Hawk Nelson Is My Friend

Hawk Nelson Hawk Nelson Is My Friend Lyrics
1.You Have What I Need

I've tried my best to hear out the masses
I've heard it all
from A to Z
I've read it all
been to all of the classes
And still I'm tryin'
but I just can't see through the smoke
And I don't want it this confusion
I don't want a false solution
Give me something to hold on to
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need

'cause you have what I need

I know it's hard to be yourself when
you're not sure just who that is
All I wanted was satisfaction
but all I got was empty fists
Can you hear me
And I don't want it this confusion
I don't want a false solution
Give me something to hold on to
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need

cause you have what I need

All I wanted was honesty
and that was something only you give
It took forever just to realize that I had to give myself away
so I could see your face and learn how to live
I can't erase your mark
you may take every thing else away
And I don't want it this confusion
I don't want a false solution
Give me something to hold on to
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need
And I don't want it this confusion
I don't want a false solution
Give me something to hold on to
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need


2.Friend Like That

I like it simple and
I'm not a superman
I never said that I was more than that
I'm not a wanna be
I'm who I wanna be
And I intend to be
How you created me
I I need somebody on the inside
I I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me
Hey
Hey let me hear you say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you've got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Anybody got a friend like that

I once was little and
I always had a plan
You thought my friendliness was just an act
I'll be your friend indeed
And you can count on me
And I can guarantee
Your friend I'll always be
I I need somebody on the inside
I I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me
Hey
Hey let me hear you say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you've got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Anybody got a friend like that

Does anyone out there feel alone
Can anyone hear me (whoa whoa)
Down and out your heart is cold
It's never easy (whoa whoa)
But if you believe that there is hope
Then sing it with me
Hey let me hear you say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you've got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Anybody got a friend like that
Hey let me hear you say
Does anybody feel this way
Hey if you've got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Anybody got a friend like that

I I need somebody on the inside
I I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me
Hey Hey


3.Turn It On

Another Friday with the TV on
Listenin' to the same old song
How long will this carry on
Can I survive another weekend
Another night in my room pacin'
Another date with the playstation
Can't take it much longer
I just need something stronger
Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
Make it strong
sing your song to the very end
Cause tonight we're alive and breathin'
Can you hear me
everyone near me
Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
Don't turn it off
cause this feeling doesn't have to end
I want to be
where you are
please take me
Just take me
shake me

Every calendar that goes by
Makes me take a look inside
I don't wanna just live my life
I want to mean something
Just another day to pass the clock
I'd do anything to make it stop
Can't take it much longer
I just need something stronger

Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
Make it strong
sing your song to the very end
Cause tonight we're alive and breathin'
Can you hear me
everyone near me
Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
Don't turn it off
cause this feeling doesn't have to end
I want to be
where you are
please take me
Just take me
shake me

Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
Make it strong
sing your song to the very end
Cause tonight we're alive and breathin'
Can you hear me
everyone near me
Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
Turn it on
turn it on
turn it on again
I want to be
where you are
please take me
Just take me
shake me

shake me

shake me


4.One Little Miracle

I know sometimes it's hard to find
the strength to turn the page
When all of our tomorrows look like used up yesterdays
Maybe this path we're taking
Could really be the road to breaking free
Are you with me

One little revolution could turn it all around
Back to the Kingdom we once knew
Just a little bit of me
just a little bit of you
One little miracle to get us through
Broken
Broken
empty promises are all we knew before
Our father's dreams of better days
lay shattered on the floor
It's not too late to start believin'
Take me by the hand I'm reaching out
How about now
One little revolution could turn it all around
Back to the Kingdom we once knew
Just a little bit of me
and a little bit of you
One little miracle to get us through
We can right the wrong
From this moment on

One little revolution could turn it all around
Back to the Kingdom we once knew
Just a little bit of me
and a little bit of you
One little miracle to get us through


5.Let's Dance

They teach us how to talk
they'll teach us how to walk
They'll teach us how to dance just like this
They'll teach us how to dress in nothin' but the best
It's all about success
Why do we fill our heads
With these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess
And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live
like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin
bein' myself
Let's dance

They teach us how to roll
make em lots of dough
Money is the god we work for
Keep up with the style
this artificial smile
Will only last a while
Why do we fill our heads
With these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess
And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live
like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin
bein' myself
Let's dance

And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live
like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin
bein' myself
And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live
like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin
bein' myself
And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live
like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin
bein' myself
Let's dance


6.Ancient History

Some girls tell you what you wanna hear
Those girls always make it very clear
But I know things are not what they appear
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all
We talk hours on the telephone
But you shut down when we're alone
You stop us from being close
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all
There's no rhyme and there's no reason
She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history
Some guys try to hide the way they feel
And sometimes it takes someone to break the seal
You can't negotiate a one-way deal
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all
I'll wait I've got the patience of a saint
I just don't want you to hesitate
Cause you don't ever wanna mess with fate
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all
There's no rhyme and there's no reason
She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history
Don't mislead me don't mistreat me
I don't understand why you're wearing me down
Please believe me why defeat me
I don't understand why you're breaking me down

She don't want anyone other than
She don't need anything other than
She don't see anyone but herself herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history
History history


7.Somebody Else

If I sold this guitar
and a piece of my heart for you

Would you hop on a bus
and leave just because would you

Are these dreams overrated
Running from myself
I used to be somebody else
I'm holding out for a good reason
People around me
they all seem to tell me
that I tend to change like the seasons
I used to be somebody else

