Cold War Affair
03:01
|
|||
I was born in the last cold war,
and I was taught to stay alone.
Cause the people I met were frightened,
of the thing that I'd become.
You see I met a girl from the far Moscow,
and she had eyes like solid gold.
And she set my heart on fire,
with a smile, a love so cold, a love so cold.
But when we fell in love she lost the arms of a foreign home,
And she said she was okay so I don't know what went wrong.
But she left me in the morning, said she'd missed the winter nights,
And that all this short-term lust would save me a thousand little fights,
About love.
But I would burn my gold for you,
And I would flee this side, just to get back to you.
Cause she, is my cold war affair.
She always was.

October
02:38
|
|||
I know I've changed a lot,
I sold all I'd got.
From fear of being less than you deserve.
Blinds shut real tight,
All these feelings I had to hide,
Cause what's soft is bound to be the first to leave.
(CHORUS)
Won't you go,
When you know how much you mean to me?
I'm a man of many faces, you don't know me.
But all I really wanna say is that I love you very, very, very much.
So my boss can have my frown,
And the circus can take my clown,
But keep my heart so close to you.
And I'm sick of all these masks,
Pretense I disgust,
Cause I just want to wear the one you love.
(CHORUS)
Won't you go,
When you know how much you mean to me?
I'm a man of many faces, you don't know me.
But all I really wanna say is that I love you very, very, very much.
(BRIDGE)
And I know that I'm saying so much more than I should say,
Cause I just can't trust my love when it comes to the next day,
But now I am October, and now I am in love,
There're thirty days left, so please, let's make some love.

Fade
04:09
|
|||
Lay down your guns,
This is the end of fighting and there's,
No one to blame,
For how romance did slowly fade.
And I know what you want,
Cause I want the same as you.
And I know how you feel,
Cause I feel the same as you.
(CHORUS)
All I could say was I need you so much more,
Than I could admit, but I missed you once before,
Don't set the love on fire in my hollow heart,
But please don't let my forget the thing we had right now.
Lay down the past,
Cause it troubles, you can't get no sleep and,
I hope you can,
Forgive me for the man that I am.
(CHORUS)
All I could say was I need you so much more,
Than I could admit, but I missed you once before,
Don't set the love on fire in my hollow heart,
But please don't let my forget the thing we had right now.
And in a few years I'll see you again,
We'll have a talk and laugh about how it was then,
But I can't seem to make up why I think we are,
Just love sick teens with a fucked up heart.
(CHORUS)
All I could say was I need you so much more,
Than I could admit, but I missed you once before,
Don't set the love on fire in my hollow heart,
But please don't let my forget the thing we had right now.
And I held my love with both hands,
As I told her that she did not deserve, this kind of romance.
And while tears, were falling down from her face,
I just prayed, for this moment to fade.

Never Let This Go
02:48
|
|||
A generation without any words,
Not a single one to tell them how this hurts,
Oh how this hurts.
But then told me that there was a plan,
But nothing kind of could prepare us for this scam,
So let it go.
(CHORUS)
I don't know what they did to the future,
But it seems just miles and miles to tight,
I need someone who takes me home tonight.
So start a war, throw a bomb, pick a couple of lies,
Convince us that we're still on the right side,
But I'm not taking part.
'Till they give me one good reason to bleed,
Cause lately I find that's all I really need,
To let it go.
(CHORUS)
I don't know what they did to the future,
But it seems just miles and miles to tight,
I need someone who takes me home tonight.
Freedom gets taken by the ones who defend it,
And we're letting go without a fight,
I need someone who tells me I'm allright.
Before we let go.
Oh love please let me know,
Why I can never let this go,
Oh let it go.
(CHORUS)
I don't know what they did to the future,
But it seems just miles and miles to tight,
I need someone who takes me home tonight.
