Woman lyrics - City and Colour
Woman
My love is never ending
Like a sea without a shore
Woman
I'm a fool guilty of old crimes
But you are the one I adore
Woman
When the world has emptied
and the planet is covered in dust
I will stand beneath the silver moon rising
Waiting to resurrect our love
Woman
My love is never ending
Like a sea without a shore
Woman
I'm a fool guilty of old crimes
But you are the one I adore
Woman
When the world has emptied
and the planet is covered in dust
I will stand
Stand beneath the silver moon rising
Waiting to resurrect our love
Woman
My love is never ending
Like a sea without a shore
Woman
I'm a fool guilty of old crimes
You are the one I adore
Woman
When the world has emptied
and the planet is covered in dust
I will stand
Stand beneath the silver moon rising
Waiting to resurrect our love
My love is never ending
Like a sea without a shore
Woman
I'm a fool guilty of old crimes
But you are the one I adore
Woman
When the world has emptied
and the planet is covered in dust
I will stand beneath the silver moon rising
Waiting to resurrect our love
Woman
My love is never ending
Like a sea without a shore
Woman
I'm a fool guilty of old crimes
But you are the one I adore
Woman
When the world has emptied
and the planet is covered in dust
I will stand
Stand beneath the silver moon rising
Waiting to resurrect our love
Woman
My love is never ending
Like a sea without a shore
Woman
I'm a fool guilty of old crimes
You are the one I adore
Woman
When the world has emptied
and the planet is covered in dust
I will stand
Stand beneath the silver moon rising
Waiting to resurrect our love
Northern Blues lyrics - City and Colour
I've got too much in front of me
And not enough left behind
I've got too much in front of me
I didn't leave enough behind
I can hear the devil whisper
Payin' no heed to what he says
I can hear the devil whisper
Staking no weight to his claim
And I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Got my soul in want of
Some post-mortem truth
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I have no understanding
For standing outside of time
Three hundred thousand hours
Still I remain hungry for the light
The world is disappearing
Little by little
Day by day
Three hundred thousand hours
Still the weather it has not changed
And I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Got my soul in want
Of some post-mortem truth
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I'm all torn down
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Northern blues
And not enough left behind
I've got too much in front of me
I didn't leave enough behind
I can hear the devil whisper
Payin' no heed to what he says
I can hear the devil whisper
Staking no weight to his claim
And I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Got my soul in want of
Some post-mortem truth
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I have no understanding
For standing outside of time
Three hundred thousand hours
Still I remain hungry for the light
The world is disappearing
Little by little
Day by day
Three hundred thousand hours
Still the weather it has not changed
And I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Got my soul in want
Of some post-mortem truth
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I'm all torn down
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Northern blues
Mizzy C lyrics - City and Colour
I keep recycling stories from my youth
That I've told before
Conversations with myself
Have become such a bore
Struggling to find the rhythm
In these blues of mine
I've been living out of focus
Bearing of life and lie
If I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
Ooh
Now I've been given the gift of persistence
But it's become a curse
Unraveling backward
In the distance I heard a dirge
I can see a man
On his face there's no trace of time
There's a strange and mad idea I must find
If I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
Ooh
I wanna change direction
If I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
So if I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
Ooh
That I've told before
Conversations with myself
Have become such a bore
Struggling to find the rhythm
In these blues of mine
I've been living out of focus
Bearing of life and lie
If I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
Ooh
Now I've been given the gift of persistence
But it's become a curse
Unraveling backward
In the distance I heard a dirge
I can see a man
On his face there's no trace of time
There's a strange and mad idea I must find
If I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
Ooh
I wanna change direction
If I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
So if I try to change direction
I might not find what I'm looking for
But this bitter disposition
Well now must surely run its course
Ooh
If I Should Go Before You lyrics - City and Colour
If I should go
before you
When that long night comes
We'll meet in the ever after
Please don't follow me
into the sun
If you should cross
the white light
and find yourself
in the black
I'll be right there
behind you
You will have no need
to look back
And when the night
cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet again...
If I should go
before you
Into the great
unknown
I'll leave my ghost right
beside you
You won't have to wait
alone
And when the night
cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet...
Crying ourselves awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet again.
before you
When that long night comes
We'll meet in the ever after
Please don't follow me
into the sun
If you should cross
the white light
and find yourself
in the black
I'll be right there

You will have no need
to look back
And when the night
cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love

Until we meet again...
If I should go

Into the great

I'll leave my ghost right
beside you
You won't have to wait

And when the night
cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet...
Crying ourselves awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love
will remain
Until we meet again.
Killing Time lyrics - City and Colour
What if you're here when I'm not ready?
What if I'm not willing to listen?
I hope these devils never leave me
'Cos I keep taking what they're giving
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Lately I've been thinking about
Just who I'm supposed to be
There are lines forming on my hands and face
Before today I have never seen
But right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Killing time, oh
Killing time, oh
Oh
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I think that I was never really there
Right now it feels like killing time
What if I'm not willing to listen?
I hope these devils never leave me
'Cos I keep taking what they're giving
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Lately I've been thinking about
Just who I'm supposed to be
There are lines forming on my hands and face
Before today I have never seen
But right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Killing time, oh
Killing time, oh
Oh
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I think that I was never really there
Right now it feels like killing time
Wasted Love lyrics - City and Colour
Careless love
Quit pouring honey in my ears
You're speaking diamonds crystal clear
So far away I want you near
Crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
Day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love
Careless love
There's more to say than should be said
Can't get these words straight in my head
You make me feel so powerless
I'm crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
Day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love
Wasted love
Wasted love
Crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
Day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love
Wasted love
Wasted love
Quit pouring honey in my ears
You're speaking diamonds crystal clear
So far away I want you near
Crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
Day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love
Careless love
There's more to say than should be said
Can't get these words straight in my head
You make me feel so powerless
I'm crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
Day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love
Wasted love
Wasted love
Crying out for more
Just a little more
Tied down on the floor
Like a prisoner of war
Oh, I've been down so long
Day is nearly gone
I must carry on
With this wasted love
Wasted love
Wasted love
Runaway lyrics - City and Colour
I know I have earned it
But most days I don't feel like I deserve this
To the victim go the spoils, through this mortal coil
Oh how the years have been so kind to me
I found the permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
I can taste the salt on your skin
And feel the sunshine on my face
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
Finally free from the past
How long could a feeling like this last?
