Disarray lyrics - Lifehouse

I've faced my demons

Wrestling these angels to the ground

And all that I could find

Was a thin line between all the saints

And villains it was crossed

In my own mind

Some day I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don't know where I'm going

But it's alright

I wouldn't have it any other way

Struggling between the facts and fiction

I'm alone, but I'm alive

Everyone around me is trying to make a statement

Then there's me

I'm just trying to survive

Some day I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don't know where I'm going

But it's alright

I wouldn't have it any other way

If this was any other day

I'd pretend to know where I stand

I just don't know

I just don't know

I just don't know

Some day I'm gonna find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don't know where I'm going

But it's alright

I wouldn't have it any other way

Someday I will find it

Wish I knew what I was looking for

Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)

I woke up this morning

Don't know where I'm going

But it's alright

First Time lyrics - Lifehouse

We're both looking for something

We've been afraid to find

It's easier to be broken

It's easier to hide

Looking at you, holding my breath

For once in my life, I'm scared to death

I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

We're feeling alive all over again

As deep as the sky, under my skin

Like being in love, she says, for the first time

Well, maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right

Wherever I belong with you tonight

Like being in love, to feel for the first time

The world that I see inside you

Waiting to come to life

Waking me up to dreaming

Reality in your eyes

Looking at you, holding my breath

For once in my life, I'm scared to death

I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

We're feeling alive all over again

As deep as the sky, under my skin

Like being in love, she says, for the first time

Well, maybe I'm wrong but I'm feeling right

Wherever I belong with you tonight

Like being in love, to feel for the first time

(For the first time, for the first time)

We're crashing into

Into the unknown

We're lost in this

But it feels like home

Feeling alive all over again

As deep as the sky that's under my skin

Like being in love, she says, for the first time

Well, maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right

Wherever I belong with you tonight

Like being in love, to feel for the first time

(For the first time, for the first time)

Like being in love, she says, for the first time

(For the first time, for the first time)

Like being in love, to feel for the first time

(For the first time)

Whatever It Takes lyrics - Lifehouse

A strangled smile fell from your face

It kills me that I hurt you this way

The worst part is that I didn't even know

Now there's a million reasons for you to go

But if you can find a reason to stay

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

Believe that I can change

I'll keep us together whatever it takes

She said, "If we're gonna make this work

You gotta let me inside even though it hurts

Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see"

She said, "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be

You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

And give me a break

I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better

But remember the time I told you the way that I felt

That I'd be lost without you and never find myself

Let's hold onto each other above everything else

Start over, start over

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

Believe that I can change

I'll keep us together whatever it takes

Who We Are lyrics - Lifehouse

Live my life around a picture taken when we met

Spending all of my time chasing your silhouette

For all we go through, I don't wanna change you

It's my mind running in reverse trying not to forget

Who we were (Who we were)

Where it's at

Here we go (Here we go)

And we break and we burn

And we turn it inside out

To take it back to the start

And through the rise and falling apart

We discover who we are

Struggling with my thoughts, change the locks inside my head

Reading between the lines of what you say and what you said

I turn the radio on to drown me out

Driving through the night to nowhere, trying to forget

Who we were (Who we were)

And where it's at

Here we go (Here we go)

And we break and we burn

And we turn it inside out

To take it back to the start

And through the rise and falling apart

We discover who we are

And it's all to the wind

It's all in our hands

It's all to the wind

It's all in our hands

And we break and we burn

And we turn it inside out

To take it back to the start

And through the rise and falling apart

We discover who we are

And we break (We break) and we burn (And we burn)

And we turn it inside out

To take it back to the start (To the start, yeah)

And through the rise and falling apart

We discover who we are

Broken lyrics - Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort

It helps me sleep tonight

Maybe it can stop tomorrow

From stealing all my time

And I am here still waiting

Though I still have my doubts

I am damaged at best

Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain

There is healing

In your name

I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on

I'm holdin' on

I'm holdin' on

I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning

You got inside my head

I tried my best to be guarded

I'm an open book instead

And I still see your reflection

Inside of my eyes

That are looking for a purpose

They're still looking for life

I'm falling apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain (in the pain)

Is there healing

In your name (in your name)

I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day

Just to see what you will throw my way

And I'm hanging on to the words you say

You said that I will, will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone

I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain (in the pain)

There is healing

In your name (in your name)

