Animal Heart lyrics - Courage My Love

I wanna tear you limb from limb
Just so I can touch your skin
Feel all the places you've been

I wanna claw you to the core
So I can find your beating heart
Bare my teeth and sink them in

Can you feel my animal heart?
There's a beast inside these bones of mind
Running wild through the night
Can you feel my animal heart?

I wanna know your every move
Just so I can lick your wounds
Shed all my skin and bury you

I always knew the day would come
When we'd grow fond of tasting blood
Bare our teeth howling at the moon

Here in the dark
I'm lying awake
Asleep in my arms
I'm hunting my prey

Stereo lyrics - Courage My Love

We were kids smoking up
Wild fire in our lungs
Burnt the world just because we could

Dirty knees, summer dress
Stolen liquor on our lips
Heels in our hands, walking home with you

Now you hate saying my name
Fading in and out of your waves
I'm a song you don't wanna play

I hope you hear this on your radio
Frequency feelings that keep peaking
I'm out of control
Sending signals I just can't decode
Got me back and forth, lost in your stereo

I always thought you and I
Would be like the stars at night
Permanent, never drift apart

You drew a line in the sand
That divided all our plans
Never meant to let it get this far

I'm a song you don't wanna play

Frequency feelings I get
When you play your games in my head
You've got me watching my step
But I keep running back in the end

"Becoming" (2015)




Skin And Bone lyrics - Courage My Love

Three little words, but the conviction is missing.
It's so easy to speak, but so much harder to listen.
We're at the end of the road, but I felt haggard and old long ago.

And so I'll pour out my heart, but you know my heart isn't in it-
Well, it was there at the start, but now I'm scared to admit it;
I have turned into a ghost.
There's nothing left but the bones of before.

All we are is skin and bone.
Holding on and letting go
All we are is skin and bone,
We're too old to die young.

Three years ago, but now it feels so much closer,
We were the brightest at first, but it was overexposure
Oh, I need to feel you in my soul
And now I guess we'll never know

All we are is skin and bone.
Holding on and letting go
All we are is skin and bone,
We're too old to die young.

I need to feel you in my soul.

Cold Blooded lyrics - Courage My Love

Slow me down, counting every step,
I remember that time, remember that place.
You're filling my mind with thoughts I can't erase.
Deeper now, holding every breath
I shut the world out, you let yourself in
A little creature here in my skin

Your eyes are always on me
I can't let you win

Take comfort, you'll find a new lover
Cold blooded, I know what you are.
Now I see you shed your skin in front of me
Cold blooded, I know what you are.

It's hard to say why I've been trying to escape
No matter how far I run away,
I always end up back in the same place,
It's getting closer and closer
You're gripping tighter and tighter.
We do this over and over and over

Your eyes are always on me
I can't let you win

Take comfort, you'll find a new lover
Cold blooded, I know what you are.
Now I see you shed your skin in front of me
Cold blooded, I know what you are.

Just let this go [x4]
Just let me go

Take comfort, you'll find a new lover
Cold blooded, I know what you are.
Now I see you shed your skin in front of me
Cold blooded, I know what you are.

Kerosene lyrics - Courage My Love

(So this is where we are)
(So this is where we are)

So this is where we are
We're not at the end we're past the start
I keep my eyes on the ground
You put your hands in my heart

Cause when it's you and me
We can't decide what we should be
Should we just put this fire out
And cover it in kerosene

You and I could be brighter
Than a thousand hands holding lighters
(Woah oh oh)
Tell me you need me
(Woah oh oh)
And we'll burn like kerosene

You and I sparked an ember
This kind of love could go on forever
(Woah oh oh)
Tell me you need me
(Woah oh oh)
And we'll burn like kerosene

Yeah this is where we are
We're so much closer in the dark
Just when I'm safe in your arms
Then we unravel apart Oh

And honestly
Are you hearing me
It's so hard to say the words out loud
Can barely breathe
When you're here with me
And I need to know if you want this now

You and I could be brighter
Than a thousand hands holding lighters
(Woah oh oh)
Tell me you need me
(Woah oh oh)
And we'll burn like kerosene

You and I sparked an ember
This kind of love could go on forever
(Woah oh oh)
Tell me you need me
(Woah oh oh)
And we'll burn like kerosene

And we'll burn like kerosene

Put your hands in my heart

Then we are never apart

You and I could be brighter
Than a thousand hands holding lighters
(Woah oh oh)
Tell me you need me
(Woah oh oh)
And we'll burn like kerosene