The road away from here
Is long and steep my dear
Oh how the years have been so kind to me
I found the permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
Where I can taste the salt on your skin
And feel the sunshine on my face
We're gonna run, we're gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
We're gonna run
I found the permanent plance
Where the skies are gold not grey
We're gonna run
We're gonna run
Ooh [x8]
But most days I don't feel like I deserve this
To the victim go the spoils, through this mortal coil
Oh how the years have been so kind to me
I found the permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
I can taste the salt on your skin
And feel the sunshine on my face
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
Finally free from the past
How long could a feeling like this last?
The road away from here
Is long and steep my dear
Oh how the years have been so kind to me
I found the permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
Where I can taste the salt on your skin
And feel the sunshine on my face
We're gonna run, we're gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway
From the day
We're gonna run
I found the permanent plance
Where the skies are gold not grey
We're gonna run
We're gonna run
Ooh [x8]
Lover Come Back lyrics - City and Colour
Bound for trouble from the start
I've been walking through this old world in the dark
All along right by my side
There you were shining, my ray of light
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
Lover come back, lover come back to me
I'll never be as good as I'd like to be
Eternally restless refusing to believe
But I think that we missed our connection
I wanted to feel your affection
Until my final days
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
Lover come back, lover come back to me
I am warm enough yet I still shiver
I am fed but still I starve
You know me I am the great misgiver
Always waiting on the clouds to part
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
So lover come back, lover come back to me
Lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
So lover come back, lover come back to me
I've been walking through this old world in the dark
All along right by my side
There you were shining, my ray of light
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
Lover come back, lover come back to me
I'll never be as good as I'd like to be
Eternally restless refusing to believe
But I think that we missed our connection
I wanted to feel your affection
Until my final days
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
Lover come back, lover come back to me
I am warm enough yet I still shiver
I am fed but still I starve
You know me I am the great misgiver
Always waiting on the clouds to part
I sing lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
So lover come back, lover come back to me
Lover come back, lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back, ever come back to me
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave
So lover come back, lover come back to me
Map Of The World lyrics - City and Colour
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
Each line representing a mile
I have traveled from place to place
The colours are fading
The edges are tattered
It's grown a little worn with age
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
That I cannot erase
I cannot erase
Ooh
I cannot erase
The current of life pulled me under
I was swept away
Expanding the distance between us
Every second to every day
I thought I had given
All I could offer
While trying to keep the dogs at bay
But the current of life pulled me under
I was swept away
Beneath the tidal wave
Beneath the tidal wave
Ooh
Beneath the tidal wave
Beneath the tidal wave
I will be erased
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
That lies upon my weary face
Each line representing a mile
I have traveled from place to place
The colours are fading
The edges are tattered
It's grown a little worn with age
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
That I cannot erase
I cannot erase
Ooh
I cannot erase
The current of life pulled me under
I was swept away
Expanding the distance between us
Every second to every day
I thought I had given
All I could offer
While trying to keep the dogs at bay
But the current of life pulled me under
I was swept away
Beneath the tidal wave
Beneath the tidal wave
Ooh
Beneath the tidal wave
Beneath the tidal wave
I will be erased
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
There is a map of the world
That lies upon my weary face
Friends lyrics - City and Colour
Here I am again
Trading in a group of friends
To hopefully make amends
With everything I've done wrong
A last ditch effort
To find something better
And leave well enough alone
I will wait for all the words of happiness
I will wait for all the words of jubilation
I will hope for just an ounce of confidence
To offer myself some sort of congratulations
There is a light I'm trying to find
Between the water and the open sky
I know that's where the wild winds blow
Through times of trouble
Or just a simple stumble
I can go and make some real good noise
Still I wait for all the words of happiness
Still I wait for all the words of jubilation
I will hope for just an ounce of confidence
To offer myself some sort of congratulations
I wanna live where the wild winds blow
I know
I wanna live where the wild winds blow
I know
Trading in a group of friends
To hopefully make amends
With everything I've done wrong
A last ditch effort
To find something better
And leave well enough alone
I will wait for all the words of happiness
I will wait for all the words of jubilation
I will hope for just an ounce of confidence
To offer myself some sort of congratulations
There is a light I'm trying to find
Between the water and the open sky
I know that's where the wild winds blow
Through times of trouble
Or just a simple stumble
I can go and make some real good noise
Still I wait for all the words of happiness
Still I wait for all the words of jubilation
I will hope for just an ounce of confidence
To offer myself some sort of congratulations
I wanna live where the wild winds blow
I know
I wanna live where the wild winds blow
I know
Blood lyrics - City and Colour
I'd like to take my time
There's a good reason I must find
I want to put a few miles down
I'd like to feel my two feet on the ground
Another year's hard work done
I've paid for it with all of my blood
I've given you more than I'm worth
I want to dig my fingers into the earth
Because I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well
The sun is just rising up
Mother birds feeding their young
The light of a brand new day
I think we've finally found a home in this place
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well
I know there's beauty buried beneath
There's beauty buried beneath
I know there's beauty buried beneath
There's beauty buried beneath
I know there's beauty buried beneath
(There's beauty buried beneath)
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well
There's a good reason I must find
I want to put a few miles down
I'd like to feel my two feet on the ground
Another year's hard work done
I've paid for it with all of my blood
I've given you more than I'm worth
I want to dig my fingers into the earth
Because I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well
The sun is just rising up
Mother birds feeding their young
The light of a brand new day
I think we've finally found a home in this place
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well
I know there's beauty buried beneath
There's beauty buried beneath
I know there's beauty buried beneath
There's beauty buried beneath
I know there's beauty buried beneath
(There's beauty buried beneath)
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well
The Hurry And The Harm lyrics - City and Colour
Everyone wants everything no matter the cost, we're longing to live in a dream.
