Heart

Stars Heart Lyrics
1.What The Snowman Learned About Love

How the heart bends,
and summer, she sends
a sky that refuses to die.
With the weeds of the sea
that wrap 'round our knees,
and a sun too hot to go down.

You come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around...

How the heart bends,
and summer, she sends
a sky that refuses to die.
With the weeds of the sea
that wrap 'round our knees,
and a sun too hot to go down.

You come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around.

You come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around,
you come around....


2.Elevator Love Letter

I'm so hard for a rich girl
My heels are high, my eyes cast low
And I don't know how to love
I get so tired after midday, lately
I take it out on my good friends
But the worst stays in, or where would I begin?

My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home

I'm so hot for the rich girl
Her heels so high, and my hopes so low
'Cause I don't know how to love
I'll take her home after midnight
And if she likes, I'll tell her lies
How we'll be in love by the morning
I don't think she knows
That I'm saying good bye

My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home

My office glows all night long
Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone
Elevator, Elevator, take me home

Don't go, say you'll stay
Spend a lazy Sunday
In my arms, I won't take
Anything away

Don't go, say you'll stay
Spend a lazy Sunday
In my arms, don't take
Anything away


3.Heart

time can take it's toll on the best of us
look at you, you're growing old so young
traffic lights blink at you in the evening
you tilt your head and turn it to the sun

sometimes the tv is like a lover
singing softly as you fall asleep
you wake up in the morning and it's still there
adding up the things you'll never be

alright, i can say what you want me to
alright, i can do all the things you do
alright, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you

time can take it's toll on the best of us
look at you, you're growing old so young
traffic lights blink at you in the evening
you tilt your head and turn it to the setting sun

you disembark the latest flight to paradise
you almost turn your ankle in the snow
you fall back into where you started
make up words to songs you used to know

alright, i can say what you want me to
alright, i can do all the things you do
alright, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you

the hard rock god, he never had a chance, you know
incurable romantics never do
he held a flame i wasn't born to carry
i'll leave the dying young stuff up to you

you get back on the latest flight to paradise
i found out from a note taped to the door
i think i saw your airplane in the sky tonight
through my window lying on the kitchen floor

i want more...
give me more...


4.The Woods

That day we walked a little deeper
Breathless and too alive to sleep
You always said I was a dreamer
But now I know who's dreaming deep

Take me to the woods to show me something
but I turn my face away
Touched me in the shade
but then it got dark
lets save it for another day

Oh, it's a sea of leaves
If you lose something
you can't find it again
It drops to the bottom

That day we walked a little deeper
Breathless lost and too alive to stop
I always knew you'd be the one to show me
A grove to lie in and cry into the tree tops

Take me to the woods to show me something
but I turn my face away
Touched me in the shade
but then it got dark
lets save it for another day

Oh, it's a sea of leaves
If you lose something
you can't find it again
It drops to the bottom
It was my scarf
I'll never get it again
The best scarf I ever owned
The most beautiful color blue
It dropped
you know it fell out of my hand
Hello?


5.Death To Death

wide eyed, grinning in the darkened room
sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon
coming in the morning and the afternoon
forgetting

so tired waiting for the end to come
fully dead already but forever young
hello my dearest father its your favourite son
there are things that i'm regretting

i am destroyer i am lover
i am destroyer i am lover
i love one thing destroy the other
i am destroyer i am lover

a gypsy told my fortune and i told her hers
i said you'll die up in a mountains wrapped in silver furs
you'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun
and you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun

i have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone
and nobody was listening so i wrote this song
and when you know the chorus you can sing along
you'll destroy the things you love even though--

i am destroyer i am lover
i am destroyer i am lover
why love one thing destroy the other
i am destroyer i am lover

i am destroyer i am lover
i am destroyer i am lover
and when i kiss i like to smother
i am destroyer i am lover


6.The Vanishing

Hey, wake up
C'mon, wake up

Tremor of light
The sky, a porcelain wall
Landing at Heathrow
A tuesday in the fall
You are sleeping next to me
I just let go of your hand
I hope I can go through with this
I hope you'll understand
I leave you dreaming in row twelve
Run quickly down the escalator
At customs I am first in line
You wake up, it's three minutes later