You and I sparked an ember
This kind of love could go on forever
(Woah oh oh)
Tell me you need me
(Woah oh oh)
And we'll burn like kerosene

(Woah oh oh)
Put your hands in my heart
(Woah oh oh)
So this is where oh so this is where we are
(Woah oh oh)
Put your hands in my heart
(Woah oh oh)
So this is where, so this is where we are

Unfamiliar Sheets lyrics - Courage My Love

I'll cut my hair and buy new clothes.
Change completely I suppose.
Scatter our ashes around the yard.
You're telling everyone you know.
You never wanted to let me go
I never thought it would be so hard.

If you feel my love tonight,
Would it be enough this time?
(My almost)

I'll fall, yeah I will fall asleep in unfamiliar sheets tonight.
It's on my mind
In the dark, in the dark I'll breathe for what feels like the first time tonight.
It's on my mind
Let's go back to last summer,
When we faced the world together.
On and on, I couldn't tell you what I want

I held my breath and listened low,
But you stopped speaking months ago.
You only talk when it's in your sleep
My thoughts have been so hard to read.
Even the mirror doesn't recognize me.
I feel so much older than the face that I see.

Lost Cause lyrics - Courage My Love

If there's one thing you can count on, it's for me to let you down.
Since the moment I could walk, o couldn't handle solid ground.

If you want conversation I'm too petrified to speak,
But if you want hesitation, I'm the girl you need to meet.

And if there's one thing that I could say
"we're better of , so much better off this way.
And I can't believe, no I can't believe that this came true.
I waited my whole life to find you."

Maybe I'm a lost cause,
But I can tell you're the safe bet that I'm counting on.
And it could be that it's all talk,
But I'm holding my breath hoping that it's not.
I'm holding my breath, yeah I'm holding on.

I leapt from a skyscraper when you crept into my head,
And just when I'm about to fall you only pick me up instead.

If words could ever tell you, oh I wish I could explain
How since the moment that I fell for you I've never been the same.

Everything you said going through my head now.
Now I can't forget, no I can't forget
Everything you said ringing in my head loud,
No I can't forget.

Do As You're Told lyrics - Courage My Love

19 unable to believe but you're willing to pretend
So unsure well you've been there before
Now you're feeling it again
You say you've been in love or at least you thought
You didn't feel it enough or was it too much

You don't know you just do as your told [x2]
Uptight you've never been right
Held it close to your chest
You held out but now without a doubt
All they want is the rest

You say we are in love
Don't say that we're not
You didn't feel it enough was it too much

You don't know you just do as your told [x4]

Every time you say forever
Every time you lose a little more

You don't know you just do as your told [x2]

Take your time
When you say your all all mine
Cause you always rush
When you fall for someone out of trust

Take your time you don't know you don't know
When you say your mine you don't know you don't know
Cause you always rush you don't know you don't know
When you fall for someone out of trust you don't know [x2]

You don't know you just do as your told [x4]

Every time you say forever
Every time you lose a little more

You don't know you just do as your told [x2]

Goodbye To Giving Up lyrics - Courage My Love

Tonight I'm cutting ties
cracked lips and bloodshot eyes,
I've been compromised,
knocked down, but I'm still alive.
Tonight I'm letting go,
I've given up on my last hope
but I'll stay afloat
because you feel like forever ago
Maybe one day we'll find home.

Goodbye, say goodbye to giving up.
Just keep your head up in the clouds
this time I'll survive and laugh it off.
Just hold your breath and don't look down.

I can't believe I'm here again,
burning bridges with all my friends.
Well I can't pretend
that I've never won in the end.
I'm sick of this dead end town
where everyone just brings me down.
Well it's over now,
this time I'll turn it around.
Maybe one day I'll let go.

Goodbye, say goodbye to giving up.
Just keep your head up in the clouds
this time I'll survive and laugh it off.
Just hold your breath and don't look down.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore lyrics - Courage My Love

I can see the end closing in on the room
Can we go back again and re-discover our youth?
But I'm too scared to ask
Is this all according to plan?
It's happening so fast

Why can't you understand
We've got a crisis on our hands
Can't rely on a second chance
This time we're on our own
Click your heels, you're never coming home
Click your heels, you're never coming home

(2, 3, 4!)