But we can't let go to all that we think we know, this great escape until we give up the ghost.
But why are we so worried more about the hurry and less about the harm?
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer anything more than a broken heart.
Oh what a cost for love.
Only want oh simple things, mourning the loss and what could have been.
When did I let go to all that I use to know this grave mistake has left an absence of hope.
But why are we so worried more about the hurry and less about the harm?
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer anything more than a broken heart.
Oh what a cost for love [x4]
I'm going back to the start.
But we can't let go to all that we think we know, this great escape until we give up the ghost.
But why are we so worried more about the hurry and less about the harm?
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer anything more than a broken heart.
Oh what a cost for love.
Only want oh simple things, mourning the loss and what could have been.
When did I let go to all that I use to know this grave mistake has left an absence of hope.
But why are we so worried more about the hurry and less about the harm?
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer anything more than a broken heart.
Oh what a cost for love [x4]
I'm going back to the start.
Harder Than Stone lyrics - City and Colour
Someday I will walk away
When time ain't drawing on me like a blade
Back turned to the setting sun
Leaving behind Toronto's incessant hum
‘Cause I was born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight
Of a world undone
But I don’t mean to be a bother
I don’t need you to take my burden away
And I ain’t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
Traipsing though the utter dark
Walking underneath the dead moonlight
Without any great concern
For what I’ve missed or how many bridges have burned
Like a bird who flies
Away from the North
My heart will roam
In search of warmth
But I don’t mean to be a bother
I don’t need you to take my burden away
And I ain’t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
When my time comes
When I was young
I didn’t know too much
I thought that I could rule the world
Then I grew up
And found out life was hard
Harder than stone
When time ain't drawing on me like a blade
Back turned to the setting sun
Leaving behind Toronto's incessant hum
‘Cause I was born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight
Of a world undone
But I don’t mean to be a bother
I don’t need you to take my burden away
And I ain’t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
Traipsing though the utter dark
Walking underneath the dead moonlight
Without any great concern
For what I’ve missed or how many bridges have burned
Like a bird who flies
Away from the North
My heart will roam
In search of warmth
But I don’t mean to be a bother
I don’t need you to take my burden away
And I ain’t afraid of dying
Cold and alone
When my time comes
When I was young
I didn’t know too much
I thought that I could rule the world
Then I grew up
And found out life was hard
Harder than stone
Of Space And Time lyrics - City and Colour
There's a murder of crows,
Flying high over head,
On this desolate road,
Well I tend to forget,
About you and I,
And I'll fight to survive
Through this thunderous life.
When we're not side by side.
I’m roaming through the hills,
All alone,
I’m trying to find my direction home,
A question of space,
A matter of time,
I follow the stars until the first light.
I don’t know what drugs to take,
To successfully alter the state,
That my mind has been in as of late,
Something is eating away at my brain,
There’s an elephant in the back of the room,
And it’s standing in plain view,
Everyone can see,
That it looks just like me.
I’m roaming through the hills.
All alone,
I’m trying to find my direction home,
A question of space,
A matter of time,
I follow the stars until the first light.
I will not call this road home,
Though it is all I know,
I will not call this road home,
Though it is all I know.
I’m roaming through the hills.
All alone,
I’m trying to find my direction home,
A question of space,
A matter of time,
I follow the stars until the first light.
Flying high over head,
On this desolate road,
Well I tend to forget,
About you and I,
And I'll fight to survive
Through this thunderous life.
When we're not side by side.
I’m roaming through the hills,
All alone,
I’m trying to find my direction home,
A question of space,
A matter of time,
I follow the stars until the first light.
I don’t know what drugs to take,
To successfully alter the state,
That my mind has been in as of late,
Something is eating away at my brain,
There’s an elephant in the back of the room,
And it’s standing in plain view,
Everyone can see,
That it looks just like me.
I’m roaming through the hills.
All alone,
I’m trying to find my direction home,
A question of space,
A matter of time,
I follow the stars until the first light.
I will not call this road home,
Though it is all I know,
I will not call this road home,
Though it is all I know.
I’m roaming through the hills.
All alone,
I’m trying to find my direction home,
A question of space,
A matter of time,
I follow the stars until the first light.
The Lonely Life lyrics - City and Colour
What if I did not love you?
Where would that leave me
Would I wander through the avenues
Under a pall of misery
Would I be face down in the gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
Only if one last desperate request
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
I've been on the lam
Being hunted, somethin' fierce
They say time and tide, it waits for no man
But I was just hopin'
These storm filled skies would clear
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
Where would that leave me
Would I wander through the avenues
Under a pall of misery
Would I be face down in the gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
Only if one last desperate request
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
I've been on the lam
Being hunted, somethin' fierce
They say time and tide, it waits for no man
But I was just hopin'
These storm filled skies would clear
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
Paradise lyrics - City and Colour
I’m looking for a way out
For a place that no one knows
Please take me away now
Somewhere it don’t feel so cold
Troubles on my mind
Troubles on my mind
For the rest of the days I’ve cried
For the rest of the days I’ve cried
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
Gonna go where the spirit guides
All alone
My silhouette is fading
Past the point of safe return
Now my body’s aching
As both ends of the candle burn
My heart is beating slow
My heart is beating slow
It’s worn me to the bone
It’s worn me to the bone
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
Gonna go where the spirit guides
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
For a place that no one knows
Please take me away now
Somewhere it don’t feel so cold
Troubles on my mind
Troubles on my mind
For the rest of the days I’ve cried
For the rest of the days I’ve cried
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
Gonna go where the spirit guides
All alone
My silhouette is fading
Past the point of safe return
Now my body’s aching
As both ends of the candle burn
My heart is beating slow
My heart is beating slow
It’s worn me to the bone
It’s worn me to the bone
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
Gonna go where the spirit guides
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
I’m searching for a paradise
That I just can’t seem to find
I’m searching for a paradise
For the time of my life
Commentators lyrics - City and Colour
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I would take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary
What gave you the impression
That your opinion means anything to anyone?
