Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go.
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
The man from the magazine said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh ! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Mmmm...
If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung.
And ev'ry time I've had to play while people sat there drunk.
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Through the searching lights that weave and darts
Comes the stranger that cares not for your heart
The pain of living life this way must take its toll on you some day
Your jaded eyes can see embarrassment or harm
The frail skin that bleeds emotionally on guard
All lowest forms of life are pounding you inside
Your hollow cold display your tires masquerade
Let the image that you present entice
Unlike the mirror that shows the strains of vice
Sometimes the rain rains
Sometimes the sunshine shines
Over and over again
Washing us warm and dry
Over the hill i watched you walk up to me
Wind in the grass
Brushed you up like from the sea
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Darker than blue into grey
We watched the sun go down
Lights in the houses went on
Like sun shining from the ground
Then over the hill I watched you walk up to me
Wind in the grass
by Dean Friedman
Lydia keeps my toothbrush in her apartment and she never complains.
Well, hardly ever. And then jokingly she says¡
Boy, it's been so long since I held you, I nearly gave you up for dead. I nearly gave you up for dead. I nearly gave you up for dead.
Lydia, Lydia how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all. This is more than I had planned.
Lydia, Lydia I am at your command, at least until morning comes,
then, I must be off again.
Lydia, you know I always talk about making conscious decisions, about running my own life. Well, maybe I'm fooling myself. It's a role I like to play.
Because more often than not I'm down here on the corner. I'm sorry I woke you. Do you feel like some company? Babe, I need a place to stay.
Lydia, Lydia how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all. This is more than I had planned.
Lydia, Lydia I am at your command, at least until morning comes,
then, I must be off again.
I sleep with a woman who thinks I'm a child. Well, maybe I am. No, that wouldn't surprise anyone. I suspect that much is true.
But, Lydia, if you only knew how much I love you. Did you know that I love you? It's the best that I can do.
Lydia, Lydia how come you understand?
I can offer you nothing at all. This is more than I had planned.
Lydia, Lydia I am at your command, at least until morning comes,
then, I must be off again.
I'm losing my mind in a record amount of time
Is it all in my head?
These ghosts in the hall ways
And mirrors and under my bed
In each town I find there's always a graveyard near by
I'm taking here home
That girl from Glasgow
Whose father just left her alone
And I was moved inside that crooked room
I reached out my hand and shyly asked her to dance
She cried as we swayed and in my head that song continues to play
The saddest melody that just won't go away
And in my mind she's fully real
A little voice that helps me feel
And if they thought I was crazy then
I caught your perfect smile
As I watched you sleep
I saw your beautiful soul
When I felt your heart beat
Your body small your spirit deep
What might have been just makes me weep
Lydia
Where have you been?
Dreams of you
Washed up again
It's the perfect time of day
To be thinking of you
The sun's going down
And the sky's still blue
When you're looking down
Do you approve
Cause life downstairs gets hard on you
Lydia
Where have you been?
Dreams of you
Washed up again
Will you be gone forever?
Where do I begin
Your face in the moon
Reminds me
I will see you again
lydia lydia comes around
lesson number one lesson the sound
in breaking this sonic looming disc
a close encounter is the 1st risk
a psychic a physic a break down
e.s.p e.s.pecially pro and found
mistaking this floating space for right
and shaken gravity
did you get what you're asking for
hideous hideous people kill
destroying fields & rock & stars
you're dying and vying for the break
to be on top of us
did you get what you're asking for
You just complain about today,
And you always say that the worst has never come.
You say,
Nobody will ever come back here.
Of course you're all crazy.
Everyone believes.
I watched the blood spill overseas,
All from the TVs, but
I could give, I could give a shit if you're scared.
Everyone, everyone can taste your hatred.
Yeah, we clean up so well.
Sure as hell, like a picture.
Money speaks back to her.
Just stay with the V.I.P's
Limousines.
It's all in the photography,
and the parties.
Now that you're here,
I guess we made it.
I saw the fear, it covered your faces.
I can see, I can see this never changes.
Everyone, everyone can taste your hatred.
So I told you,
I know how this ends.
You're no different girl,
but we could still pretend.
And you got carried away
in your own dress-up.
I disappear with some other actress.
Yeah, we clean up so well.
Sure as hell, like a picture.
Money speaks back to her.
(I believe, I believe her.)
I love what I am seeing,
Guess I'm calling her reason.
(No, you gotta go.)
Yeah, we clean up so well.
Sure as hell, like a picture.
Money speaks back to her.
(I believe, I believe her.)
I love what I am seeing,
Guess I'm calling her reason.
She wants to hear a song
A song she can move to
Yeah isn't that what you do?
