Well if I were you I'd be wiser
To the sounds that make you up
And if only time was longer
I'd be gone
And if what you say is the answer
And for all you know it's true
Maybe I sleep too long
Or sometimes speak too soon

And remember the sun don't shine
And remember the sky's not blue
And if only I was you
I'd be right along here hiding behind the moon

Well I should have known you'd be leaving
Just as soon as you got here
And in time I'll fall around you
And disappear
And the thought of a day left to wander
In a time with eyes on me
Maybe I say too much
But with that we'll disagree

I know you don't care about anymore
Seeing tonight taking me down below you
Just say it all because you already know
How it could be with me along and wandering

Keep it in mind that I'll never change
I'm stuck with myself and the world around me
Staring with eyes that melt me away
I'm caught in a day not so clear

Every hour it's easier
It's the same thing every time
And the last thing you will hear
Is the first thing on your mind
Though in telling our lives on and on again
And you try to see the times when it's open
And worry not of regret

Please remember the scenery
It was clear and calm for me
The place just hung with open eyes
And we all knew my machine
Still I'm breathing standing
Trying hard to reply knowing why
The one who sleeps while in motion
Is easily placed as you'll find

How was I to know you'd be their call
Waiting on your own
And everything would change if you were gone
I'm learning after all for you and I alone

But the moments always
Keep me here with you
And I feel worse alone and you do too
The light is moving catching
On to where you've been
And I've decided to stay here
And do it all again

You are the reason why you're here
You are the cause for all this fear
I'll let you know when I'm tired of this time
I'll let you know when I'm tired

You are the reason why you're dead
You are the cause for all this yes
I'll let you know when I've had too much of this time
I'll let you know when I've had too much

I'm trapped in a tube
I'm tied next to you
Air's runnning out
We're going too soon
I'm trapped in a tube
Tied next to you
Can anyone see
Oh yes we're going down
Oh yes we're going down
Oh yes we're going down
Down, going down

I am the reason why're you're here
I am the cause for this fear
I'll let you know when I'm tired this time
I'll let you know when I'm tired

Look at your face.
Staring across like a diamond knife.
I'll lock the door because I fear their not too far behind.
The sky has gone quietly dark.
How this will end is the same as the start.
Placing a hand on the side of my face you will bring me in.
I know you well let those lies begin.
Do they hear you when you call them?
I have no way to decide.
I've made some mistakes now there's nowhere that's safe how they follow me.
And all that you want you can have but you can't ever leave.
Tell me how this will be wrong, and what you'll do.
The room was still 304.
A man came across who I'd seen once before.
He pulled me aside and then asked me to say if i'd brought a friend.
I said I'm down to just one friend.
Still there are years I've forgotten.
Everything lost you will find.
The evening has come once again as it had many times before.
And I know what you want to do so I think you should go.
Tell me how this will be wrong.
It's al you've known.

Oh, what I could say to you again.
I've never really understood what you need from me.
So you can see all of this and know I was here.
I never meant a single word that I said.
Sometimes I just look around for something else.
Somehow, I just lost a year,
But we all make promises.
I'm not the same as how you might remember.
Now I see how this is turning out.
And I'm sure because everyone
Tells me what I want, and what I'm not,
To make it stop.
Oh,
When morning comes who will be the simple one?
I can see how all your plans are turning out.
Somehow, I just lost a year
But we all make our promises
I'm not the same as how you might remember.
Now I see how this is turning out.
And I'm sure because everyone
Still tells me what I've got,
To make it stop.

Night comes and I need someone to take me home

I'm a year's supply of words for no one else

But I'm tired now of offering

Words that you would never understand

Like a dark day, and a cold hand

How it's turned on me again somehow

And my friends that really were aren't really now

And I'm hearing things so quietly

You hold just what you have right over me

Like your whole life, and how it comes right back to mine, oh

Haven't I done this all before?

Maybe I have, I'm not sure

But never again will I be left under the open air

I waited around for you to be there

I won't believe that it's so far away

And I don't sleep now at night but through the day

And you'll ask me why so honestly

But I don't think it's something that I can see

Like an old friend, turning now then once again, oh

Haven't I done this all before?

Maybe I have I'm not sure

But only today will you still keep inside what I have said

It's something new for you to forget

So I'm not making any plans

And where would I begin?

But I'm doing so much better than

So I think you should know

There's not a window that I can't see out

And your stories left too soon to read about

But it was all done so easily

I'm still not sure where I'm supposed to be

Like your whole life, and how it comes right back to mine

Haven't I done this all before?

I know I have I'm quite sure

But never again will I be left under the open air

I waited around for you to be there

Someone that you should have known

Everything was there to be your own

Suddenly you raise your eyes and see the day that slowly starts to rise.
It never was before, but now it is, so it has caught you by surprise.
But, oh, it's been very, oh, it's been so hard sometimes;
You know it's right.

The time has moved us back beyond the door that I was trying to get in,
But everything has come so clear that I don't even know where to begin.
But oh it's been very, oh, it's been so hard to find;
You know it's right.

You've gone so many times before, what rules do you follow?
If something would happen to you, I don't know what I would do.
I can see the tide is quickly coming in, but I can barely see out.
Oh, it's moving now.

But I hope, someday we'll see you arrive,
And if you could still see the moon...
They'll send you and leave you out;
Someday soon they'll offer it to you.
And now it goes on and on.

And now it's close to dark; reflections of you seem to slide across the waves.
I never will forget, and how would I, cause I was standing there for days.
But oh it's been very, oh, it's been so hard sometimes;
You know it's right.

The weight of this is nothing to complain about.
And what would you add up?

But I hope, someday we'll see you arrive,
And if you could still see the moon...
They'll send you and leave you out;
Someday soon they'll offer it to you.
And now it goes on and on.

Something came to life and told me what I had to feel,
So I took their advice; now I'm turning on the wheel.
I'll be alright, so don't count me out.
The timing has to be right, so we don't leave any doubts.

Suddenly the sun (suddenly the sun) is right where you belong,
Suddenly the sun (suddenly the sun) is moving you along.

All becomes the weather seems to make a certain way that you will find.
It's only put together for a day and somehow enters in your mind.
Oh it's been very, oh, it's been so long;
I hope someday we'll see you arrive.

And if you could still see the moon...
They'll send you and leave you out;
Someday soon they'll offer it to you.
And now it goes on and on.

Here's the line
Where I start
Somehow I will begin now.
I'm so behind, between eyes
This is not where it will end
Oh, once again.
There's a town where I go
Walking around in the morning
I will learn these streets how they turn
Though memories somehow deceive me
Careful now the bridge is out
The lines make their way through the ceiling
I'll return.

If I could find any words at all
How I'd say them right
I wouldn't mind
If you took them for light
Cause all we have is night
All we have is night



I will take what I know
When I come around in the evening
All of our lies have most of my time
But I know that you still believe me
Careful now so full of doubt
Someday they'll give you a reason
How we'll learn, I will learn

If I could find anyway at all
Someday I know I might
I wouldn't mind
If you took them for light
Cause all we have is night
All we have is night

Out of this grey how things still burn so brightly
There is no time but we know too soon.
