Grannis, Kina - Next Time Lyrics






Well I believe in a land
A land where fairy tales await
Kisses hang on hooks like bait
And swing slowly back and forth
Before the faces of two lonely souls
This land in which I'm speaking of
Houses such hatred, grief and love
So many wild and crazy things
Emotions you would never dream of
Yet they're tearing through
Your burdened heart, your soaking eyes

And I think it's time
I realized the strange reality
That this life, this land
Is here and now and this person is me
But I'm not gonna waste this moment next time

Now when the night has found its end
You're sitting with that special friend
A pause, it drifts between then and your departure
Don't walk away, that's unwanted space
Lingering between you and the other
Move in, move in, move in for the kill

And I think it's time
I realized the strange reality
That this life, this land
Is here and now and this person is me

You will not forgive yourself
You will not move gracefully forward, no
You will dwell, oh will you ever
It's hell, let me tell you, oh
Sit all night, waste this moment
No, I will never waste this moment
Said I will not waste this moment next time, no

    whoa o.0 why was it in english book? for linguistical references or something like that? just interested, not stalkerish =p

  3. K.... ....

    This is amazing. Just as good, if not better, than the album version. I'm left wondering how many more videos you recorded during this time that you've never shared. Honestly, you know us Kinerds would love to see all of it. And also you should take your time with the new album. We have plenty of your beautiful music to hold us over and we will definitely not forget about you. I myself would rather you go about live at an easy pace and enjoy yourself to the fullest. Take your time. :)

  10. G.... ....

    i love it! :)
    awesome!!

  11. s.... ....

    I've watched this video many times and I always wondered why you were clearly unhappy at the end of the song, because it was a very good performance. I think I *finally* realized why you were unhappy. It sounds like you messed up the word "gracefully," so I'm guessing that you were pissed that you made a mistake near the end of the song. Don't know how I never noticed it before—probably because the song is mesmerizing.

  12. J.... K....

    how did you do that word "dream" with those.. I don't know what it's called but seriously.. that was awesome!!

  13. J.... R....

    Throw away song??? No way!!! By the time the song was finished I had tears running down my face.
