whitley - a shot to the stars

When we came up, shot to the stars,
It was painless, we couldn't run far,
And in a heart-attack, we clutched at our chests,
And in a truck, we searched for the crests.

I wanna feel the rain pouring down, (down)
I wanna feel the cold raising hair, (feel)
I wanna feel the rain pouring down, (down)
I wanna feel the cold raising hair, (feel)

You're my lifeline, under a rest,
And you can see it all on my chest,
and in a lifetime of beauty and tests,
in the trucks, we search for the crests.

I wanna feel the rain pouring down, (down)
I wanna feel the cold raising hair, (feel)
I wanna feel the rain pouring down, (down)
I wanna feel the cold raising hair, (feel)
I wanna feel the rain pouring down, (down)
I wanna feel the cold raising hair, (feel)

whitley - all is whole

On the floor, the way you fall,
the cornerstone shop in your heart,
Forgotten dreams or so it seems,
Your memories are fading.

You can't keep calling,
You can't keep from falling,
And you can't save your soul,
If you can't believe.

All is whole in the end,
You carried on,
And wounds will mend,
To save your soul,
To save yourself,

All is whole in the end.

And no one ever hears your screams,
And water pouring through the seams,
You walk along and feel night time's cracks,
Your memories are fading.

You can't keep calling,
You can't keep from falling,
And you can't save your soul,
If you can't believe.

And all is whole in the end,
You carried on,
Your wounds will mend,
To save your soul,
To save yourself,

whitley - bright white lights

I was walking down a dark black road
I was chasing a bright white light
I'm sinking in a deep blue ocean
I'm flying in a clear blue sky

I'm screaming at a large deaf monster
As I'm falling from the fifteenth floor

I will make it through this
I will make it through this
I will make it through this
I will make it through this

We're dreaming of a bright white christmas
We're sailing towards a big black storm
I'm crying like a newborn baby
'cause you're falling like an injured dove

I'm walking down a dark black road
I'm chasing a bright white light

I will make it through this(5x)

whitley - cheap clothes

The darkness is creeping in,
And the world is a place to hide,
I'm on my knees in the cool winter breeze,
and I think of you.

And I have tried and I have won,
and I have done so many things,
We'll sit and smile and stand for a while,
And I have done so many things.

The soil breaks your fall,
As you come crashing down like you've done a thousand times before,
Your smell's still rich on my nose,
As you tore back my cheap clothes.

And I have tried and I have won,
and I have lost so many things,
And we sit and smile and stand for a while,
And I have lost so many things.

And I still hear your voice, In my house, in my room,
You're calling, you're ten feet falling down,
Soil will break your fall like it's done a thousand times before,
And I still think of you when the night gets cold,

When it's cold

whitley - head first down

We are here
It seems we always must've seen
A dark black fear
And nothing ever seems so clear
The sun will not be here and I know my life has an end
The sun will not be here and questions remain in my head

So I fall
Head, first, down

You heard my voice
You heard me howling in the wind
I saw your soul
I knew you'd never let me go
You're someone who'll be there and
Never let go of my hand
I'm someone who'll be there and
Protect you from oncoming winds

When you fall
Head, first down

This is real
And wonder, it's all around
You hit the ground
And know there, truth is always found
Reject superstition and listen to silences sound
Reject their false prophets and know that
There's something around

And they'll fall
Head, first, down
Because we all fall
Head, first, down

=)

whitley - i remember

I remember when I saw you,
You were dancing, you were dancing,
I followed you to the next bar,
It was a long drive, it was a long drive,
I did not mind I was taken by you,
I felt something, I felt something,
You did not mind you were taken by me,
We felt something, We felt Something.

Lately I've been feeling like this could last forever,
This could last forever.

I remember The black sky streaking
It was so cold, it was so cold,
You held my hand, and said you loved me,
I felt something, I felt something,
I remember six years,
It was a long time, it was a long time,
I did not mind I was taken by you,
I felt something, I felt something.

