Texty z alba Knock On The Sky
Mine All Mine
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hoah, ooh
Sun kisses the windowsill
And I am still on my second cup of pity me
Yeah, it's been a long night chasing ghosts
But at the most, it's been a rude awakening
That all too late I finally see (I finally see), I see
That it's -
My loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all, mine (mine)
Hoah, and it's my bad, my broken
All my should haves left unspoken
Mine all, mine all, mine
Hoah hoah hoah yeah
I drove you to the edge of the map
And after that , I pushed you off just to watch you
fall
You never were the bounce back kind
But boy, this time you've proven me wrong after all
Now I'm the one who's gonna crawl
Cause it's -
My loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all, mine (mine)
Hoah, and it's my bad, my broken
All my should haves left unspoken
Mine all, mine all, mine
Always thought I'd get to sorry
But the chance has come and gone
So if it finds its way back in
I'll hold on, hold on, hold on
My loss ( that's my loss)
My lonely (my lonely)
My mistake (my mistake)
Mine only
Mine all, mine all
Mine all, mine all
Mine all, mine
It's mine all mine
It's mine all mine
Yeah it's mine all mine
All mine, all mine
All mine, all mine

I'm Lit
Ooh hmmmm
Do you know I'm thinking you
Can you feel me drinking you
Is any of this sinking through
Neatly, so completely bent
By this brillaint accident
Couldn't seem to circumvent
Your dizzy exhilaration
Clouding my concentration
I'm lit, don't you get it yet
See this circus in my head
I'm tangled in the net
Baby this is it
I'm lit, nothing left to do
But another shot of you
I can't stop this spinning room
Baby this is it, I'm lit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's getting hard to breathe in here
Maybe I should disappear
Find another atmosphere
Or maybe I should just come clean
Take it to a new extreme
Fashionably make a scene
But there is no need to panic
I'm just a harmless romantic
I'm lit, don't you get it yet
See this circus in my head
I'm tangled in the net
Baby this is it
I'm lit, nothing left to do
But another shot of you
I can't stop this spinning room
Baby this is it, I'm lit
Yeah yeah yeah
Someone get the dog and hitch the truck
And drag me from this table
Before they come and lock me up
Declaring me
Declaring me unstable
I'm lit, don't you get it yet
See this circus in my head
I'm tangled in the net
Baby this is it
I'm lit, nothing left to do
But another shot of you
I can't stop this spinning room
Baby this is it, I'm lit
I'm lit, why don't you get it yet
See the circus in my head
I'm tangled in the net
Baby this is it
I'm lit, nothing left to do
But another shot of you
I can't stop this spinning room
Baby this is it, I'm lit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah I'm lit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Man Goin' Down
La di la di la di da
If you could hear these four walls talking
If you could hear my heart just walking
Round and round this dollhouse
Trying to make it real
If you could see this sunrise setting
The disconnection I'm regretting
Now and then was then
But now is how I feel
My handwritten fears and drops of rage
(Trying to dry these drops of rage)
Require a steady hand
To turn the page
It was easy falling in love
It was beautiful on the way up
But I need a man goin' down
I need a man goin' down
You were a dreamer, you were a kid
Flying too high is what we did
Now I need a man goin' down
Can you be my man goin' down (down down)
Where's the shiver, where's the shamless craving
We used to have but now I'm waiting here
For you to come to be
And show me, know me
Hovering above this quaking ground
(Don't wanna break this quaking ground)
Yeah, I've found the purest words that I've ever
That I've ever found
(Believe me, believe me)
It was easy falling in love
It was beautiful on the way up
But I need a man goin' down
I need a man goin' down
You were a dreamer, you were a kid
Flying too high is what we did
Now I need a man goin' down
Can you be my man goin' down
Tell me that you'll love me still
Tell me when I won't you will
Be a gentle covering
When the rain turns to rust
Tell me you'll be twice as strong
When I feel I don't belong
And take me, take me home
Yeah, it was easy falling in love
It was beautiful on the way up
But I need a man goin' down
I need a man goin' down
You were a dreamer, you were a kid
And flying too high is what we did
Now I need a man goin' down
Can you be my man goin' down
Yeah, I need a man
Can you be my man
'Cause I need my man
Are you that man
(Fade)
Get Over Yourself
Spoken:
Tone deaf, tone deaf
Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh,
Da da da da da da
You say you're gun shy
I say you're spineless
You think you're pensive
I think you're mindless
Such a busy little drone
That your heart beats in monotones
So loud you can't hear me
Repetition's what you need
Get out of my air, get off my cloud
Get out of my hair, get off of my couch
