letra de Called Out In the Dark
It's like we just can't help ourselves

'Cause we don't know how to back down

We were called out to the streets

We were called in to the towns

And how the heavens, they opened up

Like arms of dazzling gold

With our rain washed histories

Well they do not need to be told

Show me now, show me the arms aloft

Every eye trained on a different star

This magic

This drunken semaphore

And I

We are listening

And we're not blind

This is your life

This is your time

We are listening

And we're not blind

This is your life

This is your time

I was called out in the dark

By a choir of beautiful cheats

And as the kids took back the parks

You and I were left with the streets

Show me now, show me the arms aloft

Every eye trained on a different star

This magic

This drunken semaphore

And I

We are listening

And we're not blind

This is your life

This is your time

The Weight of LoveVer letra 4:15

letra de The Weight of Love
Your ancient threat, I can hear it from the garden

I can see it coming, I can see it come for miles

What you're thinking right now? 'Cause I think that I can guess

If we set off now, we’ll have the highway to ourselves

And you love the little signs of life

You love it when we lose our minds

You love these little wars of words

You love it when they call your name, your name

A new empire beckons, a new kingdom in the distance

No gods are present, just the sky, the earth, and us

No wings no halos, nor the thunder in the footsteps

'Cause fear and anger, they are law unto themselves

And you love the little signs of life

You love it when we lose our minds

You love these little wars of words

You love it when they call your name

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love so gentle in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love so gentle in your arms

It’s just like you told me, that I should learn to let it all go

It just took ‘til now, for me to get just what you meant

My heart is thumping, I can feel it in my fingers

No fear, no anger, we are law unto ourselves

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love so gentle in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love so gentle in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love in your arms

It’s the weight of love so gentle in your arms
This Isn't Everything You Are 4:58
The Garden RulesVer letra 4:28

letra de The Garden Rules
There's the river there's your house and there's the church

And there's us years ago

Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose

Is where we'd hide ourselves

Yes we were just kids

But you couldn't tell us that

These are the garden rules

That's what you always said

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so

Oh you will never know how much I love you

You would call the garden rules out like commands

And we would all obey

But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke

And puncture the pretend

Then we would chase our tails

Until the sun forgot to shine

And our parents called our names

'Til just you and I were left

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so

Oh you will never know how much I love you

From your house we walk the river

To the church by the silent fields

Amongst the lavender and headstones

And the larks in our Sunday clothes

Your father calls to you

As he's looking at his watch

You leave me with a kiss

On my quickly heating cheek

Oh you'll never know how much I love you so

Oh you will never know how much I love you

letra de Fallen Empires
You called my name in the dark

Called me back to the start

The condensation is building tension

A stubborn silence is formed

Around our bodies it's warm

The cool wet grasses as summer passes

Frightened under attack

Fallen flat on my back

Arms and legs I'm too scared to beg

You haunt me most when it's light

The thought of you don't sit right

I need the darkness a death grip embrace

Razing cities to dust

Faces dripping in lust

Fallen empires and raging bush fires

All your words confounded

Secret lives bound and hid

Living backwards in tangled back woods

You ruined everything right

So good I can't see the light

From my cave I can see the wave

Fallen empires and raging bush fires

We are the light, we are the light [repeat until end]

Run to the fire [repeat until end]

New YorkVer letra 4:01

letra de New York
If you were here beside me instead of in New York

If the curve of you was curved on me

I’d tell you that I loved you before I ever knew you

'Cause I loved the simple thought of you

If our hearts are never broken and there’s no joy in the mending

There’s so much this hurt can teach us both

There’s distance and there’s silence, your words have never left me

They’re the prayer that I say every day

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

The lone neon nights and the ache of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all, from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it snaps me in two

If you were here beside me instead of in New York

In the arms you said you'd never leave

I'd tell you that it's simple and it was only ever thus

There is nowhere else that I belong

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

Come on, come out, come here, come here

The lone neon nights and the ache of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it snaps me in two

Just give me a sign, there’s an end and not beginning

To the quiet chaos driving me mad

The lone neon nights and the walls of the ocean

And the fire that is starting to go out
In the EndVer letra 3:59

[X]
letra de In the End
It's the price I guess

For the lies I've told

That the truth it no longer thrills me

And why can't we laugh?

When it's all we have

Have we put these childish things away?

Have we lost the magic that we once had?

[Chorus:]

In the end, In the end

There's nothing more to life than love is there?

In the end, In the end

It's time for us to lose our weary minds

Will you dance with me?

Like we used to dance

And remember how to move together

You are the torch

And it all makes sense

I've waited here for you forever

I've waited here for you forever

[Chorus]

We're lost 'til we learn how to ask

So please please just ask

[Chorus]
Those Distant BellsVer letra 3:18

[X]
letra de Those Distant Bells
The car crunches gravel and the wind licks at you

This dark spell you're under has you dumbstruck by the gate

It hurts every muscle just to walk back to the house

Now this home that you both made, it looks haunted from the yard

You can hear those distant bells and you know they'll never leave

It's like your church is crying out, like the wolf calls to her young

And the dark never enters but it also never leaves

And the spark that he gave you is just an ember all but out

If he'd one eye on the exit, oh you never would have known

Till he drove off in the darkness like some slowly fading song

You can hear those distant bells and you know they'll never leave

It's like your church is crying out, like the wolf calls to her young

You can hear those distant bells and you know they'll never leave

It's like your church is crying out, like the wolf calls to her young
The SymphonyVer letra 6:06

letra de The Symphony
Wooden floors

Wooden floors whisper

And they creak

Under your sockless feet

A secret door

A door undiscovered

You knock so gently

In case you're heard

A record plays

A song that you've not heard

It is perfect

It is home

Everything

Now everything's different

It is sweeter

On your tongue

Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream

The engine's more a sigh than a scream

Your ghosts look more like angels from there

The coast comes like a raft of warm air

Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream

The engine's more a sigh than a scream

Your ghosts look more like angels from there

The coast comes like a raft of warm air

A symphony

Slow music of longing

Plays in movements

Inside your head

There are no ghosts

No ghosts that can shake you

Like they used to

Anymore

Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream

The engine's more a sigh than a scream

Your ghosts look more like angels from there

The coast comes like a raft of warm air

You can see the road ahead in your dream

The engine's more a sigh than a scream

Your ghosts look more like angels from there

The coast comes like a raft of warm air

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get

If this is all you ever asked for

Then this is all you'll get
The PresidentVer letra 4:34

[X]
letra de The President
I've run to ground

I've run from everyone that I have ever known

I'm aching cold

I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me

And it's broke before you know it

Before you knew what it was for

All you know is you can't fix it

And you wish you'd listened more

To your instincts to your family

To the wisdom you'd ignored

Are you finally gonna ask us for help?

I've crashed to earth

But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief

I saw your face

In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes

And it's broke before you know it

Before you knew what it was for

All you know is you can't fix it

And you wish you'd listened more

To your instincts to your family

To the wisdom you'd ignored

When you finally gonna ask us for help?

I can see you at the front gate

As you wait on my return

The years have blurred to eons

But the tears have never dried

But I'm not coming to you like this

So battered down and sad

I will take the road forgotten again
