Letras: The Doorway

Aquí teneis las letras de las 15 canciones que forman parte del segundo disco de Zach Macko.
La canción homónima del disco tendrá bastantes fallos ya que la he sacado yo misma; y la voz tan particular de Zach que tanto me gusta, a la vez me impide entenderle muchas veces lo que canta.

01. PACK MY BAGS

Pack my bags
With the dreams I have
Leave the love
That I had
And find out if
Dreams and love can fall into one

02. SONG ABOUT A SONG

To all the bridges that burned
May they all be returned
But stronger than they were before

Because when the fighting is done
It don't matter who won
Just as we remember
What it was for

Because in the webs that we weave
Reflect the lives that we lead
But who says that we cannot change
The plot half way through
Do what you have to do
Say if it's rain
Well then it's going to rain

And paint your eyes black
With the clothes to match
If that's what you gotta do

To make the walls dissappear
Growing stronger each year
Keeping us from what we gotta do
'Cause going means knowing
And staying means much more to lose

Because in shelters based on love
Keep us safe from above
When words get thrown in your way
So give me your best shot
It won't compare to what we've got
Burn the maps
And blaze your own way

Because we all have regrets
Some that we'll never forget
Yeah I'm just gonna leave it at that
Because consiquences will show you
The next time what to do
If you ever choose to go back

So paint your eyes black
With the clothes to match
If thats what you gotta do

To make the walls dissappear
Growing stronger each year
Keeping us from what we gotta do
'Cause going means knowing
And staying means much more to lose

And good friends make amends with what is left to mend
And the signals and signs that were never sent
Put them where they were meant to be
So when you get there...
Waiting for you will be me

Waiting for you will be me (x3)

03. DECEMBER

When you're lost
And you're scared
And you feel like nobody understands what you're going through
Oh, I will be there for you

If the one
Who you're with
Doesn't understand how fuckin' lucky he is
Oh, I will be there for you

All of these thoughts
Racin' through my head
As I lay awake
Inside your bed
With my heart
That might beat out of my chest

Just know that there
Will always be
A place for you
Inside of me
Because you never know what tomorrow might bring

So if the fire burns out
And you're left with smoke
Just coming out of your mouth
Ohh, I will be there for you

If the world
You planned on
One day turns from perfect, to good, to gone
Ohh, I will be there for you

Fireworks and butterflies
And knees that shake with waiting eyes
Hoping for the right words and the right time

If you could see yourself
Through these eyes
Then you'd realize
It's always been you
The one thing on my mind

So if you're lost
And you're scared
And you feel like nobody understands what your going through
ohh, I will be there for you

04. TAKE IT EASY

He's just hoping that he gets some
Before the credits roll
And the night's done
Gotta walk the line between a good time
And a hit and run

She is fixing up her makeup
Waiting for her friends to come pick her up
To the backyards
And warm beers
Ceilings made of stars

On the way she takes the back roads
Smoke is coming out of her windows
On the radio singing out live, love, and learn to let go

Cheers to the good life in a small town
Raise your cups and throw your drinks down
And drink to the day that we find a road
That leads us out of here

So take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Ahh yeah

So take it easy
Take it easy
Just don't worry
No, no more

At a dive just down from my place
Everyone is getting shitfaced
All the bad things that live inside will die
And let love take there place

Everyones jumping in at midnight
Lit by fireflies and moonlight
Look her in the eyes and kiss her when
The moment's right

And she wakes up in last night's makeup
With her clothes half on the floor
She barley knows the guy she's next to
Who she met the night before

So just smile because it's alright
You gotta go out and live your life
Gonna make mistakes
The battle scars show us who we are

And watch the sunrise
On the inside
At the bottom of your heart
They were made to break
Give and take
Find the missing parts
Ohh if there's an end
Then it will be followed by a
Start

So take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Ahh yeah

So take it easy
Take it easy
Just don't worry
No, no more

05. WATERFALL

Time will tell
If it's right or wrong
It's the hope that I'm
Still hanging on

Our clothes were spread across the lawn
As a song that played
Was the only thing we had on

