Far Away - Nickelback


This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Well they call me William The Pleaser
I sold opium, fireworks and lead
Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers
When the shadows get long I'll be dead

Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar
Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone
I left Texas to follow Lucinda
Now I'll never see heaven or home

I made a wish on sliver of moonlight
A sly grin and a bowl full of stars
Like a kid who captures a firefly
And leaves it only to die in the jar

As I kick at the clouds at my hanging
As I swing out over the crowd
I will search every face for Lucinda
And she will off with me down to hell

I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda
The rain returned and so did the wind
I cast this burden on the god that's within me
I leave this old world and go free

The devil dances inside empty pockets
But she didn’t want money or pearls
No, that wasn't enough for Lucinda
She wasn't that kind of girl

Now I've fallen from grace for Lucinda
Whoever thought that hell would be so cold
I did well for an old tin can sailor
But she wanted the bell in my soul

I've spoken to God on the mountain
And I've swam in the Irish sea
I ate fire and drank from the Ganges
And I'll beg there for mercy for me

I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda
The rain returned and so did the wind
I was standing outside the Whitehorse
Oh but I was afraid to go in

I heard someone pull the trigger
Her breasts heaved in the moonlight again
There was a smear of gold in the window
And then I was the jewel of her sin

They call me William The Pleaser
I sold opium, fireworks and lead
Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers
When the shadows get long I'll be dead

Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar
Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone
I left Texas to follow Lucinda
I know I'll never see heaven or home

Child In Time lyrics
Songwriters: Blackmore, Ritchie; Gillan, Ian; Glover, Roger David; Lord, Jon; Paice, Ian Anderson;

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah

Sweet child in time,time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying they're killing everyone

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
I need [Incomprehensible]

The Only Living Boy In New York City - Simon and Garfunkel

Tom, get your plane ride on time
I know your part'll go fine
Fly down to Mexico
Don-da-darlin' oh don-da-darlin' here I am
The only living boy in New York

I get the news I need on the weather report
Oh, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile
Don-da-darlin' oh don-da-darlin' here I am
The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where
We don't know where
Here I am
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where
We don't know where

Tom, get your plane ride on time
I know that you'll be able to fly now
Hey, let your honesty shine shine shine
Now don-da-darlin' don-da-darlin'
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York
The only living boy in New York

Here I am

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

1000 miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

Hello Rising!,

I'm back ....

Well, this is my fav song ever:



yes.

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear.

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasteland
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay
yeah
(...)

Oasis is OKAY...
Greenday?- not good...
Sum41????????????? no way. It absolutely sucks,

For some reason I sense you disagree with my music preference. Lol

Anyway Nope, Rise Against is better than fine.
Because well, err, umm, yeah, they just are!
It’s made a username out of me anyway.

Oasis is like awwwwwesomeness.

Green Day is *drools*

And sum 41 and 30 seconds to mars are just plain and simply *in a high pitched voice* aaaaaaaawwwwwweeeeesssooooommmmeeeeeeee.

You are a baby!!! I understand.


You see- Spira- she's the goddess of art. check her profile out. And learn.
... HAHA!-

If you are still looking for trouble- RisinEvil, u know where to find me. We'd been at war once, we can go to war again. heh

[edit on 27/6/10 by plutoxgirl]

Oh great, Now there’s 2 members against me.

This is deffo a Conspiracy!

You see- Spira- she's the goddess of art.

check her profile out. And learn.
... HAHA!-

No argument there.



Just music preference may need a tweak but that's all.

Anyway younger bands are still soooooooooooooooo much better than the older stuff, I mean we sound original, we're actually making new stuff all the time, and we're not so old that we actually knew Death when we was still alive! lol

Younger newer stuff FTW! lol

And if it’s a war you want Pluto then you know where to find me. lol (never said that before) I surrendered last time but not this time.

reply to post by Rising Against


not against - just ahead :-)

Just music preference may need a tweak but that's all

just so we're clear - you do mean yours - right?

now, about Ms. Pluto - there's just too much to say about our glorious goddess of the underworld...

And if it’s a war you want Pluto then you know where to find me. lol (never said that before) I surrendered last time but not this time.

[edit on 28-6-2010 by Rising Against]

Free like the river
Flowin' freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Tickin' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called

Me having nothin'
But possessing riches more than all
And I'm free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shinning through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that's the infinite start

I'm gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart

Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see

Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes

I'm free like a river
Flowin' freely to infinity
I'm free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not be
I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that
crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity
