When I'm done with thinking
then I'm done with you
When I'm done with crying
then I'm done with you
When I feel so tired
then I'm done with you
Everybody feels this way sometimes
everybody feels this way
And I do
You can't hear it but I do
You can't hear it but I do
You're trying to convince me
that what I've done's not right
I get so frustrated
I stay up every night
You ask me for an answer
I'm so tired and I'm up in the air
Everybody feels this way sometimes
everybody feels this way
And I do
You can't hear it but I do
You can't hear it but I'm feeling
this way just because you say
I will be ignored
I will be denied
I could be erased
I could be brushed aside
I will get scared
and I will get shoved down
But I feel like I do
because you push me around
I'm starting to ignore you
I've doubted you so long
I'm tired of overthinking
I know you don't belong
Now I'm asking questions
no one pushes me around
Everybody feels this way sometimes
everybody feels this way
And I do
You can't hear it but I do
You don't seem angry but I do
I do I do I do
You don't seem angry but I do
You can't hear it but I do

She wanted to be a cowboy,
she was shootin' 'em down,
she was tramping around.

He walked in crooked with the clear blue eyes.
"There's a nice pool at my motel - you want to go for a swim?"
That night he moved in.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is
sometimes called falling in love.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is
sometimes called falling in love.

At night she'd wait for the sound of his feet on the doormat,
the sound of his hand on the doorknob,
the sound of her heart beating in her head.
He'd go out playing nickel slots, cause he knew he'd lose -
She didn't know, so she couldn't choose.

One night while sleeping alone in her bed,
the phone rang, shewoke up, and sat up and said,
"What time is it? What time is it?

"Well, it's 5:30 here and it's 2:30 there,
and I won't be home tonight," he said.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is
sometimes called falling in love.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is

Now she sits in a booth in a diner,
waiting for someone to take her order,
waiting for someone to come and sit down.

She rubs the smudge off the photograph, puts it back into her purse.
The grey sky was romantic cause he was holding her hand,
he was her man.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is
sometimes called falling in love.

She wanted to be a cowboy,

This isn't what I like to call flattery,
But I know that I believe that I've found what's true,
That I've found what's you.
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally.
Truthfully you
You helped me find at last.
Truthfully we
Are finding out what's true.
And Truthfully I am finding out what's you.
Surprise, cause I was flying the plane.
Surprise, cause now I'm smiling again.
Surprise, cause you showed up with your parachute.
Surprise, I'm kind of happy you showed up.
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally.
Truthfully you
You helped me find at last.
Truthfully we
Are finding out what's true.
And Truthfully I am finding out what's you.
Truthfully, I really can't explain, I'm floating, I'm smiling again.
Truthfully, I can't ignore you, cause I've been waiting for you.
Truthfully, I'm not desperate, I haven't changed my mind since we first met,
But the last thing that I want to do is to tell you that I'm right for you.
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally.
Truthfully you
You helped me find at last.
Truthfully we
Are finding out what's true.
And Truthfully I am finding out what's you.
I'm finding finally.
Truthfully, I'm finding out what's you.
I'm smiling again.
Truthfully

I told you I was sorry, I told you I was wrong,
I said it was an accident and don't tell anyone.
But you love to circle round and round, you're so misunderstood.
Yeah, you love to circle round and round & you know that we should
Forget about it -
Let's forget about it
You lied about how much you knew, I thought you were my friend.
You lied upon the mattress, c'mon tell me where you've been.
You lied about this night apart, you lied about the room.
If you're gonna have to lie to me then
Let's forget about it
Let's forget about it
I'll stop crying on the mountain that we made from a molehill where we
Spilt the milk.
So you say this never happened, perhaps not the way I thought.
Did I throw this out of focus - or was it just the way we fought?
That is seemed to me you this girl, but you swear to God it's not.
Let's forget about it
Let's forget about it
I'll stop crying, if you'll stop.
I'll stop crying, if you'll stop.
I'll stop crying, if you'll stop lying to me.

I didn't come this far for you to make this hard for me.
And now you want to ask me "how"?
It's like - How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

Why did you come here?
You weren't invited.
You were on the outside - Stay on the outside.
And now you want to ask me "why"?
It's like - why does your heart beat, and how do you cry?
How does your heart beat?

And there are some things that I'd like to figure out.
There are some things that I can do without -
like you, and your letters that go on forever,
and you, and the people taht were never friends.

With all the things that you could be,
you never could learn how to be me.
And now you want to ask me "how"?
It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

"It's not really poetry, but it's pretty," he said.
As he raises his voice, she lowers her head.
"It makes my heart heavy, you're lonely, I think.
Oh, Rose, you're sad, I suppose."
"Look in her bed and she's bound to be sleeping.
She's lying there dead. - No, she's breathing."
Furious Rose, with your opiate eyes,
your languorous hum, that tone of surprise
I've heard energy in adversity.
Your smile: the soul of witchery.
You're not running away,
You're not running - are you?
Lyrically longing, she's tearing the words from the page.
She's fearfully seething.
"Bring me your blessings, a prayer, or a new pen.
- You don't know what I need."
"Look in my bed and I'm bound to be sleeping,
I'm lying there dead, but I'm breathing.
And I'm barely balancing as it is,
And I don't want to drown in my dreams
Bring me wild plums and agrimony
I bet you don't even know what that means."
Furious Rose with your opiate eyes,
Your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
I've heard energy in adversity.
Your smile: the soul of witchery.
You're not running away,
you're not running - are you?
Gingerly peering, over his shoulder, removed herself from the room.
She's terribly freezing, she always knows when to go.

