Keane - Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin


I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?


Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin


And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?


Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin


And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?


This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Keane - This Is The Last Time

This is the last time

That I will say these words

I remember the first time

The first of many lies

Sweep it into the corner

Or hide it under the bed

Say these things they go away

But they never do

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of


The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I no I don't mind


This is the last time

That I will show my face

One last tender lie


And then I'm out of this place

So tread it into the carpet

Or hide it under the stairs

Say that some things never die

Well I tried and I tried


Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of


The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I no I don't mind


The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I know I don't mind


Keane - Bend & Break

When you, when you forget your name

When old faces all look the same

Meet me in the morning when you wake up

Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake


Lovesick bitter and hardened heart

Aching waiting for night waiting for life to start

Meet me in the morning when you wake up

Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up


If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake


If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light


If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake


I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

Keane - We Might As Well Be Strangers

I don't know your face no more

Or feel your touch that I adore

I don't know your face no more

It's just a place I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a different world

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well


I don't know your thoughts these days

We're strangers in an empty space

I don't understand your heart

It's easier to be apart


We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a another time

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well be strangers

Be strangers

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know

Keane - Everybody's Changing

You say you wander your own land

But when I think about it

I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking

And I can see the pain in your eyes

Says everybody's changing

And I don't know why


So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same


You're gone from here

And soon you will disappear

And fading into beautiful light

Cause everybody's changing

And I don't feel right


So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game


I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same


So little time

Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing

And I don't feel the same


Oh everybody’s changing and I don’t feel the same

Keane - Your Eyes Open

Well it's a lonely road that you have chosen

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

And it's a long time since your heart was frozen

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know

All the things I ever wanted you to know

I don't know you, and I don't want to

Till the moment your eyes open and you know


That it's a lonely place that you have run to

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

And it's a lonely end that you will come to

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore


For a moment your eyes open and you know

All the things I ever wanted you to know

I don't know you, and I don't want to

Till the moment your eyes open and you know


For a moment your eyes open and you know

All the things I ever wanted you to know

I don't know you, and I don't want to

Till the moment your eyes open and you know

Keane - She Has No Time

You think your days are uneventful

And no one ever thinks about you

She goes her own way

She goes her own way

You say your days are ordinary

And no one ever thinks about you

But we're all the same

And she can hardly breathe without you


She says she has no time

For you now

She says she has no time


Think about the lonely people

Then think about the day she found you

Or lie to yourself

And see it all dissolve around you


She says she has no time

For you now

She says she has no time

For you now

She says she has no time


Lonely people tumble downwards

My heart opens to you

When she says


She says she has no time

For you now

She says she has no time

For you now

She says she has no time

Keane - Can't Stop Now

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning

While I've been stuck here dithering around

Well I know I said I'd wait around till you need me

But I have to go, I hate to let you down

But I can't stop now

I've got troubles of my own

Cause I'm short on time

I'm lonely

And I'm too tired to talk


I noticed tonight that the world has been turning

While I've been stuck here withering away

Well I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind

But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say


That I can't stop now

I've got troubles of my own

Cause I'm short on time

I'm lonely

And I'm too tired to talk


No one back home

I've got troubles of my own

And I can't slow down


For no one in town

And I can't stop now


And I can't slow down

For no one in town

And I can't stop now

For no one


Emotion keeps my heart on me

Emotion keeps my heart on me

Emotion keeps my heart on me

Emotion keeps my heart on me

Keane - Sunshine

I hold you in my hands

A little animal

And only some dumb idiot

Would let you go

But if I'm one thing

Then that's the one thing

I should know

Can anybody find their home

Out of everyone

Can anybody find their home


I hold you in cupped hands

And shield you from a storm

Where only some dumb idiot

Would let you go


But if I'm one thing

Then that's the one thing

I should know

Can anybody find their home

Out of everyone

Can anybody find their home

Lost in the sun

Can anybody find their home


Come on, come on, come on

Can anybody find their home


Oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Can anybody find their home

Out of everyone

Can anybody find their home

Lost in the sun

Can anybody find their home

Come on, come on, come on

Can anybody find their home


Oooooh

Can anybody find their home

...


Keane - Untitled 1

A house on fire

A wall of stone

A door that once was opened

An empty face and empty bones

Who ate your heart?

You're cold inside

You're not the one I hoped for

I'll see you on the other side

I'll see you on the other side


The wind wouldn't blow me home

To lie in your heart of hearts

Will I ever see you again

And lie in your heart of hearts


Who ate your heart?

You're cold inside

You're not the one I hoped for

I'll see you on the other side

I'll see you on the other side


The wind wouldn't blow me home

To lie in your heart of hearts

Will I ever see you again

And lie in your heart of hearts

Keane - Bedshaped

Many's the time I ran with you down

The rainy roads of your old town

Many the lives we lived in each day

And buried altogether

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away


You'll follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!


I know you think I'm holding you down

And I've fallen by the wayside now

And I don't understand the same things as you

But I do


Don't laugh at me

Don't look away


You'll follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!


And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I know!


Keane - Atlantic

I hope all my days

Will be lit by your face

I hope all the years

Will hold tight our promises


I don't wanna be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't wanna be old and feel afraid


I don't wanna be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't wanna be old and feel afraid


And if I need anything at all


I need a place

That's hidden in the deep

Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep

The modern world is broken


I need a place

Where I can make my bed

A lover's lap where I can lay my head

Cos now the room is spinning

The day's beginning

Keane - s It Any Wonder?

