Kings Of Leon - When You See Yourself Album Lyrics

Ooh
Ooh

The space in time would benefit
I've seen your kind at your very best
This long goodbye is overdue
You never came when I called on you

The bastard wind is on your back
The rabid dog has caught your track
The golden age of old advice
Don't give no cause or alibi

One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night we'll be safe dear
One more night, one more night
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here

We're crystalized it's dawned on you
You have the face of someone new
The pleasures of this life I'm told
Will spit you out in the middle of the road
A scenic place the sky grows cold

One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night we'll be safe dear
One more night, one more night
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here

Ooh
When you see yourself, are you far away?
Is it night or day?
Ooh
When it comes to you if you reach the moon
Can I be there too?
Ooh
When you see yourself, are you far away?
Is it night or day?
Ooh
When it comes to you if you reach the moon
Can I be there too?

Chiseled their names in stone
Heavy the load you tow
And the red horse is always close
And the fire don't burn below

Two hundred miles to clear
Chasing a sound I hear
When the call brings them all to tears
And the hopes they all turn to fears

And they're walking around
With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded
Must catch the bandit

Track in the dirt for days
Sniff out the fire ablaze
And the red door, it seems to sway
And it carries a heavy weight

And they're walking around
With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded
Must catch the bandit

And they're walking around
With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded
Must catch the bandit

Rake at the moon where the river flows
Cut from the cloth of the winter's cold
Bound by the voice that no one hears
I've been around the way for years
Stray from the heart the more that you know
All gussied up with no place to go
Table side the one of your dreams
Get what you want and not what you need

Parlor games and six o'clock news
Hands of a stranger touching you
Wide awake incased in a dream
Everything is not as it seems
All your time is heaven sent
Days and the nights all start to blend
It's not like this town to set you free
The more you look the less you see

The tables set, the rose is out
You know what it is
Miles away from places you have been
The call was made to pull the shades
The start of something new
Still nothing makes me feel the way
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do

The ones they say have come here before
All gather 'round in the corridor
I can't seem to place your name
Nor the face that I can't explain
In my mind you're everything
Lips don't move but voices still ring
The light inside has lost its glow
The more you see the less you know

The tables set, the rose is out
You know what this is
Miles away from places you have been
The call was made to pull the shades
The start of something new
Still nothing makes me feel the way
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do

The seasons change
My mind erased
The stars all fade
But one remains the same

You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do

Your style
Your grace
Unveil the face
Only to say
Nothing takes the place

You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do

Four in the morning

Came and you left without warning

Looking for a good time lover

A right now man



Running like a bull of Pamplona

Try as I might to control you

You're like smoke in my eyes

Close every time



Face of a starchild

Born in a sea, a mile high

Never seen a bad moon rise

It's the right time now, oh



Time away from here has never felt so long

Find your souvenir and make your way back home



I see stormy weather (weather)

This could be the place, the place

(Better) better late than never (never)

This is just a taste, a taste



Working the floor on the weekend

No one can spin it like we can

With no time to explain

You put a face to the name



The weight of the evening

Christ, I've been taking a beating

I could be your good time lover

Your right now man, oh



Time away from here has never felt so long

Quiet in the air never too far gone

Chasing through the night out there on your own

Find your souvenir and make your way back home



I see stormy weather (weather)

This could be the place, the place

(Better) better late than never (never)

This is just a taste

It's the right time now, oh

Oh wave crash down on me
Until I'm whole again
Like days of old
I see myself and rise
I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go

A taste as bitter as before
We could waste all the best of times 'til we know
That lights and shapes they only fade
In the hold that washes all away

What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave

The rose's thorn still reaches out to pierce my skin
It grows me a warm and cloudys up my mind
Everybody has an opinion
And I don't like most of them
'Cause the life that we live is better living
Living alone

The taste, as bitter as before
We could waste all the best of times 'til we know
That lights and shapes they only fade
In the hold that washes all away

What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave

I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go

What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave

You smile

Your lips beguile

You look impeccable

Cutting through the room like a knife

Sharpened leather fastened tight

Oh so insatiable



It's such a sight

An apparition holding tight

Never to shy from the scene

Splash of sound

Just a bellow bouncin' 'round

There is a quiet to your scream



They fall, you rise

It's here, your time



The golden restless age

Time won't turn the page

You're only passing through a form of you

I look in your eyes and there's a rage

And time won't turn the page

It hits you headlong to go it alone



See the eyes how they shimmer

And how they shine

It's only personal

I watch you fall, breakneek speed

Lie in wait

Aching to feel it all

The cause, effect

The line is set



The golden restless age

Time won't turn the page

You're only passing through a form of you

I look in your eyes and there's a rage

Time won't turn the page

It hits you headlong to go it alone



They fall, you rise

It's here, your time



The golden restless age

Time won't turn the page

You're only passing through a form of you

I look in your eyes and there's a rage

And time won't turn the page

It hits you headlong to go it alone

Blind attraction, chain reaction
What you have is mine
Persian ivy running wildly
Ashes left behind
Come a little closer, come a little
Closer now to the edge
Winds are blowing, fires glowing
Dancing in your head

