Just Like Blood

Tom Mcrae Just Like Blood Lyrics
1.A Day Like Today

Welcome back
Says the voice on the radio
But I never left
I was always right here

In your hand all the colours
You thought were kings
At the turn of a card
Can just disappear

I wish I could comfort you
If love is our defence
It's alright I can comfort you
If you let me I could love you to death

Need to see
Need to say
Need to be
Something beautiful

I can't get today
Out of my mind
Need to say need to call
To love someone beautiful
A day like today
Has stained my eyes

All I ever say
And all i ever do
Is just a message to you
And all i ever play
Are the cards you gave me
It's just my version of the truth

All I ever say
And all i ever do
Is just a message to you
And all i ever play
Are the cards you gave me
It's just my version of the truth

I wish I could comfort you
If love is our defence
It's alright I can comfort you
If you let me I could love you to death
If you let me I could love you to death


2.You Only Disappear

Close my eyes I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone your radio

Baby I'll call up a storm
Keep you safe from harm
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear

I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool

But this is all I can say
I have lost my way
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear

With a word with a line
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
Baby says goodbye

It's raining now
On Royal Street
And I'd walk to you
If I could trust my feet


3.Ghost Of A Shark

I'm gonna leave any minute
See the skyline disappear
Head out of the city
Burn my clothes bury my fears

Oh you will never know I was here

Tell me now is there difference
Between a shark and the ghost of a shark
'Cause all I have are secrets and memories of the dark
Oh rip away the skin burn my heart

I'm gonna leave any minute
Another skyline disappears
Sunlight in the mirror
Blinding me all these years
Oh am I coming back
I'll never leave
Oh am I coming back
I'll never leave


4.Stronger Than Dirt

Somebody wake me up
The dream is growing cold
And the night is all we have
Left to hold

Somebody sail this ship
Navigate this crowd
For what I once saw as land
I see as cloud

But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared

Sometimes nothing is
The better hand
And you throw it all for this
I understand

But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared will you
Will you, will you, will you

And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Will you

You will never get close to me
You will never get close to me
This is who we are
This is who we are
You will never get close to me
Who we are...
You will never get close to me
Who we are...


5.Overthrown

We fall
Through water
Unsung unseen
And days
Thought endless
Lose more
Light and heat

So let the dead bury the dead
I should leave

For I am
For I am overhtrown
Confess to me now
Confess to me now

Half in sunlight
And half in shade
Words in collision
I bend to your shape
I see the skull beneath the skin
I see it all

For I am
For I am overhtrown
Confess to me now
Confess to me now

For I am
For I am overhtrown
Confess to me now
Confess to me now
Confess to me now


6.Walking 2 Hawaii

Falling feels like flying
Until you hit the ground
And everything is beautiful
'Till you take a look around
So let it go

Turn the bow into the wave boys
I feel a storm coming in
And every bridge we build we burn
And never learn to swim
No we never learn to swim
So let it go

Lead me to the edge and watch
See how far we both can drop
Let it all just slip away
Let it fade

We'll walk to Hawaii
A final sunset on the waves
The perfect girl the perfect place
To watch the world go down in flames
Wouldn't that be a shame
So let it go

Lead me to the edge don't stop
Beauty always had a cost
And as the air slips from our lungs
We'll sing songs of love
Oh love, oh love...


7.Mermaid Blues

Ice has formed
And there's snow between the tracks
And I have seen the surface tear and
I can't look back

And cool low sun
Has blinded you for days
From horizon to horizon
Can I dream this all away

But over the water
Over the water
Over the sea
There's you shining bright
In a sea of fools
Oh I can sing you out of this
Can shake your mermaids blues

Come with me
For alone I fear the tide
It's calling me and dragging me
And I think it's time

But over the water
Over the water
Over the water
Over the sea

Shape your mouth
To fit these words of war
I see the arrows falling backwards
Burning for a cause

I'll swim with you
Until my lungs give out
Oh I can raise you from the deep
Or drown with you in doubt

But over the water
Over the water
Over the water with you
With you, with you ...


8.Karaoke Soul

Pull me close look into my eyes
Smile at me when you stick in the knife
We're bleeding into a cup when we've got enough
We'll just paint the walls
And we don't care how much it hurts
You think you're cursed it's what you deserve

'Cause you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
Let me treat you for your disease

Between angels and ropes babe what would you chose?
As you kick the dust from your perfect shoes
Your wolf suit is wearing thin and your real skin looks like it
never bleeds
And you're playing to the crowd as the ship goes down comforting
me

'Cause you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
If you see me falling sleep
Please don't wake me from this dream

Yeah you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
If you see me falling sleep
Please don't wake me from this dream

Yeah you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
Let me treat you for your disease

Faith is gone and love is gone
Your disease
And fear is stronger now
Your disease...


9.Line Of Fire

I confess
I confess I was wrong
Tasted blood tasted blood and was gone
Suddenly suddenly you were warned
Shooting stars in flight from the dawn

I'm the breath on your face
You think you are safe
I am watching you
I'm the voice that you hear
When no one is near
I am watching you
'Cause you're in the line
Line of fire

Southern skies
Southern skies shrink my world
This should end but I can't let you go
I'm the breath on your face
You think you are safe
I am watching you
I'm the voice that you hear
When no one is near
I am watching you
'Cause you're in the line
The line of fire
'Cause you're in the line
The line of fire

Faded away you have faded away
You watch and you stil don't know
And I've fallen alone
You can't feel it alone
You know you can't say
You can't say

I'm the breath on your face
You think you are safe
I am watching you
I'm the face that you see
You wake from your dreams
I am watching you

Faded away you have faded away
You watch and you still don't know
And I've fallen alone
You can't feel it alone
You have said you don't know
You can't know


10.Human Remains

The picture is burned at the edge
And you're looking away
Looking for what's next
And strange how through time we look the same
Your eyes and mine looking away
Too scared to see human remains

And soon enough soon enough
This will all be a memory
And soon enough soon enough
This will fade like the photograph
Of you and me

Our history is just in our blood
And history like love is never enough
And I recognise so much of you
In these eyes always so blue
Why always so blue

And soon enough soon enough
This will all be a memory
And soon enough soon enough
This will fade like a photograph

Those things that I've lost and things that I've sold
This case is now closed the trail has gone cold
And your sticks all are snakes i throw them aside
They twist 'til they break but they never die
This is not enough this is not enough
This is not enough this is not enough for me
This is not enough this is not enough
This is not enough for any of us to be

The picture is burned at the edge
And you're looking away looking for what's next
Tell me what's next
