Hello?.. it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over... everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello?.. can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger... and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference...
...between us and a million miles
'Hello' from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you 'I'm sorry, for everything that I've done'
But when I call, you never seem to be home
'Hello' from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello?.. how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope... that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret...
...that the both of us are running out of time
So, 'hello' from the other side (other side)
I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)
To tell you 'I'm sorry, for everything that I've done'
But when I call, you never seem to be home
'Hello' from the outside (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Anymore
'Hello' from the other side (other side)
I must've called a thousand times (a thousand times)
To tell you 'I'm sorry, for everything that I've done'
But when I call, you never seem to be home
'Hello' from the outside (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

I want every single piece of you
I want your heaven and your oceans too
Treat me soft but touch me cruel
I wanna teach you things you never knew, ooh babe
Bring the floor up to my knees
Let me fall into your gravity
and kiss me back to life to see
your body standing over me
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Lights go down, lights go down
I miss you, when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby, give me light
I miss you, when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby, give me light
I love the way your body moves
Towards me from across the room
Brushing past my every groove
Baby you bring your heart, I'll bring my soul
But be delicate with my ego
I wanna step into your great unknown
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Lights go down, lights go down
I miss you, when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby, give me light
I miss you, when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby, give me light
We play so dirty in the dark
'Cause we are living worlds apart
It only makes it harder, baby
It only makes it harder, baby
Harder, baby, harder, baby
I miss you, when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby, give me light
I miss you, when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby, give me light
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you

(some Em s only)
Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk, to the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
'Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true
But if by chance you're here alone
Can I have a moment, before I go?
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
Hoping you're someone I used to know
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young...
Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
I was scared to face my fears
'Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
And I swore you moved overseas
That's what you said, when you left me
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young...
Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young, when we were young
It's hard to admit that
Everything just takes me back to when
You were there, to when you were there
And a part of me keeps holding on
Just in case it hasn't go, I guess
I still care, do you still care?
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young...
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young, when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young

I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to be
So desperate, to finnd a way out of my world and finally breathe
Right before my eyes, I saw
My heart, it came to life
This ain't easy, it's not meant to be
Every story has its scars
But When the pain cuts you deep
And when the night keeps you from sleeping
Just look and you will see
That I will be your remedy
When the world seems so cruel
And your heart makes you feel like a fool
I promise you will see
That I will be, I will be, your remedy...
No river is too wide or too deep for me, too swim to you
Come whatever, I'll be the shelter that won't
let the rain come through
Your love it is my truth
And I will always love you
Love you, oh
When the pain cuts you deep
And when the night keeps you from sleeping
Just look and you will see
That I will be your remedy
When the world seems so cruel
And your heart makes you feel like a fool
I promise you will see
That I will be, I will be, your remedy, oh
When the pain cuts you deep
And when the night keeps you from sleeping
Just look and you will see
That I will be, I will be
When the world seems so cruel
And your heart makes you feel like a fool
I promise you will see
That I will be, I will be, I will be
Your remedy
Hmmm hmmm

If you are not the one for me
Then how come I can bring you to your knees
If you are not the one for me
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
And if I'm not the one for you
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do
Oh, and if I'm not the one for you
Why have we been through what we have been through?
It's so cold out here
In your wilderness
Now I want you to be my keeper
But not if you're so reckless
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
What are you waiting for?
You never seem to make it through the door
and who are you hiding from?
it ain't no life to live like you're on the run
Have I ever asked for much?
the only thing that I want is your love
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
It's so cold out here
In your wilderness
Now I want you to be my keeper
But not if you're so reckless, ooohh
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh, say it ain't so...
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
Oh, say it ain't so...
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on
And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young
But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man-made
I'm scared to death if I let you in, you'll see I'm just a fake
Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch
But I know that's just me 'cause nothing ever is enough
When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea
There was something in the water, now that something's in me
Oh, I can't go back
But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips
I can't go back
To the river
But it's in my roots, in my veins
In my blood and I'll slay
every heart that I use to heal the pain
But it's in my roots, in my veins
In my blood and I'll slay
every heart that I use to heal the pain
So I blame it on River lea
The River Lea, The River Lea
Yeah, I blame it on River lea
The River Lea, The River Lea
I should probably tell you now
before is way too late
that I never meant to hurt you
or to lie straight to your face
Consider this my apology
I know it's years in advance
But I rather say it now in case
I never get the chance
No, I can't go back
But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips
I can't go back
To the river
But it's in my roots, in my veins
In my blood and I'll slay
every heart that I use to heal the pain
But it's in my roots, in my veins
In my blood and I'll slay
every heart that I use to heal the pain
So I blame it on River lea
The River Lea, The River Lea
Yeah, I blame it on River lea
The River Lea, The River Lea
So I blame it on River lea
The River Lea, The River Lea
Yeah, I blame it on River lea
The River Lea, The River Lea

