Brooke Fraser Lyrics

Psychosocial lyrics - Brooke Fraser

I love your projection but I don't love you

Your perceived perfection though it's just not true

I want an escape and tonight that's you

You are my victim, you are my muse

Just one specimen of a multitude

I want a cliché I can click on cue

Psychosocial [x4]

Give me all access, give me what I want

The companionship of your "tableu vivants"

I'm entertained until I'm not

Psychosocial [x4]

You don't call, you don't write

It's like I don't even know you

You don't look, you never reply

And you won't cause I'm a psychosocial

It's like I don't even know you

And you won't cause I'm a psychosocial

It's like I don't even know you

I love your projection but I don't love you

Thunder lyrics - Brooke Fraser

I appear in the wild

Hologram in the distance

I’m lighting up the bayou

We speak in storms

We’re all electric, we’re all electric

You’re a fiend for a fight

You tend to misfire

Scorched earth, burnt skin

We speak storms

We’re all electric, we’re all electric

Thunder, thunder

We are down to the wire

We’re misconnecting

Combustible, explosive

Untamed

We’re pyrotechnic, we’re all electric

So we roll and we rage

Small scale destruction

Scorched earth, burnt skin

We’re speaking storms

We’re all electric

Thunder, thunder

Air it bends (air it bends)

Then it breaks (then it breaks)

But we’re holding our ground (hold our ground)

First the light (First the light)

Then the sound

Thunder, thunder

Start A War lyrics - Brooke Fraser

I remember when we ruled the scene

Back when we reigned supreme

Black words in golden speech

The weapons in our reach

Tell me did I stutter?

Did you hear me right?

As the crowd begins to roar

Tell me where’s the limit and I’ll tell you why

You will be shaken by the sound

‘Cos I’m gonna touch the sky

I’m damaging at my new discipline

I’m telling you

Can you smell the blood that’s in the air

It’s ours but we don’t care

Burning the resistance to the ground

In line to claim your crown

Tell me did I stutter?

Did you hear me right?

As the crowd begins to roar

Tell me where’s the limit and I’ll tell you why

You will be shaken by the sound

‘Cos I’m gonna touch the sky

I’m damaging at my new discipline

I’m telling you I’m gonna touch the sky

I’m falling out where I was falling in

I’m telling you I’m gonna touch the sky

If you’re gonna start a war

You better know the choice you made is one worth fighting for

You can have your ground

‘Cos when I touch the sky I’m taking everything you’ve got

Tell me did I stutter?

Did you hear me right?

As the crowd begins to roar

Tell me where’s the limit and I’ll tell you why

You will be shaken by the sound

‘Cos I’m gonna touch the sky

I’m damaging at my new discipline

I’m telling you I’m gonna touch the sky

I’m falling out where I was falling in

I’m telling you I’m gonna touch the sky

Kings & Queens lyrics - Brooke Fraser

We've got a long way to go but we got the energy

It took a little while to find reality

We've come a long way you know, living inside a dream

Waking to find that we are kings and queens

Lights on

Sometimes this feels like sleeping with the lights on

The memories stay

They loop their lies on endless replay

Been sleeping where I fall if I can sleep at all

Cuz I wake where I wanna if I wake at all

To see the lines are blurred, reality deferred

And we're chasing down tomorrow

We've got a long way to go but we got the energy

It took a little while to find reality

We've come a long way you know, living inside a dream

Waking to find that we are kings and queens

Ride on

Let's ditch the dark babe, we just gotta ride on

Don't let lies through

They'll trick your mind and turn your heart to stone

Forget the wars we fight, forget the tears you cry

Cuz we go where we wanna but that won't be tonight

To see the edges fade between the light and shade

And we're chasing down forever

We've got a long way to go but we got the energy

It took a little while to find reality

We've come a long way you know, living inside a dream

Waking to find that we are kings and queens

We've got a long way to go but we got the energy

It took a little while to find it, to find it, to find it

We've come a long way you know, living inside a dream

It took a little while to find it, to find it, to find it

We've got a long to go but we got the energy

It took a little while to find reality

We've come a long way you know, living inside a dream

Waking to find that we are kings and queens

We've got a long to go but we got the energy

It took a little while to find reality

We've come a long way you know, living inside a dream

Waking to find that we are kings and queens

Bloodrush lyrics - Brooke Fraser

Something inside you

Breaks a little bit when you turn away and in

Down beneath the pieces

You say you don’t feel a thing

It’s atrophy in motion

The slowing down of necessary moving parts

It wouldn’t be so tragic

If it weren’t machinery of the heart

You’ve got so much soul

You’ve got to get out and prove it to yourself

Babe you’ve got so much soul

You got so much soul

You’re doing a post mortem

Of a future you still can have

Heed your own warning

Those tears in the night

Won’t fall in the morning

You’ve got so much soul

You’ve got to get out and prove it to yourself

Babe you’ve got so much soul

You got so much soul

Can you feel it yet?

