I live in a circle
Runnin around and around and around and around
Walk over the wire
Pullin me down and me down and me down
Sink under the water
Fadin away and away and away
Crash into the wall if
Only you stayed if you stayed if you stayed if you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
If only you stayed
Hey Hey Hey

Chorus
It coulda been the colour of a carinval
It coulda been the light in the dark
It coulda been the blaze of glory
That keeps us all from falling apart
It coulda been better
It coulda been bigger
Everything that I need
It coulda been me

I stand in the corner
Callin your name and your name and your name and your name
Try tellin myself
I was never to blame and to blame and to blame and to blame
Fall down to my knees
I'm slippin away and away and away and away
Break under the strain if
Only you stayed and you stayed and you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
If only you stayed
Hey Hey Hey

Chorus

It coulda been me, it coulda been me, it coulda been me

Chorus

It coulda been me, it coulda been me, hey hey hey, it shoulda been me, hey hey
hey

I'm a believer
I paid for my sin
Stand over the water
Watch my ship come in
I was blind but now I see
It was right there in front of me
I was the reason
For the perfect mess
I covered up my failure and called it happiness
I been untrue
I been unkind
Then you come in like the lightnin' from the sky
Pickin' up the pieces in the middle of the night
I cried oh baby
I'm broken
Theres a price youre gonna pay
You jumped in the fire, you saved me any way

Chorus
Open up the up the sky
All gather around
Praise the lord and
Take a look at what i found
(I got a) love thats as big as raging storm
I got walls coming down that I need no more
I got a sign on the door that says
Lonely don't live here anymore

There was a moment i prayed for my soul
(I was) Crawlin' and hiding in a
Deep dark hole
I cried in the morning
I cried in the night
I was a drifter
Caught in the wind
Prepared to lose but I was
Tryin to win and I was breakin all the records on givin in
Then you came in like the lightnin from the sky
Picking up the pieces in the middle of the night
I cried oh baby I'm broken
Theres a price you're gonna pay
You jumped in the fire, you saved me any way

Chorus

Then you came round while I was walkin on the wire
Stood there underneath me
And you saved me from the fire
And God might be the king
In the land of the free
But you're the blessed saviour
You're the one I need

Chorus

I will try to break
Every habit that holds me
I will try to make everyone happy again
I will try to take anything you can throw at me
I will let the rain come in
I will try to face everything that scares me
I will try to trace
Everywhere that I've been
I will try to wait for all of the hearts to be mended
I will let the rain come in

Chorus
And if I try too hard
Or maybe not hard enough
I'll be the one who says
Its all gonna be OK
And if it all falls down well its never gonna really matter
Because the rain washes everything away

I will try to breathe
Deeper than all of the oceans
I will try to see
The battle instead of the win
I will try to leave
All that I've wasted behind me
I will let the rain come in

Chorus

La da da da da...

Chorus x 2

Yeah the rain washes everything away, la da da da da

You call me baby with that look in your eye
A poster child for the mojo fly
You click your fingers and they fall at your feet
Well I'm drivin' home but it ain't your street
I wont be cryin' in the middle of the night
No countin' sheep and the bugs wont bite
Fresh as a daisy when I wake up in the morn
It wasn't yesterday that I was born

Chorus
Light up a candle and let it burn out
You say forever and I say for now
It's not a wheelin' and dealin'
Its just feelin you out
And baby I don't need you around

Well you say your loves as deep as a bottomless hole
Your promise you'll keep until your blood runs cold
You'll tell me I'm the only one in your world
But I know you say that to all the girls

Chorus x 2
No baby I don't need you around, no baby I don't need you around

with Bernard Fanning

There's a fire on the mountain
There's a fire in my soul
There's a sign on the highway
It's a hard road

There's a break in a heart
There's a break in a bone
There's a ghost in the dark
It's a hard road

There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save my soul
It's a hard road

There's a heavy jacket
There's a heavy load
There's a weight on my shoulders
It's a hard road

There's a howl at the backdoor
There's a howl in the cold
There's a broken bottle
It's a hard road

There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save my soul
It's a hard road

There's a strange feeling coming over me
Hollow eyes misery
There's someone at the backdoor
There's someone in the cold
God save my soul
It's a hard road

One was the light in a candle
Two was the colour of the rain
Three was a fall in deeper
Four was a cry and shame
Five was a shiver in the winter
Six was a losing card
Seven was the hope I would never fall too hard

One was a breath under water
Two was a crash and burn
Three was a ghost of the lover
Four was a lot to learn
Five was the livin' in a cradle
Six was a mercy cry
Seven was the hope you would never say goodbye

Chorus
You win
I lose
You leave with nothin' to prove
You rise, I fall
I leave with nothing
Nothing at all

One was a faith in a sorrow
Two was a waste of a dream
Three was a life in a bottle
Four was the last to believe
Five was a break in the weather
Six was back to the start
Seven was the hope it would never go this far

