"Ixora" (2014)

Have I Always Loved You? lyrics - Copeland

Never mind their talking down the dreamers.
Our world is standing still.
They wake up much too much, but see our castle will be
high above their arrows.
Our glasses flowing still,
I’m remembering you standing in the whitest dress I’d known.
Have I always loved you? Have I always known?
Have I always loved you alone?
Never mind the storm
that keeps us in at night,
the cold rain on the leaves.
The wind is much too much, but you and I are safe here laughing at the table.
Maybe I should look away,
but I only see you standing
in the whitest dress I’d known.
Have I always loved you? Have I always known?
Have I always loved you alone?

Disjointed lyrics - Copeland

Is it the sweetest song I’ve ever heard?
You’re singing in your native tongue, and how I long to be there within your words.
How I long to be your steady drum.
Now I feel that current pull me out, take me under, wash over again.
Nora close your eyes;
we’re going under.
And I will breathe you even
when we’re sinking down.
And as we’re drifting further,
hold you closer to me now.
Nora close your eyes; we’re going under.
In the quiet of now we will fall asleep, but I’ll awake at the sound
of your every stirring.
It’s that feeling of falling I never knew.
But I know it’s that feeling of falling
I fell for you.
Now I feel that current pull me out, take me under, wash over again.
Nora close your eyes;
we’re going under.
And I will breathe you even
when we’re sinking down.
And as we’re drifting further,
hold you closer to me now.
Nora close your eyes; we’re going under.

I Can Make You Feel Young Again lyrics - Copeland

Take me now;
take me anywhere you’re going.
Cause I can’t stay here;
I won’t make it long.
And this piece of my soul you’re controlling,
in this time and this space where we belong, it’s worsening.
It’s breaking down,
as a reel of thread unwinding.
You’re surfacing
just to take me down.
When I feel like I’m dead,
you’re reviving me.
A billion stars and here we are,
the same bit of dirt holding our weight.
And before it drags us under,
I can make you feel young again.
I can make you feel nothing at all for the years
that lead you here.
Now all your tears that have fallen will never show.
I can make you feel young again.
Your breathing is quickening.
Take my lungs; I owe you.
Lost and cold now,
there’s a place in my arms I can keep you.
A billion stars and here we are,
the same bit of dirt holding our weight.
And before it drags us under,
I can make you feel young again.
I can make you feel nothing at all for the years
that lead you here.
Now all your tears that have fallen will never show.
I can make you feel young again.

Erase lyrics - Copeland

Sweetest, taste your armor
I can never mold.
Feel it. Hold your honor, bright as fallen snow.
Now your heaven keeps me honest, but you can see my grey has faded, and you can’t erase it.
Never know you’re waiting, listening to your heart.
No one seems to notice
that all my broken parts get mended, but I feel alone,
and you can’t erase it again.
And from my words your will was broken, knowing I’ll never get it back.
Feeling all your worries, I can never know.
Bleeding for your kindness,
but I cannot control heaven
or your hell, when I have nothing
to offer you now,
and you feel alone,
and you can’t erase it again.
You’re still a breeze upon my skin, close my eyes, breathe you in.
I’m still the shadows in your night, taking over, until I fade into your light.
But you won’t erase me.
Heaven or hell will have to wait.
You won’t erase me.
So you just color me from grey.
“Hello” through the crowd
when I thought I saw your face.
Ever I was searching, endless all these days, but you didn’t know my name, now I...
I can’t help this awful feeling
that I can’t erase you.

Lavender lyrics - Copeland

I kissed you on a lavender hillside in the sun.
You closed your eyes, slept longer.
You’re the one that I needed all along, but I can’t feel you now.
And in the corner of my heart
I still hold you close,
prop your head up and pull you to your toes when you feel you’ve fallen down,
but I can’t feel you now.
We’d run through the tall grass, ever stumbling,
and never could have known it wouldn’t be this way.
But rest here now, I can’t go on when all our foolish words are falling in the way.
As time is drifting by, it’s all too much to fight through all our tears.
I wake alone, and I come undone, ‘cause I can almost feel
your waking eyes
searching for mine,
fighting all your tears.
Now I feel you like sunlight.
Now I feel you, but it burns
and I never sleep ‘cause
I can’t see into your night.
And now that I see you,
I can’t close my eyes.
And if my voice happens to fall on your ears,
I don’t know what would happen here.
If this song falls on your ears,
I don’t know what would happen here.

