Hear My Baby Call lyrics - Cold War Kids

There's a power in your voice or resistance
Send a telepathic thought like a lightning rod
In the distant blue smiling like you do
I will not disappear

When I hear my baby call
When I hear my baby call
When I hear my baby call
No matter what
No matter what

There's an easy way to test you suspicion
Do you only hang around if there's a dollar in it?
Mr. Generous laid out with mistrust
They will not sleep away

When I hear my baby call
When I hear my baby call
When I hear my baby call
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what

More than evil, more than shame the emotion
that we long to understand in your fine happiness
Can you hold on to it if it meant you'd lose
Control of everything else

When I hear my baby call
When I hear my baby call
When I hear my baby call
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what

When I hear my baby call
Reach out to me
Reach out to me

When I hear my baby call
Reach out to me
Reach out to me

When I hear my baby call
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what
Reach out to me [x9]

"Dear Miss Lonelyhearts" (2013)

Miracle Mile lyrics - Cold War Kids

I was supposed to do great things
I know the road was long
But I wasn't raised to shoot for fame
I had the safety on

I cut my ties, I sold my rings
I wanted none of this
If you start from scratch you have to sing
Just for the fun of it

I’d be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to
Come up for air, come up for air

I feel the air upon my face
Forget the mess I'm in
Hold me again, don't count mistakes
I lost track of them

I’d be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to
Come up for air, come up for air

I was in the mud, I was in the dirt
Went underground and I found what I was worth
All alone and I know I cant stay
But we're walking up and down the streets to stay awake

Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up

Get outside, get all over the world
You learn to love what you get in return
It may be a problem and it may be peace of mind
Put your head down down and breathe one breath at a time

Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up

I’d be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to
Come up for air, come up for air

I'd be alright, if I could just see you
A miracle mile, where does it lead to

Lost That Easy lyrics - Cold War Kids

A swollen tongue, a plastic gun
Red burn from an orange sun
These oil rigs will crack and run
These palm trees will be chopped to a stump

I've wandered, seen visions, I never could fit in
I'm out there, you'll find me, I never lost that easy

You imitate, all night stay awake
You study ancient intelligence
It's a lonely life by candlelight
To make believe, you talk to the dead

I've wandered, seen visions, I've gone off the deep end
I'm out there, you'll find me, I never lost that easy

My drunken confession, sick in the bathtub
While you take your make-up off
You take yourself so serious
If we didn't laugh, we're crying all the time

No matter where I've been, I never could fit in
Don't worry where I'll be, I never lost that easy

Loner Phase lyrics - Cold War Kids

They're calling you a genius
Is that why you're acting so competitive
And even if they mean it
Don't let the feeling get to your head

I really wanna call you
Better clean up the mess from the last time we met
The roof is gonna fall through
I'll stay out in the cold all alone instead

[Chorus:]
If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changed
But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

The wine is in the basement
So why can't I hide away to hibernate
I'm sleeping through the moment
And we're so afraid of getting worse with age

[Chorus:]
If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changed
But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

I'm so careful, I got out of the way
I'm so grateful, just to be, just to be able to say

Won't you give me distance
Just swallow the words you put on my plate
And maybe then you'd listen
And I could get out of this one act play
You see me waving my white flag
You see me waving my white flag
Won't you ever wanna take me back
Won't you ever wanna take me back

Fear & Trembling lyrics - Cold War Kids

I want to tell you my thoughts
But my thoughts are scattered like crows

I've done whatever you want
I've gone from a mountain to a mole

I can see all my friends in the mirror
They're holding hands
But they don't recognize past and present
In harmony
Every breath
Fear and trembling
The dark.
Fear and trembling
The dark.

Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown
Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown
Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown
Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown

Tuxedos lyrics - Cold War Kids

I think about eyes that watch you.
I think about changes I've made.
I think about all this fancy food going down the drain.
I spend a lot of time by myself,
Imagining great speeches I'd make
To crowds of people; how can I help?
But what would I say?

When will I find, when will I find someone to take?
Or did I find and not realize, I was the fake.

I love to be a stranger at a wedding.
Cause tuxedos don't discriminate
A perfect disguise, so be cool and fill up your plate.

When will I find, when will I find someone to take?
Or did I find and not realize, I was the fake.
When will I find, when will I find someone to take?
For the millionth time, for the millionth time I was the fake.
I was the fake, I was to blame.

I think about eyes that watch you.
I think about changes I've made.
I think about all this fancy food
Going down the drain, down the drain, down the drain
Going down the drain, down the drain, down the drain
Going down the drain, the drain, the drain, the drain, the drain
Going down the drain

Bottled Affection lyrics - Cold War Kids

I let the bats out, we walked through
The cathedral out in to the moon
Your flashback is airtight
Like an elephant never hurt a fly
Mother instinct, never gonna die

Alright, stay, you got my attention
All my pain is bottled affection

Now it's my turn to play cool
Nothing you can say can even break through
I see the weapons, I pulled out
I met my match, so why am I proud?

