Garou - Piece of my soul - 2008

Stand up!

Dream yourself awake
Can’t make it through the night
Wicked dreams will haunt you
When the morning light shines
You try to find your way outside
Just another day
Try to let them shine
But people disappoint you
Makes you wonder why
You try you
Can almost see the end of you

So come on stand up
Yeah put your hands up
It ain’t wrong to be strong
Then it’s gonna be gone
And then it won’t come back to you
No no no
Now wake up
Try not to break up
If they’re holding you down then you rise to the top
Cause your a bad bad girl and you just can’t stop

Give yourself a break and listen to your heart
Let your conscience guide you never let your guard down
Find out the best of you
Everything you do and what is done to you
It doesn’t have to change you
It only makes you stronger and stronger
The more they take away from you

So come on stand up
Yeah put your hands up
It ain’t wrong to be strong
Then it’s gonna be gone
And then it won’t come back to you
No no no
Now wake up
Try not to break up
If they’re holding you down then you rise to the top
Cause your a bad bad girl and you just can’t stop

You won’t lead no beggar’s life
And you sure don’t need their bad advice
Or their five cents worth of what they think of you
sometimes they’re not so in to you
Keep your head above that line
You know everybody loses sometimes
shame shame shame
The things they’ve done to you

So come on stand up
So come on stand up
Yeah put your hands up
It ain’t wrong to be strong
Then it’s gonna be gone
And then it won’t come back to you
No no no
Now wake up
Try not to break up
If they’re holding you down then you rise to the top
Cause your a bad bad girl and you just can’t stop

Accidental

We’re all angels that fall from grace
So you don’t have to hide your face from me
it’s the burden you won’t lay down
It’s the guilt that you carry around
You can see it coming
But somehow you can’t seem to avoid it
Avoid this

Life is accidental
And things happen coincidentally
I never mean to hurt you
You never mean to hurt me
But we all get our hands a little dirty

Let it out and let me inside
Tell me things that you feel you need to hide
All you secrets can’t be worse then mine
So come closer and hold me tight

‘til you feel the poison running
From your veins and turning into nothing
Nothingness

Life is accidental
And things happen coincidentally
I never mean to hurt you
You never mean to hurt me
But we all get our hands a little dirty

Don’t get down
Just look around
There’s no one perfect in this town
Don’t beat yourself up
Like everyone else does
Bit by bit it all gets turned around

Heaven's table


From the guy who stopped for the child on the street
To put a dollar in her hand for something to eat
To the mother who works every hour God made
To put the kids ?through school and get the loans repaid

She's some kind of hero
He's some kind of saviour
Yeah maybe they're angels

Cause not all the angels
Not all the angels
Not all the angels sit at heaven's table

There's a woman who listens on the all night phone
To another lost soul trying to get back home
I've seen a guy pull a stranger from a burning wreck
In the beat of a heart give his very last breath

That's some kind of hero
She's some kind of saviour
Yeah maybe they're angels

Cause not all the angels
Not all the angels
Not all the angels sit at heaven's table

Yeah some say they're heroes
And some call them saviours But I think they're angels
Cause not all the angels

Not all the angels
sit at heaven's table
Heaven’s table

All the way

I wish I'd know you better
Then it wouldn't be so hard
Face to face we're heads up
Our future's written in the cards
I bet it's gonna cost
For me to buy your trust
I wanna go all the way
But something tells me that won't happen
You're starting to take this game too far
I wanna go all the way
But going there would leave me broken
Heading up straight into contradiction
I gotta stop gambling that sweet addiction

I guess you got me blind
When you led me by the hand
There can't be 3 of this kind
Only you and I can stand
You called me
If you raise me up I am all in
I wanna go all the way
But something tells me that won't happen
You're starting to take this game too far
I wanna go all the way
But going there would leave me broken
Heading up straight into contradiction
I gotta stop gamble that sweet addiction

There's just one too many consequences
Down the river it can break
If you just pretend and still believe it
You will lie down with your faith
If you really wanna play
Together we can make it happen
You shouldn't push this game too far
I wanna go all the way
But going there will leave me broken
Heading up straight into contradiction
I gotta stop gambling that sweet...... addiction

