All In lyrics - Lifehouse

All night, staring at the ceiling

Counting for minutes, I'm feeling

This way, so far away and so alone

But you know it's alright, I came to my senses

Let go of my defenses

There's no way I'm giving up this time

Yeah, you know I'm right here

I'm not losing you this time

And I'm all in, nothing left to hide

I've fallen harder than a landslide

I spent a week away from you last night

And now I'm calling, calling out your name

Even if I lose the game

I'm all in, I'm all in tonight

Yeah, I'm all in, I'm all in for life

There's no taking back, what we've got's too strong

We've had each other's back for too long

There's no breaking up this time

And you know it's okay, I came to my senses

Let go of my defenses

There's no way I'm giving up this time

And I'm all in, nothing left to hide

I've fallen harder than a landslide

I spent a week away from you last night

And now I'm calling, calling out your name

Even if I lose the game

I'm all in, I'm all in tonight

Yeah, I'm all in, I'm all in for life

I want it, I want it, yeah, I want it

Yeah, I want it, I want it, I want it

Yeah, I want it, I want it, yeah, I want it

Oh, I'm calling, calling out your name

Even if I lose the game

I'm all in, I'm all in for life

And I'm all in, nothing left to hide

I've fallen harder than a landslide

I spent a week away from you last night

And now I'm calling, calling out your name

Even if I lose the game

I'm all in, I'm all in tonight

Yeah, I'm all in, I'm all in for life

Yeah, I'm all in, I'm all in for life

Yeah, I'm all in, I'm all in for life

Nerve Damage lyrics - Lifehouse

I see through your clothes

Your nerve damage shows

Trying not to feel

Anything that's real

You're losing control

Meltdown's looking for a new clown

Living in a world that's make believe

Used up burned out always got a hand out

Ain't nothing here for free

Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow

Let go let it be

New circus freak

With black eyes that speak

Life takes it's toll

You push and it pulls

You're losing control

Meltdown's looking for a new clown

Living in a world that's make believe

Used up burned out always got a hand out

Ain't nothing here for free

Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow

Let go let it be

I see through your clothes

Your nerve damage shows

You're losing control

Meltdown's looking for a new clown

Living in a world that's make believe

Used up burned out always got a hand out

Ain't nothing here for free

Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow

Let go let it be

Hell bent looking for a god-sent

Kicking down the door waiting for a sign

Right side turning on the bright side

That might not be what you find

Wake up move on nothing left to prove

Got nightmares in your dreams

Had Enough lyrics - Lifehouse (feat. Chris Daughtry)

Loneliness

Pacing up and down these hallways

Second-guessing every thought

Mystified

Just spinning 'round in circles

Drowning in the silent screaming

With nothing left to say

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

I believe

That love should be a reason

To give and get back in return

I wanna breathe

In a new beginning

With someone who will wrap her arms

Around what's left of me

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

Inside I'm barely holding on

There's something that's already gone

Inside of me the world is in this all alone

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

I've had enough, had enough of this

Halfway Gone lyrics - Lifehouse

Halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

You were always hard to hold

So letting go ain't easy

I'm hanging on but growing cold

While my mind is leaving

Talk, talk is cheap

Give me your word you can keep

Because I'm halfway gone, and I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feeling, feeling this way

Because you're halfway in, but don't take too long

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

You got one foot out the door

And choking on the other

Always think there's something more

Is just around the corner

Talk, talk is cheap

Give me your word you can keep

Because I'm halfway gone, and I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feeling, feeling this way

Because you're halfway in, but don't take too long

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feeling, I'm feeling this way

Because you're halfway in, but don't take too long

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Now I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Don't take too long, don't take too long

Because I'm on my way, if you take too long

Because I'm halfway gone, and I'm on way

And I'm feeling, feeling, I'm feeling this way

Because you're halfway in, but don't take too long

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feeling, I'm feeling this way

Because you're halfway in, but don't take too long

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Because I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

It Is What It Is lyrics - Lifehouse

I was only looking for a shortcut home

But it's complicated, so complicated

Somewhere in this city is a road I know

Where we could make it but maybe there's no making it now

Too long we've been denying, now we're both tired of trying

We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Nothing to relive, it's water under the bridge

You said it, I get it, I guess it is what it is

I was only trying to bury the pain

But I made you cry and I can't stop the crying

Was only trying to save me but I lost you again

Now there's only lying, wish I could say it's only me

Too long we've been denying, now we're both tired of trying

We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Nothing to relive, it's water under the bridge

You said it, I get it, I guess it is what it is

Here it comes, ready or not

We both found out it's not how we thought

That it would be

How it would be

If the time could turn us around

What was once lost may be found

For you and me

For you and me

Too long we've been denying, now we're both tired of trying

We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Nothing to relive, it's water under the bridge

