Had an uncle named Matthew
Was his fathers only boy
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
Was his mothers pride and joy
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky
All the stories that he told me
Back when I was just a lad
All the memories that he gave me
All the good times that he had
Growing up a Kansas farmboy
Life was mostly having fun
Riding on his Daddys shoulders
Behind a mule beneath the sun
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue is just a Kansas summer sky
Well, I guess there were some hard times
And I'm told some years were lean
They had a storm in forty-seven
A twister came and stripped them clean
He lost the farm and lost his family
He lost the wheat and lost his home
But he found the family Bible
Faith as solid as a stone
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky
So he came to live at our house
And he came to work the land
He came to ease my Daddys burden
And he came to be my friend
So, I wrote this down for Matthew
And it's for him the song is sung
Riding on his Daddy's shoulders
Behind a Mule beneath the sun
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue,was just a Kansas summer sky
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield

You went up and down inside my head
The way you smoke your cigarettes
The cut of your hair
I didn't want to get too far
I just sit alone going through your mail
You don't pick up bills
I didn't know that's who you are
And oooh
You don't know what you got until it all goes south
Somethin' about you that I can't get out of my head
You think you got it all 'til it all runs out
And I won't wake up
And I won't wake up
Tellin' myself that you're comin' around again
And I won't wake up
I still do all the things that we did before
Get through the day but I just feel so bored
I didn't want to get too far
I didn't know that's who you are
I just sit alone going through your mail
You don't pick up bills
You don't know what you got until it all goes south
And oooh
You think you got it all 'til it all runs out
And I won't wake up
Somethin' about you that I can't get out of my head
Tellin' myself that you're comin' around again
And I won't wake up
... it all runs out
You oooh
You don't know what you got until it all goes south
And oooh
You think you got it all 'til it all runs out
Somethin' about you that I can't get out of my head
And I won't wake up
And I won't wake up
Tellin' myself that you're comin' around again
Why you just get it through your head...
Your head...

wasn't i everything you thought i'd be
didn't we fly away on broken wings
weren't you there to taste the finer things
you throw them away...you forget about it
it's never over
the wind of summer brings you here
i can taste you in the air
did we recover...just to give it all away...to another undeserved
i wait for you
wasn't i everything you thought i'd be
didn't we fly away on broken wings
weren't you there to taste the finer things
you throw it away...you forget about it
don't forget about it
another reason to leave us...i don't want to hear
open ended and alone...i wait for you
please...lover don't erase the beauty...
turn around...come back to me
wasn't i everything you thought i'd be
didn't we fly away on broken wings
weren't you there to taste the finer things
you throw it away...you forget about it
don't forget about it

monsters on the shore are getting nearer
smoke and scream and fire
i don't remember when infection came into the healer
voices in my head say it's now or never
overboard...let me fall from the death and slumber
just pretend you're sailing, safely...throw me overboard
zombie heads on cold, plastic shoulders
faces only hide the brooding fear
overboard...let me fall...to the waters...catch me
come into me...floating, still...and safer, overboard
we're all so far away
we lie beneath the stars
no one ever told you...you're free
overboard...let me fall...from the death and slumber...
just pretend you'r sailing safely...
throw me overboard...
let me fall...to the waters...
catch me...come into me...
floating, still...and safer...
overboard

in your car...we could drive for a million miles
i don't even care about it
in my mind ...i'm seventeen, and we could leave it all behind
in your eyes...lying dreams to remind me of my favourite summer
we were just twenty-three, and we could leave it all behind
in your car
in your car...we could dream and scream out loud with the radio...

big cars...intro music rises
lights out...underneath disguises
we'd give anything to feel it
we are the ones...begging for more...haunted and living
and we're breathing...and we're dreaming
you smile...serving to remind me...
that when lights go out...you going to find me
you'll be the one...holding me close...reaching into me
and we're breathing...and we're dreaming
we are the ones...begging for more...can you feel it?

i don't wanna be an endless rollercoaster
because i don't want to bring you up and let you down
i know there's always something wrong with me
this paranoia freezes
circles...rolling over...run away from your embrace
your hands gently kill me...i would never be the same
you were always one to take away the madness,
and i would be the one to bring it back around
you saw the water crashing over me...
we stream around into these circles...
rolling over...run away from your embrace
your eyes see right through me...i would never be the same
circles...rolling over...i can feel them...run away

lying on the floor i wonder...were you just too afraid to show?
i guess we'll never know
to this distant ever-after...you didn't want to go
were we blinded by a reason?
watching days refuse to shine...to darkness from divine
such a pity for this lover...you left behind
i never wanted anybody else
i never needed you, i needed help
after the feeling's gone...so long, because it's over
not a healthy situation...push me over, hold me down
to see if i would drown
was i waiting for an answer i didn't want to know?
i never wanted anybody else
i never needed you, i needed help
after the feeling's gone...so long, because it's over
and like the lyrics to a song i sang to you before
you know it fades away
i never wanted anybody else
i never needed you, i needed help

