secondhand serenade – hear me now album

distance

i'm driving down the highway cold and dark, dead
(it's deceiving)
it's deceiving
and miles and miles pass by and i'm alone
my eyes feel like they're bleeding
but i'm just crying

is this what i ask for?
is this what i ask for?

i hate myself when i'm away from you
i swear i'm sorry
please don't hate me too
and i don't know if my heart will make it through
i swear i'm sorry
please don't hate me too

i don't suppose you heard me call your name, girl
if you say louder, then i'll scream louder
the cities in between us block the way
they make it harder
but i'll scream louder

is this what i ask for?
is this what i ask for?

i hate myself when i'm away from you
i swear i'm sorry
please don't hate me too
and i don't know if my heart will make it through
i swear i'm sorry
please don't hate me too

(don't hate me)
don't fail now
hold on to hope
cause i'm yours i'm coming home to you soon
(i'm coming home)
cause the road is very worn
and it's begging me to come back
(to you)

i hate myself when i'm away from you
i swear i'm sorry (i'm sorry)
please don't hate me too
(i'm coming home)
don't hate me too
please don't hate me too

hear me now
(feat. juliet simms of automatic loveletter)

left everything behind me,
searching for the strength i thought i had inside me,
left you behind so lonely,
praying for the day that you would somehow find me.

i was young (you were wrong)
but i tried (i was trying to give that i had lost through all i see)
hear me now.

all i can say is i am not afraid,
of the world that i am trying to push you in,
i fight everyday, but i am to blame,
i am not innocent, but i am not afraid.

i lost all the things inside me, (inside me)
still have found myself with all the will to free me from you,
i'm asleep, i'm happy, (i'm happy)
want to know so much for you to someday see me.

tell me how, (i want to)
sing it loud, (i need you to be the one who catches all my dreams)
hear me now

all i can say, is i am not afraid,of the world that i am trying to push you in,
i fight everyday, but i am to blame,
i am not innocent, but i am not afraid anymore,
i am not afraid, anymore...

i'm tired of sleeping,
alone i've been grieving,
the life that i gave up to feel alive,
i want to feel alive..

i'm not afraid, anymore,
i'm not afraid, anymore,
i'm not afraid, (i want to feel alive)
anymore, (i want to feel alive)
i'm not afraid, (i want to feel, i need to feel)
anymore, (i want to feel alive) [x4]

i'm not afraid, (hold on tight)
anymore, (let's make this right)
i'm not afraid (take me, make me, feel alive tonight)­is there anybody out there

Is there anybody out there

you can say goodbye,
to all the things that you have ever known.
you can say goodbye,
and leave behind the life that you have grown.
what's the point,
you try to start from scratch,
but get let down,

you can say goodbye,
just to realize there's no-one left around.
so what am i fighting for.

tell me
is there anybody out there,
am i swimming through this empty sea alone,
am i looking for an answer
or am i trying to find a way to get back home.
is there anybody out there,
would you hear me if i screamed or if i cried,
i'm looking for an answer
and just trying to find a way to survive.

you can live and die,
without the chance to find out what you’re worth,
you can live and die,
and never find the one that she'd deserve,
you can walk alone,
and live inside the shadows in your heart,

you can say goodbye
or live to find out you've been alone right from the startso what am i fighting for.

tell meis there anybody out there,
am i swimming through this empty sea alone,
am i looking for an answer,
or am i trying to find a way to get back home.
is there anybody out there,
would you hear me if i screamed or if i cried,
I’m looking for an answer
and just trying to find a way to survive.

never thought that i would end up all alone,
every day i am feeling further away from home,
i can't catch my breath,
but I’m holding on.

is there anybody out there,
is this the last time i have to say goodbye,
am i staring at my future,
is it time to take charge of my life,

is there anybody out there
am i swimming through this empty sea alone,
am i looking for an answer,
or am i trying to find a way to get back home,
is there anybody out there,
would you hear me if i screamed or if i cried,
I’m looking for an answer,
and just trying to find a way to survive,
a way to survive,

and I’m holding on.

