Yellowcard - Paper Walls Lyrics

"The Takedown"

I feel things changing when I move
(Its a distance, Its a difference)
I'll cross this planet without you
(and you might call this a downfall)
Its one long night that I'm passing through
(Its a dark one what have I done)
Its one long night...

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down

Left last night with a long goodbye
(We cement why, through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty, when you leave me)
What's one more?

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the broken one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down
You take me down

I won't get by
I won't heal in time
I won't get by

Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one,
Your greatest take down?

You take me down

"Fighting"

I said I'd moved on and I'd leave it alone,
But before I walk out there is something that I need you to know,
I got lost in the blink of an eye,
And I can never get back, no I never got back,
You were not there when I wanted to say,
That you were everything right and it wasn't you but me to change,
Now I got to go it alone,
But I'll never give up, no I'll never give up

What am I fighting for,
There must be something more,
For all these words I've said,
Do you feel anything

I said I'm OK but I know how to lie,
You were all that i had,
You were delicate and hard to find,
I got lost in the back of my mind,
And I can never get back, no I never got back
You were not there when I needed to say,
I hit the bottom so fast that my head was spinning 'round for days,
Now I gotta go it alone,
But I will never give up, no I'll never give up

What am I fighting for,
There must be something more,
For all these words I've said,
Do you feel anything

What am I fighting for,
What am I fighting for

Never give up on this [x4]

Said I'm OK but I know how to lie,
But I will never give up, no I'll never give up

What am I fighting for,
There must be something more,
For all these words I've said,
Do you feel anything

What am I fighting for (No I'm never gonna give up, give up)
What am I fighting for (No I'm never gonna give up, give up)

Said that I'd fight for the one that I've found,
I'm gonna stay here while I wait for you to come around,
I fight you're apart of me now,
And I will never give up, no I'll never give up


"Shrink The World"

If I could then I'd,
Shrink the world tonight,
So that I would find,
You and me inside.

A life in love,
A picture of,
A place I'm nowhere near.
A bleeding heart,
A good head start,
To anywhere but here.
Just let me out,
Please let me out,
Before I turn into a box of things,
Reminding me,
How much I'm missing out. (I am missing you.)

If I could then I'd,
Shrink the world tonight,
So that I would find,
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering.

And through the wall my fist you call and then you always run.
So what's it for, the love and war, it's only fair for some.
You saved the girl you saved the world,
Well that's not true it seems.
A lesson learned, speak out of turn,
I bite my tongue it bleeds. (Bite my tongue it bleeds)

If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering. Are you wondering?

If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering.

If I could shrink the world tonight.
If I could...


"Keeper"

I wanna love,
I wanna leave.
I want you to love me,
I want you to leave me.
I want to stand where I can see,
I'm watching you love me,
And I'm watching you leave me now.

I wish i could be,
Somebody else.
I wish i could see,
You and myself.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say,
What you really feel.
You know i need,
Something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.

I wanna know if i could be,
Someone to turn to,
That could never hurt you.
But i know what you think of me,
You had a breakthrough,
And now i'm just bad news for you.

I wish i could be,
Somebody else.
I wish i could see,
You and myself.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say,
What you really feel.
You know i need,
Something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.

I should've told you everything.
I never gave you anything.
I should've told you everything.
If i could give you anything,
Then i would tell you everything.

I wish i could be,
Somebody else.
I wish i could see,
You and myself.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say,
What you really feel.
You know i need,
Something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.

I should've told you everything.
I should've told you everything.
I should've told you everything.


"Light Up The Sky"

Your making choice to live like this,
And all of the noise,
I Am Silence.
We already know how it ends tonight,
You run in the dark through a firefight.
And I would explode just to save your life,
Yeh I would explode.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky.

I can't find a wall to pin this to,
Their all coming down since i've found you.
I just wanna be where you are tonight.
I run in the dark looking for some light,
And how will we know if we just don't try,
We won't ever know.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I'll ignite for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Just for you tonight.
Let me help you fly,
Cause you won't have time.
Cover your eyes,
Get your disguise,
They won't ask you why,
They just watch you die.

And it's still so hard to be who you are,
So you play this part,
The show goes on.
You've come this far with a broken heart,
Yeh you've come this far,
And you've broken.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I'll ignite for you,
I'll ignite for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.

And it's still so hard to be who you are,
But you've come this far with a broken heart.
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
But you've come this far with a broken...

Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky.


