Words Are All We Have
01. 20/40
It's time to start thinking about the times you thought about ending what was beautiful. I don't want to be a guy who can't figure out if he wants to be in love. Love, I'm wondering if it's love, I'm wondering if it's love. - - - - - 02. cold Every thought I've ever had is now racing through my head And I need to tell someone in next to no time I've waited a whole year to be just where I am And I'm not about to wait another year in line I'll always see your facial expression I'll always hear that echoing "oh my god" 'cause where I am right now is just where I don't want to be It's where you're not Cold, cold... trip if you're running after me And the distance from here seems to ruin your life But it should never make you feel to guilty If you let me take hold of the steering wheel for while I will drive you off the cliff of insanity Cold, cold... trip if you're running after me I hope my feet have the strength to make it all the way back home I hope my friends don't question me and ask me where I've gone I hope my mind doesn't stop me and ask me exactly what I've though I hope my expedition isn't all for a useless cause - - - - - 03. all because of you I've been driving in my sleep again, it helps me to believe again It helps me to grow strong, it keeps me moving on And I won't speak for days, because I am so amazed that you have kept me for so long A miracle, that I have survived. Can't you tell I've never been this strong? It's all because of you, the things you do The things that make me want you here If you can hear me through your radio, I'll tell you that you'll never know another day of pain. Because nothing is the same And I will not give in, I'm counting down the days until I can be with you Incredible, that I have survived. Can't you tell I've never played this game? It's all because of you, the things you do The things that make me want you here - - - - - 04. stay away A retrospect of all that might have been Is catching up and breaking me down The photographs are slowly wearing thin They're screaming but they don't make a sound Upon exposure to a burning sun The negative all show the truth When two become the opposite of one You begin to wonder "What's the use?" Waiting for this all to fade away... What was once a scar, a stain Has now become a memory And if you think that you can change Just stay the hell away from me How much longer will you waste my time Before you know who's really around If everyone around is breaking up Then why are you just breaking down - - - - - 05. same things I really hate it here, it's a room with no windows and I am stifled by the lack of light, or air for breathing. It's such a sad scene, busy streets filled with people who hide their faces behind sunglasses that swallow up all sense of feeling. They have no clue that i'm leaving. I know I run away from everything, Sometimes I like to fall For now I have to stop and ask myself, I need to know the reason Why do I worry about the same things? Why do I worry about the same things? So thats my strategy, it may not be what you wanted but its the best thing for the situation that is right in front of me I need a new home, a place to call my own Where beauty rises with the sun, where people smile and the mean it The people here wouldn't believe it. I know I run away from everything, Sometimes I like to fall For now I have to stop and ask myself, I need to know the reason Why do I worry about the same things? Why do I worry about the same things? My worries end, when I can feel like I belong. It all depends on the good people, the good people... I know I run away from everything, Sometimes I like to fall For now I have to stop and ask myself, I need to know the reason Why do I worry about the same things? Why do I worry about the same things? - - - - - 06. save yourself You heal the colors of my curiosity's blood Cut in half the ringing in my ears Too bad the joke is done, the losing streak has one And I haven't felt this good in years Because you've got the right direction, you are the one exception Hold back my feelings so sure Because you are the contradiction, you are the contradiction You are my addiction and it feels so fucking pure Go on and save yourself and take me far away from everybody else Just take me there to stay and no one will hear what we say As long as we're far away Too much is not enough, you ask the question of "Is this really happening?" Win back all you've lost, throw down 'bout any cost The road won't keep you away from me Because you are the one exception, you are the one exception You've got the right direction, and I'm so fucking sure It's funny how things turn out When you least expect to turn around See me now, I won't make a sound But still you see the best in me. - - - - - 07. we belong in love I was falling for the rocket girl, Who's always in another world, Who's never really there. She was caught up in the undertow, He dragged her where he wanted to go, And never seemed to care. We ran into each other, The freeway buckled under. The damage was enough, To see we shouldn't be apart, We left our burning cars, Ant now we are in love. And now we never are apart, It's written in the stars, That we belong in love. - - - - - 08. preparing to leave Well today I found the truth It must be hard being you And tomorrow we'll find war for what I ask you And you should know you'll be missed And I should know did it hurt to go through this I hope you're safe and sleeping sound It's hard without you around I'm trying best to settle down I can't find anyone to love in this town And you should know