Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown Lyrics






Tell Me Who You Are Today

If I could change the way I feel
If I could make my body heal
Free from all I hear inside

All brought forward from my hand
A pagan sorrow my command
Here am I a lonely love
Falling now
Falling in

Come over
Listen to me

Tell me all you want to say
Tell me who you are today
Free from all I hear inside

Come over here
Listen to me

Come over here
Listen to me
Come over here... to me

Floating On A Moment

On the path with my restless curiosity
Beyond life
Before me
A passenger on no ordinary journey
It's one of a kind
Won't get left behind

I'm floating on a moment
Don't know how long
No one knows
No one can stay
All going to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)
All going, make no mistake

Without control
I'm heading towards a boundary
That divides us, reminds us
Travelling on a voyage where the living
They have never been
Have never seen

I'm floating on a moment
Don't know how long
No one knows
No one can stay
All going to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)
All going, make no mistake

All trying but can't escape
All going to nowhere
Too afraid to be free

Not that I don't want to return
Not that I don't want to return
(All going to nowhere, nowhere)
Oh, honestly
It's not that I don't want to return
(All going to nowhere, nowhere) it just reminds us
Not that I don't want to return
It just reminds us that all we have
All we have is here and now
(All going to nowhere, nowhere)
But all we have is here and now
(All going to nowhere, nowhere)
All we have is here and now
(All going to nowhere)
It just reminds us
All we have is here (all going to nowhere)

Burden Of Life

The summer breeze, the days were long
Meadow haze so callowly, those child eyes
I used to feel the feelings
Love that I once said I'd never rile

The burden of life... just won't leave us alone
And the times never right... when your trading the sun

All the love of generations
Generations gone for reasons, that I know
But all the times I've lost my way
Crept inside, tried not to sway
Like pebbles on the shore

The burden of life... just won't leave us alone
And the times never right... when we're trading the sun

So all the fire, the fear, the why
The wisdom why you want it now
No Answers... are there
No Answers... of why

Cos the burden of life just won't leave us alone
And the times never right when you're losing a soul

Lost Changes

Hey, you over there
Change your heart instead of stare
Feel alive, hold your own
Forever ends, you will grow old
You're gonna be

Love changes, things change
Is what changes things
Time changes
Life change
Is what changes things

Hey, you over there
Don't pretend you're unaware
Realise the tenderness
Appreciate the sweet caress
'Cause honеstly

Love changes, things change
Is what changеs things
Time changes
Life change
Is what changes things

We're all lost together
We're fooling each other
We try but we just can't explain
We took on a feeling
A moment, a gleaming
And said, "What's the game?"

'Cause love changes, things change
Is what changes things
And time changes
Life changes
Love changes things

And all that I want you to want me
The way that you used to
And all that I want is to love you
The way that I used to
And all that I want you to want me
The way that you used to
And all that I want is to love you
The way that I used to

Rewind

Now that we have had our fun
Time to recognise the damage done
Feeling the fall, of the beautiful
Opened our eyes and its begun

And the Wild has no more to give
Gone too deep
Gone too far to rewind

Too far to rewind

Empty with our possessions
And trouble is we still feel unfed
Hunting her down, sweet mother nature
Til nothing left if this goes on

And the wild has no more to give
Makes no sense
This place is out of control

And we all know whats coming
Gone too far

Too far to rewind

Reaching Out

You said you will, you said you won't
You can't tell if you don't
You stand alone on your own
Reaching out, holding on

Now you will but then you don't
You say you want to but now you won't
You stand alone on your own
Reaching out, holding on

Where's the love? Where's the feeling?
Where's the belief in the words we're breathing?
Why do wander away from me?

Don't need no other like I need you (Oh, I need you)
Always, I need you

I need your love
To silence all my shame
I need you always

The feeling of falling
The shadow's a warning
Wanting to quiet to tame this disorder
But round in a circle you go
Don't need no other like I need you
Always, I need-

I need your love to silence all my shame
I need you always
So please don't misunderstand
To silence all my shame

I need you always
I need you always
Always
Always
Always
Always

Oceans

I fake in the morning, a stake to relieve
I never noticed the pain I proceed
Cos my heart is tired and worn

Without any question, I tried to begin
Tried to ignore that I might never win
Cos my heart was tired and worn

But I ......
Will dive in the ocean
On the floor... I'll gather my pride
And I will seek to undress the answers
On my knees... I'll look evermore

Cos every time's taken, I'll never say
Fooled ovulation, but no babe in me
And my heart was tired and worn

Reality fails me, it takes me so close
I reach out over can't take anymore
Cos my heart was tired and worn

But I'll dive into the ocean
On the floor I'll gather my pride
And I'll feel the length of emotion
Underneath not afraid anymore
I can't hide from ever the answers
I'm lost in the tide just like heavens inside

For Sale

The charms of illusion they cut like a smile
Erosion of reason a path pathed to buy
Cos the dreams are for sale from afar

Smiling with white teeth the taste of ammonia
The needle delusion a choice made to fail
Cos the dreams are for sale from afar

Just ask yourself how would you like life to be
Just ask yourself would you choose love like me

If we don't stop now
Will we go to far
If we don't stop now
Will we go to far

We believe if we stitch it and cook it and rich it
We'll all numb the pain that we need to fulfil it

But the dreams are for sale from afar

Don't pretend that you want
What you don't want to give
What you keep when you sow
When you know you don't want it

Cos the dreams only for sale from afar

Just ask yourself how would you like life to be
Just ask yourself would you choose love like me

If we don't stop now
Will we go too far
If we don't stop now
Will we go too far

Beyond The Sun

If I had known where I'd begun
Would I still fear where I might end
If I had known you from the start
Would I still visit the place in the dark
The place in the dark

If I have spoken of a world I once was
Words that I noticed when we were apart
If I remembered a moment before
Would I of risen not felt so unsure

The lose of faith
Filled with doubt
No relief
Can be found...

Whispering Love

Leaves of our tree of life
Where the summer sun... always
Shines through... the trees of wisdom
Where the light is so pure... oh that summer sun
Moon time will linger... through the melody
Of life's... shortening, longing view

Oh whispering love
Come to me... when you can

Far from our conscious mind
Lie those fallow fields
Where open hearts ...will wander

Sweet whispering love
Come to me ... when you can
And they ... they will run
They will rise where they can
Where they know they are safe to go ...

Oh whispering love
Blow through my heart
When you can
