When we were walking late that night,
do you remember? We were hand-in-hand,
and we got talking for a while.
Do you remember? You said you could take me to the promised land,

and then I looked you in the eyes,
and I held you in my arms. (Yeah I held you in my arms so tight)
I said I promise you that until the day I die
I'll never let you come to harm! (No I'll never let you come to harm)

[Bridge]
Darling, that night it felt so perfect.
Do you remember? like our love could never end.
Like all those years of pain were finally worth it.
But next time I saw you, you told me, let's just be friends.

- -
Those four words never hurt so much!
I'm still longing for your touch.
- -

[Chorus]
I know you told me...
that you don't want me. (No you don't want me)
So why do you hold me...
when I see you in my dreams?

(When I see you in my dreams)
you've got me feeling like I'll never be alone.
Like you'll always be right here with me.
I'll always have you by my side.

But in the morning light when I wake up on my own
I realise that things aren't what they seem.
Why do we lead these double lives? (Ohh-oh)

I know you told me... (Ohh-ohh-ohh)
that you don't want me. (No you don't want me, no no no)
So why do you hold me in your arms so tight
when I see you in my dreams?

- -
[Coda]
(When I see you...)
it kills me to think how...
you don't remember.
(You don't remember.)

Tell me where do I go now?
I don't remember how it feels to be alive.
I don't remember.

When I see your saddened eyes
it hurts me deep inside, but I try to hide it.
I think you want me to.
Perhaps it hurts you too..

But I don't think you know
just how far I would go to see you smiling.
I'd burn the world for you
if you asked me to.

-

I know that for you life's been hard.
You’re pushing through,
but you need a helping hand sometimes.

When I know you're down I want to
turn it around
and lift those weights right off your mind, and

- -

so, when you fall, I will catch you.
You won't come to harm
when you're in my arms,

and when you call, I will come to you.
See you through the storm,
keep you safe and warm.

- -

I've always tried to show you
that you're so much better than you think you are,
that he's no good for you.
But you don't want me to.

I know that I can keep you happy,
treat you better than he ever could.
You're everything to me.
If you could only see.

-

You've been the truest friend
but how could I pretend
that I don't want any more than that?

So I offered you my heart
But it tore me apart
when you just smiled at me and handed it back, and

- -

so, as my light fades to darkness.
You don't see me.
You don't see me,

and, as my voice fades to silence.
You don't hear me...

You don't hear me anymore

The ocean, made of purest blue,
hides perils deep within.
The scorching day of golden sun
will quickly burn your skin.

The desert dune, so soft and smooth,
Is merciless and cruel.
But the rugged cliff, though coarse and cracked,
will not make you his fool.

Sometimes he'll break and crumble
but he only has one face.
He's proud to be imperfect,
and you'll always know your place.

Though tall and strong, he's humble
and he listens to your voice.
If you call out he'll call right back.
When you sing, he'll rejoice.

He'll offer you a foothold
or a place to stop and rest
and, though sometimes he'll slip and fall,
he'll always do his best

to give you shelter from the cold
or hold back raging tides.
His caverns, seeming dark at first,
bear sanctuary inside.

In burning heat he'll give you solace
from the scorching sands.
When darkness falls, you'll know he's there
when you reach out your hand.

He'll hold you high above the world
and show you off to all.
He'll make you feel mighty
anytime you're feeling small.

Climb high with him and you'll be sure
the view was worth the risk.
All that he asks is for respect.
But you know all of this.

How then, is it so easy
for you to compromise
on what can satisfy your soul,
yet not so for your eyes?

Perhaps you can help me see
how there's a reason why
you'd give up so much just to have
a 'better looking' guy.

We're the ones who walk these lands in darkness.
We don't want the sun to rise.
The shadows shield us from your madness
and hide the sorrow in our eyes.
-
As your fires burn around us
and you reduce the world to ash,
your mistruths and lies surround us,
and questions we don't dare to ask.

- -
So we dance in the lasers
hand in hand. We're the ravers.
Hoping love's gonna save us.
So we dance in the lasers.

