Stand Up lyrics - Five For Fighting
If you write a tragedy
where you can't be saved
If your dreams put you asleep
Cause your bed is made
Stand Up Stand Up
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
If you have to paint your face
and you're not a clown
If you're naked lost in space
And all you wears a frown
Stand Up Stand Up
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
Stand Up Stand Up
Stand Up Stand Up
Before you hit the ground
There is no perfect man
We are just who I am
If you don't understand
Well don't give up
Cause one and one is two
Enough to get us through
If I can count on you
To just stand up
Can anybody out there hear me, hear me
Can anybody out there hear me, hear me
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
Stand Up Stand Up
Before you hit the ground
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
Stand Up Stand Up
Before you hit the ground
If you have to paint your face
And you're not a clown
If you're naked lost in space
And the world lets you down
If you write a tragedy
where you can't be saved
What If lyrics - Five For Fighting
Threw a line out to pull you to me
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
You made your mind up before you knew me
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
Take my hand for a minute
We're in it - imagine all the pain that might be forgiven
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?
What if you told my lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me? What if I were you?
Had a dream of a new tomorrow
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
I took a step hoping you might follow
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
Take a chance for a minute. Jump in it
Imagine if you asked yourself for a minute
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?
What if you told my lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me? And what if I were you?
To the ones who make it better, find to get out, gotta touch the other side
What if all that it took to save our lives together was to rise up...
(Hey!)
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down (break down)?
And what if I were you?
What if I told your lies?
What if you cried with my eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me? What if I were you?
What if your hand was my hand?
Could you hold on or let go?
What if your life was my life?
Can you love what we don't know?
What if your hand was my hand?
Could we hold on or let go?
What if your life was my life?
And what if I were you?
Heaven Knows lyrics - Five For Fighting
There's no time to waste
In this famous goodbye
There's Angels landing on the shore
So lay down with me
Let the river run dry
It's Sunday in the six-day war
Smile darling don't be sad
Stars are going to shine tonight
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
There's a children's choir in perfect parade
Singing like they found the Lord
I can't say it they'll let me in
But we can dance the way we did
High above up the seventh floor
Smile darling don't be sad
Stars are going to shine tonight
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
And how I loved you
Father hear your Son
Do the good die young
Did I raise you up, raise you up
Make you Proud
Let the sun go out
Tear the bridges down
I'm on my way, on my way
I'm going home
Home
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
Heaven Knows
Down lyrics - Five For Fighting
Hey good looking
What you got cooking
I can see but I can't find the light
Please forgive me
If I don't have a smile to smile tonight
Don't you know
Life ain't pictures and words
And I don't care if you know that I'm hurting cause
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
This time around
I see you're happy
Out there laughing
Must be nice to have your sweet revenge
I might be crazy
But I think I won this in the end, the end
Don't you know I can build my own house
You can try, but you can't throw me out because
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
They say you don't get what you want
But you get what you need
I don't know who they are
Or how they believe it
The truths in the tears
The fire and the fears
I'm standing on
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
This time around
I Don't Want Your Love lyrics - Five For Fighting
If I lived so long to be the last man alive
My heart would never change
If I had the choice between a million eyes
I'd see you just the same
It's no secret you're the one for me
It's obvious to all
But, I don't want your love
I don't want your love
You say that providence brought me to you
That you would be my wife
Together we could start a family
And live a decent life
There's nothing more I'd rather say to you
Than swear the words I do
But, I don't want your love
No, I don't want your love
I would kill
I would die for you
I always will be true
If I could fix this thing you know that I would
But, only you can do
Cause it don't matter how much you love me
Or how I might love you
I don't want your love
I don't want your love
I don't want your love
My love
Until you love you too
Road To You lyrics - Five For Fighting
I can't believe how I love you
You'll be the last
You'll be the last turn I take
All of the signs are in color
Baby, I'm on my way
I hear a song on the radio
And it sounds like something I miss
But, I don't need those old melodies
With you on my lips
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
Watching you walk down the aisle
Every step, every step takes a year
Baby, you can count on the man
That's standing right here
Today is the way to forever
I made a map to find you when you're alone
Wherever we've been don't matter
We're this close to home
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
Road to you
Road to you
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
She's My Girl lyrics - Five For Fighting
She turns wine to water
She's nobody's daughter
A stranger to the lovers at her feet
She makes potions between kisses
And wishes on the sun
Because the stars late at night she can't see
