James Blunt - Moon Landing Lyrics






Face The Sun

Yes, this love's not good enough.
It's time to let it go.
Our weary hearts just fall apart.
I feel it in my bones.

And God knows that it's hard to find the one,
But in time all the flowers turn to face the sun.

Silently, just walk with me,
Like any other day.
No sad goodbyes, no tears, no lies,
Just go our separate ways.

And God knows that it's hard to find the one.
But in time all the flowers.
Yes, in time all the flowers turn to face the sun.

And God knows that it's hard to find the one.
But in time all the flowers turn to face the sun.

Satellites

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

She's another victim of life, we've come to know,
Technology, celebrity, all the things you cannot hold
She's from a long lost tribe looking for the light
Or a friend to hold her hand
She's doing the best she can

Seems that everyone we knows is
Out there waiting by a phone
Wondering why they feel alone
In this life

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

All her memories have been
Experienced through
High speed on a video screen
That's all she ever knew
Did you know none of it's real if you can't feel
The beating of someone's heart
Don't leave yourself in the dark

Seems that everyone we knows is
Out there waiting by a phone
Wondering why they feel alone
In this life

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

Are we satellites?
Are we satellites?

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

Bonfire Heart

Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier, loyal 'til you die
And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time
I've been putting out fires all my life
Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burned
And today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder, strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder, no one looks you in the eye
But I've been looking at you for a long, long time
Just tryna break through, tryna make you mine
Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burned
Well, today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
You light the spark

People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don't
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Heart To Heart

There are times when I don't know where I stand (oh, sometimes)
You make me feel like I'm a boy and not a man (oh, sometimes)
There are times when you don't give me a smile (oh, sometimes)
I lie awake at night and worry for a while (oh, oh)

It's OK 'cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day and
I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

There are times when I cry 'cause you shed no tears (oh, sometimes)
Your mind's so far away but your body's right here (oh, sometimes)
There are times when I just walked out your door (oh, sometimes)
And thought I'd never get to see you anymore (oh, oh)

It's OK 'cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day
And I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

Woah... woah...
Oh sometimes
Woah... woah...

Wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall

Miss America

Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain
Like the liquor in the bottle we watched you slip away
And I feel like if I know you through the buzz of a song
Always surrounded but alone

But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
And as you fall apart we just call it odd
Was it so hard to breathe

Was that picture in the paper not the face you recognize
Did the make-up never make up for the pain behind your eyes
And I feel as if I know you when you're on my silver screen
But I don't know the dark places that you've been

But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
And as you fall apart we just call it odd
Was it so hard to breathe

Does another voice sing in heaven's choir tonight
To fill the silence left behind
And I don't know what goes on in your mind
I'm sure it's enough to make me cry

Someday we'll find you'll live forever

No goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
And as you fall apart we just call it odd
Was it so hard to breathe

The Only One

Did all the words I never said
Hurt as bad as those I did?
You know I never even cared not before you.
If I could go and turn back time,
If I could only press rewind
I would bleed this heart of mine
Just to show you

I'll be the first to say I'm sorry,
The first to say I'm stupid
Why do I always take it there?
Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to
Meet me at the altar?
And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you all my secrets,
All my fears, I've let go.
And it's flawless,
You are the only one,
You are the only one,
Don't you know,
Don't you know?

Am I fading from your mind
Has the distance blurred the lines?
They say all things heal with time
But it's untrue
I will linger on every word
I know it's more than I deserve
Chances are I'll make it worse,
But I need to

Tell you
Tell you that I'm sorry,
Tell you that I'm stupid,
Why do I always take it there?
Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to
Meet me at the altar?
And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you all my secrets,
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless,
You are the only one,
You are the only one,
Don't you know?

Don't you know,
That the hardest part's not having you to hold?
Don't you know
This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go?

And I told you all my secrets,
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless,
You are the only one,
You are the only one,
Don't you know?

Sun On Sunday

A silent tear, an empty smile,
So insincerely, but so gently in denial.
And me the thief, so selfishly,
All the moments meant for you, I made them mine.

How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside?
Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right!
'Cause there'll be no sun on Sunday,
No reason for words to rhyme
'Cause if you're bleeding, so am I.

A wishful look, a hesitate,
You're hoping I will notice that you're not OK.
And me the fool; you turn away
It's only then I feel the weight of my mistakes.

How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside?
Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right.
'Cause there'll be no sun on Sunday
No reason for words to rhyme
'Cause if you're bleeding, so am I.

