Scratch out the negative
'Til I don't know what it is I'm seeing
And when history starts disappearing
Then it's time for some forgetting
And I'm good at forgetting you know
And we should have said goodbye
A long time ago
There was no crime committed
There was a band that split
And they were so remote
That no one even noticed
And they were good at forgetting you know
And they should have said goodbye
A long time ago
Is there always a ghost I should remember?
Is there always a heart I can't unsever?
Are there no new songs to be learnt?
It might not last
So we're gonna record everything
Trip the power on
And we'll set up our equipment
And we'll be there for that moment
When our world is transformed from night to dawn
It's an outside chance
That the light will be reflected
And our lives will be connected
In the same sphere, as we glance each other's eyes
Open up the mic
'Cos we're gonna record everything
This is a moving part
This is a big idea, just waiting to spark
Clank out those random parts
A kinetic freedom's reaching
Between the earth and the stars
My sister’s lover was like no other
Boyfriend she had ever had
His name was Susan
It was what he was using
That’s what my sister said
She was distracted
But she’s easy attracted
She was detached
Directing movies, you wrote your own scripts
you were a boom man and a camera grip
you pioneered it, yeah you dug your own graves
and built your own crosses
out of cardboard and nails
Down to the film set
saucers, spotters and flames
All you asked for
was a little acclaim
but what they gave you
unfair kind of fame
You hired cheap actors
but they gave you their best
and you stayed proud
and you believed in yourself
Down to the film set
saucers, plotters and planes
You left nothing to chance
T-t-truck t-t-trucker man
Going to a foreign land
Roads converging,paths emerging
T-t-truck t-t-trucker man
Moving down the motorway
Service stations, destinations
T-t-truck t-t-trucker man
Going through a foreign land
Girl hitchhikers, motorbikers
Train train, choo-choo-choo-choo train
Coming through the rushing rain
Lights are red, ???
Train train, choo-choo-choo-choo train
T-t-train, train on track
Level crossing, double crossing
Train train, choo-choo-choo train
Coming through the rushing rain
And you'll probably never stop me
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo tractor man
Driving up the agriculture land
Open spaces, nowhere places
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo tractor man
Jamming up the country roads
I can't wait to overtake
T-t-tractor mr farmer man
T-t-tractor mr farmer work
Roll in the hay and do it again
When I'm cruising along at a leisurly pace
Sometimes find I'm not too out of place
Now I've been up and I've been down
And I've seen the world absurd and round
Seems quite odd most of what goes on
But here I am so I must be wrong
We could drive there
arrive there
be alive there
but your truck's broke down
you're nowhere bound
will never leave this town
But if it won't be you
it probably won't be me
We capered burnt a
candle to the taper
tonight we'll swim in the river
kiss and shiver
were we ever inspired
just for a moment
or is this our life?
slackness in blackness
If that's the way we are
no trick, no coins, no stars
we need to stray
and find a gateway
Lifelong
feeling we're wrong
to still be hanging around
our old hunting ground
We could go far
thanking ours stars
that the viaduct broke
or we'd never have spoken
by now
can't you see I'm trying to tell you
we paid our dues
We could go far
thanking ours stars
that the viaduct broke
or we'd never have spoken
Lifelong
feeling we're wrong
to still be hanging around
our old hunting ground
The hits would be so nice
but they just don't come
when you want them
defeat, defeat
you don't want to hear
about a jazz musician
a jukebox and a river
I've been thinking it's not so clever
to hurt
I've been thinking
we never had
much luck
the needle sticks
the tape hiss switch
the hits don't hit
See them pass by yesterday
spit on your old photograph
and look away
the cruelty of blows
farewell shows
they were strange
and I felt sad
and I went down to
the range
Hitting balls, hitting
balls, hitting balls
on a golf range
The fall guy falls
no one calls it
run a two-bit orbituary
we are on, they are gone
and it seems so wrong
The hits hurt
the hits hurt
the hits hurt
Hey kid you better shape up
It may be winter time
But baby it's super fine
You may be near or far
Finding a way to really get to me
Baby you know you are getting close to my heart
Your self is my best side
My hope my faith and my guiding light
Your love is super fine
And it feels good in my heart
And I hope that I'm a part of you
So good to know you
So good to hold you
Thank you for being you
It's so good to know you
Empires may fall apart
And rivers may part
And though you have won my heart
It feels good from the start
And I hope that I'm a part of you
So good to love you
So good to know you
Thank you for being you
It's so good to love you
You really make my day
Make each day seem like a special day
I love your way
Oh won't you stay?
