Faces and faces and faces and faces I take the street and you take the cases It was so lonely I couldn't make it I couldn't own to the love of a lover Ages and ages and ages and ages Valleys are made by the creep of the glaciers I couldn't make it better than it would have been I was a lie in the life of another Faces of races and strangers and wasters Beautiful hatred composed into phrases I can embrace, they're so afraid that they're famous I coulda been, what'd you mean, "What's your quota?" Pages and pages and pages and pages Books that alight in a thousand bright blazes It wasn't hard, but their heart was breaking I look away to avoid going under If you want I could be Anyone, anything If you know how to see Odyssey, vanity It was all in a high Hold it all on the mind I was young, you were brave I could never be the same Faces and faces and faces and faces Island to hide all the nation's disgraces I blame the blind with far off gazes Nothing to see and I can explain it I crossed the line and I was impatient I couldn't stay and I couldn't be baking I took the dead and you took the cages Lies are the best when there's truth in their making If you ever find you where the suburbs turn to trees And I see now, look around you, whippin', hidin' out for me You were waiting for the sunshine You been waiting for me You were waiting for the fire Time to burn these walls again I bet I can taste it, but the scent is in the air I can hear the robo calling out confused that he's there And the wind will soon be calling and the room will currently fall You are something you can't find anywhere in the stars (It will fall) (It will)

You took the wind, you took the sails You took the months between December and May And when the van went to the wreckers And we lost the flat with views of the bay I was only counting we were mounting our best counter attack And when we lay there in the shadow of the moment And the silence was all that we had We were happiest With nothing left We were happiest With nothing left, left Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me There was music in the moment Then that came from having nothing to lose And when things were going better well I always saw much less of you When the house was full of letters And our lives became a dance again I always thought back to the era When the weekends went forever It was all in our head We were happiest With nothing left We were happiest With nothing left, left If we were brave If we were right We could get out of here We took the wind, we took the sails We took the months between December and May And when the van went to the wreckers And we lost the flat with views of the bay We were happiest With nothing left We were happiest With nothing left, left Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me

And when the flight came down I knew More than I could be It was a lot to hold on to And when the flight came down I knew I wouldn't be there no I couldn't find it through And even though we're passing on We can't always Help but bruise the closest ones You fell apart I fell apart One at a time Days turned to nights It felt sometimes Perfectly timed And when the flight came down on you You wouldn't be there You couldn't find it though And even though we're passing on We can't always Help but bruise the closest ones I'm caught in Don't know it I found out And you were there We came out a tidal wave I notice You show it It was hard You came out I lose all Sense of the day And even though we're passing on We can't always Help but bruise the closest ones And even though we're passing on We can't always Help but bruise the closest ones And even though we're passing on We can't always Help but bruise the closest ones And even though we're passing on We can't always Help but bruise the closest ones You were in my dream that night You took me to the other side You fell apart I fell apart One at a time Days turned to nights It felt sometimes Like it was time And if you wanna start to know Need to know I could be there And if you wanna Go you be back Go to the back Go anywhere It was always Where could we find Where could we fall Where do we go It was just the Hard to be there Hard just to stay Hard not to know

It's dawning on me, I see it now The world you came into, not what I thought I found, and I see it clearly, you came to me With the clearest skies, a voice that I could not believe You said it slowly, you said it true You asked me why she was there in the light with you And she can't do that, it's not her place You echoed back to me what you had learned to say I could find it, plain to see Why would I expect that it could ever be, and Did I fail you and did I fall I hope that we can find a place when we were all alone and I could explain it, it's not like that You know your mother, all that was asked And now you're with me, my only son My only daughter, the only one I read your stories late at night Of what he did and how he conquered all the light He was so smart, and he was strong He had all the answers, and he was never wrong He was the enemy, he was the star, and He was a friend, and he was in charge, and He was good looking, the head of the pack And where was she? She was nowhere, she was lost She was hiding, she was not She was pretty, she was the prize She was the glory, she was inside And she was beauty, she was a child And she wore dresses, her eyes were wide Her hair was glory, the trains were long And she was always On the outside looking in On the outside looking in On the outside looking in Couldn't be back where I came Couldn't be lost in the rain Couldn't be wearing that again Couldn't be where you should've been saved Couldn't be walking back from parks in dark at late and all alone Couldn't be where I was Can you just call me when you're safe and home? And Don't you go there, don't you wait at night Don't you trust and don't you wait And don't you be alone when you're driving, and Don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you, don't you, don't you know that? The world was not made for the girls but for the boys, and I know it's wrong, no I know it's not right Your eyes can tell a thousand lies that I just can't find, and Don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you, don't you, don't you know that? Don't you stay there On the outside On the outside
