What I Need
04:01

You said we should fight how this is
Going, going nowhere
Darling, being here feels just like
Breathing, breathing cold air
Hollywood and magazine
There's one, there's one good ending
And you could give me everything
But you could never give me
What I need, I need, I need, I need
I was only trying to find
A way out, a way through this mess
You said it's as long and wide
As my own, my forgiveness
that I need, I need, I need, I need
You said years from now we'll both be
Softly, softly sleeping
And I'll have some defining dream
And wake up, wake up breathing
What I need, I need, I need, I need

Lay Your Head Down

Lay your head down dear
There's no sorrow here
Only time for letting go
And room for landing light as snow
The gentle daylight fading slow
My murmur soft and whisper low
So lay your head down
So lay your head down
Lay your head down dear
There's no sorrow here
Only time for starry skies
And room for long and languid sighs
A gentle dream to close your eyes
A night to fall, a moon to rise
So lay your head down
So lay your head down
Lay your head down dear
There's no sorrow here
Only time for falling in
And room for shadows dark and dim
A gentle song to soft begin
Your breathing out, your breathing in
So lay your head down
So lay your head down

You Did Everything Right
04:00

It always felt the same
Like a shadow
Like a black cold in your veins
He took the best years
In a nightmare
He was right there in everything -
The demon in your dreams
CHORUS
But you did, you did
You did everything right
Yeah, you did, you did
You did everything right
It became in him
Like a spell
Left a thin shell on his frame
He said love doesn't leave --
Is love a kind lie?
Is love a blind eye on your pain?
Cause your love won't make him change
CHORUS
What's wrong, what's right?
Will you lay down your life?
Go on, hold tight
But don't you lay down and die
This is not your fight
You can't always make things right
You already tried
You did everything right
Yeah, You did, you did
CHORUS

Darling, don't be frightened
There are beacons in your bones
And when they shine it's warm and light
Like summer days back home
You're worried that you might be
Left as dull and dark as stone
But if you are, then darling,
What a wonder to have shone
Darling, don't be frightened
There are skies under your skin
In a wide array of white and gray
On wild winter winds
And every still and silent night they pray
That day will come again
But if it won't then darling
Something else will soon begin
Darling, don't be frightened
There's a sea down in your soul
As deep as earth is wide,
As soft and kind as earth is old
Such an ocean, when it finds you
Well it might swallow you whole
But if it does, then darling
What a lovely way to go
If it does then darling
What a lovely way to go

After
04:38
|
|||
Say a prayer for all these stones
Maybe you'll turn them into bread
To feed the feeling you're alone
To feed the questions in your head
Leave a light on in the dark
Maybe you'll guide somebody in
Someone to tell you who you are
Someone to carry who you've been
CHORUS
Cause it's so lonely after
It's so lonely after
Hang a sign above the door
Maybe you'll answer all their fears
That you're not who you were before
That you were never really here
CHORUS
Sing a song out into space
Maybe you'll soothe yourself to sleep
And dream you've never been afraid
And dream you've finally found some peace
CHORUS
