So He Begins To Lie lyrics - Bloc Party

The camera's watching

He takes a breath

Even though that they know

That he knows

That they're on to him

He don't break a sweat, no

It grows and grows and grows

Inside of him

There's nothing there

All along he knows

Those mirrors started to lie to him

His reflection faded

The crowd are waiting

He takes the stage

Cross his heart, hand on heart, open heart

That he's gone legit

He was never there, no

As easy as closing his eyes

So he begins to lie

The camera's watching

The camera's watching him lie

3x3 lyrics - Bloc Party

Three times three

First cut first

Pierce the skin

It binds us

Spit cum blood

Liquid wax

No one loves you

As much as us

By all in me that’s holy

By all in me that’s blessed

I made to you a promise

That this is forever and ever

Amen

Three times three

Lose all fear

Let the flames

Dry those tears

It takes hurt

To be pure

Now you’re one of

You’re one of us

No means no

No/Yes

Yes…

Octopus lyrics - Bloc Party

It hid and it hid in his bedroom

Psycho killer teen dream action film

Gonna show you how we get down

In my hood

Bubbling bubbling cheap champagne

Leyendecker hole wrecker feel no pain

Lying face down when I swing your way

And what?

What’s my name, what’s my name?

Mary Anna said it’s a no-go

She don’t feel like, she don’t think so

I don’t know why I feel like crying

Well come on, come on

Say come on, come on

They ran and they ran from his classroom

Roll another 40, make them scream

Gonna show you how we do things

In my hood

Tripping and a-tripping, erase all tapes

John Wayne, Rob Roy feel no pain

This is the point where you look the other way

You done

Lost your mind

Real Talk lyrics - Bloc Party

Can we get real for a moment?

You’re my one and only friend

Watch the sunset from your sedan

Let your hand rest on mine

I’ve lived in every town

But here is where I find home

My mind is open

And my body is yours

Show me the sign

Please

I was so sure, I was faulty

And not able to love

But then you crept up on me

While I was dreaming

Whispered love into my ear

I’ve lived in every town

But here is where I find home

My mind is open

And my body is yours

Show me the sign

If you’re tired

I can drive us

We can go back

To my place

My mind is open

And my body is yours

Show me the sign

Please

Kettling lyrics - Bloc Party

We smash the window

Popo don’t fuck around

As their cameras take pictures of us

We just laugh

We laugh

Because they can’t stop this

We can feel it in our bones

The future’s ours, yes it is

We can feel it in our bones

We drop the lighter into the gas

If the whole world is watching us

Let them watch us

Let them watch

They can’t stop this

We can feel it in our bones

The future’s ours, yes it is

We can feel it in our bones

Day Four lyrics - Bloc Party

It’s in the trees

It’s in the leaves

This time I know

That I’ll stay clean

Anything it gives

Anything it gives it will take back

The city’s here for you

My light burns low

And I know it’s running out

They say stay brave

But I know it will return

I’ve felt death

Rising from me

From my fingers

And out my mouth

If you’re ever lonely

If you are alone stay that way

The city’s here for you

My light burns low

And I know it’s running out

They say stay brave

But I know it will return

On the fourth day

On day four

Coliseum lyrics - Bloc Party

Got nightmare walking on two legs

There’s a word for people like us

Can’t shake the feeling

We’re moving backwards

History repeating itself

Ain’t got time to prove

Why even bother?

Just ignore the signs

Ain’t got time to lose

Can’t change the drama

In time you’ll see

The empire never ended

McSweeney draws first blood

Teeth hit the floor

Fingers twitch on the remote

The crowd want more more more

They’re waiting for the ground and pound

To turn his face into raw meat

Little Johnny turns to mommy

“This is is what I want to be…”

Because

Pain is hopeful

Pain is holy

Pain is healthy

Pain heals

V.A.L.I.S. lyrics - Bloc Party

When in motion

World is frozen

Talks in circles and Greek

He’s into epiphany

He’s into philosophy

He’s into methyl amphetamines

He’s into science

But he’s lost his way

He’s not the real me, but I can hear

I can hear, I can hear him

From my future

Show, show, show show me

You gotta show me the way

Past and present

Are superimposed

He has seen this before

He’s into conspiracy

He’s into theophany

He’s into phenomenology

He’s into deeds

He don’t mix his words

He’s not the real me, but I can hear

I can hear, I can hear him

From my future

Show, show, show show me

You gotta show me the way

Team A lyrics - Bloc Party

How many times do I have to tell you?