Ordinary lyrics - Copeland

Today was fine
I woke up late like I always do
Made work just in the nick of time
And thought of you

And when I returned
I found you just like I always do
Waiting for me like you always are

Since you came along, my days are ordinary
We laugh just like yesterday
And I kiss you like the day before
And I hold you just like ordinary
Perhaps when the day is new
We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too

Tomorrow came
My shadow it was growing long
I came home to find you singing songs
Just the same

And today it seems
You're smiling like you always are
Everyday its the same old thing

Since you came along, my days are ordinary
We laugh just like yesterday
And I kiss you like the day before
And I hold you just like ordinary
Perhaps when the day is new
We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too

Like A Lie lyrics - Copeland

Every peak and canyon we cross over,
we don’t even have to try.
You can see my famine through your own,
and be my well that never dries.
Here with my sweet companion,
every night I lay, unable to close my eyes...
And in a flash we are on the shore,
and everything we love is here.
There are songs inside your words,
every one that I adore.
How could I ever love you more?
How could I ever keep you here?
I can only make this worse.
I can only grasp for more.
Feels like a lie when I hold you.
Feels like a lie but it comes true.
And you know I was lost when I found you.
Now it feels like a lie when I hold you.
Every eye was watching as we held each other,
drifting out to sea.
Left the careless crowd and before we drown there,
awakened suddenly

Chiromancer lyrics - Copeland

Forever yours...
and I can feel you in the morning sun.
You warm me like no other one.
Forever yours...
Your voice is fading. I call your name,
‘cause I’m still here,
and the only thing that’s left for me is listening.
It’s the only way I make it through the night.
Are we just fooling ourselves, living in the moment?
Am I just dying inside, living all alone here?
In a storm of quiet voices,
you’re the only one that I can never find.
Just say you’re mine and the fog would lift,
‘cause the only thing that’s missing now is everything.
You’re the only way I make it through the night.
Are we just fooling ourselves, living in the moment?
Am I just dying inside, living all alone here?
In a storm of quiet voices,
you’re the only one that I can never find.
In the morning light, in the darkest night,
and in between, I’m forever yours.
I hear you call my name. It never sounds the same.
I hear you call my name.
If only I could call out through the void to reach you.
If only I could stretch across the depths to hold you.
If only for a moment I could make two parts a whole.
If only for a moment I could rest beside your soul.

World Turn lyrics - Copeland

In the back of your mind, everyone was watching,
but no one cared at all.
In a never-ending loop of time,
the quiet washed over you like white upon the wall.
Now you can feel the world move slow
if you lay down on your back and wait,
and suddenly you’re home.
And the waves will just keep crashing on your back
until you’re finally covered over.
And you felt the world turn.
And you felt the world turn its back on you...
Its back on you.

In Her Arms You Will Never Starve lyrics - Copeland

In her arms you will never starve.
You will never freeze, and when the world is hard,
you can fall asleep there.
In a world of chaos, she could be your silence.
The oceans of her kindness, they will pull you under.
So fall in. Break through it,
and when you stumble in the cold,
she will urge you onward.
And in your darkest hour,
should storms rage around you now,
her love will be a shelter,
and she will pull you under.
What if you can’t turn back?
What if you can’t turn back
when you’re finally tired of running?

Like I Want You lyrics - Copeland (feat. Steff Koeppen)

You're leaving
Like I want you
Like I ever did
Like I want you
Like I ever did

You're leaving
Like I want you
Like I ever did
Like I want you
Like I ever did

It's taking all my heart to love you
It's taking all my heart

It's taking all my heart to love you
It's taking all my heart

And when I feel your touch
When I know you're close
It takes my fear away
It takes my fear away

And when I turn to see
You bless me here
It takes my breath away
It takes my breath away

It's taking all my heart
It's taking all my heart to love you
It's taking all my heart
It's taking all my heart to love you

EP: "The Grey Man" (2009)




What Cannot Be Found (Part 1) lyrics - Copeland

Though every eye is wide, there's still not one to find it.
It vanishes like wine with nothing left behind it.
I found your life in grey and white and never thought I'd color it.
And love put up an awful fight.
You never made your peace with it.

