Ashes (In A Place Like This)

Lyrics

Hello, I've waited here for you Everlong Tonight, I throw myself into And out of the red Out of her head, she sang Something's getting in the way Something's just about to break I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane So tell me how it should be So tell me how it should be And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever (Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag) If anything could ever bе this good again (Now they're going to bed, and my stomach is sick And it's all in my hеad, but she's touching his) The only thing I'll ever ask of you (Chest now, he takes off her) You've got to promise not to stop when I say when (Dress now, let me go) She sang And I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control (She sang) Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis (I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane) But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me (As I burn another page, as I look the other way) Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside (I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane) Breaking my back just to know your name Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game (Try to find out what makes you tick As I lie down, sore and sick Do you like that, do you like that?) I'm breaking my back just to know your name But heaven ain't close in a place like this Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this (Something's getting in the way) I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this (Something's just about to break) Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh) (I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane) Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year (As I burn another page, as I look the other way) It's not confidential, I've got potential (I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane) Ready? Let's roll onto something new Taking its toll then I'm leaving without you (I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out) 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this (I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the v- *beep*) Mister Marks, can you find for me Someone strong and sweet fitting on my knee? She can keep her job if she gets it wrong Ah, but, Mister Marks, I won't need her long All I need is help for a little while We can take dictation and learn to smile And a temporary secretary Is what I need for to do the job I need a Temporary secretary, temporary secretary Temporary secretary, temporary secretary Mister Marks, I can pay her well (Change my pitch up Smack my bitch up) If she comes along and can stay a spell I will promise now that I'll treat her right (Change my pitch up Smack my bitch up) And will rarely keep her 'til late at night I need a (Temporary secretary, temporary secretary) It's in the palm of your hand now, baby It's a yes or a no, no maybe (Temporary secretary, temporary secretary) Make me your Aphrodite Make me your one and only (Temporary secretary, temporary secretary) So just be sure before you give it all to me All to me, give it all to me So you wanna play with magic? Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for Baby, do you dare to do this? 'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse And I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control They're taking control 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this…
