Kodaline - Coming Up For Air Album Lyrics

Honest

We don't communicate can you not say what's on your mind?
And I see it every day you hide the truth behind your eyes.
Honestly, there's no need for you to hide.
Talk to me, can't you see? I'm on your side.

Honest, honest.
Say what it is you're trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that walks away.
Is it in you to be honest? Honest.
Is it in you to be honest?

I still remember the day we met I was hanging on your every word.
I didn't think I would ever let somebody see into my world.
Honestly, can't you see? I'm on your side.

Say what it is you're trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that's walking away.
Is it in you to be honest? Honest.
Is it in you to be honest?

Is it all in my head or was it something I said?
Because I'm trying to forgive, and now I'm trying to forget,
You're telling me all of this, no more hearing of it,
It was all just a lie, was it all just a lie?
Now I'm walking away cause everything that you say
All that you ever tell to me is lies, lies.

Honest, honest. Is it in you to be honest?
Say what it is you're trying to say,
But if you lie to me again.
I'll be the one that walks away.
Is it in you to be honest?
Honest. Is it in you to be honest?
Is it in you to be honest?

The One

Tell me
Tell me that you want me
And I'll be your completely
For better or for worse

I know
We'll have our disagreements
Be fighting for no reason
I wouldn't change it for the world

'Cause I know
The first day that I met you
I was never gonna let you
Let you slip away

And I
Still remember feeling nervous
Trying to find the words to
Get you here today

'Cause you make my heart feel like it's summer
When the rain is pouring down
You make my whole world feel so right when it's wrong
That's why I know you are the one
That's how I know you are the one

In life
It's easy to get scared oh
But with you I am prepared for
What has yet to come

'Cause our two
Hearts will make it easy
Joining up the pieces
Together making life

'Cause you make my heart feel like it's summer
When the rain is pouring down
You make my whole world feel so right when it's wrong
That's why I know you are the one
That's how I know you are the one

When we are together you make me feel like my mind is free and my dreams are reachable
Woah
You know I never ever believed in love, I believed one day you were gonna come along

Free me

'Cause you make my heart feel like it's summer
When the rain is pouring down
You make my whole world feel so right when it's wrong

That's why I know you are the one [x4]

Autopilot

I'm trying to connect with you
To see the world the way you do
Try 'n' understand what's in your head
I'm hearing what you said

'Cause I wanted to say
When I see you this way
Don't ever let it break your heart
I'll go back to the start
I'll watch you fall apart

Feels like an empty space
You don't enjoy the taste
I just need a place to hide
Somewhere to make you right

If this isn't what you want
Head back to your own haunt
And you'll find a missing piece
Or just a big relief

Maybe you lost control
Fallen into a hole
The way that it was before
It's all that you're looking for

You just need to take a step back
This autopilot kicking in
You're feeling like you'll never win
Hey maybe I can help you out
Don't fall into your doubt
I hear you screaming out

Feels like an empty space
You don't enjoy the taste
I just need a place to hide
Somewhere to make you right

If this isn't what you want
Head back to your own haunt
And you'll find the missing piece
Not just a big relief

Maybe you lost control
Fallen into a hole
The way that it was before
It's all that you're looking for

A lover is all you need
Someone that you can read
Day in and day out
Means this one is all, all about

[Choir:]
Somebody
You need
[x4]

Feels like an empty space
You don't enjoy the taste
I just need a place to hide
Somewhere to make you right

[Steve:]
If this isn't what you want
Head back to your own haunt
And you'll find the missing piece
[Choir:]
Somebody that you need

Somebody
You need
[x6]

Human Again

I don't even recognize when I look into your eyes,
All I can ever see, is trouble hanging over me.
Trouble , trouble, trouble hanging over me.
Trouble, trouble, trouble is all I ever see.

I got a pain in my heart and a pain in my chest, I wanna be human again.
I got a pain in my head, and I'm losing my breath, I wanna be human again.
Human Again, Human Again, Human Again, Human Again.
I wanna be human again.

I can feel it in my bones, I don't wanna die alone.
When I all ever get is rain, help me see the sun again.
I can see the change in me, makes me feel alive again.

I got a pain in my heart and a pain in my chest, I wanna be human again.
I got a pain in my head, and I'm losing my breath, I wanna be human again.
Human Again, Human Again, Human Again, Human Again.
I wanna be human again.

Look, I am finally lucky I'm trying to find and I know there's a light in the dark.
Open your eyes to the beauty and settle your body, your soul and your heart.