Take your eyes off of me so I can leave
I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me
This is never ending, we have been here before
But I can't stay this time 'cause I don't love you anymore
Please, stay where you are
Don't come any closer
Don't try to change my mind
I'm being cruel to be kind
I can't lo...ve you in the dark
It feels like we're o...ceans apart
There's so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
Ehhh..
Everything changed me
You have given me something that I cant live without
you mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt
but I don't want to carry on like everything is fine
The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight
Please don't fall apart
I can't face your breaking heart
I'm trying to be brave
Stop asking me to stay
I can't lo...ve you in the dark
It feels like we're o...ceans apart
There's so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
Ehhh..
Everything changed me
We are not the only ones
I don't regret a thing
Every word I said
You know I'll always mean
It is the world to me
That you are in my life
But I want to live and not just survive
That's why I can't lo...ve you in the dark
It feels like we're o...ceans apart
There's so much space between us
Maybe we're already defeated
'cause ehhh..
Everything changed me

I only wanted to have fun
learning to fly, learning to run
I let my heart decide the way
when I as young
Deep down I must have always known
That this would be inevitable
to earn my stripes I'd have to pay
and bear my soul
Hmmm....
Hmmm....
Hmmm....
I know I'm not the only one
who regrets the things they've done
sometimes I just feel it's only me
who can't stand the reflection that they see
I wish I could live a little more
look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my light is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother; I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a mi-llion years a - go
When I walk around all of the streets
where I grew up and found my feet
they can't look me in the eye
it's like they're scared of me
I try to think of things to say
Like a joke or a memory
But they don't recognize me now
In light of day
Hmmm....
Hmmm....
Hmmm....
I know I'm not the only one
who regrets the things they've done
sometimes I just feel it's only me
who never became who they thought they'd be
I wish I could live a little more
look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my light is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother; I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a mi-llion years a - go
A mi-llion years a - go

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like when I'm scared of what is coming next
Or scared of having nothing left
Look, don't get me wrong, I know
There is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
hold me like I'm more than just a friend
give me a memory I can use
take me by the hand
while we do what lovers do
it matters how this ends
'Cause what If I never love again?
I don't need
Your honesty
it's already in your eyes
and I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
and since you're the only one that matters
tell me, who do I run to?
Look, don't get me wrong, I know
There is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
hold me like I'm more than just a friend
give me a memory I can use
take me by the hand
while we do what lovers do
it matters how this ends
'Cause what If I never love again?
Let this be our lesson in love
let this be the way we remember us
I don't want to be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
hold me like I'm more than just a friend
give me a memory I can use
take me by the hand
while we do what lovers do
it matters how this ends
'Cause what If I never lo...ve again

With your loving there ain't nothing
That I can't adore
The way I'm running with you, honey
Is, we can break every law
I find it funny that you're the only
One I never looked for
There is something in your loving
That tears down my walls
I wasn't ready then, I'm ready now
I'm heading straight for you
you will only be, eternally
the one that I belong to
The sweetest devotion
Hitting me like an explosion
all of my life I've been frozen
The sweetest devotion I know
Ooh ho
Ooh ho
Ooh ho
Ooh ho ho ho ho
I'll forever be whatever you want me to be
I'll go under and all over for your clarity
when you wonder if I'm gonna lose my way home
just remember that come whatever, I'll be yours all along
I wasn't ready then, I'm ready now
I'm heading straight for you
you will only be, eternally
the one that I belong to
The sweetest devotion
Hitting me like an explosion
all of my life I've been frozen
The sweetest devotion I know
Ooh ho
Ooh ho
I've been looking for you, baby
In every face that I've ever known
And there is something 'bout the way you love me
that finally feels like home
You're my life, you're darkness
you're the right kind of madness
you're my hope, you're my despair
you're my scope, everything, everywhere
The sweetest devotion
Hitting me like an explosion
all of my life I've been frozen
The sweetest devotion I know
Ooh ho
The sweetest, his the sweetest
The sweetest, his the sweetest
The sweetest, his the sweetest
The sweetest, his the sweetest devotion
