Our Time lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


Long road,
Of premature decisions leaving me
Cold, with only good intentions
But it's you who takes my pain away
You know it's you who keeps me wide awake
You know it's you...it's you

This is our time to run away
It's our time we don't have to stay here
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you
This is our time, to forget the past
It's our time we can make it last
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you

Long day,
Stopping me from saying what I want to say
I wish I could do better
But it's you who knows just what I mean
You know it's you who sees what can't be seen
You know it's you...it's you

This is our time to run away
It's our time we don't have to stay here
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you
This is our time, to forget the past
It's our time we can make it last
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you

This is the day we give our own lives away
And we won't do what they say anymore
We won't walk but we'll run
Until all freedom we've won
And we will know what this fight was for

This is our time to run away
It's our time we don't have to stay here
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you
This is our time, to forget the past
It's our time we can make it last
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you

Our time to run away
It's our time we don't have to stay here
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you
Our time, to forget the past
It's our time we can make it last
'Cause all the things that I never knew
That I wanted, are here with you

Let Me In lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

I’m staring at my window
I’m feeling uninspired
I’m looking hard for hope, and I fell just like a record
That spun until it tire,
And it eventually just broke
But I know it will get better…
I know we’ll find a place where we can be together

Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Cuz I know, I know
This life has room for two
Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh
Let me into you…
The best part of waking up is
Knowing that you’re thinking about me
And my phone it rest upon my pillow
Waiting for you to reach right on and touch me with your smile
Smile…smile…
Even though we’re miles and miles and miles apart…
I know you make me better

Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Cuz I know, I know
This life has room for two
Uh-oh-uh-ohoh
Let me into you…
I’m a man who doesn’t need
Anyone to make me whole
But your eyes are just like headlights into my soul
They see what I can’t see and I don’t see anything at all
But you!

Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh
Let me into you…
Cuz I know, yes I know
This life has room for two
Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh
Let me into you…
Uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Uh-oh (oh I know)-uh-oh
Let me into you…
Uh-oh-uh-oh
Let me into you...
Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh
Let me into you.

Animal lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends,
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid you're never satisfied
Here we go again
We're sick like animals, We play pretend
You're just a cannibal,
And I'm afraid I wont get out alive
No, I won't sleep tonight

Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight...

Here we go again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's gettin' heavier
I wanna run and hide, I wanna run and hide
I do it every time, You're killin' me now!
And I won't be denied by you
The animal inside of you.

Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight...

Hush, hush The world is quiet
Hush, hush We both can't fight it
It's us that made this mess,
Why can't you understand?
Whoa, I won't sleep tonight!
I won't sleep tonight!

Here we go again...

Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight.
Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin'?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight...
Oh, oh I want some more
Oh, oh What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight...

Never Too Late lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Writing here
Cause there's nothing left here
For me to do
But please know that
I'm trying to make up for my mistakes
And you're moving on
With guilty memories
But I was wrong
To ever test us
This broken road is more than I can take

So this is the way that I'll tell you
That I'll leave you alone if you want me to
But I've had enough of this life alone
I'll give it up this time I know
I don't deserve to tell you that I love you
There's nothing in this world I'd take above you
I'm dead inside
Bring me back to life

I'll leave this note for you to read
So you won't forget that all I need is you
Is you!!
And the world is not so clear anymore
Since the day that you walked right out that door
I knew all I need is you

This is the way that I'll tell you
That I'll leave you alone if you want me to
But I've had enough of this life alone
I'll give it up this time I know
I don't deserve to tell you that I love you
There's nothing in this world I'd take above you
I'm dead inside
Bring me back to life

It's never too late to show you who I am
I know you want to love me
I know you understand that I could be your missing page

Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

This is the way that I'll tell you
That I'll leave you alone if you want me to
But I've had enough of this life alone
I'll give it up this time I know
I don't deserve to tell you that I love you
There's nothing in this world I'd take above you
I'm dead inside
Bring me back to life

Distance lyrics - Secondhand Serenade



I'm driving down the highway
Cold and dark, dead
(It's deceiving)
It's deceiving
And miles and miles pass by
And I'm alone
My eyes feel like they're bleeding
But I'm just crying

Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?

I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
And I don't know if my heart will make It through
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too

I don't suppose you heard me
Call your name, girl
If you say louder,
Then I'll scream louder
The cities in between us block the way
They make it harder
But I'll scream louder

Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?