No teacher to follow, no prophet to tell me how,
But I know what I want, I know what I want now.
Like water, it rushes,
it's the last thing you see when you close your eyes,
it's the one place you want to be.
But if it doesn't brush my shoulder, and it doesn't beat my heart,
that's not what I want, that's not where I will start.
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart,
that's not what I want.
If you don't know what you're missing
cause you don't know where to start,
follow your wishing heart.
I was restless, X4
I just want this to be good, X2
But you don't understand,
You don't understand me, and I want to be understood.
But if it doesn't brush my shoulder,
And it doesn't beat my heart,
That's not what I want - no, that's not where I will start.
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart,
That's not what I want.
If we all leap before we crawl, we might fall,
And it's not always candy spun from head to heart,
And it's not always meant to be,
And it's not always up to me.
But if it doesn't brush my shoulders, and it doesn't beat my heart.
That's not what I want, that's not where I will start.
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart,
That's not what I want.
If you don't know what you're missing,
'Cause you don't know where to start,
You don't know what you're missing
Follow your wishing heart.

you want to dance with the angels?
then embroider me with gold, and i will fly with the angels,
and you can dance with me.

sing with the angels?
then show me a song and i will strum with the angels,
and you can sing with me.

but you want to fall fashionably in love with a woman,
in love with a life you'll adore, in love with a woman you'll adore.

under my wings, you'll start to ask yourself,
under my wings, you'll learn to fly.
under my wings, you'll come to understand how to hold on - if you want to.

or you can dream of the frog legs sitting in the church
in the glass, in the sand where your foot steps.
or you can dream of the angels in the air -
don't you see me?
i float in skies, in your eyes, in your eyes.

you want to dance with the angels?
then embroider me with gold, and i will fly with the angels,
and you can dance with me.

under my wings, you'll start to look for me.
under my wings, you'll want to cry sometimes.
under my wings, you'll find someone to hold onto - if you want to.

you want to dance with the angels?
then embroider me with gold, and i will fly with the angels,
and you can dance with me.

I'm going as far as
I can go
away from here
Away from you Jake
and the hole you've sunk me into

I wish that I could belong here
with you
and just be
but that's not all that
I'm about

Your life is built on accidents
like meeting me
You write everything down i
n your grocery list
people do this
Even insects buzz like airplans
why can't we fly away
I'm going as far as I can go

Your dad died
cause his heart hurt
arking away his forty five years
dragging your mom along
I don't want that
netiher do you
Neither do you
If I am not fun
and I am not interesting
perhaps I am not
interested in you
neither are you
You can't stand in front of an over
cause it's warm
and the fumes are dangerous

I'm going as far as I can go
away from here
away from you Jake
and the hole you've sunk me into

I wish that I could belong here
with you and just be
but that's not all that
I'm about to do

In an open room that echoes well, this is where I can tell you everything.
This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
This is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.
You're so still,
You're so safe,
Appear severe,
You are so nonchalant.
I'm so still
I'm so safe,
Appear severe,
I am not.
This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
I told David I won't die, and this is how I watch the sky,
That is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.
You're so still,
You save face.
Try to erase all you feel inside.
Stand still,
I save face,
I misplace all the feelings I can't hide.
Of all the rooms I've loved before it's you I love inside this room
They test me can I train my evil eye to see like they do -
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Of all the rooms I've loved before,
It's you I love.
This is how I meet my muse.

I did not want to be stuck
One second longer than I had to be there,
Stuck inside the door.
I'm always scared I'll slam my fingers in the door
Because the last time that I left
I slammed my fingers in the door.
When you want to get out,
You get up, and walk straight to the door.
Not stop and think about it,
Thinking that one second longer
That a car could hit me in it
If I thought more than I did.

You want to suffer and show me you're angry.
Fight with your fists up or call for you mommy.
You want to suffer and show me you're angry.
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement.
Drink water and gold dust and live on impatience.
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static.
Slaughtered, you're weak - there's no need to speak.
You chang your shoelaces.
I light firecrackers.
You step on the sparks.
You change your shoelaces,
I light firecrackers.
I shouldn't be any great inspiration,
I never got in your way.
I should never have to chase you.
I was the one who got away.
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
You would have stopped before you spoke.
Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me.
The gift that you gave me, I put it away.
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you.
You get in the way.
You change your shoelaces.
I light firecrackers.
You step on the sparks.
You change your shoelaces.
I light firecrackers.
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement.
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience.
Electric like static, and no need to speak.
It's not right, but it's not wrong.
So I wrote this song.
I wrote this song - is that what you want.
You got what you want - does it make you feel better?
With a smirk on your face and a gun at my head,
You come to my place and ask to be fed.
You change your shoelaces.
I light firecrackers.
You step on the sparks.
You change your shoelaces.
I light firecrackers.
You get in the way.
You get in the way.
You want to suffer and show me you're angry.
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy.
You want to suffer and show me you're angry.

I could be trembling when I talk to you.
I could be making up all sorts of things that are not true.
I could tell a half truth, but I can not tell a lie.
I could tell a story that is ten feet high.
My stomach flutters, and I feel sometimes ashamed;
I'm a castle with broken shutters and
this is not a guessing game.
I could make a plea so that you and I could be we, and
I could say, "Oh, it's a must that you and I should be us."
All the answers I could guess, and you would be so impressed,
but I would never get a "yes", cause I have not the guts to guess.
My stomach flutters, and I feel sometimes ashamed;
I'm a castle with broken shutters and
this is not a guessing game.
I could be listening, but this is not a guessing game.
I'd guess all the answers, but this is not the same.
I could be trembling, I could be afraid,
I could be wallowing, wallowing when you think I've got it made.

If I hold my breath
If I shut my eyes
If I disappear
Just for the afternoon
If I can't help shouting
If I lock you out
If it's not important
Completely unimportant
To anyone else but me
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
If I interrupt
And if I cut you off
And if I like attention
And other worse things I could mention
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
But if you make a mistake
We're through

We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
We could still belong together
And together is so much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
Oh wow
This I complicate
I know
It's just my way
But "If" is the question that I ask
And nothing more

You say I only hear what I want to
And you say I talk so all the time- so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong
'Cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you

And you say I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
I don't pay attention to the distance
That you're running or to
Anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearing negative, no no no- bad

So I turned the radio on, turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
The lover's in love and the other's run away
The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
And some of us hover when we weep
For the other who was dying
Since the day they were born
Well, this is not that
I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown

And I thought I'd live forever
But now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow
Or anywhere with you

And you said that I was naive
But I thought that I was strong
I thought, "Hey, I can leave, I can leave"
But now I know that I was wrong
Cause I missed you
Yeah, I missed you

You said, "You caught me cause you want me
And one day I'll let you go"
You try to give away a keeper
Or keep me cause you know
You're just so scared to lose

And you say, Stay

You say I only hear what I want to

Try me on, take me home
The tags are on, it's still a loan
Warranty is in the sack
You can always take me back

And go
Window shopping again
Window shopping again

Scan the shelves for something red
It's different, It's brighter than
The ones you had to have
They didn't last, they just fade


And you go
Window shopping again
Window shopping again
There's no stopping your
Window shopping
Window shopping again

There's miles and miles
Of strip mall smiles
Waiting to take you home
And all the conversations
Not so subtle invitations
But isn't that what this is all about?

