The Devlins Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Disappear

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

Say you got caught holding the goods
Everything we talked about
Just up in smoke the way you see it
Maybe it hurts just like it should
Maybe you saw yourself in
Someone else's perfect figure, I don't care

Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Tell me that you can
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
See, as of now you'll disappear

You're saying your dreams feel so good
Standing on the corner, baby
Shoot the breeze above your knees
Everything works just like it should
Finger on the trigger now so click your heels
And make some deals from now on

Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Tell me that you can
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Pretty soon you'll disappear

In the meantime I guess all life is in your hands
It didn't work out like you planned, it didn't

So tell me when you come around, could you hear that sound?
When you come around, can you hear that sound?
Tell me when you come around, baby, can you hear that sound?
Oh when you come around, did you hear that sound?

Waiting for the curse that will not come
Try to rearrange yourself
But nothing you can do could change it
Now everything adds up to one
It's raining in your head but look outside
The sun's still shining, so don't ask why

Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Tell me that you can
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
See, as of now you'll disappear

Pretty soon you'll disappear
Yeah, I'll watch you disappear
As of now you disappear
Disappear, oh, yeah


2.Someone To Talk To

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

I watch your eyes, across the room
And I see how much they've changed from what I knew
Things seem so different now in your life
But I never wanted more that you could find

And the sun won't shine, into your room
And the love you thought you felt was never true
Things seem so different now in my life
And you know I felt the emptiness of time

It took me so long to find myself
Someone to talk to

You say the world is wide and your thoughts are deep
And the wind will carry everything you keep
Things seem so simple now in my life
Now I've found someone who makes it all seem right

It took me so long to find myself
Someone to talk to


3.Years Could Go By

Lyricist:Devlin Colin, Peter Devlin

It's okay to be afraid
Lose yourself in the waves of regret
Passing over not just yet
You are safe in the arms that won't forget

And I look in your eyes and I feel no surprise
When you tell me now you have to go away
You know years could go by
Empty days, sleepless nights

And I look in your eyes and I feel no surprise
When you tell me now you have to go away
You know years could go by
Empty days, sleepless nights

Years, years, years


4.Waiting

Lyricist:Colin Devlin

Waiting at the station, waiting for the right moves
Waiting in the basement, waiting for the right cues
Waiting in a daydream, waiting in the slipstream
Waiting

Waiting in the right bars, waiting in the right shoes
Waiting in a fast car, waiting in the airports
Waiting for my air-miles, waiting in slow motion
Coming through the turnstile

And if you ever change you mind
You know I'm not hard to find
And if you ever need someone
I'll still be waiting

Waiting with the orphans, waiting for the bee stings
They tell me that success brings, waiting in the half-light
Waiting through your whole life, waiting for an ideal, a low
deal, a no deal
Play your stereotype, oh yeah

And if you ever find the time
You know I'm not far behind
And if you ever need someone
I'll still be waiting

Just waiting, for a friend
Waiting

I said, 'It's alright'
It's alright, my friend
Yeah, it's alright

Just waiting


5.World Outside

Lyricist:Devlin Colin, Peter Devlin

Tell me your secret what you desire
I will still be there for you
And tell me you need it tell me something you're not
I will still be there for you

And say you believe it, all of your lies
Tell me you feel it
And don't compromise, oh no
I will still be there for you

Your light in my dreams, light up my skin
You're so far away, you're holding it in
I'm looking around, watching it spin
Got my world outside, it's changing something within

Tell me you'll reach it some of the time
What you're searching for
'Cos the love that's around you
Gets you down, kick you to the floor

So tell me you see it
With your own eyes
Tell me the sky is falling now in your world
I will still be there for you

Your light in my dreams, light up my skin
Waiting so long time to begin
I'm looking around, watching it spin
Got my world outside it's changing something within

So tell me the reasons, show me the signs
Say you desire, desire only now
In this world it's our world

Your light in my dreams, light up my skin
You're so far away, you're holding it in
I'm looking around, watching it spin
Got my world outside it's changing something within

It's our world
Time moves on and time moves on
In our world


6.Kill With Me Tonight

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

Lay your hands upon me
Lay my head down low
Take this sickness from me
From my world below

Use your eyes as weapons
Deep in the nighttime sky
Choose your words so slowly
To watch you now I wonder why

Hold me close, I feel it coming
Far away and out of sight
Hold me close, I know it's coming
Changes to our lives
So kill with me tonight

Know these days will take you
Know it won't be long
Could you do it for me?
Could you be that strong?

