Sunset Surrender "Lives Like The city" Songs and Lyrics
Postcard Summer - Lyrics
Staring through the window
Watching the hours pass me by
Dreaming of days long gone
My heart aches for the feel of your touch
You showed me love, you set me free
From a prison with no walls, a riot within me
The boy that used to roam and wander
Was never lost at all
Can you remember, when we were younger
The puzzle still had every piece
Life’s too short to walk a single road
(I’m fully awake) yet I still dream
I still remember the look in your eyes
As we sat and I played my guitar
Do you remember trying to escape from it all
Hiding in the Postcard Summer
The nights are long
Why can’t I feel like I belong?
Am I losing my mind without you?
I still dream, of way back then
Running in circles with no cares
Those were the days
Those are the times
When we found meaning in the rest of our lives
You showed me love, you set me free
From a prison with no walls, a riot within me
The boy that used to roam and wander
Was never lost at all
If I could turn back time
I wouldn’t change a thing
So I’d still be yours and you’d still be mine
Â
Can you remember, when we were younger
The puzzle still had every piece
Life’s too short to walk a single road
(I’m fully awake) yet I still dream
I still remember the look in your eyes
As we sat and I played my guitar
Do you remember trying to escape from it all
Hiding in the Postcard summer
Lives like the City - Lyrics
When I close my eyes all I can see
Are the lights of the cities where I came to be
A broken voice echoes through crowded streets
What if I didn’t turn out as who you wanted me to be
My mind goes numb from trying to believe
As the sound of a thought drowns in the rubble of unfulfilled dreams
My body shakes violently as emotions creep from within
Filling its longing so the cycle can begin
Â
What if things began the same way they ended
A voice calls out in the city’s dream
Those endless stories, they live like the city
Brought to life by hearts unfolding
In front of your eyes, it lives like the city
Â
Dreams of movement followed by blurry lights
Bring this world back to life
As windows fog up, our fingers lay out the rest of our lives
As the rising sun shakes us awake
We crave for more as we’re forced back into the game
Just like pawns, we rise and fall
Fulfilling its desire for balance, we even the score
Â
We are, we’re connected, but are we one
Never closer, yet so far apart
Â
A voice calls out in the city’s dream
Those endless stories, they live like the city
Brought to life by hearts unfolding
In front of your eyes, it lives like the city
A voice calls out in the city’s dream
Those endless stories, they live like the city
Brought to life by hearts unfolding
In front of your eyes, it lives like the city
It lives like the city
Your Surrender - Lyrics
Can you remember
Will you surrender
Can you remember
Will you surrender
Â
I heard your eyes call my name
As dusk rewinds the sun never sets
A minute sustained forever
Our hearts beat together
Give into the moment
We’ll never run out of time
Â
Can you remember
Words never said aloud
Will you surrender
All that you left behind
Can you remember
Please take me away from here
Will you surrender
Show me the way that you feel
Â
Will you keep running away or will you surrender
Give into the moment
We’ll never run out of time
Â
Can you remember
Words never said aloud
Will you surrender
All that you left behind
Can you remember
Please take me away from here
Will you surrender
Show me the way that you feel
Memoirs of a Future I- Lyrics
I’ve been waiting for someone to save me
I’ve been waiting for my luck to change
I’ve been waiting for something to take me away
I’ve felt the pain, but where’s the gain
Time stands still, is this not part of the drill
And so the story goes, over and over again
Endings and beginnings unfold
The brave don’t live forever but the cautious don’t live at all
Be that boy who dreamt of reaching for the stars
Latch on the feeling you know you can’t deny
Find the truth that lies deep inside of you
Use it to break free and search for the sun
Love yourself and what you do
For that’s who you’ll become
Â
I’ve been waiting for someone to save me
I’ve been waiting for my luck to change
I’ve been waiting for something to take me away
I’ve felt the pain, but where’s the gain
Time stands still, is this not part of the drill
And so the story goes, over and over again
Endings and beginnings unfold
The brave don’t live forever but the cautious don’t live at all
Be that boy who dreamt of reaching for the stars
Latch on the feeling you know you can’t deny
Find the truth that lies deep inside of you
Use it to break free and search for the sun
Love yourself and what you do, for that’s who you’ll become
Don’t be afraid and
Â
Be that boy who dreamt of reaching for the stars
Latch on the feeling you know you can’t deny
Find the truth that lies deep inside of you
Use it to break free and search for the sun
Love yourself and what you do, for that’s who you’ll become
Fading lights - Lyrics
Fading lights
Daydreaming of better times
Memories
Of faces and places left behind
In the wake of time
In the wake of time
Â
Fading tides
A washed-out image of who we are
The city lights
Built by countless dreamers who’ve fallen apart
In the wake of time
Until the end of times
Feel the spark
Fireworks going off in your heart