I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
And I don't know if my heart will make
It through
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too

(Don't hate me)
Don't fail now
Hold on to hope
Cause I'm yours
I'm coming home to you soon
(I'm coming home)
Cause the road is very worn
And It's begging me to come back
(To You)

I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
(I'm sorry)
Please don't hate me too
(I'm coming home)
Don't hate me too
Please don't hate me too

Something More lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

I lie awake again, my bodies feeling paralysed
I can’t remember when
I didn’t live through this disguise
The words you said to me
They couldn’t set me free

Im stuck here in this life i didn’t ask for
There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?

Breathe in breathe out

And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store

Breathe in breathe out

The storm is rolling in
The thunders loud it hurts my ears

Im paying for my sins
And its gunna rain for years and years

I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over
I have to start this over

There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?

Breathe in breathe out

And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store

Breathe in breathe out

I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over
I have to start this over

There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?

Breathe in breathe out

And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store

Breathe in breathe out
There must be something more
Breathe in breathe out
There must be something more

Stay Away lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


Something isn't right,
I'm losing faith in everything I know,
what do I know?

You told me I should fight,
not be self destructive thinking I should go,
what do i know?

Stay away from me!
I need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
Won't you stay a part of me?

I need you too badly,
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly.

I wrote this song tonight,
just to feel like I was not alone,
But I am alone.
I don't have the right to ask for your
forgiveness on the phone,
Cause I am alone.

Stay away from me!
I need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
Won't you stay a part of me?

I need you too badly,
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly.

This feelings never ending,
and I can't keep pretending,
that it's you I want,
that it's you.
I'm not okay,
I'm not okay.

Stay away from me!
I need you too badly,
and it's tearing me apart!
Won't you stay a part of me?

I need you too badly,
I need you too badly,
I need you too badly.

You & I lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

I'm feeling distracted,
And likewise attracted,
To all the things that you let me know,
All the things that you can't let go.
You're waiting for friction,
This empty addiction
Is forcing me to intervene.
Let's break out of this scene.

I know, I'm not alone.
I'm not the only one who is broken.
And I know I'll never let you go.
I could watch the world pass by,
Just as long as it's you and I, you and I.

I watch you take over.
I'll give you this offer:
Take my hand and we'll run away,
Leave behind our past to stay.
Decaying 'til it's rotten.
A we'll have long forgotten
The memories that will haunt your heart.
Let's tear this town apart.

I know, I'm not alone.
I'm not the only one who is broken.
And I know I'll never let you go.
I could watch the world pass by,
Just as long as it's you and I, you and I.

We watch the world go by,
But if it's you and I
Then we will never die,
No we can never die
[x2]

I know, I'm not alone.
I'm not the only one who is broken.
And I know I'll never let you go.
I could watch the world pass by,
Just as long as it's you and I, you and I.
[x2]

Is There Anybody Out There? lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


You can say goodbye,
To all the things that you have ever known.
You can say goodbye,
And leave inside the life that you have grown.
What's the point,
You try to start from scratch,
but get let down,

You can say goodbye,
Just to realize there's no-one left around.
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there,
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I'm looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

You can live or die,
Without the chance to find out what your worth,
You can live or die,
And never find the one that she'd deserve,
You can walk alone,
And live inside the shadows in your heart,

You can say goodbye
Or live and find out you've been alone right from the start
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there,
am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer,
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I am looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

Never thought I would end up all alone,
Every day I am feeling further away from home,
I can't catch my breath,
but I am holding on.

Is there anybody out there,
is this the last time I have to say goodbye,
Am I staring at my future,
Is it time to take charge of my life,

Is there anybody out there
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer,
or am I trying to find a way to get back home,
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I am looking for an answer,
And just trying to find a way to survive,
a way to survive,
and I am holding on.

Reach For The Sky lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Watch you waste away.
You were born to shine, left behind.
Slowly fades to grey.
Yet you say you are fine, but I fear you are blind.
How could you believe that you've done wrong?
You don't believe in yourself.

Reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could.
Open your eyes
I would pick you up if I could.

Listen to the sound,
of your days passing by while you live a lie.
Why'd you turn around,
why'd you say goodbye, was there no reply?
How could you believe that you're not strong?
You don't believe in anything.

So, reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could.
Open your eyes
I would pick you up if I could.

