,
Then why do I stand like I do?

[Chorus]

Come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in

Wasted lyrics - Civil Twilight

I saw an add on the television
Telling me to stay home
But all the lights on the freeway burning
Tell me just to keep going
So now I glide
Toward the beauty in the fading light

Wasted
I want to get wasted on your love
Wasted
Drink till the morning comes

Remember those rhythms, those places, those songs
That made our souls move
The taste of salt of the earth on our wet skin
We've got nothing to prove
I don't want to fall out
I just want to take you in

Wasted
I want to get wasted on your love
Wasted
Drink till the morning comes

I'm taking it back to the way it was
When we were forming
Searching for the genesis
When love was dawning
[x2]

Dawning, dawning...

Wasted
I want to get wasted on your love
Wasted
I want to get wasted on your love
On your love

Surrender lyrics - Civil Twilight

They lay on the fake grass
Looking up at the fake sky
They held each other's fake hands
And they kissed but their lips were dry
All the passion in the universe
Couldn't keep them together

He was made of earth and fire
She was made of water
Their love will never be free
Not until they surrender

The clouds, the moon
They sighed as they looked down on these figures
Clinging to each other yet so unsatisfied

He was made of earth and fire
She was made of water
Their love will never be free
Not until they surrender

Something's breaking through the atmosphere
How do you explain this fear
That drowns my heart in yours
In you

He was made of earth and fire
She was made of water
Their love will never be free
Not until they surrender
[x2]

Church On Fire lyrics - Civil Twilight

Two by two, they came into that sunlit room
The only church in this town
The only town that I ever knew
I sat in the back row, next to the open door
So I could feel the breeze on my skin
And know that there's something more than just this

I saw her walking down Bellmont Avenue
And from the back window of my father's car
You waved at me and I waved at you
We kissed after years of waiting
Years of holding hands
And I felt something shift inside my soul
That no man could understand

I burn like a church on fire
In the light of the afternoon
I hope you can feel my desire
'Cause these flames rise for you

One by one, I went through all the things I've done
To get to this place I stand
Where I look down and I don't recognize my own hands
I wrote you a letter for every day that I was away
But how many words does one man need to say what he needs to say

I burn like a church on fire
In the light of the afternoon
I hope you can feel my desire
'Cause these flames rise for you

Yeah, that was me
I poured the gasoline
I lit the match for everyone to see
The fireworks in my heart
Yeah, that was me
I burned it to the ground
Yeah, that was me
I burned it all down
I burned this to the ground
Everything that has let us down
Everything that has let us down

One by one, I went through all the things I've done

Night Is Cold lyrics - Civil Twilight

It was a sunny day when they drove away
And my love disappeared into the clouds
Where they made her wait
And they made her burn every picture I ever sent

There’s a thing they want so bad
We call it love
There’s a thing you’ll never have
We call it love
It moves like the ocean
It sways like sea
It’ll never fail to be… love

When the city burned and the capital fell
We were made to walk the road to nowhere
The ones who still feel were made to kneel
As if they could have the one thing they could never hold

There’s a thing they want so bad
We call it love
There’s a thing they’ll never have
We call it love
It moves like the ocean
It sways like sea
It’ll never fail to be
It’ll never fail to be
It’ll never fail

They can have it, but they’ll never hold it
They can steal it, but they’ll never own it
Never own it

"Civil Twilight" (2010)

Anybody Out There lyrics - Civil Twilight

In the cold of the night
The fire burns bright
You long for the unseen

On the edge of the sea
Your thoughts run deep
You long for a place you've never been

Is anybody there?
Is anybody there
You cry to the full moon

As your thoughts run wild
Like the thoughts of a child
You wonder if you'll be there soon

I say, slow me down, slow me down
I want to hear the sound, slow me down

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Oh, is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?

I sing, is anybody out there?
Is anybody, anybody

Here I stand
Letter in my hand
The letter that you sent to me

But as I turn each page
Like the turning of a wave
I feel you turning me

And I sing, slow me down, slow me down
I want to hear the sound, slow

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Oh, is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?

Oh, is anybody out there?
Is anybody, anybody

I don't know anything no more
I don't know anything

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?

