Living In Lightning lyrics - City and Colour
I'd rather walk alone
Than stand in a row
I'd line up everything I own
Decide what should stay and should go
This life was mine to choose
Yearning to wander through and through
At times I've been battered and bruised
But I'm still breathing in my youth
Can't you see I'm sorry that I
Wasn't better at being
Who you wanted me to be
I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity
You wear these brooding ghosts
Tighter and tighter round your throat
They're weighing you down like a stone
They might never let you go
Can't you see I'm sorry that I
Wasn't better at being
Who you wanted me to be
I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity
I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity
Astronaut lyrics - City and Colour
Give me one more year
Then I'll be around
From now until then
I'll just write my thoughts down
I'm feeling lucky to be lost
Wondering what's coming next
Scratching and crawling
Whiskey soaked, been stealing time from death
Like an astronaut
Above the curvature of the earth
Just a wanderer
Under the motion of the moon
All wayfaring hearts
They take to the road
There's poison, there's silver
That's home
Have I done well?
Did I give you enough?
Was I walking free?
Or just pressing my luck?
A voice lay at my side
It was calling me away
It's left my body tired
But my heart is wide awake
Like an astronaut
Above the curvature of the earth
Just a wanderer
Under the motion of the moon
All wayfaring hearts
They take to the road
There's poison, there's silver
That's home
Like an astronaut
Above the curvature of the earth
Just a wanderer
Under the motion of the moon
All wayfaring hearts
They take to the road
There's poison, there's silver
That's home
There's poison, there's silver
That's home
Imagination lyrics - City and Colour
A future
Inch by inch
A devotion
So saccharine
It's a million
Miles wide
Magnificent
Like the depths of the sky
My imagination will
Lead me straight down into hell
So I'm gonna keep on living
Until the dancing days are gone
No I will not seek forgiveness
From a world that's grown so cold and vicious
I'm gonna keep on living
Until the dancing days are gone
Long gone
Emotional
Like an avalanche of joy
It melts my nerves
This beautiful noise
Elated
Unknown to despair
Illuminated
Burning in the air
My imagination will
Lead me straight down into hell
So I'm gonna keep on living
Until the dancing days are gone
No I will not seek forgiveness
From a world that's grown so cold and vicious
I'm gonna keep on living
Until the dancing days are gone
Long gone
Difficult Love lyrics - City and Colour
What if I
What if I have nothing left
To heal you with?
I must stay calm
Keep my head
Then start again
Work until the bitter end
Slowly let the light shine in
I'm wide awake and I can see
This mess I have made
Will not fade away
But I wouldn't change it
For the world
No matter how far I go
I will find my way back
Through this difficult love
Days gone by
When we were so young and fearless
We'd pay no mind
To the richness of our time
We were running wild
Diamonds shining in our eyes
Not a hardship in sight
Maybe when I stop dreaming
I'll see
This mess I have made
Will not fade away
But I wouldn't change it
For the world
No matter how far I go
I will find my way back
Through this difficult love
I will find my way
Through this difficult love
Me And The Moonlight lyrics - City and Colour
Not everything you say
Should be heard
Some things should stay
Buried in the dirt
And when there is no target
For your anger
Could it be that you're
The one who is hurt?
So many fucking pointless conversations
About who's right or wrong, you or me
Every mirror it hides a different reflection
We've all got faces that we don't like to see
But I'll take shelter
In the quiet beauty
Of a silent night
When the sun has had
Some time to set
And the worry has left my mind
It's just me and the pale moonlight
Mountain Of Madness lyrics - City and Colour
Ain't no mystery
About the way we feel
But you get so alone at times
When all you're trying to do is heal
What is this great misunderstanding?
Where do we go from here?
The future is in the sky above us
What if we let it just disappear?
On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down to hard ground
Please forgive me for asking
But there must be a better way around
The streets are on fire
The roses are dead and gone
On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down, so long
Ain't no victory
Worth paying such a cost
That once the final bell has rung
You've earned less than what you've lost
So many different people
Different faces and different names
But underneath our blood runs red
That's what makes us all the same
On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down to hard ground
Please forgive me for asking
But there must be a better way around
The streets are on fire
The roses are dead and gone
On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down, so long
So long
So long
Song Of Unrest lyrics - City and Colour
Have I lost my touch?
I want to feel less fear
Where is the stirring of hope
Once I held so near?
This mournful wail
Has worn away so thin
Life is long if you're living it
But dread will blow in like the wind
How can I explain
So that you will understand
How foolish it must be
To opine so openly?
Such a delicate life
So full of tragedy
Why do we continue to treat
Each other so savagely?
Pills don't seem to work
We're lost at the bottom of the sea
Our bones are searching for something else
Tired of the flesh that they see
I never thought that I'd grow up to be
Another face in the crowd
On the wrong side of history
How can I explain
So that you will understand
How foolish it must be
To opine so openly?
Such a delicate life
So full of tragedy
Why do we continue to treat
Each other so savagely?
