Keep warm for I will cover. Keep calm days flows better. No alarm for now only is here.
Looking up while you taught me no better. Pat my back while you push me over.
Facing first with you I become - only. Facing first with you I become - only

Communication's been a joke. At least my half of it. I can't hear you through all this smoke. So make what you can of this
Always trying to improve. Looks like we've got nothing to lose. What I want from you is someone who will.
Try to be there the best they can. So understand and go. I think we're gonna work it out. Or at least die faking it.
You've been my everything till now. Now you're my anything. Always trying to improve. Looks like we've got nothing to lose.
What I want from you is someone who will. Try to be there the best they can. So understand. I'll never turn you into me.
I'm something you don't need to be. I'll tell you what I think of it. Communication's been a joke. At least my half

I wake up thinking every day is Saturday. I've got no job I sit around the house all day. I couldn't see my life in any other way.
You tell me you think I should do. Something but tell me what that proves. Wake up and find yourself a job
Go join the taxpayers being robbed. I wake up thinking every day is Saturday. I've got no job I sit around the house all day.
I couldn't see my life in any other way. Go bust you ass for forty years. Then sit around and swallow beer.
There's nothing in this life for me. I need my creativity. I wake up thinking every day is Saturday.
I've got no job I sit around the house all day. I couldn't see my life in any other way

Leaving sour taste inside the mouth again time. After thinking now someone has to depend on. Darker days with rain I fail to see.
The endings over. Start the movie I star in paying close. Just weigh me more inside. Pullin' back. Just seems enough to get on by.
Clear over. Down inside. Looking back just seems enough to get on by. Clear over. Put together laughing faces for the last time.
I won't come in. Forever now seems like a false surprise. Sleeping through your dreams
Just walk on by and gone forever. The people form a line. Your space into time. Start the movie I star in. Playing close just
weighs me more inside. Pullin' back. Just seems enough to get on by. Clear over. Down inside. Pullin' back just seems enough to
hold my pride. Clear over. More inside. Looking back just seems enough to get on by. Clear over you. Out inside
Pullin' back just seems enough to hold my pride. More inside. Down inside Looking back just seems enough to get on by. Clear over

I'd like to change my plea of guilt. To let you know that I'm not thrilled. I never asked to be alone. I'm afraid of the crowd but I can say.
I still hate to be alone. Poor old me it's hard to see past the present. When I want to leave
Someday, somehow, I will look at how. I felt today and laugh. There's nobody here but me a one person crown.
If nobody hears the tree will it make any sound. But then again there's something else. I'm having fun all by myself.
Sometimes it seems to me we all tell. The same lie always at the same time. It takes a while to realize that. Everyone is always alone
Now I know it's hard to see past the present when. My eyes are closed. Someday, somehow, I will think of how. I felt today and laugh.
There's nobody here but me a one person crowd. If nobody hears the tree will it make any sound. Well if it's looking like I don't want.
Anybody to find me. That might have been the case a while ago. But now that's right behind me
I'll stay right here where I am because. What I want to do is something I was told. Could never be done and I disagreed

Far away again I'm going down my lonely. I should say my friend times will change. Thoughts so speak. On the move here I go again.
By no means will I ever. Stop to wake a friend I left behind. Fallen self - don't wanna be fallen self. In around always feels fine.
To take something and leave there for words. I won't speak get left behind. Weighing comes down. I turn the page with no reason.
I agree I left my wealth here before. Here before. Fallen self. Here I go by no means I will forever. Look down inside life I can't hide.
For fun I'm better - fallen forever. Fallen self - don't wanna be fallen self
Here I go by no means I will fall forever

Watch the way the crowd falls over. This is wrong I'm in the thick. Get it going on - games about to play it
I got my strategies and tactics. Gotcha thinking bout ya! ways. Blinking eyes won't shut when ya sleeping.
I close down when it's all about the speakin'. Discovering you can't get it back with pride. Watch the way the crowd falls over.
Am I coming through to you - through to you. Knowing you always thinkin' alike. Got it caught up in ya head so bad.
They gotta look like you. Ain't satisfied till ones buys ya something. Standin' around it seems the same way.
To make it look better but. Now I'm off in corner. With my intellect screaming inside. It's not the time my pride.
Life says goodbye so watch them say. Watch the way the crowd falls over. Knowing your always alike. They gotta look like you.
Watch the way the crowd falls over

Every day we take for granted. Not grateful for the fact that. You can hear the words I say. The fools will waste their time demanding.
It's hard enough to live my life. Without you in my face. Who's really in denial. So good at pointing fingers. And now your the one on trial.
As you can see i am not perfect. I've made mistakes. The same as every person that I know. Is there punishment. Because I deserve it.
I guess it's time so now I'll let. He who has no sin cast the first stone. Who's really in denial. So good at pointing fingers.
And now you're the one on trial

Please find it in your heart to try to understand. It only takes a taste and I get out of hand.
Well, I’ve tried so hard to be a personality that never has to turn to hate. If he keeps pushing me around I’ll find a battleground.
That’s where I’ll have to take him down. That’s my solution. So little time so much to try to understand.
It only takes a taste and I get out of hand. I’ve found nothing till now.

I’m so frustrated. You hesitated. You controlled my actions until now. My dreams: All gone. That is fine to me. OK, till you fall.
You were my hero. Hardly a friend. I’ll take forever to mend. It seems we’re drifting out of touch. Inside you cry when you’re laughing.

It takes two to fight. When I’m always right. But you’re my close friend so I. So I’m not alone. I don’t feel at home. But you’re a good friend.
So I. Since you talk when you’re told not to, Then I can’t take you anywhere. Since you laugh when you’re supposed to, I guess I’ll take you home.
I know. Summers gone we’ve lost our friend and since we’re looking at the end it’s... Tell me to shut up. When you’ve heard enough.
But you're a good friend. So I..

That is o.k. right where I am standing. Everything is fine. That is O.K. It seems this time we’re gonna have to keep in touch, keeping too much.
With ourselves. We’ve lost so much now we can’t go back. There’s nowhere left to go. It seems this time we’ve lost communication. Now it’s overdone.
I’m only insensitive. I’ll give you more than you ever asked for.

For a year now, every day. We fuss and fight in every way. You want to run I need you to stay. It’s time to put our troubles away.
When we a go dancin it’s all the same. I and I for you, alone. Every day. When we a go dancin we’re tough enough. Rough and tough enough for another day.
If the whole was now me and you. There’s only one thing left to do. So now this time we live in truth. You know what I want from you.

It seems there’s never a time without problems. I hope there’s never a time without you.
I must be out of my mind because I know, as long as we try we’ll be fine.

you’re running. all is inside of me. you keep on talking but your words still get in your way.
you’re gettin angry cause you can’t say what you’re trying to say. there’s something deep inside of me. and it bleeds.
I see it’s been mistreated. I still don’t know how to feel. it seems no one could tell me what I wanted to know.
I feel so cheated cause there really ain’t no place I can go. does anyone see what I see? is it me?
I don’t care if I'm hurting your feelings. these words are so hard to say. neither side looks the least bit appealing when no one there has a face.

You have got to go with your mentality. You won’t find me in J Crew or LL Bean. Lock the doors when you drive through my neighborhood.
If I could do what O.J. did I........would. You think we’re gonna sell your children drugs. You won’t let us in your country clubs.
You thought it only happened on T.V. Well, Wally, Joan, Ward and the Beeve can kiss my black ass. I would love to wipe my ass with your soft face.
You’d hope to kill us all of off by inventing A.I.D.S. Now your biggest nightmare, now your darkest dream. Majority will someday be Minority.
You can kiss my light brown.

No one could tell. Cause nobody knew. Deep down inside I was hiding and crying and laughing was something I let slip away from me.
All I’ve ever known is how to cheat. Someday I’ll find the true meaning of life and it won’t mean a thing if there’s nobody there to say,
If you fall down I’ll pick you up and throw the lions to themselves cause I was never one to judge. How could you tell? What did you see?
How did it feel to be useless and stupid and nothing was something you told me I’d always be. I’m beginning to hate you.
I’m beginning to like the meantime. I’m beginning to hate to. I’m beginning to hate to. And I’m thinking it lasts a lifetime.

You keep on calling with your little freaking phone. The line is never busy but you know I’m never home.
Start your freakin whiney message at the freaking beep. Talk to a plastic box while I freakin sleep.
Ben you gotta call me but I have nothing to say. Is this your best shot? Cause I hear it every day.
Your ugly. Your stupid. You lie. Surprised? Gotta use a telephone. Won’t look me in the eye.

Things have changed and change has me. I can’t stand still. I want to leave. For all your hates and all your needs, you’ll always live in groups of three.
From what we wanted we must have strayed. The memories of how we stayed together. And I can’t find nothing to bring me back. Never.
You always were the one who never lost a war. You always ran the show. And always asked for more. In ten years I’ll have a biggest regret.
You bet. When in twenty more I won’t give a damn about it.