Get off of my lips, get out of my light
Let me give you a tip, get out of my sight
Get off of your knees, get out of my face
Get out of my sleep, get out of my space
How long do I have to show and tell, scream and yell
Get over yourself
Ahh-ahh, da da da da da da da da
You say you're complicated
I say too dramatic
You think I underrate you
I think I've finally had it
With you never having time
'Cause half the time you spend
Designing brilliant tragedies
And it's becoming your disease, oh
Get out of my air, get off my cloud
Get out of my hair, get off of my couch
Get off of my lips, get out of my light
Let me give you a tip, get out of my sight
Get off of your knees, get out of my face
Get out of my sleep, get out of my space
How long do I have to show and tell, scream and yell
Get over yourself
Won't let you unnerve me
(You try to sting me like a pearl)
Won't let you deserve me
(And toss me from your tilt-o-whirl)
And even if I kiss the dirt you're gonna see
How I don't hurt
And I don't hurt
I don't hurt
Get out of my air, get off my cloud
Get out of my hair, get off of my couch
Get off of my lips, get out of my light
Um, let me give you a tip, get out of my sight
Get off of your knees, get out of my face
Get out of my sleep, get out of my space
How long do I have to show and tell, scream and yell
Get over yourself
Get out of my air, get off my cloud
Get out of my hair, get off of my couch
Get off of my lips, get out of my light
Get over yourself, get out of my sight
Get off of your knees, get out of my face
Get out of my sleep, get out of my space
How long do I have to show and tell, scream and yell
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
La la la la la la la la la la...

Rush
To be the first in someone's life
To set the sun and raise the moon
In someone else's eyes
To see heaven just for a day
To hold a moment in your arms
And never let it slip away
To leap off a mountaintop
And feel the rush of love
(Feel the rush of love)
To taste that holy kiss
(Taste that holy kiss)
I could never get enough of this
(Never get, never get enough of this)
This rush, this rush
To touch the earth before you fall
To know that here and now with you
Remains forever after all
To hear the beauty in dissonance
To finally know that all our questions
Make perfect sense
To break the surface and breathe the air
And feel the rush of love
(Feel the rush of love)
To taste that holy kiss
(Taste that holy kiss)
I could never get enough of this
(Never get, never get enough of this)
This rush, this rush
This rush
(To be the first in someone's life)
Oh, this rush
(To set the sun in someone's eyes)
I could never get enough of
(To hold forever for a day)
Oh, this rush
(And never let it slip away)
This rush
To be the first
In someone's life
To set the sun and raise the moon
In someone else's eyes
I Wish I Were The Rain
You said I bled
You meant, I went
Overcomplicated, spent
Love's a series of broken sentences
Miscalculations, reconciliations
Seductive highs, destructive lows
Words that fly too fast
Feet that move too slow
Wish I could dance outside this windowpane
Oh, I wish I were the rain
'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Gingerly drip down a lover's face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can (feed) feed a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish, I wish)
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish, I wish)
I wish I were the rain (rain)
Oh yeah, I wish I were the rain
Don't speak, I'm weak
You cry, I lie
Overcompensation, why
Our arsenal of hope has been bled dry
Don't you wish that you could live outside the insane
(the insane)
Don't you ever wish for a free reign
'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Gingerly drip down a lover's face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can (feed) feed a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish, I wish)
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish, I wish)
I wish I were the rain (rain)
Oh yeah, I wish I were the rain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The blistering, twisted, hard-fisted blows
Have drowned the once fervent glow
I wish I were the rain
I can cry just like the rain, the rain
Yeah, I wish I were
I, I, I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Yeah -
Fall down, down down down
Hoah, oooooooh
Fall down, down down down rain
The rain
Repent
I've been walking through the fields for hours
Blind to the wild of the wildflowers
Hovering above my own life
Like an apparition, yeah-yeah-yeah
I've been living on bread and water
Somebody's wife, mother, somebody's daughter
Even in the face in the mirror
No recognition
I feel my soul slipping out of my skin
Come clean in a pool of fire, jump in
Everybody needs a revival
Get up off your knees and dance
It's fundamental to our survival
Get hell-bent on shaking that big white tent
Repent
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
All you need is a nagging hunger