So stay where you are. And hold what you love.
And feel what you want. And know all the while.
Don't hurt 'til it's done.

Every Silence lyrics - Copeland

With your bright dreams through the night.
It's all straight from your grey sky.
And falling all around you.
Tongue tied and all.

I know you're waiting on an answer.
I saw her beauty overwhelming.
She keeps you draped around her shoulders.
So don't let go.

Here loning to your side.
Held back to the confines.
And every silence all around me
is screaming through the walls.
So long to your dark night.
Gives way to your daylight.
Beauty all around you.
Tongue tied in awe.

You Are My Sunshine lyrics - Copeland

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Please don't take my sunshine away

"You Are My Sunshine" (2008)

Should You Return lyrics - Copeland

You see the night is all I have to make me feel,
And all I want is just a love to make it hurt.
Cause all I need is something fine to make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.

Because this song is all I have to make me feel,
And all it takes is just a love to make it hurt.
And every sound arranged in time can make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.

But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
And now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're are unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line should you return.
Should you return, should you return.

Because the night is all I have to make me feel,
And all I want is just a dream to make it worthwhile.
Cause all I need is someone close to make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.

But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line.
But now there's nothing left to do to draw you eyes.
(But now there's nothing left to do)
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're just sinking down,
I will pulling on your line.
But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
(But now there's nothing left to do)
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line should you return.
Should you return, should you return.

The Grey Man lyrics - Copeland

Don't worry now it's all erased,
Burned to grey and white.
Your fireproof heart was never wasted,
And steady all the while, or so you say.

Don't worry now it's all come back,
Color rests in night.
You'll be there, you'll see her face,
And hear her all the while.

By the time you've found your way,
You've gotta run right back to the start.
Don't think you've lost.
You've gotta run right back to the start.
And when you finally think it's gone,
You've gotta run right back to her arms.

Don't worry now it's all erased,
Burned to grey and white.
Tell yourself you don't still taste her,
Or hear her through the night.

By the time you've found your way,
You've gotta run right back to the start.
Don't think you've lost.
You've gotta run right back to the start.
And when you finally think it's gone,
You've gotta run right back to her arms.

Run, run fast enough to lose yourself.
Our legs were straight but only move in circles.

By the time you've found you way,
You've gotta run right back to the start.
Don't think you've lost,
You've gotta run right back to the start.
And when you finally think it's gone,
You've gotta run right back to the start.
You've gotta run right back to the start.
You've gotta run right back to the start.
You've gotta run right back to her arms.

Chin Up lyrics - Copeland

With your eyes closed,
Watching a strange show
Play out in your head,
But you were smiling somehow
And your day froze,
And everyone in it
Sat still as a rose,
But we were moving somehow.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Maybe we should only
Tip a bottle back to keep us filled up.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Everybody knows that,
You’d break your neck to keep your chin up.

Open your eyes,
And the drops come,
And a snail raced down to your neck,
And looked up,
But you were smiling somehow.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Maybe we should only
Tip a bottle back to keep us filled up.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Everybody knows that
You’d break your neck to keep your chin up.

Good Morning Fire Eater lyrics - Copeland


Wake up your eyes and darling your smile.
The day is done and everyone's gone now.
You can taste every fire and hold every song.
The world has moved, be quick enough to not miss it now.
So wake up your eyes and darling your smile.

I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.
Dear, do you know?
I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.

Wake up your eyes darling it's time,
To hope that for whatever they dry out.
It never takes long and everything's gone.
I only know her beauty won't fade out.
Back on your side, darling you lied to yourself.

I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.
Dear, do you know?
I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.
I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.
Dear, do you know?
I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.

Cause it's no good if you can have it all,
Well I'd give it back but I never stole the first part.
And it always goes when you need it the most,
The kindest love is still bleeding from the last shot.

To Be Happy Now lyrics - Copeland

In the moments before time starts moving backward,
I will feel her hand in the palm of mine.
And the cities will return to the field of flowers,
And every step we took tracing back in line.
And in disarray, you just want to live one more day.

Cause you just want to be happy now.
To be happy now.
To be happy now.

Longing and sorrow,
Well they will find you where we are,
Smiling down the avenue.
And the children getting younger as we pass,
They couldn't make you turn back.

