Let's Try Being In Love lyrics - Darren Hayes
Being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Being in love
I'm in love
With the idea of being in love
I'm in love
And there's no way to hide the deed
It's in the air
Bergamot
And humidity
I've seen it before
In your eyes
Adolescent dreams
So let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
With the idea of being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Oh
I'm in love
With the idea of being in love
I feel whole
With the idea of being in love
I've seen it before
In your eyes
Only God will know
So let's try being in love
Oh
I'm in love
With the idea of being in love
I absolve
All my responsibilities
If I take your hand
In my mouth
Will I taste the sea?
Eros evolves
By the pool
Skin inviting me
So let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
With the idea of being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Oh
I'm in love
With the idea of being in love
I feel whole
With the idea of being in love
I've been there before
In your eyes
Only God will know
So let's try being in love
Oh
Am I by your side?
Am I on my own?
Do I dare to speak?
Will I die alone?
Am I five decades?
Am I twenty-four?
Laden with desire
Never felt before
Teenage passion
Middle-aged despair
All the pregnant thoughts
Linger in the air
Am I by your side?
Am I on my own?
Do I dare to speak?
Will I die alone?
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's try being in love
Let's...
Do You Remember? lyrics - Darren Hayes
Do you?
Do you remember the love?
Do you remember we were in love?
Do you remember the club?
Do you remember we were in love?
Boy you're right in front of me
I need you to dance with me
Ohh you're right in front of me
I'm gonna need your hands on me
Do you?
Do you you remember the love?
Do you remember we were in love?
Do you remember the sound?
Listening to 'Ray of Light' and we were in love
Boy you're right in front of me
I can taste my destiny
Ooh let your lips meet mine
I think you can handle me
1990's no cell phones
If you wanted to meet someone you had to leave your home
We can dance or we could ...
I can see from bedroom eyes that you don't like to talk
Back to yours or my hotel
Grab your coat, hail a taxi, snow's just started to fall
I could be a star, I could be a total unknown
Got to see you naked I just got to get you all alone
Boy you're right in front of me
I need you to dance with me
Ooh you're right in front of me
I'm gonna need your hands on me
Boy you're right in front of me
I can taste my destiny
Ooh let your lips meet mine
I think you can handle me
Oh yeah ooh
Boy you're right in front of me
I want you to dance with me
Boy ooh right in front of me
Hoo ooh boy you're right in front of me
I wanted you to dance
A Little Death lyrics - Darren Hayes
Hey boy can I get a little sympathy?
Because the future of you and I died a little death today
You barely noticed my heart stopped when you walked away
I imagined us driving in my new car marvelling at stars in the observatory
Hey boy can we pretend it was just a dream
That I died every time I saw you online and you spoke to me
You put me in your top five
That all ended tonight
I saw visions of parked cars and lights of Griffith Park vanishing
It was ten long years
You didn't even notice
And if you did you'd let it go
It was ten long years
I kept my feelings locked inside
Did I ever cross your mind?
The first and last time I am ever gonna drive you home
Because the future of you and I died a little death tonight
I'm gonna do myself a favor, take mixed signals for 'no'
It was fun to indulge and pretend and descend but it's a heavy blow
It was ten long years
You didn't even notice
And if you did you'd let it go
It was ten long years
I kept my feelings locked inside
Did I ever cross your mind?
As time goes by the feelings fade
But they never really went away
Somewhere in another universe
Maybe you and I are on that hill
Scanning skies with telescopes
LA lights laid out below us
Future lives stretched out before us
A little death you didn't notice
It was ten long years
You didn't even notice
And if you did you hid it well
Ten long years
I kept my feelings locked inside
Did I ever cross your mind?
Does nobody ever cross your mind?
Did I cross your mind?
Does nobody ever cross your mind?
Nobody ever cross your mind?
Poison Blood lyrics - Darren Hayes
Robin had it
My Mother has it
My Grandma had it
I guess I got it too
And once you've got it
It drains emotions
It sinks your feelings and all the life rafts too
Ooh I got to have you
But I don't wanna pass on to you my poison blood
Poison Blood
Ooh I got to have you
But poison blood poisons all the love
Ooh I won't let it get you, no
Lincoln had it
My Brother has it
My Nephew had it
I guess I got it too
And once you've got it
It fills an ocean with fear and loathing and devastation too
Ooh I got to have you
But I don't wanna pass on to you my poison blood
Poison blood
Oooh I got to have you but poison blood poisons all the love
Ooh I won't let it get you, boy
And it's not that I don't wanna live
It's the pain that I wish I could kill
All the times that I wanted to die
I made a choice I was gonna survive
It's a blessing a gift and a curse
Every day's a decision to stay with my poison blood
Poison blood
Ooh I got to have you
But poison blood poisons all the love
Ooh I won't let it get you, no
Hey Matt lyrics - Darren Hayes
Hey Matt
I got something I wanna tell you
If you're there pick up
It's no big deal I'm just so lonely
You see I had a dream last night my entire life washed up
There was a terrible flood, the Ventura Freeway was covered in my stuff
Hey Matt
The water carried all my secrets
Sifting through the muck I saw my dirty little grievances
And the memories I killed
All the shameful feelings spilled
Lay bare on the asphalt
Broken parts I thought I'd drowned real good
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain
Is the last bit of innocence
I hope I can save it
I hope I can save it
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Hey Matt
You know the monsters in the ocean?
It turns out they're real
Guess they were underneath the surface
Tailing me like a shark getting dizzy and drunk on my blood
And all this time they were deep beneath the wave that used to carry me on high
Hey Matt
I'm stranded on a traffic island
Six car pile up and flashing lights so many sirens
I don't recognize my skin or the bones that creak within
I am tired all the time
A sexless, frail, scared and weak little man
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain
Is the last bit of innocence
I hope I can save it
I hope I can save it
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Hey Matt
I'm somewhere on the 101 South
I guess I broke down
There's bits of plastic and glass all around
And it cuts into my feet
And this mud is sickeningly sweet
But what the flood dredged up doesn't seem so bad under tungsten lights
Hey Matt
I think I'm gonna cut my losses
Cause when I look at this stuff there's nothing left I wanna process
There's some hurt and revenge I could take
And my Daddy issues still ache
But they're just so heavy I think I'll leave them here for someone else to claim
To claim
To claim
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain
Is the last bit of innocence
I hope I can save it
I hope I can save it
One time as a way to survive I decided to be king
But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin
Hey Matthew
I think I should tell you
I spend my life hiding behind a tree complaining
Nobody wants to play with me
A selfish kind of irony
I'm so fucking lonely
But I won't let you in
If you're out there rescue me
If you're out there come and see me
It's not how it's meant to be
If you're out there come and rescue me
It's the ending of all of me
If you're out there come and rescue me
If you're out there come and see me
This is not how it's supposed to be
Homosexual (Act One) lyrics - Darren Hayes
It's not a blessing and it's not a curse
A crystal technicolor neon tour de force
It's not a feeling a feeling you can describe
A secret lexicon of love behind your eyes
All my life I've been searching for that nectar deep in my bones
A sweet molasses toothache of desire
It's not correctable
It's homosexual
All my life
Oh
I can not fool you
I can't evade
I'm a book and you are reading every page
A pain that winces insistent to be healed
The only antidote is love what you conceal
All my life a predilection for a gentlemen's cologne
A deep desire that's been carved in stone
It's four dimensional
It's homosexual
All, all of my life I've been waiting for the sun
Sun to come out
You're here and it's like my favorite record
Wanna drown in the sound
Mmm Cause you're the one I've waited for
The feelings are consensual
The chemistry is mutual
The mood is homosexual
It's Homosexual
It's not an interest
Non monsieur
On overpowering love force majeure
I caught a feeling a feeling I can't deny
I found a paradise lost behind a smile
All my life I've been searching for that perfume leather and dirt
A mix of existential pain and desire
Incomprehensible
It's homosexual
All my life
Oh
It's not a blessing and it's not a curse
It's homosexual
A crystal technicolor neon tour de force
It's not a feeling a feeling you can describe
A secret lexicon of love behind your eyes
All my life I've been searching for that shockwave deep in my soul
I've been incorrigible since I was born
It's intentional
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
All, all of my life I've been waiting for the sun
Sun to come out
You're here and it's like my favorite record
Wanna drown in the sound
Mmm cause you're the one I've waited for
The feelings are consensual
The chemistry is mutual
The mood is homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
It's homosexual
You're here and it's like my favorite record
You're here and it's like my favorite record
You're here and it's like my favorite record
You're here and it's like it was the summer of love
It was the summer of love
It was the summer of love
It was the summer of love
It was the summer of love
It was the summer of love
Music Video lyrics - Darren Hayes
1982
Oh I was a very young ten years old
Tenderoni got to school early to avoid home
I was emerging I was finding myself
A butterfly before the guys
Knew I was different but I wasn't ashamed yet
Oh Tammy Loewe you were the only fly girl in school
And I was obsessed with you
With your hair and your beautiful brown eyes
I was gonna direct you in my own music video
I had to get your hair just right
And that's when I felt a slap from behind
The school Principal she said
"Oh Darren Hayes you're a little fairy aren't you?
If I catch you playing with the girls again you'll be in detention
Because I know there's a name for boys like you"
There's a place I wanna go
Inside a music video
Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar
Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield
That's the place I wanna live
Where girls have names like Billie Jean
We dance in front of my VCR
Steal a DeLorean never look back again
1984
Oh I was a very young twelve years old
Shy but lonely not quite a girl but quite a ways from the guys
Internalizing I was hiding my magic
Sensitive lost in my mind
I knew I was different but I thought I could change it
Ooh Stephen Baker you were the handsome new boy at school
And I was obsessed with you
Your messy hair and those braces and that smile
I fantasized about holding hands
I liked to imagine what a hug would feel like
But that's when I got a letter from Mike
I opened it up it said
"Oh Darren Hayes you're in love with Stephen, aren't you?
Well if I catch you watching him in class again you'll get a broke nose
Because Darren there's a name for boys like you"
There's a place I wanna go
Inside a music video
Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar
Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield
That's the place I wanna live
Where girls have names like Billie Jean
We dance in front of my VCR
Steal a DeLorean never look back again
There's a place I wanna go
Inside a music video
Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar
Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield
That's the place I wanna live
Ooh and I did
Where girls have names like Billie Jean
You know
We dance in front of my VCR
Steal a DeLorean
I never looked back again
Euphoric Equation lyrics - Darren Hayes
In the beginning there was darkness
There was no mercy it was heartless
Sometimes to survive this life you gotta learn to run
Stay ahead of the night
Some days when the fire inside dies
You gotta find your mark
Cheat the light
Banish darkness
I was a kid
I was petrified
I couldn't look in my daddy's eyes
I'd count em down
Every drink he took
And when the bad guy arrived
I would just hide
I was a man
Twenty three years old
The first time I ever told a soul
About the violence inside my home
I didn't even cry
It's how I survived
I never meant to complicate things
I never meant to disappear in my mind
I never meant to swallow my heart
But darkness travels faster than the speed of love
I tried to run but I couldn't escape it
Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant
Got to chase the light
Gotta do what you can to survive
To survive
I survived
I survived
I survived
Ooh hoo yeah
Ooh hoo yeah
Ooh hoo yeah
I was a child
I was cursed and damned
Called me a name I didn't understand
Made me ashamed of who I am
So I killed that side
A part of me died
I met a man via pseudonym
Said my bravado wasn't fooling him
He saw a fracture in my Kingdom wall
He said strength be damned
Let it fall
I never meant to complicate things
I never meant to disappear in my mind
I never meant to swallow my heart
But darkness travels faster than the speed of love
I tried to run but I couldn't escape it
Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant
Got to chase the light
Gotta do what you can to survive
To survive
I survived
I survived
I survived
Ooh hoo yeah
Ooh hoo yeah
Ooh hoo yeah
Darkness and light are joy adjacent
Both cannot exist in the same equation
Shadows are bigger than the fools who make them
Darkness travels faster than the speed of love
You can try to run but you can't escape it
Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant
Open up your heart to instantaneous light
To light
To light
To light
To light
Oh hoo
Oh hoo
Oh hoo
Oh hoo
Nocturnal Animal lyrics - Darren Hayes
You pay a fee to get a dog
You have to prove your home is suitable
But anyone can be a Dad
And your dysfunction was transmissible
I can't remember all I've seen
My body found a way to hide the hell
You violated boundaries
Now healthy boundaries feel like betrayal
Yeah! Come on! Yeah!
I am the Queen of flight or flight
My codependencies are multiple
I would never draw first blood
And if betrayed I'll give the cold shoulder for life
Midnight to three is when I feel the safest
My panic subsides
And my trauma erases
Most of my life I grew up on a fault line
So don't look surprised
That I can't fall asleep in the dark
Yeah! Come on! Yeah! Whoo! Come on!
Yeah! Whoo! Come on! Yeah! Alright!
I tried to build a mighty wall
I fortified it with charm and wit
Now there are things I can't recall
Cause you invaded it without consent at all
I was the master of control
I thought if I was God my luck would change
I could ascend above the clouds
But how was I to know one word could strike me down
Yeah! Come on! Yeah!
I am the King of freeze or fawn
My dissociation is statuesque
I can't maintain relationships
Unless there's something that's broke and can't be fixed
Midnight to three is when I feel the safest
My panic subsides
And my trauma erases
Most of my life I grew up on a fault line
So don't look surprised
That I can't fall asleep in the dark
You are of your Father and the lusts of the Father you will do
He was a murderer from the beginning and he abode not in the truth
Because there is no truth in him
When he speaketh the lie he speaketh of his own
For he is a liar and the father of all lies
I heard a voice from the clouds
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Come on!
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Take me by the hand and lead me to a land of foreign pleasure
Yeah! Come on! Yeah! Whoo! Come on!
Yeah! Whoo! Come on! Yeah! Whoo! Alright!
Feels Like It's Over lyrics - Darren Hayes
I know I'm lost
A ghost inhabiting the shell of a man
Who looks like someone you loved
And I'm cognizant of the way our eyes will do anything
To avoid exchanging pain
I died a little
Cried a river and now our tears have all turned into stone
Embraced in our Pompei
It feels like it's over
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time
When baby you and I
We would have died defending this love
We would have died for it
We would have died defending it
We would have died
When I was young
I guess it fulfilled me emotionally
To give myself away
That selfless act was not as noble as it first seemed
It tethered you to me
The fire in your eyes
The independent streak that drew me close to me
It cooled under my reign
It feels like it's over
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time
When baby you and I
We would have died defending this love
We would have died for it
We would have died defending it
We would have died
Sunlight to sunset
Lovers to best friends
Making us feel like we're
Strangers in strange beds
Fumbling through feelings
Habitual dealings
Movie ended waiting for
Post credit scenes yeah
Sunlight to sunset
Lovers to best friends
Making us feel like we're
Strangers in strange beds
Fumbling through feelings
Habitual dealings
Movie ended waiting for
Post credit scenes yeah
It feels like it's over
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time
When baby you and I
We would have died defending this love
We would have died for it
We would have died defending it
It feels like it's over
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
All You Pretty Things lyrics - Darren Hayes
All you pretty things
Yeah all you pretty things
All you pretty things
Came here to dance
You came here to find love
And you're all such pretty things
And you'll remain pretty things
Until the end of time
Juan and Drew were getting married
They were honestly in love
And Top Hat Eddie had a big heart
Luis' smile lit up the park
And just for one night
The world's problems seemed to fade away
Under flashing lights
I wish that things would always be this way
So never forget
And never give up
But don't ever stop
Keep dancing the pain away
Don't let the past
Steal from today
As long as we've got our memories love remains
Kimberly was always smiling
Eddie was his mamma's heart
Anthony he sure could salsa
Brenda was the coolest Mom
And just for one night
The world's heartache seemed to disappear
Under strobe lights
Everyone is beautiful in here
So never forget
And never give up
But don't ever stop
Keep dancing the pain away
Don't let the past
Steal from today
As long as we've got our memories love remains
We've got to
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
We've got to
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
All you pretty things
Yeah all you pretty things
All you pretty things
Came here to dance
And you came here to find love
And you're all such pretty things
And you'll remain pretty things
Until the end of time
So never forget
And never give up
But don't ever stop
Keep dancing the pain away
Don't let the past
Steal from today
As long as we've got our memories love remains
So never forget
And never give up
But don't ever stop
Keep dancing the pain away
Don't let the past
Steal from today
As long as we've got our memories love remains
We've got to
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
We've got to
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
We've got to
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
We've got to
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them
Dance to remember them...
We Are Alchemists lyrics - Darren Hayes
Do what you want with me
You know I can't refuse
Replace the scars in me
With your emotional tattoos
I was never consciously looking for love
The universe conspired in the absence of
Maybe I'm an alchemist and you are a dove
Taking all the hurt and turning pain into love
I never meant to seek you out
I never meant call you forth
But in my mind I was searching yeah
Behind enemy lines
Behind a curtain yeah
We can dance if you want to
We can try to forget
We can touch if you need to
It might help with regret
And we can kiss if you want to
Turn our sadness to sex
We can dance if you want to
We are alchemists
Do what you want with me
In the silence I'll let go
Be who you want with me
I'll make a house with a damaged home
Stumbling around in a chamber of light
A thousand tiny mirrors and a laser messiah
Desire's all around but it's open secret
Rolling in the ground you know we both reek of it
I never meant to give you up
(Feel alone, I feel alone, I feel alone, I'm just a lonely pilgrim)
I never meant to watch you fall
(All alone, oh I'm so alone, just a bunch of bones, I'm just a lonely pilgrim)
And In my mind I went searching
(I wasn't consciously looking for love I was searching for myself)
Behind enemy lines
(Behind the curtain)
And we can dance if you want to
(If you want to)
We can try to forget
We can touch if you need to
(If you need to)
It might help with regret
(When everything's over)
And we can kiss if you want to
(If you want to)
Turn our sadness to sex
(When everything's over would you)
We can dance if you want to
(If you want to)
We are alchemists
Hoo hoo whoa
I feel alone
Oh I feel alone
A bunch of broken bones
Put me back together baby
With alchemy
One part you
One me
We're making gold from gold
It's deep magic baby
We can dance if you want to
(If you want to)
We can try to forget
(When everything's over would you)
We can touch if you need to
(If you need to)
It might help with regret
(When everything's over would you)
We can kiss if you want to
(If you want to)
Turn our sadness to sex
(When everything's over would you)
We can dance if you want to
(If you want to)
We are alchemists
When everything's over would you dance for us?
When everything's over would you dance for us?
When everything's over would you dance for us?
When everything's over would you dance for us?
When everything's over
Homosexual (Act Two) lyrics - Darren Hayes
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of God
Then maybe she's a homosexual
Can't be wrong
When it feels so right
And if loving is a sin you can count me in
Yes baby I'm a homosexual
Every little fleck of blue inside my eyes is by design
Every little imperfection I possess uniquely mine
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of god
Then maybe she's a homosexual
It's not a blessing, it's not a curse
A crystal technicolor neon tour-de-force
It's not a feeling feeling you can describe
A secret lexicon of love behind your eyes
All my life
I've been searching for that nectar deep in my bones
A sweet molasses tooth ache of desire
It's not correctable, it's homosexual
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of God
Then maybe she's a homosexual
Can't be wrong
When it feels so right
And if loving is a sin you can count me in
Yes baby I'm a homosexual
All all of my life
I've been waiting for the sun sun to come out
You're here and it's like my favorite record
Wanna drown in the sound
Mmm 'cause you're the one I've waited for
The feelings are consensual
The chemistry is mutual
The mood is homosexual
I can not fool you, can't evade
I'm a book and you are reading every page
A pain that winces insistent to be healed
It's not correctable, it's homosexual
All my life
I've been searching for that perfume, leather and dirt
A mix of existential pain and desire
Incomprehensible, it's homosexual
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of God
Then maybe she's a homosexual
Can't be wrong
When it feels so right
And if loving is a sin you can count me in
Yes baby I'm a homosexual
Every little fleck of blue inside my eyes is by design
Every little imperfection I possess uniquely mine
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of God
Then maybe she's a homosexual
All all of my life
I've been waiting for the sun sun to come out
You're here and it's like my favorite record
Wanna drown in the sound
Mmm cause you're the one I've waited for
The feelings are consensual
The chemistry is mutual
The mood is homosexual
It's homosexual
Hooo
Don't make it wrong
Don't make it wrong
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of God
Then maybe she's a homosexual
Can't be wrong
When it feels so right
And if loving is a sin you can count me in
Yes baby I'm a homosexual
Every little fleck of blue inside my eyes is by design
Every little imperfection I possess uniquely mine
If it's all my fault
Then it's all your fault
'Cause if man was created in the image of God
Then maybe she's a homosexual
All all of my life
I've been waiting for the sun sun to come out
You're here and it's like my favorite record
Wanna drown in the sound
Mmm cause you're the one I've waited for
The feelings are consensual
The chemistry is mutual
The mood is homosexual
Birth lyrics - Darren Hayes
There's a feeling inside me
Under layers of dirt
Jekyll and Hyding from me
In a bloodstained shirt
Buried 6 feet in my gut
Scratching at my skin to break out
There's a creature inside me
All sticky and black
Squirms like an octopus
With the teeth of a rat
All it wants to do is be heard
But what if I don't wanna give birth?
There's a creature inside me
Wanna squish down the drain
Synthetic hair clumps
And polyurethane
All it wants to do is have worth
But what if I don't wanna give birth?
You're too late!
I guess you're having a baby!
It's in me but not from me
It when rules me so tread carefully
It's in me but not from me
It's sleeping
So don't make it angry!
There's a feeling inside me
All rotten and green
Feels like a pregnancy
That doesn't wanna be seen
All those years of scar tissue
Am I the scar am I the wound?
There's a bullet inside me
But it didn't explode
I'm getting tired of waiting
For another episode
All I wanna do is go bang
If only I could find an exit wound
There's a feeling inside me
Under layers of skin
Pushing like like an embryo
Made of guilt and sin
Negotiating when to be born
What will it want in return?
You're too late!
I guess you're having a baby
Oh my love oh my love I am so afraid
Every day I am terrified to wake up and open my eyes
And I know it's a phantom fear
And the bad guy's not really here
Every day I've been building walls to protect a fragile part of me
I've been hiding it all my life
Keeping it safe from things out there
But it's been draining me and all the world can see
There's a sadness behind my eyes
There's a sadness behind my eyes
There's a sadness behind my eyes
There's a sadness behind my eyes
It's in me but not from me
It rules me so tread carefully
It's in me but not from me
It's sleeping so don't make it angry
I guess you're having a baby!
There's a feeling inside me
It didn't get there alone
PTSD or a loose chromosome
I don't care which came first
Something's about to burst
It's been here so long now
It began as a laugh
If I'm not careful be my epitaph
I don't wanna live this way
Maybe when it sleeps I can escape
There's a feeling inside me under layers of hurt
Can't tell if it's friend or foe or pain inverted
But I don't wanna have to give birth
What if I don't wanna give birth?
What if I don't wanna give birth?
What if I don't wanna give birth?
What if I don't wanna give life to this?
What if I don't wanna confront?
What if I don't wanna examine this?
Something deep inside
Something I have tired to hide so long
Even from myself
Something inside that scares
Something inside but not from me at all
Something inside since I was three years old
Something inside that feels so big and tall
Something inside so harmless right up close
Something inside I dreamed up long ago
Maybe this something it has a name
Maybe this something it has a name
Maybe this something is only shame
Maybe this something is only shame
Maybe this something is only shame
What if I let go?
What if I let go?
What if I let go?
Let's try being in love
Being in love
Let's try being in love
Being in love
Flew away from it all
Turned around and the scene had ended
Flew away from it all
Won't be left out in the cold again
Let's try being in love
Flew away from it all
Being in love
Being in love
Being in love

Love Is In Everything lyrics - Darren Hayes
I was waiting for someone to call my name
You said a million strangers feel the same
The weight of the world
Resting only in my head
Was all black and white
When it should have been red
But touching your hand
Is making me understand
That love is in everything
The puzzle is hard
But it doesn't mean anything
The colours are deaf
And the love is in everything
I was trying to make sense of all this pain
You said that no one could stay dry in all this rain
I felt like a lone species in Noah's Ark
You said if the road was easy
I wouldn't walk that far
But touching your hand
Is making me understand
That love is in everything
The puzzle is hard
But it doesn't mean anything
The colours are deaf
And the love is in everything
Made me believe again
That love is in everything
The riddle is long
But it doesn't solve anything
Love is in every
Love is in everything
All the lights go out
When the whisper becomes a shout
All the footprints in the sand
When I do not understand
Touching your hand
Is making me understand
That love is in everything
The puzzle is hard
But it doesn't mean anything
The colours are deaf
And the love is in everything
Make me believe again
Love is in everything
The riddle is long
But it doesn't solve anything
Love is in every
Love is in everything
Baby
Love is in everything
The puzzle is hard
Bt it doesn't mean anything
The colours are deaf
And the love is in everything
Yeah
All the light's go out
When the whispers becomes a shout
All the footprints' on the sand
When I do not understand
All the light's go out
When the whispers becomes a shout
All the footprints' on the sand
When I do not understand
Taken By The Sea lyrics - Darren Hayes
love, lay me down
slay me with whispers
reassure me that it’s alright
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
but you saw me, then you caught me
shining like a ray of hope
swift like a turning sea
angel to comfort me
cradling my head in your hands
I looked up at the sun
and the fog cleared, I saw you
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island, you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea
fall, I took a fall
I took it easy
on the surface I was perfect
but down, way down below
I started believing
I deserved it
was I worthless
sinking like a rescue boat
washing right over me
vessel is struggling
waving both my hands in the air
then the blindness of love
then your arms all around me
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island, you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea
and I want so much to believe
that I won’t disappear in the water
that I won’t always be swimming against the tide
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island and you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea, the sea
I am an island, you are the ocean
all of my sadness taken by the sea
slay me with whispers
reassure me that it’s alright
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
but you saw me, then you caught me
shining like a ray of hope
swift like a turning sea
angel to comfort me
cradling my head in your hands
I looked up at the sun
and the fog cleared, I saw you
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island, you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea
fall, I took a fall
I took it easy
on the surface I was perfect
but down, way down below
I started believing
I deserved it
was I worthless
sinking like a rescue boat
washing right over me
vessel is struggling
waving both my hands in the air
then the blindness of love
then your arms all around me
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island, you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea
and I want so much to believe
that I won’t disappear in the water
that I won’t always be swimming against the tide
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island and you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea, the sea
I am an island, you are the ocean
all of my sadness taken by the sea
Don't Give Up lyrics - Darren Hayes
It's six o clock and I'm wide awake and dreaming
I'm thinking back to a time before our separate lives
A time where I could make you mine oooh
I made a promise I was never gonna hurt you
I wrote a letter and divided all the words in two
half for me and half for you oooh
Now I'm sending out a searchlight along latitudes and satellites
Don't give up don't give up don't give up on our love story when you can't go on
Don't give up don't give up always dark before the morning when you can't go on
you be a brave heart I'll be a lion's roar
and love surrenders to win the war
In the silence I hear every word you're thinking
Like the shimmer of a far away and distant star
Guess love could never travel that far no
And I can't believe it's come to this
all our secret codes and battleships
Don't give up don't give up don't give up on our love story when you can't go on
Don't give up don't give up always dark before the morning when you can't go on
you be a brave heart I'll be a lion's roar
and love surrenders to win the war
And I wanna run away from this but I never leave a sinking ship no
without you in it there's no point to our story oooh
And I can't believe it's come to this
all our secret codes and battleships no
without you in it there's no point to our story oooh
Don't ever let me go no no no
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go
I'm thinking back to a time before our separate lives
A time where I could make you mine oooh
I made a promise I was never gonna hurt you
I wrote a letter and divided all the words in two
half for me and half for you oooh
Now I'm sending out a searchlight along latitudes and satellites
Don't give up don't give up don't give up on our love story when you can't go on
Don't give up don't give up always dark before the morning when you can't go on
you be a brave heart I'll be a lion's roar
and love surrenders to win the war
In the silence I hear every word you're thinking
Like the shimmer of a far away and distant star
Guess love could never travel that far no
And I can't believe it's come to this
all our secret codes and battleships
Don't give up don't give up don't give up on our love story when you can't go on
Don't give up don't give up always dark before the morning when you can't go on
you be a brave heart I'll be a lion's roar
and love surrenders to win the war
And I wanna run away from this but I never leave a sinking ship no
without you in it there's no point to our story oooh
And I can't believe it's come to this
all our secret codes and battleships no
without you in it there's no point to our story oooh
Don't ever let me go no no no
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go
Nearly Love lyrics - Darren Hayes
In my eyes
Well your gaze always ends up there
There’s a touch of the insincere
But you can always tell I’m lying
Fighting words
Well nobody is keeping score
But we’re winning a cold, cold war
And I feel so cowardly
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And it’s hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
In your touch
Well your body can move in close
But my heart is a lonesome ghost
I’d never feel you anyway
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And it’s hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And my heart’s in a mess cause my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
Love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, love you, love you
And it’s hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And my heart’s in a mess cause my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
Well your gaze always ends up there
There’s a touch of the insincere
But you can always tell I’m lying
Fighting words
Well nobody is keeping score
But we’re winning a cold, cold war
And I feel so cowardly
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And it’s hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
In your touch
Well your body can move in close
But my heart is a lonesome ghost
I’d never feel you anyway
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And it’s hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And my heart’s in a mess cause my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
Love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, love you, love you
And it’s hard to confess but my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
And now I love you, love you
Only slightly less than I loved you, loved you
And my heart’s in a mess cause my nearly love is not real enough
To be the one
To be the one
Black Out The Sun lyrics - Darren Hayes
No turn off the sun
Take down the moon
For I don't need them anymore
Go switch off the stars
And paint the sky black
Love isn't ever coming back
There is no use in imagining a world without you
Your love was like a drug I was addicted to
[Chorus:]
Cause there is nobody else who could hurt like you hurt me
I don't want to be lonely
And there is no other way
There's no joy
There's no meaning
Just this hollowed out feeling
Now all the loves gone
And nothing grows here
And I just feel wrong so black out the sun
And all that we shared will slowly disappear
There's a hole where my soul used to grow
So just black out the sun
No stop all the rain and poison the ground
Love doesn't want to hang around
Go turn all the fruits into bitter wine
It was only sweet when you were mine
There is an emptiness inside of me
Since you been gone
All the world has lost it's meaning
All my colors run
[Chorus]
And nothing compares
How could it even dare
Cause now that love's gone I want to black out the sun
[Chorus]
Take down the moon
For I don't need them anymore
Go switch off the stars
And paint the sky black
Love isn't ever coming back
There is no use in imagining a world without you
Your love was like a drug I was addicted to
[Chorus:]
Cause there is nobody else who could hurt like you hurt me
I don't want to be lonely
And there is no other way
There's no joy
There's no meaning
Just this hollowed out feeling
Now all the loves gone
And nothing grows here
And I just feel wrong so black out the sun
And all that we shared will slowly disappear
There's a hole where my soul used to grow
So just black out the sun
No stop all the rain and poison the ground
Love doesn't want to hang around
Go turn all the fruits into bitter wine
It was only sweet when you were mine
There is an emptiness inside of me
Since you been gone
All the world has lost it's meaning
All my colors run
[Chorus]
And nothing compares
How could it even dare
Cause now that love's gone I want to black out the sun
[Chorus]
Talk Talk Talk lyrics - Darren Hayes
I know you keep your silence.
I know that secret better than you.
Sometimes all the matters of the heart
Are the chaos and the cowardice that keep us apart.
I know you want to shut down.
I know you think we're better alone.
Sometimes all the words are unsaid,
But you listen to them argue every night in your head.
Just breathe in and out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
I know that you've been pushed down.
I know you think we're better as two.
Sometimes, well, the miracle of love is meaningless
And clumsy like the beating of a heart.
Just breathe in and out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk.
Calling out-
Got to hear an echo got to get to you.
When I'm walking out-
All I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Well you can hide away your feelings.
And burn your bridges in the dark.
But I know you want to break through.
But we're worlds apart.
Just breathe in and out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk.
And I'm calling out-
I've got to hear an echo; got to get to you.
When I'm walking out-
Well all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you, yeah.
I know that secret better than you.
Sometimes all the matters of the heart
Are the chaos and the cowardice that keep us apart.
I know you want to shut down.
I know you think we're better alone.
Sometimes all the words are unsaid,
But you listen to them argue every night in your head.
Just breathe in and out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
I know that you've been pushed down.
I know you think we're better as two.
Sometimes, well, the miracle of love is meaningless
And clumsy like the beating of a heart.
Just breathe in and out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk.
Calling out-
Got to hear an echo got to get to you.
When I'm walking out-
All I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Well you can hide away your feelings.
And burn your bridges in the dark.
But I know you want to break through.
But we're worlds apart.
Just breathe in and out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you.
Please hear me out.
'Cause all I want to do is just talk talk talk.
And I'm calling out-
I've got to hear an echo; got to get to you.
When I'm walking out-
Well all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you, yeah.
Bloodstained Heart lyrics - Darren Hayes
Love, you're in pieces
There's no one left to lay you down
Or say it's okay
On the worst night, of the worst year
Though we might fall, we'll go out punching
You hit me like a subway train
And I will never be the same
And darling I'll follow you down to the ground
Even when you fall apart, I'll pick up your bloodstained heart
And darling I'll follow you down to the ground
In the gutter
Where you're starless, and blind to dreams
We can dream each other
To a new day
Where the good guys always win
And heaven still means something
You hit me like a subway train
And I will never be the same
And darling I'll follow you down to the ground
Even when you fall apart, I'll pick up your bloodstained heart
And darling I'll follow you down to the ground
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Love, when you're in pieces
There's no one left to dry your eyes
You hit me like a subway train
And I will never be the same
Oh darling I'll follow you down to the ground
Even when you fall apart, I'll pick up your bloodstained heart
Ooh darling I'll follow you down to the ground, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [to end]

