The World As We Know It

The Morning Of The World As We Know It Lyrics
1.Goodbye Gravity, Welcome Change

Some are dreamers
and some are realists
but, we all welcome change
this is goodbye, gravity
you no longer keep me grounded

this is world as we know it
this is world as we know it
this is world as we know it
this is world as we know it

some are lovers
and some are fighters
but, we all pump the same red blood into our veins
the new is in, and we're feeling better already

this is world as we know it
(oh, oh oh oh...)
(whispers...)


2.Let Your Spirit Soar

3 AM, A boy sits outside his house,
lonely with his guitar.
But then he plays a melody that's so familiar,
it reminds him of who we are

so a vast to all of your hopes
and chase your dreams with all the things that you know
live each day like it could be your last
cause this world can be a cruel place
the more you give it seems the more you loose faith
so hold on tight and things will be just fine
woahh

To the people that can hear us,
here's a message that's unwinding.

Don't break hearts and try to shake hands,
because we're living in a time of living's last chance.
Let your spirit soar.

Ooo yeah. Go!

Now it's half past three
and I can see the task that has been placed before me,
don't live your life with regret
because there will be things that you will miss.
To the people that can hear us,
here's a message that's unwinding.

Don't break hearts and try to shake hands,
because we're living in a time of living's last chance.
Let your spirit soar.
Don't break hearts and try to shake hands,
because we're living in a time of living's last chance.
Let your spirit soar.

If you don't believe me,
I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Yeah, right. Woah.

4 AM, the boy can't fall asleep,
cause his actions always haunts him in his dreams.
So heed his warning and don't break hearts.

Don't break hearts and try to shake hands,
because we're living in a time of living's last chance.
Let your spirit soar. Woah


3.An Unseen Direction

It's a feeling like fireworks
that explode inside my chest
your kiss creates the spark
that ignites my very best
there's a rumor
and I know you know it's true
that you've got my heart locked in your room
and this world's not half as bright
when there's a me without a you
we've got it better than all the rest in an unseen new direction
trying hard to be the best
so can i please have your attention

I float away every time that i touch your face
it feels so great
and we can't stop now and slow this down
as we give in to love and fate

holding hands with fingers locked
our hearts they race like ticking clocks
wind them up and start again
the time is here now babe so don't pretend
if there s a moment more perfect than tonight
let me hear all the dreams you have inside
i wanna make them all come true
and make you feel alive

baby baby let me in
lets throw precaution to the wind
the lights they slowly start to dim
emotions flood my senses

I float away every time that i touch your face
it feels so great
and we can't stop now and slow this down
as we give in to love and fate

Woo!

Give me one chance to take your breath away

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


4.Reverie

Another morning with my eyes towards the Hudson
Wishing the current would carry me away
I would kill to make it to the Atlantic
If the world would only stop for me

Another day that I can't face your blue eyes
We're falling apart
and I'm scared to death
You were much worse for wear and I...
Am taking the blame for this

I am falling towards the coast
Let the waves crash over me
To life, to glory goes the toast
as I become the sea

Lord, get me out of this city tonight
Cause you are what made me feel alive
Here I am again, running away from the truth
Just know, that you move me, like I've never been moved
Yeah, like I've never been moved

Another night, looking past you towards the Hudson
Wishing I could move the mountains with my two eyes
I would kill to make it to the horizon
If the world would only stop for us

Another day that I crumbled beneath the sky
My regret is taking the place of all my dreams
It's all thats left to fill the void you left behind
But I, I guess I always had the choice

I am falling towards the coast
Let the waves crash over me
To life, to glory goes the toast
as I become the sea

Lord, get me out of this city tonight
Cause you are what made me feel alive
Here I am again, running away from the truth
Just know, that you move me, like I've never been moved
Yeah, like I've never been moved

They say the wind is everyone that you've ever loved
Grazing their lips upon your cheek
(spending forever in reverie...)
And they say the wind is everyone that you've ever loved
Grazing their lips upon your cheek

Lord, get me out of this city tonight
Cause I just want to make it out alive
Lord, get me out of this city tonight
Oh, you made me feel alive
Oh, Here I am
Here I am again, running away from the truth
And just know, that you move me, like I've never been moved

Lord, get me out of this city tonight
Cause you are what made me feel alive
Here I am again, running away from the truth
Just know, that you move me, like I've never been moved
Yeah, you move me, like I've never been moved

Yeah, you move me, like I've never been moved


5.Smooth Sailing

Lately I have noticed change,
Like a vessel overcome by waves.
Except our anchor's down,
As we make paradise clear.
Oh, how the years have passed,
Progression's fast, but it never last,
Long enough for us to steer.

