I Wish I Was Wrong
04:15
|

The sound of you banging down the hall
Woke me up and now I can’t get back to sleep
You act like your father, coming home
After midnight. I don’t like the way this feels
There’s worlds in this house that each of us
Has created and they hardly overlap
Ten years together and I feel
Like a stranger, like I’m standing at the door
I’m not confident anymore
And that makes you afraid
How long should I wait for the truth?
I wish I was wrong
I recall last December when you swore
It was nothing and I’m sure you meant it, too
But now all you do is look away
When she’s talking like it makes you feel guilty
I’m not confident anymore
And that makes you afraid
How long should I wait for the truth?
I wish I was wrong
This all is getting old
And I feel abused
What now do you suppose?
What should I do?

There’s alotta space between
My thoughts and
Anything you hear me say
I never feel like I can get
My head straight
Till I finally walk away
I can’t complain
But I don’t know
It’s getting loud in my head
All confused
I’m keeping up
You know I’m trying my best
Don’t let me get down
Don't let me get down
Sunlight bouncing off of cars
In traffic
I don’t know which way to turn
I wish that I could draw a line
Take action
Well, I guess I never learned
I can’t complain
But I don’t know
It’s getting loud in my head
All confused
I’m keeping up
You know I’m trying my best
Don’t let me get down
Don't let me get down
Night comes too late
Don’t know what to do
If I could just fall asleep
Maybe I’d get the hang of this
But I can’t stop all the noise
Blue light window
All that I can see
I can’t complain
But I don’t know
It’s getting loud in my head
All confused
I’m keeping up
You know I’m trying my best
Don’t let me get down
Don't let me get down

Walkin round in a circle
Got nowhere to be
Take a look in the windows
Well, what do you see?
It’s getting loud in my head
But that’s okay
I’m feeling alright
We could stay here all day
And I wouldn’t mind
I don’t need much to be amused
It’s anything you wanna do
Sunlight for days
I feel I’m exactly where I belong
Believe me, I can’t stand for anything less
Than wasting all my time away
It’s easy now
You know we’re both getting older
Well everyone is
But I’ve been feeling it lately
More than I ever did
Back when I was alone
I guess you’ve changed
My perception of time
And now I feel like a slave
To all I love
So I’m gonna keep it close to me
Until our bodies rest in peace
Sunlight for days
I feel I’m exactly where I belong
Believe me, I can’t stand for anything less
Than wasting all my time away
It’s easy now
And I could lose this in a flash
But I don't I like talking like that
Sunlight for days
I feel I’m exactly where I belong
Believe me, I can’t stand for anything less
Than wasting all my time away
It’s easy now

No More Magic
03:33

I just want you
to be happy, my friend
I just want you
to be happy, my friend
I've heard this story, know the gory
Truth of it
Don't know what else I can say
There’s no more magic, something happened
I don't know
Someday maybe I'll relax
In my daydreams,
I'm as light as the wind
In my daydreams,
I'm as light as the wind
I've heard this story, know the gory
Truth of it
Don't know what else I can say
There’s no more magic, something happened
I don't know
Someday maybe I'll relax
Sometimes I still see it there
At the end of the house
Cold night fog, psychopathic stare
Sometimes I just fool myself
I just want you
to be happy, for real
I just want you
To be happy, for real
I've heard this story, know the gory
Truth of it
Don't know what else I can say
There’s no more magic, something happened
I don't know
Someday maybe I'll relax

Tumbleweed

Out of town, out of sight
I guess we’re doing fine
But I don’t have much patience anymore
Cigarettes in coffee cups
Just roll the windows down
And tell me everything that’s on your mind
The highway’s bright and clean
The day is moving on
And this ain’t what it seems, not at all
Summertime, sleepy eyes
I'm looking through the glass
Convince yourself of anything you want
Tumbleweed, it’s all okay
Just turn the music down
And tell me everything that’s on your mind
The highway’s bright and clean
The day is moving on
And this ain’t what it seems, not at all
The night is dark and mean
The highway’s moving on
And this ain’t what it seems, not at all

