Procrastination, the small conversation the tensions beginning to build up inside no one elses point of view has ever been to what you think is right
thats why no body is your friend but they′ll always become one someday as she follows me is now business that you run
wondering what went wrong wondering just how long the road ahead will be joy has compromised dotting all the I′s, crossing the T′s
one out of one its a relization of peoples reflection of what you believe
anyone who now looks back be ready to die the faught will change
so please dont get me wrong we share our common goals inside of me sees how you are so go one with the show
wondering what went wrong wondering just how long the road ahead will be joy has compromised dotting all the I′s, crossing the T′s
see where it gets us well see where we hang out but nothing can keep me from coming this way look at the sins and banged up poverty like which you remain in
i wont buy what your selling i feel my eye repairing always makes a chance to be seen
So I′m left wondering, there is so much left I wish that I could say to you Silence, I keep For fear of breaking myself down, and maybe getting through Getting through to you
(Chorus) For Pete′s sake Lets see straight (Yeah) Clench your fist up in rage Hurts to know, We could throw All this time away
Lets try and work it out Please don′t be angry anymore, I′m on your side And I don′t wanna fight Put this hate aside Get back to a place where you and I can still be friends
(woah)You want it (woah)You need it (woah)You want it
(Chorus)
And all the answers you′re racing to find out They might outrun you in the end (2x)
We′ll leave this shit behind Our moms, our dads, our lives Leave them all back there Leave it back without a care Friends and familes too Leave them back at home with you Checking out of our home town Gonna make it somehow
We′ll leave this shit behind Leave this shit behind Leave this shit behind Behind, behind, behind
Going to California Money is one thing we don′t have Have to play shows along the way Have to make it our way fast Just the 5 of us crammed into the bus Checking out of our home town Gonna make it somehow
We′ll leave this shit behind Leave this shit behind Leave this shit behind Behind, behind, behind
Leave this shit behind Leave this shit behind Leave it all back there Leave it back without a care Friends and families too Leave them back at home with you Checking out of our home town Gonna make it somehow
he land of the free The home, the deprived For years just sat back while others were asleep But now the times are changing Are you gonna stay the same? We change the point of view while you point the blame on me on me on me on... You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies Without your lies, without your lies
We take responsibility for things that you say away you push it off, push it off on someone like me Someone who cares just a little too much You′re using just another fucking crutch like me Like me like me like me...
You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies You′re nothing, nothing, nothing without your lies Without your lies, without your lies... Lies...
Where is your inspiration, you lost it oh so long ago so much for innovation, I saw this coming long before You had no motivation, your hopes are high but Trapped below, This constant competition, we′ve won but your still keeping score
But I grew up, wishing on a star You think, I won′t ever get too far
So high on dedication, it feels so good to get away From all this repetition, this angry town, this battleground So now we′ll break tradition we′ll leave you swimming in our wake Without your inspiration, you won′t survive you′ll surely drown
But I grew up, wishing on a star You think, I won′t ever get too far (2x)
Where is your inspiration, you lost it oh so long ago
Man once sang to me Look at you saving the world on your own And I wonder how things gonna be Cos the time here it passes so slow
In a city of devils we live A city of devils we live
Find somebody to learn Boy you gotta love someone more than yourself I can feel the fire of the city lights burn And it′s hard to find angels in hell
[Chorus]
Flying along I Feel like I don′t belong and I, Can′t tell right from the wrong, why, Have I been here so long
In a city of devils we live A city of devils we live
Questions I can′t seem to find To the answers I already have And you can′t see the sky here at night So I guess I can′t make my way back
[Chorus]
What if I wanted you here right now Would you fall in the fire burn me down If I wanted you here right now Would you fall in the fire burn me down If I wanted you here right now...
In a city of devils we live In a city of devils we live A city of devils we live In a city of...
[Chorus]
I don′t belong Don′t belong I′ve been here too long Too long
If I could then I′d Shrink the world tonight So that I would find You and me inside
A life in love a picture of a place I′m nowhere near A bleeding heart, a good head start to anywhere but here Just let me out, Please let me out before I turn into A box of things reminding me of how much I′m missing you (I am missing you)
If could then I′d Shrink the world tonight So that i would find You and me inside Of the last good scene A film that changes things Break us makes us sing Leaves us wondering
And through the wall my fist you call but then you always run So what′s its for the love and war it′s only fair for some You save the girl you save the world well, that′s not true it seems A lesson learned speak of turn I bite my tongue it bleeds (bite my tongue it bleeds)
If could then I Shrink the world tonight So that i would find You and me inside Of the last good scene A film that changes things Break us makes us sing Leaves us wondering
This can′t be home... anymore This can′t be home... anymore
If you, think I Have not been missing The way she breathes You are mistaken, my friend I′ve fallen down So put your mouth on My bloody knees
One night with me and I′ve broken your trust I′d hate to be the bond You know is gonna bust (know is gonna bust) Hurting lungs breathing Sighs of disgust
This cant be home... anymore This cant be home... anymore
Now cold concrete Blank walls are staring Into your lonely eyes I duck behind them And hope that you won′t go And ask for answers to Why I made you cry
I never wanted us to fade out Resting on a love that fell apart Where are you? I need you You still have, still have my heart
I never wanted us to fade out (fade out) Resting on a love that fell apart (torn apart) Where are you? I need you You still have, still have my heart
One night with me and I′ve broken your trust I′d hate to be the bond You know is gonna bust (know is gonna bust) Hurting lungs breathing Sighs of disgust
This cant be home...anymore This cant be home...anymore
Open up my heart Open up my heart Open up my heart Open up my heart...