Like a longed for thaw

Feel the blood rush back

Feel the frost withdraw

Vena cava, veins

Broken valves and vows

Feel the blood rush back

Feel the blood rush out

You’ve got so much soul

You’ve got to get out and prove it to yourself

Babe you’ve got so much soul

You got so much soul

Brutal Romance lyrics - Brooke Fraser

All shapes and colours

Rolled and stained in aging hands

Sculpted explosions

Histories unfold

Our Jackson Pollocked earth turns

A silent witness

Lonely as silent

Poets bequeath best attempts

Romanticising

The brutality

Of the ages and of us

Avarice and lust

Love and death, and death and love

Brutal romance

The silver thread, the sharpened knife

A spinning slow-dance

I can't remember before

Warmth in the veins, lead in the core

Brutal romance

You're dripping with gold

Mine is more interior

Yours is sinking you

Men at attention

Devouring a drowning fleet

Epaulettes of charm

Love and death, and death and love

Brutal romance

A silver thread, a sharpened knife

In a spinning slow-dance

I can't remember before

Breath in the lungs, blood on the door

Brutal romance

And I want to sing

Over them and into them

What can't be unsung

And I want to sing

Over you and into you

What can't be unsung

Love and death, and death and love

Brutal romance

A silver thread, a sharpened knife

A spinning slow-dance

I can't remember before

Washing of wounds, won inner wars

Brutal romance

Je Suis Pret lyrics - Brooke Fraser

I looked away while the water was receding

I looked away for a second, for a second

And it's gone, everyone was caught sleeping

I am awake and the air is pulsating

I am awake, as it gathers, see it growing

I'm in doubt, here it comes, am I ready?

Am I ready?

