THE FRAY_SCARS & STORIES
"Heartbeat"

We're on an open bed truck on the highway
The rain is coming down and we're on the run
Think I can feel the breath in your body
We gotta keep on running 'til we see the sun

Oh you got a fire and it's burning in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burning just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause if you love someone, you love them all the same
If you love someone, you love them all the same

Oh, I feel your heartbeat
And you're coming around, coming around, coming around
If you can love somebody, love them all the same
You gotta love somebody, love them all the same
Singing, oh, I feel your heartbeat

I'm trying to put it all back together.
I've got a story and I'm trying to tell it right.
I got the kerosene and a desire.
I'm trying to start a flame in the heart of the night

Oh you got a fire and it's burning in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burning just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause if you love someone, you love them all the same
If you love someone, you love them all the same

Oh, I feel your heartbeat
And you're coming around, coming around, coming around
If you can love somebody, love them all the same
You gotta love somebody, love them all the same
Singing, oh, I feel your heartbeat

Ooh, ooh
I know the memories are rushing into mind
I wanna kiss your scars tonight, baby
'Cause you gotta try
You gotta let me in
Let me in

Oh, I feel your heartbeat
And you're coming around, coming around, coming around
You gotta love somebody
You got, you gotta love somebody
You got, you got
Oh, I feel your heartbeat

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Heartbeat

"The Fighter"
The lover held her love
She begged him not to go
The fighter wrapped his gloves
The fighter said I know, I know, I know
Just this one last time
I swear you'll still be mine
But he can't promise much
He goes for one last touch

Maybe we were meant to be lonely
Maybe we were meant to be on our own
Loneliness has always been with me
But maybe we don't have to be all alone

The fighter goes inside
The doubt is creeping in
He swings with all his might
At all that might have been
And she's in love with him
But lovers don't always win
He never even saw the swing
She calls out his name

Maybe we were meant to be lonely
Maybe we were meant to be on our own
Loneliness has always been with me
But maybe we don't have to be all alone

What breaks your bones
Is not the load you're carrying
What breaks you down
Is all in how you carry

The lover held her love
She begged him not to go
She unwrapped his gloves
The lover said I know, I know, I know
Kissed his trembling lips
She touched fingertips
But somehow they both know
He's not coming home

Loneliness has always been with me
Maybe we were meant to be on our own
But I got to try or it will destroy me
Cause maybe we don't have to be all alone

"Turn Me On"

There's a sentence on my father
On my sister, on my brother
There's a terror in the corner
That will make your blood run cold

And it goes back to my blood line
When we tried to walk away
But I want you as my lover
You are where I want to stay

And I don't know what it is, what it is, what it is about you
What it is, what it is but ohhh
The way you movin'ohh
You turn me on, I won't touch you till we're burning
Ohhhh you turn me on

See you're rising and you're falling
I will try to look away
I'm frozen in the darkness but we're burning cabaret

And I don't know what it is, what it is, what it is about you
What it is, what it is but ohhh
The way you movin'ohhhh
You turn me on
I won't touch you till we're burning, ohhhh
You turn me on, come & turn me on

Turning me on,
You're turning me on, yeahhh

Ahhhh

The way you movin'
You turn me on
I won't touch you till we're burning, ohhhh
You turn me on, come & turn me on

I want to feel, I want to feel you love
I want to feeel ohhh I said I want to feel
The way you movin'
You turn me on
You turn me on

"Run For Your Life"
Seventeen years by her side
Broke the same bread
Wore the same clothes and we said
We're sisters with nothing between
If one of us fall
The other will soon be following

Both of you fell the same day
You don't know why
One of you never woke up
And you laid your body down on the floor
You're desperate to hear her footsteps again
But this house is on fire, we need to go

Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

Run for your life, my love
Run and you don't give up
It's all that you are
All that you want
I will be close behind
Run for your life

She had a fire inside
And that terrified you
You swore that you'd never lose your control
Baby, let yourself go
'cause part of you hides
And I know the hunger inside of you's strong
You can only hold back the river so long

Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

Run for your life, my love
Run and you don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
I’ll come back with you and take all that’s true
And leave all that's burned behind
Run for your life

Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone,

Run for your life, my love
Run and you don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
I’ll come back with you and take all that’s true
Leave all that's burned behind

So run for your life
Run for your life

"The Wind"
Oh, my God, I think I’m lost at sea
These silent waves are my company
And, I lost the line between the sky and sea
I’m wondering will the wind ever come for me.
Yeah.

