Our Lady Peace - Naveed Album Lyrics

Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How did you think that his words might just fade away
He's harmless enough so you let him in and now you'll pay
I can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts

How does it feel when you can't concentrate I just stare
And all of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on
How do you feel when he calls your name
You can plug your ears but it's not the same
How do you know when he pulls you back
Oh when he pulls you back,back, back

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right, the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right, but I just can't trust him tonight

How do you forget a stranger that plagues your days
We arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear
Right? Wrong

How do you feel when he comes to pass, there's something there
But it's not quite right
How do you know, does it make you mad?
Oh it makes you mad, mad mad mad

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Nobodys wrong, nobodys right, the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobodys wrong, nobodys right, its all on the other side

I feel him
I feel him close
I feel him
I feel him

Oh but how do we find?
Nobodys wrong, nobodys right, the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobodys wrong, nobodys right, people, all you people and

Nobodys wrong, nobodys right, the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobodys wrong, nobodys right, people, all you people and

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Get it on and on and on
Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Get it on

I feel him
I feel him close
I feel him
I feel him close

I feel him
I feel him

i've read the bible, i've read Dylan,
i'm reading people now
because it is much more chilling
i sit on a satellite
with the stars made of gold
there's life through that hollow lens

i know supersatellite
i watch the traffic,
i find the seeds

there's one man in particular
who's not what he seems
i can't focus in
on the lies in his head
he's convinced that his blood is blue
but it's red
supersatellite

nothing dazzles me,
i am in his dreams
nothing is shocking,
transparent human being

I let go of the world that was holding
A passenger that could not fly
In search of souls
Souls in search of something
Let it go
Let it slide

When i find out what went on
I'll bring it back
It won't be easy
They won't believe how a man
He could drown
In a starseed

I hoped to find why this world wasn't glowing
Glowing it darkens as we end this ride
I've fallen back under the equator
I'm back inside I'm back inside

When i find out what went on
I'll bring it back but it won't be easy
They won't believe the man he could
But i'd choose starseed over nothing

Hope climbs atop of the piano
Reaching out towards the warmth of the sun
Some man tries to ask her down
Well now maybe that's where she belongs

"My god," she said
"I'm a sunflower that wants"
"My god," he said
"This woman is gone"
Into the dark
Is there anybody there?
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said

He climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let her go, let me go
How long must they leave before they're winning?
They don't know, they don't know, they just don't know

"My god," she said
Will the sunflowers wants
"My god," he said
"The woman is gone"
Into the dark
Is there anybody there?
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said

You can't be there I know it's best that
Nothing is denied
You can't be there I know it's best that
Everyone changes
Sides

Into the dark
Is there anybody there?
Into the light
Is there anybody there?
Into the dark
Is there anybody there? (No)
Into the light, to the light, to the light
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said
My god she said
My god
My god
My god
My god

If she can't be there I know it's best that
Nothing is denied
Can't be there I know it's best that
Everyone changes sides
Can't be there I know it's best that
Nothing is denied
Can't be there I know it's best that
Everyone changes side
Can't be there I know it's best that

are you there, and is it comfortable?
did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
the pressure is deceiving,
and for you particularly should we let a young man die?

let him die if he wants to?
I can't live here anymore
it's hard when you reach for that floor and
and there's something that tears me inside, so I can't go

brother are you there?
now tell me is it wonderful
or were you hoping to find something a little more?

climbing down the hours I need to know now
do the hands of time only rule this chapter
i'll have to try once again, i'll have to try when I want to
there he's on his knees again
trying hard to understand
why Naveed would let a young man die
convinced that he might break he reaches for that phone
and then another day has gone

so you feel that stain of dried up discussions without weight
It's that feeling you will not have to destroy
It's that feeling that you will not have to ignore

the dirty walls

So you've been plagued, but is everything okay
I cannot bear the shallow words they throw
It's that feeling that you will not have to employ
it's that feeling that you will not ...
it's got to go

this conversation is going nowhere
it's transparent as f*ck
this conversation must be over
because all i see is mud

The telephone is ringing, disconnect the line
The tension is building but I'm alright, yeah I'm alright
And the stars are colliding
So you might as well, oh might as well
Let me go

The television is burning, I set it on fire
But the wheels, they keep turning, but I'm fine, yeah I'm fine
What about the questions we have
Locked up inside?

