Dreaming Out Loud Complete Lyrics

Say (All I Need) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do you know where your heart is?

Do you think you can find it?

Or did you trade it for something?

Somewhere better just to have it

Do you know where your love is?

Do you think that you lost it?

You felt it so strong, but nothing's turned out how you wanted

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, bless my soul

You're a lonely soul

'Cause you won't let go of anything you hold

[Chorus]

Well, all I need

Is the air I breathe

And a place to rest my head

[Verse 2]

Do you know what your fate is?

And are you trying to shake it?

You're doing your best dance, your best look

You're praying that you'll make it

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, bless my soul

You're a lonely soul

'Cause you won't let go of anything you hold

[Chorus]

Well, all I need

Is the air I breathe

And a place to rest my head

Say, all I need

Is the air I breathe

And a place to rest my head

[Bridge]

Do you think you can find it?

Better than you had it

Do you think you can find it?

Better than you had it (Better than you had it)

[Chorus]

Say, all I need

Is the air I breathe

And a place to rest my head

Say, all I need

Is the air I breathe

And a place to rest my head

[Outro]

Do you know where the end is?

Do you think you can see it?

Well, until you get there

Go on, go ahead and scream it

Just say...

Mercy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?

Where did you read my story?

Pulled from the papers, desperate and hardened

Seeking a momentary fix

[Pre-Chorus]

All I wanted to say, all I wanted to do, has fallen apart now

All I wanted to feel, I wanted to love, it's all my fault now

A tragedy, I fear

[Chorus]

Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?

How did you pick me up again?

Angel of Mercy, how did you move me?

Why am I on my feet again?

And I see you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I feel you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]

Fortress of daylight, caught me on standby

Waiting to catch the quickest plane

Fly me to nowhere, it's better than somewhere

That's where I've been and nothing's changed

[Pre-Chorus]

All I wanted to say, all I wanted to do, has fallen apart now

All I wanted to feel, I wanted to love, it's all my fault now

A tragedy, I fear

[Chorus]

Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?

How did you pick me up again?

Angel of Mercy, how did you move me?

Why am I on my feet again?

And I see you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I feel you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Bridge]

A tragedy, seemed to be, but what now?

Oh, now

A tragedy, it seemed to be, but what now?

[Chorus]

Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?

How did you pick me up again?

Angel of Mercy, how did you move me?

Why am I on my feet again?

And I see you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I feel you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I feel you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I feel you

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Stop And Stare Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us

It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

[Pre-Chorus]

Steady hands, just take the wheel

Every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal

For the life I lead

[Chorus]

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here, not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can you see what I've seen?

[Verse 2]

They're trying to come back, all my senses push

Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could

[Pre-Chorus]

Steady feet, don't fail me now

I'ma run till you can't walk

Something pulls my focus out

And I'm standing down

[Chorus]

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

But I've become what I can't be, whoa-oh

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here, not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, you don't need

[Bridge]

Oh, ooh

What you need

[Outro]

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere

Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared

I've become what I can't be

Oh, do you see what I see?

Goodbye, Apathy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't sleep, no, not like I used to

I can't breathe in and out like I need to

It's breaking ice now to make any movement

What's your vice? You know that mine's the illusion

[Pre-Chorus]

And all at once (As I'm trying)

I can help you out (Just to keep things right)

I'll be what you need (I kill myself to make)

I'll do anything (Everything perfect for you)

Goodbye, apathy

So long, apathy

[Chorus]

So don't sit still, but don't you move away from here

So goodbye, apathy (As I'm trying)

So long, fancy free (Just to keep things right)

Goodbye, apathy (I kill myself to make)

I don't wanna be you (Everything perfect for you)

[Verse 2]

I don't walk right, not like I used to

There's a jump in my step as I rush to see you

I could be happy here as long as you're near to me

As long as you're close to me

Now that I'm alright (As I'm trying)

[Pre-Chorus]