‘Cause I don’t know, I don’t know where I am
Can you tell me, will I break or will I bend?
Will the wind ever come again?

I feel the sun coming up, rising from the east
I see the empire falling to her knees
I lost the line between her and me
My troubles are gone if the wind ever comes for me.
Yeah.

‘Cause I don’t know, I don’t know where I am
Can you tell me, will I break or will I bend?
Will the wind ever come again?

I dreamed I found the shoreline
You’re standing there
I dreamed I found you waiting.
You were waiting for me, waiting for me.

I try to kiss the emptiness,
I lost the line between the sky and sea
I feel the sun coming up, coming up, coming up, coming up

And I don’t know, I don’t know where I am
I will break or I will bend
Will the wind ever come again?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


"1961"
Two brothers in 1961 
On a road 90 miles too long 
Someone don't want us together but 
We just keep on walking cause we're one, we're one 

I got a voice and you got a reason 
For the glory we sing our broken song 
Take a side and I'll take the other one 
Two brothers under one nation 

Wanna feel your love right now 
Wanna see the night and feel the day 
Ever try to touch somebody 
90 miles away 

But it won't be the same again 
No, it won't be the same again
Yeah

Third brother, 1989 
Got me through it, opened up the line 
Stand tall, I'll follow you this time 
We're all just waiting on a sign 
Wanna feel your love right now 
Wanna see the night and feel the day 
Ever try to touch somebody 
90 miles away 

But it won't be the same again (you and I now, you and I) 
No, it won't be the same again (to the ending, to the end) 
I'll be with you until the end (you and I now, you and I) 
But it won't be the same (won't be the same) 

We're broken, we're battered 
We're torn up and we're shattered 
We turn back on each other 
The moment that it mattered 
The curtain is shaking 
It's bending and it's breaking 
And I'll be with you in the end (until the end) 

But it won't be the same again (you and I now, you and I) 
Can't go back to the way it was (to the ending, to the end) 
I'll be with you until the end (you and I now, you and I) 
But it won't be the same, won't be the same again.


"I Can Barely Say"
I said I told you everything I left something out
Underneath the stairwell.
That I'm under lock and key, but you can probably tell
A powder keg in a prison cell.

I wanna return but all you will do is turn to leave
If I can find my way home, will you take hold of me?
I've been gone so long
I can barely say
All I know is now I want to stay
Has it been too long since I went away?
Cause I'm trying to find the words but I can barely say

Well I used to be the sun
Waiting silently but they barely noticed me
But I've been talking in my sleep when anybody sees they turn and run from me

I want to return but all you will do is turn to leave
If I can find my way home will you take hold of me?
Cause I've been gone so long
I can barely say
All I know is now I want to stay
Has it been too long since I went away?
Cause I'm trying to find the words but I can barely say

I wanted to run
I wanted to love and be loved in return
But will I ever get back, do I know too much to return.

I've been gone so long, I can barely say
All I know is now I wanna stay
Has it been too long since I went away?
Cause I'm trying to find the words but I can barely say.


