Love it or Leave it
03:17
|
|||
|
the city lights light one at a time,
for each owner that you've never met
I ride the highway to your driveway
and ask is this place large enough yet
I wish that it was time to leave
but I love the feeling anyway
the reason it was so nice yesterday
was so that it could just rain today
you love it and leave it or live it and breath it
all the same in the end, you're alive, you survived
the catcallers call her and they're taken aback
as she turns round to them and calls them back
all they can do is just sit and stare
because they didn't know where to go from there
the bullet was shot from the killer's gun
as you grabbed me and said "hey we'd better run"
looking back I thought I we were fine
till it went through your head and right into mine
you love it and leave it or live it and breath it
all the same in the end, you're alive, you survived
(instrumental break)
you love it and leave it or live it and breath it
all the same in the end, you're alive, you survived
you love it and leave it or live it and breath it
all the same in the end, you're alive, you survived

just let me stay a little longer, gimmie just a little time, I don't want to leave just yet
I had a dream about you last night, I looked it up online, but I don't believe what's on the net
I wanna make you smile, just for a while
there's a time to give and a time to take,
there's the hearts that you make and the hearts that you break
I don't think this could work out, but I'd love it if it did. You're not so easily impressed
there's a streak in me that's jealous, and I keep it under wraps, but it's making me so stressed
I wanna make you smile, just for a while
there's a time to give and a time to take,
there's the hearts that you make and the hearts that you break
I wanna take it slow, just so you know
I don't want to play the game,
but I'll love you just the same
I wanna make you smile, just for a while
there's a time to give and a time to take,
there's the hearts that you make and the hearts that you break
just let me stay a little longer, I don't want to leave just yet. I don't want to leave just yet.

Rainy January

I think it's time we left yesterday for yesterday
you and I could drift apart in a thousand different little ways
I'm less than you were then but I'm more than you have now
a little bit goes a long long way when you're feeling like you don't know how
a lover's touch led him to waste and experience the aftertaste
what's with all the stupid pride about how you feel so dead inside?
a christ like figure in middle age, and a student who works for minimum wage
he beats his chains against his cage as the christ like figure takes to the stage

talking about
wondering why you
cancel the plans
things always fall through
with you
oooo it makes me laugh,
it makes me cry, I really tried this time
make up today
some other way when
I make new plans
and then they will fall
through too
not like I cared
okay I cared
I'd like to go
tell me again when
you're free
oooo it makes me laugh,
it makes me cry, I really tried this time

the airplane on the skyline creates a sonic boom
as jetstream marks the memory of where the clouds were making room
I'm not your pastime. I'm alive it's not like last time
does the art inspire life or the life inspire the art
can you seperate the feeling from your feelings at the start
gaining quite the fame in our secret agent game.
she's got the range but I've got the strange
I'm not surprised. That much I can surmise
next time would you miss when things they go amiss
does time inspire the changes or change inspire the life
and then time starts feeling strange, as you cut through like a knife
she says if you don't know what I'm saying then it's okay to relax
because there's just too many questions and she doesn't know the facts
tell me what kind of message does it sends
when strangers begin where empathy ends?
can you make it slower? actually, let's make it louder
I'm not resisting, the feeling shouldn't make me
wait back up, could you say it again? I think I didn't hear you
are the things you're saying what you're saying or are they thing you actully do?
I'm breaking down, my body's breaking up
look at this town, then drink it from a cup
it's happening again, all over
making what you didn't want to make what you wanted again again
haven't making simple taking without what you're never faking
the people out there are monsters, they'll eat you up alive
board up all your windows, and lock yourself inside
things have gone awry I'm afraid that I might cry
tears are running dry, I'm afraid that I might die

