I′ve seen this one before, the girl she gets away Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is
Is this all we get to be absolute
Quiet but I′m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
It′s a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture On his wall and it′s a sailor in a new port every night Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent
Is this all we get to be absolute
Quiet but I′m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
All we are and all we want 40 years come and gone All we are in photographs Will never be taken
Quiet but I′m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want you here Quiet but I′m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
There are certain people you just keep coming back to She is right in front of you You begin to wonder could you find a better one Compared to her now she′s in question
And all at once the crowd begins to sing Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Looking for the right one you line up the world to find Where no questions cross your mind But she won′t keep on waiting for you without a doubt Much longer for you to sort it out
And all at once the crowd begins to sing Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her Maybe you started to compare to someone not there Maybe you want it, maybe you need it Maybe it′s all you′re running from Perfection will not come
And all at once the crowd begins to sing Sometimes We′d never know what′s wrong without the pain Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her Maybe you′ve started to compare to someone not there Maybe you want it, maybe you need it Maybe it′s all you′re running from Perfection will not come
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her Maybe you had her, maybe you lost her to another To another
Don′t talk, don′t say a thing Cause your eyes they tell me more than your words Don′t go, don′t leave me now Cause they say the best way out is through
And I am short on words knowing what′s occurred She begins to leave because of me
Her bag is now much heavier I wish that I could carry her But this is our ungodly hour
I know you′re leaving now Cause I held on to my way tightly Stay still until you know Tomorrow finds the best way out is through
And I am short on words knowing what′s occurred She begins to leave because of me
Her bag is now much heavier I wish that I could carry her But this is our ungodly hour
I never knew I never knew that everything was falling through That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue To turn and run when all I needed was the truth But that′s how it′s got to be It′s coming down to nothing more than apathy I′d rather run the other way than stay and see The smoke and who′s still standing when it clears
Everyone knows I′m in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She′s on your mind She′s on your mind
Let′s rearrange I wish you were a stranger I could disengage Just say that we agree and then never change Soften a bit until we all just get along But that′s disregard Find another friend and you discard As you lose the argument in a cable car Hanging above as the canyon comes between
Everyone knows I′m in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She′s on your mind She′s on your mind
Everyone knows I′m in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She′s on your mind She′s on your ...
And suddenly I become a part of your past I′m becoming the part that don′t last I′m losing you and its effortless Without a sound we lose sight of the ground In the throw around Never thought that you wanted to bring it down I won′t let it go down till we torch it ourselves
And everyone knows I′m in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She′s on your mind She′s on your mind
Everyone knows She′s on your mind Everyone knows I′m in over my head I′m in over my head I′m over my...
Everyone knows I′m in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She′s on your mind She′s on your mind
The day′s last one-way ticket train pulls in We smile for the casual closure capturing There goes the downpour There goes my fare thee well
There′s really no way to reach me There′s really no way to reach me There′s really no way to reach me ′Cause I′m already gone
There′s so many words that we can say Spoken upon long-distance melody This is my hello This is my goodness
There′s really no way to reach me There′s really no way to reach me There′s really no way to reach me ′Cause I′m already gone
Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again Straighten this whole thing out Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy But this is the distance And this is my gameface
There′s really no way to reach me There′s really no way to reach me Is there really no way to reach me? Am I already gone? So this is your maverick And this is Vienna
Uncertainty is killing me And I’m certainly not asleep Maybe I’ve gone far to deep Maybe I’m just far to weak Ands that’s the last place I want to be the last place
And there is so much we don’t know So we love and we hope that it holds
Thousands were lost maybe more The question remains, what is this for? Maybe it came unexpected Maybe I’m left unprotected And that’s the last place I want to be the last place
And there is so much we don’t know So we love and we hope that it holds And either we say or we show So I’m going to fight for my own
I’m holding on until the last I’m holding on until there’s nothing left I’m holding on until the last I’m holding on until there’s nothing left
Halfway around the world Lies the one thing that you want Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down First thing that arises in your mind while you awake Is bending you til you break Let me hold you now
Baby close your eyes Don′t open til the morning light Baby don′t forget You haven′t lost it all yet
Don′t know what your made of Til the one thing that you want To come in with the dawn and suddenly changes Monday, syndicate meets everyone the same But all we′ve lost to the flame Listen to me now
Baby close your eyes Don′t open til the morning light Don′t ever forget We haven′t lost it all yet All we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for Baby don′t forget We haven′t lost it all yet
Someday when this is over We may still have no answer For now it′s when I hold ya We are closer, we are closer We are closer, we are closer
Baby close your eyes Don′t open til the morning light Don′t ever forget We haven′t lost it all yet And all we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for Baby don′t forget We haven′t lost it all yet
We are closer We are closer (We haven′t lost it all yet) Now we are closer (We haven′t lost it all yet) We are closer
Made it 14 city blocks without breathin Light breaks from the left and hits between the buildings Stop lights change their name from green to red to green again Love has its critics but they never keep many friends
Its alright, this could be a rough night. So hold tight, this is not a fair fight.