That these are my things

Been running your mouth

But people been listening

If you wanna throw down

We can go downtime

Any time, any damn time

Any time of the week

See I know that you’re hating

Anticipating a breakthrough

I been there, done that, over with

Ain’t nothing you can teach me

Ain’t got no time for Le Baron

Ain’t got no time for The Alibi

No we ain’t cool boy, don’t even try

I’m going to ruin your life

See we ain’t at school, snitches get stitches

You might be fast boy but I’m faster than you

So let’s make this clear, no misunderstandings

Better watch where you’re walking and watch what you say

Any time, any damn time, any time of the week

Ain’t got no time for Yo Yo, ain’t got no time for The Groucho

No we ain’t cool and you don’t even know

I’m going to ruin your life

Truth lyrics - Bloc Party

It was the truth

That fell from these lips

It blinded us

And then the darkness left

So I am yours now

Respectfully

I am yours now

Truthfully

It burnt the stain

Left on my mind

Our hearts, our hearts, they beat

A quarter tone apart

Cause I am yours now

Respectfully

Why can’t I do it?

You complete me

Our kind is hard to find

And if it will be

It will be with you

I am yours now

Respectfully

I am yours now

Truthfully

The Healing lyrics - Bloc Party

Calm down, let the world spin round

There ain’t no other place to be

Take this lifeline

Skin tears

But the flesh will weave

Back together again

Only scars now

Go easy, just be

As life gets longer

Got all the time you need

Stay with me my dear

As life gets harder

Whatever strikes, you’ll heal

You will heal

Breathe out, let it come around

Let your colours return

Turn a corner

Every time he barks

Just shut the devil out

Let these arms embrace

You know I’m down

You will heal

We Are Not Good People lyrics - Bloc Party

Think fast boy, think on your feet

If you don’t know it now you never will

You’re so young to be so heavy

Rip off the seal and let me school you

You see angels melt when they touch the ground

You see you’re not dumb, you’re just not aligned

Because you could be the one percent

If you wanna

We’re not good people

This is a warning

If God is God then why is he secret?

Today’s the day you’ve been set free

They might claim the best things are hidden

But I was here, you came to me

With these five lines you will be reborn

A superman or maybe a jock

You can crush the whole world in your hand

If you wanna

We’ve got the doorway

We’ve got the hallway

You can’t restore yourself

We’re not good people

This is a warning

Mean lyrics - Bloc Party

Sometimes when you are sleeping

I wonder what you're dreaming

I wonder about your eyes

and what they see

Yes, I know you're right

Always must win the fight

Who was I to think I'd have a chance?

What do you see?

When we're alone

Say what you mean

What do you feel feel?

Wen you turn away?

You're being mean.

Sometimes when you are sleeping

I get the strangest feeling

Of all the things I could do

whilst you lay

Gazing at your face

makes me forget my face

Who was I to think I'd stand a chance?

Leaf Skeleton lyrics - Bloc Party

The journey starts

As all around a battle rages on, battle rages on

Arjuna seeks

He throws his bow and conch up to the sky

Open your eyes, it's all around you, all around you

The pain that you're feeling

Goes some way to believing hope

The light from inside us

It goes on and on and on

On and on and on

It's in his hands

The glow of flame, the purest water, purest water

After he dies, he will rise on wings

Of true, the truest love

Open your eyes, it starts all over, starts all over

The pain that you're feeling

Goes some way to believing hope

The light from inside us

Goes some way to define us all

The pain that you're feeling

Goes some way to believing joy

The light from inside us

It goes on and on and on

On and on and on

Can you see the pattern?

Why cant you see the pattern?

Pattern

It's all around us

Black Crown lyrics - Bloc Party

Because it’s the rules

Teacher said to boy

Not my rules he says, no

Talking in Ebonics

Talking in italics

Talking talking talking talking

Just remember

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh oh-oh

Because it’s the rules

Policeman said to boy

Not my rules he said, no

Who will love the prophet?

Who will love the madman?

Who will love the genius child?

Just remember...

Angela Davis

Charlie Parker

Cassius Clay

Not my rules they said

No, no, no

Not my rules they said

Lean lyrics - Bloc Party

We took a room down by the sea

Where one day at a time we learnt to be free

I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me

It's easy

Stay easy, stay lean

If you really want to do this then come correct

Keep telling me stories and I'll keep making you laugh

I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me

It's easy

Stay easy, stay lean

There ain't nothing on this Earth

To be afraid of

The only truth we had

It's in our bodies

It's easy

Stay easy, stay lean

There ain't nothing on this Earth

To be afraid of

The only truth we had

It's in our bodies

Hero lyrics - Bloc Party

Another bad day, waste of promise

Are we really getting near?

Kick off your work shoes, rest a little

There's nothing for you to prove

Is it funny or is it sad?

We leave and enter on our own

Is it funny or is it sad?

We never really know anyone

I'm telling you my only secret

I'm so lonely, she said

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

A heaviness so relentless

An emptiness so monumental

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

Across the sea I can hear you're tired

What is there left to see?

A smash of keyboard into their faces

A silence so satisfying

I can understand why you left your home

I can understand

I'm telling you my only secret

I'm so lonely, she said

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

A heaviness so relentless

An emptiness so monumental

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two

Bleeding stars, stars and happy thoughts

Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two

Waiting for the rain, the rain to stop

Cause I'm a boy and you're a girl

And what else is there in this world?