Warm October nights You came and cuddled next to me baby Yeah yeah yeah Our noses brushed so close I wished it was our souls Drifting off to sleep I could hear the little snores you made Watching eyes shut tight Like doors to something sweeter, where you rest
Tear me off a piece of blanket Keep me warm and we can make it Here′s my heart, I′ll let you break it Touched your skin and I can take it
Light will creep in soon And I still haven′t slept a wink baby Yeah yeah yeah I wish the sun would hide its head So I could watch you dream some more Wish the sun would hide its head So I could watch you dream some more I wanna watch you dream some more I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you dream some more, I wanna watch you dream some more , girl I wanna watch you dream some more I wanna watch you I wanna watch you dream some more I wanna watch you dream some more, girl I wanna watch you dream some more I wanna watch you,
Tear me off a piece of blanket Keep me warm and we can make it Here′s my heart, I′ll let you break it Touched your skin
Everytime I try to read between the lines I′m left wondering that I did so wrong Everytime I try, try to rationalize When everyone went wrong why didn′t we die? Everytime I think about what it would be like without all the things you give to me All these thoughts keep runnning thru my head Nothing to beleive Look back find the things I lost There′s nothing left there so it seems Up hill both ways Nothing left to say I don′t know how I made it this far I don′t know how I made it last this long I don′t know why I try All these things keeps going thru my head Don′t know which way to turn Each path goes up hill both ways Nothing but dust Since I learned, up hill both ways Nothing left to say I don′t know how I made it this far I don′t know how I made it last this long I don′t know why I try Up hill both ways Nothing left to do now I don′t want nothing today
When I look into your eyes, I can see Such a sad man in disguise Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me, I can see Hurts my heart to see you cry Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
I don′t know you anymore, I wish I knew what′s wrong Can′t we try to slam that door, start a brand new song
I know you′re lonely and you cry, wondering why I know you′re lonely but if once, you could help me understand What it takes to be a man Look back on what you′ve said, and the life you′ve led Is it what you dreamed when you were young like me
And now it′s time you took something back just for the sake of your mind, your mind, your mind When I look into your eyes, I can see Life has buried you alive Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me You can′t breathe Heart as big as ocean′s wide Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
I heard a voice last night It said wake up and open your eyes Wake up, walk out tonight Cause’ she don′t care if your dead or alive Dead or alive
She moves like beams of light Straight through this universe in my head Where I get peace of mind I′m free from the stupid things that I said She′s all in my head
Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too long But there′s a planet I have found And you are far away
Somewhere behind her eyes Some supernatural energy Takes me for quite the ride Across time where I defy gravity This energy
Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too long But there′s a planet I have found And you are far away for now
(talking)
Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too Did I get lost while I was gone I traveled space for much too long But there′s a planet I have found And you are far away (far away) You are far away Far away for now
Call me out You stayed inside One you love is where you hide Shot me down as I flew by Crash and burn I think sometimes you forget where the heart is
Answer no to these questions Let her go Learn a lesson It′s not me You′re not listening now Can′t you see something′s missing You forget where the heart is
Take you away from that empty apartment You stay and forget where the heart is Someday If ever you love me you′d say it′s okay
Waking up from this nightmare How′s your life What′s it like there Is it all what you want it to be Does it hurt when you think about me and how broken my heart is
Take you away from that empty apartment You stay and forget where the heart is Someday If ever you love me you′d say it′s okay
It′s okay to be angry and never let go It only gets harder The more that you know
When you get lonely If no one′s around you know that I′ll catch you when you′re falling down
We came together but you left alone And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again And you′ll look me in my eyes and call me your friend
Take you away from that empty apartment You stay and forget where the heart is Someday If ever you love me you′d say its okay It′s okay It′s okay
One more trip down To the lost and found To find your heart that the Quarterback punk dropped on the ground One more trip down To the lost and found To find your heart
Left out, the one they picked last for the big ball game Beat up after class No doubt, you′ll show ′em one day, you are not the same You won′t be the last one anymore
One long walk down Through the hallway now You’re finding out that you don’t fit in this time around One long walk, the hallway now You feel left out
Left out, the one they picked last for the big ball game Beat up after class No doubt, you′ll show ′em one day you are not the same You won′t be the last one anymore
Left out, the one they picked last for the big ball game Beat up after class No doubt, you′ll show ′em one day you are not the same You won′t be the last one anymore
Left out, the one they picked last for the big ball game Beat up after class No doubt, you′ll show them one day you are not the same You won′t be the last one...