"Shadows And Regrets"

I'm back, back in town
And everything has changed
I feel, feel let down
The faces stay the same
I see, see shadows
Of who we used to be
When I drive, drive so slow
Through this memory

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest

I heard, heard myself
Say things I take back
If I could, could retell
And make these stories last
I see, see shadows
Of who you'll always be
I drive, drive these roads
Made of memories

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go from the rest
Shadows and regrets
We let go from the rest

Everything has changed
Faces stay the same
Everything has changed
Faces stay the same

And we were only kids
And our time couldn't end
And how tall did we stand
With the world in my hands
And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
And shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
Shadows and Regrets
We let go of the rest


"Five Becomes Four"

Needed some time
So I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I've become
What I have done
I never asked to be the one

I'm riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down
On me around
For you, I'd go again

It's gotta be
Easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down
Dragging me out
How did you end up in that ground?

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself
For what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone
With the melody
Do you close your eyes
And think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?

Try and put aside
Your history and pride
Maybe for one
Moment in time
We'll all be on your side

The story goes
Nobody knows
What it was like when you were through
Someone who cared
Out in the air
Didn't let them crash down anywhere

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself
For what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone
With the melody
Do you close your eyes
And think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?

Remember the lie
Never said I
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go?
I need to know
I waited here, you never showed
It's gonna be
Harder for me
I can't forget so many things
When you were down
I was around
Why would you try and hurt me now?
Just tell me why
Just tell me why

Did you run away?
Did you run away?
Did you run away?

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself
For what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone
With the melody
Do you close your eyes
And think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
When five becomes four
When five becomes four


"Afraid"

Lie in this empty bed
With this aching head
You left me here this morning
Now I can't remember why
I let you in again
To get under my skin
And every time you disappear
I remember

How I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

Now there's no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am
And I remember how you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move so I remember

I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

I look for you
But I can't see your face
Then I hear you
The only thing you say is
Don't look for me
Cause you will never say
You won't hear me
You won't hear me

Why do we keep this up?
Why do we live like us?
When there is nothing left to save
Will you be afraid?

I am afraid right now
You already let me down
You are the one who can't be saved
If only I could say
I am afraid right now
You never will get out
You'll never let yourself be saved
You are so afraid
You are so afraid


"Date Line (I Am Gone)"

Is this just a matter of
Me getting what I needed?
Till I was safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
And it's just a matter of
Me keeping myself seated
Till the pilot killed the overdrive
And landed in a place where you can't
Find me there
Find me there

When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
Then I am gone

I'm tired of you and me
(Tired of you and me)
And the space that's in between
(Space that's in between)
And I would rather be somewhere
With better thoughts and warmer air
I'm tired of trying to be
(Tired of trying to be)
Somebody different than me
(Different than me)
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
When the lights go out tonight, I'm gone
I'll run from here
Run

When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
And you still can't feel
When you can't escape
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone

Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
You can't find me there
You can't find me there

When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
(The hurt gets real)
And you still can't feel
(Still can't feel)
When you can't escape
(Can't escape)
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone

Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find

When the last plane leaves
And you cry for me
When you lie awake
And you feel it break
Then I am gone


"Dear Bobbie"

Dear Bobbie,
Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do.
I remember pleated skirts, black and white sattle shoes.
Do you remember dancing that night?
I do, I still think of you when we dance,
Although we cant jitterbug as we did then.

Do you remember when,
How long has it been?
1945 you opened my blue eyes,
To see a whole new life.

Do you remember when,
I told you this that night,
That if you're by my side,
When everyday begins,
I'll fall for you again.
I made a promise when,
I told you this that night.

I'll be fine.
When I die, then I die loving you.
It's alright, I'll be fine.
When I die then I die loving you,
Loving you, loving you.

Do you remember the times we would give up on each other and get back together.
Then we finally was married in 1949.
We drove the yellow convertible all night long.
Do you remember? I do.

Life has led us here,
Together all these years.
This house that we have made,
Holds twenty-thousand days.
And memories we've saved,
Since life has lead us here.

And I'll be fine.
Cause when I die, then I die loving you.
It's alright, I'll be fine.
Cause when I die then I die loving you,
Loving you, loving you.

I'm coming home to you,
Stepping off my shoes.
Resting in my chair.
See you standing there,
The silver in your hair.

I'm coming home to you,
When I lay tonight, when I close my eyes,
I know the sun will rise,
Here or the next life.
As long as your still mine, then its alright.

I'll be fine
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
Cause when I die then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you

You have gray hair now,
But you're a beautiful women,
And the years have been good to both of us.
We walk slow now, but we still have each other.
The glue of love is still bonding us together.
That is what I remember. Do you remember?