So good to know you
So good to hold you
Thank you for being you
Rough riders in button downs
when they smiled it was sincere
and they frowned
outsider european school
to me that's cool and absolute
were they closer to the truth?
the concept is so loose
but when I think of them
I think of you
I'm always in the world with you
From a friend to a friend
look into my camera lens
see how the picture bends
If every moment
that defined our lives
was signaled with a single harbour light
the colour flurry
could not hurry
the timelessness I feel
when we're together
no blind to these
shoddy shoddy times
I just want to linger
in those lights
cause when I see them
I think of think of you
I'm always in the world with you
From a friend to a friend
look into my camera lens
see how the picture bends
From a friend to a friend
does a journey ever end?
And what did we intend?
Are we leaving
I was born in the middle of nowhere
And since that day I’ve been suffocating
Tell myself this dump trod on me
Anticipating and waiting and waiting
But oh I feel so lonely
Gonna make my way down to the bus station
Wanna ride
And everything’s in site
Just wanna ride
Wanna ride
I tell myself this dump’s trod on me
But still I keep on suffocating
It’s a desperate situation
I’ve wanted and wanted and wanted
Hoping and praying
But still I feel so lonely
Gonna make my way down to the bus station
Wanna ride
Everything’s in site
Just wanna ride
Wanna ride
I’m choking
My humour is gone
This trouble
Goes on forever
Sitting here
Desperate situation
Wait and smile
Wind and snow
Not got much time
They don’t like me
Don’t like them either
Take your shoes off
step this way
to the waterfall and back
catch your breath
along the way
watching insects
inch their way
And when the day
is done
we'll ride in to
the milky sun
Both of us here
a whim the air is all
Drawing circles
venture softly
we're there
in a moment
there'll be moments
to share
Looking from your
dark window
do you miss the city flow?
Sometimes at night
a swim a whim cath fire
press your face
against the glass
soon a hundred years
will pass
open the door
make up for times missing
found a need
I never knew
I can't imagine
passing through
Both of us here
and your unknowing smile
unrolling unknowning
we're there
in a moment
there'll be moments
Take my hand and take my heart
I shiver when you're near
Deliver me from everything that drives me, oh my dear
Accelerate your pain
White knuckles on the ????
Shut your mouth, let's move on out of here
Just try and keep it light
Or someone may get hurt tonight
Don't talk that way, don't talk that way, don't talk that way
Hold it there a second
Let me dump this stupid pride
I'm ready for you sweet-heart
Now my mind is open wide
Shut up and make it count
Your concentration paramount
Remember what was meant to be this year
The past is a disaster
And the future's coming faster now
What do you say we go and get a beer?
Simply nothing to be done
Oh tell me i'm the only one
Simply nothing to be done
Tell me I'm the only one
When i was young
I used to sing
I didn't care for anything
When i was young i used to sing
I didn't care for anything
Simply nothing to be done
My happiest memories are Mexico
When you didn't have to go
Why are you so far away?
Sleep down, sleep down, sleep and stay
How much gold is in a ton of dirt?
One whole dollar worth
And if we meet just one time in the year
Does that make me more or less dear?
I don't want you always just my guest
Wrap in my Mexican blanket and rest
You are so sweet to love
But we're never never really together
You're my one the only dear to me
A thousand miles across the sea
You're not here, I'm not there
We're apart and I'm lonely
Let's do some truthful talking
Cause I'm getting tired of walking nowhere;
This framework doesn't work
Kick the dragon, nothing else I'm fired up truck
You're not here, I'm not there
In the morning you will breahte
and in the evening you'll believe
no more cramping in your style
no more dampening your smile
Oh her house is homemade
but she's leaving this island
oh, will you row
or with a sail and a wind
will you go?