I′m just so tired, Won′t you sing me to sleep, And fly through my dreams, So I can hitch a ride, with you tonight And get away from this place, Have a new name and face, I just ain′t the same without you in my life
Late night drives, all alone in my car I can′t help but start Singing lines from all our favorite songs And melodies in the air Singing, life just ain′t fair Sometimes I still just can′t believe you′re gone
[chorus] And I′m sure the view from heaven Beats the hell out of mine here And if we all believe in heaven Maybe we′ll make it through one more year Down here
Feel your fire, When it′s cold in my heart, And things sort of start, Reminding me of my last night with you I only need one more day, Just one more chance to say I wish that I had gone up with you too
[Chorus] And I′m sure the view from heaven Beats the hell out of mine here And if we all believe in heaven Maybe we′ll make it through one more year Down here
You won′t be coming back And I didn′t get to say goodbye (goodbye) I really wish I got to say goodbye
[Chorus] And I′m sure the view from heaven Beats the hell out of mine here And if we all believe in heaven Maybe we′ll make it through one more year
I hope that all is well in heaven Cause it′s all shot to hell down here (we need you here) I hope that I find you in Heaven (singing in heaven) Cause I′m so lost without you down here
You won′t be coming back And I didn′t get to say goodbye (goodbye) I really wish I got to say goodbye
It′s six in the morning, you still haven′t slept yet you′re tired from all yesterday, but all you can do is just try to wake up and prepare for what tomorrow will bring, it′s cold out it′s raining, no one to complain just wishing the time will go by sitting here anxious a touch too ambitious so tell me what time do we end this on going process cuz someday you′ll have to begin, working your ass off while they sit relaxing
do the same thing day after day working only cuz i do it the right way and soon these things will change you lost all you live in the world underneath [repeat]
woke up this morning you realized it′s ok you′re taking some time to just look at the sky the sun is still shining, i realize that life isn′t working from 6 and not thinking twice, you still got your brain and you still got your life, but your running out of things all the time misunderstaments about how we live running around all the time
one day these thoughts will come together, one day this shit will work out fine. it′s just like they said it, but it seems like forever, yes i′m distorted a blur in your mind, and the ever race you run, it′s only with yourself. overcome the obstacles you just you need you, nobody else
Possessions The last thing on my mind I don′t give a fuck about the ties or kind I don′t want all the things you have I love my life,it really isn′t that bad
The last thing on my mind Is to give a fuck about the ties or kind On my mind
You are a rich kid with a rich mom and dad I can have anything I want;I can have anything you have Have,boats,trains,planes,or cars I don′t have to work,dad will get me really far
The last thing on my mind Is to give a fuck about the ties or kind On my mind
[Piano Interlude]
Well,you are a rich kid with a rich mom and dad Anything I want,anything you have This whole country could be mine I have enough money to buy anything anytime
(Let′s burn a hole so we can climb out Of these paper walls in this empty house Don′t listen too close, their words are like guns With bullets that fly, and kill what you′ve won)
Let′s burn a hole so we can climb out Of these paper walls in this empty house Where the only thing that′s real Is visions we have of ten years ago Of stars in the sky and us down below With streets and East Coast lines We kept this scene alive
Here I am I still hold onto this Dream we had I won′t let ago of it Hear me now you will never be alone
Don′t listen too close their words are like guns With bullets that fly and kill what you′ve won Some love to hate and some tell you lies So let′s make a toast and kiss them goodbye We′ll kiss them all goodbye
Here I am I still hold onto this Dream we had I won′t let ago of it Hear me now you will never be alone
Here I stand won′t turn back again Won′t leave you know how hard it′s been Hear me now you will never be alone Yeah
Let′s take what hurts and write it all down On these paper walls in this empty house And when our ink runs out We′ll burn into the ground
Here I am Still hold onto this Dream we had Won′t let go of it Hear me now You will never be alone
Here I stand won′t turn back again Won′t leave you know how hard it′s been Hear me now you will never be alone Yeah
Grey skies, clouding up the things We used to see with wide eyes Maybe everything was meant to be this way Will it ever change, Or are we stuck here on our own? It′s all gone grey It′s all gone grey
I′ve found telling you the truth The hardest thing to get out I know it wasn′t you That made me feel this way Will it ever change, Or are we stuck here on our own?
