1 x 1 lyrics - Cold War Kids (feat. Wesley Schultz)

In a flash of sleep

The dream that broke my heart

There were no border lines

Keeping us apart

But then I wake up

To the sound of crying kids

No mothers here to hold

We can only wish

So I'll sing you a song

To show you my mind

Its all that I can do

To help us pass the time

One by one

We will come

You make me wait

Counting my mistakes

One by one

We will come

You make me wait

At the gate

To see your face again

Walked a thousand miles

To this promised land

Little did we know

We were already damned

How can I find sleep

When they wont turn off the light

My stomachs rumbling

No more dreams tonight

I'll sing you a song

Cuz I'm so far down

The hardest thing to do

Make a joyful sound

One by one

We will come

You make me wait

Counting my mistakes

One by one

We will come

You make me wait

At the gate

To see your face again

One by one

We will come

One by one

One by one

You make me wait

Counting my mistakes

One by one

One by one

We will come

You make me wait

You make me wait

Counting my mistakes

Freedom lyrics - Cold War Kids

(originally by George Michael)

All white as snow and black as night

You know you can't give up the fight

There with the stars up in the sky

The angel band sings by and by

I want to walk, I can't sit down

I want the road, I want the crown

Fear not the day when all is lost

This earthly wealth ain't worth the cost

Shadows and lights in pair that cling

Allow your soul the right to sing

All through the night, the moon will shine

The whispers heard defeat the time

Allowed to be with feasting eyes

And life alone, it is the prize

And all the things you thought you knew

Accuse the sky of being blue

Freedom from these trials in this troubled world below

Freedom from these trials in this troubled world below

Heaven In Your Hands lyrics - Cold War Kids

In the land of the plenty, your cup is empty

So tired but waiting your turn

You tried being clever, down for whatever

How many times you've been burned

Now with random statistics, detached and cryptic

You only see the bad signs

The system is failing, can't stop despairing

Nothing is changing your mind

There's a moment when you got to ask

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

When your walls come down and the lights go up

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

Cast out and hopeless, we were the closest

When did everything change

Is it lack of religion that makes you willing

You spin like a whirlpool there

So shout what you're feeling, truth is revealing

There's so much beauty that remains

There's a moment when you got to ask

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

When your walls come down and the lights go up

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

There's a moment when you got to ask

What if heaven was to, what if heaven was to

There's a moment when you got to ask

There's a moment when you got to say what you want

Whoever it hurts, whatever the cost

When the love that you need is so hard to find

Get up off your knees and reach for the sky

There's a moment when you got to ask

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

When your walls come down and the lights go up

When your walls come down and the lights go up

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

When your walls come down and the lights go up

What if heaven was to fall right in your hands

Locker Room Talk lyrics - Cold War Kids (feat. Reggie Watts)

Locker room talk

I can't believe

You think you're gonna get around it

Dirt in your mouth

Mic on the sleeve

We all heard how it sounded

So many lies

Ya think that its true

Try walking on water

With a brick

In your shoes

You're gonna end up

Drowning

Ya conquer the small

To live like a king

From way up in your tower

Show us your hand

We know you're just bluffing

You got no real power

Keeping your word

Don't mean a thing

All your friends

Turn in to enemies

How could you be grounded

The hate in your heart

Everybody can see

Your head is hollow, man

You ain't fit to lead

Lets stand up and be counted

Minimum Mistake lyrics - Cold War Kids

Remember when I saw a movie 'bout the rapture

Strange '70s zombie movie eschatology

One day the non-believers woke to alarm clocks

Empty houses, barking dogs

Half the human race was gone

Oh, the minimum day

The minimum day

Took them away

I left feeling terrified

Ripped me a new behind

What happened to the people on a plane if the pilot might

Spontaneously disappear

When it goes down for real

The motherless babies and the quixotic teenagers cry

Oh, the minimum day

The minimum day

Take me away

The minimum day

The minimum day

Take me away

Once upon a time even Tom needed proof (Peter)