Come on, I know you
So I give it up
I give it once up
Shake her hips 'round
Then we're gone
Yeah, we're all gone
Just call my name
If I don't say what you're thinking
'Cause we got one more season
Well I'm a criminal at best
The best you will find
So come on make your move
I got the whole night
I got to give it up
I got to be honest
Surely one more drink
Yeah, that should solve it
Just call my name
If I don't say what you're thinking
'Cause we got one more season
So I guess I'll be the one to say
I'm the one to blame
You know I got a point, babe
Don't look at me that way
Yeah I thought about it all day
But only in the worst ways
So tell me where they at now
Take my place,
I've not found noise or even notes to show my gift of giving.
Smile just to pass this moment,
And we don't have to be so far
'Cause all she wants is just to float away from here
Nobody speak, I've been meaning to tell you something
It's "Baby, would you call love a calm drug"
Stay up, my love
'Cause you've been dreaming while we've been sleeping
And stay up, my love
'Cause you've been dreaming, oh we've been sleeping
And so we sing and sing, but nobody's witnessing
It's sad enough that you've been loving without your smile
So let's mix it over ours
And it's deep in your sound,
You fill your lungs with this frame
And it's all if you ever are strange
And it's counting with my face's strange
And we like this now, I don't ?
? on your dreams
Every day ?
No, we were so ?
Stay up, my love
'Cause you've been dreaming while we've been sleeping
And stay up, my love
We are the music makers
dreams are gone, dreams.
We are the music makers,
dreams are gone, dreams.
We are the music makers,
dreams are gone, dreams.
We are, we are, we are
I can't stay over you.
It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here,
Just one more try.
I'm guessing you are over me, I guess it's bravery.
Because it's black out the window while you sleep in the passenger seat.
So when it's always on your mind but you never speak of the name.
It's in your blood and face and I'm certain it's fame.
So I stayed out in the car because the weather had gotten to me.
But it's really these road signs and freeways that I can't take.
This can't be how you live.
It's like a ball and chain around your waist or this simple state.
Your mind's sick again.
I'm tasting nothing but 4 words, please don't leave me.
And it's Dark in the winter so your ideas start to sleep.
Well your head is spinning like that carousel,
And I know you're a mess after 3 or 4.
But if you make it different then we'll make our way to the surface,
And your favorite place.
Where we sit, and we breath.
Because I know all the word and I sing you everything.
Well they're just thoughts so go ahead and speak.
Pick out what you like and call me when you're on the way.
You can spend the night and hope to sleep all day.
For me it's just another week, twenty eight was once how I dreamed.
And with your scent on my face I can leave and have you for days.
I still can't see you. The summer came and we got lost, all of us.
You are nothing with out her.
I still wont remember your face,
The features mix too well with this alcohol.
So we cover ourselves in your fear,
And stay to watch that moon disappear under these lights.
This city's screaming at me.
And as you breathe the words I better go.
The sun is up and taking back all the shadows that covered this ground,
So it's another night in my brain
'Cause I can't sleep
And oh, it wears on your shoulders
Just please don't ever leave
Me here, don't ever leave
Don't you leave
Start out like a sailor
And bring back all you need
So everyone else can
Try and get some sleep
It turns out you were into yourself
It turns out you could fuck your way out
Just once more for my baby girl
It turns out you were into yourself
It turns out you could fuck your way out
And so I woke up near the sea,
The sand in my dreams
Cause now you are already falling back in love with me
Just fall back in love, yeah
Just fall back in love
Start out like a sailor
And bring back all you need
So everyone else can
Try and get some sleep
It's just the season on your back
It's just the way we know to act
It's just the season on your back
It's just the way we know to act
It turns out you were into yourself
It turns out you could fuck your way out
Just once more for my baby girl
It turns out you were into yourself
It turns out you could fuck your way out
Follow me down to fake streets so far.
We were way too young but now they're stars.
Cause someone's talking of blood.
Standing so cold in photograph, their faces knew,
And clearly showed every word that nothing comes true.
I'm here stuck in this town no more.
I hoped you would say scratch the paper
And pass a moment making us both around your shoulders
Let's go for the walls never mind who was there,
Just think the night is guilty and my view of the past.
So now it's obvious I've learned, let's see you bet.
Her favorite place to sit, to forget. Cause no one watched or would care.
They smile just to be safe,
Making sure nobody saw two dancing girls with their grins painted on.
New years night to yourself now it's seventy three.
Minutes call for longer,
Finger prints show loss of blood,
But being perfect was always hard wasn't it.
The motivation is hard to find
The screams were heard but never cried,
So tell me how do you go through,
Tell me what brings you to this place.
They will not be afraid,
Only two know how sad this gets the stage is set for them both,
And on the bathroom floor, glass ready, there's no turning back now.
