Bleachers - Strange Desire Album Lyrics

They closed the parkway late last night
And as I sat with the echoes of lies that I told
I felt young, never changed by crooked hearts
So put the shotgun back in the glove
Come on and wait another year for dreams far away
To come home, to be brave

Well, everything has changed
And now it's only you that matters
I will find any way to your wild heart

They boarded up the windows and the doors to my house
No one will ever read the letters or the lies that I told
From the years I was changed
By crooked hearts
Why did they have to go and do us like that?
Why did they have to go and run from the dream far away

Were we there? Was I brave?

To think everything must die
For anyone to matter
Got to find any way to your wild heart
I will find any way to your wild heart
I will find any way

Everything has changed and
Now I can't tell what matters
I will find any way to your wild heart
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
(Your wild heart)

It was summer when I saw your face
Looked like a teenage runaway
Oh god I never thought we'd take it that far
Some killer queen you are

Now I'm running and I can't stop anywhere I go
I think about it everyday and night I can't let go
Man, I'm never the same
We were shot gun lovers, I'm a shot gun running away

So come a little closer
There was something I can tell ya
It was such a rollercoaster
And a killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

We took the bones out from the road
Those endless nights that we traveled we stole
You let your clothes fall to the floor
And lit a fire while I waited for more

Now I'm running and I won't stop I don't wanna go
I think about it everyday and night I can't let go
And hey, I'm never the same
It's a hundred miles an hour on a dirt road running away

So come a little closer
There was something I can tell ya
It was such a rollercoaster
And a killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

Come a little closer
Why don't you come a little closer?
Why don't you come a little closer?

There was something I can tell ya
It was such a rollercoaster
And a killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

Some girls
Some girls they really just wanna hurt you
And there's some boys
Some boys that laugh when they break your heart
But how love dies is a place that I'm not going
And we could try, cause

[Chorus:]
If you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow
And if you're feeling small
I'll love your shadow

There are those girls
Those girls that are waiting by the phone on the weekend
Oh yeah, like those boys, those boys that are home with the broken hearts
But the heart wants fear
So we're looking for a villain
I'll be there

[Chorus]

And I know that they have hurt you
And I know the love you gave feels cheap and used
And I know it's getting harder
And I know the lights have all gone dark on you
Still I will love your shadow
When the love you gave feels cheap and used
Yes I will love your shadow
When the lights have all gone dark on you

How love dies is a place that I'm not going
And we could try...

[Chorus]

(I wanna get)

Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken down television
And put on the weather
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
I frozen time between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test

I wanna get better

While my friends were getting high and chasing guys down parkway lines
I was losing my mind
'Cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
That I gave wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars

(Hey, I wanna get better)

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)

I go up to my room and there's guys on the ceiling
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
Now I'm a stranger
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
Mourn the years before I got carried away
So now I'm standin' on the overpass, screaming at the cars

(Hey, I wanna get better)

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)

Better, 'cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
I'm screaming out my bedroom window
Even if its gonna kill me, whoa-oh

(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)

I woke up early this morning before my family
From this dream where she was trying to show me
How a life can move from the darkness
She said to get better

So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
And I crash my car 'cause I wanna get carried away
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars

(Hey, I wanna get better)

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)
(Get, get, get, get, I wanna get)

Right from the start I knew
You'd set a fire in me
And I'd rather be sad with you
Than anywhere away from you

And hey
I can't believe I captured your heart
Oh whoa oh
I can't believe I captured your heart

Stake my life on it
If somebody's gonna quit
Then I'd rather be sad with you
Than with any other girls but you

And hey
I can't believe I captured your heart
Oh whoa oh
I can't believe I captured your heart

If you're lonely lonely lonely wake me
I can't believe I captured your heart

Right from the start I knew
You'd set a fire in me
And I'd rather be sad with you
Than anywhere away from you

And hey
I can't believe I captured your heart
Oh whoa oh
I can't believe I captured your heart

I could use a bad disguise
to guard me on the darkest nights
I keep finding my way to the harshest words
I got a strange, strange vision of a reckless love

Whoa, standing in world of my own
they call it reckless love, whoa, whoa

So give me a chance to remember
what I've given up to defend ya
I would burn my dreams away
just to stand in the thankless shadows
of your reckless love

Whoa, standing in a world of my own
they call it reckless love, whoa, whoa

Get out, stand back
if you don't let go, you're gonna break me, and you
get out, stand back
if you don't let go, you're gonna break me, and you
get out, stand back,
if you don't let go, you're gonna break me, and you
get out, stand back
if you don't let go, you're gonna break me

