10,000 people died today,
but none of them I knew.
10,000 bombs later,
the sky's no longer blue.

how long until he realizes
too many have died?
how long until the he notices
there is no one by his side.

there is no one by his side...
they've all gone to look for america.

the earth is burning down.
oh, the earth is burning down.
drop your guns, forget your war,
open up a brand new door;
there is love..
all we need is love.

I'm frightened for our children,
they'll never find their way.
blinded in these ashes,
not knowing of the day.

if you're not part of the solution,
you're part of the problem.
beautiful things are falling,
but no, it's not autumn.

no, it's not autumn.
we've all gone to look for america.

the earth is burning down.
oh, the earth is burning down.
drop your guns, forget your war,
open up a brand new door;
there is love..
all we need is love.

we all cried out with no reply.
it was a cry, hard to deny.
but they did, they did deny.
oh yes, they did deny.

oh, how does it feel
to be on your own?
no map, no friend
to guide to home?

no friend to guide you home;
he's gone to look for america.

drop your guns, forget your war,
open up a brand new door;
there is love..
all we need is love.

Déchirement les rideaux,
tomber autour de vos chevilles.
Ouvrez la porte et le laisser entrer,
tomber autour de vos chevilles.
Verser le thé et déposer le sucre,
laisser tomber autour de vos chevilles.
Permettez-moi de gagner, et permettez-moi de perdre,
Je vais tomber autour de vos chevilles.


*ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Tearing the curtains
fall around your ankles.
Open the door and let him in to
fall around your ankles.
Pour the tea and drop sugar,
let it fall around your ankles.
Let me win, let me lose,
I will fall around your ankles.

Today I thought you'd be next to the magazine stand,
right outside like you usually are.
But, when I got there,  you weren't.

At first I thought you were avoiding me,
and then I tried to put that out,
because you didn't know me and I didn't you.

So, I guess one day is not anything to go by.

But life isn't about waiting for the boy next to the magazine stand,
or sending stupid emails to strangers,
or second guessing your foolish thoughts.

I think life is about the unpredictable,
because that's just what life is.
Unpredictable.

You're unpredictable,
& now I'm unpredictable,
& that's life.

Partir, c'est dur.
Mais pas quand c'est facile.
Regarder est facile,
mais pas quand c'est dur.

Des morceaux de la pomme sont toujours là.
Sur la table, il est encore plus claire.

S'il vous plaît ne me laissez pas tomber.



*ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Leaving is hard.
But not when it's easy.
Watching is easy,
but not when it's hard.

Pieces of the apple are still here.
On the table makes it even clearer.

Please don't let me fall.

[v;1]
Spiraling towards the ground again
Worst place that I’ve ever been
Tearing through the floor to start
The battle;  the worst part.

But here he comes,
The solution to my problem.
And here he stands,
The ke$ha to my bass drum.

[chorus;]
And brett,
A five letter word may seem so simple.
But brett,
You’re my savior when I’m feeling down,
You turn my whole world upside down,
Oh brett,
Never leave my side. : )

[repeat chorus]

[v;2]
He always knows just what to say,
Always just to make my day.
And when my tears start to fall,
He finds a way to change it all.

And here he comes,
My superhero.
And here he stands,
The pick to my fro. :P

[repeat chorus x2]

Oh, brett,
Never leave my side. : )

I seem to forget how fragile are the strong.
And I'm sorry I can't talk to you in person,
your face just makes my words melt away...
I hope that explains why you never understand me.

But I want you to know why I left...

I'm giving up love, my dear.

But if one day you want to shoot me a letter,
that would be perfectly okay.
But if you now and forever hate me,
that's okay too.
Because that's what love's about,
& that's why I'm giving it up.

But I hope I see you around again.

Some people matter,
Some people don’t.
Some things make you cry,
Some things make you hope.

In that very second,
You didn’t notice the memory,
That it would make when you were gone,
Or what you’d dream about & see.

But someone said the light
Would shine through,
They said it real slow
Hoping it would effect you.

But you said,
the end would never come.
You said,
that summer would last forever,

and it sure seemed,
like it did.
and it sure seemed,
like you just hid,

behind those words.

yes, behind those words.

One day we’ll stop waiting for change.
One day we’ll see the error of ours ways.
One day we’ll lose our love of power.
One day it will not rain, but shower.
One day animals will mean as much as us.
One day we’ll all walk instead of taking a bus.
One day the business man will smell a rose.
One day the poet will write prose.
One day blood will make us drop to our knees.
One day we’ll swim in all the seas.
One day the president will find the light.
One day we’ll hold hands & not just fight.
One day our whole earth will be green.
One day we’ll all find our perfect love scene.
One day we’ll all go natural and free.
One day we’ll have peace without having to plea.
  One day the world will be one.

well in a place like this you've gotta be,
the bigger person,
the better me.
the one who stays here till the end,
the one that is willing to bend.

and god I know just where we are,
god this is the hardest part.
the part that no one else sees,
the part where we all drop to our knees.

but I need to know now...

[chorus;]
where's the love?
where's the love?
it doesn't just disappear.
no... so I'll ask you;
where's the love?
where's the love?
16 years don't disappear.
where's the love? it isn't here.

[v;2;]
well in a place like this you gotta be,
on your toes,
and forgiving.
I guess I have to walk you through,
all the steps to a better you.

and god you don't know where we are,
the first step the hardest part.
the part you obviously didn't see,
the most important part to him and me.

so I need to know now...

[repeat chorus]

oh I don't know anymore.
it's just not visible anymore.
I just can't feel it anymore.

[repeat chorus]

bring your chair over here
& place it next to mine.
don't let me catch you
second guessing your mind.
fill in my fingers with yours.

I try to read but I keep losing my place.
I've got a good mind to tell you
I love you, but that's not the case.
let me explore your world.

chorus;
we're falling, falling faster
than gravity can control us.
faster than the wind can
carry us. faster than the city bus,
for sure. I've found a cure.
tell me when you're ready, for this..
tell me when you're ready, for bliss.
---

call me up & say hello.
tell me where you're willing to go.
are you afraid ?

laugh; but only if you want to.
cry; I'm hoping you'll never have to.
we'll never be afraid.

[repeat chorus)

since when did fear conquer love ?
I don't know how to tell you.
since when did fear conquer love ?
I'm deciding on what to do.
because I love you...

[repeat chorus)
