North lyrics

piece by piece, and bit by bit

i'll break this down for you, real slow

but i can't whisper all of this

and i can't seem to let this go

so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i can tell its your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear

and fire's a beautiful sound

and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear

while you were away, my heart comes undone

slowly unravel, in a ball of yarn

never collects it, and with a grin
our love in a ball of yarn

you'll never return it (when you come back, we'll have to make new love)

you'll never return it (when you come back, we'll have to make new love)

while you were away,my heart comes undone

slowly unravels, in a ball of yarn

you woke up, in pieces

from making these changes

and holding the ransom, wont write you an anthem

on the outside, im trying, cuz inside, im dying

this broken heart was stronger than

now i cant stand to part with this

this broken heart

you took me for granted

now im changed, you havent

it wont be so easy to sell me this feeling

if you ran to the end of the earth

i would catch you and you would be safe

if you fell down a well

i would bring you a rope and take all of your pain
all the pain, all the pain

that you hide from me everyday

if youre missing i will run away

i will build a path to you

if you're missing i will run away

just to find myself in you

I'm under attack again my dear, I'm in the way
Got no resolutions, no clever anictdotes to say
And still if I yell at the top of my lungs will it be the same?
I'd fly you a flag, I'd bury this pen into my veins

I wanna feel through you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you

The telephone number I got for you says nobody's home

This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor littering my shore
This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world
Created to destroy

But if I built you a city
Would you let me?
Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what i should have know then
But I could still be ruthless if you let me

Home, is this a quiet place where you should be alone?
Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own?
I don't know, but I can tell this isn't you, your cover's blown
Oh no, don't you dare hang up this phone.

Hey, give my space so I can breathe,
give me space so I can sleep,
Give me space so you can drown in this with me

In this place, the lonely escapade in outer space

im lost at sea, the radio is jamming, but they wont find me

i sware its for the best, and then your frequency is pulling me in closer til im home

and ive been up for days, i finally lost my mind,

and then i lost my way, im blistered but im better
and im home

i will crawl, theres things that are worth giving up i know, but i wont let this get me,

I'm on fire

And the day is feeling hopeless

You'd see me burning but the burning's turning smokeless

Soon I won't feel at all

No

It's electric the neon heard inside your phone call

The letter's sadness and her madness it revolves

Bringing down the walls where you found her

No

Well, I'm willing to break myself

To shake this hell from everything I touch

Its a good year for a murder

shes begging to jesus, she's pulling the trigger

there's no tears, cause hes not here

she washes her hands, and she fixes the dinner

two men come to rush her away
no ones so sure if her crime had a reason

reasons like seasons

they constantly change

and the seasons of last year

like reasons have floated away

away with this spilt milk

Tonight I watch the lights go out in your house

Wondering how I could get so deep

And you can still get to sleep

In vain I blame my trembling on the cold air
And I can't hide that I relied on you

Like yellow does on blue

And your my good feeling, I'm kneeling

Inside her room she paints me blue

And you are my reason for breathing

Inside her room she paints me blue

some days go by, i wish i was famous

or maybe religious, so i could go to heaven

just like you

i can have a big house, complain about taxes

payoff my ex'es, ain't that living
no one makes fun of me, cause i can't stand up for myself

woah, 21 and invincible

woah, can't wait to screw this up

and woah, 21 and invincible

i'm in power for the hour

guess today's gonna blow us away

Another lonely night in Amersterdam

And stars are coming out in waves

I miss my Miss America in Park Hotel

And I'm too stoned to call it a day

When everything you wanted

Seems to hide behind your eyes

And I'm locked in my hotel room

Thinking over our goodbyes

I will write this down for you

So you can read this

I will hold my breath for you

Till you can feel it

close your eyes, and i will be swimming

lullaby's fill your room, and i will be singing

singing to only you

dont forget ill hold your head
watch the night sky fading red

but as you sleep, and noone is listening

i will lift you off your feet, ill keep you from sinking

don't you wake up yet, cause soon ill be leaving you

soon ill be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me

Let's get drunk

You can drive us to the harbor

Wish upon a star but

Do you know what stars are?

Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape

Exploding in the face of God

Let's get crazy,

Talk about our big plans

Places that you're going

Places that I haven't been

Build my walls up

Concrete castle

Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah

Yeah