you're the one And I should know, why did all of this happen. Come back to me now, cause you might find that you're Days away from being alone forever Hours away from no second chances Minutes away from not making this worth it Seconds away from not knowing me at all - - - - - 09. in the way You know the leaves never stay on the trees So don't make me feel so guilty when I fall down If you believe that you're strangling me, I would agree I just can't get out now I feel like I just get in the way If you think that you're wasting my time You would be right, I just don't know why Everybody's got a reason to see, I still believe that everything's alright I feel like I just get in the way - - - - - 10. lying down Whatever happened to all the dreams you had? I saw you give up, did trying hurt that bad? And the best that you could see is all you chose to be. All the rest you left behind for me, But there's more out there. And you don't see me, I'm nobody, Someday you'll believe but I'm not about to take this lying down. So what's the matter? Everything has changed. It may be better, but you'd still complain. And the best that you could see is all you chose to be. All the rest you left behind for me, But there's more out there. And you don't see me, I'm nobody, Someday you'll believe but I'm not about to take this lying down. - - - - - 11. twenty forty Its time, to stop thinking about the times you thought ending what was beautiful. I don't want to be a guy who can't figure out if he wants to be in love. I'm wondering if it's love. She won't even look at me I can't even ask her if i wanted to We couldn't ever be anything special So why even try? I'm wondering if it's love. - - - - - 12. the rain Could we stay inside a little more 'cause outside it's begun to pour You know me, I'd like to get some air But the rain is just messing up my hair And you know me, I just want to look my best That was then, now a year has almost passed And I fear that love will never last Since we kissed, I wish that it had rained some more To remind us what we were fighting for And though time forgave, it just will not forget And the next time that we cross paths I'll just walk on by, I'll just keep on walking This is how you say goodbye This is just the medicine that I need (And girl you know it's unfair to make believe) I could never leave you out in the cold I could never leave you out on your own I could never leave you out in the cold I will never leave you out all alone There is no difference when we're both right The only real distance is time And the next time that we cross paths I'll just walk on by, I'll just keep on walking This is how you say goodbye This is just the medicine that I need Forget the sticks, forget the stones Words were all we had The only thing that mattered This year there's no turning back - - - - - Tracks 1, 8, 11 by Alex Rossiter Tracks 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 by Nick McLean Tracks 3, 5, 7, 10 by Zach McLean All songs copyright 2007 Beautiful Lies |

01. the end
"You're an asshole" was the last thing that she said, And now I've reached the end. How can she expect me to be there, When she won't even be a friend? So lay down, cuz I'm a mess. I've washed my hands of this. Establishing makes it easy for me to start again, And now I've reached the end. So lay down, cuz I'm a mess. I've washed my hands of this. Always wondered if we could have made it. Wondered if it could be different, If I could have made you happy. - - - - - 02. cold Every thought I've ever had is now racing through my head And I need to tell someone in next to no time I've waited a whole year to be just where I am And I'm not about to wait another year in line I'll always see your facial expression I'll always hear that echoing "oh my god" 'cause where I am right now is just where I don't want to be It's where you're not Cold, cold... trip if you're running after me And the distance from here seems to ruin your life But it should never make you feel to guilty If you let me take hold of the steering wheel for while I will drive you off the cliff of insanity Cold, cold... trip if you're running after me I hope my feet have the strength to make it all the way back home I hope my friends don't question me and ask me where I've gone I hope my mind doesn't stop me and ask me exactly what I've though I hope my expedition isn't all for a useless cause - - - - - 03. all because of you I've been driving in my sleep again, it helps me to believe again It helps me to grow strong, it keeps me moving on And I won't speak for days, because I am so amazed that you have kept me for so long A miracle, that I have survived.

What I fear, is that I'm never done. And I'm too scared, afraid it will come. So give me the answer. I want to see. Give me a reason. Let me be free. Now my friends, what do we have here? It's the ghost of my only fear. So give me the answer. I want to see. Give me a reason. Let me be free. In my life, I wander all alone. With her love I can find home. What I fear, is that I'm never done. And I'm too scared, afraid it will come. So give me the answer. I want to see. Give me a reason. Let me be free. - - - - - 05. preparing to leave Well today I found the truth It must be hard being you And tomorrow we'll find war for what I ask you And you should know you'll be missed And I should know did it hurt to go through this I hope you're safe and sleeping sound It's hard without you around I'm trying best to settle down I can't find anyone to love in this town And you should know you're the one And I should know, why did all of this happen.
