I'm sure you're gonna love me
But you said you've gotta find a reason to
Just feed me to the birds
I'm lost I've heard
but you won't give me reasons to change who I am
Up here
You can't touch me
Up here where I'm always smiling
And in a week or two
I'm come down
and see the world for what it is
Sometimes a reason to take off my shoes
Sometimes a reason to be embarassed to
But, Jesus, I'm tired of reasons at all
and what's a reason without something to do.
Here with the leaves,
The fog
The trees
and goddamn, you're not one of them
And though your eyes might shine like the sun
I'm afraid I can't see them anymore
So pass me by
ooooooh, I'm a corporate man now
oooooooooh, I guess I've seen the world
ooooooh, just pass me by
Or tell me to go
If I'm dying
Then dig me a hole
Cause I'm not dying if i'm living here
It's a shame that you can't see.

Being Honest

Are you tired of the crude remarks?
Would you like me to be less cryptic?
I don't wanna lose you.
We're locked up here
Bound to lose
We've gone so far from the truth
A word from me to you
Sitting in the sandbox tellin you the truth
Sandbox truth
I'm boiled up
Another Friday night alone
On a bridge to nowhere
Sometime soon
All of my thoughts are in the news x 4
One step over the edge,
One step over the edge
Let's get back to basics
How's that feel?
How's that feel?
I can be honest when I want to be
The government's taking all of my money
Go back to your hometown
Another Friday night alone
From where I'm standing
my sandbox is the best place
to read the news

Social Grace and Alcohol
04:26

The colors in your hair
Rushing down your lips is all it took
To start making sense
Social grace has got me so confused
Paint a picture with
the blue in your eyes
Let it drip and fall to the ground
Imagine in another way
These summer days
We drift away
Stop telling me
Nobodys listening
I don't believe you
Anymore
Want to get away?
Right now
it seems like all we can do
You gotta stop
Wearing all of that makeup
I want to be around
When somebody breaks your heart
I hope it's not me
On a rainy day
You're driving me
Driving me
Driving me
To a place
Where we can start over
I don't know if I want to
Watch the breeze
Tug on your coat
The SUN makes your skin shimmer....
I can't believe you
Melted my eyes
We can't consume
All of this social grace and alcohol
You drink it down
I never knew you were a killer
It kills me
That you can't come clean
The skys just an apple and
We're just two seeds
and it burns x 30
Wonderful,
Stop moving so slow
You better stop
Wearin all that makeup
And it kills me to know
The sun's going down
Smile.
Look at the SUN.

She took a ride,
Hope it's not that way
All right
All eyes on me again
I wish that I'd win tonight
With so much
More then I wanted in
More than I wanted out so
But, ah,
so what?
I'm thinking about you
So what?
The look on your face tonight
Says we could go anywhere
At anytime
I don't think so
I don't think so
But so what?
(We're so far apart)
I guess you better write your number down.
I heard the bell ring
It's just my time
I heard the bell ring
Oh.
It says I'm not that much
into thinking this is real
Like to do it as I go
I don't think we're catching on
I don't think we're catching on
Tonight we can be
as big as two giants
in a heavy
rain
Looks like we're coming clean
And we can burn as bright
We can stay the night
You'll wake up
I won't say what I was thinking
(I heard the bell right it's just my time I heard the bell ring)
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
We could spend the night
It's turned out so much right
We're not shining anymore
I tried it out
I don't burn that bright.
Anymore.
Not like we used to
Not like we used to
The fire burned out
Tonight
The fire burned out
It used to burn so bright
Tonight
Looks like we better get used to it
This is the way it is.

I Wish I'd Stayed

I guess I've made up my mind
To sit alone and waste all my time
And you you told me
That wasn't right
You said I've gotta get back to who I am
I wish I'd stayed
I didn't wait for you
I wish I'd stayed
I didn't wait for you
You, you said,
I gotta learn to spend my money
On a job
A guitar, I'll go real far
I don't think you know
You said
That's the way that life's supposed to be
Where's your career?
Where are you going?
(You gotta stop doing all those drugs)
You better be what I want you to be
Still, I wish I'd stayed
I didn't wait for you
In this crooked dream
What did you expect me to do?
I don't wanna stay anymore
Wish there was a better way
I'd sit around and wait for you
In this crooked dream
I'd sit around and wait for you
What do you want me to be?

All Too Late

Get over it
Ya gotta
Get over it
Maybe you're just freaking out
Maybe you're just freaking out about
How this will end
It's all too late to figure it out
It's all too late to figure it out
Got a feeling something's snatching me up
And we're just cooling down
There's gotta be
Something better
There's gotta be
Something I can hold on to
Take me down the road a while
To a place I remember well
We found some faith in God
And we never came back
I gotta get this off my mind

Everything I said
It was all just a joke
Begging to say
We were sincere
We did what we could
It hits me in the gut
I think I made it clear
Stop saying you're wrong
Don't look at me that way
I'm sick and feeling like I
Don't wanna stop
You're asking too much of me
Bridge:
Then it was 8 o'clock
You were drinking that beer
When you told me
All this was not real
What the hell was I supposed to do?
Chasing you down the street that night
I learned wrong from right
What's real and what's not
Stop telling me
What's real and what's not
