Sitting in the office
Sitting in your chair The temporary positions Friends that disappear Call a toll-free number Voicemail message clear You might need some assistance Sorry, no one's there You said You said You caught me In the middle of a bad time again Meaning you are living Leaving you alive Like everybody else In the middle of a bad time Who's that call waiting On the telephone line And new friends can get fragile Scrambling for time with you A bad time Bad time In the middle of a bad time How long I've been waiting And collecting calls Yeah don't you want to know You got lots of messages from All over town Some of them know you But most of them are just business as usual You said You said You caught me In the middle of a bad time What's the point of trying To begin again Or even finding out In the middle of a bad time Who gonna help you When the elevator door jams When all you've got are contracts Couldn't give a damn About you A bad time Bad time Middle of a bad time |

Some days are heavy and some days are mean
Some days fall somewhere in between Today i would like to tear you apart at the seams Taking a plane is the worst kind of day Holding your breath in the sky You should never write a letter that high Speaking my mind is not what i do best But i have to get this all off my chest Open this window and hope that these words will fly But hey what does it matter now Cause turning back pages is not something time will allow But wait i never got to say You were digging into me and then you just got away So how can you say that i'm wasting time After all of the years i have spent trying to fill up the hole That you left sitting there in my heart And i'm taking it back And i'm making it mine I am still trying Oh ohhhh oh Some days are heavy and some days are mean Some days fall somewhere in between, in between |

What you get is what you bargained for
At the store aisle in the store I'm wondering what's in store for me Look for the discounts, discount in everything Everything trivial, everything unfriendly They're all out of the good ones again But I'm not looking for a few pennies off Just show me something that doesn't go soft We're all out We're all out Outside everything's colder Kids get older, friends get so far apart Just hold on, to something, anything Convenience highlights imminence The imminence of change And I hold coupons in my hands Empty demands Standing in the aisle Lately it's anything that sets me off At the store aisle, back for more I'm wondering how to start again Because all sales are final Finality finds me looking for discounts Hell-bent on easy and Nothing good ever comes that way But I'm not looking to save a few cents I just need something that doesn't break when it bends But they're all out |

Like glass shattering in a clean break
This is the art of a mistake And we were like kids with a shotgun Blowing up words till there were none And maybe i'm too young I thought that i could destroy it Aimed shot and fired Missed the target But you keep coming abck Hand me fractured words through the lens of time And some things cant be burned Even when they yurn to die |

Saw a car burning down on the side of the highway
Ambulance came but I couldn't tell if it got there on time Lights all a'flashin i could see them through the rear view mirror II watched them disappear F you gimme a ride i can take you higher If you gimme a ride i'll do the same for you Some time People come and go But they fit just like pieces of puzzles Pieces of troubles Lovers come Lovers move on I looked for you in the rubble But i couldn't find you I can't seem to let you go This is where we cross that line This is where we lost our time Abondon love every time For something more If you gimme a ride i can take you higher If you gimme a ride i'll do the same for you Some times |

I am standing outside
The birds are flying west I am in the middle of a puddle With mud on my dress But I liked the way that I was And I wanted to stay that way But I took a walk last night And now everything, everything's changed I like to draw maps I like to show you where I've been This is the place where it's hotter than summer This is where I'm called Madeline Have you ever felt heat so deep in your blood? Where fire meets iron and melts down the core This is the thing that you shouldn't have done And that's what I'm gonna make you pay for this Now that I make this noise I don't have to listen to you You asked to see my compass It's pointed toward the sky Time is going to give up on me I need to learn to fly I'm going to spread my wings And hold my only pain And the birds will commend my island As I swim to the top of the rain |

Looking out from nowhere
Taking in a view I see in the sideway between me and you Nothing is forever you can spend a lifetime learning that Gather your defenses, and we'll always leave you alone Playing back the pictures You can almost taste it now Memory is so sure but it's never quite what is was Everything's distorted when you're looking through the glass Pictures change their color, impressions they always have Markers all scattering light Pulling shadows falling on your back Falling on your eyes We were carrying the corpse Dropped it in a well Tried to salvage something even though we landed in hell You grieve so silently In and out of memory So take another shot before you bend to say goodbye Take another shot before you bend to say goodbye And after all is said After all is said After all is said and done You take it right You take it right?right Back After all is said, it's the only thing on your mind After all is said, it's the only thing on my, only thing Only |

I see you in the car in the night with your lights on
All running the cold towards the dark and the trees There's something pulling me back under your covers But a woman who knows better sees that it's time to leave There's nothing more that i could give to the center Of a place that has never stood still There's not enough room here and there's never enough poison To kill the way that i really feel But when i get home i find you Begging and scratching for more Don't force me to be cruel Find your own way to the door 'cause you have to recognize that i am justified And i, i can break you down You asked for this, you don't have the guts to get over And i'm so tired that's the price of your whys And i don't mind telling you that you made me cry too I was won like a prize and you don't have the guts just to tell me the truth So i leave you in the car in the night with your lights on All running the cold past the dark and the trees Is this what you wanted, evidence of everything I will plead guilty, i need this release |
