I never knew I never knew that everything was falling through That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue To turn and run when all I needed was the truth But that's how it's got to be It's coming down to nothing more than apathy I'd rather run the other way than stay and see The smoke and who's still standing when it clears
Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind
Let's rearrange I wish you were a stranger I could disengage Say that we agree and then never change Soften a bit until we all just get along But that's disregard Find another friend and you discard As you lose the argument in a cable car Hanging above as the canyon comes between
Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind
And suddenly I become a part of your past I'm becoming the part that don't last I'm losing you and its effortless Without a sound we lose sight of the ground In the throw around Never thought that you wanted to bring it down I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in Over my head Over my head With eight seconds left in overtime She's on your mind She's on your mind

Halfway around the world Lies the one thing that you want Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down First thing that arises in your mind while you awake Is bending you til you break Let me hold you now
Baby close your eyes Don't open til the morning light Baby don't forget You haven't lost it all yet
Don't know what your made of Til the one thing that you want To come in with the dawn and suddenly changes Monday, syndicate meets everyone the same But all we've lost to the flame Listen to me now
Baby close your eyes Don't open til the morning light Don't ever forget We haven't lost it all yet All we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for Baby don't forget We haven't lost it all yet
Someday when this is over We may still have no answer For now it's when I hold ya We are closer, we are closer We are closer, we are closer
Baby close your eyes Don't open til the morning light Don't ever forget We haven't lost it all yet And all we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for Baby don't forget We haven't lost it all yet
We are closer We are closer (We haven't lost it all yet) Now we are closer (We haven't lost it all yet) We are closer
I've seen this one before, the girl she gets away Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is
Is this all we get to be absolute
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
It's a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture On his wall and it's a sailor in a new port every night Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent
Is this all we get to be absolute
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
All we are and all we want 40 years come and gone All we are in photographs Will never be taken
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want you here Quiet but I'm sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
I found God On the corner of First and Amistad Where the west Was all but won All along Smoking his last cigarette I said Where you been He said Ask anything Where were you When everything was falling apart All my days Were spent by the telephone It never rang And all I needed was a call It never came To the corner of First and Amistad Lost and insecure You found me you found me Lyin' on the floor Surrounded surrounded Why'd you have to wait Where were you Where were you Just a little late You found me you found me In the end Everyone ends up alone Losing her The only one who's ever known Who I am Who I'm not who I wanna be No way to know How long she will be next to me Lost and insecure You found me you found me Lyin' on the floor Surrounded surrounded Why'd you have to wait Where were you Where were you Just a little late You found me you found me
Early morning The city breaks I've been callin' For years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages Ya never send me no letters You got some kinda nerve Taking all i world Lost and insecure You found me you found me Lyin' on the floor Where were you Where were you Lost and insecure You found me you found me Lyin' on the floor Surrounded surrounded Why'd you have to wait Where were you Where were you Just a little late You found me you found me Why'd you have to wait To find me to find me
I see you there, don't know where you come from Unaware but you're still from someone Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you What's your name? Cause I have to know it You let me in and begin to show it I'm terrified cause we're heading straight for it, might Get it
Hear the song playin on background All alone but you're turnin up now And everyone is risin to meet ya, to greet you Turn around and you're walkin toward me I'm breakin down and you're breathin slowly Say the word and I will be your man, your man, say when
(*Chorus*) And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight Say when And my own two arms will carry you tonight, tonight
Come close and then even closer We bring it in but we go no further We're seperate two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer Later on if it turns to chaos, hurricane comin all around us See the crack, pull it back from the window, you stay low, say when
(*Chorus*) And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight Say when And my own two arms will carry you tonight, tonight
Come across you're lost and broken You're coming to, but you're slow and waking You start to shake, you still haven't spoken, what happened They're comin back and you just don't know it And you wanna cry but there's nothin comin They're gonna push until you give in, say when Now we're here and it turns to chaos, hurricane comin all around us They're gonna crack, don't you back from the window, you stay low It all began with the man and country Every plan turns another century around again And another nation fallen
Maybe God can be on both sides of the gun Never understood why some of us never get it so good, so good Some of this was here before us, All of this will go after us Never stops until we give in, give in, say when
(*Chorus*) And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight Say when And my own two arms will carry you tonight, tonight Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight...
Trying not to lose my head But I have never been this scared before Tell you what I'll do instead Lay my body down on the floor To forget what I've done Silhouette 'til the good lord come
All we know is distance We're close and then we run Kiss away the difference I know you hate this one
Trying not to lose your own Boxing up everything, you've got All you ever knew of home You're scared, scared to see Your mother there in the door You wonder where did the years go
All we know is distance We're close and then we run Kiss away the difference I know you hate this one
But this is how the story ends Or have we just begun To kiss away the difference I know you hate this one The violins make no sound And I begin to feel the ground
All we know is distance We're close and then we run Kiss away the difference I know you hate this one
But this is where the story ends Or have we just begun To kiss away the difference I know you hate this one
The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume He's not longer with us but he left this dusty room In your name and it's an honor, it's a shame but it's your honor Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another
That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken He should've held you, things your father never could do
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken He would've held you, things your father never told you
The century before you never could turn twenty one Years and years he waited, just watching for a son For someone to go ahead, take the name he said Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead
But that's enough for now, he should've never left you broken He should've held you, things your father never could do
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken He would've held you, things your father never told you
Breathing comes in pairs, except for twice One begins and one's goodbye
Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
But that's enough for now, he never wanted to leave you broken He would've held you, things your father never told you
That's enough for now, I would've never left you broken I would've held you, things your father never could do Words your father never told you
Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
