Cling And Clatter lyrics - Lifehouse
Too many voices it won't take long
Which one's right and which one's wrong
And yours is most likely to be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues
At the top of my lungs
'Til I find you 'til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would
And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
If I could touch
The sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how
To make these intentions
Come around
And I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word that
You're not saying
Speaking without a sound
And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
Trapped inside
Of these four walls
Walking brainless Muppet dolls
Mushroom face
Beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
All this cling and clatter
Unknown lyrics - Lifehouse
This doubt is screaming in my face
In this familiar place
Sheltered and concealed
And if this night won't let me rest
Don't let me second-guess
What I know to be real
Put away all I know for tonight
And maybe I just might
Learn to let it go
Take my security from me
And maybe finally
I won't have to know everything
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown, the "don't know"
That keeps me hangin' on and on and on to you
I got nothing left to defend
Oh, I cannot pretend
That everything makes sense
But does it really matter now
If I do not know how
To figure this thing out?
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown, the "don't know"
That keeps me hangin' on and on and on to you
I'm against myself again
Tryna fit these pieces in
Walking on a cloud of dust to
Get to you
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown, the "don't know"
That keeps me hangin' on
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown, the "don't know"
That keeps me hanging on and on and on to you
Fool lyrics - Blyss
Seems my own arrogance has knocked me off my feet again,
When you know I'm crawling to you as fast as I can
First teach me to walk and then I'll learn to dance for you,
Like an honest clumsy clown, tripping along the way
'Cause I am reaching for you but my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you, if I could go a little faster
And I am crying to you but I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you and trying not to fall asleep now
'Cause I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
Come stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I'll be a fool for you
What are you thinking as you look down on me?
Are you frustrated with my inconsistency?
Or intrigued that I can find the will to get back on board
Maybe all of this is simply amusing
'Cause I am reaching for you but my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you, if I could go a little faster
And I am crying to you but I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you and trying not to fall asleep now
And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
Come stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool
And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
Come stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I'll be a fool for you
And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear
Come stumbling closer to you
And I'm tumbling over my pride
I'll be a fool for you
Crown Of Scars lyrics - Blyss
Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
'Cause you've already won
Forget the pain and leave tears behind you
Bury underneath your feet the remains
Of what's been left behind
'Cause you have got a long, long way to run
But now you dance the rest of the way
And you don't look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
Now you fly away
And you don't look down now
And you laugh 'til you can't laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Will you fall against the wall that you have built
With your own hands?
When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied
Your legs together with
When you walk upon thin ice you know you should
Not be walking
Why do you wonder why that you fell through?
Now you fly away
And you don't look down now
And you laugh 'til you can't laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
And now you laugh
And your tears
Smile down at your fears
From where you are
From way up here
You know nothing's ever looked so good
Nothing ever looked so good
But now you dance the rest of the way
You don't look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
Now you fly away
And you don't look down now
And you laugh 'til you can't laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Now you fly away
And you don't look down now
And you laugh 'til you can't laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Mudpie lyrics - Blyss
Nothing but a mud pie
Wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
Nothing but a castle built on top of a swamp of quicksand
And inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows
Lies a rusty pot of fool's gold that you got with your life
You thought you'd take a bad bet on loyalty
You thought you'd tell yourself to act like royalty
Until the day you became his prey
As you tripped over your red carpet
You wash your hair in melaleuca oil
Then you wrap your head up with tin foil and
Prance around in your bathrobe
Pretending you're a king
But you're spinning hard
Sinking faster now
Well you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's
Not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Follow the sun
Nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall that's 23-years old
Nothing but a "For sale" sign on a house that's already sold
Trying to chew through that chocolate-covered barbed wire
'Cause they're among the beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side
But you're spinning hard
Sinking faster now
Well you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's
Not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Follow the sun
Follow the sun
Follow the sun
Clever lives end up rusty and forgotten
Brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's
What I thought was so deep ended up so hollow
And what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow
Yeah you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's
Not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Yeah you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's
Not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Trying lyrics - Lifehouse
Could you let down your hair
Be transparent for awhile, just a little while
To see if you're human after all?
