Through Sunrise

The cracks that show on these hospital walls,
Are just like the ones on your skin,
But please don’t try to fill them,
Don’t be ashamed of your age,
Creases crept around your crystal eyes,
As time blew past their sight,
They’ve seen too many things,
They’ve cried too many nights,
And when all is said,
And while your candle’s burning through,
We’ll still be here, we’ll still watch over you,
You need to get through sunrise,
Just gotta stay til dawn,
Stay awake until the moonlight,
Stops shining in your eyes,
And when the morning comes,
You better not be gone,
Don’t leave me now,
To greet the day on my own,
I’m not old enough,
To understand,
Your withered hands are weak,
I took that wave you gave as I left,
As a sign of years to come,
I’d have never known it was just for show,
To keep the ten year old calm,
And even though I was never told,
I still wish I’d cried a little,

Raised

Come wander down the streets I used to know
The cherry blossom’s out across the road
Come tell where you think of when I say “home”
As the sun began to sink beneath my world
I’d gather all the acorns off the ground
It felt to me like a pocket full of pearls
Can you see the distant mountain tops?
I’ve never learned their names
Look back along the road we’ve travelled down
The place was raised…
You see the faded purple paint on the wall
Lucy and I made our mark on the world
They were mad and they wanted us to wash it away
I remember I was four years old
So naïve, ready to run away, get away
Packed the only bag smaller than me
I remember running down the street
Tears streaming down my face
And when I reached the corner,
Well I just couldn’t leave
The place I was raised
Come wander down the streets I’ll always know
The many roads where life will ever flow
This is where my heart takes me when I want to go home
I’ll remember running down the street
Through countless springs and summers
No matter where I end up in this world
Know I could never leave
The place where I was raised
No, eh, the place where I was raised
I was raised
I was raised
The place where I was raised,
I was raised,
I was raised,
Raised,
Raised,
Raised

Shame

It’s been four months exactly now,
We’re all moving forward on new ground,
We’re all living separate lives,
Mine will never be a paradise,
As long as you keep reminding me,
Where were you when all our hearts were torn?
Where were you when a new hatred was born?
I couldn’t see your face through the cold of his embrace
As far as you’re concerned, you’re not
What gives you the right to tell me I was wrong?
Who gave you the sense that you know who I am?
What the hell makes you think you’re any better than me?
You’re any better than me
Shame on me, shame on him, shame on everybody who was there that day
To see her crumble, to see her fall at the fault of my own
Shame on my life, shame on the things I do
And what I’ve done to her
On my past, my present and my destiny
Shame on me
It’s not a sin to love someone
It’s not like this had just begun
I hope someday you’ll feel like me
Else you’ll never, ever see
That I am not a fool without a heart
When do you think you’ll make your mistake? (When do you think you’ll make your mistake?)
When will this great tragedy fall upon your shoulders?
It’s not a perfect world; you’re not a perfect boy
As far you’re concerned you’re not
BRIDGE
CHORUS
Your hate, your rage at someone you don’t know
On your ignorance of how we’ve sank so low (sank so low)
Are the tables gonna turn,
On all you thought you learnt?
We’re taught to love our enemies
But the thought of loving you is killing me

Drive Me Home
03:57

When I was born, you cried just like I did,
You held me in your arms for the first time,
I’m sorry to say, that charm doesn’t capture everyone
Because they’ll never love me, like you do
As the years flew by, I crawled, I talked, I walked with you
You’ve taught me well, but never how to look after myself
It seems after all this time I still have a lot to learn
Before you go, will you show me?
When you’re gone, gone, (When you’re gone, gone, gone…)
Who’s gonna drive me home?
When you’ve moved on, (When you’ve moved on, on…)
Who’s gonna wash my clothes?
When you leave me here all on my own, (on my own)
When you’re gone, gone, who’s gonna love me? (Oh)
You were never patient,
You stuck with your answers
Even after we would prove that they were wrong,
You nagged, you yelled,
But you cared for the both of us
Without you, what if no one cares at all?
As the years go on, I promise to learn,
To cook and clean along with you,
The things I’ll learn from you, they’re the most important of all,
Because then I might be able to carry on
CHORUS
I know you were just afraid of losing your baby,
Stop your worrying and then you’ll see just how happy I am,
You’ll never lose me,
Can a guy work a vacuum?
I need you, I need you, I need you; I’ll never not
I love you, I love you, I love you; I always will
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you…
CHORUS x2

2000 & When?
04:17
|

|
2008, a year like those to come
2008, I’ll miss it now it’s gone
Another year, another time I might forget
Another year, another chance to start again
2008, like lighting in the sky
2008, gone in the blink of an eye
Another year, another step towards the door
Another year, another chance to find something more
I don’t wanna keep crying,
I don’t wanna sit here no more,
I don’t wanna say “Oh no, this ain’t the time for me,”
This time I’m gonna start trying,
This time I’m gonna do all I can,
This time I’m gonna stand so tall and let me live for me
Let me live for me
2009, you start and end in champagne,
2009, whatever you may throw my way,
Another year and we’re all turning sixteen,
Another year and I’ll try not to drink in between,
CHORUS
2000 and when, will I be there to see you?
Tomorrow’s a trend,
Everlasting so we think
Another day, another time I might forget
Another day, another chance to start…
CHORUS x2
2008, 2009, 2010
2008, 2009, 2000 and when?
