Paper Walls

Yellowcard Paper Walls Lyrics
1.The Takedown

I feel things changing when I move
(It's a distance, It's a difference)
I'll cross this planet without you
(and you might call, it's a downfall)
It's one long night that I'm passing through
(It's a dark one, what have I done)
Don't turn your back on me now
You can do this
And don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this
The lonely one, your greatest takedown
Left last night with a long goodbye
(With some red wine, through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that won't surprise
(And I don't know, how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(Are you tempted, when you lay me)
Don't turn your back on me now
You can do this
And don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this
The Broken one, your greatest takdown
You take me down
I won't get by
I won't heal in time
Don't turn your back on me now
You can do this
And don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this
The chosen one, your greatest takedown
You take me down
end
Don't turn your back on me now
Don't turn your back on me now
Don't turn your back on me now
Left last night with a long goodbye
I won't get by


2.Fighting

I said I'd moved on and I'll leave it alone,
But before I walk out there is something that I need you to
know,
I got lost in a blink of an eye,
And I can never get back, no I've never got back,
You were not there when I wanted to say,
That you were everything that right
and it wasn't you but me to change,
Now I got to go it alone,
What am I fighting for,
There must me something more,
For all these words I sing,
I said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
You were all that i had,
You were delicate and hard to find,
I got lost in the back of my mind,
And I can never get back, no I've never got back
You were not there when I needed to say,
I hit the bottom so fast that my head was spinning 'round for
days,
Now I gotta go it alone,
What am I fighting for,
There must me something more,
For all these words I sing,
What am I fighting for,
Said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
Said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
Said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
Said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
What am I fighting for,
There must me something more,
For all these words I sing,
What am I fighting for (No I'm never gonna give up, give up)
Said that I'd fight for the one that I've found,
I'm gonna stay here while I wait for you to come around,
I fight you're a part of me now,
And I will never give up, no I'll never give up

END
What am I fighting for,
What am I fighting for,
What am I fighting for,
I said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
What am I fighting for,
What am I fighting for (No I'm never gonna give up, give up)
Said I'm ok but I know how to lie,
Said that I'd fight for the one that I've found,
Said I'm ok but I know how to lie,


3.Shrink the World

If I could then I, shrink the world tonight
If I could then I, shrink the world tonight,
If I could then I, shrink the world tonight,
If I could then I'd shrink the world tonight,
so that I would find you and me inside.
Yellowcard - Shrink the World
A life and love a picture of a place I know where near,
A bleeding heart a good headstart to anywhere but here.
Just let me out please let me out before I turn in to,
a box of things reminding me how much I'm missing you.
If I could then I, shrink the world tonight,
so that I would find you and me inside.
Of the last good scene a film that changes things,
And through the wall, the fists you call but then you allways
run
so what's it for the love and war, it's only fail for some
You saved the girl you saved the world, but that's not true it
seems.
A lesson learned speak out a turn I bite my tongue it bleeds.
If I could then I, shrink the world tonight,
so that I would find you and me inside.
Of the last good scene a film that changes things,
breaks us makes us see, leaves us wondering.
If I could then I, shrink the world tonight
so that I would find you and me inside.
Of the last good scene a film that changes things
breaks us makes us see, leaves us wondering.
(If I could 3x) Shrink the world tonight (If I could 3x)
Shrink the world tonight.
end


And through the wall, the fists you call but then you allways
run


4.Keeper

I wanna love, I wanna leave
I Want You To Love Me
I want you To Leave me
I Wanna Stand Where I Can See
I'm Watching you Love Me
I Wish I Could Be Somebody Else
I Wish I Could See You In Myself
Wish there Was Something Inside Me
To Keep You Beside Me And
Say What You Really Feel
You Know I Need Something That's Real
I Wish there Was Something Inside Me
I Wanna Know If I Could Be
Someone to Turn To
That Could Never Hurt You
But I Know What You Think Of Me
Yea, You Had a Break-Through
I Wish I Could Be Somebody Else
I Wish I Could See You In Myself
Wish there Was Something Inside Me
To Keep You Beside Me And
Say What You Really Feel
You Know I Need Something That's Real
I Wish there Was Something Inside Me
I Should've Told You Everything
I Never Gave You Anything
I Should've Told You Everything
If I Could Give You Anything
I Wish I Could Be Somebody Else
I Wish I Could See You In Myself
Wish there Was Something Inside Me
To Keep You Beside Me And
Say What You Really Feel
You Know I Need Something That's Real
Wish there Was Something Inside Me
I Should've Told You Everything
I Should've Told You Everything
I Should've Told You Everything