And then I saw your face
and you were left alone
but you're not alone
you're not alone [x2]

Reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could.
Open your eyes
I would pick you up if I could.

You're not alone [x5]

Only Hope lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

My beating heart is getting tired.
Tonight it feels like it's on fire,
and I'm driving all alone.
My hand is on my phone,
waiting for you to call me.
Please pick up the phone and call me,
cause I'm lonely and my mind is aching.
Can't you see I'm for the taking?

You are my only hope,
but you're so far.
And you are my only hope,
so come back home from where you are.

I see your face on everyone,
like the constant beating of the sun right on my skin.
I'm suffering without you.
"It's Out of Reach" on my stereo
is starting to feel real close to home,
and I can't bear to sleep here without you.

You are my only hope,
but you're so far.
And you are my only hope,
so come back home from where you are.

Just come back home from where you are.
Just come back home..

Sometimes I feel like I was mistaken.
You must be an angel.
Sit down and teach me what life is all about.
I see myself changing.
No longer a stranger.
You gave me a reason to never go.

You are my only hope,
but you're so far.
And you are my only hope,
so come back home from where you are.

So Long lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

I am leaving for a while can you tell me that we. will. be. ok
Your friends think that I am no good, all they ever do is try to pull you away.
But I wont let them ever take you, ever take you, ever take you.

So long, I've waited for this day to find someone to go to, and I just want to tell you,
That its so on, we're leaving yesterday, and I don't think life
will ever be the same, lets take this all the way.

Dead silence on the phone,
Leading to a dial tone, this is not what I have planned, the endless memories without you, life passing by with out you,
each day just like a grain of sand, but I wont let them ever take you
ever take you ever take you

So long, I've waited for this day to find someone to go to, and I just want to tell you,
That its so on, we're leaving yesterday, and I don't think life
will ever be the same, lets take this all the way.

Can you face me, can you wait for it
Can you taste me, can you fight for it
Will you fight for it.

So long, I've waited for this day to find someone to go to, and I just want to tell you,
That its so on, we're leaving yesterday, and I don't think life
will ever be the same, lets take this all the way.

World Turns lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Turn slowly,
You changed so fast
And I don't have the strength.
All I see
Is broken glass
With tiny shards of pain.

And change is coming my way, but I still feel the same, I still feel the same.
And change is coming my way, but I still feel the same, I still feel the same.

Hold structure,
Don't let life pass,
Let yourself be free.
Cause you're much more,
Forget the past,
I'm your enemy.

And change is coming my way,
But I still feel the same, I still feel the same.
And change is coming my way,
But I still feel the same, I still feel the same.

It's quiet (it's quiet)
It's calm now (it's calm now)
No waiting (I'm waiting)
To fall down (to fall down)
You showed me (you showed me)
That I need hope (that I need hope)
That I need change (that I need change)
To know how it feels to be alone
How does it feel to be alone

And change is coming my way,
But I still feel the same, I still feel the same.
And change is coming my way,
But I still feel the same, I still feel the same.
[x2]

Nightmares lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Look away, pray for salvation,
And pray for a sweet conversation.
The problem's not with you.
It's without you.
I love the way that you told me I'm better
The way you described me in letters.
There's nothing I can do,
Is there nothing I can do?

I'll scream just to get your attention.
I have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
And I'll scream just to get your attention.
I have seen the nightmares that tore us apart.

So long, wish that you'd tell me your wrong.
That were not dead and buried,
And save your harsh goodbyes,
Your salty liquid eyes.
And this song, is just another song.
Don't know why I bother.
I can't tell truth from lies.
I can't tell truth from lies.

I'll scream just to get your attention.
I have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
And I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen the nightmares that tore us apart.
Your fires burning bright.
It's burning me alive.
No one can save me now.
Your touch was all I had.
It's eating me alive.
No one can save me now.

I'll scream just to get your attention.
I have seen what happens to a lonely heart.
And I'll scream just to get your attention.
I have seen the nightmares that tore us apart.
Your touch was all I had.

Hear Me Now lyrics - Secondhand Serenade (feat. Juliet Simms of Automatic Loveletter)

Left everything behind me,
Searching for the strength I thought I had inside me,
Left you behind so lonely,
Praying for the day that you would somehow find me.

I was young
(you were wrong)
But I tried
(I was trying to give that I had lost through all I see)

Hear me now.
All I can say is I am not afraid,
Of the world that I am trying to put you in.
I fight everyday
But I am to blame.
I am not innocent
But I am not afraid.