You and I are more
Than just a kiss
I've waited so long
For a chance like this
Close as it gets
To perfect
There is no one that I would rather be with

Becasue when we are together
Feels like a waterfall
Even when we weren't together
I still loved you all along

We made out until the sun came up
Because tonight a night, is not enough
Two girls yelled out
Are they hooking up?
Girl I don't care
I don't give a fuck

Why did we ever wait
Wait so long
'Cause I've been waiting here all along
So be my 3am girlfriend
And we'll figure it out when the summer ends

'Cause when we are together
Feels like a waterfall
Even when we weren't together
I still loved you all along

Nothing can compare
To the first time
Oh the first time
And love is unfair
Can't get you off of my mind

When we are together
Feels like a waterfall
Even when we weren't together
I still loved you all along

06. TIP OF MY TONGUE

Putting the pieces back where they belong
Picking up from where we last left off
In the 4 years since I've seen your face
I've been trying to find someone to take your place

A part of me feels that's so long ago
A part of me is still letting you go
'Cause time heals
But it's taking so long
And you've come back when I've finally moved on

Ohh but in the end
Everything that we've been through
You are what I compare love to
Defenses I give off
Will all come undone
For me you've always been the one
The words are here
They are still waiting on
The tip of my tongue

Now the ghost from my past reappears
On 2 hands I can count the years
There was me saying please please don't go
With 3 words I never let you know

You say the past is the past
Let it be
But that's easier for you than me
But I guess sometimes it's for the best
That some loves should be laid to rest

Ohh in the end
Everything that we've been through
You are what I compare love to
Defenses I give off
Will all come undone
For me you've always been the one
The words are here
They are still waiting on
The tip of my tongue

And the things we never say
Will come back to haunt you someday
You never know maybe
They were feeling the same way

Oh say what's on your mind
Because it might be the last time
Before they walk out of the door
Out the door

Singles get mixed
Changes get missed
So don't miss your moment
Don't let it get away
Away

07. 2ND AVENUE

In a cab on 2nd Avenue
Passed the place where I first met you
Where we sat outside and drank into the night

The Empire State Building is turnin off its lights
Where we once stood, where I said that I
Loved you more than any love that ever
Has come before

I never thought we'd ever say goodbye
I'd like to think that fate will set things right
Because the writings on the wall
And through it all you're still the only one
That I'm still thinkin of
My one true love

We passed the park where we would walk
Sit for hours, laugh and talk
About how people take themselves so seriously
The cab dropped me off
Where we used to live
Things are really not that different
Because the names still remain in the sidewalk
Yeah I guess some things stay the same

I never though we'd ever say goodbye
I'd like to think that fate will set things right
Because the writings on the wall
And through it all you're still the only one
That I'm still thinking of
My one true love

Never though we'd ever say goodbye
I'd like to think that fate will set things right
Because the writings on the wall
And through it all you're still the only one
That I'm thinking of
My one true love

08. CHANGE

Break every bone inside of me
Build me back so I can be
Gin to start over again
Let there be nothing left
Of this skin I'm in

From here I will go alone
The path is unknown
To the darkest place
That I have ever seen
Is this the bed that I have made
Set the price and let me pay
Because after darkest nights
Let there be

Lights that come to lead your way
Through the darkest parts
A heart can take
I will sleep inside this bed I've made
Because the price of life
Has now been paid

So and I fall asleep
Let me feel no pain
If you want to change
Then change

Parachute into the sky
On my way down
Someone pulled my line
And as I float back down
Everything looks different now
No postcards where I was
To send the ones I love

And I wake with the sunrise
I see it through different eyes
Watch before the dawn
Let there be

Lights that come to lead your way
Through the darkest parts
A heart can take
I will sleep inside this bed I've made
Because the price of life
Has now been paid

So and I fall asleep
Let me feel no pain
If you want to change
Then change

Break every bone inside of me so I can be
Let there be nothing left of me
So I will wake with the sunrise with different eyes
Because after all the darkest nights
Let there be lights

