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.
