now I've found a little time to take a look back from the caboose and follow the tracks of my life they're tangled about lying true and I know it's just me and my point of view but those are the important two I don't need to check with the crowd
wouldn't it be nice to be proud
a door was open and into the night I jumped through and turned on the light I started to see thought it wasn't that bright I saw a island sky but it wasn't all blue my answers weren't right but I didn't wanna lose so I'd put up a fight and scream out loud
wouldn't it be nice to be proud
and when it all is clear your time to repair disappears taking with it chances left untried
I see my friend huddled together tryin to stay warm in nasty weather we'd beat the odds whenever they'd call and all the jokes I played on my friends never did get me in the end I guess I was given more than allowed
Sorry to call you in the middle of the night but my thoughts have kept me thinking about some things in my life I got your number from a friend who told me that it'd be all right to call you if I ever need Someone to show me things in a different light and let me choose what's wrong and what's right
Please pick up the phone I need to talk, I know you're at home If you're screening your calls I know you're busy and I won't keep you long
If you know everything that happens to me Why do I have to ask you for things that I need what about people who don't even call 'cause they don't have the number, do you help them at all? will you show me things in a different light and let me choose what's wrong and what's right
Well, I've moved away and I'm out on my own Do you ever get lonely living alone? Can we just talk about it won't you pick up the phone
Every night I sit and stare at the wall in front of my face imagining you're there talking back to me so that everyone can see that I'm not so crazy after all
Once again I just can't get it straight Wondering if wandering is my fate But don't lose hope in me quite yet 'cause help must be on the way, any day
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart It's not you, it's not your fault You've got everything I could ever want And you've always understood my intentions are good and we've been so close from the start but the furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart
I feel the distance standing here next to you I don't want to keep you waiting, but I've been waiting too Some day if I get there and you still want me too we can see it through
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart It's not you, it's not your fault You've got everything I could ever want And you've always understood my intentions are good and we've been so close from the start but the furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart My head to my heart
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart it's not you, you've got everything I could ever want
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart It's not you, it's not your fault You've got everything I could ever want And you've always understood my intentions are good and we've been so close from the start but the furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart
You ought to know by now that I don't wait around Drag my heels hold my breath and hang out underground You think I think too much, I think we'll wait and see From here to there I'll take a piece of all that's in between
Never say never and don't wait forever It's an open mind that sees that now is the time To take a chance, take a shot, take control of the situation I can't stand around here telling you About the things I've done and what I got to do So are you on the bus or not, Cause we're leaving the station
Don't leave yourself behind and don't get in the way Tomorrow's coming fast to take away today You say I want too much, but I want you to see That if you want to come with me, you're going to have to leave
I run these stories through my head of her coming home and us just staring at each other and we'll both know yeah we'll both know and I won't care that she took me through a maze And left me there for days Until she made her mind to go away
You'd think I'd know by now You'd think I'd wash this down Did you think I'd hurt her now Just to heal my heart Then you don't know me You don't know me And she don't owe me anything
I'd love to think that she Was out to hurt me And given the facts Still maybe we We could you know, we could try again But she didn't mean the harm she put me through And I could never go to her and trust That she would ever care
If time is all it takes than I've got plenty of that Plenty of that, and I'm a better man For all the time it takes
I don't know what's happening to me I can't remember things I used to believe I caught myself just the other day stealing color from words and leaving them gray
Yeah, I've fallen down a time or two but no one was looking so I'm not telling you
I've got to make it better, make it all right got to find me a ladder to reach the light got to move to the exit, single file line before the fire spreads to my head and burns my mind
It's been real but it's time to go home time to change back to the clothes that I own I could use some heavier shoes to ground me in feelings I don't want to lose
And all this time, I never knew that it ever meant anything to you
Nobody could hurt me like I know she could hurt me but there's nothing in this world that I want more Nobody could take me to the places that she takes me Places that I've never been before With my eyes wide open knowing full well
I could fall from heaven I could fall from heaven I could fall I could brake that's the chance that I take I could fall
