Don't say that you love me
Just tell me that you want me
Just say that you want me
Just tell me that you
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited,
A little in pain? Tell me
(Tell me, Tell me, Tell me)
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart
is a suburb to the brain?
I dreamed you as a wild bird
On a wild flight through the trees
I wanna hear your wild words
Your wild voice in the breeze
Wanna drink you like a magic potion
See you swaying with the magic motion
Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret such selfishness
My pain and oh the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all, and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all
Let's go, the curtain's open
Get this show on the road
I want to feel my heart explode
No more procrastination
Tracking my feet below
Now I want everyone to know
I don't want to hold back, I don't want to slip down
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I should have done
I don't want to doubt you, know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you wishing I could run
I want to love madly
I want to love you now
You're really sweet
Mmmm you're really nice
But didn't mama ever tell ya not to play with fire
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't underestimate me boy
I'll make you sorry you were born
You don't know me
The way you really should
You sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
From the moment of my birth
To the instant of my death
There are patterns I must follow
Just as I must breathe each breath
Like a rat in a maze
The path before me lies
And the pattern never alters
Until the rat dies
You try to keep me in cages
But baby, you got to catch me first
You think your law is contagious
I'll do my best, you can do your worst
I'm leaving you, now who can I trust
You won't even see me, oh no, for dust
I'm running with the pack
Salamander
Born in the sun-kissed flame
Who was it lit your candle
Branded you with your name
I've come closer to reaching the top
Every step must be placed so that I don't fall off
Looking down to see about how much higher I am
Another cool wind comes through and brushes my skin
The harder I push the tension does grow
I gather my thoughts the further and further I go
With some luck I just might keep on climbing
So better to climb than to face a fall
Maybe I am
Hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't want to see it
The way it really is
It’s funny being funny
Makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds
Casting shadows below
I could live with so many burdens
I'd take all your hurt and yearning
But there's no way I'll let 'em take me
For their petty little woes
And I run from wolves, ooh
Breathing heavily
At my feet
And I run from wolves, ooh
Tearing into me
Without teeth
And you can follow, you can follow me
Can't keep my mind off of every little wrong
I see the mouths are open but I can't hear the song
I've done my best to fill 'em
But the cracks are starting to spread
Hey, I won't blame you baby
Go on, turn your head
But don't give up on me
'Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls
Keep stacking up
You know time will give and time will take
All the memories made will wash away
Even though we've changed, I'm still here with you
If you listen close, you'll hear the sound
Of all the ghosts that bring us down
Hold on to what makes you feel
Don't let go, it's what makes you real
If the flame goes out tonight
Yeah, we'll live until we die
