in somebody else's sky, but why
why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?
i'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
i wish i was as fortunate as fortunate as me
i wish i was the pedal brake that you depended upon
i wish i was the verb to trust that never let you down
i wish i was a radio song the one that you turned up
we were but stones, your light made us stars
how's our father supposed to be told?
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
cuz to the universe, i don't mean a thing
and there is just one word i still believe
and it's love...
how good is he?
how warm is his heart
i did...oh, what i had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
now the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
as the curtain comes down
i feel that this is just
goodbye for now
my lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
been a month since i've heard myself talk
all the advantage this life's got on me
picture a cup in the middle of the sea
and i fight back in my mind
never lets me be right
i got memories i got shit
so much it don't show
oh i walked the line when you held me in that night
i walked the line when you held my hand that night
an empty shells seem so easy to crack
got all these questions don't know who i could even ask
so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
and i stare you back
oh blue eyes, i've seen it
if just once i could feel love
oh stare back at me, yeah..
but i walked the line when you held me in that night
oh i walked the line when you held my hand that night
oh i walked the line when you held me close that night
i paid the price never held you in real life
my lips are shakin'
...You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, or you can come to terms and realize you´re the only one who can´t forgive yourself... Oh, it makes much more sense to live in the present tense...
...me I figure as each breath goes by, I only own my mind... I know I was born and I know that I´ll die, the in between is mine, I am mine...
...some words once spoken, can´t be taken back...
...tha what you fear the most could meet you halfway...
...once upon a time I cpuld control myself...
...Oh, dear Dad, can you see us now? I am myself like you somehow... I´ll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me... I´ll open up, release me!...
...lay your arms and surrender to me... there ain´t no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so...
...I can´t buy what I want because is free...
...I´m open...come in...

Hold on to the thread,
the currents will shift-
Glide me towards you
Know somethings left,
And we're all allowed,
To dream of the next,
...time we touch.
You don't have to stray,
tho oceans away,
Waves roll in my thougts.
Hold tight the ring,
The sea will rise,
Please stand by the shore,
...I will be there once more.
...won't someone save...
...the world?
*shivers*
And they've been closed to hide the flames, remains
She knows their future's burning
But she can smile just the same, same
And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Standing like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey
And though he's too big of a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Drifting away
yes. this is definately one of them.
oh dear dad, can you see, me now? I am myself, like you somehow. I'll wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me. I'll open up...release me...
and my bitter hands, cradle broken glass, of what was everything?
I got scatches, all over my arms. one for each pain, since I fell apart...
how good is he? how warm is his heart?
I know, life could be different, if I held on....I know I could be something, if I held on...
death ain't the same without you dear...
she lived like a murder...but she died. just like suicide...
"if you love someone, set them free. if someone loves you, don't fuck up."
Champagne, breakfast for everyone....
Most chilling line/s ever:
"Waves goodbye... to himself...
I'll see you on the other siiiiiiiiide!!!!
Another man........ moved by sleight of hand...... "
"Guess I'll lie alone just like before".
"Fills his night... with the thought... of a girl" (especially now, I had one of those lastnight)
"And wherever you've gone,
And wherever we might go...
It don't seem fair, today just disappeared".
"Black lining on the run in a race that can't be won" (describes my life like NO other can)
"Fuck it, we've disappeared..."
"I don't wanna take what you can't give"
"Your disciples are riddled with metaphors... well hung!" (I cannot force myself to believe that Eddie didn't write that line, let alone the song)
WE'RE FAITHFUL!!! WE ALL BELIEVE, WE ALL BELIEVE IT!!!!
"Please stand by the shore"
And finally...
"Fills it up, with the love, of a girl".
"I got scratches all over my arms.. one for each day since I fell apart.. I did what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you."
what does this line really mean?
ok not really, it's just stuck in my head right now.
it's hard when your stuck up on a shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
in somebody else's sky but why why why can't it be, why can't it be mine
it don't seem fair... today just disappeared
we were but stones, your light made us stars
with heavy breath, awakened regets
back pages and days that could have been spent, together...
but we were miles apart
every inch between us becomes light years now
no time to be void or save up on life
you've got to spent it all...
I did what I had to do. If there was a reason it was you.
