Failure was not the Start

You're doing your best,I can barely keep up.
You're making your plans, and I think of myself.
I'm running away, You're finding me out.
You won't let me go, and You won't let me down.

You've taken your time, You took me apart.
I fought every day, but You taught me to stop.
You're changing your mind, and You're changing my heart.
Failure can't be the end, cuz it wasn't the start.


Subtitles for this situation

I can see that you can't fake this now.
The simplest grief translates to hopelessness.
I know I'm not the victim here, so I'll close my eyes.

How can you just expect me to entertain you when I'm called?
Then take my place back on the shelf where I belong?
To stay where I'm not wanted, be seen but not be known.
Your pleas are not convincing, You never said "Don't Go."

Break it down, you're all alone this time.
And you just make it harder for yourself.
I know I'm not the victim here, so I'll close my eyes.

How can you just expect me to entertain you when I'm called?
Then take my place back on the shelf where I belong?
To stay where I'm not wanted, be seen but not be known.
Your pleas are not convincing, You never said "Don't Go."

I'm changing all the choices made.
I'm changing all the things I said.
I'm changing all the time I spent.
I'm changing everything.


Summertime

If you scream, if you scream your heart out now,
I'll believe, and I'll never feel a single doubt.
That it's me your heart has fallen on this time,
I know that your tears will be for nothing if you never let them go.
Tonight

I'll see you in the summer,
I'll see you in the summertime.
Today is like forever,
Tomorrow will come in time.

And we'll see just how right we really are.
From the corner of my eye I see our own disaster
Heading right for us as we just slip into ourselves and drive.
And if I know me way we spin will catch me by surprise.

I'll see you in the summer,
I'll see you in the summertime.
Today is like forever,
Tomorrow will come in time.
If it's me your heart has fallen on this time,
Then it's me your heart will fall upon this time.

This time I'll get it right.


Through the Wires

Where do you go when you're alone?
The rain on your face, the wind and the cold.
You smile cuz you know, you're not far now,
This is your escape, and everyone knows that.

California seems so far from wherever you are.

I feel like a ghost everywhere I go,
Never really alive, never really alone.
I need to get back where I belong,
You're becoming a home, and it's the warmest I've known, but

California seems so far from wherever you are.

Set my heart on fire.
I'll take you in right through the wires.
So you can make it back inside.
I'll take you in right through the wires.

It hurts, but I'll try so hard,
To make a mile an inch, make the ocean a fog.
No matter how warm we keep our hearts,
The atlantic is cold, and it keeps us apart.

California seems so far from wherever you are.

Set my heart on fire.
I'll take you in right through the wires.
So you can make it back inside.
I'll take you in right through the wires.

Is this some kind of fantasy, or something that's real to me?


All We've got to Lose

You came my way tonight,
You broke away from the world that holds you
Tighter than you'd like.
You feel restrained but you never tell me why.

Every time i catch that look in your eyes,
Every time i know you'll never be surprised.

If the feeling was gone, would your love be true?
If I needed someone would it still be you?
If I emptied myself would that be enough to prove,
Forever is all we've got to lose.

You made it all so clear,
The past can't haunt you, only disappear without a trace.
Now that you're here.
Now that you're here.

Every time i catch that look in your eyes,
Every time i know you'll never be surprised.

If the feeling was gone, would your love be true?
If I needed someone would it still be you?
If I emptied myself would that be enough to prove,
Forever is all we've got to lose.

Still I cannot breathe with you,
Wait until you make a move.
Passing glances right across the room,
I can't even bring myself to speak to you.


Impatience, My Dear

And as the rain came down, I knew my luck had changed.
I watched it hit the ground, knowing I'd do the same.
There's no escaping now, the choices that I made.
If I don't close my eyes, I'll watch my life degrade.

I thought that I would notice.
I thought that this was all we were waiting for.
But we know it wasn't what we thought,
At least it's not anymore.

So I'm giving up, giving up.
My dear, it's so unfair.
Giving up, giving up.
Cuz you were never there.
Giving up, giving up.
This wasn't what we planned,
but what's wrong with that?

I tried and tried and tried, I gave my love away.
Maybe you did as well, but it was far too late.
The words that sealed my fate were waiting to be spun.
And so the end began when they rolled off my tongue.

I thought that I would notice.
I thought that this was all we were waiting for.
But we know it wasn't what we thought,
At least it's not anymore.

