Carry You lyrics - David Cook

This lightning’s gonna strike
Right through this heart of mine again, again
’Cause this rain ain’t gonna stop
And we’re feeling every drop
As they keep on dancing on our heads

But you gotta hold on
You gotta be strong
Right here with me if it all goes wrong
To keep you from harm
Away in my arms
Steer you away from the storm

When the sun won’t come around
And your world keeps washing out
I won’t let this love fall down
I’ll carry you, I’ll carry you

So let’s run toward waiting lights
’cause I know there’s better skies ahead, ahead
Sand through an hourglass
This flood is gonna pass
And we’ll still be standing, hand in hand

Oh you gotta hold on
You gotta be strong
Right here with me if it all goes wrong
To keep you from harm
Away in my arms
Steer you away from the storm

When the sun won’t come around
And your world keeps washing out
I won’t let this love fall down
I’ll carry you, I’ll carry you

When the sun won’t come around
And your world keeps washing out
I won’t let this love fall down
I’ll carry you, I’ll carry you

When the sun won’t come around
And your world keeps washing out
I won’t let this love fall down
I’ll carry you, I’ll carry you

From Here To Zero lyrics - David Cook

Here we are at the starting line
Of a race that goes till the end of time
You and I
Take a long deep breath and I'll take one to
As the seconds fade and the minutes move
I'm by your side

Life's a count down that never ends
And the world we know keeps on caving in
We can hold on, I will hold on

[Chorus]
Till the clocks run, till the sun breaks down
I'll be all the love you need
Till the stars turn cold, I'll never let you go
From here to zero

A love we saved for a second look
Like a flower pressed in your favorite book
By the windowsill
We got lost in a passing glance
As the winter frost melting in our hands
And time stood still

Life's a countdown that never stops
Will it all fall down as we count the cost
We can hold on, I will hold on

[Repeat Chorus]

And every point in between
From curtain up to closing scene
(The spot light we've been living in)
I'll never go, I'll never leave
Look in your heart and please believe

[Repeat Chorus]

Till the clocks run out, till the sun breaks down
I'll be all the love you need
Till the stars turn cold, I'll never let you go
From here to zero

Kiss & Tell lyrics - David Cook

I, I’m never really awake
You take it all away until my will begins to break
You, you’ve got me in your sights
You’re doing something right ’cause all I see is blue tonight

Yeah, we’re lost in the dark and we’re praying for light
Reaching out for a heart where the beat never dies
Yeah we’re crossing the line between heaven and hell
I’ll never kiss and tell
Now we’re facing the flood and it’s rising fast
We keep holding our breath ’til we both collapse
Lying still in the place right where our bodies fell
But I’ll never kiss and tell

I, I feel my pulse increase
Do anything you please as long as I can hear you breathe
We, we’re losing all control
I thought we had it all but now your lips are turning cold

Wait For Me lyrics - David Cook

I’m as drunk as the morning sun
A ball of fire and I’ve just begun
To drink you in
Another picture in a broken frame
And I remember I’m the one to blame
Where do I begin?

‘Cause I’ve been crying salt into an open wound
Since I don’t remember when
So as I slowly open up my eyes
Oh, I can see you on the other side
The other side

[Chorus:]
No matter where you go
Yeah, will you let me know?
Will you wait for me?
Wait for me
More than I ever knew
Yeah, all I need is you
Will you wait for me?
Wait for me

Falling faster by the afternoon
Connecting dots around the black and blue
It’s sinking in
And I can smell you on my pillowcase
But I may never get to see your face
Here again, no

So I’ll keep crying salt into this open wound
Until I feel again
And if I ever open up my eyes
Will I see you on the other side?
The other side

[Chorus]

So I’ll keep dying slowly from this open wound
Until you come home again

[Chorus 2x]

I’m as drunk as the morning sun
A ball of fire and I’ve just begun
To drink you in

I'm Gonna Love You lyrics - David Cook

Something still comes over me
Just a chill on a winter breeze
Standing in the cold debris
Left behind a memory

Every word that left your lips
Left behind your fingerprints
Every crime that love commits
Brings you right back here to this