And Peter would sell you out

Deep down Judas was a sweet kid

James had the nerve to ask you for a VIP

I look around and say

On my hands, no I can't hide 'em

On my knees, no I can't stand 'em

On my hands, no I can't hide 'em

On my knees

On my time, on that day

I'm sorry sugar but speaking's a mistake

On my time, on that day

I'm sorry sugar but speaking's a mistake

On my time, on that day

I'm sorry sugar but speaking's a mistake

I might as well just lay down and die

Ah

I might as well just lay down and die

I might as well just lay down and die

I might as well just lay down and die

I might as well just lay down and die

(I might as well just lay down and die)

Opium Tea lyrics - Cold War Kids

(originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)

Here I sleep the morning through

'Til the wail of the call to prayer awakes me

And there is nothing at all to do

But rise and follow the day wherever it takes me

I stand at the window and I look at the sea

And I am what I am and what will be will be

I stand at the window and I look at the sea

And I make me a pot of opium tea

Down at the port I watch the boats come in

Watching the boats come in can do somethin' to ya

And the kids gather 'round with an outstretched hand

And I toss them a dirham or two

Well, I wonder if my children are thinking of me

'Cause I am what I am and what will be will be

I wonder if my kids are thinking of me

And I smile and I sip my opium tea

At night the sea lashes the red rust ramparts

In the shapes of hooded men who pass me

And the moan and the wind laughs and laughs and laughs

The strange lot that fate has cast me

The cats on the rampart sing merrily

That he is what he is and what will be will be

The cats on the rampart sing merrily

And I sit and I drink my opium tea

I'm a prisoner here, I can never go home

There is nothing here to win or lose

There are no choices need to be made at all

Not even the choice of havin' to choose

But I'm a prisoner yes, but I'm also free

'Cause I am what I am and what will be will be

I'm a prisoner here but I'm also free

And I smile and I sip my opium tea

Past Life lyrics - Arkells & Cold War Kids

Feeling like I'm falling

I've been getting uptight

Staring at the ceiling

Trying to get it just right

You know what's on my mind

I can't look you in the eye

I'm getting on the freeway

Underneath the night sky

I'm a little wallflower

Singing 'One Headlight'

Looking for a sign

Superstitions make me blind

I'm sick of running from a past life

I don't care about the next one

Am I running from the moment?

Or the city where I come from?

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger

Don't recognize the voice inside my head

Cuz I've been running from a past life

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live this life instead

Today I saw my reflection

In a broken window

Gave me a flashback

Crying in my pillow

It's not my first time

On this rodeo ride

Because I never got to be young

I was born an old soul

I feel like Bob Dylan's son

Always in the shadows

I've gotta find my own

Way to write a song

I'm sick of running from a past life

I don't care about the next one

Am I running from the moment?

Or the city where I come from?

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger

Don't recognize the voice inside my head

Cuz I'm running from a past life

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live this life instead

Can we take back

All these lies that

Added up to wasted

Years and wasted time

Let's make it right

Here in this life

After all we've been through

There's nothing left to lose

I'm sick of running from a past life (Running from a past life)

I don't care about the next one (I don't care about the next one)

Am I running from the moment? (Am I running from the moment?)

Or the city where I come from? (Or the city where I come from?)

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger (Feeling like a stranger)

Don't recognize the voice inside my head

Cuz I've been running from a past life (Running from a past life)

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live this life instead

I wanna live, I wanna live this life instead

I wanna live, I wanna live this life instead

I wanna live, I wanna live this life, live this life

Sick of running from a past life

I'm sick of running, sick of running from a past life

Romance Languages #1 lyrics - Cold War Kids

(from "Dallas Buyers Club" soundtrack)

I have never had a devastating loss

Watch over me, when my bell rings

I would rather be lucky than smart

Blow me a rode so I can blow rings

I'm exhausted by romance

I was lost in the languages

Guardian angel what do you see?

