(written by Pete Yorn). . Westwood girls in their skirts and their turtle necks. Starting their day with their coffee and cigarettes,. Says she's from Taipei now lives in Texas,.
Time flew away,. But something won't forgive it all,. Days and weeks,. Let's start from the beginning of a life.. . She called today,. Pretending not to care at all,.
1,2,2. and you search your heart x4. I just wanna tell you. I don't know why. If you find the answer. I'll be inside. arranging time. You won't find another dummy who wait for you.
I wake still shaking from a dream. The life I want to lead. But I'm not starting all brand new. Get cool in losing you. Oh, we know. At least we hope so.
Shame, pass the ticket along. Are you outside or inside?. You are in.. So what you want to know?. That everybody wants you?. You're old enough to say.
Rock crowd throw your arms around me. I feel glad when you all surround me. It's you, it's you who grounds me. When you're done put me back where you found me.
As I went out one evenin' down Columbus Avenue. All the Sushi bars were shuttered, dark cantinas too. And I stood there in the darkness, as an empty cab rolled by.
When I met you,. I didn't know what to do. I was tired,. I was hungry,. I fight. Now I'm away,. I write home everyday and I see you on the TV at night..
Your shadows are fading, folding into mine. Elusive my vision, sliding into time. And softly I wake 'mid settling snow. Disturbing the morning with something I know.
Come on come on we gotta get there. Come on come on we gotta go. Come on I know you're feeling better. I know you're feeling in control. I know you're feeling in control.
Policies drive a nation. Don't tell you their role. Policies drive a nation. Don't tell you their role. Clearly think. Clearly see. Gonna take you over.
Would you like to learn to dance? Well, I can show you how. Gotta book here, all you need to know. We can draw the Arthur Murray patterns. Right here on the floor, all ya have to do is follow.
The words you never cared to say. I want to find a better place. When we rely on something more than this. And even when I try to sleep. I'm lookin' for my best friends.
With your face to the wind, I see you smilin' again. Spirit's movin' within, I know that you're gonna win. . You've been down this road before. Somethin' inside tells you what's in store.
Play me a song.... Play me a song. Sing your heart out. Expecting the sun. I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough. I got what I wanted when you showed up.
Silence slips between us. Solitude complete. The stillness clear. And close as heaven's door. . The earth beats out its rhythm. In slow and perfect time.
Play me a song.... Play me a song. Sing your heart out. Expecting the sun. I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough. I got what I wanted when you showed up.
Whispered words and promises we made when we were wed. Thank you, love, for meaning what you said, what you said. Thank you, love, for meaning. . Each of us is weak and strong but some of us are true.
I'm outside your house. 2 am it's dark. So many mistakes. Come back home from bars. . I am on your side. I just want to tell you off. . So many lies. Are taking hold.
Where have all the flowers gone?. Long time passing. Where have all the flowers gone?. Long time ago. . Where have all the flowers gone?. Young girls have picked them everyone.