Oops, there's a hole in the shrink wrap
You didn't notice that?
Lucky you, they'll take it back
The warranty is in the sack
Besides, there's always something more
Something better, a bigger store
To go

Window shopping again
Window shopping again
There's no stopping your
Window shopping
Window shopping again

Try me on, take me home
The tags are on, it's still a loan
Warranty is in the sack
You can always take me back

I control the sun, I turn on the stars
I make all the colors that you see as you circle me
I open up the sky, I control the speed
I can make the green lights flash, I can make you crash

Barely makes a sound
You stop when you slow down
But I can't make you
See things the way I see things
I can't make you
Feel things the way I feel them
I can't wait around for you
I've got better things to do

'Cause I control the sun, I cool down the heat
I can make the walls spin around and raise the ground
I control the world, I can make it flat
I can make the water deep so I can save you from the sea

Stop when you seem down
Afraid that you would drown
But I can't make you
See things the way I see things
I can't make you
Feel things the way I feel them
I can't wait around for you
I've got better things to do

I pushed every button, I pulled every string
I've tried every lever, I've tried everything

Barely makes a sound
You stop when you slow down
Now I can't make you
See things the way I see things
I can't make you
Feel things the way I feel them
I can't wait around for you
I've got better things to do

No, I can't make you
See things the way I see things
I can't make you
Feel things the way I feel them
I can't wait around for you
I've got better things to do

'Cause I control the sun
I control the sun
If I can control the sun
Then why can't I have you?
I've got better things to do

Everybody go
The party's over
I want to be alone in my head
In my bed tonight
You never show

You must really love her
You think I don't know
But I do, yeah it's true
I think over is over

I'm right back where I started
(when it comes to wanting you)
I can't have what I wanted

[Chorus]
But I did, I can
I was, I am
Only human, living, dying
Just like any fool who ever breathed
If love is blind
If love's a drug
It always is
It always was and
Love was surely made for fools like me

I know where I'm going
I'm tripping I'm sliding around
That's ok
At least I'm excited
It wasn't how I planned it
(wasn't how I planned it
Feet are where I landed
At least I understand it now)
My feet are where I landed
(feet are staying on the ground)
[Chorus]

Fools like me
Fools like me

I did, I can
I was, I am
Only human, living, dying
Just like any fool who ever breathed

Maybe it's the sanest thing
Or just the sweetest kind of dream
But love was surely made for fools
(Love was surely made for fools)
Love was surely made for fools
(Love was surely made for fools)
Love was surely made for fools like me

what's the difference between you and me
to me it's kind of small
to you it's like prison
what's the difference between you and me
to me it almost happens
to you it almost isn't
how did you become so sure

your girlfriend never smiles
and no one ever calls
you begin to wonder if they were your friends at all
you frown
you take a look around
you shout
this will never get better

but the doubt that you grow
when you feel desprouted
turning your field into a deeper valley

Chorus
you'd find
(I know you'll find)
the mountains aren't so high
(the mountains aren't so high)
if you'd only try
(OooOooOooh)

to do better

it's 9:33 and the traffic, the stoplight
somebody hits you
nothing ever goes right
and the gridlock
nothing ever goes right

and it's just a little scratch
not a permanent scar
it's just a tiny dent
you don't need a new car
it's just a little mess
your dreams aren't shattered
you climb up
while I hold the ladder
Chorus

but how many times I've tried
how many time I've missed and I've tried
how many times I've tried
how many time I've missed and I've tried

when everything's so difficult
I feel so alone
but I find a better view
on the other side of the window

so that's the difference between you and me
what if you believe that the grass could grow
up through the snow
it's possible
Chorus
to do better than get by
Chorus
to do better
Chorus
to do better than get by

Diamonds are a ritual
A prize in a Cracker Jack
A name that you won't get back
Diamonds are a runaround
A game you can't win
While you wait for your life to begin

Miss the party, drink the punch
The drunk ones are the lucky bunch

Diamonds play single
So sharp and abrasive
Just look at their poor faces, it's sad
It's not in the cards for them
Look down at their hands
You'll see nothing, just emptiness and misery

Miss the party, drink the punch
The drunk ones are the lucky bunch
Drink till they can't tell what's wrong
Drink till they can't tell what's wrong

Diamonds are a piece of twine
A seal on the envelope
Some guarantee of hope
Diamonds are just rocks that shine
So I'm not the diamond kind
I'll never see a diamond mine

Miss the party, drink the punch
The drunk ones are the lucky bunch
'Cause they can't remember when they've had such a bad time
No, they can't remember when they've had such a bad time
No, they can't remember when they've had such a bad time

Except they make diamond rings
And diamonds are the hardest things

If it's really love you'd follow it forever
Would you wander for me?
Even though you think I'm lost and you know better
Would you wander for me?

Cause wandering is more than filling footprints right behind me
How far would you go outside the lines if just to find me?

Letting go of anything that grounds us
Would you wander for me?
Even though there's darkness all around us
Would you wander for me?
Cause I've wandered for you

Wandering is more than filling footprints right behind me
How far would you go outside the lines if just to find me?
When you see that I have gone to the edge and way beyond
Would you, would you, would you wander for me?

It doesn't matter where we are, we can be our northern star
Far above the earth and weather together

Cause wandering is more than filling footprints right behind me
How far would you go outside the lines if just to find me?
When you see that I have gone to the edge and way beyond
Would you, would you, would you wander for me?

If it's really love you'd follow it forever
Would you wander for me?

I probably want to hold your hand
I probably want to kiss you
you'll probably misunderstand
I'll probably miss you
lately it seem nothing's clear
I probably need my glasses
you come in and out of focus
I wonder if you notice

Chorus
I probably love you
I probably love you
the grass is probably green
the sky is probably blue
I'd probably do anything for you
I probably love you

you probably know just what I'm thinking
you probably don't feel like I do
you probably think I'm crazy
it's probably true
lately everything's changed
I hardly know who I am
my heart pounds
I can't sleep
I've come to this conclusion
Chorus

what is it about you
that makes you different from the rest
you touch a part of me
I didn't know exsists

I probably love you
probably do
Chorus
I probably love you
I probably love you
probably

The heir is introduced
She waltzes through her ballroom
Swirling in her sequins, showing off her gown
She steps on her own train
She falls, she cracks her jaw
Aghast her husband giggles
He gasps
She slipped on spilled champaigne

Chorus:
And we crowd around the accident
We want to see the worst
We crowd around the accident
We want to see what hurts

They're leaning in the corner
He's buried in a baggie
They say he's mischevious sometimes
She's pretty, and her elbows are so pointy
They're dangerous talking in the locker room
His nose bleeds so profusely
But no one tell him he's the star
They watch like at the movies that he's famous for

CHORUS

Two stories about to fall
Boasting at the swing set, marching down the hall
She yelled, 'cause he upset her desk
Don't yell
He's picking sides, he's hitching rides to school
His father left in winter
He's no one's son
If I can poke her with a pencil, I can pop her with a gun

CHORUS

We think...
I'm glad it wasn't me
And turn up the TV
And squeeze our eyes shut, but leave a space to see

Lucky me
how bad could it be
to be alone for now
to be free

Oh, don't cry
the time, it passes by
just think of what you'll get when you're past this

So is it allright if I go?
Is it allright if I go?

