We Couldn't Fake It lyrics - The Coronas
Covered in water they left me for dead
She's somebody's daughter, somebody's friend
Would you notice me? Would you notice me?
And there's screaming, but you're already leaving
And I'm mad at myself
Yeah I almost believe them
Don't let me waste your time
Cause we heard it all before
And we never like that, leave it alone
We don't need to change your minds
Cause we never changed at all
Yeah we couldn't fake that, no
And now it looks over before it even begins
I throw you over my shoulder yeah we go again
Cause we're focusing, yeah we're focusing
And I'm screaming cause you're already leaving
I'm just mad at myself
Yeah I almost believe them
Don't let me waste your time
Cause we heard it all before
And we never like that, leave it alone
We don't need to change your minds
Cause we never changed at all
Yeah we couldn't fake that
We couldn't fake that
We couldn't fake that
So let them all ignore us
I feel it, don't you feel it
We know what's more important
Believe it when you see it
And I take something from it even if you gotta take some of the blame
Find something that you know you can't replace
Don't let me waste your time
Cause we heard it all before
And we never like that, leave it alone
We don't need to change your minds
Cause we never changed at all
Yeah we couldn't fake that
We couldn't fake that
We couldn't fake that
We couldn't fake that
We couldn't fake that
Real Feel lyrics - The Coronas
Hold no goals, went alone just to meet you in the middle
Said I'm not the kind of person you've been searching for
And I've got to admit I wasn't ready for a real feel person
All hungover by a real feel person, real in person
I think I'm ready
Waste no time, saying things that may sound just a little
But I'm not the kind of person that should ever lie
And I'd never admit I think I'm ready for a real feel person
All hungover by a real feel person, real in person
Let yourself go, there's a reason for everything
And I know it's not easy to let me in
Yeah we've both got things, that make us crazy
Oh I suppose that I shouldn't of warned you
I'm much to old for ever ignoring signs
Yeah it might just tame me this time
Think I'm ready to dream out loud
Picture things and see us in the middle
You know I'm the kind of person who just lets it out
So before I admit at least I'm heading for a real feel person
All hungover by a real feel person, real in person
And I'm already thinking
Oh I should take it slow
I was never one for waiting
I never got that low
I never got that no
I text you out of the blue
I was just wondering would you
I was just wondering would you be something to...
I think I'm ready
I'm ready for a real feel person
I think I'm ready
I'm ready for it...
A Bit Withdrawn lyrics - The Coronas
I made a mess
As you could have guessed
You know when I'm nervous
I get stupidly impressed
And worst of all
They watched you fall
You curse then when
They don't look back at you
You're a bit withdrawn
And I said
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
You're a bit withdrawn
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And if it's just a test
Then I won't confess
You know I got purpose
Cos I'm suitably dressed
And if I came across
Just a little lost
It hurt me that
You think that much of me
I'm a bit withdrawn
You drain from, you drain from
You're hiding out
How could you sense that from me?
You don't have to ask
That's what's great about that
And I'm not quite as brave as I seem
I'm just too tired to talk
So I nod along
I'm just a bit withdrawn
(Not quite, not quite with you)
I just nod along
(Not quite, not quite with you)
And once again
I'll just leave instead
You know that I'm certain
Cos I'm virtually obsessed
So I faked a smile
It was just in time
At worst I'm not much use to anyone
And at best I'm fine
The flame's gone, the flame's gone
Inside you now
Burnin' up your insides
Building up the next fire
You drain from, you drain from
You're hiding out
How could you sense that from me?
You don't have to ask
That's what's great about that
And I'm not quite as brave as I seem
I'm just too tired to talk
So I nod along
I'm just a bit withdrawn
(Not quite, not quite with you)
I just nod along
(Not quite, not quite with you)
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
(Not quite, not quite with you)
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
(Not quite, not quite with you)
Gut Feeling lyrics - The Coronas
How could you say that you want me to change
When I've already tried?
Is that why you said that with a smile?
And it wasn't like I even needed reminding
Of all my mistakes
How could you keep your face so straight?
I suppose it's fine that you're not around
Cos I know deep down I can ride it out
When you overthink everything you're doing
You don't need me to talk you through it
Don't complicate it
You might be already right
Sometimes it's just too easy
To let a gut feeling go by
And you should already know
You hesitated despite
Of all the advice
When you find a gut feeling
Make sure you don't leave it behind
And you stay so deliberately vague
You never say what you mean
How could you speak that way to me?