I can see the end, it always shows up too soon.
Can we go back again and re-discover the truth?
But I'm too scared to ask
Is this all according to plan?
It's happening so fast

Why can't you understand
We've got a crisis on our hands
Can't rely on a second chance
This time we're on our own
Click your heels, you're never coming home
Click your heels, you're never coming home

The more we wait, the less things change
It's too late, it's too late
When you lie awake and count your mistakes,
It's too late, it's too late

Why can't you understand
We've got a crisis on our hands
Can't rely on a second chance
This time we're on our own
Click your heels, you're never coming home
Click your heels, you're never coming home

Why can't you understand
We've got a crisis on our hands
Can't rely on a second chance
This time we're on our own

All I Need lyrics - Courage My Love

Hold me together when I feel like I might fall apart.
Promise you'll never lose the pieces of my fragile heart,
And if it breaks will you rebuild it better than the start?
Just promise me.

Tell me your secrets, why you're so afraid to be alone.
Show me your weaknesses, I promise I won't let you go.
Don't ever wonder if the words I speak are honest, so just promise me...

...that maybe you're all I need and it's never been clearer.
'cuz baby, you're all I see when I look in the mirror
And I don't want to let this feeling go,
Drowning in the undertow,
Holding on to one belief; that all I need is in front of me

Give me the chance to show you every word I've said is true.
We've both been hurt before, but all roads led me straight to you.
Let's sew our broken hearts together and be good as new
Just promise me.

I can't tell if we're both falling too fast.
I have a tendency to make things not last.
But you don't know that,
You knew it back then when you promised me...

Hold me closer.
Be the one who stayed
When everything I believed shattered around me.
I was lost in a bad dream when you found me,
Reaching out in the dark, feeling the ground beneath my feet.

Low lyrics - Courage My Love

I've been listening
I've got my ear to the ground
I haven't heard a single sound that's familiar
Your always whispering but your voice is not your own
At least its not the one Ive known
And I hope that someday you retrace your way back to me
Don't say it's too late for us
It's not to late for me

Ohhhh

High and low I've been looking for you
Tell me where did you go to
I I moved so slow but I'm not moving toward you
Oh I just want to know you

So are you coming clean
I'd give anything to know
Now that you let your colors show
Are you still standing on your own
Your still a part of me like the water in my lungs
Your like the venom in my blood
And I hope that someday you will retrace your way back to me
Don't say its too late for us
It's not too late for me

Ohhhh

High and low I've been looking for you
Tell me where did you go to
I I moved so slow but I'm not moving toward you
I just want to know you

Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh

High and low I've been looking for you
Tell me where did you go to
I moved so slow but I'm not moving toward you
I just want to know you

Oh ohhhhh

You Don't Know How lyrics - Courage My Love

Hold me, control me
(Is this what you want?)
As if you own me
(And everything I've got)

Come over slowly, sink into my skin
Everyone told me to not let this begin,begin again.

Get out if it's too much, I won't slow down.
Found out I'm strong enough on my own now.
Give up your heart to love, you don't know how.

My eyes are open, it's never been this clear.
I let you go and I watched you disappear.

Come over slowly, sink into my skin.
Everyone told me to not let this begin, begin again.

You don't know how long I've waited
Held my tongue but now I'll say this.

Dark Wood, Dark Water lyrics - Courage My Love

You let the wind in when you opened the door,
And soon I knew it would become a storm.
Still haunted by the ghosts of all the boys I let in before.

I found a safe place in you

I buried my heart; hid it deep in the ground,
And in the soil I let it drown.
And when I thought all my luck had run out,
You brought it back when you came around,
'cuz love is either in your heart or on it's way
To a safe place in you.

I found a safe place in you.

Breathing Room lyrics - Courage My Love

I caught myself in a trap
There's barely any room to breathe
Caught in the act
I guess that I should admit defeat
But I can't always break down in these situations

Oooh whoahohoh

And all I'm asking of you now
Is some of your patience oooh

I just need some breathing room
I just need to be away from you
I just need some breathing room
I just need to be away from you

Oh oh ohhh

Maybe you've got a knack
For bringing out the worst in me
Cause if you're the match
I guess that makes me the gasoline oooh
You know it always breaks down
To these situations oooh whoah oh
When all we have in common now
Are these confrontations oooh

I just need some breathing room
I just need to be away from you
I just need some breathing room
I just need to be away from you
I just need some breathing room
I just need to be away from you
I just need some breathing room
I just need to be away from you