Strangers lyrics - City and Colour
Don't wake me when this is over
Just let me drift amidst my dreams
I need to regain composure
And right now my heart is still and asleep
I refuse to believe
That we've become so obsolete
Don't wake me when this is over
'Cause I need to find the time lost in between
If we get back (Get back)
To loving each other (Loving each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learning how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back
To learning how to live?
We look to the heavens above
For advice on our lives
Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles
And in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation
Drowning in medication
Lost in the folly of our age
If we get back (Get back)
To loving each other (Loving each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learning how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back
To learning how to live?
We are strangers in this land
We are strangers in this land
The War Years lyrics - City and Colour
And so sudden worlds collide
Left the scent of the sweetness behind us
A vision burned into my mind
The streets they appeared so alive then
Feels like we might suffocate
Under the dirt and the hatred
Can we push it all away?
Or will we remain chained to
The war years
A falcon is circling the sky
Awaking in view of the mountain
The mountain between you and I
Surrounded by rivers of poison
Everything is everywhere
Under the darkness and thunder
Can we push it all away?
Will we be able to escape
The war years
Young Lovers lyrics - City and Colour
Where did we go wrong?
Will there be a future to look back from?
Feels like God is long gone
From the creatures who created him
We could give it all away
This machinery of violence
Still we gather for a feast of praise
To the devouring mouth of war
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache
Between the dark and dawn
Kings are killing people in the streets
Their ghosts are left to walk on
Through the nightmares of these bitter men
Golden towers climb towards the sky
A sparkling palace of sin
And still we act so surprised
That we are so hollow
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache
Standing on your own
While you struggle to survive
Left you standing all alone
While you struggle to survive
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Lay Me Down lyrics - City and Colour
We are lost
Shaped by the rivers
The sky it burns
Hellfire red
These maddening, no-telling winds
They echo soft
Quietly whispering
Come lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've been hurt enough
How time runs on and on and
Lay me down
I've had enough
Distracting from
More meaningful things
The sooner done
The sooner I'll be free
Beyond the cries of seers and fools
A paradise, built on forgotten truths
So lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've been hurt enough
How time runs on and on and
Lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've had enough
Lay me down
I've been hurt enough
Hop A Plane lyrics - City and Colour
(originally by Tegan and Sara)
I took the train back
Back to where I came from
I took it all alone, it's been so long, I know
Imagine me there, my heart asleep with no air
Begging, "Ocean please, help me drown these memories"
All I need to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
I'm moving east then somewhere far away from
the sight of my hands, the sight of me not moving
You can't just hop a plane and come and visit me again
I claim it's in my head and I regret offering
All I need to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
All I want to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
You take a second, take a year
You took me out and took me in
And told me all of this
You take a moment, take a year
You help me out, I listen in
You told me all of this and then
All I want to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
All I want to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
All I need to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
All I want to hear is that you're not mine, you're not mine
Murderer lyrics - City and Colour
(originally by Low)
One more thing before I go
One more thing I'll ask you, Lord
You might need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
Don't act so innocent
I've seen you pound your fists into the earth
And I've read your books
Seems that you could use another fool
Well, I'm cruel
And I look right through
You must have more important things to do
You might need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
You might need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
You might need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
Peaceful Road lyrics - City and Colour
Sometimes we need
To be completely removed
To comprehend what we truly can miss
That being said
I can't begin to pretend
My heart does not pine for you
May there be a peaceful road ahead of you tonight
May there be still waters
Here my ship lies to take you where you can rest your head
I will not watch you die
You still live and breathe
More than any man I know
On mountains high through valleys low
It's hard to believe
You once were holding death so close
Now full of life, enriched with hope
Hope
May there be a peaceful road ahead of you tonight
May there be still waters
Here my ship lies to take you where you can rest your head
I will not watch you die
May there be a peaceful road ahead of you tonight
May there be still waters
Here my ship lies to take you where you can rest your head
I will not watch you die
Rain lyrics - City and Colour
I'm giving up on all the sadness
I'm giving up on all the dark
Wanna walk away from all the madness
That keeps on pulsing through my heart
I can smell the rain
Come down and wash away
I can smell the rain
I know now I will be safe
There ain't no light left from the fire
There ain't no distant lion's roar
I can't stand to get much higher
Though I am face down on the floor
I can smell the rain
Come down and wash away
I can smell the rain
I know now I will be safe
My old ears hear no evil
See no love with vacant eyes
Can't find the kindness in common people
So I think I'll leave this place behind
I can smell the rain
Come down and wash away
I can smell the rain
I know now I will be safe
I can smell the rain
I know now I will be safe
I can smell the rain
I know now I will be safe
Sunflower lyrics - City and Colour
(originally by Low)
When they found your body
Giant Xs on your eyes
With your half of the ransom
You bought some sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet sunflowers
And gave them
To the night
Underneath the Star of David
A hundred years behind my eyes
With my half of the ransom
I bought some sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet sunflowers
And gave them
To the night
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers
And gave them
To the night