God Walking Into The Room lyrics - Darren Hayes
You and I
We got splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sky
I say a prayer in the distance
That my faith in love will survive
My friends tell me I should look around for somebody new
But they don’t know you
They don’t understand the gravity I’ve fallen into
‘Cause I still feel you
‘Cause you bring me love
You lift me up
And every time we kiss is like God walking into the room
Forgive me, love
Can’t give you up
Every time we kiss is like God walking into the room
Can I make
A confession?
I’m lighting candles for you and I
I pray for a love resurrection
And all the things we lost in the fire
Oh, my friends tell me I should look around for somebody new
But they don’t know you
They don’t look into your eyes or tremble like I do
Every time I see you
‘Cause you bring me love
You lift me up
Every time we kiss is like God walking into the room
Forgive me, love
Can’t give you up
Hand upon the Bible
Your love is survival I tell you
I’ve never felt this before
My soul never falls to the floor
You look right to me
Like God walking into the room
Like it’s meant to be
You and I
We were splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sea
I say a prayer that in the distance
My faith in love will bring you back to me
You bring me love
You lift me up
And every time we kiss is like God walking into the room
Forgive me, love
Can’t you give up
My hand’s upon the Bible
Your love is survival, I tell you
I’ve never felt this before
My soul never falls to the floor
You look right to me
Like God walking into the room
Like it’s meant to be
We got splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sky
I say a prayer in the distance
That my faith in love will survive
My friends tell me I should look around for somebody new
But they don’t know you
They don’t understand the gravity I’ve fallen into
‘Cause I still feel you
‘Cause you bring me love
You lift me up
And every time we kiss is like God walking into the room
Forgive me, love
Can’t give you up
Every time we kiss is like God walking into the room
Can I make