Over the roadless land
your world curves towards me
you came sailing across
not relaying your loss
Oh I've waited so long
my childish writing
is stil there after all
east house to Norway
aeroplane through the rain
Oh her house is homemade
but she's leaving this island
oh, will you row
or with a sail and a wind
If you are feeling down
And want some reason to come around
You know it won’t be wrong
And you are upside down
If you begin at the end
Or halfway through or somewhere else
It makes some kind of sense
When you are my best friend
I’m alright with you
If you are inside outside
Some people might call you stupid
I don’t care what they said
When you are by my side
If you are back to front
And find your mind somewhat absent
You better hang on to what you got
It’s everything that I want
I’m alright with you
You know I’d cross the desert wastes for you
Watch the sun burn up the sky
You know I’d wait a thousand years for you
Pixelated pictures
moments without sound
will we all go down
will we all go down
isolated lives
and luminous lights
from the edge of a city
the patterns look so pretty
but you've seen it
one time too many
and don't know now
will we all go down?
will we all go down?
fragile for each other
and dying to discover
will we all go down?
will we all go down?
Will we all go down?
will we all go down?
strangers in a crowd
the music is so loud
dots joining up
lights lighting up
but it wouldn't be so bright
if you're not there
I'll pay your fare
I'll meet you there
will we all go down?
Everyone should have a friend
To share your life and your heart
It's not all you need
But you would bleed for them
Everyone gets hurt, everyone gets stuck
Everyone should have a friend
To lead and to follow
To open up to and to lose control
Someone to explore
The north pole, south pole
Exploration team
Soft core hard core
Polar extreme
And we'll be lost
And we'll be found
And we'll be bound
Penny parade, exotic Arcade
Swimming pool mansion
A family disgrace
Jack pot queen, slot machine
I don't want on
But I do want on
What have you got?
Tell me you're feeling so hot
'Cause I bet you anything you've got
That you will lose it
And I will lose it
Swimstar queen,
I am outside your scene
And I don't want in
But I do want in
What can I win?
Show me how to swim for the prize
When the prize is in your eyes
Everything I am is covered in you
You're my eyes for seeing through
Every mirror reverses through
Everything I see is you
I'm fake king, I'm faking
I am king to the queen of the pool
There's no rules, king of the fools
King of the worst, king of the cursed
King of the frown, upside down crown
Sticky melons juices flow
cycle paths broken glass
where did all our summers go?
boarded-up bars
dull neon stars
a logging lorry lost its way
guided by your sweet allure
tender tasting wanting more
only me that knows your there
don't sit in that empty chair
where do melted icebergs go?
barbon-dating beating time
electric cars
clashes on Mars
charm me with your hostess calm
lonely ripples wash the shore
lazy on the beat and sigh
promises on tips of tongues
make a place that no one knows
trickle sands between our toe
unlearn what we think we know
shield your eyes
wishful sighs
She comes walking down the road
And I know that dogs won't bark
She comes walking up the stairs
She's tap-tap-tapping on my door
And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must
But I go blind and my mouth fills up with dust
Says she's open like a book
She's got everything I need
Even wants to take the time
To teach me how to read
But the ceiling moves on down towards the floor
And soon there's only room enough for us to crawl
I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again
She comes walking down the road
With a kaftan in her hands
She comes walking up the stairs
She's tap-tap-tapping on my door
And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must
But I go blind and my bones start to rust
I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
Your feelings touch me so
I'm holding on cause I can't let go
Watching trains go down the tracks
I've got nowhere to go
Breaking lines and breaking time
Breaking down each other's minds
Breaking up and breaking free
And breaking back together then
I've cut you down but I cut myself
I wish I was someone else
Watching trains go down the track
I wish I was somewhere else
Breaking lines and breaking time
Breaking down each other's minds
Breaking up and breaking free
And breaking back together then
I want some help but there's no one there
That's the way it goes today
I watch trains go down the tracks
That's the way it went today.