Oh, don't cry
just think about the end
I'll find my best friend
at last

Lucky me
I'm ready for a ride
I'll jump off and take a drive
today
So is it allright if I go?
Is it allright if I go?
Is it allright if I go?

Oh, don't cry
it's time to say goodbye.

So is it allright if I go?
Is it allright if I go?

Oh, when I turned five I got a piece of cake,
the corner with the rose.
I leaned in close,
and I told him that I loved him, and he ran.
It made my heart stop.
It made my heart stop.

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop,
even though it feels like it could explode.
Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop,
it beats on and on and on.

And in the afternoon I put on my best swimming suit,
and spied across the pool at all my friends,
but I sat on the steps, in the shallow end alone
because my heart stopped.
It made my heart stop.

I didn't get what I expected.
Reached out and I got rejected.
I couldn't have it cause I checked it off.
Felt sad, I didn't understand it.
Why would this happen to me?
But my heart, it didn't stop,
it beat on and on and on.

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop,
even though it feels like it could explode.
Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop,
it beats on and on and on.

you say i only hear what i want to

you say i talk so all the time so
and i thought what i felt was simple
and i thought that i don't belong
and now that i am leaving
now i know that i did something wrong
cause i missed you
yeah i missed you

you say i only hear what i want to
i don't listen hard
i don't pay attention to
the distance that you're running
or to anyone anywhere
don't understand if you really care
i'm only hearing negative no no no
so i turned the radio on
i turned the radio up
and this woman was singing my song
the lover's in love
and the other's run away
the lover is crying
cause the other won't stay
some of us hover when we
weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born
well this is not that
i think that i'm throwing
but i'm thrown
and i thought I'd live forever
but now i'm not so sure
you try to tell me that i'm clever
but that won't take me anyhow
or anywhere with you
you said that i was naive
and i thought that i was strong
i thought
hey i can leave
i can leave
but now i know that i was wrong
cause i missed you

I missed you
cause you want me and
one day you'll let me go you try
to give away a keeper
or keep me
cause you know
you're just
scared to lose
and you say stay

Yesterday has been and gone
Tommorow will I find the sun
Or will it rain

Everybody's having fun
Except me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I say goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

I've been the king
I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't
hold me down
I'm free again

The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain
I say goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

And I feel the time is right
Although I know that
you just might say to me
What'cha gonna do
What'cha gonna do
But I have to take
this chance goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come on now

I say goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

And the weather's looking fine
And I think
the sun will shine again

And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again

I say goodbye to romance yeah
Goodbye to friends I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

( from anywhere but here soundtrack )
I wish for a place where the earth doesn't shake
If the earth won't be still, then I will
And my friends can be my family
And they can be my company
And I'll take them to a party and we'll have fun
Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here
I wish for a place where it's not such a waste
I can tell the girls my name
It's okay although it's plain


Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here
If I could sleep, then I could dream of what you promised me
And everything would seem better than it is
I wish for a place that I could go
Cause everything here moves so slow
Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here
I wish for a place where the earth doesn't shake
If the earth won't be still then you and I will
Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here

I kept talking to myself
I had to get the words out of my head
So I did
You barely said a thing
You kind of heard me out and then you said
You said:
"You're crazy, why do you keep doing this?
Everything is fine."
Then I think, I'm crazy
I do this all the time
Until I start to think that nothing's even wrong
Maybe I am
Hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it
The way it really is
Sometimes your intentions
Are totally impossible to read
What does that mean?
Sometimes even I
Have no idea what I need
I wish I did.
I'm crazy
Why do I keep doing this?
Everything is fine.
Then you think I'm crazy
I do this all the time
Until I start to think
That something's really wrong
Looking out my window
At the big blue sky
Lazy sun shining and so I run outside
To look for you
I look for you
And then it starts to rain
Maybe I am
Is that the way it really is?
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't want to see it
The way it really isMaybe I don't want to see it
Maybe I don't want to see it
The way it really is
The way it really is
The way it really is
The way it really is

I was quiet, and I was tired.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop,
yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
You were wrong, and I was right.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well,
this is something that
I shouldn't have to tell you.
We've shared humility and orange roses.
And poking fun at all our friends
They had their barbecues,
we have our arguments.
We never can agree.
You said,
when you don't talk you take it out on me.
I was quiet, I was tired.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop,
yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
And you were wrong and I was right.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well,
this is something that
I shouldn't have to tell you.
We took a ride, on a motorbike.
I couldn't talk to you, but my arms
Were wrapped around you tight.
we stopped at Smokey's,
We parked the bike outside.
So scared to be sad, to keep the tears in
And I looked up at the sky
and took another ride.
I was quiet, and I was tired.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop,
yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
And you were wrong and I was right.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well.
We had us, is that enough?
and what is it worth to you?
We had us, is that enough?
and what is it worth to you?
You said "it's worth everything
and baby take a look,
It's worth all the pennies in my pocket.
But I was quiet, and I was tired.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop,
yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
I was quiet, and I was tired.
and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well,
this is something that I shouldn't
Have to tell you.
I was quiet, and I was tired.
and I wanted you to bring me up
I wanted you to make it stop,
yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
So I was wrong and you were right.
Bring me home..

I like things that are so good.
you are so so good.
I like you. but I am the underdog,
I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy,
don't stand in back of me.
Freezing, boring,
wondering where I'll be on my birthday.
You kissed me in a dream last night,
how could I
I wouldn't know, cause I am the underdog.
I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy don't stand in back of me
Will you be my friend?
Now I understand, that I more than like you.
I am the underdog I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy don't stand in back of me

I am the underdog. I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy don't stand in back of me
I am the underdog. I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy, don't be the enemy.

I like things that are so good,
you are so so good.

Goodbye my love, I am going.
I am slowing you down.
I can feel you stop breathing,
when I come around.
I'm slowing you down
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back
and just stands in my way.

