One Last Time With You
We're the frost on the window.
I'm the breath on your glass.
We're the haze in the window fading, fading fast.
As you sit on my sofa, like you have done all this time,
I look into your eyes and I almost change my mind.
I just want to dance, I just want to dance one last time with you.
I just want to move, I just want to move like we used to do.
I just want to dance, I just want to dance one last time with you.
Cause there's something in your skin,
something in your skin I'm addicted to. Can you feel it?
Now we're down to a handshake from my nails down your back.
Such displays of indifference are almost an attack.
As we build these defences like we need them just to last,
but I look into your eyes and I almost change my mind.
I just want to dance, I just want to dance one last time with you.
I just want to move, I just want to move like we used to do.
I just want to dance, I just want to dance one last time with you.
Cause there's something in your skin,
something in your skin I'm addicted to.
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it? I can feel it.
Just give me one last time.
Just give me one last time.
Just give me one last time.
I just want to dance, I just want to dance one last time with you.
I just want to move, I just want to move like we used to do.
I just want to dance, I just want to dance one last time with you.
Cause there's something in your skin,
something in your skin I'm addicted to. Can you feel it?
I Want My Heart Back
So I threw away our bed and everything you ever ate with.
I left your stuff in a pile on the lawn
where I thought that you might find it.
I'm not keeping it prisoner - maybe you'll return the favour.
I will swap you your tshirt for my heart back.
I'll return all your gifts to get my heart back.
I will tell you the truth to hear the blood beat echo through my veins.
I want my heart back 'cause, when you had it,
my chest was empty and my hands were cold.
I want my heart back 'cause, when you had it,
my chest was empty and my hands were cold.
'Cause you took it away.
'Cause you took it away.
'Cause you took it away.
'Cause you took it away.
So I threw away our bed and everything you'd ever slept on
but I keep finding your hair everywhere, reminding me you're not gone.
I will swap you your tshirt for my heart back.
I'll return all your gifts to get my heart back.
I will tell you the truth to hear the blood beat echo through my veins.
I want my heart back 'cause, when you had it,
my chest was empty and my hands were cold.
I want my heart back 'cause, when you had it,
my chest was empty and my hands were cold.
Next time, I won't give it away.
Next time, I will keep it for me.
Next time, I won't give it away.
Next time, I will keep it for me.
Next time, I won't give it away.
Next time.
I want my heart back 'cause, when you had it,
my chest was empty and my hands were cold.
I want my heart back 'cause, when you had it,
my chest was empty and my hands were cold.
'Cause you took it away.
'Cause you took it away.
'Cause you took it away.
'Cause you took it away.
Opening Doors
I'm going outside for the very first time
in seven years without your hand in mine
and it's like the horizon's gotten so much wider
and everything is suddenly fine.
I don't think I ever said I'd stay forever.
No, you were never the one.
And now that I'm free, I'm going out dancing.
And now that I'm free, I'm climbing up mountains.
And now that I'm free, I'm gonna go everywhere you wouldn't go with me.
You wouldn't go with me. You wouldn't go with me.
Look at all these opening doors.
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
And it's not that I regret you
(or anything that seemed a good idea at the time)
but this bird didn't know she was caged
until she was suddenly allowed to fly.
I don't think I ever said I'd stay forever.
No, you were never the one.
And now that I'm free, I'm going out dancing.
And now that I'm free, I'm climbing up mountains.
And now that I'm free, I'm gonna go everywhere you wouldn't go with me.
You wouldn't go with me. You wouldn't go with me.
Look at all these opening doors. (Now I'm finally free)
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
(Look at all of these opening doors)
Look at all, look at all these opening doors. (Now I'm finally, finally)
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
I don't think I ever said I'd stay forever.
No, you were never the one.
And now that I'm free, I'm going out dancing.
And now that I'm free, I'm climbing up mountains.
And now that I'm free, I'm gonna go everywhere you wouldn't go with me.
You wouldn't go with me. You wouldn't go with me.
Look at all these opening doors.
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
Look at all, look at all these opening doors.
Getaway Car
Got a date with my getaway car,
pedal to the floor and I'm driving too fast.
Full tank and a radio and a bag in the back
and nothing ahead but black.
Too many years in a box in a small town.
Too many years with a straight face and my head down.
Too many years being too compliant, too polite and too damn quiet.
What you gonna do? Get out and make some noise.
What you gonna do? Climb out of this whole.
What you gonna do? Embrace the daylight
and see if there is more out there for me than just you.
Hear the hum of my getaway car,
listening to the sound of the traffic fly past.
No thoughts on the open road in the dead of the night
but losing myself to the light.
Too many years in a box in a small town.
Too many years with a straight face and my head down.