"You And Me And One Spotlight"

It won't be long now
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
Ill hold you close then
Ill let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
We are ready

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me

Ill look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we'll just have

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
So watch the world burning bright

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending

Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
It won't be long now

Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)



"Cut Me, Mick"

I can’t keep this together
And I might lose this year
I can’t get through December
And you know all my fears

Someplace somewhere behind me
I walked right through the truth
Truth is that you’re the one thing
That always pulls me through
This troubled life I choose

You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You brought me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

When I thought that I might be invincible
It wasn’t long before I was invisible
To your eyes and I swear
There’s nothing left in here
And the more you say you don’t care
The more I know you’re there

You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You brought down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

I can’t keep this together (you are the one that I need)
I can’t stay sick forever (you know that I can still bleed)
I can’t stop this disaster (you bring me down from my cloud)
I can’t fall any faster

You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You brought me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
You brought me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground


"Paper Walls"

[Kids singing:]
Let's burn a hole, so we can climb out.
Of these paper walls, and this empty house.
Don't listen too close, they're words are like guns.
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won..

Let's burn a hole, so we can climb out.
Of these paper walls, and this empty house.

We're the only thing that's real.

These visions we have of ten years ago,
Of stars in the sky and us down below.
In streets and east coast lines,
We kept this scene alive.

Here I am, still hold on to this,
Dream we had, won't let go of it,
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Don't listen too close, they're words are like guns.
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won.
Some love to hate, and some tell you lies.
So lets make a toast, and kiss them goodbye..

We'll kiss them all goodbye..

Here I am, still hold on to this,
Dream we had, won't let go of it,
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Here I stand, won't turn back again.
Won't leave you, know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Let's take what hurts, and write it all down.
On these paper walls, and this empty house.
And when our ink runs out, we'll burn it to the ground..

Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, won't let go of it,
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Here I stand, won't turn back again.
Won't leave you, know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone..

Yeah..


"Bombers"

This is the deepest cut I,
Think I have ever felt,
These are the things I think but I will never tell.
I'm trying to walk these bridges,
Burning beneath my feet,
Well I am an echo I am heard but never seen.

These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.

This is a mirror image,
Of everything I'm not,
Always reflecting what I've learned but was not taught.
If I could make things different,
If I could press restart,
Then I would hold back every breath that went too far.

These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.

Sometimes I feel like I am working in the dark,
Collecting names collecting all the mending hearts.
And if your one that I have missed along the way,
Then I'm rehearsing all the things I'd like to say.
This isn't easy for me,
This isn't easy.

These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.

These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down ,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.

Shiny Toy Guns - We Are Pilots Lyrics

"You Are The One"

Black rose & a radio fire
Its so contagious
Such something changing my mind
Im gonna take whats evil

Your cover melting inside
With wide eyes you tremble
Kissing over & over again
Your god knows his faithful
I try - to digest my pride
But passions grip i fear
When i climb - into shallow vats of wine
I think i almost hear - but its not clear

[Chorus]
You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more then in my head - your more

Spin faster shouting out loud
You cant steal whats paid for
Such something hurting again
Murder son shes painful

You so believe your own lies
On my skin your fingers
Runaway until the last time
Were gonna lose forever

When you try - don't try to say you wont
Try to crawl into my head
When you cry - cause it's all built up inside
Your tears already said - already said

You'll never be alone again

"Le Disko"

[V1]
Hello little boys, little toys
We're the dreams you're believing
Crawling up the walls
Running down your face
Razor sharp, razor clean
Feel the weapon's sensation
On your back...
With loaded guns

[B-section]
Now hold onto me pretty baby
If you want to fly
I'm gonna melt the fever sugar
Rolling back your eyes

[Chorus]
We're gonna ride the race cars
We're gonna dance on fire
We're the girls Le Disko
Supersonic overdrive

[V2]
So what's it gonna take?
Silver shadow believer....
Spock rocker with your dirty eyes
It's a chance gonna move
Gonna fuck up your ego
Silly boy gonna make you cry

[Bridge]
If what they say is true...
You're a boy - and I'm a girl
I will never fall in love with you


"Starts With One"

Starts with one
I can't feel
It's all in your mind anyway
I can't heal
Make me feel this way

Now there's two i can't see
I've never felt this way
I can't feel anything anyway

Let's show them the only way
Let's show them our hearts

Only three i can't seem
To get enough anyway
I can't speak
Nothing to say anyway

Let's show them the only way
Let's sew up their hearts

Distorted light moves in
Or am i mistaken?

It feels so cold...

There goes today
It slowly fades...slowly fades away

Here comes today
Never go...never go away


"When They Came For Us"

Why are the Robots so sad?
We're not in trouble anymore...anyway
And no more
Synthetic fighting
They stopped the lightning
After today...

[Chorus]
When they took the beach that day
They stole the children
Took them away
And I miss everyone...
But most of all the little ones
And their shiny toy guns....

Each and every one of us still pray
Hoping for evidence
..Looking for clues
All the robotic families
Searching the circuitry
For what remains

I remember mother that day
When her tears woke us so quietly
From our dreams
She told us
That fathers sleeping
And he is watching
From far away....