I pray for a love resurrection
And all the things we lost in the fire

My soul never falls to the floor
You look right to me

Hurt lyrics - Darren Hayes
If you want something broke you better give it to me
Got a way of disappointing that you wouldn’t believe
I can take a good intention and turn it on its head
I can make you pray to God and wish we’d never met
Nobody knows where this razor has been
If you want something broke you better give it to me
Because I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low I’ll make you want to cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
You’d be better off with somebody else
So put me back on the shelf
See I’m the kind of person who can barely be loved
I solve every equation with a push and a shove
Now that I love you I’m afraid it’s too late
If you get too close I’ll only push you away
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low I’ll make you want to cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
I was better lost before I was found
I’ve got a history of misery so baby listen to me
Put me back on the shelf and give this pain to somebody else
Cause I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low I’ll make you want to cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
I can make you cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
Got a way of disappointing that you wouldn’t believe
I can take a good intention and turn it on its head
I can make you pray to God and wish we’d never met
Nobody knows where this razor has been
If you want something broke you better give it to me
Because I can make you hurt

I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
You’d be better off with somebody else

Roses lyrics - Darren Hayes
What if I told you that your time was up,
That as every second passes there's a moment gone,
And in twenty three hours the sun is gonna set, forever.
Would you hug a little tighter, would you let go first,
Would you focus on love and then forget the hurt,
Living the moment and wish your life away.
How would you spend your last night on earth,
Would you kiss your enemies say sorry first,
Would you take enough time to say your last goodbyes.
All the little battles that you never won,
All the music in the opera never sung,
Emotions that were silent all these years,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
You can't smell the roses, no it's not a rehearsal,
You only get one life so make it right,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth,
Cause this is the last night on earth.
What if I told you that I had regrets,
I would trade in all my happiness for one last kiss,
For a minute or two lying by your side.
What if I chose over nobody more,
If I uttered only promises with empty talk,
If I knew back then the things that I know now.
I would tell you that I love you then we'd all get low,
There are peaks and there are valleys, you've got to have known,
A second chance, it rarely comes around.
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
You can't smell the roses, no it's not a rehearsal,
You only get one life so make it right,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth.
If I could have my time again,
I would make sure you knew just how I feel,
Somewhere I wait for much too long,
And the seasons change without me.
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
You can't smell the roses, no it's not a rehearsal,
You only get one life so make it right,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth,
As if it's the last night on earth,
Cause this is the last night for love.
That as every second passes there's a moment gone,
And in twenty three hours the sun is gonna set, forever.
Would you hug a little tighter, would you let go first,
Would you focus on love and then forget the hurt,
Living the moment and wish your life away.
How would you spend your last night on earth,
Would you kiss your enemies say sorry first,
Would you take enough time to say your last goodbyes.
All the little battles that you never won,
All the music in the opera never sung,
Emotions that were silent all these years,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
You can't smell the roses, no it's not a rehearsal,
You only get one life so make it right,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth,
Cause this is the last night on earth.
What if I told you that I had regrets,
I would trade in all my happiness for one last kiss,
For a minute or two lying by your side.
What if I chose over nobody more,
If I uttered only promises with empty talk,
If I knew back then the things that I know now.

You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
You can't smell the roses, no it's not a rehearsal,
You only get one life so make it right,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth.
If I could have my time again,

Somewhere I wait for much too long,
And the seasons change without me.
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
You can't smell the roses, no it's not a rehearsal,
You only get one life so make it right,
You can't smell the roses when you're gone,
So live every moment like it's the last night on earth,
As if it's the last night on earth,
Cause this is the last night for love.
Stupid Mistake lyrics - Darren Hayes
I don't wanna love and
I don't want anybody else
Anybody else to either
I don't want faith
I don't wanna start another war
A kingdom for my crowd of believers
Did I lose my calling
Did I lose you
Don't lovers always get what they want?
[Chorus:]
I made a stupid mistake
And my world crashed down
All around me oh oh
I made a stupid mistake
And I threw it all away
Threw it all away
I got lazy on the wrong side of love
Now I'm searching every face
Every crowd for you for you
For you for you
I don't wanna stain
I don't want your love upon my hands
But I don't understand what I'm leaving
I don't wanna pray
I don't want a forgivenss from above
When none of this was of my believing
Did I choose to fall down
Did I lose you
Don't lovers always get what they want
[Chorus]
I've been walking around with my head in the dirt
I've been stripped of everything that ever made me converse
I've been lonely
I've been searching
The crowd for you for you
For you for you
I got lazy on the wrong side of love
I was stupid sold my kingdom for a war with you
Oh with you oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
You don't want love
You don't want anybody else to either
I don't want anybody else
Anybody else to either
I don't want faith
I don't wanna start another war
A kingdom for my crowd of believers
Did I lose my calling
Did I lose you
Don't lovers always get what they want?
[Chorus:]
I made a stupid mistake
And my world crashed down
All around me oh oh
I made a stupid mistake
And I threw it all away
Threw it all away
I got lazy on the wrong side of love
Now I'm searching every face
Every crowd for you for you
For you for you
I don't wanna stain
I don't want your love upon my hands
But I don't understand what I'm leaving
I don't wanna pray
I don't want a forgivenss from above
When none of this was of my believing
Did I choose to fall down
Did I lose you
Don't lovers always get what they want
[Chorus]
I've been walking around with my head in the dirt
I've been stripped of everything that ever made me converse
I've been lonely
I've been searching
The crowd for you for you
For you for you
I got lazy on the wrong side of love
I was stupid sold my kingdom for a war with you
Oh with you oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
You don't want love
You don't want anybody else to either
Cruel, Cruel World lyrics - Darren Hayes
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
Without my tiny little pills
Sudden emotions
I have awoken
I'm wet behind the ears
To find myself in such a cruel cruel world
And nobody gets me
Nobody gets me
Nobody gets me like you
And everyone left me
Everyone left me
Everyone left me but you
You're the only one
The only one
The only who gets through
And when my hope is gone
I'm feeling numb
The only one I let though is you
You
You get me through
You get me through this cruel cruel world
It's been a battle for too long
And all my happiness has gone
Kindness erases a city of strangers
Deep down in my bones
All I wanna do is crawl back home to you
Cause nobody gets me
Nobody gets me
Nobody gets me like you
Everyone left me
Everyone left me
Everyone left me but you
And you're the only one
The only one
The only who gets through
And when my hope is gone
I'm feeling numb
The only one I let though is you
You
You get me through
You
You can get me through this cruel cruel world
This cruel cruel world
Ooooh
Cause you're the only one
The only one
The only one who gets through
And when my hope is gone
I'm feeling numb
The only one I let through is you
Is you
You
You get me through
You
You can get me through this cruel cruel world
This cruel cruel world
Without my tiny little pills
Sudden emotions
I have awoken
I'm wet behind the ears
To find myself in such a cruel cruel world
And nobody gets me
Nobody gets me
Nobody gets me like you
And everyone left me
Everyone left me
Everyone left me but you
You're the only one
The only one
The only who gets through
And when my hope is gone
I'm feeling numb
The only one I let though is you
You
You get me through
You get me through this cruel cruel world
It's been a battle for too long
And all my happiness has gone
Kindness erases a city of strangers
Deep down in my bones
All I wanna do is crawl back home to you
Cause nobody gets me
Nobody gets me
Nobody gets me like you
Everyone left me
Everyone left me
Everyone left me but you
And you're the only one
The only one
The only who gets through
And when my hope is gone
I'm feeling numb
The only one I let though is you
You
You get me through
You
You can get me through this cruel cruel world
This cruel cruel world
Ooooh
Cause you're the only one
The only one
The only one who gets through
And when my hope is gone
I'm feeling numb
The only one I let through is you
Is you
You
You get me through
You
You can get me through this cruel cruel world
This cruel cruel world
The Siren's Call lyrics - Darren Hayes
Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes
I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries
They call me from the jagged rock
It was the sweetest melody
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me
But I can almost taste happiness
It's such a long way off
But I can almost feel your embrace
Above the siren's call
Now it's not beautiful or pure
But it exists beyond the shore
It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call
Beneath my feet a rumbling
A hundred demons clambering
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea
No they will not be silenced
Never for you or me
But I can almost taste happiness
It's such a long way off
But I can almost feel your embrace
Above the siren's call
And I've seen a hint of it
This happiness
This bliss
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try
And I've caught a glimpse of it
One moment just one kiss
From the corner of my eye
Of better days gone by
But I can almost taste happiness
But I can almost feel your embrace
I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries
They call me from the jagged rock
It was the sweetest melody
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me
But I can almost taste happiness
It's such a long way off
But I can almost feel your embrace
Above the siren's call
Now it's not beautiful or pure
But it exists beyond the shore
It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call
Beneath my feet a rumbling
A hundred demons clambering
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea
No they will not be silenced
Never for you or me
But I can almost taste happiness
It's such a long way off
But I can almost feel your embrace
Above the siren's call
And I've seen a hint of it
This happiness
This bliss
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try
And I've caught a glimpse of it
One moment just one kiss
From the corner of my eye
Of better days gone by
But I can almost taste happiness
But I can almost feel your embrace
Explode lyrics - Darren Hayes
You and I, we're falling over straight lines
Straight ahead, ignoring all the danger signs
And it's something that I knew before
I knew before, oh
In the dark, a supernova can't keep
A burning sun from changing into something new
And it's for the best, but the best for who?
I wish I knew, oh
This is the sound of my heartbeat falling
This is the sound of my love recalling
This is the sound of the dogs, they're howling
Calling to the moon
Can we explode
And come back together like the rising sun?
We'll be as one
Can we explode?
We'll rearrange the pieces in a different light
We'll make it right
Can we explode?
And take the total sum of us and make it one
Thy will be done
Can we explode?
All the missing parts of me are parts of you
We'll make it through
You and I, we hurt each other so deep
The track lines
The finger nails are down my spine
Has it got so hard we have to sew it up?
Oh, give it in
Oh
This is the sound of my love imploding
This is the sound of the years dissolving
This is the sound of my love hound howling
Calling to the moon.
Can we explode
And come back together like the rising sun?
We'll be as one
Can we explode?
We'll rearrange the pieces in a different light
We'll make it right
Can we explode?
And take the total sum of us and make it one
Thy will be done
Can we explode?
All the missing parts of me are parts of you
We'll make it through.
And all the pieces of love will find one another
And all the words left unsaid will say one another
There's a fire in me and a flame in my brother
From a tiny little spark to love
Can we explode?
Can we explode?
This is the sound of my heartbeat falling
(This is the sound)
This is the sound of my love recalling
(Oh, this is the sound)
This is the sound of the dogs, they're howling
(Oh no)
Calling to the moon
Oh, can we explode
And come back together like the rising sun?
(Like the rising sun)
We'll be as one
Can we explode?
We'll rearrange the pieces in a different light
We'll make it right
Can we explode?
And take the total sum of us and make it one
Thy will be done
Can we explode?
All the missing parts of me are parts of you
We'll make it through
Oh, can we explode?
Straight ahead, ignoring all the danger signs
And it's something that I knew before
I knew before, oh
In the dark, a supernova can't keep
A burning sun from changing into something new
And it's for the best, but the best for who?
I wish I knew, oh
This is the sound of my heartbeat falling
This is the sound of my love recalling
This is the sound of the dogs, they're howling
Calling to the moon