And you should already know
It really reminds me
Of one of those times
When you just wanna sleep
Once you got out
We couldn't get you to leave
I suppose it's fine that you're not around
Cos I know deep down I can ride it out
And I'll try, I'll try to pull myself together
I just can't seem to make things better
Don't complicate it
You might be already right
Sometimes it's just too easy
To let a gut feeling go by
And you should already know
You hesitated despite
Of all the advice
When you find a gut feeling
Make sure you don't leave it behind
Cos it just can't wait no
I just can't get a hold of it
Don't complicate it
You might be already right
Sometimes it's just too easy
To let a gut feeling go by
Oh oh, you should already know
That I just can't get a hold of it
Oh cos it just can't wait
And I just can't get a hold of it
Give Me A Minute lyrics - The Coronas
I should be old enough by now
I love that you don't lie
I try to be bold or chase it down
Pursue it finally
It's not that I don't appreciate
I love that it's all mine
I'm not much use at playing safe
I'll see this out
And blow them all away
Then you'll get your break
Leave with your head high
You fought for it
You should be applauded
And it's okay to bleed
But I bruise to easily
You can let yourself out
I'm much too honest
Oh, but I'm not sorry
I'll take my medicine
You'll take the credit
This thing could get the better
Of you if you let it
Hold on, I'm not finished
Just give me a minute
My everything looks so much nicer
With you in it
And I could have sworn some things have changed
We don't fit like we used to
It's hard to ignore if it's worth the wait
It might just fool you
It's not that I don't appreciate
How love it can choose you
I'm not much use at being fake
I'll see this out
And blow them all away
Then you'll get your break
Leave with your head high
You fought for it
You should be applauded
And it's okay to bleed
But I bruise to easily
You can let yourself out
I'm much too honest
Oh, but I'm not sorry
I'll take my medicine
You'll take the credit
This thing could get the better
Of you if you let it
Hold on, I'm not finished
Just give me a minute
My everything looks so much nicer
With you in it
And I can't remember how
We got so wrapped up in it
Hold on I'm not finished
Just give me a minute
I'm not finished
And if you don't mind
I can live with it
Just a minute
I'm not finished
Would you be so kind
Just to forgive it
I'll take my medicine
You'll take the credit
This thing could get the better
Of you if you let it
Hold on, I'm not finished
Just give me a minute
Who We Are lyrics - The Coronas
Everything changes with you
Yeah we're quite alike
It just takes ages with you
But it's always worthwhile
Please don't say we're too alike
And please don't say it's not worthwhile
I'm too protective of you
Yeah I should let you grow
Disconnected from you
I'm just a little too cold
I know myself, I try too hard
Forgot how this could leave a mark
The pieces fell and they broke apart
Finally see just who we are
Finally see just who we are
No I can't relate to changes that you made
I stuck around and I wouldn't have it any other way
And if space is what it takes, well then great
Well then great
I know myself, I try too hard
Forgot how this could leave a mark
The pieces fell and they broke apart
Finally see just who we are
Finally see just who we are
And still I can't relate to changes you've made
And if space is what it takes, well then great
Oh
I know myself, I try too hard
Forgot how this could leave a mark
The pieces fell and they broke apart
Finally see just who we are
Finally see just who we are
Have No Age lyrics - The Coronas
My spirit can find me
Cos I fixed myself to you
To have the strength of my body
And the honour of my roots
And our hearts do not get older
There are colours we can choose
And we can wear them proud like soldiers
Who have stood up for the truth
And we'll never go backwards
Cos I fixed myself to you
We have the bones in our bodies
And the wisdom from our youth
And our hearts will not get older
They will stay as me and you
No our hearts do not get older
They'll remain as me and you
So close your eyes
Do you picture me the same?
Don't get tired
Cos when I'm with you I have no age
And all these lines dig their holes
They're up and down my face
But everyone else gets old
We just stay the same
Then we'll fall into pieces
But we'll feel as good as new
Can they see the worn out parts?
Well they don't know how their used
Cos our hearts do not get older
They stay as me and you
And we wear them proud like soldiers
Who have stood up for the truth
So close your eyes
Do you picture me the same?
Don't get tired
Cos when I'm with you I have no age
And all these lines dig their holes
They're up and down my face
But everyone else gets old
We just stay the same
So close your eyes
Don't get tired
All these lines dig their holes
I have no age
I have no...
