All the places we grew up withPlaying hide and seekDisappearing while we all sleep
And it's something we've got to get used toAnd it's something we've got to get used to
Oh hurricaneOh hurricane
All the millions that we marched withIt never made a soundNever made a sound on your lips
And it's something we've got to get used toBut we're not giving up the coastline so easily
Oh hurricaneOh hurricane
I don't want to runI've been here since I was youngWhat we see todayCould be gone within the hourOh HurricaneWhat you gonna do to us this time?Oh HurricaneWhat you gonna do to us this time?
And it's something we've got to get used toAnd it's something we've got to get used toAnd it's something we've got to get used toWe're not giving up the coastline so easily Oh Hurricane

I am TokyoI am hereI am blazing lightson your street.
I'm an upstartBound to cross youI'm the hypocriteBy your side
She won't forgetAnd I won't forget
And no one around could tell us apartCause we were one mouthand one robot heart
I am TokyoI am hereI am neon signson your street
I'm an armyof wind turbinesMarching over your countryside
And she won't forgetAnd I won't forget
And no one around could tell us apartCause we were one mouthAnd one robot heart.
There's never enough timeOnly, onlyA glare off rainbow bridge.
Pin prick to the heartAgain and againI felt every spark
And no one around could tell us apartCause we were one mouth and one robot heart
We're burning through town like there's nothing to loseCause we were one mouth and one robot heart

Just a blur of red and yellowLovers dancing to the beatI saw you at the center of it allThe most beautiful thingOh I wanna take you home with me tonightI wanna take you home with me tonightIt's on my head to rememberIt's on my head to forgetThat we used you for nothingAnd we couldn't care less
Oh beautiful worldCan I win you back?Beautiful worldHave you figured it out yet?Have you figured it out yet?So why don't you share it with us
Just a blur of red and yellowThat everyone chose to ignoreWe all sucked that beauty from youAnd kept coming back for more
Oh beautiful worldCan I win you back?Beautiful worldHave you figured it out yet?Have you figured it out yet?So why don't you share it with us
Oh beautiful worldCan I win you back?Beautiful worldHave you figured it out yet?Have you figured it out yet?So why don't you share it with us

It's not your faultYou didn't see it coming90 miles an hourGone so fast and now you're left with nothingAt all.
It's not your faultI give up every part of youThat they could spareMixed between the petrolAnd the one lieAnd it's code
Their still in your eyesAnd now that your gone to some place elseI can't save youBecause the brightest lights are closing in on us.
But their still your eyesAnd now that your gone to some place elseI can't save youSo I'm giving every part of you away.
It's not your faultSomethingYou made up to your bedroom every nightLeaves us chasing memories and trying to understandWe can't wait
But their still eyesAnd now that your gone to some placeI can't save youBecause the brightest lights are closing in on us.
But their still your eyesAnd now that your gone to some place elseI can't save youSo I'm giving every part of you away.
I'm not goneWhat the hell just happened here?I'm not goneWhat the hell just happened?

We can walk in straight linesWe can't see quite rightWe've lost the plotAnd we can't get it backSo let's lose ourselvesLet's lose ourselves
Can you spot the English here?
Let's pick a fight on whomever we likeCause we're never wrongNobody likes usWe don't careSo let's lose ourselvesLet's lose ourselves
Can you spot the English here?
We can see it for realBut it doesn't make senseWe're the outsidersWe can see all this speechCome staggering outAnd we can climb its wayTo the top of that cloud
I'm away with the fairies nowI'm away with the fairies nowI'm away with the fairies nowI'm away with the fairies now
This familiar environmentGets my lungs confusedI breathe in every particleThat you drive thruThat you drive thru
Well can you spot the English here?
We can see it for realBut it doesn't make senseWe're the outsidersWe can see all this speechCome staggering outAnd it can its way to the topOf that cloud
Oh I'm away with the fairies nowI'm away with the fairies nowI'm away with the fairies nowI'm away with the fairies now

I belong with your arms wrapped around my neckYour lips glistening in the lightI've seen headlights passing byHold the thoughtI hold the thoughtWalking back towards your houseRain drops bouncing off the leavesDown to our September kiss
Flying over bus stops and playgroundsI'm here soaked right to the coreI'll stay here foreverI'm safe with you
If all the words I ever wroteOn the back of envelopesI could fold into paper planesI could fly them through your veinsHelicopters overheadWide awake at 3amNow the ink runs to your heartAnd you know just how I feel
Flying over bus stops and playgroundsI'm here soaked right to the coreI'll stay here foreverI'm safe with you
Flying over bus stops and playgroundsI'm here soaked right to the coreI'll stay here foreverI'm safe with you
And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...And it's gotta be here...

Put your finger on my lipsWe could be a grown up fairytaleSwimming in the libraryBut we're not going anywhereShe said I love itOh I love it when we touchWhen we touch on somethingWe can't find in any book
At least I'm not on my ownIn this ocean of wordsAt least I'm not on my own
We cover up with blanketsCover up with blankets from the yearsThat our parents gave usTo keep out the cold and the unknownThen the library grewInto a forest of desireCut down some friends that I knewWho were gonna start a forest fire
At least I'm not on my ownIn this ocean of wordsAt least I'm not on my own
At least I'm not on my ownIn this ocean of wordsAt least I'm not on my own
She said I love itOh I love it when we touchWhen we touch on somethingWe can't find in any book

He sees the flames in her tearsSketching on her skin and he knowsThat it's come to an endAnd it's no point pretending it's not
And it's a long way down, a long way down from hereAnd it's a long way down, a long way down from here
So she smashes the glassAnd there's blood on her hands and her skirtThere's the wind and a sun,a fresh air in her lungs once again
And it's a long way down, a long way down from hereAnd it's a long way down, a long way down from here
So he closes his eyesAnd thinks 'Maybe I'll be surprised if I doI just might fall into another realmAnd make another home there with you'
And it's a long way down, a long way down from hereAnd it's a long way down, a long way down from here
It's best not to think about itJust put your arms around me
It's best not to think about itJust put your arms around me
It's best not to think about itJust put your arms around me, oh