I’ve spent some time on the topic of you. I’ve kept my mind on the things I could do. That’s why it’s hard to believe in myself.
I sold it all for the one thing I felt. Internal conflict is still nothing new. Focusing pain, only one of the two.
Inside it’s not too easy. Outside there’s nothing pleasing. Spent too much time on the topic of you. It just feels right this way. Never any other way.

it’s so amazing. This is the last time that we meet. There’s no pretending. After today we’ll never speak. You were the greatest.
But then you still were hurting me. We almost made it. I guess it’s time for me to leave. There’s still so much I want to know.
You know? You’ll never tell me what I could say to make things right. You really knew me. You knew that this would be the night.
The fear destroys me. I’ll never fell this way again. And still inside me, I hope the feeling never ends. I’ll never see you anymore.
We’re both out on our own this time. Time heals all wounds.

There’s still so much I want to tell you that you’ll never know. Right now it burns inside but I won’t let my feelings show. In time..
My time is running out and soon I’m gonna fade away. Your world is waiting for you and I must be on my way. I’ve never felt this way before.
I’ve never felt this way.

after all this time it turns out you don’t know me very well. at least not enough to work it out and not enough to tell that I would never try to hurt you.
and still you don’t believe. and I'm stuck picking up the pieces. and you don’t know what it means. I never thought it’d come to this.
watching you play the victim. and so you say that you don’t care. and poorly hide the problem. well, you must have known I'd find out.
I'd find out what you said. that’s the reason why you said it. let it through your head that all your words expose your weakness. the real you inside.
so you try to be aggressive when you want to run and hide. running in circles cause I found out. making it look like I brought you down.
it’s not a game when my name is in doubt. you’ll never know what it’s all about.

nothing more than presence is required. and my patience has expired. in terms beyond desire, I'm wanting it all.
you feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way. I've lost my will to question. don’t care if there’s a reason.
no interest in perfection. by the way, emotional transactions resulting in subtraction are more than just a factor. I'm wide awake when I dream at night.
tell me how it feels to be afraid. and tell me how it feels to be alone. tell me how it feels to be alive. I'll tell you how it feels to be afraid of life alone.

if you can take me there than I'll try to show you what it is that means so much to me.
I don’t care if you think that I'm too overwhelmed to realize we’re making memories. like waves come crashing over, in this heart of mine.
you area part of me. take a rest. let me tell you how I want to know you. if anything, I'm a fool for your mystique.
I don’t care if they told you how I think too much to save myself some hard earned dignity.

invisible hands leave fingerprints on everything. everything. all around the world is asleep. beneath a blanket. covering. mothering.
causing us to follow a dog that finds a use for juggling. I think something’s wrong with the man who volunteered for challenger.
I'm watching the world burn down. I find it revealing. I'm watching it all till now. turn off the lights and if there’s no one watching you, go ahead.
make yourself. an ant in the yard has little chance of ruining daddy’s garden. speaking of dreams, I've had a few where I was kind.
and I felt what it’s like to suffer the fate of modern eyes. lead poisoning.
now that you’re grown and on your own you’ll never see what it is that makes you surface. come up for air and find a friend on dying breaths.
reaching out. apologizing. “look what I've done”. I'll never hear the end of this. we never know how alone we are.

I'm losing ground where it can’t be seen and it hurts inside when they’ve left me cold and clean. and I cannot stop it. it won’t happen to me.
that’s how I used to think. know my words have caught me. lie to me. say that it’s ok. tell me this will go away.
you don’t see how this affects my dream of the perfect day when they’ve left me cold and clean.

(instrumental)

I think I'm gonna fake my death today. a new excuse for fitting in. call it choosing poisons. a fear so deep I can’t reveal. no one’s gonna find us there.
if they do then I don’t care. so how is it loneliness is afraid of the dark. my star. you are. I'll take you up on all your threats today.
although I don’t know who you are. words are inexpensive. that’s all I've learned I've learned so far. I know this sounds impossible to you.
you’re not afraid of the dark. as my star. you are. it’s not impossible to me.

well, the things you want to take with you I see in your face. and the things you left behind are quickly replaced.
a picture may be worth a thousand words to some but only one for me. tonight is like the night I told you everything and anything.
you know. but the air’s a little cleaner now. and the cigarettes I quit. like the way we were. I held you in my arms. you were safe with me.
and we would have a good life. so now I guess there’s nothing left to do and not much to say. and the radio is so useless from the shit that they play.
it seems it’s been a little while since smiles were draped across your face. somehow I think I took for granted that your never gonna change.
I guess this is the time and place for anything. I liked the way we were. I held you in my arms. I whispered in your ear that we would have a good life.

you’re finding this all so hard to believe. and finding you can’t find this part of me. you’ve painted my portrait by assuming the rest.
\you’ve past over the worst and forgotten the best. there are no excuses you can have for free. you’ll be buried if you dig to deep.
I don’t want you lost inside of me. I am not a secret. although my secrets are hiding away. I'll tell you a secret. if you can keep it we’ll be on our way.
somewhere inside you. that’s where I'll be. when all of your efforts wont figure it out. there are no equations for plotting your route.
you’ll continue to struggle for answers inside your reach.....