I have tripped on all your signs

I would rather give blood than make art

Your so mysterious when your light shines

I'm exhausted by romance

I was lost in the languages

I'm exhausted by romance

I was lost I was lost in the languages

I'm exhausted by romance

Teachers, teachers for twenty odd years

My head balloned you tried to pierce my ears

Preachers, preachers send them in so well

They can't compare, to the women I sells

I'm exhausted by romance

I was lost in the languages

I'm exhasted by romance

I was lost, I was lost in the languages

I'm exhausted by romance

I'm exhausted by romance

I'm exhausted by romance

I'm exhausted by romance

Story Of Our Lives lyrics - Cold War Kids

(from "Bill & Ted Face The Music" soundtrack)

I'm getting older but I don't feel like

I've got all the answer like I know I'm right

If anything I think I know less now

We can't even agree on if the world is round

Took me for granted, I could understand

This ain't a situation you got yourself in

I kept watching you from the sidelines

I didn't do nothing while you sat there crying

I'm here to listen, how could I help out

I'm the one who needs to get my heart broke now

I'm moving slow but I can't be fixed

Tell me what did I miss?

The story of our lives

In the end it's just you and me

I used to live and I had too much

Thought I couldn't really make a difference

Now it feels like the eleventh hour

Feels like it's time to give up my power

I'm here to listen, how could I help out

I'm the one who needs to get my heart broke now

I'm moving slow but I can't be fixed

Tell me what did I miss?

That's why I need you tonight

I feel like I'm gonna lose my way

The story of our lives

In the end it's just you and me

Can you hear me now?

So now you opened by eyes

I feel like I'm gonna lose my way

The story of our lives

In the end it's just you and me

I wanna tell you the story of our lives

Story of our lives

Even after the music fades

The story of our lives

The story of our lives

The story of our lives

But can you tell me the story of our lives

Ooh, can you hear me now?

Can you hear me, can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?

Vacation In Chicago lyrics - Cold War Kids

I kiss the kids at noon

Then stumble out the room

I caught a cab

Ran up a tab on 7th and Flower

Best recital I had to run

Missed my son's graduation

Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat

He gets all that anger from me

Still thing could be much worse

Natural disaters on the evening news

Still things could be much worse

We still got our health

My paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink aslong as I lived

But even then

It sounds so soothing

This will blow over in time

This will all blow over in time

I'm just an honest man

Provide for me and mine

I give a cheque to tax deductable charity organisations

Two weeks paid vaction won't heal the damage done

I need another one

Still things could be much worse

Natural disaters on the evening news

Still things could be much worse

We still got our health

My paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink as long as I lived

But even then, it sounds so soothing to mix a gin

And sink into oblivion

I promised to my wife and children

That accident left everyone a little sup

But at the meetings I felt so empty

This will blow over in time

This will all blow over in time

What You Say (Remix) lyrics - Cold War Kids (feat. Zella Day)

Another, what this song, like

Another, what this song, like

Another

Do you have something specific?

Oh yeah

I've been working my whole life to cover

Afraid to speak my mind from judgement

So let's shake it up this time, be honest

I'm not ashamed of what I love in the darkness

When the stars realign, we are gonna let it shine

I'm waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the tide to pull me in

I'm waiting 'til I find the one

Someone who will take me as I am

If I show you that I'm soft, I worry

So I let the gloves come off in a hurry

The taste of my own blood is salty

But I'll fight for what I love 'cause I'm worthy

It's all the silly little fears that break

If you got time to think

I'm feeling all the ways

Are you feeling all the ways?

When the stars realign, we are gonna let it shine

I'm waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the tide to pull me in (What you say)

I'm waiting 'til I find the one

Someone who will take me as I am (What you say)

I'm waiting for the night to come

I've waited all my life

I'll shout it from the rooftops

When I'm looking in your eyes

I'm waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the night to begin

Saving, saving (Saving, ooh)

Saving my love for ya (Saving my love for you)

Saving, saving (Saving, ooh)

Saving my love for ya

I'm waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the tide to pull me in

I'm waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the night to begin (What you say)

I'm waiting for the night to come

I've waited all my life

I'll shout it from the rooftops

When I'm looking in your eyes

I'm waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the night to begin (What you say)

(What you say)

Waiting for the night to come

I'm waiting for the night to begin