Yeah I got what I wanted
They bled out my organs
They cut me wide open til I grinned
I guess it's time
Doctors came right in
Said he most likely wont live
But who the hell am I spend my life in the Midwest
Hailey if you're out there
I wish you all the very best, dear
Got me away from there
& Hailey if you're out there
I hope you made it through December
That seems like such a blur
Was always the same shit
The god damn apartment
Yeah Basement took it's toll, took it's toll
It's my fault
She loved the nights where
We breathe up that black air
Come on tell me how, tell me how I'm not underground
Hailey if you're out there
I wish you all the very best, dear
Got me away from there
& Hailey if you're out there
I hope you made it through December
I saw Jesus on your back
He's starting to scream
Yeah he's screaming, "No, oh, oh no
You've got to believe me"
So I whispered softly
I got this girl here by my side
What else do I need?
You got your wars up in the minds
So they can harm me
But I'll be singing for free
With love
Happy my love
Got this all in my blood
Need her close enough
Like oh
I just follow the birds right to the coast, hoping
She would follow my footsteps like some kind of ghost
Whispering close
We're not here for long, let's live for this because
I'm so god damn sick of losing my sleep, yeah
She'll be my defeat
Love
Happy my love
Got this all in my blood
Need her close enough
Like oh
Love
Happy my love
They said it came from above
Yeah, that's where it's from
'Cause when I'm dead and I'm gone
Just burn me up to the sun
I got a couple more hits here
I want nothing but you, dear
Yeah, when I stare at the ceiling
Five o'clock in the morning
I got one thing that's on my mind
Got so much to do before we die
Yeah if I survive
So live it up kid, live it real good
As you should
We both know the big guns are models
So tell me what keeps you up at night
Keeps you from closing your eyes, yeah
Keeps you alive
Love
Happy my love
Got this all in my blood
Need her close enough
Like oh
Love
Happy my love
They said it came from above
Yeah that's where it's from
So it was four or five of everything, as you are no good.
I saw it through the frame and through my face.
Covering my eyes, because we are nothing,
And never quite the same from a black and white summer.
With photographs that showed our rails and razorblades.
I think it cured my pain, again.
Promise you will go down my neck.
Just like those pills and your cigarette.
So as my fingers curl,
I move my lips just so you wont have to.
Damnit you clever girl,
Your style is keeping us from sleep.
It's one more and I'm free,
Oh we've been so lucky,
Yeah we've been so likely to lose.
So give in, let's give in.
It's all suicide if I hide.
Because you are everywhere I look and in my skin.
I taste your neck and lips just from breathing in.
Let's call it off kid.
But through the window you reach for the cold.
But the door is so much closer,
And the sun has sold itself to the land
And all over my skin. No! No!
Stop it, stop him.
So what, so what, we all were all afraid.
So this I swear I know, it's not the chemicals.
You are off my mind I finally got away.
You said it's such a life to remember,
So come on, and we'll sleep away December.
It was you, bringing your white company.
Bringing the night so it seemed.
And we will never sleep again.
So as you walk through the door,
And yell I'm never coming back here.
I can't seem to kill my assailants
They just keep changing faces.
I must be sleeping it all off
Just, just like you had promised.
So glad you could make it
to a farewell
'til we meet again,
enjoy yourself.
You're dragging your feet in the mud
So your shoes are stained with blood
I wonder, when will she get here?
One by one they will fall
But you grind your teeth 'til they're raw
I wonder, does it get any better?
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing these proud new sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you ever look back down
She's nowhere to be found
I'm pulling my hair out my scalp
When I realize
Who would've thought I
Sing one song for this girl
Wherever she is in this world
Helps you realize, now or the next life
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing these proud new sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you ever look back down
We'll be up in the desert
Wearin' proud, these sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you dare look back down
Yeah don't ever say you have it
Thinking like that can be tragic
So let me take it from the start
And how you fell apart
Yeah how it all went from perfect
To throw it all in, let's burn it
So take what you need
I'm going back to those punches
Yeah I guess I finally feel like I deserved it
And I gotta make a point, no I gotta make it worth it
Cause if it happened, it happened, you know
You can't change that, it'll sure eat you alive
Gotta let it go, man
Yeah, we'll be up in the desert
Wearin proud, these sunburns
We're on our own time
Don't you dare, don't you dare
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing these proud new sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you ever look back down
We'll be up in the desert
Wearin proud, these sunburns
We're on our own time now
I don't wanna feel this pain,
I'm so tired of being ashamed,
And my heart is so confused,
Cos it's still belongs to you,
Thinking about those days,
Whenever you would call and say,
That i would never be alone,
But now i'm here,
All on my own,
Is it over... is it true...
Oh tell me why,
Give my heart a chance to say,
Goodbye...