She up and died and left you in the fall you could not forget You were too young you said not yet, not yet, not yet. That year the cherries choked from pretty pink, to red, to brown. You looked around but she was nowhere to be found.
It′s alright, this could be a rough night. So hold tight, this is not a fair fight. It′s alright, this will be a rough night. So hold tight, this is not a fair fight.
You swear you recall nothing at all That could make you come back down You made up your mind to leave it all behind Now you′re forced to fight it out
You fall away from your past But it′s following you
You left something undone, it′s now your rerun It′s the one you can′t erase You should have made it right, so you wouldn′t have to fight To put a smile back on your face
You fall away from your past But it′s following you You fall away
Something I′ve done that I can′t outrun Maybe you should wait maybe you should run But there′s something you′ve said that can′t be undone
And you fall away from your past But It′s following you
If only I knew what I know I′d make it a point to say so To everyone that got me here And everyone that made it
Clear I was dead wrong all along You said it for my sake That I would not lose my way When I was astray ...
I′m doing the best that I could. Trying my best to be understood Maybe I′m changing slowly I get out, turn around if only I...
Knew I was dead wrong all along You said it for my sake that I would not lose my way When I was dead wrong all along
Mine is not a new story Mine is not a new story Mine is nothing new But it is for me
So I was dead wrong all along You said it for my sake I don′t, would not, lose my way... When I was dead wrong all along You said it for my sake That I would not lose my way Did I really lose my way? Or are you afraid?
Looking for something I′ve never seen Alone and I′m in between The place that I′m from and The place that I′m in A city I′ve never been I found a friend or should I say foe Said there′s a few things you should know We don′t want you to see We come and we go Here today, gone tomorrow
Were only taking turns Holding this world It′s how it′s always been When you′re older, you will understand
If I say who I know it just goes to show You need me less than I need you Take it from me We don′t give sympathy You can trust me trust nobody But I said you and me We don′t have honesty The things we don′t want to speak I′ll try to get out but I never will Traffic is perfectly still
Were only taking turns Holding this world It′s how it′s always been When you′re older you will understand
And again maybe you don′t And again maybe you won′t
When you′re older You might understand When you′re older You might understand
Twenty years, it′s breaking you down now that you understand there′s no one around Take a breath, just take a seat you′re falling apart and tearing at the seams
Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don′t know why Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you′ll be alright
It′s on your face, is it on your mind would you care to build a house of your own How much longer, how long can you wait It′s like you wanted to go and give yourself away
Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don′t know why Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you′ll be alright Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don′t know why Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you′ll be alright
It feels good (Is that reason enough for you) It feels good (Is that reason enough for you) It feels good (Is that reason enough for you) It feels good (Is that reason enough for you)
Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don′t know why Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you′ll be alright Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don′t know why Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you′ll be alright
Out of this one I don′t know how to get you out of this one I don′t know how to get you out of this one I don′t know how to get you out of this one I don′t know how to get you out of this one
Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it′s just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you′ve told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you′ve followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he′ll say he′s just not the same And you′ll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
[Verse 1] I found God On the corner of First and Amistad Where the west Was all but won All along Smoking his last cigarette I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything".
