To Lose My Life

White Lies To Lose My Life Lyrics
1.Death

I love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the saftey in the clouds out my window

i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneth these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying
so frightend of dying
relax yes im trying
this fears got a hold on me
yes, this fears got a hold on me
yes, this fears got a hold on me

i love the quite of the night time
when the sun in the deathly sea
i can feel my heart beating as i speed from
then sense of time catching up with me

the sky set out like a pathway
but who decides which path we take
as people drift into a dream world
i close my eyes as my hands shake
and when i see a new day
who's driving this anyway
i picture my own grave
cause fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down i wonder when i'll hit the ground
well the earth beneth my body shake
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
could it tremble stars from moon light skies
could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
i live on the right side i sleep in the left
thats why everythings got to be love or death
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me
yes this fears got a hold on me


2.To Lose My Life

He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was always careless as a child.

And there's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
But a desperate fear flows through my blood,
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud.

Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.

I said I've got no time I have to go,
And I was more right then now I'll ever know.
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret,
And left him crying next to the chapels steps.

Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.

Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.
Let's grow old together,
And die at the same time.

He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was careless as a child.

There's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
A desperate fear flows through my blood,
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud


3.A Place To Hide

Did I sit alone and ask about my future?
When you replied I just turned away
I've been searching through my books to try and find some truth
Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way

And if I made a promise, could I stay by your side?
Would you guarantee my safety?
And say that I'd be all right
But if Judgement Day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
and I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I'll think we'll be all right, girl

And I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People of the mountains,
screaming 'I'll be back!'
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in!
Need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times that I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
So I think my friendly sins are here to stay

And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind

And if Judgement Day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I think we'll be all right, girl

And I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains,
screaming 'I'll be back!'
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in!
Need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
I need a place to hide before the storm begins


4.Fifty On Our Foreheads


5.Unfinished Business

Just give me a second darling, to clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill

I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon
Shone through cracks in your hair.
I shouted with passion,
'I love you so much'
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch.
You whispered 'where are you?'
I questioned your doubt
But soon realised, you were talking to God now

You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to

But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low and let's kiss like we used to

I looked in the mirror
But something was wrong.
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone.
There was smoke in the fireplace
As white as the snow.
A voice beckoned gently
'Now it's time to go'
A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
'Don't touch me!' I screamed
'I've got unfinished business'

You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to

But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, and let's kiss like we used to

You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine
I just need more time
So get off your low and let's dance like we used to

But there's a light in the distance
Waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, and let's kiss like we used to


6.E.S.T.

If you tell me to jump, then I'll die
In my dreams, I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams, I'm there

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

If you tell me to jump, then I'll die
In my dreams, I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams, I'm there

I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor
of my fears with the nurse on the steps
I'm only going where you'll be someday,
so don't say 'Rest in peace' in your prayers

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hold you
Remember me
I hold you
Never pretend for me
I hold you
Remember me
I hold you

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never pretend for me
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you
Never forget about me
I hope you
Remember me
I hope you


7.From The Stars

I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral,
He took the time out to be seen.
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch,
that he'd been given by a magazine.

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon,
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again,
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so
small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel,
Passing through the sick streets where he was born
He said 'Driver, what's happened to these buildings?
They all look run down and so alone.'

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,
Put the Do not Disturb on his door
When the maid came in the morning
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so
small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so
small
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands


8.Farewell To The Fairground

Lights still in our eyes, we're leaving this whole fairground
behind,
it's a dream that's going cold.
Circus never dies, the act forever haunts these skies,
I know we cannot stay.

Farewell to the fairground,
these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town,
until the ice begins to thaw.

This place used to gleam, I see it in my hopeful dreams,
now I had to get away.
We move towards the stars, and all that we touch becomes ours,
lets keep warm till it's day.

Farewell to the fairground,
these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town,
until the ice begins to thaw.

We'll head south, just hold my hand now.
I feel like i'm casting off my clothes
and i'm running through the snow towards the sunset
where i'm always with you.

Keep on running, keep keep on running,
there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
Keep on running, keep keep on running,
there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

Keep on running, keep keep on running,
there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
Keep on running, keep keep on running,
there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

Keep on running, keep keep on running,
there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
Keep on running, keep keep on running,
there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

Farewell to the fairground,
these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town,
until the ice begins to thaw.

We'll head south, just hold my hand now,
I feel like i'm casting off my clothes,
and i'm running through the snow towards the sunset,
where i'm always with you.


9.Nothing To Give


10.The Price Of Love

don't lay a finger I said,
but he held her with (?)
kissed the crest of her lips
and put his hand on her thigh
one million in a week
all the girls gonna go
I'd kill you in a second
he laughed yeah I know

I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
but it's not enough to win her back
as my tears hit the floor, he still said no
come on man give me some slack
I looked at the case, he said I'll show you her blood
I screamed down the phone line: so is this the price of love?

when I stare in your eyes I see the image of god
well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past 9 and said I've done all I can
he said you win some you lose some I feel bad for you man

he slammed down the phone, took his coat from the bed
she said what happens now, (?)
she said I love you, and pleaded for a hero to save
you knew deep inside that he planned it this way

I gave him my heart now he's left it to die
and I know I can't go back
he walks out the room, shouted see you around
she begged, come on give me some slack

you said, there's no hope but babe you can wait for that
door(?)'
she screamed from the window, so is the price of love?
said is this the price of love?
said is this the price of love?

so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?
so is this the price of love?


11.Black Song

I can't think straight,
I've been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

And misery is like a hearse,
cause you know where you're going,
There's crowds at the windows,
but no way of knowing,

who they got this time,
and who's going next,
she always leaves a letter
and signs off with an S.

I can't think straight,
I've been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

And misery is like a hearse,
cause I know where you're going
The waves getting higher
And I'm tired of rowing

She whispers in my ear
Sings the cold Black Song
Hold me a while longer
She won't be gone for long

And fetch the cargirl
I think it's time we got out of here
No brakes into the night
And we sang as my mistress
And we got a fine witness
Just drive to lift their lives.