I wanna feel human, I wanna be human.
Human again, what a beautiful feeling.
Human again, I'm coming alive.
Human again, I wanna be human, I wanna be human again

I got a pain in my heart and a pain in my chest, I wanna be human again
I got a pain in my head, and I'm losing my breath, I wanna be human again.

Unclear

I am trying to learn and I'm dying to know
When to move on and when to let it go
A curious feeling no one can explain
I just don't know if I'll risk it again

When the futures so unsure
When the futures so unclear

So you swallow your heart and you swallow your pride
You gotta be tough if you wanna survive
They'll chew up and they'll eat you alive
You shouldn't give up on the dreams in your mind

When the futures so unsure
When the futures so unclear
When the futures so unsure
When the futures so unclear

We walk, we walk on
Our time, our time will come
We walk, we walk on
Our time

When the futures so unsure (when the future is so unsure)
When the futures so unclear (when the futures is so unclear)
When the futures so unsure
When the futures so unclear

Coming Alive

You're the clearest sky in the darkest weather
There was a big rain cloud hanging over me
You came along like a lightning bolt from heaven
Then you stole my heart and you set me free

You can't hide the feeling
Yeah you make it right
I'm coming alive

From the morning sun to the midnight hour
From the break of day to the dark of night
You're in my head and my heart and it feels much better
Yeah it feels so good and it feels so right

You can't hide the feeling
Through the days and the nights
Then I might be dreaming
We've got time on our side

(I'm coming alive)

In the clearest sky and the darkest weather
There was a big black cloud hanging over me
You came along like a lightning bolt from heaven
Then you stole my heart and you set me free

You can't hide the feeling
It feels so right
(I'm coming alive)

Lost

Take me away make it all better
If not for a day then maybe forever
Is it all in my head cause it's getting harder
But there's something you said that I never thought of

Cause we are ordinary people beautiful as we are
We can still get lost, lost

Lost
Lost
We are lost
We are lost

Maybe today it'll get better
I hear what you say we're in this together
Now I'm starting to see
Hoping and praying
We'll never win, win without playing

Cause we are ordinary people beautiful as we are
We can still get lost, lost

Lost
We still get lost
It's easy to get lost
We are lost
It's easy to get lost

We are ordinary people, we are lost
Ordinary people
We are ordinary people, we are lost
Lost
Lost

Ready

You tell me that you're ready but you just don't know
My eyes are getting heavy and it's starting to show
I'd never seen it coming, never seen a thing
Maybe I'll get through it if it's coming to me

'Cause I've been so unlucky I don't know what to say
I'm running out of money, I've been wasting away
I'd never seen it coming, never seen a thing
Maybe I'll get through it if it's coming to me

We fall (We fall down)
If you fall (We fall down)
If you fall down hard I'll be ready to crawl

And

I'm ready
I'm ready for it [x3]
All

Look me in the eye when I am talking to you
It's easy to get nervous I've been feeling it too
Yeah it's kinda crazy
Yeah it's kinda dumb
Never let the pressure overpower the fun

Yeah I'm sure your parents might be saying it to you
Follow what you love and you will love what you do
Never let the pressure tell you that you're not
Capable of being everything that you want

We fall (We fall down)
If you fall (We fall down)
If you fall down hard I'll be ready to crawl

And

I'm ready
I'm ready for it [x3]
All
[repeat]

I'm ready
I'm ready for it [x3]
All
[repeat]

Look me in the eye when I am talking to you
It's easy to get nervous I've been feeling it too
Yeah it's kinda crazy
Yeah it's kinda dumb
Never let the pressure overpower the fun

'Cause

I'm ready
I'm ready for it [x3]
All

Better

Am I wasting my time?
Am I losing my mind for better or for worse?
Cause it doesn't feel right
No it doesn't feel right

Does it make you feel better?
Cause it's making me worse
Does it make you feel better?
Cause it's making me hurt
Does it make you feel good?
When I'm falling apart?
Does it make you feel good?

And is it all in my head
Or was it something I said?
Somewhere in between
Cause I've got my regrets
And I'm feeling like death
You don't see what I see

Does it make you feel better?
Cause it's making me worse
Does it make you feel better?
Cause it's making me hurt
Does it make you feel good?
When I'm falling apart?
Does it make you feel good? [x2]

Everything Works Out In The End

I never seen it coming
I couldn't read the signs
But I know that it means nothing
Cause you are always on my mind
I got tricked into believing
You were the only one for me
But the heart can be deceiving
And I was just too young to see

They told me
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end

You got me treading on the water
Because I've never learned to swim
And now that it's all over
I better learn to start again

They told me
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end

Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end
Everything works out in the end

Play The Game

Oh my world is turning inside out
Say I'm crying breaking up inside
See my heart is sinking to my knees
Tell me brother what is it you need?