I am not a fighter.
And I'm not much for love.
But this current is oh so strong,
As we let ourselves sail the seas.
She's sweet, I know she's sweet,
But not as sweet as melody.

It feels like sand between my toes.
This goes to show, what you can do,
If you just let go.
It could be raining, don't be complaining.
But I'll just let all these rainbows shine.


6.The New Is In

It feels like a lover,
I won't see in the morning.
So I keep my eyes open through the night.
I take these things for more than what they're worth.
Call me a hopless romantic, call me just plain pathetic,
I am what I feel, and tonight I don't feel that much.

The new is in, the new is in.
I'm feeling better all ready.
I shed my skin, I shed my skin.
My head is starting to steady.

I'm sorry I won't be reachable for days,
I'm cutting myself off.
Please leave me be in my misery,
I'm making ammends with my concious.

So, come next year I won't be reachable for days,
Because I'm taking time to let this story write it's page.
I'm now convinced that there will be no other way.

Break apart the boy I used to be,
And build the man that I've become.
I am a saint in sinners clothing,
Watch me save the world.
I am a saint in sinners skin,
Now let the healing begin.
Let the healing begin.

I can look myself in the eye now,
I can feel some magic happening.
I can breathe on my own now,
I can feel my body sinking in.
Sinking in, sinking in


7.The World As We Know It

So lets sing the executioner song
Why cant we all just get along
In spite of all our differences
Its starts a laugh
A warm heartfelt embrace
Now all we need is love
To make this something great (to make this something great)

Everybody's just somebody watching the show
Everybody feel your body losing control
Lets let our hearts speak to our minds
Lets let our minds speak to our souls

Whoa
Do you know we all pump the? same red blood into our veins
Do you know that we all wish upon the same stars
For the same things
Heart in heart
Our hands they all fit
This is the world as we know it

Lets stop the pointless fighting
And lets start living and loving
Lets stop the pointless fighting
And lets start living and loving
And if they cut out our tongues
We'll still sing loud
We will be strong, we will be heard
Simply cut off our tongues
We'll sing it louder than before

Everybody's just somebody watching the show
Everybody feel your body losing control
Lets let our hearts speak to our minds
Lets let our minds speak to our souls

Whoa
Do you know we all pump the? same red blood into our veins
Do you know that we all wish upon the same stars
For the same things
Heart in heart
Our hands they all fit
This is the world as we know it

Everybody's just somebody watching the show
Everybody feel your body losing control
Lets let our hearts speak to our minds
Lets let our minds speak to our souls

Whoa whoa

Whoa
Do you know we all pump the? same red blood into our veins
Do you know that we all wish upon the same stars
For the same things
Heart in heart
Our hands they all fit
This is the world as we know it

This is the world as we know it

Heart in heart
Our hands they all fit
This is the world as we know it


8.Violins And Trees (Unforgettable)

my soul was swayed
by violins and trees
I was sick for dark
as the wind sank through the breeze
here's the pagentry
and heres the carnival
as the start of dusk creeps upon us all

and I will know you by
how your body speaks to me
as we wander the night
singing to the streets
and I will know you by
how you live for all your dreams
you're unforgettable
you're unforgettable

faint footsteps like
a thousand overtures
the lure of friendly eyes, the voices of the night
we'll drift like summer sounds
on the summer air
whisper like violins
while waiting for you there

and I will know you by
how your body speaks to me
as we wander the night
singing to the streets
and I will know you by
how you live for all your dreams
you're unforgettable
you're unforgettable

and I will know you by
how your body speaks to me
as we wander the night
singing to the streets
and I will know you by
how you live for all your dreams
you're unforgettable
you're unforgettable
(Ooooohh)


9.The Sound Of Something Secure

So here's to what we do best
you'll never here this about the rest
but, it seems like times are changing
so i guess i'll start explaining
give it to me nice and slow
and then, i'll teach you everything i know

can you hear it?
can you hear it calling?
raise the mast and set the sail.
we'll carve a path, we'll start a trail.
keep the cannons ready
because i can not see what is up ahead.

