Keane – Stop For A Minute (feat. K’Naan)

[Keane]
Some days, feel my soul has left my body
Feel I’m floating high above me
Like I’m looking down upon me

Start sinking, every time I get to thinking
It’s easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in

[K'naan]
Sometimes I feel like it’s all been done
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one
Sometimes I wanna change everything I’ve ever done
I’m too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

[Keane]
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don’t wanna know
And I’m the first to admit it
Without you I’m a liner stranded in an ice floe

[K'naan]
I feel like a thief who has no faith
Maybe more than by the grade
Of the drugs you took that day

Sinking in the pain he’s been inflicting
Yet he’s feeling like the victim
Just a horoscope’s to blame

[Keane]
Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out ’til everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things really I don’t wanna know
And I’m the first to admit it
Without you I’m child and so wherever you go
I will follow

[K'Naan - rap]
One… yeah…
And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles
You held down my two sons, you never frown when duty calls
You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it, even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females? Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
It’s like Eve with the apple,
A priest in the chapel
Overcome by the devil’s tackle
I’m still shackled the bad til I know
I’m such a hassle every time I let my thoughts go
I get baffled so I hardly pause
I just crossed seas with these gnarly broads
Cos it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
So I guess I’m just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
The stage and the screens
Where it’s just me and Keane

[Keane]
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don’t wanna know
[K'naan]
So I guess I’m just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
[Keane]
And I’m the first to admit it
Without you I’m a liner stranded in an ice floe
[K'naan]
The stage and the screens
Where it’s just me and Keane

Keane – Back In Time

I’ve got time to kill
I’m not living for the moment anymore
I don’t wanna wake up
I’ve got time to kill
I’m not living for the future anymore
I don’t wanna wake
I don’t wanna wake up

She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time

Time, I wait for you
Hibernating, hoping life will start again
Petal in the water
The days all seem the same
I dream by day, I shut the light out, I escape
I don’t wanna wake
I don’t wanna wake up

She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time

Slumping backwards, I forget, I forget
Time has wrapped its drowsy arms around my neck
Don’t wanna wake up
Don’t wanna wake up

She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time
She goes back in time

And back again
And back again

Crystal Ball

Who is the man I see
Where I’m supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lines ever more unclear
I’m not sure I’m even here
The more I look the more I think that I’m
Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I’m fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

I don’t where I am
And I don’t really care
I look myself in eye
There’s noone there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I’m fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong

Try Again

I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I want to see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow

Baby I’ll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

What I was isn’t what I am
I’d change back but I don’t know if I can

Still I’ll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

But I was made the way I am
I’m not a stone; I’m just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we’ve been wasting

God I wish you could see me now
You’d pick me up and you’d sort me out

Baby I’ll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

Broken Toy

I think you know
Because it’s old news
The people you love
Are hard to find
So I think if I
Were in your shoes
I would be kind

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I’m a toy that is broken
I guess we’re just older now

I want to stay
Another season
See summer upon
This sorry land
So don’t dust off your gun
Without a reason
You understand

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I’m a toy that is broken
I guess we’re just older now

Who says the river can’t leave its waters?
Who says you walk in a line?
Who says the city can’t change its borders?
Who says you’re mine?

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I’m a record you’re tired of
I guess we’re just older now
I guess I’m a toy that is broken
I guess we’re just older now