(instrumental)

I'm sending out a shockwave. and I hope you feel it where you know. I'm shining like the son now. in your arms is where my favorite place was.
now I think since the union’s broken I will try to find it somewhere else. I confess that I'll never let you in my heart.
when I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are. you know you want to feel it. you know you want to tell them it’s your own.
when you think you’ve made it, ask yourself if you’re alright alone.

somehow I'm not afraid. for reasons I can’t see. somehow you’re safe with me. when for once, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
so for the first time I'll be happy. yes I am so truly happy. yes you are. and there’s nothing in this world or in your mind that I would let take it away.
none of this is anything if you can’t understand me. if you don’t think it’s worth it then please turn away. nothing in your way. the perfect synergy.
you staying here with me. beneath reality. when for once, I wouldn’t have it any other way. you’ve perfected perfection to a tee. you.

save me one more blue and white day. give my eyes to see you smile. save me one more blue and white.

foster feelings for all of you? at rest like the pride of ancient civilization. feel like these feelings are doomed.
feel like there aint enough room for. feel like there aint enough room. miss you like school and when they bury. miss you more then now.
good luck. you etched eternal love in tree bark. and they finally drained the pool. I can’t blame him for feeling like a fool.

silence spilled your guts. fences turn to dust. purpose out lived shine. game’s already mine. buy me some time. I hope she’s still waiting.
this won’t take long. I know what you're thinking. that I can fly. your first name’s a lie. you’re hollow in side. you’re afraid to cry. you’re ashamed.
goodbye. waiting.

you soothe me. blood flow up my spine. heat outside cools my mind. I want to float on you. forever. through no matter. let the new day pass us by.
because I want to stay along for the ride.

swim across the sky. so Atlantic black and green. distant red rust of the passing ships. counterweights the sun and the day has seemed to me.
meet its watershed and surrenders. the stratosphere where the stars live tumbles down. stumbles toward earth. like you do. and you do too.
black waves unphased by a metamorphosis hurl white crests toward the shore. the sounds of war like water seamless. driving till the morning.
all this time I've been hesitating. no much longer it’s so frustrating. try to pull a breath down in the dark.
if it seems like it’s here and it smells like it’s here, I don’t want to find out otherwise. keep me here for days. keep me in a daze.
the hum of the factory keeps me in a daydream. perfectly. not a hair is out of place. helps me sleep at night. bigger than the dry land.

eyes keeping closed till it’s over. honing my skill in disaster. hating. waiting. never stood a chance. some knots never come undone.
the cord just frays away. you know, you’ve got the best of me. and I give you a wish for best of luck. but that won’t get us out of here.
and it doesn’t even get us near. I pull you under. I pull you under with me. fall from your grace unobstructed. surrender to understanding.
hating. waiting. never stood a chance. failure built by good intentions placed you in the way.

I feel so excluded. all this time I knew this wouldn’t be the way that I had dreamed. or so it seems. there’s no place for me.
I don’t belong with you or them. but still I try to force a smile. meanwhile I'm not ok. I wish I could find someone who’s shape could carry me inside.
go for a ride. smoke stained walls hold good intentions all the while no mention of the way I wanted us to be. you and me.
I guess another bridge is burned. but I know you only smile when my back is turned.
staring at the phone won’t make it ring and though I know your number like my name, I don’t think I can do it.
if you were here I'd tell you everything. I'd never say a word. it doesn’t matter anyway. anymore. so now I know.
I guess another bridge is burned. but I know you only smile when my back is turned...

