Snowflake Midnight lyrics
Snowflake in a hot world
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them tell you
You're all the same
Snowflake in a hot world
Light inside the dark
You lonely little spark
Too frozen to feel
So fleeting and so real
Melting into something... bigger than you
Melting into someone... someone new
Snowflake in a hot world
Look around you
At all you've done
And all you've become
You're where you should be
You're where you should be
You're where you should be
Melting into something... bigger than you
Melting into someone... someone new
Snowflake in a hot world
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them tell you
You're all the same
You're not the same
You're where you should be
You're where you should be
Nothing to hold on to
And it's a long way... down
Snowflake in a hot world
Don't let them get to you
Don't let them tell you
You're all the same
You're not the same
You're where you should be
You're where you should be
Nothing to hold on to
And it's a long way... down
Floating, drifting, changing... shifting
I'm beating like a butterfly's wing
Unable to sleep
I'm beating like a butterfly's wing
See what you've done to me
Beating like a butterfly's wing
A butterfly
My hair's a mess, just as you left it
The snow falls back and forth
And I fall back to earth
I'm beating like a butterfly's wing
Unable to sleep
I'm beating like a butterfly's wing
See what you've done to me
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
My senses are on fire
My senses are on fire
Ready or not here I come
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Senses are on fire
Opened up by a stranger
At an uncertain hour
You opened yourself
Like a curious flower
Opens herself
Wide to the moon
Life is uncertain and people are so...
Unpredictable
Unshielded by booze
People are so...
Unpredictable
One moon, and one you... one chance to kiss you
One moon, and one you... I've chance to kiss you
One moon, one you... and one chance to kiss you
There's no bliss like home
There's no bliss like home
There's no bliss like home
Home
(instrumental)
In the green grass a young girl... dreams
She's a flower in the field
Well in my dream, you are real
Whatever happens now they say is whatever we choose
Under bright stars a young boy... dreams
He's walking on the moon
In my dream we are too
And whatever happens now they say is whatever we choose
In the hot sun a young cat... dreams
Of night and making love
Well in my dream we are too
And whatever happens now I'll leave it all up to you
She's a flower in the field
You're the one that everyone leans on
You're the one that can't lose control
Your toes in the sand
Inches from throwing yourself in the sea
But you can't
You're the one that everyone leans on
You're the one that can't lose control
Whatever you want
An' whatever you choose
What happens now is up to you
Runaway Raindrop
Why so many tears
There's nothing left to hold you now
And you know you can't stay here
To earth you will fall soon
And from earth you will rise
With 'No' in your mouth now
But there's 'Yes' in your eyes
The cloudbursts are behind you
And a long fall ahead alone
Oh Runaway Raindrop
You have to go home
Sometimes just for a moment, we are what we are
A bag full of second chances, overflowed and spilling out
Down, over and around the original burying ground
Where everyone gets even and everything is as clear as can be
Unending, unalone, into it you come and out of it you'll go
No more running, no more becoming
It takes a flake to know one and here you are
On the edge of yourself and ready to leap
Built to last only as long as snow upon the sea
Say what you will
Say it's all a dream
But if you stay where you are now
You may never leave
It's time to surrender
It's time to awake
Waiting is for buzzards
Wolves never wait
A wolf never waits...
The closer you look
The farther it looks away
You're moving on now
And they're here to stay
There's a little part of you
Faraway from cars
Faraway from cash
That's faraway from war
Faraway from tears
And faraway from the past
Faraway from here
Faraway from here
Faraway from shore
Faraway from war
And faraway from tears
Faraway from cash
Faraway from cars
Faraway from fear
And faraway from the past
So faraway from here
The sound of the falling snow
A squirrel and I are both
At a loss...
For words
Staring until we suddenly burst
And somewhere a still pond stirs
The sign of a brand new world
Being born
Head first
Splashing until it suddenly bursts
To life
Like rain
We watch as our faces change
Crumbling into something more
Beautiful
But strange
It's all about holding on and then letting go
It's all about holding on on on on on on on
And then letting go
It's all about holding on and then letting go...
