Kings Of Leon - When You See Yourself Lyrics
When You See Yourself Are You Far Away?
Ooh
Ooh
The space in time would benefit
I've seen your kind at your very best
This long goodbye is overdue
You never came when I called on you
The bastard wind is on your back
The rabid dog has caught your track
The golden age of old advice
Don't give no cause or alibi
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night we'll be safe dear
One more night, one more night
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here
We're crystalized it's dawned on you
You have the face of someone new
The pleasures of this life I'm told
Will spit you out in the middle of the road
A scenic place the sky grows cold
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night we'll be safe dear
One more night, one more night
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here
Ooh
When you see yourself, are you far away?
Is it night or day?
Ooh
When it comes to you if you reach the moon
Can I be there too?
Ooh
When you see yourself, are you far away?
Is it night or day?
Ooh
When it comes to you if you reach the moon
Can I be there too?

The Bandit
Chiseled their names in stone
Heavy the load you tow
And the red horse is always close
And the fire don't burn below
Two hundred miles to clear
Chasing a sound I hear
When the call brings them all to tears
And the hopes they all turn to fears
And they're walking around
With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded
Must catch the bandit
Track in the dirt for days
Sniff out the fire ablaze
And the red door, it seems to sway
And it carries a heavy weight
And they're walking around
With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded
Must catch the bandit
And they're walking around
With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded
Must catch the bandit

100000 People
Rake at the moon where the river flows
Cut from the cloth of the winter's cold
Bound by the voice that no one hears
I've been around the way for years
Stray from the heart the more that you know
All gussied up with no place to go
Table side the one of your dreams
Get what you want and not what you need
Parlor games and six o'clock news
Hands of a stranger touching you
Wide awake incased in a dream
Everything is not as it seems
All your time is heaven sent
Days and the nights all start to blend
It's not like this town to set you free
The more you look the less you see
The tables set, the rose is out
You know what it is
Miles away from places you have been
The call was made to pull the shades
The start of something new
Still nothing makes me feel the way
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
The ones they say have come here before
All gather 'round in the corridor
I can't seem to place your name
Nor the face that I can't explain
In my mind you're everything
Lips don't move but voices still ring
The light inside has lost its glow
The more you see the less you know
The tables set, the rose is out
You know what this is
Miles away from places you have been
The call was made to pull the shades
The start of something new
Still nothing makes me feel the way
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
The seasons change
My mind erased
The stars all fade
But one remains the same
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
Your style
Your grace
Unveil the face
Only to say
Nothing takes the place
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do

Stormy Weather
Four in the morning
Came and you left without warning
Looking for a good time lover
A right now man
Running like a bull of Pamplona
Try as I might to control you
You're like smoke in my eyes
Close every time
Face of a starchild
Born in a sea, a mile high
Never seen a bad moon rise
It's the right time now, oh
Time away from here has never felt so long
Find your souvenir and make your way back home
I see stormy weather (weather)
This could be the place, the place
(Better) better late than never (never)
This is just a taste, a taste
Working the floor on the weekend
No one can spin it like we can
With no time to explain
You put a face to the name
The weight of the evening
Christ, I've been taking a beating
I could be your good time lover
Your right now man, oh
Time away from here has never felt so long
Quiet in the air never too far gone
Chasing through the night out there on your own
Find your souvenir and make your way back home
I see stormy weather (weather)
This could be the place, the place
(Better) better late than never (never)
This is just a taste
It's the right time now, oh

A Wave
Oh wave crash down on me
Until I'm whole again
Like days of old
I see myself and rise
I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go
A taste as bitter as before
We could waste all the best of times 'til we know
That lights and shapes they only fade
In the hold that washes all away
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
The rose's thorn still reaches out to pierce my skin
It grows me a warm and cloudys up my mind
Everybody has an opinion
And I don't like most of them
'Cause the life that we live is better living
Living alone
The taste, as bitter as before
We could waste all the best of times 'til we know
That lights and shapes they only fade
In the hold that washes all away
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave

Golden Restless Age
You smile
Your lips beguile
You look impeccable
Cutting through the room like a knife
Sharpened leather fastened tight
Oh so insatiable
It's such a sight
An apparition holding tight
Never to shy from the scene
Splash of sound
Just a bellow bouncin' 'round
There is a quiet to your scream
They fall, you rise
It's here, your time
The golden restless age
Time won't turn the page
You're only passing through a form of you
I look in your eyes and there's a rage
And time won't turn the page
It hits you headlong to go it alone
See the eyes how they shimmer
And how they shine
It's only personal
I watch you fall, breakneek speed
Lie in wait
Aching to feel it all
The cause, effect
The line is set
The golden restless age
Time won't turn the page
You're only passing through a form of you
I look in your eyes and there's a rage
Time won't turn the page
It hits you headlong to go it alone
They fall, you rise
It's here, your time
The golden restless age
Time won't turn the page
You're only passing through a form of you
I look in your eyes and there's a rage
And time won't turn the page
It hits you headlong to go it alone