What gave you the right
To bear arms against me… against us?
You’re nothing but a bunch of amateur commentators
Who live your lives hiding behind a wall of insecurities
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I would take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary
Imagine it’s already broken
As you hold it in your hand
Think of all the work you’re doing
As work that you can only understand
Suppose it’s already faded
As it drapes across your back
Believing all you have is wonderful
Instead of everything that you lack
[2x]
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I would take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I would take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary
What gave you the impression
That your opinion means anything to anyone?
What gave you the right
To bear arms against me… against us?
You’re nothing but a bunch of amateur commentators
Who live your lives hiding behind a wall of insecurities
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I would take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary
Imagine it’s already broken
As you hold it in your hand
Think of all the work you’re doing
As work that you can only understand
Suppose it’s already faded
As it drapes across your back
Believing all you have is wonderful
Instead of everything that you lack
[2x]
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I would take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary
Thirst lyrics - City and Colour
When I think of
Fates worse than death
All I can think of
Is something you said
You said we were golden
Bright like the sun
And now I am stranded
Knowing I'm not the one
An ocean of anger
Flowing through me
Blood-stained and broken
From what I failed to see
And just like a snake charmer
You led me astray
Living in distress
Hoping help was on the way
In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
I came upon one single feather
A half-hearted wish for something better
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
Attached to the soil
I'm dyed in the wool
There's iron in my blood
Yet so vulnerable
But after I'm gone
Once I finally leave
You will be left alone
To the wolves and the thieves.
In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
I came upon one single feather
A half-hearted wish for something better
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
I thirst
Fates worse than death
All I can think of
Is something you said
You said we were golden
Bright like the sun
And now I am stranded
Knowing I'm not the one
An ocean of anger
Flowing through me
Blood-stained and broken
From what I failed to see
And just like a snake charmer
You led me astray
Living in distress
Hoping help was on the way
In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
I came upon one single feather
A half-hearted wish for something better
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
Attached to the soil
I'm dyed in the wool
There's iron in my blood
Yet so vulnerable
But after I'm gone
Once I finally leave
You will be left alone
To the wolves and the thieves.
In the midst of a storm searching for shelter
I came upon one single feather
A half-hearted wish for something better
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
Gracefully cursed
I thirst
I thirst
Two Coins lyrics - City and Colour
Northwest is where I'm heading,
Underneath the golden sky
I'm searching for a wisdom
That every man seeks to find
I've got wicked thoughts a brewin'
Many even deeds I've done
I'm looking for a reason
For a reason not to run
[Chorus 2x]
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
I've got no destination
No place to call my own
I'll explore the constellations
'Til I find the course I mean to hold
But come fever or come famine
Come the biting winter cold
Just put two coins upon my eyelids
So I can pay the boatman's toll
[Chorus 2x]
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
[Bridge]
I've been so unforgiving
Stranded in old traditions
[Chorus 2x]
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
Underneath the golden sky
I'm searching for a wisdom
That every man seeks to find
I've got wicked thoughts a brewin'
Many even deeds I've done
I'm looking for a reason
For a reason not to run
[Chorus 2x]
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
I've got no destination
No place to call my own
I'll explore the constellations
'Til I find the course I mean to hold
But come fever or come famine
Come the biting winter cold
Just put two coins upon my eyelids
So I can pay the boatman's toll
[Chorus 2x]
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
[Bridge]
I've been so unforgiving
Stranded in old traditions
[Chorus 2x]
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
Take Care lyrics - City and Colour
Take better care
Of yourself, my friend
For, you never know
When it will all
Come to an end
Cause only time will tell
When death shall ring his bell
So take better care
Of yourself, my friend
Cause you are a single grain
A mere molecule
Mistaken for a king
You're only a simple fool
I will provide you
With a reason to believe
I will not desert you
In your time of need
And so sudden the winds change
And so sudden you lose your faith
I will provide you
With a reason to believe
Cause you are a single grain
A mere molecule
Mistaken for a king
You're only a simple fool
So take, better care
Of yourself, my friend
Take better care
Of yourself, my friend
Of yourself, my friend
For, you never know
When it will all
Come to an end
Cause only time will tell
When death shall ring his bell
So take better care
Of yourself, my friend
Cause you are a single grain
A mere molecule
Mistaken for a king
You're only a simple fool
I will provide you
With a reason to believe
I will not desert you
In your time of need
And so sudden the winds change
And so sudden you lose your faith
I will provide you
With a reason to believe
Cause you are a single grain
A mere molecule
Mistaken for a king
You're only a simple fool
So take, better care
Of yourself, my friend
Take better care
Of yourself, my friend
Ladies And Gentlemen lyrics - City and Colour
It's the poison running
Through your blood
It's the broken levee
That brought the flood
It's the loaded barrel of a gun
There is darkness roaming
Through everything
Evil urges awakening
But, the bitter souls
Who will never rest
Good luck,
Ladies and Gentlemen
It's all the days when
You're lacking love
And you hear the cry from
The morning dove
Then you feel the breath
Leave your lungs
There is darkness roaming
Through everything
Evil urges awakening
The bitter souls
Who will never rest
Good luck,
Ladies and Gentlemen
Through your blood
It's the broken levee
That brought the flood
It's the loaded barrel of a gun
There is darkness roaming
Through everything
Evil urges awakening
But, the bitter souls
Who will never rest
Good luck,
Ladies and Gentlemen
It's all the days when
You're lacking love
And you hear the cry from
The morning dove
Then you feel the breath
Leave your lungs
There is darkness roaming
Through everything
Evil urges awakening
The bitter souls
Who will never rest
Good luck,
Ladies and Gentlemen
The Golden State lyrics - City and Colour
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
There's something about it, to which I cannot relate
I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
I need to hear the colder wind whistling through the winter pines
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
People still follow their dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay
Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels
They're living like they're kings and queens, from some royal age
But fortune and fame won't save you, when California
Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
People still follow their dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay
No, I will never stay
Never stay
Never stay
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
There's something about it, to which I cannot relate
I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
I need to hear the colder wind whistling through the winter pines
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
People still follow their dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay
Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels
They're living like they're kings and queens, from some royal age
But fortune and fame won't save you, when California
Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake
Why's everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State?