[Verse 2] Where were you When everything was falling apart? All my days Were spent by the telephone It never rang And all I needed was a call It never came To the corner of First and Amistad
[Chorus 1] Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin′ on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why′d you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me
[Verse 3] In the end Everyone ends up alone Losing her The only one who′s ever known Who I am Who I′m not, who I wanna be No way to know How long she will be next to me
[Chorus 2] Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin′ on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why′d you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me
[Bridge] Early morning The city breaks I′ve been callin′ For years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages Ya never send me no letters You got some kinda nerve Taking all my world
[Chorus 3 and outro] Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin′ on the floor Where were you? Where were you? Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin′ on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why′d you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me Why′d you have to wait? To find me, to find me
Happiness is just outside my window Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour? Or is happiness a little more like knocking On your door, and you just let it in?
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow Let it be, you can’t make it come or go But you are gone- not for good but for now Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard Happiness was never mine to hold Careful child, light the fuse and get away ‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor So you tell yourself, that’s enough for now Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me Look for it, but you’ll never find it all Let it go, live your life and leave it Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home Home, home, home
In the night, I hear them talk The coldest story ever told Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul To a woman so heartless [echoes 3X] How could you be so heartless [echoes 3X] Oh, how could you be so heartless?
[Verse 1] How could you be so cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo Just remember that you talking to me yo You need to watch the way you talking to me yo I mean after all the things that we been through I mean after all the things we got into Ayo, I know there are some things that you ain′t told me Ayo, I did some things but that′s the old me And now you wanna get me back and you gonna show me So you walk around like you don′t know me You got a new friend, well I got homies But in the end it′s still so lonely
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] How could you be so Dr. Evil? You bringing out a side of me that I don′t know I decided we weren′t gonna speak so Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone? Why though she be so mad at me for? Homie I don′t know she′s hot and cold I won′t stop wont mess my groove up Cause I already know how this thing go You run and tell your friends that you′re leaving me They say that they don′t see what you see in me You wait a couple months then you gonna see You′ll never find nobody better than me
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] Talking talking talking talk Baby lets just knock it off They don′t know what we been through They don′t know about me and you So why I got something new to see? And you just gonna be keep hating me And we just gonna be enemies I know you can′t believe I could just leave it wrong And you can′t make it right I′m gonna take off tonight (Into the night)
There′s some things we don′t talk about rather do without and just hold the smile falling in and out of love ashamed and proud of together all the while
You can never say never why we dont know when time and time again younger now than we were before
Don′t let me go Don′t let me go Don′t let me go [x2]
Picture you′re the queen of everything as far as the eye can see under your command I will be your guardian when all is crumbling steady your hand
You can never say never why we dont know when time, time and time again younger now then we were before
Don′t let me go Don′t let me go Don′t let me go [x2]
We′re pulling apart and coming together again and again We′re growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don′t let me go Don′t let me go Don′t let me go [x4]
She doesn′t look, she doesn′t see Opens up for nobody Figures out, she figures out Narrow line, she can′t decide Everything short of suicide Never hurts, nearly works
Something is scratching Its way out Something you want To forget about
A part of you that′ll never show You′re the only one that′ll ever know Take it back when it all began Take your time, would you understand What it′s all about? What it′s all about?
Something is scratching Its way out Something you want To forget about
No one expects You to get up All on your own with No one around
Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home For now you′re not here and I′m not there, it′s like we′re on our own To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land
This is going to break me clean in two This is going to bring me close to you
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
It′s all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down I don′t know where it is, I don′t know when, but I want you around When it falls in place with you and I, we go from if to when Your side and mine are both behind it′s indication
This is going to bring me clarity This′ll take the heart right out of me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
This is going to bring me to my knees I just want to hold you close to me
[x2] She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
If I don′t say this now I will surely break As I′m leaving the one I want to take Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait My heart has started to separate
Oh, oh, oh Be my baby Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I′ll look after you
There now, steady love, so few come and don′t go Will you won′t you, be the one I always know When I′m losing my control, the city spins around You′re the only one who knows, you slow it down
Oh, oh, oh Be my baby Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I′ll look after you
If ever there was a doubt My love she leans into me This most assuredly counts She says most assuredly
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Be my baby I′ll look after you
It′s always have and never hold You′ve begun to feel like home What′s mine is yours to leave or take What′s mine is yours to make your own
