Hear Me Now

Secondhand Serenade Hear Me Now Lyrics
1.Distance

I'm driving down the highway
Cold and dark, dead
(It's deceiving)
It's deceiving
And miles and miles pass by
And I'm alone
My eyes feel like they're bleeding
But I'm just crying

Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?

I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
And I don't know if my heart will make It through
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too

I don't suppose you heard me
Call your name, girl
If you say louder,
Then I'll scream louder
The cities in between us block the way
They make it harder
But I'll scream louder

Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?

I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
And I don't know if my heart will make It through
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too

(Don't hate me)
Don't fail now
Hold on to hope
Cause I'm yours
I'm coming home to you soon
(I'm coming home)
Cause the road is very worn
And It's begging me to come back
(To You)
I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
(I'm sorry)
Please don't hate me too
(I'm coming home)
Don't hate me too
Please don't hate me too


2.Something More

I lie awake again
my bodies feeling paralysed.
i cant remember when
I didnt live through this disguise.
The words you said to me,
they couldnt set me free.
Im stuck here in this life i didnt ask for.

There must be something more,
do we know what we're fighting for?
breathe in breathe out
breathe in breathe out.
And all these masks we wore,
we never knew what we had in store,
breathe in breathe out,
breathe in breathe out.

The storm is rolling in,
the thunders loud it hurts my ears.
Im paying for my sins,
and its gunna rain for years and years.
I fooled everyone, and now what will i become?
i have to start this over,
i have to start this over.

There must be something more,
do we know what we're fighting for?
breathe in breathe out
breathe in breathe out.
And all these masks we wore,
we never knew what we had in store,
breathe in breathe out,
breathe in breathe out.

I fooled everyone now what will i become?
i have to start this over
i have to start this over.

There must be something more,
do we know what we're fighting for?
breathe in breathe out
breathe in breathe out.
And all these masks we wore,
we never knew what we had in store,
breathe in breathe out,
breathe in breathe out.

There must be something more,
breathe in breathe out
breathe in breathe out.
There must be something more,


3.Stay Away

something isn't right,
I'm losing faith in everything I know,
what do I know?

You told me I should fight,
not be self destructive thinking I should go,
what do i know?

Stay away from me!
I need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
Won't you stay a part of me?
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly.

I wrote this song tonight,
just to feel like I was not alone,
But I am alone.
I don't have the right to ask for your
forgiveness on the phone,
Cause I am alone.

Stay away from me!
I need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
Won't you stay a part of me?
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly.

This feeling's never ending,
and I can't keep pretending,
that it's you I want,
that it's you.
I'm not okay,
I'm not okay.

Stay away from me!
I need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
Won't you stay a part of me?
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly.


4.You and I

I'm feeling distracted
And likewise attracted
To all the things that you let me know
To all the things that you can't let go

You're waiting for friction
The empty addiction
Is forcing me to intervene
Let's break out of this scene

I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I

You and I
I watch you take over
I'll give you this offer
Take my hand and we will run away
Leave behind our past to stay
Decaying till its rotten
We'll have long forgotten
The memories that will haunt your heart
Let's tear this town apart

I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I

We watched the world go by
(But if it's you and I)
Then we will never die
(No we can never die)
We watch the world go by
But if it's you and I
Then we will never die

I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I
I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I...


5.Is There Anybody Out There

You can say goodbye,
To all the things that you have ever known.
You can say goodbye,
And leave behind the life that you have grown.
What's the point,
You try to start from scratch, but get let down,
You can say goodbye,
Just to realise there's no-one left around.
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there,
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I'm looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

You can live or die,
Without the chance to find out what you worth,
You can live or die,
And never find the one that she'd deserve,
You can walk alone,
And live beside the shadows in your heart,
You can say goodbye
Or live and find out you've been alone right from the start
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there,
am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer,
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I am looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

Never thought I would end up all alone,
Every day I am feeling further away from home,
I can't catch my breath,
but I am holding on.

Is there anybody out there,
is this the last time I have to say goodbye,
Am I staring at my future,
Is it time to take charge of my life,

Is there anybody out there
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer,
or am I trying to find a way to get back home,
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I am looking for an answer,
And just trying to find a way to survive,
a way to survive,
and I am holding on.


6.Reach For the Sky

Watch you waste away
You were born to shine but left behind
Slowly fade to grey
Yet, you say you are fine but up here you're up high

How could you believe that you done wrong
You don't believe in yourself

So reach for the sky,
I would pick you up if I could
Open your eyes,
I would pick you up if I could

Listen to the sound
Of your days passing by while you live a lie
Watch you turn around
Watch you say 'Goodbye' while there's no reply

How could you believe that your not strong
You don't believe anything

So reach for the sky,
I would pick you up if I could
Open your eyes,
I would pick you up if I could

Then I saw your face, you're left alone
But you're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone

Reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could,
Open your eyes, I would pick you up If I could
You're not alone,
You're not alone,
You're not alone,
You're not alone,
You're not alone....


