THE PHOENIX - LYRICS

SIOBHAN (Track 2; lyrics by Lisa Liu & SMV)

When I catch myself alone (x 4)
I can’t help myself (x 2)

Tear me up (x 4)

It’s been so long
Since we’ve been alone (x 2)
 

AFTER A DAY (Track 4; lyrics by Lisa Liu)

I

And after a day
And after a day                       (Give me something)
And after a day                       (Give me nothing, the story of my life)
And after a day

II

I’m blinded by the sun
And by the look of one
So little time to hold
Anything of my own

III

Somewhere there’s promise in this land
Somewhere there’s music in my head

IV

And all the things that I have seen
All the sores that have opened me
When god is love and love is gone
What is it that I have lost?

V

Every time I wonder when I’ll find (x 2)

I

Overhead I saw it come and then I
Watched it float
It floated, floated over (x 4)

II

When I saw when I saw when I saw when I
When I saw it coming (x 2)

Repeat I

III

Then you came then you came then you came then you
And then you stopped it (x 2)

IV

Yes I do I do I want it (x 7)
Yes I do I mean I want it

V

And then you came I saw you came and then you
And then you stopped it (x 4)
 

CAVEAT (Track 6; lyrics by Lisa Liu & SMV)

I

You come you go (x 2)
I feel I don’t (x 2)

II

And I want you to know

III

I come I go (x 2)
You feel you don’t (x 2)

IV

Have you ever been so alone?

V

You are always on my mind
Even with all the signs (x 2)

I never would have said
I never would have left
I never would have said
Oh no!

Repeat II


FIGHT SONG (Track 8; lyrics by SMV)

I

Speak
I don’t hear a word, a sound
Carry me off the ground
Tell me again
Shut down
And I’m gone

II

You only gave me a song
I thought you’d give me a sign
Tell me
What have I done?

I only gave you a song
You thought I’d give you a sign
I’d tell you, what have you done?

Repeat I


BIG SUR (Track 10; lyrics by Lisa Liu)

Called it off
All come down
Give me time
To wash it off
Is there ever a sign?

Does it ever last?
It’s never easy to say
What’s hidden in my mind

So long, my love
Knowing you
You’ll never change, you’ll never change
And I’ll always wait
