Getting Over You
03:27
|
|
||
If tomorrow doesn't change
Then please don't wake me up today
I'll need a shot to do it
Will friends all think I blew it?
But I don't care much what they say
How in the world did you find me here?
Since you were gone, I'm not the same
She says, "aren't I what you've been looking for?"
I can't be much help when I've already dealt with the pain
I can't have just one or two
It hurts no matter what I do
It wasn't what I planned on
But you can't always depend on me
To do just what I say I'll do
I'm getting over you
I've got to be careful what I do
And I'll pay for it in tears
For years and years and years

Don't Ask Me Why
03:19

Painting perfect pictures
On the canvas in her head
A sea of expectations
Get ready, get set
Let's go to where you are
I wonder where we are
Outside our doors there's thunder
And in here we think it's safe
So many nights I wonder
If the lightning strikes I'll be alright
At least I'll rest in peace tonight
I wonder where you are
This time you've gone too far
Don't you ask me why when I've said that I do
And you don't have to cry a million times
Words can hurt, but they carry their weight in gold
The weight of hearts of people today on my shoulders
If I could turn back and show you the way I used to hold her
Then maybe I could see the way my life used to be
She is thinking of her, and all I'm thinking about is me

No Answer
03:06
|
|

So I've made my last decision
I'm gonna change my life again
I'm watching primetime television
The image tells me who I am
But there's no answer
And there's no hidden truth
You say your prayers have gone unanswered
And nothing kills the pain inside
But still you search the world for the answer
And every hope that was has died
'Cause there's no answer
And there's no hidden truth
And I can't run any faster
I can't live my life like you
Someday
Is never coming
One day

For Once
03:10
|
|
||
Sent from the sky
I wonder why, why you
We're partners in crime
I'm paralyzed to tell you
For once, I feel no pain
For once, I miss you
You walked out and cried
I can't see why it kills you
And there's stars in the sky
I've changed my mind to please you
Am I kind enough?
Am I kind enough to you?
Aren't I good enough for you?
For once, I feel no shame
For once

Man of the Year
02:24
|
|
||
I can't wait till you see
What'll become of me
Perfect living for free
I can't wait till you see
Why didn't you tell me?
And why wouldn't I care?
I know the world can't stop
While I'm out winning man of the year
I'm winning man of the year
I thought I gave it enough
Long stem roses and such
But times have changed just as much
I thought I gave it enough
Love is never enough
It's not enough

On Strike
03:25
|
|

I dare it not to cross your lips
You scheme and plot with painted fingertips
I'm running through these tired streets
This could be our last kiss
Goodbye
Amber with painted glass receptacles
You're trying not to make a spectacle
I wish you couldn't make a mess of this
What you say, be careful

Talk Me Down
02:52
|
|
||
On top it's windy
I stare at the ground
I'm reaching over
But no one's around
Tell me that it's worth living
Talk me down
I know it's worth fighting
Sound of silence
Ringing in my head
Call me crazy
That's all I get
Tell me that it's worth living
Talk me down
I know it's worth fighting for
It's been five long years
I can't fight the tears
Blame it on just staring at the wall
If I had it all today
Probably drink it all away
Now I'm up here and I think I'm gonna fall
Don't tell me that it's worth living
I'm falling down
It's not worth fighting for

Dared To Wake Up
03:18
|
|
||
Five bucks in gasoline
I'm driving through a winter scene
I'll wait for half an hour
Before my bones go
When it comes, I hope you'll be there
When it comes, I know you'll be there
I can't erase the past
Or just forget about what lasts
Because when things are changing
My life's worth saving
When it comes, I hope you'll be there
When it comes, I know you will
Think a little less and live a little more
You gotta live one day at a time
Because you dared to wake up
And find yourself alive
Let's try this one more time
'Cause I can't wait forever
I'm a mess of all I've tried together
And one more day
The sun will rise
With changing avenues
Just like you
And there we'll meet
My favorite friend
I'm still in love with you
Why can't you be too?
Think a little less and live a little more
I gotta live one day at a time
Because I dared to wake up
And find myself alive

Husbandry
02:45
|
|

The tension sits out on the nightstand
It has become my only friend
Can you find some time for curious?
You're broken again and so you call me
I'll cave in
Hand me your problems, I will solve them
Don't tease me
Is this the last thing I'll regret?
I'm still breathing
I can't kill the voice inside your head
Look at everything around here
Do you like what you see at all?
A house full of prizes that surround you
Because they own you
Don't tease me (husbandry)
Is this the last thing I'll regret?
I'm still breathing (husbandry)
I can't kill the voice inside your head
Painted pictures in the bedroom
Memories are fading too soon
Live for nothing else but for this moment

Save Me
02:45
|
|
||
Something to write on
Catch my breath
Don't run away
Clean slate in the morning for you
Save me
Don't say it again
I won't make you wait again
Don't make me hesitate ever again
Worries only take our days away

Insomnia
02:57
|
|
||
So here we go the rounds again
Holding my breath, I'm counting one to ten
False witnesses sport their sickness
They don't care, don't mind their business
Don't let them change your mind
I'll keep my anger to myself
Don't save your social life for someone else
I'm reading headlines on the ceiling
On couches following a dream
What if this don't mean anything?
Sometimes the dirty work just keeps us breathing
I've said that there's no answer
Still getting nowhere faster
I won't let them change my mind
It's all in here
Insomnia

Lane's Song
03:36
|
|
||
He leaves her just for a week
He's off to live his dreams
Now he's in another town
He's never let her down
And she knows
Do you feel alright?
Or does it hurt inside?
Don't let her know
Don't let her know
He takes off in the night
No telephone in sight
Don't go
Now there's another man
And she don't give a damn
If he knows
Do you feel alright?
Or does it hurt inside?
Don't let her know
Don't let her know
All the love you've shown
Now you're all alone
Don't let her know
Don't let her know
And now I think he understands
What it takes to be a man
Turn your back
Just turn your back
Just let her go

My Sweet
04:05
|
|

Dreadful Sunday
And you were there to numb my brain
I didn't think that there was no way
I swore that you could feel my pain
Don't run out on me now
I can't replace you now it's too late
I didn't think you'd go away
But now it's time to alleviate
You swore you'd never go away
Now it's too late
Sweet on dry lips
No more I get
Was my secret
Now it's wasted
