I'm trying to get through to you
I'm tuning in to the frequency of your soul
Should I've seen this coming
Should I've known this
Shouldn't have let it happen
My mistake alright
Stuck again
Doing nothing (Doing nothing)
Too alike yet far apart
What felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again
Don't you see?
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don't you see?
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
I know it's self-inflicted
We're way too desperate
Way too addicted
But I can't help the way I feel
I know it's time to be strong
Now when all hope is gone
And when what felt so good once
Is breaking me
And tearing us apart again
Don't you see?
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don't you see?
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
And in your troubled eyes I see
Someone who carried me somehow
Like footprints in the sand
You've been behind me all along
We got it wrong from the start
Now it's you and me
Let's hit it on
Don't you see?
It's you and me against the world
We're in this together
One on one forever
We've gone a long way while learning
Still our hearts kept on burning
We've gone right, we've gone straight
and ended up far out
We've reaped the fruits of deception
Opened the doors of perception
And burned down all the bridges
we came across
When will you be whole again?
We've both been down that road
Going nowhere
Still you ask "Is love to blame?"
I'm only here because of you
And because you never left me behind
Saying thanks in my own way
I say it with a song that soon will fade away
You keep me from breaking apart
You understand the chaos in my head
Only you understand every word I say
You restore my soul and erase all hurt
The hurt that only you can take away
You keep me from breaking apart
Well he was Thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
And as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again
I hate to play my part
In this twisted odyssey
Which seems to last forever
I'm a disharmonic key
In a wicked symphony
It seems the more I hurt the better
One day you'll want me again
One day you'll love me again
One day and we will be back on track again
(Back on track again)
(Back on track again)
It's way too dark to see
I'm drained of energy
Corrupted and exploited
I've cried enough for you
You've cried enough over me
The never-ending game we play
One day you'll want me again
One day you'll love me again
One day and we will be back on track again
One day you'll want me again
One day you'll love me again
One day and we will be back on track again
(Back on track again)
(Back on track again)
I'm trying to get through to you
I'm tuning in (to) the frequency of your soul
Why won't you hear?
Why won't you feel?
I'm tuning in to the frequency of your soul
It makes no sense, you / we won't connect
The more I push the more you reject
Tell it to my face
Stab me while you can
You rip my heart open
And so we crash land again
Stumbling forward
Just a heart of gold
And a fist of glass
And so on it goes
The sharpest tool kills the fainthearted fool
Not so long ago…
(Not so long ago…)
Just blame it all on me
Would be better off being a dead man
Lay it all on me
Destroy me while you still can
Not so long ago
It backfired and you ran
In search of higher love
And a new beginning
Now you're still dwelling on the past
I'm telling you come on
I would still take a bullet for you
(Not so long ago…)
Not so long ago
It backfired and you ran
In search of higher love
And a new beginning
Now you're still dwelling on the past
I'm telling you come on…
(Not so long ago…)
Just blame it all on me
Would be better off being a dead man
Lay it all on me
Destroy me while you still can
Not so long ago
It backfired and you ran
In search of higher love
And a new beginning
Now you're still dwelling on the past
I'm telling you come on
I would still take a bullet for you
Fragile you are
And yet the strongest by far
Who's to save us now
that you've turned weak
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it in my gut
Now we've really reached
the point of no return
We've all been traumatized
We were all a part of the revolution
We call the truth a lie
Too much got lost in translation
From my heart to your ears
Transforming words to tears
As vibrations of a string
become a sound
I realize we're frail
burnt-out and pale
do you think we will ever learn to love again?
We've all been traumatized
We were all a part of the revolution
We call the truth a lie
Too much got lost in translation
(You're out there, I'm still in here
Hoping this day would never come
Now it's time to get away
I was hoping this day would never come)
Will you fight on my side?
Will you stand by me until you fall?
I'm the deaf, you're the blind
Lead me out of this maze
I'm out of time
You're out there, I'm still in here
Hoping this day would never come
Now it's time to get away
I was hoping this day would never come
(Get me out of this maze)
We got lost inside a storm
dazed and hurt we fought it through
drawn to the light both detached
heading into the unknown
Whenever you wanted me
I was there for you
and by a torch of faith
I set myself on fire
How long must I wait for you?
I just can't get you off my mind)
How long must I wait for you?
(being apart is wasting time)
There's a voice inside my head
Telling me to go on alone
That I'd stand a better chance
To get through this on my own
Whenever you wanted me
Well, I was there for you
and by a torch of faith
I set myself on fire
How long must I wait for you?
(I just can't get you off my mind)
How long must I wait for you?
being apart is wasting time)
In a garden in the house of love, sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away, I need a sister - I'll just stay
A little girl, a little guy - in a little church or in a school
Little Jesus are you watching me, I'm so young - just eighteen
She, she, she, she Shine On
Shine On
Shine On
In a garden in a house of love, there's nothing real just a coat of arms
I'm not the pleasure that I used to be - so young - just eighteen
She, she, she, she Shine On
Shine On
Shine On
I don't know why I dream this way
The sky is purple and things are right every day
I don't know, it's just this world's so far away
But I won't fight, and I won't hate
Well not today
In a garden in the house of love
Sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away
Shine On…
Shine On
Shine On
…and on… and on…
Shine
Shine On
Shine
Shine
Shine