I can make you smile, I can make you laugh

What else is there in this world?

So take my hand and marry me

I'll make your branches sprout a-green

I can make you smile, I can make you laugh

What else is there in this world?

And if you take my hand

I'll lead you to the promise land

Just call in sick, our time is now

I've got so much love to give

A vessel to receive it

Take the day off work

Our time is now

Stunt Queen lyrics - Bloc Party

Oh, Kurosawa, let's be clear, I am not your mate

I did not come to kick it, I came here to collect

So tell me something other than the money's been spent

Better stop talking

Oh, Kurosawa, let's be clear, I know all the tricks

But I did not come to gas you through, I came to get rich

So, if you want to test me, you will pick up a stitch

Better stop talking

I've got friends in high places

I know what you don't know

Been round the block a while

In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

Kurosawa, let's be clear, I am no local

See, I am not the one for your shenanigans

And if you want to try me, I will give you the most

Better stop talking

All these youth think they've changed the game

Running round my endz in their SUVs

Talking grease out the side of they neck

No one likes a grass

I don't give a fuck about Cindy Lou

If you get your mans, I'll get mine too

And I'll show you what this old-timer can do

I've got friends in high places

I know what you don't know

Been round the block a while

In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

All these yout think they've changed the game

Prancing round my ends in Huaraches and fades

A few more reps on chest day, son

If you wanna contend

See, I don't give a fuck about the Old Bill

If you ring the filth, I'll bring my goons

I'll show you what this old-timer can do

Sayonara

I've got friends in high places

I know what you don't know

Been round the block a while

In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

I've got friends in high places

I know what you don't know

Been round the block a while

In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

Two More Years lyrics - Bloc Party

In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view

Such longing for the past for such completion

What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey

I've become crueler in your presence

They say "be brave, there's a right way in a wrong way"

This pain won't last forever, this pain won't last forever

[Chorus:]

Two more years, there's only two more years

Two more years so hold on [x2]

You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear

Tears to fill a sea, to drown a beacon

To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms

To start anew all over, more enlightened

I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell

This pain won't last forever, this pain won't last forever

[Chorus]

(You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you

You don't need to find answers) [x2]

Dead weights, balloons

Drag me to you (I've become crueler since I met you)

Dead weights, balloons

To sleep in your arms (I've become rougher, this world is killing me)

[Chorus]

And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles

And we try to remember our alibis

We tell lies to our parents, who hide in their rooms

We bury our secrets in the garden

Of course we could never make this love last

I said of course we could never make this love last

The only love we know is love for ourselves

We bury our secrets in the garden

War war war war
I want to declare a war
My fist breaks your porcelain nose
There are other things that hands can do
To create or to destroy, mini gods and goddesses
First person singular
Set it set it set it off

War war war war
Keep the past the future is ours
Man made natural disaster
Blocking out all of the sun
Supermen and mitsi turbo
Speed agility super strength
Wipe the blood of those knuckles
Spark it give me two's on that

War war war war
I want to declare a war
True say blud that when we ride
We don't stop for nobody
The Africans and the Bengalis
He knows all the rude boys
Reebok Nike Adidas Puma
"Rer rer rer, this shit is long"
It's all getting, quite highly charged
Get out the way, or get fucked up

We dance to the sound of sirens
We dance to the sound

And to think, that these hands
Could work wonders, with their touch
Listening, to dead singers, in your room
In 98

We dance to the sound of sirens
We dance to the sound

Mercury Lyrics – Bloc Party

My mercury's in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about whats forgotten
Try not to worry about whats been missed
Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in a basketball court
Jonjo's in Sydney and he aint returning
Im sitting in soho trying to stay drunk

In any bar in the world
From Silverlake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love

My mercury's in retrograde

This is not the time, the tie to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about whats forgotten
Try not to worry about whats been missed
Bleeding gums and veins protruding
You're starting to hate all of your clothes
Neumayrs in LA and she aint returning
Im sleeping with people I don't even like

My mercury's in retrograde

When I say you last night
I wanted to say, run away with me
Away from the cynics
That this could be the start of
Something truly real...
But all that I could say was "hey"

My mercury's in retrograde

Halo Lyrics – Bloc Party

It was your hair that did it
It was your hair that lit the fuse
A golden brown halo
Like sunlight peering through trees
I ask you for the time, but I am asking for so much more
A moth to your light bulb, you made my heart beat faster

Paralyze me, with your kiss
Wipe those dirty hands, on me
Maybe we're looking for the same thing
Maybe you're the one who will complete me

Oh how beauty burns, lips and eyes and fingertips
The spark of desire on every point our bodies meet
Behind your eyes were stars, infinite and serene
How I would suffer for you, you fascinate and magnetize me

Sometimes I think, I would float away
If this sadness did not weigh me down

Biko Lyrics – Bloc Party

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins
Wake me up when u come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