People still follow their dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay
No, I will never stay
Never stay
Never stay
Death's Song lyrics - City and Colour
What becomes of me
When you stop listening?
Do I disappear into the silence?
Or return from the void with brand new life?
Will I find a resting place?
Somewhere to wash my hands and face
Gathering the harvest for all I need
Collapsing into this place of ease
I’m singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
This is my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
This is my death song
When you stop listening?
Do I disappear into the silence?
Or return from the void with brand new life?
Will I find a resting place?
Somewhere to wash my hands and face
Gathering the harvest for all I need
Collapsing into this place of ease
I’m singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
This is my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
Singing my death song
This is my death song
The Way It Used To Be lyrics - City and Colour
This is the story of a man
Who took for granted everything he had
And how he let it all just slip away
Never to return again
Now twenty years have come and gone
And still he wonders what he did so wrong
And how that he can win back her heart
And finally step outside of the dark
He buys fresh roses everyday
Her favourite flower so she used to say
And now the memories all that he has left
And I'm afraid he'll drink himself to death
This is the story of a man
Who took for granted everything he had
And how he let it all just slip away
Never to return again
It's clear she's moved on long ago
But he still clings on to a distant hope
That she'll come back and make a happy home
For now it's him and the bottle all alone
Sometimes you'll see him in the yard
A wounded man with a desperate heart
He keeps the hedges trimmed nice and neat
To keep them the way that they used to be
This is the story of a man
Who took for granted everything he had
And how he let it all just slip away
Never to return again
A single dress hangs on it's own
The scent of perfume all he has to hold
A wasted life waiting on a dream
Hoping for things the way they used to be
This is the story of a man (this is the story of a man)
Who took for granted everything he had (everything he had)
And how he let it all just slip away (he let it slip away)
Never to return again (to return again)
Who took for granted everything he had
And how he let it all just slip away
Never to return again
Now twenty years have come and gone
And still he wonders what he did so wrong
And how that he can win back her heart
And finally step outside of the dark
He buys fresh roses everyday
Her favourite flower so she used to say
And now the memories all that he has left
And I'm afraid he'll drink himself to death
This is the story of a man
Who took for granted everything he had
And how he let it all just slip away
Never to return again
It's clear she's moved on long ago
But he still clings on to a distant hope
That she'll come back and make a happy home
For now it's him and the bottle all alone
Sometimes you'll see him in the yard
A wounded man with a desperate heart
He keeps the hedges trimmed nice and neat
To keep them the way that they used to be
This is the story of a man
Who took for granted everything he had
And how he let it all just slip away
Never to return again
A single dress hangs on it's own
The scent of perfume all he has to hold
A wasted life waiting on a dream
Hoping for things the way they used to be
This is the story of a man (this is the story of a man)
Who took for granted everything he had (everything he had)
And how he let it all just slip away (he let it slip away)
Never to return again (to return again)
We Found Each Other In The Dark lyrics - City and Colour
I heard the church bells from afar,
But we found each other in the dark.
And when the smoke does finally pass
We will rise above all the ash.
Cause we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
At last.
So bright, the flames burned in our hearts,
That we found each other in the dark.
Like beasts out in the wilderness
We are fighting to survive and convalesce.
But we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
Like the rest.
Through the black starless water,
And the cold lonely air.
On the rock restless seas,
The vessel in deep disrepair.
And I swore they started singing,
But then oh, rejoice!
I can still hear your voice.
Then I heard the church bells from afar
But we found each other in the dark
But we found each other in the dark.
And when the smoke does finally pass
We will rise above all the ash.
Cause we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
At last.
So bright, the flames burned in our hearts,
That we found each other in the dark.
Like beasts out in the wilderness
We are fighting to survive and convalesce.
But we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live
Like the rest.
Through the black starless water,
And the cold lonely air.
On the rock restless seas,
The vessel in deep disrepair.
And I swore they started singing,
But then oh, rejoice!
I can still hear your voice.
Then I heard the church bells from afar
But we found each other in the dark
Natural Disaster lyrics - City and Colour
Can you imagine all the homes abandoned and all alone?
