Gavin Rossdale - Wanderlust Lyrics






Can't Stop the World

How far will you go?
How deep is your love?
Your bodies bruised and on fire
Cant stop the world
Cant stop desire
And I can't turn around
And I can't turn around

[Chorus]
Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I don't know what I was thinking
I've been gone to long
I've been gone to long

Don't fall to peace sales
Don't do up
Or give down
Keep your eyes on the road
Cant stop the world
Cant stop the phones
And I cant turn around
But I cant turn around

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I don't know what I was thinking
I've been gone to long

[Chorus]

The strange life
So random yeah
It's over you
I understand
What can I do to get to you?
Oh
What can I do to get to you?

How far will you go?
How deep is your love?
Your bodies bruised and on fire
Cant stop the world
Cant stop desire

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I don't know what I was thinking
I've been gone to long

[Chorus]

I've been gone to long

Frontline

I haven't been to hell and back
Cause baby I'm still here
Standing on the frontline
Devil gotta do our time
I miss my wife and family
They move heaven and earth for me
I'm hold on to what I'm the missing most
You and baby and the holy ghost

Whatcha' need is just what you deserve
Whatcha' need
Whatcha' need

[Chorus]
Don't wait up baby
Don't wait for love
Don't wake up baby
Gonna bring you my love

In the arms of friendly fire
Everyone has the same desire
All the heroes so long gone
Gotta have the spirit and a loaded gun
Hand shakes my heart is empty
I go wherever they send me
Say it loud when you said freedom
This is the time for the killing season

Whatcha need is just what you deserve
Whatcha need
Whatcha need

[Chorus: x2]

Gonna bring you my love
My love
Gonna bring you my love
Hey
And my love
Gonna bring you my
Love hey

I stick around
I put everything in its place
I stick around
Everywhere I see your face

[Chorus]

I'm gonna bring you my love
I'm gonna bring you my love

Yeah

Forever May You Run

Take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself
The silent sounds of yesterday
The ghost of you dancing in the hallway

Lunar to base
Lets get this on
The kids have gone mad, they've been insane all along.

Forever may you run

Don't deserve to get lost
Soon come the waves will stop
The still of the night
Silhouettes in the half light
May your struggles all be won

Lunar to base
Lets get this on
The kids have gone mad, they've been insane all along.

Forever may you run
Forever may you

I'm looking into the end
I've got nowhere left to go
I get so in between
Didn't make it to the disco
The treasures in bed
Been trying to find the king
Lunar he was busy
Jesus wasn't there

There is no other road
We'll have to wait before we go
So let the heat come in
Where you end
I begin

Forever may you run

The Skin I'm In

There may be rocks in the water
Still the roof longs
When this sea gets so rough
Bring it all back home
You give me reason to beat it
Reason to make it through
There's beauty in all kinds of danger
But none so beautiful as you

I will make you come again
To the house on the hill
Where we first began
And this
Is the skin
I'm in
This is the skin I'm in

There may be permanent detractors
Some I used to know
There may be eminent danger
Road blocks with avalanche snow
You give me reason to be better
You give me something new
You give hope and you give yourself
What more can you do

And I will make you come again
To the house on the hill
Where we first began
And this
(This is the skin)
Is the skin
(This is the skin)
I'm in
(This is the skin)
This is the skin I'm in

Mornings still loves you automatic
Carries you away
Further
Further down

I will make you come again
To the house on the hill
Where we first began
I won't see you again
Woman I'm already missing you
We have everything to lose

And this
(This is the skin)
Is the skin
(This is the skin)
I'm in
(This is the skin)
This is the skin I'm in
This is the skin I'm in
(This is the skin)
This is the skin I'm in
(This is the skin)
This is the skin I'm in
(This is the skin)

Morning still loves you automatic
This is the skin I'm in
(This is the skin)
This is the skin I'm in
(This is the skin)
This
Is the skin
That I'm in

Drive

Through the rain you come
Stones in the road
You're a champion
From another world
Eat yourself in turn
Better stay strong
You're the only one
Knows how to turn it on
Wash the stains away
With alcohol
Reach my memory
Make a version snow
I want to remember
How it used to be
When I knew the sharks
That were in my sea

[Chorus]
Call it a landslide
Feels the earth is not on my side
Call it a landslide
Better get in my car and drive

There once was a house
My home used to be
Then the storm came
Took it all from me
Now the animals
Have been displaced
I don't know where they are
Don't know if they're safe

[Chorus]

Better get in my car and drive

Don't wanna be hunted down alive
She says baby I
Don't wanna be more dead than alive
Alive
Alive
She said
(She said)
(She said)

Through the rain you come
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

Call it a landslide
Call it a landslide
Call it a landslide

Call it a landslide

Future World

Oh my did you hurt me so much you don't care just how you rip me up
Oh tear drop you know you make me so sad this heartbeat could be my last
Jesus wants to save me
But the devil just makes me do it again

[Chorus]
It's a future world
The questions and answers
Some things can't be explained
Can't you take your chances
Future world
Of fire line cables
A gift to you while I am able

There is a girl who says she loves me but I got worry on both my arms
I got this razor but it just cuts me up I want to look better but I feel worse
I jump in the ocean
But my head comes up
Just as a wave breaks

[Chorus]

Hard wire cables
I run to you
I run for ages

You will never get it die for you
I know there's pain in everything we do
Hamburgers so that we stay alive
Happy meals means something died

It's a future world
Questions and answers
Some things can't be explained
It's a future world
Of fire line cables
I give to you what I am able

[Chorus]

