Miracle Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

It's taken much too long
To get it right
Would it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

And all you really need
Is everything you could never be
And so you'd give it all
For a miracle

[Chorus]
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle

You never really know
What it is
Not until it goes
And if it comes again
It's a miracle

But what you miss is love
In everything below and up above
And could she bring it all
A miracle

[Chorus]

All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
And all you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle

It's taken so long to get it right
Could it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

[Chorus]

Shackled Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own

I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again

So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It's half the distance before you leave me behind
It's such a waste of time

[Chorus]
'Cause my shackles
You won't be
And my rapture
You won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me

So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don't need you to keep my faith alive

I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

[Chorus]

Though you know you care

[Chorus]

And my laughter
You won't hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears

Footprints In The Snow Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Seems like only yesterday
But it started long ago
Trials tribulations
And notes in the autumn nights

We didn't know way back then
What brothers we really were
Letting the time pass quickly
And watching it go

[Chorus:]
But we stood together
And we made each other strong
We tried to comfort ourselves when the nights were long
And we held back the tears
When they needed to flow
But where we once stood lie only footprints in the snow

Even when it was hard
To find a smiling face
And when others would leave us
Without a trace

We never thought about tomorrow
Or what she might bring
We never stopped to realize
That we might not always sing

[Chorus]

Seems like only yesterday
God where'd the time go
Where we once laughed lie only tears in the snow

The Ride Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I hope you know why
You're taking me for a ride

I'm taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the anger's been
When it's deep inside

And each day my hope subsides
It's killed by your reasons why
Chalking it up to fate
What's to become of the injured hate
When it won't die

[Chorus:]
And though I'd like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down
Into another stormy day
So I've got to get away

Someday I'll realize
Why you wouldn't be my bride
I wish you could take the hit
'Cause your luck becomes what you make of it
But you have to try

And though I'd like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down
Into another lonely day
Won't you save me

I'm taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the anger's been
When it's deep inside

[Chorus]

The Mountain Song Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive

It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time

If your lost and you need someone to count on
Oh you've got to look to me
Because it's times like these when a good friend is a savior
Oh you come running on back to me

It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time

And someday when you're feeling awkward
And someday when you're down
Come to me I will give you anything
I'll turn your frown around

What you've done for me is more that I could hope for
Oh you are my friend
And I'll be there for you through happiness and sad times
Oh our love will pull us through

This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive

Goodnight My Friend Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Goodnight my sun
Goodnight my friend
Rest your soul at this
Long day's end

The fire inside
Will warm our night
And daddy's arms will
Hold you tight

Dream of summer skies
Sunset is bound to each sunrise
Rest is your first right
My friend goodnight

This world spinning
Time always winning
The silver chains keep thinning and
This is just your beginning

Sleep my friend
At last be free
No we won't forget
Our merriest melody

Gone to another place
Of carousel rides round an angel's face
I'm sure we'd both laugh at the sight

My friend goodnight

When You Cry Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Heaven knows you're with me now
Heaven knows that you're here
I feel your breath all around me now
And all the pain just disappears
It goes away, it goes away

And it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry

You carry too much on your shoulders
I can't wait till you let me down
Cause the only thing we're getting is older
This time never comes back around
You just gave it, gave it away

And it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
When you cry

Heaven knows you're with me now
And I'll do my best to hold on
Cause nothing is worth all this fighting now
And I won't give up till it's gone
Make it go away, go away
Make it go away, go away

Cause it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry

It's Only Me Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I am the blood
I am the heartbeat
I am the needle drawing me from me
Separate vials for the vile I see

I am the mind
And I know what I know
Fragments of pictures form my core
All strewn about on this prison floor

[Chorus:]
Watched on by secret eyes
Hidden internal lies
It's only me
I get afraid of the dark sometimes
I can't see
When the light shines I find it's only me

I am the flood
And I am the cleansing
Reckless and pure still unsure
I got aimless precision

I am the savior
And I am my brother
Holding me in locking me out
Different room for a different doubt

[Chorus]

I am the blood
And I am the heartbeat
I am the needle drawing me from me
Seperate vials for the vile I see

[Chorus]

Everything You Want Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

[Chorus]

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