Breaking lines and breaking time
Breaking down each other's minds
Breaking up and breaking free
And breaking back together then
Sometimes it comes, sometimes, sometimes I can't explain
Sometimes I connect and sometimes I miss
Sometimes it comes, sometimes, I can't explain
Been so long [been so long]
Since I held you tight [held you tight]
Been so long [been so long]
Since I kissed you goodnight,
The blues are mine
Been so long [been so long]
My hours seem like years [seem like years]
Been so long I shed precious tears
The blues are mine
I never,ever thought I`d fall
In love like this
I need your arms,
That warmth of your sweet kiss,oh,
Been so long [been so long]
I need you oh so bad [oh so bad]
Been so long [been so long]
My heart is sad
If I wish upon a star
Take you just the way you are
And if I do something for you
It’s everything I do for you
If you’re feeling down and out
Oh I want to make it right
If the love you feel is true
Please let me share it with you
If you wish upon a star
Take me just the way I am
And if I do something for you
It’s everything I do for you
If I’m feeling uptight
I want you to make it right
If the love I feel is true
Then I want to be with you
There is magic in her fingertips
There is magic in the lips I kiss
There is magic in her beautiful eyes
I don’t wanna go halfway across the globe
To find things that I don’t wanna know
I can seek for a long time through all that stuff
To find something that I don’t really care about
There’s not much about
But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
How can a smile just say it all?
I don’t wanna be what I cannot see
And it feels alright; you’ll in my heart remain
I walked through the door and I picked up my soul
But the keys were stolen and the door won’t open
No, it’s just my luck
But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
I guess I’ll just stay at home
I can’t describe this feeling
It hammers my brain
I can’t deny this feeling
It drives me insane
Always the same
But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
Automatically yours
It's midnight
round about here
there's a curfew
we'll kiss
and disappear
into a floating system
where there's nobody
listening just the air
when there's too much fuss
it comes right down to us
and I do declare
we got the flair
Tonight it seems to be our fate
to take a starlight ride through the cityscape
do you like it
when it's late?
Sometimes lives just come together
and in that moment everything else
is peripheral
and we won't have to
listen to those
tinny punks bitching
resing, resign
we've seen the sign
It's midnight
and I miss you
no, it's midnight
and I'll kiss you
from an emptying bar
to the serenity of the stars
I know where we are
Past the tennis courts
and the tree lined roads
where the streetlit leaves
sway in the breeze
sway with me on a
night like this
You know I don’t mean half the things I say
‘Cos if I did I wouldn’t say them
So please don’t take me too literally
‘Cos I’m afraid I’ll only get encouraged
But then you look at me
And I know I’ve let myself down
And I’ll go down
To the cold, hard ground
Where there’s no one else around
When I’m down
There are no easy words
To explain the way our lives charade
And though we seem to be at each other’s throats
That isn’t really the case
We’re just beginning to find out
What everything’s about
But you’re only half way there
Which is more or less the same as me
But in a different world
One of these days I’m gonna look at my address book
And you won’t be there
You know I don’t mean half the things I say
So just ignore the half that you don’t like
You know I don’t mean half the things I say
Truth shimmers like palaces in the sun
And your inventions will never be too far flung
Imagination's worthwhile taking
And gravitation, cause I don't want you to fall
I'll surprise you
Gliding through
I'll surprise you
Unbounded by languor or longitude
Everywhere is the centre of someone's world
Panorama getting calmer
Senses warmer
I don't want us to fall
We'll be true
Never blue
Time says nothing but I told you so
And laughs at all the foolish things we say
If I could tell you I would let you know
I'd let you know
It never says that you could stay awhile
In a place where you feel at home
And when it comes to moving on again
You just smile
'Til each ex-lover forgets your face
And the end has not justified the means
Nothing unexpected as you know
Just not so soon
And when it's time for us to go
Who remembers what we lost on the way?
Our intentions left forever more
If I could tell you I would let you know
See the sunshine split those buildings
And I'll feel my heart uplifting
'Cause the city casts a magic spell
And my life seems so special
Before I met you I always knew
Pretty soon you'd be marching through
To the beat of your favorite record
Making my life seem so special
And the music blew [unverified]
And our hearts just knew
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
Here comes a feeling closing in on me
Here comes a sound turning all our life around
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
When the tenement world reveals its charm
You better grab it fast with both your arms
There's really nothing to understand
Let's go and see our favorite band
Early evening cheer
Ringing loud and clear
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
Here comes a feeling closing in on me
Here comes a sound turning all our life around
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
Here comes a sound pulling everything around it
Here comes a feeling deep and soulful to me
Here comes a sound turning all our world around
Three boat rendezvous, sub-moonlight serenade
Respect is due to you for coming all this way
When the consensus was to wait and see
There's so much music that isn't free
And I wish that we could make it disappear
Shut some record companies down
Run some bands out of town
Shed light on a corporate situation
Consensus rock on the air
Using up all the electricity
And leaving us feeling empty
Float down boats of wood and metal
In the same direction on the same river
Sooner or later they'll arrive together
I know it won't let us down
But sometimes we've had to take a long way round
To a coolport, coolport
Sooner or later we'll arrive together
Coolport, coolport
Sooner or later we'll arrive together
Aircraft buzz, airport lights
Are we closer to the world at night?
The city scape is neon draped
It's so late, are you awake?
Secret watchers of the world
Follow flightpaths to each other
There's so much air when you're not there
The sky is free, think of me
Night time heavy breathing
Feel your senses reeling
Hear my heart beating
I can't twist
Those landmarks that you've missed
When your life is such a social whirl
I am still
I can't stand
Those basement scams you plan
Can't say that you're heart won't land
When it will
Your guitar is lying broke
Your friends think it's all a joke
Rundown glam, basement scam
I can't stand
Those basement scams you plan
Can't say that you're heart won't land
When it will
You drove an old sports car
Maybe thought that you would break some hearts
Seems mad, basement scam
Rug is keen and seaweed queen
My eyes are green my mind's serene
Recommend it hurry and send it
This is day twenty eight
Now, I've started token collecting
Firth descending hearts for mending
Shell hoards and gold loads
Downward looking flower
Every hour there's a sky
Unearth the sea discover me
Your mind is clear your life is real
Serpentine shaped shallow mine
A liquid pool a secret sign
Now, I've started token collecting
Firth descending hearts for mending
Shell hoards and gold loads
Thanking without asking
He slapped you right across the face. Then, he told you he was on your side. Now you know.
He said he'd teach you right from wrong. Then, he told you he was always right. Well, now you know. Now you know.
So whisper, whisper in his ear. Tell him things he wants to hear. Know he'll never need you. No, he won't.
So whisper, whisper in his ear. Tell him things he wants to hear. He said he'd teach your right from wrong. Then, he told you he was always right. Well, now you know.
So, say 'no' just run you think the day is done. Know he'll never love you. No, he won't. So don't you wait and see. No, don't wait and see.
So whisper, whisper in his ear. Tell him things he wants to hear. Know he'll never need you. No, he won't. (Know he'll never need you. No, he won't.)
So whisper, whisper in his ear. Tell him things he wants to hear. Oh, no.
And as I say, "Don't worry," you turn around and look the other way. Why can't you explain you don't believe a word I say? And when she said she'd leave you, I never thought that she would mean for me. Despite of what she needs, try not to turn your back on me.
'Cause you know I'm on your side. (I know the truth is always blind to you.) Don't tell me you feel fine. I know it's just the jealous mind.
I know I'm on your side. The things she said are not quite what they seemed. So let me dry your eyes. I know you're not afraid to cry.
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh.
And when you said, "Don't worry," I turned around and looked the other way. I wish I could explain I don't believe a word you say. You knew she'd always need me, and never was my favorite point of view. Despite of what you knew, I'm not born to believe the truth.
You know I'm on your side. (I know, but truth is always blind to me.) Don't tell me you feel fine. I know it's just the jealous mind.
Hey little sister, won't you tell me your name? I've got an issue and have no one to blame. She had a habit of just happening to me, you see. Left me alone for days, not even a call, only to pretend she didn't know me at all. Things have a habit of just happening to me, you see.
But when I close my eyes, I think about her. She just hides, I know.
All I wanted a friend of mine. I just wanna talk. You never wanna know. You never wanna sit around some more.
All I wanted was some time to save. I wanna stay by your side. You never wanna know. No, you never wanna. You just run away and hide, and hide.
Misery loves company when company's a drink. Sitting here talking to you makes me think. Maybe what I really need is sitting in front of me.
