Empty Space Lyrics

Too late to hide
And too tired to care
Take what you've learned
And forget the rest
Take what you see
Of what's left of me
You know where I've been
And I don't want to go there again

[Chorus:]
You're beautiful, you're confusing
You're illogical, you're amazing
And I've seen the world
It's overrated
Until you're everything
I have nothing
But an Empty Space

And I've been down
This road before
All that I've found
Points me right back to you
And I've watched you move
From down below
Where do I go from here
I guess I'll find out as I go

[Chorus]
You're beautiful, you're confusing
You're illogical, you're amazing
And I've seen the world
It's overrated
Until you're everything
I have nothing
But an empty space

Empty Space

Lead singer Jason Wade:
"This is about the good and the bad, the struggle between beauty and darkness and how they're intertwined. What keeps relationships together is often what drives them apart. I've managed to find a niche of writing where I can take something from my own perspective and give it to a broad audience, where they can get something completely different from it than I do. That's the beauty of music it's a universal language, something people can relate to their own lives." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Take Me Away Lyrics

This time what I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
This time you burn me with your eyes
You see past all the lies
You take it all away
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take Me Away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

I try to make my way to you
But still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Don't give up on me yet
Don't forget who I am
I know I'm not there yet
But don't let
Me stay here alone

This time what I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
I've seen enough and it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

My Precious Lyrics

Can't hold you down
Can I be you
There's nothing I can do
A slave to your hands

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

Where did you go?
Where did you hide?
All I can do
Is watch you pass by

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

Every time I try to take it back
I know I don't wanna live like that
I'll wait for tomorrow
Too tired to go the other way
Too late to wait another day
I'm going on

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

Climb up above
Your precious time
Don't worry your time
Don't hurry your mind

My Precious

Lead singer Jason Wade:
"This is my favorite song on the record. We were working on "Spin," and I just went in the other room and wrote it. Ron (their producer) heard me playing it and said "Let's record it." We recorded it right after I wrote it. The band had never even heard the song we just rolled tape and it clicked. It was the coolest thing. I'd like to do a whole record that way because what came out was so pure. We had no idea how it was going to turn out. It instantly took on a life of its own, which was amazing."

Anchor Lyrics

I stand with a blank expression now
And I can't believe myself
Would someone tell me how
Did I get here

I am walking
Changing slowly
I am chasing
Climbing closer

I know that I'll never be alone
You will never let me go
You are my Anchor
Hold my hand while I'm sinking in the sand
No one else could understand
You are my anchor

It seems that I lost track of time
And I can't believe my mind
Would you save me if
I reached out to you

I am waiting
Watching, standing
I am reaching
Climbing closer

I know that I'll never be alone
You will never let me go
You are my anchor
Hold my hand while I'm sinking in the sand
No one else could understand
You are my anchor

Anchor yeah

Can you hear me, hear me
Can you hear me

Anchor

Lead singer Jason Wade: "I didn't realize it while I was writing this, but someone pointed out that the stanza "Hold my hand/ While I'm sinking in the sand/ No one else would understand/ You are my anchor" can be taken two ways: You can love someone, but they can bring you down, too."

Spin Lyrics

I'd rather chase your shadow all my life
Than be afraid of my own
I'd rather be with you

I'd rather not know
Where I'll be than be alone and convinced that I know
And the world keeps Spinning 'round

My world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change thing

No you and I wouldn't change a thing
Everything I know has let me down
So I will just let go

Let you turn me inside out
Cause I know I'm not sure
About anything but you wouldn't have it any other way

And the world keeps spinning 'round
My world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose

I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change thing
No you and I wouldn't change a thing
Spinning, turning, watching, burning

All my life has found its meaning
Walking, crawling, climbing, falling
All my life has found its meaning

You and I wouldn't change a thing
No you and I wouldn't change a thing
And the world keeps spinning 'round

My world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change thing

No you and I wouldn't change a thing
No you and I wouldn't change a thing

Spin

Lead singer Jason Wade: "The lyrics and chorus for this were actually written when I was 16. I first played it for [producer] Ron [Aniello] while he was cooking a steak, and he said he didn't like it. I tried to write a bridge and just couldn't, but I kept working on it. When I finally brought the song back to him, he loved it. I was going through some negative things back then, but I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'd met Ron, I was making music and I was starting to figure out where I was going. I started getting excited because I realized I didn't have to regret everything that happened to me in the past. I could tell good things were starting to happen." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Cling And Clatter Lyrics

Too many voices, It won't take long
Which one's right, which one's wrong
Yours is most likely to be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues

On the top of my lungs
'Til I find you, 'til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would
And I am contemplating matters

All this Cling And Clatter
In my head, and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster
And it's all good if you would

Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter

It doesn't really matter
If I could touch
The sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how

To make these intentions
Come around
I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word

You are not saying
Speaking without a sound
Trapped inside
Of these four walls

Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face
Beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside

Dancing like an angel would

Only One Lyrics

She's got a pretty smile it covers up the poison
That she hides she walks around in circles in my head
Waiting for the chance to break me chance to take me down
Well I see the burden you gave me
It's too much to carry it's too much to bury inside
I guess you're the Only One
Nobody changes I guess you're the only one
That's still doing everything else ...
You're still the only one yeah you're still the only one
Wisdom shallow oh so peeling
Now I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning
Away in a sea sarcastic faces familiar places
Everything that's quite the same it's all confusing ...
Amusing literally tainted a picture you've painted to me
I guess you're the only one
Nobody changes I guess you're the one
That's still doing when everything else goes down
You're still the only one
We never change faces
I guess you're the only one that's still doing
Everything else goes down
Just cause the sounds in your head
Doesn't mean it has to be in mine
Don't believe what you said still can't get it out of my mind
I've tried to find myself in approval
I've already been there already done that
It got me no where it brought me nothing
But a good place to hide in no one to confide in
Now I guess you're the only one
Nobody changes I guess you're the only one
That will never change faces
I guess you're the only one

Only One

Lead singer Jason Wade: "I wrote "Only One" right after someone in my life did something I felt was totally wrong. It was a really tough time for me. I have these trails in my life, like my dad leaving and my not being with him anymore, and then this man, who I really looked up to, failing. "Only One" is about how sometimes people are just not there for you and you have to look somewhere else for guidance." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Somebody Else's Song Lyrics

Can't change this feeling I'm way out of touch
Can't change this meaning it means too much
Never been this lonely never felt so good
Can't be the only one misunderstood I remind myself of somebody else
Feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head I want some of my own
I want some of my own I want some of my own

Can you see me up here would you bring me back down
Cause I've been living to see my fears as they fall to the ground
I remind myself of somebody else
Feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head I want some of my own
I want some of my own I want some of my own am I hiding behind my doubts
Are they hiding behind me closer to finding out it doesn't mean anything
I remind myself of somebody else now

Somebody Else's Song

Lead singer Jason Wade said that "When I was writing "Somebody Else's Song" I had this picture of some kid with all these expectations on him, about what he's supposed to become in the world and what he's supposed to do. That's where I got that lyric "I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head / I want some of my own." It's about figuring things out for yourself. There was this whole period where I was searching and trying to think for myself. I was, like, I don't want to believe in something just because my parents believe in it. Or, I don't want to go to college just because they told me to go to college. I think people go through that kind of stuff their whole lives." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Sick Cycle Carousel Lyrics

If shame had a face
I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes?
Would you believe me
If I said I am tired of this
How here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this

So when will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around i know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

I never thought I'd end up here
I never thought Id be standing where I am
I guess a kind of thought it would be easier than this I guess
I was wrong now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this

So when will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this

Sick Cycle Carousel,
This is a sick cycle, yeah
Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle, yeah

So will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

When will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

Jason, the singer songwriter guitarist from Lifehouse, said:
"It's about my relationship with my girlfriend. There was a specific time when we felt the struggles of going through a relationship, of trying to communicate and going through all the things you go through to get to that point of real depth. I wrote the song during the most crucial time when we were either going to break up, or continue our relationship." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Trying Lyrics

Could you let down your hair
And be transparent for a while
Just a little while
See if your human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
I may be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
And god I pretend like I do just
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art for today
I'd I quote all the line off the top of my head
And you'd be
I don't understand all of these things Ive read
I'm just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't drawn it or figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life
To get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Oh, I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way

Trying Song Chart

Lead singer Jason Wade wrote this about trying to cope with the divorce of his parents. After the divorce, Wade moved with his mother to Seattle. He is now a huge Nirvana fan.

