And we keep driving into the night. It’s a late goodbye, such a late goodbye…
-Poets Of The Fall, Late Goodbye
I see you crying and it rains- washing away the bad days, washing away the pain loss brings. And then you smile though it aches ’cause you don’t believe in mistakes, just that we made a mess of things.
-Poets Of The Fall, Overboard
When the deal that you made with love is now a one way street, and you’ll feel you’ll go overboard ’cause you’re incomplete, you’re not afraid to rely on any way, you can try to learn to make some sense of things. And the way you say we’ll get by with a little laugh we can fly, you know the measure of hope that brings.
-Poets Of The Fall, Overboard
I hear you laughing like a child. Instead of choking all riled, instead of staring at shortcomings just like the rain when you cried washed all the stains of false pride, you’ll learn to make the best of things.
-Poets Of The Fall, Overboard
You lift my spirit. Take me higher, make me fly; touch the moon up in the sky. When you are mine you lift me higher. Take my spirit, make it fly.

Glad the waters are so shallow when the river runs cold.
-Poets Of The Fall, Shallow
Never should’ve wept when you let go. Never thought you’d push me away.
-Poets Of The Fall, Seek You Out
Never knew if we were really true. Never thought I’d ever get to you. Never thought I’d end up like this.
-Poets Of The Fall, Seek You Out
Never said you’d promise anything. Never told to trust you blindly. Never thought you’d hurt me either.
-Poets Of The Fall, Seek You Out
Morning comes slow today. Memories push through from yesterday. Where will I be tomorrow? What do I have to show?
-Poets Of The Fall, Stay
Back row to the left, a little to the side. Slightly out of the place. Look beyond the light where you’d least expect- there’s someone special.
-Poets Of The Fall, Someone Special
All I’m saying is don’t give up. You’re getting so close. All I’m saying is don’t give up. It’s the right way you chose.
-Poets Of The Fall, Everything Fades
Look in my eyes. I’ll make you see. We’re drifting aimlessly, blind in a world of make believe.
-Poets Of The Fall, Illusion & Dream
I’ve got no hand in matters worldly. I hardly care at all. What’s going on fails to concern me ’cause I’m locked behind my wall. But you know what drives me out of my mind. It’s whatever makes you see, makes you believe.
-Poets Of The Fall, Illusion & Dream
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in. Like waves of sweet fire, you’re safe within. Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in and carry you over to a new morning.

Come, feed the rain ’cause I’m thirsty for your love; dancing underneath the skies of lust. Yeah, feed the rain
’cause without your love my life ain’t nothing but this carnival of rust.

Oh, the things you see makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah, when arrogance does publicity, smiling happily.

Oh, the things you see makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah, when ignorance spreads conformity, smiling happily.

Like gravity, like love, you get up after you fall. I ain’t afraid no more.
-Poets Of The Fall, Gravity
Out of no reason I’ve decided to stay, present a solution to the problem. Typical of me that I concentrate on the destination so much that I miss the journey there and back.
-Poets Of The Fall, Gravity
Could you hold us up if I would drag us down? Resurrect emotions from our past. And if they had a king for fools would you wear the crown? Build us up again and make us last.
-Poets Of The Fall, King Of Fools
What I feel is the only truth for me, and I get by on this naivete of youth.
-Poets Of The Fall, King Of Fools
Seems to matter what I say, so I’ll hold my tongue at bay and rather use my mouth to kiss your frown away so your doubts no longer darken your day, so you can hold your head up high, come what may.
-Poets Of The Fall, All The Way / 4U
Oh, my love, if it’s all I can do, I’ll take the fall 4 U. ‘Cause I will soar when I lay down with you and give my all 4 U.

So when I’m crying alone, when I’m cold as a dying stone, grow me a garden of roses. Paint me the colors of sky and rain; teach me to speak with their voices. Show me the way and I’ll try again.
-Poets Of The Fall, Roses
