Our Lady Peace Album

Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Now your afraid of yourself
Over your shoulder you have to watch
Heaven fall into hell
Looks like your boat's about to sink
So it's time to prepare
Even the angels are losing sleep
And the sidewalks are bare

It's like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm
You'll get back here again
And I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
It's there then it's gone

Oh it looks like the war was in your head
Not your heart
Just when you think it's figured out
Well it all falls apart

It's like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm
You'll get back here again
And I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
It's there then it's gone

Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Looks like the war was in your head
Looks like the war was in your head
War was in your head

I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm

Are you disappointed?
And have we destroyed it I
But I've been stumbling down this long and winding road
And these times are changing
And it's complicated I
Well I don't wanna know

And I ....
Don't ask why anymore
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore, anymore

And is it getting better?
Can we live forever I
And I'm not sure what the hell we're fighting for
And does the money make us?
And will the future blame us I
Oh I don't wanna know

And I ...
Don't ask why anymore
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore, anymore

When you're tired and alone
And you feel like letting go
Come home

When you can't take anymore
When you're beat up and ignored
Come home

The sun's inside a hole
The faster you don't know
A long, long way from home
There are things you need to know
The answers leave you cold
You're a long, long way from home
And the summers coming back
And it brings a second chance
If you're not part of this
Then I don't wanna know ...

And I ...
Don't ask why anymore
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore, anymore

When you're tired and alone
And you feel like letting go
Come home
Oh when you can't take anymore
When you're beat up and ignored
Come home

Waiting by the telephone
Breathing through a giant rubber hose
God only knows
Photographs of you and me
Pictures of the friends you used to know
Where did they go?

Don't take my picture down
Don't erase everything that we had
Don't think I let you down
And I might be gone, we'll meet again
Can't find you, so I'll call your name

Riding on this satellite
Sun faded and sweaty, but that's alright
Cause I'm still alive
Always stranded in this memory
Your mouth is wide open
You can't scream
Oh you can't scream

And don't take my picture down
And don't erase everything that we had
Don't think I let you down
And I might be gone, we'll meet again
Can't find you, so I'll call your name

Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know ...

And don't take my picture down
And don't erase everything that we had
Don't think I let you down
And I might be gone, we'll meet again

Hey you
Have you felt like this before?
You got style but ain't got soul
Are you happy now?
Are you happy, tonight?
Or did Punk Rock get it right?
Is there no future in sight?
Oh is it different now? Is it different?

Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you? Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming
You're not listening...
Where are you? Where are you?
Everything I've believed in, has lied to me
But this could be the best day, of my life
The best day of my life

Hey you
Have you got everything you want?
Or do you want more than you got?
Is it different now? Is it different, tonight?
Or did Jesus get it right?
Or is the devil behind the light?
Are you happy now? Are you happy?

Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you? Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You're not listening ...
Where are you? And where are you?
Everything I've believed in, has lied to me
But this could be the best day of my life
Oh this could be the best day of my life
Ohhh sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone's waiting for our luck to change
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone's waiting, waiting

Cause this could be the best day
And this could be the best day
And this could be the best day, best day, best day

Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you? Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming
You're not listening...
Where are you? And where are you?

It's just the two of us
A silver cross
And some strength that you won't believe
See I'm not your friend
And I won't pretend
That I've come here for peace
Well I'm not afraid
I'm gonna make you pay
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face

And this is war ...
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face

The time has come
To drop the bomb
On all the pain you've been selling
See I don't like you
Or your attitude
Or the company that you keep

And this is war ...
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face
And this is war ...
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face

It's just the two of us
A silver cross
And some strength that you won't believe
Well I'm not afraid
I'm gonna make you pay
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face

It's war ...
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face
And this is war ...
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face, oh ...

