Make A Fuss – Lyrics

SJ — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 03:18:05 +0000

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you
i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

well i’ll be here to slow your mind at the end of your busy days
just leave it to me and my wicked ways
through all the storms that threaten to block your sunshine’s rays
i’ll keep you warm, i’ll set your heart ablaze

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

we’ll sail the world, we’ll climb he peaks, see all the magic views
it’s the least i could do
then choose your stars and i’ll pluck them down and present them all to you
you can have the moon too

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you
i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

we’ll wake to the softest sunshine slowly warming up the room
we can stay in bed ’til noon
and then i’ll be here to slow your mind at the end of your busy days
just leave it to me and my wicked ways

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you
i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

River, Country, Girl – Lyrics

SJ — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:49:46 +0000

lay me down by the river
so i can hear my voice with hers
lay me down under the stars
and everything the night prefers

lay me down in the country
a campfire to warm my dreams
lay me down in the meadow
where things are just what they seem

lay me down by the girl
you’ll know her by the look in my eyes
lay us down in the sunshine
to rest as burn across the sky

lay me, lay me down
lay me, lay me down
lay me, lay me down

Polar Bear Suit – Lyrics

SJ — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:40:34 +0000

riding your bike in the snow in your polar bear suit
i tumbled down the hill that day, i was in hot pursuit
noses frozen, eyelashes iced, cheeks red like wine
our hearts pounding, our palms in sweat with heat of the warmest kind
in the dark we told our secrets and healed wounds from lovers past
morning came and light filled the room, hope swelling fast

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world

there were wars to protest, rallies to march, spring was in the air
no girl looked as lovely with revolution in her hair
we named unborn babies and planned our adventures, laughed in the sun
we knew the stories of famous lovers and we wouldn’t be outdone
well you pinned me down, your face in my sky, how did we not meet before
we traced the steps of how we got here, to fate we couldn’t ignore

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world

maybe the wars never ended, the world got to warm, but our faces were in the breeze
the kids moved out and our hands still touched with ease
but we’ll build a treehouse and sell all our things, give away all our loot
but i’ll always have someplace to hang your polar bear suit

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save my world

Like A Madman – Lyrics

SJ — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:30:34 +0000

none of the colours in my eyes
can explain what i see in you
i thought i was doomed to my abyss
when your smile came to my rescue

what do you want, what do you need
are you asking the sky right now
maybe you’ll find that some of it
the gods on me endowed

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
oh, to be your man

knocked down, picked up, seeing you
now there’s thunder in my soul
i feel like i was a starving man
with a never empty bowl

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
oh, to be your man

it was never here before, it might not come again
i wanna be calm, i wanna be cool, but how can i maintain, when

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
oh, to be your man

Lyrics: Supposed To Be

SJ — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:36:38 +0000

you say you’re gone, not coming back, tell me that on any other day
and i’d try to keep you
but not this day, there’s finally light, you can see it in my walk
it’s long overdue

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky
you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

i will admit, i miss the dreams, the shadows of love
parading down my street
i held on too long, my knuckles locked up, but even stars eventually lose their heat

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky
you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

babies unborn, and smiles not seen, echoes of laughter unheard
you had your way
i’d have been there, to never let go, it was supposed to be
’til the end of days

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

i’ve got it under control
i wrestled back my soul

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for love to fall from the sky

To Let You Go – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:20:20 +0000

i walked outside there was nowhere to repent
been gone too long with darkest intent
i don’t know how
i don’t know how

maybe here i will make my last stand
i’m taken hostage there are no demands
i don’t know how
i don’t know how

it wasn’t peace just a ceasefire
we’re burning love down, down to desire
i don’t know how
i don’t know how

to let you go

Mercy – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:17:55 +0000

if you disappeared in an endless night
mercy
but you’ll signal again just to spite
mercy

end this hope once and for all
let me forget how to crawl
blindfolded against the wall
mercy

have mercy, have mercy, on me
have mercy, have mercy, on me
have mercy, have mercy, on me
have mercy, have mercy, on me

break all the mirrors
mercy
don’t come any nearer
mercy

there have been so many names
give up on trying to blame
take the pictures from the frames
mercy

have mercy, have mercy, on me
have mercy, have mercy, on me
have mercy, have mercy, on me
have mercy, have mercy, on me

