Hold On For Dear Life (EP)

The Icarus Account Hold On For Dear Life (EP) Lyrics
1.Farewell For Now

I'll take the long way home so I can clear my mind tonight If I
could see your face I know then I'd be just fine Cuz everything
feels so right whenever you're around Am I just looking for what
I've already found and I only want the best for you even if it
means we're through It's clear that distance is our enemy for
now but if it's meant to be, then it will be somehow If I could
go back now I'd change so many things But the past is what it is
and this is why I sing I only wanna see you happy Even if it's
without me and we'll see if this is how it's meant to be Are we
holding on to what's already gone from our hands Time will tell
the truth just like a nightfall hits land I'm sorry that I
didn't treat you like an angel Cuz that's exactly what you are
Seems like the more it hurts the more I understand That I wasn't
ready yet to take your hand There's only one thing left I want
to do That's take back everything I put you through and we'll
see if this is how it's meant to be Are we holding on to what's
already gone from our hands Time will tell the truth just like a
nightfall hits land I'm sorry that I didn't treat you like an
angel Cuz that's exactly what you are So I guess this is
Farewell for Now I'll find you in the end somehow


2.Hold On For Dear Life

You caught my eye
Just like a color that I
Have never seen before
Something Oh so beautiful
How can I stand still
And let you walk right by
Wonder when you'll pass me by
And will my life ever change

Please stay Don't go
I want the world to know
I want Your heart
And nothing less than that tonight
Even if I have to shout your name
I know now that we can never be the same
So let's hold on for dear life

I can't believe this is happening
It's so much more than I thought it would be
I can't pretend it's a mystery
When you've got all of me

You're the only one I know
Who leaves me no control
You're the only one I need
So here's my everything
You're the only one I see
Girl it's just you and me
So let's try to make this scene
Played out on the movie screen
We never believed this was possible
Til now

I can't believe this is happening
It's so much more than I thought it would be
I can't pretend it's a mystery
When you've got all of me When you've got all of me
When you've got all of me...
Please stay Don't go
I want the world to know
I want Your heart
And nothing less than that tonight...


3.3000

I've spent all 3000 of these lonely miles
Thinking about you
I've spent all 21 of these painful hours
Reliving our goodbye
I'll spend all of my nights hoping that you will call
'Cause You're worth waking up for

I've climbed all 40 steps of this concrete staircase
Is your future the same as mine
I've framed all 23 of my pictures of us
So please don't forget me
And I'll spend all three months of this next semester
Waiting for Christmas time

Don't crack smiles for three months time
Don't shed a tear from your eyes
Without me there by your side
Without me there by your side

And I'm missing your smile and the look in your eyes
And even the dinners for two
And on all the weekends I go to the movies
And still buy a seat for you
And I still fall asleep hoping that you will call
Cause you're worth waking up for
Worth packing up for
Worth being late for
Worth staying faithful
Worth being alone for
Worth acting dumb for
And worth coming home for
And I can't wait to see you again
I can't wait to see you again
I can't wait to see you again
I can't wait no I can't wait so

Don't crack smiles for three months time
Don't shed a tear from your eyes
Without me there by your side
Without me there by your side

I've spent all 3000 of these anxious miles
Hoping you feel the same
I've spent all 21 of these drawn out hours
imagining our first sight


4.Diamonds And Daisies

If I could just see through your eyes for a moment
Would I find what I've been looking for so desperately
Those hazel eyes have got me spinning around in circles

We both know so let's let go
Of these feelings that we can hold back
We can't control nothing is fading
If I stay If I go nothing is changing
Nothing is changing...

It's you and me versus the world
I know that it's crazy
They can't stop you from being my girl
I don't trade diamonds for daisies

If you want this just as I do
Then be willing to take a risk take a fall
Would you be happy to let it burn let it die
And wonder what could be
And trust me you'll be sorry
It's you and me versus the world
I know that it's crazy
They can't stop you from being my girl
I don't trade diamonds for daisies

Nothing's gonna stop us now Except for ourselves

If you could just let go
Of all that you hold on to
And be happy with the consequence
So what's it gonna be baby

It's you and me versus the world
I know that it's crazy
They can't stop you from being my girl
I'll make sure of that
It's you and me versus the world
I know that it's crazy
They can't stop you from being my girl
I don't trade diamonds for daisies


5.Life Is Beautiful

Life won't always go your way
And that won't ever change
But you'll find blessings in the clouds
And you'll find mercy in the rain
And you'll have heartache down the road
And tears shed from a broken soul
But joy will seek you out and give you hope
Like candles' lights in darkened rooms

And how you sacrifice and try to make things right
Is the whole world happy but you
But hungry children cry while thirsty siblings die
How did this life become so cruel
And then the questions come and rare are answers known
But this is still worth pushing through
Cause every smile shown
And Every laughing moment
Confirms that life is beautiful

I know you love me I know you really love me
And I want to fall in love with you

And I am guilty just like you
And I will never save myself
And all my formulas and secret recipes
Will never take away the pain
But I'll find healing in His wounds
And I'll find warmth in lover's eyes
Cause every drop of blood
And every tear that's cried
Confirms that life is beautiful
Confirms that we are beautiful
Confirms that you are beautiful

I know you love me I know you really love me
And I want to fall in love with you
With you


6.All The Same

Do You hear me? Do you see me Broken on my knees Yes I am Broken
On my knees And I know my God you See This sinful heart in me
But nothing I ever do Can change Your love so true You love me
all the same And what am I compared to You Yes what am I Lord
compared to You I am nothing And I know my God you See This
sinful heart in me But nothing I ever do Can change Your love so
true You love me all the same And as I stand in this world I'm
so afraid of slipping away But I feel your touch I feel your
love come right on me and pick me up and I know.. That You love
me all the same
