something blue
03:25
|
|||
daniel just came in
to the room and
everybody's singing
i can see them
their eyes all on this guy
with a blue stare
that can melt my sighs
he doesn't pay attention
but i do
i wish he'd see me too
take my hand
or something new
i wish he'd see me too
take my hand
or something blue
i wish that through the noise
he'd make a choice
when the crowd has parted
when the song has ended
sing only to me
verse and chorus
sing only to thee
he doesn't pay attention
but i do
i wish he'd see me too
take my hand
or something new
i wish he'd see me too
take my hand
or something blue

back me up
03:17
|
|||
you gotta back me up, baby
they've all deserted me
they've given up on me
it was easy as one, two, three
they didn't really know me
not in the first place
all they got to see was
my fake smiley face
when they asked me questions
i just played it all too safe
safe
you're wondering the same
if i ever told you lies
truth is i don't know
you're the only thing that is mine
they're putting me down
to put someone else to the top
they'll be shooting me down
as soon as i could drop
as soon as i could drop
as soon as i could drop
drop
you gotta back me up, baby
they've all deserted me
they've given up on me
it was easy as one, two, three
they didn't really know me
not in the first place
all they got to see was
my fake smiley face
when they asked me questions
i just played it all too safe
safe

mystery
03:04
|
|||
you have no idea how important this is
you can't let me build it up then take the piss
wasn't i always there when you needed me
wasn't i always there, didn't you see
all i need was one active day
and i promise i'll be out of your way
then you won't see me again in this street
where i go will remain a mystery
wasn't i always there when you needed love
wasn't i always flying like a turtle dove
now you won't see me again in this street
where i went will remain a mystery

you said you were moving away
i asked you if you can stay
you shook your head and started to stand
i hurt myself grabbing your hand
i can try
i can hide all your things
but you will do what you want
i can shout
i can doubt
but you will do what you want
you said you were seeing someone
i tell you this one won't last
you tell me i'm just being sour
you can't go home at this hour
i can try
i can hide all your things
but you will do what you want
i can shout
i can doubt
but you will do what you want

turn the world
02:26
|
|||
i can't hold things any longer
there's no way to piece it together
this house is burning down
puzzle pieces are scattered around
you can try to search the ground
turn the world upside down
there's a place beyond this corner
just hold my hand, we'll find it together
this house is burning down
puzzle pieces are scattered around
you can try to search the ground
turn the world upside down
you can try the lost and found
until the fury has lost its sound

do you have any idea how evil you are
standing here in this very spot
do you have any idea how much air you let pass
breathing in and out of this rut
and i ask when are you gonna start seeing things
through someone else's contact lenses
when are you gonna start packing your things
park your car, now you know you blew your chances
and i know that you wanna grow
things out of proportion
and i could have let you
do your business
although it was never regular
and i ask when are you gonna start seeing things
through someone else's contact lenses
when are you gonna start packing your things
park your car, now you know you blew your chances

flag ceremony
03:57
|
|||
i see myself in the yard
saluting the flag
and in my palm, beads of hot,
terrified sweat
i easily make some friends
but i know, i'll lose them again
how many days do i have to linger
how many days do i have to be a sinner
so i take off to somewhere i don't need to talk
in the ghostly walls of a hospital wing, i walk
then i ride the elevators looking at all the sinners
while a voice inside my head tells me i'm flying
tells me i'm falling
tellls me i'm dying
i go home at the end of the day
i pretended
that i'm just a regular happy little student
i easily make some friends
but i know, i'll lose them again
how many days do i have to linger
how many days do i have to be a sinner

past life
01:37
|
|||
come away with me
blow the dust away
your eyes are too shiny
i can see your past lives
i can see you lie
your mouth wide open, jaws locked in
you were locked out of everything
misunderstood, they said
i can see your lowly existence
your eyes tell a different story
you were trying, so hard to see
your eyes tell a different story
your eyes are too shiny

pillowfight
03:33
|
|||
he broke my head
until i'm out of breath
i taste the pillow case
until the feathers start to suffocate
this is a pillow fight
it corrupts my eyes
gone is my sight
i start singing a lullabye
he thinks i'm saying farewell
so he packs his life, cain and abel
i fought him, i fought it hard
called him a coward
he was one from the start
this is a pillow fight
it corrupts my eyes
gone is my sight
i start singing a lullabye

show me
02:52
|
|||
can't carry anyone
can't even carry myself
finding it hard to relate
to anyone who smiles at me
come away with me
show me who you are
come away with me
take me to the stars
you can break my fall
with you, i won't be seen at all
when i wake
can i jump out of my skin
when i die
can i live another time
be in your body
be at your side
in a place where i can dream
where i can hide
in a place where i can dream
where i can hide

prolly
02:54
|
|||
that's probably why i believed in your smile
that's probably why i dreamt that you died
but it was all in my head
i woke up and i was alone in my bed
that's probably when the summer ended
that's probably how the rain started
but it was all in my head
i woke up and i was alone in my bed
that's probably why all my friends left
that's probably how i lost all of them
but it was all in my head
i woke up and i was alone in my bed

get out
03:16
|
|||
you come in for a fraction
of a second
look at me and heave a
sigh of relief
i shake my head,
i don't know what it means
maybe you're tired
or you're leaving
but you lie in the bed,
you close your eyes
and i close mine
when you move your body,
i feel it too
you say my name
but i don't answer
you walk over to the closet
i'm hearing the past,
the good and the bad
i'm seeing the first time i met you
do you think the joy in your eyes
was as true
do you think you can stay for just a little while
i hear my name called once again
i think it's final
i don't move an inch
i think if i did, i'd drown in you
my head is swimming as you closed the door behind you
i turn around and it's just cold

sleeping with the enemy
03:05
|
|||
why do you keep
sleeping with the enemy
when i am here
waiting for you
why do you keep
sleeping with the enemy
when i am here
waiting alone
why do you keep
trying to change her mind
back to what she never was like
when would you
start seeing the reality
of what she can do
to you
to me
why do you keep
sleeping with the enemy
when i am here
waiting for you
why do you keep
sleeping with the enemy
when i am here
waiting alone
why do you keep
staying in relationships
that you know
won't go anywhere
do you get some
pleasure out of insanity
and out of a girl who doesn't care

country road
02:35
|
|||
i feel that gravel and stones can sink so low
i feel that dust settle in your coat
roses bloom in the coldest states
but where you live, snow comes in late
in the country road, life seems like
a little distracted often times
the gorgeous folks of sunlight
can only grow out of deep darkness
jimmy can choose to die if he wants to
he can be a civil war soldier
there's nothing like a religious woman
to send someone running back to
in the country road, life seems like
a little distracted often times

fooey
02:54
|
|||
he was always there
like a memory of things
i was too busy to do
when i was a bit younger than you
you laughed like a friend
you smiled like a lover would
beside in the bed
where life just started
he was always there
like a memory, like a rule of thumb
he was always bare
folding his arms, that i could never forget
you laughed like a friend
you smiled like a lover would
beside in the bed
where life just started

love and death in manila
01:23
|
|||
they all came to get me and you
caught under the bed
we were looking for a lost key
they think we were butting heads
but i'll tell them what i told you
just like life, love is a random shot
from the bullet to the hole
death is searching for a parking lot
we were sharing our sob tales
but this affair is a hit or miss
we don't have much of a chance with this

down the highway
02:12
|
|||
deliver my letter
back to the sender
you've got a secret
you gotta keep it
down the highway
humor is wasted on fools
like youth is wasted in schools
i told you that i would
go back if i could
down the highway