"Don't Cry Out"

I don't get you . .
I can't forget what you've forgotten
All along
I've never been so alone

[B-section]
Don't Cry Out
Cease Fire

I was pretending
Your secret kiss of confidence
Was my escape
The perfect game to play...

[Chorus]
Ten nine eight and I'm breaking away
I'm all dressed up and I'm ready to play
Seven six five four and I'm all over you
Counting three two one and I'm having fun...

Your fascination
With naked walls of silk and skin
With no conditions
I needed you to notice....
That's all I wanted


"Chemistry Of A Car Crash"

You're waking up
A part of me i've never known
And i've never felt
So invincible
What took you so far away?

You're lost for tonight again
That's what you wanted?
Your arms to your side again..

Just take away the words i say
Cause i know
That you don't feel the same
Just go and say
What's in your head
And i won't try to stop you

You hold the rights i'll never own
And i've never felt
So alien
Don't tear us apart again

What is the use of it
We're ok :) it's nothing . .
It's all chemistry of a car crash

And i won't try so you'll stay
This time
I won't try
And i won't change
This time i won't try
To stop you


"Waiting"

It's not what you think
If you're thinking I'm a liar
Like falling from grace--
I could do that.

And I'll be waiting all day
And I'll be waiting all day

Summer grey...
It's only
And I'll be waiting all day
It's only
And I'll be waiting all day

It's not what you think
If you're thinking I'm a liar
Like falling from grace--
I could do that.

And I'll be waiting all day
And I'll be waiting all day

Summer grey...
It's only
And I'll be waiting all day
It's only
And I'll be waiting all day


"Rainy Monday"

I don't mind
You're someone who ain't mine
But someone that I'll get
And you don't know how
Hard I've tried
To convince myself that I
Can easily forget

[B-section]
But you left this feeling
Here inside me
One that never fails to find me...

[Chorus]
On a rainy Monday
...a feeling inside me
Like the days of summer

On a rainy Monday
..I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

I won't lie
I still can't say that I
Admit we went too far
And you won't see me change my mind
But I really wish that I
Could forget the way you are

[B-section 2]
But you left this feeling here inside me
The battle in my mind still fights me

I can see that you're not beside me
But I still feel you shine inside of me


"Jackie Will Save Me"

Early morning
Summer soul and solace
The world is watching..

Vicious circle
Washing virgin halo
You're in agreement..
You can understand

Enter static
A grey mistake
So you both come crashing over ground
New machines have born their notion
What can i say...you're crazy

Jackie, what's the problem?
You're a lady
You can stop them
Where's your baby?
He's alone...

Kennedy
Your kennedy

All the constant
Super color motion
Burning senses

I think you're slipping
American coca-cola
Sugar sweetness
1963..

Jackie, what's the problem?
You're a lady
You can stop them
Where's your baby?
He's alone...

Kennedy
Your kennedy

You're a lady
Only you can stop them
Where's your baby?
He's alone...


"Shaken"

Running in circles
Chasing pain
Of yesterday
Shaken...fearful
Because I've come
Back for what is trouble
Still...

[Chorus]
I will wait it out
I will wait it out
I will wait it out
I will not be shaken

Strange calls to meet those
Who feel and know
How to give up
The stage lights
And heroes
Razor pain
Rubbed it all away, love
Still

Didn't notice it right away
Didn't notice it until it was too late
I'm gonna change my desire
For your all consuming fire
Didn't wanna cry out at night
Didn't wanna stop at mid flight
I didn't plan for the fall
When I was running from it all...

Have I no evil
Citizen Cain
Slowed-- my desperate running
Still....


"We Are Pilots"

Holding close my secrets
Naked broken pieces
-from the madness in what you do
The fingers point right back at you
What about my problems?
The people try to solve them
I guess I'm under the weather...
Since no one else belongs here, with me

[Chorus]
Hello mother,
Some news for you:)
I'm really not that crazy.
Hello father,
I'm curious?
Why you think there's something wrong with me.

Sunday I cried all night...
And it hurt so bad
But if you try to understand--

This is who I am.

Color coated sweetness
Swords beneath my clean dress
I'm making sense of shattered dreams
Because I want you to be proud of me
What about my problems?
The people try to solve them?
I guess i'm under the weather
Since no one else belongs here with me....


"I Promise You Walls"

Loneliness
Is more than we'll ever feel
Blind as you are
Watching everything
When we die
Faith is lost...
Once again
Taking hold of all we are

[Chorus]
Who says we die?
Before we live
I promise you walls of grace
...to carry on
When we're lost
..We'll find a way

Loneliness
Or should we say something more?
Oceans arise
Washing over me
Cold company
Dark shades of harmony
Chasing the lies no one believes...