Cause you just want to be happy now.
To be happy now.
To be happy now.

When every fire we sparked was just another blinking out,
They're glowing like an ember in the dark.

Cause you just want to be happy now.
To be happy now.
To be happy now.

The Day I Lost My Voice (The Suitcase Song) lyrics - Copeland

As sure as the floor 'neath my toes,
And somehow not surprised
That I was superimposed
Somehow in this life
And if my friends and my foes
Would just drop me a line
That'd be nice

You see love is a drink
That goes straight to my head
And time is a lover
And I'm caught in her stead
And the sentiment there follows me
Straight to my bed through the night

I've got my life in a suitcase
And ready to run run run away
I've got no time
'cause I'm always trying to run run run away
'cause everyday it feels like it's only a game
I've got my life in a suitcase, a suitcase, a suitcase

What could be an anchor here
With a storm on the rise
When you're never meant to see so clear
When smoke gets in your eyes
And the man in the moon
Never makes his replies understood?

I've got my life in a suitcase
And ready to run run run away
I've got no time
'cause I'm always trying to run run run away
'cause everyday it feels like it's only a game
I've got my life in a suitcase, a suitcase, a suitcase

For a moment I was warm and the world made sense
For a moment here this storm had no consequence

I've got my life in a suitcase
And ready to run run run away
I've got no time
'cause I'm always trying to run run run away
'cause everyday it feels like its only a game
I've got my life in a suitcase, a suitcase, a suitcase

On The Safest Ledge lyrics - Copeland

Don't look ahead, just run to me
Each step will find the next one recklessly
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
Well pardon me, I couldn't help myself
Girl, fall into your life here
If only for a while, I'm here

Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine, it's fine

You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were
An empty house, a lonely room
The TV talks the fear right out of you
But you feel like someone's standing by but you'll never know

Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine

The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night

Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine

Not Allowed lyrics - Copeland

Here we go I'll smile for you now cause you're sad,
But I'm not allowed to be sad.
And here we go, I'll make a joke for you now, make you smile
But I'm not allowed to be sad.

And turn away fallen on the inside from your sky.
I felt no pain and didn't ever want to wonder why.

Here we go I'll burn for you now cause you're mine,
And you're not allowed to feel nothing.
Careful I may fall apart for you now, make you cry
But I'm not allowed to be sad.

And turn away fallen on the inside from your sky.
I felt no pain and didn't ever want to wonder why.

And turn away fallen on the inside from your sky.
I felt no pain and didn't ever want to wonder why.

Strange And Unprepared lyrics - Copeland

I never stop feeling strange,
Cause you never know if you really changed.
You can never tell if your center stage
Is thin as glass and never meant a thing.
And you never feel good or bad only strange and unprepared.
Cause I never see you coming or you leaving.
Now we'll always never know.
And we'll always...
But now we'll always never know.
And now we'll always...

And you never feel good or bad only strange and unprepared.
Cause I never see it coming or you leaving.
And now we'll always never know.
Now we'll always...
And now we'll always never know.
And now we'll always...

What Do I Know? lyrics - Copeland

It's brittle and it trembles as the wind is coming toward,
And if you string it up it dries right out with time.
So raise your glass to that new dollar,
In the bank we're reaching for.
But the drink was sweeter before we had a dime.

But you're far away now,
And you've got troubles, all your own,
Just to spend your whole life shooting down.

Oh, oh what do I know?
What do I know?
Oh, oh what do I know?
What do I know?

If you feel restless where you are, it may be easier to stay.
There are a million other fools to make your bed.
And they'll be closing all the shades
To keep you right there in that grave.
And I'll be knocking cause you never left my head.

But you're far away now,
And you've got troubles, all your own,
Just to spend your whole life shooting down.

Oh, oh what do I know?
What do I know?
Oh, oh what do I know?
What do I know?

Oh, oh what do I know?
What do I know?
Oh, oh what do I know?
What do I know?

Not So Tough Found Out lyrics - Copeland

Not so tough found out, found out.
Feel so warm sun fire, sun fire.
Not so strong lost out, lost out.
Twice as sweet come round, come round.

And not so fast come back, come back.
Steal away a smile, a smile.
Not right now lay down, lay down.
Not so tough found out, found out.