I Wish I Could Be Somebody Else
I Wish I Could Be Somebody Else
I Wanna Know If I Could Be
I Should've Told You Everything
I Should've Told You Everything
I Wish I Could Be Somebody Else


5.Light Up the Sky

You're making choice to live like this,
And all of the noise,
I am Silence.
We already know how it ends tonight,
You run in the dark through a firefight.
And I would explode just to save your life,
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
I can't find a wall to pin this to,
They're all coming down since I've found you.
I just wanna be where you are tonight.
I run in the dark looking for some light,
And how will we know if we just don't try,
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
Let me light up the sky,
Just for you tonight.
Let me help you fly,
Cause you won't have time.
To cover your eyes,
Or get your disguise,
They won't ask you why,
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
So you play this part,
And the show goes on.
But you've come this far with a broken heart,
Yeah you've come this far,
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I'll ignite for you,
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
But you've come this far with a broken heart.
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky.
end
Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky,
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky,
I can't find a wall to pin this to,
And it's still so hard to be who you are,
Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky,


6.Shadows and Regrets

I'm back, back in town,
and everything has changed.
I feel, feel let down,
the faces stay the same.
I see, see shadows of who we used to be.
When I drive, drive so slow trough this memory.
When we were only kids,
and we were best of friends,
And we hoped for the best,
I heard, heard myself say things I take back.
If I could, could re-tell,
and make these stories last.
I see, see shadows of who we'll always be.
When I drive,
drive these roads that made our memories.
And we were only kids,
And we hoped for the best,
and let go of the rest.
The shadows and regrets,
let go of the rest.
Everything has changed,
the faces stay the same.
Everythng has changed,
When we were only kids,
and our time couldn't end,
And how tall did we stand,
with the world in our hands.
And we were only kids,
and we were best of friends,
And we hoped for the best,
and let go of the rest.
The shadows and regrets,
let go of the rest.
The shadows and regrets,
let go of the rest.
end

I heard, heard myself say things I take back.
And we hoped for the best,


When we were only kids,


7.Five Becomes Four

Did you run away?

Needed some time
So I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I've become
What I have done
I'm riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down
Only around
For you I go again
It's got to be, easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down, dragging me out
Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore?
When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore?
Try and put aside
Your history and pride
Maybe for one moment in time
We'll all be on your side
The story goes, nobody knows
What it was like when you were through
Someone who cared out in the air
Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore?
When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore?
Remember the line never say die?
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go?
I need to know
I waited here, you never showed
It's gonna pay, harder for me
I can't forgive so many things
When you weren't there, I was around
Why would you try and hold me now?
Just tell me why
Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore?
When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
When five becomes four
When five becomes four
When five becomes four

Did you run away?
I'm riding it out
Did you run away?
Did you run away?
When you are all alone with the melody
Try and put aside
When you are all alone with the melody
Remember the line never say die?
When you are all alone with the melody
When five becomes four


8.Afraid

lie in this empty bed
with this aching head
you left me here this morning now
i can't remember, why i let you in again
to get under my skin
and every time you disappear and i remember
i look for you, but i cant see your face
i am afraid right now
i dont wanna let you down
and i am the one who cant be saved
the only thing i say
i am afraid right now what if i cant get out
what if i don't want to be saved
now, theres no place like home
to make me feel alone, see you everywhere i am
and i remember, how you ran out to hide
kept me close behind
following your every move so i remember
i look for you, but i cant see your face
i am afraid right now
i don't wanna let you down
i am the one who cant be saved
the only thing i say
i am afraid right now what if i cant get out
what if i don't want to be saved
this is me afraid
i look for you but i cant see your face
then i hear you the only thing you say
dont look for me cause you will never say
why do we keep this up?
why do we live like us?
when there is nothing left to save
i am afraid right now
what if you let me down
you are the one who cant be saved
if only i could say
i am afraid right now
you will never get out
you never let yourself be saved
you are so afraid you are so afraid
end
i am the one who cant be saved

i am afraid right now
why do we keep this up?


i am afraid right now
now, theres no place like home
i am afraid right now


9.Date Line (I Am Gone)