We don't even talk anymore,
It's been so long,
Since the last time that you call,
I just don't know, is it me?
Or is there someone else...
If you even care,
If there's still something there,
Don't leave me here...
You were my love, my only need,
And it was you that set me free,
But if only you could see,
All the pain you bring to me,
You were the light guides my way..
You turned the darkness into day,
Said forever we'd be one,
But forever's come and gone,
Is it over... is it true..
Oh tell me why...
Give my heart a chance to say,
Goodbye...
We don't even talk anymore,
It's been so long,
Since the last time that you call,
I just don't know, is it me?
Or is there someone else...
If you even care,
If there's still something there,
Don't leave me here...
Is it over... is it true..
Oh tell me why...
Give my heart a chance to say,
Goodbye...
We don't even talk anymore,
It's been so long,
Since the last time that you call,
I just don't know, is it me?
Or is there someone else...
If you even care,
If there's still something there,
Don't leave me here...
I see your lips start moving. Spitting out some kind of poison
Through them. Come on, give me all your got now bird. Come
On, why you holding back your words. Always a mess, you
Want to change how I'm thinking. Well change me around,
I'm all yours. Come on, give it to me good now bird. Why are
You holding back your words. I've got to get back to the west
Coast. I'll miss your face though. So I won't even say it, with
You I couldn't fake it. Now it's your eyes their moving. Cutting
Through me for some damn reason. Come on, give me all
You got now bird. Come on, you know I've seen your worst. Now I'm
The mess, I've got to change how I'm thinking. Change me
Hollywood never looked so great,
But I will be leaving,
Before you start sleeping.
Now that my face is frozen with expressions I've chosen,
And I'm no where close to my own city,
But it was all night at parties,
And now we are starving,
But I'm still no where near the city.
I try to keep sane,
But this god damn place is a freeway.
I will not make it to see your face.
Too much shit at your workplace
So you start to vacate to a place near the city
Where you make up your problems,
And tell me to solve them,
But I had spent my time sleeping.
What is your point, lover?
Let's see what we can uncover.
It seems to me that we're in...
I couldn't all just end it,
simply put, you were quite offended
I try to keep sane,
But this god damn place is a freeway.
I will not make it to see your face.
Cause what ever happened is supposed to
It started quite young
Yeah, I learned how to, to,
To stay quiet, just stay quiet, always stay
We're cursed with disease
I have to be perfect
And you're not better than me, no.
Don't you ever get lonely?
Yeah, don't you ever get lonely?
'Cause it's no better for me
I still cannot breathe
Don't you ever get lonely?
Yeah, well, don't you ever get lonely?
'Cause I never saw you leave this lately
Well I wasn't sure that I would be staying
So let's stay quiet, yeah, let's stay quiet
Then we can live
Alive in this bed
Alive for the evening
And you're no better
It's never gone, no,
I could be so safe
Don't you ever get lonely?
Yeah, don't you ever get lonely?
'Cause it's no better for me
I still cannot breathe
Don't you ever get lonely?
Yeah, well, don't you ever get lonely?
It's always blue and black or breaking skin,
Well cover up girl we'll finally leave again.
And you breath me in so well,
In your room under the cover of this night.
We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper.
But my eye was caught by your picture.
That's hanging from your mirror,
Like something you forgot.
I'll say that we couldn't sleep just staring at the clock.
But when numbers seem to blur and the reflection is lost.
Anything is love as you stare into your box.
So now we're used to the rain.
We can swim and i'll say we were, never worried.
Because the floods will only bring the coast, and Atlantic closer.
I thought I told you girl.
I thought I showed you the reason.
That all I truly want is to get in your head.
And steal your imagery.
So we can both go to your second story house.
You would never believe this snow.
It's so heavy on our lungs.
But it's creeping up your walls and closing down the roads.
But I swear i'm loving while.
This place is going dead.
So snap our picture, let's go down outside.
You're so perfect in pink.
Black bracelet, I could never forget,
So let's drink up tonight.
You say, you say it, it's running through my veins.
Well please stay safe you're seventeen.
Limousine will take us to meet the crowds.
Never seen room for mistake, but you best bet out was her.
Dresses and alcohol join.
I'll bring you back to your car first.
So why we cry?
And we will soon forget.
Now we're safe, and so sound.
I can hear your heartbeat, she whispers in the car.
Well travel East until you see Ironwood.
Now it's understood, it's finally kicked in.
And as we stop by this gathering of fire at the rocks,
I've forgotten this whole world, and here's to one more.
A story told to scare, a tale to replace.
Words of no real meaning and such awful tasteless lips.
Dresses and alcohol join.
I'll bring you back to your car first.
So why we cry?
[So what's this day after day?
And you're emotions so dull.
So what's this day after day?