You said it, I get it, I guess it is what it is

I was only looking for a shortcut home

But it's complicated, so complicated

From Where You Are lyrics - Lifehouse

So far away from where you are

These miles have torn us worlds apart

And I miss you

Yeah, I miss you

So far away from where you are

I'm standing underneath the stars

And I wish you (And I wish you) were here

I miss the years that were erased (That were erased)

I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face

I miss all the little things (Little things)

I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

Yeah, I miss you (Yeah, I miss you)

And I wish you, were here

I feel the beating of your heart

I see the shadows of your face

Just know that wherever you are

Yeah, I miss you (Yeah, I miss you)

And I wish you (And I wish you) were here

I miss the years that were erased (That were erased)

I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face

I miss all the little things (All the little things)

I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

Yeah, I miss you (Yeah, I miss you)

And I wish you, were here

So far away from where you are

These miles have torn us worlds apart

And I miss you (And I miss you)

Yeah, I miss you (Yeah, I miss you)

And I wish you (And I wish you) were here

Smoke & Mirrors lyrics - Lifehouse

There was a time, was a place back when

You and I were living alone together

We held each other in the middle of the night

And swore we'd somehow make it better

We set our sights on the big city lights

No moss on these rolling stones

And here we are with everything we ever wanted

But now we're together alone

Gotta break out of this place we're in

Runnin' out of time and out of sin

We were living smoke and mirrors anyway

Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear

Chasing down the miles so far from here

As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away

We're still the same...

I remember thinking we could make it out somehow

If somehow we ever took a chance

We packed up what we had and threw it in the trunk

Didn't give our life a second glance

Now the days roll hard and the nights move fast

They say, "Be careful what you wish,"

But having everything means nothing to me now

What we had is everything I miss

Gotta break out of this place we're in

Runnin' out of time and out of sin

We were living smoke and mirrors anyway

Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear

Chasing down the miles so far from here

As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away

You know we're still the same... still the same

Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear

Chasing down the miles so far from here

As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away

And we're all we've got so let's hold on tight

To the dreams that came before the fight

We were living smoke and mirrors anyway

Falling In lyrics - Lifehouse

Every time I see your face

My heart takes off on a high-speed chase

Now, don't be scared. It's only love

Baby, that we're falling in

I can't wait 'til tomorrow

This feeling has swallowed me whole

And I know that I've lost control

This heart that I've followed

Has left me so hollow

That was then, this is now, yeah you have changed everything

Every time I see your face

My heart takes off on a high-speed chase

Now don't be scared, it's only love

That we're falling in

I would never do you wrong

Or let you down or lead you on

Don't look down, it's only love

Baby, that we're falling in

I'm standing in your driveway

It's midnight and I'm sideways

I have to find out if you feel the same

Won't be easy, have my doubts too

But it's over, without you I'm just lost, incomplete

Yeah you feel like home, home to me

Every time I see your face

My heart takes off on a high-speed chase

Now don't be scared, it's only love

That we're falling in

I would never do you wrong

Or let you down or lead you on

Don't look down, it's only love

Baby, that we're falling in, falling in

All those nights I stayed awake

Thinking of all the ways to make you mine

All of those smiles will never fade

Never run out of ways to blow my mind

Every time I see your face

My heart takes off on a high-speed chase

Now don't be scared, it's only love

That we're falling in

I would never do you wrong

Or let you down or lead you on

Now, don't look down, it's only love

Baby, that we're falling in

Don't be scared, it's only love

Baby, that we're falling in

Wrecking Ball lyrics - Lifehouse

I'm alone, wandering in your space

Waiting for a sign of life

Looking so out of place

And then you whisper to me

It doesn't matter what you say

I feel the weight against the wind

The demolition of me caving in

And I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball

While you're building up and breaking down my wall

You push and pull and give and take

And through it all, I gravitate to you

And I'm a fool, a mechanical tool for you

'Cause you've got all the switches and

Levers to blow my cool

And when you know I'm broken

That's when you come shining through

You set me up to knock me down

And leave my shattered pieces on the ground

And I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball

While you're building up and breaking down my wall

(I'm not ready to break)

You push and pull and give and take

And through it all, I gravitate to you

You set me up to knock me down

And leave my shattered pieces on the ground

And I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball

While you're building up and breaking down my wall

(I'm not ready to break)

You push and pull and give and take

And through it all, I gravitate to you

Here Tomorrow Gone Today lyrics - Lifehouse

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

You got what you wanted, the world on a string

Found your Madonna and lost everything

We all had your back and watched you run away

Always here tomorrow and gone today

Always here tomorrow and gone today

You're all talk and nothing to say

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Know how to move and you know how to shake