This is a just a matter of
Me getting what I needed
'Til I was safe up on the other side
Of the international Date Line
It was just a matter of
Me keeping myself seated
'Til the pilot killed the overdrive
find me there
when you hold one chance
and you break your hands
when the secret's safe
and you call my name
I am tired of you and me
and the spaces in between
and I would rather be somewhere
with better thoughts and warmer air
I'm tired of trying to be
somebody different than me
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
when the lights go out
I'll run from here
when you hold one chance
and you break your hands
when the secret's safe
when you call my name
when the heart gets railed
and you still can't feel
when you can't escape
and you can not stay
safe up on the other side
of the international date line
I landed in a place
you can't find me there
when you hold one chance
and you break your hands
when the secret's safe
and you call my name
when the heart gets railed
and you still can't feel
when you can't escape
and you can not stay
safe up on the other side
of the international date line
I landed in a place
when the last plane leaves
and you call for me
when you lie awake
and you feel it break
then I am gone


find me there


when you hold one chance
when you hold one chance
you can't find me there
when the last plane leaves
I am tired of you and me
safe up on the other side
safe up on the other side
I'll run from here
when you hold one chance


10.Dear Bobbie

Dear Bobbie,
Do you remember when you were young and very pretty?
I do, I remember pleated skirts, black and white sattle shoes.
Do you remember dancing that night?
I do, I still think of you when we dance,
Do you remember when
How long has it been?
1945 you opened my blue eyes
Do you remember when
I told you this that night,
That if you're by my side
When everyday begins
I'll fall for you again
I made a promise when
I'll be fine
When I die, then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
When I die then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
Do you remember the times we would give up on eachother
and get back together, then we finally was married in 1949.
We drove the yellow convertible all night long.
Do you remember? I do.
Life has led us here
Together all these years
This house that we have made
Holds twenty-thousand days
And memories we've saved
And I'll be fine
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
Cause when I die then I die loving you
I'm coming home to you
Stepping off my shoes
Resting in my chair
See you standing there
I'm coming home to you
When I lay tonight, when I close my eyes
I know the sun will rise
Here the next life
I'll be fine
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
Cause when I die then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
You have gray hair now but you're a beautiful women and
the years have been good to both of us. We walk slow now,
but we still have eachother.
The glue of love is still bonding us together.
That is what I remember.
Do you remember?

I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'm coming home to you
And I'll be fine
I'm coming home to you
Do you remember when

Do you remember when


11.You and Me and One Spotlight

It won't be long now
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
Ill hold you close then
Ill let you know when
The space and time bend
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Ill look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
So watch the world burning bright
we ARE READY
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)
end
Go put on your best tonight
Go put on your best tonight
Say you will be all around me
Ill look for your eyes
Go put on your best tonight
Say you will be all around me


12.Cut Me,Mick

Yellowcard - Cut Me, Mick
I can't keep this together
and I might lose this year
i can't get through december
and you know all my fears
some place somewhere behind me
i walked right through the truth
the truth is that you're the one thing
that always pulls me through
you are the one that i need
you know that i can still breathe
bring me back to life
bring me back to life
you let me down but i tried
to keep my feet on the ground
bring me back to life
and when i thought that i might be invincible
it wasnt long before i was invicnble
to your eyes and i swear
there's nothing left in here
and the more you say you don't care
you are the one that i need
you know that i can still breathe
bring me back to life
bring me back to life
you let me down but i tried
to keep my feet on the ground
bring me back to life
i can't keep this together (you'are the one that i need)
i can't stay sick forever (you know that i can still breathe)
i can't stop this disater (you bring me down from my cloud)
you are the one that i ned
you know that i can still breathe
bring me back to life
you are the one that i need
you know that ic an still breathe
bring me back to life

you are the one that i need
you are the one that i need

you are the one that i ned
you are the one that i need
you are the one that i need


13.Paper Walls

Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Where the only thing that's real is
Visions we have of ten years ago
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and East Coast lines,
Here I am, still holding onto this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Don't listen too close
The words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Some love to hate and some tell you lies
So let's make a toast and kiss them goodbye
Here I am, still holding onto this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Let's take what hurts and write it all down
On these paper walls and this empty house
And when our ink runs out,
Here I am, still holding onto this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone

Don't listen too close
Let's take what hurts and write it all down
Here I am, still holding onto this dream we had
Here I am, still holding onto this dream we had
Here I am, still holding onto this dream we had