Like It Used To Be lyrics - The Coronas
Is this how it's meant to be?
I fell fast asleep
But I woke up peacefully
And it felt like New Year's Eve
Making up plans
We hope to keep
So I hold my hopes
And play them out low
As a melody
Like it used to be
So that when I close my eyes
I hear something that I like
Oh
And I can't stand your apathy
You're getting so hard to read
You don't know what you believe in
So thank God it's New Year's Eve
Do you think we can start again
With ease?
And I hold my hopes
And you can hold your own
Just play me a melody
Like it used to be
So that when I close my eyes
I hear something that I like
Ah just play me a melody
That can speak to me
So that when I close my eyes
I hear something that I like
Oh
Oh
Not What You Know lyrics - The Coronas
Right now it's your time to shine
Got all your moves you know all your lines
Keep up your head, you're doing just fine
Move both your feet but move them in time
Cos it's not what you know
It's what you can show
Don't fear your mistakes
Mistakes make you whole
It's out of your hands
Out of your control
Give yourself in to it
Look now you're doing so well
Still got your nerves but no one can tell
And I know you can you know that as well
You don't need a hand you got this yourself
And I know it's hard
But it will get harder
Yeah it will get harder
Yeah it comes and it goes away
Won't take forever
It won't take forever
Just keep getting better
And you know what I always say
It's not what you know
It's what you can show
Don't fear your mistakes
Mistakes make you whole
It's out of your hands
Out of your control
Give yourself in to it
Well last time it all moved so fast
You know what you have so just make it last
You're playing your part, the part you've been cast
You won't get the answers unless you ask
And I know it's hard
And it just gets harder
Yeah it will get harder
Yeah it comes and it goes away
Won't take forever
It won't take forever
Just keep getting better
Cos you know what I always say
It's not what you know
It's what you can show
Don't fear your mistakes
Mistakes make you whole
It's out of your hands
Out of your control
Give yourself in to the
Things that you know
It's what you can show
Don't fear your mistakes
Mistakes make you whole
It's out of your hands
Out of your control
Give yourself in to it
And anywhere
You need to go
I will help you there
There's nothing else you need to know
And I suppose that's hard
To just let it go
It's not what you have
It's what you do with what you show
Give yourself into it
Give yourself into it
Look At All The Lovers lyrics - The Coronas
Would you be willing to close your eyes?
Trust the wire and do it blind
Would you be willing to do that every time?
Is there a wrong time to be live?
Is there one line that will always sound just right?
Can I use it every time?
Look at all the lovers
They're still trying to be friends
Growing up with each other
Never knowing how it ends
How can it be that they just believe?
How can they both share the same dream?
When will I know exactly how that feels?
When will I know?
I try to picture a smaller space
Make sure it doesn't appear so great
Why can't I stick to the moments I have chased?
Is there a wrong time to be live?
Is there one line that will always sound just right?
Can I use it every time?
Look at all the lovers
They're still trying to be friends
Growing up with each other
Never knowing how it ends
How can it be that they just believe?
How can they both share the same dream?
When will I know exactly how that feels?
When will I know?
Oh
Oh
How can it be that they just believe?
How can they both share the same dream?
When will I know exactly how that feels?
When will I know?
How can it be that they just believe?
How can they both share the same dream?
When will I know exactly how that feels?
When will I know?
One Last Time lyrics - The Coronas
We're both filled with hurt
We're both so unsure but for some reason
It means so much for more
For the last time we'll be lonely together
Will ease our troubled minds
We forget forever
And for just one last time
Place your hand inside mine
I miss you
We struggle not to say
The L-word, it's so weird now
I've said it a million times before
I'm not gonna lie, it feels so good
But tomorrow I'll cry, I misunderstood
'Cause for just one last night
Lay your hand beside mine
I miss you
I miss you
We're both filled with hurt
We're both so unsure but for some reason
It means so much for more
I miss you
I miss you
'Cause for just one last night
Place your hand inside mine
And I feel safe in your arms
Please stay
Why is this all so hard?
