so long ago when the earth would shake and the pressure made all the diamonds now in the ground i wanted more than the life i knew i was tired of you i was sick of waiting around but now i’m left clinging to what i had known hoping that i won’t forget praying that angels will guide my way home and i would see you again so far away in the city of daydreams timeless escape from the cold winter days begone oh, summer protect me from the fall i am nothing at all but i want to survive so long ago in a time of stress you made me confess that i want someone to love all those lonely nights that the winter made i wish you had stayed so i sing to heaven above desperately clinging to what i had known hoping that i won’t forget praying that angels were guiding me home and i would see you again so far away in the city of daydreams timeless escape from the cold winter days begone the endless lonely summers dreaming of something other i never thought I'd yearn for those empty days long gone oh, summer protect me from the fall i am nothing at all but i want to survive i want to survive i want to survive

so angry at myself that i let a good thing pass me by oh when we said farewell i could feel the sun fall from the sky one one thousand two one thousand i still count the nights without you i just want to hold you in my arms i never should have let you slip through i just want to get this message to you i need your love wherever you are please sleep tight everyday the sun chases the moon everyday i wish i chased you wherever you are i think of you on these lonely nights i’ll sing a thousand and one perpetual love songs while a thousand and one stars fall from the sky i’ll watch a thousand and one nights turn into birdsong i’ll wish a thousand and one times that you were mine so selfish and so cruel i wish i never treated you this way oh i was such a fool now it seems my night will never turn to day one one thousand two one thousand i still count the nights without you i just want to hold you in my arms i never should have let you slip through i just want to get this message to you i need your love wherever you are please sleep tight everyday the sun chases the moon everyday i wish i chased you wherever you are i think of you on these lonely nights i’ll sing a thousand and one perpetual love songs while a thousand and one stars fall from the sky i’ll watch a thousand and one nights turn into birdsong i’ll wish a thousand and one times that you were mine you’ve got stories in my stories before i have morning glories i have to survive the sleepless nights i remember when i saw you that night i remember when i saw you that night i can tell you when i saw you that night i can tell you when i saw you that night i remember when i saw you that night i remember when i saw you that night i remember what i did that night i remember what i did that night i sang a thousand and one perpetual love songs while a thousand and one stars fell from the sky i watched a thousand and one nights turn into birdsong i wished a thousand and one times that you were mine

i don’t need an answer i could never control everything you keep inside buried like a treasure i could never measure everything you keep inside the music of the planets up in the sky tells me that you’re hiding love in your eyes what is it that you’ve got to disguise? looking back it’s kind of amazing that you’re mine i can’t explain it you’re the greatest story ever told but you keep it like a secret code your thoughts are so amazing but your silence is so frustrating you’re the greatest story ever told but you keep it like a secret code you can turn the metal into gold the ritual i wish you would do it i’d put myself i’d put myself through it dark like a shadow sharp like an arrow everything you keep inside teaching of the ages turning all the pages everything you keep inside the music of the planets up in the sky tells me that you’re hiding love in your eyes why is it that i’m always surprised? looking back it’s kind of amazing that you’re mine i can’t explain it you’re the greatest story ever told but you keep it like a secret code your thoughts are so amazing but your silence is so frustrating you’re the greatest story ever told but you keep it like a secret code you can turn the metal into gold the ritual i wish you would do it i’d put myself i’d put myself through it the ritual i wish you would do it i’d put my sweat and put my blood into it and oh everything that i feel is tumbling out but oh i never know what you are thinking about looking back it’s kind of amazing that you’re mine i can’t explain it you’re the greatest story ever told but you keep it like a secret code your thoughts are so amazing but your silence is so frustrating you’re the greatest story ever told but you keep it like a secret code you can turn the metal into gold the ritual i wish you would do it i’d put myself i’d put myself through it the ritual i wish you would do it i’d put my sweat and put my blood into it

I believe in an angel I believe in an angel i was praying for an angel to save me from the darkness of my soul i didn’t know i was in danger i never should have given you control your crooked arrow taking aim at everybody on the straight and narrow i got pulled into your game and now I know I’ll never be the same but i will never let you down i will never let you go if you wanna come back now there’s still time for me to drive you home maybe we were better friends maybe it’s a big mistake but if it were up to them they would find some girl to take my place but I don’t believe in fate i believe in an angel I believe in an angel I believe in an angel the first time i saw you angel you picked up on the eagerness in me you could tell i would be faithful that i would never fight or disagree your crooked arrow taking aim at everybody on the straight and narrow they say that love conquers all but like an angel you were born to fall but oh, if you fall then i'll fall with you even after everything we've been through since the day that i first kissed you i knew i'd be always with you was it worth it? all the forgotten and broken and beautiful moments lost in chaos drowning in uncertainty and doubt but there's still time for us to work things out i will never let you down i will never let you go if you wanna come back now there’s still time for me to drive you home maybe we were better friends maybe it’s a big mistake but if it were up to them they would find some girl to take my place but I don’t believe in fate… i will never let you down i will never let you go if you wanna come back now there’s still time for me to drive you home maybe we were better friends maybe it’s a big mistake but if it were up to them they would find some girl to take my place but I don’t believe in fate i believe in an angel

