Open Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I really don't know what I'm doing here

I really think I should've gone to bed tonight

But just one drink and there are some people to meet you

I think that you'll like them, I have to say, we do tonight

I promise in less than an hour, we will honestly go

Now why don't I just get you another

While you just say hello

Yeah, just say hello

Just say hello

[Verse 2]

So I'm clutching it tight, another glass in my hand

And my mouth and the smiles moving up as I stand up

Too close and too wide and the smiles are too bright

And I breathe in too deep and my head's getting light

But the air is getting heavier and it's closer

I'm starting to sway

And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names

And won't go away

So here I go

Here I go again

[Bridge 1]

Falling into strangers and it's only just eleven

I'm staring like a child until someone slips me Heaven

Take it on my knees just like a thousand times before

I get transfixed, that fixed

And I'm just looking at the floor

Just looking at the floor

Yeah, I look at the floor

[Verse 3]

I'm starting to laugh like an animal in pain

I've got blood on my hands, I've got hands in my brain

The first shot of retch leaves me gasping for more

I stagger over screaming on my way to the floor

And I'm back on my back

With the lights and the lies in my eyes

And the colour and the music's too loud

And my head's all the wrong size

So here I go, here I go again

[Bridge 2]

Yeah, I laugh and I jump, and I sing and I laugh

And I dance and I laugh, and I laugh and I laugh

And I can't seem to think where this is

Who I am, why I'm keeping this going

Keep pouring it out, keep pouring it down

Keeping it going, keep pouring it down

And the way the rain comes down hard

That's the way I feel inside

[Verse 4]

I can't take it anymore, this it I've become

This is it like I get when my life's going numb

I just keep moving my mouth, I just keep moving my feet

I say, "I'm loving you to death like I'm losing my breath"

And all the smiles that I wear and all the games that I play

And all the drinks that I mix and I drink until I'm sick

And all the faces I make and all the shapes that I throw

And all the people I meet and all the words that I know

Makes me sick to the heart, oh, I feel so tired

And the rain comes down hard

That's how I feel inside

[Outro]

And the rain comes down hard

That's how I feel inside

And the rain comes down hard

That's how I feel inside

High Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I see you sky as a kite

As high as I might, I can't get that high

The how you move, the way you burst the clouds

It makes me want to try

[Verse 2]

And when I see you sticky as lips

As licky as trips, I can't lick that far

But when you pout, the way you shout out loud

It makes me want to start

And when I see you happy as a girl

That swims in a world of a magic show

It makes me bite my fingers through

To think I could've let you go

[Chorus]

And when I see you take the same sweet steps

You used to take, I say

"I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight

I'll never let you slip away"

[Bridge]

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, na-na-na-na

[Verse 3]

And when I see you kitten as a cat (Ow!)

Yeah, as smitten as that, I can't get that small (Ow!)

The way you fur, the how you purr

It makes me want to paw you all

And when I see you happy as a girl (Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

That lives in a world of make believe (Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

It makes me pull my hair all out

To think I could've let you leave

[Chorus]

And when I see you take the same sweet steps

You used to take, I know

I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight

They'll never let you go

Apart Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He waits for her to understand

But she won't understand at all

She waits all night for him to call

But he won't call anymore

He waits to hear her say, "Forgive"

But she just drops her pearl-black eyes

And prays to hear him say, "I love you"

But he tells no more lies

[Verse 2]

He waits for her to sympathize

But she won't sympathize at all

She waits all night to feel his kiss

But always wakes alone

He waits to hear her say, "Forget"

But she just hangs her head in pain

And prays to hear him say, "No more

I'll never leave again"

[Chorus]

How did we get this far apart?

We used to be so close together

How did we get this far apart?

I thought this love would last forever

[Verse 1]

He waits for her to understand

But she won't understand at all

She waits all night for him to call

But he won't call anymore

He waits to hear her say, "Forgive"

But she just drops her pearl-black eyes

And prays to hear him say, "I love you"

But he tells no more lies

[Chorus]

How did we get this far apart?

We used to be so close together

How did we get this far apart?

I thought this love would last forever

How did we get this far apart?

We used to be so close together

How did we get this far apart?

I thought this love would last forever

Wendy Time Lyrics

[Intro]

Ow!

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot, do,do

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

[Verse 1]

"You look like you could do with a friend", she said

"You look like you could use a hand

Someone to make you smile", she said

"Someone who can understand

Share your trouble, comfort you

Hold you close and I can do all of these

I think you need me here with you"

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot, do, do

[Verse 2]

"You look like you could do with a sister", she said

"You look like you need a girl to call your own like

Fabulous, fabulous, call me fabulous"

And rubbing her hands so slow

"You stare at me all strange", she said

"Are you hungry for more?"

"I've had enough", I said

"Please leave me alone, please go"

[Chorus]

It doesn't touch me at all

It doesn't touch me, it doesn't touch me at all

[Post-Chorus]

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot, do, do

[Verse 3]

"You know that you could do with a friend", she said

"You know that you could use a word

Like feel or follow or fuck", she said

And laughing away as she turned

"You're everything but no one like the last man on earth"

"And when I die", I said, "I'll leave you it all"

Door closes, leaves me cold

[Chorus]

It doesn't touch me at all

It doesn't touch me, it doesn't touch me at all

[Post-Chorus]

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot, do, do

[Outro]

It doesn't touch me

It doesn't touch me at all

It doesn't touch me

It doesn't touch me at all

It doesn't touch me

It doesn't touch me at all

It doesn't touch me

It doesn't touch me at all

(Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot)

At all

(Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot)

At all

(Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot

Do, do, do, do-do, do, doot)

Doing the Unstuck Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's a perfect day for letting go

For setting fire to bridges, boats

And other dreary worlds you know

And let's get happy!

It's a perfect day for making out

To wake up with a smile without a doubt

To burst, grin, giggle, bliss, skip, jump, sing and shout

Let's get happy!

[Chorus]

"But it's much too late" you say, "for doing this now

We should have done it then," well it just goes to show

How wrong you can be and how you really should know

That it's never too late

To get up and go

[Verse 2]

It's a perfect day for kiss and swell

Rip-zipping, button-popping kiss and well

There's loads of other stuff can make you yell

Let's get happy!

It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck

For dancing like you can't hear the beat

And you don't give a further thought

To things like feet

Let's get happy!

[Chorus]

"But it's much too late" you say, "for doing this now

We should have done it then," well it just goes to show

How wrong you can be and how you really should know

That it's never too late to get up and go

[Post-Chorus]

Kick out the gloom

Kick out the blues

Tear out the pages with all the bad news

Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls

Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors

Oh, just burn down the house!

Burn down the street!

Turn everything red and the beat is complete

With the sound of your world

Going up in the fire

It's a perfect day to throw back your head

And kiss it all goodbye!

[Verse 3]

It's a perfect day for getting wild

Forgetting all your worries

Life and everything that makes you cry

Let's get happy!

It's a perfect day for dreams come true

For thinking big and doing anything

You want to do

Let's get happy!

[Chorus]

"But it's much too late" you say, "for doing this now

We should have done it then," well it just goes to show

How wrong you can be and how you really should know

That it's never too late to get up and go

[Post-Chorus]

Kick out the gloom

Kick out the blues

Tear out the pages with all the bad news

Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls

Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors

Oh, just burn down the house!

Burn down the street!

Turn everything red and the dream is complete

With the sound of your world

Going up in the fire

It's a perfect day to throw back your head

And kiss it all goodbye!

Cut Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If only you'd never speak to me

The way that you do

If only you'd never speak like that

It's like listening to

A breaking heart, falling sky

Fire go out and friendship die

I wish you felt the way that I still do

The way that I still do

[Verse 2]

If only you'd never look at me

The way that you do

If only you'd never look like that

When I look at you

I see face like stone, eyes of ice

Mouth so sweetly telling lies

I wish you felt the way that I still do

The way that I still do

[Chorus]

But you don't

You don't feel anymore

You don't care anymore

It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone

[Verse 3]

If only you'd never pull from me

The way that you do

If only you'd never pull like that

When I'm with you

I feel hopeless hands helplessly

Pulling you back close to me

I wish you felt the way that I still do

The way that I still do

[Chorus]

But you don't

You don't feel anymore

You don't care anymore

It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone

[Bridge]

If only you'd ever speak to me

The way you once did

Look at me the way you once did

Pull to me the way you once did

[Chorus]

But you don't

You don't feel anymore

You don't care anymore

It's all gone, it's all...

End Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I think I've reached that point

Where giving up and going on

Are both the same dead end to me

Are both the same old song

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 2]

I think I've reached that point

Every wish has come true

Tired, disguised oblivion

Is everything I do

[Chorus]

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

None of these things

[Post-Chorus]

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 3]

I think I've reached that point

Where all the things you have to say

Hopes of something more from me

Just games to pass the time away

[Pre-Chorus]

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Chorus]

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

[Post-Chorus]

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 4]

I think I've reached that point

Where every word that you write

Of every blood-dark sea

And every soul-black night

And every dream you dream me in

And every perfect free from sin

And burning eyes and hearts on fire

Just the same old song

[Chorus]

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things
