I knew how it felt to be another one in need of someone to show the way
Until you saw a part of me that nobody else
Could see and my life hasn’t been the sameYou make me feel lucky as I can be
Before I couldn’t get a break,
Never had a chance to make
The impressions I want to
But now it falls right into place
When I get to see your face
Then there’s nothing that I can’t doYou make me feel lucky as I can be
No more dark days, only sun rays
No more hard ways with you todayYou make me feel…
You make me feel lucky as I can be

Tryin’ hard to recognise
Some pure motive inside of me
A creature that would horrify
Any child that I used to be
Oh, give no faith to show
Started to smile so I showed my teeth
No more than flesh and bone
Doin’ so much just to watch someone bleedBut I love the very blood of you
It keeps its heat in spite of you
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me alwaysTryin’ hard, I nearly find
Innocence in spite of me
Oh, creature that would terrify
Any child left inside of me
Oh, that’s a cold insight
Nothin’ above us and nothin’ below
Ahh, but you might be right
If there is no heaven and there is no soulI just love the very blood of you
It keeps its heat in spite of you
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always
Always, always, always
Oh, I love the very blood of you
It keeps its heat in spite of you
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always
Oh, I love the very blood of you
Leaks and squeeks you black and blue
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always -
I’ve lived a lot of different lives
Been different people many times
I live my life in bitterness
And fill my heart with emptinessAnd now I see, I see it for the first time
There is no crime in being kind
Not everyone is out to screw you over
Maybe, oh just maybe they just wanna get to know yaNow the time is here
Baby, you don’t have to live your life in fear
And the sky is clear
Is clear of fearDon’t wanna live in fear and loathing
I wanna feel like I am floating
Instead of constantly exploding
In fear and loathingGot different people inside my head
I wonder which one that they like best
I’m done with tryin’ to have it all
And endin’ up with not much at allAnd now the time is here
Baby you don’t have to live your life in fear
And the sky is clear
Is clear of fear
Of fearDon’t wanna live in fear and loathing
I wanna feel like I am floating
Instead of constantly exploding
In fear and loathingAnd when the time comes along and the lights run out
I know where I will belong when they blow me outDon’t wanna live in fear and loathing
I wanna feel like I am floating
Instead of constantly exploding
In fear and loathingI wanna be completely weightless
I wanna touch the edge of greatness
Don’t wanna be completely faithless
Completely faithlessWhen the time comes around
When the lights will go out
When the time comes around
When the lights they go out -
He hated himself for wanting any of this. But not enough to stop. Never enough to stop.

Your features defy all metaphors
And I’m the king of those
Your hair is too pretty
To be compared to a city
So I’ll leave it out of all my proseAnd your eyes are unlike any ocean
That I have ever seen
Unlike any jewels
They break the writing rules
And I’m trying to keep this song cleanAnd not to mention
Despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
And it’s so unexpected
My heart feels unprotected
I’m so thankful for that way you look at me, meEverything that you say is a poem
And I’m hooked on every word
Your mouth speaks no lies
Needs no alibis
And not one single word is slurredAnd I love that you talk about Dillon
And all the books you read
I know you so well
Didn’t notice any spell
But you seem to be taking the leadAnd not to mention
Despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
And it’s so unexpected
My heart feels unprotected
I’m just thankful for that way you look at me
[x2] -
Look behind you
Avoid the shadows
Watch your back now
Make your breathing shallowKeep your room locked
And leave the blinds closed
I’m right there staring at your windowAnd all I need is you
And all I need is youI’m in the background
On the radio
I’m in your car
In your house
Waiting at your door
Under your footsteps
I’m everything you know
Just let me haunt
Let me haunt
Let me be your ghostYou had your chance love
You tried to stay strong
You tried to let go
Tell yourself you moved onBut then it comes back
That feeling in your bones
Like I’m right thereAnd all I need is you
And all I need is youI’m in the background
On the radio
I’m in your car
In your house
Waiting at your door
Under your footsteps
I’m everything you know
Just let me haunt
Let me haunt
Let me be your ghost
Let me be your ghost
Just let me be your ghostI’m in the background
On the radio
I’m in your car
In your house
Waiting at your door
Under your footsteps
I’m everything you know
Just let me haunt
Let me haunt
Let me be your ghost -
“Because you filled a hole in me I didn’t even know was there. You make me complete. You make me happy. I see you, Robbie. I see you.”

What
What does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you’ve seen?Why
Why do we feel
To try to find real
Underneath a machine?What
What does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you’ve seen?Why
Why do we feel
To try to find real
Just to meet the machine [Repeat x3]
To meet the machine [Repeat x2] -
If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
AnymoreOh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my lifeNeed your love more than you’ll ever know
A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king tradesAll of my love
For someone else’s hand
Need your love more than you’ll ever knowYou don’t miss your water
You don’t miss your water
‘Til your well is gone -
Begin Again
Begin Again
Begin AgainI’ve been watching your kindness keep
A lonely company
Look at the fire and think of me
I’ve been watching you creep
Around my wandering feet
Trying for years to fleeI need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding soundYou be the moon I’ll be the earth
And when we burst
Start over o darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again [x2]My moon o my moon
Not even into
Another eternity
Will you stop your lovely orbiting
I had held it a world away
Until my body ‘gan to sayI need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding soundYou be the moon I’ll be the earth
And when we burst
Start over o darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again [x2]