Lately I've been feeling like this could last forever,
This could last forever.

whitley - lost in time

We're coming up we're building speed,
We walk along through endless greed,
We walk along through endless night,
And suddenly it's all about to change,

And all I could have been,
And all I would have been,
Was lost in time,

And all I could have been,
And all I would have been,
Was lost in time.

You touch the sky we hold our hearts,
The kiss of death, we keep our wits,
and suddenly it's all about to change,

And all I could have been,
And all I would have been,
Was lost in time,

And all I could have been,
And all I would have been,
Was lost in time.

whitley - more than life

Belief in the breeze,
The smoky morning haze.
The sun on her face,
and the touch of lovers' hands.
The pain that comes today,
Is here, then goes away.

And we are homeward bound,
And I,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life.

To touch something real,
Will help your wounds heal,
Like the sun on your face,
The dreams of starry nights.

And we are homeward bound,
And I,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life...

I want this more than life.

whitley - poison in our pockets

We have poison in our pocket
We have hatred in our heart
And as the bombs fly overhead
We dance 'til we see red

And we're becoming shadows
And we're becoming silhouettes

We have a knife in our back
We have a friend in black
And as the words fly overhead
We smile

And we're becoming shadows
And we're becoming silhouettes(2x)

I have a secret in the dark
I have you on my mind
We have poison in our pockets
But we have love in our hearts

And we're becoming shadows
And we're becoming silhouettes
And we're becoming shadows
We're becoming silhouettes

We're becoming shadows
We're becoming silhouettes
We're becoming shadows
We're becoming silhouettes
We're becoming silhouettes

whitley - the life i keep

On the day, you take the life i keep
Take me in my sleep, while i'm counting sheep
In the deepest dreams of butterflies
with visions of my day

On that day, don't let my lover weep
Take her in her sleep, while she's counting sheep
in the deepest dreams she closes her eyes

I still haven't found what i'm looking for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for
I still haven't found what i'm looking for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for

On that day, let my friends come
And remember what i've done
Both righteous and wrong
Both heinous and beautiful, yeah they so match your ways

On that day, don't let my lover weep
Take her in her sleep, while she's counting sheep
in the deepest dreams she closes her eyes

I still haven't found what i'm lookin' for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for
I still haven't found what i'm lookin' for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for

whitley - the submarine

Eye of the storm,
I have the form,
Willing to keep me.
I'm safe and warm,
Away from this war,
But bleeding is easy.

And when I find my way,
I'll take you home.

And when we see lightyears,
I'll take you home.

You're dying to breathe,
I watch your chest heave,
Breathing is easy.
All is not lost,
I am not lost,
Needle is easy.

And when I find my way,
I'll take you home.

And when we see lightyears,
I'll take you home.

The ghost hangs in you, love.
Where fathers make, mothers fall,
Will you call to above,
and prove you're not the man your father was?

whitley - white feathers strange sights

A feather fell on the ground in front of me,
The evening sun, it crept on in,
Blue turned to black and the stars shone endlessly;
All of love isn't free.

Holding my hand like a script in a picture,
and holding my wrist like you're choking death,
The look in your eye speaks like ages of life;
All of love isn't free.

I couldn't see why you ran from me,
I keep running it back, I keep playing it back,
In a moment I see how it came to be...

There are stranger ways to fall from grace,
And harder ways to see your face,
If I will not be what fear makes me;
Love will set me free.

(A white feather fell)

whitley - my heart is not a machine

My heart is not a machine
It beats for you and all the others that I love
My heart is not anything
That you haven't seen before
It sings hold me now
Did I think I was a king somehow?
Alone is a song
Where the lonely belong
My heart is not a machine
It beats alone in all the darkness of the night
My heart is all I have
And I pledge it all to you
It sings hold me now
Did I think I was a king somehow?
Alone is the song
Where the lonely belong
It sings louder than before
Everything that's set in stone
It sings louder than the fire
I poured down my neck just to kill desire
Just to kill desire
My heart is not a machine
It beats in time with all the others that I love