Oh, is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody, anybody

I can hear the strings
I can hear the strings
I can hear the strings
I can hear the strings

I can hear the strings
I can hear the strings
I can hear the strings
I can hear the strings

Calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling, calling me

Soldier lyrics - Civil Twilight

I take aim from the kitchen window
I take aim from up and down below
I take aim from the tree in your backyard
I fall asleep, but I'm always on guard

I take those shots, but I have no authority
I take those shots, but I'm not guilty
I'm just a soldier in another war
It doesn't matter who I'm guilty for

I don't stop 'til the end of the show
I don't stop 'til my country says so
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier, fighting for someone else

I got a big ol' family
I got a wife, and she's waiting at home for me
I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door
It doesn't matter who I'm guilty for

I don't stop 'til the mission is done
I don't stop 'til they tell me I've won
I don't know why I waged this war
I'm just a soldier in it for one more

My family, they cover me
My family, they cover me
Everything I see is what I believe
I am not guilty, no, I am not guilty
I am not guilty, I am not, yeah

I don't stop, not even in my dreams
I don't stop seeing things that I've seen
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else, whoa

I'm just a soldier, yeah, I'm just a soldier, soldier, soldier
Don't take it so personally, yeah
I'm just a soldier, I'm just a soldier, soldier, soldier

Next To Me lyrics - Civil Twilight

You are my only escape
You are the reason that I wait
On the corner of this empty street
Oh, I just can't wait to meet

There's so much a man can do
There's so much a man can say
See, I have done so many things wrong
That you should have saw me away

I've got this second chance, I'm gonna take it
I've got this song and dance, I'm gonna take it
I've got all that I need and I can taste it
I've got you next to me, I don't want to waste it

You are my only embrace
You are the light that lights my face
Any fool would do the same
Oh, to follow in your trace

People come and people go
But I know I should have been replaced
I know it

I've got this second chance, I'm going to take it
I've got this song and dance, I'm going to take it
I've got all that I need and I can taste it
I've got you next to me and I don't want to waste it

I'm gonna take it
All that I can get
I'm gonna take it

It's beautiful, the way you move
The way you take me back
Here she comes, around the bend
She's coming to take me back

Oh, I've got this second chance, I'm going to take it
I've got this song and dance, I'm going to take it
I've got all that I need, I can taste it
I've got you next to me and I don't want to waste it

'Cause you are my only escape
You are the reason that I wait

Letters From The Sky lyrics - Civil Twilight

One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains
Are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know

That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way
To let everybody know that you're coming back
You're coming back for me

'Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here, hold me here
Only walls that hold me here

One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won't have to be scared
'Cause we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be, yeah, scared, no

You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back for me

You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me

You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me

You're coming
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me

You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back to me

You're coming back for me
You're coming back

On The Surface lyrics - Civil Twilight

It was cold on the docks that night
As a frozen white light
Shone across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blue

There came a light towards me
On the water that lay before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that had felt so much

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean then I'm only on the surface

This is where they come in
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where I like to stand
And watch the swirling ways of man

To stir humanity divisions of dignity
To see what will conspire
If I throw myself into its fire

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean, then we're only on the surface

I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was light everywhere
If life is an ocean then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface

Trouble lyrics - Civil Twilight

I didn't know what
Everybody was talking about, oh, no
So I went down to the water
Tried to figure it out, oh, no

Everybody was looking down at the empty ground
Except you baby
And you turned to me with a strange look in your eye
And whispered in my ear

You said, "Oh, ooh, everybody's got a trouble"
You said, "Oh, ooh, everybody's got a trouble"
Just like me

There I met a man scorched by the sun
He had a ring above his head
And with eyes of chrome
With a voice of steel, he drew his breath

And he said, "Oh, ooh, everybody's got a trouble"
He said, "Oh, ooh, everybody's got a trouble"
Just like me, just like me

He said I should just go on, oh
Oh, he said I should just go on, ohh

Oh, ooh, everybody's got a trouble
He said, "Oh, ooh, everybody's got a trouble"
It's what he said, everybody's got a trouble
Just like me, just like me
Just like me, ooh, just like me

He said I should just go on
He said I should just go on
He said I should just go on
Oh, he said, he said, he said

Yeah, he said I should just go on
Oh, he said,I should just go on
Oh, and he said, I should just go on, oh

Human lyrics - Civil Twilight

There's one way out and no way in
Back to the beginning
There's one way back to home again
To where I feel forgiven

What is this I feel? Why is it so real?
What am I to say?