She's my best friend
She's standing right beside me
I've waited my whole life
For somebody to find me
I know you don't like her
But she's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my girl
There's beauty in disaster
You can just ask her
But you wont like what you will hear
Her name has stitches between letters
Goes on forever
In a skyline rainbow made of tears
She's my best friend
She's standing right beside me
I've waited my whole life
For somebody to find me
I know you don't like her
But she's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my girl
We all need someone to love
Fire to touch
Reasons to rise above the cold
In a paralyzed world
It's not enough to pretend alone
She's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my best friend
She's standing right beside me
I've waited my whole life
For somebody to find me
I know you don't like her
But she's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my girl
She's my girl
Symphony Lane lyrics - Five For Fighting
Symphony Lane is a private court
That runs away from you
Symphony Lane is made out of notes
Silent as they're true
Symphony Lane is a shaded drag
With one house on the block
Park your car at the violins
Leave your heart unlocked
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you
Overtures
Symphony Lane has sidewalks of gold
Providing no escape
Symphony Lane is one hundred years old
Born just yesterday
She's all around you, oh
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you
Overtures
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you
Overtures
Symphony Lane is a one-way road
Wide enough for two
Symphony Lane is the only hope
I'm holding out for you
Symphony Lane is straight up ahead
Right around the bend
Think too fast
Drive too slow
You'll miss her once again
You'll miss her once again
You'll miss her once again
You'll Never Change lyrics - Five For Fighting
I know you have big plans ahead
Alterations
Filling up your mind
A little patience
Before you start to sand these corners
I'm warning you
I know you've put down
Our second chapter
But as an actor
Darling read between the lines
Before you take up the role of the reformer
You'll never change
You'll never change
Change me
You know I have this deep desire
For how you're wired
Intrigues me to no end
And I'm willing to do what I can do
Push the boundaries
Hang your picture
Mix your mixture
But don't expect to fix the color, the color of my eyes
You'll never change
You'll never change
Change me
Is it so wrong to be strong
Change
Change
You'll never change
You'll never change
Change me
I know you have big plans ahead
Your Man lyrics - Five For Fighting
Let me be clear
Look in my eyes
Don't ask me why
They've gone from brown to blue
Let yourself in
Don't be surprised
In what you find
All that you see is true
I don't want to have a horse in the running
I don't want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming
I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder
I don't want to be young
Be another day older
I don't want to be the son of a better man
I don't want to love you any more than the best I can
I just want to be your man
Old fairy tales built up on lies
Meant to disguise what we have left to lose
Turn me to stone
Offer me twice
Into the fire
Into the fire I choose
I don't want to have a horse in the running
I don't want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming
I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder
I don't want to be young
Be another day older
I don't want to be the son of a better man
I don't want to love you any more than the best I can
I just want to be your man
Your man
Daddy was a fool when he walked out on the wire
Waited for the wind, the wind was on fire
She took him at his word and they never turned back
Never turned back again
I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder
I don't want to be young
Another day older
I don't want to be the son of a better man
I don't want to love you any more than the best I can
I just want, I want, I want to be your man (I wanna be your man)
I don't want to be a horse in the running
But I could spread the news, a new day is coming
All I need to find is the place on your shoulder
Baby we could grow young, yeah we could grow older
We could have a son who's a better man
With baby blues eyes
Don't you understand
I just want to be your man
The Day I Died lyrics - Five For Fighting
I woke up
You next to me
You said Good Morning
Are you Free
The sun crept in
For one last time
I was alive the day I died
The clock struck noon
But did not care
I saw a child
In my old chair
A shadow fell across your face
But all the years
Could not erase
I was alive, I was alive
You pulled me close
I held you tight
Though my smiles told a few lies
I was alive the day I died
I was the first to see a star
It seemed so close
It was so far
Wind started to roar
Screamed time to go
You know all you need
You need all you know
I was alive, I was alive
You pulled me close
I held you tight
And though our smiles told a few lies
I was alive the day I died
Oh Sweet Angel you call
Oh Sweet Angel you call
Oh Sweet Angel
White went black
Black went white
Universe cracked
I saw the light
You called my name
I did not respond
But I heard you well
Carried you on
Midnight came and I was gone
The planet shrugged and moved along
A few people noticed and sang my songs
I was alive the day I died
I was alive the day I died
Slice lyrics - Five For Fighting
There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright
Can you imagine that slice of time
Rock and roll was young
People stood in line
To hear music that played into their lives
That you could carry till the day you die
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
Have you read my blog today
300 million little USA's
Your doorstep is just a click away
We'll get together one of these days
How can you be as nice as me
You're not from the same slice as me
Where do we go from here my friend
Is this the way our story ends
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
I can't stop singing along..