I don't wana be a pretender
I just wanna be me

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Oh you're blaming everybody else
Stop complaining and do it for yourself
Feed your body, your spirit and your mind
Oh my brother just enjoy the ride

I will never be a pretender
I'm just gonna be me

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Everybody's got a story to tell
When you're looking up at heaven but you're stuck in hell, come on
You gotta play, play the game

Play the game

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Play the game
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Play the game
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Love Will Set You Free

I'm sure you're probably busy getting on with your new life
So far away from
So far away from

When everything we used to say was wrong is now alright
Where has the time gone
Where has the time gone

If you're ever feeling lonely
If you're ever feeling down
You should know you're not the only one 'cause I feel it with you now
When the world is on your shoulders and you're falling to your knees
Oh please
You know love will set you free

I took a long and lonely walk up to an empty house
That's where I've come from
Where have you come from

The more I live, the more I know, I've got to live without
This ain't no sad song
Life has to go on

If you're ever feeling lonely
If you're ever feeling down
You should know you're not the only one 'cause I feel it with you now
When the world is on your shoulders and you're falling to your knees
Oh please
You know love will set you free

Ooh
You know love will set you free [x6]

Love will set you free
Ooh
Love will set you free

If you're ever feeling lonely
If you're ever feeling down
You should know you're not the only one 'cause I feel it with you now
When the world is on your shoulders and you're falling to your knees
Oh please
You know love will set you free
Love will set you free

Caught In The Middle

Can you see me below the clouds?
Cause I really feel like I could use you now
Watching over from up above
I can feel you in my heart and in my blood
Where did you go? Where have you gone?
When it's all over do we go on?
I make believe you're still around
It's like we're floating high above the clouds

I'm just caught in the middle waiting for you every night
I wish you would change your mind
Time is like a bubble anytime it's gonna blow
And it's over before you know
Before you know

Disappointments can wear you down
But life goes on and the world keeps spinning around
So be good and appreciate
The life you live is a life you can't replace

I'm just caught in the middle waiting for you every night
I wish you would change your mind
Time is like a bubble anytime it's gonna blow
And it's over before you know
Before you know

Any other second I try to make it better
Try to never leave me alone
I wanna see you now
While I'm breathing I'm wide awake and dreaming
And now you're starting to show
I really want you to know

I'm just caught, I'm just caught
I'm just caught in the middle waiting for you every night
I wish you would change your mind
Time is like a bubble anytime it's gonna blow
And it's over before you know
I really want you to know

War

There's a war between my head and my heart
And I don't know which side to take
You made your home inside the dowry on my head
You know my heart was yours to break

And people try and calm me down
But I can never hear a sound
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa
Whoa-a-whoa-ooo-o
Yeah

There are sirens screaming out behind my eyes
I hide 'em away 'cause I'm ashamed
Or maybe I'm just too shy to just speak up
Or I'm afraid of what you might say

And people try and calm me down (it can only get better)
But I can never hear a sound (but you wish you never met her)
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa
Whoa-a-whoa-who
Yeah

Oh
Life
It's just the way it is
Yeah
Way it always was
And it's all right

Oh
Life
It's just the way it is
Yeah.
Way it always was
And it's all right

And people try and calm me down (it can only get better)
But I can never hear a sound (but you wish you never met her)
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa

Whoa-a-whoa-ooo-o

And there's a war between my head and my heart
And I don't know which side to take

Moving On

I met you on the corner of the street
I smiled before I even heard you speak
I can accept we're growing older but I guess that's just the way it has to be
I wondered how you still remembered me
I heard you settled down and that you married happily
Do you remember when I told you that I'd love you to the bottom of the sea?
Yeah I know I know it's over but I guess that's just the way it has to be

Sometime in the future maybe we can get together, maybe share a drink and talk awhile
And reminisce about the days when we were still together
Maybe somewhere further down the line
And I will meet you there
Sometime in the future we can share our stories
When we won't care about all of our mistakes, our failures, and our glories
But until that day comes along I'll keep on moving on. I'll keep on moving on

It's funny how but it still bothers me
I know it's been so long but I did not expect to see oh how beautiful you are
I guess that all that time apart has done you well
But hey I wish you all the best and maybe someday we might even meet again

Sometime in the future maybe we can get together, maybe share a drink and talk awhile
And reminisce about the days when we were still together
Maybe somewhere further down the line
And I will meet you there
Sometime in the future we can share our stories
When we won't care about all of our mistakes, our failures, and our glories
But until that day comes along I'll keep on moving on. I'll keep on moving on