Take a piece of my soul

Saw you walkin' down the street
On a rainy day
Wearin' a feather in your hair
So I had to say hi, hey hey
And the man In the multicolored rainbow suit
Came up to you and gave you a balloon
That's right, what a day
Then I held you near
Whispered in your ear
Take a piece of my soul
I give it to you
So make it your home
Take a piece of my heart
One thing you can't do
Is tear it apart
This piece of my heart
Round and round
The world it turns
Like a carousel
And my heart still burns
4u today
And days turn into nights
And nights turn into days
That's the way of the world
It's true they say
When I see you sleepin'
I think that I'm dreamin' so
Take a piece of my soul
I give it to you
So make it your home
Take a piece of my heart
One thing you can't do
Is tear it apart
This piece of my heart
No matter what we do
We'll always be together me and you
Take a piece of my soul I give it to you
So make it your home
Take a piece of my heart
One thing you can't do
Is tear it apart
This piece of my heart

What’s the time in New York City

Baby when you read these words
You’ll be on a plane somewhere
So high, surfin’ through the clouds again
In a different atmosphere
So many miles away from here I just remembered
We never said goodbye

So I wrote you a note
Left it in the pocket of your coat
Reminding you¸ I’m missing you
Coloured little hearts and stones
Drew a little home sweet home
But you’re never here
You’re never here

What’s the time in New York City
Does it look like rain again
Did you get the message
That a left for you last night
What’s the time in New York City
Do you still feel the same again
It’s 4 am i couldn’t sleep and I’m missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering if you think of me at all

The city starts to breath again
Riding on a busy train
Today I caught a stranger’s smile
Oh she reminded me of you
Things that we forgot to say
Right before you went away
You know it gets a little harder now each time

So I wrote you a note
Left it in the pocket of your coat
Reminding you, I’m missing you
Coloured little hearts and stones
Drew a little home sweet home
Am I getting through
Am I reaching you

What’s the time in New York City
Does it look like rain again
Did you get the message
That a left for you last night
What’s the time in New York City
Do you still feel the same again
It’s 4 am I couldn’t sleep and I’m missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering if you think of me at all

All this time and distance
Keeps pulling us apart
Baby all this space between us
Keeps tearing at the heart
What’s the time in New York City
What’s the time in New York City
Does it look like rain again
Did you get the message that I left for you last night
What’s the time in New York City
Do you still fell the same again
It’s 4 am I couldnt’ sleep and I’m missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering if you think of me at all
What’s the time in New York City

You and I

Well I'm starting the day trying to find different ways to get through
Till it's time to come back
And I can't slow it down and I'm climbing the walls and I feel like I'm under attack
There's too many people that get in my way
And there's never a right time that I get to say
When you and I touch hands when you and I stop
Still in the moment it's you and I
Not running for something that's already gone
When it's just you and I that's when I'm home
That's when I'm home

There's always the question what's holding me down
Show me an answer cause I haven't found
A way to escape to get out of it all
Somewhere that I am allowed to fall
With no bones to break I can be who I am
Cause you know me better than anyone
When you and I touch hands when you and I stop
Still in the moment it's you and I
Not running for something that's already gone
When it's just you and I that's when I'm home
That's when I'm home
Home's not a house with windows and walls not a place to be shut in
There are no doors
And no matter where I come to rest your arms will be my safety net
That's when I'm home
When you and I touch hands when you and I stop
Still in the moment it's you and I
Not running for something that's already gone
When it's just you and I that's when I'm home
That's when I'm home
That's when I'm home
That's when I'm home

First day of my life

So I found a reason
To stay alive
To try a little harder
See the other side
Talking to myself
Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a reason
To this stupid life
Don’t want your sympathy
Sometimes I don’t know who to be

Hey, what you’re looking for
No-one knows the answer
They just want more
Hey, who’s gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life

So I found a reason
To let it go
Tell you what I’m smiling
But I still need to grow
Will I find salvation
In the arms of love
Will it stop me searching
Will it be enough
Don’t want your sympathy
Sometimes I don’t know who to be

Hey, what you’re looking for
No-one knows the answer
But you just want more
Hey, who’s gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life