Hey little sister, won't you tell me your name? (Hey, little sister.) I've got an issue and have no one to blame. (Sounds like I miss her.) She had a habit of just happening to me. Do you see? (Do you see?)
But when I close my eyes, I think about her. She just hides, I know.
So, I wanted a friend of mine. I just wanna talk. (I just wanna talk.) You never wanna know. (No, you never wanna.) You never wanna sit around some more.
All I wanted was some time to save. I wanna stay by your side. You never wanna know. No, you never wanna. You just run away, run away and hide.
I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. I wanna hold you, but I notice that I never will. I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. I wanna hold you, but I notice that I never will.
So, baby, go where you wanna go, but don't leave me here lonely on my own. Baby, though, if you ever go, then I'll leave a key right below the door.
Woah, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. I wanna hold you, but I notice that I never will. I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. I wanna hold you, but I notice that I never will. I wanna love you, but you can't stand still.
I'll let you do what you wanna do if the thing you want include me and you. Oh baby, though, I'll be on my own if you're running form the people you used to call.
Woah, oh oh oh oh.
I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. I wanna hold you, but I notice that I never will. I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. I wanna hold you, but I notice that I never will.
I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. Wanna hold you. Notice you never will. I wanna love you, but you can't stand still. Wanna hold you. Wanna hold you so close.
I won't go, I won't stay
'Til you give me a taste
I wanna feel like that
Now I shake, and you sweat
And we'll dance, no let's sing
'Cause now I feel like that
Oh, tell me do you like that? (I think I like that)
Maybe we can stop this (I wish we never started)
Tell me what to do
I wanna feel okay
I got a problem and it drains my soul
Don't tell, nobody knows
I used to feel all right, now I'm u-u-u-uptight
'Cause the white night, oh oh
The white night, woah
White night for me
It's a long way down in New York City
And I fell so fast, it wasn't pretty
It's a long way down, but I wanna go
Oh, and I'm a systematic automatic city really misses at
All I really care about is knowing where my head is at
Oh, cause I'm a systematic automatic city really dizzy track
Oh, tell me do you like that? (I think I like that)
Maybe we can stop this (I wish we never started)
Tell me what to do
To make this go away
I got a problem and it drains my soul
Don't tell, nobody knows
I used to feel all right, now I'm u-u-u-uptight
'Cause the white night, oh oh
The white night, woah
White night for me

If the sun forgets to shine, can you just deal with candlelight for two? Oh, I hope that will do. So if your mockingbird don't sing, can you just love it for its wings? Please do. Oh, Stella, what could I do?
So when you asked me on the phone, "Can I just help myself?" (I can't help myself.) Stella, I lost my way.
So if you need to lay your head, then I can make room right beside my bed. Do you mind the floor instead? So as your mocking bird takes flight, the sun forgets to shine its light on you. Oh, Stella, what could I do?
And if you need me, you know I'll run, run, run. (Stella, you're on your own. Stella, you're on your own.) When you know I'm leavin', baby, you'll know I'm gone, gone, go-gone, gone, gone. (Stella, you're on your own. Stella, you're on your own.) And in the evening, you're gonna think I'm home but know you're alone.
All right Remember when I said I'd give you choices In all those different voices? I didn't mean it in that way You get inside my head And then you're alright out of bed So why don't you rip away bad thoughts? I thought you would
So we you run, run, run away Away from it all Because we've lost it all Oh, and we run, run, run away from it all Because we've lost it all Oh, let it roll now
I promised you the world and all its oceans But all I have are oceans Of keeping you inside all day Like joggling match sticks I think I burned my finger tips So why can't you wash away the pain? I thought you could
So then we run, run, run away Away from it all Because we've lost it all So then we've run, run, run away from it all Because we've lost it all Oh, we run, run, run away Away from it all Because we've lost it all Oh, no, we run, run, run away Away from it all Because we've lost it all Oh, yeah
All your little problems? Well, they're overblown. And you think I'll solve them? Well I can't, and I won't.
So won't you take me out tonight? 'Cause I think you'll just stay in and cry, and I'll feel better than you've ever felt before.
But you say, "People, they always get lost at night," and I was just looking for all, not right. So don't you come knockin' down my front door 'cause I fell asleep on the dancefloor tonight.