Ooooh whoa whoa

Breathing
Breathing
Breathing
Breathing

Interlude lyrics - Courage My Love

Ohhhhhhh [x4]

Am I still running through your heart
Am I still running through your heart
Am I still running through your heart
Am I still running through your heart

I Don't Even Wanna Know lyrics - Courage My Love

Maybe we just bring out
The worst in each other
Baby we just can't stop
Hurting one another
How far is too far to go
How much is too much to hope

I don't even wanna know
If you're alright
I don't even wanna know
If you're lonely tonight
I don't even wanna know
If ignorance is bliss
Don't tell me anything more
If I'm on your mind
I don't even wanna know

Maybe you should spit it out
So I don't need to wonder
Drain the poison from your mouth
Contaminate the others

How close is too close to be
How soon is too soon to leave (leave)
I don't even wanna know
If you're alright
I don't even wanna know
If you want me tonight
I don't even wanna know
If Ignorance is bliss
Don't tell me anything more
If I'm on your mind
I don't even wanna know
If ignorance is bliss
Don't tell me anything more
I know it's selfishness
But I can't seem too let it go
There is so much to say that
I don't even wanna know
If your alright
I don't even wanna know
If you're lonely tonight
I don't even wanna know
If ignorance is bliss
Don't tell me anything more
If I'm on your mind
I don't even wanna know

For Now lyrics - Courage My Love

Well I could never be
The one who sits at home at the TV
Watching what others see
Terrified to live out my own dreams

Can you hear me now?
Are we loud enough?

Let's make this feeling last longer than tonight
For now, this crowd, we are alike
Seize it all and forget the past
We've got no reason left to fight
For now, we'll stand down
I guess I'll just dream til then
For now, let's just pretend

There I go about to jump the gun
Am I still making sense to anyone?
'Cause I've rambled on and on
And I can't say it all in just one song

Can you hear me now?
Are we loud enough?

Let's make this feeling last longer than tonight
For now, this crowd, we are alike
Seize it all and forget the past
We've got no reason left to fight
For now, we'll stand down
I guess I'll just dream til then
For now, let's just pretend

Let's make this feeling last
Let's make this feeling last
Let's make this feeling last
Oh, tonight!

Let's make this feeling last longer than tonight
For now, this crowd, we are alike
Seize it all and forget the past
We've got no reason left to fight
For now, we'll stand down
I guess I'll just dream til then
For now, let's just pretend

Anchors Make Good Shoes (If You Have Issues) lyrics - Courage My Love

Don't want to hear your sad songs
Heard them all before
Take it from me dear
You don't need them anymore

Sympathy is all you know
Just let it go

Let's find a way to turn this around
You're like an anchor, bringing me down
Sinking deeper, I can't reach you
I've seen right through your crying game
I say "hello," you run your mouth again
Sinking deeper, I can't reach you

How can I make you understand?
It's not who you are,
But it's exactly who you'll be
If you let it get that far

Sympathy is all you know
Just let it go

Let's find a way to turn this around
You're like an anchor, bringing me down
Sinking deeper, I can't reach you
I've seen right through your crying game
I say "hello," you run your mouth again
Sinking deeper, I can't reach you

You just take, take, take, take
Why can't you give, give, give, give
Before I'm gone?
You just take, take, take, take
Why can't you give, give, give, give
Before I'm gone?

Let's find a way to turn this around
You're like an anchor, bringing me down
Sinking deeper, I can't reach you
I've seen right through your crying game
I say "hello," you run your mouth again
Sinking deeper, I can't reach you

Disappear lyrics - Courage My Love

So tense never tenser
You could say I'm on the fence
But who's that you're holding hands with?
Looks like another night of?
trying to keep my distance
Feels like you're haunting this place
I'm sick of seeing you everywhere I go

I never imagined it could ever be like this
I keep looking over my shoulder trying to resist

You're just another stranger now
You're just another face that's lost in the crowd
I can't forget you, I can't forget you
You're just another stranger now

I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would

Awkward conversation, false smile, but I'm losing patience
I'm running out of things to say

I never imagined it could ever be like this
I keep looking over my shoulder trying to resist

You're just another stranger now
You're just another face that's lost in the crowd
I can't forget you, I can't forget you
You're just another stranger now

I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would

You're a stranger now [repeat]

You're just another stranger now
You're just another face that's lost in the crowd
I can't forget you, I can't forget you
You're just another stranger now

I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would disappear, disappear, disappear
I wish you would

Barricade lyrics - Courage My Love

I've seen cities burn,
I've seen tides turn right here in your eyes.
I can't imagine how, but we stand together now.
We'll make it through tonight.