truly was the best there was
hair pulled back and a fist to throw
she seemed to fit where no one does
the memories grow sweeter as the days escape my grasp
i will try try to plan a future with this woman in my path
don't try to rearrange it
things that you take with you
you can never leave behind
don't try to separate us
navigate the future with this truly on my mind
baby won't you come back home
it's cold outside and if the wind should blow
your name stays frozen to my tongue
the pages stick together when you leave me here alone
i will try to find a future with the only one i know
don't try to rearrange it
things that you take with you
you can never leave behind
don't try to separate us
navigate the future with this truly on my mind

i climbed to the roof to see
if i could sit in
the atmosphere laughed at me
i lied and said i could win
ambition unfloated me
it send virgins to sin
condition remoted me
lies seeped from my grin
i couldn't float from mouth to mouth
i hate the language
gravity rules some people out
there's too much damage
i fell from the roof at speeds i've never achieved
the ground had it's eye on me
just feet from received
i couldn't float from mouth to mouth
i hate the language
gravity rules some people out
there's too much damage

lately anything is possible
but chance is getting on my nerves
and though you're almost always beautiful
i'm not quite sure tonight is what i deserve
it's alright if you stay here
it's alright if you go
never been so confused
it's alright if you stay here
i'm cool with it if you go
i've never been so lost
i'm never going to be found and i know
though i'm not prepared for everything
i had no problems with your thorns
were past the point of fixing anything
beneath your shoes the welcome mat is worn
it's alright if you stay here
it's alright if you go
never been so confused
it's alright if you stay here
i'm cool with it if you go
i've never been so lost
i'm never going to be found and i know
and it all comes down to you
it's alright if you stay here
i'm cool with it if you go
never been so confused
it's alright if you stay here
i don't want you to go
i've never been so lost
i'm never going to be found and i know
i don't want you to go

Lyrics

i did the math
found out that sometimes people fail
when it's your turn
i promise not to listen with my heart
these days
it's times like this i wish you couldn't talk
now i hurt cause i don't want to think that's who you are
left stranded
miles away from simple love and fear
with your eyes closed
you chose to throw punches in the dark
these days
it's times like this i wish you couldn't talk
and i hurt cause i don't want to think that's who you are
no you won't see it in their eyes
i did the math
found out that sometimes people fail
when it's your turn
i promise not to listen with my heart

i dreamt i saw you
and you were happy
but part of me died with your sadness
but don't call me cruel
i've grown very used to being needed
as your soldier
to the end
i like to keep you
nestled beneath me
for security
but you're not happy
i dreamt i let you
decide to leave me
it wasn't worth it
you didn't need me
don't ever tell me
there's life without me
i'd have no purpose
and still feel empty
i like to keep you
nestled beneath me
for security
but you're not happy

everything i get is already broken
everyone i meet is need of repair
every time i speak it's already spoken
every future plan finds me under-prepared
you gotta wiggle the handle
you gotta jiggle the key
you gotta work it with what you're working with when you're working it next to me
my whole world is held together with duct tape
all seems fine but deep inside i'm gasping for air
the odds are watching me for any mistake that i make
it takes alot to give a damn while fronting like you don't even care
you gotta wiggle the handle
you gotta jiggle the key
you gotta work it with what you're working with when you're working it next to
you gotta jiggle the handle
you gotta wiggle the keys
you gotta work it with what you're working with when you're working it next to me
rock my hoopdie pushing off into the sunset
failure on my radio and into the air
pass the exit sign and we'll be out of new jersey
leave this mess behind and always carry a spare
you gotta wiggle the handle
you gotta jiggle the key
you gotta work it with what you're working with when you're working it next to
you gotta jiggle the handle
you gotta wiggle the key
you gotta work it with what you're working with when you're working it next to me

there's a hole in my heart
where you fell out
and a hole in my soul
was filled with doubt
and no one's excited
cause the worst was expected
they had me convinced you looked for me
they all still pretend that we would be
dancing in the clouds
the joy, the times
good bye to rainy days
how's it supposed to feel once all you thought had died?
keep looking back at how i held on to your lies
i won't ask the questions anymore
when your answers are all rehearsed and forced
and no one's excited
cause the worst was expected
i struggle to work with what was left
from the deal of a lifetime off my chest
dancing in the clouds
the joy, the times
good bye to rainy days
how's it supposed to feel once all you thought had died?
keep looking back at how i held on to your lies
i held on to your lies
no one will feel this way.
there's a hole in my heart
where you fell out
when the hole in my soul
was filled with doubt
and no one's excited
cause the worst was expected

give me
one more chance to answer for the needing
and take my rhyme
away from me just let me get
across the feelings
i don't think i'm aware of it today
oh, it's the feelings
i don't think i'm aware of it today
and you
give them
the answers that they wanted from the start
and leave me
alone from your excuses
while i run from your abusiveness
to reasons i'm still here
you see, there's problems deeper than your own
the more that i stay, the more clear
i see there's problems deeper than our own
and you
selfish
self fish does what self fish wants
he swims beneath the cold fronts
and the rhythm that you give
you know, i never liked him anyway
the more that i stay, the more clear
i see there's problems deeper than our own
and you