With no one left to care for their wilting bones
The paint is peeling off the walls
The corners are filled up with dust
Cigarette smoke hangs in the air
And the grass ain't growin' like it did long ago
Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation
Or an economic tragedy tore apart its family
They're all empty
The pipes have long since seized
The windows are all boarded up
There's no electricity flowing through these lifeless veins
Cracks are running down the walls
Where picture frames used to hang
A hint of heartbreak still lingers in the air
And weeds have choked the breath out of it long ago
Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation
Or and economic tragedy tore apart it's family
They're all empty
They're all empty
With no one left to care for their wilting bones
The paint is peeling off the walls
The corners are filled up with dust
Cigarette smoke hangs in the air
And the grass ain't growin' like it did long ago
Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation
Or an economic tragedy tore apart its family
They're all empty
The pipes have long since seized
The windows are all boarded up
There's no electricity flowing through these lifeless veins
Cracks are running down the walls
Where picture frames used to hang
A hint of heartbreak still lingers in the air
And weeds have choked the breath out of it long ago
Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation
Or and economic tragedy tore apart it's family
They're all empty
They're all empty
The Grand Optimist lyrics - City and Colour
I fear I'm dying from complications, complications due to things that I've left undone
That all my debts will be left unpaid, feel like a cripple without a cane
I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none
Then there's my father he's always looking on the bright side
Saying things like “Son, life just ain't that hard”
He is the grand optimist, I am the world's poor pessimist
You give him burdensome times and he will escape unscarred
I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother
But I used to be quite resilient, gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
And now the wound has begun to turn, another lesson that has gone unlearned
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy
I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother
I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother
That all my debts will be left unpaid, feel like a cripple without a cane
I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none
Then there's my father he's always looking on the bright side
Saying things like “Son, life just ain't that hard”
He is the grand optimist, I am the world's poor pessimist
You give him burdensome times and he will escape unscarred
I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother
But I used to be quite resilient, gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
And now the wound has begun to turn, another lesson that has gone unlearned
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy
I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother
I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother
Little Hell lyrics - City and Colour
What if I can't be all that you need me to be
We've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep
But my addiction it can be such a detriment
Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent
What if everything's just the way that it will be
Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief
My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart
And my aim is steady and true as it's been right from the start
There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
So when we leave it'll be a quick midnight escape
We'll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday
I'll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well
Then we'll throw our coins down hoping to rid us of this little hell
There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories.
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
We've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep
But my addiction it can be such a detriment
Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent
What if everything's just the way that it will be
Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief
My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart
And my aim is steady and true as it's been right from the start
There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
So when we leave it'll be a quick midnight escape
We'll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday
I'll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well
Then we'll throw our coins down hoping to rid us of this little hell
There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories.
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Fragile Bird lyrics - City and Colour
When she sleeps
There is a fever dream, yeah
It brings a night terror
To harm this fragile bird
She speaks in tongues
Her words they come undone, yeah
And with a wayward mind
She struggles through the night
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night
These cold nightmares
They make her worse for wear
Lost in the dark
She's got a heavy heart
And when she wakes
In her fragile state
Well, she calls my name
Hoping that I keep her safe
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
There is a fever dream, yeah
It brings a night terror
To harm this fragile bird
She speaks in tongues
Her words they come undone, yeah
And with a wayward mind
She struggles through the night
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night
These cold nightmares
They make her worse for wear
Lost in the dark
She's got a heavy heart
And when she wakes
In her fragile state
Well, she calls my name
Hoping that I keep her safe
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Northern Wind lyrics - City and Colour
You're the Northern Wind
Sending shivers down my spine
You're like fallen leaves
In an autumn night
You're the lullaby
That's singing me to sleep
You are the other half
You're like a missing piece
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don't know
What you do to me
You are all four seasons
Rolled into one
You're like the cold December snow
In the warm July sun
I'm the jet black sky
That's just before the rain
Like the mighty current
Pullin' you under the waves
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don't know
What you do to me
I'm the darkest hour
Just before the dawn
And I'm slowly sinking
Into the slough of despond
Like an old guitar
Worn out and left behind
I have stories still to tell
They're of the healing kind
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
If I could just
Find you tonight
If I could just find you tonight
Oh my love
Do do do [x5]
Sending shivers down my spine
You're like fallen leaves
In an autumn night
You're the lullaby
That's singing me to sleep
You are the other half
You're like a missing piece
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don't know
What you do to me
You are all four seasons
Rolled into one
You're like the cold December snow
In the warm July sun
I'm the jet black sky
That's just before the rain
Like the mighty current
Pullin' you under the waves
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don't know
What you do to me
I'm the darkest hour
Just before the dawn
And I'm slowly sinking
Into the slough of despond
Like an old guitar
Worn out and left behind
I have stories still to tell
They're of the healing kind
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
If I could just
Find you tonight
If I could just find you tonight
Oh my love
Do do do [x5]
O' Sister lyrics - City and Colour
Oh sister
What's wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable
My sister
What made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you
What have the demons done?
What have the demons done?
With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes
What makes you feel so alone
Is it the whispering ghosts
That you feared the most
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather
Oh sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough like a road map of sorrow
My sister
There is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child who's longing for comfort
What's running through your veins
That's causing you such pain?
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you?
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather
Oh sister
My sister
Oh sister
My sister
What's wrong with your mind?
You used to be so strong and stable
My sister
What made you fall from grace?
I'm sorry that I was not there to catch you
What have the demons done?
What have the demons done?
With the luminous light that once shined from your eyes
What makes you feel so alone
Is it the whispering ghosts
That you feared the most
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather
Oh sister
Those lines etched in your hands
They're hardened and rough like a road map of sorrow
My sister
There is a sadness on your face
You're like a motherless child who's longing for comfort
What's running through your veins
That's causing you such pain?
Does it have something to do with the pills they gave to you?
What is eating at your soul?
Was it the whispering ghosts that left you out in the cold?
But the blackness in your heart
Won't last forever
I know it's tearing you apart
But it's a storm you can weather
Oh sister
My sister
Oh sister
My sister
Weightless lyrics - City and Colour
Come close
Lay next to me
Come close
Lay next to me
I need to tell you something important
So stay close
Remain next to me
I need to feel important
It's your eyes that I don't believe
And my heart you will
You will mislead
Do you know the consequence
That comes with having such confidence?
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and you walk away from me
So what is this now
You ask of me
What makes your pain such an urgency?
Now I'm worn out
So plain to see
Once again my dear a brand new tragedy
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and you walk away from me
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and you walk away from me
Bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and you run away from me
You're bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and you run away from me
Lay next to me
Come close
Lay next to me
I need to tell you something important
So stay close
Remain next to me
I need to feel important
It's your eyes that I don't believe
And my heart you will
You will mislead
Do you know the consequence
That comes with having such confidence?