I lost all the things inside me (inside me)
Still have found myself with all the will to free me from you,
I'm asleep,
I'm happy (I'm happy)
Want to know so much for you to someday see me.

Tell me how,
(I want to)
Sing it loud,
(I need you to be the one who catches all my dreams)

Hear me now.
All I can say is I am not afraid of the world that I am trying to put you in.
I fight everyday
But I am to blame.
I am not innocent
But I am not afraid anymore.
I am not afraid anymore...

I'm tired of sleeping,
Alone I've been grieving.
The life that I gave up to feel alive.
I want to feel alive.

I'm not afraid anymore.
I'm not afraid anymore.

[x4]
I'm not afraid (I want to feel alive)
Anymore (I want to feel alive).
I'm not afraid (I want to feel, I need to feel)
Anymore (I want to feel alive).

I'm not afraid (hold on tight)
Anymore (let's make this right).
I'm not afraid (take me, come with me, feel alive tonight)

Like A Knife lyrics - Secondhand Serenade



I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this life

Fall For You lyrics - Secondhand Serenade



The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Maybe lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Didn't you want to hear
The sound of all the places we could go
Do you fear
The expressions on the faces we don't know
It's a cold hard road when you wake up
And I don't think that I
Have the strength to let you go

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

There goes my ring
It might as well have been shattered
And I'm here to sing
About the things that mattered
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

And someday, I promise I'll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song
To you, I might even sing this song, to you
And I was crying alone tonight
And I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we'll make it better
So Just come back I'll make it
Better than it ever was [x2]

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
(I want it all, Don't leave right now)
(I'll give you everything)

Stranger lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Turn Around
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can't speak
I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

I'm confident
But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you
I knew you could see right through me
I saw my life flash right before my very eyes
And I knew just what we'd turn into
I was hopeing that you could see
Take a look at me so you can see

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
[x4]

Your beauty seems so far away
I'd have to write a thousand songs to make you comprehend how beautiful you are

I know that I can't make you stay
But I would give my final breathe to make you understand how beautiful you are
Understand how beautiful you are

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
You call me a stranger

Your Call lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
Call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Stripped and pollished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
[X4]
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Suppose lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Suppose that I missed you
Suppose that I care
And suppose that spent all my nights running scared
And suppose
That I was never there

And my eyes are screaming for a sight of you
And tonight I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through
And I can't hold on to you
So I guess I'll be lonely too

Suppose we were happy
Suppose it was true
And suppose there were cold nights
But we somehow made it through
And suppose that I'm nothing without you

My eyes I'm screaming for a sight of you
And tonight I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through
And I can't hold on to you
So I guess I'll be lonely too

Slow way down
This break down's eating me alive
And I'm tired
This fight is fighting to survive

Tell me a secret (I want it)
Tell me a story (I need it)
I'll listen intensively
I'll stay awake all night
All of me is a whisper (So don't leave)
There's nothing left in me (Please help me)
Not even my body is strong enough to fight (Let's make this right)
Please help me make this right

Suppose that I was wrong
Suppose you were here
And suppose that I reached out and caught your tears
And suppose this fight just disappeared

And my eyes are screaming for a sight of you
And tonight I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through
And I can't hold on to you
So I guess I'll be lonely too
But I'd rather be here with you

A Twist In My Story lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down
It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now
Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver
I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence
So please just break the silence

The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you

And I'm longing, for words to describe how I'm feeling
I'm feeling inspired
My world just flip turned upside down
It turns around, say what's that sound
It's my heart beat, it's getting much louder
My heart beat, is stronger than ever
I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive

My whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up, and let your love right through me
I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up, and let your love right through me
That's what you get
When you see your life in someone else's eyes
That's what you get, that's what you get

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you
This world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you

Why lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
But I've broken all my promises to you
I've broken all my promises to you.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

A phrasing that's a single tear,
Is harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone.
Because these days aren't easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren't easy anymore.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.

I should have known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.

Stay Close, Don't Go lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

I'm staring at the glass in front of me,
Is it half empty?
Have I ruined all you've given me?
I know I've been selfish,
I know I've been foolish,
But look through that and you will see,
That I'll do better.
I know, baby I can do better.

[Chorus]
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own.
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,
If you leave me tonight.

Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping,
I listen to your breathing,
Amazed how I somehow managed to,
Sweep you off of your feet girl,
Your perfect little feet girl,
I took for granted what you do,
But I'll do better.
I know, baby I can do better.

[Chorus]
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own.
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,
If you leave me tonight.

And don't you know,
My heart is pumping,
Oh, it's putting up the fight.
And I've got this feeling,
That everything's alright.
Don't you see?
I'm not the only one for you,
But you're the only one for me.

If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone.

[Chorus]
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own.
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,
If you leave me tonight.
Don't leave me tonight.

Pretend lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?

Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to pursue

So please,
Let me be free from you.
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.

I'm blind to all of your colors
That used to be rainbow then
My eyes, where did they go to?
Why disappear?

It's hard to be all alone
I never got through your disguise
I guess I'll just go, and face all my fear

So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.

Put down your world
Just for one night
Pick me again

So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth

Goodbye lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

It's a shame that it had to be this way
It's not enough to say I'm sorry
It's not enough to say I'm sorry

Maybe I'm to blame
Or maybe we're the same
But either way I can't breathe
Either way I can't breathe

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way

I'm alive but I'm losing all my drive
Cause everything we've been through
And everything about you
Seemed to be a lie
A guiltless twisted lie
It made me learn to hate you
Or hate myself for letting it pass by

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way
All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way

And every, everything isn't only
What it seemed so hold these
Words that you never told me
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Goodbye

Bye

Take my pain away
Tear it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my pain away
Tear it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my pain away
tear it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Tested & True lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Superstitions aren't meant for lovers
Under covers, undiscovered is your skin
I am lonely, please let me in
You're probably wondering what I was proving
Are you choosing?
Am I losing you tonight?
Is it over, over?

Are we fading?

[Chorus]
I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don't seem to matter
My words don't seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you're running to
But my words don't seem to matter
I'd rather have you tested and true

Now you've had your chance
So lets try my way, its my day
To show you what you're missing, turn around
And feel the winds of change upon your face again
The warm breath of your closest friend
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Are we fading?

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm scared well fall apart tonight
Under the moonlight, under the moonlight
I'm scared well never make it right
Under the moonlight, under the moonlight
Take my hand and hold it tight
Hold it tight

[Repeat Chorus]

Last Time lyrics - Seconhand Serenade

I'm stuck with writing songs
Just to forget
What they really were about
And these words are bringing me so deeply insane
That I don't think I can dig my way out

I couldn't breathe you in
Like I need to and the words don't mean a thing

So I'll sing this song to you
For the last time
And my heart is torn in two
Thinking of days spent without you
And there is nothing left to prove

I'm counting all the things I could have done
To make you see
That I wanted us to be what I go to sleep and dream of
I want you to know that I'd die for you
I'd die for you

I couldn't breathe you in
Like I need to and the words don't mean a thing

So I'll sing this song to you
For the last time
And my heart is torn in two
Thinking of the days spent without you
And there's nothing left to prove

And if you are alone
Make sure you're not lonely
Cause if you are, I blame myself
For never being home
I know I'm not the only one
Who will treat you like they should
What you deserve

I'm stuck with writing songs
Just to forget

So I'll sing this song to you
For the last time
And my heart is torn in two
Thinking of the days spent without you
And there's nothing left to prove

Fix You lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

(originally by Coldplay)

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I

Tears streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

album: "Awake" (2007)

Half Alive lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
I don't know if I'm home
Or if I lost the way into your room
I'm spiraling into my doom
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day
You and I will be free,

To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
At least 'til yesterday,
You know you got me off my highest guard,
Believe me when I say it's hard.
We'll get through this tonight
And I know one day you and I will be free

To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

And you touch my hand ever so slightly
(Girl we're not ready for this yet)
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won't regret, I won't regret
I won't regret. I won't regret...

And I was trying to disappear,
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
I was trying to disappear
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.

I'm almost alive
And I need you to try and save me.
It's okay that we're dying
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
Tonight...

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
I need to survive tonight, tonight

Broken lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Like a thousand diamonds
I suppose
And your hair flows like
The ocean breeze
Not a million fights
Could make me hate you
You're invincible
Yeah, It's true
It's in your eyes
Where I find peace

Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let's light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You're ready to break
Don't look away.

So here we are now
In a place where
The sun blended
With the ocean thin.
So thin, we stand
Across from each other
Together we'll wonder
If we will last these days
If I asked you to stay
Would you tell me
You would be mine?