I'm not the same kid, I grew up
Didn't I? Or did I get stuck?
You get older, it gets worse
You be the good one that gives it up first
Or the bad one that never gets hurt

Alright, stay, you got my attention
All my pain is bottled affection
Alright, stay, you got my attention
All my pain is bottled affection

My affection, my affection
Pouring out, pouring out
My affection, my affection
Pouring out, pouring out
My affection, my affection

Jailbirds lyrics - Cold War Kids

The sun is rising so late it's early
I have spread myself too thin again
The guest of honor at my guilty party
Me and this silence have become old friends

Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
But for now, you got to keep them young

My solitude, it makes me softer
My suffering is not in vain.
My depression sings, how much longer
Will I have to wait to see a world free from pain?

Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
But for now, you got to keep them young
[x3]

Water & Power lyrics - Cold War Kids

Minus the car, look past the dress
Beyond the pearls, who will protect
Drunk on the stars, shadows evolve
No resume, no diamond lane

Are you willing? Are you brave?
Who could make you feel afraid?

Mean what you say, make your mistakes
Head of silver and gold, your feet crumbling clay
Forever be yours, counting the hours
The salt in the mines and the water is ours
The water is ours, the water is ours, the reservoir

Are you willing, are you brave?
Who could make you feel afraid?
Will you give more than you... give more than you take?
Will you show us what you're... show us what you're made?

Cry and move on
Cry and move on
Cry and move on
Cry and move on

What you're hiding from? You could be fighting, come on.
What you're hiding from? You could be fighting, come on.
What you're hiding from? You could be fighting, come on.
What you're hiding from? You could be fighting, come on.
What you're hiding from? You could be fighting, come on.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts lyrics - Cold War Kids

Wonder why you don't like April?
Wonder why you hate the spring?
Wonder why you don't like April?
Oh why won't you sing?

"My boyfriend he gets around, he does favors for Leo downtown
They didn't know it would be a set up, cops surround
That was when we started fighting, that was when I moved out
That was just the beginning, look at me now"

Oh my poor woman!
Water is for for fish like air is for men
You can't fight against the law
Of good times never call
On you because the good times never call
When you're waiting by the phone
The good times never call
On you unless you do it too.
Unless you do it too.
Unless you do it too...

I have given up explaining sorrow,
Oh I have given up on my hotel
I'm up here dancing like a martyr
But I have given up on casting spells
Oh I have given
Miss Lonelyhearts
Miss Lonelyhearts
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts

"Miss Lonelyhearts you've got to help me,
I have tried most everything
Short of my head in the oven,
Short of drinking kerosene"

Oh I have given
I have given
I have given

Bitter Poem lyrics - Cold War Kids

And even if it's who you really are, you really are,
You wanna feel wanted
And even if it's true you really are, who you really are,
Then I'll look above you.

I'm out of advice, umbrellas wash away in the rain
I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

And even when you lose, you pushed us all, you pushed us all,
A little bit further.
Reminded me of you as I'm nodding off, as I'm nodding off
In a massage parlor.

I don't even know whose side I'm on, are both sides the same?
I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

And even if it's you who ratted on, who ratted on, your only brother
You're purple and you're blue
Is it chemical imbalance or some other struggle?
Nobody's to blame, can't use force
Take me to court, cause I couldn't love you
Nobody could use you if you want, use if you want, ain't it fun?

But I'm out of advice, umbrellas wash away in the rain
I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

And even though it's late the promise stands; it doesn't fade.
And even if it's true you often find the best laid plans,
Will fall down broken all around you now.

Oh I can't hear you!
Are you talking to me?
Now I can't hear you!
Did you say that you're happy for me?
Did you say, did you say,
Did you say that you're happy for me?
Did you say, did you say,
Did you say that you're happy for me?

"Mine Is Yours" (2011)

Mine Is Yours lyrics - Cold War Kids

You were changin' colours like the leaves in fall
I was savin' up for the long winter
Summers wind, hideout in my car
When it broke down we didn't care
We'd figure out another way to get me there

Mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours

A realistic love runs out of room
I try to talk big but my mouth don't move
Cuz I don't own the sun I don't own the moon
They only come out when they want to
They don't care whether I promised you
They only come out when they want to
They don't care whether I promised

What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours

You wanna fight about it
You wanna fight about it
You wanna fight about it
Come on, Come on
I made you cry about it
I made you cry about it
I made you cry about it
Come on, Come on
There was no other way
To let you in here to stay
We had to give it away
Come on, Come on
And when we come up for air
And when we come up now we know

All my stones become your pearls
All of my trials are your treasures

All my dead you inherit
All of my?crimson? lines will shine

Cuz Mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours
What is mine is yours is yours is yours is yours

Louder Than Ever lyrics - Cold War Kids

All my windows were barred,
The sun made stripes of shades
I was sitting round like a zombie feedin my own face

I was carrying my cheek, I was digging my strange
I was taken you for granted
You were holding the rains

[Chorus]
But I can hear you louder than ever
Whisper to me, help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together
I can hear you louder than ever

It’s a slippery slope, like that mouse trap game
Inside my television you slept on my train

[Chorus]
But I can hear you louder than ever
Whisper to me, help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together
I can hear you louder than ever

I don’t wanna ignore
You were the past of my feelings
But probably gonna get out of this just
Hear me out anyway
The darkness knockin' and now I’m down in on all my promises
Don’t try to pull me out of this
Just lay down by me and wait

[Chorus]
I can hear you louder than ever
Whisper to me, help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together
I can hear you louder than ever

I can hear you louder than ever
[repeat]