Goodbye my love, you don't get me
You don't let me inside
You once kept me close,
when you wanted to hide
You pulled me in close,
just to push me aside, goodbye.
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back just to stand in my way.

Goodbye my love, I'm going away.
I know you won't follow me far.
Once I went out, just to look at the stars.
I asked you to join me, but you were too tired.
I wanted you, to see them too.
Why did I let myself need you?

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Goodbye my love, I am going
I am slowing you down.
I can feel you stop breathing
when I come around.
I'm slowing you down.
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back just to stand in my way.

Who do you think you are?
You're talking so loud
You bury the sound
Of your heart that's singing out
And where do you want to be?
On top of the world
But you're just a girl
Who forgot what it's like to dream
Leave everything behind
But you're so tired
One day you might open up your eyes and find
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
You try to hide between the lines
Of a story never told
But I've seen you run away
You're afraid of the fall
The weight of it all is too much
But you might change your mind
If you'd stand up one day
You might open up your eyes and findLa da da da...
How do you keep it up?
It's all just a front
A dangerous stunt
You're gonna come down soon enough
Open up your eyes
Don't be scared
You might find you had it all the time
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you tried so hard to hide
It was there between the lines
Of the story never told
Of someone you should know
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know

I walked away to get wisdom
But in the end I just walked home
And it drops me drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
It was the same song and
it's making me sad
Cause I think that it's happened
And it hasn't been had
And it drops me drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
And I'm injured again
Yeah it's sick and I'm sucked in
Yeah I'm at it again
It's sick and I'm sucked in
It's sick and I'm sucked in

Cause I had some things so dear
Slip away and leave me here
And it drops me drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
Yeah it drops me drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again

If I hold my breath
If I shut my eyes
If I disappear
Just for the afternoon
If I can't help shouting
If I lock you out
If it's not important
Completely unimportant
To anyone else but me
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
If I interrupt
And if I cut you off
And if I like attention
And other worse things I could mention
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
But if you make a mistake
We're through

We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
We could still belong together
And together is so much better
We're o.k.
So hey don't worry now
Oh wow
Oh wow
This I complicate
I know
It's just my way
But "If" is the question that I ask
And nothing more

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going
We sit on our couch
While we watch our TV
And the phone doesn't ring
And it's perfect
To be here playing house
Is no comfort to me
It's just more of the same
Again and again and again
We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going
Trying so hard
To dig ourselves out
Cause we're stuck and we're scared
And we're thinking
Things have to change
It's the thoughts that don't count
Can something be done?
Don't let this decision drag on
We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going
We need a big push
To reach the right conclusion
So we can get there
If we're really going
If we're really going
Let's go.
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
To reach the right conclusion
We need a kick start
We need a kick start

She's got a boyfriend
All of a sudden
She's never had one before
She's looking for the thumbs-up
When they're walking through the door

She's showing him off
By making him talk
She's putting his hand in his pocket
It shows on her face
What she doesn't say
What she doesn't say
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all

She doesn't know that we know
That we've been here before
We always pay attention
When she walks through the door
It's the clothes that she chooses
It's the words that she uses
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all

She's trying hard to pretend
That it's not really happening
But we can see her smiling from afar
We don't see her much anymore
But we can hear her whistling
As she walks to her car

You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all

Is this how it ends, laying in bed
Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever, they wanted to know how could I leave you.
I can't tell them that. it might sound like revenge.
Some things don't need a payback. some things are sure, some things
You can't feel safe about. where do I start?
I was waiting for my head to clear up. I thought I was smart
I'd find the answers in time.
But the answers I find, aren't what you want to hear. they're not even close.
Some things don't need a payback. some things are sure
Some things you can' t feel safe about.
Some things don't need a clear up.
You got that?
I remember good things like the van breaking down.
I sat on your lap in the auto repair and you touched my hair.
While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside.
Don't take revenge. just let it lie.
The easiest thing, is if you just let it die.
Don't give me a chance. You don't owe me that.
Don't follow me out, I'll think your coming for some payback
Some things don't need a payback. some things are sure
Some things you can't feel safe about.
Some things don't need a clear up. You got that?
Why did I leave? How long did it take? It could take forever
Some things don't need a payback
You got that, you got that?

Driving I was...thinking
You're my flat tire
Too late at night in the pitch black, out of sight
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
Driving I was...thinking
You're my flat tire
Not a blow out, but a screeching halt, lots of ice, no salt
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
Don't want to think about how much, and what's the limit
Don't want to think about the limit and am I in it
Am I in it?
Am I in it?
Am I in it?
Am I in it?
Driving I was...thinking
You're my flat tire
You're gonna crash, you're stupid loud
You're reckless, you're spinning out
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving

They pull up their chairs to the table
She stares at the food on her plate
At the toast and the butter
Her father, her mother, she pushes away
And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
She gets home from school too early
And closes the door to her room
There's nothing inside her
She's weak and she's tired of feeling like this
And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
They call her for dinner, she makes up a reason
She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves
And her mother is starting to see through her lies
And last night her father had tears in his eyes
And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
And we rise in the morning
And we sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart

Sorry sir I stole your money
Sorry sir I feel but it's so
so twisted So unreal
It was what I'd heard of
And what I didn't have
But I cannot give
what I do not have
And I cannot take
what I do not have
I can't take it
Don't stultify
Don't hold me high
Don't stultify
Don't hold me high

Too many things held precious
Too many things held dear
That's what I hate
That's what I fear
Too much to ask for
May leave me feeling lonely
But too little
leaves me nothing nothing
The drone in your voice
and the fly on the wall said
It's over it's over it's over it is
What do I wish for you
what do I wish
It's over it's over it is
Are we still solemn and bleeding
Are we still swimming to water
that was wet
You can't give away certain things
that you get

From the outside To the inside
I couldn't tell you
how it really was
There has to be more on one hand
Keep your head above water
on the other the other
The drone in your voice
and the fly on the wall said
It's over it's over it's over it is
What do I wish for you
what do I wish
It's over it's over it is
Are we still solemn and bleeding
Are we still swimming to water
that was already wet
I can forgive but I won't forget

I'll wish for you
I'll plead and I'll steal
Hold me precious hold me dear
I'll wish for you
I'll sing and I'll feel
Don't stultify
don't hold me high

Like a Gothic staple a last good bye
One way to float is if you die
And it's over it's over it's over
It's over it's over it's over
It's over it's over

It’s a bad day. It’s a train ride. It’s a bad day. You’re my medicine It’s a snow day. It’s a full moon. It’s a snow day. When’d you get down to my bones? Where’ll I find that wishing stone?

do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore? do you sleep anymore? do you take plight on my tongue like lead? do you fall gracefully into bed anymore? i saw you as you walked across my room. you looked out the window, you looked at the moon. and you sat on the corner of my bed, and you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will see you again. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will be there. do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? do you sleep, do you keep me anymore? you kick my foot under the table, i kick you back; i can't say i'm able to stand for you or fall for you ever again. wish for a perfect setting? wishing that i am letting you take me where you want me all over again? you can't give yourself absolutely to someone else. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will see you again. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will be there. i saw you as you walked across my room. you looked out the window, you looked at the moon. and you sat on the corner of my bed, and you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head. do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore? do you sleep anymore? i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will be there.

Skeleton boy by the side of the road. He warned me, he told me; He said, ’there’s this woman, she’s a hurricane, She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying.’ She said, ’don’t look for holidays. Don’t look, just run away. Go suffocate, and choke your own cry. Go where the water, Where the water, seeps from the pink sky. But behead this woman, she’s a hurricane, She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying. Remember your reflection in a pool, in a puddle.’ And the leaves sped top-speed towards me, And my image was muddled. I’m a lightheaded wonder, Don’t you see my mind slow down? I’m a lightheaded wonder Don’t you see my mind slow down? Slow down. I’ve compassion for strangers, An affinity for danger Won’t you be my sacrifice? I’m a lightheaded wonder Don’t you see my mind slow down for you? And for you? ’ No you’re a headless woman, you’re a hurricane. You will heal my heart up? No, I will heal my own heart up, because you are hurting. Cause I’m a sunburn slap upon your arm, I’ll twist you til you break, And you’re a hurricane.

Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide. Shabby tried to comb her hair with the gift from her grandma, her blood. Tangled she got halfway. Sticky and powdered with dirt from the ground where her mamma had left her, Had left her, had left her. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide, With your eyes open wide. Rusty the screen door, she opened it. Raised from the ground. Mamma left me her ring, mamma left me no family, Just barstools, and boyfriends, and whiskey at nighttime, and bedtime, Bedtime, bedtime, bedtime. I'll go with the man who looks like my father, The neighbors all tell me to go with him. He better take caution, he better take care of me, 'Cause if he don't he, better beware of me. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide, With your eyes open wide, With your eyes open wide, Wide, wide, wide, Eyes open wide.

She can’t tell me that all of the love songs have been written, ’cause she’s never been in love with you before. Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood. Your hair falls soft like animals. I’m tryin’ to keep cool, but everyone likes you. I want to kiss the back of your neck, The top of your spine where your hair hits, And gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep, I’ll talk you to sleep. But I’ll be the one, I will have chosen. I’m tryin’ to keep cool, but everyone here likes you I’m not the only one. Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood. Your hair falls soft like animals, And nothing else matters to me. She can’t tell me that all of the love songs have been written, ’cause she’s never been in love with you before, In love with you before. Your hand, So hot, Burns a hole in My hand. I wanted to show you.

I want to be by myself, sometimes I do. I don’t want to be left behind, but sometimes I’m left by you. I press my tongue to the top of my mouth, Cause my jaw, was tired from the thinking. And I stretched my toes to the end of the couch, ’cause my back, it was aching from sleeping. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, And why do I feel so alone? And when will it snow, it’s been raining for hours, And why do I feel so alone? And when I’m left at home, when you’re with someone else I’m all alone. You do not cheat me of my childhood. You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts. There is no anger with the eyebrow raised. When you do the fantastic I am amazed. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, And why do I feel so alone? When will it snow, it’s been raining for hours, And why do I feel so alone? You were leaving some bar, and you’re coming downtown, You’re not ripping out stitches, but you want me around. Just to call you my love, just to call you my love. You are the treasure custodian cleaning the moon for me. Scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright. You stand straight-faced, and tip-toed on top of a ladder, And i, I wait, and i, I wait, and i, I wait. And when I’m left at home, I’m all alone But I’d rather be alone with you. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, And why do I feel so alone? When will it snow, it’s been raining for hours, And why do I feel so alone? Oh, why do I feel so alone?

Who would steal on sunday
Who'd made them believe
make believe
Who'd buy a prayer
when you can pray for free
If the way you drank your coffee
was the way you looked at me
Then I could take both my hands
off the tv
I've been sleeping on half
of my bed lately
And thinking about
what you said to me
you're tipsy you're turning
you are alive you are burning

Lisa won't you listen
The moon shines for you
You're tipsy you're turning
you are alive you are burning

A sweet man will sing
a seafaring song
And a dear strong woman
coos gently along
Good guys at the cozy are servin'
folks for free
ever notice there are so many people
in bands in the city
I've been sleeping on half
of my bed lately
And thinking about
what you said to me
you're tipsy you're turning
you are alive you are burning

And I will not judge you
by the way you play your instrument
No that's true as fiction
sometimes I do
But the moon shines halfway
sometimes too
Lisa won't you listen
The moon shines for you
You're tipsy and turning
you've got one foot on the floor
You're alive you are burning
You always wanted more

i see the lights move on the ceiling. i see the stars up in the lights. i see the moonbeams on your forehead there, and i think about the garden of delights. you see the curtains draped in front of me. you see the sun come up alone. you want to show me just what you can see, and i, i turn away. you see my face, you hate my words, i hate you too. you see my heart, it likes the feeling that it gets when I'm with you. i look right at your eyes, i look right through your eyes. i change conversation thought for you. i throw a look that you can't catch from far behind, and you, you turn away. you are my jesus boy, you're laying on a bedly cross, i've got you taped up to the wall. but really don't feel bad 'cause you do to me all the things i do to you. i do to you. i see the lights move on the ceiling, i see the stars up in the lights. i see the moonbeams on your forehead there and i think about the garden of delights.

you say i only hear what i want to

you say i talk so all the time so
and i thought what i felt was simple
and i thought that i don't belong
and now that i am leaving
now i know that i did something wrong
cause i missed you
yeah i missed you

you say i only hear what i want to
i don't listen hard
i don't pay attention to
the distance that you're running
or to anyone anywhere
don't understand if you really care
i'm only hearing negative no no no
so i turned the radio on
i turned the radio up
and this woman was singing my song
the lover's in love
and the other's run away
the lover is crying
cause the other won't stay
some of us hover when we
weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born
well this is not that
i think that i'm throwing
but i'm thrown
and i thought I'd live forever
but now i'm not so sure
you try to tell me that i'm clever
but that won't take me anyhow
or anywhere with you
you said that i was naive
and i thought that i was strong
i thought
hey i can leave
i can leave
but now i know that i was wrong
cause i missed you

