Distorted Light Beam Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It isn't enough
To start a riot
Distort the light beam
Until I like me
It isn't enough
If this is real life
I'll stick to dreamin'
Come see what I see
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like
If this is life
I'm choosin' fiction
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Call it faith (Call it faith)
Call it fame (Call it fame)
The fantasy's the same (Uh)
[Chorus]
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake mе up, don't wake me up
[Verse 2]
Levеlin' up
Delete my history
Choose how you see me
And the future's easier
Levelin' up
In here, I'm winnin'
Defeat the big boss
Game over, your loss
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like
This ain't life
I'm choosin' fiction
Ooh woah, ooh woah
Call it faith
Call it fame
The fantasy's the same (So)
[Chorus]
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
[Bridge]
Will I ever, will I ever
Will I ever wake up?
Hope I never wake up (Will I ever)
I never get tired (Will I ever)
No, no, no, no, no (Will I ever)
No, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreamin' tonight, I can be anyone
So don't wake me up, don't wake me up
[Outro]
Ooh, and when I'm dreamin', I can do anything
So here I go
No Bad Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you got the call that no one wants to have
Sick of hospitals to paper over cracks
You weren't scared at all, but never turned away
Well, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em all
'Stop!'
Stop signs, run 'em, bills, don't pay 'em, who would care at all?
Burn your money, ain't worth nothing on your curtain call
[Chorus]
There'll be no bad days, there'll be no bad days
There'll be no bad days, you'll have no more bad days
When you're gone, gone, there'll be no bad days
You'll have no more bad days
[Verse 2]
So, your future's lost, but they can't take your past
And you said, "No tears 'round here anymore"
But I ain't crying, that's you crying
Well, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em all
[Chorus]
'Cause there'll be no bad days, there'll be no bad days
There'll be no bad days, you'll have no more bad days
When you're gone, gone, there'll be no bad days
You'll have no more bad days
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Stop!
There'll be no bad days, there'll be no bad days
There'll be no bad days, you'll have no more bad days
When you're gone, gone, there'll be no bad days
You'll have no more bad days
[Outro]
No more bad days, no bad days (Bad days)
(Gone, gone)
There'll be no bad days, you'll have no more bad days
Shut Off the Lights Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I, I'm lost in my head again
Time travellin', runnin' a—, runnin' away
With darkness, my only friend
Don't wanna do this all again
You pull me back down to earth
Clothes off, your hands are on, hands are on me
Graceland-in' onto your bed, there you are
[Pre-Chorus]
In my head, there's a beat
It's the beat that you make when you're movin' your body
You prove that I can't escape
I can't escape
Got my heart in your hands
And your hands on my chest
In my chest, there's a breath
It's the breath that you take away
[Chorus]
And you said, "Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dancе"
Hey, oh-oh, you said, "Just shut off the lights, we don't need thеm to dance"
Oh-oh, oh, you said, "Just shut off the lights, shut off the lights"
[Verse 2]
We're drunk, we're invincible
No going quietly into the night
This room is our universe
You are my gravity tonight
No talk of the future now
Dark thoughts, you're shakin' 'em, takin' 'em out
This rhythm that we create sets me straight
[Pre-Chorus]
In my head, there's a beat
It's the beat that you make when you're movin' your body
You prove that I can't escape
I can't escape
Got my heart in your hands
And your hands on my chest
In my chest, there's a breath
It's the breath that you take away
[Chorus]
And you said, "Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Hey, oh-oh, you said, "Just shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Oh, oh-oh, you said, "Just shut off the lights, shut off the lights"
[Post-Chorus]
Last night, you said, "Empty your head, be here with me
Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance
Tune out the noise dor a moment"
You said, "Let's just shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
[Bridge]
Mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh-mmh
Oh-oh, you said, "Just shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh-mmh
(Oh, no, we don't, no, we don't, no, we don't, no, we don't, no, we don't, no, we don't, no, we don't, no, we don't) Oh-oh, you said, "Just shut off the lights, oh"
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
[Outro]
Last night, you said, "Empty your head, be here with me
Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance
Tune out the noise for a moment" (For a moment)
You said, "Let's just shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Stay Awake? Lyrics
[Intro]
Stop the world, I want to get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Give me the future, give me confidence, give me...