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and you walk away from me
So what is this now
You ask of me
What makes your pain such an urgency?
Now I'm worn out
So plain to see
Once again my dear a brand new tragedy
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and you walk away from me
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and you walk away from me
Bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and you run away from me
You're bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and you run away from me
Sorrowing Man lyrics - City and Colour
Sorrowing man, look how worn you've become,
You once were Lord of the barren sea
There's blood on our hands, in this perfect madness,
You're living on borrowed time
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
There's no sympathy for we don't know the cure,
Cause what you've got, well it runs too pure
But you've lived and breathed more than any man I know
But you're not done, oh, at least, I hope
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
In this life that we have made together
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
You once were Lord of the barren sea
There's blood on our hands, in this perfect madness,
You're living on borrowed time
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
There's no sympathy for we don't know the cure,
Cause what you've got, well it runs too pure
But you've lived and breathed more than any man I know
But you're not done, oh, at least, I hope
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
In this life that we have made together
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way
Silver And Gold lyrics - City and Colour
Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb
Oh the seas ran dry and the winds had calmed
The skyscrapers fell, and crumbled to dust,
And their skeletons of steel were covered in rust
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Colours were drained straight from the sky
And nothing living had survived
Mountains were merely removed from the earth
And silver and gold had lost all its worth
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat
I was full of doubt and deep regret,
For suddenly it was all so clear to me;
There was nothing left in which to believe
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
[Note: Dallas has stated that he hasn't titled this song yet,
He said that for the people who were going to upload it to Youtube
To name it "New Song" but we like "Silver and Gold" better]

Hope For Now lyrics - City and Colour
This highway's dark and empty.
Just miles and miles of endless road.
I've got a sickness pounding in my head.
I'm at the mercy of the ghost.
What will it take to live as if I would not another day?
To live without despair, and to be without disdain.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
I sought after, after reasons to stay.
I was lost, I was lost.
Then the sky turned black,
And the rains poured down.
I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
Then I would sing all that I could sing
Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time.
Oh when I sing all that I can sing
Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right.
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Just miles and miles of endless road.
I've got a sickness pounding in my head.
I'm at the mercy of the ghost.
What will it take to live as if I would not another day?
To live without despair, and to be without disdain.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
I sought after, after reasons to stay.
I was lost, I was lost.
Then the sky turned black,
And the rains poured down.
I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
Then I would sing all that I could sing
Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time.
Oh when I sing all that I can sing
Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right.
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Forgive Me lyrics - City and Colour
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
Before I have the chance to lie
To you, my dear, who I wish no harm
But I know in the end this will turn out wrong
See I've been known to fall in love
But sometimes love just is not enough
And my heart will stray before too long
So please forgive me for when I sing this song
[Note: The Demo Version of this song has slightly different lyrics at the end:
"So please JUST LISTEN TO when I sing this song, I sing this song"]

Confessions lyrics - City and Colour
I've been up for days,
Trying to find a way to write this confession down
Seems every line I write's a miss,
At least this I'll admit
For what I've done, I am not proud
But there's no need to pretend, no need for innocence
I've got to be honest now
My verdict has come in,
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time.
I thought I could escape,
But then I finally felt the weight,
Of my crimes.
It's passion, it's not love,
Infatuation never ends up right.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
The prosecution rests,
With convincing evidence.
It seems I've been deceived.
So now I stand alone and wait for the first stone,
To be cast upon me.
My verdict has come in,
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time.
I thought I could escape,
But then I finally felt the weight
Of my crimes.
It's passion, it's not love,
Infatuation never ends up right.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
Trying to find a way to write this confession down
Seems every line I write's a miss,
At least this I'll admit
For what I've done, I am not proud
But there's no need to pretend, no need for innocence
I've got to be honest now
My verdict has come in,
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time.
I thought I could escape,
But then I finally felt the weight,
Of my crimes.
It's passion, it's not love,
Infatuation never ends up right.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
The prosecution rests,
With convincing evidence.
It seems I've been deceived.
So now I stand alone and wait for the first stone,
To be cast upon me.
My verdict has come in,
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time.
I thought I could escape,
But then I finally felt the weight
Of my crimes.
It's passion, it's not love,
Infatuation never ends up right.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
The Death Of Me lyrics - City and Colour
Do I have nothing good left to say?
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints?
People love to drink their troubles away.
Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way.
'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.
So here's to living life miserable.
And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told.
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow.
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.
Maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
Finally, I could hope for a better day.
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind.
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy.
But then again I'll probably always feel this way.
At least I know I'll never sleep at night. (Sleep at night)
I'll always lie awake until the morning light. (Til the morning light)
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints?
People love to drink their troubles away.
Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way.
'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.
So here's to living life miserable.
And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told.
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow.
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.
Maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
Finally, I could hope for a better day.
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind.
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy.
But then again I'll probably always feel this way.
At least I know I'll never sleep at night. (Sleep at night)
I'll always lie awake until the morning light. (Til the morning light)
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
Body In A Box lyrics - City and Colour
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
Traffic screeches to a halt.
There's people searching for a better way,
To live their lives.
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
In the middle of the night.
[Chorus:]
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
While their souls are still searching for the light,
Searching for the light.
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
Just let me go in peace.
With all the things that I forgot to say,
Racing through my mind.
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
Just burn my body in a box.
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
Out into the night sky.
[Chorus]
Traffic screeches to a halt.
There's people searching for a better way,
To live their lives.
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
In the middle of the night.
[Chorus:]
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
While their souls are still searching for the light,
Searching for the light.
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
Just let me go in peace.
With all the things that I forgot to say,
Racing through my mind.
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
Just burn my body in a box.
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
Out into the night sky.
[Chorus]
Sleeping Sickness lyrics - City and Colour (feat. Gordon Downie from The Tragically Hip)
I awoke
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night
So it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Gordon Downie]
I've become
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
And like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
oh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
oooohhh my life
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Could it be this misery will suffice?
