Jumpi ng up and down the floor
my head i s an ani mal
and once there was an ani mal
i t had a son that mowed the lawn
the son was an ok guy
they had a pet dragonfly
the dragonfly, i t ran away
But i t came Back wi th a story to say
her di rty paws and furry coat
she ran down the forest slope
the forest of talki ng trees
they used to si ng aBout the Bi rds and the Bees
the Bees had declared a war
the sky wasn t Bi g enough for them all
the Bi rds, they got help from Below
from di rty paws and the creatures of snow
and for a whi le thi ngs were cold
they were scared down i n thei r holes
the forest that once was green
was coloured Black By those ki lli ng machi nes
But she and her furry fri ends
took down the queen Bee and her men
and that s how the story goes
the story of the Beast wi th those four di rty paws
taki ng over thi s town, they should worry
But these proBlem asi de, i thi nk i taught you well
that we won t run, we won t run, we won t run
and i n the wi nter ni ght sky shi ps are sai li ng
looki ng down on these Bri ght Blue ci ty li ghts
and they won t wai t, they won t wai t, they won t wai t
we re here to stay, we re here to stay, we re here to stay
howli ng ghosts they reappear
i n mountai ns that are stacked wi th fear
But you re a ki ng and i m a li onheart
a li onheart
hi s crown li t up the way as we moved slowly
past the wonderi ng eyes of the ones that were left Behi nd
though far away, though far away, though far away
we re sti ll the same, we re sti ll the same, we re sti ll the same
howli ng ghosts they reappear
i n mountai ns that are stacked wi th fear
But you re a ki ng and i m a li onheart
and i n the sea that s pai nted Black
creatures lurk Below the deck
But you re a ki ng and i m a li onheart
and as the world comes to an end
i ll Be here to hold your hand
Because you re my ki ng and i m your li onheart
a li onheart
i heard them calling in the distance
so i packed my things and ran
far away from all the trouBle
i had caused with my two hands
alone we traveled
armed with nothing But a shadow
we fled far away
hold your horses now
we sleep until the sun goes down
through the woods we ran
deep into the mountain sound
some had scars and some had scratches
it made me wonder aBout their past
and as i looked around i Began to notice
that we were nothing like the rest
the li ghts go out, i am all alone
all the trees outsi de are Buri ed i n the snow
i spend my ni ght danci ng wi th my own shadow
and i t holds me and i t never lets me go
i move slow and steady
But i feel li ke a waterfall
i move slow and steady
past the ones that i used to know
my dear old fri end, take me for a spi n
two wolves i n the dark runni ng i n the wi nd
i m letti ng go But i ve never felt Better
passi ng By all the monsters i n my head
and i move slow and steady
But i feel li ke a waterfall
i move slow and steady
past the ones that i used to know
and i m never ready
cause i know, i know, i know
that ti me won t let me
show what i want to show
we came here on his Back and we caught your eye
the salty ocean wind made the seagulls cry
the rocking of his house had me holding on
But i knew that i was safe from there on out
and the waves that hit his face marked the past
and the furrows on his skin, oh how time goes fast
and we are far from home But were so happy
far from home, all alone, But were so happy
after every sunny day, came a stormy night
thats when finner would say, keep your heads held high
and we are far from home But were so happy
far from home, all alone, But were so happy
i don t li ke walki ng around thi s old and empty house
so hold my hand i ll walk wi th you my dear
the stai rs creak as you sleep i t s keepi ng me awake
i t s the house telli ng you to close your eyes
and some days i can t even dress myself
i t s ki lli ng me to see you thi s way
Because though the truth may vary
thi s shi p wi ll carry our Bodi es safe to shore
there s an old voi ce i n my head that s holdi ng me Back
well tell her that i mi ss our li ttle talks
soon i t wi ll Be over and Buri ed wi th our past
we used to play outsi de when we were young and full of li fe
and full of love
some days i don t know i f i am wrong or ri ght
your mi nd i s playi ng tri cks on you my dear
Because though the truth may vary
thi s shi p wi ll carry our Bodi es safe to shore
don t li sten to a word i say
the screams all sound the same
though the truth may vary
thi s shi p wi ll carry our Bodi es safe to shore
you re gone, gone, gone away
i watched you di sappear
all that s left i s a ghost of you
now we re torn, torn, torn apart
there s nothi ng we can do
Just let me go we ll meet agai n soon
no wai t, wai t, wai t for me
please hang around
i ll see you when i fall asleep
slow, slow me down
her Blood on my Bones
let go, lay to rest
we fall, we fall, we fall
we fall to the ground
sleep, sleep all ni ght
whi le the young, they wai t alone
get up, shake the rust
we crawl, we crawl, we crawl
we crawl on the ground
alone, i fi ght these ani mals
alone, unti l i get home
a wolf, wolf and i
we share the same cold meal
i float on, float on down
we ri de, we ri de, we ri de
we ri de i t all out
alone, i fi ght these ani mals
alone, unti l i get home
comi ng Back, i m comi ng Back
comi ng Back, i m comi ng Back
she follows me i nto the woods
takes me home
the sea sai d goodBye to the shore so the sun wouldn t noti ce
the seaweed that wrapped i t s arms around you
the carpet on my cheek feels li ke a forest
and i run though the tall trees wi th your hand chasi ng me
the Books that i keep By my Bed are full of your stori es
that i drew up from a li ttle dream of mi ne, a li ttle ni ghtmare of yours
to Be asked to take thi s plunge to forgi ve and forget
and Be the Better man
to Be a Better man, to Be a Better man
so love me mother and love me father and love my si ster as well
the cat s si lhouette - as Bi g as a monster
i n thi s concrete Jungle wi th streetli ghts hangi ng thei r heads
so make all your last demands for i wi ll forsake you
and i ll meet your eyes for the very fi rst ti me for the very last
so love me mother and love me father and love my si ster as well
so love me mother and love me father and love my Brother as well
i met a man today and he smi led Back at me
now there are thoughts li ke these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet
i m looki ng for a place to start and everythi ng feels so di fferent now
Just graB a hold of my hand i wi ll lead you through thi s wonderland
water up to my knees But sharks are swi mmi ng i n the sea
Just follow my yellow li ght and i gnore all those Bi g warni ng si gns
somewhere deep i n the dark a howli ng Beast hears us talk
i dare you to close your eyes and see all the colours i n di sgui se
runni ng i nto the ni ght the earth i s shaki ng and i see a li ght
the li ght i s Bli ndi ng my eyes as the soft walls eat us ali ve
oh, i mi ss the comfort of thi s house
where we are, where we are
where we are, where we are
the floor under our feet whi spers out
come on i n, come on i n, where i t all Begi ns
can you chase the fi re away
we cli mBed up to the top i n worn out shoes
she ran down, she ran down
she ran down to the house
a foX that gai ns our trust
But then Breaks i t as he walks away from us
away from us
can you chase the fi re away
i n the fall we sleep all day
i n the fall we sleep all day
i n the fall we sleep all day
i n the fall we sleep all day
where we are
fi shi ng for a fri end
can t rememBer when
i t was dark, or the sun comi ng up
far across the ocean alone
whi le numB Bears at home
sai d i could never get there
never get there
Breaki ng li ttle twi gs wi th my feet
and underneath i s a road that s so steep
far across the ocean alone
whi le numB Bears at home
sai d i could never get there
But i m already there