Somewhere, somehow
We've been denied
Hand in hand we walk, blind
Pretending, defending while our souls are tied

It's only the third hour, my conscience subsides
But something will remind me that you lied, yeah you lied
What about the consequences?
This can't be right

Somewhere, somehow
We've been denied
Hand in hand we walk, blind
Pretending, defending while our souls are tied

What about
What about
Sometime ago, I know
Somebody go
Somewhere, somehow

Somewhere, somehow
We've been denied
Hand in hand we walk, blind
Pretending, defending while our souls are tied
Tied
No, no, no
Oh no, we been denied
Oh oh no
Oh no, we been denied
No, no, no
No, no, no
(No, no, no) no we been denied
No, no, no

time can't fix it fast enough,
so we won't notice what it was that went wrong
I saw something there much too familiar
a butterfly with a broken wing
she's fallen under, she's past the end,
communication is down again
the scars have healed but they're back again
we've got to believe this man must bend
because if you could you'd try and destroy her
and there we would be with nothing at all

Is it safe to be a man
when your tired and lonely
only the confident know where to stand

Is it safe to be man
when the world is loaded with thousands
that can't figure out just what they did
time can't fix it fast enough,
so we won't measure just how far below you kept pushing her
you'll have to pay back all of the years that you stole
she's walking backwards,
she's spun around her ears are ringing loud,
how does it feel, does it make you mad?
she's on her knees
please understand how obvious it is
that this man must bend

Can you see her standing there,
Well shes trying to find just anywhere.
Flowers in her hand, yes
She doesn't know why.

Offered is advice to you,
And all you do was fake it.

[Chorus]
And she's only yours tonight,
Oh she never cries.
But I know there's pain inside,
There's Julia.

Drowning in her own visions,
When she's begging the past to stay behind.
Black cat in the night,
Black cat in the sky.

Offered is advice to you,
You left, but I don't blame you.

[Chorus]
And she's only yours tonight,
Oh she never cries.
But I know there's pain inside,
There's Julia.

Digging up the past,
To cross that line,
To bury it, one last time.

Offered is advice to you,
and all you do was fake it.
I know there's pain inside this truth,
But you just have to face it.

And she's only yours tonight,
Oh she never cries.
Mother, I know there's pain inside
There's Julia (yeah) x4
(No, yeah, no, yeah)

maybe they'll come back again maybe they're all gone
one day you'll find me sending their message strong
under your feet the city falls down so far the ground is sky

we're under zenith again,
it's healthy if not for long
leave a little room for us to breathe

much more than seven days and you've slipped to deep
much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that
leash
sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry

were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die
leave a little room for us to breathe

I love how you let me fall
under but not to far
I love how you let me fall
only now I see where we are
hold me

All you people can feel it waiting
Innocence and love, wrapped in the arms
Of the burning neon
I feel it, I feel it

It's so entertaining and so wonderful
It magically calls for you

Big neon crossing
And show me the way
Big neon crossing
Save my soul today

Don't you worry and don't be afraid
Does it send you to the world appealing
Where there is spoken word that I can't take
So I'm the liar, I'm the liar

You're so disappointed
To find out that the magic was not
Really meant for you

Big neon crossing
And show me the way
Big neon crossing
Save my soul today

Call the liar
Call the liar
Call the liar
Call the liar

Oh, I can wait
I can be a liar, liar
And I can wait
And I can be the liar, liar, liar
Oh, the liar, liar

Big neon crossing
And show me the way
Big neon crossing
Save my soul today
Big neon crossing
And show me the way
Big neon crossing, oh
And save my soul
