Coming home from my pursuit [of happiness]
Empty-handed in a 442
I might as well find here
what I didn't find - somewhere else.
But I heard you whisper:
"Johannes, you missed her.
She left early or you are too late"
Who gives a shit but you
Who gives a shit
Shifting gears on Memory Lane
Revving up, there's time to gain
Speeding past the old house and
dusty dreams - oh, just drive on...
Past the elementry, the staginess of empty
parking lots at night
Who gives a fuck but you, who gives a fuck...
but you and I
Hey, hey are you home?
It's been a while,
Each day a mile.
Hey, hey are you home?
I'm in town,
Let's drive around.
And I said: hey, hey I am in town,
And I said hey, hey are you home?
And I said: I wasted so much time
While you were waiting for a sign, say -
Hey, hey are you home?
It's been a while,
Each day a mile.
Hey, hey are you home?
I'm in town,
Let's drive around.
Around and round and round...
And I heard you whisper:
"It's your fault you missed her."
Well, your plan was inaccurate.
Now who gives a fuck but you,
who gives a fuck - but you?!

Gravity

You know, I'm safe, you're sound,
but you're losing ground.
Get your gravity right.
But you - but you keep smiling
like the world ain't on fire,
on fire tonight.
You know, those bright city lights
attract you, distract you,
but you don't know what from.
They shimmer, they sparkle and wait
for your next mistake.
You've lost your balance tonight.
(Weightless tears you shed
They carry you tonight
They float you through the night
They carry you tonight)
Weigh the things I, I've said
They are yours tonight
Cast your name in lead
Get your gravity right
Wander, stumble and swirl,
losing touch with the world.
Wander, stumble and fight,
to get your gravity right.
You know, we all fall down,
but you, you stick around;
oh levitate, my Love...
And I reach out while I stumble and swirl
for your hands but you are
already one with the stars.
Come back down, reunite,
get your gravity right.
You know, you're all I want,
you're all I need,
you make me land on my feet.
Let's fall into the night
Let's get our gravity right
Weightless tears you shed
They carry you tonight
(they float you through the night
they carry you tonight)
Weigh the things I, I've said
They are yours tonight
Cast your name in, in lead
And get your gravity right
Weigh the tears you shed
Get your feet back on the ground
You move on to forget
With your balance lost and found
The things I, I've said
They float you through the night
Cast your name in, in lead
And get your gravity right

Parade Us

(Hey - ...alright.)
Dressed up as rabbits and pirates tonight,
no, don't be afraid - attend the masquerade!
Because you look good, jitterbugging minefields
and I look good as a stray dog - licking that wound that never heals.
And somehow you fit into Cinderella's little shoe.
And somehow you fit into Cinderella's little shoe.
And somehow you fit into Cinderella's little shoe.
Sin - sin - Cinderella, la, la, la, laaa!
Cinderella's little shoe...
Dressed up as fairies and cowboys tonight.
It's all good, it's all fake - come on and join the parade!
And you look good on the sea-saw all alone.
And I look good in your wardrobe when your boyfriend is coming home.
And once we see those pirates and fairies
unmasked, in the raw, dressed up as salesmen in the crowd,
it's all like secret memories of a dream only you know about.
And we walk, walk, walk
altogether down the street;
Just a flawed, odd squad
dressed in costumes all so sweet.
I'm a liar you're a thief,
tears and make-up smeared our cheeks
revealing each deep secret
our masking failed to keep.
And somehow you fit into Cinderella's little shoe.
And somehow you fit into Cinderella's little shoe.
And walk away...

Not Afraid
03:48
|

|
I didn't treat you well
I wasn't there, when you fell
You build a home for me and you
You said "come in, the door's unlocked"
But I never made it through
Now it's too late
It's no one's fault
We told our final chance "goodbye"
It's too late
You've gone home
And I am not afraid to die...
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid
"We should move on" you said but I just froze
I let you down when you needed me the most
I took for granted that you were there
Instead of being grateful, I forgot to care
Now it's too late
It's no one's fault
We told our final chance "goodbye"
It's too late
You've gone home
And I am not afraid to die...
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die alone
I'm not afraid, no I'm not afraid.

Waiting
03:18

Find myself, lose myself
Waking up as someone else
Walk the plank, walk the streets
Waking up between different sheets
Just a dream that won't stop
Waking up won't do the job
Being late, nine years straight
Waking up and then I wait
I don't wait, I don't wait
I am waiting, I don't wait
I don't wait, I don't wait
I am waiting, I don't...
Find myself, lose myself
Waking up as someone else
Drank too much, gone to war
Waking up and drank some more
Yeah, I wait, I don't care
Waking up and you were there
I whispered "stay, now here's the plan:
I will never sleep again."
I will never sleep again
Never sleep again
Never sleep
Never sleep again
I will never sleep again
Never sleep again
Never sleep
I will never sleep again
Never sleep again

This House

This house is burning down, the flames light up your face.
They warm your sore heart in their red hot embrace.
The heat dries the tears on your cheeks in a while,
Leaving layers of salt that crack when you smile
- if you smile.
This house is burning down.
Burning down.
This house is burning down.
Burning down.
This house is burning down, the flames light up your face.
They warm your sore heart in their red hot embrace.
This house is burning down.
The heat dries the tears on your cheeks in a while,
Leaving layers of salt that crack when you smile
- I will smile.
This house is burning down.
This house is burning down.
Burning down.
This house is burning down.