7.Only Hope

my beating heart is getting tired
tonight it feels like it's on fire
and I'm driving all alone
my hand is on my phone
waiting for you to call me
please pick up the phone and call me
cause I'm lonely and my mind is aching
can't you see I'm for the taking

you are my only hope
but youre so far
and you are my only hope
so come back home
from where you are

I see your face on everyone
like the constant beating of the sun
right on my skin
I'm suffering without you
I'm tired i reach for my stereo
it's starting to sound real close to home
and I cant bear
to sleep here without you

you are my only hope
but you're so far
and you are my only hope
so come back home
from where you are

just come back home
from where you are
just come back home

sometimes I feel like I was mistaken
you must be an angel
sit down and teach me what life was all about
I see myself changing
no longer a stranger
you gave me a reason to never die

you are my only hope
but you're so far
and you are my only hope
so come back home
from where you are


8.So Long

I am leaving for a while
can you tell me that we will be ok
Your friends think that I am no good,
all they ever do is try to pull you away.
But I wont let them ever take you, ever take you, ever take you.

So long, I've waited for this day
to find someone to go to,
and I just want to tell you,
That it's so on, when you leaving yesterday,
and I don't think life will ever be the same
let's take this all the way.

Long dead silence on the phone,
Leading to a dial tone, this is not what I have planned,
the endless memories without you, life passing by without you,
Each day just like a grain of sand,
but I wont let them ever take you Ever take you ever take you

So long, I've waited for this day
to find someone to go to,
and I just want to tell you,
That its so on, we're leaving yesterday,
and I don't think life will ever be the same,
lets take this all the way.

Can you face me, can you wait for it
Can you taste me, can you fight for it
Will you fight for it.
So long, I've waited for this day
to find someone to go to,
and I just want to tell you,
That its so on, we're leaving yesterday,
and I don't think life will ever be the same,
lets take this all the way.
So long, I've waited for this day
to find someone to go to,
and I just want to tell you,
That its so on, we're leaving yesterday,
and I don't think life will ever be the same,
lets take this all the way.


9.World Turns

Turn slowly,
each day's so fast,
and I don't have the strength.
all I see, is broken glass,
with shiny shards of pain.

and change is coming my Way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same
and change is coming my Way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same

Hold structure,
don't let life pass,
let yourself be free.
Cause your much more,
forget the past,
I'm your enemy.

and change is coming my way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same
and change is coming my way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same

It's quiet, It's calm now,
I'm waiting, to fall down.
you showed me, that I need hope,
and I need change,
to know how it feels to be alone..
how does it feel to be alone?

And change is coming my way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same
And change is coming my way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same
And change is coming my way,
but I still feel the same,
I still feel the same

It's quiet, it's calm now,
I'm waiting, to fall down.
You showed me, That I need hope,
that I need change
I still feel the same...


10.Nightmares

Look away, pray for salvation,
and pray for a sweet conversation.
the problems not with you.
it's without you.
i love the way that you told me i'm better
the way you described me in letters.
there's nothing i can do,
is there nothing i can do.

i'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
and i'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen the nightmares that tore us apart

so long, wish that you'd tell me your wrong.
that were not dead and buried,
and save your harsh goodbyes,
your salty liquid eyes.
and this song, is just another song.
don't know why i bother.
i can't tell truth from lies.
i can't tell truth from lies.

i'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
and I'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen the nightmares that tore us apart

your fires burning bright.
it's burning me alive.
no one can save me now.
your touch was all i had.
it's eating me alive.
no one can save me now.

I'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
and I'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen the nightmares that tore us apart
your touch was all i had.


11.Hear Me Now

Left everything behind me,
searching for the strength I thought I had inside me,
left you behind so lonely,
praying for the day that you would somehow find me.

I was young
(you were wrong)
but i tried
(I was trying to give that I had lost through all I see)

Hear me now.
All I can say is I am not afraid,
of the world that I am trying to put you in,
I fight everyday,
but I am to blame,
I am not innocent,
but I am not afraid.

I lost all the things inside me,
(inside me)
Still have found myself with all the will to
free me from you,
I'm asleep,
I'm happy,
(I'm happy)
Want to know so much for you to someday see me.

tell me how,
(I want to)
sing it loud,
(I need you to be the one who catches all my dreams)

Hear me now
All I can say,
is I am not afraid of the world that I am trying to put you in,
I fight everyday,
but I am to blame,
I am not innocent,
but I am not afraid anymore,
I am not afraid,
anymore...

I'm tired of sleeping,
alone I've been grieving,
the life that I gave up to feel alive,
I want to feel alive..

I'm not afraid, anymore,
I'm not afraid, anymore,

I'm not afraid,(I want to feel alive)
anymore,(I want to feel alive)
I'm not afraid,(I want to feel, I need to feel)
anymore,(I want to feel alive)
i'm not afraid,(hold on tight)
anymore, (let's make this right)
I'm not afraid(take me, come with me, feel alive tonight)


12.You Are A Drug

Today was just another day
Emotionless and stale
Everytime I try to reach you
I always seem to fail

You're living in this shell
And you don't recognize your sin
You've taken not just me for granted
But the world you're living in

And so you stand there
And you pray for God to see
But the only one you have to be
Honest to is me

You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?

Everytime I get a taste of you
It keeps me wanting more
Yeah, I suffocate from all the words
You said to me before

It seems as though you speak to me
As if it isn't sure
I know I fight for something
but what am I fighing for?

And so I stand there
And I pray for God to see
I just need the strength alone
To do what's best for me

You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?

And this world is fast
It's passed me by
But you're still here
And I don't know why
You've lost your smile
But we can try
To bring it back to life

You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?
You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?