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human

I am just an image of
Something so much greater
I am just a picture frame
I am not the painter

Where do I begin? Can I shed this skin?
What is this I feel within?

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human, that make us human
That make us human

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human, that make us human
That make us human, oh, that make us human

Perfect Stranger lyrics - Civil Twilight

Tonight I feel something over me
Something I can't change
Many nights I have spent sailing
With may reasons to be brave
But, Tonight I feel my heart begin to fail me
And my head begin to fall
Like two ships crossing their paths
I see you like a new dawn

My perfect stranger
Don't sail away
It was meant to be
We met this way
We met this way

So many nights I've been in this place
The winds haven't blown in 7 days
I turn to the stars
And the moon at night
But the more I look
The more I lose sight
And heaven knows that heaven shows
Places of its glory
Its moments like these
And treasures we must seize
So we can tell the story of...

My perfect stranger
Don't sail away
Tell me your secrets
And be on your way

Hold me here
Go on and hold me here
Cause

There's no fear [x3]

My perfect stranger
Arms Open wide to me
Tell me your secrets
And tell them as you lay
I sing

Hold me now my perfect stranger [x3]

What You Want lyrics - Civil Twilight

I've got this feeling
Running through my side
I've got this feeling
That you don't like my kind

Slow down, keep it down
I'm trying to make some noise here
And I know you, you've found love
But baby, that's no way to show it

Come in
Take a look inside
'Cause I know
You're gonna like this kind

I said slow down, keep it down
I'm trying to be an original
And I know you, you've found love
But baby, that's no way to show it

This is what you wanted to hear
This is what you wanted to hear
Oh, this is what you wanted to hear

Come in, come in, come in
I've been waiting for you
Just take a look inside
See what I can do

I said you might not think that this is for you
But you're never quite sure 'til you try
And I know you, you've found love
But darlin', I don't care

'Cause this is what you wanted to hear
This is what you wanted to hear
Oh, this is what you wanted to hear

Ooh, this is what you wanted to hear
Ooh, this is what you wanted to hear
Ooh, I said, this is what you wanted
Ooh, this is what you wanted to hear

I said, I'm telling you now, yes
I'm telling you now, oh
I'm telling you now, oh
I'm telling you now, oh

Something She Said lyrics - Civil Twilight

I'm in trouble, there's trouble everywhere I stare
I'm seeing double, I don't know where I left my head
It happened to me on a cool dark night twenty two nights ago
And I'm in trouble 'cause I just don't know how to let go

No, it wasn't in the way she swayed
No, it wasn't how she walked away

Oh, yeah, it was something she said
Oh, yeah, it was something she said

I'd better get back to the place that I used to be
'Cause you're trouble and trouble's got a hold of me
Yeah, I'm in love with you and you know it's true
I think I told a lie before
I'm in trouble and trouble's all over my floor

No, it wasn't in the way she moved
No, it wasn't in the way she grooved

Oh, yeah, it was something she said
Oh, yeah, it was something she said
Something she said, oh, oh

I don't know why I'm here, searching through this cloud
The words are coming in now but I don't hear any sound
I don't know why, no, I don't know why I'm here

Oh, yeah, it was something she said
Oh, yeah, it was something she said
Something she said, something she said, oh
Something she said

Quiet In My Town lyrics - Civil Twilight

Today I heard that someone left this earth
That someone disappeared, left no mark here
Today I heard that someone just got up and left himself
Lying on the ground

Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town

Today two boys disappeared without noise
And I wish that I was them flying somewhere overhead
And tonight in silence, two lovers hate and find
One is bored, one is angry
But neither one of them is right, oh

Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, oh, today is
Today is too quiet in my town, ooh
Oh, somebody say something, ooh

Today I heard the sound of birds
And I wish that I was anywhere but here

Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, oh, today is
Today is too quiet in my town

Today I heard the sound of birds
And I wish that I was anywhere but here

It's too quiet, too quiet
It's too quite, too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet
It's just too quiet

It's too quiet, it's too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet
It's too quiet, it's too quiet

This town, in here, in here, in here
It's too quite in my town, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, I sing it out

Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town
Today is, today
Today is too quiet in my town

Today is, today is
Today is quiet in my town

Run Dry lyrics - Civil Twilight

I got up and dusted off my running shoes
To see how far I could run away
I got up the hill and came back down again
And I blamed it all on you, the foolish things I do

