New Empire - A Little Braver

With December comes the glimmer on her face And I get a bit nervous I get a bit nervous now In the twelve months on I won't make friends with change When everyone's perfect can we start over again? The playgrounds they get rusty and your Heart beats another ten thousand times before I got the chance to say I miss you When it gets hard I get a little stronger now I get a little braver now And when it gets dark I get a little brighter now I get a little wiser now Before I give my heart away Well we met each other at the house of runaways I remember it perfectly We were running on honesty We moved together like a silver lock and key But now that your lock has changed I know I can't fit that way The playgrounds they get rusty and your Heart beats another ten thousand times before I got the chance to say I want you When it gets hard I get a little stronger now I get a little braver now And when it gets dark I get a little brighter now I get a little wiser now Before I give my heart away When it gets hard I get a little stronger now I get a little braver now And when it gets dark I get a little brighter now I get a little wiser now Before I give my heart away

This conversation is moving faster than I thought it would An indication, something I thought I'd lost long ago It's just like learning to swim; I've fallen in the deeper end, again So would you chase me in, or for you is it pretend? Cus I don't want to feel without you, so tell me you believe in this too Hide with all the ghosts in your bedroom, they will keep you awake We can escape, escape We can escape This conversation is moving faster than I thought it could I'm chasing shadows as they surround you in this empty room It's just like running a maze; you never know what you can find, tonight But as we're here now, everything in me wants to try We could chase this feeling But I just want you Cus I don't want to feel without you, so tell me you believe in this too Hide with all the ghosts in your bedroom, they will keep you awake We can escape, escape We can escape, escape When I was younger I would dream of this moment, and how I thought it would never come Now we're older I will dream of this moment, the city puts a ghost in us We could chase this feeling But I just want you Cus I don't want to feel without you, so tell me you believe in this too Hide with all the ghosts in your bedroom; they will keep you awake... We can escape, escape We can escape, escape When I was younger I would dream of this moment, and how I thought it would never come Now we're older I will dream of this moment, the city puts a ghost in us We can escape

Oh joys arise The sun has come again to hold you Sailing out the doldrums of the week The polyphonic prayer is here It's all around you It's all around you out here And if the whole world is crashing down on you Fall through space out of mind with me Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising Blows all the shadows far away The falling of the whole empire is here to hold you Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps Little memories marching on Your little feet working the machine Say will it spin, will it soar? My little dream working the machine Soon like a wave that pass will fall And closing in on you, they're going on Little memories Your little feet working the machine Say will it spin, will it soar? My little dream working the machine Soon like a wave that pass will fall And closing in on you, they're going on

We could sail across the seven seas Take you far away from the mysteries that reminds you Of the loneliness in you heart We could search for islands far and near Join in creation Look to hear all the songs They've been singing all these years Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find we have all we need If my boat were ever to drift ashore Would you come find me Your ropes and oars are a beacon That's hidden deep within my soul So I'll bury my treasure And bury it deep with all of my footprints I've hidden the keys You can find them at the bottom of this sea Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find we have Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find So why are we always going to waste (Eh, oh, eh, oh) Pull me together and put me in place (Eh, oh, eh, oh) So why are we always going to waste (Eh, oh, eh, oh) Pull me together and put me in place (Eh, oh, eh, oh) Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long In coming home we find Search across the oceans For who you are been lost for too long Searching for a secret In coming home we find we have all we need In coming home we find we have all we need In coming home you'll find you have all we need