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like
We've got it all figured out
Well, let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do
Just trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way the best I know how
Well, I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art form someday
If I quote all the lines off the top of my head
Would you believe
That I fully understand all these things I've read
I'm just trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way the best that I know how
Well, I haven't got it all figured out quite yet but
Even if it takes my whole life to get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you, and
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Storm lyrics - Lifehouse
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you, everything would be alright
If I'd see you, this darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten-feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you, everything would be alright
If I'd see you, this darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
Everything's alright
Yeah, everything's alright
Breathing lyrics - Lifehouse
I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's all right, all right with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to
Sit outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be
I am looking past the shadows
In my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God, which one is you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel alive
And break these calluses off of me
One more time
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's all right, all right with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I wanna be, yeah
I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me, waiting
For the scraps to fall
Off of your table to the ground
La da da la da da da da da
'Cause I just wanna be here now
'Cause I am hanging on every word you're sayin'
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be, yeah
'Cause I am hanging on every word you're sayin'
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be
Where I wanna be
Somewhere In Between lyrics - Lifehouse
I can't be losing sleep over this, no, I can't
And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours, I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
This is over my head but underneath my feet
'Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this
'Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
'Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
What is real and just a dream...
Fairy Tales And Castles lyrics - Blyss
He says he looks in the mirror
And he can't tell anymore
Who he really is and who they believe him to be
And he says he walks a thin line
Between what is and what could be
And he's getting closer
To something he can't understand
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
Now it's a long way down
Cause on and on and on he goes
Dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
And on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
He says his head is filled with
Cartoons and fairy tales
And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
With smiles on their faces
He's built a pretty cage
His show's on a beautiful stage
With candy coated prison bars
And chains that look like jewelry
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
Now it's a long way down
Cause on and on and on he goes
Dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
And on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
Cause he lives inside
Of fairy tales and castles now
And there's room inside
For false expectations and illusions
There's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
Now it's a long way down
It's a long way down
On and on and on he goes
Dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
Hey on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made twigs
And castles made of sand
Cause on and on and on he goes
Dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
And on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
Cause on and on and on he goes
Dancing on the grave
(on and on and on he goes) of what he thought was still alive
And on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
Whats Wrong With That lyrics - Lifehouse
How did I end up here closer to nowhere
In the middle of nothing
And I'm one step back from where I was
Spinning in circles gets old after a while
And you say if I fall
I will fall straight into your arms
And should I trip over my feet
And if I start to slip
I will slip right onto my knees
Into the center of your hands
'Cause maybe someday I could learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
'Cause maybe someday I could learn to let go
I lose control but that's okay with me
I lose control but tell me what is wrong with that
Why do I have to know everything
And why does everything always have to make sense?
Why do I always have to have you figured out?
'Cause I just want to take your hand
And you say if I fall
I will fall straight into your arms
And I trip over my feet
And if I start to slip
I will slip right onto my knees
Into the center of your hands
'Cause maybe someday I could learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
'Cause maybe someday I could learn to let go
I lose control but that's okay with me
I lose control but tell me what is wrong with that
Revolution Cry lyrics - Blyss
When passion takes on a purpose
And searching ones embrace the light
When skeptics find themselves down on their knees
You'll know it's here
When you hear a sound as loud as thunder
And you hear a cry that shakes the ground beneath you
When you hear a shout that shatters the darkness
You'll know it's here
When the lost find a name we're believing in
And the fallen get back onto their feet
And the broken start to dream again
And the sound of hope fills these streets
You'll know it's here
Revolution, can you feel it?
Revolution cry
Revolution, can you hear it?
Revolution cry
And I believe it, and I believe it
How long do we have to wait?
And how long will we stay silent?
When will this weeping generation dance again?
Oh God, when will the truth be restored?
When the lost find a name we're believing in
And the fallen get back onto their feet
And the broken start to dream again
And the sound of hope fills these streets
You'll know it's here
Revolution, can you feel it?
Revolution cry
Revolution, can you hear it?
Revolution cry
Revolution, can you feel it?
Revolution cry
And I believe it, and I believe it, and I believe it
You'll know it's here
Can you feel it?
Revolution, can you feel it?
Revolution cry
Revolution, can you hear it?
