So Far Away


If you leave, where will you go
Before the regret you hold in your heart will start to show
If you leave, how will you know
If our ever after ever had a chance to grow
Do you dream or do you sleep
Do you pick and choose amongst the jewels for one to keep
Do you wish upon a star
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away

Nothing seems to change
Let alone when you won't forget my name
Just don't lose what you know
Just don't lose what you know
When you're so far away

So deep you say
And no matter where you go it all ends up the same
Do you wish upon a star
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away

Nothing seems to change
Let alone when you won't forget my name
Just don't lose what you know
Just don't lose what you know
When you're so far away

What you lose is what you know
Where you go is where you grow
How near we've come has yet to show
We've come so close yet so far away
So far away

What did I do to you
What did I do to you
What did I do to you
What did I do to you

Nothing seems to change
Let alone when you won't forget my name
Just don't lose what you know
Just don't lose what you know
When you're so far away

What did I do to you
So far away
What did I do to you
So far away
What did I do to you
So far away...
What did I do to you.

Absolutely ( Story Of A Girl )


This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles...

How many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say...

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles...

How many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this s--t day after day
How did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
How do we get there today
When we’re walking too far for the
Price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say...

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles...

If I Am


So you're standin on the ledge
It looks like you might fall
Its so far down
Or maybe you were thinkin about jumpin
Now you could have it all
If you learned a little patience
For though I cannot fly
I'm not content to crawl
So give me a little credit
Have in me a little faith
I wanna be with you forever
If tomorrow's not too late
But its always too late when you got nothin
So you say
You should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises today

If I am
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

So you're walkin on the edge
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
And you could find the fault
In the heart that you've been handed
For though you cannot fly
You're not content to crawl
And its always too late when you got nothin
So you say
But we should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises

If I am
Another waste of everything you hoped for
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

So you're standin on the ledge
It looks like you might fall

If I am
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

The answers we find
Are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don't talk of dreams
When i won't mention tomorrow
And we won't make those promises we can't keep

I will never leave you
I will not let you down
I will never leave you
I will not let you down

End Up Alone


What I see is what's to be
Cartwheels to eternity
Round and round my head she goes
In the good dreams though she wears no clothes

Took our picture by the sea
The ocean waits to carry me
Carry me back home again
To where she sleeps I lay my head

Saw her running barefoot
But the ground there never touched her feet
Watched her in the shadows
While the tide came in and claimed our beach
We could've made it in the dunes
We had it all within our reach
But I've got a lot of life to learn
And you've got a lot of life to teach

Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
We gather no moss just like a rolling

What I say is what I mean
No definition in between
Couldn't make it in the movie scene
You couldn't stay on, you couldn't stay clean
What you wear is who you are
The odds are in and you'll go far
A penny for your thoughts you'll see
A nickel buys you what you need

Saw you on the big show
Saw you swinging from the big trapeze
Standing on my tiptoes
While you brushed the dirt from off your knees
Should have come as no surprise
No one else here did have your drive
You've got a big white stretch parked right outside
But nobody there to share your ride

Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we all end up dead drunk or stoned

What I know is what I hear
The ringing in my ears is clear
A monkey's got it made you see
Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree

Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
We gather no moss just like a rolling stone
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we always have to find our way back home
Why do we all end up alone
Why do we all wake up dead drunk or stoned

Dead drunk or stoned
Just like a rolling stone.

Sometimes


Shadows they fall on the stage of your own life
Trailing behind footsteps
There's comfort in ghosts who are no longer with you
Hiding behind your death

I let you down, you've lost your own taste
I'm losing ground, I fall from grace
Well, just listen, sometimes

You gotta set free what you love just to bring it back
Oh, would you ever lose me
Would you ever let go for that
And if the love is real, you gotta let yourself go
Just to bring it back, sometimes
Just to bring it back, mmm

Hiding inside my asylum
I'm always hanging on by a thread
I can't expect you to respect me
Until I've learned to respect myself

I've let you down, you've lost your own taste
I'm losing ground, I miss your face
Well, just listen
Well, just listen
Sometimes
Sometimes

You gotta set free what you love just to bring it back
Oh, would you ever lose me
Would you ever let go for that
And if the love is real, you gotta let yourself go
Just to bring it back
Sometimes
Just to bring it back
Oh, the love you're bringing back

I've let you down (I've let you down)
You've lost your own taste
I'm losing ground, I fall from grace
Well, just listen
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes

You gotta set free what you love just to bring it back
Oh, would you ever lose me
Would you ever let go for that
And if the love is real, you gotta teach yourself
Just to bring it back
Sometimes
Just to bring it back
Oh, the love you're bringing back
Oh, the love you're bringing back
Sometimes
Sometimes
Just to bring it back
You gotta rest for a while, oh...
Just to bring it back
Just to bring it back.