Wade: "I wrote "Trying" when I was 15. It's about the same kind of spiritual searching as "Only One." After my parents got divorced, I wrote the lyrics to it, then learned how to play guitar and came up with the melody. The song's about finding your way in life. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, what I wanted to become, not just in music but also who I was as a person. I consider "Trying" my first song, the first one I didn't scrap. The funny thing is, I can relate to it more now than I could back then. Sometimes I think, "Man where did that come from?" I still feel the same emotion when I play it, so I guess it's pretty timeless; people can relate to it, no matter how old they are." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Wade is now disillusioned with the Christian church because of its reaction to some of his fathers "mistakes." Wade believes in mercy and love, his father was shunned.

Wash Lyrics

Never meant to waste your time
Never meant to fall out of line
Always tried to get closer to you
Now it seems with every step
Feels like I'm losing my breath
I don't know what else I can do

But you Wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you fall over me
You crawl over me like sunshine

I never had to choose
Living a life with you
Or choosing lies only half true
And now I'd rather be
Alone with you and me
Than hiding behind these walls

But you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you fall over me
You crawl over me like sunshine

You wash over me
You wash over me like rain
You fall over me
You crawl over me like sunshine
Like sunshine

Everything in the world was falling through
All I knew was to look to you
My sunshine
All my life never found my place
Until I felt the sunlight on my face
My sunshine

Never meant to waste your time
Never meant to fall out of line
Always tried to get closer to you
Now it seems with every step
Feels like I'm losing my breath
I don't know what else I can do

But you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
You crawl over me
You fall over me like sunshine

Like sunshine
Like sunshine
My sunshine

Lead singer Jason Wade:
"'You was over me like the rain/ You wash over me like the sunshine' the truth is, you can't have one without the other. You can't truly know happiness without having experienced sadness. A lot of the guitar sounds I got on this record came about by experimentation, which was very cool. I turned all these frequency distortion pedals up at the same time and started playing these harmonics and weird wah-wah things, and some crazy stuff just came out of it. I went back into the studio later and tried to duplicate it, but I couldn't." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Hurricane Lyrics

Turn the page
Turn the corner
Open the cage
Cut the locks
We're starting over
I don't wanna live this way

We made it through hell and back again
We were slipping through the cracks, staring at the end
Oh, and we brave the weather
Hurricane couldn't take you from me
I'm holding on tight and I still believe
Oh, yeah, it just gets better

A quiet rage
A screaming silence is all around
Let me in
The world we built is crashing down

We made it through hell and back again
We were slipping through the cracks, staring at the end
Oh, and we brave the weather
Hurricane, couldn't take you from me
I'm holding on tight and I still believe
Oh, yeah, it just gets better

It just gets better
It just gets better

We made it through hell and back again
We were slipping through the cracks, staring at the end
Oh, and we brave the weather
Hurricane couldn't take you from me
I'm holding on tight and I still believe
Oh, yeah, it just gets better

It just gets better

Hurricane Song Chart

The lead single from Lifehouse's Out of the Wasteland album, this is the first radio single released by the band under the independent label Ironworks Music. It was dropped on January 27, 2015.

Lifehouse lead singer Jason Wade co-wrote the track with producer and manager Jude Cole. Wade told Billboard magazine it is reminiscent of the band's early work. "'Hurricane' started as a catchy up-tempo pop song and then transformed into this electric, energetic rock song that was very reminiscent of our first album," he said. "I feel like it is the backbone of the record, and was the catalyst that brought our band back around full circle."

The behind the bars visual features Lifehouse performing in a jail while the story is told of a woman brought into the cell next to them. "The video depicts two people working out their problems in a scene of chaos, which takes place in a prison," Wade explained. "A fitting setting since the song is about a refusal to give up on someone no matter how turbulent life can get sometimes. It was refreshing to revisit sonically somewhere that we haven't been for a while, and sometimes the best place to arrive at, is at the beginning."

Lifehouse spent most of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 on a hiatus as each band member turned attention to other projects. This song finds them coming out of their temporary break. Wade told Artist Direct : "It was a really frustrating time for the band where we weren't really touring that much. The song is about resiliency. It's not about a relationship but refusing to give up through hard times. That's the metaphor."
