Drag your heart up to the starting line... Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time...

This town was our lovers' stage
But now you can't recognise
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes

You can't find your bearings
You're slipping into the ground
The scene has no colour and no sound

Do you still believe in me
After the things I've done?

Do you fear for what we have become?

The ground is uneven
We stumble from day to day
But shelter where it's easy
I know your feet are like lead
But you've got to get underway

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me

Each heart is a paper kite
Blown around by the breeze
Love won't rest till it brings you to your knees

Some find it easy
Some will never even know
You think you've done your journey
Then you stumble and find that there's such
A long way to go

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
You want to be lost and not be found
But let's take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me

Girl I still believe in you
You're too good to fall so low
We're going to find a better life I know

Things will be clearer
And soon as we make a start
We'll be that much nearer
We're too old to just stand here
Waiting to break apart

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me

The Starting Line - Keane

Is this the place we used to love?Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go, So why don't we go...

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know...


Somewhere only we know - Keane

The last time you fall on me for anything you like...

This is the last time

That I will say these words

I remember the first time

The first of many lies

Sweep it into the corner

Or hide it under the bed

Say these things they go away

But they never do

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I, no I don't mind

This is the last time

That I will show my face

One last tender lie

And then I'm out of this place

Tread it into the carpet

Or hide it under the stairs

Say that some things never die

Well I tried and I tried

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I, no I don't mind

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I, no I don't mind

This is the last time - Keane

...Say a word or two to brighten my day...

I don't wanna be adored
Don't wanna be first in line
Or make myself heard
I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life
To make you feel loved

No, don't wanna be the only one you know
I wanna be the place you call home

I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
I give much more
Than I'd ever ask for

Will you see me in the end
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little light
Shine a light on my life
Warm me up again

Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple

I lay myself down
To make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for

Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way

To lay yourself down
And make it so, but you don't want to know
You take much more
Than I'd ever ask for


Hamburg song - Keane.

And why do you lie, when you wanna die, when you hurt inside

A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
why do you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?

And why do you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say?
And why do you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line

And why do you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why do you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

Nothing in my way - Keane

We might as well be strangers in another town..

I don't know your face no more

Or feel your touch that I adore

I don't know your face no more

It's just a place I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a different world

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days

We're strangers in an empty space

I don't understand your heart

It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a another time

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well be strangers

Be strangers

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know

We might as well be strangers - Keane