you got nothing to say and i got nothing to lose
i'm sick of feeling trapped by my own rules
cause there's a sense of control that i lose
i got my own opinions i got rights to abuse
i got reasons to fear the things that i shouldn't do
i got this evil streak in me that wants to prevail
but i keep it cool
i'm sick of feeling trapped by my own rules
cause there's a sense of control that i lose
so don't bring me down cause you won't like the sound
it's as if i'm a kite attached to my past
on the sand, on the ground
i feel as if i'm flying somewhere always not around
don't fool yourself
you speak too fast
the subtlety like most your life
was never meant to last
the future days unfold me
but my history down upon the ground forever gets to hold onto me
onto me
onto me
i'm sick of feeling trapped by my own rules
cause there's a sense of control that i lose
so don't bring me down cause you won't like the sound

why is it so hard for me
just to let you go and to let you be
was i born with no ability to be happy?
maybe i should let you know
i find it hard to let you go

Instrumental

no more romantic plan
i've put up and done my best
don't want to lead the blind to scenic landscapes on my chest
i'm leaving you here to rest
no i don't want to pull your weight forever
no more pretending that we'll be together
i'm empty handed when i carried you so long
don't get in
i'm saying i told you so
i'm saying i should have known
i've got enough weight to pull without your fingers on my plate
i'm so glad i let you go
no i don't want to pull your weight forever
no more pretending that we'll be together
i'm empty handed when i carried you so long
don't get in
hating and waiting, frustrating, debating
and feeding and taking and building and breaking
needing and needing till life was receding
and sinking in puddles of tears from you
hating and waiting, debating
and feeding and taking
and building and breaking
completing
and needing and needing
and needing and needing
i'm leaving
there's nothing that you can do.
(you won't have time to pretend that it never was)
no i don't want to pull your weight
no more pretending that we'll be together
i carried you

Lyrics

Good to me
and only if it's perfect for you
so generous in all that you do
where would we be if there was no you
Not today
this ain't the time for having my way
forget about what i had to say
forget about what i need to say
Let me stay
i promise i'll be good and behave
i promise everything is ok
i promise i'll stay out of your way
not today
this ain't the time for having my way
forget about what i had to say
forget about what i need to say
not today
not today,i'm not having my way
not today,i'm not having my way
not today,i'm not having my way

I met the sweetest girl on sunday
just drinking coffees by the park
i told her secrets bout the future
seems like she didn’t want no part
i'm stuck because this girl could
get it to go
but i'm afraid it might be too late
cause she already knows
i introduced her to my brother
i think he didn't like her face
i tried to tell her bout the future
she wouldn't let me plead my case
i'm stuck because this girl could
get it to go
but i'm afraid it might be too late
cause she already knows
now baby let me tell my story
quit always acting like you know
before you have the chance to bore me
i think you could be good to go, yeah
i'm stuck because this girl could
get it to go
but i'm afraid it might be too late
cause she, ahh
i'm stuck because this girl could
get it to go
but i'm afraid it might be too late
cause she already knows
i'm stuck because this girl could
get it to go
but i'm afraid it might be too late.

jimmie used to take me out to skate
he always had a no-comply with no mistakes
and over body acme on the curb
roller wheels and axel grinds were all you heard
i'm headed back to 18th avenue
i'm going either with or without you
maybe you couldn't make your mind up either way
i'm headed back to 18th avenue
dustin used to lie to all the girls
and talk a lot of oooo baby and you're my world
i guess that's what it took to get him laid
by the time they figured out it was way to late
i'm headed back to 18th avenue
i'm going either with or without you
maybe you couldn't make your mind up either way
i'm headed back to 18th avenue
i'm going back to 18th avenue
i'll make it back to 18th avenue, oooh,oh..
better try to get the story straight
jimmie had a no-comply with no mistakes
better try to get the story straight
you better try
i'm headed back to 18th avenue
i'm going either with or without you
maybe you couldn't make your mind up either way
i'm headed back to 18th avenue

If I, die from
Something so much less than smart
Know you’ve always held my heart
Even if we’re torn apart
If I leave you
Under-done and under-whelmed
Just remember how it felt
Try to think of how it felt
I want my eulogy to say
He was the kind of friend that no one could replace
Could replace
And I, I want my family to know
That I loved them more than words will ever show
Ever show
If I, miss my
Chance to make things right with you
Know how much I wanted to
Know how much I needed to
Maybe someday
We’ll look back at this laugh
Maybe this is all a laugh
Maybe this is all I’ll have
I want my eulogy to say
He was the kind of friend that no one could replace
Could replace
And I, I want my family to know
That I loved them more than words will ever show
Ever show
I want my eulogy to say
If I, die from
Something so much less than smart
Know you’ve always held my heart
Even if we’re torn apart
I want my eulogy to say
I want my eulogy to say
I want my eulogy to say
I want my eulogy to say
I want my family to know
That I loved them more than words will ever show
Ever show