Too many years being too compliant, too polite and too damn quiet.
What you gonna do? Get out and make some noise.
What you gonna do? Climb out of this whole.
What you gonna do? Embrace the daylight
and see if there is more out there for me than just you.
Just. You. Just. You.
You won't catch me in my getaway car.
Just try and catch me in my getaway car.
Don't kid yourself that you broke my heart.
Just watch me fly in my getaway car.
Just. You. Just. You.
What you gonna do? Get out and make some noise.
What you gonna do? Climb out of this whole.
What you gonna do? Embrace the daylight
and see if there is more out there for me than just you.
The Watcher
One by one, I seek you out in this crowded room.
I scan the faces. I check their names.
I pass them over. I'll find you soon and we'll get out of here.
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me,
like yours is the only face I ever want to see.
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me.
Never would have thought that you would be the end of me.
Oh, it's been much too long.
Oh, you waited much too long.
Oh, it's been much too long.
Oh, we've been much too long.
Step by step, I track you down in this lonesome mess.
I walk the world and, from mountain tops,
I fall to earth and I'll see you there when I hit ground again.
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Could it have that I've watched too long?
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me,
like yours is the only face I ever want to see.
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me.
Never would have thought that you would be the end of me.
Oh, it's been much too long.
Oh, you waited much too long.
Oh, it's been much too long.
Oh, we've been much too long.
I'll step out from underneath your shadow and I'll go out into the world.
And I will come a year later and find you with another girl.
You'll hold her closer. I'll bite my lip so that I don't scream out loud.
And I will stay for another hour 'til I have seen it all.
And I will stay for another hour 'til I have seen it all.
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me,
like yours is the only face I ever want to see.
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me.
Never would have thought that you would be the enemy.
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me,
like yours is the only face I ever want to see.
Everywhere I go, I see your face in front of me.
Never would have thought that you would be the enemy.
I Will Rise
I left home today and I didn't leave a note.
The car's milometer will say I went much further than I drove.
But looking out across the lake, I know I'm safe. I know I'm safer.
I built a shell of stone to live in every day but you chipped at it.
The rain eroded it away.
But looking out across the lake, I know I'm safe. I know I'm safer.
I am ghost in the ether.
I am a tiny speck of light
where once I was a woman
and you couldn't break me down, couldn't break me down.
I am a badly taken picture.
I am some poorly chosen words
where once I was a woman
that you couldn't break, that you couldn't break
but I will rise. I will rise.
The shredded remnants of your art will go away, away, away.
The glassy fragments of your heart will go away, away, away.
The sense of knowing who you are will go away, away, away.
How did I let it get this far? I'll go away, away.
I am a ghost in the ether.
I am a tiny speck of light
where once I was a woman
and you couldn't break me down,
couldn't break me down.
I am some badly taken pictures.
I am some poorly chosen words,
where once I was a woman that you couldn't break,
that you couldn't break
and I will rise. Yes, I will rise.
Yes, I will rise. Yes, I will rise.
Yes, I will rise (yes, I will rise, yes, I will rise).
Yes, I will rise (yes, I will rise, yes, I will rise).
Yes, I will rise (yes, I will rise, yes, I will rise).
Yes, I will rise.
Cassandra
I knew a girl who was always right.
You could say she had second sight.
And she turned to me with this sullen sigh and she said, she said
"We do this thing like talking but we don't talk anymore.
We do this thing like caring but we don't care anymore.
We do this thing like knowing but I don't know you anymore.
We do this thing like living but I don't live here anymore."
And I would listen when she talked to me.
I would comfort her when she cried.
I would listen when she talked to me
but I never took a word of her advice.
Cassandra, you're not fooling me.
Cassandra, you're not fooling me.
I knew a girl with a wandering eye
and she was never taken by surprise
but she looked around and up at the sky
like it was falling and she said, she said
"We do this thing like talking but we don't talk anymore.
We do this thing like caring but we don't care anymore.
We do this thing like knowing but I don't know you anymore.
We do this thing like living but I don't live here anymore."
And I would listen when she talked to me.
I would comfort her when she cried.
I would listen when she talked to me
but I never took a word of her advice.
Cassandra, you're not fooling me.
Cassandra, you're not fooling me.
"And if you're never coming back, won't you take me with you?
If you make up for what I lack, won't you take me with you?
If you're never coming back, won't you take me with you?
And if you make up for what I lack, won't you take me with you?"
And I would listen when she talked to me.
I would comfort her when she cried.
I would listen when she talked to me
but I never took a word of her advice.
And I would listen when she talked to me.
I would comfort her when she cried.
I would listen when she talked to me
but I never took a word of her advice.
