And I’ve collected all these thoughts And I’m dying just to lose them And if your words are true or not I’ll die trying to prove them
But I’ll just have to accept That my mind is so inept And the only thing that’s left For me to do is to trust you
Convince me - because I really need your help Well, convince me - because I can’t see this for myself
I’ll put the emphasis on the evidence Begging for the proof (woah-oh-oh) Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth This is so unnerving I know you’ve never lied to me before But the things you’re telling me I can’t yet believe you can ignore
But I’ll just have to accept That my mind is so inept And the only thing that’s left For me to do is to trust you
Put the emphasis on the evidence Begging for the proof (woah-oh-oh) Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
And since we’ve placed our lives into your hands Confide in what you’ll do (woah-oh-oh) Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth It’s a world full of cynics We say to stay alive in it You gotta stick with what you know (you know) But the soul is always aching (the soul is always aching) For the heart to start taking (for the heart to start taking) A chance by letting go (letting go) So let go Let go (Woah-oh-oh) Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
And since we’ve placed our lives into your hands Confide in what you’ll do (woah-oh-oh) And sometimes when you’re trying to sleep And all your doubts and your faith don’t agree It’s cause sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Yeah, I'm not angry and no, I'm not upset it's taken me awhile but this is what I've learned emotional attachment is really not a threat when I'm simply not concerned
The things that I take on I soon shrug off 'cause I know no one will ever be content with the way things are or with what they've got so I've given up and now I'm just indifferent
You all laugh at me like I'm not happy with anything, any time, anywhere and the half of me's all about apathy and the other half just doesn't care
I must admit; all the words you spoke, I hated cause I don't see just how I can be motivated I'm left to break a sweat over a dying race it seems our fate is something we've already embraced
Yeah, I'm not angry, and no, I'm not upset it's taken me awhile but this is what I've learned emotional attachment is really not a threat when I'm simply not concerned
You all laugh at me like I'm not happy with anything, any time, anywhere and the half of me's all about apathy and the other half just doesn't care
Yeah, bein' apathetic's a pathetic way to be (I don't care) What matters to you does not matter to me ('cause I don't care)
So take a wild guess it's like I just couldn't care less if all the things you find impressive just blew up and made those messes that you'll frantically repair Like it's a life or death affair and all the while you're unaware for this, you really shouldn't care but it's so hard to see the reality that the end will be the end of things and our hearts are all we get to bring so let's go ahead and make them worth something
You all laugh at me like I'm not happy with anything, any time, anywhere and the half of me's all about apathy and the other half just doesn't care
You all laugh at me like I'm not happy with anything, any time, anywhere and the half of me's all about apathy and the other half just doesn't care
I'm well aware that everything is a far cry from all right I'm well aware that all of us can at times, be too uptight and possibly, the remedy is a dose of apathy You point your finger at you I'll point mine right back at me
I’ve given up, on giving up slowly, I’m blending in so you won’t even know me Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention Is my one last shot at redemption cause I know to live you must give your life away And I’ve been housing all this doubt And insecurity And I’ve been locked inside that house all while you hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out And that might be the death of me And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I-I gotta get outta here I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake I-I gotta get outta here And I’m begging you, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to be my escape
I’m giving up I’m doing this alone now Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there And this life sentence that I’m serving I admit that I’m every bit deserving But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt And insecurity And I’ve been locked inside that house All while you hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out And that might be the death of me And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I-I gotta get outta here Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake *yeah* I-I gotta get outta here And I’m begging you, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to be my escape
I am a hostage to my own humanity Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made And all I’m asking is for you to do what you can with me But I can’t ask you to give what you already gave
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt And insecurity And I’ve been locked inside that house All while you hold the key And I’ve been dying to get out That might be the death of me And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I-I’ve gotta get outta here I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I-I’ve gotta get outta here And I’m begging you, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to be my escape
I fought you for so long I should let you in oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin *ohhhh* but so were you so were you
I think you know what I'm getting at I find it so upsetting that The memories that you select You keep the bad but the good you just forget And even though I'm angry I can still say I know my heart will break the day When you peel out and drive away I can't believe this happened And all this time I never thought That all we had would be all for not No, I don't hate you Don't want to fight you Know I'll always love you But right now I just don't like you Know I don't hate you Don't want to fight you Know I'll always love you But right now I just don't like you Cause you took this too far, too far
Make your decision and don't you dare think twice Go with your instincts along with some bad advice This didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all You blame me but some of this is still your fault I tried to move you But you just wouldn't budge I tried to hold your hand But you'd rather hold your grudge I think you know what I'm getting at You said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that No, I don't hate you Don't want to fight you Know I'll always love you But right now I just don't like you Know I don't hate you Don't want to fight you Know I'll always love you But right now I just don't like you
And wisdom always chooses The black eyes and these bruises Over the heartache that they say Never completely goes away No, I don't hate you Don't want to fight you Know I'll always love you But right now I just don't like you Cause you took this too far ..