It’s who you are
A final kiss, with a fading breath
Close your eyes, feel the edge
Staring past the end, while alive
Fading sights
The hourglass laying down on its side
Wave goodbye
To the world, you’ve known
From the window up high
In the wake of time
As all is left behind
Have me, take me, please will you save me
Have me, take me, please will you save me
Feel the spark
Fireworks going off in your heart
It’s who you are
A final kiss, with a fading breath
Close your eyes, feel the edge
Staring past the end, while alive
Mysterious Love - Lyrics
A wild ride
Two worlds collide
In the distance
Echoes a cry
Two lovers
Partners in crime
Perfect strangers
Destinies unwind
They are looking for a sunset
They are Searching for a way out
A forever-growing flame of hope glowing in their eyes
They are looking for a sunset
They are Searching for a way out
They are Dreaming of tomorrow in the promised land
Nothing is what it seems
A glitch in the system, two souls born to be free
Love happens in mysterious ways
Two hearts beat as one
As free as stars in the sky
Memories forged in the fire of love
Will last forever in the hour pure gold
Â
Their spark ignited
Two lost souls
Once broken-hearted
Searching for yesterday
Dreaming of better days
In pursuit of their fate
Nothing is going to stop them now
The love for each other
The trust in one another
A forever-growing flame of hope glowing in their eyes
They are looking for a sunset
They are Searching for a way out
They are Dreaming of tomorrow in the promised land
Nothing is what it seems
A glitch in the system, two souls born to be free
Â
Love happens in mysterious ways
Two hearts beat as one
As free as stars in the sky
Memories forged in the fire of love
Will last forever in the hour pure gold
Love happens in mysterious ways
Two hearts beat as one
As free as stars in the sky
Memories forged in the fire of love
Will last forever in the hour pure gold
A Harmless Lie - Lyrics
I’ve been dreaming of sunlight
Pouring through my shades
I’ve looked up at the stars
Just to pretend it’s the same place
No religion
Not an ounce of luck
The same one-way ticket
Pushing me back to the start
A blessing in disguise,
To fool myself and believe
That this time
I’d fall closer to the finish line
Can’t you see?
The light in me might fade but will never die
The night won’t last forever
And I won’t go down without a fight
Oh
The bitter taste of a goodbye, in promise of a new life
No
It’s out of my control
All I’m left with are the shattered pieces of my heart and soul
Then I wake up, and it’s all gone
Some call it strength
Learning how to land a fall
Make no mistake
It’s all I’ve ever known
Empty pages filled with unwritten words
Swept as clouds by the wind, into the unknown
As broken truths spread
Through a crippled world
An empty promise made,
As I stare at the sky and recite
A harmless lie
One day
I will belong
One day
I’ll belong
Oh
The bitter taste of a goodbye, in promise of a new life
No
It’s out of my control
All I’m left with are the shattered pieces of my heart and soul
The Dance - Lyrics
In search of forever
Something once lost
Meant to be found
Add a little bit of hope
With a little bit of courage
And a little bit of love
It takes two to tango
We live in a jungle
Emotions strive to be untangled
Destiny’s written in sand
The riddle lies unanswered
Those who seek shall find
But tonight
The fight’s on the dancefloor
Â
Come, and dance with me
So I can feel like myself
Give me the strength to see
That boy in the mirror
Who will he turn out to be
Come and dance with me
It’s hard to go forward
Without stepping backwards
Roll the dice
I’ll be at your side
Take my hand and dance with me
Let the rhythm flow
A wanderer dancing with time
Add a little bit of hope
With a little bit of courage
And a little bit of love
It takes two to tango
We live in a jungle
Emotions strive to be untangled
Destiny’s written in sand
The riddle lies unanswered
Those who seek shall find
But tonight
The fight’s on the dancefloor
Â
Come and dance with me
So I can feel like myself
Give me the strength to see
That boy in the mirror
Who will he turn out to be?
Come and dance with me
It’s hard to go forward
Without stepping backward
Roll the dice
I’ll be at your side
Take my hand and dance with me
Â
Come and dance with me
So I can feel like myself
Give me the strength to see
That boy in the mirror
Who will he turn out to be?
Come and dance with me
It’s hard to go forward
Without stepping backward
Roll the dice
I’ll be at your side
Take my hand and dance with me
Home - Lyrics
I’ve been dreaming of a feeling
I’ve been dreaming of a place to call home
Where I’m finally free and where I belong
So many places, so far gone
The many faces, of people, once known
Searching for a reason deep within
While my heart has to bear what my mind calls unknown
How can I move on if I can’t let go
I long for a place to carve my heart in stone
I long to close my eyes and feel finally at home
With an endless stream of memories
Keeping me awake
In a dream never begun
Sometimes I lose myself in thoughts
Of what could have been
Of what never was
Of where I have been, of everything I’ve lost
Easier said than done
Picking the pieces left behind
While hanging on a thread
Made of memories never had in a quest to belong
While my heart has to bear what my mind calls unknown
How can I stay, if it’s all I’ve ever known?
