(The Rest Of) New Order lyrics

I turn sideways to the sun
keep my thoughts from everyone
It's a jungle, I'm a freak
Hear me talk, but never speak

So I'm stepping out of time
because breaking is a crime
And it may all be too late
but I've no passion for this hate

That's the price of love (that's the price of love)
Can you feel it (can you feel it)
If we could buy it now (that's the price of love)

You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see

You're hiding from feelings, searching for more
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long
Our lives still change from the way that we were
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to 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 now 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

Listen
I may be wrong but you're missing
There's something wrong you could say
Ruined in a day
You could be the lover of jade
Forever on your own in the shade
Let's do it anyway

Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
While I do the best that I can
Keeping my life in my hands

And if you feel
Your cradle rocking
Then take the wheel
Don't let me stop you

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger

Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it

Once in a while I need a friend
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other

Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighbourhood

We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Lets defend the things we say

I want to be up in the air