I only want to be remembered
Being the one who always stayed
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you endlessly
I’ll never be wanting you surrender
As long as you’re standing next to me
Coz I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you endlessly

No escaping this embrace
Everytime I see your face
Around the love I can’t erase
Wouldn’t want to anyway

I only want to be remembered
Being the one who always stayed
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you endlessly
I’ll never be wanting you surrender
As long as you’re standing next to me
Coz I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you endlessly

Ooooh

I only want to be remembered
Being the one who always stayed
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you endlessly
I’ll never be wanting you surrender
As long as you’re standing next to me
Coz I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you endlessly

Wicked Game lyrics - David Cook

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire would make foolish people do
I've never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I've never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you

What a wicked game you played
to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
to make me dream of you

And I wanna fall in love
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you

No, I...
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

The world was on fire
and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire would make
foolish people do

Home Movies (Over Your Shoulder) lyrics - David Cook

Chasing ghosts in a hotel parking lot
'Round and 'round till the stars go out.
Never knowing that the best we'd ever get
Was in the here and now.

Just another old home movie
With no sound but it's deafening.
Chasing ghosts in a hotel parking lot
Till the frame burns out.

Looking over your shoulder
You never get any older
Every memory's come and gone
I can't believe it's been so long.

If I could cover the distance
Would it make any difference
With all the sorrow and the joy
Frozen in the celluloid?
Looking over your shoulder
(oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Looking over your shoulder

Thoughts blur every time I look away
Is it you or the alcohol?
Hanging on like a death row innocent
Waiting for the call.

I don't know what I'm looking for
A light shining through an open door?
But it's enough just to have you here again
Living on the wall.

Looking over your shoulder
You never get any older
Every memory's come and gone
I can't believe it's been so long

If I could cover the distance
Would it make any difference
With all the sorrow and the joy
frozen in the celluloid?
Looking over your shoulder
(oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Looking over your shoulder

(oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Where Do We Go lyrics - David Cook

We're counting circles
Around and around until we're down on the floor
What were we put here for?
We keep on burning
A hole in the ground
We're reaching out for more
Can't see the fight in the war

If the light leaves our heart
Do we know where to start?

Whenever the sun goes down
Where do we go?
When all of the leaves turn brown
Where do we go?
With every step that we're taking to the brink
We're cutting ties like a puppet from a string
So whether we're lost or found
Where do we go?

Before the sky falls
From Heaven to ground
We've got to run for our lives
Inside of innocent eyes
But when the night calls
We're tearing it down
Until the smoke can rise
We are the warning signs

When the light leaves our heart
Will we know where to start?

Whenever the sun goes down
Where do we go?
When all of the leaves turn brown
Where do we go?
With every step that we're taking to the brink
We're cutting ties like a puppet from a string
So whether we're lost or found
Where do we go?

By the time the music starts we'll fade away
We'll be in the trenches making our escape
Chasing fireflies like bullets to the brain

When the light leaves our heart
Will we know where to start?

Whenever the sun goes down
Where do we go?
When all of the leaves turn brown
Where do we go?
With every step that we're taking to the brink
We're cutting ties like a puppet from a string
So whether we're lost or found
Where do we go?

Wherever you go
Oooh, oooh

Firing Squad lyrics - David Cook

This is our manifesto
We’ve given all the best to you
Like it was the least that we could ever do
We’re soaked in gasoline while
You watched as everything just burned
Letting your lighter do the dirty work

You better hold your ground
The end is starting now
So load your gun
A war is coming

We are all
Against the wall
Won’t be the ones that time forgot
If it’s our fate
We’re not afraid
Oh we can face your firing squad

This is our revolution
Too late for absolution now
Nothing could ever put this fire out
The calm before crescendo
The quiet night before the storm
Do you remember what you’re fighting for?

