pete yorn - alive

Sometimes it's pain, sometimes it's hollow
Never the same, it'll change you tomorrow
The sadness
Doesn't matter when it's gone

Girl in a red dress passes you by
A hurried deception gleam to her eye
Like the weather will not hurt her when she's wrong

You say you feel all broke and discarded
What's on your mind, baby?
You know you'll get along well once you've started, over again
This day is alive
This day is alive
This day is alive

Take another chance if a turn for disaster is the best thing for you
Oh the difference
Is the lies I told are true
Don't tell your father the thoughts
You've been thinking, they'll burn him too long
After all
It's the dream that holds up the sun

You say you want something that's real
Well give it some time, baby
You're all wrapped in the words you're repeating over again
This day is alive
This day is alive
This day is alive

So now you tell me what you're gonna do to me!
You got a lot on your mind, baby
You got so much that will get through to me
Without telling me lies..

You say you wanna stand up for something alright
What's on your mind, baby
Oh you could stand here for nothing
Or start it again, start it again

This day is alive
This moment will pass you.. by
This day is ours, don't let it die
Don't let it die.

pete yorn - turn off the century

Saw my reflection, covered in glass
How it reminds me of you
Broken like a vision, an unfinished season
Terror had struck me, but all I could see is your soft skin
And I wondered
Inside the workhouse, you mind your own business
And I had the courage of two
And as I requested a lapse in your presence
I couldn't think of anything important to say
So I wondered
When this day will end
Yeah, I wondered if we'd speak again.

pete yorn - a girl like you

Someday
I'll look into her green eyes
And know that she'll come with me
A girl like you

Too many
Things I do not care for
But one thing that I adore
Is a girl like you

I'll always try
To look you in the eye
It's okay
With a girl like you

Tomorrow
I think I'll tell you something
The thing that I haven't said
To a girl like you

And even if
I don't know what the day will bring
Still I can tell most anything
To a girl like you

I'll always try
To look you in the eye
It's okay
With a girl like you
It's okay
With a girl like you

pete yorn - all at once

Every now and then I get like this
And it isn't hard to see
But the old man in the kitchen
I think he's part of me
Don't say nothing bout the old house
Cos I burned it to the ground
And when the darkness comes, I lie awake
Playing lost and found
All at once
I break my silence
All at once
There's no more hiding
And all he wants
Is to show us how he feels
They're all liars in the back room
Watch them all go down
They can tell you what you want to hear
But they will never stick around
So don't say nothing bout the old house
Cos I burned it to the ground
And when the darkness comes I'll lie and wait
Still playing lost and found
All at once
I break my silence
All at once
There's no more hiding
And all he wants is to show us how he feels
When he comes around
Do not tell him nothing
Do not make a sound
Cos if he knows we're there
He might tear his heart out
And beat us to death with it

pete yorn - bandstand in the sky

Come with me to a place that we don't know
Come with me, I just wanna say hello
If you need some inspiration before we go
Just know
It's the way I have fallen in with you
It's the way I have fallen in with you

So come with me to a river I have seen
On the way we can wash off in the stream
Time is waiting for the lightning to arrive
You can take my life but I'll never die
You can tell that's the way I'll survive

So here we are now
A couple of fools
Driving around here with nothing to do

We just made a bad decision
That's alright
You can take my life but I'll never die
You can tell that's the way I'll survive
Heading for the bandstand in the sky

pete yorn - black

Black is a cast,
And two is a crowd,
And gold rim is an answer.
Black is a crowd.

I am just for you,
As you are not for me
So even if you stop,
Youââ?¬â?¢re sitting here by yourself,
You can never try to answer anymore,
You can never start
And see what youââ?¬â?¢re doing to me.

Kiss, they were the ones,
They dressed like something so special,
And death is to begin,
caress, I think itââ?¬â?¢s a sinââ?¬¦

I was alone,
Only ââ?¬Ë?til you took me away,

And you can never stop,
Youââ?¬â?¢re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
You will never stop and see,
What youââ?¬â?¢re doing to me.

