Lifehouse Lyrics

Anchor lyrics - Lifehouse

I stand with a blank expression now

And I can't believe myself

Will someone tell me how

Did I get here?

I am walking

Changing slowly

Why I am chasing

Climbing closer

I know that I'll never be alone

You will never let me go

You are my anchor

Hold my hand

While I'm sinking in the sand

No one else could understand

You are my anchor

It seems that I lost track of time

And I can't believe my mind

Would you save me if

I reached out to you

I'm waiting, watching, standing

Why I am reaching

Climbing closer

I know that I'll never be alone

You will never let me go

You are my anchor

Hold my hand

While I'm sinking in the sand

No one else could understand

You are my anchor

Why I am walking

Changing slowly

I am chasing

Climbing closer

I know that I'll never be alone

You will never let me go

You are my anchor

Hold my hand

While I'm sinking in the sand

No one else could understand

You are my anchor

Can you hear me

Hear me

Can you hear me

Am I Ever Gonna Find Out lyrics - Lifehouse

Silence is golden

But I think it's gonna kill me now

Everything I've seen

Never seems to feel me now

No one told me that the world could fall through yeah

In between this am I gonna find a way

To defeat this living inside yesterday

I'm alive I think it's time to live

Like I am

Am I ever gonna find it

Am I ever gonna find out

Patience can wait for now

I think I've waited for too long

You always gave a choice

Well I know right to be wrong

All my life has been slipping through your hands yeah

In between this am I gonna find a way

To defeat this living inside yesterday

I'm alive I think it's time to live

Like I am

Am I ever gonna find it

Am I ever gonna find out

In between this am I gonna find a way

To defeat this living inside yesterday

I'm alive I think it's time to live

Like I am

Am I ever gonna find it

Am I ever gonna find out

Stanley Climbfall lyrics - Lifehouse

Quiet

Seems like an honest world

You're begging for the baker's bread when the money's out

Stand, climb and fall

You carry the world

Can't carry your hope

When the world is falling down

And another breaks

And another falls

Four losers always make the winner's day

Stand, climb and fall

You carry the weight

Can't carry it all

Are you falling

Are you faking

Are you healing

Are you breaking

Am I burning

Am I only melting

These diamonds in the making

When I'm at the end of myself

Everything you want

When nothing seems to satisfy me

Take anything you want

Quiet

A sound you know so well

You're living just to make it through another day

Stand, climb and fall

You carry the world

Can't carry your hope

Are you falling

Are you faking

Are you healing

Are you breaking

Am I burning

Am I only melting

These diamonds in the making

When I'm at the end of myself

Everything you want

When nothing seems to satisfy me

Take anything you want

Quiet

Out Of Breath lyrics - Lifehouse

I still feel the same

Though everything has changed

The pain it cost now

I feel lost inside of my own name

But I keep running

Why I'm running

I keep living for the day that I'm with you

That I'm with you

The past has left its stain

Now I feel the shame

I'll seize the day if you take away

The chains of yesterday

But I keep running, I am running

I keep living for the day that I'm with you

And I am waiting, I am waiting

I keep waiting for the day that I'm with you

A new day, the sun is shining

Seems I'm closer to finding

That life is more than who we are

No way that I am turning

As long as the sun is burning

Now it seems that all I want is you

I still feel the same

Though everything has changed

The pain it cost now

I feel lost inside of my own name

But I keep running, I am running

I keep living for the day that I'm with you

And I am waiting, I am waiting

I keep waiting for the day that I'm with you

Just Another Name lyrics - Lifehouse

These clouds around you break your fall

As you came crashing to the ground

Did you learn anything at all

You climb back up to come back down

Everybody knows your name

But they don't know who you are

But to them it's just the same

Yeah, you're just another name

She said fame will bring you down

At least that's what she used to say

Then they handed her another crown

She said it would never be this way

Everybody knows your name

But they don't know who you are

But to them it's just the same

Yeah you're just another name

La da da da da just another name

Yesterday she was a little girl

Pretending she was queen

Didn't know it'd change the world

Didn't know what this should mean

Which mask will you wear today

How about the one with the pretty smile

To you it's just another day

In a life you haven't lived in quite awhile

Everybody knows your name

But they don't know who you are