Oh dear dad can you see me now
I am myself
like you somehow
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
as the curtins come down
I feel that this is just g'bye for now
Sheets of empty canvas
untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
"It doesn't matter where you're at, it matters who you're there with."
Fuck yeah!! I love that line!
and i love the lyrics to i'm open. i know them by heart.
a man lies in his his bed in a room with no door. he waits hoping for a presense, something, anything to enter. after spending half his life searching he still felt as blank as the cieling at which he stared. he is alive but feels absolutely nothing. so is he? when he was 6 he believed the moon over head followed him. by 9, he had deviefered the illusion. trading magic for fact. no trade backs. so this is what its like to be an adult. if he only knew now what he knew then. i'm open. i'm open. call me. call me. call me. lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no cover, he decides to dream. dream up a new self, for himself.
i love it. i forced myself to learn the lyrics cos i loved em so much.
yep.
dig it out
standing in a hole alone."
ahhhhhhh........ these words definately have more meaning now..
Albert Einstein
Oh, he deals them off, off the top, ties them off
fills it up with his past, gets carried away
oh, half his life, a hand-me-down, wasted away
oh, he fills it up with the love of a girl
Oh, he left it alone, drilled the pain with money to buy
How he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
Oh, he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
fills his mind with the thought of a girl
How he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
I'M OPEN
A man lies in his bed in a room with no door. He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter. After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared. He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing. So is he? When he was six he believed that the moon over head followed him. By nine he had deciphered the allusion, trading magic for fact, no trade backs.
So this is what it's like to be an adult. If he only knew now what he knew then.
Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets with no covers he decides to dream. Dream up a new self. For himself.
Both just great pieces
there's no time to cry
soon i will be leavin'
look me in the eye
no matter what's in front of me
it's your face that i'll see
i'm still alive!!!
there really are too many to mention!
how quick the sun can drop away....
if a man cannot control his life,,,will he be driven to control his death?
one day she stiffened ,took the other side...
he who forgets will be destined to remember...
dont mean to push,,,but im being shoved........
once upon a time i could control myself.
once upon a time i could love myself.'
once upon a time i could love you...
i will wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me. ill open up release meeeee
try to forget this try to erase this ...from the blackboard..........
youre still alive she said, oh do i deserve to be ? is that the question and if so if so who answers? who answers?
i wont be taken,,,,yet ill go....
omg i could go on and on and on..................
it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)
... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....
all the love gone bad, turned my world to black
tattooed all i see, all that i am, all i'll ever be...
i know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star
in somebody else's sky, but why
why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?
hold my hand, lie beside me i just need to say
i could not take a-just one day
i know when i would not ever touch you...hold you...feel you...in my arms...
never again...
oh, if i knew where it was i would take you there but there's much more than this
she holds the hand that holds her down
she will...rise above...
escape is never, the safest path
i gathered speed from you fuckin with me...
once and for all, i'm far away
hard to believe, finally the shades are raised...
i am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
i am lost, i'm no guide, but i'm by your side
i am right by your side...
i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
i will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
can't escape from the common rule
if you hate something, don't you do it too
the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
nothingman...
don't mean to push, but i'm being shoved!
ohh, i'm just like you, think we've had enough
i can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
i don't want to take what you can give...
i would rather starve than eat your bread...
an empty shells seem so easy to crack
got all these questions don't know who i could even ask
so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
and i stare you back
oh blue eyes, i've seen it
if just once i could feel love
oh stare back at me, yeah..
i sometimes realize i could only be as good as you'll let me
are you woman enough to be my man?
up here so high the sky i scrape
had my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse
of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly...
wish i was the pedal brake that you depended upon
i wish i was the verb to trust that never let you down
yeah she's her own disease, crying to her doll
but only love...can break her fall
we were but stones, your light made us stars
no time to be void or save up on life
you got to spend it all..
i'm there, let yourself fall, i'm right below you now
love is a tower, of strength to me
i am the shoreline, but you're the sea
the man they call my enemy, i've seen his eyes
he looks just like me, a mirror
and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
can't wait for election day
witness the occupation
corporations rule the day
well you know the pendulum throws
farther out to the one side, swinging
has to sweep back the other way
it's not the same without you up here
can't find my wheels
your absence is what breeds this fear
warm breath and all it steals
i got scratches, all over my arms
one for each day, since i fell apart
Wow...that's a ton of amazing lyrics.
"Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone
"I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV
