JAMES IHA lyrics
ALBUM...Look to the Sky...
Make believe
You rush in with stars in your hair
You cast your spell and float through the air
Amaze me I've been asleep for too long
I try to catch a glimpse, I've waited so long
Make believe
Falling free
We're in a dream
When you wake
To summer rays
If you stay with me
Hold you closely
Turn you slowly
My hands are weary
Your heart is near me
Speed of light
Flashing bright
Try to breathe
Believe, believe in me
Look to the sky there's a thousand stars
You're moving so fast, you're never that far
Wait for you under the moonlight
The morning comes and I'll never know why
Make believe
Falling free
We're in a dream
When you wake
To summer rays
If you stay with me
Hold you closely
Turn you slowly
The music is fading
My heart is swaying
Speed of light
Flashing bright
Try to breathe
Believe, believe in me
Believe in me
Summer days
I spent all winter long pacing in my room
I look out at the stars
I need a day with you, we're running thru the woods
The warm air and the sky
Clear blue
Summer days they waste away
The morning breeze caught in a dream
I hear a voice it's getting to me
Lost in the light
Your fading light
You're holding onto me, there's so much noise inside
It's like a rising tide
And if you stay tonight you'll help me to forget
The crashing waves in my dreams
Gray and white
Summer days they waste away
The morning breeze caught in a dream
I hear a voice it's getting to me
Lost in the light
Summer days they waste away
The morning breeze caught in a dream
I hear a voice it's getting to me
Lost in the light, your fading light
The rain
Your face
The wind in your hair
I know you'll change
I turn, you're not there
Summer days
Summer days they waste away
I hear a voice it's getting to me
Summer days
To Who Knows Where
Try to speak but nothing comes, slip away into oblivion,
close my eyes, forget the sun
Follow you into the night, a heart explodes,
a thousand lights, turn to you, an empty room,
and then you're gone
Up the stairs, into thin air, to who knows where
Tumbling down, a golden sound, I'm spellbound
In a flash, nothing lasts, I'm falling fast
Coming down from up above,
clouds swirl but nothing could
Make me feel the way you do and then you're gone
Up the stairs, into thin air, to who knows where
Tumbling down, a golden sound, I'm spellbound
In a flash, nothing lasts, I'm falling fast
Close my eyes and nothing is real
Up the stairs, into thin air, to who knows where
Tumbling down, a golden sound, I'm spellbound
You drift away into the dawn...
In a flash, nothing lasts, I'm falling fast
Till Next Tuesday
People walk when radio talks, one way
City bound cause tomorrow's a week day
The screams and suicidal minds in love
Manufactured are the dreams that seem undone
When it's not supposed to be, I lapse into apathy
Don't wake me up till next Tuesday
Close the door till it's news day
My eyes are glued on a valium gloomy day
I'm riding through all the frozen fields at dawn
There's lazy days where daisies lay on lawns
Hotel bars backbeat pulsing now, no more sound
Subway mothers in their rush hour towns
When it's not supposed to be, I lapse into apathy
Don't wake me up till next Tuesday
Close the door till it's news day
My eyes are glued on a valium gloomy day
So don't wake me up
My eyes are glued on a valium gloomy day
When it's not supposed to be, I lapse into apathy
Don't wake me up
Till next Tuesday
Don't wake me up till next Tuesday
Close the door till it's news day
My eyes are glued on a valium gloomy day
So don't wake me up till next Tuesday
Close the door till it's news day
My eyes are glued on a valium gloomy day
No, don't wake me up
Till next Tuesday
So, don't wake me up
Till next Tuesday
Dream Tonight
You don't know which way to go,
you don't know where you've been
You got close to the sun
And everything begins to spin around you
Looking back on yesteryear, you see every steeple pine
Every loss and every hope, every thought magnifies
And you, you need, you long to be...
Sleep and dream tonight
Waves crash overhead, you're falling deeper in
Wait until the morning comes and everything within you
Begins to breathe, tell me please... you burn too bright,
you're drifting out of sight
Rushing headlong down a hole, into the great unknown
I see a face coming through, I know you'll make it soon
Shadows running down the hall
But we could run right through a wall
I feel a chill in the air,
the moon and rain don't compare to you
You'll see, you're almost free, my only light
Days are bright, drifting out of sight
Dark Star
Can't stop falling, my seams are showing through,
surround me I feel new
Hours are slowing, the air is warming diffused,
beneath a paper moon
You spin around and sway, you trip the falling light
Dark star gone astray, won't you shine with me tonight
Day ascending, lightning sending me love,
is it me you're dreaming of?
Is this morning? tell me everything true, intoxicating you
You spin around and sway, you trip the falling light
Dark star gone astray, won't you shine with me tonight
Oh darkness fall away, I know by second sight
Our paper moon will wane, I tried to say good night
Good night sorrow, say good byes for tomorrow
I'll be sailing around your sun,
may tomorrow never come
You turn around and sway, you trip the falling light
Dark star gone astray, won't you shine with me tonight
You turn around and sway, you trip the falling light
Dark star gone astray, won't you shine with me tonight
You turn around and sway, you trip the falling light
Appetite
A kind of lust
For a lot of fuss
Your name in lights it dazzles your eyes
A gift for gab
Oh but what a drag
You're perched high in a gilded cage
No garden sounds, no sacred grounds
No brilliant heights just an appetite
A bully's face
No natural grace
Your anger moves you like the moon and sun
No one to blame
A book of names
You thumb its pages when you feel blue
A dramedy filled with endless scenes
Lots of stage lights
And an appetite
If no one cares
Go on a tear
You stamp your feet until they can't ignore
A bitter cup
Fill it up
Gemini
Ride with me, hold on to me,
and we'll never come back down
Under the heavens, in your arms,
there's something that connects us
There's no reason, there's no why,
just this moment, just this instant
Feel the change, every single move you make
Stars rearrange, the way you feel I can't escape
Nothing ends, can't pretend - gemini
I hear music from another time
and the present seems to disappear
You can't say no, you can't deny,
you will never feel this way again
Feel the change, every single move you make
Stars rearrange, the way you feel I can't escape
Nothing ends, can't pretend - gemini
In your eyes, gemini, drift asleep,
calling me again and again
Feel the change, every single move you make
Stars rearrange, the way you feel I can't escape
Nothing ends, can't pretend, nothing ends, start again
Waves
Waves wash over me, drag me out to sea,
the tide pulls slowly
Tonight I feel so alone, tonight I wandered far from home
The moon plays tricks on me, guides me safely,
lights wash over me
Tonight I feel so alive, tonight with open eyes
I know that you will never change,
your heart is cold and scarred will remain
You act so care free, pure fantasy,
but you're bad company
Tonight I'm wiser now, tonight the whitest clouds
I know that you will never change,
your words are crude and cruel will fade away
Speed of Love
In the night, there's danger in the air
Caution is in the wind
But me I don't care
When you toll
I'll be calling for you
Don't know what you are and what you could do
But I'm traveling at the speed of love
Sooner or later I'll be crashing
But I don't know what I'm thinking of
All the lights around me are flashing
In the night, don't know what I feel
You say hold on, nothing is for real
I feel a change and I'm calling for you
Don't know what you are and what you could do
But I'm traveling at the speed of love
Sooner or later I'll be crashing
But I don't know what you're dreaming of
And all the lights around me are flashing
And all the blood inside me is rushing
And all the cars outside are crashing
Whatever you say is true
Well I drifted in the shadows
It gets so light with you
But I'm traveling at the speed of love
And all the lights around me are flashing
Yes we're traveling at the speed of love
And sooner or later we'll be crashing
Yes we're traveling at the speed of love
Sooner or later we'll be crashing
Traveling at the speed of love...