I

I always thought that I knew

I'd always have the right to

Be living in the kingdom of the good and truth


It's on but now I think how I was wrong

And you were laughing along

And now I look a fool to thinking you were wrong


My sight

Is it any wonder I'm tired

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right


Sometimes

It's hard to know where I stand

It's hard to know where I am

Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand


But sometimes

I get the feeling that I'm

Stranded in the wrong time

Where love is just a lyric in a tail-goes-round


It sounds by

Is it any wonder that I'm tired

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

All these days

After all the misery made

Is it any wonder that I feel afraid

Is it any wonder that I feel betrade


Nothing left inside this old cathedral

Just this sad lonely aspires

Adding you make it right


Oh did you try

Is it any wonder I'm tired

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

All these days

After all the misery made

Is it any wonder that I feel afraid

Is it any wonder that I feel betrade

Keane - Nothing In My Way

A turning tide

Lovers at a great divide

why d'you lie

When I know that you hurt inside?


And why'd you say

It's just another day, nothing in my way

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay

So there's nothing left to say?

And why'd you lie

When you wanna die, when you hurt inside

Don't know what you lie for anyway

Now there's nothing left to say


A tell-tale sign

You don't know where to draw the line


And why'd you say

It's just another day, nothing in my way

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay

So there's nothing left to say

And why'd you lie

When you wanna die, when you hurt inside

Don't know what you lie for anyway

Now there's nothing left to say


Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time

You're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time

You're having such a nice time


Keane - Leaving So Soon?

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!


You must think I'm a fool

So prosaic and awkward and all

D'you think you've got me down?

D'you think I've never been out of this town?


Do I seem too eager to please to you now?

You don't know me at all

I can't turn it on, turn off like you now

I'm not like you now



Now that you're here

I bet you're wishing you could disappear

I'm trying to be kind

I get the feeling you're just killing time


You look down on me

Don't you look down on me now

You don't know me at all

A slap in the face

In the face for you now

Just might do now



You're leaving so soon

Never had a chance to bloom

But you were so quick

To change your tune

Don't look back

If I'm a weight around your neck

Cos if you don't need me

I don't need you


Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!


Leaving so soon, soon

Leaving, leaving so, soon


You're leaving so soon

Never had a chance to bloom

But you were so quick

To change your tune

Don't look back

If I'm a weight around your neck

Cos if you don't need me

Then I don't need you


Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Keane - A Bad Dream

Why do I have to fly over every town up and down the line?

I'll die in the clouds above and you that I defend, I do not love


I wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my side

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind


Where will I meet my fate?

Baby I'm a man and I was born to hate

And when will I meet my end?

In a better time you could be my friend


I wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my side

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side

But you're long gone, yes you're long gone now


Where do we go?

I don't even know my strange old face

And I'm thinking about those days

And I'm thinking about those days


I wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my side

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side

But you're long gone, yes you're long gone now


Keane - Hamburg Song

I don't wanna be adored

Don't wanna be first in line

Or make myself heard

I'd like to bring a little light

To shine a light on your life

To make you feel loved

No, don't wanna be the only one you know

I wanna be the place you call home


I lay myself down

To make it so, but you don't want to know

I give much more

Than I'd ever ask for


Will you see me in the end

Or is it just a waste of time

Trying to be your friend

Just shine, shine, shine

Shine a little light

Shine a light on my life

Warm me up again


Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all

You know that it could be so simple

I lay myself down

To make it so, but you don't want to know

You take much more

Than I'd ever ask for


Say a word or two to brighten my day

Do you think that you could see your way


To lay yourself down

And make it so, but you don't want to know

You take much more

Than I'd ever ask for


Keane - Put It Behind You

Times goes by at such a pace

It's funny how it's easy to forget her face

You hide the cracks, the facts will find you

Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now


You better it put it behind you now

You better it put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, hold on to

You better it put it behind you now


All the things you took for granted

Hit you like a bullet in the gut

You can't get up

Well are you gonna even try?

Cos if you never even try

Time will pass you by


You better it put it behind you now

You better it put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)

You better it put it behind you now

You better it put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, to hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)

You better do what's best for you


Don't care what she said and (Better put it behind you now, better put it behind you now)

Only in your head (Hold on, hold on to)

Time will help you out (Better put it behind you now, you better put it behind you now)

Still you don't see her (Hold on, hold on to)


You better it put it behind you now

You better it put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, to hold on to

You better do what's best for you


Keane - 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

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

Keane - 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

(chorus)

Keane - 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 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

Keane - The Frog Prince

An old fairytale told me

The simple heart will be prized again

A toad will be our king

And ugly ogres are heroes


Then you'll shake

Your fist at the sky

Oh why did I rely

On fashions and small fry?


All promises broken

Feed your people or lose your throne

And forfeit your whole kingdom

I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone


You were our golden child

But the gentle and the mild

Inherit the earth, while


Your prince's crown

Cracks and falls down

Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far

From the person you are

Let go brother, let go

Cos now we all know


Soon, someone will put a spell on you

Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know

You will lie in a deep sleep

That's when


Your prince's crown

Cracks and falls down

Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far

From the person you are

Let go brother, let go

Cos now we all know