And your mind may weaken
You may find yourself
Lost alone and bleeding
But for now there's no one else

So just hold me close, I know it's coming
Far away and out of sight
Hold me close, I feel it coming
Changes to our lives
So kill with me tonight

Hold me close, I feel it coming
Far away and out of sight
Please, you know I forget nothing
Changes to our lives
So kill with me tonight, kill with me tonight
Tonight it's gonna be alright

Kill with me tonight, it's alright
Know it's gonna be alright


7.Alone In The Dark

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

I feel the storm, but it's so strange
To feel desire, without the pain
And I feel your eyes, search my soul
For something sacred, for something more than you need

Your words are lost, there's no aim
It's pure emotion, that holds this flame
And the rain will fall, and touch your heart
It's pure devotion, alone in the dark

So tell me what you feel
Tell me every little thing tell me all that you are now
And tell me what it's like to see from your own heart
Now I've got you alone in the dark

The shadows fall, all around
There's no one to harm you here, nowhere to be found
And it seems like we've been lost, in the world of our own
thoughts
There's no one I'd rather be with now, until the end

So tell me what you feel
Tell me every little thing, tell me all that you are now
And tell me what it's like to see from your own heart
Now I've got you alone in the dark


8.Drift

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

Out of my head, out on my own
Sometimes I understand
This life we've been shown through

And around this time
We began to drift
I used to feel weightless
Now I'm pretty hard to lift

You say, what you wanna say
In my arms, I know your home
If you go, where you gonna go?
And leave me on my own to drift alone

And somewhere along the thin white line
I'm spending my days and nights
Waiting for you to show

You say, what you wanna say

You said maybe I should go
And I spin into a haze
Waiting for you to show

And around this time
We began to drift
I used to feel weightless
Now I'm pretty hard to lift

You say, what you wanna say
In my arms I know your home
If you go, where you gonna go?
And leave me on my own to drift alone


9.As Far As You Can Go

Lyricist:Devlin Colin, Peter Devlin

You took me up, took me higher, baby
As far as you can go
You lit the flame of my desire
And everyone should know

The sunny streets of my hometown
Where we began to play
And the feelings deep inside my heart
Will never fade away

See I try, try, try but that's no good for you
If you really feel you need to work it out
Take a train ride to the mountainside
And let it all fade away

And the happiness that you gave me, honey
I will always save
You see the cool breeze of love
Just blew and then it went away

You see I try, try, try but that's no good for you
If you really feel you need to work it out
Well hey, take a train ride up through the mountainside
And let it all fade away

As far as you can go


10.I Don't Want To Be Like This

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

I see you're angry with the things you did
And I know you will be lost until
You find a reason that can make you see my wish

And now I'm watching as you swing your dress
And your friends may cool your own distress
But you could change it all with just one kiss, one kiss

'Cause I don't want to be like this for too long

And the words are racing through my head
But they need to come from you instead
So close your eyes and think of all the things you miss

'Cause I don't want to be like this for too long

The days are growing colder now
And I'm lost when you don't come around
But you could change it all with just one kiss, one kiss

'Cause I don't want to be like this for too long


11.Necessary Evil

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

I feel like I've been lost somewhere
And I find out why I'm here again
And time stretches across my mind
Spins all the way around

And now I find myself alone
My head without a home
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do

And where will you be when all this is coming down?
With time to kill
Where will you be when all this is coming down?
You're a necessary evil

You lit a fire with the sweetest kiss
I saw the flame and I held my hand to it
And I know that if I ever miss
You'll burn me to the ground

And now I'm lost within myself
I'm losing self respect
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do

And where will you be when all this is coming down?
With time to kill
Where will you be when all this is coming down?
You're a necessary evil

You've changed me now
I search for something new
And I hurt myself
But I can't see it through

Now I find myself alone
My head without a home
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do

And where will you be when all this is coming down?
With time to kill
Where will you be when all this is coming down?
You're a necessary evil


12.I Knew That

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

They said the world was a different place
Through the eyes of another face
They said the change would
Be slow in coming 'round

They said the sky would be burning bright
And all the angels would begin to fight
Over the reason why there's no seasons
And there'll be no day and night

But I knew that

I heard the words you were telling me
I heard your lies, your stupidity
But all these things you say to me
You just don't understand