And come back together like the rising sun?
We'll be as one

We'll make it right
Can we explode?
And take the total sum of us and make it one

Thy will be done
Can we explode?
All the missing parts of me are parts of you
We'll make it through
Oh, can we explode?
Perfect lyrics - Darren Hayes
Your love is a sonnet written on an empty shore
Sealed into a bottle and lost at sea.
Your love is an army trying to apologize
Your love is a soldier tired of war.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
But our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending
A story that continues never, evermore.
Your love is a whisper trying to become a roar.
Your love is a child crying out for more.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
Cause our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending
A story that continues never, evermore.
Cause I felt it
It cut deep.
It left a scar in my memory.
But your love was burned into me.
You've been hiding away
You've been hiding away.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand.
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
But our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending...
A story that continues never, evermore.
(Never, evermore.)
Cause our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending...
A story that continues never, evermore.
(Oh...)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Sealed into a bottle and lost at sea.
Your love is an army trying to apologize
Your love is a soldier tired of war.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
But our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending
A story that continues never, evermore.
Your love is a whisper trying to become a roar.
Your love is a child crying out for more.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
Cause our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending
A story that continues never, evermore.
Cause I felt it
It cut deep.
It left a scar in my memory.
But your love was burned into me.
You've been hiding away
You've been hiding away.
And all it could have been is like a symbol in the sand.
And all our wasted love is like a language I don't understand.
But our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending...
A story that continues never, evermore.
(Never, evermore.)
Cause our love was perfect.
Pieces of a puzzle lying on the floor.
Beginning and ending...
A story that continues never, evermore.
(Oh...)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Our love...
(You've been hiding away)
Perfect.
(You've been hiding away)
Tiny Little Flashlights lyrics - Darren Hayes
Listen, listen to me
This plane is gonna crash
It's only moments, you see
I never thought this could happen to me
I see my whole life flash in a perfect vision
Look out the window, and we're tumbling to the ground
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red lights leading the way to my heart
And when you're upside-down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Listen, listen to the roar
We're breaking up; we just lost engine number four
And as we're spiraling and crashing into the sea
I find a kind of stillness, baby
Within the chaos, it's finally just you and me
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red lights leading the way to my heart
And when you're upside-down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
And we are just spinning wheels
Have we lost our landing gear?
And we are just spinning wheels
'Til there's nothing left to feel
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red lights blinking their way to my heart
And when you're upside-down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark, ohh
Tiny little red lights leading the way to my heart
This plane is gonna crash
It's only moments, you see
I never thought this could happen to me
I see my whole life flash in a perfect vision
Look out the window, and we're tumbling to the ground
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red lights leading the way to my heart
And when you're upside-down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Listen, listen to the roar
We're breaking up; we just lost engine number four
And as we're spiraling and crashing into the sea
I find a kind of stillness, baby
Within the chaos, it's finally just you and me
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red lights leading the way to my heart
And when you're upside-down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
And we are just spinning wheels
Have we lost our landing gear?
And we are just spinning wheels
'Til there's nothing left to feel
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little red lights blinking their way to my heart
And when you're upside-down, and smoke is in the air
And when you're falling apart
You see those tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark
Tiny little flashlights leading the way in the dark, ohh
Tiny little red lights leading the way to my heart
Nothing lyrics - Darren Hayes
Come inside stop scratchin at my door
Live inside me help me count the ways you once adored
Lovers need a place to lay their head
As a broken promise returns too late
Another sunset meets an argument
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
How did my love turn into something
That you don't really want
Nothing nothing nothing
Our love turns into
Nothing nothing nothing
Our love turns into
When did your eyes get so icy blue
When did you stop seeing me as a reflection of you
Take me to the place of broken dreams
Where your hope deserted or showed up late
And tore apart the love we might have made
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
How did my love turn into something
That you don't really want
And we both know what you're thinking
But we cut through the straight lines
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing,
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into
No more excuses for turning away
You can't stop a heartache by running away
I can't sit back and watch love fade to gray
Ooooh
And into nothing at all
How did our love turn into something that you don't really want
And we both know what you're thinking
But we cut through the straight lines
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
Nothing nothing nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing,
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into
Ooooh
But we cut through the straight lines
Ooooh
Live inside me help me count the ways you once adored
Lovers need a place to lay their head
As a broken promise returns too late
Another sunset meets an argument
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
How did my love turn into something
That you don't really want
Nothing nothing nothing
Our love turns into
Nothing nothing nothing
Our love turns into
When did your eyes get so icy blue
When did you stop seeing me as a reflection of you
Take me to the place of broken dreams
Where your hope deserted or showed up late
And tore apart the love we might have made
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
How did my love turn into something
That you don't really want
And we both know what you're thinking
But we cut through the straight lines
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing,
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into
No more excuses for turning away
You can't stop a heartache by running away
I can't sit back and watch love fade to gray
Ooooh
And into nothing at all
How did our love turn into something that you don't really want
And we both know what you're thinking
But we cut through the straight lines
Fade out of nowhere into nothing
Into nothing at all
Nothing nothing nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing,
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into nothing, nothing, nothing
Our love turns into
Ooooh
But we cut through the straight lines
Ooooh
Glorious lyrics - Darren Hayes
You will never get older and you will never feel pain
Or fill the room with laughter like you used to
And I won't hear you speaking or others call your name
In spite of this the world will still continue
And you will always remain in my heart forever young
Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time
And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold
But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young
I'm a little bit hopeful that we all carry on
But part of me still thinks we are just stardust
And from the highest mountain I went to make a sound
I thought that if I called out you would answer
But no one did
And you will always remain in my heart forever young
Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time
And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold
But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young
I know the rules of the game
For every sunset the light has to fade
But baby a light like yours was so glorious
Glorious
Or fill the room with laughter like you used to
And I won't hear you speaking or others call your name
In spite of this the world will still continue
And you will always remain in my heart forever young
Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time
And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold
But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young
I'm a little bit hopeful that we all carry on
But part of me still thinks we are just stardust
And from the highest mountain I went to make a sound
I thought that if I called out you would answer
But no one did
And you will always remain in my heart forever young
Sun and wind won't change you and you'll escape the hands of time
And now your beauty won't betray you and your future's paved with gold
But in my mind you are suspended and you will be forever young
I know the rules of the game
For every sunset the light has to fade
But baby a light like yours was so glorious
Glorious
A Fear Of Fallling Under lyrics - Darren Hayes
Deep into the water
Deep into the dark
Deep into the places
Stories have to start
Peel open the layers
Go in for the kill
Bite into the onion
Taste it for the thrill
Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of diving too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of what the truth sees
Secrets I will tell
Reach into the top hat
Reach in all alone
Reach in for a rabbit
Come up with a stone
Searching for pieces
Pieces left behind
Discarded moments
In the junkyard of my mind
Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of diving too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of what the truth sees
Secrets I will tell
What came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what?
Deep into the dark
Deep into the places
Stories have to start
Peel open the layers
Go in for the kill
Bite into the onion
Taste it for the thrill
Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of diving too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of what the truth sees
Secrets I will tell
Reach into the top hat
Reach in all alone
Reach in for a rabbit
Come up with a stone
Searching for pieces
Pieces left behind
Discarded moments
In the junkyard of my mind
Got a fear of falling under
Underneath the dream
A fear of diving too deep
Deep beneath the seams
A fear of falling under
Underneath the spell
A fear of what the truth sees
Secrets I will tell
What came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what came first
Love, hurt?
Love, hurt?
Oh, what?
Who Would Have Thought lyrics - Darren Hayes
Nobody told you
That a heart is like a deep, deep freeze
So many lies so much of it broken
Nobody told you
Deep within a well so cavenous
That maybe I could shed some light on
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
Nobody told you
There'd be days of silence that no one heard
A river swells and overwhelms you
And nobody told you
Deep within a heart so ravenous
That maybe I could spare a beat for
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you, it's always been you
Now tell me
Who would have thought
It could be this amazing?
Now, who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Tell me, who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
That a heart is like a deep, deep freeze
So many lies so much of it broken
Nobody told you
Deep within a well so cavenous
That maybe I could shed some light on
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
Nobody told you
There'd be days of silence that no one heard
A river swells and overwhelms you
And nobody told you
Deep within a heart so ravenous
That maybe I could spare a beat for
Who would have thought
It could be amazing?
Who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you
I had to find you, had to let you know
That you aren't all alone, yeah
We didn't make the rules
I had to find you, had to get right back
To you, it's always been you
Now tell me
Who would have thought
It could be this amazing?
Now, who would have thought
The tiny courageous?
Tell me, who would have thought
That love so belated
Could save me
And bring me back to you?
Waking The Monster lyrics - Darren Hayes
The professor is building
Something extraordinary
From the first signs
Well I knew he would hide it from me
Clang, clang, rattle, and buzz
There's a helicopter blade
And a bit of a truck
He's got no more quality time
To be going on adventures
Spending mornings on Blackheath
Using a Ouija board
Or finding hidden places
That had never been sought, I pray
Origami full of grace
The professor is mad
And he's working a feverish pace
Diabolical delicious things
Something is bad
And it's something within me
[Chorus:]
Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring
Disastardly it's got the best of me
The professor is building
All kinds of devilish device
Won't part with a singular bit of enlightenment
Bang, crash, glitter, and bug
There's a phonographic needle
And a stereo heart
He's got no plans to make an announcement
No preliminary sketches
Or advice to impart in me
One ounce of jealousy
Fifty-seven gallons juvenile delinquency
Super supremacy
I've gotta find an answer
Gotta fashion a skeleton key
Diabolical delicious deeds
Something's bad
And it's shrouded of secrecy
[Chorus]
(There are really four dimensions
Three...which we call the three planes of space
And a fourth
Time)
The professor is building
Something extraordinary
Behind bars
And a door he won't open for me
Kind words and the barrel of a gun
Will make him come to grips
Make him face up to what he's done
[Chorus x2]
Something extraordinary

