2. I need time, could you explain
I’ve been caught up in my pain
And it’s really not the same
You can see it

I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me

(Verse)
3.I can’t filter what I’ve lost, see my face and see the cost
All the good that just got tossed, and I keep kneeling
And I don’t know what to bring, I get pissed at everything
I need you to see me sing, keep me believing

(Chorus)
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me

Am C Cmaj7 G D Dsus2
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do-oo-oo Lord

Don’t let me be the same

(Verse)

4. Well I followed you for years
I got pain and I got fears
Then there’s moments when it clears
And I’ve been waiting

(Chorus)
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
I got nothing left to be, do you have some plans for me
Do you have some plans for me

I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do-oo-oo Lord
I know you do-oo-oo Lord
(For me, for me)
(For me, for me)

These lyrics look pretty accurate. More so than usual are they from the source or your interpretation?

These are just MY interpretation, with the exception of the two Lou songs, which Lou himself posted on his forum (as mind_glow pointed out).

I don’t know if I’ve just been listening to J for so long now that it’s getting easier for me to understand him or if he actually sings with more clarity on the new album, but it did seem easier than usual to figure out these lyrics. There’s still a few lines I’m not sure about, I’ll have to wait to listen to it on my vinyl copy ( ) to really hear them!

And on the subject, I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the new lyrics being "lazy", but they seem like standard J lyrics to me. I think they go well with the songs, anyway. Even the lyrics to I Don’t Wanna Go There work for the song in my opinion.

Here’s the J on BBC6 interview as an mp3. I cut out all of the rest, so it’s just the J part-

Some of my BEYOND lyric interpretations:

ALMOST READY
I been askin’ ’round if you were there
Askin’ but I’m always scared
Askin’ cuz I wanna care again

C’mon Light, I’m almost ready
Not right, I’m almost ready

I been wonderin’ if the message sent
Wonderin’ if I made a dent
Wonderin’ what it is you meant again

C’mon Light, I’m almost ready
Not right, I’m almost ready

Do you see me there, cuz I’m not sure
See me there cuz I lost my nerve
See me there cuz I feel worse again

C’mon Light, I’m almost ready
Not right, I’m almost ready

When you find the truth, I will attack
Find the truth, I won’t go back
Find the truth, I’m way off track again

C’mon Light, I’m almost ready
Not right, I’m almost ready

C’mon Light, I’m almost ready
Not right, I’m almost ready
I’m almost ready
I’m almost ready

CRUMBLE
I got nothin’ where I’ve been
Will you bring me there again?
No one ever understands
You won’t change to help ’em
I got lost inside a lie
With a smile you made it die
I’m not there and you know why
And I’ll run, it gets ’em home, home

Can I be there all the time?
Can I stop to wonder why?
Will I crumble, will I fly?
And I gotta break it
Will I be in time to see?
Will it run over me?
Can I fake out just a week (just too weak?)?
You know I can’t take it home, home

Held a picture yesterday
Held a picture of a moment in my room
How long? How long? How long?

Do you have time for me again?
Or will you flatten me instead?
Tried to hear the things you said,
feel like I almost had it
But I don’t have it at all
And I’m sweatin’, trying to stall
till I think I heard a call
Howl if you’re just laughin’ on, on, on, on

Held a picture yesterday
Held a picture of a moment in my room
How long? How long? How long?

PICK ME UP
Later on, I was tired (out of fire?)
Not too strong, not inspired
I been holdin’ off so long
Can’t admit that I was wrong
I been strong, but I been weak (weird?)
Can’t admit I disappeared

But I’ve gone
All along

Pick me up, keep me idlin’
I’m in luck, you’re still smiling
I’ve been wasting all these years
Still you haven’t disappeared
I been lifted, I been wrong
And I don’t think I belong
Am I wrong all along?

