gravity

honey, it's been a long time coming
and i can't stop now
such a long time running
and i can't stop now
do you hear my heart beating
can you hear that sound
cause i can't stop thinking
and i don't look down

and then i looked up at the sun and i could see
oh the way that gravity turns for you and me
and then i looked up at the sky and saw the sun
and the way that gravity pulls on everyone, on everyone

baby, it's been a long time waiting
such a long, long time
and i can't stop smiling
no i can't stop now
and do you hear my heart beating
and can you hear that sound
cause i can't help crying
and i won't look down

and then i looked up at the sun and i could see
oh the way that gravity turns on you and me
and then i looked up at the sun and saw the sky
and the way that gravity pulls on you and i, on you and i

can you hear my heart beating
can you hear that sound
cause i can't help crying
and i wont look down

nature's law

i tried to fight the feeling, the feeling took me down
i struggled and i lost the day you knocked me out
now everything’s got meaning and meanings bring me down
i’m watching as a screening of my life plays out

every day i fight these feelings
for your sake i will hide the real thing
you can run all your life or mine, i will chase

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
you should never fight your feelings
you have to follow nature’s law

i’ll live with never knowing, if knowing’s gonna change
i’ll stop the feeling growing, i will stay away
like a broken record stuck before a song
a million beginnings, none of them the one

every day i fight these feelings
for your sake i will hide the real thing
you can run all your life or mine, i will chase

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
you should never fight your feelings
you have to follow nature’s law

i wrote her letters and tried to send them
in a bottle i placed my hope
an sos full of good intentions
sinking, will you give in to me
don’t make me wait
you build me up, knock me down
but i will stand my ground
and guide this light that i’ve found

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
if you let them show you’ll keep them
i know you’re hurt but soon you’ll rise again
again, again, again, again, again, again, again

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
you should never fight your feelings
i have to follow nature’s law

out of nothing

out of nothing you came to my arms and you're right
i fell every time
you're the first and the last time that i'll ever try
so dry your eyes, i'll say goodbye, i say goodbye...

i'm left hanging like all dancing bears
i need rope to keep me in line
i can't stop them, there's more bombshells coming
i choke
more words, more lies
i'll say goodbye, i'll say goodbye...

i can't believe its come to this
banging on a sinking ship, hoping someone hears my list
for every trial i take a fall, you never notice it no more
what we had won't conquer all
while the shots still ringing out
you do the worst to bring me down
you do the worst to take me out
i'll say goodbye, i'll say goodbye...

a glorious day

who could send something so pure to lure me away
i fought with the last of my breath
but you came along on a glorious day
by the time that you left i was crawling again
yeah you came along on a glorious day
now i want you to save me again

ooh oooh ohhh

the fire that they said would burn just lights up the way
i lie in the place where i fell
and three years on, the nine day wonder
won't go away
till you bring an end to my hell

but you came along on a glorious day
by the time that you left i was crawling again
yeh you came along on a glorious day
now i want you to save me again

let them all keep their plans
cos all i want is in my hands
and i cant look down
back then i had it all, now i want it back that's all
and i cant get out

ooh oooh ohhh

you came along, on a glorious day
by the time that you left
i was crawling again
yeh you came along on a glorious day
now i want you to save me again

spell it out

here's my list of all the things i should have said and done
the boats i missed and all the fights i lost i really should have won
and i'm not the only one
but i won't bow or take the world as you would hand it down
so leave me out of all your plans 'cause i don't need them now
i'll find my own way out

'cause when you're left with nothing
there's nothing left to lose
that's when they'll come looking for me and you
once we wanted nothing and everything was new
it was all laid out just for me and you now

wave goodbye i know that i'll believe if you spell it out for me,
spell it out so everyone can see
all that really matters now to me is that i could set you free
but my hands are tied and i can't find my feet

sit by me for long enough and watch your enemies float downstream one by one until you realise you're free
there's no one left but me

'cause when you're left with nothing
there's nothing left to lose
that's when they'll come looking for me and you.
once we wanted nothing and everything was new
it was all laid out just for me and you now

wave goodbye 'cause i know i'll believe if you spell it out for me
spell it out so everyone can see
all that really matters now to me is that i could set you free
but my hands are tied and i can't find my feet

this sweet old world will give it out until it's time to leave
i won't hurt for you when all you want's a flawless victory
how wrong could anyone be?

'cause when you're left with nothing
there's nothing left to lose
that's when they'll come looking for me and you.
once we wanted nothing and everything was new
it was all laid out just for me and you now

wave goodbye i know that i'll believe if you spell it out for me
spell it out so everyone can see
all that really matters now to me is that i could set you free
but my hands are tied and i can't find my feet

looking as you are

i told the devil and the deep blue sea to hide
i thought that you were after them
i was right
but it's a picture i'll always keep in mind
where you say i've never been even liked
for anything truly mine

and you did it - looking as you are
looking as you are

love enters, and leaves you through your eyes
you threw away the only thing that i like
and ought tell ya, that things will be alright
it never really seems that way, late at night

when you did it looking as you are
looking as you are

now i know, that the world's not waiting for you, nor for me
now i know that the world gets heavy, will change?

'cause you did it looking as you are
looking as you are

now you're gone, i stand on my own

ashes

i've waited, and given the chance again,
i'd do it all the same, but either way
i'm always outplayed, up on your down days
i left it the right way, to start again

now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
when you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long i've agreed
now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
when you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long i've agreed

refrain

out of place, like a gem on a coalface
lost on the right way, it's all the same
'cause i've had my hopes raised, riding the wrong waves
scared when you felt safe to start again

now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
when you said that we were wrong, life goes on, look how wrong i could be
now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
when you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away

awa

i sink like a stone, i lost my control