i was thinking over thinking cause there's just too many scenarios to analayze look in my eyes cause you're my dream please come true
i was thinking over thinking about exactly how i'm not exactly him i'll break my heart in two more times than you could ever do cause you're my dream please come true
cause i think way too much on a one track mind and you're so out of touch cause i'm so far behind
i can't deny this anymore, the facts ignored all done before and if there's one in this world, you let me know you're not that girl
i was sinking lower, sinking cause i lost the things i held on to they let me think a thought a thought that i would know was not of seeing my dream come true
i was thinking over thinking about how far i had let this go one more guy/girl chich? i know now you're just in the way of me and my dream come true
cause i think way too much on a one track mind and you're so out of touch cause i'm so far behind i'm trying to make sense out of all of this while your fading scent just slips through my grip
i can't deny this anymore, the facts ignored all done before and if there's one in this world, you let me know you're not that girl
don't touch the positive with the negative end don't touch the positive with the negative end cause after all of the sparks you're still alone in the dark cause after all of the sparks you're left alone in the dark
and while i'm able, i think i'll label experience with you as a mistake and while i'm at it, i'll say i've had it experience with you is a mistake
cause i think way too much on a one track mind and you're so out of touch cause i'm so far behind i'm trying to make sense out of all of this while your fading scent just slips through my grip
i was thinking over thinking cause there's just too many scenarios to think about to figure out if you're my dream please come true
It’s always nice to look out the window And see those very first few flakes of snow Later on we can go outside And create the impression of an angel That just fell from the sky
When February rolls around, I’ll roll my eyes Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies And by the fire, my heart it heaves a sigh For the green grass waiting on the other side
It’s always Winter, but never Christmas It seems this curse just can’t be lifted Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope
It’d be so nice to look out the window And see the leaves on the trees begin to show The birds would congregate and sing A song of birth, a song of newer things
The wind would calm and the sun would shine I’d go outside and I’d squint my eyes But for now I will simply just withdraw Sit here and wish for this world to thaw
It’s always winter, but never Christmas It seems this curse just can’t be lifted Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope
And everything it changed overnight This dying world, you brought it back to life And deep inside I felt things Shifting, everything was melting away Oh, away And you gave us the most beautiful of days
Cause when it’s always Winter, but never Christmas Sometimes it feels like you’re not with us But deep inside our hearts we know That you are here and we will not lose hope
I guess it’s safe to say you’re never coming back (Oh oh oh oh) And I understand why you wouldn’t want to (Oh oh oh oh) I guess it’s up to me to find a way to get to you
And I can’t see you I’m getting used to living in the midst of your perfection And I’m so lost How can you trust somewhere the sun is always shining?
And there’s just one last thing that I have to say As we reflect on the mess of all of this I’ve made It was cowardice that made me push you away I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me
I guess it’s safe to say you’re never coming back (Oh oh oh oh) And I understand why you wouldn’t want to (Oh oh oh oh) I guess it’s up to me to find a way to get to you
I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. Out of mind, out of state. Trying to keep my head on straight. I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. There's only one thing left to do. Drop all I have and go with you.
[Chorus:] Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind. My problems fell out of the back of my mind. We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going. To go back to where I was would just be wrong. I'm pressing on. Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on) And I won't sit back, and take this anymore. 'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door. And to go back where I was would just be wrong I'm pressing on.
I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. Out of mind, out of state. Trying to keep my head on straight. I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. Adversity, we get around it. Searched for joy, in you I found it.
You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all. You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me. I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.
All the girls in the bathroom talking who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins My ears are burning but I kept on walking smile on my face and an air guitar rocking
The Sadie Hawkins Dance in my khaki pants There's nothing better oh oh oh The girls ask the guys it's always a surprise There's nothing better baby do you like my sweater?
Sitting in the back of my next class napping Got up, gave a speech, then bowed to the clapping Told a funny joke got the whole class laughing think I got a tan from the light which I was basking
[x2:] The Sadie Hawkins Dance in my khaki pants There's nothing better oh oh oh The girls ask the guys it's always a surprise There's nothing better baby do you like my sweater?
Scan the cafeteria for some good seating I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating I said that's one thing I won't be needing And since I'm rather smart and cunning I took off down the next hall running Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
She said, "You're smooth, and good with talking. You're going with me to the Sadie Hawkins"
The Sadie Hawkins Dance in my khaki pants There's nothing better oh oh oh The girls ask the guys it's always a surprise There's nothing better baby do you like my sweater?

Christians-- we're all afraid of fire. We prefer to suck on pacifiers. Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits. We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.
We're cannibals. We watch our brothers fall. We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane to wake to see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames. We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk, but nothing's solved. We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk," and, "Shame, shame, shame."
Finally fell asleep on the plane to wake to see we're going down in flames.
Let's go!
Christians-- we mourn, the thorn is stuck in the side of the body watch it self-destruct. The enemy is much ignored when we fight this Christian civil war.
We're cannibals. We watch our brothers fall. We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane to wake to see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames. We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk, but nothing's solved. We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk," and, "Shame, shame, shame."
Finally fell asleep on the plane to wake to see we're going down in flames.
Na na na na, na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na. Bana na na na, na na na
Let me pause to clarify ('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?"). I stand before you and proudly claim to belong to what this song complains.
I'm part of the problem, I confess, But I gotta get this off my chest.
Let's extinguish the anguish for which we're to blame, and save the world from going down in flames.

oh, what a lousy excuse for a car one mile to go, but I can’t push it that far i think i’ve had enough i think i’m giving up
saved all my money to buy a new guitar then I got ripped off by the guy who fixed my car i think i’ve had enough i think i’m giving up
once again life’s thrown me a curve, and it blew up right in my face once again life’s rattled my nerves don’t you see that i’m stuck in this place?
all because, you’re giving me a ...breakdown stuck on the side of the road emotional over-load he’ll seek and destroy everything that I enjoy but, I won’t be the one he takes down no, I won’t breakdown
Am I at the point of no improvement? What of the death I still dwell in? I try to excel, but I feel no movement. Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
[Chorus:] Never underestimate my Jesus. You're telling me that there's no hope. I'm telling you you're wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus When the world around you crumbles He will be strong, He will be strong
I throw up my hands "Oh, the impossibilities" Frustrated and tired Where do I go from here? Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear
[Chorus]
I think I can't, I think I can't But I think you can, I think you can I think I can't, I think I can't But I think you can, I think you can Gather my insufficiencies and place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands
