Noah & The Whale Album

It's the first day of spring
And my life is starting over again
The trees grow, the river flows
And its water will wash away my sins
For I do believe that everyone has one chance
To fuck up their lives
But like a cut down tree, I will rise again
And I'll be bigger and stronger than ever before

For I'm still here hoping that one day you may come back
For I'm still here hoping that one day you may come back

There's a hope in every new seed
And every flower that grows upon the earth
And though I love you, and you know that
Well I no longer know what that's worth
But I'll come back to you in a year or so
And I'll rebuild, be ready to become
Oh the person, you believed in
Oh the person, that you used to love

For I'm still here hoping that one day you may come back
For I'm still here hoping that one day you may come back

Well it's four in the morning,
things are getting heavy,
and we both know that it's over, but we both are not ready
and you're talking like a stranger
so I don't know what to do
and I'm callous and I'm cruel, to everyone but you

And the stars shining through our window
and the stars shining through our window
and it's been awhile since I stared at the stars
yeah, it's been awhile, since I stared at the stars

Spring can be the cruelest of months
but bringing in your life
yeah we're promising so much
like the pledge that you gave when you said that you'd always love me
but we both know by autumn you're like the color of leaves

And the stars shining through our window
and the stars shining through our window
and it's been awhile since I stared at the stars
yeah it's been awhile since I stared at the stars

Well I don't think that it's the end
but I know we can't keep going
Well I don't think that it's the end
but I know we can't keep going

cause blue skies are coming but I know that it's hard

Well, I have nothing
I have no one
I've been so quickly set free
and I love nothing
I love no one
Are words that you whisper in my mind, to someone
I don't know
to someone I don't know
to someone

So walk with me
on this new spring morning
I'll walk you 'till your fears are none
I'm a new baby weeping
I'm the flower you're keeping
that without love will wilt and die

I need your life in my life
need your life in my life
need your life

so come back to me
my darling
come back to me
my darling

I'd do anything to be at your side
I'd be anyone to be at your side
I need your life in my life
need your light in my life
need your light

You can give up anything when you're following your heart
I never had the time to show I could depart
with my whole being, go back to the start
Oh I promised more in vows then I ever give with my heart
but I'll be lonely
Oh I'll be lonely
Oh I'll be lonely
oh again

Broken hearts are a fickle thing and complicated too
I thought I believed in love but I've never seen it through
Oh I didn't marry the girl I loved
I saw my world cave in, felt like giving up
but I'll be laughing
Oh I'll be laughing
Oh I'll be laughing
oh again

I've been looking for hope these days
but loves not finding me
but now my hearts been broken there is nothing you can do
I'm impenetrable to pain
Oh, you can break my broken heart
Oh no, you can break my broken heart

[No lyrics]

(Choir)
If you gotta run, run from hope

I know I'll never be lonely
I've got songs in my blood
I'm carrying all the love of an orchestra
gimme the love of an orchestra (x3)

So now in my deepest sorrow
there's no need for despair
I'm carrying all the love of an orchestra
gimme the love of an orchestra (x3)

(Choir)
If you gotta run, run from hope

[No lyrics]

Last night I slept with a stranger
For the first time, since you've gone
Regretfully lying naked, I reflect on what I've done
Her leg still forced inbetween mine, sticking to my skin
Stroking my chest and my hair, head resting below my chin
I'm a fox trapped in the headlgihts
and I'm waiting, for the tyres to spin over me

Cos everything I love has gone away
Oh, cos everything I love has gone away

Oh the dark night is moving slower, and sleep wont resuce me
Leaving me here to suffer, this shameful misery
So I long for a taste of freedom, or at least freedom from this bed
Silently picking up my clothes, I turn on my heels and I fled
And the dark of the street is no solace to me
Oh and I dont believe my conscience, will ever be clear again

Cos everything I love has gone away
Oh, cos everything I love has gone away

You know in a year, it's gonna be better
You know in a year, I'm gonna be happy

This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can't get out of bed

I'll do anything
To be happy
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

This is the last song
That I write
While still in love with you

This is the last song
That I write
While you're even on my mind

Cause it's time to leave
Those feelings behind
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going
I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going

But blue skies are calling
Oh yeah blue skies are calling
Oh blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

We'll sing love songs about heartbreak and grief
Sing it's not just music but the pains not brief
We sing, how your love is like a knife to the back
Well I was stabbed and bleeding
but still begging for attack

But I was looking through slow, slow glass
looking through slow
slow glass

Well I heard you been singing
Well I was, what I am
Well I never tried to change you, honey I'm your biggest fan
and I loved you back then
but I don't recognize you now

Yeah in fact we're almost strangers and I don't know how,
but I've been looking through slow, slow glass
Yeah I've been looking though slow, slow glass

I will only, let you down.
I will only, let you down.
But my door, is always open.
Yeah my door, is always open.

Well i don't think, that i ever loved you.
But the world is dieing to meet you.
Oh black birds they sing off the mountains.
Joyeous love songs that drift through the houses.

But now i'm free,
Now i'm free,
Now i'm free from all your pain.

Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red,
oh your voice could summon the angels,
and your beauty, could waken the dead.

But now i'm free,
Now i'm free,
Now i'm free from all your pain.

Well you have only let me down
you have only, let me down
but my door is always open
yeah my door is always open.

Yeah i love with my heart and i hold it in my hands,
but you know, my hearts not yours. X4