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

A walking disaster soakin' space

Just a matter of time before you show your second face

A maniacal master of getting your way

Always here tomorrow and gone today

You're all talk and nothing to say

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Know how to move and you know how to shake

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Got style but you got no game

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

You're always looking for somebody to play

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

You're all talk and nothing to say

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Know how to move and you know how to shake

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Got style but you got no game

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

You're always looking for somebody to play

We don't want, don't want what you're giving away

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

Here tomorrow, gone today

By Your Side lyrics - Lifehouse

All I want now is to be with you

'Cause you know I've been everywhere else

Looking back at what you got me through

You knew me better than I knew myself

When I feel lost and I can't find my way

When words are at a loss I can hear you say

I'll be by your side, when all hope has died

I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side

When everything's wrong, I will still be around

By your side

Fighting my way back to where you are

The only place I ever felt at home

Stumbling backwards through the dark

I know how it feels to be alone

And where we go is where I wanna be

And in the silence I hear you say to me

I'll be by your side, when all hope has died

I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side

When everything's wrong, I will still be around

I can't wait another day with so much space between

Your heart and mine, when you're all that I need

You say I

I'll be by your side, when all hope has died

I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side

When everything's wrong, I will still be around

By your side, by your side, by your side, by your side, by your side

In Your Skin lyrics - Lifehouse

Throw stones, breaking bones

Then wonder why you run for cover

You fight the world from inside

Lay down, playing dead

Turn the pages, just another

Wasted day in your mind

You live to run away

But fear's the hardest act to follow

Let me let you in

Hold on another day

Face the truth, it's hard to swallow

It's time to begin

There's only one life

In your skin

Wake up, take a breath

Remember why you're even breathing

You're still alive

Give in, give it up

You're the only one believing

In all of your lies

You live to run away

But fear's the hardest act to follow

Let me let you in

Hold on another day

Face the truth, it's hard to swallow

It's time to begin

There's only one life

In your skin

In your skin

You live to run away

But fear's the hardest act to follow

Let me let you in

Hold on another day

Face the truth, it's hard to swallow

It's time to begin

There's only one life

In your skin

In your skin

All That I'm Asking For lyrics - Lifehouse

Gravity pulls and

We fall from the clouds

We prove to each other

That we're both human now

The time that we spent

Trying to make sense

Of it all

All that I'm asking for

Is that you'd need nothing more

And nothing comes in between

Our love and its fragile seams

All that I'm asking for

You're all that I'm asking for

Now we walk together

Knowing where we've been

Knowing the stakes of being mistaken again

It's in the past tense

There is no making sense of it now

All that I'm asking for

Is that you'd need nothing more

And nothing comes in between

Our love and its fragile seams

All that I'm asking for

You're all that I'm asking for

In the still of your hands

Anything can happen now

With every beat of my heart

Love speaks in silence

In the still of your hands

Anything is possible

With every beat of my heart

The time that we spent

Trying to make sense of it all

Now all that I'm asking for

Is that you'd need nothing more

And nothing comes in between

Our love and its fragile seams

All that I'm asking for

Is that you'd need nothing more

And nothing comes in between

Our love and its fragile seams

All that I'm asking for

You're all that I'm asking for

(It's in the past tense)

(There is no making sense of it now)

Crash And Burn lyrics - Lifehouse

All these lights are catching up to me

I just can't put insomnia to sleep

I close my eyes but all that I can see

Is someone who I'm never gonna be

I hope that you can bring me back

I gotta to make it right

And if I fall and crash and burn

At least we both know that I tried

And as I crawl those lessons learned

Yeah they remind me I survived

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Silence just keeps screaming back at me

The ones I love are lost in memories

And I wish that I could take back what was done

You can only change the person you've become

I have to try and find a way

To leave it all behind

And if I fall and crash and burn

At least we both know that I tried

And as I crawl those lessons learned

Yeah they remind me I survived

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I've been hurt and I've been scarred

At least I know that I'm alive

And if I fall and crash and burn

At least we both know that I tried

All of the things I tried say

All of the words just got in the way

I'm waiting here, I need your help

Don't leave me down here all by myself

And if I fall and crash and burn

At least we both know that I tried

And as I crawl those lessons learned

Yeah they remind me I survived

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I've been hurt and I've been scarred

At least I know that I'm alive

And if I fall and crash and burn

At least we both know that I tried

Everything (Live In-Studio Version) lyrics - Lifehouse

Find me here

Speak to me

I want to feel You

I need to hear You

You are the light that's leading me

To the place where I find peace again

You are the strength that keeps me walking

You are the hope that keeps me trusting

You are the light to my soul

You are my purpose

You are everything

How can I stand here with You

And not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms

And You give me rest

You hold me in Your hands

You won't let me fall

You steal my heart and You take my breath away

Would You take me in, take me deeper now

How can I stand here with You

And not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

And how can I stand here with You

And not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

'Cause You're all I want

You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

And how can I stand here with You

And not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with You

And not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with You

And not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

Would You tell me

How could it be any better than this?

