Letters To God, Part II lyrics - angels and airwaves

All the phones have rung and rung
They are off the hook, all but one
And all the mail stacked up inside
Up from the floor, a mile high

And like one would, like a child
I'm asking..
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in?

And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply

Climbing trees and paper planes
Life as a kid, we're all the same
Tears of joy, and sullen hearts
Sticks and stones and broken arms

And like one would, like a child
I'm asking..
Like I could knock on your door
Will you let me in?

And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose tonight
It seems like the madness of choice in the life
Has made it all clear if we run or we hide

And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die
I found out the truth is it's all a big lie
I find that the words are hard to describe
I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply
I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I
Or anyone else that you chose tonight
It seems like the madness of choice in the life
Has made it all clear if we run or we hide

Some Origins Of Fire lyrics - angels and airwaves

Cars crash through the streets
The west end waves break city heats
The east coast storms fill in the sky
Winter weekends
Cold, unbearable, life's so terrible..
Shots ring out in blind stellar night time
Town lights come alive like a land mine
Eyes wide up in five second intervals
Unpredictable, life's a miracle

We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So here's my heart

I can't close my eyes
The east end barrels, it's summer time
The west coast lives got butterflies
So literal..
Cold, unbearable, life's so terrible
Kids live fearlessly and curious lives
Grow up to be so serious
Lost time, broken dreams
So usual..
Unpredictable, life's a miracle

We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
We're hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So here's my heart

It's only the cycle
It's deafening though
This age old recital is king of all sounds
There is no release, free, we are silently numb
A sole, lonely wave with the weight that's yet to come

Call To Arms lyrics - angels and airwaves

There's a little black dark scar tire divide
This is it, can you hear me?
Have you ever felt a sad heart buried alive?
You can do almost anything
There's a little red bridge with the view of the sun
With a lake, I recommend such a setting sight
And the thousands of stars, come out thousands of times
We can go, only if you believe.
Only if you believe.

Do you feel like you've lost everything you can lose?
This is it, can you hear me?
When you cry do your tears ever chill up the room?
Calling out in a moment of need.
Do you ever lay awake with a look in the eye?
Asking God if a wish is too big to deny
I will offer a line, and it's ready for use.
Let me know are you ready for me?

I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears.
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side...
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time.

When the storm brings rain, snow fate of all kinds
You can feel almost anything.
When the day seems to melt, fall flat into night,
You can feel almost anything.
When you can't go on, you got to get up and try.
This is it, can you feel me?
When the bombs come down, you will make it alive,
But only if you want to believe.

I'd like to say, that you're my only fear.
And when I dream, it slowly disappears.
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side...
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time.

I'd like to say, that you're my only fear.
And when I dream, it slowly disappears.
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side...
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time.

Out of time
(You're my only)
When I dream
(You're my only)
When I dream
I feel your heart
When I dream
I'm out of time
(I feel your heart)
When I dream
I'm out of time
(I feel your heart)

I feel your heart
I feel your heart
I feel your heart

I'd like to say that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart beat in and out of time

Everything's Magic lyrics - angels and airwaves

And do you ever feel like you're alone?
And do you ever wish you'd be unknown?
I can say that I have..
I can say that I have..
And do you ever feel things here aren't right?
And do you ever feel the time slip by?
And I can say that I have..
And I can say that I have..

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

And do you ever lay awake at night?
And do you ever tell yourself don't try?
Don't try to let yourself down
Don't try to let yourself down
And do you ever see yourself in love?
And do you ever take a chance, my love?
Because you know that I will..
Because you know that I will..

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

Everything, everything's magic

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

Breathe lyrics - angels and airwaves

A blue-black shade of love.
Sent from above.
My hands are tied, two worlds alone,
And this I know.
Your breath's like wine,
And just like clouds, my skin crawls.
It's so divine, the sky it glows with fields of light.

Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me.
I love you.
And honesty, I love you.
You make me feel alive,
and I'll love you
Until the end of time.

My hands shake clasped with fear, as you come near
To say goodnight, just like a dove.
A peaceful sign.
To help us by, as you come in,
Let this begin.
Stars fall like dust, our lips will touch,
We speak too much.

Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me.
I love you.
And honesty, I love you.
You make me feel alive,
and I'll love you
Until the end of time.

Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me.
I love you.
And honesty, I love you.
You make me feel alive,
and I'll love you
Until the end of time.

I've got a lot to say, if you will let me
It's always hard, when you're around me
But here right now, there's interest in your eyes
So hear me out, and hear this the first time

That I... love you (come and lay with me)
That I... love you (and honesty)
That I... love you (you make me feel alive)
That I... love you
Till the end of time

Love Like Rockets lyrics - angels and airwaves

(Due to the marvels of scientific advance,
my voice is coming to you from a satellite, circling in outer space.
Through this unique means I will convey to you and all of mankind
America's wish for Peace on Earth.)

