Love Is Mystical lyrics - Cold War Kids

And when my heart won't break
An empty space between my lungs
And when my knees won't shake
I'll drink to find inspiration
Cause I'm a red blooded man
But I can't see behind the sun
(I can't see behind the sun)
A supernatural plan
Is coming to meet me now

Living life with no need for the brakes
Something happens when I lean on my mistakes

Love is mystical
Love will break the chains
You might feel invincible
And you might be afraid
Light in darkness will show you the way
Give you the power to believe again

Cause I'm a rational man
And I can see how far I've come
(I can see how far I've come)
But I don't know where to stand
Or who's coming to meet me now

Living life with no need for the brakes
Something happens when I lean on my mistakes
If the words are true
And the words reveal the same
I come alive when I don't even think

Love is mystical
Love will break the chains
You might feel invincible
And you might be afraid
Light in darkness will show you the way
Give you the power to believe again

Oh, can't you hear the future is calling
For heaven's sake
It's either hell or high water
Let's get outta this place
I feel your skeptical eyes
On my mental state
I lift my hands to the sky
And I lower the stakes, oh yeah
And I lower the stakes, oh yeah
And I lower the stakes

Love is mystical
Do you feel the same?
Love is irresistible
It's calling out your name
Light in darkness will show you the way
Give you the power to believe again
Give you the power to believe again
Give you the power to believe again
Give you the power to believe again
Give you the power to believe again

To believe again
To believe again

Can We Hang On? lyrics - Cold War Kids

I come here nine times asking you to not make it ten
I'm peeling off all the honor and protecting my skin
Apologize, I'm laying down my ego to rest
Would you be mine forever? Just in case it exists

I think about the old days
What we didn't do to survive
Do we get better with time?
Tell me I'm wrong

Looking back to the start who we were when we met
This box of pictures tells a story when we fight, we forget
And I can barely recognize those back that we were obsessed
Can't cut out this madness and get back to the best

Think about the old days
What we didn't do to survive
Do we get better with time?
Tell me I'm wrong
I'm looking to your old ways
We follow the same dotted line
Passing like ships in the night
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?

This could've gone either way if one of us had walked
If I'd gone off, and you'd caved in
And we broke it off, I'd be lost
I'd be chasing some broke down dream
I'd be bored to death
But we cannot stay forever young and out of our heads
Out of our heads

I think about tomorrow
If I can get through tonight
I know that we'll be alright
Can we be strong?
I'm looking to your old ways
Even though we like ships in the night
Don't you go passing me by
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?
Can we hang on?

You can't find it
If you're dying to live
If you want to know the secret, hang on
You can't find it
If you're dying to live
If you want to know the secret, hang on
You can't find it
If you're dying to live
If you want to know the secret, hang on

So Tied Up lyrics - Cold War Kids (feat. Bishop Briggs)

You can't cut me loose until you show me
I told you the truth about the old me
And now you use confession as the proof
Do what you have to do
Go ahead and act the fool

What if in the end
You want so bad to forgive
But you cannot forget

So (so tied up)
We've been here before
So (so tied up)
You want something more
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
You know I won't let you get away

I get you to swerve right outta fast lane
You still got champagne running through your veins
You dare me to step up and challenge you
Neither one of us can stand to lose
Stand to lose

Remember we said it'd be like after the rain
Washes away our sins
They never said that love is a twisted game
And no one ever wins

So (so tied up)
We've been here before
So (so tied up)
You want something more
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
You know I won't let you get away

So so, so tied up
So, so, so, so tied up
So so, so tied up
So, so, so, so tied up

You threw me a rope
Opposites attract
I'm self absorbed and you're superficial
We round each other up
Being true to yourself could never be enough

(So so, so tied up)
I tried to let go
(So, so, so, so tied up)
We've been here before
Lover, best friend, my worst enemy
You know I won't let you get away

So tied up
So tied up
So tied up
So tied up

Restless lyrics - Cold War Kids

People wonder, people talk
We're supposed to settle down
How we ever got this far
Without our feet touching the ground
What time is it now where you are?
We follow beats with different drums
We're looking at the same star
It is a talent staying young

So why you think we both
Run around in circles
Walk through fire
Nothing hurts us

Every mountain you climb takes you further away
All the common lifetime, every day
No, we can't help it
We're always restless
Now you're wired and you're tired
There is never a break
You only come alive at the thrill of the chase
No, we can't help it
We're always restless

Try to keep it all up in the air
You ruin it when you ask why
You know it's not that I don't care
I don't get jealous, I get free
Everything good comes back to me
It seems like wherever you are
Is just a better place to be

So why you think we both
Run around in circles
Will you meet me
In the middle?