And give it one more try I don′t know if I will stay But I feel so much better now And, baby, begging me Will leave you so empty inside So you shouldn′t even try
I know every last regret Inside of me is my own The way I hold them close Has made me be this way I will never change I know I′m stuck here on my own My own
And give it one more try I don′t know if I will stay But I feel so much better now Where did we go wrong? I know you still hold on to me But it′s time that you let go
I gave you things I had That I could not give back again But I′m better off alone It′s all gone grey It′s all gone grey It′s all gone grey It′s all gone grey
Here it is One more glass for these broken hands Goes down for you
I′ve fallen in I sink then swallow I never meant To see this through
I′m taking ′em all I′m taking ′em all back for good To a place where I know that I′m safe There I can fall There I can fall where I should In this bottle with all my mistakes
All the days since I′ve landed I lost the way to find my truth To float away and leave me stranded What′s left to say? I′ll look for you
I′m taking ′em all I′m taking ′em all back for good To a place where I know that I′m safe There I can fall There I can fall where I should In this bottle with all my mistakes
I could sleep But when I wake you′d still be gone And you′re my air I could breathe If you would stay here another song So I could stay
I could sleep But when I wake you′d still be gone And you′re my air I could breathe If you would stay here another song And I could stay
I′m taking ′em all I′m taking ′em all back for good To a place where I know that I′m safe There I can fall There I can fall where I should In this bottle with all my mistakes
I feel things changing when I move It’s a distance, its a difference Across this planet without you And you might call this a downfall It′s one long night that I’m passing through It′s a dark one what have I done It’s one long night
Don′t turn your back on me now You can′t do this So don′t say you can live without You can′t do this alone How did I end up like this the lonely one Your greatest takedown You take me down
Left last night with a long goodbye With some red wine through a phone line Told you thoughts that multiply That I don′t know how to let go We′ve been here many times before I am empty when you leave me What′s one more
Don′t turn your back on me now You can′t do this So don′t say you can live without You can′t do this alone How did I end up like this the broken one Your greatest takedown You take me down
I won′t get by I won′t heal in time I won′t get by
Don′t turn your back on me now You can′t do this So don′t say you can live without You can′t do this alone How did I end up like this the chosen one Your greatest takedown You take me down
I can′t keep this together And I might lose this year Can′t get through December And you know all my fears
Someplace, somewhere behind me I walked right through the truth Truth is that you′re the one thing That always pulls me through This troubled life I choose
You are the one that I need You know that I can still bleed Bring me back to life Bring me back to life You bring me down from my cloud You keep my feet on the ground Bring me back to life Bring me back to life
When I thought that I might Be invincible It wasn′t long before I Was invisible To your eyes and I swear There′s nothing left in here And the more you say you don′t care The more I know you′re there
You are the one that I need You know that I can still bleed Bring me back to life Bring me back to life You bring me down from my cloud You keep my feet on the ground Bring me back to life Bring me back to life
Can′t keep this together (You are the one that I need) Can′t stay sick forever (You know that I can still bleed) Can′t stop this disaster (You bring me down from my cloud) Can′t fall any faster
You are the one that I need You know that I can still bleed Bring me back to life Bring me back to life
You are the one that I need You know that I can still bleed Bring me back to life Bring me back to life You bring me down from my cloud You keep my feet on the ground Bring me back to life Bring me back to life
You are the one that I need You know that I can still bleed You bring me down from my cloud You keep my feet on the ground
There′s a place off Ocean Avenue Where I used to sit and talk with you We were both sixteen and it felt so right Sleeping all day, staying up all night Staying up all night
There′s a place on the corner of Cherry Street We would walk on the beach in our bare feet We were both eighteen and it felt so right Sleeping all day, staying up all night Staying up all night
If I could find you now, things would get better We could leave this town and run forever Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah
There′s a piece of you that′s here with me It′s everywhere I go, it′s everything I see When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by I can make believe that you′re here tonight That you′re here tonight
If I could find you now things would get better We could leave this town and run forever I know somewhere, somehow we′ll be together Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah
I remember the look in your eyes When I told you that this was goodbye You were begging me not tonight Not here, not now We′re looking up at the same night sky And keep pretending the sun will not rise We′ll be together for one more night somewhere, somehow
If I could find you now things would get better We could leave this town and run forever I know somewhere, somehow we′ll be together Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah
Sew this up with threads of reason and regret So, I will not forget. I will not forget How this felt one year six months ago I know I cannot forget. I cannot forget
I′m falling into memories of you and things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that I can share with you
I can tell that you don′t know me anymore It′s easy to forget, sometimes we just forget And being on this road is anything but sure Maybe we′ll forget, I hope we don′t forget
I′m falling into memories of you and things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that I can share with you
So many nights, legs tangled tight Wrap me up in a dream with you Close up these eyes, try not to cry All that I′ve got to pull me through is memories of you Memories of you Memories of you Memories of you
I′m falling into memories of you and things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that we can share Falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa For the longest time Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa For the longest time
If you said, goodbye to me tonight There would still be music enough to write What else can I do, I′m so inspired by you You haven′t been there For the longest time