You're not doing this alone

Resist

Trojan Horse Lyrics – Bloc Party

You used to take your watch off before we made love
You didn't want to share our time with anyone
You used to close your eyes when we kissed goodbye
You didn't want to see me draped in sadness
And now there's nothing here, now there's nothing here at all
In a loft conversion off new north road
You were here I was here there was something real here
I know there was

You know I still adore you
But in a different kind of way
You know I still adore you
But things have gotten vague
Baby I don't ask for much but things have gotten convenient
You know I still adore you but things, have kind of changed

And to think I laughed at you
For how you saw the world, with all that empty space inside your hear
I have to cling to things now, doubles and cigarettes
Forever trying to find you on the lips, of someone else

Just take me back, to the start
When your earthquake, was just cracks
You must ask yourself everyday
Just how high, are the highs

Signs Lyrics – Bloc Party

Two ravens in the old oak tree, one for you and one for me
Bluebells in the late December, I see signs now all the time
The last time we slept together, there was something that was not there
You never wanted to alarm me but I'm the one that's drowning now

I could sleep forever these days because in my dreams I see you again
But this time fleshed out fuller face in your confirmation dress
It was so like you to visit me to let me know you were ok
It was so like you visit me, always worrying about someone else

At your funeral I was so upset, so upset,
in your life you were larger than this
statuesque

I see signs now all the time that your not dead your sleeping
I believe in anything that brings you back home to me

One Month Off Lyrics – Bloc Party

Well there were 7 years between us seems that all my friends were right
That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes and a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise, not just Bethnal green
And it's just not right this waiting game, making a cuckold of me

I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time...

And it's just not like me to lash out, but enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do that I cant
Translucent and sun bleached skin, when did you get so LA
How can you desert me after all we've been through
Stuck on a dream that somewhere its better
You'll be the one missing out

I can be a cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies

Lies

If you need time...

Zephyrus Lyrics – Bloc Party

Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all
Standing in the city with the clocks counting one
And your face is still wet from the fight before
As your tears hit the ground, blue flowers spring from them
Baby, I'm ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby, I'm ashamed of the man I was for you

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we run before they do not recognise us?
So let's take this from the start, you'll be me and I'll be you
And let's try not to complain about your smoking
And my distant heart
And my distant heart
And my distant heart

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

(Too many mirrors in this house)
(And I don't like to see myself like this)
(I'm becoming the man I used to be I guess)
(These walls could tell you a thing or two)
(Things that you really don't want to know)
(Lend me your eyes for your point of view)
(Lend me your feet and I'll stand up for you)

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

Talons Lyrics – Bloc Party

And in the dark it comes for me
Malevolent and without form
Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Cold and relentless with arms outstretched

No Bolt nor brick
Nor crucifix can hold it back
I've been wicked
I've been arrogant

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
(Silent and Velvet)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I tried to stay still, so it will not see me
Its talons rake the side of my face
When did you become such a slut?

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
(Silent and Velvet)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn't think it would catch up as fast as I could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes, and when it comes, and when it comes
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

Better Than Heaven Lyrics – Bloc Party

What's with all this doom and gloom?
You used to be such, such a laugh
It's only sin, original sin
Corinthians (15:22)
Never been a big fan of things
But I'm growing so fond of you

You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore

Truth is truth
I ain't no bohemian
Much too, much too safe
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too
You can use your hands for something else
I'll take you further than the scholars can
Put down your books and molest me
Heaven is here, where it needs to be

You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it's a bore

And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world won't last I'll turn you on
Well, I've got enough for the both of us
The both of us
The both of us

And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I've got enough for the both of us
The both of us

Ion Square Lyrics – Bloc Party

Ion square, perspex swings
I breathe out, you breathe in
Permanent midnight
Our love, our love
How we've come to depend
On each other to the end
The space between us has disappeared
You finish my, you finish my words for me

I remember how it began
So many great days in a row
Barefoot on Bishopsgate
Trying to find Blake's grave
If we could stay like this in a silver foil
Trapped in amber for a life
Permanent midnight
Our love, our love

I carry your heart here with me
I carry it in my heart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart

Who said unbroken happiness
Is a bore, is a bore?
Who said it, my love? I don't mind it
Anymore, anymore
And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed
Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night
And the hunger of those early years will never return
But I don't mind, I don't mind
'Cause I love my mind when I'm fucking you
Slowed down to a crawl
Years of crime and the bread line
Have not at all dimmed your shine
So let's stay in, let the sofa be our car
Let's stay in, let the TV be our stars
I found my dancing shoes but they don't fit
All the bright lights do is bore me
They bore me

I carry your heart here with me
I carry it in my heart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart

Letter To My Son Lyrics – Bloc Party

I found myself at the point where we kissed first
on a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque

They said, they said, they said, they said
You can't go around breaking young girl's hearts
I say, I say, I say, I say, keep it casual,easy,babe