And we will soon forget.]
Let's say we were better than our bodies were found.
And I saw her but, there she goes, and there she goes.
Her bright face, black smile, we can't change that.
I never knew that a night could end so, so, so, so...
So there we were minutes from making it.
Celebrate we're finally done and gone.
And though this highway is all too long one more mile to the hotel.
This music's soft and it sounds so good to me,
Your taste of liquor but who will care.
I almost fought to the death,
Yet death had come to this fight.
Look, look now let's see who,
One twenty-two I softly worried not saying a word to the driver. [They are rising, they all rise behind]
Just sing your favorite verse out of key,
I still think it sounds so good to me.
Let it go...
I bet you love me now, now that you've had your drinks,
It's been fun but it's always. This girl, loves fear.
This can wait I can't stay he said it's up here on the right
Wait no I don't know, it's safe.
Where did you go when. Now all I see are faces,
Pale to the touch close your eyes and sing, we're lost.
But the car had to much force to it. And the road is so unforgiving.
Windows shatter like dust and make glass streets and something for our feet.
But she asked "Can we slow down?"
Traffic is time, so we drove and we drove and we drove.
Cause all we lost was years, oh well, think of this think of me think that.
And we will soon forget.
Say we were
Better than our bodies wre found.
And I saw her but, there she goes and there she goes
Her bright face, black smile, we can't change that...
So it's better if I don't
Say we were better than our bodies were found
Nobody likes, dust on him
And I saw her but, there she goes, and there she goes.
Her bright face, black smile, we can't change that.
Live it up, live it up
Or just come back home
Yeah, cause these city lights
Are too much for you alone
But San Francisco sounds quite lovely
And so I'll just wait for your call
I promise, I promise and wholly lonely
So stay awake, and stay
I try and go, but your game
It waits for me and you, love
So cover up for the rain
You see way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
Cause we should know best
Now that you're gone
Cause I can't breathe
With these words on my tongue
But San Francisco still sounds lovely
Cause he swears he still loves you
He still loves you
Come, lonely
So stay awake, and stay
I try and go, but your game
It waits for me and you, love
So cover up for the rain
You see way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
But you're still keeping me sane
It's still in the way and I think
That nobody's watching
Yeah, nobody's watching me and
It's still in the way that I think
Cause nobody's watching
Yeah, nobody's watching me and
It's still in the way that I think
Cause nobody's watching
Yeah, nobody's watching
The rain
You see way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
But you're still keeping me sane
The rain
You see way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
Tell me how I finally figured it out,
That now you're caught in the things
You said you'd never do.
And now its starting to show
Like her skin fell out out of her clothes,
She's got a list of moves to make.
Stay for me,
Because it was the first.
Yeah it was the...
Stay on me.
Take your time lighting the room.
When all is said and done
I bet you're covering.
Is it a wonder you're lonely,
Taking chances to feel again.
I bet you never knew,
I bet you never.
Stay for me,
Because it was the first.
Yeah it was the...
Stay on me.
Suddenly, a cloud must have cut a hole in my head,
When i was tangled all in your words.
How quick to forget,
We are,
With eyes unimpressed
You're sealing the conversations.
And are you wondering how things could be?
Just staring at the surface,
When all the walls have tendencies.
But it's not your fault when no one taught you how.
And now the one you once loved is leaving.
You're so sure that I'd be just fine here.
Liar,
You never called.
But I'll be just fine, yeah I'm fine,
Sleep well.
This never made much sense to me
So I sleep alone.
Cause you are the same as I always remembered,
I'll always remember.
Where was all your money.
You said, where is all your money.
You like it more than ever,
And I can not stand this.
Because you like it more than ever.
It was just a god damn mistake.
Stay at home,
Because you're way to good at faking.
Love is too much,
I'll be just fine here.
Stay at home,
Because it's always the same.
Darling you fucked up.
I guess I love to spend all my time up in my own brain.
Because I can believe the words coming up out of your face.
Where was all your money.
You said, where is all your money.
You like it more than ever,
And I can not stand this.
Because you like it more than ever.
I guess they all knew.
Somebody draw the sun.
Those states made me distant.
Tell me it's always, better.
Well I can't believe you're still in the valley,
Wasting away.
I guess they got the best of me,
And got your all.
Well I saw you fall back once love.
But I can't stay.
Stay like this weather swirls,
Cause you've become sick like this winter girl.
Two more days, just two more.
Now I see.
Don't you say that I've gone crazy.
Because I haven't gone crazy yet.
I just lost my mind,
But I still got you.
Stay up late so you're sure.
Sure that I wont stray too far,
But surely that got too hard.
Love is not for me,
I promise.
One more day, just one more.
I'd Stay If I ever could,
Stay if I ever could.