I held my head as I left the Ground
The belts grew tight as the Blast grew loud
A loving wish whispered in my ear
Please leave with grace, all the best my dear
Yeah, it's like
I held your hand as I pulled you in
Your lips sealed tight ready to begin
I kissed you first then you kissed my ear
If I ask you once will you ask me every year?

Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)

The sun is set in the night time sky
The stars they cast a glow upon my eyes
The earth itself a burning ball of light
Yeah, it's like
When our first love was ignited late that night

Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)

The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound

Sirens lyrics - angels and airwaves

There's a weakness in the window
Place my footprints in the dark room
There's lonely voices like a scarecrow
In the hallway like a lost ghost
In the bedroom I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bed-frame lies a girl
Her reflection in the mirror

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I've been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me

It's a dark night on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze as the sun rose
Then the phone rang like a gunshot
Like a siren on the beach rock
There's a message at the river
A certain package here to the deliver
When the day breaks after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I've been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)

I can hear you breathe,
I'm feeling the shake
And the sound of my heartbeat
Can't let go...
Do you know
I'm feeling the pain
Of my first love?
I won't let it go...
Can't let go

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I want to taste you as you breathe (from time to time)

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)

Secret Crowds lyrics - angels and airwaves

(If I had my own world)
(I'd build you an empire)

If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs,
Birds, planes, cleanest cars

If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with its families,
Friends or its enemies

Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have it within you
Inventing the first clean and usable,
God's greatest miracle

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

True Love lyrics - angels and airwaves

(She's scared...She's a star...Burning across the night time sky)

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh [x9]

The snow has come down on top of everything
The town is alive and well without you -(She's scared)
The lights they peer out of the leafless trees
And you wont be alone, I am beside you

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh [x4]

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you

Tears, spilling out, across a dead end street
Your house, is a lonely box that holds you
The star, bright and loud, is in dire need
Of the fear, it is an empty fear inside you

Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh [x4]

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you

The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you

The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you

(True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

(She's a star)

Lifeline lyrics - angels and airwaves

With an urgent, careful stare,
And some panic in those eyes.
If I see you lying there,
Hoping this was the last time

If you hear a distant sound,
And some footsteps by your side.
When the world comes crashing down.
I will find you if you hide.

If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.
If you want it, say it now.
If you want it, say it loud.

We all make mistakes.
Here's your Lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your Lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.

There’s a field near the dream.
I watched it grow with whitest light.
I watched us all reach out and lean.
For the strength to touch the sky.

If you hear a distant sound.
And some footsteps by your side.
If you feel like coming round.
I will take you for a ride.

If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.
If you want it, say it now.
If you want it, say it loud.

We all make mistakes.
Here's your Lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your Lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.

Ooooh....

If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.
If you want it, I want to.

Rite Of Spring lyrics - angels and airwaves

I was locked all day in the summer heat,
In a small brown house in Suburban Street,
With a skateboard and my shit guitar,
I'd dream all day that they would get me far,
My dad would ask me about my grades,
The asshole sports that I never played.
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date,
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late.
It was near when I turned sixteen,
Got kicked out of school, and so it seemed
that things were closing in and ready to blow,
My dad moved out about that year or so,
It took an hour to start a punk rock band
To offset my fucked up family land
And as I held my mom would start to cry
I swore ourselves a better life

If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn’t change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank god
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine

The summers gone, the years have passed,
My friends have changed, a few did last,
The smallest dreams got pushed aside,
The largest ones that changed my life,
And all I wish for has come to pass
From Rock N Roll, to love and cash
It’s all success if it’s what you need
Do what you like and do it honestly

If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn’t change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank god
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine

Hey yo oh oh oh
Hey yo oh oh
Hey yo oh oh oh
Hey yo oh oh
Hey yo oh oh oh
Hey yo oh oh
Hey yo oh oh oh
Hey yo oh oh

If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn’t change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank god
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine

Heaven lyrics - angels and airwaves

I will run the streets and hostile lands
I will touch the rain with all I have
I will breathe the air, to scream it loud
My feet will never touch the ground.
Because the days they feel, like ancient clocks
Like when kids grow up, and learn to walk.
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired

With lights and sounds,
Oh God, this is such a mess,
And it's like our world, but we're the last ones left
And the hair, it stands on the back of our necks
And I swear, it shows
Heaven must be just like this.

Do you see the hills beneath the clouds?
And the stars as trails, to lead you out?
Can you sense the pain, that's everywhere?
And if you try, you'll never care
And the love you had when you were young
Is right outside for all to come
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired

With lights and sounds,
Oh God, this is such a mess,
And it's like our world, but we're the last ones left
And the hair, it stands on the back of our necks
And I swear, it shows
Heaven must be just like this.

If you see a light break through the clouds
And fire up like distant towers
Where the world will begin, exactly how it ends
When you call for help when you are lost
Forever more, at whatever cost,
And the world will begin, exactly how it ends,

Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?

Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, now yeah, yea oh, yeah oh, yeah oh

Here I am.