And you looked so right in that red dress

Oh, how'd I'd love to be a rock for you
To be anything you could rely on

So I'll, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
But I'll get caught out
So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try
But we forget the lines, forget the lines

And you looked so wonderful in the back of the car
Like you could start a hundred wars

See what trouble we could both cause
By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I'll leave it unto them to be a father to a son
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried

Forgive me autumn, forgive me autumn,
Forgive me autumn, forgive me autumn
Forgive me autumn

Your Visits Are Getting Shorter Lyrics – Bloc Party

I can see it in your eyes now
You have come to resent me
Condescension in the silence
Your fingers are tired, girl
How they falter against my thigh
Your kisses are pinning the lips of someone else

Your visits getting shorter
Your heart is getting farther from me
Your touch is getting colder
Away somewhere you need to be

Boys in blue blazers, boys ...
Boys in your math class, who'll do anything you ask

You're pulling the trigger and the gun is in my mouth
A subtle annoyance laced with disgust
When you get older and all those boys grow tired of you
You can come find me, I can never hate you

Your visits getting shorter
Your heart is getting farther from me
Your touch is getting colder
Away somewhere you need to be

Boys on your left side, boys on your right
Boys by your locked who'll do anything you ask

Let's spend the whole day in bed then
'Cause if we don't, you'll want to, want to leave
I try to hold something I can
I try to hold something I can never keep

Your visits getting shorter
Your heart is getting farther from me
Your touch is getting colder
Away somewhere you need to be

Boys on your left side, boys on your right
Boys by your locked, who'll do anything you ask

Flux Lyrics – Bloc Party

If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Id kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
But yet unable to reach me

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a State of Flux

State of Flux [x9]

We need to talk [x5]

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Song For Clay (Disappear Here) Lyrics – Bloc Party

I am trying to be heroic,
In an age of modernity.
I am trying to be heroic,
because all around me history sings.

So I enjoyed and I devoured
flesh and wine and luxury.
But in my heart,
I am lukewarm;
nothing ever really touches me.

At Les Trois Garcons
we meet at precisely 9 o'clock.
I order the foie gras
and I eat it with complete disdain.
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes,
but when we kiss, I feel nothing.

Feasting on sleeping pills
and Marlboro Reds.
(so busy won't save you)

Oh how our parents
they suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80s never happened.
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway.
Disappear here

Stroll the pier
into the magazine launch party.
I am handed a pill,
and I swallow with complete disdain.
Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat;
Remember to look bored.
We suck each others' faces,
and make sure we are noticed.

(Cocaine won't save you)
Because East London is a vampire,
it sucks the joy right out of me
How we long for corruption in these golden years.

Oh how our parents
they suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80s never happened.
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway.
Disappear here [x4]

Hunting For Witches Lyrics – Bloc Party

I was sitting, on the roof of my house
With a shotgun
And a six pack of beers,six pack of beers,six pack of beers.
The newscaster says, "The enemy is among us"
As bombs explode on the 30 bus,
Kill your middle class indecision,
Now is not the time for liberal thought,

So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
I go hunting for..

90's,Optimistic as a teen.
Now its terror
airplanes crash into towers, into towers, into towers.

The Daily Mail says the enemies among us,
Taking our women and taking our jobs,
All reasonable thought is being drowned out by the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood

So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll..
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
I watched TV, it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
There must be accountability
Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place

So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
I watched TV, it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
There must be accountability
Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place

Waiting For The 7:18 Lyrics – Bloc Party

Waiting for the seven eighteen
January is endless
Weary-eyed and forlorn
The Northern Line is the loudest

Sitting in silence in bars after work
I've got nothing to add or contest
Can still kick a ball a hundred yards
We cling to bottles and memories of the past

(Give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)

Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night
With the sadness of those molars
Spend all your spare time trying to escape
With crosswords and sudoku

If I could do it again
I'd make more mistakes
I'd not be so scared of falling

If I could do it again,
I'd climb more trees
I'd pick and I'd more wild
blackberries

(Give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)

Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend [x4]

Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend [x4]

The Prayer Lyrics – Bloc Party

Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies thrown in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Uniform Lyrics – Bloc Party

There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away
Every town now just felt the same
The tear on my cheek just dried up; it wasn't there
All the young people looked the same

'Cause we're so handsome and we're so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last
Make it cruel, just make me laugh
We can't be hurt, we can't be hurt

Did you forget your blues on the weekend?
The internet will keep us together
MTV taught me how to sulk and love nothing
And how to grow my hair long

'Cause we're so handsome...

Why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?
So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you?
'Cause I was brave, intelligent; I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted under the age of fourteen
...my joy and pain is relative
I've gotten so good at lying to myself

Oh!
Well my pain and honour is used up
Oh! Oh! Oh!
My guns are rusted

So when're you gonna realise
Those are not your wrongs to right?
Have another life, have another...

