The Outsiders

Needtobreathe The Outsiders歌詞
1.The Outsiders

Shortfalls and little sins
Close calls where no one wins
Stand tall but running thin
I'm wearing thin
Oh, why are we keeping score
Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering if this starts sinking
Would we stand our ground
After everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders

I'm not leaving without a fight
I've got my holsters around my sides
Just cause I'm wrong that don't make you right
It's not right
Oh, what are we fighting for

Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering if this starts sinking
Would we stand our ground
After everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders


2.Valley Of Tomorrow

I am a troubled mind, I am a calloused heart
A failing engine from driving way too hard
Trying way too hard
I pulled a 38 out of my bleeding heart
I killed my selfishness for bringing me this far
This far away from you

When the daylight breaks through the buildings of Chicago
I will stand alone in the valley of tomorrow

Oh, this is the way I wanna go down
(This is the last time) I'm starting over with you
This is the way I wanna go out

I never second-guesssed the little voice I heard
It's just a whisper, that sounded like a scream
I aint never felt so free

When the daylight breaks through the buildings of Chicago
I will stand alone in the valley of tomorrow

Oh, this is the way I wanna go down
(This is the last time) I'm starting over with you
This is the way I wanna go out
(This is the last time) I'm starting over with you

I never second-guesssed the little voice I heard
It's just a whisper


3.Through Smoke

Before the truth will come to fill our eyes
The wool comes down in the form of fire
And when the answers and the truth have cut their ties
Will you still find me
Will you still see me through smoke

I was born in a house in a town just like your own
I was raised to believe in the power of the unknown
When the answers and the truth have cut their ties
Will you still find me
Will you still see me through smoke


Who do you believe when you can't get through
When everything you know seems so untrue
When I'm lost in a place that I thought I knew
Give me some way that I might find you


4.Lay 'Em Down

Come down to the river
Come and let yourself in
Make good on a promise
To never hurt again
If you're lost and lonely
You're Broken down

Bring all of your troubles come lay 'em down
All you sinners
And the weak at heart
All you helpless
On the boulevards
Wherever you are now
Whatever evil you've found

Bring all of your troubles
And come lay 'em down
We're all tied to the same old failings
Finding shelter in things we know
We're all dirty like corrupted small towns

We'll bring our troubles
We'll bring our troubles lay 'em down

All you rich men
And the high above
All those with And without love
All you burdened Broken down
Bring all of your troubles
Come lay 'em down

Come lay 'em down


5.What You've Done To Me

I'm finally broken, falling too far
Burned up in pieces from chasing your stars
With twilight approaching all that I've seen
I could never get over what you've done to me

She was the picture of a Midwest sweetheart
Wrapped in a grace to make a good man come apart
She wrote my siren's song a tune with one dance
Then gave it words with just a glance

I'm finally broken, falling too far
Burned up in pieces from chasing your stars
With twilight approaching all that I've seen
I could never get over what you've done to me

I thought that love was just a song we made up
Some kind of chant to make us strong
But when she left me with a word
I knew that I had never been so wrong

Finally broken, falling too far
Burned up in pieces from chasing your stars
With twilight approaching all that I've seen
I could never get over what you've done to me

I'm finally broken, falling too far
Burned up in pieces from chasing your stars
With twilight approaching all that I've seen
I could never get over what you've done to me


6.Hurricane

In the fallout now
It's hard to feel like we can turn around
With the damage done
It's hard to see how far we've come
We could not be proud
Of where our feet have walked along the ground
In the silence now
We play it back and forwards again

There's a sound in our guiltiness
It's a warning bell that rings
It's a call for our lonliness
And we can't see

We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
Its like a hurricane is coming our way
We've all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can't believe it now the time has come

Play the victim here
You know it's nothing but your pride and fear
But the more you hurt
The more you love the one you were

There's a sound in our guiltiness
It's a warning bell that rings
It's a call for our lonliness
And we can't see

We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
Its like a hurricane is coming our way
We've all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can't believe it now the time has come

In the light of the mourning
Can we change what we felt and heard
Can we turn it into the glory
Break the paths of our fathers before us
Though we stand on the outside
We will find what we once believed
And will crawl our way to the clear skies
Standing up we are
Standing up we are

We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
Its like a hurricane is coming our way
We've all been warned but we still chose to stay

I can't believe it now the time has come


7.These Hard Times

Give me something brighter
Give me something I can see
Give me something vicious
Give me something I can be

Give me all the love and peace
To end these wars
Give me something sacred
Something worth fighting for

It's clear enough to me
The ugliness I see
Is evidence of who I need

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

Give me motivation
Give me all my heart's desires
Show me something gorgeous
Show me till my eyes get tired

Give me all the drums and
Show me how to play them loud
Show me how to move
When I can't feel that you're around

It's clear enough to me
The ugliness I see
Is evidence of who I need

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

We hide like theives in shadows
Scared of the sun
We know the light will find us
Us and all we've done

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

Give me an answer
Give me a way out
Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times