See the tempest looking my way

Drain the skies of all their color

And I meet it eye to eye

With a fire in my breast

Je suis pret

I am ready, I am ready

Je suis pret

I am ready, I am ready

I will be healed, and my brother, so shall you be

Stand over here, by my side

We will awake to the river, to the river

Washing away all our shy

See the tempest looking my way

Drain the skies of all their color

And I meet it eye to eye

With a fire in my breast

Je suis pret

I am ready, I am ready

Je suis pret

I am ready, I am ready

Wash away

See the tempest looking my way

Drain the skies of all their color

And we meet it eye to eye

With a fire in our breasts

Nous sommes prêts

We are ready, we are ready

Nous sommes prêts

We are ready, we are ready

Magical Machine lyrics - Brooke Fraser

I'm your telescope

Help you see other worlds up close

I'm your submarine

You'll explore where you've never been

I'm your ticking clock

Hold my hands and the time will stop

I'm your megaphone

Turn you up ‘til the neighbours moan

Power me on

Light on demand

I'm your magical machine

We can dream digital dreams

Power me on

Control and command

I'm your magical machine

I'll be yours if you let me

I'm your MRI

Show you what's going on inside

I'm your ATM

Take what you like my supply won't end

I'm your MP3

I get sad when you don't pay for me

I'm your IED

Carry me very carefully

Power me on

Light on demand

I'm your magical machine

We can dream digital dreams

Power me on

Control and command

I'm your magical machine

I'll be yours if you let me

I'm wires and welding

Preset to auto

But if I wasn't you would never know

I'm wires and welding

Preset to auto

But if I wasn't you would never know

Power me on

Light on demand

I'm your magical machine

We can dream digital dreams

Power me on

Control and command

I'm your magical machine

I'll be yours if you let me

New Histories lyrics - Brooke Fraser

Blind man on a broken beam

Sharks circling under

Fine frenzies and rosy scenes

I don’t know which you are to me

Time passes for everyone

New histories, same old sun

One flame ignites, another dies

No one gets out of here alive

And I wait

I stare at the space you left

It stares back unimpressed

I said I was sorry

Now when will you come home to me

And I wait

Something’s gotta give, oh can’t you see

Someone’s gonna win eventually

We could write a new history

Oh, let’s write our new history

New Year's Eve lyrics - Brooke Fraser

It’s been a loud year and I really need the quiet

It’s New Year’s Eve, babe

And I’d really like to be alone

We’re waiting on change but I don’t know if it’s coming

It’s New Year’s Eve, babe

And I’d really like to be alone

Big eyes against the white

Big eyes beneath the lights

And no one seems to feel it

But I do

Our faces to the wind

My heart against my skin

Tonight I’m gonna find something true

It’s been a loud year and I really need the quiet

It’s New Year’s Eve, babe

And I’d really like to be alone

Therapy lyrics - Brooke Fraser

Like an echo in my mind

There's a hunger that grows to the ground from beneath inside

Tasting what I couldn't see

Yes, I bit, but I found that in the end it comes through me

There's a lot in my heart

There's a lot in my hands

Is it ever too much

Get it out of my head

I've been thinking

Stranger things have happened now

I've been thinking

Things we never talk about

Like a serpant in the sun

I will bash, I will lay in the light 'til the day is done

'Cause it never really ends

From a thought to an act to just being back again

There's a lot in my heart

There's a lot in my hands

Is it ever too much

Get it out of my head

I've been thinking

Stranger things have happened now

I've been thinking

Things we never talk about

So tell me what you really want

'Cause it isn't strange to me

This is what we do it for

You know this is therapy

I've been thinking

Stranger things have happened now

I've been thinking

Things we never talk about

I've been thinking

Stranger things have happened now

I've been thinking

Things we never talk about

So tell me what you really want

'Cause it isn't strange to me

This is what we do it for

You know this is therapy

I've been thinking

Something In The Water Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Do do do do do do do do do do

I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two,
Recilined in a hammock on a balmy evening
I'll pretend that its no thing that’s skipping my heart when I think of you
thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, that makes me love you like –

I’ve got halo’s made of summer, rhythms made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I got crowns of words a woven each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing

Give me long days in the sun,
preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings laying in all lazy
give me something fun to do like a life of loving you
kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Oooh oooh oooh [x3]

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, give me something fun to do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
Theres something in the water that makes me love you like I –

Do do do do do do do

Betty Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

You got a quick snap-lock on your cold, cold heart
You got your YSL kicks and a red birthmark
In the shape of Canada
That you try to keep a secret

You got a quick clack walk and a cold hard stare
And if your eyes could talk they'd say they just don't care
Before they wander off
To hide inside their sockets

You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip, honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling, we all do

You got a fool-proof plan for a lonely life
You won't be no one's daughter and no drunk man's wife
If a wife at all
It's a silly institution
Or so you keep insisting

You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip, honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling, we all do

You're cool coy, 'bout to stroll, very hip
It's you that's hidden by the expectations
We want to see you, won't you show us where to start?
You're talking trash with your red liquor lips
It's you that tickle in the conversation
Sweet Betty, won't you show us who you are?

You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip, honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling, we all do

You've got a quick snap-lock on your cold, cold heart

Orphans, Kingdoms Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

In me, in you
Orphans, kingdoms
Wide eyes and paper crowns
Time will hold us,
Time eroders
We're wrinkling chilling out

We are wondering where the wild wind blows
We are happy here 'cause the wild wind knows
What we are
Orphans, kingdoms

In me, in you
Things explorers
Named with codes of arms
A world inside us
A feast, a harvest
Each of us slum a star

We are wondering where the wild wind blows
We are happy here 'cause the wild wind knows
What we are
Orphans, kingdoms

Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die
We will look our waker in the eye
Raise a flag and then drink to your health
Who is he that can comfort himself?

We are wondering where the wild wind blows
We are happy here 'cause the wild wind knows
What we are
Orphans, kingdoms

Who Are We Fooling Lyrics – Brooke Fraser (feat. Aqualung)

So we're back here again
Tip toeing round the edge of the end
Wondering who will be last to admit
That we're finally over

Turned twenty one on the day that we met
Terrible shoes and plausible dress
It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

I love the art of biting my tongue
I'm tired of trying to guess what was wrong
Both agreed on where we should go
But not how to get there

We tried and tried to loosen the knots
Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off
But it's these failures and faults that hold us together

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo
Together we're one but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

Cause real love
Is hard love
It's all we have
It's a break-neck
Train wreck
It's all we have

So we're back here again
Turning away from the edge of the end
Arm in arm

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot we just can't undo
If it's not either of us, tell me who are we fooling?