On your way down
Before you hit the ground
If you want to change
Then change

09. LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE

Well I used to be scared
Of facing my fears out there
And I used to hide away
Scared of the things people might say
And I lay awake in bed
Going over the things I wish I said
And I used to push away
Almost everything

But now I see
Now I change
Now I feel
That it's ok
To open up
And let go of
Cut the ties
Say goodbye

So breathe in and begin
To start over again
Take down the photographs
Taken all in the past
Throw away soveniers
Collected through the years
About time to set things right so

Treat this like
The last day of your life
Don't ever regret
Things you should have said
And how things could have been

Sleep outside tonight
Under stars and sky
I've cleared my mind
Of all the things I've kept inside
And all those secrets that I kept
I gave to you before I left
Because I don't need to pretend
I've passed your tests

Now I see
Now I change
Now I feel
That it's ok
To open up
Let go of
Cut the ties
Say goodbye

So breathe in and begin
To start over again
Take down the photographs
Taken all in the past
Throw away soveniers
Collected through the years
About time that we set things right so

Treat this like
The last day of your life
Don't ever regret
Things you should have said
And how thing could have been

I play things back
In my mind
Over and over again
I don't wanna find
It was wasted time
If not now
Then tell me when
Will you

Treat this like
The last day of your life
Don't ever regret
Things you should have said
And how things could have been (x2)

10. NYC

It's gonna be hard when you're gone
And you move on
I kind of like how things were always with her
I guess that proves that I'm so afraid to fall
Fall in love with you
Fall in love with you
So afraid to fall in love with you

If I could see what she sees would she love me
Memories from my past never did last
I guess that proves that I'm so afraid to fall
Fall in love with you
Fall in love with you
So afraid to fall in love with you

So afraid to fall in love with you

11. GOODNIGHT NEW YORK

So goodnight New York I hope you sleep well
I promise to keep secrets I won't tell anyone
So get some sleep before the sun comes

In a tree lined street town
We made the best of what's around
Where if taught us to love
Taught us to fight
Taught us to drink
So not to think
And stay up all night

But we are ready to leave
All that we've known
The one place that we've ever called home
So goodbye back yards
And late night guitars
Making out in the back
Of hand me down cars

Hooded sweat shirt walks
And late night talks
Drinking in your room
With the lights off
Now we are ready to leave
All that we've known
So turn the lights on yeah

So goodbye Jersey
I'm sorry we can't stay
But I promise to come back to you, oh someday
You taught us well
But we are making our own way
Gonna get our little name on the bright lights
Big lights on Broadway

So to NYC, I know you don't sleep
With the symponthy of sound
Horns play off the beat
Buildings scrape the sky that all fall in line
Like a chorus played by church bells and chimes

Subways they hum
And fill the base line
Walking feet on the street
Keep it all in time
You gotta keep up
Or you're gonna get
Left behind

The traffic lights provide
The lights show
Where the only stars you see
Live down below
Sidewalks are used as long runways
Checking yourself out in store window pains
Steam off the street
Floats on concrete
As the lights go down
Sitting in front row seats
You and me
Will you be there

So goodbye Jersey
I'm sorry I can't stay
But I promise to come back to you, oh someday
You taught us well
But we are making our own way
Gonna get our little names on the bright lights
Big lights on Broadway

And summer nights in your apartment
And stories and reminders of where we've been
On the wall read the story of it all
The pictures help to fill the blanks in
So come on, yell it out
Goodnight New York

Well, goodnight New York

So goodbye Jersey
I'm sorry I can't stay
But I promise to come back to you, oh someday
You taught us well
But we are making our own way
Gonna get our little names on the brights lights
Big lights on Broadway

So goodnight New York I hope you sleep well
I promise to keep secrets I won't tell anyone
So get some sleep before the sun comes

So go out there and face your fears
Don't worry I'll still be here to catch your tears
In the light, and the love
That we set ourselves up for life and love
Goodnight New York