If I didn’t have this anger I’d be everything you’re looking for
I’ll pretend it didn’t kill me but my heart is laying on the floor
It doesn’t take a lot to cut me down to size
It doesn’t take that much to leave tears in these eyes
Back to the start and when will it all end
baby, I can get it figured out
back to the start and when will it all end
cause these feelings I can do without
if your daddy didn’t leave you would you still be so afraid of me
and when other people see you, do they see the you, you try to be
it doesn’t take a lot to cut you down to size
it doesn’t take that much to leave tears in your eyes
back to the start and when will it all end
baby you could get it figured out, baby you could get it figured out
back to the start and when will it all end
cause these feelings you could do without, cause these feelings you could do without
back to the start and when will it all end
baby I could get it figured out, baby I could get it figured out
back to the start and when will it all…end
back to the start and when will this all end
baby I could get this figured out, maybe I could get this figured out
back to the start and when will this all end
cause these feelings I can do without, cause these feelings I can do without
back to the start and when will this all end
baby I can get this figured out, baby I can get this figured out
back to the start and when will this all
if I didn’t have this anger I’d be everything you’re looking for (repeat)

I’ll pack my things and go
I came here for the free food and not the show
Her heart it overflows with all this b/s bound
Where she’s been and who she knows
I found out what I wanted to know
And don’t think you can hide it
You’re putting pretty where the sht doesn’t grow
As if you need to be reminded
Life’s precious little gems
Not quite the size the doctor recommends
I guess it all depends
Oh, this would be so real if only I pretend
I found out what I wanted to know
And don’t think you can hide it
You’re putting pretty where the sht doesn’t grow
As if you need to be reminded
I found out what I wanted to know
And don’t think you can hide it
You’re putting pretty where the sht doesn’t grow
As if you need to be re-, as if you need to be re-
Maybe you should be, you need to be, you need to be reminded
Stretch that skin and rip that skin and put this in
Now you’re perfect, now you’re perfect
Stretch that skin and rip that skin and put this (sht) in and
Now you’re perfect, now you’re perfect
Stretch that skin and rip that skin and put this in and
Now you’re perfect, now you’re perfect
Stretch that skin and rip that skin and put this in
Now you’re perfect, now you’re perfect
Does anybody know, how long the plastic takes to decompose?
Does anybody know?
I found out what I wanted to know
And don’t think you can hide it
You’re putting pretty where the sht doesn’t grow
As if you need to be reminded
(repeat)

fluorescent yellow you’re who I’m fussin’ with
you came to take a little more than I’ve got to give
I met you first right here back in 86
Fluorescent yellow you’re who I’m fussin with
Write me up cause i will not explain
Try to feel it too , but it’s not the same
Fluor, fluor, ooooh
Your 7-7’s cool but don’t try to act tough
I seen’em (I can’t make out the rest of this one, arrgh)
I only promise we’ll have another day
Make me a promise we’ll have another day
Write me up cause i will not explain
Will not explain, will not explain
Try to feel it too , but it’s not the same
Will not explain, will not explain
Write me up cause i will not explain
Will not explain, will not explain
Try to feel it too , but it’s not the same
Will not explain, will not explain

everywhere i go, everything i do
all means nothing without you
if ever you're alone and you think of me
i'll be waiting for you
i'll be waiting for you

I need a witness for this story
A wit with half the chance to feel the same
From all the failures to the glory
A face that has to end up in the frame
If I could put some things behind me
I’ll find a box that’s big enough for blame
I don’t know why but you believe me
The only thing I hope will never change
The only thing I hope will never change
The only thing I hope
Instead of words to make us happy
Instead of all the ones that cause us pain
Instead of stopping to remind me
You took a breath and tried to feel the same
I know you’ll never make it easy
You’ll make it so much easier to stay
I don’t know why but you believe me
I don’t know why at all
If ever, if ever without you
I don’t wanna be
If ever, if ever without you
I don’t wanna be
If ever, if ever without you
I don’t wanna

Lyrics

Carve my own path, leave the sun
Darling it's you that I'm running from
And life doesn't stop because you're gone
And love doesn't stop because you're gone
Ooh, darling it's you that I'm running from
And life doesn't stop because you're gone
And love doesn't stop because you're gone
And nothing will stop because you're gone
You're gone.