Oh, oh, oh

Not so tough found out, found out.
Feel so warm sun fire, sun fire.
not so strong lost out, lost out.
twice as sweet come round, come round.

Oh, oh, oh

Not so fast come back, come back.
Steal away a smile, a smile.
Not right now lay down, lay down.
Not so tough found out, found out.

Hold me. You're here and then you're gone.
Love like a dream, like a sigh.
Tell me you're hearing every word now,
Like a song, love like a song.

Not so tough found out, found out.
Feel so warm sun fire, sun fire.
Not so strong lost out, lost out.
Twice as sweet come round, come round.

And not so fast come back, come back.
Steal away a smile, a smile.
Not right now lay down, lay down.
Not so tough found out, found out.

Feel so warm sun fire, sun fire.

"Eat, Sleep, Repeat" (2006)

Where's My Head lyrics - Copeland

Where I hung my coat, it's where I left my head
So you'd be wise to doubt every word I ever said
'Cause I just woke to eat some chocolate
And go straight back, I'll go straight back to bed

Where's my head?
Where's my head?
Where's my head?
Where's my head?

And I'd search for reason I'm awake
To hear this song march, blasphemy I'd take
And the only chance that I have tonight
Is if something that I ate made my dreams not right
And my love shows up in a dress of white

Where's my head?
Where's my head?
Where's my head?
Where's my head?

Eat, Sleep, Repeat lyrics - Copeland

It occurred to me at once
That love could be a great illusion
That makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday
And turns hearts of stone and steel
To a place where they would feel
Like they are falling, falling quickly in its way
Falling, falling quickly in its way

Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun?
And all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
And do you thinks it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
And all this time you didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love...

It occurred to me at once
That love gets everything it asks for
Like a young girl picking flowers in the lawn
She gets every kiss and tear
She gets every smile and fear, but still
She never finds the last of them is gone, oh
She never finds the last of them is gone

Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun?
And all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
And all this time you didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love...

Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun?
And all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
And all this time you didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)

Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun?
And all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
And do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
And all this time you didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love (didn't know love)
You didn't know love...

Control Freak lyrics - Copeland

You lose control when you hold too tight,
And turn your head long enough to let it bite.
'Cause faith left me staring at the ceiling through the night.
It's freaking me out.

And when I fell asleep, it plagued my dreams,
And 30 bits of glass had become my teeth.
They were breaking each and every time I tried to speak.
It's freaking me out.

You're freaking me out,
You're freaking me out.
And I could run like a coward for the door,
But I'll never get out.
You're freaking me out.

You lose your mind if you lose control.
It makes you feel ashamed for the hearts you stole.
And now your own heart's scared of an attack,
'Cause you can't give them back.
You're stressing me out when you prove me wrong,
You're wearing me out 'cause I've slept so long.

You're freaking me out,
You're freaking me out.
And I could run like a coward for the door,
But I'll never get out.
You're freaking me out.

Threw it all away,
I threw it all
And I threw it all away,
And the best part is not knowing just what I threw away.
I threw it all away.

You're freaking me out,
You're freaking me out.
And I could run like a coward for the door,
But I'll never get out.
You're freaking me out.

You're freaking me out,
You're freaking me out.
But I keep running right back around for more,
'Cause I'm in love with my doubt.
It's freaking me out.

Careful Now lyrics - Copeland

Oh, maybe you should make a list for me
Of everything important in this world
In a note of urgency
'Cause I don't know how to feel

Maybe you should stay a mystery
And I know you as well as anyone else
And you will appear the same to me
'Cause I don't know how to feel

Ooooh, ooooh...

Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt, you'll hurt someone else

Oh, maybe you should make a list of me
Of everything important in this world
In a note of urgency
'Cause I don't know how to feel

I threw everything out that doesn't make sense
To find a thousand more things that don't make sense
And I can't help but get lost in a fault like this
When I don't know how to hide myself in open air
Where I'm all alone, alone, alone

Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt, you'll hurt someone
Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt, you'll hurt someone else

Ooooh, ooooh....

Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt, you'll hurt someone
Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt, you'll hurt someone else

Love Affair lyrics - Copeland

Fell past a cheekbone hill
To a piece of her floor.
The hope of the world
In an awkward spill.

Oh she'd lie on her bed
And stare into harsh white light.
And think that her heart's not right.