Part Of Me – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:15:08 +0000

thank you for not sitting too near
how can something so dark make it all so clear
they’re all waiting for you
go on they’re waiting for you

part of me knows it’s wrong
maybe it’s just wrong for part of me
part of me knows it’s wrong
maybe it’s just wrong for part of me

when your north wind blows down again
will i give up this foolish campaign
i was waiting for you
did you know i was waiting for you

part of me knows it’s wrong
maybe it’s just wrong for part of me
part of me knows it’s wrong
maybe it’s just wrong for part of me

Sky Lights Up – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:12:46 +0000

a threat, liberation, settling a score
the lies you don’t believe anymore
what happened to your esprit de corps
this is the war to start a hundred more

one more hill, one more home
one more kill and time to atone
the sky lights up and the city prays
freedom is won this way

no cameras on you when you return
can’t cause too much concern
but you’re here now a simple job to do
it’ll never end, but you’ll see it through

one more hill, one more home
one more kill and time to atone
the sky lights up and the city prays
freedom is won this way

and the bones in the street must be the freest of all
no fear of you behind crumbled walls
no higher love to pursue
sometimes you wish it was you

one more hill, one more home
one more kill and time to atone
the sky lights up and the city prays
freedom is won this way

How – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:08:33 +0000

how did i end up here
how did i end up here

these are not my arms, this is not my blood, these are not my bones
how did i end up here
this is not my cross, these are not my fears, these are not my tears
how did i end up here

how did i end up here
how did i end up here

this is not my pain, this is not my bed, this is not my life
this is not my rage, this is not my hate, this is not my hurt
how did i end up here

but this is my soul, and this is my spirit, and this is my hope
that’s how i’ll leave here
this is my faith, this is my courage, this is my strength
that’s how i’ll leave here

I Know – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:05:40 +0000

cry wolf, cry all night
with darkened dreams that you set alight
i know, i know

burrow down deep inside
the cold dirt laughed but at least you tried
i know, i know
i know, i know

i know how you’ll get free
carried on my back, on my back
i know how you’ll get free
dancing on my back, on my back

dirty hands, i planted seeds
you sang to weeds, ate the hand that feeds you
i know, i know

story time, it was all untrue
a lie for you, and one for me too
i know, i know
i know, i know

i know how you’ll get free
carried on my back, on my back
i know how you’ll get free
dancing on my back, on my back

cry wolf, cry all night
with darkened dreams that you set alight
i know, i know
i know

Gods Among Men – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:02:02 +0000

i miss you before you’ve gone
erasing these images so poorly drawn
waiting to hear about somebody’s happy tomorrow
bravely wielding hope that i borrow

if i could’ve made these ropes disappear
i would have reached out and pulled you here
if i’d latched on, dug in, didn’t let go
i wouldn’t miss you so

we were gods among men, all over again, now it’s time to go
we were gods among men, all over again, but now it’s time to go
we were gods among men, how could we begin, we should’ve known
we were gods among men, how could we begin, we should’ve known

i could wait for you at the edge of the wrong ocean
willing the world to break the laws of motion
the sky as my witness, the sun hanging high
did i really have to try

Victory Tree – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:00:34 +0000

shall we try this again
you whisper in the dark
there’s fear when you touch my face
that you haven’t left your mark

you are free you are free you are free
letting go from the top of your victory tree
you are free, you had your way
sailing across your blackened sea

the same pulse that breaks your bones
rushes your hand to throw stones
you sacrificed the whitest lamb
to hear its heavenly tones

you are free you are free you are free
letting go from the top of your victory tree
you are free, you had your way
sailing across your blackened sea

shall we try this again
again and again
shall we try this all over again
again and again and again

you are free you are free you are free
letting go from the top of your victory tree
you are free, you had your way
sailing across your blackened sea

Hear Me Now – Lyrics

SJ — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:38:52 +0000

if i just lay down on the floor
and hope i can’t fall any more
i look up in this dark room
it’s feeling like an ancient tomb

i’m not apollo, not some pretty greek god
not that new town in the desert with the old west facade
i’m real, i’m here
you might have to ask for something when i should just volunteer

but know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow
know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow

you might turn and walk away
i might curse up something mean
you can wash my mouth with bitter soap
and i’ll try to keep it clean

they never engraved us on some far-flung satellite
but we can launch and leave this far behind, let the sun re-ignite

i’m not apollo, not some pretty greek god
not that new town in the desert with the old west facade
i’m real, i’m here
you might have to ask for something when i should just volunteer

but know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow
know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow
