Альбом The Submarines

If you live in the city and you want it to burn
Because you think nobody could learn
The delicate demons and loneliest ways
Of a heart that's been broken

Say what you will
Love finds you even when you've given it up

One after another you've seen love affairs turn
From the glorious start to the crash and burn
But now that you've promised never again
It's exactly when you'll fall in


You've sworn off clubs and bars
Fridays with the girls
You say home's where you'll be
But soon your own sweet love
Who needs you will be lying in your arms


Say what you will
Love finds you even when you've given it up


Everybody deserves to be adored
Why would you settle for less when the world gives you more?

The hurt has you now but it'll soon make you strong
And your loveliness goes on and on

Say what you will
(Love a heart that's been broken)
Love finds you even when you've given it up

Say what you will
(You can say it again and again till the whole world knows about it)
Love finds you even when you've given it up

I had a ring of thorns
Around my heart
But you made your way in
Yes you broke it apart

I cried Love, Love
And the skies opened up
I cried Love, Love
And the skies opened up

We tore the thicket down vine by vine
By naming each pain that had brought it to life
And there in the clearing, Two hearts undeceiving
No prickers, No priors to upset our meting

Only Love, Love
And the skies opened up
I cried Love, Love
And the skies opened up

Love, Love
And the skies opened up
I cried Love, Love
And the skies opened up

Rainy Summer days, near and far away
I tried to get through on my own
Loved and giving back, something we always had
The two of us we just didn't know

I had a ring of thorns
Around my heart
But you made your way in
Yes you broke it apart

Love, Love
And the skies opened up
I cried Love, Love
And the skies opened up

Love, Love
And the skies opened up
I cried Love, Love
And the skies opened up

Here I am with all the pleasures of the first world
Laid out before me who am I to break down?

Everyday I wake up,
I choose love
I choose light
And I try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Oh my baby don't be so distressed
We're done with politesse
It's time to be so brutally honest about
The way we know we long for something fine
When we pine for higher ceilings
And bourgeois happy feelings

And here we are in the center of the first world
It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?

Everyday we wake up
We choose love
We choose light
And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Plastic bottles
Imported water
Cars we drive wherever we want to
Clothes we buy it's sweatshop labor
Drugs from corporate enablers
We're not living the good life
Unless we're fighting the good fight
You and Me just trying to get it right

In the center of the first world
It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?

Everyday we wake up
We choose love
We choose light
And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Love can free us from all excess
From our deepest debts
Cause when our hearts are full we need much less

Yea I know we long for something fine
When we pine for higher ceilings
And bourgeois happy feelings

But Here we are in the center of the first world
It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?

Here we are in the center of the first world
It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?

Everyday we wake up
We choose love
We choose light
And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Everyday we wake up
We choose love
We choose light
And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Something's wrong when you regret
Things that haven't happened yet
But it's a glorious day when morning comes
Without that feeling of alarm

So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake and be with me a while
And smile

You couldn't sleep for the awful fright
That kept you up in bed last night
While curious shapes shift in the dark
They vanish with the sunlight spark

So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while
And smile

So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while

So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while
And smile

I'm missing out
I've been completely shut down
And while awake submerged
I flow through this feeling

Like chairmen Mao's
Wake up song
The words from you ring on and on
I want to just hold you

I cant explain
This feeling treats me so strange
But where are you these days?
I need you near me

We're Moments away, Moments away
From making up again hey hey
Moments away
Just seconds too late

Seconds away, Seconds away
We're leaving the house just for the day
Seconds away, Seconds away
All this just to go out for the day

I'm missing out
I've been completely shut down
When we're at home
It seems your nowhere near me

We try our best
It's our big test
Your looking east
And I'm lost out west
Cant you hear me?

We're Moments away, Moments away
Lets burn the house and run away
Moments away
Just seconds too late

Seconds away, Seconds away
We're leaving the house just for the day
Seconds away, Seconds away
All this just to go out for the day

Moments away, Moments away
We're leaving the house just for the day
Moments away, Moments away
I wouldn't have it any other way

Heavy is the mind that can't be told
When its time to let it go

Heavy is the heart filled so full with sorrow

Worry cant help a single thing but
When we're out of our heads
At least we're out in the open

The warning signs of a troubled mind
It's all the things we can't see and can't hide

But when you kiss me in ways I've forgotten,
Love is a swimming pool with no bottom
We've got to hold on the water is rising

And all we ever want is to be loved
Whether sun or stars above
All our trouble all our toil
Is towards no greater earthly goal

So never mind what logic says I say
Logic's a guy who outta empty his pockets
All we want is an open mind you know the
Kind you can earn and can't buy

And when you kiss me in ways I've forgotten,
Love is a swimming pool with no bottom
We've got to hold on the water is rising

Everyone spends a little time
Fighting the drift back out to the deep end
When I asked you to throw me a line
That's when you pulled me out by the heart strings

We thought the weight of the world would have us sinking like a stone
If we should ever lose our hold
But we rise to the surface the moment that we know
There's nothing to fear down below

When you kiss me in ways I've forgotten,
Love is a swimming pool with no bottom
We've got to hold on the water is rising

When you kiss me in ways I've forgotten,
Love is a swimming pool with no bottom
We've got to hold on the water is rising

There is a sign among the remnants
Of all our words, best left unsaid
And when the truth, flies in our direction
Do we work it through or lose our heads?

Maybe, maybe, maybe
We're strong
But maybe, maybe, maybe
We're wrong

For such a long time now
We're doing battle with our
Own familiar inhibitions,
Far away from home
Our trusty compass fails to
Find this strange and new position
Can we leave this struggle behind?

Maybe, maybe, maybe
We're strong
But maybe, maybe, maybe
We're wrong

Maybe, maybe, maybe
We're strong
But maybe, maybe, maybe
We're wrong

One thing is sure - I'll always love you
And if you should go I will pretend
That i never needed, you or anybody
Never wanted to call us just friends

So maybe, maybe, maybe
We're strong
But maybe, maybe, maybe
We're wrong

Maybe, maybe, maybe
We're strong
But maybe, maybe, maybe
We're wrong

You're going away
And I'm feeling the same
Thing day after day
I can't let it go

Everyone in this room
They've got troubles too
And secret stories and
Lies that we never knew

Xavia...who will save us?
Your smile's on fire
And still my heart
Won't let you down...the sound

I don't wanna be
Your favorite enemy
Not when I can be loving you, alright
Why can't it be?
No two people feel
The same way at the same time

Xavia...who will save us?
Your smile's on fire
And still my heart
Won't let you down

Everyone in this room
They've got troubles too
Secret stories and
Lies that we never knew

You're going away (I don't wanna be)
And I'm feeling the same (your favorite enemy)
Thing day after day (I don't wanna be)
I can't let it go (your favorite enemy)

Xavia...who will save us?
Your smile's on fire
And still my heart
Won't let you down

Xavia...who will save us?
Your smile's on fire
And still my heart
Won't let you down...the sound

One heart to break, one heart
One heart to break, one heart
One heart to break, my heart
One heart to break, my heart

In the beginning,we all start as a tiny seed,
then a tender sprout
With water, light and the hope of love,
We grow up towards the skies above

The streets of our towns like garden rows
That reach so high in the cities glowed
With climbing vines and tendrils strong
The sun comes up and the sun goes down

We're gonna take this town back
We're gonna take this town back

Wandering through starry skies and when tomorrow's day arrives
I'll be a morning closer to the brightest hour here with you

One step closer, getting brighter
One step closer, getting brighter

Wandering through starry skies
and when tomorrow's day arrives
I'll be a morning closer to the brightest hour here with you