[Verse 1]
Cyberlove in an anxious age
Lord above need to get me laid
Had a taste of Euphoria
Who could blame me for wanting more?
[Pre-Chorus]
Just give me passion, give me violence, give me confidence
Give me something new to feel, uh
Now us freaks and geeks can rule, the world havе everything
Doesn't mattеr if it's real
[Chorus]
In my head, in my head, I escape with you
When my dreams run away, run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
[Verse 2]
Share our souls on the Internet
Total recall all the dumb regrets
Breaking hearts in a brand new way
Same old humans making new mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
Just give me passion, give me violence, give me confidence
Give me something new to feel, uh (Give me something new to feel)
And now us freaks and geeks can rule, the world have everything
Doesn't matter if it's real
[Chorus]
In my head, in my head, I escape with you
When my dreams run away, run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake, stay awake?
[Bridge]
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough, can't get enough
[Chorus]
In my head, in my head, I escape with you
Let my dreams run away, run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake, stay awake?
Club 57 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came to the city
Was armed to the teeth
With ideas and desires
As my only company
[Pre-Chorus]
I got the keys to the car
You got the keys to my head
You call it karma, karma
And I call it bad luck instead
[Chorus]
Well, is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or are we just craving attention?
Is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or do we just want satisfaction?
[Post-Chorus]
Is it?
Is it?
[Verse 2]
Cut to Paradise Garage
There's paint on my hands
Making art for the masses
Out of lines off of your body
[Pre-Chorus]
I got the keys to the car
You got the keys to my head
You call it karma, karma
I call it bad luck instead
[Chorus]
Uh, is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or are we just craving attention?
Is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or do we just want satisfaction?
[Post-Chorus]
Is it?
Is it?
[Bridge]
Drugs, fame, and money (Is it?), A spotlight on our subway scene
Club 57 (Is it?), the city got the best of me
Drugs, fame, and money (Is it?), a spotlight on our subway scene
Club 57 (Is it?), the city took the best of me
[Chorus]
Is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or am I just craving attention?
Is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or do I just want satisfaction?
(Is it love?) Is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or are we just craving attention?
Is it love? Is it la-la-love?
Or do we just want satisfaction?
[Outro]
Drugs, fame, and the money (Is it?), uh
Club 57, uh
Drugs, fame, and the money (Is it?), uh
Club 57, uh
Future Holds Lyrics
[Intro: Dan Smith]
Who knows what the future holds?
Don't matter if I got you, got you
Who knows what the future holds?
Don't matter if I got you
No, no, no
Don't matter if I got you, got—
Don't matter if I got you
[Verse 1: Dan Smith, BIM]
It's not about my dreams, I'll get over my nightmares
Don't wanna just wake up at the ending
Don't blink, I'll miss it all and dead boys don't remember (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
The shit we never did will haunt us (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Smith]
I can't live fast and die young obsessing over the future (Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah)
(Horizon) I come undone when you're gone just looking over my shoulder
(Behind ya)
[Chorus: Dan Smith & BIM]
Who knows what the future holds?
Don't matter if I got you, got you
Who knows what the future holds?
Don't mattеr if I got you
No, no, no (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Don't matter if I got you, got—
Don't matter if I got you
[Verse 2: Dan Smith]
No dress rеhearsal life, no refunds, no rewinding (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Don't lose sleep over the truth, we can't find it (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Their happy-ending myth, I'd settle for religion
Some champagne-popping bliss to remember
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Smith & BIM]
I can't live fast and die young obsessing over the future (Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah)
(Horizon) I come undone when you're gone just looking over my shoulder
(Behind ya)
[Chorus: Dan Smith, BIM]
Who knows what the future holds?
Don't matter if I got you, got you
Who knows what the future holds?
Doesn't matter if I got you, got you?
Who knows what the future holds? (Future holds)
Don't matter if I got you, got you
Who knows what the future holds?
Don't matter if I got you
[Outro: Dan Smith, BIM]
Who knows what the future holds? (I don't know)
Don't matter if I got you, got you (I got you)
Who knows what the future holds? (I don't know)
Don't matter if I got you (Got you)
Who knows what the future holds? (I don't know; Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Don't matter if I got you, got you (I got you; Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Who knows what the future holds? (I don't know; Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Don't matter if I got you (Got you)