Look at me I'm flying, just a breath away from dying Holding on to her and letting go As I walk across this wire above a lake of fire And lean into the wind that starts to blow With my eyes wide open knowing full well
Do I hide my heart? Do I lock my door? Do I tear it out so it don't feel no more? No, I risk it all knowing that I could fall from heaven I could fall from heaven I could fall I could fall I could fall I could fall Fall, fall
She rolls the window down And she talks over the sound Of the cars that pass us by And I don't know why But she's changed my mind Would you look at her she looks at me She's got me thinking about her constantly But she don't know how I feel And as she carries on without a doubt I wonder if she's figured out I'm crazy for this girl Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl She was the one to hold me The night, the sky fell down And what was I thinking when The world didn't end Why didn't I know what I know now Would you look at her She looks at me She's got me thinking about her constantly But she don't know how I feel And as she carries on without a doubt I wonder if she's figured out I'm crazy for this girl Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl Right now Face to face All my fears Pushed aside And right now I'm ready to spend the rest of my life With you Would you look at her She looks at me She's got me thinking about her constantly But she don't know how I feel And as she carries on without a doubt I wonder if she's figured out I'm crazy for this girl
Would you look at her She looks at me She's got me thinking about her constantly But she don't know how I feel carries on without a doubt I wonder if she's figured out I'm crazy for this girl
Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember? How you were gonna stay free But they had plans for you And things to do The same thing goes for me Well well I never Saw it coming to me But when I turned around To look at you It was all that I could do
To see the distance Everybody wants to run And I'm no different Feeling like the only one
In the beginning Everything was so close And it seemed that everywhere you go Everybody knows
You don't remember What you wanted to be Well they went round the class And you were last The clock was fast So no one asked
To see the distance Everybody wants to run And I'm no different Feeling like the only one
Well how long can you run? How far and what for? How far will you run To get whatever you're after Year after year after year
Well I've been looking But I still can't see How we get from a to b to c And feel like we should be
Well I've been running But I've been running around Now there's nothing left for me to do But sit around and see the view
And see the distance Everybody wants to run And I'm no different Feeling like the only one
Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember?
It sure looked good on paper Until we read between the lines It always hurts when you find You're running out of "laters" and "maybe next times" When you can almost read her mind
She likes the romance The slow dance The staying out all night She likes the Christmas lights all year round Why put 'em up, take 'em down? She watches baseball Hates the mall Hangs out with the guys That's what I know about what she likes
She's all about the rainbow But not the one on Sunset Boulevard I got it wrong, she took it hard And it really hurts to let go When you're so close To making it so far
She likes the romance The slow dance The staying out all night She likes the Christmas lights all year round Why put 'em up, take 'em down? She watches baseball Hates the mall Hangs out with the guys That's what I know about what she likes
I should've known that I Never could've known that I Could ever know enough about her To keep her mine
....................
She likes the romance The slow dance That keeps me up all night She likes the Christmas lights up all year round And I just took 'em down She watches baseball Hates the mall
And now I realized... what the hell do I know about what she likes
She likes the romance The slow dance The staying out all night She likes the Christmas lights all year round Why put 'em up, take 'em down? She watches baseball Hates the mall Hangs out with the guys
I plan to take every moment that you are And hang them on the wall I can't explain what you did to me But I can frame it all
And when I say goodnight I'll find you there Starring at me with those eyes And walking me to the bedroom
And ohhh, I wish I could see you back I hope you're fine wherever you are And know that I think about you all the time
I, I smile through the blue for you Even though it's hard to stay awake some days And baby I smile sometimes through the blue for you Even though I know you're a million miles away
I had to leave work again early today Everyone thinks I'm lazy I had to be home when you go there I must be going crazy
And when I say goodnight I'll find you there Starring at me with those eyes And walking me to the bedroom
And ohhh, I wish I could see you back I hope you're fine wherever you are That you're with me all the time
I, I smile through the blue for you Even though it's hard to stay awake some days And baby I smile sometimes through the blue for you Even though I know you're a million miles away
Sometimes I wake up to the sweet sounds of the earth I wonder, is that you Sometimes in the morning when I order my coffee I order one for you
(guitar solo)
Babdy I, I smile through the blue for you Even though it's hard to stay awake some days Baby I smile through the blue for you Even though I know you're a million miles away And I'll never understand why you went away...