But to them it's just a game

And I think it's gone too far

Everybody knows your name

But they don't know who you are

You've got the most familiar face

But your just another name

La da da da da just another name

Take Me Away lyrics - Lifehouse

This time all I want is you

There is no one else

Who can take your place

This time you burned me with the way

You see past all the lies

You take it all away

I've seen it all and it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

I try to make my way to you

But still I feel so lost

I don't know what to say, what else to do

I've seen it all and it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

Don't give up on me yet, don't forget who I am

I know I'm not there yet, but don't let me stay here alone

This time all I want is you

There is no one else

Who can take your place

I've seen enough and it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

My Precious lyrics - Lifehouse

Can't hold you down

Can I be you

There's nothing I can do

A slave to your hands

Climb up above

Your precious time

Don't worry your time

Don't hurry your mind

Where did you go?

Where did you hide?

All I can do

Is watch you pass by

Climb up above

Your precious time

Don't worry your time

Don't hurry your mind

Every time I try to take it back

I know I don't wanna live like that

I'll wait for tomorrow

Too tired to go the other way

Too late to wait another day

I'm going on

Climb up above

Your precious time

Don't worry your time

Don't hurry your mind

Climb up above

Your precious time

Don't worry your time

Don't hurry your mind

Empty Space lyrics - Lifehouse

Too late to hide

And too tired to care

Take what you've left

And forget the rest

Take what you see

Of what's left of me

You know where I've been

And I don't want to go there again

You're beautiful

You're confusing

You're illogical

You're amazing

And I've seen the world

It's overrated

Until you're everything

I have nothing

But empty space

I've been down

This road before

All that I've found

Points me right back to you

I've watched you move

From down below

Where do I go from here

I guess I'll find out as I go

You're beautiful

You're confusing

You're illogical

You're amazing

And I've seen the world

It's overrated

Until you're everything

I have nothing

But empty space

You're beautiful

You're confusing

You're illogical

You're amazing

And I've seen the world

It's overrated

Until you're everything

I have nothing

Until you're everything

I have nothing

But an empty space

The Beginning lyrics - Lifehouse

Tainted, has our love gone cold?

In a place that's bitter and broken

We tasted of a world unknown

Surely there must be something better, something forever

Hello, from the world below

While I'm watching the sun burning

As the road is slowly turning

When I know that in letting go

While I'm learning how to live

Through a life I have to give

Walking past the city lights

Silence can be so disturbing

You'll find me standing in the night

The stars never seem so unending, so unending

Hello, from the world below

While I'm watching the sun burning

As the road is slowly turning

When I know that in letting go

While I'm learning how to live

Through a life I have to give

But we painted almost everything without

There remains our shadows and the stones

Tell me where did we go wrong?

Can we just move on?

Hello, from the world below

While I'm watching the sun burning

As the road is slowly turning

When I know that in letting go

While I'm learning how to live

Through a life I have to give

Well, hello to the world below

While I'm watching the world spinning

This night seems so unending

Well, I'll follow to a place I know

That's only the beginning

Start over after ending

How Long lyrics - Lifehouse

Climb on top of all you despise

It's a better view from the lies

Two steps behind before I've begun

Time stops to tell me all I could have done

So, how long 'til the world will be completed?

How many times will history repeat it?

How long will it take, how long, how long?

I want to go, will you show me the way?

I'd rather be wrong than be deceived

To thinking that I have believe

That I can stand to be here on my own

There's too many questions that we won't ask

In hopes that this too will pass

But how far down do we have to go before we know it?

So, how long 'til the world will be completed?

How many times will history repeat it?

How long will it take, how long, how long?

I want to go, will you show me the way?

So, how long 'til the world will be completed?

How many times will history repeat it?

How long will it take, how long, how long?

I want to go, will you show me the way?

How long, how long, how long will it take, how long?

How long, how long?

I want to go, will you show me the way?

