The girl in the chair with the long golden hair
Well that used to be me
A flirtatious smile unpredictably wild
Always trying to please
I was always walking one step ahead
Or so I thought until the monster crawled into my bed
Rewind and erase that shock look on your face
'cause your mona lisa is dead
A million words a thousand days
The girl I used to be
Has a terrible case of mistaken identity
And yesterday's girl is not what you see
It's a terrible case of mistaken identity
The sun likes to rise and the moon likes to fall
And that's kinda like my life
I've played the role of the nice girl next door
Who gets cut like a knife
Now I'm not looking for apologie eyes
And I don't want to spend a night on a bed of beautiful lies
Erase and rewind leave that sick girl behind and fast forward, fast forward
A thousand days
The girl I used to be
Has a terrible case of mistaken identity
And yesterday's girl is not what you see
It's a terrible case of mistaken identity
That's not me, it's just not me
That's not me
The girl I used to be
Has a terrible case of mistaken identity
And yesterday's girl is not what you see
It's a terrible case of mistaken identity
Prepare yourself to meet a girl who can not sleep
Dividing every question 'til the questions are complete
Every twisted tongue she studies everyone
She won't leave any stone unturned the night is oh so young
Oh oh she's traveling back in time
Questioning every line that someone said
Oh oh she's trying to understand
Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make sense of her life
Digging around in the dirt she's a slave to the work
She's always the analyst
Can you be sure we haven't met see the eyes they don't forget
They wander through the passage-ways that tease a restless mind
Can't afford to slip the picture's gotta fit
Her world's a photograph that gets dissected bit by bit
Oh oh she's traveling back in time
Questioning every line that someone said
Oh oh she's trying to understand
Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make sense of her life
Digging around in the dirt she's a slave to the work
She's always the analyst
Re-living the mistake she's made not a moment for the curious girl
Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make sense of this life
Digging around breaking it down
Neurotic thoughts
Burning the ground
Every sight every sound
She's always the analyst
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are crashing And
Striking us down
Two people shipwrecked
Stranded alone
Praying for dry land to save our souls
Hurricane season just knocked us down
Emotional suicides running the ground
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are crashing And
Striking us
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in love's electric storm
Feels like our last chance to get out alive
Will we survive this treachous night
Predators waiting circling around
Sky full of fireworks burn without sound
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are crashing And
Striking us
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in loves electric storm
Have we never been stronger?
Have we never been tighter?
But we're close to the wire again
Have we never been safer?
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are crashing And
Striking us down
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home
Tell me how can we find our way home
In love's electric storm
Oohh you rubbed me up the wrong way
Oohh it was something that you didn't say
Gotta get it back gotta get it back gotta get it back
Or we might just regret it
We seem to have a knack for miscommunication
It stabbed us in the back this time
Is this the end of the line
'cause that'd be a crime
Now I sit under an angry cloud
What got hold of me
There's a voice that sounds too loud
It bangs on endlessly
Wanna live in another world with no frustrations
And miscommunication
Oohh why'd we have to try hard
Oohh you got under my radar
Wanna be detached wanna be detached wanna be detached
So I can just forget it
We seem to have a knack for miscommunication
It stabbed us in the back this time
Is this the end of the line
'cause that'd be a crime
Now I sit under an angry cloud
What got hold of me
There's a voice that sounds too loud
It bangs on endlessly
Wanna live in another world with no frustrations
And miscommunication
(When we are) Transatlantic
(he knows it) drives me frantic
(so I ask myself) what's the future
(why getta) new computer
Oohh it was something that you didn't say?
Just like the glorious northern star you guided me
Shining a light of pure tranquility
To a secret place where no-one else could go
Free to reveal the things I never show
Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run
I was deserted like the moon is at the dawn
I never thought I'd ever find a place so beautiful
All my heart was falling like a stone
Deep into an ocean vast and colourful
Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run
One step on the horizon
A safe place up on the mountain
So far away from chaotic life
No one can buy true love in their life
We all need someone on standby
The night drew long you kept me strong
Now I can thank you in this song
You are my rock, you touch my soul
You brought me light, when all hope was gone
You showed me the secrets, that I could unlock
You are my brother, you are my rock
I've seen people come and go young and old from all walks of life
They all leave a bookmark in the story that I write
Only when your luck's run out you find out who really counts
You are my rock, you touch my soul
You brought me light, when I couldn't go on
You showed me the secrets, that I could unlock
You are my brother, you are my rock
No one can buy new love in their life
We all need someone until we die