If you said, that I was the one that was wrong Would I have the strength to carry on That′s why you found me When you put your arms around me You haven′t been there For the longest time Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa For the longest time Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa For the longest time
That voice you′re hearing in the hall When the greatest miracle of all That′s where you found me When you put your arms around me You haven′t been there For the longest time
If you said, that I was the one that was wrong Would I have the strength to carry on I′ll take my chances I almost forgot how sweet romance is You haven′t been there for the longest time
This is a just a matter of Me getting what I needed ′Til I was safe up on the other side Of the international Date Line It was just a matter of Me keeping myself seated ′Til the pilot killed the overdrive And landed in a place where you can′t
Find me there Find me there
When you hold one chance And you break your hands When the secret′s safe And you call my name Then I am gone
I am tired of you and me And the spaces in between And I would rather be somewhere With better thoughts and warmer air I′m tired of trying to be Somebody different than me I′m tired of trying to shine it on When the lights go out Tonight I′m gone
I′ll run from here Run
When you hold one chance And you break your hands When the secret′s safe When you call my name
When the heart gets railed And you still can′t feel When you can′t escape And you can not stay Then I am gone
Safe up on the other side Of the international date line I landed in a place That you can′t find
You can′t find me there You can′t find me there
When you hold one chance And you break your hands When the secret′s safe And you call my name When the heart gets railed And you still can′t feel When you can′t escape And you can not stay Then I am gone
Safe up on the other side Of the international date line I landed in a place That you can′t find
When the last plane leaves And you cry for me When you lie awake And you feel it break Then I am gone
What′s a Dad for, Dad? Tell me why I′m here, Dad Whisper in my ear That I′m growing up to be a better man, Dad Everything is fine, Dad Proud that you are my Dad Cause I know Im growing up to be a better man
Father, I will always be That same boy that stood by the sea And watched you tower over me Now I′m older, I want to be the same as you
Whats a dad for, Dad? Taught me how to stand, Dad Took me by the hand, Dad And showed me how to be a bigger man, Dad Listened when you talked, Dad Followed where you walked, Dad And you know that I will always do the best I can, I can
Father, I will always be (always be) that same boy that stood by the sea And watched you tower over me (over me) Now I′m older I want to be the same as you The same as you
Father, I will always be that same boy that stood by the sea And watched you tower over me Now I′m older I want to be the same as you
Father, I will always be that same boy that stood by the sea And watched you tower over me Now I′m older I want to be the same as you
seeing what the cause has left us there′s no strength to minimize they try and so hard to change us but we see through these conscious eyes there will be nowhere to point the blame cause it′ll lay on top of everyone there′s still time now to be save but there′s still so much that must be done
sit and yourself just when your final days will come in a never ending war somehow they think they′re already won and one day we′ll see who′s right and one day they′ll see just what they′ve done one day they′ll see the obvious time will tell it won′t be long
will we be inferior
surpassed by the machines we build will there be a judgement day all i can say is time will tell
Christmas break of ′98, just flipped me upside-down One coast out to the other, following the sound Headed west, to get the best of what we all knew then One ocean to another, waves come crashing down Carrying just me, Aunt Stephanie, she held my hand Told me, why I was Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
California, a place they say glistens gold I wanna go there and never come back home, yeah
Staring up at freeway signs, in dreams that make me sad One coast out to the other One ocean to another We cruised out to the other side
Loved us in Nebraska How they cheered us in Mattane Told me why, I was Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
California, a place they say glistens gold I wanna go there and never come back home
California, a place they say glistens gold I wanna go there and never come back home
You and me A little different though we tried to stay the same It never leaves And when it changes it is still a waiting game
I wait for a lonely breath I wait to surface from this depth Wait for the light to come and take away These images I′ve kept In my head.
More then ever I need to feel you More then ever I see the real you
You are me A worse disaster would be waking up alone Now we′re free We′re drifting out like all the ones we didn′t know
I wait for a silence here I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop Moving underneath My only fear If I lose you, I don′t know
More than ever I need to feel you, its all around More than ever I see the real you, and it surrounds
Everything, everything we have had. Out of sight, out of mind given that What I see when I dream hurts like hell and back Everything, everything we have had, Out of sight, out of mind given that What I see when I dream hurts like hell and back
More than ever, I need to feel you Its all around More that ever I see the real you And it surrounds More that ever I need to feel you Its all around More that ever I see the real you And it surrounds
The whole world was sleeping and I was there You could just sense this feeling in the air Like no one′s words were good enough To define what we fear And no one′s words were strong enough To fix what happened here
Lead on to save me lead us all there Find me some answers one nation beware Can′t tell the difference between myth and man Or what′s necessary or where I should stand
The whole world is different now men have died You can just sense this feeling in our eyes Like no one′s hands are big enough To hold on to this fear And no one′s hands are strong enough To fix what happened here
Lead on to save me lead us all there Find me some answers one nation beware Can′t tell the difference between myth and man Or what′s necessary or where I should stand
So do we dare now Raise our voices loud We′re searching for something that cannot be found I hear open mouths And I see open hands But the blinded and silent I can′t understand
The whole world is watching with one blank stare I can just sense this feeling of ill repair Like no one′s heart is full enough To keep away this fear And no one′s heart is strong enough To fix what happened here
Lead on to save me lead us all there Find me some answers it′s time that you shared Can′t tell the difference between myth and man Or what′s necessary or where I should stand
So do we dare now Raise our voices loud We′re searching for something that cannot be found I hear open mouths And I see open hands But the blinded and silent I can′t understand