nightmares

look away, pray for salvation,
and pray for a sweet conversation.
the problems not with you.
it's without you.
i love the way that you told me i'm better
the way you described me in letters.
there's nothing i can do,
is there nothing i can do.

i'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
and ill scream just to get your attention.
i have seen the nightmares that tore us apart

so long, I wish you will tell me your wrong.
that were not dead and buried,
and save your harsh goodbyes,
your salty liquid eyes.
and this song, is just another song.
don't know why i bother.
i can't tell truth from lies.
i can't tell truth from lies.

i'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
and ill scream just to get your attention.
i have seen the nightmares that tore us apart

your fire’s burning bright.
it's burning me alive.
no one can save me now.
your touch was all i had.
it's eating me alive.
no one can save me now.

i'll scream just to get your attention.
i have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
and ill scream just to get your attention.
i have seen the nightmares that tore us apart

your touch was all i had.

only hope

my beating heart is getting tired.
tonight it feels like it's on fire,
and i'm driving all alone.
my hand is on my phone,
aiting for you to call me.
please pick up the phone and call me,
cause i'm lonely and my mind is aching.
can't you see i'm for the taking?

you are my only hope,
but you're so far.
and you are my only hope,
so come back home from where you are.

i see your face on everyone,
like the constant beating of the sun right on my skin.
i'm suffering without you.
"it's out of reach" on my stereo
is starting to feel real close to home,
and i can't bear just to sleep here without you.

you are my only hope,
but you're so far.
and you are my only hope,
so come back home from where you are.

just come back home from where you are.
just come back home..

sometimes i feel like i was mistaken.
you must be an angel.
sit down and teach me what life was all about.
i see myself changing.
no longer a stranger.
you gave me a reason to never die.

you are my only hope,
but you're so far.
and you are my only hope,
so come back home from where you are.

reach for the sky

watch you waste away.
you were born to shine, but left behind.
slowly fades to grey.
yet you say you are fine, but i fear you are blind.
how could you believe that you’re not strong?
you don't believe in yourself.

So reach for the sky
i would pick you up if i could.
And open your eyes
i would pick you up if i could.

listen to the sound,
of your days passing by while you live a lie.
why'd you turn around,
why'd you say goodbye, was there no reply?
how could you believe that you’ve done wrong?
you don't believe in yourself.

so, reach for the sky
i would pick you up if i could.
And open your eyes
i would pick you up if i could.

then i saw your face
you were left alone
but you're not alone
you're not alone [x2]

reach for the sky
i would pick you up if i could.
And open your eyes
i would pick you up if i could.

you're not alone [x5]

so long

i am leaving for a while can you tell me that we. will. be. Ok
your friends think that i am no good, all they ever do is try to pull you away.
but i wont let them ever take you, ever take you, ever take you.

so long, i've waited for this day to find someone to go to, and i just want to tell you,
that its so on, we're leaving yesterday, and i don't think life
will ever be the same, lets take this all the way.

Long dead silence on the phone,
leading to a dial tone, this is not what i have planned,
endless memories without you, life passing by with out you,
each day just like a grain of sand, but i wont let them ever take you
ever take you ever take you

so long, i've waited for this day to find someone to go to, and i just want to tell you,
that its so on, we're leaving yesterday, and i don't think life
will ever be the same, lets take this all the way.

can you face me, can you wait for it
can you taste me, can you fight for it
will you fight for it.

so long, i've waited for this day to find someone to go to, and i just want to tell you,
that its so on, we're leaving yesterday, and i don't think life
will ever be the same, lets take this all the way.

something more

i lie awake again, my bodies feeling paralysed
i can’t remember when
i didn’t live through this disguise
the words you said to me
they couldn’tset me free

I’m stuck here in this life i didn’t ask for
there must be something more,
do we know what we’re fighting for?
breathe in breathe out
and all these masks we wore
we never knew what we had in store
breathe in breathe out

the storm is rolling in
the thunders loud it hurts my ears
im paying for my sins
and its kinda rain for years and years
i fooled everyone and now what will i become?
i have to start this over
i have to start this over

there must be something more,
do we know what we’re fighting for?
breathe in breathe out
and all these masks we wore
we never knew what we had in store
breathe in breathe out

i fooled everyone and now what will i become?
i have to start this over
i have to start this over

there must be something more,
do we know what we’re fighting for?
breathe in breathe out
and all these masks we wore
we never knew what we had in store
breathe in breathe out

there must be something more
breathe in breathe out

there must be something more

stay away

something isn't right,
i'm losing faith in everything i know,
what do i know?

