Lyrics

All of the damaged people who love you
Sift through the wreckage a bit at a time
Broken in pieces, all of the stories
Add up to something, looks like a crime

Woah...oh, what happens from here
Woah...oh, I dare you to come near
Woah...oh, what happens from here
Woah...oh, can we see our way clear

When all of the lonely people who love you
Are finally willing to look at the past
Shattered foundations, uncovered treasure
Something of value under the glass

Woah...oh, what happens from here
Woah...oh, I dare you to come near
Woah...oh, what happens from here
Woah...oh, can we see our way clear

When all of the holy people who love you
Let go of the fables holding them back
Everything falling easily into place
Making the picture perfect at last

Woah...oh, what happens from here
Woah...oh, I dare you to come near
Woah...oh, what happens from here
Woah...oh, can we see our way clear

Deep into the nighttime, as the light turns black
Something’s running after me, but I can’t turn back
Then I feel your presence on my shoulder
And with this light I feel bolder

Something deep inside me starts to crack
I want a change, but can I make it last?
‘Cause every shadow tries to pull me back
And I don’t know if I can stand this black

It’s hard, but I know I can do it
If I try, I can finally break through it
It’s hard, but I know I can do it
With this light, I will find my way through it

Until this crack breaks open, I’m lost
Pressure is building, I can feel the cost
This shadow’s catching up to me and I know
I’ve gotta turn and face it before I go

It’s hard, but I know I can do it
If I try, I can finally break through it
It’s hard, but I know I can do it
With this light, I will find my way through it

It’s hard, but I know I can do it
If I try, I can finally break through it
It’s hard, but I know I can do it
With this light, I will find my way through it
So, don’t try to undo it
I will find my way through it

I will find my way through it
I will find my way through it
I will find my way through it
I will find my way

I will find my way through it
I will find my way through it
I will find my way through it
I will find my way
I will find my way
I will find my way
I will find my way

When I am falling down alone
And I can’t make it on my own
I start to wonder where you’ve gone this time
When everything seems out of place
I try to visualize your face
But I don’t know if I can make it happen
This time
This time

When this old world is upside down
And all my friends are not around
I feel your love light shining down inside
And I remember what you said
That everyone must pass this test
And I have only to request some kindness
This time
This time

When I am falling down alone
And I can’t make it on my own
I have to reach for what I know inside
Now I have everything I need
For you have planted a sweet seed
And I am down here on my knees, so thankful
This time
This time
You’re mine
This time

All my life... I’ve been dreamin’ of you
All my life... I’ve been searchin’ for you

On a corner... in a bar... on a hilltop... in the city
I’ve been waitin’... I’ve been lookin’ for you
Why has it been so long?
All I wanted... all I long for is you to be with me

All my life... I’ve been yearnin’ of you
All my life... I’ve been burnin’ for you

On a corner... in a bar... on a hilltop... in the city
I’ve been waitin’... I’ve been lookin’ for you
Why has it been so long?
All I wanted... all I long for is you to be with me

How many years must I walk alone?
Climbing hills and kicking stones
I see two trees with roots entwined
Not much room, but they don’t mind

On a corner... in a bar... on a hilltop... in the city
I’ve been waitin’... I’ve been lookin’ for you
Now that I found you, I am ready to go
Find us a mountaintop away from it all
So I can just be with you
Ooo-oooh
Ooo-oooh
My dream is you

In the morning, you were lying in my bed
In the morning, you were messing with my head
In the morning
When something went wrong

We were laughing, we were laughing over this and that and
We were having so much fun
We were laughing
When something went wrong

Something always gets in our way
Something I said, something you had to say
When we get entangled and led astray
Things get strange real fast in this game we play

In that moment there was knocking at our door
We got quiet, wondering what they came here for
In that moment
When something went wrong

The door opened, then the creature slithered in
We were screamin’ when the walls dissolved and then
We were leavin’
When something went wrong

Something always gets in our way
Something I said, something you had to say
When we get entangled and led astray
Things get strange real fast in this game we play

Bright lights
Losing our moorings
Something doesn’t feel right
We are transforming

We were flying in a spaceship toward the Sun
We were cryin’, asking why they had to come
We’d been lyin’
When something went wrong

We’re not from here, now they’re taking us back home
We had come here to discover the unknown
We were slackin’
When something went wrong

Something always gets in our way
Time keeps slippin’, looks like we overstayed
When we get entangled and led astray
Things get strange real fast in this game we play

We’re leaving today
Just a wormhole away
Doesn’t matter what we say
Up, up and away

When the moon is full, and the sky is light
I see into your eyes
Where your heart is well, far as I can tell
And our lives are so aligned

Time changes everything
World spins round and the game has changed
We stand on shifting sand, and we believe
No one’s to blame

When the moon is dark, and the stars shine bright
Now I see your eyes shut tight
You are lost in your mind, with no room for my kind
And I see we’re not alright

Time changes everything
World spins round and the game has changed
We stand on shifting sand, and we believe
No one’s to blame

I thought I’d spend my life with you
I thought that’s what you wanted too
We found ourselves on different lands
This wasn’t part of what we planned, but...

