A Lyrics by Cartel

Chroma

2005

[Intro]
And you can take this however you want
Yeah you can take this however you want
And don't be so so sure this is all it adds up to
You…

[Verse 1]
You're justified
But there's no justice if it's just a lie
No, go and find yourself
You will if you look inside
And I'll never know (And you never will)
Still I'll never know (And you won't until someone stands up, then you'll get some answers)

[Pre-Chorus]
And you can take this however you want
Yeah you can take this however you want
Just don't waste your breath unless you can save us
And tell me can you
Can you save us?

[Chorus]
Can you save
Can you save us?
This can't go on
Without the meaning in the rhyme
Can you save
Can you save us?
I can't go on
Out of rhythm with our time
Can you save
Can you save us?
I can't go on without the meaning in the rhyme
Can you save
Can you save us?
I can't go on
Out of rhythm with our time

[Bridge]
(Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives) And tell me, can you save us?
(Oh at least we know that if we died) Oh at least we know that if we died
(We lived with passion
They said we burned so bright)
They said we burned so bright
Bright (Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
Bright
Oh…
(They said we're wasting our lives)
But we're not wasting our lives (Oh at least we know that if we died)
And if we died
(We lived with passion, they said we burned so bright)
Oh maybe you, oh maybe you
Oh, maybe you can save us (Oh, oh, oh our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
(They said we're wasting our lives)
(Oh, at least we know that if we died)
(We lived with passion, they said we burned so bright)
(They said we burned so bright)

(We run and we run)
(We know there's an answer)
(We know by going home we'll find it by ourselves)
(Whoa)
(We run and we run)

(We know there's an answer
We know by going home we'll find it by ourselves)


When what you want is what you're getting
When what you want is what you're getting
They're catching onto us
When what you want is what you're getting
They're catching onto us
When what you want is what you're getting
They're catching onto us
When what you want is what you're getting
They're catching onto us
When what you want is what you're getting
They're catching onto us
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa (When all you can do is hide)
(Don't be afraid)
(When all you can do is hide, oh, oh
Don't be afraid)
(They're catching onto us)
(But I won't…)
(When all you can do is hide
Don't be afraid)
(When all you can do is hide
Don't be afraid)
(Oh, baby)
(All you can do is hide)

(We know there's an answer
We know by going home we'll find it by ourselves)
(Oh…We know there's an answer
We know by going home we'll find it by ourselves)