Bob Dylan


Bobby's in the basement making his movie
He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy
He wants this little girl to believe in him easy
Bristles to the canvas imagining he feels high, mmm

Inspiration of my heart search for light out of the dark
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog
This oasis in my arms I approach it with disarm
Though it might do me some harm stop to catch me if I fall

Bobby's in the basement making his music
He never won't stop though not to abuse it
If there's some other way that they only would use it
He lives another day but they always refuse it

Lacerations of my heart
Dropped down in pieces in the dark
Mixed the words up on this page
Makes the purple turn to beige

Inspiration of my heart search for light out of the dark
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog
This oasis in my arms I approach it with disarm
Though it might do me some harm
So stop to catch me if I fall

It's just like Bob Dylan says...

Stop depression of my own walk the only road I know
If I am only dreamin' then I am not that far from it
Sow the strength that grows from seeds worship creativity
If I am only dreamin' then me an' Bob are not that far today
So long as I'm young
Bobby's in the basement making his music

I search the beaches walk the sand
I cut my feet on broken glass
Strap the sandals on my feet
I'm run down but I still hit the street

Inspiration of my heart search for light out of the dark
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog

It's just like Bob Dylan says...

Stop depression of my own walk the only road I know
If I am only dreamin' then I am not that far from it
Sow the strength that grows from seeds worship creativity
If I am only dreamin' then me an' Bob are not that far today
So long as I'm young
So long as I'm young, mmm

Bobby's in the basement making his movie
He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy
He wants this little girl to believe in him easy
Bristles to the canvas imagining he feels high, high
Inspiration of my heart
Desperation of my heart, mmm, mmm

257 Weeks


You could be waiting for a day that won't come
And you could be so much more than you've become
And I have found my feet 257 weeks
But you could be waiting for a day that won't come

You could be waiting for your life to begin
And you could be so much more than, than you've been
And I have found my feet 257 weeks
But you could be waiting for your life to begin

And it's so sad
You're so good and I'm so bad
But you won't see me wasting the best thing I've ever had
And it's such a shame
That I can't tell you anything
You won't hear me still you endear me now, yeah

Hard to see past the window facing forward looking back (oh, oh)
Over years spent tracing wondering how you left your track (oh, oh)
Underwater breathing burns your lungs and breaks your back (oh, oh)
And you could be waiting right here for a day that won't come

And it's so sad
You're so good and I'm so bad
But you won't see me wasting the best thing I've ever had
And it's such a shame
That I can't tell you anything
You won't hear me still you endear me now, yeah

Bitter


In my heart sent, my confession, my condolence
You're indefinite, you're incompetent, inconsiderate
You're so childish
I will push you out of what is real, out of my head
You can stick and drown at your residence of disappointments
Are of yours to come
So embrace them, oh, my shallow one today
If I could change anything then I would change everything
These bitter days shall remain

I don't ask for your forgiveness
I don't care much for your actress
That's just you though shallow and selfish
So I go now, oh, my hollow one today
If I could change anything then I would change everything
These bitter days shall remain

You carry your blues behind your eyes
Don't flatter yourself I will survive
So carry your blues, your own denial
Your feathers are gone you'll never fly
If I could change (if I could change) anything
(Anything)
Then I would wipe the years away
If I could change (if I could change) anything
(Anything)
Then I would brush the time away
If I could change (if I could change...) anything
(Anything)
Then I would change (I would change...) everything
(Everything)
These bitter days shall remain

Since you're gone, I'm much better than you
You carry your blues behind your eyes
Don't flatter yourself I will survive
So carry your blues, your own denial
Your feathers are gone you'll never fly

She'll never fly
Mmm...

Back To Me


If you would just come back to me
I would be so good
Put your trust back in me
The least I think you should
We'll call it my pathology
So I misunderstood
A bit selfish I should be
If I could change I would
See it on my face

All I wanted was a friend
To look in me to comprehend
All I wanted was to fly
How could you sit and watch me die
All I wanted was you there
Your cruelty was my despair
You just killed me so the story goes

Once upon a time, there was a girl
Who loved me more than life itself
By the duck pond, she said
Carved our names into the bark
We climbed the tree
I slipped and fell behind
Now I'm sorry

If you would just come back to me
I would be so good
Put your trust back in me
The least I think you should
We'll call it my pathology
So I misunderstood
A bit selfish I should be
If I could change I would
See it on my face
See it on my face

All reminds me of your name
We sought fortune through the rain
Every day and every place
Everywhere I kissed your face
All the sacrifice in vain
How could you put all the blame upon me
That's not fair so the story goes

Once upon a time
We had the moon, we had the stars, we were divine
Upon my shoulder, she cried
Now she hides the faith, she fears, she throws herself
Before her bed of lies
She'll be sorry

If you would just come back to me
I would be so good
Put your trust back in me
The least I think you should
We'll call it my pathology
So I misunderstood
A bit selfish I should be
If I could change I would
See it on my face

If you would just come back to me
I would be so good
Put your trust back in me
The least I think you should
We'll call it my pathology
So I misunderstood
A bit selfish I should be
If I could change I would
If you would just come back to me
If you would just come back to me, oh...
If you would just come back to me
I see it on my face ...
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright.