We're the lost generation
with no borders or nations.
In synthetic elation,
we're the monster's creation.
- -

You know our world lay in ruins
yet still you choose to carry on
with disregard for what you're doing.
You won't stop 'til it's all gone.
-
Why should we clear up your disasters
when you can't even tell us how.
The time will come when we're the masters
so don't you dare to judge us now

- -
as we dance in the lasers
hand in hand. We're the ravers.
We will not be your saviours.
So we dance in the lasers.

We're the lost generation
with no borders or nations.
In synthetic elation,
we're the monster's creation.
- -

So we dance
and we dance
and we dance
hand in hand

and we dance
and we dance
and we dance
hand in hand.

I know we talked about this,
and we agreed to just be friends,
and I don't mean to make things hard for you
by bringing it up again

but every waking minute
I still can't get you off my mind,
and no matter where I'm sleeping
I dream of you every time,

and I've been thinking about the good times,
all the smiles and laughs we've shared.
The thought of ever losing that
makes me feel so scared.

Lately you seem distant
but I hope that doesn''t last.
I don't want to ever think of you
as just somebody from my past.

- -
[Bridge]
Because I know that you're worth fighting for.
Don't wanna disrespect you,
you turned me down once before.
But I know that you're worth figh-ting for.
You're everything I need and more.

- -
[Chorus]
So give me a chance, give me a chance.
Take a gamble on me.
I won't let you down.
I won't let you down.

Take a look at you and him now,
just think about it you'll see
he don't respect you the way he should
or love you the way I could. (Oh no)

Because I know that you're worth fighting for.
You're everything I need....

I know that you're worth fighting for!

- -
Do you remember that day at the festival
when you first heard your song?
It was filled with raw emotion.
My feelings were so strong (and nothing's changed).

You said that you were lost for words,
that it was beautiful.
But it's nothing when compared to the girl
that it was written for.

(Ooohh) the deserts of Morocco,
the Alpine mountain dew,
the light that floods the Scottish hills
as the sun rises anew

are all but left forgotten
whenever I'm feeling blue
because the only thing I need
is just to turn and look at you

- -
[Bridge]
and so I know that you're worth fighting for.
Don't wanna disrespect you,
you turned me down once before.
But I know that you're worth fighting for.
You're everything I want and more.

- -
[Chorus]
So give me a chance, give me a chance.
Take a gamble on me.
I won't let you down.
I won't let you down.

I sit across from you now,
I'm right where I wanna be.
You make me feel like no-one else could.
There's nobody in this world like you

and so I know that you're worth fighting for.
You're everything I want!
You're everything I need!

I know that you're worth fighting for (Ohh-oh-ohh)

- -
[Coda (Softly)]
He's not the one for you.
Don't waste your time with him.
I swear my love for you will never fade away...
(Never fade away)

Sometimes I feel like I just have to go away.
Only love songs on the radio.
Every verse, every bar, every beat
represents another teardrop to me.

But just when I'm about to give up hope
I open up a little message that you wrote.
Only you know how to melt my heart.
Only you can lift me up.

- -

Here come the tears again.
They're tears of joy my friend.
You keep me holding on.
Your kindness keeps me strong.

- -

Sometimes I feel like I just have to hide away.
Lock the doors and keep my pain inside.
Can't face the world, can't make myself take part.
So much to do, but I don't know where to start.

But as I close my eyes I see your precious smile
and I allow myself to dream, just for a while.
Only you can make me feel like this.
Only you can be the one.

- -

Here come the tears again.
Once more they're tears of pain.
You complete my world.
(But you don't want me girl)

I look outside right now.
There's no snow falling.
Everybody's leaving town.
They tell me "Home's calling."

So i guess I'll do the same.
It won't take too long.
Start the car, I'm on my way.
But something feels so wrong.

They all tell me it's the best time of the year,
but nowhere feels like home without you here.



I sit and watch them all
unwrap their gifts and trinkets.
As I watch the paper fall,
I can't help but think that

I could be somewhere else,
somewhere I want to be,
with the sound of choirs and bells
and you laughing with me.

"Come on now, smile!" they say. "Get with the Christmas cheer.".
But it doesn't feel like home without you here.



I try to please them, hiding
behind my fake smile.
But each time I let my mind
wander for a while,

it runs straight back to you.
The only thing I want
is to wake up next to you
and hold you in my arms,

and so I raise my hand to wipe away a tear.
It doesn't feel like home without you here.


Nowhere feels like home without you here.