I am a martyr, I just need a motive
I am a martyr, I just need a cause
I'm a believer, I just need a motive
I'm a believer, I just need a cause

We're finding it hard to be alone
We're finding it hard to break the mould
We're finding it hard to excite myself
We have nothing at all to say

Uniform

There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away
All the young people looked the same

On Lyrics – Bloc Party

I am on
Switched on
A sudden clearness, a clarity
Hidden away, in every locked toilet
I've been waiting for you in the Joiners Arms
I know your name
I know your name
I've danced with you
We're all friends here
Silver slugs lined up like bullets
Rolled up twenties, they disappear

You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful

Friday night I do all the talking
A pint and a fight, the dance floor is mine
Truth serum and limbs that won't listen
Drunken "I love yous", on top of the world

And when it runs out
We're chasing something we'll never catch
And when it runs out
We buy more
A flatness so bleak, I've been bitten by a vampire
A flatness bleaker than the one it replaced

You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and stutter-free
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
I can charm
I can charm them all

Where Is Home? Lyrics – Bloc Party

After the funeral, breaking kola nuts
We sit and reminisce about the past
And in her voice, only sadness
Her only son taken from her

In every headline we are reminded that this is not home for us

The second generation blues
Our points of view not listened to
Different worlds and different rules
A question of allegiance

Clinging to her bible and her scapula
And the memory of the way things were
I don't see hope, I cannot smile
I burn with anger all the time

We all read what they did to the black boy

In every headline we are reminded that this is not home for us

Where is it?
Where is home?

I'll walk this modern tightrope
Of humility and belligerence
...
Is getting me down

I want to stamp on the face of every young policeman
To break the fingers of every old judge
To cut off the feet of every ballerina
But I can't

So I just sigh and I just sigh
And I pretend that there's nothing wrong
The teeth of this world tear me in half
And everyday I must ask myself
Where, where, where:

Where is it?
Where is home?

In every headline we are reminded that this is not home for us

Kreuzberg Lyrics – Bloc Party

There is a wall that runs right through me
Just like the city, I will never be joined
What is this love? Why can I never hold it?
Did it really run out in the strangers' bedrooms?

I
I have decided
At twenty-five
Something must change

Saturday night in East Berlin
We took the U-Bahn to the East Side Gallery
I was sure I'd found love with this one lying with me
Crying again in the old bahnhof

I
I have decided
At twenty-five
That something must change

After sex
The bitter taste
Been fooled again
The search continues

I Still Remember Lyrics – Bloc Party

I, I still remember
how you looked that afternoon.
There was only you.

You said "it's just like a full moon".
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers, they almost touched

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie

I've gone wherever you wanted

(I still remember)

And on that teachers' training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work
So monochrome and so lukewarm

And I can see our days are becoming nights.
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass.
We should have run.
I would go with you anywhere.
I should have kissed you by the water

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie

I would let you if you asked me

I still remember

Sunday Lyrics – Bloc Party

Heavy night it was a heavy night
Feels like we come back from the dead
Heavy night it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone

If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under 15s playing football in the park
Let's sit in St. Leonard's in this alcoholic day we're doing the best with what we've got

I love you in the morning,
When you're still hung-over
I love you in the morning,
When you're still strung out,
I love you in the morning,

I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox creeping when we need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers
That wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps, we're doing the best, with what we've got

I love you in the morning,
When you're still hung-over
I love you in the morning,
When you're still strung out,
I love you in the morning,

With you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest and a silent smile, a private kind of happiness
You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words

SRXT Lyrics – Bloc Party

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
I took down the posters from my wall
Left letters for you all

I remember moments of happiness
Endless summer, acoustic guitars
Being a man made me coarse
When I wanted to be delicate

I called up Eugene
Told him I was drowning

Like a castaway on a warm ocean
Waiting for a purpose to rise
They say it's not becoming
For a boy my age

If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her

"Silent Alarm" (2005)

Like Eating Glass Lyrics – Bloc Party

It's so cold in this house
Open mouth swallowing us
The children staying home from school
Will not stop crying

And I know that you're busy too
I know that you care
You got your finger on the pulse
You got your eyes everywhere
And it hurts all the time when you don't return my calls
And you haven't got the time to remember how it was
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house

I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't dream
An aversion to light
Got a fear of the ocean

Like drinking poison, like eating glass

It's so cold in this house
Come and show me how it was

We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the walls again
We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the furniture
We've got crosses on our eyes
For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse
We've got crosses on our eyes
We've been walking into the furniture

Helicopter Lyrics – Bloc Party

North to south
Empty
Running on
Bravado
As if to say, as if to say
As if to say, he doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar, he'll die a liar
Some things will never be different

Stop being so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean
So blue jeans
Gonna save the world
He's gonna

Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?

Three out of five, three out of five (it's not enough)
Six out of ten
Better luck next time
Just like his Dad, just like his Dad (the same mistakes)
Some things will never be different
Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (so wait in line)
Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault (just this once)
They're getting so much younger

Why can't you be more European
Bastard child of guilt and shame
Bury your head in the sand
I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six

Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?