Every mountain you climb takes you further away
All the common lifetime, every day
No, we can't help it
We're always restless
Now you're wired and you're tired
There is never a break
You only come alive at the thrill of the chase
No, we can't help it
We're always restless

We already know the ending
When the credits roll down slow
I'll hurry back
I'll hurry back
I'll hurry back
To you

Every mountain you climb takes you further away
All the common lifetime, every day
No, we can't help it
We're always restless
Now you're wired and you're tired
There is never a break
You only come alive at the thrill of the chase
No, we can't help it
We're always restless

I'll hurry back
I'll hurry back
I'll hurry back
(Restless, restless, I feel restless)
I'll hurry back (restless)
I'll hurry (restless) back
(I feel) I'll hurry (restless) back
(I feel restless)
(Restless, restless)

LA River lyrics - Cold War Kids

On the LA river
On the LA river
I know it's familiar

But tell me why you wanna stay in New York
Why you wanna stay in New York
[?]

And you can't find the right chord
On the LA river
On the LA river
Come on, come on, come on
On the LA river

No Reason To Run lyrics - Cold War Kids

In the mirror I see my face
I've got to let this go
What if all my decisions are fear based?
What if I lose control?
I'm asking for an intervention
I've tried to fly solo
It's not a question of whether I will fall, it's how hard I hit the floor

When did I feel it?
How did I know that you were the one?
I am defeated
I got no reason to run, no reason to run

I wanna be proud of your movement
Somebody sign me up
Have you ever felt so authentic?
Like you belong to the world
Freedom is overrated
I'm not gonna come undone
I can't lose my motivation
Laying out, day in the sun

When did I feel it?
How did I know that you were the one?
I am defeated
I got no reason to run, no reason to run

Don't wanna hear your praise
Don't reminisce on glory days
Bite the tears, yeah I'm okay
I'm like a crow
Man-to-man
Walking out of my cage
I have evolved like a fish growing legs
Hope you like a light hole crept in my brain
I am changed, yeah I have changed
I got you
And I'm never gonna be the same

When did I feel it? (When did I feel it?)
How did I know that you were the one?
I am defeated (I am defeated)
I got no reason to run, no reason to run

Stay by my side
No reason to run
So we're in love, so alive
No reason to run
Stay by my side
No reason to run
So we're in love, so alive
No reason to run
Stay by my side
No reason to run
So we're in love, so alive
I got no reason to run
Stay by my side
No, no reason to run
So we're in love, so alive
No reason to run

Open Up The Heavens lyrics - Cold War Kids

Secrets ain't no good
Their dyes keep on lying
I'm like Robin Hood
I've made myself an island
I'm hiding in the shade
I go dark on summer days
This is the price of my freedom

Cars, boats, airplanes
I'm bored, insane

Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do

No I'm not looking back no more
The past is close behind
I [?]
The passport and the driver
My job is laying low
Camouflage, filming gold
In disguise at the border

Cars, boats, airplanes
I'm bored, insane

Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do

Open up the heavens, we're kicking down the gate
Ask you real, real nice
Will you let us stay?
Open up the heavens, we're kicking down the gate
You smile real, real wide
Then slap us in the face

Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do

Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do

Open up the heavens, kicking down the gate
We're asking real, real nice
Will you let us stay?
Open up the heavens, kicking down the gate
You smile real, real wide
Then slap us in the face

Invincible lyrics - Cold War Kids

Detached from the violence
Paradise, we're chilled to the bone
It only takes a moment of silence
We stare in disbelief at our phones

We cried out for justice
Now it's just a fairytale
Box in our cars on Christmas
Is it just a wasted prayer?

And no
I don't feel invincible anymore

What can I get closer for?
From my bed
I can't feel your suffering
I'm seeing red
Can't get you out of my head
Can't get you out of my head

Your beautiful body
Watching arrows fall from above
What if we attack like an army?
The only weapon we use is love

And no
I don't feel invincible anymore

What can I get closer for?
From my bed
I can't feel your suffering
I'm seeing red
Can't get you out of my head
Can't get you out of my head

Oh
I don't feel invincible
Invincible
I don't feel invincible
Invincible
Invincible
I don't feel invincible
Invincible

What are we still talking about?
What you said
Nothing is shocking
Can't get you out of my head
Invincible
Can't get you out of my head
Invincible
Can't get you out of my head

Wilshire Protest lyrics - Cold War Kids

I am marching with the protest
I got so much to say, but I'm only here to witness
There's a war inside my head
And I'm surrendering to weakness
We're separated by steel and glass
In traffic trapped on the freeway, every body is a DJ
Looking down at our phones for the fastest way to get home
Don't text me there should be no king
I can wait
My chemical's are spiking like a lie detector
Dopamine, serotonin, happiness is not the answer
We dream of being a true spirit
We are divided by false Gods and hyped up leaders
We binge on the [?] on the bleachers
We worship talent, but we don't see if anybody can even see it
First you must believe it
So keep your nosebleed seats
I'd rather be irrelevant
What if I crossover and nobody remembers it?
Will we stay together?
Even if I never get discovered?
This is the west coast where dreams will make a line
This is the promise land, the gold rush