4th Of July
Weekday hours, they go so slow
Streetlights waking, I hold out hope for you
Fill your bag up with colored scarves
Dream of holdups and getaway cars far from here
Hold your breath
I'll follow you down
Don't remember how, nothing matters now
Sparks light up the sky on the 4th of July
Empty houses, empty rooms
Falling backwards, it feels like home too soon
Early morning, faraway dreams
You feel like running, you want to scream
No sound
Hold your breath
I'll follow you down
Don't remember how, nothing matters now
Stars light up the sky on the 4th of July
I'll follow you down
I'm telling you now, nothing matters how
Sparks light up the sky
Don't remember how
Nothing matters now
Stars light up the sky on the 4th of July
A String Of Words
If you don't remember me
If you don't notice me
I'm laying down on the ground
You step around and make no sound
Empty sky
Fading light
Heaven knows you must be sent
The way the moon compliments
Your lazy eye, falling sigh
The universe it can't deny
Guiding star, beating heart
I believe you'll never know it
The whole world turns when you show it
It's true, the secret you
I believe when the story is told
It'll all come out
But you never know
It's you, the secret you
If you find a melody
A string of words that can't be seen
They bring you down, tear you down
Drifting thru the lost and found
Disappear into thin air
I believe you'll never know it
The whole world turns when you show it
It's true, the secret you
I believe when the story is told
It'll all come out
But you never know
It's you, the secret you
I'm laying down on the ground
I lift my head, there's nothing left
Terrified I recognize
The whole world seems to come alive
Your open smile, stay a while
Diamond Eyes
Wake you up, a change of plans
The traffic roars, makes you laugh
You're standing here, forget the past
You're by my side but nothing lasts
Don't break the spell
Promise never tell
Ooh the bluest sky
Aah your diamond eyes
I'm waiting 'round, to meet you here
Planes overhead, you're nowhere near
Clouds are drifting under the cold moon
Summer ends way too soon
Oh, by the way, tomorrow never came
Ooh the bluest sky
Aah your diamond eyes
I'm mesmerized
Let me run with you
I can confide in you, only you
Ooh the bluest sky
Aah your diamond eyes
Ooh I'm mesmerized
Stay Lost
Away hiding, this heart of mine
A ledge, a view of a skyline
Alone between, it's not by design
Your grace, I swoon
You know I can't deny
How long will I wait for a sign
How long will I search and never find
You and me
No one really knows
Tall tales, a veil
We're lost in prose
The sand, the waves, everything flows
Our souls who knows
We're all made of dust
How long will I wait for a sign
How long will I search and never find
You're lost forever and ever, out of time
Stay lost with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
This heart of mine
Of a skyline
It's not by design
You know I can't deny
One By One
One by one we go
In the sunlight
There's something you should know
The speed of light
Take along the tracks
Race the moon
The moon will catch us up
Way too soon
Waiting for the rain
And the wind that's wild
There's nowhere else you wanna be
By a country mile
Turn to see your face
See what's real
Run, it's a race
It'll all be revealed
You turn me round
We lost our friend
We lost our friend
You turn me round
We lost our friend
You turn me round
ALBUM...Let It Come Down...
Be Strong Now
Little darling belle with such a fragile shell
in the powerful way that love seems to make her all regret it new
and if she'd only say what's wrong she can't on
You've got to be strong now
and if I come and hold you now
You'll be safe and sound
Little lonely face that no one ever sees
You see the thing she believes is life is bittersweet
If she'd open up to me
And it's the only thing she dreams
You gotta believe
you've got to be strong now
and if I come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
ooh god if I could change a thing tonight
We won't be lonely
ooh god if I could change a thing
Why does it have to be this way
Sound of Love
the sound of love is oceans far away
and I can love and I can shake your faith
the sound that beckons me is from your heart
and I can't begin to say cause I don't really know
just where I've been every desire my heart gives in
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know I have to wait my own good time
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know that we can make it all work out
I found you lost and longing, a troubled past
lets begin again cause she's not going to last
before this day is done every desire under the sun
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know I have to wait my own good time
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know that we can make it all work out
in the daylight love seems to come and go
but no more indecision, no more heartfelt division
I've seen a vision
the sound of love is passing as cities decay
people always searching a lonely disease
overrunning run right to me babe
I swear that this love is strong
it's going to carry me, over this dream, and every desire
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know I have to wait my own good time
your love I know I can't escape it
and I know that we can make it all work out
no more indecision, no more heartfelt division
I've seen a vision
Sound of Love
in a minute dear, in a whole second, it'll come clear
do you see beauty, do you see love
right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
do you see beauty, do you see love
in the morning light you lay by my side
in the evening it gets so your love begins to shine