Of hard wire cables
I run to you
I run for ages

No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I got to get myself back
I got to get myself

It's a future world
It's a future world

It's a future world

And I give to you
What I am able

No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
And I got to get myself back
And I got to get myself

It's a future world

Love Remains The Same

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like lunar landing
You make me wanna run till I find you
I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But, love remains the same

Find a place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city bus sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I have to find just where you are
The faces seem to blur
They're all the same

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But, love remains the same

So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me now
We shall overcome
So all that's left is praying

But we, should have had the sun
We could have been inside
Instead we're over here

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change

I, oh I,
I wish this could last forever
I, oh I,
as if we could last forever

Love remains the same
Love remains the same

If You're Not with Us You Are Against Us

If you're not with us you are against us

I love you now
But I've loved you not
I am a run away
That turned to dust
I just hope to find a way to keep it together
Shocks me how we beat the weather
Too much time done on fighting
Ocean feels of dying
There's no need to be afraid
When the tea is on it's way
To the night we go again
Yeah

[Chorus]
Bravery if you are against us
Bravery if you think you can take us
Bravery if you think you can beat us
If you're not with us you are against us

We have human rights
Too many wrongs
It's so damn hard
Since you've been gone
Give me those I give
And those I take
Whatever you
Please don't break
I need you now
More than before
I look around
See strangers more

There's no need to be afraid
Saraton on it's way
Into the night we go again
Yeah

[Chorus: x2]

The summer roll
Into tomorrow
I got regrets
Still make you hollow
Colors in the mirror
Everyday, yeah, is getting clearer

If you're not with us
If you're not with us
If you're not with us
You are against us
If you're not with us
You are against us

[Chorus: x2]

If you're not with us then you are against us

This Is Happiness

Pleasure comes in all disguises
To each their own their devices
Anything you need, anything at all

I have a range of different advises
A treasure chest to keep you biting
Adrenaline souls looking for the rush

That was my favorite New York
You are the sea so I dive in you
Yeah

[Chorus]
This is happiness
Dig yourself right back out
Never thought it would come to this
Never thought we would get so far down


Last time I felt this good
She was the fire, I was the wood
I love your mouth
I love all your breath

That was my favorite New York
You are the sea so I dive in you
Yeah

[Chorus]

You make me so much better
I hope I don't make you worse
I'll meet you somewhere in there
If you get there first
Where have you been

That was my favorite New York

You make me so much better
I hope I don't make you worse
I'll meet you somewhere in there
If you get there first

Where have you been
Where have you been
Where have you been

That was my favorite New York

This is happiness
This is happiness
Dig yourself right back out
Dig yourself right back out

Outta my mind again
Outta my face again
Outta my head again
Outta this world again

Outta the place I'm in
Outta the state I'm in
Outta the car I'm in
Outta the skin I'm in
Outta my mind again

Outta my mind again
Outta my mind again

Another Night in the Hills

Exiles and strangers
Living in danger
Hollywood faces
Can you take it to the races

She's the devil made of coal
Truth's that nobody knows
He's a gambler and a cheat
He got very small feet
He got very small feet

If there is forgiveness
I haven't seen it
Don't let your friends
Fall to pieces

[Chorus]
Another night in the hills (another night in the hills)
On a buffet of pills (la la la la)
True work of art
Is how we got his far

Exiles and strangers
See black beat braces
I have 26 problems
I want you to have them

She likes cocaine
Right over my brain
She's the one to get famous
She the movers and shakers (shakers)

If there is forgiveness
I haven't seen it
Don't let your friends
Fall to pieces

[Chorus]

True work of art
Is how we got his far [Repeat: x 2]

What!

I used to work for the government
But I became ambivalent
I used to think that I cared
Then I got

How did we get this far

The Trouble I'm In

Who do you lie between?
Who has love?
Give it like poppy-seed
Flow in the blood

[Chorus]
I don't want to fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war
You get so less dying again and again

You got to let me in
You got to let me in
She's under my skin
She's out of my skin

I'm looking for a scientist
I don't want to live
I'm looking for a dark turn
To get me fixed

[Chorus]

You got to let me in (you got to let me in)
You got to let me in ( you got to let me in)
She's under my skin (she's under my skin)
She's out of my skin (she's out of my skin)

All the trouble I'm in (I the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm)

All eyes are watching me
A Stranger in this town
I must have lost my way
Since I...took a turn a while ago

These streets
I do not know

Who do you lie between?
Who has your love?

I don't want to fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war

You got to let me in (you got to let me in)
You got to let me in ( you got to let me in)
She's under my skin (she's under my skin)
She's out of my skin (she's out of my skin)

All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)

Beauty in the Beast

In the heart of the city,
I'm awake now,
The buzz open to the night.
You're the libertine.
You're philistine
When I first saw you,
I knew I was done.

You are feel again,
You. I arise
Feeling invincible, this moment?s mine.

[Chorus]
Strangers, landscapes,
See the sky flip inside out,
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you round.
There's danger in the street,
That's the beauty in the beast.
There's danger in the street,
That's the beauty in the beast.

In a blink of an eye,
You seem to get me.
You are my fox and I can't see your eye
I am the wheel,
The knob of my heart,
I know this road goes back to the star.

You are feel again,
You. I rise
Feeling invincible this moments mine.

[Chorus]

Yellow moon works when everyone's asleep.
Sometimes what you want is just out of reach.

[Chorus]

Strangers, landscapes,
See the sky flip inside out
How you make me turn around
Turning nightmares into dreams that bring you round

Theres danger in the street [Repeat: x 5]

Thats the beauty in the beast
