When I can’t stand up
I wanna get down
On my knees and pray
That I don’t never go there again
No no never go
There
I said it
I get moody, I get moody, lord I get moody
Don’t make me show you
Driving on here
On the edge
Coming in faster
To a head
I’m never gonnna stop here again
No no never gonna
Stop
Forget it
I get moody, I get moody, lord I get moody
Don’t make me show you
I don’t wanna know what’s down there in your soul
Because you said you don’t believe in me no more.
I just got to go cuz I can’t stay in this role
And then you said you don’t believe in me no more.
And when you said you had a real good reason
I just don’t think that I care.
I’ve been trying to live a life with meaning
And you said it’s unfit to wear.
So there, is the reason. So there, is your reason.
Surrounded…
We’ve gone through all the awkward phases
Slaved our way for meager wages
Made it through so many stages
Start ripping out those useless pages
We’ve had enough self-medication
Headache central reservation
It took all of your dedication
To stop this self-made situation
Surrounded…
Why worry now
Why hurry now
You’re surrounded…
You’ve longed for all the latest crazes
Searched the crowd for friendly faces
Known it on a first-name basis
And lost yourself in all the mazes
Took a part in all the action
Tried to move up without traction
Feeling less than just a fraction
All just for the satisfaction?
Surrounded…
Why worry now
Why hurry now
You’re surrounded…
When the clocks start circling
You hear the tick tock thundering
Cornered by time, can’t run today
How you gonna get up… to push it away?
I’m not gonna change a thing at all. [x2]
Why should anybody care for us?
Or share with us?
The reason to be?
Why would anybody fool about?
Or put it out?
They’re not what they seem.
I think it’s time you’d better cool it down,
Not fool around,
And do what you should.
The better part of you is worse for wear,
You took your share,
You did what you could.
It’s not gonna change a thing at all. [x4]
You couldn’t ever have it all your way
And so you say
It’s not worth the pain.
You wouldn’t ever wanna walk away
And face the day
It all goes insane.
You said you’re not capable,
This is way too hard.
You take your love,
Board it up,
Put a sign in the yard.
You’re not gonna change a thing at all. [x4]
I’ll get what’s coming to me.
It smashes straight into me.
I feel it cutting through me.
I guess I couldn’t even
(couldn’t even) change a thing at all. [x4]
Fake Smiles and Dishes Breaking
No need for metaphor,
In fear and always faking
You’re never real no more.
It’s in the face you’re making
I’ve seen that look before,
Not worth the chance I’m taking-
In case you’re keeping score.
Look at the situation
And what it makes us do
Should we become impatient?
Or wait to see it through?
Not of our own creation
But still we must be true,
Don’t lead me on with faces-
Just give me something new.
(Thank you for not believing in me)
There’s nothin new about this one
And I know you’ve been there
I wondered what I was missing
Reaching out into air
I Guess I Thought I Was Lonely
One short of what I need to be.
I Guess I Thought I Was Lonely
Two times more than half of me.
It’s not too short of disaster
And how I sense what I’ve lost
But I only go faster
When I add up the cost
I Guess I Thought I Was Lonely
One short of what I need to be.
I Guess I Thought I Was Lonely
Two times more than half of me.
I’ll stop believing that you’re trying to get even
If you never mention that you did it for attention
Just keep on pouring cuz I want to get some more in
But don’t ever question bout the power of suggestion
I’m not afraid of all the things that you are made of
And I’m never certain I want a look behind the curtain
You’ve got a motive for just how it is that you live
And I’m nobody’s fool… except for you.
Makes No Difference to me
If I’m not quite what I seem
I’ve been trying just to be
A bit player in my dreams
And if you look right in/And if you take a spin
And if you look real close/It’s right in front of your nose
How much clearer can it be?
If it’s there for you to see?
Line them up and they’ll agree
It’s been paid for and you’re free
To take a look right in/To take it for a spin
And if you look real close/It’s right in front of your nose
They stuck it in your eye (x3) Take a look
Cuz I’m not saying that I found my way in
And I’m not part of what you’ve started
And I’ve been told that it gets old
Until you’re left with just a bust up crust of what it was
All the clouds are wiped away
And the colors fill the grey
Now to see what’s been concealed
Is a mystery revealed
If there’s a love here / And if that’s right
If there’s a love / Stay with me tonight
My hands are shaking/My jaw is tight
I’m all tensed up because I fear the height
You’ve got to come back down when you’ve gone for it all
Because you can’t hang on when it’s time to fall
You’ve got to let it go Can’t hang on the wing
Don’t be dragging along, You’ll ruin everything
So I ask you now why go up anyway?
If you’re not about to make it today?
And I’m not one to jump into things
And tell me where’s the fun that falling brings?
leavin’ — leavin’ on your own
leave it — leave it all alone
but even — even as you’re going
believin’ — believin’ all you’ve known
and I knew
the things that never were
would come true
like they did before
and I’m swearing off all love
Wait just a minute while I catch my breath
I’m alive, with every motion I can laugh at death
Know why, I shed the clothes that never make the man
I’ll try to make this something, and I know I can
Meet me at the playground
And make sure you bring your love
You’re the only one I’m thinking of.
What isn’t finished isn’t started yet
And the things that make your future haven’t found you (yeah)
So I will just be silent as your busy friend
And my only intention is to help you mend.
Meet me at the playhouse
And make sure you bring your love
You’re the only one I’m thinking of.