Cut me up, and bring me down.
I'm not as much alive as I was found
I wish that I could see you now,
I love you but I don't know how
I wish I could love you like I love you
it's over now, I want to go home
it's over now, I want to go home

wake up in the morning, try to go back to bed
the sun is shining in the sky there's a pain inside my head
screaming at the sunshine
at the break of day
you could be a lifeline
if you make it go away
the kitchen sink is sinking, in dirty food scrap broth
I'd wipe it up with something, but I'm washing all my cloth
never find the time
to make my kitchen shine
everything is fine
everything is fine!
she's gonna break your heart!
(she's gonna break your heart!)
she's gonna break your heart!
(she's gonna break your heart!)
like she broke mine
clear up all my pictures, I lied I saved a few
I'll probably never look at them, but what can you do?
throw out all those memories
take them out again
find another hobby or just
smoke away the pain
gonna cut my hair, I think I got it right
nevermind I hate it, I'll cut it again tonight
maybe I should shave it
I'd have to let that sit
everything is fine
everything is fine!
she's gonna break your heart!
(she's gonna break your heart!)
she's gonna break your heart!
(she's gonna break your heart!)
like she broke mine

Your Name in a Song
04:24
|
|||
|
the summer's light, my sleeve's a heart
a song to sing to you
the time has passed to say again
that I want to see you too
ask me if I'd put your name in a song
so some other guys might sing it even if the name's wrong
a crowded place I hate to go
I know you hate it to
the magic of the things you say
is when you mean to see them through
ask me if I'd put your name in a song
so some other guys might sing it even if the name's wrong

Make Them Feel Better
05:41
|

|
when I hold you in my arms,
I feel better about this life
when I think about you later
the pain of missing you's like a knife
when I think about the feelings that you give to me
I know you're everybody's special someone,
waiting to discover
when you tell it like it is
you tell me what I need to know
when I worry about the future
you tell me why I shouldn't be so
when I think about the loving that you show to me
I feel ashamed to be in love with you
and act the way I do
oh you make the way
for everyone around you
to love and to be loved
make them feel better
don't trade away
the love you hold inside
for the things that make you bitter
and begin to feel alive
when you asking me who loves you
I tell you everyone you know
but you say you don't believe me
'cause they don't let their feelings show
when I think about the truth of what they say to you
I know you're everybody's everything
every single time
talk to me on the phone
tell me I'm not alone
everything so bad you done is something everybody's done
the feeling doesn't make you, without the smoking gun
oh you make the way
for everyone around you
to love and to be loved
make them feel better
don't trade away
the love you hold inside
for the things that make you bitter
and begin to feel alive

Pin Drop
05:34
|

|
there's a coin I keep around, cause I like the way it sound
when it drops onto the ground and spins around and around
there's a pin drop in the night, you can hear it around for miles
and when I look into your eyes, I'd like to stay there, for a while
and tell you I like the way you smile
and tell you I want to see you more
just tell me what to do, 'cause I'd love to know
if you think about me too, just tell me so
the closer that you come, the faster my head spins
my heart's flying around, the chest it's beating in
and if the feeling's feeling right, we could kiss beneath the stars
you could stay here for the night, and we could sleep inside my car
and tell you I like the way you smile
and tell you I want to see you more
just tell me what to do, 'cause I'd love to know
if you think about me too, just tell me so
|

when you're tired of living
I'll be waiting there
smiles suit up and slide away
across your empty stare
how can you love you?
if you don't want to care
Never tried to ask
'cause you always hesitate
it's less about the things you think
and more the times you wait
what's gonna stop you
from feeling so unsure?
tell her it'll be alright
worry about the future
tell her it'll be alright
worry about the future
(baby)
tell her it'll be alright
worry about the future
tell her it'll be alright
worry about the future
(baby)
when you're so afraid
of all the things you avoid
waking up takes faking luck
and makes you paranoid
what makes it difficult
is everything you are
have you ever wondered
where you'd have to hide
from the people who would try to steal
what makes you feel alive
from the people who are tired
and makes the great divide

Outgrow Me
04:18
|
|||
|
when you're smilin' in the sun
and the weekend's just begun
it's the last thing you'll remember
before the weekend's done
if it makes you feel better
we're listening to your voice
it makes us feel alive
'cause innocence is a choice
they only outgrow me
yeah I'm alive, what's it to you?
I guess I want a little more,
as people sometimes do.
