Lyrics
Oblivion
So you're out there with your new friends
You can hear them sing your praise
While I'm threading these dark hours
Through our yesterdays
You're thinking what friends you've gained...
And it's days
Days like this
That I could sleep, to oblivion
Not raise my head to see the pain which has risen
So you talk to talk the hours
You talk them all away
While I'm threading these dark hours
Through our yesterdays
You're thinking of what friends you've gained
And it's days
Days like this
That I could sleep, to oblivion
Just days, days like this
That I could sleep to oblivion
Not raise my head to see the pain that has risen.
You & Me
I thought you'd be standing at my door
Wanting to give it some more
Wishful thinking you'd be there
When all I wanted was, you to care
I am here if you want me
Here, if you'll choose to believe
In a restless world, that there could be
A you and me
I didn't know how you'd feel
When this love for me feels so real
So, I'll wait by your side
This time
I am here if you want me
Here, if you'll choose to believe
In this restless world, that there could be
A you and me
I am here if you want me
Here, if you'll choose to believe
In this restless world, that there could be
A you and me
Stay
From the dark
Of night
I can feel
You call out my name
Through the walls
I have laid
Is there a way for us
To dig up the feeling
And hold it up to the light
When we get that feeling
That keeps us dreaming
Let’s hold it up to the light
Won’t you
Stay with me
Stay the night
Stay with me
Until the morning light
Through tears
Tears, sweat and blood
We can share our nights
Until they’re ours
Tangled in between
Who we are
And who we long to be
Stay with me
Stay the night
Until the morning light
Stay with me
Stay the night
Take these hands
Make them feel
Take this heart
And make it real
Stay with me
Stay the night
Oh, won't you stay
Awake
I lie awake now
I lie in bed
What’s left inside me now
Is only in my head
I wait for morning
I wait for sun
I wait for somebody
To drive me home
I feel the rapture
It feels unkind
For all the hurt that you gave me
I’m left to unwind
There’s no sense in dreaming
No reason to hide
Why paint an illusion
To give me false pride
After all is said and done
After you have loved someone
When the moon wears a halo, too
We’ll be crying hard for you
I can’t stand believing
That you’re truly gone
Cause in you was something
I believed in all along
After all is said and done
After you have loved someone
When the moon wears a halo, too
We’ll be crying hard for you