It's not enough.

Positive Tension Lyrics – Bloc Party

He said you're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
He said that you're just as boring as everyone else
Nothing ever happens

Things replace things
Days replace days
Things replace things

She said I'm going use my teeth and my claws
She said I'm going use my teeth and my claws
She said I'm going use my teeth and my breasts
I'm gonna make it happen
She said

Run run run run run run
And you cannot run or ever, ever escape
You cannot run or ever hide it away
Something glorious is about to happen
The reckoning

They go you're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
They go you're just as boring as everyone else
Stuck past timing
The fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive
They go...

And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape
And you cannot hide or ever put it away
Something glorious is about to happen
The reckoning

They go...
They say...
They go...
They say...
They go...
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Success, success, success is over
Why'd you have to get
So fucking useless

Play it cool boy
Play it cool

Banquet Lyrics – Bloc Party

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into myself
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

She don't think straight
She's got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other side

Cos I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire when you come
Cos you know I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire so stomp me out
Cos I'm on fire [x4]

Blue Light Lyrics – Bloc Party

You'll find it hiding in shadows
You'll find it hiding in cupboards
It will walk you home safe every night
It will help you remember

If that's way it is
Then that's the way it is

I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes
What could I ever run to
Just tell me it's tearing you apart
Just tell me you cannot sleep

And you didn't even notice
When the sky turned blue
And you couldn't tell the difference
Between me and you
And I nearly didn't notice
The gentlest feeling

You are the bluest light

She's Hearing Voices Lyrics – Bloc Party

She's hearing voices call her
She's hearing voices warn her
She just can't sleep in her bed
She just can't sleep
She's falling down the stairs
She's tearing out her hair
She's screaming my name, in the night
To keep her warm

She got a red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Milk of amnesia

She's scared of the blacks
And she's scared of the Jews
She is walking around
She is yesterday's news
And she screams out my name
In the dead of the night
She is leaving my room
She is crying on her side
Walking on eggshells
Walking on glass
Burnt by the mirror
Burnt by the light
Feeling rejection I'll burn down your house
Tearing down posters
I was never alive

This Modern Love Lyrics – Bloc Party

To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid

Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I will be yours

I'll pay for you anytime

You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Jump right
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
Jump left

What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared of romance?

This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me

Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts
Tell me facts
Throw your arms around me
Do you wanna come over and kill some time? [x3]
Throw your arms around me.

Pioneers Lyrics – Bloc Party

If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time

We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?

A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first, we won't
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers,
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast

We promised the world, we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?

Breath in, breath out

So here we are reinventing the wheel
I'm shaking hands with a hurricane
It's a colour that I can't describe,
It's a language I can't understand
Ambition, tearing out the heart of you
Carving lines into you
Dripping down the sides of you

We will not be the last.

Price Of Gas Lyrics – Bloc Party

I've been driving, a mid sized car,
I never hurt anyone
Is that a fact?
The price of gas keeps on rising
Nothing comes for free
Make like a stone, make like a plant
I can tell you, how this ends

We're going to win this
With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels
That is how the war will be won
Just swat the fly
Taking care of cars and bodies
Nothing ever comes for me
The ghosts are here, red white and blue

I can tell you how this ends
We're going to win this

Little Thoughts Lyrics – Bloc Party

Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking try to stay up
Pay Attention to the details
We go slowly, slowly down
Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking try to stay up
Pay Attention to the details
We go slowly, down

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll Go back, b, b, b, Backwards

This world ain't just m, m, m, made of facts
Every half hour is a countdown
If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward
If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward
If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward
I haven't got the guts to stand alone

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll Go back, b, b, b, Backwards

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask me
I'LL GO BACK B, B, B, BACKWARDS!

So Here We Are Lyrics – Bloc Party

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home... home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again

Luno Lyrics – Bloc Party

And you're tired of your Mum
And you're tired of your Dad
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you

And you're tired of your face
And you're tired of your nose
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

There will be no hesitation
There will be no confrontation
There will be no indication
There will be no cause
There will be no exultation
There will be no justification
There will be no way at all

And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

Luno
Come back to me the the way you were
The way you were when we were young
I'm trying to tell you everything
I'm trying to tell you everything

I can heal the blind
I can cure the sick
I can say the right things
I can say the right things
Where d'you get so cruel
Where do you go
Cos you're never here

And your nose is bleeding
You deserve it
You've been lying to me

Plans Lyrics – Bloc Party

Wake up dreamer
It's happening without you
Cut your hair and shave your beard
You squandered your chances
I'll give you a thousand pounds
To show me how you do it
Stop being so laissez-faire
We're all scared of the future

Been training vipers to come for you
In your dreams to release you
Been training vipers to come for you
In your sleep
And the ravens are leaving the tower
And the ravens are leaving the tower
Make your peace

I've got a taste for blood
Leave the weak, leave the young
I've got a taste for blood
I'm walking out without you
You will kill or be killed
It's about progress
I've got a taste for blood

