Hawk Nelson - Hawk Nelson...Is My Friend! Lyrics






You Have What I Need

I've tried my best to hear out the masses,
I've heard it all, from A to Z.
I've read it all, been to all of the classes,
And still I'm tryin' but I just can't see through the smoke.

And I don't want it, this confusion,
I don't want a false solution.
Give me something to hold on to,
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need.

I know it's hard to be yourself when
you're not sure just who that is.
All I wanted was satisfaction,
but all I got was empty fists.
Can you hear me?

And I don't want it, this confusion,
I don't want a false solution.
Give me something to hold on to,
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need.

All I wanted was honesty,
and that was something only you give.
It took forever just to realize that I had to give myself away,
so I could see your face and learn how to live.
I can't erase your mark,
you may take every thing else away.

And I don't want it, this confusion,
I don't want a false solution.
Give me something to hold on to,
I want what you have 'cause you have what I need.

I want what you have 'cause you have what I need.

Friend Like That

I like it simple and I'm not a superman
I never said that I was more than that
I'm not a wannabe, I'm who I wanna be
And I intend to be how You created me

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me

Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that

I once was little and I always had a plan
You thought my friendliness was just an act
I'll be your friend indeed, and you can count on me
And I can guarantee, your friend I'll always be

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me

Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that

Does anyone out there feel alone
Can anyone hear me
Down and out, your heart is cold
It's never easy
But if you believe that there is hope
Than sing it with me

Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that
Hey let me hear ya say
Does anybody feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let's scream and shout
If you know what I'm talkin' `bout
Anybody got a friend like that

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I'm not the only one who feels like this
I've got a few others around me

Turn It On

Another Friday with the TV on
Listenin' to the same old song
How long will this carry on
Can I survive another weekend
Another night in my room pacin'
Another date with the playstation
Can't take it much longer
I just need something stronger

Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Make it strong, sing your song to the very end
Cause tonight we're alive and breathin'
Can you hear me, everyone near me
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Don't turn it off, cause this feeling doesn't have to end
I want to be, where you are, please take me
Just take me, shake me

Every calendar that goes by
Makes me take a look inside
I don't wanna just live my life
I want to mean something
Just another day to pass the clock
I'd do anything to make it stop
Can't take it much longer
I just need something stronger

Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Make it strong, sing your song to the very end
Cause tonight we're alive and breathin'
Can you hear me, everyone near me
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Don't turn it off, cause this feeling doesn't have to end
I want to be, where you are, please take me
Just take me, shake me

One Little Miracle

I know sometimes it's hard to find the strength to turn the page
When all of our tomorrows look like used up yesterdays

Maybe this path we're taking
Could really be the road to breaking free
Are you with me

One little revolution could turn it all around
Back to the Kingdom we once knew
Just a little bit of me, just a little bit of you
One little miracle to get us through

Broken, empty promises are all we knew before
Our father's dreams of better days lay shattered on the floor

It's not too late to start believin'
Take me by the hand I'm reaching out
How about now

One little revolution could turn it all around
Back to the Kingdom we once knew
Just a little bit of me, and a little bit of you
One little miracle to get us through

We can right the wrong
From this moment on

One little revolution could turn it all around
Back to the Kingdom we once knew
Just a little bit of me, and a little bit of you
One little miracle to get us through

Lets Dance

They teach us how to talk, they'll teach us how to walk
They'll teach us how to dance just like this
They'll teach us how to dress in nothin' but the best
It's all about success

Why do we fill our heads
With these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess

And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live, like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's dance

They teach us how to roll, make em lots of dough
Money is the god we work for
Keep up with the style, this artificial smile
Will only last a while

Why do we fill our heads
With these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess

And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live, like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's dance

Ancient History

Some girls tell you what you wanna hear
Those girls always make it very clear
But I know things are not what they appear
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all
We talk hours on the telephone
But you shut down when we're alone
You stop us from being close
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all

There's no rhyme and there's no reason

She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself, herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history

Some guys try to hide the way they feel
And sometimes it takes someone to break the seal
You can't negotiate a one-way deal
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all
I'll wait I've got the patience of a saint
I just don't want you to hesitate
Cause you don't ever wanna mess with fate
Nothing from nothing gets you nothing at all

There's no rhyme and there's no reason

She don't want anything other than
She don't need anyone other than
She don't see anyone but herself, herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history

Don't mislead me, don't mistreat me
I don't understand why you're wearing me down
Please believe me, why defeat me
I don't understand why you're breaking me down

She don't want anyone other than
She don't need anything other than
She don't see anyone but herself, herself
I don't want anyone other than
I don't need anyone other than
I will solve your mystery and make it ancient history

History, history...

Somebody Else

If I sold this guitar and a piece of my heart for you
Would you hop on a bus and leave just because would you

Are these dreams overrated?
Running from myself

I used to be somebody else
I'm holding out for a good reason
People around me, they all seem to tell me that I tend to change like the seasons
I used to be somebody else

This dream that I chose is too big for us both it's true
It hurts me the most now I feel like a ghost around you

Are these dreams overrated?
Running from myself

I used to be somebody else
I'm holding out for a good reason
The people around me they all seem to tell me that I tend to change
like the seasons
I used to be somebody else

Arms Around Me

When I hurt You, I never meant to hurt You
I'm just trying to work through things in my life
Emotions can be mean and I didn't really mean it
I never stopped believing in the truth

I'm not big on waiting
I could use some patience
This time I'm not afraid of losing

Wrap Your arms around me I know
Trying hard not to let go
Every time I stand up, I fall without You
When You wrap Your arms around me I know
With me wherever I go
Nothing else matters at all when You're here

You're always near me, even when it's ugly
Even when I'm screaming up to You
I'm thankful for Your mercy
You always seem to hear me
It's not always easy to push through

I'm not big on waiting
I could use some patience
This time I'm not afraid of losing
Cause I'm not one to frown when
The sun is going down and
I'm happy to just wait on You

Wrap Your arms around me I know
Trying hard not to let go
Every time I stand up, I fall without You
When You wrap Your arms around me I know
With me wherever I go
And nothing matters at all when You're here

I promise I'll never doubt You
You know I'm lost without You
Please hold me in Your arms tonight

Wrap Your arms around me I know
Trying hard not to let go
Every time I stand up, I fall without You
When You wrap Your arms around me I know
With me wherever I go
And nothing matters at all when You're here

Just Like Me

She shows up nervously and says
"It's time we settle up the score"
Cause all the things that I regret
Are all the things I've said before

Hard to ignore, I'd like you even more
But you're just like me

I talk behind your back
From this confidence I lack
Now is the time to make things right

But you're just like me

Just like me, just like me

I wanna sever all the ties that keep me bound throughout the night
But if I gossip all the time, these knots will never come untied

Thinking of myself, me, nobody else
And you're just like me

I talk behind your back
From this confidence I lack
Now is the time to make things right

But you're just like me

Just like me, just like me

You're not alone, you're not alone
You know we all are guilty
Join in the song and sing along
Sing the chorus with me
You're not alone, you're not alone
You know we all are guilty
Join in the song and sing along
Sing the chorus with me

I talk behind your back
From this confidence I lack
Now is the time to make things right

But you're just like me

Just like me, just like me

Not The Same

This evening at sundown
We meet in our small town
Everyone's going without ever knowing
To meet for the countdown
Our friends and our families
All hangout at Riley's
We stay for a while and jam out Guiel
Then walk on down George Street

And this road we choose, nothing to lose at all
That's the way it was and the way it is

Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Our lives in the fast lane
Though it's not the same without you
It's not the same without you

Shows at the Gordon Best
And hockey at Northcrest
Our malls were a disgrace
Remember Portage Place
When we got kicked out
And told to never show our face

This road we choose, nothing to lose at all
That's the way it was and the way it is

Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Our lives in the fast lane
Though it's not the same without you
It's not the same without you

We will keep, on our feet
In the streets that will never sleep

Gone are the old days
Now we're on to something new
Our lives in the fast lane
Though it's not the same without you
It's not the same without you

Words We Speak

She woke up with a tear-stained pillow
She just broke up with a nice young fellow
All those tears you cry, now it's time to say goodbye
You're on your own, you're all alone

We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can't bring us down
We've all failed and hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control

Can't comply we're perfect in your eyes
We fall down but it's just a part of life

All those tears you cry, now it's time to say goodbye you're on your
own you're all alone

We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can bring us down
We've all failed, hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control

Now I'm here to let you know
That we can't make it on our own
What's mine is yours I'm letting go
You know I'd never doubt you
You know I'm lost without you
I'm giving you control

We're better than the words you speak
So much more than incomplete
Figure out what life means out on our own
Words you say can't bring us down
We've all failed, hit the ground
Now it's time for us just to take control

I Still Miss You

There she was, 5'3 a picture of my mother's mother
She showed me love, and all the ways of God
Her final days were spent in bed where she passed away
I won't forget her smiling face when she left us that night

But I still miss you
All the times we spent together
To hear you talk about the weather
I always prayed you'd get well soon
I wish my prayers came true
I know Jesus has the answer
And He's way bigger than the cancer in you
But I still miss you

If dreams came true, just one more chance to talk to you
And thank you for the time you spent teaching me the truth
A boy back then, I've grown up, now I'm a man
I can finally understand the things you said to me

But I still miss you
All the times we spent together
To hear you talk about the weather
I always prayed you'd get well soon
I wish my prayers came true
I know Jesus has the answer
And He's way bigger than the cancer in you
But I still miss you

I need some help to carry on
I need some strength to keep me strong...