I wonder how the morning came last night I went insane I threw some things, I smashed some things What happens next, I haven't figured out yet
I'm not quite sure what drove me to the madness bringing on my dark side Was it me? Was it you and your obnoxious friends who made me feel defenseless
Couldn't care less about The things you'll think when I walk out Couldn't care less about What happens now I couldn't care less about the psycho-babble from your mouth (the things you'll think when I walk out) Don't think I care enough to care
Tripped on your diploma Who knows what could (be this Spring) Bringing, just bringing to the moon Somewhere on a country road, probably killing me Under broken things, you found your wings, goodbye
I couldn't care less about The things you'll think when I walk out (the things you'll think when I walk out) Couldn't care less about what happens now I couldn't care less about the psycho-babble from your mouth (the things you'll think when I walk out) I don't think I care enough to care
Right now, you've reached the mountain Deny yourself the fountains at... Exit 41 Gold-blue cavern that hides the sun so well
I Couldn't care less about the things that you're thinking, you're thinking when I walk out I couldn't care less about what happens now I couldn't care less about (the things that you're thinking, you're thinking when I walk out) The things you'll think when I walk out Couldn't care less about what happens now I couldn't care less about (same "thinking" part as above) the psycho-babble from your mouth Don't think I care enough to care, to care Oh, I couldn't care less about (same "thinking" part again) The things you'll think when I walk out Couldn't care less about What happens now, what happens now, what happens now
if nature sold herself on layaway in a little town I would be the first in line and buy myself a sound a waterfall a tidal wave or a breathing of the trees a heavy wind a thunder or a falling of the leaves and I would proclaim I'm the new proprietor of a sound in a press conference held downtown when the people would look at me in distain I would simply tell them this at least you'll have someone to blame for ruining your weekend I would play mother nature unlease my sound at will no more sitting and waiting on this cracked window sill if I feel like love I will shake the trees if I'm consumed in lonliness then I will drop the leaves and I would proclaim I'm the new proprietor of a sound in a press conference held downtown when the people would look at me in distain I would simply say outright at least you have someone to blame for scaring the children in the night what if I call for a waterfall some light rain and some other owner calls for a massive hurricaine we'd have to be responsible users and respect the rules of God I'll just take a load off and have to buy them all and I would proclaim I'm the new proprietor of a sound in a press conference held downtown when the people would look at me in distain I would simply say at least you have someone to blame for a near perfect day
softly I hear you call and surely you're after it all you tell me you know just who I am that's a felony cause no one can I can only look back when I stand all on my own I know a friend and I'll tell you when I see one I'm reaching back again can I make it if I run where were you when I was naked in the cold where were you when my thoughts were growing old where were you the train has left the station with no chartered destination if you don't have a ticket in your hand it's too late to ride cause I've already closed the ticket stand where were you when I was naked in the cold where were you when my thoughts were growing old where were you softly I hear you call and surely you're after it all you tell me you know just who I am that's a felony cause no one can and theres something that I really want to know its building up inside where did you go where were you when I was naked in the cold where were you when my thoughts were growing old where were you
Once again I just can't get it straight Wondering if wandering is my fate But don't lose hope in me quite yet 'cause help must be on the way, any day
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart It's not you, it's not your fault You've got everything I could ever want And you've always understood my intentions are good and we've been so close from the start but the furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart
I feel the distance standing here next to you I don't want to keep you waiting, but I've been waiting too Some day if I get there and you still want me too we can see it through
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart It's not you, it's not your fault You've got everything I could ever want And you've always understood my intentions are good and we've been so close from the start but the furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart My head to my heart
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart it's not you, you've got everything I could ever want
From my head to my heart can't seem to find a way they're so far apart It's not you, it's not your fault You've got everything I could ever want And you've always understood my intentions are good and we've been so close from the start but the furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart Furthest distance I've ever known is From my head to my heart
The sky has lost its color Ths sun has turned to grey At least that's how it feels to me Whenever you're away I crawl up in the corner To watch the minutes pass Each one brings me closer to The time you're coming back
*I can't take the distance I can't take the miles I can't take the time til I next see you smile I can't take the distance and I'm not ashamed that with every breath I take I'm calling your name
But I can't take the distance
I still believe my feelings But sometimes it feels too much I make believe you're close to me It ain't close enough Not nearly close enough
*repeat
I'd breathe fire and I'd breathe free To be by your side I'd do anything I can't take the distance
I will go the distance I will go the miles That's how much you mean to me
*repeat
But I can't take the distance
(It's harder to remeber as long as you're away then I find solace)
