Tellin' St

I've been lookin' to save the city
Looks like the biggest thing
And now you seem like you're not so real
As the songs you give

So you pack up your bags and leave
To what seems like a better dream
It's alright we're only teething
Only young

Yeah since you came
Last week to say you're on your way
You don't have to say good luck
'cos i don't need it babe

The occasional sin
Is like your music my friend
And the singer
He don't look me in the eye

Is there a soul in young things
Or in the people you meet
I know you're obviously misbelieving
What you're saying is only right

Yeah, since you came
My sweet to say, you're on your way
You don't have to wish me good luck
'cos i don't need it babe

Meanwhile, you're only dreaming
Me i've got something to see in
A heartache's as good as you feel it
And now you're on your own

I know i've been losing you
And it looks like i'll use you too
It broke in a million pieces
Overnight

I've been to the promised land
And i shook the almighty hand
Who said it's alright you're only teethin'
In my eyes

Yeah, since you came last week
To say you're on your way
You don't have to say good luck
'cos i don't need it babe

How high
Oh! i can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile
While you hitch hike
Love shines a light
I'll be a winners cup
And i'm lookin' for the one who cut you up
You're not having me
You know the skies are mean
And i'm hopin' for a way to free you

Love i'm fixing holes
The ones you break up
Come in from your drive
And the hand that rocks you
Cuts you up like
Lyrics of your life

I can't buy
What i've done before
I want to open up another door
I'm going to let you pass
I'm on another path
I want to be the king
While you zig zag
On a holy road
Like caine from kung fu
How high oh! i can kiss the sun

Hang on to your hopes my darlin'
Don't let it slip away
And the hand who holds you
Keeps you warm
And helps you live today

Love shines a light
And it takes and it hurts
I know i'm right
I can bend 'til i burst
And love shines a light
And repays you with us
Yeah too right
I'm gonna pledge my time 'til the day i die

How high
Oh! i can kiss the sun
Run a minute mile while you hitch hike
Love shines a light
I'll be a lovin' cup
I'll be down when you're down
I'll be up when you're up
You're not havin'
I know the skies are mean
And i'll be looking for a way to free you love

I'm fixing holes
The ones you break up
Comin' from your drive
And the hand that rocks you
Cuts you up like
Lyrics of your life

Love shines a light
And it takes and it hurts
I know i'm right
I can bend 'til i burst
And love shines a light
And repays you with us
Yeah too right
I'm gonna pledge my time 'til the day i die

Darlin' don't you cry
Whatever is yours is mine
All the pictures on your wall
I know you look up to them all
Usually love comes first
I watch as you twist and turn
I could give you mouth to mouth
And only the truth would come out

Here i come how can you follow
It's only a gut feelin'
I don't want to believe it
How can you leave us
How can you bleed on us

Darlin' you live to learn
Hanging on all our words
Promise me you'll be home soon
I could rush through the city to you
Won't find you in this world
Catchin' dinosaurs
No saint will save you this time round
I only wish you were here with us now

Here i come how can you follow
It's only a gut feelin'
I don't want to believe it
How can you leave us
How can you bleed on us

All the people gather round
And see the sun set high
Leaders and your disused milk
Will quietly pass you by

What will it be
My melody will set you free
I know you'd rather be with us
Than be with them today
I could be alone with you
While all the pretty people
Watch the years go by
And in your free world
You will sail on

Ooh! you're a big girl now
You're a big girl now

See her through jet pilot eyes
Mysterious and thin
Like a raven breakin' free
From the towers they keep you in

What a scene it is to see
I would love to have you round
I will be alone with you
I will wait out on the streets
Watching wheels go by
And with your freedom
You will sail on

Ooh! you're a big girl now
You're a big girl now

One to another
Sister and a brother
Changing the way that you feel
Pleased to meet you
Hope i never see you
I'll be at ease watchin' you sleep watchin' you smile

Love i adore you
Always lookin' for you
And i'll be there whenever you need me
Be my spiderwoman i'll be your spiderman

I hear our day is comin'
Grows sweeter every year
Tomorrow could be too easy
And today's goin' to be too near
Justice for believers and love can keep the faith
I don't need you i can't buy you i can't hurt you

One to another
Peace to my brother
Always giving me his thing for free
Sad to knock you
Its good to rock you
And i'll do it the best that i can

I hear our day is coming
Gets sweeter every year
Tomorrow's gonna be too easy
And today's gonna be too near
Trust is for believers and love can keep the faith
I don't need you i can't buy you i can't hurt you

Stand by my accusations
I'll come clean i don't need no vice
I know you want to keep me waitin'
I think its funny that you might
Love is hard to leave
And it's hard to never have

Can you please crawl out of your window
You can play with all my love
Yeah yeah yeah
Box up all our records
And a head full of ideas
And a hand full of escape routes
They're going to burn you