And time
Is all I ask for
Time
I just need one more day
And time
You've been crying too long
Time
And your tears wrote this song
Stay

In the moonlight
Your face it glows

Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let's light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You're ready to break
Don't look away.

Vulnerable lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in
Because it's cold outside, cold outside, it's cold outside
Share with me the secrets that you kept in
Because it's cold inside, cold inside, it's cold inside

[Pre-chorus:]
And you're slowly shaking finger tips
Show that you're scared like me so
Let's pretend we're alone
And I know you may be scared
And I know we're unprepared
But I don't care

[Chorus:]
Tell me, tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable
Impossible

I was born to tell you I love you
Isn't that a song already?
I get a B in originality
And it's true I can't go on without you
Your smile makes me see clearer
If you could only see in the mirror what I see

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Slow down girl -- you're not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I am much more you never know what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone, I can be anything
Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed
I can be anyone, anything, I promise I can be what you need

[Chorus]

Your Call lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
Call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Stripped and pollished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
[X4]
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Maybe lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Didn't you want to hear
The sound of all the places we could go
Do you fear
The expressions on the faces we don't know
It's a cold hard road when you wake up
And I don't think that I
Have the strength to let you go

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

There goes my ring
It might as well have been shattered
And I'm here to sing
About the things that mattered
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

And someday, I promise I'll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song
To you, I might even sing this song, to you
And I was crying alone tonight
And I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we'll make it better
So Just come back I'll make it
Better than it ever was [x2]

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
(I want it all, Don't leave right now)
(I'll give you everything)

It's Not Over lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

My tears run down like razorblades and no, I'm not the one to blame: it's you or is it me?
And all the words we never say come out and now we are all ashamed. And there is no sense
In playing games, when you've done all you can do.

But now it's over, it's over. Why is it over? We had the chance to make it. Now it's over,
It's over. It can't be over. I wish that I could take it back, but it's over.

I lose myself in all these fights; I lose my sense of wrong and right. I cry, I cry. I'm
Shaking from the pain that's in my head. I just want to crawl into my bed and throw away
The life I'd led. But I won't let it die. But I won't let it die.

But it's over, it's over. Why is it over? We had the chance to make it. Now it's over,
It's over. It can't be over. I wish that I could take it back.

[x2]
I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart.
Don't say this wont last forever.
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart.
Don't tell me that we will never be together.
We could be over
And over, we could be forever.

It's not over. It's not over, it's never over, unless you let it take you, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, unless you let it break you. It's not over.

I Hate This Song lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Speak with your tongue tied,
I know that you're tired
But I just want to know,
Where you want to go,
I may be sad, But I'm not weak,
This situation is bleak
And your puffy eyes never lie,
Your tears come from inside.

[Chorus:]
Until Sunday I'll be waiting for an answer
I guess that yesterday's not good enough for you,
You know that I hate this song,
You know that I hate this song
Because it was written for you

Drown your fears with me
I'm feeling real sorry
Your glossy eyes don't need
The sadness they have seen
But you're way too deep to swim
Back up again
But somehow I can't find
The moment you said goodbye

[Chorus]

This is becoming a problem I'm hurting it's unfair
But somehow your words,
The way that I heard are haunting me,
You're under my skin
You're breaking in,
And the tasteless fights that filled our nights
Are starting to cave in,
You're under my skin
You're breaking in
And if Sundays what it takes to prove
I have nothing else to loose

[Chorus]

Awake lyrics - Secondhand Serenade



With every appearance by you, blinding my eyes,
I can hardly remember the last time I felt like I do.
You're an angel disguised.

And you're lying real still,
But your heart beat is fast just like mine.
And the movie's long over,
That's three that have passed, one more's fine.

Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

I'm trying real hard not to shake. I'm biting my tongue,
But I'm feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,
I feel like I've won. You're my key to survival.

And if it's a hero you want,
I can save you. Just stay here.
Your whispers are priceless.
Your breathe, it is dear. So please stay near.

Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

Say my name. I just want to hear you.
Say my name. So I know it's true.
You're changing me. You're changing me.
You showed me how to live.
So just say. So just say,

That you'll stay awake for me.
I don't wanna miss anything.
I don't wanna miss anything.
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything

Take Me With You lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

Please Forgive me if I seem forward,
But I've never been in front of anything like you,
It's the last place I ever thought I'd be when I woke up this morning,
Is it true that you are always this breathtaking?,
And you're smart and you're willing,
And my god this is killing me,

Tell me all the things you never said,
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed,
I don't have anything to hide,
I don't have anything everything is not for certain,
I don't have anything to hide,
I don't have anything everything is not for certain,

You started to see right through me,
And I'm loving every minute of it,
It's like I'm born again every time I breathe in so,
If you're curious my favorite color's blue,
And I like to sing in the shower,
If you like I'll sing to you,

Tell me all the things you never said,
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed,
I don't have anything to hide,
I don't have anything everything is not for certain,
I don't have anything to hide,
I don't have anything everything is not for certain,

Tell me all of your hopes,
All of your dreams,
I want you to take me there (take me there),
Tell me all of your hopes,
All of your dreams,
I want to take you there (take you there),
Tell me everything,
Every breath,
I want you to know I'll be there (know I'll be there),
There's just one more thing,
One request,
I want you to take me with you,

Take me with you,
I will never let you down,
I will love you now and forever (now and forever),
[Repeat 5x]

Let It Roll lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


The night smells like December
And we're deep undercover
Staking out
What could be better than all the money in the world

And I'm watching you and I'm waiting
For the perfect time to start participating
And you signal me to stay
But i open my mouth any way

And now it's over, we're goners
It's out of our control
And if there's one thing that I know
It's that it's best to let it roll
So let's just let it roll
Let's just let it roll

Your hazel eyes paralyze my senses
Cut me down to size defenseless
I am defenseless
And I know it's late but I am waiting
For the moment that I've been anticipating
And I signal you to go
Where it will take us, I don't know
And now it's over, we're goners
It's out of our control
And if there's one thing that I know
It's that it's best to let it roll
So let's just let it roll
Let's just let it roll

Just don't waste your night before it started
Make sure I'm worth every single second, yeah

And now it's over, we're goners
It's out of our control
And if there's one thing that I know
It's that it's best to let it roll
So let's just let it roll
Let's just let it roll

And now it's over, we're goners
It's out of our control
And if there's one thing that I know
It's that it's best to let it roll
So let's just let it roll
Let's just let it roll

The Last Song Ever lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

I wish my life was this song
'cause songs they never die
I could write for years and years
And never have to cry I'd show you how I feel
With out saying a word
I could wrap up both our hearts
I know it sounds absurd

And I saw the tears on your face
I shot you down and I slammed the door
But couldn't make a sound
So please stay sweet my dear
Don't hate me now
I can't tell how this last song ends

The way that I feel tonight so down so down I pray I can swim just so I won't drown and the
Waves that crash over me I am gasping for air take my hand so I can breathe as I write this
Last song down

And I saw the tears on your face I shot you down
And I slammed the door but couldn't make a sound
So please stay sweet my dear
Don't hate me now
I can't tell how this last song ends

The broken glass... your moistened skin
Was everything, was everything

And your broken voice... was quivering
You're everything, you're everything

Scream at me make it the best I ever heard
Laugh out loud I know it sounds absurd

Scream at me make it the best I ever heard
You're everything, you're everything

Heart beats slowing pains are growing
Does she love you that's worth knowing?

Heart beats slowing pains are growing
Does she love you that's worth knowing?
(Yeah...)

End lyrics - Secondhand Serenade


Don't let me drown
Don't let me down

I tried to be
I can't get you out of my lonely mind
I'm suffering
How did I die?

You Are A Drug lyrics - Secondhand Serenade

[from "Something More" single]

Today was just another day
Emotionless and stale
Everytime I try to reach you
I always seem to fail

You're living in this shell
And you don't recognize your sin
You've taken not just me for granted
But the world you're living in

And so you stand there
And you pray for God to see
But the only one you have to be
Honest to is me

You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?

Everytime I get a taste of you
It keeps me wanting more
Yeah, I suffocate from all the words
You said to me before

It seems as though you speak to me
As if it isn't sure
I know I fight for something
but what am I fighing for?

And so I stand there
And I pray for God to see
I just need the strength alone
To do what's best for me

You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?

And this world is fast
It's passed me by
But you're still here
And I don't know why
You've lost your smile
But we can try
To bring it back to life

You are a drug,
I cannot quit you
You are a drug,
I'm still lonely with you
You're not in love,
But I still need to
Hold on to you
What have I gotten into?