You see I knew that

And if you look maybe you might find
The words came from another mind
And if you think that you've got it right
Well, maybe you should stand and fight

They tried to talk but it was no good
They said you'd leave and I knew you would
I knew the time and I knew the place
But through the eyes of another face

I saw the words that were in your head
I heard the thoughts that remained unsaid
I tried to talk but it's much too late
'Cause I seem mixed up and I can't relate

But I knew that
What do you say when love is gone?
I said I knew that


13.Until The Light Shines Through

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

It feels like my thoughts could run into your mind
And say the things that I can't say
And all of this time I'm thinking to myself
The only thing I see is you, my life runs through
Your heart will be a place for me

Night speeds so fast, it's easy now
I cut myself on these thoughts of you and I hear your voice
I'm running now into your world
That takes me near the edge of real
My mind to steal each night with you
Make everything seem new

And it feels like I'm spending all my time
Chasing dreams I wish so would come true
If you hold the knife, I would take my life
I want to be with you, I want to be with you
Until the light shines through

Nothing changes now my heart stands still
You could part my will to live

And it feels like I'm spending all my time
Chasing dreams I wish so would come true
If you hold the knife, I would take my life
I want to be with you, I want to be with you
Until the light shines through


14.Almost Made You Smile

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

In my hand, you might see
Something special that she gave to me
And in my head you might find
Something special that she left behind

And you will see
Your eyes light up again like mine
And you will see
That after all this time, I almost made you smile

Through my life I have seen
This love come and go, there's no in between
And in my dreams, I have seen
Something altogether more serene

And you will see
Your eyes light up again like mine
And you will see
The fever run through life

And you will see
The sky turn blue with all your light
And you will see
That after all this time, I almost made you smile

Could you feel like this again?
Show me something

I almost made you smile


15.Reckless

Lyricist:Devlin Colin

I guess that you could say
That things worked out okay for now
The promises you made
Could disappear without a trace

'Cause I'm reckless
'Cause I'm reckless, yeah
'Cause I'm reckless

Somewhere along the way
You raised your hand up to my face
And said you never should look back
Experience has taught us that

And I tried, I tried, yeah I tried
But I still feel out of place and strange

'Cause I'm reckless
'Cause I'm reckless, now
'Cause I'm reckless

And somewhere out in space
A satellite revolves untraced
You offer up so much
I'm sure there is a price to pay

'Cause I'm reckless
'Cause I'm reckless, yeah
'Cause I'm reckless

I guess that you could say
That things worked out okay for now


16.Heaven's Wall

Lyricist:Michael Omartian, Roger Voudouris

Through the rise and fall, through the urban sprawl
You can have my sight, then we can see it all
In your neon dreams you will know what it means
Outside of heaven's wall

From the mountain top we'll see the fires glow
Where everything you are is everything you know
And then the fear will come and we can feel as one
Outside of heaven's wall

So come on, take my hand, I'll see you through it all
And when the stars come out we can watch them fall
So come on, take my hand, we'll rise above it all
Then we can meet as planned outside of heaven's wall

From the tower blocks to the lakes and trees
When you know who you are you will be on your knees
And when the real rain comes then we can be as one
Outside of heaven's wall

So come on, take my hand, I'll see you through it all
And when the stars come out we can watch them fall
So come on, take my hand, we'll rise above it all
Then we can meet as planned on top of heaven's wall


17.Crossing The River

Lyricist:Colin Devlin, Jr., Richard Nowels, Billy Steinberg

Something tells me I can trust in you
There's no pretense in the things you do
So much water under this bridge
And I'm standing here at the water's edge

Looking into your eyes I'm crossing the river to get to you
I'm crossing the river, crossing the river

You had the longing of a broken heart
Shine your light in a room that was frozen dark

Looking into your eyes, yeah, looking into your eyes
I'm crossing the river to get to you
I'm crossing the river and this time I'll make it through
With your faith and your arms open wide
I see you there on the other side crossing the river, of fear
and pride

There's no turning back
I've know I've come so far and I've got so far to go

I'm crossing the river to get to you
I'm crossing the river and this time I'll make it through, oh
yeah
With your faith and your arms open wide
I see you there on the other side crossing the river, of fear
and pride
Oh yeah, I'm crossing the river, I'm crossing the river
I'm crossing the river to get to you