the choirs singing reckless nonsense
the words assemble answers in our heads
and i have hope of coming home

so let me defend your honor
and i will give you my name
my valor grows with exuberance
and now our souls are sustained
and to this cosmic correction
of our undying dreams
and we'll let fate play it's part
as well pull ties from the seems

can you hear it?
can you hear it calling?
raise the mast and set the sail.
we'll carve a path, we'll start a trail.
keep the cannons ready
because i can not see what is up ahead.

have you solved this riddle?
decipher my rhyme.
the universe works easier;
when you keep it in mind.

the choirs singing reckless nonsense
the words assemble answers in our heads
and i have hope of coming home

the choirs singing reckless nonsense
(the stars they tell me the message)
the words assemble answers in our heads
(that tomorrow is finally here)
and i have hope of coming home

have you solved this riddle?
decipher my rhyme.
the universe works easier;
when you keep it in mind


10.Shine

I step outside into the light
the sun is bright
I close my eyes
the summer caught me by surprise
and now I'm left here waiting
for you to tell me how it is
if I could only get a kiss
I could make you take a risk
on a boy who wants this

and now the sun has sunk below
the evening wind, it starts to blow
I catch the sent of your perfume
it lifts me higher than the moon

I'll be fine
if you stay by my side
never felt this way in my whole life
never had this feeling before tonight
can't get you off my mind
cause you shine, girl, oh you know you shine

your eyes are brighter than the sun
they make me see that you're the one
your smile takes my breath away
and leave me with nothing left to say
you arent like any other girl
that I've met in this whole world
you're so much more than they can be
so won't you just be with me

I'll be fine
if you stay the night
never felt this way in my whole life
never had this feeling before tonight
can't get you off my mind
cause you shine, girl, oh you know you shine

I would give up forever to see the day
where the both of us could just walk away

never felt this way in my whole life
never had this feeling before tonight
can't get you off my mind
cause you shine, girl, oh you know you shine

never felt this way in my whole life
never had this feeling before tonight
can't get you off my mind
cause you shine, girl, oh you know you shine


11.There's A Bully In The Park

This is swell.
This is fine.
Stop wasting all my air because it's mine.
Can we try one more time?
Cuz I'm running out of sympathy and I'm running out of rhymes.

We could start a fire but we can't stop tonight.

J: I'll shelter.
A: I'll be the storm.
J: I'll keep you comfortable and warm.
A: I'll tear these buildings board by board until you can't feel
me anymore.
J: I'll be the castle.
A: I'll be the mortar.
J: I'll hold my defense hard and long.
A: I'll grind these buildings brick my brick until there's
nothing left but torches on your floor.
J: I'll be the empire.
A: I'll be the fall.
J: We'll be the empire.
A: We'll be the fall.


12.Pilot To Base

pilot to base.
flight 13 is falling fast.
we've lost power and I don't know how much longer we will last

and won't it be a beautiful sight.
a single streak of fire moving across the amber sky knowing I'm
in side.
chances are I won't survive

and when they find this black box in the sea
I hope they see its you not me
because they never 'meant it anyway'.
we're falling faster to the ground
and when we crash I hope it doesn't make a sound
because they never know 'what to say'

and won't it be a beautiful sight.
a single streak of fire moving across the amber sky knowing I'm
in side.
chances are I won't survive

you used to command this flight but now it's my turn
and I'm bringing her down fast.
there's 40 parachutes on this plane and you're number 41

and won't it be a beautiful sight.
a single streak of fire moving across the amber sky knowing I'm
in side.
chances are I won't survive


13.You Vs. The World

dear, old friend
it's so sad to see you fall
as you build your demise
in the white powdered walls

dear, old friend
it's so sad to see you fall
I'm praying to god
for some way to stop this all

to the broken, the lost and hurt
if you feel like its you vs. the world
just know, we're on your side

I offer a willing ear and open arms
I know just what you're feeling like
but you can not run your past
I'm always here if you need me
we're always here to be your crutch
you're more than vapor and shadow
and you're better than this side

to the broken, the lost and hurt
if you feel like its you vs. the world
just know, we're on your side
just know, we're on your side
just know, we're on your side

we wish for you the best

even sunshine burns if you get too much
we're always here to hold you up
even sunshine burns if you get too much
we're always here to be your crutch
even sunshine burns if you get too much
we're always here to hold you up
even sunshine burns if you get too much
we're always here to be your crutch
even sunshine burns if you get too much
we're always here to hold you up
even sunshine burns if you get too much
we're always here to hold you up

just know, we're on your side
just know, we're on your side
just know, we're on your side