Can you join in... come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're top down lovers
It's saturday night
The band's running
And it feels so right
The moon's dancing and the stars are free
I caught your heart on a summer breeze
Whatever was or what's meant to be
Our melodies are memories
There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
I can't stop singing along
Can you join in, come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're more than a slice
We're more than just a slice of American Pie
Note To The Unknown Soldier lyrics - Five For Fighting
I don't know you
I never met you
For laughs I'll call you Sam
You were the son
Of Mrs. Someone
I hope she understands
Sam you were all that you had
Are you happy or sad
I never knew you
But I'm told you're the best we had
Were you so tall
Did you play Basketball
Was there a sweetheart at home
Did you write her letters
Did it make you better face the great unknown
Sam did you feel alone
You were so far from home
I never knew you
But I know you're the best man I know
Could you tell it was time
See it coming in the back of your mind
When it was over, was it over
Sam I'm glad you're on my side
I don't know you
I never met you
Can I call you Sam
Did you have a son
A daughter with a little one
I might go and thank Sam you're the best that we have
You make me happy and sad
If you were here, I'd buy the beers
I'd shake your hand and say good man
And though the sun would shine about the same
It's a better world because you came
Sincerely yours, my kids will know your name
Tuesday lyrics - Five For Fighting
One year like any old other year in a week like any week
Monday lying down, half asleep
People doing what people do, loving, working and getting through
No portraits on the walls of Seventh Avenue
Then Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left, cold addressed in red
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Will she come again?
The thing about memories they're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls, left upon her blade
Is Monday coming back? Well, that's what Mondays do
They turn and turn around afraid to see it through
Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left, cold addressed in red
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Will she come again?
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Cold and dressed in red, how could I forget?
Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
Will she come again?
Chances lyrics - Five For Fighting
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can't change the weather
No act of God could pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to look beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I'd see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me
Eight to five or two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you bring. You gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn out pages
Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascination
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them and all I need
This Dance lyrics - Five For Fighting
This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.
I sense that you are amused,
but you just bought those brand new shoes.
It would such a shame not to give us the chance.
And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
I know at times that you feel alone
when I'm here and I'm never home.
You said before is the price that you pay.
On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.
And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
And oh....
oh...oh...
This is not our favorite song
but I wish it go on and on
it's moments like these
singers do all they can to stop time.
So let me just say to you
before the DJ changes the tune
you put the beautiful in life
you put the beautiful in life.
Above The Timberline lyrics - Five For Fighting
I get a little tired
Looking through the trees
Sitting on the 405
Hoping for a breeze
Everybody's gunning
You got something to see
I gotta sell this ticket
Get the shadow off of me
So what is your problem
You been moping around
You need to find a mountaintop
And get out of this town
She says sometimes
You gotta get away
Clear out that noggin
Open up the day
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Things get slower
When it's harder to breath
I can almost touch the stars
That are hanging over me
You've never been more beautiful
And it's easy to see
All that really matters
You're all I'll ever need
I'm getting to the home
At the top of the world
Leading to realities
Up down at the curb
Oh the noise between us,
Now it can't be heard
I'm listening to the wind
I'm writing down the words
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Now I'll be coming home,
I'll be coming home soon
Before I head on down
I'm gonna kiss the moon
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Above the timberline
No heading up race, no waiting in line
The farther I go
The harder you climb
Love shines bright above the timberline
Transfer lyrics - Five For Fighting
Bought a ticket, destination nowhere
I am going then he smiled
It'd been awhile he said
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
She worked at the transfer station
No last words or consolations
Why I never lied
She cried, goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
He then took her off
He checked his line
The years went by
He found himself best he could find
Then a letter posted nowhere
Regards, I've arrived am doing fine
I missed you mine come save my life
My love, my life
She then put him on
She checked her line
She took her time
And on her heart she relied
Bought a ticket, destination nowhere
I am going then she smiled
It'd been awhile that smile
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
Train pulls into nowhere
There he stands a field of flowers
For his hands my love he cries
I missed you mine, come save my life
She says don't cry was only time
Moves in a line and then she smiled
And said besides I'm just passing bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye love
Bye, bye, bye, bye love
Bye, bye, bye, bye love, goodbye
