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
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
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]
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
The Courage Or The Fall lyrics - Civil Twilight
Man wasn't made to live alone
That's why I have my enemies
Whenever I close my eyes
They're all I can see
Every man needs his saviour
Every saviour needs his task
But which one am I, the man or the one behind the mask?
What comes first, the courage or the fall?
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Is that a saviour outside my window?
Or is that a reflection of me?
That's why I have my enemies
Whenever I close my eyes
They're all I can see
Every man needs his saviour
Every saviour needs his task
But which one am I, the man or the one behind the mask?
What comes first, the courage or the fall?
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Is that a saviour outside my window?
Or is that a reflection of me?
