Tonight, Tonight Single

From The Aeroplane Flies High


Tonight, Tonight


time is never time at all
you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
and our lives are forever changed
we will never be the same
the more you change the less you feel
believe, believe in me, believe
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same, we're different tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
and you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
if you held yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
the place where you were born
believe, believe in me, believe
in the resolute urgency of now
and if you believe there's not a chance tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
we'll crucify the insincere tonight
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
the indescribable moments of your life tonight
the impossible is possible tonight
believe in me as i believe in you, tonight


Meladori Magpie


And on her doorstep I saw that I was blind
I'd forsaken what was life
What it mattered, mattered little now
We had shattered, but somehow
I can't help but stay the same
I'll remain true to thy name
Time to get up and take the long walk home
For the first time I go alone
Do you remember when we first met
Chasing down the alleyways behind my debt
I can't help but stay the same
I remain true to the name of lovers past
I could not lose, I could not choose you too
I can't help but stay the same
I remain true to the name of lovers past
(I) could not lose, (I) could not choose you too


Rotten Apples


Dirty your face with longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
Where the cool winds blow I must surely go
For my love calls me lo to drag her from the depths of my soul
When will I see her again?
The other side of friends
The darkened clouds of death
The empty-breathed desire
Dirty your face with longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
Restless in my speech
And ruthless in my teach
So vacant in my breach,
I drive the dirt of her garden
Sorrow
She'll never listen again
No other lovers to bend
Just rotten apples to eat
Slathered yellow distant scorn
Dirty your face with longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart and love her when your love goes unrequited
Life just fades away
Purity just begs
Dust to dust we're wired into sadness


Jupiter's Lament


Gone, long gone
We can all be gone, gone, gone
Leave this world all wrong, wrong, wrong
Leave it far behind
And although my secret's gone I'll try to carry on
If I must, I'll get along without you
Gone, long gone
Leave this world all wrong, wrong, wrong
Beyond the pale beyond the dawn
Free these mortal bonds
No one knows I can't be wrong
So I'll sing the same old songs
I try to be strong for you
Why have you left me
Amongst the tall trees
I know I gave her all I have
And I tied her heart in ribbons
Tied her heart in ribbons
Tied her heart in ribbons and bows
And I'm gone
Oh yes, I'm gone
And I'm lost without you
I'm lost within you
And I'm gone, so gone, long gone


Medellia Of The Grey Skies


You're an empty promise
You're an easy chair
You're the god's forces
Struck down somewhere
You're a secret notice
You're a mystery sky
You're a wish floating
Up to the night
Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of love
You're the reason that I write
And if you say you will
I will love you still
And if I could
I'd throw away this world
I'd dress you all in pearls
I'd give you what you wanted
You're all I notice
In a crowded room
Your vacant notice
On me, [?]
Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of love
You're the reason that I try
And if you say you will
I will love you still
And if I just could
Be anything for you
Just anyone at all
Anything that mattered washed out
You're the silly reasons
In a goldfish lair
You're the angel ceilings
At rest, at last


Blank


I wish I was blank
I wish I was blank
I wish I could thank
I wish I was blank
I'd write a letter to you
And there'd be nothing to it
I wouldn't hem and haw
On just how to start it
I wish I was blank
I wish I was blank
I wish I could thank
I wish I was blank
I wish I'd stand up straight
I wish I'd said things different
I wish I'd said nothing
Things would be so perfect
I wish myself to keep
I pray my soul to sleep
I wish myself away
I wish I was blank


Tonite Reprise


and the embers never fade in my city by the lake
the place where i was born
as the wind-up toys wind down
muffling the sound of a life hidden underground
believe, believe in me, believe
that you can change, that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same we're different tonite
we'll crucify the insincere tonite
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonite
the impossible is possible tonite
believe in me like i believe in you tonite