Check me out, I'm in the zone
About to send you jokers home
Got me running and gunning and hoping love don't get in my way
Yesterday ran out of gas, it put a foot up in your ass
It had you running and gunning and hoping love won't get in your way
This is how the story goes
Right up underneath your nose
It could be the only thing I'll ever know
Love won't get in my way
It's a different recipe
It's some shit you'll never see
Headed to a separate business entity
Love won't get in my way
Cause I was cutting this is the garage
For Joey Y and Raji Raj
For Ted and Mike and Doctor Rock and Wat
Don't get in my way
Come here, show me where it hurts
When you let me dig your dirt (let me dig it out)
Got you spinning like a hurricane, a nor easter
Don't get in my way
This is how the story goes
Right up underneath your nose
It could be the only thing I'll ever know
Love won't get in my way
Tune in tomorrow to find out if our hero's gonna die…

I didn't ask you to find me
And I don't want you to remind me
Of all the things that I'll never know
You bet your ass this rig is gonna blow
Now that the past is behind me
I won't let nobody define me
And all the things that you want to know
Might have to end in a question mark
She's in the street sleepwalking and go talk to boys
Ain't a damn thing you can do with that noise
And you might want her but you don't need her
She ends in an apostrophe
I'm in her face shit talking when they called the cops
Better ease on up or leave in handcuffs
And I might want her but I don't need her
She ends in an apostrophe
You see
We're gonna break up before the end of time
So leave on your makeup in case you change your mind
In case you change your mind
We're gonna break up before the end of time
So leave on your makeup in case you change your mind

No looking back now cause it's too late
Gimme the facts now cause I'm so great
Shit in the bedroom
You couldn't wait
Get it, got it, had it and didn't want it
No looking back now cause it's too late
New Amsterdam I'm ready for your love
Although you're not the world I'm thinking of
New Amsterdam I'm ready for you
Need another chance to bore you
With another story
Yo, what's up?
No looking back now cause it's too late
Stick to the facts now cause I'm so great
I had a woman, she told me lies
Get it, got it, had it and didn't want it
Told me some bullshit
I said goodbye
New Amsterdam I'm ready for your love
Although you're not the world I'm thinking of
New Amsterdam I'm ready for you
Need another chance to bore you
With another story
Yo, what's up?
Get it, got it, had it, she didn't want it
No looking back now cause it's way too late
No looking back now
New Amsterdam I'm ready for your love
Although you're not the world I'm thinking of
New Amsterdam I'm ready for you
Need another chance to bore you
With another story
Yo, what's up?

It's 2:15 and she's still inside
His memories tear her up all night
I'd probably leave if not for pride
Sympathy from your mother's side
Ambition from your father's side
I'll be outside waiting for you
My shallow charm got you in the mood
I come unarmed but I tell the truth
You got me waiting for a clue
Sympathy from your mother's side (Oh)
Ambition from your father's side (That's just the way that you…)
I'll be outside waiting for you
My body knows what it wants from you
I'm not afraid of your attitude
You heart will tell you what to do
Empathy from your mother's side (Oh)
Ambition from your father's side (That's just the way that you…)
I'll be outside waiting for you
That's just the way that we choose to lose control (It's amazing)
It is not amazing
That's just a name for the season in your soul (It's depressing)
I am not undressing for this
It's just a shame how the past makes you feel old (And I'm fading)
Complaining won't make you feel young
It's just a flame that we light when it get's cold (I'll be waiting)
And waiting is what you should do
It's 2:16 and she's still inside
Her memory tears me up all night
I'd probably leave if not for pride
Sympathy from your mother's side (Oh)
Ambition from your father's side (That's just the way that you…)
I'll be outside waiting for you

It's like my heart is all but thrown away
Got to organize and analyze my pain
But there's still some love that I can send your way
Maybe you can send it back to me one day
Yeah it hurts so bad but I don't want to stop
But I'm feeling like I've almost had enough
I stay obsessed with yesterday
Can't undo the mistakes that I've made
Yeah it hurts so bad but I don't want to stop
And I'm feeling like I've almost had enough
Yeah it hurts so bad that I don't want to stop
And I'm feeling like I've almost had enough
Let's be honest cause you're never gonna change
Let's be honest cause you're never gonna change
And it hurt so bad that I won't let you know
And it hurt so bad that I won't let you know
And it hurt so bad that I won't let you know
And it hurts
Let's be honest cause you're never gonna change
Let's be honest cause you're never gonna change
Let's be honest cause you're never gonna change
Let's be honest cause you're never gonna change