And if I cut you, if I bruise you, then the scars are always mine.
Cause I love you so to lose you would be worse than if I died.

How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside?
Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right.
'Cause there'll be no sun on Sunday
No reason for words to rhyme
'Cause if you're bleeding, so am I.

Bones

I have never been a beautiful boy
Never liked the sound of my own voice
I wasn't cool when I was in my teens
I never slept but I did have dreams
As I step out in this big old world
Seven billion just trying to cope and
Everyone of us someday will die
But today I never felt more alive

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Running through your bones
Running through your bones
Yeah you set my heart on fire
And it's all hot wired to my bones

I can count all the things I fear
I close my eyes but they don't disappear
If there's a god then there's a guarantee
But if there's not it's just you and me

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Running through your bones
Running through your bones
Yeah you set my heart on fire
And it's all hot wired to my bones

So kiss me before the sun falls down
Run before your legs give way
Swallow it until you drown

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Running through your bones
Running through your bones
Yeah you set my heart on fire and
And it's all hot wired to my bones
Running through my bones
Yeah you set my heart on fire
And it's all hot wired to my bones
Running through my bones
Running through my bones

Always Hate Me

Oh God it hurt the moment that I saw you
Was someone else the one that you belonged to
I never thought I'd drown in my shallow heart
I'd like to say the things I never used to
But come today they won't ever be useful
I never learned to use my shallow heart

I I I, I never meant to hurt you,
It's just something I do,
I guess it's not a good excuse.

And she will always hate me, no matter what I say.
And there is no mistaking, the love is gone.
Yea she will always hate me, she said "you lost me baby"
No matter what I say, the love is gone.

Looking back I guess I'm holding on to
The good we had but I know that it's wrong too
'Cause in the end she's never gonna hold my heart
And now she knows, she doesn't wanna know me
I'm not supposed to be the one who's lonely
I never thought that she could have a cold cold heart.

I I I, I never meant to hurt you,
It's just something I do,
I guess it's not a good excuse.

And she will always hate me, no matter what I say.
And there is no mistaking, the love is gone.
Yea she will always hate me, she said "you lost me baby"
No matter what I say, the love is gone.

I I I, I never meant to hurt you,
It's just something I do,
I guess it's not a good excuse.

And she will always hate me, no matter what I say.
And there is no mistaking, the love is gone.
Yea she will always hate me, she said "you lost me baby"
No matter what I say, the love is gone.

Postcards

Sunday sitting on your back porch
And I came on with a couple of chords
And I played for you.
You let me keep you entertained
With stories I exaggerate
That you know aren't true
And as you sit there making daisy chains
And I throw in a hand grenade
And tell you how it is I really feel for you.

I'm sending postcards from my heart
Your love for a postmark and then,
You know that you make me feel like
We've been caught like kids in the school yard again.
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that
I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I've said
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head.

We chased the sun 'til it got away
On a bicycle that your daddy made
But not made for two
Then we sat out on your rocking chair
You with a flower in your hair
That I found for you
But then Monday always comes around
And it's sad cause I can't see you now
Want you to know you're always in my head

I'm sending postcards from my heart
Your love for a postmark and then,
You know that you make me feel like
We've been caught like kids in the school yard again.
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that
I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I've said
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head.

You know sometimes it's hard to see
Or say the words that torture me
But inside I know exactly how I feel
The things that I can't say out loud
I'll find a place to write it down
I hope that they will find you in the end

I'm sending postcards from my heart
Your love for a postmark and then,
You know that you make me feel like
We've been caught like kids in the school yard again.
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that
I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I've said
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head.

Know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh
All the things I want you to know.

Blue On Blue

How come you don't wanna see me?
How come you've gone and left me alone?
How come you took a slow boat to China?
What can I do if I can't get through to you?
Baby blue on blue

I want you more than I ever wanted,
Than I ever needed
Anyone I ever knew.
I love you more than ever,
Thought that I will never feel the way that I do.

How long you gonna me leave me here standing?
How long till you're gonna make up your mind?
How long is your balloon ride to nowhere?
What can I do if I can't be there with you?
Baby blue on blue.

I want you more than I ever wanted,
Than I ever needed
Anyone I ever knew.
I love you more than ever,
Thought that I will never feel the way that I do.

I'm coming under fire.
I'm coming under fire.
I'm coming under fire.
I'm coming under fire.

I'm coming under fire.
I'm coming under fire.
I'm coming under fire.
I'm coming under fire.
Baby blue on blue.
