Cradlesong lyrics

Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give thier selves away
but I'm still afraid
we can stay out of their field of vision
if we can keep ourselves a half a world away
ah honey we'll be ok

the world can be so cruel
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long

everybody's got thier own opinion
everybody's got a place were they belong
like a favorite song

fire on the mountain
through the freeze, save yourself
there's evil in the garden
but you don't see it, i can tell

-CHORUS-
how do you sleep while the city's burning?
where do you go when you can't go home?
how do you drink when there's blood in the water?
where do you turn when the world moves on?

fire on the mountain
you can feel it against your skin
you're standing by the river

oh well, oh well
guess you've got it all worked out so far
you adjust your reason
until you see the light from where you are

but you can never win
you can never lose
that's the worst part
you can only say that what you want
is where you are

-CHORUS-
you're beautiful, girl
won't you listen to me?
well, i tried so hard to give you what you need
and it burned like gasoline

this life keeps moving on
gone away before too long
so tell your friends just how you feel
you'd better say it loud for the world to hear

'cause it's getting late, it's time to go
the paper moon is fading slow
but the night, it keeps moving on
'til it takes you in; it brings you home

while you're watching over the moments that make up your life

Feelin' worn down
Like a piece of glass
Doesn't take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies
Make and swallow them
You don't see just how you got into this situation

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better
Than the secrets you keep
Lay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me

(Chorus)

Your the best thing I ever knew
you'll do everything that I cant do
sometimes I get lost in my blue
please forgive me if I'm hard on you
please forgive me if I'm hard on you

all right

you and me got so much to prove
your the only thing that I cant loose
the nights are peacful here in our room
please forgive me if I'm hard on you
please forgive me if I'm hard on you

oh, what the hell, she says, I just canât win for losing
And she lays back down
Man thereâs so many times I donât know what Iâm doing
Like I donât know now

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Says itâs funny how the night can make you blind
Well, I can just imagine
And I donât know what Iâm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too

here we stand
somewhere in between this moment and the end
will we bend?
or will we open up and take this whole thing in?
everybody else is smiling and their smiles dont fade
and you dont even wonder why you just dont think that way
maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we aint meant for this love

this is not the life i promised you before
i can feel them running chains around our door
and i'm coming to the end of what i'm for
but i will pull myself together, i am sure

i will run for you until i start to drop
i will breathe your breath until you tell me stop
we will see the ending of another sunny day
and we'll wait at home until the next one drops

-CHORUS-

Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it, I bearly started now I'm falling apart,
and it's hard

Standing at the crossroads
but having all the answers, never helped me out no
all the better Boom shake, helps me awake
I need some coffee and maybe a shave
And it's a pretty bad way to start my today

-CHORUS-
i think we're snowblind
we've had a hard time
and we can't see where we are
spending our whole lives walking the same lines
and it doesn't seem to stop

this is our life
it's all that we get
the days are all numbered
and the nights are all spent
losing our focus
we're starting to drag
we're running in circles
and we start to feel bad

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday weâll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday weâll live our lives out loud

i should have never let you go (always another)
i need this more than you will know, but there's always another
a million byways and highways and there's always another
someone else to pay your way and try to take your innocence
there's always heartbreak

-CHORUS-
i hold steady while you're shaking me loose
you keep breaking me down but i still ain't over you

look at me i'm made of wonderful
wonderful
i'm all easy breath and steady walk
steady walking
but underneath i'm barely moving, no
its like i'm nothing
all the ways they have to make me smile and then they go and break me

-CHORUS-
wait, i think i feel like hell
though i can't be myself
and i can't be nobody else but if i could
would you love me then?