'Cause love took her hand like a thief,
took her heart like a robber
and the feelings that scare her
become her relief.

Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.

In a flash a heart is slain.
You have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
Was your love in vain?

Was your kiss too weak?
Were your eyes too tight?
And much too young to be in love.
Much too young to be in love.

Just let me run where I want to run.
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run.
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run.
Just let me love who I want.

There are no rules for this love.
Just keep your head and don't give up.
Like all the fools who play it smart.
Lose your head just for your heart
Just for your heart...

I'm Safer On An Airplane lyrics - Copeland

It happened then, it happens now
They let you in, they let you down
And it feels like we can't get out
And it feels like hell

I think I'm safer in an airplane
I think I'm safer with my lungs full of smoke
I think I'm safer on the jetway
Than a world without hope

The day came in, the day went out
And not a bit of peace was spoken about
And it feels like a suicidal world
And it feels like hell

I think I'm safer in an airplane
I think I'm safer if I run through the street
I think I'm safer on the jetway
Than a world without peace

Oh, what arms will stretch out when they've had enough?
Oh, when they are tired of holding up us...

I think I'm safer on an airplane
(I think I'm safer on an airplane)
I think I'm safer in the sky up above
I think I'm safer on the jetway
Than a world without...

I think I'm safer on an airplane
(I think I'm safer on an airplane)
I think I'm safer in the sky up above
I think I'm safer on the jetway
Than a world without love

By My Side lyrics - Copeland

It's takin' time, all this fear I pushed back to move on
Beating me like a panic attack since you've gone
And if I never fear to be more alone, I do now

I turn to see my faded tracks in the snow
I've come so far with no idea where to go
And if I never fear to be more alone, I do now
I do now

I need you to tell me you'll be right by my side
When I feel alone, you'll be right by my side, ooh

It's takin' hold of a fool with a fondness for pain
And turn to run without a chance to explain
And if I never thought I'd fall like the rain, I do now
I do now

I don't look back to spot where I fell
Don't you look back, and don't you ever tell
'Cause we know pride, it doesn't heal all that well
All that well, all that well

I need you to tell me you'll be right by my side
When I feel alone, you'll be right by my side
In a crazy world, you'll be right by my side

I need you to tell me you'll be right by my side
When I feel alone, you'll be right by my side
In a crazy world...

And I need you to tell me you'll be right by my side
When I feel alone, you'll be right by my side
You'll be right by my side

Cover What You Can lyrics - Copeland

Oooh, you could run and hide
Oooh, in the street outside

But if you get caught in the rain,
Just cover what you can,
And the rest it washes out
Like a bloodstain

Oooh, oooh

And if you get caught in the fire,
Just think about what made your heart cry out
For a little fire at all

Ooh...

The Last Time He Saw Dorie lyrics - Copeland

He's in love with tragedy, in love with tragedy
She was a wreck, but he loved her
She was a wreck, but so was he
And the last time he saw Dorie, he didn't know what to say but
"Thank you because you loved me, it's all on me
cause I didn't want to stay, I didn't want to stay..."

Live, live, live because you love, love, love
And love will make you give, give, give
And give in when you break, break, break
But you just want to fix yourself
Just to break again...

I'm A Sucker For A Kind Word lyrics - Copeland

I'd be hanging on their words
Like they almost meant a thing
And the only lullaby I heard
The sirens blaring, singing me to sleep
Holding my loved one tight...

On the softness of her laugh,
I could almost make my bed
But the racket of her absence draw in
The sirens blaring, ringing in my head
Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight
With my eyes so wide

In a house without a back door
I was looking for a fire escape
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
Just trying to get away
From this sleeplessness,
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

She'd be hanging on my words
Like I almost meant a thing
And I'd give anything not to let her down
But finally sleep through just one more tonight
Holding her so tight, holding her so tight
But my eyes are wide

In a house without a back door
I was looking for a fire escape
And I'll be ripping up the floorboards
Just trying to get away
From this sleeplessness,
Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

'Cause my mind just can't stop moving, I think I know why
Oooh, I know why
It's sad, but I'm a sucker for a kind word
And I'll just hurt until I find one
I'll just hurt until I find one

And I've been trying all the windows
And I've been running up the staircase
In a house without a back door...

Sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
In a house without a back door (Sleeplessness)
I was looking for a fire escape (Sleeplessness)
And I'd be ripping up the floorboards (Sleeplessness)
Just trying to get away...

When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out lyrics - Copeland

In other lives
In a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine
I wrote the plotline
Only I knew who survived
And through the night
In a really fast car on an uphill climb
Blew past a danger sign
And fell through darkness, sublime
But awoke just in time

They’re gonna come to light tonight
They’re gonna come to light tonight
They’re gonna come to light tonight
But not for the last time

In younger days
I do my schoolwork while the neighbors play
But stare into space
With no feeling to convey
With no look on my face
In younger days
I’m stealing bases while my mother prays
And dreading to wake
Longing for one more play

They’re gonna come to light tonight
They’re gonna come to light tonight
They’re gonna come to light tonight
But not for the last time

I don’t know what everyone was looking at
I don’t care what everyone was laughing at
I don’t know what everyone was staring at
I think, I think that it’s me

I don’t know what everyone was looking at
I don’t care what everyone was laughing at
I don’t know what everyone was staring at
I think, I think that it’s me

Didn’t I tell you that I could hear you running out?
Didn’t I find you when I knew you were hiding out?
Didn’t I see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
Didn’t I find you? Didn’t I find you?

I don’t know what everyone was looking at
I don’t care what everyone was laughing at
I don’t know what everyone was staring at (they’re gonna come to light tonight)
I think, I think that it’s me

Didn’t I see you when you thought you’d never stand out? (I think, I think that it’s me)
Didn’t I find you? (They’re gonna come to light tonight)
I think, I think that it’s me

I don’t know what everyone was looking at
I don’t care what everyone was laughing at
I don’t know what everyone was staring at
I think, I think that it’s me

Didn’t I see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
Didn’t I find you? (They’re gonna come to light tonight)
I think, I think that it’s me

"In Motion" (2005)

No One Really Wins lyrics - Copeland

Welcome love, I have made a place for you here
I know every word they say.
I know how they want to make you change.

Change if you want, but don't you go and change for me
I can love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind,
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time

If you don't find the love you want,
if I have acted ungracefully
I don't want to see you go
I never meant to make you want to leave

But go if you want.
Make your way straight to the door.
I hope that you look back before you go
'cause grace looks back before it starts to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind,
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time

Change if you want, but don't you go and change for me
I will love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time

Choose The One Who Loves You More lyrics - Copeland

Rain, rain, rain on my mind
I've got a secret life
Wipe, wipe, wipe it away
Nothing can make me dry

Fight all the while
Fight 'til I think I'm free
Feel rains we never see
Beautiful secret lives

It can make you face all your fears
It can make you face all your fears

Oh, smile, smile in a day
Fear takes its place at night
Oh, oh, I'm pretty in the rain
I love your secret life

It can make you face all your fears
It can make you face all your fears.

I could leave you well enough alone
Believe and you'll be overcome and gone
By grace away
Better off than if I stayed
I could leave you well enough alone
Believe and you'll be overcome and gone
By grace away
Better off than if I stayed

I could leave you walk away
We'll save it for another day
Through all the wars I've come to know
It's punches pulled, not towels thrown in

When they come knocking on your heart's door
Choose the one who loves you more
And when you've found something to die for
(Make you face all your fears)
They'll be knocking on your heart's door
(Make you face all your fears)
When they come knocking on your heart's door
(Make you face all your fears)
Choose the one who loves you more
(Make you face all your fears)
And when you've found something to die for
(Make you face all your fears)
They'll be knocking on your heart's door
(Make you face all your fears)
When they come knocking on your heart's door
(Make you face all your fears)
Choose the one who loves you more
(Make you)

Pin Your Wings lyrics - Copeland

Hey Amanda
Where'd you find these crazy boys this time?
They say you're pretty but you don't think they're right.

Hey Amanda
While you're staring at your telephone tonight
do you feel like turning it off, turning off all of the lights?

Pin your wings down
if it's over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

Hey Amanda
who just threw your heart away this time?
And when you're crying on your bed does he help keep you alive?

