International lyrics

I don't know if I told you
But I'm seeking sanctuary
You'd never guess the things that I do
I've had the devil around for tea

Don't you know that I'm here beside you?
Can't you see that I can't relax?
When I saw you in my rear view
You could have stopped me in my tracks

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask's the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh, so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said

Crystal

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was Summer, now it's Autumn

I don't know what to say
You don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage
with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
you can't buy it with money
you're not alone anymore
shock me to the core
you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy

You're much too young
To be a part of me
Too young
To get a hold on me

You're much too young
You're much too young
You're much too young
To mess around with me

Hey
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe
That's why we could be
But you're too young
Too young

The past doesn't matter (12x)

Hey
Sophisticated lady

Who is this man that follows me
This blue-eyed boy who wants to be
This worthy cause of human kind
This pawn set up by time

Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
He'll drive you away, he'll drive you insane
But then he'll remove all of your pain
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying

You know it never meant much to me
There's something on your mind that i couldn't see
It didn't hurt me too much to find
You were seeing someone else for all of this time
You know that i don't care
And i'd like you to know that i don't care
I don't need your sympathy
Why don't you ever look at me

You did nothing for me
You did nothing i see
You did nothing for me
You did nothing

I walk along the street
I look into your eyes
How pleasant when we meet
I'm there when you go home
How many times before
Could you tell I didn't care?

When you turned your back on me
I knew it lead nowhere
You believe in youth
The history of all truth
A heart that's left at home
Becomes a heart of stone

You believe in truth
The lies we told of youth
A cause we call our own

I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild

I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me

I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it
But I never realized that we were through
And I'm down here all alone with every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create will come to you someday

And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