late one night i had a dream i’ve had before but i didn’t recognize you were there with the same flower in your hair and the same look in your eyes won’t you help me find it maybe we both can bind it the evil in this place but you have to want it and you have to confront it it’s written on your face i don’t want to live in agony i just want to feel the ecstacy too many times i’ve tried to hide the evil i feel in me baby take my hand and come with me i can help you live eternally but don’t look back they’ll all attack what we believe there’s evil behind you… late one night i had a dream i’ve had before but it didn’t feel the same you were there you were lost but you didn’t care and you didn’t know your name i said i’ll help you find it maybe we can look behind it it’s time to face our fears but you have to want it you just have to ask for something or it will disappear i don’t want to live in agony i just want to feel the ecstacy too many times i’ve tried to hide the evil i feel in me baby take my hand and come with me i can help you live eternally but don’t look back they’ll all attack what we believe there’s evil behind you… do you recognize the source of it? this hollow broken thing living in silence it cries to be free, its heartless eyes piercing out of the darkness behind unable to speak feeding on helplessness not guilty or innocent decaying in nothingness it doesn’t die but you don’t have to keep it alive there’s evil behind you but you can leave it behind you

but nothing you can do will help to forget about it so you drive all night to empty your head about it and you say you don’t care but you can’t think enough about it enough about it where we go no one knows so come along we’re hitting the road hold tight the ones that you love the ones that you love the ones that you love they’ll try to take them from us take them from us take them from us we’ll tell the angels above God and the devil are on the same side our friends no longer with us will with our love return to the sky hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride there’s nothing we can do to prepare for the road ahead so you try to shut your mind off and just go to bed but if you’re still up we can talk for a little bit a little bit where we go (where we go) no one knows (no one knows) so come along we’re running the show hold tight the ones that you love the ones that you love the ones that you love they’ll try to take them from us take them from us take them from us we’ll tell the angels above God and the devil are on the same side our friends no longer with us will with our love return to the sky hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride you can hold on to me like a wild stallion or a fistful of water like a memory that’s fading away away you can hold on to me like a nightmare or a wayward daughter but in the morning i’m flying away away hold tight the ones that you love the ones that you love the ones that you love they’ll try to take them from us take them from us take them from us we’ll tell the angels above God and the devil are on the same side our friends no longer with us will with our love return to the sky hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on hold on and let’s ride hold on

i wish i had hope for the future i wish i could see further i barely even know what i work for every day i have to do it every day i tried to save the world with my music i don’t know who can use it but i hope that if you’re out there this song will find you well even though i’ve never met you i think you have such potential and i hope that you know what your love means to me i am praying while i’m falling that you can find a higher calling and maybe we can set each other free yeah i wanna know where the rainbow ends i wanna know if it can keep me from falling apart i wanna know when the love kicks in to save me from the darkness of my heart i wanna know where the rainbow ends i wanna know does life really imitate art? i wanna know when the love kicks in to save me from the darkness of my heart i can hear the angels screaming i can feel the night sky bleeding i can see the sun receding every day it’s getting darker every day i don’t know why i keep trying if i smiled at you i’d be lying but as long as we’re both crying you can sit with me even though i’ve never met you i think you have such potential and i hope that you know what your love means to me i am praying while i’m falling that you can find a higher calling and maybe we can set each other free slipping through our hands is this all there is? are we forever damned to think we ever lived? i wanna know if it all breaks down can we ever let it go? fading broken future, another empty hole every night i pray for stability and hope if it all breaks down can we ever let it go? a dream is dying slow but i wanna know yeah i wanna know where the rainbow ends i wanna know if it can keep me from falling apart i wanna know when the love kicks in to save me from the darkness of my heart i wanna know where the rainbow ends i wanna know does life really imitate art? i wanna know when the love kicks in to save me from the darkness of my heart (Yes… This is goodbye. But you will be back again. Because this is the city that exists at the end of time.)