Pin your wings down
if it's all over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

I'll take the blame if you take me home now
Cuz there's no place left for trust in all this pain
And you know when it rains in this town I get washed away
Without a sound
So pin my wings down

If it's over
If it's over now

Pin your wings down
if it's over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

Sleep lyrics - Copeland

Am I sleeping with my eyes wide
Am I alone?
Am I staring into bright lights
Have I gone home?
I must be dreaming when I'm sitting here
On someone else's throne
Am I sleeping with my eyes wide
Won't you let me know?

Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?

Am I sleeping with my eyes wide
Am I alone?
Am I following the lines on faces never shone?
I want to see your hairline, your cheekbones
Your red lips on your cell phone
Won't you let me know?

Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?

Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my bedside?
Will I wake to find you waiting by my side?

Kite lyrics - Copeland

I hid myself from failure and fear
O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall

Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep

Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight

Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old
O my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me

Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep

Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight

Don't Slow Down lyrics - Copeland

With a heart so pure
You could fall so quickly
But don't you dare slow down for me
Were it not for hearts like mine
Calloused thickly
You could fall so easily
(Don't you dare slow down for me)

You could take everything I have
Just don't leave my side now, don't leave my side
You could take everything I have
Just don't leave my side now, don't leave my side

Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
This moment could be our last
You fall in love and I'm running after
You move way too fast

But don't slow down
And don't let go
Hold me close now, lest I fall
They say I don't know how to love the right way
But you make me feel, you make me feel like I do

You could take everything I have
Just don't leave my side now, don't leave my side
You could take everything I have
Just don't leave my side now, don't leave my side

Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
This moment could be our last
You fall in love and I'm running after
You move way too fast

Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
(Don't slow down)
This moment could be our last
(Don't slow down)
You fall in love and I'm running after
(Don't slow down)
You move way too fast

Don't slow down
Don't slow down

Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
This moment could be our last
You fall in love and I'm running after
You move way too fast

Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
(Don't slow down)
This moment could be our last
(Don't slow down)
You fall in love and I'm running after
(Don't slow down)
You move way too fast

Don't slow down
Don't slow down

Love Is A Fast Song lyrics - Copeland

You don't have to be ashamed
'Cause you're a miracle through and through
Oh, and you don't have to be ashamed
Of the miracle inside of you

What has love become?
(What has love become?)
It's not like we used to hear in those old songs
And it's not like yours
(And it's not like yours)
What has love become?

Whoa...your love is in motion
And it's spinning me around again
Whoa...my heart is in motion
For the movement that's in you

You should not be angry
If all she wants is your money
Oh, you should not be angry
'Cause all you want is her body

What has love become?
(What has love become?)
It's not like we used to hear in those old songs
And it's not like yours
(And it's not like yours)
What has love become?

Whoa...your love is a fast song
And I'm dancing 'cause I'm loved again
Whoa...my heart is in motion
For the rhythm inside you
Whoa...your love is a slow song
It's resounding through my world again
Whoa...my heart is in motion
For the song inside of you

Whoa...your love is in motion
And it's spinning me around again
Whoa...your love is a fast song
And I'm dancing 'cause I'm loved again
Whoa...your love is a slow song
It's resounding through my world again
Whoa...my heart is in motion
For the song inside of you

You Have My Attention lyrics - Copeland

Quiet now, your voice seems miles away
Yet somehow, I hear your song resound
A little bit softer each day
And from my tired heart, a little bit farther away

I’ll sing along
The whole day through
Just do your best to hear me
It’s all you can do

You have my attention
Like you’ve had all the while
Since that first day when you made my heart smile
With loving eyes and tired sighs that flow
You have my attention
Like a shout through an empty sanctuary
Speak but a whisper

I’ll hear a sermon
I’ll sing along, the whole day through
Just do your best to hear me
It’s all you can do
I’ll sing along, the whole night through
While you sleep safely
I’ll be thinking about you

You have my attention

You Love To Sing lyrics - Copeland

i've never any time to play
i always seems to slip away
but it never really goes by
while i wait here with my lullaby
for our only try

sing with your head up
with your eyes closed
not because you love the song
because you love to sing
because you love to sing, oh

you saw this frustration on my brow
you noticed i'm distracted now
i'm thinking only of my bill fold
and how I want to face you with
diamonds and gold in my head, in my head

sing with your head up
with your eyes closed
not because you love the song
because you love to sing
because you love to sing, oh