Crazy


I drive in the rain
With the window open
But it's not the same
When everything has changed
But while your still near
I'll try anything
And I'll say all the things that you said you wanted to hear

But the words inside my head
Are better left unsaid
To lie like the ghosts beneath my bed, oh yeah
Don't you know that I go crazy
But I've nothing left to give
Though I'll miss you for a while
Don't you know that I go crazy
But you're on your own tonight
Though you know I'll miss your smile

You, you can't take back
Half of what you give
And you won't remember
Half the life you've lived
But while you're still here
I'll do anything
And I'll say all the things that you said you needed to hear

Don't you know that I go crazy
But I've nothing left to give
Though I'll miss you for a while
Don't you know that I go crazy
But you're on your own tonight
Though you know I'll miss your smile

The words inside my head
Are better than the words I've said
As always

Don't you know that I go crazy
But I've nothing left to give
Though I'll miss you for a while
Don't you know that I go crazy
But you're on your own tonight
Though you know I'll miss your smile

Don't you know that I go crazy
Though you know I'll miss your smile.

Revolve


I wanna crawl inside your womb
I wanna watch the rose on your cheeks bloom
I wanna be the face in the moon
And watch the stars spin around your room
All your carefully worded letters
And your carefully spoken words

I will continue to evolve
I'll continue to revolve around your sun
Cause you are the only one
Who understands, who reaches out with both hands
Even while you're fading, I'm just shivering and waiting
I will continue to evolve
I'll continue to revolve around your sun
Cause you are the only one

I wanna drink deep from your well
I wanna be the heart for which you fell
I wanna be a shooting star
Across the heavens to be where you are
All your carefully worded letters
And your carefully spoken words

I will continue to evolve
I'll continue to revolve around your sun
Cause you are the only one
Who understands, who reaches out with both hands
Even while your fading, I'm just shivering and waiting
I will continue to evolve
I'll continue to revolve around your sun
Cause you are the only one

I wanna crawl inside your womb
I wanna watch the rose on your cheeks bloom

I will continue to evolve
I'll continue to revolve around your sun
Cause you are the only one
Who understands, who reaches out with both hands
Even while your fading, I'm just shivering and waiting
Who understands, who reaches out with both hands
Even while your fading, I'm just shivering and waiting
I will continue to evolve
I'll continue to revolve around your sun
Cause you are the only one

Time missing out
You're missing out
I'm missing out
(You are the only one)
We're missing out
Time missing out
You're missing out
I'm missing out
(You are the only one)
We're missing out.

Wanna Be


To watch the leaves grow on the trees with you is out of question
I walk into this summer all alone the usual session
You feel your instinct then you act but was it your intention
To leave me down and broken now you've ended our ascension, yeah

I still can feel the beach sand in my shoes, remember when
We talked along the ocean's song til blue from black fade in
But that was then I learned to live without you far within
I ask you why you're back to try to let me lose again

You brought me here, you wet my taste
You disappear without a trace
It wasn't me who made the call
Cause now I wanna be

Where you sleep
Where you laugh
Where you breathe
And I hate to say
Still I sway
Brown your eyes
Gone away

Should I feel some closure I deserve if that at least
And would you be so kind to show reasons for your release
You woke me up from a distant past I left behind complete
The message that you sent that night now falls to bittersweet

Was it me, my honesty
You fail to show I never know
It wasn't me who made the call
Cause now I wanna be

Where you sleep
Where you laugh
Where you breathe
And I hate to say
Still I sway
Brown your eyes
Gone away

Was it me, my honesty
You fail to show I never know
You brought me here, you wet my taste
You disappear without a trace
Did ya think I'd ever lead you wrong
Just know I'll save all of our moments that we are
Still I wanna be

Where you sleep
Where you laugh
Where you breathe
And I hate to say
Still I sway
Brown your eyes
Gone away

Now I wanna be
(Someday you'll wish you never)
Where you sleep
(Someday you'll wish you never)
Where you laugh
(Someday you'll wish you never)
Where you breathe
(Someday you'll wish you never)
And I hate to say
(Someday you'll wish you never)
Still I sway
(Someday you'll wish you never)
Brown your eyes
(Someday you'll wish you never)
Gone away
(Someday you'll wish you never)
It took you long enough
It took you long enough.
