Our Lady Peace Burn Burn Lyrics
1.All You Did Was Save My Life

You looked at me as you walked into the room,
Like the red sea you split me open,
Somehow I knew these wings were stolen,
All you did was save my life.

I tried to run but I couldn't move,
Well I paid for these concrete shoes,
But like the singer that sings the blues,
You saw hope in the hopeless.

I'm not dying,
All you did was save my life,
Pulled me out of that flat line,
Put the heartbeat back inside.

I'm not dying,
All you did was get me through,
I owe every breath to you,
Heart and soul unparalysed,
All you did was save my life.

Save my Life.

I'm not for sale,
But I've been sold,
The more I hear the less i know,
And the lies are swallowed whole,
And their insignificance.

The story's been told a million times,
But it's different when it's your life,
I won a lottery tonight,
The lottery tonight.

I'm not dying,
All you did was save my life,
Pulled me out of that flat line,
Put the heartbeat back inside.

I'm not dying,
All you did was get me through,
I owe every breath to you,
Heart and soul unparalysed,
All you did was save my life.

I started to come around,
The dogs are backing down,
I'm not afraid to see,
The Devils gone underground,
This tightrope's been cut down,
And I can finally Breath

You looked at me as you walked into the room,
Like the red sea you split me open,
Somehow I knew these wings were stolen,

I'm not dying,
All you did was save my life,
Pulled me out of that flat line,
Put the heartbeat back inside.

I'm not dying,
All you did was get me through,
I owe every breath to you,
Heart and soul unparalysed,
All you did was save my life. ..


2.Dreamland

Our mother sets the dinner table.
Sun crashes to the pavement, yeah.
Our father workin' just to make ends.
We spend our lives just tryin' to make sense

But, i feel love i feel a power.
It comes to me in the darkest hour.
And I, oh well I feel it again!

Ad it's Dreamland, the kids are alright.
And the sky is blue
We all got wings and know how to fly.
I'm headed to the moon.
The sun on my face.
My head in the clouds.
Time on my side.
My feet off the ground
I'm not coming down.
not coming down.

Summer ends, the ocean dries up.
A stranger dies, and no one gives a
fuck.
I take a look over my shoulder
All my friends have gotten older.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

But, i feel love i feel a power.
It comes to me in the darkest hour.
And I, oh well I feel it again!

Ad it's Dreamland, the kids are alright.
And the sky is blue
We all got wings and know how to fly.
I'm headed to the moon.
The sun on my face.
My head in the clouds.
Time on my side.
My feet off the ground
I'm not coming...

Change just to change.
Break just to break.
Blame just to blame
My head in the clouds.
Feet off the ground.
I'm not coming down!

Ad it's Dreamland, the kids are alright.
And the sky is blue
We all got wings and know how to fly.
I'm headed to the moon.
The sun on my face.
My head in the clouds.
Time on my side.
My feet off the ground
I'm not coming down, Yeah
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down, Yeah
I'm not coming down


3.Monkey Brains

Makin' plans for your escape
Get between all the ricochets
Assume positions in the sky
Fly away with the butterflies
Rest your head in Pacific grove
Lose yourself down in Mexico
Wanna taste of the monkey brains
Take a bite man don't be shy

They're comin' after you
They're comin' after you
It's all you can do
They're comin' after you

Got your file and your DNA
Membership in the NRA
On the list with the FBI
Yearbook pics from the junior high
Camouflage in your orange and black
Soar above all the ground attacks
Safe and sound on this coastal plane
Celebrate with the cheap champagne

They're comin' after you
They're comin' after you
It's all you can do
They're comin' after you

Generations trying to find a home
A thousand miles away from what they know
It's time to go
It's time to go

Generations trying to find a home
A thousand miles away from what they know
It's time to go
It's time to go
It's time to go

They're comin' after you
They're comin' after you
It's all you can do
They're comin' after you


4.The End Is Where We Begin

Alone in a crowd, a missing planet
You crash to the ground,
You never planned that, It just happened this way.
It happened this way.

The stars in your eyes,
If you believe in death you're certain to die.
If you believe in love you're always alive.
You're always alive.
You're always alive.

Here I am, waitin' for one last chance.
'Cuz this time we got, nothing left to lose.
And everything is ruined.
But the end is where we begin.

You're lost in the clouds.
I climbed a ladder but I can't talk you down.
And all that matters is tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.

Here I am, waitin' for one last chance.
'Cuz this time we got, nothing left to lose.
And everything is ruined.
But the end is where we begin.