Iââ?¬â?¢m alone,
While he was standing next to you,
And days prolong,
Yeah there was time,
just you wait and see,

Waiting for a bottle of truth,
Iââ?¬â?¢m just a lonely guy in my youth,
Waiting for you is all I wanna do,

So if you couldnââ?¬â?¢t stop,
Youââ?¬â?¢re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
you will never stop and see what youââ?¬â?¢re doing to me,

You can never stop,
Youââ?¬â?¢re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to answer anything,
You will never stop and see,
What youââ?¬â?¢re doing to me,

What youââ?¬â?¢re doing to me,
What youââ?¬â?¢re doing to me,

pete yorn - broken bottle

Sandy, I don't recognize you
So much has changed in your face
I dream at night you managed to take me home
And you could not get over my place
And you say, "Hey, what you doin' here?
I think that you would rather be there...
And your love is like a broken bottle."
Oh, Jesse, what you done with yourself?
I don't think you have to recognize me
But we was walking alone
And we had fun, fun, fun
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
Gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside just walks me home
Oh, Sally, I've seen you before
You managed to take me home
What were you doing?
What was it about?
I guess it was the thought that counts
And lovers bruise each other
And there's a courage in what you ask
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
I'm gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside just walks me home
Yeah
And lovers bruise each other
No, I don't wanna be like that
And there's a courage in what you ask
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
Gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside you just walks me home
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
Gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside just walks me home
Something inside just walks me home

pete yorn - burrito

It's at 7-11
Do you wanna take a walk outside
If you want a burrito
You can have another bite of mine
It could last you forever
If you're waiting for the call
Come on over tonight
Come on over this morning
Momma says, "you only fall in love once"
And you could leave here tomorrow
You know you wanted to have more
They were looking for answers
And if you never had them score
Yeah, it could last you forever
Just sit here in the store
Come on over tonight
Come on over this morning
Momma says, "you only fall in love once"
And you think you know that they'll always be there
You never had the time
I want you to be fine
It's at 7-11
Do you wanna take a walk outside
If you want a burrito
You can have another bite of mine
It could last you forever
If you're still waiting on that call
Come on over tonight
Come on over this morning
Momma says, "you only fall in love once"

pete yorn - can t hear anyone

Can't hear anyone
Fade away yeah, can't hear anyone
Fade away yeah, can't hear anyone
Fade away yeah, can't hear anyone

I was high when I met you
Was low before and frail
Now it's in the concrete
Carved on my head

I was leaving from the city
Need to start again
Was happy when I knew you
Take away the change

I know you wanted to more than I offered to
It's no coincidence tonight is your severance
And I, I was in the light
Oh

I was high then

Want to see you in a few weeks
See if we could fit
Nothing's even broken
Call it up to them

I know you wanted to more than I offered to
It's no coincidence tonight is your severance
And I, I was in the light
Oh I, I was in the light yeah

pete yorn - carlos

Into the room
Keep it burning through
Hear what they said?
Don't talk about thisââ?¬¦
If you know how to sing it alone.
Carlos works in a place that no one has gone
It's howlin' out tonight
And he's feeling' alright
On the street
I was talking to you
And you found something better to do
What's the upside of this place?
And when you're with yourself, oh don't let it go to your head
Don't talk
Don't move
They'll leave
You soon
If you're fine, you can wait
Don't mention that you're sick of this place
Say you're not sold, you're sick of it all
Just as long as it takes
What's the upside of this place?
And when you're with yourself, oh don't let it go to your head

pete yorn - close

Oh Billie I want you so,
I'm trying to meet you.
Too many things they donââ?¬â?¢t know,

pete yorn - come back home

Come back home for another year
And find yourself in the thick of it
Come back home for another year
I always thought that you could handle this

And you know you're hard enough
And you find you're strong enough
And you feel you're strong enough

Come back home for another year
And ask yourself if you could handle this
Say my name before you disappear
I always thought that you could handle this

And you know you're hard enough
And you find you're strong enough
And you feel you're strong enough

In your life, you can talk about it
Oh in your life, you can live without
Can live without

And you know you're hard enough

It's alright
I won't commit my friend
And if you pay for your mistakes
You can break apology

When you come back from your escape
I don't need apology

You're always up to no one's business
Always up toââ?¬¦
Only witness

pete yorn - crystal village

Take my hand
Come with me
Into this crystal scenery
And wait, til I retain the ticket
You would never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning

Over here, see the lights
Arranging twilight sages
Commence to reveal it to the others
You would never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning
You were there
We were good in the beginning

Yeah, take my hand and come with me
Into this crystal village
And see the lights so fried in brightness
Cos you will never have the time
I would love to change your mind
You were there
And it was good in the beginning

Take my hand, come with me
I see the lights so brightly
And we fall as if we never really mattered
Cos you will never have the time
I would love to change your mind
It was there
And it was good in the beginning
We were there