Luck Down lyrics - Cold War Kids

We're fireworks
We shoot so high
But tell me what becomes of the rising sun
It burns before it shines

Now the same thing happens every time
And now the same thing happens every time
You're going bottoms up
And you get down
You're going bottoms up
And you get down on your luck

You're not the first
To touch the sky
Well I could try to save you from the fall
I'll be your alibi

Now the same thing happens every time
And now the same thing happens every time
You're going bottoms up
And you get down
You're going bottoms up
And you get down on your luck

You got the [?]
The true romantic [?]
Friends don't let friends suffer long
You're gonna drag me down instead

Now the same thing happens every time
And now the same thing happens every time
You're going bottoms up
And you get down
You're going bottoms up
And you get down

You're going bottoms up
You're down and down and down on your luck
Thanks to you I'm invincible
You won't hear me out, selection no
You better [?] with every pull
I'm looking out for you
It's you and I at the door

Ordinary Idols lyrics - Cold War Kids

I spiral down again
Such a struggle just to keep an ordinary love
Ain't got the time for friends
Why am I working so hard and barely keeping up?

Who remains when you drop?
Who do you call when it stops?
I spiral down again
Somebody protect me or I'm gone

Why would you idolize me?
There's nothing I got that you don't
You keep on fantasizing
I'll always be the underdog
Give me more
Give me more
I'm the one you that you ignore
Give me more
Give me more
I'm the one you that you ignore

Where'd you find your confidence?
Are you willing to make out of yourself?
It's curse of common sense
We all wanna be something different, someone else

You become what you watch
What I love can't be taught
Imitation is not a sin
You're only guilty if you're caught

Why would you idolize me?
There's nothing I got that you don't
You keep on fantasizing
I'll always be the underdog
Give me more
Give me more
I'm the one you that you ignore
Give me more
Give me more
I'm the one you that you ignore

This city's made for dreamers
It's like the Garden of Eden
Before the apple leading
You're just sleeping
Drink and play all day
But you won't ever fall in love
No you won't ever lift it up
You just wanna fall in love
No you won't ever fall in love

Why would you idolize me?
There's nothing I got that you don't
Obsessing and fantasizing
I'll always be the underdog
Give me more
Give me more
Give me more, give me more, give me more
I'm the one you that you ignore

Cameras Always On lyrics - Cold War Kids

I can't live in my mind
But I can't be everything to you at the same time
I want to be famous in your eyes
But the camera's always on
The camera's always on

Part Of The Night lyrics - Cold War Kids

We are a part of the night
Part of the night
You see me through my darkest times
We are a part of the night
Part of the night
I feel you when I close my eyes

I hate to get all emotional
The separation leaves us vulnerable
I'm so aware of what you must think of me
I used to have so many tricks up my sleeve

I wish I could be the one who's shining, who's always honest
And I feel the daze driving to right my wrongs

We are a part of the night
Part of the night
You see me through my darkest times
We are a part of the night
Part of the night
I feel you when I close my eyes

I guess you knew what you were getting into
I'm temperamental and [?]
Will we divide and [?]
Who set out, who set out to live two separate dreams

Do your friends say I'm playing the artist card?
But they don't sympathize when it gets too hard

We are a part of the night
Part of the night
You see me through my darkest times
We are a part of the night
Part of the night
I feel you when I close my eyes

Careful not to overexpose
Do you remember what we started this for?
The damage we gave up is bigger than us
It was a vision built from the ground up
So it's ours to crush

We are a part of the night
Part of the night
You see me through my darkest times
We are a part of the night
Part of the night
You see me through my darkest times
We are a part of the night
Part of the night
I feel you when I close my eyes

We are a part of the night
Part of the night, part of the night, part of the night that I need you
Part of the night, part of the night, part of the night that I need you
We are a part of the night
Part of the night, part of the night, part of the night that I need you
Part of the night, part of the night, part of the night that I need you

Free To Breathe lyrics - Cold War Kids

So why should I believe that everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright
If only we were free to breathe
And why should I believe that everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright
Imagine how good we could be

We like to drink with our feet on the fire
We like to argue the meaning of life
Like brothers, we know how to fight
It's on our shoulders to set the world right
What's the difference if we disagree?
Is heaven above? Is hell underneath?
Doesn't change the news on the streets
Doesn't bring us closer to peace

So why should I believe that everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright
If only we were free to breathe
So why should I believe that everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright
Imagine how good we could be

Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Woah

What kinda father leaves his kids in the rain?
What kinda God would not explain?
If this life is all that we get
You better hope something good comes next
The world is changing
Can you feel the tension?
If you're not angry, then you must not be listening
The world is changing
Can you feel the tension?
If you're not angry, you must not be listening