How To Build A Time Machine lyrics - Darren Hayes
If I have understood correctly
Velocity equals the distance traveled
Divided by time
I've read every word ever printed
On quantum physics
And now it is time to try
I read your book, I found your notes
I dusted this thing off and turned on
The key
The rumbling motors
The buzzing incredible gadgets
The hissing electricity
And now the moment has come
I'm traveling back in time
They're running down the hall
I've started the countdown
They want me to stop
But I don't think so
I'm ready to go
Let's get the job done
Beyond the paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling
Pass the planes, and trains, and satellite navigation
Pass the time I spent today
Through the nearest wormhole
In a stunning ball
Of white
The light explodes and lands on you
And you're five
Always running away
And I was dying to kiss you
And I
I don't want to cry
I don't want to see
Where the moving van takes you
So I travel on
Beyond the stars
At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second
I can fly
Forward a few years
To nineteen hundred and seventy nine
I caught a glimpse of the sky
They're coming down the road
They're coming to get me
I never should have come
I hide the time machine
I'm running down the hall
I think I'm in my old house
Pass the place where I grew up
Number nine Lake Road
Pass the swimming pool
And Mable park
And past Troy Clifford's house
To the Argonaut (?)
To the fish and chip shop
Out the back and down the road
To the place I got beat up
Hey, put that rock down
Can't you see he's half your size?
Hey, he looks familiar
Oh my god, he's me, age nine
Put your shoes on
And run away from here
I can't get involved
This is all so weird
I'm meeting myself
This is all so clear
All the things I've lost
All the people I've hurt
All the times I lied
All the moments wasted
All I never did
All the dreams I had
All the things I would change
I can change them
All the things I've lost
All the people I've hurt
All the times I lied
All the moments wasted
I'm gonna make right
What I did wrong
And change how the future has come
Through appliance of science
I'll take a hold of my enemies
Take their obscenities
Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who've gone
I'll call my dad
I'll tell him I miss him
And tell my reflection: 'it's not your fault'
And now the moment has come
I'm traveling back in time
They're running down the hall
I've started the countdown
They want me to stop
But I don't think so
I'm ready to go
Let's get the job done
Put your shoes on and
Run away from here
I can't get involved
This is all so weird (It's me aged nine)
Let's get the job done
All the things I've lost
All the people I've hurt
All the times I lied
All the moments wasted
All I never did
All the dreams I had
All the things I would change
I can change them
Beyond the paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling
Pass the planes, and trains, and satellite navigation
Pass the time I spent today
Through the nearest wormhole
In a stunning ball
Of white
The light explodes into another moment
Velocity equals the distance traveled

Casey lyrics - Darren Hayes
Driving in your car
With the windows down
And the beat up stereo
Struggle with this town
Cuz you love to hate it
And hate it to let it go
And we're all alone
And so tired of being
Underrated
So don't take me home
Cuz I feel alive
When you come and save me
A yellow car
Speeding down the Southside freeway
We'll rewrite this movie
Make it end like we want it to
And Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory...
Of when we were amazing
1989
Summer had hit
But it was not moving
What is it with this town?
Every time we win
It just feels like losing
We were never gonna fit in
I was a mixed up kid
And you were my sanity
In a yellow car
We don't even have to go far
Cuz that song you're playing
Sounds like peace on the radio
And Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory
Of when we were amazing
When we were amazing
I know things will change
Casey stay the same
Take me away
Oh, we don't have to go far
Yeah, we don't have to go far
I know
Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory
Of when we were
When we were
Casey
When you go
Can you come and find me
Wanna be beside you
When you leave this town
I've been waving goodbye
Pretending not to cry
I want to be someone
If you take me away
All the pain will change
Into a memory
Of when we were amazing
When we were
Driving in your car
With the windows down
And the beat up stereo
Oh, oh
I wanna
I'm gonna
I wanna
Be someone
I wanna
I'm gonna
I wanna
Be someone
(I will run to you
I will come to you
I will run to you
I will come to you)
Come on and get me
Come on and rescue me
(I will run to you
I will come to you
I will run to you
I will come to you)
Coming through the sky
Like a satellite
Like a radio wave
A meteorite
With the windows down
And the beat up stereo
Struggle with this town
Cuz you love to hate it
And hate it to let it go
And we're all alone
And so tired of being
Underrated
So don't take me home
Cuz I feel alive

Step Into The Light lyrics - Darren Hayes
I have turned away from you
And I am godless
A wasteland of poison
A hidden fortress
I have blackened out the stars
And hidden frequencies
I have silenced all the waves
And forbidden secrecies
So step into your light
This dog doesn't bite, oh
I just wanna be your friend
You know, I've never been in love before
I've never been in love before
There is nothing of you now
No ghost, no not a trace
No flower, not a seed
Nor perfume in your place
I have searched amidst
A barren plane of emptiness
I am worthless, It is futile
You're invisible, I am infantile
So step into your light, oh
This dog doesn't bite, oh
I just wanna be your friend
You know, I've never been in love before
I've never been in love before
I have murdered the divine in me
Set the goodness free
I have squandered it all
I am less than the sum
I am parts of the whole
There is something missing
There is something I stole
(There is something I stole) [x4]
Why have you forsaken me?
Where do you hide?
I feel the betrayal
Simmers, it blisters
It digs down and burrows
Deeper inside, more than a try
(I've never been in love before)
I cannot deny
(I've never been in love before)
That it...
(I've never been in love before)
It feels like...[x6]
(I've never been in love before) [x6]
Love
So step into the light, oh
This dog doesn't bite, oh
I just wanna be your friend
You know that I've never been in love before
I've never been in love before
So step into the light, oh
You know this dog doesn't bite, oh
They caught up our hands
You know, I've never been in love before
And I am godless
A wasteland of poison
A hidden fortress
I have blackened out the stars
And hidden frequencies
I have silenced all the waves
And forbidden secrecies
So step into your light
This dog doesn't bite, oh
I just wanna be your friend
You know, I've never been in love before
I've never been in love before
There is nothing of you now
No ghost, no not a trace
No flower, not a seed
Nor perfume in your place
I have searched amidst
A barren plane of emptiness
I am worthless, It is futile
You're invisible, I am infantile
So step into your light, oh

