Parkview Lyrics

Lyrics to the songs on Parkview.

Welcome To Nightfall

Welcome To Nightfall

Welcome To Nightfall
You feel the itch take hold, Your mind’s broken
A common mistake to make, Doors wide open

Never doubted that you’d come back home
Where you’re certain of no dial tone
Make a final curtain call
Welcome to nightfall

You fall to your knees again, Fingers searching
The fire’s going out tonight, Your mind hurting

Never doubted that you’d come back home
Where you’re certain of no dial tone
Make a final curtain call
Welcome to nightfall

In Time

In Time

In Time
A need to feel needed
A warning unheeded
A ticking clock resets my heart

In time
Our hands align
I’m scared of falling and breaking
A captive heart

Marooned on an island
In time
In time

Stealing so far away
The hours stopped and held at bay
Hope for a lifeline
In time

One Warm June Night

One Warm June Night

One Warm June Night
Sitting on the rooftop
One warm June night
Climbed out the window
To watch the satellites

Sky folding inwards
Where does it start?
My eyes are wide
As everything’s falling apart

So much has changed
A premonition of things to come
I cannot work you out
But maybe in the morning sun

Thought it would be different
Not like it was before
Moving in the darkness
The light that you adore

You look to the past
And miss the old days
The light is changing
As the memory’s fading away

So much has changed
A premonition of things to come
I cannot work you out
But maybe in the morning sun

You’re reading the words
Again and again
Your handwritten words
Again and again
A photograph faded away
Again and again
In your hand
Again and again

So much has changed
A premonition of things to come
I cannot work you out
But maybe in the morning sun

I've Found You

I’ve Found You

I’ve Found You
I think that I have finally found you
I think that you have finally found me too
And you know I won’t let you down
And I know you won’t let me down

Do you know I’ll love you always?
Do you know I’ll hold you forever?
And you know I won’t let you down
And I know you won’t let me down

Now that I’ve found you

And now that I have found you
You will be here for me
and I for you

Holding through the days
and months and years for two
Seeing where we go
A beautiful thing to do

Your eyes tell me all I need to know
The sky above our heads
the ground so far below

And now that I have found you
You will be here for me
and I for you

Knowing now
What I didn’t then
I can breathe again
I’ve found you

Growing near
Not far to see
It beckons me
Homeward

You keep the light on
You keep the light on

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
Well it was a cold hearted way to behave
Like you did on that winter’s day
You were ice sitting in your chair
As you told me there was nobody there

I felt my dreams melt away
Only memories would remain
In your arms it wasn’t better
It was never the same again

Goodbye, Goodbye
You said goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
You said goodbye

I didn’t care at all
As you walked out through my door
Take the road straight out of my life
I don’t even think about you anymore

And if I said that I missed you
It would be a greater lie than yours
Don’t try to crawl back into my arms
‘Cause you used what was not yours

Goodbye, Goodbye
You said goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
You said goodbye

Be careful what you wish for
‘Cause it may come true one day
And you’ll be crying as it happens
Trying to wish it would go away
Goodbye

Goodbye, Goodbye
You said goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
You said goodbye
Goodbye

Make It Better

Make It Better

Make It Better
Night after night
I sit down by your side
Tears run down your face
And I know I’ve hurt you inside

I needed to lie
You needed to cry
To make it better

Day after day
We seem to grow apart
Why are you still here?
I’m wrapped around your heart

You needed to pry
I needed to lie
To make it better
To make it better

Here on the inside
Hold you in my arms
I’ll make it better
Safe from harm

Year after year
I sit and watch you smile
Tell me, is it better?
I haven’t seen you like this in a while

Please tell me why
I had to lie
To make it better
To make it better

Here on the inside
Hold you in my arms
I’ll make it better
Safe from harm

I had to lie
I needed to lie
I had to lie
I needed to cry

Close My Eyes

Close My Eyes

Close My Eyes
Hold me in your arms, Keep me safe from harm
Close my eyes to sleep, Heading for the deep

I’ll be fine, Just close my eyes
Shut out the streetlights, Remove all the noise
I feel it on the edges, The darkness closing in
Wake me when it’s over, Take me by surprise

Running out of control, Falling down the hole
Blinded by the sun, Wake me when it comes

I’ll be fine, Just close my eyes
Shut out the streetlights, Remove all the noise
I feel it on the edges, The darkness closing in
Wake me when it’s over, Take me by surprise
I’ll be fine, Just close my eyes

Tonight

Tonight

Tonight
Do you know the way I feel?
Can you hear these words?
Do you know what you’ve heard?

The two of us are the same
Hear me calling out your name
Never one to cry out in vain
In vain, in vain, in vain, in vain

So many answers I need to know
Questions I cannot write
Feelings I try to fight

The two of us are the same
Hear me calling out your name
Never one to cry out in vain
In vain, in vain, in vain, in vain

And now is the time
The time to put it right
The time is tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Watching Over You

Watching Over You

Watching Over You
Standing in doorways to shelter from the rain
In vain
You make your way home
Under the streetlight’s illuminating glare
You stare
Reassured you’re alone

This is the last mistake
I swear I’ll ever make

From the corner of your eye in the darkness
I’ll see it through
I’ll take you away from all of the distractions
I’m watching over you

The sound of footsteps echo around the streets
My heart beats
Dropping out of sight
Passing reflections reveal another night
It’s precise
No one’s leaving without a fight

Right before your eyes
An Angel in disguise

From the corner of your eye in the darkness
I’ll see it through
I’ll take you away from all of the distractions
I’m watching over you

The sound of a broken heart
Silent in the dark
We won’t be kept apart
Silent in the dark

From the corner of your eye in the darkness
I’ll see it through
I’ll take you away from all of the distractions
I’m watching over you

Rest Your Head On My Shoulders

Rest Your Head On My Shoulders

Rest Your Head On My Shoulder
Rest your head on my shoulder
We don’t have long before daylight
Fall to sleep here tonight

Fingers moving absentmindedly
To the rhythm of the streetlights
I’m here to wish you goodnight

Passing buildings
Reflect the moonlight
Sleep through the journey
Soon be home tonight

Rest your head on my shoulder
We don’t have long before daylight
Fall to sleep here tonight

Fading Light

Fading Light

Fading Light
It always started with a blank page
and you filled every page with lines
And every line reveals a heartache
Every word spells out what you have left behind

Little thoughts and dreams like passing cars
Racing home the stars
Where there is a love to find

In fading light
The minutes of the night
Keep on passing
Keep on falling out of sight
Holding back the door with all my hope and all my might
Before tonight takes away the fading light

Pages turning in the warm breeze
Recalling forgotten years
The open window lets the outside in
Drowning out the thoughts of lost unspoken fears

Disembodied shouts and voices calls
as the rain begins to fall
It all starts to disappear

In fading light
The minutes of the night
Keep on passing
Keep on falling out of sight
Holding back the door with all my hope and all my might
Before tonight takes away the fading light
Takes away the fading light