Grand occasion conversation
Light the crowded room
No one knows which way we're going
But we'll get there soon
Run from the mountain, poison the fountain
Just for the peace of mind
Back of the alley, they seem to rally
All people of their kind

Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?
It's just time in disguise

Congregated late arrival only passing through
Prairie garden cold and hard
Waiting there for you
So come a little closer, come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Bold distraction taking action
Going where you're led

Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?

Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Winds are blowing, fires glowing
Dancing in your head

Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?
It's just time in disguise

Come a little closer, come a little closer

Sweet ocean liner, come and anchor down
Sea of forgiveness, see what I have found
It's long and lanky, awkward at times
I'm going nowhere if you got the time

And it's a long hard road 'til I can get to you
And I'll be holding on, hoping the sun comes shining through

I'm going nowhere, if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere, with you on my mind

I took to driving, to see what I would find
Place in history, little peace of mind
Know what you're thinking
I know just what you mean
I'll never be whole again 'til I get clean

And it's a long hard road 'til I can get to you
And I'll be holding on, hoping the sun comes shining through

I'm going nowhere if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere with you on my mind
I'm going nowhere, won't you stop by?
I'm going nowhere if you've got the time

I'm going nowhere if you've got the time
I'm going nowhere with you on my mind
I'm going nowhere, won't you stop by?
I'm going nowhere if you got the time

Sister ride sister ride if you wanna
To a place I know that we can go
Where the hills come together
We can take it slow until you come around

There's a glow at the face of the canyon
And a sound blowing 'round
That says you're nowhere you've ever been before

Take a plunge into the Colorado River
Where you feel yourself for the very first time
I knew you'd be a friend of mine

Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, a story so old but still so original

You drift in and out like a thunder
And force my hand to get you out of here
Somewhere we can disappear
This is love although you've never seen it
We knew in time it had to be one of us
Never felt a warmer touch

Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, a story so old but still so original

Ooh, fire's gonna rage if people don't change
Ooh, I'm chemically inclined to say what's on my mind
Ooh, you're getting pretty close, but you've got a little ways to go
Ooh, the story so old but still so original

You really laid it on the line, line, line, line, line, line, line
Oh, hit me one more time, time, time, time, time, time, time
You really laid it on the line, line, line, line, line, line, line
Oh baby hit me one more time, time, time, time, time, time, time

Waking early in the morning
Waiting on the light of day
Whole new kind of feeling is on the way
I'm not scared of knowing
If we're ever getting out
We could be here forever without a doubt

Time is always higher learning
I'm still barely making grades
Just about imagination anyway
We are circling the wagons
Lining up in a single file
Members of the jury are standing trial

Waiting on a memory
Waiting on a memory, oh

Said if you love me and you're willing to dance
We could take it to the high seas
Echoing, echoing where do we stand

My heart's hard of hearing
My head's full of sand
Feet point both directions if you need a hand
Black water reflection
Lost in a city park
I can't find my way through the dark

Waiting on a memory
Waiting on a memory, oh

Said if you love me and you're willing to dance
We could take it to the high seas
Echoing, echoing where do we stand
We'll be sailing on a wild breeze
Oh, if you love me and you're willing to dance
We could take it to high seas
Echoing, echoing, echoing

Someone's gonna tell the story
Sing from the mountain high
Worked my way from glory
We saw the moon in the sky

Inconsistent love masked in a fairytale
Played along and you wear it well
Fall apart when the timings right
Pacing the floor 'til the morning light

There will be a time out there on the line
When you know you've had enough
Plant a little seed down there on your knees
When you know you've got the stuff, ah

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
Keep it all the rage and they'll stand in line
Heard your little cause playing on the radio
It's getting good, real good at getting old

Always just away
Everybody says
You could be here when you're home
You never say goodbye
Or look me in the eye
I'll love you 'til the day is gone

I can see my feet
Planted on the street
Rumbling like a waterfall
At my own device
I can scale the ice
Waiting for the warm to come, ah

And the words always get in the way
It cuts you down just the same
I can't wait to see what you find
And the sun will find its place to shine, ah
Ah