Holly

Holly came by to say hello
Holly came by to say goodbye
It’s been raining now for days
And it’s been weeks since I've gone out
Sends her regards, at least she tries
Said that she's sorry you aren't here
Got a new man, he seems alright
Said that the kids are doing well
Everything's changed
But all of it looks exactly the same, babe
Tell me what is happening here
Just tell me what is happening here
Wind blowing through the window screen
And I cannot place this memory
Smells like the summer finally broke
It makes me happy, makes me cry
Everything's changed
But all of it looks exactly the same, babe
Tell me what is happening here
Just tell me what is happening here
I can hear your voice
Sunlight everywhere
Young and eager to
See what we can do
Sometimes I feel like I'm a ghost
Some days I never leave the bed
Holding my phone above my eyes
Trying to occupy my mind
Everything's changed
But all of it looks exactly the same, babe
Tell me what is happening here
Just tell me what is happening here

Bright yellow day
Watching people walking
By on a dirty street
Can't settle down
Gotta get my head straight
My thoughts run away from me
Loud all the time
Everything's in motion
But all I wanna do is sleep
“What's wrong with you?
You should lighten up some”
“I’m sorry but I have to leave”
Help me out
What's going down?
Is this the way
I'm supposed to feel?
Hot afternoon
See my shadow stretching
Out cross the dull concrete
Make up your mind
I can’t make up my mind
There's somewhere that I have to be
Help me out
What's going down?
Is this the way
I'm supposed to feel?
Everybody's always going some place
But I don’t care
Everybody’s got something to say
Help me out
What's going down?
Is this the way
I'm supposed to feel?

Kathy

Somewhere in the parking lot
Of a strip mall in the ‘burbs
Kathy sits alone in the back of her car
She's had a long day and
She just wants to find a little time
To watch all the shows that she missed from last week
Well, I don't guess it's easier now
Are you feeling kind of old?
Thinking that you never grew up
Well, no one ever does
It passed you by and now you just
Try to settle down
Her husband comes home after dark
After watching the ballgame
Just drinking beer in his chair, falls asleep
A pretty good insurance salesman
And he drives a big ole truck
He don’t mind the voices inside of his head
Well, I don't guess it's easier now
Are you feeling kind of old?
Thinking that you never grew up
Well, no one ever does
It passed you by and now you just
Try to settle down
Sitting on the the porch out front
Kathy’s far away from here
Smoking cigarettes and playing solitaire
The weather’s being easy now
And the night is cool and nice
The sound of a breeze blowing leaves ‘cross the yard
Well, I don't guess it's easier now
Are you feeling kind of old?
Thinking that you never grew up
Well, no one ever does
It passed you by and now you just
Try to settle down

Can't Tell
02:57
|

Hanging out
By myself
Nothing’s wrong
I can’t tell
I just want outta this game
I just want outta this game
Waking up
Late for school
Make the grade
Play it cool
Then one day you can learn
Then one day you can learn
I tried my best to sing
But I guess I’m wrong
No one ever seems to listen
Unless you wanna talk
Teevee screen
Same old news
Everyone’s dressed in suits
Words come outta their face
Words come outta their face
Late for work
I don’t care
Dirty shirt
Messy hair
I just want outta this game
I just want outta the game
I tried my best to sing
But I guess I’m wrong
No one ever seems to listen
Unless you wanna talk
I tried my best to stay
But I guess I’ll walk
No one ever seems to listen
Unless you wanna talk

Traffic Jam
01:52
|

Running around
Just so I can exist
I can’t remember when
I ever asked for this
Traffic jam
Inside my head
It’s too loud outside
Don’t know what you said
And it’s a shame
Don’t know what I'm doing
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Don't know what I'm doing
There’s no time to think
And no time to love
No time to do anything
But push and shove
Eye on the prize
Till the day you die
Till there's nothing left
Of your little life
And that's a shame
Don't know what I'm doing
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Don't know what I'm doing
Maybe I might have missed the point
Does one of us have to be wrong?
And that's a shame
Don't know what I'm doing
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
Don't know what I'm doing

A Suitable Lie
03:34
|
|||
Dark room daydream
And a stumble
Walking down the hall
And I don't deserve
All that I have learned
There's crows in the yard
And a mirror
Shining on the wall
My reflection is all
That I understand about myself
It seems I've destroyed all that you
Thought that I was
Truly wanna change though we know
That we'll never
But, in my defence,
I have tried
A suitable lie
And a bottle
My prescription padded room
You don't know how
We came to this
But now and again
I'll remember
Your picturesque mornings
When things seemed to fit
Like we hoped they always would work out
It seems I've destroyed all that you
Thought that I was
Truly wanna change though we know
That we'll never
But, in my defence,
I have tried
In my defence
I love you