Together we're one, but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

Ice On Her Lashes Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

The lone woman stands in the turning December
She's got ice on her lashes, white at her winter coat
The trees stand like soldiers around her
Dutiful wooden curse
And the heart she feared frozen
Still beats and still marches on

Oh, Annie
I will think of you each time I see the sun
Didn't want a day without you
But somehow I've lived through another one

A gentlemen waits on a platform in a haze of gray and grief
Now he's sold up his assets, starting over at 70
The steam blasts like trumpets around him
Salutes on the colonnade
As he thinks to himself:
"We're all waiting for our train to come"

Oh, Annie
I will think of you each time I see the sun
Didn't want a year without you
But somehow I've lived through another one

Did you find it hard to breathe at first?
Were you wounded and in disbelief at how much it hurt?
Now the ache's still burning, but the world's still turning
Isn't it?

Oh, Annie
I still think of you each time I see the sun
Didn't want a life without you
But here I am living one

Coachella Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Before a neon night's lighting I'm right beside you
The fire in motion
The fire in motion

The desert sun sinking
Sleepy and low
But we're just waking
We are waking

River time is a mountain tonight
Before tomorrow she flows on
Carving valleys in the skin on our faces

I am bright as the sun
You are high as a kite
We are daughters, sons, brothers and sisters tonight
At Coachella
Coachella

Come on now darling, let's shake off these blues
I'll let my hair out, you'll slip off your shoes
I feel like a baby, newborn in the spring
I'm setting down the sadness and I won't remember it

When I'm bright as the sun
And you are high as a kite
And we are daughters, sons, brothers and sisters tonight
At Coachella
Coachella

I'm a warm bleeding heart
You're a generous soul
And I love you though I'd never met you before
To Coachella
Coachella

We are standing on the shore
In the smoke, in the starlight
On the edge of a human sea
And the tide is in

I am bright as the sun
You are high as a kite
We are daughters, sons, brothers and sisters tonight
At Coachella
Coachella

I'm a warm bleeding heart
You're a generous soul
and I love you though I'd never met you before
To Coachella
Coaechella

Oooh ooh oooh ooh
Coachella

Jack Kerouac Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

He got the droop of a fatherless child
Almost imperceptible, one can't see it with the naked eye
Oh but I can

That cardboard lady in the corner store
Her sparkle is all painted on
Six no-good men took her shine and more
Left her youth near Sausalito

Oh it's humourless and comical at once
Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust
Oh it's humourless, it's humourless

They look me over, one up and one down
I can tell they're wondering who my people are
I say I'm new in town
I know it's gonna take a while

Oh it's humourless and comical at once
Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust
Oh it's humourless, it's humourless

I speculate and browse the duraflame
Winter in the west coast cool
Out by the sea where no one knows my name

I'm on the road like Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac

Sailboats Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

We're adrift on a sailboat
My love is the sea
Yours is the horizon
Constant and steady

You set my limbs locked hard afloat
Lifted my lonesome sails
The tide is out, the moon is high
We're sailing

Darling, your love is healing
It makes the bitter sweet
Warms the winter to spring again
Secures the colds defeat

We're cutting anchor
Casting out into the glorious deep
The tide is out, the moon is high
We're sailing

When we've succumb to decrepitude
Still our love will remain in its youth

The tide is out, the moon is high
We're sailing
We're sailing
We're sailing

Crows + Locusts Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

It was the year
The crows and the locusts came
The fields drained dry the rain
The fields are bleeding

"Daddy don't cry, it'll be alright"
She puts some water on the wound
And hums a little tune
While her courage puddles on the ground
Pooling, pooling

See the murder and the swarm descend
And the night is getting thick
The moon telling her tricks
She'd betray her every time

It was the year
The crows and the locusts came
The fields drained dry the rain
The fields are bleeding

It was the age
The foxes came for the fields
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
And prayed for mercy, prayed for mercy

The rumble is low and the heat is high
Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky
Gonna chase away the devil when that sun does rise
Gonna plead the blood
Gonna plead the blood

It was the year
The crows and the locusts came
The fields drained dry the rain
The fields are bleeding

It was the age
The foxes came for the fields
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
And prayed for mercy, prayed for mercy

She limps on up to the top of a mount
Looks at the faltered harvest
Feels her sweat in the ground and the burn in her nose
And the knowing in her guts
Something's still gonna grow
She ain't leaving 'till it does.