the world is changing but my love will remain
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
there's a love that never comes back down
it feels like something is gonna happen now
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
do you see beauty, do you see love
love it calls your name no matter how you try
and I can't recall a time when I didn't love you
do you see beauty, do you see love
do you see anything at all
in all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can't hide it anymore
I can't hide it anymore
love, love, love
love is what you keep
love is what you need
See The Sun
come back to me darling don't stay your heart is free to be
with someone else who loves and cares and talks to you?it's me
when you wanna sing do sing and if you're undecided you know
there's no denying how I loved you I'll be around to run to?it's me
see the sun and what you're given
and every wonder
see the sun and what you're given
feel the warmth love gives
to everyone and everything know you feel the same
and oh?it's the hardest thing to do and no if you're gone
will I come find you?I know that in a day or two when
things are quiet and there's only you, there's no wrong and on
see the sun and what you're given
I told you, I told you that when we fell apart
I wrote you, I wrote you and asked you for apart of you
don't deny it
feel the warmth love gives
see the sun and what you're given
feel the warmth love gives
Country Girl
hallelujah, I'm in love with a girl from the country
she's got no money just a smile I'm in love with
we go running I don't care where to till the mourning
there's a part of you that never dies I'm in love with
if I give you everything you'll ever need and it all comes down to
your half smile, country mile, angel child
when night is falling you dream of city lights
you hear them calling you hold my hand and then we
cry i'm in love with
and I can't find any other way to live and it all comes back to
your half smile, country mile, angel child
want you to stay, want you to sway, want you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
Jealousy
hey now you never wanna be alone you never wanna be apart
from me on your own
hey now if we runaway and hide and you tell me theres
a hurt if you confide
you've been lost for so many years all your heartache
it all comes clear
your little jealousy, your little jealousy, jealousy over me
hey now throw your arms around me and you tell me
theres no reason to believe
hey now, now if I reassure you I can tell you in one little word
love is a falling star
love could cure a heart
Lover,Lover
lover darling, when you hold my hand it's all I'll have until tomorrow
lover darling, when you hold my life if you say it's night until tomorrow
lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
lover, lover won't you speak I can barely hear you breathe
lover, angel and the stars at night in a burned out sky until tomorrow
lover, angel with no end in sight and no wings to fly
but your still there
lover, lover won't you speak I can barely hear you breathe
on the way to the sun
theres a new world thats just begun
I can feel I'm getting older I can feel the years wash over
your the only one I love
lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
lover, lover won't you speak I can hardly hear you
if you'll say that you'll love me if your hearts one and only
if you'll live with me for just one day until tomorrow
until tomorrow - lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
Silver String
I need you dear, you lay sleeping by my side
and I worry dear but things you say are bright and gay
and I warm to your words of encouragement
and not a soul knows what I will know
were lovers and were honestly
together somehow and tied with silver string
we'll live forever and ever
and if you decide
downhearted, down cause we live apart
no, I can't fake it not for one more day
If theres someplace we can go
If we can make a home
It's up to us to cope
in you I trust in all things theres a must
and I will live again
and if you decide
and if you decide
Winter
love will carry me over land to the sea
take me far away to a home where i'll stay
I give you part of me and thru your eyes I will see
a place where there is light and all the stars are out at night
and I came calling out your name
and I came calling out in vain
and I walk and no one knows my name
and I come will you help me find my way
theres another way if I leave here today
I'm down and I'm blue am I hearing right
will I come find you, if I fall away in there
and I came calling out in vain
and I came calling out in vain
If it's over the highest peak I will go if you cover me
oh I know I'll fail oh I know I'm weak but its you again
over and over I hear angels singing love
I dreamed I found you, yearning tides love the moon
hold me in your mourning light
Jesus loves the first light
One And Two
You and I are one and two
If you count we were both torn in two
you and I are one and two
both our hearts beat as one did
but is It ok, but is It ok if I runaway, is it ok
when your love has faded away
If I hold you tight and never let go
If I hold you tight and never let show
the I feel all around me I know its you
you and I are hopeless too
If I give you all my heart could and Im true (I need you)
all my life I waited for
and there's nothing left and theres no one else
here live for anymore
Is It ok, Is It ok If I can't escape in good faith
or live just one more longer day
If I hold you tight and never let go
If I hold you tight and never let show
the way god moves deep inside of you I swear its you
If I hold you tight and never let go