Wake up sleepyhead
It's happening without you
Such a nice guy
You tell me everything twice
Whipcrack speed jump
We will run backwards
Stop being so laissez-faire
We're all scared of the future

We make plans for big times
Get bogged down, distracted
We make plans for good times
All neon, all surface
So kiss me before it all gets complicated
I've got a taste for blood

Compliments Lyrics – Bloc Party

We sit and we sigh
And nothing gets done
So right, so clued-up
We just get old

And all the while
Been torn asunder

Nicotine
And bacteria

What are we coming to
What are we gonna do

Tulips Lyrics – Bloc Party

When you said tulips
I knew that you're mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

Were you unawares?
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in
Right from the start?
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

If you promise to let it
If you promise to let it grow

'Cos you're the one I love

Storm And Stress Lyrics – Bloc Party

Promise you'll say if it gets
Promise you'll say if it gets too much
Don't be so scared of corners
Don't be so tired of this life

You drink to laugh
You drink to cry
You wear me in
You wear me

You really suffer for it
You really suffer for your art
Don't be a martyr for it
Don't be a martyr for the cause
Your eyes tell it
Your eyes tell the truth

You drink to laugh
You drink to cry
You wear me in
You wear me

You're not always
You're not always right

A new fight for a last rite
A new fight for a last rite
You can fight a new fight
You can fight it's alright

You're the life of the party
You make my world spin around

The first time is the next time
This time is the last time
And this time is the last time
Cos this time I will fight

You're not always right

Helicopter Lyrics – Bloc Party

Skeleton Lyrics – Bloc Party

All my thoughts are of ice
All my thoughts are of ice
All my bones are so tired
All my bones are so tired
So young and so handsome
So easily led
They told me to wait
I said

It makes a man out of me
You take the fun out of me

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire

What should i have said?
What should i have done?
The horses are here
The damage is done
So just take off your shirt
And just take off your dress
We can go dancing
On a Saturday

It makes a man out of me
You take the fun out of me

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire

I'm just a skeleton

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire

I'm just a skeleton

Staying Fat Lyrics – Bloc Party

I rely on (bitter cold)
I depend on (arctic snow)
A pair of trainers (I've got mine)
Could make a God of the two of us (I want yours)

I exist on (apropos)
I insist on (arctic snow)
A change of clothing (will fill the void)
Could lift us into fidelity (will suck you in)

The sound keeps you hemmed to the past
The walls are coming in again
The streets grid alone from the door
You gotta spin the fucking dread or...

I rely on (bitter cold)
I depend on (arctic snow)
The manmade fibres (I've got mine)
That are the stuff of my birthright (I want yours)

I decide on (apropos)
I retreat from (arctic snow)
The dregs of discourse (will fill the void)
For a new world order (will suck you in)

The sound keeps you hemmed to the past
The walls are coming in again
The streets grid alone from the door
You gotta spin the fucking dread or...
In a pile of days between no oceans
All the kids are rioting
There's no art in a broken head
All the kids are staying fat

And I'm air-kissing, back-slapping
Check the body for valuables
It's called progress
Come on pilgrim sing to the pyres
It's called progress
If they want to kill themselves
Then buy them the gowns
It's called progress

Progress

She's Hearing Voices Lyrics – Bloc Party

The Marshalls Are Dead Lyrics – Bloc Party

Attention!
Unbelievers
Fashion victims
Opportunists
Blood sport
Cop killer
Don't trust art
Don't trust culture

Cancel your thoughts out forever
Milk it and strain it to residue
An insult that dilates forever
Passing from history that's made from arrangements
Of cordons and tannoys in symmetry
That cancel forever

Forever

Spring breaks in ranks and in boulevards
A country that grows us
But cannot contain us

A curse on your houses
Rivers run with your sons' blood
No case for extenuation
All the marshals are dead

The Answer lyrics - bloc party

Feeding the five thousand was not done with prayers alone
It takes blood and guts and it takes devotion
So tired of standing up and so tired of drawing breath
It's your turn to take the map and it's your turn to drop the soap

Pretty pretty boys sucking on a cola
Money to burn, money to burn, money to burn
We got rules to protect us
Isaac and Ishmael
The magazine says it's okay
Life as a billboard

If you are the answer
We are going straight to hell

Grown in a parental fugue
Weight loss in self respect
Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together
A new way into a lost answer

One More Chance lyrics - bloc party

[x2]
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
To love you

[Pre-chorus:]
So open the door and come down
Can't you see that I'm trying?
Don't say another word about the other boy
Can't you see that I'm dying?

[Chorus:]
This time things will be different
And you're gonna see
This time things will be different
Are you gonna see?
See...
These hands will become unwrapped
You love their touch again
This time things will be different
And you're gonna see
See...

[x2]
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
To love you

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

One more chance
Give me one more chance
One more chance
Give me one more chance
To love you

[Chorus]