"Munich"
Take all you know
And you let it go
Inside the snow
Begins to fall

Step to the edge
You and I
And we fall below
Take a breath
Hold my hand
And now you're not alone

Girl you know
It terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go
You paralyze me
And I don't know why

Everything
Is black and white and grey
Walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Changes everything
When you're close to me

Back to back
Hand to hand
Face to face again
Lovers and enemies
Then we're back to friends

Something left
Holding us
Pulls me closer in
Take a breath
And the color will return again

Girl you know
It terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go
You paralyze me
And I don't know why

Everything
Is black and white and grey
Walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Changes everything
Changes everything

Walls are shaking
Changes everything
When you're close to me


"Here We Are"

Twenty years ago I found a window
Got away from here, far as I could go
Goodbye, hello to all the madness
7 billion ways to bury sadness

Going back and forth
But you're pulling me in
I'm going back and forth
Show me where to begin

Here we are, here we are
Will you lay your body down?
Here we are, here we are
Two lovers in the dark
Here we are, here we are
Will you lay your body, lay your body down?
Who's it gonna be, cause I'm divided
Who you gonna see, haven't decided
Goodbye, hello to all the pressure
7 billion hands upon my shoulders goin'

Here we are, here we are
Will you lay your body down?
Here we are, here we are
Two lovers in the dark
Here we are, here we are
Will you lay your body, lay your body down?

I'm going back and forth
But you're pulling me in
I'm going back and forth
Show me where to begin

Here we are, here we are
Will you lay your body down?
Here we are, here we are
Two lovers in the dark

Goodbye, hello to all the madness
7 billion hands upon my shoulders goin'

Here we are, here we are
Will you lay your body, lay your body down


"Rainy Zurich"

In midair and floating off to space,
I’m moving in,
Your hair is falling all around my face,
Like a parachute,
I’m breathing in,
You’re breathing out the same,
We give and take,
And let the water fall on the flame,
It’s not burning out

I’ll keep you warm,
Dancing in a downpour,
And I will hold your body slowly turning,
I’ll keep you warm,
Dancing in a downpour,
Breathe it in,
We’ll take it off and soak our skin

She’s in a town that holds a lonely road,
And the night is falling,
There’s a road that follows to a home,
And the sky is heavy,
In the home she’s in a lonely room,
With music playing,
Can she hear my heart coming through,
On the door between

I’ll keep you warm,
Dancing in a downpour,
And I will hold your body slowly turning,
I’ll keep you warm,
Dancing in a downpour,
Breathe it in,
We’ll take it off and soak

Maybe I’ll find you,
Maybe I won’t,
Baby I’ll try to,
Even if I don’t,
You are what I never knew I needed,
What I never knew I needed,
What I never knew I needed,
Almost there

I’ll keep you warm,
Dancing in a downpour,
And I will hold your body slowly turning,
I’ll keep you warm,
Dancing in a downpour,
Breathe it in,
We’ll take it off and soak our skin

"48 To Go"

From Denver to California,
By way of Mexico,
We're lost and we're finding each other,
And we may never see the west coast,
We may never see the west coast

We're taking it slow,
But for now we're 2 down and 48 to go

Missed an exit in Albuquerque,
We don't seem to mind at all,
We pull over,
The sun is burning,
And we lay down to feel the rain fall

We're taking it slow,
But for now we're 2 down and 48 to go

Desert winds blow your hair back,
Window down,
Town after town,
Where will be in half a century,
2 down and 48 to go

The sun rises in Bernardino,
Some time after 6 am,
We could take 27 up old canyon road,
Sometimes you win before you run,
Sometimes you win before,
We got 48, 48 to go
48 to go,
48, 48

Come on baby,
Come on darling,
48
 to go


"Be Still"

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know

When darkness comes upon you
And covers you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name

If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know

And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still

If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am


"Streets Of Philadelphia"

 (originally by Bruce Springsteen)

I was bruised and battered
And I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself

See my reflection in a window
And I don't know my own face
Oh brother, please don't leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia...

I walk this avenue
'til my legs feel like stone
I hear the voices of friends vanished and gone

At night I can hear the blood
Runnin' through my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia...
Philadelphia...

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I, my friend
These clothes, they don't fit me anymore
I've walked a thousand miles and I wanna slip this skin

Night has fallen
And I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away

So receive me brother
With your faithful kiss
Or we will leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia...
Philadelphia...