This dream that I chose is too big for us both it's true
It hurts me the most now I feel like a ghost around you

Are these dreams overrated
Running from myself
I used to be somebody else
I'm holding out for a good reason
The people around me
they all seem to tell me that I tend to change
like the seasons
I used to be somebody else

If I sold this guitar
and a piece of my heart for you

Would you hop on a bus
and leave just because would you

I used to be somebody else
I'm holding out for a good reason
People around me
they all seem to tell me
that I tend to change like the seasons
I used to be somebody else
I'm holding out for a good reason
People around me
they all seem to tell me
that I tend to change like the seasons
I used to be somebody else
I used to be somebody else
I used to be somebody else


8.Arms Around Me

When I hurt You
I never meant to hurt You
I'm just trying to work through things in my life
Emotions can be mean and I didn't really mean it
I never stopped believing in the truth
I'm not big on waiting
I could use some patience
This time I'm not afraid of losing
Wrap Your arms around me I know
Trying hard not to let go
Every time I stand up
I fall without You
When You wrap Your arms around me I know
With me wherever I go
Nothing else matters at all when You're here

You're always near me
even when it's ugly
Even when I'm screaming up to You
I'm thankful for Your mercy
You always seem to hear me
It's not always easy to push through
I'm not big on waiting
I could use some patience
This time I'm not afraid of losing
Cause I'm not one to frown when
The sun is going down and
I'm happy to just wait on You
Wrap Your arms around me I know
Trying hard not to let go
Every time I stand up
I fall without You
When You wrap Your arms around me I know
With me wherever I go
And nothing matters at all when You're here

I promise I'll never doubt You
You know I'm lost without You
Please hold me in Your arms tonight

Wrap Your arms around me I know
Trying hard not to let go
Every time I stand up
I fall without You
When You wrap Your arms around me I know
With me wherever I go
And nothing matters at all when You're here


9.Just Like Me

She shows up nervously and says
'It's time we settle up the score'
Cause all the things that I regret
Are all the things I've said before
Hard to ignore
I'd like you even more
But you're just like me
I talk behind your back
From this confidence I lack
Now is the time to make things right
But you're just like me
Just like me
just like me
Just like me
just like me
Just like me
I wanna sever all
the ties that keep me bound throughout the night
But if I gossip all the time
these knots will never come untied
Thinking of myself
me nobody else
And you're just like me
I talk behind your back
From this confidence I lack
Now is the time to make things right
But you're just like me
Just like me
just like me
Just like me
just like me
Just like me

You're not alone
you're not alone
You know we all are guilty
Join in the song and sing along
Sing the chorus with me
You're not alone
you're not alone
You know we all are guilty
Join in the song and sing along
Sing the chorus with me

I talk behind your back
From this confidence I lack
Now is the time to make things right
But you're just like me
Just like me
just like me
Just like me
just like me
Just like me
just like me


10.Not The Same

This evening at sundown
We meet in our small town
Everyone's going without ever knowing
To meet for the countdown
Our friends and our families
All hangout at Riley's
We stay for a while and jam out Guiel
Then walk on down George Street
And this road we choose
nothing to lose at all
That's the way it was and the way it is
Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Our lives in the fast lane
Though it's not the same without you
It's not the same without you
Shows at the Gordon Best
And hockey at Northcrest
Our malls were a disgrace
Remember Portage Place
When we got kicked out
And told to never show our face
This road we choose
nothing to lose at all
That's the way it was and the way it is
Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Our lives in the fast lane
Though it's not the same without you
It's not the same without you
We will keep
on our feet
In the streets that will never sleep

Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Though it's not the same without you
Our lives in the fast lane
It's not the same without you
Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Our lives in the fast lane
Though it's not the same without you
It's not the same without you
It's not the same without you


11.Words We Speak

She woke up with a tear-stained pillow
She just broke up with a nice young fellow
All those tears you cry
now it's time to say goodbye
You're on your own you're all alone
We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can't bring us down
We've all failed and hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control

Can't comply we're perfect in your eyes
We fall down but it's just a part of life
All those tears you cry
now it's time to say goodbye you're on your
own you're all alone
We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can bring us down
We've all failed hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control
Now I'm here to let you know
That we can't make it on our own
What's mine is yours I'm letting go
You know I'd never doubt you
You know I'm lost without you
I'm giving you control

We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can't bring us down
We've all failed hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control
We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can't bring us down
We've all failed hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control
take control

take control
take control
take control


12.I Still Miss You

There she was
5'3 a picture of my mother's mother
She showed me love
and all the ways of God
Her final days were spent in bed where she passed away
I won't forget her smiling face when she left us that night
But I still miss you
All the times we spent together
To hear you talk about the weather
I always prayed you'd get well soon
I wish my prayers came true
I know Jesus has the answer
And He's way bigger than the cancer in you
But I still miss you

If dreams came true
just one more chance to talk to you
And thank you for the time you spent
teaching me the truth
A boy back then
I've grown up
now I'm a man
I can finally understand the things you said to me
But I still miss you
All the times we spent together
To hear you talk about the weather
I always prayed you'd get well soon
I wish my prayers came true
I know Jesus has the answer
And He's way bigger than the cancer in you
But I still miss you
I need some help to carry on
I need some strength to keep me strong
I need some help to carry on
I need some strength to keep me strong
I need some help to carry on
I need some strength to keep me strong
