Under rich, relentless skies I've been setting highs I felt you walk right through me You're the thing that I invoke My all persistent goal Sent to make me queasy And oh, it's hard now With time, it works out To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up All the tigers have been out I don't care, I hear them howl I let them tear right through me Can you help me not to care? Every breath becomes a prayer Take this pain from me And oh you're so far now So far from my arms now To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human To be human To be human Just 'cause I predicted this Doesn't make it any easier to live with And what's the point of knowin' it If you can't change it? You can't change, can't change it Just 'cause I predicted this Doesn't make it any easier to live with And what's the point of knowin' it If you can't change it? You can't change, can't change it To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human is to love Even when it gets too much There's no reason to give up Don't give up, no, oh! Don't give up

(What a great time to be human) There once was a boy who lost his own mother Loved him to death and smothered his brother The kids in the street all shouted with joy New shoes on their feet, they danced to destroy The boy became man, then ran to his lover She cast a spell to bring back his mother They went to the preacher and he banged a gong The crooks and believers all sing the same song Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) There once was a girl who drank from the fountain She left her youth halfway up the mountain She went back to get it, but someone was there They had her committed and shaved off her hair They threw her a party with diamonds and spoons But they were bloodsuckers with crocodile shoes She went to the chemist to make her a dog But he was dyslexic, so he made a God (God, God, God) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) (Shanghai, summertime, goodbye) (What a great time to be human) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human, to be human, to be human What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human What a great time to be human

I found a book on how to be invisible Take a pinch of keyhole And fold yourself up You cut along a dotted line You think inside out And you're invisible Eye of Braille Hem of anorak Stem of wallflower Hair of doormat I found a book on how to be invisible On the edge of the labyrinth Under a veil you must never lift Pages that you must never turn In the labyrinth You stand in front of a million doors And each one holds a million more Corridors that lead to the world Of the invisible Corridors that twist and turn Corridors that blister and burn Eye of Braille Hem of anorak Stem of wallflower Hair of doormat Is that the wind from the desert song? Is that the autumn leaf falling? Or is that you walking home? Is that the wind from the desert song? Is that the autumn leaf falling? Or is that you walking home? Is that a storm in the swimming pool? You take a pinch of keyhole And fold yourself up You cut along a dotted line You think inside out You jump 'round three times You jump into the mirror And you're invisible

You're still in the shower Don't know where you're gonna go I wish I had the power To make this house feel more like home I won't sleep a minute Leave the light on by the bed The bed you should be in, yeah It's not how it's supposed to end Please don't leave me here I don't know where I started Please don't leave me here I don't know where my heart is I see you when I see you It hurts, you'll never know 'Cause maybe you'll come running When you're done being alone I swear I'll wait forever If it means not letting go I'll put you under pressure Were you scared of getting close? Please don't leave me here I don't know where I started Please don't leave me here I don't know where my heart is All these bridges that we're burning Tables that we're turning I won't let this go to a middle ground Promises you're breaking Parts of me you're taking I don't know myself when you're not around Please don't leave me here I don't know where I started Please don't leave me here I don't know where my heart is

I'm a mess, i've been a mess for months I know it's real I've been doing anything i can to numb how it feels And i know that putting all this liquor in my body Won't exonerate me from the guilt that haunts me No, there's nothing in the world that's gonna stop me Still i wait for you And i know It's late and i wanna go home But I'm scared of how quiet it'll be without you I hate taking off my own clothes Getting in my own bed Spinning thoughts about you It's late and i'm waiting behind For the drugs to kick in And erase my body I hate how it's all in my head Smoking your cigarettes Thinking you could still want me I'm a mess, i've been a mess for months I know it's true I look for validation from anybody that's not you, yeah And i know that putting all this liquor in my body Won't exonerate me from the guilt that haunts me No, there's nothing in the world that's gonna stop me Still i wait for you And i know It's late and i wanna go home But I'm scared of how quiet it'll be without you I hate taking off my own clothes Getting in my own bed Spinning thoughts about you It's late and i'm waiting behind For the drugs to kick in And erase my body I hate how it's all in my head Smoking your cigarettes Thinking you could still want me It's late and I'm waiting behind For the drugs to kick in And erase my body I hate how it's all in my head And i know i'm a mess Thinking you could still want me