Revolution cry
And I believe it
Better Part Of Me lyrics - Lifehouse
On my way to a place I know
At the end of the day
I can make my way out of here
And the lines blur in my eyes
It reminds me of where I used to go on my own
And the sun never looked so good from here
It's almost as if yesterday could disappear
I'm standing on the edge of what could be
Looking for the better part of me
Stand on your own
Turn and face your fears
It's the only way to know
What you've been living
For all these years
And the sun never looked so good from here
It's almost as if yesterday could disappear
I'm standing on the edge of what could be
Looking for the better part of me
So tell me where to go
To find a better way
Out of this lonely place
I'm on the edge of what could be
Looking for the better part of me
Is there a life that death could bring?
Is this the better part of me?
Butterfly lyrics - Lifehouse
She watches a darkness creeping up about half past eight
She sits by the weeping willow says that she can relate
She dreams of someday getting out of this place
She says she's never felt at home even in her own face
I know it won't be long
'Til you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak and you're hanging on
Go and give it another try
She dreams of puppies and those wings that look like parachutes
She dreams of waterfalls that sweep your feet from under you
She finds her comfort inside bedtime stories and fairy tales
Anything with a happy ending she says it can never fail
I know it won't be long
'Til you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak but you're hanging on
'Cause you're dreaming of an open sky
She don't wanna talk about it 'cause that's all that she's done
She don't wanna think about it she's not the only one
She doesn't wanna be what she doesn't have to be
Doesn't have to be
She wants to be the girl who's swept off her feet in the end
She wants to live a life that's real and not just for pretend
She dreams of laughter echoing and says it's her favorite sound
She dreams of plastic parents that will never let her down
And I know it won't be long
'Til you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak and you're hanging on
'Cause you're dreaming of an open sky
Go and give it another try
And I know it won't be long
'Til you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak but you're hanging on
'Cause you're dreaming of an open sky
Eighties lyrics - Lifehouse
When you find your castle on the hill
With the bars on the windows
Will you burn the bridge behind you?
Will you ever come out and see the sun again?
Or will you hide?
And now how long has it been since you've seen the light?
Make your way up the stairs to the top of your tower
Stone-cold floors, hardwood doors
Lead you to your room of plastic flowers
They still look the same, drenched in water
It comforts you to think that they're alive
It could have been easier than this
If you threw it all away, what would you miss?
Could have been to much of a chance to take
The silence in your head would have to break
Your grip is slipping faster
Looks like you'll have to face yourself after all
Stand out the shadows of your cage
Strangled truth, stolen youth
Is written on every line of every page
It's your story
Do you want it back?
You have to decide if it is worth it
Swim across a swamp to the other side
Run until you're out of breath
And when you look back there'll be nothing left
But a memory fading quickly
It could have been easier than this
If you threw it all away, what would you miss?
Could have been to much of a chance to take
The silence in your head would have to break
Your grip is slipping faster
Looks like you'll have to face yourself after all
It could have been easier than this
If you threw it all away, what would you miss?
Could have been to much of a chance to take
The silence in your head would have to break
Your grip is slipping faster
Looks like you'll have to face yourself after all
Good Enough lyrics - Lifehouse
(from "The Wild" soundtrack)
It seems the more we talk, the less I have to say
Let's put our differences aside, wanted to make you proud
But I just got in your way, I found a place that I can hide
Now everything is changing, but I still feel the same
We're running out of time
What do I have to do?
To try and make you see, that this is who I am, and it's all that I can be
I try to find myself, looking inside your eyes, you're all that I wanted to be
There must be something else, behind all the lies, that you wanted me to believe
Now everyone is saying, that I should find a way, to leave it all behind
What do I have to do?
To try and make you see, that this is who I am, and it's all that I can be
What do I have to do?
(I try to find myself looking inside your eyes)
To try and make you see
(You're all that I wanted to be)
Trying to be like you
Isn't good enough for me, and I won't let you go, and I won't let you down
And I won't give you up, don't you give up on me now, what do I have to do?
To try and make you see, that this is who I am, and
It's all that I can be
What do I have to do?
(I try to find myself looking inside your eyes)
To try and make you see (You're all that I wanted to be)
Trying to be like you, isn't good enough for me
Whoa -oh -oh
What do I have to do
Whoa -oh -oh
Try and make you see?