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night
So it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Gordon Downie]
I've become
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
And like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
oh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
oooohhh my life
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Could it be this misery will suffice?
What Makes A Man? lyrics - City and Colour
I can hear my train comin'
It's a lonesome and distant cry
I can hear my train comin'
Now I'm runnin' for my life
What makes a man walk away from his mind?
I think I know
I think I might know
I can feel the wind blowin'
It's sending shivers down my spine
I can feel the wind blowin'
It shakes the trees and the power lines
What makes a man spend his whole life in disguise?
I think I know
I think I might know
I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh
I can see the sun settin'
It's casting shadows on the sea
I can see the sun, it's setting
It's getting colder, starting to freeze
What makes a man want to break a heart with ease?
I think I know
I think I might know
I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh
Well I can hear my train comin'
Looks like time is not on my side
Well I can hear my train comin'
I'm still runnin' for my life
What makes a man pray, when he's about to die?
I think I know
I think I might know
I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh, oh oh
I think I might know
I think I might know, woah oh
It's a lonesome and distant cry
I can hear my train comin'
Now I'm runnin' for my life
What makes a man walk away from his mind?
I think I know
I think I might know
I can feel the wind blowin'
It's sending shivers down my spine
I can feel the wind blowin'
It shakes the trees and the power lines
What makes a man spend his whole life in disguise?
I think I know
I think I might know
I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh
I can see the sun settin'
It's casting shadows on the sea
I can see the sun, it's setting
It's getting colder, starting to freeze
What makes a man want to break a heart with ease?
I think I know
I think I might know
I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh
Well I can hear my train comin'
Looks like time is not on my side
Well I can hear my train comin'
I'm still runnin' for my life
What makes a man pray, when he's about to die?
I think I know
I think I might know
I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh, oh oh
I think I might know
I think I might know, woah oh
Waiting... lyrics - City and Colour
A coma might feel better than this,
attempting to discover where to begin.
You're weighed down, you're full of something.
Of sickness, and desertion.
You're weighed down, you're full of something,
you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush
we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
Hoping a better place is all I need,
with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh, it's the little things you miss.
Like waking up all alone.
Oh, it's the little things you miss,
when you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush
we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
All your friends seem like enemies
when you're broken down and empty.
All your friends seem like enemies
when you're broken down and empty.
So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush
we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
attempting to discover where to begin.
You're weighed down, you're full of something.
Of sickness, and desertion.
You're weighed down, you're full of something,
you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush
we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
Hoping a better place is all I need,
with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh, it's the little things you miss.
Like waking up all alone.
Oh, it's the little things you miss,
when you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush
we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
All your friends seem like enemies
when you're broken down and empty.
All your friends seem like enemies
when you're broken down and empty.
So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush
we're all just waiting, waiting to die.
Constant Knot lyrics - City and Colour
How much would you bet
That if I tried hard enough
I would spontaneously combust
I wish I could disappear
and run away from all of my fears
I think I'm coming undone
So stay the night
I promise that I won't bite
'Cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
How do I end up this way
A constant knot in my gut
Tied with uncertainty and with lust
A classic case I suppose
A haunted man who can't out run his ghosts
They're in my skin and my bones
So stay the night
I promise that I won't bite
'Cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
And now I sing...
That if I tried hard enough
I would spontaneously combust
I wish I could disappear
and run away from all of my fears
I think I'm coming undone
So stay the night
I promise that I won't bite
'Cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
How do I end up this way
A constant knot in my gut
Tied with uncertainty and with lust
A classic case I suppose
A haunted man who can't out run his ghosts
They're in my skin and my bones
So stay the night
I promise that I won't bite
'Cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
And now I sing...
Against The Grain lyrics - City and Colour
You need not to climb mountaintops,
You need not to cross the sea,
You need not to find a cure for everything that makes you weak.
You need not to reach for the stars when life becomes so dark,
And when the wind does blow against the grain,
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
When all your friends have come and gone,
And the sun no longer shines,
And the happiness for which you long is washed away like an ocean's tide,
When all the hard times outweigh the good,
And all your words are misunderstood,
When the day seems lost from the start
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
If you feel you've paid the price,
And your wounds should cease to heal
And everything you love in life spins like a winding wheel.
If you should wake to find you're abandoned,
And the road you've traveled leads to a dead-end
When death creeps in to play it's part,
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
You need not to cross the sea,
You need not to find a cure for everything that makes you weak.
You need not to reach for the stars when life becomes so dark,
And when the wind does blow against the grain,
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
When all your friends have come and gone,
And the sun no longer shines,
And the happiness for which you long is washed away like an ocean's tide,
When all the hard times outweigh the good,
And all your words are misunderstood,
When the day seems lost from the start
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
If you feel you've paid the price,
And your wounds should cease to heal
And everything you love in life spins like a winding wheel.
If you should wake to find you're abandoned,
And the road you've traveled leads to a dead-end
When death creeps in to play it's part,
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
The Girl lyrics - City and Colour
I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world ('round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl.
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you

You sacrifice so much of your life

Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl.
Sensible Heart lyrics - City and Colour
I get so distracted
By some peoples reactions
That I don't see my own faults
For what they are
For what they are
At times so self destructive
With no intent or motive
But behind this emotion,
There lies a sensible heart
A sensible heart
See I'm no king
I wear no crown
But desperate times
Seem over now
But still I weaken somehow
It tears me apart
It tears me apart
I hope to learn as time goes by
That I should trust what's deep inside
Burning bright, oh burning bright
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
By some peoples reactions
That I don't see my own faults
For what they are
For what they are
At times so self destructive
With no intent or motive
But behind this emotion,
There lies a sensible heart
A sensible heart
See I'm no king
I wear no crown
But desperate times
Seem over now
But still I weaken somehow
It tears me apart
It tears me apart
I hope to learn as time goes by
That I should trust what's deep inside
Burning bright, oh burning bright
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