12. WORLD

Trapped inside your own mind
You try to smile but it just lies
Because everything makes no sense now
Numb from the pain and you don't know how

Everything went so wrong
Your road stopped but she kept on
So where do you go from here
Now that your world has
Disappeared

When your world crashed down
And you feel like there's no way out
When your world crashed down
Into pieces on the ground (x2)

And everyone says you'll be ok
She was no good for you anyways
But you don't care
All you want is her
Which makes the fear
So much worse

Some things you'll never get over
They'll always be there forever
You look around and all you see
Are reminders of how good it used to be

When your world crashed down
And you feel like there's no way out
When your world crashed down
Into pieces on the ground (x2)

No better time
To change your life
Than right now
Oh right now baby (x4)

13. LAST CIGARETTE

Give me
One more cigarette
She said it will be
The last thing that will burn
Here
Ever again

14. IN THE GROUND

Forever is forever
In the, in the
In the ground
In the ground

Picture a beach
Instead of an ocean
All there is sand and explosions

Picture a boy that has to do whatever you say
As he watches his friends get blown away
Picture a girl back home waitin' for the phone to ring
To hear her boyfriend is ok

Man I feel sometimes
We get trapped in
Our lives so much
That we forget to love
Don't let them die
Ohh just to find
It was wasting time

Picture all your nightmares and fears 'coz they're all here
And you just can't close your eyes or cover your ears
Picture a man that can take a mother's hand
And tell her he's fighting for what we stand for

Picture what could have been
If he didn't even let it begin
If he showed up at my door man
I still wouldn't let him in
Are there consequences for the chances that he takes
'Cause they are the ones that are
Paying for his mistakes

Sometimes
We get trapped in
Our lives so much
That we forget
To love
Don't let them die
Ohh just to find they were wasting their time
Time, time, time

Smoke rises up and then it disappears
It seems the only way to get out of here
I mean the man, isn't he a father
Would he want his daughters to see what they've seen
So don't say it will be ok
When they are so far away

Wasting time
Wasting time

All the lies that have been told
You planned out how they would be sold
You put more into your disguise
Instead of the ones who gave their lives
So all the prayers can't help you now
Because the ones that are now in the ground
Will be waiting for you at the gates
Waiting for you to meet your
Maker
Forever is forever, forever

When it all comes down
They will be waiting for you in the ground
In the ground
In the ground

15. THE DOORWAY

Always had this fascination with words on the outside
And don't mean like what happens to us when we die
But instead the other way see the light
Wether how big or small it is in sizes
There's even in our darkest hours
We can still find the way
Through the light trhough the dark
To the break of day
This one thing on fire would be the choice we would make
Wait of the world the sides of the states
I still have no clue I still work in a ???
Ohh to you

And I'm still starting to learn that it's not quite well
But the world that lead you there only time will tell how far
And maybe it's all planned out maybe it's all written down somewhere
That tells the story in the start and the end of everyone but for me
I don't think that we all write our own book
The storylines that ??? those in ??? oh what to was
And love is not a document
Mend the wounds before you move on
Mend the wounds before you move on

Between the hell and high water
Between a mother and own born daugther
The lighting strike the highest point
The thunder steal the breath out of my mouth
You leave the ??? can come around
?????????
Yeah over in

Broken hearts restart and through the consequences
For what it represents is a second chance to make out
To find out what it all means
Through the broken mirrors bad luck for seven years
And things are not always as they appear
Because in mirrors and smoke we cloud our heads ???
Trying to keep the shit afloat
Lit down your arms tonight
Ooh and let them shine, let them shine
In the moonlight and toast to the dawn
Where all the bad things have gone
And mend the wounds before you move on

Life that lead the way
Life that lead the way

We will turn over the hour glass and reverse the past
Make out peace with God, rights for the ???
Through the lighting and the fire and the thunder hearts
May it provide the spark to let the broken hearts restart
Let the broken hearts restart
May it provide the spark to let the broken hearts restart
