Twelve Minutes And A Day

The rolling of the thunder makes you smile
You're dancing as it's raining all the while
A storm you want to pass on to your child
The hold on your heart is tightened
You don't mind the heat of the fire
And if you run your feet'll get stuck in the mire
Lightning hitting a church's spire as you listen to the buzzing of an amplifier
Your senses heightened
As the hold on your heart is tightened
What an imagination
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Little marks on paper brought to life
As you sing about a girl who's lost a lifelong strife
And who will live or die? It's up to you
And which little marks on paper you choose to do
You'd finish but you got too much to say
You write a song twelve minutes and a day long
And who decides what instrument you play?
It's the one that'll last the longest
Doesn't matter about the sound
It's how new and tough it is
No doubt you'll try and break it
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!

Alexandra
You are all alone
I see reflected in your eyes a fear that ain't your own
Alexandra
You are all alone
I see reflected in your eyes something that ain't your own
Alexandra
You are on the run
I see reflected in your movement that you don't know what from
Alexandra
You'd better run
It's your life not your dreams that matters
It can't be undone
Alexandra
The day's awakening
You won't survive the next few nights without being taken in
Alexandra
What a sorry sight
The morning's broken but you won't let go without a fight
You remind me
Of somebody I knew
Before they turned the world to ashes like we knew they'd do
Now you're running
From fear that has no name
Through the light of day and the dead of night cause now they're both the same
Footsteps that follow
Getting closer
They'll reach you by tomorrow
No time for sleep
Don't close your eyes
You'll have to be gone by sunrise
Alexandra
They're coming now
They're gaining ground
Alexandra
I leave you now

Take me under your wing
I will do anything to get back
Where I should be
There's something in the air
Something that wasn't there yesterday
When I was back home
And I just want to be gone
My heart beats all too fast
I don't know if I'll last a day more
With fear in my head
And I have just been misled
The sky is turning red
Now
You have a tongue like a knife and those stony eyes
Aim for my gaze and then set me alight
Prowling and searching against my advice
Cause it won't end well
Day and night just can't be right if they only start
It wouldn't be so bad if I could tell them apart
But no one really seems to care you don't have a heart
Am I the only one
Who's afraid
You won't be
The death of me
I won't let you take what's left of me
I'll learn to be stronger
I'll learn to reach higher
So you'll be overthrown
You have a tongue like a knife and those stony eyes
Aim for my gaze and then set me alight
Prowling and searching against my advice
Cause it won't end well
Day and night just can't be right if they only start
It wouldn't be so bad if I could tell them apart
But no one really seems to care you don't have a heart
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Who's afraid

Let's run away
Somewhere money can be made
A place you don't have to play
Not if you don't want to
You can be warm
I won't wake you up at the crack of dawn
You can always have the curtains drawn
Cause I know that you prefer that
Let's leave the medicine behind so you won't feel bad
Let's tear up the bed sheets
Cut the drips and swap the gown for your favourite dress
Let's run away from stress
I won't bring a mirror because you say you look a mess
We'll sleep beneath the stars cause it's the best
So much better than the night sky painted on a ceiling
There'll be an old man there and he'll have a cure for you
I'll pay him all my money if it does what it should do
You'll wake up the next day feeling good as new
And we will run
Run and run and run and run and run
Race and jump and cartwheel in the sun
Do all the things you wished you could have done
Since you were young
We will run
Dance and sprint and cartwheel in the sun
Do all the things you wished you could have done
Cause we're still young
You're still
You're still so young
We'll run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run