I got to tell you that he waited all his life For someone like you to come make the wrong things right I know he didn′t have the answers all the time But you can′t tell me that you′ve never told a lie
We′re almost twenty-three and you′re still mad at me So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now Twenty-three and it′s so sad to me You tell the world I′m dead to you But I know you want me back now
Was it fun for you to watch him fall apart? (Watch me fall) And suffocate him while you held him in your arms (in your arms) I swear to God I wish he never let you in (let you in) And I just hope we never hear from you again
We′re almost twenty-three and you′re still mad at me So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now Twenty-three and it′s so sad to me you tell the world I′m dead to you But I know you want me back
Wasted on you (wasted on you) Wasted on you (so much time I′ve) Wasted on you (wasted on you) Wasted on you On you On you
Twenty-three and you′re still mad at me So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now Twenty-three and it′s so sad to me You tell the world I′m dead to you But I know you want me back now
It won′t be long now The music′s on loud We′ll sing this song out And then we′ll lie down Ill hold you close then Ill let you know when The space and time bend And then we′ll fall in
Go put on your best tonight It′s you and me and one spotlight One more show one last time We are ready
Say you will be all around me When your body sets your heart free Say you will be all around me
Ill look for your eyes To keep me inside When everything dies But one last sunrise And when we stand there together not scared I′ll dry your last tear And then we′re just air
Go put on your best tonight It′s you and me and not much time So watch the world burning bright We are ready
Say you will be all around me When your body sets your heart free Say you will be all around me Say you′ll get me through the ending Take my body set my heart free Say you′ll get me through the ending
Go put on your best tonight It′s you and me and one spotlight One more show one last time It won′t be long now
Say you will be all around me When your body sets your heart free Say you will be all around me Say you′ll get me through the ending Take my body set my heart free Say you′ll get me before the ending Say you will be (you won′t be long) All around me (you won′t be long now)
Said I′d move on and I′d leave it alone But before I walk out there is something that I need you to know I got lost in the blink of an eye And I could never get back, no I never got back …
You were not there when I wanted to say That you were everything right And it wasn′t you but me that changed Now I gotta go it alone But I will never give up, no I′ll never give up.
What am I fighting for? There must be something more For all these words I sing Do you feel anything?
Said “I′m ok”, but I know how to lie You were all that I had You were delicate and hard to find Got lost in the back of my mind And I could never get back, no I never got back
You were not there when I needed to say I hit the bottom so fast That my head was spinning ‘round for days Now I gotta go it alone But I will never give up… No I′ll never give up…
What am I fighting for? There must be something more For all these words I sing Do you feel anything?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
Never give up….. on this Never give up…. Up on this Never give up…. On this Never give uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup on this
Said “I′m ok” but I know how to lie I will never give up, no I′ll never give up
What am I fighting for? There must be something more For all these words I sing Do you feel anything?
What am I fighting for? No, I′m never gonna give up, give up
What am I fighting for? No, I′m never gonna give up, give up
Said that I′d fight for the one that I found I′m gonna stay here while I wait for you to come around I′ll fight, you′re a part of me now And I will never give up, no I′ll never give up
Broken This fragile thing now And I can′t I can′t pick up the pieces And I′ve thrown my words all around But I can′t I can′t give you a reason
I feel so broken up (So broken up) And I give up (I give up) I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go Scream my lungs out and try to get to you You are my only one I let go, there′s just no one that gets me like you do You are my only My only one
Made my mistakes Let you down And I can′t I can′t hold on for too long Ran my whole life in the ground And I can′t I can′t get up when you′re gone
And something′s breaking up (Breaking up) I feel like giving up (Like giving up) I won′t walk out until you know
Here I go Scream my lungs out and try to get to you You are my only one I let go, there′s just no one that gets me like you do You are my only My only one
Here I go so dishonestly Leave a note, for you my only one And I know you can see right through me So let me go and you will find someone
Here I go Scream my lungs out and try to get to you You are my only one I let go, there′s just no one, no one like you You are my only My only one
My only one My only one My only one You are my only My only one
Hello friend, it’s been too long, And every town sings the same sad song.
Hello friend, it’s been too long, And every town sings the same sad song. Without you here this hotel year, We’ll sure slow down, with so much left to hear.
Chorus: Let′s jet back down (That highway now) blast stereo’s loud. Let′s jet back down that highway now.
The finish line is almost here And someone softly whispers in my ear, Times like these are memories to hold Deep down inside of you and me (Chorus x2)
I’m not leaving you, I’m not leaving (I’m not leaving you, I’m not leaving) (Goodbye friend it wont be long and Untill then we’ll sing the same sad song) Sad song (Chorus x2)
Lets jet back down (that highway now) Lets jet back down (that highway now) Lets jet back down (that highway now)
Some guys-ooh,they′re really something They′re always acting like they′re so hot And you-you don′t seem any different I keep a wishin′ but I guess you′re not
You wanna what? I don′t think so. I don′t waste my time on guys like that You might be tough But that′s not enough to make it last You wanna what?
Those eyes-ooh,I see right through′em The way you stare gives you away Don′t even go there-ooh,you just don′t get it Real love can′t be that way
You wanna what? I don′t think so. I don′t waste my time on guys like that You might be tough But that′s not enough to make it last You wanna what?
Ooh, don′t you think you oughta be ashamed Ooh, I hate to tell you I don′t play that game
You wanna what? I don′t think so. I don′t waste my time on guys like that You might be tough But that′s not enough to make it last You wanna what?
You wanna what? I don′t think so. I don′t waste my time on guys like that You might be tough But that′s not enough to make it last You wanna what?