Baby the bush is burning, I ain't getting any younger
Belly up and believe
Whatcha waiting for a revelation - yeah yeah
All it takes is a taste of the spirit
Like an addict gotta have it every time I get near it
Straight to the heart of the matter
No hesitation
No other high like liberation
Like liberation, yeah
Yeah cause everybody needs a revival
Get up off your knees and dance
It's fundamental to our survival
Get hell-bent on shaking that big white tent
Yeah, everybody needs a revival
Get up off your knees and dance
It's fundamental to our survival
Get hell-bent on shaking that big white tent
Repent, yeah yeah yeah
Have I really lost my soul
If so, I don't know where it went
And if there's no other way back home
I guess I might as well repent
(Man speaks)
Oh oh oh oh
Come on repent
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Come on repent
(Have I really lost)
You gotta repent
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey
(Have I really lost my soul)
Oh, oh, oh
(Yeah, uh-huh, oh yeah)
Yeah-yeah, yeah
(Have I really lost my soul)
Come on, come on
(Get hell-bent)
(Repent, repent, repent, repent)
(Fade)
Everybody Wants You
Man Speaks:
Everybody wants you
(Laughs)
Paper-faced, sterilized
Ravenous enough to swallow the lies
What on earth did we do
Before this town invented you
With life exaggerated
You must be so elated
How does it feel now that
Everybody wants you, everybody wants you
You're so ideal now that
Everybody wants you
Will you even cry, cry, cry
Falling from that high, high, high
Everybody wants you
Hey yeah oh
Through the gloss, looking smooth
Flash a smile that climatizes the room
But all the hype and hot air
Can't cover up what's under there
You're stylishly contagious
Until they flip the pages
How does it feel now that
Everybody wants you, everybody wants you
You're so ideal now that
Everybody wants you
Will you even cry, cry, cry
Falling from that high, high, high
Everybody wants you
What will you do when they don't, don't, don't want
you
And how (how) will you feel
When you have to get real
Is this picture all too vivid
'Cause you look a little livid
How does it feel now that
Everybody wants you, everybody wants you
You're so ideal now that
Everybody wants you
Will you even cry, cry, cry
Falling from that high, high, high
Everybody wants you
Yeah, yeah, yeah everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
Oh, everybody
Everybody wants you, wants you
Yeah yeah, everybody wants you (yeah)
Everybody wants you, wants you
Yeah yeah, everybody wants you
Now
If I could be thirteen again
To live with no regret
When I could still be president
And I could feel my dad
As he's holding me in his arms
Not in my dreams
And I could not wait to be
Something at twenty-three
But now I've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now
Now, now, now, now, now, now
From here love looks so effortless
The simple used to do
Grass never feels as green, I guess
Underneath our shoes
Let's you and me and CNN
Flip the switch, go back again
I wonder who we'd see
Reflecting from our tv
Now we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Right now, right now, right now, yeah, ooh
The reconstructing you can do
With scissors and a little glue
And leave what's left to decorate the ground
Rediscovering your bliss
Is the sweetest part of this
(This) Is all we need
Right now we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back, why look back, why look back
Right now we've got the sun,
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a so amazing
Now
Now, now, now now now, now
Right now
Now, now, now now now now
Right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now
(Fade)
All Over You
Look at me, I can't sleep alone
With these secrets I keep
The walls are breathing
And I consider the casualties
If the man that you have to be
Changes his (his) mind over heart
Over head over heels
I can feel good-bye
But I'll always be
All over you
I'll burn upon your body
With a fire that's mocking the sun
All over you
The love that lingers on your lips
Will be my final testament
That what's been done
I can't undo
I'll always be all over you
Yeah yeah yeah
I pour a glass of pure honesty
Leaves me dizzy enough to see
That it's raining (outside my window)
Outside my window, the light balloon
Isn't rising a moment too soon
Breaking things (breaking you, breaking me)
I didn't know they were so brittle they'd break
Was it my mistake
To light the match and blow the ash
All over you
I'll burn upon your body
With a fire that's mocking the sun
All over you
The love that lingers on your lips
Will be my final testament
That what's been done
I can't undo
I'll always be all over you
I could deny the seasons
Even with the last leaf that falls
If I justified the reasons
I'm not yours at all
So I'll go on lamenting silently
If that's the way it has to be
But you'll always touch and taste and see me
Oh no no no no no
All over you
I'll burn upon your body
With a fire that's mocking the sun
All over you