I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')

I'm barely holdin' on to you

The Joke lyrics - Lifehouse

When you find me in the morning

Hanging on a warning

Oh... the joke is on you

You said you were pretending

Here's to unhappy endings

Oh... the joke is on you

To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat

I took a shortcut home, a left on the street

I know they won't find me here

I found out how to make mama proud

Be real quiet don't talk too loud

I try, try to disappear

My life is for the taking

Breakdown is awaking me

I'm ending all this pain

When you find me in the morning

Hanging on a warning

Oh... the joke is on you

You said you were pretending

Here's to unhappy endings

Oh... the joke is on you

This is my last day

Should have been my first kiss

Think to myself will I ever be missed

I hope... or maybe I don't care

I wear my team around my neck

I love them so much gonna love them to death

Tonight... see the world through my eyes

My life is for the taking

Breakdown is awaking me

I'm ending all this pain

When you find me in the morning

Hanging on a warning

Oh... the joke is on you

My great escape

Is my biggest mistake

I think you better turn around

Don't throw it away

Today... today

When you find me in the morning

Hanging on a warning

Oh... the joke is on you

You said you were pretending

Here's to unhappy endings

Oh... the joke is on you

The joke is on you

The joke is on you

The joke is on you

The joke is on you

Easier To Be lyrics - Lifehouse

Chasing fireflies

Elusive dreams

This pre-life crisis

Is killing me

Beautiful tragedy

Who I was wasn't me

Yeah yeah

Do do do do

You make it easier to be

Easier to be me

It's hard to believe

You make it easy

We speak in silence

Words can't break

It feels like we are

Falling awake

In a place and a time

Of our own

Yeah yeah

Do do do do

You make it easier to be

Easier to be me

It's hard to believe

You make it easy

It felt like the world

Fell from my feet

Gave up on myself

You didn't give up on me

Let myself go

You were still there

Like coming home

Coming up for air

Yeah yeah

Do do do do

You make it easier to be

Easier to be me

It's hard to believe

You make it easy

Make Me Over lyrics - Lifehouse

Wrap my arms

Around your name

Feel your breath

Against my pain

As I breathe out the past is gone

Empty smile

Naked heart

Who I was

Falls apart

When you're here inside of me

Feel 'til you're numb

Depth perception becoming

The new deaf and dumb

I'm losing myself just to find a place in your mind

In your mind

Changing myself just to stand along in your eyes

In your eyes... pull me in

Take me out

Make me over

Read the wave

Ride your fears

In this ocean of years

We've been here, swimming on

Take me deep

'Til I find

Every corner of your mind

We've been here, swimming on

Touch 'til you taste

All the time we are wasting

Alone, waiting here

I'm losing myself just to find a place in your mind

In your mind

Changing myself just to stand

Alone in your eyes

Your eyes

Pull me in

Take me out

Make me over and shout me out loud

Shout me out loud

Mesmerized lyrics - Lifehouse

Filling a space

Burning a chapter of your life

This was the place that only you would know

Walking away, watching the ashes as they fall

Reaching into your eyes

I can feel you crawling

Through my veins like

Catching the first sunrise

Mesmerized

Sever the skies, bury the truth, forget the time

These were the years we tried to leave behind

Whatever we are, I still remember the way we were

Reaching into your eyes

I can feel you crawling

Through my veins like

Catching the first sunrise

Mesmerized

Sometimes when I'm with you

These feelings falling like a landslide

As both of our dreams collide

Reaching into your eyes

I can feel you crawling

Through my veins like

Catching the first sunrise

Mesmerized

Bridges lyrics - Lifehouse

It's such a shame to let this go to waste

There's a little time left here for saving face

We tried to put a bandage on these years

I know this isn't what you want to hear

You can say what you like pass the blame I don't mind because

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Our common ground was broken long ago

What slipped through the cracks I fear we'll never know

I'll walk you through the graveyard of my mind

Show you a love that I buried alive

'Cause we both walked away

Who was wrong, who's to say I know

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

We both lit the match that burned the bridge

We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Learn You Inside Out lyrics - Lifehouse