I am gone, I am gone
I am gone, I am gone

M40 nights, London a blur behind me
Leave from Heathrow after dawn, no one will ever find me
You wait for five more days
You will troll the city night
Then you make yourself forget me
I fade into the half light

I am gone, I am gone
I am gone, I am gone
I am gone (wake up), I am gone (just a bad dream, wake up)
(wake up, it's just a bad dream)


7.Romantic Comedy

it's been five years, we've had good and bad
the ivy grows thick in our dark backyard
when i shave in the morning you don't recognize me
i ask if you're still there and you answer 'truly'

don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'

you think you're so bad but you're just badly raised
you twisted and turned all the love that we made
i can not hold on and i can not let go
i was wasted at fifteen, never learned to go slow

don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'

you pick the curtains and i'll pick the sheets
silver anniversary will be the next time we meet
i loved you before and i'll love you til then
you're my foe and my brother and lover and friend

don't stay for the good stuff, there ain't none around
i'll love you and leave you and drive from this town
before i give you this ring there's one thing you should know
you have seven seconds before it's to late to go

so...!
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
don't walk away...


8.Time Can Never Kill The True Heart

One step closer to the sea wall
Looking down, you can see all
Hold my hand so you don't fall
Catch your breath as the gulls call
One heart out of two
One life: me and you
One heart out of two
One life: me and you

Last mile in the pale light
Take me home with you tonight
We'll touch 'til it feels right
You won't say 'love' but I might
One heart out of two
One life: me and you
One heart out of two
One life: me and you

Made love and you muttered 'we're through'
One heart but the mind was in two
One half filled with the dreams of a saint
The other filled with nothing but hate
I hope I die in the arms of a child
In a meadow where the thistles grow wild
One heart out of two
One life: me and you
One heart out of two
One life: me and you


9.Look Up

Your friends hold the lullabies,
they watch the way the night lies.
Soft sounds; head's like a radio,
heart's wrapped in blankets laying low,
heart's wrapped in blankets laying low...

You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun.
You fall, feeling like it's just begun.
So far, keeping it together's been enough;
look up, rain is falling, looks like love.

Your boy is like a memory,
with some sense of touch and a melody.
Your girl, she's a renegade,
a hurricane that keeps you there, safe,
hurricane that keeps you there, safe...

You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun.
You fall, feeling like it's just begun.
So far, keeping it together's been enough;
look up, rain is falling, looks like love.

You're cold, maybe you just missed the sun.
You fall, feeling like it's just begun.
So far, keeping it together's been enough;
look up, rain is falling, looks like love....


10.Life Effect

sorry for wasting your time
five long months on the telephone line
hours of asking if you were fine
and saying i was fine, too

sorry, but i've got to go
the birth was quick but the death was slow
there was so much i didn't now
so much i never knew about you

and so we disconnect
the room goes quiet around us
it's called the life effect
will it always surround us

who made you happy last night
i don't know his name, but christ can he fight
as i fell, he told me you had a light
a light that shone inside you

i found myself a decent man now
i love him because i can
the bravest that i've ever been
was when i ran away from you

and so we disconnect
the room goes quiet around us
it's called the life effect
will it always surround us

and so we disconnect
the room goes quiet around us
nothing left to protect
the end has finally found us

the day is almost over
it's almost time for bed
so now you've finally lost me
rest your weary head


11.Don't Be Afraid To Sing

Your quiet eyes
Your mouth that never tells lies
You've got one hour
It's time you told your story.

18 alone,
in love with the answer phone
and too afraid, you're too afraid to fall for anything
and too afraid, much too afraid to sing.

I won't pretend, that I can't see the end,
but its far away, it's in the distance.
We'll find a place.
There isn't room for two of us.

The minutes drag, then there's a world between us,
and I'm too afraid, much too afraid to fall for anything
and i'm too afraid, much too afraid to sing
to sing.

We all come to an end,
and we all end together

We all end together