How long, how long, how long will it take?

So, how long 'til the world will be completed?

How many times will history repeat it?

How long will it take, how long, how long?

I want to go, will you show me the way?

Whats Wrong With That

Hanging By A Moment lyrics - Lifehouse

Desperate for changing, starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started, I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held on to

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking, completely incomplete

I'll take your invitation, you take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held on to

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

And I don't know what I'm diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose, there's nothing else to find

There's nothing in the world that can change my mind

There is nothing else

Desperate for changing, starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started, I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held on to

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

And I don't know what I'm diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment (Here with you)

Hanging by a moment (Here with you)

Hanging by a moment here with you

Sick Cycle Carousel lyrics - Lifehouse

If shame had a face, I think it would kind of look like mine

If it had a home, would it be my eyes?

Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this?

Well, here we go now, one more time

I tried to climb your steps, I tried to chase you down

I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground

I tried to earn my way, I tried to tame this mind

You better believe that I tried to beat this

So when will this end? It goes on and on

Over and over and over again

Keep spinning around, I know that it won't stop

Until I step down from this for good

I never thought I'd end up here

Never thought I'd be standing where I am

I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this

I guess I was wrong now, one more time

I tried to climb your steps, I tried to chase you down

I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground

I tried to earn my way, I tried to tame this mind

You better believe that I tried to beat this

So when will this end? It goes on and on

Over and over and over again

Keep spinning around, I know that it won't stop

Until I step down from this

Sick cycle carousel

This is a sick cycle, yeah

Sick cycle carousel

This is a sick cycle, yeah, ah

So when will this end? It goes on and on

Over and over and over again

Keep spinning around, I know that it won't stop

Until I step down from this for good

So when will this end? It goes on and on

Over and over and over again

Keep spinning around, I know that it won't stop

Until I step down from this for good

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

Somebody Else's Song lyrics - Lifehouse

Can't change this feeling

I'm way out of touch

Can't change this meaning

It means too much

Never been so lonely

Never felt so good

I can't be the only one

Misunderstood

As I remind myself of somebody else

I'm feeling like I'm chasing

Like I'm facing myself alone

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own

Can you see me up here?

Would you bring me back down?

'Cause I've been living to see my fears

As they fall to the ground

'Cause I remind myself of somebody else

I'm feeling like I'm chasing

Like I'm facing myself alone

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own

Am I hiding behind my doubts?

Are they hiding behind me?

I'm closer to finding out

It doesn't mean anything

I remind myself of somebody else, I'm

I'm feeling like I'm chasing

Like I'm facing myself alone

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own

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

Only One lyrics - Lifehouse

She's got a pretty smile

It covers up the poison that she hides

She walks around in circles in my head

Waiting for a chance to break me chance to take me down

Now I see the burden you gave me

Is too much to carry too much to bury inside

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes

I guess you're the only one left standing

When everything else goes down

You're still the only one

Yeah you're still the only one

It's all shallow and all so appealing now

I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning anyway

In a sea of sarcastic faces familiar places

Everything looks quite the same here

It's all confusingly amusing

Bitter and tainted the picture you painted to me

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes

I guess you're the only one left standing

When everything else goes down

You're still the only one

Who hasn't changed faces

I guess you're the only one left standing

When everything else goes down

Just 'cause it's all in your head

Doesn't mean it has to be in mine

Don't believe what you said

Still can't get it out of my mind

I've tried to find myself in approval

I've already been there already done that

It got me nowhere it brought me nothing

But a good place to hide and no one to confide in now

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes

I guess you're the only one that will never change faces

I guess you're the only one

Simon lyrics - Lifehouse

Catch your breath, hit the wall

Scream out loud as you start to crawl

Back in your cage, the only place

Where they will leave you alone

Because the weak will seek the weaker 'til they've broken them

Could you get it back again? Would it be the same?

Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense

Left you with no defense

They tore it down

And I have felt the same

As you, I've felt the same

Locked inside the only place

Where you feel sheltered, where you feel safe

You lost yourself in your search to find

Something else to hide behind

Because the fearful always preyed upon your confidence

Did they see the consequence

When they pushed you around?