So I move so quickly, yet I fall behind. But when things get heavy, I tend to just make them light.
Oh, now I'll do anything I'm told to except anything that I won't do and that makes everything we've ever done before.
But you say, "People they always get lost at night," and I was just looking for all, not right. So don't you come knockin' down my front door 'cause I fell asleep on the dancefloor tonight. Woah, no.
Oh, I brought this girl into my house and then she told me to wait. Oh, I get so angry when they leave me to wait. She said, "The morning's almost here which means it's getting real late." I said, "Baby, don't you worry 'cause this song can just wait."
I said, "1, 2, 3." I just don't stop. You want to stop me in the middle. I want to stop from the top. I said, "1, 2, 3." I just don't stop for you.
'Cause I, I, I know it's over. Some things I just know 'cause I'm older. I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.
Oh, you wanna talk to me 'bout nothin'. Well, I wanna hear the radio. Alright, now when it's one o'clock it's time to listen down and low.
I said, "1, 2, 3." I just don't stop. You want to stop me in the middle. I want to stop from the top. I said, "4, 5, 6." You're callin' it quits. I said, "Baby, don't you stop me now -- I can't resist."
'Cause I, I, I know it's over. Some things I just know 'cause I'm older. I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.
And she goes, "Oh, oh oh oh oh oh." And I reply, "Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh."
'Cause we both can see I know it's over. Some things I just know 'cause I'm older. I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.
She, she, she was of the habit of telling lies. Giving up your body to older guys tends to put you out on your own. She, she, she was saying, "Please please me, me, me." Sometimes needs, needs go before the things that you want.
No one was asking her to stay. She went back home, but wasn't wanted too. Does that make you no one at all?
You never want her back. Maybe you should take her side for now. Oh, one day, she's not coming home.
Oh, no. She's not much different, not much different than when she came. Baby, you know her mother grew up in the same unfortunate way. She, she, she was staying on her knees. Won't you please, please, please tell her I'm not coming home? (I'm not coming home.)
No one was asking her to stay. She went back home, but wasn't wanted too. Does that make you no one?
You never want her back. Maybe you should take her side for now. Oh, one day, she's not coming home.
It doesn't matter to me. It shouldn't matter to you. You wanna love me, but you don't know how. Well, I can't stand the truth.
So now I'm goin', goin', goin'. I'll be goin' away from it all, and at the end of where I'm going will be the bottom of your feet, which is all that I want.
When you fell, I stayed where I stood. Now I'll try to build you up the way that I should.
Hold on, hold on. You know I was waiting for you to be strong, 'cause you know I'm wrong. Oh girl, I'm waiting for you just to be strong.
So there's twenty broken lights where you used to sleep, which means there's twenty things about you I'll never see. Oh, I can't tell you I'm gonna be fine. Did you really only love me half of the time?
So now I'm goin', goin', goin'. I'll be goin' away from it all. At the end of where I'm going will be the bottom of your feet, which is all that I want.
When you fell, I stayed where I stood. Now I'll try to build you up the way that I should.
Hold on, hold on. You know I was waiting for you to be strong, 'cause you know I'm wrong. Oh girl, I'm waiting for you just to be strong.
It doesn't matter to me. It shouldn't matter to you. You wanna love me, but you don't know how. Well, I can't stand the truth.
In the garden of my Eden I was taken by surprise when the girl that I'd been seeing was caught in disguise. Well I think I know, oh, why she would go.
On the first night that I met her, I could tell she was my type. Then, she told me that she'd kissed the lips of girls I'd liked. Well I think I know, oh, now why she would go.
'Cause I'm not the guy for you. Maybe a girl will do. It's too bad, too bad you were my type.
Your head was sure to pretend. You were the boy's best friend. Now you know, you know what it feels like. Yes, you know what it feels like.
Yes, I want you and I need you, is what you had always said. But the grass is always greener on another's bed. Well I think I know, oh, why she would go.
But when you speak so softly 'bout the girls you love, it kills me. I wanna know the names of every girl that takes you away. So, will you love me like that? (I will love you like that.) But I can try and act.
'Cause I'm not the guy for you. Maybe a girl will do. It's too bad, too bad you were my type.