Love
So step into the light, oh
This dog doesn't bite, oh
I just wanna be your friend
You know that I've never been in love before
I've never been in love before
So step into the light, oh
You know this dog doesn't bite, oh
They caught up our hands
You know, I've never been in love before
Sing To Me lyrics - Darren Hayes
You step behind a curtain
In a moment you were gone
Nothing's ever certain
And it's hard to carry on
This is not what we planned
And I know its hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
If this isn't what you need pry my fingers from your hand
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me
You step beneath the landslide
Nothing feels right when you're wrong
And try to find an upside
Try to sing without a song
This is not what we planned
And I know its hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me
I keep seeing flashes of your hands
When I close my eyes
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
Help me make sense of what I don't understand
'Cause I've gotta know why
I've gotta know why
Tell me why do you sing to me?
And maybe it's just meant to be
That you would sing to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Could you come sing for me?
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Would you come sing for me?
Sing for me
In a moment you were gone
Nothing's ever certain
And it's hard to carry on
This is not what we planned
And I know its hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
If this isn't what you need pry my fingers from your hand
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me
You step beneath the landslide
Nothing feels right when you're wrong
And try to find an upside
Try to sing without a song
This is not what we planned
And I know its hard to understand
But if this isn't what you want then
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to haunt me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me
Sing to me
I keep seeing flashes of your hands
When I close my eyes
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
Help me make sense of what I don't understand
'Cause I've gotta know why
I've gotta know why
Tell me why do you sing to me?
And maybe it's just meant to be
That you would sing to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Could you come sing for me?
And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Would you come sing for me?
Sing for me
A Conversation With God lyrics - Darren Hayes
We're driving
Just me and God
It's raining
It's raining hard
The windows
Are steaming up
The bridge
Engulfed by fog
The rust of
The metal bridge
It beckons
It pulls me in
I argue
I scream at God
And what he's offering
[Chorus:]
My hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off
My thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no lighthouse or way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering
I'm driving
I talk to God
He's screaming
I only nod
I need to
Be where you are
The leaves and trees
Are shaking
It's raining
The bullets melt
The hunger
Of hunger itself
It's draining, but pain has reservoirs
It keeps for itself
[Chorus]
I'm falling
I'm not myself
I'm diving
I'm underneath
The hull of
A mighty ship
That steams away from here
The bubbles
The surface race
They shine and
They replicate
I hear it
The Voice of God
Is laced with sarcasm
In your hands
And my thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no light
How's the way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering
My hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off
Just me and God
It's raining
It's raining hard
The windows
Are steaming up
The bridge
Engulfed by fog
The rust of
The metal bridge
It beckons
It pulls me in
I argue
I scream at God
And what he's offering
[Chorus:]
My hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off
My thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no lighthouse or way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering
I'm driving
I talk to God
He's screaming
I only nod
I need to
Be where you are
The leaves and trees
Are shaking
It's raining
The bullets melt
The hunger
Of hunger itself
It's draining, but pain has reservoirs
It keeps for itself
[Chorus]
I'm falling
I'm not myself
I'm diving
I'm underneath
The hull of
A mighty ship
That steams away from here
The bubbles
The surface race
They shine and
They replicate
I hear it
The Voice of God
Is laced with sarcasm
In your hands
And my thoughts run off the beaten track
There's no light
How's the way back
Take the hand of God
And bite the feeder
No more lingering
My hands fly off the steering wheel
Can't recall getting here
If I could, I would reach behind
And turn my light off
The Sun Is Always Blinding Me lyrics - Darren Hayes
From the top of a church on a hill
To the tip of a dragonfly wing
From the shine off a hood of cab
To a shimmering diamond within on a ring
That was worn through two world wars
From a smile that soars though its old and worn
And two blue eyes forever seeming cold
[Chorus:]
The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And one day everybody will be alright
Go on blinding me with her light
From the glare of a red traffic light
To the blur of a bicycle wheel
From the flare of a camera lens
To a fluorescent light that ignites and displays
Someone leaving a goodbye note
From a pen made of steel and reflection of hope
And to some words to stir an aching soul
[Chorus]
From a fire that burns in the darkest well
Of a cave so enslaved
I can hear her yell, I can tell
This bird just wants to be free
So set her free
And if this world should ever leave you cold
[Chorus x2]
To the tip of a dragonfly wing
From the shine off a hood of cab
To a shimmering diamond within on a ring
That was worn through two world wars
From a smile that soars though its old and worn
And two blue eyes forever seeming cold
[Chorus:]
The sun is always blinding me with her light
The day is always hiding behind the night
And one day everybody will be alright
Go on blinding me with her light
From the glare of a red traffic light
To the blur of a bicycle wheel
From the flare of a camera lens
To a fluorescent light that ignites and displays
Someone leaving a goodbye note
From a pen made of steel and reflection of hope
And to some words to stir an aching soul
[Chorus]
From a fire that burns in the darkest well
Of a cave so enslaved
I can hear her yell, I can tell
This bird just wants to be free
So set her free
And if this world should ever leave you cold
[Chorus x2]
Listen All You People lyrics - Darren Hayes
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
The departed
And the broken-hearted
I've got time for you
You can call your friends
For we're headed on a journey
All the lonely
The mad
All the bad
Hold a sec
I've got a message for you
Nothing's peaches and cream
Nothing's quite what it seems
They've been lying to you
All you unhappy wives
All you pregnant brides
All you geeks
And you queens
All you sick
And you poor
All the drunks
On the floor
Well, I'm calling to you
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
The departed
And the broken-hearted
I've got time for you
You can call your friends
For we're headed on a journey
We've been held down
We've been pushed down now
We're through
All the freaks
All the queers
All the thumbs
All the steers
Well it's time to give in
There's crack in the door
It's okay to want more
You've been dying for years
All the races you lost
All the loveless that cost you
The hard earned sleep
All the stifled reactions
The screams you been acting
Like no one can hear you
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
The departed
And the broken-hearted
I've got time for you
Sending out a message
Gotta get to you
Sending out a message
Is it coming through
(Sending out a message
Gotta get to you
Sending out a message
Is it coming through)
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
We've been held down
We've been pushed down now
We're through
Listen all you people
Are you lonely and deserted?
All you lonely and deserted
The departed
And the broken-hearted
I've got time for you
You can call your friends
For we're headed on a journey
All the lonely
The mad
All the bad
Hold a sec
I've got a message for you
Nothing's peaches and cream
Nothing's quite what it seems
They've been lying to you
All you unhappy wives
All you pregnant brides
All you geeks
And you queens
All you sick
And you poor
All the drunks
On the floor
Well, I'm calling to you
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
The departed
And the broken-hearted
I've got time for you
You can call your friends
For we're headed on a journey
We've been held down
We've been pushed down now
We're through
All the freaks
All the queers
All the thumbs
All the steers
Well it's time to give in
There's crack in the door
It's okay to want more
You've been dying for years
All the races you lost
All the loveless that cost you
The hard earned sleep
All the stifled reactions
The screams you been acting
Like no one can hear you
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
The departed
And the broken-hearted
I've got time for you
Sending out a message
Gotta get to you
Sending out a message
Is it coming through
(Sending out a message
Gotta get to you
Sending out a message
Is it coming through)
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
Listen all you people
All you lonely and deserted
We've been held down
We've been pushed down now
We're through
Listen all you people
Are you lonely and deserted?
The Only One lyrics - Darren Hayes
In a world so cynical
You came in and changed the ball
From black to white
And made me right
This is all atypical
No one else has had the time
To read the signs
You are the only one
No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
I've got such a jealous side
Reaching out
I try to hide
My infant stride
And in my mind
This is all so prototype
Make it wrong to make it feel right
Don't deny it
'Cause you are the only one
No one can keep me from
The danger I possess
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
And when they make the call
For one last drink
When my self-esteem seems below
And when no one knows it
When the colors all collide inside
Well, I can barely hide
You are the only one
No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
There is no other
No one else I place above you
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
You came in and changed the ball
From black to white
And made me right
This is all atypical
No one else has had the time
To read the signs
You are the only one
No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
I've got such a jealous side
Reaching out
I try to hide
My infant stride
And in my mind
This is all so prototype
Make it wrong to make it feel right
Don't deny it
'Cause you are the only one
No one can keep me from
The danger I possess
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
And when they make the call
For one last drink
When my self-esteem seems below
And when no one knows it
When the colors all collide inside
Well, I can barely hide
You are the only one
No one else can keep me from
The danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
There is no other
No one else I place above you
You are the only one
And now I love you even more
Than I did before