I missed you
cause you want me and
one day you'll let me go you try
to give away a keeper
or keep me
cause you know
you're just
scared to lose
and you say stay

Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A handful of thorns and
You'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
When you say the word "mine"

I wanna see what's never been seen
I wanna live that age old dream
Come on, boys, let's get together
Let's take the best right now
Take the best right now

Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and
You'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
When you say the word "mine"

I wanna go to an old hoe-down

Long ago in a western town
Pick me up when my feet are draggin'
Give me a lift and i'll hay your wagon

Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A handful of thorns and
You'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
When you say the word "mine"

Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A handful of thorns and
You'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
When you say the word "mine"
Mine, mine, mine

It’s a bad day.
It’s a train ride.
It’s a bad day.
You’re my medicine
It’s a snow day.
It’s a full moon.
It’s a snow day.
When’d you get down to my bones?
Where’ll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records,
All the calls, and the drinks alone.
First by mind, then by music you’ll make this all less confusing.
It’s a slow dive down,
A fast distraction,
A strange fall forward
My lame reaction.
It’s a bad day.
It’s a long ride.
It s a bad day.
You’re my medicine
It’s a sinking feeling,
Pulls me through the seat of chairs.
When will you come rescue me,
Find solace, and then take me there?
You’ll say, ’you re not too tired for this life,
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You’re not too tired for this life, and
It’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice. ’
When’ d you get down to my bones?
Where’ ll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records, all the calls, and the drinks alone.
It’s a bad day.
Two miles to go.
It’s a bad day.
You’re my medicine
You’ll say, ’you’re not too tired for this life,
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice
You’re not too tired for this life, and it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You’re not too tired for this life, and it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
If you fall down, if you fall down.’
You’re my medicine x4
My medicine.
My medicine.

Skeleton boy by the side of the road.
He warned me, he told me;
He said, ’there’s this woman, she’s a hurricane,
She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying.’
She said, ’don’t look for holidays.
Don’t look, just run away.
Go suffocate, and choke your own cry.
Go where the water,
Where the water, seeps from the pink sky.
But behead this woman, she’s a hurricane,
She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying.
Remember your reflection in a pool, in a puddle.’
And the leaves sped top-speed towards me,
And my image was muddled.
I’m a lightheaded wonder,
Don’t you see my mind slow down?
I’m a lightheaded wonder
Don’t you see my mind slow down?
Slow down.
I’ve compassion for strangers,
An affinity for danger
Won’t you be my sacrifice?
I’m a lightheaded wonder
Don’t you see my mind slow down for you?
And for you? ’
No you’re a headless woman, you’re a hurricane.
You will heal my heart up?
No, I will heal my own heart up, because you are hurting.
Cause I’m a sunburn slap upon your arm,
I’ll twist you til you break,
And you’re a hurricane.

Come back home where the three orange suns
They set in the bottom of the globe yeah now.
Come back home where the three purple moons
They set in the bottom of the water yeah now.
You know that I've been there, and
I think you should beware; that
You know they all had faces too,
Like me.
Now hadrian's wall, will not return,
It's crumbled to the land of nowhere;
No one sees it, no one hears it anymore.
And it scrapes my hands across the pavement,
Just to think about it,
Like the world around you does.
And you put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
And you but on your crown.
Yeah, you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away like dorothy and her dog.
Put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
And you put on your crown.
Yeah, you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away just to come back.
Come back.
Come back home
Where the blue lights glow, and
The red ones glow 'til tomorrow yeah now.
Come back home
Where the three purple moons
They set in the bottom of the water yeah now.
You know that I've been there, and
I think you should beware; that
You know they all had faces too,


Like me.
When the wrinkles in your wrist are yelling,
'it won't hurt a bit!'
But you know it will,
'cause tears and excuses wipe you off your feet
Yeah tears and excuses wipe you off your feet
Like the world around you does.
And it wipes you off your feet, like the world around you does.
And it scrapes you hands across the pavement,
Like the world around you does.
And you wish the world would,
Yeah you wish the world would change.
And you wish the world would,
Yeah you wish the world would change.
Change.
Change.
Now hadrian's wall, will not return,
It's crumbled to the land of nowhere;
No one sees it, no one hears it anymore.
And it scrapes my hands across the pavement,
Just to think about it,
Like the world around you does.
And you put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
And you but on your crown.
Yeah, you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away like dorothy and her dog.
Put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
Put on your crown.
And you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away just to come back.
Come back.
Come back.

Sorry sir I stole your money
Sorry sir I feel but it's so
so twisted So unreal
It was what I'd heard of
And what I didn't have
But I cannot give
what I do not have
And I cannot take
what I do not have
I can't take it
Don't stultify
Don't hold me high
Don't stultify
Don't hold me high

Too many things held precious
Too many things held dear
That's what I hate
That's what I fear
Too much to ask for
May leave me feeling lonely
But too little
leaves me nothing nothing
The drone in your voice
and the fly on the wall said
It's over it's over it's over it is
What do I wish for you
what do I wish
It's over it's over it is
Are we still solemn and bleeding
Are we still swimming to water
that was wet
You can't give away certain things
that you get

From the outside To the inside
I couldn't tell you
how it really was
There has to be more on one hand
Keep your head above water
on the other the other
The drone in your voice
and the fly on the wall said
It's over it's over it's over it is
What do I wish for you
what do I wish
It's over it's over it is
Are we still solemn and bleeding
Are we still swimming to water
that was already wet
I can forgive but I won't forget

I'll wish for you
I'll plead and I'll steal
Hold me precious hold me dear
I'll wish for you
I'll sing and I'll feel
Don't stultify
don't hold me high

Like a Gothic staple a last good bye
One way to float is if you die
And it's over it's over it's over
It's over it's over it's over
It's over it's over

In an open room that echoes well, this is where I can tell you everything.
This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
This is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.
You're so still,
You're so safe,
Appear severe,
You are so nonchalant.
I'm so still
I'm so safe,
Appear severe,
I am not.
This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
I told David I won't die, and this is how I watch the sky,
That is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.
You're so still,
You save face.
Try to erase all you feel inside.
Stand still,
I save face,
I misplace all the feelings I can't hide.
Of all the rooms I've loved before it's you I love inside this room
They test me can I train my evil eye to see like they do -
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Of all the rooms I've loved before,
It's you I love.
This is how I meet my muse.

