The Last Beautiful Day

New Buffalo The Last Beautiful Day Lyrics
1.Recovery

Time for beer
Checkered cheer
Now you're here
I can see so clearly
No more question marks
Sympathy cards
It's in the stars
Troubled times are clearing

Now it's recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day

I was wrong
You were right
Gotta stop
Feeling like it's never ending
We could go
Check out the show
Happiness
It's the sound of how you're feeling

Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day

Look into my eyes
And you will wee what you want to find
You can paint the picture of your fever
Just to get it off your mind

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

Recovery (It's a new day)
Looks like it's gonna be (It's a new day)
Okay (It's a new day)
It's a new day (It's a new day)
Recovery (It's a new day)
Looks like it's gonna be (It's a new day)
Okay (It's a new day)
It's a new day (It's a new day)


2.I've Got You and You've Got Me

I wanted it so bad
Making all the props
Sitting on my swing
Giving all I've got
But when they dim the lights
Forgetting my stage fright
I find that little smile
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me

I light his cigarette
Acting with regret
Saying all my lines
Pretending things are fine
But when the curtains close
Everybody knows
I climb into the space
Where I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me

What happens when I say
'This may be the last beautiful day'

I'm dancing in my sleep
With promises I'll keep
Feeling so complete
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me

I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me


3.No Party

Ohhh, ahhh...

Caught me in a rush
I hate myself for this
Longing to lay down beside you
And tell you how it is
My scarf is folded clean
Shoes beside my bed
Movies and then smiling
All these ideas in my head ooh

Ohhh, ahhh...

Ideas on belief
These are ideas we can share
Stroll accross the party floor
You've spoiled it all
You've spoiled it all

All the colours in my mind
Patterns in my eyes
Your the one who made me come alive
And after spoiling all my cheer
I realise why I'm here
You're the one who made me come alive

Ohhh, ahhh...


4.It'll be Alright

This time
It's not about you
So tired
But what can you do
Last night
I wanted to say
Move on
And look on the brighter side

But your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright

Did not
Think you leave it this long
Work hard
Or maybe you've got nothing to say
Please call
I'm begging you to
Forgot
I never got back to you

And your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright

And when your all alone
You catch your breath
You save yourself
You save yourself
It's easy
If you'd only try
It's easy

But your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright

I thought you'd call
I thought you'd change
But why expect
Oh so much from your friends

I know who you are
And you know who I am
Is that not enough


5.Time To Go To Sleep

Time to go to sleep
Just lay back (just lay back)
And relax

Time to close your eyes
Just lay back (just lay back)
And relax

On the seventh floor
I can see it, it's a swimming pool
But it looks like a river
Saturday, what a day
I'm not lonely
But I'm
All alone
I'm trying to go to sleep
But I can't go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind

Underneath the streetlight
You see who I am
It lights up the patterns and games
And incomplete sounds and new names
Saturday, what a day
I'm not lonely
But I'm
All alone
I'm trying to go to sleep
But I can't go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind

I'm trying to go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind


6.Yes

I know what you like best
Yes
Yes

Yes I get the feeling that
You're tired of all my moody ways
I'm tired of living moody days
Yes

One more breath and I will become
A river that is deep and still
I'd wait here all night until
You said yes
Yes
Yes

Washed out fears
With midnight tears
There's washed out fears
A little sleep will brush away
With midnight tears
The fingerprints I found today
There's washed out fears
And I'm not going far away
With midnight tears
In just eight weeks I'll solve the case

And I'll be in your car and driving
Straight through a red light
While you're running through my mind
Arrest me and say yes

Will you hang the trophy in the cabinet
You are yet to build
You withstood the stormy nights so well

Is this a dream
Yes it is
Is this a dream
Yes it is


7.Inside

Gotta get away so I can write some more
TV on and record playing, what's it for
Career move is watching you travel far

Watch a building being built, the pieces are
Replacing what's missing inside your heart
In the distance dying on your bedroom floor
Playing songs I used to know

Gonna get my things and take them down
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
I'm gonna get my things and take them down (It's alright)
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here (Here we are)
Playing what seems pretty clear
I'm gonna get my things and take them down (Inside)
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear

Sending letters back and forth
What can we do
Here's a mountain and a heartbeat
Just for you
Situation tells me that we're going to
Even if we have to pay

Gonna get my things and take them down
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear

It's alright
Here we are
Inside

It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
(We're alright)

It's alright
Here we are
We're inside
We're alright

It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
(We're alright)

It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
(We're alright)


8.Come Back

When dark as night
I saw the light
It shone with more
Desire than
I'd seen before
The leaves begin to fall
I smell the air
And hear a voice saying
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now

It's time to lie
Down on the shore
Where you once cried
For more, for more
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now

It's true
It's true
I've been avoiding you
When all you gave to me
Was so pure and so complete
The sounds that lull to sleep
The flickering of the lights
The water so deep
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now

It's time to lie
Down on the shore
Where you once cried
For more, for more
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now


9.While You're Away

I've got plans to take you down
Privately we'll make a time
Taking notes and making charts
One machine to map the heart

Silver lining in your mind
Look inside but never find
Hanging pictures on the wall
While you're thinking how you left all

While you're away
With stars in your eyes
The infection is so close to the heart
Give me some time
It's all that I need
You lie beside your dreams in the dark

Please pick up the phone
I picture you asleep
And you're alone
You're listening to the sound
Of your inside
It's never been so sweet or so alive

While you're away
With stars in your eyes
The infection is so close to the heart
Give me some time
It's all that I need
You lie beside your dreams in the dark

Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all I need

Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need


10.On Sunday

Director gets in
And changes the lighting
Shooting the scene they begin
Four minutes on
The romance is blooming
Preparing the costume she grins

How about we have a little action
The writer wants some more
He's gonna get some
Yes tonight's the night you're gonna want more
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for

So give up, give in
And tell them the story
Look down and shine from above
Holding his hand
She's singing to herself
I've got a ticket to love

How about we have a little action
The writer wants some more
He's gonna get some
Yes tonight's the night you're gonna want more
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