Cassandra, you're not fooling me.
Cassandra, you're not fooling me.
The Hunted
I have dreams of hunting you down like a rabid dog in a movie scene.
Yeah, I have dreams of tearing you up,
of folding you out for everyone to see.
Cause you never turn and look at what you've done
and the enemies you've made are just an endless source of fun.
Cause you never turn and look at what you've done, at what you've become.
How can you have been so cruel?
How can you have been so unkind, my little twisted girl? Yeah.
How can you have been so cruel?
How can you have been so unkind, my little twisted girl?
My little twisted girl.
I have dreams of hunting you down with an angry mob,
my little beauty queen.
Yeah, I have dreams of tearing you up,
of making you new the way that you made me.
Cause you never turn and look at what you've done.
The destruction that you've made is just an endless source of fun.
Cause you never turn and look at what you've done, at what you've become.
How can you have been so cruel?
How can you have been so unkind, my little twisted girl? Yeah.
How can you have been so cruel?
How can you have been so unkind, my little twisted girl?
I'll be running in my heart.
I'll be running in my head.
I'll be coming to this place for you.
I'll be running even more.
I'll be running 'til I'm there.
I'll be coming to this place for you.
And I will find you.
How can you have been so cruel?
How can you have been so unkind, my little twisted girl? Yeah.
How can you have been so cruel?
How can you have been so unkind, my little twisted girl?
My little twisted girl.
The Beat Inside
We need to talk.
Seems we've been running on empty lately,
when the talking was once so easy.
I used to lie on your bed by your record deck
and listen to what you played me.
But the longer I'm around, I am chasing absent sounds.
I can't seem to find a single word to say.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the beat inside.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the beat inside.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on. All we have left is the music.
As time goes on, it seems our paths are diverging daily.
I guess the love that we had is failing.
And the jokes that we make have the stalest taste -
I don't know why we even make them.
But the words just seem to fly. Common grounds aren't easy to find.
I don't seem to have a single word to say.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the beat inside.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the beat inside.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on. All we have left is the music.
And we could have been good. Yeah, we could have been great
but I can't stay around when I've got nothing to say.
And we could have been good. Yeah, we could have been great.
Now all we've got is a record collection and some time to waste.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the beat inside.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on. All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the beat inside.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the music.
All we have left is the lyrics cried as you walk on by
and go on and on and on and on.
You Love For A Living
I don't know why you go throw your heart around.
Your heart is impatient. Pick it up from the ground.
Cause you go everywhere she goes (and then you say you're lonely)
and you say everything she'd say (and then you say you're lonely).
You love to have a girl to obey. And then you say you're lonely.
This is the life when you love for a living.
I've always felt like you'd make a killing
throwing your heart at every girl that walks by.
It's no surprise that you barely survive.
This is the life when you love for a living.
I've always felt like you'd make a killing
throwing your heart at every girl that walks by.
Well, it's no surprise. It's no surprise. It's no surprise.
I don't know why you won't stand up on your own.
You say she supports you. Well, I'd never have known.
Cause you go everywhere she goes (and then you say you're lonely)
and, when you run away, (and then you say you're lonely)
you find another girl to obey (and then you say you're lonely).
This is the life when you love for a living.
I've always felt like you'd make a killing

I've always felt like you'd make a killing
throwing your heart at every girl that walks by.
Well, it's no surprise. It's no surprise. It's no surprise.
I don't know why you go give it all away.
Your heart could make history: just charge for the pain.
You'd make a killing. You'd make a killing.
You'd make a killing, a killing, a killing.
This is the life when you love for a living.
I've always felt like you'd make a killing
throwing your heart at every girl that walks by.

Well, it's no surprise. It's no surprise. It's no surprise.
The Future
When it's all too much inside my head,
I go to a place where there's no one there
and I run like I did when I was young,
when I wasn't scared to be seen by anyone.
That's when it all comes clear
and I can see that everything is real
and I can really tell you how I feel about you.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
Ooo, without you, without you,
where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
And I just go. I just go. And I just go.
With my arms spread wide like some passing bird,
I make no plans for where I go
as I whoop and whirl and twist and turn.
No finish line. No sign of home.
And maybe it's alright that you will never see this sight
as I take off on my first solo flight without you.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
Ooo, without you, without you,
where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
I keep the beat on the ground and my heart in the clouds.
I keep the beat on the ground and my heart in the clouds.
I keep the beat on the ground with my heart in the clouds.
I keep the beat on the ground with my heart in the clouds.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet (I keep my heart in the clouds)
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
Ooo, without you, without you,
where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
When I run, I feel the future in my feet
like where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
Where I'm going's exactly where I want to be.
I just go. So I just go. So I just.
