[Lyrics vom Album Stop All The World Now]

1. Brace Yourself

So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I would hold
Every part of you that I could hold

[Chorus]
And I'm on
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have
Enough
I'm in love again
Brace yourself now

So you feel
Anything and everything could be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I'm in no condition to be alone

[Chorus]

On and on
Sold me to your false alarm
Maybe I'll
Hold my breath and you'll be gone
With all that you have
And all that you wanted
With all that you have
And all that you wanted

So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you wanted
And I would hold
Every part of you that I could hold

And I'm on
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have
I know I'm in love again
Brace yourself now

Brace with all that you have
Brace now
Brace with all that you have
Brace now

2. Perfect Time Of Day

It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day

And you won't feel a thing
And you won't recall anything at all

Close your eyes
And take your last breath
Rest your head inside
The end is the beginning
And every point in between
Some are lost
Oh, some are lost

And you won't feel a thing
And you won't recall anything at all

Let your colors collide
All the time is so fleeting
I quit running behind
Oh, I know your meaning
You look too far
For what you want to say
And you look for
The perfect time of day

And you won't feel a thing
And you won't recall anything at all

It's the perfect time of day
It's the perfect time of day
Come on now come on
It's the perfect time of day
Come on now
Come on now come on
It's the perfect time with you
Come on with you
Ah yeah, all lost

3. Collide

The dawn is breaking
A light shining thru
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find that
You and I collide

4. Trouble In Here

All that I wanted to say
I'll never come here again
All that I wanted to say
All gone

Springtime is always in hand
Almost as if you were there
Making a hole under me again
Hold on

Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
Thing that I fear

Take all the love outta me
So I'd never see it again
Lost, where are we
On our plane
Ah, yes

Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
A thing that I share
Hold on
Thing that I fear

Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
A thing that I share
Hold on
There's trouble in here
Thing that I fear, yeah

5. Sunday Morning Song

It's not that bad
We could have died
Chalk it up to being young
Prove it was me

On a morning drive
A blurred headlight
From the corner of my eye
If only you were here right now
You'd tell me

[Chorus]
Wouldn't it be something
If everything changed
Wouldn't it be something in your way
Wouldn't it be more than
Living in your wake
If you and I would ever cease to be

Your summer dress
A late downpour
And how it caught us on the stairs
That silent song you sing to me
Keeps sayin'

[Chorus]

We bend I break
You fall we scrape
I blame it all on being older now
I'm still singin'

[Chorus]

6. I'll Take You On Make me fall down
Make me get up
And if I'm alright
Make sure I'm scared to death
Maybe I'm useless
If I just could remember
Make me feel nervous and I'll
Make you surrender
I'll take you on
Yeah I'll take you on

[Chorus]
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't
feel much better

You said it yourself
You said I'm not ready
I'm tellin' myself
But it's not sinking in
Maybe I'm new at this
Or is it just your reaction
Be my illusion and I'll
Be your distraction
I'll take you on
I'll take you on

[Chorus]

oh, would I be hurt
it wouldn't hurt to see you again
do you see what I meant
when I told you before
that I never wanted
to feel like this again, no

[Chorus]

Can we stop all the world now
Sooner or later
I'll lose all control now
When the rain stops we'll end it
Whoa, now
Nothing to fear here
In my baby's arms
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
I'll take you on

7. She Says

Sweet is the side
Of her room
Window open by candlelight
How would you know
Cold winter on the shore
Chills the dress she wore
It's on the floor
It feels so warm today

[Chorus]
And that's why I'm wondering why
You had to tell me
What's goin' on in your head
What's wrong
Come around to another time when you
Don't have to run

And when she said she wants somebody else
I hope you know
that she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and makes a sound
You'll never hear her
the way that I do

Swing into flight
Over hills
Over her hills it's twilight
Yeah, I guess it's right now
While we're here
Tell me why it's so funny
That you're so funny when you're mad
Always so mad, so mad

[Chorus]

And when she said she wants someone to love
I hope you know
she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and lets you down
I hope you know that she knows
She doesn't mean you

Yeah and I don't know where
Come and find me
I don't know what
We're coming to and
I don't know what
It means to me
And you don't know what
It means to you

We're over now
Yeah

8. Numbness For Sound

A cold winter sun
My feet underground
A pale winter city
A numbness for sound
I'll wait back here

All that you notice
A moment in time
A photograph lost here
Since you were mine
I'll wait back here

Or should I
Start pushing my way back
Yeah, should I start
pushing my way back

I walk past your room
In deep silhouette
You're tired of racing
You're down and I said
I'll wait back here
A cold end, an evening
A soaked cigarette
I'm asleep on a shoulder
That I've never met
I'll wait back here

Or should I
Start pushing my way back
Yeah, should I start
pushing my way back

Cold, and the whiskey is wearing
And I'm on the edge of my breath
Oh, and I'm thinking of leaving
I could just lay down
Lay down and freeze to death

Hey yeah yeah
Oh, hold on
Yeah ...
Hey yeah yeah
Oh, hold on

A cold winter sun
My feet underground
A pale winter city
A numbness for sound

9. You & A Promise

She was nervous she was late
She left it up to fate
Standing at the phone, oh
And she knows what she wants
And she came here to take it
How perfect it could be
You and me

And she met him at the door
"I don't want you anymore"
"Remember what you said?"

You and a promise
You and a promise
You ......

Turned and he didn't wait
He walked out thru the gate
So glad to be alone, mmm
And he knows who to call
"I'll always be there for you,
call me anytime"
"I don't mean to offend,
the voice on the other end
is a stranger to me"

You and a promise
You and a promise
You ...

And they say to themselves
And they say to themselves
How could I ever let this happen

You and a promise
You and a promise
Take me back
Or let this happen

10. End Of Our Days

Here, where they can't find us
I dare them to call me out
Or tell you
We met here on purpose
I bet they can't wait to wake us up

It's all a little bit strange
I know it's a little bit strange

Make a point and ignore them
Come on let's wait this out
They'll find out
We never stop turning
And sometimes it's tough
To change direction

I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange

At the end of a day
I'm gonna say what I mean
It's slipping all away, away
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape

I know it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange

At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say what I mean
Well I'm
At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say what I mean

Slipping all away
It's slipping all away
It's slipping all away, now
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
Oh, there's no escape
We'll escape

11. Come Lay Down

Come lay down at the edge
Come lay down at the broken edge
Come lay down at the feet of angels
Eyeing you in a northern sky

Come lay down at the end
Come lay down where the times suspended
Come lay down and hear the voices
Calling you from a northern sky

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright in all

Your eyes are open and singing
Your eyes are open
And not quite breathing
Your eyes are open
You're seeing things
That I can't see as hard as I try

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,

Don't look down
Keep your eyes off the ground
So afraid
These days will fall
Like tears down your face

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,
Follow me don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright, alright