We won't regret anything that's done or said.
We'll be here till there's no one left.
We're gonna be the last ones standing!

We held hands at the barricade,
as bricks shattered the windowpanes behind us.
This is our design
Our rebel yells became a voice;
This is our time, this is our choice, oh yeah!
This night is mine!
This is our night!
This is our night!

Here on these crowded streets
no order, no retreat, just fire in our hearts.
Where faith dies in front of me,
there's no place I'd rather be than here; in your arms!

We won't regret anything that's done or said.
We'll be here till there's no one left.
We're gonna be the last ones standing!

We held hands at the barricade,
as bricks shattered the windowpanes behind us.
This is our design
Our rebel yells became a voice;
This is our time, this is our choice, oh yeah!
This night is mine!
This is our night!
This is our night!

This night is mine!
(This night is mine!)
This night is mine!
(This night is mine)
This night is mine!
(This night is mine!)
This night is mine!
(This night is mine!)

(This night is...)
We held hands at the barricade,
as bricks shattered the windowpanes behind us.
This is our song
Our rebel yells became a voice;
This is our time, this is our choice, oh yeah!
This night is mine!
Tonight

Smoke And Mirrors lyrics - Courage My Love

I was fooled so easily
Smoke and mirrors got the best of me
But one thing is for sure
Nothing's ever what they seem
Fool's gold could never buy me anything
Can't rely on daydreams

But daydreams are all I have
And nothing can take that away from me, no
I fell asleep and I can't wake up
I just can't shake this feeling that I'm better off not knowing

Heaven knows I'll never see
How you do it; lying through your teeth
But one thing is for sure
You were never who you seemed
Fool's gold could never buy me anything
Can't survive on daydreams

But daydreams are all I have
And nothing can take that away from me, no
I fell asleep and I can't wake up
I just can't shake this feeling that I'm better off

I'm better off

But daydreams are all I have
And nothing can take that away from me, no
I fell asleep and I can't wake up (I can't wake up)
I just can't shake this feeling that I'm better off not knowing
I'm better off not knowing!

Bridges lyrics - Courage My Love

I wish you could see
The bridge that leads from you to me
But every time you try to cross
You always manage to get lost
I've been waiting patiently
For you to come and find me but
This is hide and seek in the dark
And now it seems you've left your mark on me.

This will never change
It's funny how we both grew up the same

You've had one too many second chances
And I can't wait around for you to make up your mind
Without a second glance you left me stranded
I climbed I slipped I fell but at least I tried
If you turn your back, I'll burn that bridge

My whole life is on repeat
Pursuing you as you retreat
I should have known you'd never stick around
When every bridge I ever built falls down
Can't keep waiting patiently
You'll never come and find me, well
This is hide and seek in the dark
And now it seems you've left your mark on me.

You will never change
It's funny how you'll always up the same
Yeah, you will never change
I won't look back you'll never see me again

You've had one too many second chances
And I can't wait around for you to make up your mind
Without a second glance you left me stranded
I climbed I slipped I fell but at least I tried
If you turn your back, I'll burn that bridge

You've had one too many second chances
And I can't wait around for you to make up your mind
Without a second glance you left me stranded
I climbed I slipped I fell but at least I tried
If you turn your back, I'll burn that bridge

The River lyrics - Courage My Love

I can feel you pulling down on me
Like the currents of the river
No I can't tell you where it may lead
I can only hope it carries me far

You told me not to fight,
With dreams so big, there's no use
You were almost right
My dreams are always bigger than you

I know you'll swear that you still have faith in me
You'll be surprised, when this river leads into the sea
River carry me [x3]

I throw every thought into the sea
Just to see how far they sink
Though I know they'll all come back to me
When this guilty tide holds them in

I can't believe I almost gave into the undertow
Every time I fall, I get back up cause now I know

I know you'll swear that you still have faith in me
You'll be surprised when this river leads into the sea
(carry me away)
River carry me

This promise I will keep
You won't forget me easily

River carry me [x4]

I know you'll swear that you still have faith in me
You'll be surprised where this river leads me
I know you'll swear that you still have faith in me
Your be surprised when this river leads into the sea
(carry me away)
River carry me