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood...
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood...

Here's To You Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Cheers to the furrows on our brow
To each hard-won victory
Cheers to the losses that grew us up
Killed our pride, and filled our cup

Cheers to the friendships well worn in
That time nor distance alter
Here's to the sleepers we'll see again
Find company in memoria

Open your mouth and sing out your song
Life is short as the day is long
I can't leave you my body
But I'll leave you a tune
This is my legacy
Cheers to you

Cheers to the passing of our youth
And the death of lust not one day
A toast to the lessons not yet learned
And to the trials that will teach them

Open your mouth and sing out your song
Life is short as the day is long
I can't leave you my body
But I'll leave you a tune
This is my legacy
Cheers to you

Open your mouth and sing out your song
Life is short as the day is long
I can't leave you my body
But I'll leave you a tune

Open your mouth, and sing out your song
Life is short as the day is long
I can't leave you my body
But I'll leave you a tune
This is my legacy
This is my legacy
This is my legacy
Cheers to you

Flags Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Come, tell me your trouble
I'm not your answer
But I'm a listening ear

Reality has left you reeling
All facts and no feeling
No faith and all fear

I don't know why a good man will fall
While a wicked one stands
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land

Who's at fault is not important
Good intentions lie dormant
And we're all to blame

While apathy acts like an ally
My enemy and I are one and the same

I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters still stand
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land

I don't know why our words are so proud
Yet their promise soothing
And our lives blow about
Like flags in the wind

Oh oh oh oh

You who mourn will be comforted
You who hunger will hunger no more
All the last shall be first
Of this I am sure

You who weep now will laugh again
All you lonely be lonely no more
Yes, the last will be first
Of this I'm sure

I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters stand
I don't know why the little ones thirst
But I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first

You Can Close Your Eyes Lyrics – Brooke Fraser (feat. William Fitzsimmons)

Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
And this old world must still be spinning 'round
But I still love you

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes it's alright
I don't know no love songs
I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
You can sing this song when I'm gone

It won't be long before another day
We're gonna have a good time
No one's gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes it's alright
I don't know no love songs
I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
You can sing this song when I'm gone

"Albertine" (2006)

Shadowfeet Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
towards home, a land that i've never seen
I am changing; less and less asleep
made of different stuff than when i began
And I've sensed it all along
fast approaching is the day

[CHORUS:]
when the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and the mountains fall on their knees
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you

There's distraction buzzing in my head
saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
but I've heard rumours of true reality
whispers of a well-lit way

[CHORUS]

You make all things new

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS 2:]
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you

Deciphering Me Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Friend, it's getting late
We should be going
We've been sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours
while I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me
for i am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower

[CHORUS:]
Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong?
We belong.

Your telescope eyes see everything clearly
My vision is blurred but i know what i heard echoing all around
while I am tuning you in, you are deciphering me
not such a mystery, not such a faint in a far away sound

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
It's love, it's love that holds us
We will be alright
It's truth, it's truth that shows us
If we'll walk in it's (his) light

[x2]
Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong?

Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? (we belong)
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining goes to show we belong?
We belong.

Love, Where Is Your Fire? Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Love, where is your fire? I've been sitting here smoking away
Making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits,
But still there's no sign of a flame
Imposters have been passing, offering a good-feeling glow
But I'm holding out for what you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone
Some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do

[Chorus:]
'Cause I, I wanna (know I'll) blaze with you
So I'm holding my heart out to you
Holding my heart out

So I stand, handing out torches
Speaking words that are lamps to their feet
Til' the time when you come and I'm whole and we are one and the fire in me is complete
Some tell me to be moderate but lukewarm will never do

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Then a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind
That I'll offer you me and you'll politely decline (no thank you)
So I hasten to mute it, I'll shout and rebuke it - "away! "

[Chorus]

Love Is Waiting Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

[CHORUS:]
I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I'm singing for the strangers about you
don't keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you're my man