I've been trying not to think about it, I can't help it I know you don't wanna hear from me, but I am selfish It kills me inside, you can drink on Friday nights Not even pick up the phone It amazes me you move on so easily From someone that you once called home I wish you had enough discipline for the both of us Just because I don't know how to turn off the way I feel I know you always fell out love so damn easily But honestly, I don't think you ever had something real Until you met me, drinks in New York City Ooh, you looked so pretty Think I fell in love before I even knew your birthday Kissed you on our first date Somehow, I knew someday This would hurt 'cause I could never let you go Oh, I'll spend my whole life Missing a part of me, part of me Oh, I'll spend my whole life Hoping your heart is free, heart is free I've been trying not to think of this as something tragic 'Cause our two paths might cross again Crazier things have happened And I realize lightning strikes just once, not twice And shooting stars are burning rocks So I spend weeks inside, drowning in those dreams of mine And wondering if I'm worth your thoughts I wish you had enough discipline for the both of us Just because I don't know how to turn off the way I feel I know you always fell out love so damn easily But honestly, I don't think you ever had something real Until you met me, drinks in New York City Ooh, you looked so pretty Think I fell in love before I even knew your birthday Kissed you on our first date Somehow, I knew someday This would hurt 'cause I could never let you go Do you not dream of me? 'Cause I have visions in my sleep I can't ever find my peace now Do you wake up alone And feel an aching in your bones? Or are you happy without me now? The first time that you told me You thought that you loved me That bar in the city I thought you were drunk But I knew deep down that you meant it Wish that I had said it I was scared to let it happen But it happened, and now I cannot forget it Oh, I'll spend my whole life Missing a part of me, part of me Oh, I'll spend my whole life Hoping your heart is free, heart is free

Red-eyed, 21 You said look at the damage that we've done Tired, unconvinced I said it doesn't have to end like this 'Cause I choose staying up to fight than sleeping here alone I'd choose you a hundred times before letting you go, so Just stay with me Stay anything you want, anything you want Say you miss me Say anything at all, anything at all I'll wait 'til you make your mind 'Cause I understand we get lost sometimes Just stay angry Stay anything you want if you stay here with me Broken and alone You said it's not the way you wanna go Then don't go, don't run I said it doesn't have to hurt this much 'Cause I choose staying up to fight than sleeping here alone I'd choose you a hundred times before letting you go, so Just stay with me Stay anything you want, anything you want Say you miss me Say anything at all, anything at all I'll wait 'til you make your mind 'Cause I understand we get lost sometimes Just stay angry Stay anything you want if you stay here with me Tell me that I'm okay, tell me that I won't break Tell me that I'm all you need Tell me that you're healing, tell me that you feel it Tell me that you still believe Tell me that I'm okay, tell me that I won't break Tell me that I'm all you need Tell me that you're healing, tell me that you feel it Tell me that you still believe Just stay with me Stay anything you want, anything you want Say you miss me Say anything at all, anything at all I'll wait 'til you make your mind 'Cause I understand we get lost sometimes Just stay angry Stay anything you want if you stay here with me

Focus on you in the light, it helps me fill my emotions Why are we at such a distance? Find ourselves so out of frame This love stay calm in the night, Yeah, help me heal and re-open Why are we drifting away from everything we wanted to save? I told you I'd be down forever Loving you is danger, but it don't feel wrong It's old news, I should look for better Falling back to strangers, leave me hanging on Flare guns go off in my head, saying not to call you this late Still I dial those numbers every time Why do I replay those messages that you left at the tone last May? Slowly wishing you were never mine Your face became all I know, I'd try to picture another Why are we frayed at the edge, it's making me feel all to blame I wanna know what's the deal Where have you been and what do you think of me? Is it a new girl silently screaming your name? I told you I'd be down forever Loving you is danger, but it don't feel wrong It's old news, I should look for better Falling back to strangers, leave me hanging on You leave me hanging on Flare guns go off in my head, saying not to call you this late Still I dial those numbers every time Why do I replay those messages that you left at the tone last May? Slowly wishing you were never mine I told you I'd be down forever Loving you is danger, but it don't feel wrong It's old news, I should look for better Falling back to strangers, leave me hanging on See, I don't know better than to give up on loving Why am I still holding on? I'm still holding on And I'm way too honest and you make me want it Lying alone al night long, alone all night along Flare guns go off in my head, saying not to call you this late Still I dial those numbers every time Why do I replay those messages that you left at the tone last May? Slowly wishing you were never mine Flare guns go off in my head, saying not to call you this late Still I dial those numbers every time (Still I dial those numbers every time) Why do I replay those messages that you left at the tone last May? Slowly wishing you were never mine (Slowly wishing you were never mine)
