Starting to get back into the hang of our weekly ‘Lyrics On Friday’ share after a few weeks without it… This week I’ve been listening to The Fray’s latest album, and it is rocking my socks. There are a couple of amazing tracks on it (You Found Me, Absolute), but Never Say Never is my favourite track so far.
There’s some things we don’t talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Picture you’re the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
Steady your hand
You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time, time and time again
Younger now then we were before
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
We’re pulling apart and coming together again and again
We’re growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
[Never Say Never – The Fray]
What’s been running through your head this week?

When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she’s not, ’cause she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone….
When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can’t, ’cause she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone….
Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my , roses in my hands?
Would you get them if i did?
No you won’t, ’cause you’re gone, gone, gone, gone, gone….
When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
[Dreaming With A Broken Heart – John Mayer]
How about you?

This weeks installement…
I wanna find my way
Find my way back home
I want to learn to love
And I want to be known
Cause I want to tell you how
But there’s no good metaphor
Knocking at my door
So will you help me friend?
Help discover this new world
Don’t quite know where to begin
But I imagine it on the horizon
The light is breakin’ through
Still I don’t know what to do
Standing here just me and you
And you know that I would run if the wind would call me
And I would rise, but it seems I’m falling
And I just need a place now to begin… to begin
So I can begin again
So do we just start right here
Or go back to the same square one
Isn’t that my biggest fear?
That I’ll miss it when it comes
Cause I don’t know what to do
Is the Kingdom even breakin’ through?
God, I hope it still is true
Cause from everything I see
The biggest problem still seems to be me
And for all the ways the world is shit
There is so much beauty in all of it
But I can’t seem to find
The very thing that haunts my mind
Could it be that I’m still blind?
And you know that I would see if you’d wash my eyes
But I keep swallowing the same old lies
And I just need a place now to begin… to begin
So I can begin again
Is it true? Or is it fantasy?
What is real? Is it mere chemistry?
And where is home? Some place I can’t be.
Is it true? Or is it just my own delusion?
Cause you know that I want to believe you now
But I lost my way somehow
And I just need a place now to begin…
To begin to see that I can find my way home, my friend
And I might, but until then, well…
I just need a place now to begin… to begin
So I can begin again
[Begin Again by The Cobalt Season]
Whats been running through your head this week?

It’s been a lighter week on the blog front, been busy in London, but lots to share! For now, here’s this weeks installment of Lyrics On Friday. This one’s been swirling around for weeks now, the whole album (Leavetaking) is great, but there’s something so haunting in this song…
Oh Los Angeles we leave you now
At the setting of your skies
As we leave the comfort of your ground
With your angels we will fly
Well you carried us in broken dreams
Like a mother does her sons
We were scattered ‘cross your dirty streets
We were dying one by one
And you held us in your city lights
When our eyes had lost the stars
And we made our peace with lonely nights
And you healed our broken hearts
Well they say the Big One’s gonna come
And you’ll fall into the sea
We will know that then your work is done
And your angels will go free
Los Angeles by Peter Bradley Adams
What songs been rattling around your head this week?

This weeks song of the moment:
Travelling again
I know exactly how it’s gonna end
The routine day dream starts as I get off
I’m holding up the queue
Because my ticket won’t go through
I know it should be simple but it’s not
So don’t take my photograph
Cos I don’t wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I’m just moving uncomfortably slow
Something’s gotta change
I know i’m lucky in a lot of ways
So why do I want more
Than what I have?
Brace myself to hear the lies
I wonder if they know that I
Don’t get the jokes but I just
Need to laugh
So don’t take my photograph
Cos I don’t wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I’m just moving uncomfortably slow
I’m just moving uncomfortably
Slow down
There’s infinite detail
When you break it down
It all becomes simple how
It all becomes clearer now
So don’t take my photograph
Cos I don’t wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I’m just moving sub-consciously
One day I guess i’ll be
The man that you think you see
I’m just moving uncomfortably
Slow.
[Uncomfortably Slow – Newton Faulkner]
What’s been keeping you going this week?

[I know, it’s past midnight, technically Saturday, but still…]
I had something else saved for today… but decided against it. So, this is what’s in my head today. How about you?
As she sits in the corner
face to the floor
she dispels smoke from from her lips
and slowly floats away with it
letting go of so much pain
her tears are thick enough to stain
the pavement that slowly becomes
her best friend when she needs to run away
This is your time to weep
This is your time to morn
Not yet time to build up
Just a time to tear down
old walls
Does it help to say I’m sorry
If so than I’m sorry that your so unhappy
This life those lies are starting get you down
Darling don’t let them drag you around
Saying “it’s my fault” doesn’t help repeated
Time love and Jesus seems to beat it
She’ll find out this is harder than
Taking medicine
We’re still waiting for the fire
Seeing smoke and waiting for the fire
[A Time For Yohe – Between The Trees]