It’s only i should fight,
not be self destructive thinking i should go,
what do i know?

stay away from me!
i need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
I want you stay a part of me.

i need you too badly,
i need you too badly,
i need you too badly.

i wrote this song tonight,
just to feel like i was not alone,
but i am alone.

i don't have the right to ask for your
forgiveness on the phone,
cause i am alone.

stay away from me!
i need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
won't you stay a part of me?

i need you too badly,
i need you too badly,
i need you too badly.

this feelings never ending,
and i can't keep pretending,
that it's you i want,
that it's you.
i'm not okay,
i'm not okay.

stay away from me!
i need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
won't you stay a part of me?

i need you too badly,
i need you too badly,
i need you too badly.

world turns

turn slowly,

you changed so fast

and i don't have the strength.

all i see

is broken glass

with tiny shards of pain.

and change is coming my way, but i still feel the same, i still feel the same.

and change is coming my way, but i still feel the same, i still feel the same.

hold structure,

don't let life pass,

let yourself be free.

cause you're much more,

forget the past,

i'm your enemy.

and change is coming my way,

but i still feel the same, i still feel the same.

and change is coming my way,

but i still feel the same, i still feel the same.

it's quiet (it's quiet)

it's calm now (it's calm now)

no waiting (i'm waiting)

to fall down (to fall down)

you showed me (you showed me)

that i need hope (that i need hope)

that i need change (that i need change)

to know how it feels to be alone

how does it feel to be alone

and change is coming my way,

but i still feel the same, i still feel the same.

and change is coming my way,

but i still feel the same, i still feel the same.

you are a drug

today was just another day

emotionless and stale

everytime i try to reach you

i always seem to fail

you're living in this shell

and you don't recognize your sin

you've taken not just me for granted

but the world you're living in

and so you stand there

and you pray for god to see

but the only one you have to be

honest to is me

you are a drug,

i cannot quit you

you are a drug,

i'm still lonely with you

you're not in love,

but i still need to

hold on to you

what have i gotten into?

everytime i get a taste of you

it keeps me wanting more

yeah, i suffocate from all the words

you said to me before

it seems as though you speak to me

as if it isn't sure

i know i fight for something

but what am i fighing for?

and so i stand there

and i pray for god to see

i just need the strength alone

to do what's best for me

you are a drug,

i cannot quit you

you are a drug,

i'm still lonely with you

you're not in love,

but i still need to

hold on to you

what have i gotten into?

and this world is fast

it's passed me by

but you're still here

and i don't know why

you've lost your smile

but we can try

to bring it back to life

you are a drug,

i cannot quit you

you are a drug,

i'm still lonely with you

you're not in love,

but i still need to

hold on to you

what have i gotten into?

[x2]

you and i

i'm feeling distracted,

and likewise attracted,

to all the things that you let me know,

all the things that you can't let go.

you're waiting for friction,

this empty addiction

is forcing me to intervene.

let's break out of this scene.

i know, i'm not alone.

i'm not the only one who is broken.

and i know i'll never let you go.

i could watch the world pass by,

just as long as it's you and i, you and i.

i watch you take over.

i'll give you this offer:

take my hand and we'll run away,

leave behind our past to stay.

decaying 'til it's rotten.

a we'll have long forgotten

the memories that will haunt your heart.

let's tear this town apart.

i know, i'm not alone.

i'm not the only one who is broken.

and i know i'll never let you go.

i could watch the world pass by,

just as long as it's you and i, you and i.

we watch the world go by,

but if it's you and i

then we will never die,

no we can never die

[x2]

i know, i'm not alone.

i'm not the only one who is broken.

and i know i'll never let you go.

i could watch the world pass by,

just as long as it's you and i, you and i.

[x2]
