lyrics

all we want
© ℗ 2013 C. Rose

sometimes when there's nothing left to say
better to embrace the silence
let the feelings fade

words can make make me want to turn away
startle my defenses as you try to explain
corroding all my senses until nothing here remains
________

all we want is love
all we need is time
this is no confession
there has been no crime
what we have is this
all we want is more
can we find tomorrow
what we had before
________

sometimes when there's nothing left to give
there is no disgrace in silence
let the moment breathe

apologies just make me want to scream
words that may erase the shame but leave behind
the broken faith that caused the pain
________

all we want is love
all we need is time
this is no confession
there has been no crime
what we have is this
all we want is more
can we find tomorrow
what we had before
________

sometimes you just have to step away
(hold me now)
to understand the meaning of the play
(hold me now)
sometimes when there's nowhere else to go
(hold me now)
all that's left to give up is control
________

maybe we could make another plan
maybe we could build another
castle in the sand

or maybe you could simply hold my hand
remind of the people who we used to be
before we lost ourselves to this destiny
________

all we want is love
all we need is time
this is no confession
there has been no crime
what we have is this
all we want is more
can we find tomorrow
what we had before

This Year, Next Year, Sometime . . . ?
by Mirrors

The music of Mirrors just blows me away...old school analog synths and sequencers...compelling and plaintive vocals...it's everything synthpop should be. Maxwell's Complex
