The Living End – Lyrics

Album – The Living End

Living End

Doesn’t matter where you go
Everywhere’s the same you know
We all bring out what we brought in

London’s bound to Tokyo
People are the same you know
We play the game and we fit in

So throw out the cards
Just throw out the cards
This world is the living end
Help yourself you are in
Any moment it can all begin
It’s all there for you
It’s all meant for you

Sometimes you just don’t get it
From the one you want
Sometimes you take it any way you can
I try so hard to make it come out alright
I try so hard again and again and again

This world is the living end
Help yourself find a friend
Any moment it can all begin
It’s all there for you
It’s all meant for you

Hey can you feel it
There’s nothing to hold back
There is nothing left for you to lose

And hey when you feel it
There’s nothing that you lack
Embrace it while you can
This world is the living end
This world is the living end

So throw out the cards
Over and over again
This world is the living end
Help yourself find a friend
Any moment it can all begin
It’s all there for you
It’s all meant for you

This world is the living end
This world is the living end
There is nothing to pretend
This world is the living end
I want to live till the living end
There is nothing to pretend
I want to live till the living end

Hard On You

I didn’t mean to make it hard on you
But there was really nothing
Left for me to do
So when you’re feeling hurt inside
Think of all those tears you never cried
I cannot begin to hide my thoughts of you

It’s not that easy just to slip away
Just pretend that it’s a brand new day
When I feel that signal from your heart
I can’t find anywhere to start
And I can’t see living life apart
From you today

And it’s hard on you
And it’s hard it’s hard on me
It’s hard to separate the two of us
Hard for me to set you free
And it’s hard on you
And it’s hard it’s hard on me
It’s hard to separate the two of us once again
Just become you and me

I never thought that it would end this way
Still it feels like any other day
I seem to feel the same as you
And tears don’t hide my point of view
I’ve lost part of me in you
And you’re in me to stay

And it’s hard on you
And it’s hard it’s hard on me
It’s hard to separate the two of us
Hard for me to set you free
And it’s hard on you
And it’s hard it’s hard on me
It’s hard to separate the two of us once again
Just become you and me

We always thought nothing would ever come between us
Not what’s his name or miss so and so
And when I looked at you your eyes were bright as Venus
That all seems a million years ago

Oh the world is such a mystery
With so many places left to see
When you find you wind up all alone
Without a friend far from home
My love’s one thing you’ll always own
Remember me

And it’s hard on you
And it’s hard it’s hard on me
It’s hard to separate the two of us
Hard for me to set you free
And it’s hard on you
And it’s hard it’s hard on me
It’s just something we gotta do
Just to be you and me

Blackheart

Rip it up don’t talk to me
I just don’t mind if we disagree
What you have to offer me
Is one thing I don’t need now
Can’t hope to make you see
Force some stupid destiny
Can’t even cover for me now

Those days are gone and life goes on
No matter what we do
You were the one to put me on
This twisted point of view
Your blackheart shined
There was a time when mine did too

I dream of the Indians
How they came and went
On a mere 5 cents
If they were here again
Would the wild west still be won
I think of yesterday
We held all the cards
They were ours to play
No big deal which way they’d run

Those days are gone and life goes on
No matter what we do
You were the one to put me on
This twisted point of view
Your blackheart shined
There was a time when mind did too

I stand alone calling your name
Calling your name
There’s no one home and there’s
No one to blame
It’s always the same
I’ve done it again

No possibility
You’re too close when you’re next to me
Why do I feel so slippery
It isn’t that I’m proud
It works out too comfortably
And comfort is the end for me
Such comfort having you around

Those days are gone and life goes on
No matter what we do
You were the one to put me on
This twisted point of view
Your blackheart shined
There was a time when mind did too

Colored Glasses

The closer I get the less I find
Anybody yet truly color blind

Looking for another world
Where we see clearly all around us
Hoping for a better world
Where we’ll throw away these colored glasses

Colored glasses
Look at me through
Colored glasses
I can see you

I have no regrets
I haven’t the time
Seen a long sunset
Never watched it shine

Looking for another world
Where we see clearly all around us
Hoping for a better world
Where we’ll throw away these colored glasses