And pick up your pieces babe,
Can we take the streets? Cause there's a horrible crash.
Standing on the highway, a girl and her dad.
You say yea, it's far too much for me,
Far too fast of scenery but your voice,
And your lips are moving words that I cannot breach the noise.
Just remember always move fast.
We know you, we own you.
Go home and leave me at the door or we can stay outside of your house
And just wait for the morning.
I heard you can't stay too long the morning's got you worried.
Because the sun holds a sea of troubles and an early drive away.
So I guess I'll just stay for a while I guess you knew just from how I smiled.
Because there's no hurry more like fucking nursery I'm a beautiful child.
Just remember always move fast.
We know you, we own you.
Go home and leave me at the door or we can stay outside of your house
And just wait for the morning.
I've seen your sadness grow.
And it swallows these days until it hurts to breathe.
She whispers, thanks for your time tonight,
But you are not awake yet you are not awake I swear.
She screams, it's all been in your dream with nothing tangible.
The girl, this house, the highway, your mind made it real.
All I see scares me
No one waits...
You will never waste my time, no, no
You will never waste my time, 'cause...
She locks all the doors and turns, says,
"We will always be safe here in this bed"
All I see scares me, and no one waits forever
So come closer, baby
I want to see what you're made of
See what you're made of
'Cause this isn't all we could be
You're not the same, and I'm
I'm not the same
No one could ever wait for you
And no one, yeah, no one could ever
Wait for you, I'll wait for you
But you are the never ending sleep
That I love to treat with this medicine
I get from my, my closer friends
But all I see
So come closer, baby
I want to see what you're made of
See what you're made of
'Cause this isn't all we could be
You're not the same, and I'm
It's just, it's just
I can't seem to fall asleep these days
And you can't seem to stop digging this grave
'Cause you were only eighteen at the time
And I was holding up these streets just fine
Come on, oh, come on
Place me on your scene and lie fate
Well everything that you ever said to me
No, it wasn't just words
(No, it wasn't just words)
But day after day after day I called out fate
Oh, darling I've been thinking about you
And you are thinking how much farther it was
It's filling up our lives
Don't you just see what's happened?
That we never stay away, come on
Place me on your scene and lie fate
Well everything that you ever said to me
No, it wasn't just words
(No, it wasn't just words)
But day after day after day I called out
(I can barely see the...)
Place me on your scene and lie fate
Staring at the scenery, wait 'til, just wait 'til
Well everything that you ever said to me
No, it wasn't just words
(No, it wasn't just words)
(Staring at the scenery)
Day after day after day I called out
(I can barely see the...)
Place me on your scene and lie fate
(Staring at the scenery)
Well everything that you ever said to me
No, it wasn't just words
(No, it wasn't just words)
(Staring at the scenery)
You empty out your stomach,
so everyone can see that you are as black as the basement,
and just as wicked as me.
But my God, what a mess I've made,
My God, what a mess I made.
You stare in a way I once thought was stunning,
Oh but I will try, try and fake it.
You changed back into your clothes, while I was thinking.
My body is sick, yeah, it never stops breathing
I'm sure I know what you're going through-
Yeah, I call it vanity.
(The world is yours, so take it.)
Vanity
(I lost my mouth, can you speak for me?)
You stare in a way I once thought was stunning
Oh but I will try, try and fake it.
It's all in a way your words will come out now,
'Cause I can't seem to doubt you.
Vanity
(The world is yours, so take it.)
Vanity
I've got to say this one time so she feels it. If she
Runs back up that coast then I guess I'll believe it.
So run, spit those words with your tongue. Shout
Them back at the sun. I know you too well for this
Shit. On my way home, still wishing I was inside your bedroom.
Talking shit for the hell of it. All of
The best nights, so hurry up. God damn this just
Feels right. It kind of feels like it was never the
Same like we claimed it. If you've got to go then
Go, I couldn't change it. I never would have wished
For this girl to be out of my world. It's one mistake
I would never change. I want it all now I want it my
Way. She knows how I work, how I run, my insides.
I will second guess everything about me. You're the
Only one that could see how fucking crazy I was
All that I say, you take as holy, now the world is watching,
You've been waiting for words to take and,
Now it's the world watching.
I can't seem to kill my assailants.
They keep changing faces.
Can I be honest, sing you a sonnet?
You're not the world baby
Where I'm going,
I'll speak it slow, and, all of this world you're with me,
I must be sleeping it all off, just like you had promised.
I can't seem to kill my assailants, no, no
They're changing faces
You're not the world baby, I'll be fine
Come morning
I will be sleeping it off,
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my
opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like the
restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love,
which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
So I know nothing of your taste
And now speak up, louder.
It's in your lips, I found.
Come on, just press against me
I finally have your attention,
So listen closer, sweetheart.