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

So give me a chance to remember
what I've given up to defend ya
that I burned my dreams away
to stand in the broken shadows
of your reckless love
your thankless love
your restless love
a thankless love
your reckless love's a thankless love

I'll let you take it, I'll let you take it, I'll let you
I know you're sorry
I'll let you take it, I'll let you take it, I'll let you
I'll let you take it
(Now you're hungry and you want to take me away, take me away)
I know you're, I, I know you're sorry
(You pushed me farther than I've been)
(Falling for me, me)

I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry
I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry

I've broke my silence in an angry yell,
(I know you, you)
Someone who'll take you long way home
And now you're hungry and you want to
Take me away, take me away
I know you're sorry
I felt like a fool,
I understand that you're
I'll be in the shadows above
That you had ever seen me coming

I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry
I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry

I'll be in the shadows above
(I, I I know you're sorry)
Better off before you, alone
I'm waiting to find out
Love will wake us, love won't break us
Love will take you
And if I can find, find a way out of myself again

I woke up thinking you were still here
My hands shaking with regret
I've held this dream for such a long long time
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
That beats, that beats like a rolling drum

I saw you standing on the corner
I saw you standing on your own
And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
That beats, that beats like a drum

When I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember your light

Your light it follows me in darkness
I'm trying hard but I can't win
And I've played the victim for a long long time
And I wanna grow up
From the rhythm a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart
It leads just like a river runs

That night I sent over the parkway
The summer's gone and I'm alone
And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart
It beats, been beating since you've gone

When I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember

When I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
And I know you're gone but still I will remember your light

I will remember [x4]

And if you see me in the darkness
I hope you know I'm not alone
I carry you with every breath I take
I won't let up, I won't let up
Until the wind is gone

Thought I wanted to forget my past
Tried to leave the pieces of a broken man
What it cost I ain't ever getting back
So I'm breaking the lines 'cause I wanna remember

Man I was feeling like I never was young
Followed a dream and a strange desire
You picked me up in the dead of the night
And gave me a chance to move on inside of your mystery

Maybe I don't need to understand
Why your love is such mystery [x2]

Want to give you something better than I've been
I wanna write your name up on my wall
Wake you up in the dead of the night
Breaking the lines just trying to get better

Man I was feeling like I never was young
No nothing simple 'bout the simple days I mourn
If what I lost ain't ever coming back
Then I can find a way to move inside of your mystery

Maybe I don't need to understand
Why your love is such mystery [x2]

No god holding on tightly
Your love holy inside me [x4]

Someday I'm gonna make this right
Someday when the lights are low
Someday I'm gonna get on my knees
Someday baby I'm gonna beg you [x2]

Maybe I don't need to understand
Why your love is such a mystery [x2]

(Cracks on its surface made it clear that there's warm water bubbling up from within)
(Cracks on its surface made it clear that there's warm water bubbling up from within)
(Cracks on its surface made it clear that there's warm water bubbling up from within)
(Cracks on its surface made it clear that there's warm water bubbling up from within)

Snow is falling all the time
Snow is smiling all the time
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to move on

(Cracks on its surface made it clear that there's warm water bubbling up from within)

They closed the parkway late last night
And as I sat with the echoes of the lies that I told
I felt young, never changed by crooked hearts
So put the shotgun back in the glove
Come on and wait another year for the dream far away
To come home, to be brave

Snow is falling all the time
Snow is smiling all the time
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to move on

They boarded up the windows and the doors to my house
No one will ever read the letters of the lies that I told
From the years I was changed by crooked hearts
Why did they have to go and do us like that?
Why did they have to go and run from the dream far away?
We're we there? Was that brave?

To think everything must die
For anyone to matter
Got to find any way to your wild heart
I will find any way to your wild heart
I will find any way

Now everything has changed
And I can't tell what matters
I will find any way to your wild heart

Tired of chasing my dreams
They're always twisting
Always scream
To follow down the strangest roads
In back seats indoors

I will love what you want me to love
Oh, I will bleed when you want me to bleed
But I don't want to know too much of anything
Because it all hurts me

Come on, don't push me down that road

I'm always twisting, always sold
I'm follow, all made up how you'd like
In back seats, indoors

I will love what you want me to love
Oh, I will bleed when you want me to bleed
But I don't want to know too much of anything
Because it all hurts me
Oh it all hurts me