a heavy heart with heavy eyes...i can feel you by my side
now, the one thing i desire has run away...to no surprise
we could have reached a thousand skies, and i'm still reaching for you
remember when it all began?
i touched your face...you touched me...and we believed in innocence
something you could bring to me
now that something in the past is coming back again...you'll see
where did you go?...what did it mean?
i try to remember you...it's hard to believe
the beauty if fading...and silence has ceased
where did you go?...bring it back to me
i saw the symptoms on your face...how i know you felt inside
was it a dream for me to think i could please you for a while?
it won't let me get away...and i don't want to leave if this is true
where did you go?...what did it mean?
i try to remember you...it's hard to believe
the beauty if fading...and silence has ceased
where did you go?...bring it back to me
i didn't mean to understand the feelings that you posed
i didn't mean to be a friend when you were all alone
i only wanted to be free...and maybe to believe you could love me
where did you go?...what did it mean?
i try to remember you...it's hard to believe
the beauty if fading...and silence has ceased
where did you go?...bring it back to me
i want to know, i want to see...i want to know because i believe
i feel the fire...i feel the shine...i want to feel your soul in mine
i want to feel...i want to touch...the part of you i need so much

i want to touch you
i want to feel your skin
i want to know what's there within and breathe it away
and we could be so....and we could be so nice
we could be so nice
and to the fire, the leaves entice...don't blow them away
you've got to tell me
you wanted this to be
sleeping eyes are open wide
you say...you're the one to blame
and we've been here too many times...but i want you still, the same
i want to know you...the simple, salacious
your undefiled and devious, insatiable ways
so look into these
so look into these eyes and never wonder if they'd lie
or lead you away to fearful places
sleeping eyes are open wide
you say you're the one thats changed
bring your mind down to the ground from your cloudy, starry place
i want to touch you
sleeping eyes are open wide
looking straight into your pain...and we've been here too many times
but i want you still the same

the morning comes and mornings fade away into the eve of what's to be
and breathing in the life
that's breathed from out the maker of the day
we see...the marred intentions all around us fall...
to pools of wings that never fly
so as we promise to redeem the lazing losses of the day...
we only pray that this time we'll see it turn around...we'll see it turn around
this time...dreams we'll realize
and who was i to walk away from you
and who were you to wonder why
for i could place a million faces on the shoulders of my pain...
and i do
but time continues on the broken road...
and treasures wait for those who find
among the thistles grow the promises unending souls desire...
and thoughts that maybe this time...
we'll see it turn around...we'll see it turn around
this time...dreams we'll realize
dark memories surrounding...will offer only fruits of darkness
into this daze we're thrown...but not to drown
this time we'll see it turn around...we'll see it turn around

make up your mind...because i need to know if you can see...
if you believe, or just don't know
this place is cold when the door's not closed...and like the winter
i must wait until it goes
and go it will...as i start to see that part of you i never knew was there in me
in the wonder...i will see you there, in the wonder
within these walls i built for me
and now you're tearing down the bricks so i can see...in the wonder
are you gonna save me?

there is no standing room for you
there is no better way to prove
just broken pieces of a broken vase that used to hold me
we breathe and blow another kiss
is there no better way to tiss
to break the bonds to breathe the innocence
a little baby cries
he tries to understand
this world that left him down
this one he left behind
I thought you were better but you
you didn't even know him
you didn't have the time
you didn't seem to mind
another building breaks
throwing everybody down
what were we hoping to become
we seemed so different from above
the sky would fall if only we'd opened up our eyes to see it
we breathe and blow another kiss
is there no better way to miss
to break the bonds to bring me innocence
I thought that you should know
your skin is cold like mine
I wanted you to stay
but you wanted me to go and so we say goodbye to
this ornamental moment
we didn't have the time we didn't seem to mind
another building breaks
throwing everybody down
this is the game we play
this is the life we save
and so we turn the page on another moment
you didn't have the time
you didn't seem to mind
another building breaks
throwing everybody down
this is the game we play
this is live we save

hold me through this darkest night...as the voices scream
speak into these eager eyes, words of peace and healing
shower me forever with you
we don't know we are...cut deep and bleeding
we'll crash like falling stars, to deepest dark...
and rolling over mind...waves to weaken
for years they told me it was me...innundate with fear
is it broken?...does it bleed?
staring through the window...will it swing away from me?
we don't know who we are...cut deep and bleeding
we'll sink within our hearts...to deepest dark...
and rolling over mind...will you reach me?
dance, you tell me, into paradise...but holding on is all i feel i do
you are everything to me
we don't know who we are...but there is peace
we'll shine among the stars...there'll be no dark
consumed within your fire...
