Passenger

Crash land out in the desert Picking through the wreckage With shaking hands Ash and embers still burning Prepeller still turning Churning the sand Lover oh my lover I know I'm not easy to understand Cover darling take cover For I am the sandstorm And you are the sand Last night is painful in hindsight Like a drunk in a bar fight Ashamed and alone You're like a fox in the headlights Running out through the dark night Silent as stone Lover, oh my lover I've never been easy to understand Cover darling take cover For I am the sandstorm And you are the sand Well lover, oh my lover I know I'm not easy to understand Cover my darling take cover For I am the sandstorm And you are the sand Well I am the sandstorm And you are the sand I am the sandstorm And you are the sand

I saw your face, stuck in a crowd Silently screamin' out loud I felt the beat echo your heart Throw me a line 'cause it's too far All that you want, all that you see All that you thought that you believe Is it enough? Do you think it's too much? You say you only trust what you can touch All you got to do is reach out for it All that you want Is standing right in front of you All that you need Is love All that you want Is standing right in front of you All that you need Is love Walked to the ledge, put out my hands Scared to the bones of where I'd land Trade in my fears, trade in my thoughts They disappear behind your walls All that I want, all that I need All that I thought I believed Was it enough? Sure not too much? Now you're the only thing that I can trust All I got to do is reach out for it All that you want Is standing right in front of you All that you need Is love All that you want Is standing right in front of you All that you need Is love It's all for you It's all for you

I know a man with nothing in his hands Nothing but a rolling stone He told me about when his house burnt down And he lost everything he owned He lay asleep for six whole weeks They were gonna ask his mother to choose When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose "Now I gotta hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt A whole lot of trouble," he said But now the money is gone, life carries on And I miss it like a hole in the head, oh-oh, now I know a woman with kids around her ankles And a baby on her lap She said one day her husband went to get a paper And the motherfucker never came back Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise But keeping the wolf from the door She said, "The wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked So, why you gotta worry me for?" Now he left a hole in my heart A hole in a promise, a hole on the side of my bed Oh, now that he's gone well life carries on And I miss him like a hole in the head Well, sometimes you can't change And you can't choose And sometimes it seems you gain Less than you lose Now we've got holes in our hearts Yeah, we've got holes in our lives Where we've got holes, we've got holes But we carry on Where we've got holes in our hearts Yeah, we've got holes in our lives Where we've got holes, we've got holes But we carry on Said we've got holes in our hearts Yeah, we've got holes in our lives Where we've got holes, we've got holes But we carry on Said we've got holes in our hearts We've got holes in our lives We've got holes, we've got holes But we carry on Said we've got holes in our hearts We've got holes in our lives We've got holes, we've got holes But we carry on Said we've got holes in our hearts Yeah, we've got holes in our lives Where we've got holes, we've got holes But we carry on

Well, if love is blind Then home's where the heart is How we ever gonna get back where we started From now on, run with blindfolds Into the wood's 'til the trees knock us out cold Winds shriek like drunken females On a hen night, last bit of fun 'Til he breaks her heart in a text or an email She can deal with the bastard son We've got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road We see a light in the dark, but it's fadin' like hope I'll make a promise just to break it for, the sake of it We think that we're honest, but truth is what we make it to be Well, a stitch in time saves nine, that's fine But we've all been proper stitched up this time It's a right old mess at a grand old time Right and left, in front and behind It's Sunday, Sunday, another bloody Sunday Just a day 'til another bloody Monday Mornin', yawnin', borin', snorin' In front of the boss when you just got a warning We've got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road We see a light in the dark, but it's fading like hope I'll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me Just so there's someone else to blame when it all falls down When it all falls down, down, down When it all falls down, down So let's get some fire in our hearts And a yellow brick road I'm gettin' bored of the dark We could turn the lights on, you know I'll make a promise, and I'll keep it for, the sake of it We could tell the truth for once, see just how we take to it We could walk in forests and climb, up every tree We'll build our house upon the sand, every day in the sea I'll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me Just so there's somebody else Just so there's somebody else Just so there's somebody else

Well, we watched the starlings fly Around the burnt-down pier and die Spilled my coffee on my sleeve She wiped it with a smile And told me I was juvenile And kissed me softly on my cheek And her hair danced in the breeze Like a thousand swinging trees In a forest lying next to stormy seas Well, we watched the wintry sky Turn a shade of turquoise, I Whispered softly "I feel lost" She turned with laughing eyes And curled her lips towards the sky And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!" And we laughed like a pair of fools Like kids, they laugh at school And we wandered home before the day brought dusk

When you got nothing Freewheeling and free falling you go When you got nothing you've got something to prove Then you get something Something that you've always dreamed about When you got something you've got something to lose They take everything They take your spark They take everything They break your heart They'll take everything Oh 'cause nothing's ever something Until you lose everything Before you got everything You're flying high, you don't wanna come down But something stirs down in your soul If everything is nothing 'Til you got someone to share it with Somebody to have somebody to hold Give 'em everything Give 'em light and dark Give 'em everything Give 'em all your heart Give 'em everything Yeah 'cause nothing's ever something Until you give everything 'Cause nothing's lost forever Yeah when some things never change Oh and anything is better When you've got love You've got everything You've got everything Oh oh, everything Oh oh, everything Oh oh, everything Yeah, 'cause nothing's ever something Until you give everything