The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones

Breaking them 'til they've become

Just another crown

And I have felt the same

As you, I've felt the same

Refuse to feel anything at all

Refuse to slip, refuse to fall

You can't be weak, you can't stand still

You watch your back because no one will

You don't know why they had to go this far

Traded your worth for these scars

For your only company

And don't believe the lies that they have told to you

Not one word was true

You're alright, you're alright, you're alright

And I have felt the same

As you, I've felt the same

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

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

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

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

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

Quasimodo lyrics - Lifehouse

You can be right

And I'll be real

Honesty won't be a pain

That you will have to feel

'Cause I don't need your approval

To find my worth

I'm trapped inside of my own mind

Afraid to open my eyes 'cause of what I'd find and I

Don't wanna live like this anymore

There goes my pain

There goes my chains

Did you see them falling

Because this feeling

That has no meaning

There goes the world

Off of my shoulders

There goes the world

Off of my back

There it goes

Does it scare you that I can

Be something different than you

Would it make you feel

More comfortable if I wasn't

Well you can't control me

And you can't take away from me who I am

There goes my pain

There goes my chains

Did you see them falling

Because this feeling

That has no meaning

There goes the world

Off of my shoulders

There goes the world

Off of my back

You can't change me

You can't break me

There goes the world

Off of my shoulders

There goes the world

Off of my back

Have you ever felt

Like your only comfort was your cage

You're not alone

I've felt the same as you

Have you ever felt like your secrets give you away

You're not alone

I've been there too

'Cause everyone is looking

And everyone is laughing

But I think everyone feels the same

Everybody wants to feel okay

Everybody wants to

Everybody wants to feel

There goes my pain

There goes my chains

Did you see them falling

Because this feeling

That has no meaning

There goes the world

Off of my shoulders

There goes the world

Off of my back

'Cause I don't want it

I don't want it

You can't change me

You can't break me

There goes the world

Off of my shoulders

There goes the world

Off of my back

There it goes

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...

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...

Everything lyrics - Lifehouse

Find me here

And 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're 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?

Yeah

You calm the storms

And you give me rest

You hold me in your hands

You won't let me fall

You still 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?

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?

Because 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

Everything, 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?

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

Fairytales Sandcastles lyrics - Lifehouse

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 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

And 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

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 tails

And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls

With smiles on their faces

He's built a pretty cage

His shows 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

And now it's a long way down

On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave

Of what he thought was still alive

On and on and on he goes

Dancing in mansions made of twigs

And castles made of sand

On and on and on and on he goes on and on

'Cause he lives inside

Of fairy tails and castles now

And there's room inside

For false expectations and illusions

'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown

And his throne of ice is melting

He climbed his ladder

There was nothing there

And 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

On and on and on he goes

Dancing in mansions made of twigs

And castles made of sand

On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave

Of what he thought was still alive

On and on and on he goes

Dancing in mansions made of twigs

And castles made of sand

On and on and on and on he goes on and on

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

EP: Diff's Lucky Day (1999) - Lifehouse (as Blyss)

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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...

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

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

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

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

Everybody Is Someone lyrics - Lifehouse

[from "Wicker Park" soundtrack]

Stumbling I fall away it's hard to make a change
Easy to be who you are when no one knows your name
Walking past the lonely walls with eyes as cold as stone
Climb inside the emptiness it's safe when you're alone

Don't be alarmed
Don't be afraid of what you are
Just look around
Everybody is someone
Everybody is someone

All this time you lived alone without a memory
Built your life upon the ground that sinks beneath your feet
Step outside the misery for once you feel alive
Second chances only come around once in a life

Don't be alarmed
Don't be afraid of what you are
Just turn around
Everybody is someone
Everybody is someone

Don't be alarmed
Don't be afraid of what you are
Just turn around
Everybody is someone
Everybody is someone

Don't be alarmed
Don't be afraid of what you are
Just look around
Everybody is someone
Everybody is someone