And wipe that smile
And wipe that smile

Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?
This 21st century is a mess
Oh you can try and fix it
But it breaks
Oh you can try and love it
But it hates
Oh it hates

This is for everything we had
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us

And father, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost it's mind
It's our fault
Oh you can try and straighten it
It turns, it turns, it turns
Oh you can try and smother it
But it burns
Oh it burns

This is for everything we had
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us

Oh will you break my fall
Oh when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh will you bring me home
Oh when I'm barely alive
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us

This is for everything we had
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us

Oh will you break my fall
Oh when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh will you bring me home
Oh when I'm barely alive?
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
This is for us
And this is for you
And this is for us
This is for you
This is for us

It's time for forgiveness
It's time for relief
It's time that we've wasted
And it's time that we need

It's time for decision
It's time to be brave
It's the time of your life
Don't let it slip away

Boy
You'll be running but can't get anywhere
Don't carry the weight of the world, boy

It's time that we borrow
And it's time that we bleed
It's time that will cure us
You just gotta believe, yeah

There's a warning up ahead
The alarms gone off again
But the sun will fill the sky, fill the sky

Boy
You'll be running but can't get anywhere
Don't carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming I'll get you out of here
Don't carry the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world

Just when you think you're done
The war can never be won,
I, I'll be there to pick you up
And dust you off
And bring you home
And make you feel loved

Don't carry the weight of the world

And boy
You'll be running but can't get anywhere
Don't carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming, I'll get you out of here
Don't carry the weight of the world

The weight of the world
And the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world

And tonight is a fireball
And tonight oh you're not alone
And tonight we start again

You, you're me
I'm the lock, you're the key
You're the air, the air, I breathe
But tonight I'm choking

You ... are ... my ... life ...
You ... are ... my ... life ...

You, you're the sea
I'm the waves crashing
I'm the ground
The ground under your feet
I'm a liar, a thief
And I, am an apology

You ... are ... my ... life ...
You ... are ... my ... life ...

You ... are ... my ... life ...
You ... are ... my ... life ...

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

I see the world on a string
It's hanging from a wire
It gets tangled up and spun around
Like the truth inside a liar
Sometimes you wanna get high
And sometimes you run and hide
Cause it eats you up and spits you out
It swallows you alive

When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
You'll bring me back to life
You'll bring me back to life

I see the world on a beach
It's sinking in the sand
Oh it tries to suck you down with it
You better get out while you can
Sometimes you wanna scream out
And sometimes you just can't
Cause your lips
Feel like they're glued together
And no one gives a damn

When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
You'll bring me back to life
You'll bring me back to life

This is the world on a string
There's no songs left to sing
Just sing
Sing

I see the good
i see the bad
The revolution
I see the happy
I see the sad
The absolution
I see hate
And I see love
When the world's on a string

When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
You'll bring me back to life

When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (No feeling)
And you'll bring me back to life
And you'll bring me back to life

Can't get out of bed
Straighten up my head
I swear this is goodbye
I feel like lying here
I feel like dying here
And only you can save me tonight

I felt this earth spin and crash
The end of the world shouldn't come so fast

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

I feel powerless
I feel underdressed
I swear this is goodbye
I don't wanna go
I just seem to blow everything that I love tonight
I've been hiding here
I've been lying here
Watching life passing by
I want you to know
I want you to know
I'd die for you
I'd die for you

I felt this earth spin and crash
The end of the world shouldn't come so fast

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better, better, better than you

Oh everyone's losing their minds
Healthy in paranoid times
I've said all my prayers for tonight
It's never goodbye
It's never good - bye ...

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
Oh, no one will ever compare
Will ever be better, better, better than you

Better than you
Better than you
Better than you

I used to wanna dream
I used to wanna scream at the top of my lungs
Like a diamond in a ring
Or the song you love to sing
The shine is gone

Walking in circles, circles
Walking in circles
Walking in
Walking in

I used to wanna run
I used to wanna climb up to the sun
Ambition is killing me
And the new trends and the money
Oh, I feel so cheap

Ow, ow, ow I'm walking in circles, circles
Walking in circles
Walking in
Walking in

It's a feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more
Circles
See them?

It's a feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more
A feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more

And more
And more (more, more, more)
And more (more, more, more)
And more (more, more, more)

Walking in circles, circles
Walking in circles
Walking in
Walking in

It's a feeling that you know (know)
A feeling that explodes (explodes)
A feeling you want more (you want more)
And more
And more
And more

It's a feeling that you know (know)
A feeling that explodes (explodes)
A feeling you want more (you want more)
And more
And more

Fell asleep today
North Ontario
Woke up far away
A place I didn't know
A woman smiled at me
She said, welcome to my home
Life is different here she says it's not
Camouflage with gold
And hey leave the light on for me
And hey leave the light on for me, yeah

Might not make it home
I can't leave here tonight
Not afraid to live
Not afraid to die
And hey, leave a light on for me