You’ve covered our eyes in blindfolds
But light always finds its way back in
So go on and raise you rifles
And fire… fire… fire…

We are all
Against the wall
Won’t be the ones that time forgot
We’ll wear the stars
Like battle scars
So give us everything you got
If it’s our fate
We’re not afraid
Oh we can face your firing squad

But You Won't lyrics - David Cook

It's cold outside
Just like the year before
But I can't help but feel like this is something new
But it's nothing more

I remember goodbye
It's been tattooed on my eyes
From the note you left beside the bed
The promises you made
That you wrote inside

You could find your way home
You could find your way home
Baby, you could find your way home
But you won't
But you won't

So here I stand
Just like the year before
And I can't help but understand you're never coming back
So there's nothing more

That I could say
To make you never leave
So please understand I can't believe a single word you say
When you're telling me

You could find your way home
You could find your way home
You could fine your way home
But you won't
But you won't

Now here we are
Face to face again
And your telling me you can still see us
making this thing work
that you still...love...me

We could find our way home
We could find our way home
We could find our way home
But we won't
But we won't

We're Not In This Alone lyrics - David Cook

I believe in movie scenes
That love can lead us back
From the seas that we bleed
These broken heart attacks
That can take us to the ground
Until the sun goes dim

Suddenly, in between
The moments we fall down
I can see, you and me
The fire to break this town
So give everything you’ve got
Before the night comes in

Will they remember us at all?

Long ago
When the light was everything we know
Before the moment where the darkness showed
Now I’m beggin’ you to
Come back home
We can be that old familiar glow
Where the hearts inside our hands can go
‘Cause we’re not in this alone

Take a chance, take my hand
Nothing can break us now
‘Cause I believe that you and me
We’re built on solid ground
So let’s make this last forever
And call it home

Let the world surrender
Let tonight remember
The daylight’s comin’ in
C’mon stay forever
Take it all on together
And help me breathe again

Secret Garden lyrics - David

She’ll let you in her house
If you come knockin’ late at night
She’ll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She’ll let you deep inside
But there’s a secret garden she hides

She’ll let you in her car
To go drivin’ round
She’ll let you into the parts of herself
That’ll bring you down
She’ll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don’t think twice

You’ve gone a million miles
How far’d you get
To that place where you can’t remember
And you can’t forget

She’ll lead you down a path
There’ll be tenderness in the air
She’ll let you come just far enough
So you know she’s really there
She’ll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She’s got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

Eyes On You lyrics - David Cook

I know where you’re going underneath it all
I know where you’ve been
So take a minute, take a little time, to find a better line
To cover up your sins
Written in the cracks around your smile, another white lie
Now I’m zooming in
You keep running but you know you can’t hide

I’m watching every little thing you do
And all the lies that I can see right through
There ain’t no way for you to change the truth
‘Cause now I got my eyes on, I got my eyes on you

Looking all around, that familiar sound
Footsteps in your shadow
Try to figure out what’s in your head or underneath your bed
Or looking through your window
If you think you’re getting paranoid with all the white noise
You don’t even know
You keep running but you’re never gonna hide

When you thinking its crystal clear, you can’t ignore the voice inside your ear
It keeps filling your mind with doubt and there’s no way that you can drown it out

"This Loud Morning" (2011)

Circadian lyrics - David Cook

Who's to say you're never wrong
Who's to say that I'm not already gone
Who's to say the time inside your head
Keeps running on and on and on and on

Who's to say we'll make it through
I'm starting to believe we think is never true
Who's to say the rhymes beside your bed
Will keep you warm when everything is getting colder
And I'm just holding on until it's over

Mayday
Somebody save me now
And I'm closing my eyes cause once the sun rises
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands

Who's to say this history
Isn't only just some winner's distant memory
You can't escape this drying ink
The fall of who we are is getting closer
And I'm just holding on until it's over

Mayday
Somebody save me now
I'm cutting old ties from the world outside
Cause it's over my head
It's all coming undone
And falling apart somehow
And I'm closing my eyes cause once the sun rises
It's out of my hands
Oh, it's out of my hands

The light pulls me under
And I keep on caving in

Mayday
Somebody save me now
I'm cutting old ties from the world outside
Cause it's over my head, my head, my head
It's all coming undone
And falling apart somehow
And I'm closing my eyes cause once the sun rises
It's out of my hands
Oh, it's out of my hands