I've been trying to tell you, stay awake.
And no, no, when we're safe here
Come back, come back
You stayed always.
Stay with me here
Stay with me and watch these cars go by
And tell me the first thing that comes to your mind
So watch as I go back
I just came to say that you'll never see me again
This clock is ours now, till morning
So stay right there in that frame
This picture is how we see you
You'll never see me again,
Cause I'll miss you already
And being that you haven't seen me
I don't belong in anything you dream,
In anything you dream
She said "Put your hands back on my
Skin and say you loved me,
Cause I can't live like you do.
Never could."
Come on, just press against me.
You always have my attention,
And please speak up louder.
Make those lips move.
Come back on the weekend forever
Cause you don't mean to shake like...
Come back on the weekend forever
Cause you don't mean to...
Stay with me and I will try to tell you
Stay with me and I will try to tell you
So watch as I go back
I just came to say that you'll never see me again
This talk is all smack, and tell me more
So stay right there in that frame
This picture is how we see you
You'll never see me again,
Stay awake, let's never speak of this again
'Cause nobody saw her,
It just seemed so strange to me
(I don't)
Don't be so strange
('Cause I liked it, I liked it here)
Don't be so sad
'Cause I still haven't won
If my lungs break
If my heart beats because no, we never saw
And I still believe you're close to me
I'm sorry, I just can't be afraid
And don't be so hard on yourself now
'Cause as much in the way we're speaking,
It's all over your teeth
Stay awake, let's never speak of this again
'Cause nobody saw her,
It just seemed so strange to me
(I don't)
Don't be so strange
('Cause I liked it, I liked it here)
Don't be so sad
'Cause we finally hit the crown, let's run free
If my lungs break
If my heart beats
Because no, we never saw you again
Much of this is the way we speak
And I still believe you're close to me
I'm sorry, I just can't be afraid
And don't be so hard on yourself now
'Cause as much in the way we're speaking,
Baby just ask once more
'Cause I saw your door wide open,
But the floor is still freezing.
Hailey, I was sick and I'm still quite unwell.
Tell me it's you or nothing at all.
'Cause I stole your soul
You said I'd never be able
But oh, the whole world is still on my string
Second time now and you've done this before
Drive around the back so I can't see them,
But you're still freezing.
Let me take your coat and your keys and this car,
'Cause I’ve been unwell far too long now.
'Cause I stole your soul
You said I’d never be able
But oh, the whole world is still on my string, oh
But oh, the whole world is still on my string
And oh, the whole world is still on my string,
Yeah, is still on my string
Once because we always were there.
I'm impressed you've never seemed so scared,
And you still don't know.
But I found comfort in this bottle and you out of site,
Out of mind and nowhere close to being,
Sober straight I've seen that look in me.
Don't ever let me see those words on your lips,
It's just me,it's just me.
So yeah yeah well now it's peace in the form of a dove.
And yeah yeah it's peace and love or just whatever goes down,
Easily, consuming our bodies; it's your fight this night.
What the hell's it to me, you still are what I think.
Keep those pictures around just to stay awake.
And we wait for winter, but no we wait forever.
It was desire represented by a ring with an angel,
I stayed until you fell asleep, but yeah you fell for me.
And lost the ring so I hope there's still
A piece of me upon your bedroom floor.
Where you curl up at night,
This nicotine is your air.
Stay to the face but feelings go over your head.
Once the sleep comes it's over.
So both of us saw what it was,
Everything you were every time.
A favorite of my dreams,
You've seen all that is me.
So sure you should take that,
It's one more mile, just the same.
Some say that, kings fall from grace.
So now we sit like kings amongst this,
Crowd, is gone so speak to me.
Some nights she still charms her way out
I'm begging for your hand, screaming at your face. Come with me kid we'll leave this place. I'm all yours because I hate this house and how sad it makes you in the morning, that I'm hoping will never come. I just want to watch this sky and some, stars, are out I do believe. And this winter came I think we made it through the freeze. Someday we'll drive away. And we'll cut up my face because it's too plain. You are this! I swear it's this town I'll never see again. If I have my way and time, to just sing. I swear this town I will not see. Anything but silence, anything you say will stay in my head for days and days. But I'm sorry we couldn't make it back this evening. I'm still hoping. We have to move or so it seems. I guess the hospitals are near because I can hear those screams, and you breathing over me. Well ha ha, ha, ha ha, I tricked you once again but I promise someday we'll drive away. And we'll cut up my face because it's too plain. You are this! Well it's here, with your expensive taste that we should have framed this place. And kept it in your shelf. Next to you big city dreams. It's in your touch it seems. But you wear that on your sleeve, and all the thoughts that make you bleed. So go ahead kid we loved it. Sing it loud before the lights hit, and we are forced to move. With your window up we can keep the light out.