The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain

Hey, what you’re looking for
No-one has the answer
They just want more
Hey, who’s gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life
Hey, what you’re looking for
No-one has the answer
They just want more
Hey, who’s gonna shine a light
This could be the first day of my lif

Nothing else matters

I was in the bedroom packing for a trip
You were in the kitchen a smile on your lips
What's it gonna matter when this moment's gone?
The world's spinning faster but we're just holding on

A sudden disaster could roll from sea
The earth could just open forget you and me
Life is what happens while we're making plans
You gave me your heart but it slipped through my hands

Did I ever stop to say?
Did I ever find a way?
To catch you when time flew
Did I ever make it show?
Did I ever let you know?
Nothing else matters but you
Nothing else matters but you

I was on the rooftop the sun in my eyes
You were in a mood for a little surprise
But nights turn to days then weeks become years
What are we left with when all this disappears?

Did I ever stop to say?
Did I ever find a way?
To catch you when time flew
Did I ever make it show?
Did I ever let you know?
Nothing else matters but you Nothing else matters but you

'Cause time doesn't slip it runs through our hands And just where it goes, I can't understand
Like an old photograph, in white and black
The hours have faded, but I just want them back, I just want them back

Did I ever stop to say?
Did I ever find a way?
To catch you when time flew
Did I ever make it show?
Did I ever let you know? Nothing else matters but you
Did I ever stop to say?
Did I ever find a way?
To catch it when time flew
Did I ever make it show?
Did I ever let you know?
Nothing else matters but you

Back for more

It feels like this thing had just begun
We caught then sun on the rise
Tasted a sweetness yet to come
I saw my life in your eyes

And I can ’t let it go
Tried to close down the show
If I said that I’ve moved on
Baby inside I know
I will be waiting here for you
With my heart like an open door
Shouldn’t believe it but i do
that you will come back for more

When I see your beauty in the crowd
I wish that I could explain
Just find the words to tell you how
My love is wearing your name

And I can’t let you go
Tried to close down the show
If I said that I’ve moved on
Baby inside I know
I will be waiting here for you
With my heart like an open door
Shouldn’t believe it but I do
that you will come back for more

I won’t turn out the lights
If you were to stop on by
I’ll keep a place in my life
Where dreams never die,baby
I will be waiting
Shouldn’t believe it but I do
that you will come back for more
I will be waiting here for you
With my heart like an open door
Shouldn’t believe it but I do
that you will come back for more
I will be waiting here for you
I will be waiting
With my heart like an open door
Shouldn’t believe it but I do
that you will come back for more

Beautiful regret

Even when she sleeps
She dreams a smile
You’ll wonder where
She’s gone to now
Every word she spears
She’ll catch your breath
She’ll start to weep
But laugh instead
Even when it rains
She’s dancing there
She can walk on air
If she wants to, if she wants to

Cause it’s all to make you crazy for her
And the world is just a playground for her – yeah

Try to make her yours
She’ll run and hide
When it’s way too late
You’ll realize, you’ll realize

Cause it’s all to make you crazy for her
And the world’s a great big playground for her

She’s a beautiful, beautiful regret
Cause even when she’s gone
Vanished into air
You’ll be holding on
I’ve been there, i’ve been there

Cause it’s all to make you crazy for her
And the world is a great painted playground for her
Cause it’s all to make you crazy for her, for her
A great big playground for her
Yeah

Coming home

I hopped aboard a southbound train
That took me back in time
To a place that I once knew
A place where you where mine
And I know that I’ve made up my mind
I’m coming home to you

I hit the road and rick up my bag
Like the very first time
And dream that I’m here walking with you hand in hand
But I know that I’ve made up my mind
I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home to you, baby

And these streets that I walk on
Paved with times that have come and gone
But now nothin’ can keep you away from me
See

Pick up my courage with both my hands
And walk to your front door
It seems I’ve gone through all of this a thousand times before
And I know that when you see my face that I’ve come home to you
I’ve come home for you, baby, hey

Oh I know that I’ve made up my mind
That I’ve come home to you
I’ve come home baby

And these streets that I walk on
Paved with times that have come and gone
But now nothin’ can keep you away from me
See

I’m comin’ home for you, baby
I’m comin’ home
I’m comin’ home for you, baby
But I know that I’ve made up my mind
I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home for you hey, hey