And the winds will lead us somewhere.
And the winds will lead us somewhere. Hey!

Here I am, waitin' for one last chance.
'Cuz this time we got, nothing left to lose.
And everything is ruined.
But the end is where we begin.

You're lost in the clouds.
We got a long, long, long,
We got a long, long, long,
We got a long, long, long,
Long way to go

6.Refuge

I picked you up, I held you out.
I love you. I love you.
I placed you down, I held my breath.
I wonder. yeah, I wonder.
What'd I do? You're not around.

It's a fall I've got to tell you,
That this wall, was not meant for you.
I see sides all, sides all around.
Get through. You'll get through this.


The moon strikes one. You rest your head.
This refuge, oh this refuge.
The sun comes up, and life begins.
There's danger, oh there's danger.
What'd I do if you weren't around?

It's a fall I've got to tell you,
That this wall, was not meant for you.
I see sides all, sides all around.
You'll get through, you'll get through.

The human condition, needs a hiding place.
This human condition, needs a hiding place.
A hiding place.

It's a fall.
I've got to tell you,
That this wall, was not meant for you.
I see sides all, sides all around.
You'll get through, you'll get through,
you'll get through, through, you'll get through.


7.Never Get Over You

She sits quiet
In the shadow of the sun
She looks tired
Her life that's come undone
She turns, turns, turns, turns

She likes hockey
And summers by the lake
We're not talking
Because of my mistakes
I burn, burn, burn, burn

If you walk out that door
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you
If my heart hits this floor
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you

End this silence
But it's never been so loud
I try to fight it
But the words just don't come out
I burn, burn, burn, burn

If you walk out that door
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you
If my heart hits this floor
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you

There's no hiding
From your silence
There's no hiding

If you walk out that door
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you
If my heart hits this floor
I just don't know what I'd do
I'll never get over you

Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go


8.White Flags

And she says it's cold
And she says the sky's about to fall
How do you know?
Well she says the writing's on the wall

Everything I made I somehow broke
Every word I say I think I stole
I can't explain
But I won't give up the ghost

She looks like an angel
Talks like it's war

And this whole world has gone crazy
God's got a little lazy
We're raising our white flags
And holding our breath
No retreat and no surrendering

And she says it's late
And come on we're heading for the sun
I said now wait
Ah, this battle's just begun

Every line I've crossed has come undone
Everything I know is somehow wrong
I can't escape
And there's nowhere left to run

She looks like an angel
talks like it's war

And this whole world has gone crazy
God's got a little lazy
We're raising our white flags
And holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering

I'm gonna fall with you
Crawl with you
Oh no
I'm gonna fall with you
I'll break down these walls with you
Oh no
Hey

And this whole world has gone crazy
God's got a little lazy
We're raising our white flags
And holding our breath
Oh, we're trading our black hearts
For angels instead

But no retreat and no surrendering


9.Signs Of Life

I'm not looking for trouble
I'm taking one on the chin
I don't know where I'm going
Or where to begin

Alone in this room
Thinking of you and
What could of been
The trouble that I've seen
The trouble got to me

There's no signs of life in here at all
The sound of quiet is deafening
I'll wait for you to call
There's no signs of life in here at all
All the trouble that i've seen
Trouble won't get the best of me

Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la

I'm sending you out a signal
Over land, over sea
From the top of the Great Lakes
Down the Mississippi

Alone in a room
Thinking of you and
Those possibilities
The trouble that i've seen
This trouble got to me

There's no signs of life in here at all
The sound of quiet is deafening
I'll wait for you to call
There's no signs of life in here at all

All the trouble that I've seen
Trouble...
All the trouble that I've seen
Trouble... won't get the best of me

There's no signs of life in here at all
The sound of quiet is deafening
I'll wait for you to call
There's no signs of life in here at all

All the trouble that I've seen
Trouble...
All the trouble that I've seen
And trouble won't get the best of me


10.Paper Moon

Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You keep getting ready for the big parade
Ah you shine your shoes and you fake a smile
Salute the players with that famous style, cause
Keepin up has kept you in chains

I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go
with you
And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon

They just dont know anything at all
They just dont know anything at all

Youll fight traffic jams and big TVs, and
Hipsters trapped in their own irony, but
Youll finally think about settling down
Oh you quit your job and you sell your car
Youll burn your clothes and pray to the stars, cause
You swore to God that youd never end up this way

I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go
with you
And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon

They just dont know anything at all
They just dont know anything at all
At all
At all
At all
At all

Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You keep getting ready for the big parade
