It's not so much that you left
It's that you didn't come back It's not the pain that you felt But the obvious lack I was always a step behind I was always a step behind It wasn't watching you go But the way that you went With a kiss on the cheek And a cheque for the rent I was always a step behind I was always a step behind It wasn't really your fault Because you made it mine too While you were looking around I was looking at you I was always a step behind I was always a step behind And I hope you remember when it comes around The gentle release of letting me down And the way that it felt To be high on yourself Blindly running into the new I haven't re-learned to walk It's hard to learn that And it wasn't the fall It was the push in the back I was always a step behind I was always a step behind I didn't see it coming up from behind I was always a step behind |

I miss you tonight in the company of new friends
I can't seem to speak my mind The city is so real, the people look through me And everyone knows my sign All that I see All that I see here is you I'm wreckless out here where time has no meaning The nights seem to last for days But the time that I spend and the ones who are with me They don't pretend to stay All that I see All that I see here is you And it's too late, it's too late to try Separation is so hard to find All that I see here is you So listen up now For the sake of my own life This one is for you |

It was getting late Am But she said let's stay And you can help me smile But the lights went up And the music stopped And all her mystery died She was looking for someone to carry her through She was looking for a way to keep it all new So she took my hand And we tipped the band And went along the way But the night was young And she needed fun Or so she liked to say She was looking for someone to carry her through She was looking for a way to keep it all new So lay your head on mine And stay with me tonight So we spent the night And the morning light Crept across the bed And we said goodbye Without meeting eyes And that was all we said She was looking for someone to carry her through She was looking for a way to keep it all new |

So far things have been alright
No complaints, oh this is the good life But sometimes I need more Just to get up and out the door I like to live in an altered state It makes me love all the things I hate And Im happy to be alive Dont want to come off too straight I like to put on my happy face While I cry on the inside Is it so hard to be happy That I struggle to feel just ok And I need a lift just to get through Just to get up to normal with you I like to live in an altered state It makes me love all the things I hate And Im happy to be alive Dont want to come off too straight laced I like to put on my happy face While I cry on the inside Yeah sometimes I need more Just to get up off the floor I like to live in an altered state It makes me love the things I hate And Im happy to be alive Dont want to come off too straight laced I like to put on my happy face While I cry on the inside |

These are letters I don't write Every evening I give up the fight And I see beauty in every day But the beauty of words won't come my way And I don't care what you think about love I've heard stories, honest and true Flowing rivers that lead into you And things get easy when you let them out But you pack in your pain 'til you're ready to shout And I don't care what you think I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love And it's a long way down You should have held my hand I liked you better when you lied You were more to the point And you looked me in the eye with love These are letters I don't write Every evening I give up the fight And I see beauty in every day But the beauty of words won't come my way And I don't care what you think I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love I don't care what you think I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love |

I been drinking so much I can't sing straight
Better hope that it's not too late To save the only thing that I've ever had It was here in my own two hands Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine, Maybe I'll learn to walk the line It's been a very short run I must object You're not really gonna take it away just yet I need ten more years to get to good I just did what I thought I could (get away with) Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine, Maybe I'll learn to walk the line I was an ugly kid with an ugly name Never had much of a wild side to tame But I grew up pretty and tall and fine I just wanted to have my time (have some fun) Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine, Maybe I'll learn to walk the line Give me one more chance to get things right I wanna put it back the way it was overnight But a change of ways seems a bit too much I don't really want to change my life a such Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine, Maybe I'll learn to walk the line Maybe it's fine, maybe it's good, Maybe it'd message understood Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine, Maybe I'll learn to walk the line |

Well, I guess you must have had a change of heart
You don't treat me like you did at the start Your campaign of love was quite a work of art Now I guess you must have had a change of heart Guess, I took too much for granted anyway But it's just 'cause I'd believe those things you'd say Not so long ago you swore we'd never part Now I guess you must have had a change of heart So goodbye to all those castles in the air And goodbye to all those plans we used to share They were fragments of a dream that fell apart Now they're gone because you had a change of heart They're all gone because you had a change of heart |

I bet you think it's over The misery is gone Turn your back and promise Days in the park The hours that we wasted Reading our lines Ribbons that I gave you Fall like pine needles to the ground Your heart is safe, it can't be found And the postcards that you send Excuses for the letters you can't write And don't you think I care When you don't come home at night It's always something special That brings you home You're better on occasions To let me know The pleasures of your new life Lead you away The path of least resistance There's always a safe way to let me see The things you try your best to feel And the postcards that you send Excuses for the letters that you can't write And don't you think I care When you don't come home at night I wonder if you see it As something you've done Turn your back and promise Days in the park |

Floats up to my room from the street And who would disturb my slumbering world With this late '70's beat I'm taking my aim from this window pane Then I'm turning the gun on myself The Upper West Side is supposed to be quiet, It's supposed to be wealthy and dull So how to explain this thundering pain that's Pushing it's way through my skull I'm taking a leave of my senses, Wee Hee! Then I'm turning the gun on myself New York is loud, it's wonderfully loud. I wouldn't live anywhere else But I need my rest to be at my best, Away from the high decibels I'm losing my will, I'm shooting to kill, Then I'm turning the gun on myself I'm losing my will and I'm shooting to kill, Then I'm turning the gun on myself |

Wake up, everybody's leaving.
Daylight has a way of creeping up, when you're in love, when you're in love. Sickness, everybody has it, mine just happens to be hidden. And you, what about you? What about you? Chorus: I won't even begin, telling you how sorry I am. Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone. Real life, we were never in it, Seemed like trouble to begin with. But I, never refused, I never refused. So don't stop, better keep it moving, Although, memories are soothing, I, can never go back, never go back. I won't even begin, telling you how sorry I am. Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone. I'm feeling like a child Like someone might find out I shouldn't be here at all But these things do come around And it may as well be my turn to take it all I won't even begin telling you how sorry I am Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone I won't even begin telling you how sorry I am Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone |

What's this, what's this, am I happy or something
Oh shit, oh shit, am I happy or something Is it you, Is it me, is it us, is it "we" Uh oh! But yeah, but, no, but ? how'd this happen? I'm all red and she's of a fashion Is it you is it me is it us is it "we" Uh oh! Take you out anywhere Tie you to the kitchen chair Either's good Funny that I seem to care Usually I'm running scared And I would, but it's all too good I smile away as she moves her stuff in My eyes all doe and I'm calling her muffin Is it you is it me is it us is it we Uh oh! Rise and shine, she's right there with me On my mind be it clean or filthy Is it you is it me is it us is it we Uh oh! Take you out anywhere Tie you to the kitchen chair Either's good Funny that I seem to care Usually I'm running scared And I would, but it's all too good And the voices in my head come now Saying this'll never work, get out And the voices in my head are loud Saying this'll never work get out I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT! Take you out anywhere Tie you to the kitchen chair Either's good Funny that I seem to care Usually I'm running scared And I would, but it's all too good |

The safe lie of the in between
I never lose but never win I wait at the edge of life I want to miss what might surprise It's hard to know where to go from here Hard to know where to go Time is a waste of me I'm up at noon for nothing real but I know That I'm wasting it It comes on once there's no repeat It's hard to know where to go from here Hard to know where to go Turn away, it's what I chose today Turn away, is not the same as I give in It's hard to know where to go from here Hard to know where to go It's hard to know where to go from here It's hard to know where to go |