Â
I long for a place to carve my heart in stone
I long to close my eyes and feel finally at home
With an endless stream of memories
Keeping me awake, one last time
Â
I long for a place to carve my heart in stone
I long to close my eyes and feel finally at home
With an endless stream of memories
Keeping me awake
In a dream never begun
Kings of the Night - Lyrics
In a cycle, I have been living
Watching time pass
these emotions unforgiving
A kaleidoscope of fears and hopes
Troubles the mind and burdens my soul
Am I dreaming?
Or am I losing control
I will take your hand
We will drop these chains
We will run away
And heed the call of the night
We are not giving in
Yeah! Not tonight
We will dance in the rain
And howl at the sky
For to be free means to never die
Bound by midnight
We are the kings of the night
We are not giving in
This time we’ll make things right
Like a spark in the dark
We are ready to ignite
For to be free means to never die
Bound by midnight
We are the kings of the night
Eyes wide open
Heart in hand
Who I was isn’t who I am
A revelation, the feeling’s new
This town’s too small
It’s time to move on
We have been here for far too long
Forever Free
Under the moonlight a promise
From this moment right until the end
No more what ifs I won’t play pretend
Follow the sunset
Greet the stars in the sky
You will never know if you don’t try
A page turned over, this prologue’s over
A new beginning in disguise
What’s the point of starting over
Afraid to live
To feel
To try
We are not giving in
Yeah! Not tonight
We’ll dance in the rain
And howl at the sky
For to be free means to never die
Bound by midnight
We are the kings of the night
We are not giving in
This time we’ll make things right
Like a spark in the dark
We are ready to ignite
For to be free means to never die
Bound by midnight
We are the kings of the night
The Eye of the Storm - Lyrics
Oh, She’s Dark Haired
With black eyes
A look straight out of heaven
That can hypnotize
Oh, her gaze, and her smile
She took my hand and promised me
That we would break the spell
Run away, and live free
Because no wall is too high
If you aim for the sky
You will find that
Â
What you needed lies inside
What you wanted is
Right in front of your eyes
Let yourself go
Like thunder at night
Your words echo in my heart
Like lightning in the sky
Your light revealed the path
Like the wind, you elevate
As our lips gently brush
Our souls intertwine
I found love in the eye of the storm
Oh, when at her side
I feel like the world is a playground
We are ready to go and explore
In search for four letters
Buried in the depths of our soul
Oh Please help me
It is so tempting
She laughs as she gets in close
The room goes electric
When we touch
It is hard to stay in control
Two hearts beat as one
Bound each other
Until the end of time
Let yourself
Just let yourself
Just let yourself go
Â
Like thunder at night
Your words echo in my heart
Like lightning in the sky
Your light revealed the path
Like the wind, you elevate
As our lips gently brush
Our souls intertwine
I found love in the eye of the storm
The New Tomorrow - Lyrics
Staring into a funnel of empty and dark
Holding my heart from falling apart
Worn down from the path
Of chasing a star
Among many
In the night sky
Feeling as lost as one is
When about to be found
Half asleep at wheel
Stay on course
The objective is near
As the sights of all things given up
Grow smaller
In the mirror
I’ll raise my glass
To every tear ever shed
For every dream ever chased
In hopes of a new tomorrow
For every step ever made
And every dance ever had,
Dreaming of a new tomorrow
To every star that ever fell
And every wish ever made
In search of a new tomorrow
I found myself
I found a new tomorrow
Awake from the dream
My eyes are finally open
What if all things happened for a reason
No matter how good
Or how painful a role they played
Would we still be the same without
Every choice we ever made
I found my light, in the dark
Glowing ever so slightly
Like a phoenix, I rose
To find peace in my ashes
A new life, a chance to move on
I’ll raise my glass
Â
To every tear ever shed
For every dream ever chased
In hopes of a new tomorrow
For every step ever made
And every dance ever had,
Dreaming of a new tomorrow
To every star that ever fell
And every wish ever made
In search of a new tomorrow
I found myself
I found a new tomorrow
Sunset Surrender latest release
Lies, Lies, Lies!
In the shadows
Where illusions dance
A tapestry of deceit
A wicked trance
Words spoken softly
Feel like a caress
Your hands move slowly
A cruel finesse
As the sharp pointed edge
Pierces my flesh
Your eyes reveal
A sadistic mesh
A twisted pleasure
A sinister delight
In the darkness you revel
Feeding on my fright
Â
Lies, lies, lies!
In this twisted game
Lies, lies, lies!
It’s all the same
A haunting melody
My soul’s demise
In this cold embrace
My spirit dies
Â
Lies, lies, lies!
Lies, lies, lies!
Lies, lies, lies!
Â
Promises whispered
Like fragile glass
But they shatter into fragments
A broken past
Their echoes linger
Haunting my mind
A constant reminder
Of what I left behind
Â
Lies, lies, lies!
In this twisted game
Lies, lies, lies!
It’s all the same
A haunting melody
My soul’s demise
In this cold embrace
My spirit dies
Whispers of deceit
Staining my existence
Lies, lies, lies!
Suffocating my persistence
A dissonant symphony
Piercing through my core
In this relentless cycle
I’m left wanting more
Â
Lies, lies, lies!
Lies, lies, lies!
Lies, lies, lies!