If I hold you tight and never let go
If I hold you in arms forever all around me
all around me and I swear its you
No One's Gonna Hurt You
no one's gonna hurt you, not anymore
ever since I've met you I've come to adore you
and I know they've hurt you bruised and sore
and I wanna love you a nightengale that longs to sleep
and sound
no one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna hurt you not anymore
no one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna hurt you not anymore
if I hold you close I will take you to a secret world where no on knows
and sound
no one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna hurt you not anymore
you've tried for so many years to runaway
please don't break my heart
oh you know this is our last chance
if were ever gonna make it
no one's gonna hurt you, not anymore
no one's gonna hurt you
I swear to god I need, there is no more
no one's gonna hurt you
over rocks, over stones, all my life spent alone
My Advice
another day that passes just seems like a laugh
we had months and days, can we talk is it ok
were still on top of this world we made
If were still on top why do you stare that way
now I understand how every part of a man dies
theres just one thing left and thats a heart
that needs mending
we're still on top of this world and were still on top
If you slip away
my advice to you is stay with me Im telling you
my advice yes my advice is to
stay with me for a little while
talk with me can we reconcile
stay with me tonight
my advice to you is stay with me no Im telling you
my advice which you never listen to
stay with me for a little while
talk with me if Im in denial
and stay with me tonight tonight

Summer
In the summer i can breathe
I don't need a single thing
and all the love you give
is so sweet
In the winter i can read
all those books you gave to me
and all the words of faith
are bound to waste
worn and torn from the outside
a love that's strong every time
still you vanish in the night
Hey love
Hey love
Hey love
Jack and Rosemary
said love will calm their hearts
never any moment
still devout
a child that can change
I blessed on the stage
I lost the changes
we give each day
worn and torn from the outside
a child gets born it's divine
a love that's strong every time
Do you feel anything
can you explain
If i change
oooh oooh
worn and torn from the outside
a love that's strong as the tides
and still you vanish in the night
Hey love
Hey love (well come on darling)
Hey love (well come on feel)
Believe
Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life
Your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday...
There's a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday I made amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you
Oooh...oooh...oooh...oooh
and I...
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, (soft) you sing, a truth, a lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
Sunday
Sunday
I want to make amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you
The Boy
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh, and every time I heard you breathe
Well I sighed
Ooh, and every time I saw you bleed
Well I cried
Love is like a song
And if you sing
If you ever need me
I'll be there in a while
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh, and everytime that I'm with you
I'm alive
Ooh, and everytime I think of you
There's a light
And I felt it, too
In my heart is a spring
Is a well, if you need
If you drink, if you heal
If you believe in
Every little part of me is a part of you
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
...Said Sadly
(JI=James Iha, NG=Nina Gordon (Veruca Salt))
JI: You should know that I love you
We should love like lovers do
And I can't help but fall for you
Ah honey I'm just a fool
Now you know
NG: Darling, I'll never be true
You see, for so long I was blue
JI: (I'm not the only one)
NG: And if I hurt, then you will, too
Ah honey I always lose
Now you know
J+N: Lover, when will you?
JI: I'm so afraid that no one cares
J+N: Lover, can't find you
JI: I swear to God don't leave me here
J+N: Now you know
J+N: Oh, you know that it can't be
But no one else here really means
JI: (Anything to me)
J+N: If you hurt inside
If you confide in me again
NG: Since you ran away
JI: Hold me now, tell me how
Love is ours
J+N: Lover, when will you?
I'm so afraid that noone cares
Lover, can't find you
And no one knows what brings us here
Lover
JI: Hold me now
NG: Hold me now
JI: Tell me how
J+N: Love is ours

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all
I want to change
The Bell
Oh the bells are ringing out
What a sound
Oh the bells are ringing out
What a sound
And I'm in love
The joy of love
The coming of
Jesus
Did you call my name
Never ever felt afraid
Did you hold onto
Did you make it thru
You
There's so much doubt in every heart
For all our faults we carry on
Jesus
Jesus I ran away
I got so scared
I made mistakes
Will I hold onto
Go
The slowest night
the slowest dance
you sway across the room
as in a dream
an empty house
with empty rooms
I loved you so
but now you leave
Go, and leave if you must know
and go, i never wanted you to know
Go
We ran away
or so we thought
Now i know you were told to go
To know love, to show love
and go
to give love, to feel loved
and go
I fell asleep
washed up on the shore
I kissed my son christopher
He moved to speak
no words could reach me
but one once knew
Go love, and learn by your desire
and know love
you're the only reason why
I'm terrified to go
to know love, to show love
Go
to give love, to feel loved
Go
to know love, to show love
I'm begging you to go