Give me the faith
To believe in these hard times


8.Stones Under Rushing Water

Why don't we dance anymore
I'm not ok with that
Why don't we laugh anymore
I'm not ok with that

The years go by like stones under rushing water
We only know when it's gone
The years go by like stones under rushing water
We only know when it's gone

Why don't we smile anymore
I'm not ok with that
Why don't we dance slowly
I'm not ok with that

The years go by like stones under rushing water
We only know when it's gone
The years go by like stones under rushing water
We only know when it's gone

The years go by like stones under rushing water
We only know when it's gone
The years go by like stones under rushing water
We only know when it's gone

Why don't we dance anymore


9.Prisoner

I'm down in a hole, baby
You're lockin me up
You're lockin me up
And this pain I feel
Won't set me free from you

Cause I'm a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, but then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, and I was caught off guard

I'm helpless, and I'm hurting
I'm affixed to your moves and you're shakin me down
You got me locked up
I'm in the doghouse
You had to chain me up cause I was fallin for you
I'm a hopeless situation
I've been cut to the bone and I'm coming for more
So if you need me I'll be waiting
For the girl that I love to be a coming around

This lockless cage you trapped me in
Has brought me to my knees

Cause I'm a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, but then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, and I was caught off guard
Cause I'm a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, but then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner of your heart

Cause I'm a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, but then I locked up hard
Cause I'm a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, but then I locked up hard
Cause I'm a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, but then I locked up hard
I am a prisoner of your heart
Takin' it slow, and I was caught off guard


10.Won't Turn Back

Lonely like a sailor
Who's left his girl at home
No storm could overtake the love he knows

So tell me why I should run for cover
At the sound of the coming thunder
All I hear is the cry of my lover
So take your shot
I won't turn back

Faithful like a soldier
Who's answered to the call
Even when his back's against the wall

So tell me why I should run for cover
At the sound of the coming thunder
All I hear is the cry of my lover
So take your shot
I won't turn back

So tell me why I should run for cover
At the sound of the coming thunder
All I hear is the cry of my lover
So take your shot
I won't turn back


11.Girl Named Tennessee

They say this last forever
That's just what I'm afraid of
I've never danced like this before
She smiles like the Georgia summer
She laughs like the sound of thunder
I'll never dance like this again

I'm not the marrying kind
I've said it a thousand times
I've never danced like this before
She's got the prettiest shoes
And I love the way she moves
I'll never dance like this again

I was free and far from home
I was young and on my own
I was blind as I could be
Thinking love was not for me
Till the night I met that girl named Tennessee

Lights came down and the room spun slow
Started saying she had to go
Don't go baby, I didn't get your name
She said, 'Don't worry. I did not say.'

I was free and far from home
I was young and on my own
I was blind as I could be
Thinking love was not for me
Till the night I met that girl named Tennessee


12.Something Beautiful

In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something
beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

And the water is risin' quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something
beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won't have what I need

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something
beautiful
Oh, something beautiful (fade out)


13.Garden

Needtobreathe - Garden


Won't You take this cup from Me?
because fear has stolen all My sleep.

If tomorrow means My death
pray You'll save their souls with it.

Let the songs I sing bring joy to You.
Let the words I say confess My love.
Let the notes I choose be Your favorite tune.
Father let my heart be after You.

In this hour of doubt I see
who I am is not just Me
so give me strength to die Myself
so love can live to tell the tale.

Let the songs I sing bring joy to You.
Let the words I say confess My love.
Let the notes I choose be Your favorite tune.
Father let my heart be after you.

Father let My heart be for You
For You For You For You

Let the songs I sing bring joy to You.
Let the words I say confess My love.
Let the notes I choose be Your favorite tune.
Father let My heart be after You.
Father let My heart be after You.


14.Let Us Love

We were born to embrace, not accept it
We were given nothing more, and so we kept it
As the colors of our boots keep fading
We live a life that we hate without saying

Who would listen to the cries of a poor man
We've never done nothing
How could we be something
Every heart has an hour of existence
Every breath brings a chance for redemption
If somehow we could wake up

Let us love
Like we were children
Make us feel
Like we're still living
In a world I know that's burning to the ground
Give us time
To beat the system
Make us find
What we've been missing
In a world I know that's burning to the ground

In the crowd of the dead and disappointed
We're ashamed, giving up on what we wanted
Take a chance on a long shot this time
Aren't we all just at least worth another try

I'm a king in a land of abuses
Undermined by the promise of excuses
Who's to win if we know that it's not fair
Who's to fight when it seems that no one cares
If somehow we could wake up

Let us love
Like we were children
Make us feel
Like we're still living
In a world I know that's burning to the ground
Give us time
To beat the system
Make us find
What we've been missing
In a world I know that's burning to the ground

It's hard to stay here, but where do we go
I know we can't feel it anymore
It's true that time is wearing us down
We fall further and further away
Waiting for always to change

Let us love
Like we were children
Make us feel
Like we're still living
In a world I know that's burning to the ground

Leave your hurting on the road behind you
Let the wind go with you 『til the morning comes
Yeah your sorrow, it can't save you
It won't answer for what you've done
