Coming Into Frame

(Hey, Hey)

Oh, we learn to be an army
To keep from breaking with the day
And some battlescars we camoflauge
While some give us away

(Hey, Hey)
You know safe ain’t free
(Hey, Hey)
And purple hearts still bleed
(Hey, Hey)
Got to let it be, baby
(Hey, Hey)
So, come On

Love is a Cannonball
Crashing through all our defenses
Love is a Cannonball
So what are we fighting for

Oh, we learn each day’s a killer
It’s on our faces, look around
But we’ve got to hope it makes us stronger
So just burn that white flag down

(Hey, Hey)
You know safe ain’t free
(Hey, Hey)
And purple hearts still bleed
(Hey, Hey)
Got to let it be, baby
(Hey, Hey)
So, come On

Love is a Cannonball
Crashing through all our defenses
Love is a Cannonball
So what are we fighting for

To whom it may concern
I chase my tail again
I’ll never catch it so
I know I’ll never win

And you say I’m better than
The damage that I do
But I just can’t see myself
The way that you seem to

Lying, lionheart
I’ll run again
Go on and try to catch
Me if you can

To whom it may concern
I’ve used up all my faith
Now I’m the only one
Who’s standing in my way

And you say I’m braver for
The damage I’ve been through
Wish I could see myself
The way that you seem to

Lying, lionheart
I’ll run again
Go on and try to catch
Me if you can

All of my courage, All of my courage
I have faked it
All of my courage, All of my courage
Was mistaken
All of my courage, All of my courage
I have faked it
‘Cause I’ve never been as brave as I’ve wanted to be

Lying, lionheart
I’ll run again
Go on and try to catch
Me if you can

To whom it may concern
I chase my tail again
I’ll never catch it so
I know I’ll never win

It’s a curse
It’s a waste
If you count on me

It’s a curse
It’s a waste
Chasing down our dream

And it hurts
When your face
Keeps coming into frame

I’m in reverse
And out of place
But I can’t go back

Try and forget about the picture (I can’t forget you)
Try and forget about the picture (I know I’ve got to)
Try and forget about the picture (But I don’t want to)
Try and forget about you

And I know
It’s a shame
When we tried so hard

And I know
It’s a shame
To see the failures of a heart

When there’s no one to blame
I will play that part

So let me go
With the pain
That we can’t take back

Try and forget about the picture (I can’t forget you)
Try and forget about the picture (I know I’ve got to)
Try and forget about the picture (But I don’t want to)
Try and forget about you

You and I can reason our way out of everything
But you and I can’t find some reason now in anything
Oh if there was just a reason for, a reason for us to hold on this time

Try and forget about the picture (I can’t forget you)
Try and forget about the picture (I know I’ve got to)
Try and forget about the picture (But I don’t want to)
Try and forget about you

One for strength
Two for joy
Three for better days

All that I
Counted on
Seems so far away

So here I stand
On foreign ground
Trying not to sway

With nothing left to lose
but everything

Dare me to try
To make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind
And make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind

One for hope
Two for grace
Three for chancing it

All that I counted on
I took for granted

With this scar
I am found
I am branded

With everything to lose
This is nothing

Dare me to try
To make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind
And make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind

I am blood
I am bones
But I am not afraid…

Better watch my back
‘Cause they’re coming
Better watch my back
‘Cause they’re waiting
With their sharpened knives
Ripe for digging
Better run – Better run

‘Cause there’s a killer in my corner
There’s a killer come to call
And I’m not getting any stronger
‘Cause they’ve been killing me in pieces after all

Better not look back
Time is wasting
Better not look back
No hesitating
‘Cause if they smell blood
They’ll be circling
Better run – Better run

‘Cause there’s a killer in my corner
There’s a killer come to call
And I’m not getting any stronger
‘Cause they’ve been killing me in pieces after all

The politics are murder
They’ll cut you down with style
The politics are murder
So shake hands and smile at

The killer in my corner
And the killer come to call
And I’m not getting any stronger
‘Cause they’ve been killing me in pieces after all

What’s killing you my darling
What’s killing you my love
What’s killing you my darling
What’s killing you my love

Happiness it came on like a wonder
Happiness was such a nice surprise
‘Cause baby you and I kept making bad news
So I have got to shut off the supply

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah

I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you

I don’t want to hang on second chances
I don’t want to have another cry
I just want to scream it from the roof tops
And I just want to write it in the sky

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah

I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you

And now that, I’ve let you go
Oh-woah, oh-woah, woah, woah
It’s true that my troubles all but leaving

I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you

I suppose I’m sorry doesn’t mend it
I made a mess of everything again and
It’d be fair if you just walked away

But you should know it’s better than before and
I’m not one for ledges anymore and
I’ve been trying harder than I say

So don’t say
It’s too late
To save us now
‘Cause all I know
Is that the shine goes
And few stay gold
But baby you’re my gold

I suppose forgiving doesn’t end it
‘Cause we’re bound to screw it up again but
Just know I never meant to let you down

I guess it was so hard for me to see since
You’ve been the anchor keeping hold of me
That you would be the one of us to drown

So don’t say
It’s too late
To save us now
‘Cause all I know
Is that the shine goes
And few stay gold
But baby you’re my gold

And I always thought you knew
That all I want is you

So don’t say
It’s too late
To save us now
‘Cause all I know
Is that the shine goes
And few stay gold
But baby you’re my gold

__________________________________________

Maybe it’s all a bluff
This happy ending sort of stuff
But when I see you smile it makes we want to try – oh

‘Cause you have some kind of face
It could light up all of outer space
And in your eyes I see another world there waiting

And I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
To give you
Hope you’ve got the time to stick around
Cause I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love

My telltale heart keeps on
Beating louder than my drum
And I’m afraid it’s telling me how much I need you

I’m not at all well to do
I don’t have much to offer you
Except this little beating heart that’s bursting for you

I’ve been feeling lately
That time is on my side
‘Cause you’ve been spending all of yours
By taking all of mine

Oh! I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
To give you
Hope you’ve got the time to stick around
Cause I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love

Annie’s on automatic
No one seems to know
She says it all went south
When they hit Mexico
18 is just too young to give yourself away
And just too old to think your world is gonna change

Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like a pretty good start
Woah- oh- oh- oh- oh – oh

Annie’s on automatic
Even she can’t tell
She says it all went south
When he took her through hell
She sold the ring but holds the baggage ’cause she knows
Some things are easier to forget than to let go

Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like a pretty good start
Woah- oh- oh- oh- oh – oh

All this time
She wasted by
Trying to keep it together

Oh, but she finds
Sometimes what she really needs
Is to let it, let it, go and leave it

Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like a pretty good start
Woah- oh- oh- oh- oh – oh

Oh the bet was true
But I spent the cost of you
And I’ve lived for less
But it kills me to confess

That
Oo you let me down
Oo you let me down

Oh the fix was in
So you crossed the line to win
And when I call, you fold
‘Cause you can’t afford to hold

So
Oo you let me down
Oo you let me down

You get what you give
You give what you get
You get what you give
You get what you get

Oh the bet was true
But I spent the cost of you