The love that lingers on your lips
Will be my final testament
That what's been done
I can't undo
I'll always be all over you
All over you, all over you
(Look at me I can see)
All over you, all over you
(Alone with these secrets I keep)
All over you - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All over you
The First To Let Go
Ahh, ahhh, ooh
In my meager defense
I've tries to make sense
Of the chaos that clutters my mind
You could nail to my soul
Every reason to go
But the reason to stay I would find
'Cause there's no resolution
Or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flo
But for you I'll discover
The will to recover
For you I'll be first to let go
(Hoah, hoah, hoah), Mmmmm
I'm not his, I'm not yours
I'm not mine anymore
Somehow the silver lining was torn
And we won't get too far
With the door just ajar
Only whispers keeping us warm
'Cause there's no resolution
Or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flo
But for you I'll discover
The will to recover
For you I'll be first to let go
The first to let go
I'll send you a lullaby
Across the burnt orange sky
So looking to heaven you'll know
For you I let go
When I see on your face
One day I've been replaced
I'll smile as I watch you fly
And say one grateful prayer
To the angel who's there
And cry for the one left behind
'Cause there's no resolution
Or clear-cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flo
But for you I discovered
The will to recover
For you I was first to let go
Oh, the first to let go
Turn Me On
Turn me on, turn it up
Well, I can be magic or tragically tragic
I can be everything between us
Some days I'm frightful or awfully delightful
The consummite extremist (yeah yeah)
But you say, grinning
You're okay with all the trimmings
But you're blundering, you're skating
I'm wondering, why are you waiting
Turn me on, turn it up
Turn this fable into fact
Turn my world on its ear
And then go and turn it back
Turn the fall into flight
Turn this bubble to a burn
Baby it's your turn
Turn me on, on
Turn me on
Just trust me you own it, I've always known it
You must have memorized my manual
So why are you scared of this villainous word "love"
Maybe it's too true to handle
Your willing addiction
And feeling a tiny confliction
It's scrawled on your face
Here we've stalled so pick up the pace
Turn me on, turn it up
Turn this fable into fact
Turn my world on its ear
Then go and turn it back
Turn the fall into flight
Turn this bubble to a burn
Baby it's your turn
Turn me on, on
Turn me on
Turn me on
You gotta give it up
'Cause you're gonna, gonna save me
Turn me on
You're charming when you're starving
Don't you ever, ever crave me
Turn me on
Oh gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme something
To hold on to - ooh, oh yeah
Turn the fall into flight
Turn this bubble to a burn
Baby it's your turn
Turn me on, turn it up
Turn this fable into fact
Turn my world on its ear
Then go and turn it back
Turn the fall into flight
Turn this bubble to a burn
Baby it's your turn
Turn me on, on
Turn me on
Keep Me
This can't really be what life is all about
Learning how to live just to live without
The travesty's the irony and the irony is you
I've traded in my sanctity for a cheaper shade of blue
And as I surrender to this sunken bed
So afflicted by the tenant in my head
Even now, I wonder how you lay her down to sleep
When secretly, I know that it's my soul that you pray
to keep
But will you really keep me
(Keep me)
On your porch, or on your tongue
(Keep me)
Beating in your chest, or coming undone
(Keep me)
Folded neatly in the cover of your favorite book
(Keep me)
At a distance, in your maze
Fumbling through a contemplative haze
Or tucked away clandestinely, where no else will look
Where my broken sky reaches to your velvet sea
Will you keep me, will you keep me
Drowning in the bottom of this empty glass
I pray God is good and that this too shall pass
Then from the abyss, maybe I'll find a sweet reprieve
When the echo of your kiss reminds me to believe
That you'll always keep me
(Keep me)
Under God or on your wall
(Keep me)
Behind closed doors, forever after all
(Keep me)
Or headed south on the blacktop ribbon we designed
(Keep me)
On the mantel of integrity
(Keep me)
Investing in something I'll never see
(Keep me)
At thirty thousand feet or in the windows of your mind
In a corner of your heart, under lock and key
Will you keep me, will you keep me
Hoah
Traipsing on hallowed ground (hoah)
Has bought a lifelong sentence
Now, living without your breathe to fill my lungs
Will be my penance
And even as I feel
I hope you feel it just as deeply
And even though you've let me go
Say you'll always keep me
Say you'll always keep me
The melody you misconstrue
Or on the ocean crashing into you
Or waiting for the man you'll never have the heart to
be
In the fervent strains of this tragic elegy
Will you keep me (keep me)
Will you keep me (keep me)
Oh, oh, will you keep me (keep me)
Will you keep me
Oh, ooh, ooh, keep me, ahh
(Fade)