Days were different when you counted them in hours.
There were some things that she never wanted again.
In fragmented words, too weak to hear,
There were some things that she never wanted again.
Like: do you want to be the man she once knew?
Do you want to be the woman she knew too.
Days were different when you counted them in hours.
There were some things that she never wanted again.
Like, she won't talk of blocks, and of time,
And of clocks and how they bind.
And the days that have passed so fast that you might
Bring the past to the present, and say it is your future life.
I'm waking up from a bed of past lives lived,


'cause I'm living my life 'half-life, half-lived.'
Days were different when you counted them in hours.
There were some things that she never wanted again.
In fragmented words, too weak to hear,
There were some things that she never wanted again.
Like: do you want to be the man she once knew?
Do you want to be the woman she knew too.
Do you want to be the woman
She was you.
Days are different now,
They are ours.
And days are different now,
They are mine.

I could be trembling when I talk to you.
I could be making up all sorts of things that are not true.
I could tell a half truth, but I can not tell a lie.
I could tell a story that is ten feet high.
My stomach flutters, and I feel sometimes ashamed;
I'm a castle with broken shutters and
this is not a guessing game.
I could make a plea so that you and I could be we, and
I could say, "Oh, it's a must that you and I should be us."
All the answers I could guess, and you would be so impressed,
but I would never get a "yes", cause I have not the guts to guess.
My stomach flutters, and I feel sometimes ashamed;
I'm a castle with broken shutters and
this is not a guessing game.
I could be listening, but this is not a guessing game.
I'd guess all the answers, but this is not the same.
I could be trembling, I could be afraid,
I could be wallowing, wallowing when you think I've got it made.

do you eat sleep
do you breathe me anymore
do you sleep do you
count sheep anymore
do you sleep anymore

do you take plight
on my tongue like lead
do you fall gracefully
into bed anymore

I saw you as you walked
across my room
you looked out the window
you looked at the moon
and you sat on the corner of my bed
and you smoked with the ghost
in the back of my head
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will see you again
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will be there

do you eat sleep
do you breathe me anymore
do you sleep
do you keep me anymore

you kick my foot under the table
I kick you back
I can't say i'm able to
stand for you or
fall for you ever again
wish for a perfect setting
wishing that I am letting you
take me where you want me
all over again
you can't give yourself
absolutely to someone else
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will see you again
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will be there
I saw you as you walked
across my room
you looked out the window you
looked at the moon
and you sat on the corner of my bed
and you smoked with the ghost
in the back of my head
do you eat sleep
do you breathe me anymore
do you sleep
do you count sheep anymore
do you sleep anymore

I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will be there
will be there

I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed.
I grew up where growing up makes me awkward and proud.
I grew up were it was a difficult drive to the airport,
And I hope you have a good ride, cause my mother, you know,
She doesn't like to fly.
I grew up were it was a difficult drive to the airport,
But I grew up.
School, school, swimming pool,
I walk barefoot home from school.
School, school.


And mother, that's a hard word, the things that you're leaving,
The things that you're missing, the things you don't know.
And father, that's a hard word, the things that you're needing,
The things that you're missing, the things that don't show.
How happy do you have to be to be happy?
How sad do you have to be to be sad?
Do you have to be sad?
Do you have to be?
I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed.

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.

And I thought what I felt was simple,
And I thought that I don't belong,
And now that I am leaving,
Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you.

And you say I only hear what I want to...
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative... no, no, no.

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
And this woman was singing my song...
The lover's in love, and the other's run away,
The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.

Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born.
Well, this is not that...
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

You try to tell me that I'm clever,
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

You said that I was naive,
And I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
But now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

You said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose.
And you say, "stay."

You say I only hear what I want to.

I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines
That I knew long ago
I can hear old guitars are playing
On the beach at Honaunau
I can hear Hawaiians saying
Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao

It won't be long till my ship will be sailing
Back to Kona
A grand old place

That's always fair to see
I'm just a little lonely for Hawaiian boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi

I want to go back to my little grass shack
In Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa
Go swimming by
Bye-bye

you say i only hear what i want to

you say i talk so all the time so
and i thought what i felt was simple
and i thought that i don't belong
and now that i am leaving
now i know that i did something wrong
cause i missed you
yeah i missed you

you say i only hear what i want to
i don't listen hard
i don't pay attention to
the distance that you're running
or to anyone anywhere
don't understand if you really care
i'm only hearing negative no no no
so i turned the radio on
i turned the radio up
and this woman was singing my song
the lover's in love
and the other's run away
the lover is crying
cause the other won't stay
some of us hover when we
weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born
well this is not that
i think that i'm throwing
but i'm thrown
and i thought I'd live forever
but now i'm not so sure
you try to tell me that i'm clever
but that won't take me anyhow
or anywhere with you

and i thought that i was strong
i thought

cause you want me and
one day you'll let me go you try
to give away a keeper
or keep me
cause you know
you're just
scared to lose
and you say stay

waiting for the super buzz, the second dose, the inspiration, but something strange is going on.

i'm in the middle of another stupid conversation.
i can't believe so many days have gone by since i tried to talk to you, but something strange is going on.

i've got both sides of it and i'm waiting for the other one to come. you're too late, great,
what am i supposed to say?

that he's done something wrong, and he's gonna have to pay. late,great, what am i supposed to say?
that he begs to be beside you?
off and running.

it's stunning, you're caught off guard.
you feel forgotten, afraid of, in the dark.

this fixer upper's not my idea of what you should be after, not much laughter when you're penciled in.

sometimes the sun isn't bright enough in your apartment, the sun.
you have to lean towards the lamp, to ger anything done.

but you're too late, great,
what am i supposed to say?

that he's done something wrong, and he's gonna have to pay. late,great, what am i supposed to say?
that he begs to be beside you

I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
Gonna build my nest in a big oak tree
Where no one can never bother me

If I was a little fish
I'd never bite a hook or a line
No I'd swim way out to the middle of the sea
And leave all you big fish behind

If I was a mole in the ground
If I was a mole in the ground
I would roop that mountain down
If I was a mole in the ground

I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
Gonna build my nest in a big oak tree


Where no one can never bother me

Take me home, little bird, take me home
Take me home by the light of the moon
With the moon shining bright
And the stars are getting light
Take me home, little bird, take me home

I'm as free a little bird as I can be
I'm as free a little bird as I can be
Gonna build my nest in a big oak tree