Near Life Experience lyrics - Lifehouse

If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf

You might not understand, but I bet you'd believe

This bat is inside, crawling around

The cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out

You said I look like a ghost, man I almost was

You said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz

That picture in time, frozen like ice

That girls keep repeating, beating me down to size

Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark

I didn't get what I want, I got what I need

Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees

Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?

The night is my friend, I blend in with the best:

The vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest

Now we can pretend that we really care less

And act like we love what we really detest

Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark

I didn't get what I want, I got what I need

Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees

Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?

Make this go away, I'm begging please [?]

There's little life left here for me to bleed

Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?

I'm looking up but I'm feeling down

Since I'm cutting these corners, was cutting me down to size

Am I losing control or losing my mind?

I know for a fact I'm losing my last place to hide

Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark

I didn't get what I want, I got what I need

Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees

Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?

My pulse is racing, I can't catch my breath

This near-life experience scared me to death

Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?

Or is this where we begin?

Don't Wake Me When It's Over lyrics - Lifehouse

One, two, three, four

There's so much more than time, in the life we live

With so much more to love, than we can give

You say a hard rain's gonna fall, but I'm not afraid

I'm floating in my mind, as the world gets colder

Frozen, like a star don't wake me when it's over

Breakdown, all around the world is off my shoulder

I'm falling with the tide don't wake me when it's over now

Silence is the only sound, that I want to hear

In the space where we are now, everything is clear

They say the trouble's on the way, but I'm not afraid

I'm floating in my mind, as the world gets colder

Frozen, like a star don't wake me when it's over

Breakdown, all around the world is off my shoulder

I'm falling with the tide don't wake me when it's over now

I'm floating in my mind, as the world gets colder

Frozen, like a star don't wake me when it's over

Running out of time, as the sun gets closer

Fading far behind, yesterday grows older

Breakdown, all around the world is off my shoulder

I'm falling with the tide don't wake me when it's over now

Best Of Me (What's Left Of Me) lyrics - Lifehouse

I traded me in, sold my soul

That's what you wanted

And I gave you the wheel, I gave you control

That's what you wanted

What a letdown letting myself be

Somebody who can't even recognize me

Such a letdown letting it all break down

Hey I have given you the best of me, best of me

I ain't gonna let you take what's left of me, left of me

Said you wanted time, said you needed space

Well you got plenty of it

You went behind my back lied to my face

Like you were above it

Now you're back and you're saying that you're sorry

Didn't know what you were doing when you lost me

Now you're back. Do you really think it's that easy?

Hey I have given you the best of me, best of me

I ain't gonna let you take what's left of me, left of me

Hey I have given you the best of me, best of me

I ain't gonna let you take what's left of me, left of me

What a letdown, what a letdown

Let it breakdown, let it breakdown

What a letdown, what a letdown

Let it breakdown, let it breakdown

What a letdown, what a letdown

I traded me in, sold my soul

That's what you wanted

Hey I have given you the best of me, best of me

I ain't gonna let you take what's left of me, left of me

Hey I have given you the best of me, best of me

I ain't gonna let you take what's left of me, left of me

What a letdown, what a letdown

Let it breakdown, let it breakdown

What a letdown, what a letdown

Let it breakdown, let it breakdown

What a letdown, what a letdown

Halfway Gone (Demolition Crew Remix) lyrics - Lifehouse

You were always hard to hold

So letting go ain't easy

I'm hanging on but growing cold

While my mind is leaving

Talk, talk is cheap

Give me a word you can keep

'Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feelin' feelin' this way

'Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long

'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

I'm halfway gone...I'm halfway gone

You got one foot out the door

And choking on the other

Always think something more

Is just around the corner

Talk, talk is cheap

Give me a word you can keep (you can keep)

'Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feelin' feelin' this way

'Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long

'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way

And I'm feelin, feelin' feelin' this way

'Cause you're halfway in, but don't take too long

'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (whoa whoa)

I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (whoa whoa)

Now I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

Don't take too long

Don't take too long

'Cause I'm on my way

If you take too long

'Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on my way

And I'm feeling, feelin' I'm feelin' this way

'Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long

'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way

And I'm feelin', feelin' feelin' this way

'Cause you're halfway in, but don't take too long

'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (whoa whoa)

'Cause I'm halfway gone, and I'm halfway gone (whoa whoa)

'Cause I'm halfway gone, yeah I'm halfway gone
