Howie Day lyrics
Album: Stop All the World Now [2003]
| Brace Yourself | |
|
So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I will hold every part of you if I could
And I'm oh...
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
And all that you have
And oh, I'm in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...
So you feel everything and everything should be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I'm in no condition to be
Alone
And I'm oh...
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
And all that you have
And oh, I'm in love again
Brace yourself
Yeah...
On and on
So it's just your false alarm
Maybe I'll hold my breathe
And you'll be gone
All that you have... yeah...
All that you wanted...
Love
I'm in love again
Brace yourself with all that you have
Oh I'm in love again
Brace yourself... yeah...
Brace yourself... yeah...
Brace yourself with all that you have
Yeah...
All that you wanted... oh...

| Perfect Time of Day | |
|
[Verse 1:]
It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day
[Chorus:]
And you wont feel a thing
And you wont recall anything at all
[Verse 2:]
Close your eyes and take your last breath
Press your head aside, the end is the beginning
Everyone between is so lost, so lost.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Let your colors collide
The time is so right
I keep running behind
But I know your meaning
You love to fall
(...)
The perfect time of day
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
Wooooo it's the perfect time of day
Come on now
It's the perfect time of day
it's the perfect time with you
|
| Collide | |
|
The dawn is breaking...
A light shining through...
You're barely waking...
And I'm tangled up in you. (yeah)
do do do x4
I'm open, you're closed.
Where I'll follow you'll go.
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again.
Even the best fall down sometimes.
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme.
Out of the doubt that fills my mind,
I somehow find, you and I collide.
do do do x4
I'm quiet, you know,
You make a first impression.
I've found I’m scared to know,
I'm always on your mind.
Even the best fall down sometimes.
Even the stars refuse to shine.
Out of the back you fall in time
Somehow find you and I collide...
Don't stop here...
I lost my place...
I'm close behind...
do do do x8
Even the best fall down sometimes.
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme.
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide.
do do do do do do
You finally find, you and I collide.
do do do do do do
You finally find, you and I collide.
do do do x8

| Trouble in Here | |
|
All that you wanted to say
I'll never come here again
All that I wanted to
say
All gone
Springtime is always in hand
Almost as if you were
there
Making a hole under me again
Hold on
Cause I couldn't make
up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
Thing
that I fear
Take all the love outta me
So I'd never see it
again
Lost, where are we
On our plane
Ah, yes
Cause I couldn't
make up
A thing that you say, love
There's trouble in here
Hold
on
Thing that I fear
Cause I couldn't make up
A thing that you say,
love
There's trouble in here
Hold on
A thing that I share
Hold
on
There's trouble in here
Thing that I fear, yeah

| Sunday Morning Song | |
|
It's not that bad
We could have died
Chalk it up to being young
Can you prove it was me?
No morning drive
No blurred headlight
from the corner of my eye
If only you were here right now,
you'd tell me...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't it be more than livin' in your wake
If you and I would ever cease to be
Yeah...
Your summer dress
??
and how they caught us on the stairs
That silent song you'd sing to me
keeps singing...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't I be more than livin' in your wake
if you and I would ever cease to be
No, my love
Hold on
We bend, I break
You fall, we scrape
I blame it all on being older now
I'm still singing...
Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything changed
Wouldn't I be somethin' in your way
Wouldn't I be more than livin' in your wake
if you and I would ever....yeah
if you and I would ever cease to be
Yeah....

| I'll Take You On | |
|
Make me fall down
Make me get up
And if I'm alright
Make sure I'm scared to death
Maybe I'm useless
Just couldn't remember
Maybe I'm nervous
And I'll make you surrender
I'll take you on
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't feel much better
Said it yourself
Said I'm not ready
And telling myself
But it's not sinking in
Maybe I'm new at this
It is just your reaction?
Be my illusion and I'll be your distraction
I'll take you on
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't feel much better
Would I be hurt?
It wouldn't hurt
See you again
You see what I meant
I told you before
That I never wanted to feel like this again
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't feel much better

| She Says | |
|
Sweet is the sight
Of her room
Window opened by candlelight
Cold winter on the shore
Chills the dress she wore
It's on the floor
Still it feels so warm tonight
And that's why I'm wondering why
You had to tell me
What's going on in your head
What's wrong
Come around to another time when you
Won't have to run
And when she says she wants somebody else
I hope you know that's she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and makes a sound
You'll never hear her the way that I do
And when she says she wants someone to love
I hope you know that she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and lets you down
I hope you know that she doesn't mean you
Swing her into flight
Over her hills at twilight
I guess that's right now
While we're here
Tell me why it's so funny
That you're so funny
When you're mad
You're always so mad
[Chorus]

| Numbness for Sound | |
|
Cold in the Sun
My feet on the ground
A pale windless city
A numbness for sound
I'll wait, back here
or will you notice
A moment in time
A photograph lost here
Since you were mine
I'll wait back here
or should I start pushing my way back
Yeah...
Should I start pushing my way back
I walk past your room
A deep silhouette
You're tired of racing
I dont understand
I'll wait, back here
Cold and beneath me
A soaked cigarette
I'm asleep on a shoulder that I've never met
I'll wait back here
Or should I, start pushing my way back
Yeah...
Should I start pushing my way
home
And I'm with all these women
And I'm on the edge of my breath
Ohh...
And I'm thinking of leaving
I could just lay down
Lay down and freeze to death.
Yeah.....Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Ohhh....
Cold in the Sun
My feet on the ground
A pale windless city
A numbness for sound

| You & a Promise | |
|
She was nervous
She was late
She left it up to fate
Standing at a phone oh
And she knows just what she wants
And she came here to take it
How perfect it could be
You and me
And she met him
At the door
I don't want you anymore
Remember what you said
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
He turned and he didn't wait
He walked right through the gate
So glad to be alone
And he knows who to call
I'll always be there for you
Call me anytime
I don't mean to offend
A voice on the other end
Is a stranger to me
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
And they say to themselves
And they say to themselves
How can I ever let this happen
You and a promise
You and a promise
|
| End of Our Days | |
|
Here, where they can't find us
I dare them to call me out
Or tell
you
We met here on purpose
I bet they can't wait to wake us up
It's
all a little bit strange
I know it's a little bit strange
make a point
and ignore them
come on let's wait this out
they'll find out
we never
stop turning
and sometimes it's tough
to change direction
I know
it's a little bit strange
It's all a little bit strange
At the end of
a day
I'm gonna say what I mean
It's slipping all away, away
At the end
of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
I know it's a little bit
strange
It's all a little bit strange
At the end of a day
Well I'm
gonna say what I mean
Well I'm
At the end of a day
Well I'm gonna say
what I mean
Slipping all away
It's slipping all away
It's slipping
all away, now
At the end of our days
We'll escape
We'll escape
Oh,
there's no escape
We'll escape

| Come Lay Down | |
|
Come lay down at the edge
Come lay down at the broken edge
Come lay down
at the feet of angels
Eyeing you in a northern sky
Come lay down at
the end
Come lay down where the times suspended
Come lay down and hear the
voices
Calling you from a northern sky
Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me and forget you're high
It's alright in
all
Your eyes are open and singing
Your eyes are open
And not quite
breathing
Your eyes are open
You're seeing things
That I can't see as
hard as I try
Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come
with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,
Don't look
down
Keep your eyes off the ground
So afraid
These days will
fall
Like tears down your face
Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And
alright,
Follow me don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget
you're high
It's alright,alright