Time in Disguise
Blind attraction, chain reaction
What you have is mine
Persian ivy running wildly
Ashes left behind
Come a little closer, come a little
Closer now to the edge
Winds are blowing, fires glowing
Dancing in your head
Grand occasion conversation
Light the crowded room
No one knows which way we're going
But we'll get there soon
Run from the mountain, poison the fountain
Just for the peace of mind
Back of the alley, they seem to rally
All people of their kind
Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?
It's just time in disguise
Congregated late arrival only passing through
Prairie garden cold and hard
Waiting there for you
So come a little closer, come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Bold distraction taking action
Going where you're led
Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Winds are blowing, fires glowing
Dancing in your head
Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?
It's just time in disguise
Come a little closer, come a little closer

Supermarket
Sweet ocean liner, come and anchor down
Sea of forgiveness, see what I have found
It's long and lanky, awkward at times
I'm going nowhere if you got the time
And it's a long hard road 'til I can get to you
And I'll be holding on, hoping the sun comes shining through
I'm going nowhere, if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere, with you on my mind
I took to driving, to see what I would find
Place in history, little peace of mind
Know what you're thinking
I know just what you mean
I'll never be whole again 'til I get clean
And it's a long hard road 'til I can get to you
And I'll be holding on, hoping the sun comes shining through
I'm going nowhere if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere with you on my mind
I'm going nowhere, won't you stop by?
I'm going nowhere if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere with you on my mind
I'm going nowhere, won't you stop by?
I'm going nowhere if you got the time

Claire and Eddie
Sister ride sister ride if you wanna
To a place I know that we can go
Where the hills come together
We can take it slow until you come around
There's a glow at the face of the canyon
And a sound blowing 'round
That says you're nowhere you've ever been before
Take a plunge into the Colorado River
Where you feel yourself for the very first time
I knew you'd be a friend of mine
Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, a story so old but still so original
You drift in and out like a thunder
And force my hand to get you out of here
Somewhere we can disappear
This is love although you've never seen it
We knew in time it had to be one of us
Never felt a warmer touch
Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, a story so old but still so original
Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, I'm chemically inclined to say what's on my mind
Ooh, you're getting pretty close, but you've got a little ways to go
Ooh, the story so old but still so original
You really laid it on the line, line, line, line, line, line, line
Oh, hit me one more time, time, time, time, time, time, time
You really laid it on the line, line, line, line, line, line, line
Oh baby hit me one more time, time, time, time, time, time, time

Echoing
Waking early in the morning
Waiting on the light of day
Whole new kind of feeling is on the way
I'm not scared of knowing
If we're ever getting out
We could be here forever without a doubt
Time is always higher learning
I'm still barely making grades
Just about imagination anyway
We are circling the wagons
Lining up in a single file
Members of the jury are standing trial
Waiting on a memory
Waiting on a memory, oh
Said if you love me and you're willing to dance
We could take it to the high seas
Echoing, echoing where do we stand
My heart's hard of hearing
My head's full of sand
Feet point both directions if you need a hand
Black water reflection
Lost in a city park
I can't find my way through the dark
Waiting on a memory
Waiting on a memory, oh
Said if you love me and you're willing to dance
We could take it to the high seas
Echoing, echoing where do we stand
We'll be sailing on a wild breeze
Oh, if you love me and you're willing to dance
We could take it to high seas
Echoing, echoing, echoing
Someone's gonna tell the story
Sing from the mountain high
Worked my way from glory
We saw the moon in the sky

Fairytale
Inconsistent love masked in a fairytale
Played along and you wear it well
Fall apart when the timings right
Pacing the floor 'til the morning light
There will be a time out there on the line
When you know you've had enough
Plant a little seed down there on your knees
When you know you've got the stuff, ah
Everybody wants a little piece of my time
Keep it all the rage and they'll stand in line
Heard your little cause playing on the radio
It's getting good, real good at getting old
Always just away
Everybody says
You could be here when you're home
You never say goodbye
Or look me in the eye
I'll love you 'til the day is gone
I can see my feet
Planted on the street
Rumbling like a waterfall
At my own device
I can scale the ice
Waiting for the warm to come, ah
And the words always get in the way
It cuts you down just the same
I can't wait to see what you find
And the sun will find its place to shine, ah
Ah
