Clearly I'm a genius
If she only knew it But somewhere in her radius I really blew it I know, I know what I said to her And I know what I did What I don't know is how I could ever be So incredibly stupid [Chorus] (you don't really need to know every last detail. Its hardly worth telling Suffice to say I said that I would be there I never came through) Maybe I'm a genius and She just don't see it I fronted, I should have admitted, She saw right through it I never thought that I could be So underhanded. Somehow I've cornered the market on The double standard [Chorus] For this act of genius And so many others I know I should apologize And see how it goes What am I waiting for? Come on, come on, come on, come on To all of the geniuses [Chorus] |

I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room and it's one of those moments when everything is so clear before the truth goes back into hiding I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding to work on finding something more than this fear It takes so much out of me to pretend tell me now, tell me how to make amends maybe, I need to see the daylight to leave behind this half-life don't you see I'm breaking down lately, something here don't feel right this is just a half-life is there really no escape? no escape from time of any kind I keep trying to understand this thing and that thing, my fellow man I guess I'll let you know when i figure it out but I don't mind a few mysteries they can stay that way it's fine by me and you are another mystery i am missing It takes so much out of me to pretend maybe, I need to see the daylight to leave behind this half-life don't you see I'm breaking down Lately, something here don't feel right this is just a half-life is there really no escape? no escape from time of any kind come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love again 'cause lately something here don't feel right this is just a half-life, without you I am breaking down wake me, let me see the daylight save me from this half-life let's you and I escape escape from time come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love again |

Peace has lost its meaning
now we've hit the ceiling all is said and all is done here goes start again You're better than you think so something I hold onto I'm better too holding on to you start again [CHORUS:] (So meet me and we'll drive this car away we can leave right now what do you say we'll head out for the wide and open spaces if we can clear the way) Save yourself don't save me save the one you may be let it be the best that it can be start again [CHORUS (X2)] |

She's wearing the tee-shirt
of a band I really like maybe that's coincidence maybe that's alright I keep thinking about the way she said "I'll see you soon" was it more than words? I'm just tryin' to find what's on her mind? I don't know when I'll see her but I'm sure that I will its just another matter of time some more time to kill I can imagine so many things her and I sometime in the spring ...something's happening I'm just tryin' to find what's on her mind? [CHORUS:] (I want peace but I don't make it I want love but I don't give it i want hope but I can't find it and I want her to heal me) she's wearing the tee-shirt of my favorite band I should've told her that I was a fan people say I should just leave it be leave it up to destiny but that ain't for me I'm just trying to find what's on her mind? [CHORUS and outros] |

I don't mean to complain but it seems a little strange take me to your leader I sure could use a laugh (I hear) he's made a new birdfeeder and he sleeps in a birdbath who needs to join the circus come on, just look around we are surrounded by a bunch of f**king clowns! they sing la la la la la la la la they all sing la la la la la la la we all sing la la la la la la la la everybody sing, la la la la la la la la its tearing you apart / you haven't got the heart you sit there and complain, it seems a little lame. good morning, Mr. Misanthrope I sure do hope you remember our terms |

I'm threading through the evening
It's later than I thought A friend of mine is waiting For cigarettes I brought She smiles, she seems so tired So nothing is required I reach into my pocket Some things she left behind Nothing really happens In ways I can't define Loose talk of hearts and heads Of sleep in other beds It's better left unsaid She says that she is cold I wish that I could hold But no How can you hold a soul? You just can't hold a soul That shines like gold She shines like gold I will, I won't, I would I've said more than I should She leaves, she goes uptown She may not come back down She may not come back down She may not turn around She may not make a sound She may not come back down |

Are you aware? when you just stare,
for hours, into the sky what do you see? can you show it to me the beauty... I can see you shine inside I want to see the world - see it in a new light I can feel your spirit rise I want to see the world through your eyes I watch you breathe, sitting under the tree the peace that you find you take my hand, waves crash on the sand what's done - left behind I can see you shine inside I want to see the world - see it in a new light I can feel your spirit rise how it shines scene changes, rearranges oh nature's song the river is fire the river is water the river is sweet sweet wine is it the time? is there a sign? how do I find your state of mind I can see you shine inside I want to see the world - see it in a new light I can feel your spirit rise how it shines scene changes, rearranges oh nature's song I'm seeing, I'm believing I'm feeling strong the river is fire, the river is water the river is sweet, sweet wine the river is moving, moving through me the river it shines inside |