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

Albertine Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

I am sitting still
I think of Angelique
her mothers voice over me
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
And on a thousandth hill, I think of Albertine
there in her eyes what I don't see with my own
rwanda

[CHORUS]
now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are

I am on a plane across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
and the dust on, the dust on, the dust on my feet
Rwanda

[CHORUS]

[BRIGDE]
I will tell the world, I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them Albertine

[CHORUS]

I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine
I will tell them, Albertine

C.S. Lewis Song Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

[CHORUS:]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming

Faithful Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near is what i long for

[CHORUS]
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray
And i want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
i still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge,
knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want

Seeds Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Night
Field of stars above us
You pick one
We frame it with our fingers intertwined

Seeds of every generation
Between our hands
And the promise to teach you the little I have learned
So far

[CHORUS]
Child
What will you live to do?
What have I left for you?
What will we leave behind?

You
Learning as you're growing
Not yet knowing
The world isn't always quite as beautiful
As it is now

[CHORUS]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Night
Field of stars above us
I pick one and name it for you
And all who are to come

Hosea's Wife Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently
"What do I live for?"

I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There's a question like a shame no one will show
"What do I live for?"

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and words like knives

[CHORUS]
If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

There is truth in little corners of our lives
There are hints of it in songs and children's eyes
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I live for?

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using bodies like money and truth like lies

[CHORUS]

[Bridge]
We are more than dust
That means something
That means something
We are more than just
Blood and emotions
Inklings and notions
Atoms on oceans

The Thief Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Your eyes are full
Full of the future of us
The air changes as you look across
At me in that wondering way

It is as if
I knew you before we spoke
Do our hearts know something we don't?
Conspiring, converging without giving us any say

[CHORUS]
You, sing me to sleep
Talk down my walls
Look through my windows as I wait
You could be the thief
I give the key to

You're ruining me
With secrets and gestures and looks
With sonnets from second-hand books
Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play

[CHORUS]

[Bridge]
It fits in your hand like water in rain
It unlocks our two different selves
And shows we are the same
Rather than wait `til I put me out for the taking
You're breaking
You're breaking
You're breaking into my heart
And I'm letting you

Hymn Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would you find and firm and gather 'til I only dwell in Thee?
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after
'Til I only dwell in Thee

[INSTRUMENTAL]

If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision 'til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
'Til I only dwell in Thee

"What To Do With Daylight" (2004)

Arithmetic Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

[Chorus]
I won't find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one
I want

When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want

Saving The World Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Didn't I tell you everything's fine?
If there's a good and bad we're somewhere in between
Often I feel like we're all navigating blind
Could we get a change of pace to set the scene?

We could stay another day in this confusion
Let it permeate us 'til we can't move on

[Chorus:]
But while we're waiting we could try saving the world
Or are we storing that up for a rainy day?
I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn
It could be fun to try
I think that I'll save the world as a fun afternoon activity

Seventy thousand things to ponder today
Most significant are bottom of the list
Forty five million recipes and ways
To exaggerate and compound the stress

We could stay another day in this apathy
Let it permeate us 'til we're numb through

[Chorus]

Oh...

[Chorus x2]

Still In Love Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

I'm not hanging on your every word
I'm thriving on my self-sufficiency
I'm not listening to the things I've heard
About me and you

People think there must be something to the way
I talk about you every chance I get
But if I think about you night and day
Doesn't mean I'm ready yet

Maybe I am knee-deep in denial
Or maybe I'm just trying to move on
Maybe I should keep away awhile
But if distance is right I'd rather be wrong

[Chorus]
'Cos I love the way you're smiling at me
When you know it's true
I'm still in love with you
And I love the way you're really trying
Not to let me see
You're still in love with me too

I am way to proud to verbalise my feelings
And you are way to mean if you just let this brew
It's a complicated hand that you've been dealing
Time to win me over: fold and make your move

Smooth some calm over this situation
I can't get past the way I feel for you
It's the little things that make this worth the effort
It's the small, little, insignificant things you do

That make me love the way you're glancing, hoping
When you know it's true
I'm still in love with you
And I love that I'm barely coping
When you let me see
You're still in love with me to

In love, still in love with
In love, still in love with
In love, still in love with you

Lifeline Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

I have this sinking feeling
Something's weighing me down
I am completely saturated
The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned
Doing the thing I said I hated

They've been swimming in the wrong water
Now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you'll lift me out