Chorus

I was your waste time
You were my angel wing
I was your falling star
You were my everything

Chorus x 2

Nothing at all, Nothing at all
Nothing at all, Nothing at all

Your mother don't cry
Your daddy don't go
The spies don't let the government know
The water don't rise
Living on the railroad
Your brother don't lie
Your lover don't cheat
The ground wont fall
From under your feet and the wind don't blow
Livin on the railroad

Living on the railroad, living on the railroad

Your colour don't fade
Your sorrow don't show
The shadow don't follow wherever you go
The butter don't melt livin' on the railroad
Your cards don't lose
Your brakes don't fail
The rain comes down to cover your trail
But the wind don't blow living on the railroad

Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad

Thunder, lightening,
Stealing, fighting
Crashing, cryin, breakin', dyin',
Failing, fallin', lyin'
Greed
These are the things I never see

Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad.....

I got your love
I got your need
I got you wrapped around my finger like a glove
And i got you on your knees
Ya begging me darlin' please
I got your mind
I got your soul
I got you held up like a prisioner cryin' blind
But I got you in control
Baby lets rock and roll

Chorus
You better hide you conscience under the bed
You aint gonna get me outa your head
You think slipped through the cracks somehow
But I got you now

I got your heart
I got your blood
I got you boilin' up like water from the start
It's risin' like a flood
You're sticken to me like mud

I got your pain
I got your ache
I got you holdin' on with both hands to the chain
Like something's about to break
Baby how much can you take

Chorus

I got your love
I got your need
I got your mind
I got your soul
I got your heart
I got your blood
I got your pain
I got your ache

Chorus

I got you now, I got you now, I got you now....

It's not that I don't care
I know its here somewhere
But its more than I can bare to take
I lie awake at night
I never win the fight
Its an addiction I cant shake
Its overbearing me
Growing, flowing, showing

Chorus
I surrender, forever
I fold, I played the losing card
I'm under
Its over
I give it up its all too hard

It's not I'm unsure
I've heard it all before
But I cant help wanting more to keep
You just don't understand
The way I really am
Its all I ever can be
But underneath it all
I'm breaking, waking, shaking

Chorus

And now I face it all
I'm falling, crawling, stalling

Chorus x 2

Break break away from everything
Cut cut it up and start again
Know know there's nothin' in between
But anyway
How much did it ever really mean

I I was the keeper of the score
Blind blind and broken on the floor
You You were the solider in this war
But anyway
Was it it me that you were really looking for

Chorus
I am ashes
I am wreckage
I am careless
I am breaking
You are fearless
You're the saviour
We are dangerous
No more

Made made a mess of everything
Prayed prayed that it would never end
I I'm not angry bout a thing
But anyway
How much longer can you keep it in

Show show a side I'd never seen
Go go somewhere you're never been
Reach reach for something in between
But anyway
How much did it ever really mean

Chorus

After all that might have been
After all that could have been
After all that should have been
I'm falling in

Chorus

No more, no more, no more

You make the thunder start (a) rollin
You make the lightening cover the sky
You make the storm cloud hover over the hills
You make the water start rising high
You make the town folk run for cover
You make the animals run and hide
You make the light go dim like its suffering
You make the rain come outta the sky
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry like a bird with a broken wing
But ya make me sing, ya make me sing

Chorus
Ya make me sing like a lone wolf howling
Ya make me sing like an angel fly
Make me sing like a church bell ringing to let you in
Oh you make me sing

You make the sun creep over the mountain
You make the darkness swallow the sky
You make the leaves turn brown in the spring time
You make the willow tree willin' to cry
You make the wind blow like a hurricane
You make the fire burn out of control
You make the water come in and the ship sink
You make the river too shallow to flow
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry
Like a bird with a broken wing but ya make me sing
Ya make me sing

Chorus

oh oh oh I wanna shout it out
I wanna scream about
I want the whole world to hear
I got the earth shattering under my feet
And you ringin' in my ear

You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry like a bird with a broken wing
But ya make me sing, ya make me sing

Chorus x 2

Sink or you can swim
But you can't change it now your fallin' in
So drift or you can fly
Just don't waste it all on
Reasons why, you break when you can mend
It's not that easy turnin' round again
I know it's hard to hear
But after all that's said and done it will disappear

Chorus
Don't look so sad
It's not that bad you know
I won't let go no
Don't look so sad, you know to go down easy is the hardest way to go

Laugh or you can cry
But know a million tears will always dry (so)
Face what you can't hide
You know it's waiting on the other side
So crash, and you can burn
You know there's always something there to learn
In time it goes away
But after all that's said and done it'll be ok

Chorus

It's all the same I know
When everything is sinking in
But, one day you'll wake to find it's
Best to leave it all behind
You're at the end so start again

Chorus

... It's the hardest way to go