Colored glasses
Look at me through
Colored glasses
I can see you
Colored glasses

Changing putting them on
Now I know I’m where I belong
These walls are keeping me warm
Now I don’t go out anymore

Looking for another world
Where we see clearly all around us
Hoping for a better world
Where we’ll throw away these colored glasses

Colored glasses
Look at me through
Colored glasses
I can see you

Counting

They say save for tomorrow save
But the night is much too long
I can’t wait for another day
I can’t hold you off that long

In this game that we seem to play in
I’m just working up to speed
Though I’ve finally found the way in
I don’t want to take the lead

Everything we gain
Goes as easy as it came
When you said I want you more
I said I don’t know what’s in store
I’m sure you’ll even up the score
But then who’s counting

Will the challenging go on
Without fear we disagree
Till the final round is won
And we are history

Everything we gain
Goes as easy as it came
When you said I want you more
I said I don’t know what’s in store
I’m sure you’ll even up the score
But then who’s counting

Will you take me to a point of no return
If you break me will I learn

Everything we gained
Goes as easy as it came
When you said I want you more
I said I don’t know what’s in store
I’m sure you’ll even up the score
But then who’s counting

When you said I want you more
I said I don’t know what’s in store
I’m sure you’ll even up the score
The pressure’s mounting

19 Again

I wear my hair back straight and long
I’m anywhere I don’t belong
I’m never right but I’m never wrong
Spring has passed and summer’s coming on

Cause I’m 19 again
Yes I’m 19 again
I don’t care about tomorrow
Cause I’m 19 again

My days are long my nights are longer
And every day I get much stronger
I might find out what’s goin’ on
Before my time has come and gone

Cause I’m 19 again
Yes I’m 19 again
I don’t think about the future
Cause I’m 19 again

I don’t care about the government
Who they are or what they spent
All I know’s I keep on moving on
Doesn’t matter what we say
They don’t listen anyway
Might as well go back where we belong

I face new problems every day
Just looking for a better way
And if my efforts go unsung
Then youth is wasted on the young

Cause I’m 19 again
Yes I’m 19 again
I don’t care about tomorrow
Cause I’m 19 again

Nothing to do and nothing to do about it

Brand New Day

I was waiting for the thunder
All alone here on a Tuesday afternoon
Looks like someone’s got my number
I keep thinking that those clouds will be here soon

Might give it a try
It’s hard to stay dry
All I need is a brand new day
Nothing up my sleeve
But I’m on my way
It’s ok I know I’m not dreaming

I was staring at the stoplight
You were laying back and howling at the moon
I keep thinking something’s not right
I keep thinking that there’s something you could do

Might give it a try
It’s hard to deny
All I need is a brand new day
Get me up to speed
And I’m on my way
It’s ok I know I’m not dreaming

And you think that it’s so clever
And you think that it’s so wild
And you think that it’s forever
For a while

Might give it a try
It’s hard to deny
All I need is a brand new day
Get me up to speed
And I’m on my way
It’s ok I know I’m not dreaming

All I need is a brand new day
Get me on my feet
And I’m on my way
It’s ok I know I’m not dreaming

It’s a brand new day

Tumblin’ Down

You’re just another year older
Feels like you’re on the way down
You’re looking over your shoulder
When you were once the one
With time to spare

Wait a minute
Feels like it’s changed
Did I have to stay and have a big year
Did I have to say I’d come a long way down
To have you there

And you see that I’m now part of your past
And things once familiar
And I saw through the cracks and I found out
Certain things last and nothing else matters
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down

You got a right to believe it
Feels like you’re on the way down
You tried so hard not to see it
When you were young and I was there

Wait a minute
Feels like it’s changed
Did I have to stay and have a big year
Did I have to say I’d come a long way down
To have you care

Cause you see that I’m now part of your past
And things once familiar
And I saw through the cracks and I found out
Certain things last and nothing else matters
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down

You’re just another year older
Feels like you’re on the way down
You’re looking over your shoulder
It all comes tumblin’ down

Cause you see I’m now part of your past
And things once familiar
And I saw through the cracks and I found out
Certain things last and nothing else matters
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down