[Chorus]
Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline

Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right
Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out
'Cos it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted

'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out

[Chorus]

They've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know, 'cos I know

[Chorus]

Waste Another Day Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Don't you say it's too early
Baby I don't wanna waste the day
When we've everything on our side
And nothing in our way

We can do what we wanna
'Cos today the world is ours
Nothing gray, just real time and colour
In which to whittle away the hours

We could speak 'til nothing's left unspoken
We could drive 'til we've run out of road
We could drink 'til we've emptied the ocean
But I'd be happy here
Happy just to hold you

[Chorus]
'Til the suns and planets disappear
I could stay in your arms all year
Even if that means infinity through
If being producttive is being with you
Then baby I don't want to waste another day

I'll shout aloud what I'm feeling
Let my tongue be still no more
Now I know that it's the real thing
Just try and keep me quiet about it
Oh...

'Cos we could stare until we both are blinded
We could fall 'til gravity gets tired
We could lose our love just to re-find it
But I'm just happy here
Happy staying beside you

[Chorus x2]

Without You Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

The sky opens up over me and you
And you don't seem to mind that we're soaked through
You kiss me in the rain, I forget what I'm moaning about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

[Chorus]
I wouldn't be the same without you
I wouldn't be the same without you

I laugh at my own jokes and what I deem to be clever wit
And you don't seem to mind that I'm so stupid
You kiss me once again, I forget what I'm babbling about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

[Chorus]

I couldn't replicate your touch or love anyone again this much
But I wouldn't be the same without you

I wouldn't be the same
I wouldn't be the same
I wouldn't be the same without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

Reverie Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

I'm having trouble remembering where the lines cross your face
Your smile is fading from memory
Won't you hurry back and fill that space again?

I'm waiting, watching the water, quietly willing the phone to ring
I suspect this healthy silence
Will continue a few days yet, a few days yet

[Chorus]
I miss you, I miss you
I'm over now, I'm through
I miss you

I'm hanging here just reminiscing
About all the things you said to me
Hoping you plan on returning to interrupt my reverie

[Chorus]

You're sweet, sweeter than honey tea
You're precious and worth more than gold to me
I know I acted selfishly
Come on home

I'll beg and plead if you need me to
I'm head over heels over feet for you
Gonna have you wed by the end of this tune
Well, I hope...

I miss you, I miss you
Don't say we're done
We ain't through

Indelible Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Walk along here,feel you move somewhere in front of me
I can't place you with these eyes for the doubt I can't see

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why i believe

[Chorus]
That the first time I see yuor face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in your gaze
As you work and indelible change in me

All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in you

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

[Chorus x2]

An indelible change in me

Better Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Take my shoulder back now
Your head's too heavy for me
Please don't come around here no more
'Cos I asked you to stop
And you wouldn't

[Chorus]
I would give anything to make you better
I would give anything to point you to free
I would give anything to help you realise

I loved you 'til it killed me
So my logic wouldn't hurt you
I know you might blame me anyway
Well I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

[Chorus]
Thanks to trust_me_im_blonde for adding these lyrics.

You're not helping yourself to me

I've tried all the things they told me
Trying to close up the wounds left open by you
And if I seem doubtful, distrusting.....I am
You said you wouldn't do it agin
You said you wouldn't do it again

[Chorus]
Thanks to trust_me_im_blonde for adding these lyrics.

You're not helping yourself
You're not helping yourself by hurting me

Anything just to try and help you see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
Time to let you go, time for you to see
You ain't helping yourself by hurting me

Scarlet Lyrics – Brooke Fraser

Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

[Chorus]
So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you
And this very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
And even if it's real
You can't stay...

[Chorus x2]

Mystery lyrics - brooke fraser

I wanna get your words stuck in my head
I wanna touch your soul with mine
I want to always be, be by your lead
Always

I wanna know that you hung the stars in the sky
So on lonely nights I would know your presence
I wanna feel your love under my skin, down through my bones

[Chorus:]
Your love endures forever
Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better
Your love endures

I wanna feel the wind and know that you're near me
And see in the seasons your mystery
I wanna feel your love flow through my veins
Pound through my heart

[Chorus:]
Your love endures forever
Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better

I want to know how this could be
Yet your love remains a mystery
That's woven all the way
That's woven all the way
That's woven all the way through me

[Chorus:]
Your love endures forever
Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better
Your love endures
