Was it you who spoke the words
that things would happen but not to me Oh things are gonna happen naturally And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side And balancing the whole thing But often times those words get tangled up in lines And the bright lights turn to night Until the dawn it brings Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others just read of Others only dream of the love The love that i love See I'm all about them words Over numbers unencumbered numbered words Hundreds of pages pages pages forwards More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others just read of and if you could see me Now love love you and I you and i Not so little you and I anymore And with this silence brings a moral story more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of and if you could see now well I'm already finally out of And it's okay if you have go away just remember the telephone works both ways and if I never ever hear it ring if nothing else I'll think the bells inside have finally found you someone else and that's okay cause I'll remember everything you sang you and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of and if you could see me now well I'm already finally out of words |

I saw fireworks from the freeway
and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring now something on the surface it stings that something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this and what kind of god would serve this? We will cure this dirty old disease if you`ve got the poison I`ve got the remedy the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end. I won`t worry my life away. I won`t worry my life away. I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack they were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right back after this the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophy dance with me, because if you`ve got the poison, I`ve got the remedy the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end. I won`t worry my life away. I won`t worry my life away. When I fall in love I take my time There`s no need to hurry when I`m making up my mind You can turn off the sun but I`m still gonna shine and I`ll tell you why Because the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how you`re gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end. I won`t worry my life away. I won`t worry my life away. I won`t and I won`t and I won`t |

Good-day sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are You don't know me but I know you You're my favorite star Follow you I will so lets get moving Who needs shelter when the mornings coming? Absolutely there's no one Who needs shelter from the sun? Not me, no. not anyone. By your clock the cock rooster crows Then off to work where everybody goes Slow, But eventually they get there Picking up the day shift back where all left off Confined and pecking at relationships You know it's only a worthless piece of shit Who needs shelter when the mornings coming? Absolutely there's no one Who needs shelter from the sun? Not me, no. not anyone. I'd sleep it all away but the sun wont let me I'd miss those lovely days of summer Good-day sunlight I'd like to say how truly bright you are You don't know me but I know you You're my favorite. |

His after moan though cries oh no
He's building up a shine but he take it slow And he knows it time to make a change here And time to get away And he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons And time to end the pain But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again Why don't we? She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord Would he take it all back what they've done No way he said take it, take it and don't make it with your own two hands That was my old man and he said if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us and we knew it was time to take a chance here and time to compromise our lives for awhile and it was time for all the wrong reasons but time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again as time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another Marlboro mile wide it's sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun to swim beneath or over outside as they're reading between the lines then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams and reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to and they knew it was time, time to take a chance here time to compromise our little lives for just a little while and they knew it was time for all the wrong reasons as time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord Would he take it all back what they've done No way he said take it, take it and don't break it with your own two hands That was my old man and he said if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it |

You. You were a friend. You were a friend of mine I let you spend the night
You see how it was my fault. Of course it was mine. I'm too hard at work. Have you ever heard of anything so absurd ever in your life. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's my job to make the most of it Of course I didn't know that it would happen to me. Not that easy. Hey what's that you say? You're not blaming me for anything that's great But I don't break that easy. Does it fade away? So that's why I'm apologizing now for telling you I thought that we could make it I just don't get enough to believe that we've both changed. Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's my time to make the most of it How could I ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no All along the fault is up for grabs why don't you have it Well it's for sale go make your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for Pay no more than absolutely zero. Well neither one of us deserves the blame because opportunities moved us away And it's not an easy thing to learn to play a game that's made for two that's you and me The rules remain a mystery. See it can be easy. Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's our time to make the most of it How could we ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no All along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it Well it's for sale go make your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for Pay no more than absolutely zero. |

Sing about that oh love
it's a brittle madness I sing about it in all my sadness Not falsified to say that I found God so Inevitably well it still exists Pale and fine I can't dismiss And I won't resist and if I die well at least I tried And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain And pore over everything we say we trust Well it happened again I listened in through hallways and thin doors Where the rivers unwind rust and the rain endure The rust and the rain so thin Well I'm in like Flynn again I'm in So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock You can stand in line well it finally begins oh just around the block You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not And there is just one thing that I almost forgot Oh, see, you and me we lay awake in lust and rust in the rain And pore over everything we say we trust Well it happened again I listened in through hallways and thin doors Where the rivers unwind the rivers unwind so easy Oh, these are the comforts that be You see, well I'm feeling lucky oh well maybe that's just me Well you'd be proud of me oh well if you could only see How we're gonna grow on up to be Ah yes we are thick as thieves Sing about that oh love it's a brittle madness I sing about it in all my sadness It's not falsified to say that I found God so Inevitably, well it still exists so pale and fine I can't dismiss And I won't resist and if I die well at least I tried And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain And pore over everything we say we trust Well it happened again I listened in through hallways and thin doors Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure The rust and the rain endure, I'm sure Because I'm insofar to know the measure of love ain't lost love will never ever be Insofar to know the measure of love ain't lost love will never ever be Insofar to know the measure of love ain't lost love will never ever be lost on me Oh not tonight, said love will never ever be lost on me Love will never ever be lost on me Love will not be Love will never be lost on me Love will not be lost on me |

Would it take
a bakers dozen to get my point to you Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you Would it take some hailing mary's so full of grace to get my sound to you Will you help me break it down and get on through Down to the other side It's easy if You only try Don't lie down on the job Because Once we hit the top there's no stopping us Should I address all my letters to the well to be Should I say return to sender is just a well be done Should I better not take it so personally if all the good loving is never received Baby if it was me well I wouldn't think twice No not I it's easy if you only try we don't lie down on the job Because once we hit the top there's no stopping us I will drive a thousand miles or I'll meet you at the station If only you would take a vacation from this thing you have created I promise to make it worth your while So c'mon try Baby won't you try It's easy if you do not run I promise you you'll have your fun Because once we hit the top we've just begun There's no stopping us There's no stopping us There's no stopping us |

The night
She brushed her hands upon my flushed cheek Smelled of childhood remnants of a dusty weeping willow Clouds soothe, Shredded by the calico Were oh so vast and quick as I was on my own This time like every other time I believe that I never find Another sweet little girl with sequined sea foam eyes Ocean lapping voice smile coy as the brightest quiet span of sky And I′m all alone again tonight not again, not again, not again And don′t it feel alright And don′t it feel so nice Lovely Still I′m unable to inhale all the riches As I′m awkward as a wound on my bones Still I′ve got cobblestone joints and plate glass points As I′m all by myself tonight not again not again And don′t it feel alright And don′t it feel so nice Lovely Well if you should nervously break down When its time for the shakedown would you take it It′s when you cry just a little but you laugh in the middle That you′ve made it And don′t it feel alright And don′t it feel so nice Lovely Say it again Lovely So lovely To do it again Again Loving again It′s coming again Lovely |