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Can we walk? Will I squirm?
Could I reach you? I’ll learn
I can’t stop, it’s always been
I feel useless, you just smile
Can I scream? Am I hurt?
I still miss you, I still burn
Can I lend to your will?
Know I need to, haven’t learned

THIS IS ALL I CAME TO DO
*(this isn’t one of my faves, so i didn’t try too hard)
Take my problems, take me any place
Take my mi-mi-mind as well
I’ve been trying, I got nothin’ left
It’s down to you, as you can tell

And it bothers me, I mope and whine
And I needed more, than I had time

This is all I came to do,
This is all I came to do Lord, do Lord

I need much more than I had before
Gimme, mi-mi-might as well
I been waitin’ here, got nothing done
I been lonely, you can tell

And I wanted to every day
And I wanted love to give away, I pray I get it

This is all I came to do,
This is all I came to do Lord, do Lord

Hate to say it, but you told me so
I tricked my mi-mi-mind, it’s true
And I thought how loud (?) I could be
Please just tell me what to do Lord, do Lord

BEEN THERE ALL THE TIME
*(another of my least faves)
Can I fix it and still care?
Can I run, and you’ll be there?
Wishin’ I could run and hide
Jugglin’ messages inside

Stallin’, tryin’ to buy more time

Can I be a part of you?
How to get there, what to do?
Can I get there from inside?
Of all the ways I could’ve tried

Can I be there all the time?

Is it all on me?

Can I feel another way?
Can I bring it out to stay?
Can you capture what I’ve done?
Play it back so I don’t run

Now I’m walkin’ on the sun

Is it all on me?

It’s not mine,
Take me, fine,
With a smile, I know you’ve been there all the time

Is it all on me?

IT’S ME
I know the only way, you said it’s not me
I know the only way, you said it can’t be
I thought I knew the way, I thought I knew the way

To find a way, the only way, it’s me
Your eyes are lost, use your way to see
To find a way, the only thing you need
It’s gonna hurt, and by the way, it’s me

I know the only way, said it’s not me
I know the only way, said it can’t be
I thought I knew the way, I thought I knew the way

To find a way, the only way, it’s me
Your eyes are lost, use your way to see
To find a way, the only thing you need
It’s gonna hurt, and by the way, it’s me

I know why, I know why
If I can find, will you believe?
And if I, and if I
If I can let you on my knee
Please

I know why, I know why
If I can find, will you believe?
And if I, and if I
If I can let you on my knee
Please

To find a way, the only way, it’s me
Your eyes are lost, use your way to see
To find a way, the only thing you need
It’s gonna hurt, and by the way, it’s me
It’s me, it’s me

WE’RE NOT ALONE
I’ve been lying softly, glued to the ground
I don’t need to listen, I just need a sound
Piece it all together, help me out
When it’s almost over, there’s a doubt to get through

I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say
Be around
I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say
Be around

Keep an eye on my eye, keep me straight
Keep an eye on every move I make, you thinker
Keep the past out of my weathered hair
Keep me guessing, keep me, keep me in all the air

I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say
Be around
I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say, I wanted you to say
Be around
Like you are now
and you know how

If you say, we’re not alone
If you say, we’re not alone
If you say, we’re not alone
If you say, we’re not alone
If you say, we’re not alone
If you say, we’re not alone

I GOT LOST
And I know the way I feel it
All the way, all the way Lord
Feels the same, but I mean it
I’ve been cold, I’ve been cold Lord

And I know the way, and I leave it
It’s been done, it’s been done Lord
I got lost again, can’t feel it
Pull me back, pull me back Lord

And I have a place, can I keep it
For a while, for a while Lord
I got lost again, but I need it
Pull me back, pull me back Lord

Can we be the same again?
Can we be the same again?
Can we be the same again?
Can we be the same Lord?

WHAT IF I KNEW
Ankle deep and wonderin’ why I’m full of doubt
All this thinkin’s stoppin’ me from helpin’ out
I can’t say I wasn’t warned
I’ve been trying but I’m torn

Is it you, who?
Is it me who wanted to?
Is it three, what if I knew?
If we could find another way, love
If we could go back a few more days

Readin’, fadin’, contemplating all my love
Penetrated by the wasteland I’ve become
I don’t wanna go through more
I don’t know what to try for

Is it you, who?
Is it me who wanted to?
Is it three, what if I knew?
If we could find another way, love
If we could go back a few more days now
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
Take it back and run away