Time changes everything
World spins round and the game has changed
We stand on shifting sand, and we believe
No one’s to blame

No one’s to blame
No one’s to blame
No one’s to blame
Time isn’t really through
Taking you away from me
I’m leaving you

It might be true, it might be lies
I’ll know it’s true if I see it in your eyes
My heart is waiting here on this ledge
I thought I heard the sorrow in something you said

I won’t go away; I won’t leave you alone
It’s not that kind of love that we’ve known
This is not an easy world
You are not a simple kind of girl

I’ve been alone at times in my life
I can’t really imagine your plight
You’ve just got to stay on this side
You’ve just got to wait, it’ll be alright
You’ve just got to promise me... tonight

You’ve just got to stay on this side
You’ve just got to wait, it’ll be alright
You’ve just got to promise me... tonight

Sitting with you as the volcano rocks the world
Look in your eyes at reflections of flames unfurled
See the fire flowing rivers growing wider to the sea
Holding your hand as the dancing trees bow and twirl

The rock on which we’re stationed
High up above the rest
Creates a firm foundation
What little there is left

Volcano, volcano
Show us what lies below
Volcano, volcano
Show us what we don’t know

Nobody listened, nobody took heed in time
Action-reaction, the rhythm of nature’s rhyme
Once the chain reaction started there was no safe place to be
But up on the top of this mountain with you and me

The rock on which we’re stationed
High up above the rest
Creates a firm foundation
What little there is left

Volcano, volcano
Show us what lies below
Volcano, volcano
Show us what we don’t know

One final glimpse of the steamy black remains
Measuring wordlessly losses against the gains
We will wait until the quiet overcomes the global pain
Wait for the white dove to signal ‘begin again’

The rock on which we’re stationed
High up above the rest
Creates a firm foundation
What little there is left

Volcano, volcano
Show us what lies below
Volcano, volcano
Show us what we don’t know

Volcano, volcano
Show us what lies below
Volcano, volcano
Show us what we don’t know

Hey old man
What are you waitin’ for?
You don’t have much time to squander
You want to even the score

Hey little girl
What are you waitin’ for?
You got your whole life before you
You got to give a bit more

Waitin’ for the bus, waitin’ for the cure
Waitin’ for the right moment
Waitin’ for the world to come around
Waitin’ for the sign, waitin’ for the call
Waitin’ for the right moment
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground

Hey Native Son
What are you dyin’ for?
You left your whole life behind you
You can’t give anything more

Hey mighty heart
What are you waitin’ for?
You got the whole world before you
You got to open that door

Waitin’ for the bus, waitin’ for the cure
Waitin’ for the right moment
Waitin’ for the world to come around
Waitin’ for the sign, waitin’ for the call
Waitin’ for the right moment
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo

Waitin’ for the bus, waitin’ for the cure
Waitin’ for the right moment
Waitin’ for the world to come around
Waitin’ for the sign, waitin’ for the call
Waitin’ for the right moment
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground...

Her ground
Her ground
Her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground

Her ground
Her ground
Her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground

Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her ground
Waitin’ for the girl...
Waiting for the girl...

Her ground
Her ground
Her ground
Waitin’ for the girl to stand her... ground

When I’m singing this song, I sing it all to you
And my heart glows shining bright for you
And I feel like I’m on an endless sea
And I’m floating inside eternity

And I know... oh oh
It’s my heart and soul... oh oh
Showing the way... hey hey
At least for today

Then the tide turns, and our angry words haunt me
Then I feel like you don’t really want me
And my heartache radiates everywhere
Then the shadows crawl out to claim their share

When everything’s broken... hmm hmm
My heart shattered open... hmm hmm
I just keep hopin’ to find
My way back to you

My way back to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you
My way back to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you

I’ll find my way to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you
My way back to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you

When everything’s broken... hmm hmm
My heart shattered open... hmm hmm
I just keep hopin’ to find
My way back to you

When my mind clings to insecurity
Then I can’t see what’s right in front of me
Like when I sing with you, I feel your love too
And my heart glows shining bright for you

But when everything’s broken... hmm hmm
My heart shattered open... hmm hmm
I just keep hopin’ to find
My way back to you

My way back to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you
My way back to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you

I’ll find my way to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you
My way back to you... ooh ooh
My way back to you