You start to scream, like we're making a scene
I must remind you this is, not a movie
You couldn't help but play the queen
You left them, all at your feet
I've come to believe it, I've come to believe it
It's like my mouth opened over the pavement
But fake as you can, tell them all why you started this panic
You were a ghost, from late October
I will be one come summer
I saw this world like a paper
And you could not ever stay here
Now I believe it, now I believe it
It's like my mouth opened over the pavement
and how could you think I, I wouldn't know this?
Speak quite a storm, with a small mouth
and I barely sleep in my, in my own house.
Stare, stare at me and I, and I might transform
All hail the queen still,
I've never seen a witch this mean.
Speak quite a storm, with a small mouth
and I barely sleep in my, in my own house.
So I've been sleeping with this silence in my mind
And all I see scares me
And no one knows it, but she, she saved me
So I've been sleeping with this silence in my brain
Awakening here everyday in this god damn place
I won't wait here anymore
It's still not quite the way it was
But you promised me this is love to stay
Watch the hospital that's
Just across the street
From your apartment balcony
I'll never ever leave there
I'll never leave
Oh, no one is watching now
Sing like you just might drown
But always come back here
'Cause I never got to see you once more, no
I guess that's all I wanted
Yeah, I guess that's all I needed
Now look, you've made a fool out of love
When all we want is to be enough
When all we want is to feel enough
It's still not quite the way it was
But you promised me this is love to stay
Watch the hospital that's just across the street
From your apartment balcony
I'll never ever leave there
I'll never leave
Watch the hospital that's just across the street
(It's still not quite the way it was)
From your apartment balcony
(But you promised me this is love to stay)
I'll never ever leave there
I won't wait for...anymore, I won't wait for words, it's under to yourself, now I'm so so gone. Trains take me so far. But only in my brain and that's fine with me. Circle around get yourself a better look, a better memory. File down these streets lined with fools and luxury. Love me, love me this is how I'm forced to live, but I don't want to live like this. He is the best now, she's under pressure, these nights will go so quietly.
(I won't wait for anymore words.)
It's under to yourself
And now I'm so so gone.
It's under to yourself
And now I'm so so gone.
Well trains take me so far.
Well only in my brain and it's fine to me.
How come you do, you do this thing.
Well circle around and get yourself a better look
A better memory.
And you fall down, You do.
Well file down these streets
Lined with fools and luxury.
We've sinned our best
But nobody looked, yeah just
Love me, Love me
This is how I'm forced to live.
Well I don't wanna live like that.
No I don't wanna live knowing second words.
Well trains take me so far
Well only in my brain
And you do you do
I'll sing the words to you
Well circle around and get yourself a better look
A better memory
And you fall down the way you do
I'll file down these streets
Lined with fools and luxury
And we sinned but nobody looked,
Nobody looked, yeah
Love me, Love me
This is how I'm forced to live
I don't wanna live like that
I don't wanna live, knowing seconds words.
Do you
Expect me to seem free from your care
From your problems
He is the best now
She's under pressure
He is the best now
She's under pressure
I need a voice to hear
A hand to hold
A mind to be near
I need skin to touch
The scent of hair will mean so much
I need lips to kiss
The laughter of someone to miss
I need to wake up to the sound of you breathing
I need to comfort you
And let you cry when you have to
I need to kiss your tears
And let you be alone
But you don’t know what it’s like
But you don't know what it's like
I need to comfort
And to say that it will be OK
I want to feel the taste of tears in my mouth
I want to give away what I got
And get nothing back
Except for moments of you love me from the heart
I need to share what I got
Or else its not worth a lot
I want to pick up the phone
And apologise
But you don’t know what it’s like
But you don’t know what it’s like
I met a man whose mission was to
Crawl across the land
He called me lucky because of what I was made
Hey man take my shoes take my coat
And understand
I am a salesman and sorrow is my trade
I share what I got
But you don’t know what it’s like
I share what I got
But you don’t know what it’s like
I share what I got
But you don’t know what it’s like
I share what I got
But you don’t know what it’s like
I share what I got
But you don’t know what it’s like
I share what I got
But you don’t know what it’s like
I need to share what I got
Or else its not worth a lot
I want to pick up the phone
Oh, Lydia!
You're so sweet to me.
You opened up your own home to me and my friends. (ooh-
oooh-oooh)
You're giving me attention.
Oh, Lydia!
You're so good to me.
You took heed and you opened up your heart to me.
You were ready for it. (ooh-oooh-oooh)
You have such good intentions.
We was in a city on the other side of the sea.
We heard your call.
We hitched a ride for free to Macedonia.
We're having a party for you!
So be there.
Lord knows that you'll be there.