I miss you
I miss you
One Tree Hill lyrics - The Coronas
(originally by U2)
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy, love
A sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
You run like a river on to the sea
You run like a river runs to the sea
And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone
Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
We run like a river runs to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's rainin', rainin' hard
That's when the rain will break a heart
Rainin', rainin' in your heart
Rainin' in your heart
Rainin', rain into your heart
Rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rain into your heart
Rainin', ooh, rain in your heart, yeah
Feel it
Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea
Speak Up lyrics - The Coronas
I can never upstage you
As we walk into room
You radiate kindness, oh
But I'm starting to notice
Yeah I finally found a reason to focus
But if I don't know where I should begin
If you can help me out, speak up now
Tell me what you think
I will take it on the chin
I hear myself saying
Things I don't really believe
I try to stay present, oh
Listen, listen
Cause now I'm starting to notice
That I finally found a reason to focus
But I just don't know where I should begin
If you can help me out, speak up now
And I suppose this is exactly what growth is
But I just don't know where I should begin
Can you help me out, speak up now
Do you still think about us, oh
Cause I just want you to know this
Now I finally brought this thing into focus
But I still don't know where I should begin
If you can help me out, speak up now
And I suppose this is exactly what growth is
But I just don't know where I should begin
If you can help me out, speak up now
Can you help me out, speak up now
Do you still think about us, oh
I'll take it on the chin
Do you still think about us, oh
Taibhsí Nó Laochra lyrics - The Coronas
Seo muid réidh, taibhsí nó laoich
Scriosfadh aoibh fíor anam an té
Nó an bhfuil mé ró
Ciniciúil ar mhaith(e) liom fhéin
Buartha le rá, lig cinniúint an béim
'S ba léir, ba léir
'Sé deacair dúinn a rá
'Sé deacair dúinn a rá
Ach is léir, is léir dom
Go nglacfaidh sé go leor am
Agus beagáinín ádh
'Sé ag tosú dúinn
Ag glacadh an céad céim
Tá sé ag athrú
Ag feabhsú muid fhéin
Meas tú an cuma linn
Nó an gcreideann muid fós
Ach seo mar atá dúinn
Agus b'fhearr linn leanúint ár threo
'S ag dul an slí seo
Thar n'ais chuig an tús
Teacht ó na scáith
Ag glacadh do pháirt nú(a)
So ná lean leat
Ag cailliúint do shlí
Eireoidh leat le aidhmeanna simplí
'S ba léir, ya, ya, ba léir
'Sé deacair dúinn a rá
'Sé deacair dúinn a rá
Ach is léir, is leir dom
Go nglacfaidh sé go leor am
Agus beagáinín ádh
'Sé ag tosú dúinn
Ag glacadh an céad céim
Tá sé ag athrú
Ag feabhsú muid fhéin
Meas tú an cuma linn
Nó an gcreideann muid fós
Ach seo mar atá dúinn
'Sé ag tosú dúinn
Ag glacadh an céad céim
Tá sé ag athrú
Ag feabhsú muid fhéin
Meas tú an cuma linn
Nó an gcreideann muid fós
Ach seo mar atá dúinn
Agus b'fhearr linn leanúint ár threo...
Seo muid réidh, taibhsí nó laoich
Scriosfadh aoibh anam tubaisteach an té
Nó an bhfuil mé ró
Ciniciúil ar mhaith(e) liom fhéin
Buartha le rá, lig cinniúint an béim...
The Lakes Of Pontchartrain lyrics - The Coronas
It was on one bright March morning, I bid New Orleans Adieu
I took the road to Jackson Town, my fortune to renew
I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain
Which filled my heart with longing for the Lakes of Ponchartrain
Well, I stepped on board of a railroad car underneath the morning sun
And I rode the roads all evening and lay me down again
All strangers there no friends to me 'til a dark girl toward me came
And I fell in love with the Creole Girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
Well, I said "Me pretty Creole Girl, my money here's no good
And if it weren't for all the alligators, I'd sleep out in the wood"
She said "You're welcome here kind stranger, though my house is very plain
"But we've never turned a stranger out, on the banks of Ponchartrain"
She took me to her mammy's house and treated me right well
The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
To try to paint her beauty, I'm sure 't would be in vain
So handsome was my Creole girl by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
Well, I asked her if she'd marry me, she said this could never be
For she had got a lover and he was lost at sea
She said that she would wait for him and true that she would remain
Till he'd return to his Creole girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
So fare thee well, my Creole girl, may I never see you more
But I'll never forget your kindness, your cottage by the shore
And at each social gathering, a flowing glass I'll drain
And I'll drink a health to my Creole girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
