Take me down to where you think I belong.
You can't rescue me, you ain't that strong.
You don't know no better,
I'm not gonna tell you any better.
Can you turn this pale water to wine?
If you can do that, I think we'll be fine.
But you can raise a sinner.
And it's not me, but honesty, that's died.

Blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
Your body's sending questions to answers
You can't give or cannot get.

If you throw me a line, I'll only drag you in,
This is New York City and the ice is thin.
Keep your eyes open up all night,
I'll be gone by the morning, it strikes daylight.
You believe in faith and now you think their lies.
I never meant to hurt a soul alive.
I'm still searching for what you can give,
The further I wander, the less I know what it is.

Blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
My body's sending promises that I cannot keep.

Well we are blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
Your body's sending questions to answers,
You can't give or cannot get.

Blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
My body's sending promises that I cannot keep.

Well we are blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
Your body's sending questions to answers,
You can't give or cannot get.

Blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
My body's sending promises that I cannot keep.

Well we are blurry lines between love and sin.
Can't tell me to stop when I begin.
Your body's sending questions to answers,
You can't give or cannot get.



Anberlin 의 리드보컬인 Stephen Christian 이 자신의 레이블인 Wood Water Records 를 통해 발매한
어쿠스틱 사이드 프로젝트 앨범.
CopelandAaron Marsh 가 프로듀서로 참여했으며, 2009년에 발매되어
빌보드 Top Heatseekers 차트 30위를 기록했다.

Anberlin 의 곡들은 얼터너티브 락 장르라 좀 하드했는데, Copeland 도 해체한 지금,
둘이 같이 이런 장르의 앨범도 계속 내어주었으면 하는 바램이다.

Sing to me every night and I'll make you the happiest man alive
So now you know why I still play guitar
Just so locked into a battle, both want to win and lose
She's made threats that I hope she sees through

Like steps, steps
Like steps in a dance
Like steps, steps
Like steps in a dance

Talk to me then whisper gently what you're doing to me
I can't seem to take this blindfold off
Hear me out with just your hands, tell me you're intrigued
Please use future tense when talking to me

Like steps, steps
Like steps in a dance
Like steps, steps
Like steps in a dance


Like steps, steps
Like steps in a dance
Like steps, steps
Like steps in a dance

I wake up beside you, tired and alone
Heat of the moment
Well this used to feel like home
Shouldn't have stayed here
Here in your bed
Leftover feelings raised from the dead

Is this heaven or is this hell
I'm too tired to think
Yeah, I'm too tired to tell
Is this is heaven or is this hell
I'm too tired to think
Yeah, I'm too tired to tell

You talk of green on grass
You had a way
But I can tell when you're lying, baby
Your lips move again
I may be lost here, here in your eyes
But these scars on my heart
Well they keep me in line

Is this heaven or is this hell
I'm too tired to think
Yeah, I'm too tired to tell
Is this heaven or is this hell
I'm too tired to think
Yeah, I'm too drunk, too drunk to tell

Is this heaven or is this hell
I'm too tired to think
Yeah, I'm too tired to tell
Is this heaven or is this hell
I'm too tired to think
Yeah, I'm too drunk, too drunk to tell

Tear, tear off your skin*
What's there within
Life on wooden swings
When all was young
With summer tongues

I don't care to know
Who's been before
Or we could stand to run
Never look back at trains on track

You could disappear
You could disappear

And I'll kiss you in London,
Love you in France,
Sunsets in Germany,
Spain we can slow-dance
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside

Wake from lovers kept
On slumber's bed
Days in quiet homes
When life was young
With summer tongues

You could disappear
You could disappear

And I'll kiss you in London,
Love you in France,
Sunsets in Germany,
Spain we can slow-dance
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside

You could disappear
You could disappear

And I'll kiss you in London,
Love you in France,
Sunsets in Germany,
Spain we can slow-dance
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside

And I'll kiss you in London,
Love you in France,
Sunsets in Germany,
Spain we can slow-dance
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside
Somewhere outside, somewhere outside

Gonna know now this song's about you
I wrote these words with you in mind
Anne baby, don't you think you deserve
A little more cause you've been used up
And thrown around like worthless hope
All in all in all again
You've got more damned sinners
Than saints as friends
Your halo's slid and it's choking you

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

Four AM, there's someone on your shoulder
They call when it's suddenly cold
You're like an autumn's leaf in winter's wind
Blown away by the sudden lack of friends
When you need someone close
Don't feed me lines of good intentions
I'm the greatest of the least of these

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

This is for your wedding/funeral day 
You always liked to be the center of attention 
So here you are 
Dressed so beautiful 
Just like I remember 
Always outshining the rest 
Sun, moon, and stars 
You face looks so content 
As I walk to find a chair 
Just a few feet away, but miles apart 

Why did I let you go 
How could I let you leave my side 
Would have been something amazing 
Should have been wild 
Why did I let you go 
How could I let you leave my side 
Would have been something amazing 
Should have been wild and learned 

I'm a great burning lament to this day 
But I realize now you're in a better place 
Hands will tremble 
As you're lowered down the aisle 
But you won't look at me 
Not so much as smile 
I want to stand up and speak my peace 
And let your hollow pieces walk away 

Why did I let you go 
How could I let you leave my side 
Would have been something amazing 
Should have been wild 
Why did I let you go 
And let you leave my side 
Would have been something 
Should have been wild 
Why did I let you go 
How could I let you leave my side 
Would have been something amazing 
Should have been wild 
Why did I let you go 
How could I let you leave my side 
Should have been something 
Should have been wild and learned

Words are like a long and winding road
They all look the same in the dark
Listening for the sounds to run awry
But you can keep this up all night
There's more here than what you have to say
Truth alone won't set you free now, baby

Forget love, I just want you to make sense to me tonight
Forget words, I just want you to make sense to me tonight

All is said for the greater good
But good don't last now like it should
Do you know a thing about my life?
You've been in it, but told me to be silent
Stop your tongue and turn this ship around
For only this can be your loudest sound

Forget love, I just want you to make sense to me tonight
Forget words, I just want you to make sense to me tonight

Is this too hard?
Am I asking so much?
Is this impossible for you, love?
Love's been lost, and I've lost too much
I think before you make him say I do
I do

Forget love, I just want you to make sense to me tonight
Forget words, I just want you to make sense to me tonight
