Don't Burn Your Heart Out Love

Long Hallway With A Broken Light

White lines that never fade
Burn deep with everyday
And I need to know
You live here in a photograph
No sound and no regrets
And I need to know
Heart-stained but never weak
You lay down alone but you don't mind
Questions that never breathe
Your face on a wall that I can't shake
I'm walking on air, close to you
Through a long hallway with a broken light
And I, I need to know
If you're still alive
You hold me like a bag of bones
Wrapped up and underground
Pull me out so I can feel
Make me believe, that one more night's
Not a minute too long when a moment's all I need
I'm walking on air, close to you
Through a long hallway with a broken light
And I, I need to know
If you're still alive
You'll marry the night
Dance with the pain but you don't mind
See the city burn tonight, hearts up in flames
Would you carry me away?
I'm walking on air, close to you
Through a long hallway with a broken light
And I, I need to know
If you're still alive







Runaway


I am more than you know, street lights and open roads
I am more than a face, stuck living in one place
So call me California
Call me what you will
Cause I am bigger than this place
And so far from alone
I don't believe in your hate, cause these scars are gonna fade
So pour me out like water, and soak me up like rain
Like a runaway
Spend these nights counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call this home tonight
Like a runaway
I whisper all these secrets, to a blank page on a line
Said we don't speak like lovers, and my words are dripping with wine
So call me California
Call me what you will
Cause I am bigger than this place
And so far from alone
Like a runaway
Spend these nights counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call this home tonight
Like a runaway
When burning bridges won't come down
Like symphonies without a sound
I spend these nights counting stars
And wonder if there's hope for me out there
Like a runaway
Spend these nights counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call this home tonight









Unhappy

She takes her clothes off and she says
Is it alright if I stay the night?
I don't remember what I said, is it alright?
Well she's gone when I awake
Left a letter, saying everything was a mistake
And I'm alone, but it's alright
'Cause I understand, I could tell everything's not fine
It's never alright to push away, I'm not as blind as you may think
And I'm tired of all that is
And I know that this time it's not all in my head
You look a little unhappy, 'bout the way the world is turning
Is there anything I could do to take your mind off
Your troubled hearted kind? And she said maybe, just maybe
You won't end up like him
It's just another day it's cold
And I'm losin' myself inside
The colors on the wall, are all fading
And all that's left is a hope for another day
That's not cold again, and it's a shame
You look a little unhappy, ‘bout the way the world is turning
Is there anything I could do to take your mind off
Your troubled hearted kind? And she said maybe, just maybe
You won't end up like him
Must have been around midnight, There's a ghost at the door
She said please go slowly, cause we've all been here before
She takes her clothes off and she says
Is it alright if I stay the night?
I don't remember what I said, is it alright?
And I know that this time it's not all in my head
You look a little unhappy, ‘bout the way the world is turning
Is there anything I could do to take your mind off
Your troubled hearted kind? And she said maybe, just maybe
You won't end up like him






Secret Life

Hangs up her coat like always
Wouldn't have it any other way
The TV glows in her apartment
Much better than most company
Is something on your mind?
Hands are cold as ice
You dance like a queen
In spite of all the things you never wanted
When you're left out in the cold
You dance like a queen
Your silhouette is still my reflection
You speak to me in riddles, you speak to me in riddles
Puts on her face like breathing
Another day in black and red
Coat is old, car seat’s freezing
And a radio that just won't play
You dance like a queen
In spite of all the things you never wanted
When you're left out in the cold
You dance like a queen
Your silhouette is still my reflection
You speak to me in riddles, you speak to me in riddles
Is something on your mind?
Hands are cold as ice she says
Tell me about your secret life
And all the things you've seen
Tell me what you think of me
You dance like a queen
In spite of all the things you never wanted
When you're left out in the cold
You dance like a queen
Your silhouette is still my reflection
You speak to me in riddles, you speak to me in riddles







Twilight

I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
But I still talk about you though and wonder
How it is your life will unfold
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Show me what it looks like
I recall drivin' home, this ain't gonna hit me till God knows when
You know I feel it in my bones and I wear it on my skin
But there is no use in right or wrong
When a heart must go where it belongs
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line,
Singin’ I could be yours if you would be mine
C’mon grow old with me and surely you will see
I remember thinking, boy you must be dreaming
So hold on, hold on, before it's all gone
And I do remember thinking
That your world will go on spinning
Without me now, so c'mon, c'mon please
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line,
Singin’ I could be yours if you would be mine
C’mon grow old with me and surely you will see
I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do







Flowers For A Ghost

You disappear with all your good intentions
And all I am is all I could not mention
Like who will bring me flowers when it's over
And who will give me comfort when it's cold
She took a plane to somewhere out in space
To start a life and maybe change the world
See I never meant for you to have to crawl
No I never meant to let you go at all
Don't ever say goodbye
See my head aches from all this thinkin'
Feels like a ship God, God knows I'm sinkin'
Wonder what you do and where it is you stay
These questions like a whirlwind, they carry me away
Who will bring me flowers when it's over
And who will give me comfort when it’s cold
Who will I belong to when the day just won't give in
And who will tell me how it ends and how it all begins
Don't ever say goodbye
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human







Hey Lady

She checks her pulse, gotta know if her heart's still beating
And the hospital's, not far if anything should happen here
She's bored in a week, big dreams but nothing material
And I refuse to believe that love is for the weak
I'm not vulnerable
Hey lady, don't give up on me
Don't burn your heart out love
Till we're ash over seas
Hey lady, said I don't wanna fight
Like pretty girls need cowboys
I need you here tonight
She screams for more
More than just some blue eyed metaphor
And the trouble is, the trouble is, she's always searching
The hour's late, don't wanna hear that it's all gonna end soon
No I'm not crazy I'm in control, and all of my friends still know
Hey lady, don't give up on me
Don't burn your heart out love
Till we're ash over seas
Hey lady, said I don't wanna fight
Like pretty girls need cowboys
I need you here tonight
I'm on one knee, lover please
How can I put it more simply?
And I wait, for your invitation
And I'm so so so, so over waiting
I'm on one knee, lover please
How can I put it more simply?
Hey lady, don't give up on me
Don't burn your heart out love
Till we're ash over seas
Hey lady, said I don't wanna fight
Like pretty girls need cowboys
I need you here tonight