Trembling Hold me now I′m torn between silence and violent expression Tired of believing everyone wants to care And cherish someone I′m so scared of never having anyone
Haunted by my abandoned dreams Tiny voices where would be screams
Now be still, it wont be long We will be together in search of a new life Striving as one in this will to find Something pure I′m missing you now I′m quite sure That I finally found someone
Lie in this empty bed With this aching head You left me here this morning Now I can′t remember why I let you in again To get under my skin And every time you disappear I remember
How I look for you But I can′t see your face And then I hear you The only thing you say...
I am afraid right now I don′t wanna let you down And I am the one who can′t be saved The only thing I say I am afraid right now What if I can′t get out? What if I don′t want to be saved? This is me afraid
Now there′s no place like home To make me feel alone I see you everywhere I am And I remember how you ran out to hide You kept me close behind Following your every move so I remember
I look for you But I can′t see your face And then I hear you The only thing you say...
I am afraid right now I don′t wanna let you down And I am the one who can′t be saved The only thing I say I am afraid right now What if I can′t get out? What if I don′t want to be saved? This is me afraid
I look for you But I can′t see your face Then I hear you The only thing you say is Don′t look for me Cause you will never say You won′t hear me You won′t hear me
Why do we keep this up? Why do we live like us? When there is nothing left to save Will you be afraid?
I am afraid right now You already let me down You are the one who can′t be saved If only I could say I am afraid right now You never will get out You′ll never let yourself be saved You are so afraid You are so afraid
Watching the days burning out like a cigarette, just a few drags to go. You built me up and you broke me down, somehow Everything just seemed so clear to me, nothing left to know I′ll love you right and I′ll love you pure, right now
How can you say, that its too late To save us now
And I would wait for you, if you would wait for me And I will Wait for you, if you will wait for me
Intoxicated, the edge is serrated, so easily torn from the core I blushed the first time, but you blushed the last time my eyes hit your mind Regenerated these feelings of hatred. I long for your love ever more You built me up and you broke me down this time
And I would wait for you, if you would wait for me And I will Wait for you, if you will wait for me
How can you say that its too late, to save us now How can you say
Needed some time, so I could find A little strength to redefine What I’ve become, what I have done I never asked to be the one
I’m riding it out, this storm that you brought in Bringing it down, only around, for you I go again It’s got to be, easy to see What everyone takes out of me Knocking me down, dragging me out How did you end up in that crowd?
Did you run away? Did you fall apart? Do you see yourself for what you are? Will you be looking for it anymore? When five becomes four When you′re all alone with a melody Do you close your eyes and think of me Will you still hear me singing anymore When five becomes four
Try and put aside, your history and pride Maybe for one moment in time, we′ll all be on your side The story goes, nobody knows What it was like when you would throw Someone who cared out in the air Then let them crash down anywhere
Did you run away? Did you fall apart? Do you see yourself for what you are? Will you be looking for it anymore? When five becomes four When you′re all alone with a melody Do you close your eyes and think of me? Will you still hear me singing anymore? When five becomes four
Remember the line, never say die? You were the reason I survived Where did you go? I need to know I waited here, you never showed It’s gonna be, harder for me I can′t forgive so many things When you were down, I was around Why would you try and hurt me now
Just tell me why Just tell me why
Did you run away Did you run away Did you run away
Did you run away? Did you fall apart? Do you see yourself for what you are? Will you be looking for it anymore? When five becomes four When you′re all alone with a melody Do you close your eyes and think of me? Will you still hear me singing anymore? When five becomes four
Don′t know What I was looking for when I went home I found me alone Sometimes I need someone to say, you′ll be alright What′s on your mind? But the waters shallow here And I am full of fear And empty handed after two long years
Another sunny day in California I′m sure back home they′d love to see it But they don′t know that what you love is ripped away Before you get a chance to feel it
Back home I always thought I wanted so much more Now im not too sure Cause sometimes I miss knowing someones there for me And feeling free Free to stand beside The ocean in moonlight And light myself a smoke beneath The dark atlantic sky
Another sunny day in California I′m sure back home they′d love to see it But they don′t know that what you love is ripped away Before you get a chance to feel it
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line Tearing lives apart breakin lots of hearts just to pass the time And the eyes get red in the back of your head This place will make you blind Put it all behind me and I′ll be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky Sometimes I wish that it would rain here And wash away the west coast dreamin from my eyes There′s nothing real for them to see here
Another starry night in California I′m sure back home they′d love to see it But they don′t know that what you love is ripped away Before you get a chance to feel it
I work all night For one more day that I can say I′m all alone, alone I just need time And I will say what I believe and I′ll come home, home And all I know
[Chorus]
I never thought I would wake up in bed Watching the world coming down on my head I′d sleep like a dog if you would never had said This is the world coming down on your head
As life flies by I′m not sure how I′m gonna do this all again, again So write my line I write this down and I′m just trying to find the end, the end And all I know
[Chorus]
You gave it to me I remember it well You got the world coming down on your head There′s nothing to fight for, it′s already dead And this is the world coming down on my head
[Chorus]
I′m not gonna swallow now that I′m fed Cos I want the world coming down on my head I′m just gonna find out you′re already dead And that was the world coming down on your head
I could tell you the wildest of tales My friend the giant and traveling sails Tell you all the times that I′ve failed The years all behind me the stories exhaled
And I′m drying out Crying out This isn′t how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall Who said lifes a circus and so we are small Tell you of a girl that I saw I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I′m drying out Crying out This isn′t how I go Hurry now Lay me down And let these waters flow...flow
Son I am not everything You thought that I would be But every story I have told Is part of me
You keep the air in my lungs Floating along as a melody comes My heart beats like timpani drums Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I′m drying out Crying out This isn′t how I go Hurry now Lay me down And let these waters flow...flow Let it flow Let it flow
Son I am not everything You thought that I would be But every story I have told Is part of me Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do And every story I have told is part of you
All that I needed to hear from you something of value but something untrue all that I wished that I′d find within you
See how what she wanted and she needed tore it all down in the end some how like a sickness she infects me She′s simple but deadly my friend
All that I needed to hear from you something of value but something untrue all that I wished that I′d find within you
stings when I see all the ways that you took me for granted and told me its through picked from my pockets and smiled empty is nothing and nothing is you I think I′ll just sit for awhile for awhile.....