So I'm giving up, giving up.
My dear, it's so unfair.
Giving up, giving up.
Cuz you were never there.
Giving up, giving up.
This wasn't what we planned,
but what's wrong with that?

Hey, everyone's impatient.
But, hey, everyone is waiting.


When Everything Changed

I can't breathe the same air as you.
I can't be the same, I don't want to.
When everything changed, so did you.
There's nothing to win if there's nothing to lose.


On the Rooftops (This One is Yours)

So you stayed, and watched her go,
Now even the dark will speak her name.
It's times like these we learn to live alone.

You can't escape the memories,
That flood through your mind with every tear.
Her favorite songs are ringing in your ears.

To all the people on the rooftops singing,
All the songs that lost their meaning.
This one is yours, This one is yours.
So, raise your voice without contempt,
You're more alive with every breath.
This one is yours, This one is yours.

Here you are once again,
You've lost everything worth holding in.
You'd break the world to make it understand. That you give because you need,
You don't even know what to believe.
So you give yourself to anyone who smiles the right way.

To all the people on the rooftops singing,
All the songs that lost their meaning.
This one is yours, This one is yours.
So, raise your voice without contempt,
You're more alive with every breath.
This one is yours, This one is yours.

So pack your bags, say goodbye,
Check your passport one more time.
If you leave it all behind,
It will be nothing more than
A short collection of memories,
You forget so easily.
I hope that when you find your peace,
You'll remember...

All the people on the rooftops singing,
All the songs that lost their meaning.
This one is yours, This one is yours.
So, raise your voice without contempt,
You're more alive with every breath.
This one is yours, This one is yours.


The Places We Go

Hey, let's go to where the sun is bright for us,
Start again, and live a brand new life.
Come on and take my hand, we'll make it there,
Under the serenade of songs that take us,
Away from here.

These are the places we go in our hearts,
These are the dreams that we pull back down.
These are the days we'll remember for the rest of our lives,
It's never going to get easier for me to say goodbye.

Okay, i know it's not as easy as it sounds,
But sometimes life can take unfair control of us.
So take my hand, we'll make our stand,
We'll live each day as if the wind could take us,
Away from here.

These are the places we go in our hearts,
These are the dreams that we pull back down.
These are the days we'll remember for the rest of our lives,
It's never going to get easier for me to say goodbye.

I swear i'll let you drive if you would let me in,
We'll get across these plains as fast as people can.
We'll sing, i know that means the world to you,
Enjoy each minute far more than people do.

These are the places we go in our hearts,
These are the dreams that we pull back down.
These are the days we'll remember for the rest of our lives,
It's never going to get easier for me to say goodbye.


Colourful

You wear me out with all your little questions,
You wear me out without a sound.
You never seem to offer a solution,
You never try to make it out.

It seems so long ago when we were in love,
And time was on our side,
We had all the time in the world, that seemed so bright.
Now it's a bit less colourful for us.

This is a hell for you and me.
And nothing that you say is reaching me.
This is our hell, it's underneath
All the promises we made when we were free,
From you and me.

I'm never satisfied with what I'm given,
Is that the truth? I don't agree.
If all this time you thought yourself the victim,
Then why the lies? And why the deceit?

It seems so long ago when we were in love,
And time was on our side,
We had all the time in the world, that seemed so bright.
Now it's a bit less colourful for us.

This is a hell for you and me.
And nothing that you say is reaching me.
This is our hell, it's underneath
All the promises we made when we were free,

I woke up this morning, and I was alone.
No head on your pillow, no wedding ring on.
There's no understand of where we went wrong, but it's clear,
It all went so wrong.


Failure is not the end.

Here I am, I'll try to be honest, cuz i can.
I'll try to be better than I am, for you.
I need to hear your voice, I don't need to talk, I need to listen.
I open my mouth, I close my eyes, and my wisdom is a pale disguise.

You never change at all.
You'll always break my fall.
And I love you most of all.
I love you most of all.

Please be still, no need to remember where you've been.
You need to recall everything about me.
Let it be, it was never important to me.
Failure never defines who you will be.
You are mine, don't you see?

That I never change at all.
I'll always break your fall.
And I love you most of all.
I love you most of all.

Come to me, like I saw it all in my dreams.
Living here is a mystery, and I want to know everything.
I can fall so deep, but never anywhere you can't reach.
I'll I have is the mystery of why you still love me.

(I never wanted it this way.)

You never change at all.
You'll always break my fall.
And I love you most of all.
I love you most of all.