I tried to leave you but I don't know how
I try to give you up a thousand times
I told myself all kinds of foolish lies
But it's your love that won't run dry

I have looked down all those drinking wells
In some of them I accidentally fell
But when I hit the bottom
All I came up with was a dry and empty shell

I tried to leave you but I don't know how
I try to give you up a thousand times, yeah
I told myself all kinds of foolish lies
But it's your love that won't run dry, oh

I gave it in, I gave it all
I just don't know anymore
I can't take this
I just don't know anymore

I tried to leave you but I don't know how
I try to give you up a thousand times
Ooh, I tell myself all kinds of foolish lies
Oh, but it's your love, it's your love, that won't run dry

I tried to leave you but I don't know how, oh
I try to give you up a thousand times
Yes, I told myself all kinds of foolish lies
Oh, but it's your love, it's your love, that won't run dry
Oh, it just won't run, it just won't run, dry, oh, ooh

Save Yourself lyrics - Civil Twilight

Close your eyes and picture this
A world with no view.
I was lost and I was blind
'Till I stepped into that room

Love. It is the way you begin.
It is the song that i sing
When i was free.

Save yourself.
Save yourself.
Save yourself
Cause you can't save me.

Stolen lyrics - Civil Twilight

I met love on the gravel road
While I was walking alone
She was so gentle and sweet
Kissed my hands, kissed my feet

She poured me a glass of deep red wine
To numb my feet and ease my mind
I fell asleep in her arms
When I awoke she was gone

I didn't even notice
That something was wrong
I didn't even notice
That my heart had been stolen

Who is this thief in the night?
Steals my strength, robs my might
She left me, a blind wanderer
With no words to speak or ponder

And I didn't even notice
Anything was wrong
I didn't even notice
That my heart had been stolen

I will search the land and sea
To find this girl who stole from me
And when I do I'll tell her
She can keep that old heart of mine

'Cause I didn't even notice
Anything was wrong
I didn't even notice
That my heart had been stolen

How'm I Supposed To Die lyrics - Civil Twilight

How'm I supposed to die,
When there's only one way to live?
and the treasure in your eyes
you were never meant to give
and you were made to turn your back
what am I to say to that?

Where'm I supposed to lie,
if I can't lie with you?
And the flesh that used to tingle,
has turned a marble blue?
and you tell me that
we can never go back
what am I to say to that?
What am I to say to that?

There's only one thing left to do
there's only one thing left to do
there's only one thing left to do
there's only one thing left to do
there's only one thing left to do
there's only one thing left to do
there's only one thing left to do

How'm I supposed to die,
when there's only one way to live?

How'm I supposed to die,
How'm I supposed to die,
When there's only one way to live,
only one way to live?

Snow lyrics - Civil Twilight

I saw you in the park
Sipping your special lemonade
You looked so calm and collected
But I knew you were afraid.

Afraid of getting your heart broken
afraid of what you might never be
Afraid of what you might get yourself into
Afraid to look to me.

Your friends said you are the shy one
With fire, in your bones
He said your practically fearless
Except for the fear of the unknown

I bet you've you got a thorn in your side
I bet you've got some things you're trying to hide

Welcome to the way it is girl
Welcome to the way it's gonna be
But If you wanna change it for the better
Drop your things and come with me

Turn the corner here we go
Round the corner here we go
You're coming with me
You're coming with me

I can take you through the storm
I can take you anywhere
You're coming with me
You're coming with me

Welcome to the way it is girl
Welcome to the way it's gonna be
If you wanna change it for the better
Drop your things and come with me

Teardrop

(originally by Massive Attack)

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
I feel like the sun might give way
Gentle implosions
Wakes and makes me tired
Fearless on my breath

Teardrops on your fire
Burning in my heart, today
Teardrops on your fire
Burning away

Teardrops on your fire
Black flowers blossom
I feel like the sun might give way
Oceans in my head
Crash against my lonely bed
I feel like the sun might give way

Teardrops on your fire
Burning in my heart, today
Teardrops on your fire
Burning away

Teardrops on your fire [4x]

I feel them burning [3x]

Burning [2x]

Teardrops on your fire
Burning on your fire
Oh, teardrops on your fire
Burning on your fire

I feel them burning