I can help you out (Just to keep things right)

I'll be what you need (I kill myself to make)

I'll do anything (Everything perfect for you)

Goodbye, apathy

So goodbye, apathy

[Chorus]

So don't you stop pushing me

I can take so much

So goodbye, apathy (As I'm trying)

So long fancy free (Just to keep things right)

Goodbye, apathy (I kill myself to make)

I don't wanna be you (Everything perfect for you)

[Outro]

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Everybody is watching you

Everybody is watching me too

Prodigal Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We say "goodbye", I turn my back

Run away, run away, so predictable

Not far from here, you see me crack

Like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable

[Pre-Chorus]

And I take everything from you

But you'll take anything

Won't you?

[Chorus]

Run away, run away, like a prodigal

Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me

So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so

And you wait for me, and you wait for me

[Verse 2]

I'm on the road to who knows where

Look ahead, not behind, I keep sayin'

There's no place to go where you're not there

On your rope, I hold tight, but it's frayin'

[Pre-Chorus]

And I take everything from you

But you'll take anything

Won't you?

[Chorus]

Run away, run away, like a prodigal

Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me

So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so

And you wait for me, and you wait for me, yeah, oh, oh

[Verse 3]

Everybody wants to be right, but only if it's night or daylight

I keep tryin' to find my way back, my way back

[Chorus]

Run away, run away, like a prodigal

Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me

So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so

And you wait for me, and you wait for me, yeah

[Outro]

Run away, run away, away from you, from you, from you, oh

Someone To Save You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Patience

It took you for everything

It looked like a diamond ring

And you wore it so much longer that made sense

Apathy, in disguise, crept on you like a spy

Hurt you in ways you can't describe

[Pre-Chorus]

Back to the start now

I won't let you go this way now

[Chorus]

Honesty is what you need

It sets you free

Like someone to save you

Let it go, but hurry though

There's undertow

And I don't wanna lose you now

[Verse 2]

Alright, sit down and spill your heart

Let's start from the very start

'Cause I can see by your eyes you're wasted

Your energy comes and goes

You've taken your time, and know

Nothing can change what's happened so

[Pre-Chorus]

Back to the start now

I won't let you go this way out

[Chorus]

Honesty is what you need

It sets you free

Like someone to save you

Let it go, but hurry though

There's undertow

And I don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose you

[Bridge]

Now

Oh my, look at how your bright star's faded

So how much can you take?

[Chorus]

Honesty is what you need

It sets you free

Like someone to save you

Let it go, but hurry though

There's undertow

And I don't wanna lose you

[Outro Until Fade]

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Someone to save you

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Someone to save you

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Someone to save you

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Come Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, hello, world

Hope you're listening

Forgive me if I’m young

For speaking out of turn

There’s someone I've been missing

I think that they could be

The better half of me

They’re in the wrong place

Tryin' to make it right

But I’m tired of justifying

[Chorus]

So I say to you

Come home, come home

'Cause I've been waiting for you

For so long, for so long

And right now there's a war between the vanities

But all I see is you and me

And the fight for you is all I've ever known

So come home

Ooh

[Verse 2]

I get lost in the beauty

Of everything I see

The world ain't half as bad

As they paint it to be

If all the sons, all the daughters

Stopped to take it in

Well, hopefully, the hate subsides

And the love can begin

It might start now, yeah

Well, maybe I’m just dreaming out loud

[Chorus]

Well, until then

Come home, come home

'Cause I've been waiting for you

For so long, for so long

And right now there's a war between the vanities

But all I see is you and me

And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known

So come home

Ooh

[Bridge]

Everything I can’t be

Is everything you should be

And that’s why I need you here

Everything I can’t be

Is everything you should be

And that’s why I need you here

[Chorus]

So hear this now

Come home, come home

'Cause I've been waiting for you

For so long, for so long

And right now, there's a war between the vanities

But all I see is you and me

And the fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known

So come home, come home

Ooh