Midnight In Philadelphia lyrics - Lifehouse
I know what it's like to hide
Sit in your room and break down there and cry
And all I could say was your name
I've had my share of pain
But I know it's made me who I am today
So I look back with no regrets
I look back with no regrets
I know that you are watching me somewhere over the moon
Shouting down that you love me wondering why I can't hear you
If only for a moment, if only in my mind
I could go back to the beginning
In the place where I felt like a child
I can tell you mean well by your eyes
But a father's intentions can be turned to lies
But nobody's perfect I guess
People can let you down
I followed the leader that fell to the ground
But you never left me alone
You never left me alone
I know that you are watching me somewhere over the moon
Shouting down that you love me wondering why I can't hear you
If only for a moment, if only in my mind
I could go back to the beginning
In the place where I felt like a child
I know that you are watching me somewhere over the moon
Shouting down that you love me wondering why I can't hear you
If only for a moment, if only in my mind
I could go back to the beginning
In the place I felt like a child
Ordinary Pain lyrics - Lifehouse
I know that there are days
When your life feels like your grave
You stand in the choice you've made
We gotta end this wait
We know a way to live
So stop, stand still for a minute if you will
Got a pocket full of sunshine
A handful of time
We don't have to talk about the ones that we can't live without
'Cause everybody needs somebody
It's just an ordinary pain
We only come to be
In all the places where you've been
We stare you in the face
As someone to erase
What already has been done
So stop, stand still for a minute if you will
Got a pocket full of sunshine
A handful of time
We don't have to talk about the ones that we can't live without
'Cause everybody needs somebody
It's just an ordinary pain
Just an ordinary pain, just an ordinary pain
So stop, stand still for a minute if you will
Got a pocket full of sunshine
A handful of time
We don't have to talk about the ones that we can't live without
'Cause everybody needs somebody
It's just an ordinary pain
Everybody needs somebody
It's just an ordinary pain
Everybody needs somebody
It's just an ordinary pain
Paper Cuts lyrics - Jason Wade
I woke up today to find
This tunnel vision left me blind
With no sense of where to go
There's paper cuts on both my hands
Flipping through these books trying to understand
I don't, so I just go with the flow
There's an open door with a clenched fist
And crooked signs that I might have missed
Some, somewhere along the way
As I close my eyes I disappear
To a place in time far from here
I run, but I can't outrun today
There's lightning in the sky
I'm on the road
As an overwhelming urgency explodes
All my life been waiting to arrive
It's not the destination it's the drive
I woke up with a bloody nose
And bruises on my feet and toes
Been kicking and screaming at the wall
Strange how you feel most alive
When you're broken down trying to survive
You cry and curl up into a ball
Somewhere in the solitude
Silence creeps up in front of you
For once there's nothing left to lose
As I stare into the empty space
Everything seems to dissipate
Even if I could I wouldn't want to move
There's lightning in the sky
I'm on the road
As an overwhelming urgency explodes
All my life been waiting to arrive
It's not the destination it's the drive
Woke up today with burning ears
Has it been 30 days or 30 years
I call, get you on the phone
Said there's paper cuts on both your hands
Flipping through these books trying to understand
This life gets stranger as we go
There's lightning in the sky
I'm on the road
As an overwhelming urgency explodes
All my life been waiting to arrive
It's not the destination it's the drive
It's the drive
Shine Like Gold lyrics - Switchfoot / Lifehouse
Fear in your eyes like you're lookin' for a window
For the wide open skies wonderin' where do I begin though?
If you knew how bright you shine
Do you think it might change your mind?
The clouds are on fire, and they're telling you something that they know
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
Remember what you said when you drove all night from Memphis?
That the headlights of your eyes were running from the tempest
Well the dawn broke through the black
When you're laughin', lookin' back
No matter how dark, the morning comes up relentless
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
And your soul was born to shine
Like a spark (like a spark)
In the night (in the night)
In the dark, it hides your glow
When the thoughts, in your mind
Are like thieves
And they take you places
Where love is hard to believe
And the air gets thin
And lungs find it harder to breathe
Remember what you know
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
And your soul was born to shine
Like a spark (like a spark)
In the night (in the night)
In the dark, it hides your glow