See my feet on the ground

But it feels like the world's gravity drowned

When I'm with you I'm high

Instead of hiding my face

My mind's in your eyes

Can your love embrace

Me as I am

In the silence, you stare at the world

Your eyes are screaming to be heard

I want to learn you inside out

When time isn't on our side

All we have is now

For the rest of our lives

Let's stay up all night

In the silence, you stare at the world

Your eyes are screaming to be heard

I want to learn you inside out

All that changes is time

Can't keep you inside of me

You're out of my mind

I wear you on my sleeve

In the silence, you stare at the world

Your eyes are screaming to be heard

I want to learn you inside out

I see all that you want to be

Look into your soul

Looking right back at me

I want to learn you inside out

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

I'll Keep The Change lyrics - Lifehouse

Covered in dust

Outside your cage

The people you trust

Lock you away

The blood in the dust

Spell out your name

You know that it is

Your price to pay

This is your chance

To break these chains

So, where did it all go wrong?

Everything happened so fast

How could we both believe

That this could ever last?

And if you're not moving on

You can have the past

I'll keep the change

One way ride

Out of this grave

Into the sunlight

That melts us away

The shadows at night

Kept you awake

Haunted by love

And our mistakes

There is still time

To catch that change

So, where did it all go wrong?

Everything happened so fast

How could we both believe

That this could ever last?

And if you're not moving on

You can have the past

I'll keep the change

Follow the pieces of my heart

Back to the place where you are

To remind myself of how far I've come

And I emptied all these tears that I saved up in a jar

Until these memories got dried up by the sun

There was still time

To catch that change

So, where did it all go wrong?

Everything happened so fast

How could we both believe

That this could ever last?

And if you're not moving on

You can have the past

I'll keep the change

You can have the past

I'll keep the change

You can have the past

I'll keep the change

I Want You To Know lyrics - Lifehouse

When will the cycle stop?

When will the story end?

This is where I get off

Because I can't go there anymore

It's too hard to ignore the signs

Where did these tears come from?

It feels like they'll never dry

What have we both become?

'Cause we are strangers in time

Where blood is our only tie

And I want you to know

That I loved you most

And it breaks my heart to see you go

I wanted to make you proud

I wanted to see you smile

But it wasn't good enough. Yeah

When will the cycle stop

When will the story end

This is where I get off

'Cause we are strangers in time

Where blood is our only tie

And I want you to know

That I loved you most

And it breaks my heart to see you go

And I want you to know

That I loved you most

And it breaks my heart to see you go

Signs Of Life lyrics - Lifehouse

Break through hoping your demons can't catch you

So many people with a good view

If you should ever be the one to hit the ground

There's stop signs on the wrong highway

And it's so dark looking for answers

But your headlights have already gone out

You're looking for a spark

Can April hours spring

Signs of life in me?

A heart that's been buried in the ground

Can't break if it's never found

I spent so much time digging that grave

And even if it's pain that I feel

At least I know that it's real

I'd rather be broken than afraid

Can April hours spring

Signs of life in me?

It's a long ride don't think it's over

It's a fine line between disaster and a good time

Pick up the pieces and find out who you are

It's a cool sound you know you're hiding

For a meltdown feeling the pressure

Like a landslide you have to figure out why you fell apart

Can April hours spring

Signs of life in me?

A heart that's been buried in the ground

Can't break if it's never found

I spent so much time digging that grave

And even if it's pain that I feel

At least I know that it's real

I'd rather be broken than afraid

Can April hours spring

Signs of life in me?

Yeah, oh

Just slow down and take it in stride, yeah

There's no deadlines as long as you're alive, yeah

Alive, yeah

Alive, yeah

Just slow down and take it in stride, yeah

There's no deadlines as long as you're alive, yeah

Alive, yeah

Just slow down and take it in stride, yeah

There's no deadlines as long as you're alive, yeah

Alive, yeah

If This Is Goodbye lyrics - Lifehouse

And day light's craving

Sunshine on this frozen heart

I am wishing you well

Wondering how you are

If you and I are going under

Maybe we can both recover

And find forgiveness for each other

Even if this is goodbye

And time heals

But these scars keep on tearing us apart

And sometimes ending is the only place to start

If you and I are going under (going under)

Maybe we can both recover (we can recover)

And find forgiveness for each other

Even if this is goodbye

Is goodbye, is goodbye, is goodbye, is goodbye, is goodbye

If you and I are going under

Maybe we can both recover

And find forgiveness for each other

Even if

If what we had is really over

If fate is out there we discover

Let's find forgiveness for each other

Even if this is goodbye
