The Frames - The Cost (2007) by The Frames (보컬) on maniadb.com

dryin` up in conversation,still
my head was halfway round the world
and workin` through the sleepin` hours
driven by the promise of a quick return
and i wonder if she`ll be the very same
and i wonder if she`s gonna break the waves again~

tryin` just to focus on the good
i`m tired of divin` for the pearls
and every dawn is another morning less
i have to wait to wake beside that girl
and i hope she`s gonna be the very same
and i hope she can survive this wave again

and if we`re all for someone
and if we`re born for someone
when will she come, that someone
and put things in their place

comin` back to see you girl,
you know there`s nothing surer in this world
remember all the madden seasons
back when we weren`t old enough to wait our turn
and i hope we`re gonna be the very same
and i hope we can survive this wave again

and if we`re all for someone
and if we`re born for someone
when will she come, that someone
and put things in their place

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you have a choice
You've make it now

Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take
me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along

People all get ready
'Cos we're tearing down the stand
Rebuild what's gone unsteady
And see it through with newer hands
And what has gone between us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to clean us
If you're not, if you're not

People all get ready
'Cos we're breaking down again
Rebuild what's gone unsteady
And see it through with wiser hands
And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not

We have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
We have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight

People all get ready
'Cos we're breaking down the band
Rewrite what's gone already
And see it through with angry hands
And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not

And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
Just look up, just look up

We have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
Just look up, just look up

We have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight

People all get ready
'Cause we're coming to a stop

Breathing in the night
There's nothing else I'm needing now
The wind is at my side
And so you
Together we will rise
Above all these words and promises we couldn't keep
Together we will fly
Above it all now
But sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
Together we will rise
Together we will rise

Surely it's a sign now
That everything's in tune to some kind of higher plan
Yeah surely it's a sign
That you were right
There's this secret line
That we've been denied
And we're crossing it tonight
And together we will rise
And together we will rise
Sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
And together will rise
Past this light
And we'll cross it here tonight
And together we will rise

And the light you gave
You took when you were gone
It's a war that can't be won
With fists or talk or money
And there's no escape
But there's nothing I want more
But I'd better stop complaining now
I guess because

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song

And the night you came
You won me all and all
And the better part of everything
Was born to run
And the price of fame
Is that they love you when you're gone
But I better stop complaining now
It's useless because

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song

Love has been the cause
Of all this suffering
And what has been our loss
Has been it's gaining
So lay your burdens down
And stop your crying

Will we let it burn
Burn us down, burn us

Low have been the odds
Of our reuniting
And where now can we turn
When we've got nothing

Will we let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
And maybe it'll turn
Us around

I find it so hard to be true
And all these lies I'm telling you
Are little anchors in my chest
That pull us down into this mess

I find it easy to distract
Just as soon as you turn your back
I'll be gone again

I find it so hard to be true
And all these secrets, I keep from you
Are like a blackness in my heart
That only tears us both apart

I find it easy to pretend
That we're not heading for our end
That's why I'm telling you

I built a wall, I cut you off
Now there's no lies that's gonna fix this up
I played the saint and a saint I ain't
Now all the hurt is here again, here again

I find it so hard to be true
But I'm gonna try my best for you
And every distance that we've known
Will disappear before too long

And every line we've ever drawn
Will be erased before we're gone
And this I swear to you

I built a wall, I cut you off
Now there's no lie that's gonna fix this hurt
I played the saint, I cursed your name
Now there's no one but myself to blame, that you're gone

Could I have put it this way
It's wishing only
To see it's never too late
I'm feeling it work for me

And every word that you say
I got my heart out for you
And only wish that you'd wait
Till I was waving away

I know that I may have you
There's no more fire left in me
I'm breaking down all the walls
You slowly built around me

Why do you ask for my trust
When you're not worthy of it
I find it hard to adjust
Till I get it from me

There's a bad bone inside of me
All my troubles started there
And all the cracks are addin' up to be
A little more than you can bare

When I met you, you were bitter still
From a scar you're never gonna show
And I was cursed with a jealousy
That's killed every love I've ever known

And when the anger that you feel
Turns to poison in your soul
And then the scars you only feel
Will start to show

And you were naked on the balcony
And I was waitin' in your bed
You said I pleased you only partially
But I knew my hunger would be fed

And all, all my thoughts of goin' clear
And gettin' out before my time

I died with you upon a vine
I died with you upon a vine
To die with you upon a vine
To die

So if you'll lead the way
If you'll lead the way
Will you lead the way?
Will you lead the way?

There's a bad bone inside of me