See how what I wanted and I needed it wasn′t enough in the end some how with a quickness I forgot her I realized she wasn′t my friend (2x)
All that I needed to hear from you something of value but something untrue all that I wished that I′d find within you stings when I see all the ways that you took me for granted and told me its through picked from my pockets and smiled empty is nothing and nothing is you I think I′ll just sit for awhile
All that I wished that I′d find with in you something of value something untrue
I′m back, back in town, and everything has changed. I feel, feel let down, the faces stay the same. I see, see shadows, of who we used to be. When I drive, drive so slow, through this memory.
When we were only kids, and we were best of friends, and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest.
I heard, heard myself say things I take back. If I could, could re-tell and make these stories last. I see, see shadows of who we′ll always be. When I drive, drive these roads that made our memories.
When we were only kids, and we were best of friends, and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest.
The shadows and regrets, let go of the rest.
Everything has changed, (everything has changed) the faces stay the same (faces stay the same)
Everything has changed, (everything has changed) the faces stay the same
When we were only kids, and our time couldn′t end, and how tall did we stand, with the world in our hands.
And we were only kids, and we were best of friends, and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest.
The shadows and regrets, let go of the rest. The shadows and regrets, let go of the rest.
He likes vampires and hitlist radio But turns it off when he hears This one song he knows And you breathe the windows down
You′re driving I4* as you make your way back home You ride in silence because He will not let go And you breathe the windows down It′s a new place that you have found
[Chorus] But I′ve been up late writing books All about heroes and crooks One of them saves you from this The other one steals you and then Sure things fall And all sure things fall
Do you remember how we used to get so high? It didn′t work at first We tried it two more times And we could breathe the windows down
I was thinking of the temperature outside Cool like the water That was running from our eyes And we could breathe the windows down It′s a new place that we have found
[Chorus]
He could take you all the way to church this time But don′t forget you Summed it up in fifty lies
But I′ve been up late writing books All about heroes and crooks One of them saves you from this The other one steals you
Of all of the places I′ve looked And all of the pictures I took One of them is here with me now I′m finally finding out how Sure things fall All sure things fall
Hello, you, how was the rest? You made it through, but nevertheless I got you out on a wire. You be love and I′ll be a liar.
Tell it all and fill up the air, But make it loud cause nobody′s there And nobody′s there And nobody′s there
[chorus] Stop, turn, take a look around At all the lights and sounds. Let ′em bring you in. Slow burn, let it all fade out, Pull the curtain down. I wonder where you′ve been?
Make it new, but stay in the lines. Just let go, but keep it inside. Smile big for everyone, Even when you know what they′ve done. They gave you the end but not where to start; Not how to build, how to tear it apart.
So tell it all and fill up the air, But make it loud cause nobody′s there And nobody′s there
Stop, turn, take a look around At all the lights and sounds. Let ′em bring you in. Slow burn, let it all fade out, Pull the curtain down. I wonder where you′ve been?
I′ve got a way to work this out, I′ve got a way and you know how. [x2]
I′ve got a way to work this out, I′ve got a way.
I′ve got a way to work this out, I′ve got a way and you know how. I′ve got a way to work this out, I′ve got a way. [x2]
Stop, turn, take a look around At all the lights and sounds. Let ′em bring you in. Slow burn, let it all fade out, Pull the curtain down. I wonder where you′ve been?
You earned everything you found, And painted faces frown. I′ll say I knew you when...
Maybe it′s not over yet somewhere inside him must be some new dream awaiting the topple the rest when he finds himself feeling alive yet alone...
Maybe the best he can get is still out of his reach
Ran from the life that he hates hoping to find some new beginning abandoned the future they gave and took away knowing what they would say
destined to rise above all of the simplified answers they gave him back there when surrounded by love he could not make sense of feeling alive yet alone
Maybe the best he can get is simply burned by fate
yet he knows he′s the champion of the planet but he′s told he was wrong for somehow deciding to run from the life that he hates hoping to find some new beginning abandoned the future they gave and took away knowing what they would say
