(I got you stuck off the realness)
(I got you stuck off the realness)
It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely a little misty on
That warm November night
And my heart was pounding
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
And so we finished the Moet
And started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me
In your arms
(You took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
For such a long long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye

Funny how time slips away
Looking at the cracks creeping across across my face
I remember the little kid living in here
He'll be living in here probably until I'm dead
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me here
Sitting in a box away from the world out there
A world piled high with boxes just like this
But please don't ever leave me alone in here
Take me out shake of the dust, shake off the fear
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me here
If you stay with me that don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me baby you and me will change the game
Well I don't know the man that's living in my head
Till you reach down and bring the light back in
No I don't know the man that's living in my head
If I don't know the woman sleeping in my bed
Remember how we used to kiss baby
Kiss like it was everything
Remember how we used to love baby
Love like it was everything
If you stay with me that don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me baby you and me will change the game
You stay with me I'll follow you and we can start again
I only got a minute or two to spare
And I got a whole fuckin' life to fit in there
So I waste time, stare at the TV set
Like I got dreams to kill and people to forget
Remember how we used to kiss baby
Kiss like it was everything
Remember how we used to love baby
Love like it was everything
If you stay with me that don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me baby you and me can change the game
If you stay with me, that don't mean I wanna stay the same
[Breakdown]

Down here in the valley, every shadow You see
Has it's own story
Down here in the valley, every puddle of mud
Comes from tears and blood
And it's so hard just to get warm
That the chill turns into despair
Will You lift me up with tender care?
Will You wash me clean in the palm of Your hands?
Will You hold me close so I can thrive?
When You touch me, that's when I know I'm alive
Down here in the valley nothing's able to grow
'Cause the light's too low
Folks spend their days digging 'round for diamonds and gold
'Til they just get old
And they don't know anything else
They don't know they're breathing bad air
But I'm tired of living like this
And my soul cries out, "If You're there"
Will You lift me up with tender care?
Will You wash me clean in the palm of Your hands?
Lord hold me close so I can thrive?
When You touch me, that's when I know I'm alive
Call me up to Your side
Draw me up to Your light
Let it blind me, Lord, refine me
Refine me out of my mind
Will You lift me up with tender care?
Will You wash me clean in the palm of Your hands?
Lord hold me close so I can thrive?
When You touch me, that's when I know, I know I'm alive
Will You lift me up with tender care?
Will You wash me clean in the palm of Your hands?
Lord hold me close so I can thrive?
When You touch me, that's when I know I'm alive
Lord lift me up with tender care?
Will You wash me clean in the palm of Your hands?
Lord hold me close so I can thrive?

Pick a habit you can trust
We all need the reassurance
Blanket stretched across the window
A friend to walk you through it all
That could change if I was angry
But after all, it turns me on
It made all my good decisions; even helped me write this song
Back when I was young and clever
Traced a pattern in the wood
I thought I'd get my shit together
Now I know I never could
''cause it's a pornographic sunrise
Static curtains that draw on our lives
But we still thrive, through every time
But we still cry, through every dive
But we still try
Too old to apologize (X2)
We're too old to apologize (X2)
So pick a habit I can touch
Be as happy as you should be

Been fighting things that I can't see in
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
I've been awake for an hour or so
Checking for a pulse but I just don't know
Am I a man when I feel like a ghost?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive
I come alive when I hear you singing
But lately I haven't been hearing a thing and
I get the feeling that I'm in between
A machine and a man who only looks like me
I try and hide it and not let it show
But deep down inside me I just don't know
Am I a man when I feel like a hoax?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive
I'm always close but I'm never enough
I'm always in line but I'm never in love
I get so down but I won't give up
I get slowed down but I won't give up
Been fighting things that I can't see in
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I want to thrive not just survive

it's hot and I'm walking
I could use a lift, my baby strutts beside me
looking pretty swift, she said have no car
I'm just another stiff, well I'm driving something
better yeah I got my riff....
no way to go threw life
without you got no riff..
It's late, 10;30 , missed my morning call
my boss goes crazy if I go to work at all..
long term survival aint no clever trick ,
when facing big disaster just grab your mountain stick
no way to go through life with out you got no riff,
go on and strutt your stuff no matter what it is,
no way to go through life no,no without your RIFF
lets get it all together, wont you go my way
don't worry bout tommorrow, just another day
your shaking on the ladder, feet about to fall
your riff is all you need, your back against the wall..
no way to go through life with out you got no riff
go on strutt your stuff no matter what it is,
no way to go through life without you got no riff,
lay down some attitude,
yeah you got the gift....
no way to go through life without..you got no riff

We need to agree.
I have witnessed.
An abomination filling up the room.
Like I should have cared.
You know you've been here way too long.
Restore what has been done before the end.
Factor in the possibility of my life.
Give me the reasons to question the freedoms of life.
So I can survive.
Don't you ever go out of turn?
Do you ever listen to the answers?
Don't you ever see what's going on?
Restore what has been done before the end.
It will come down in time.
It's all on your side.
Show me what gives you strength.
We trusted you now how do we proceed?
Reaching out and receiving tranquility.
Are you feeling serene?
Though we thought it was all okay.
We don't warrant this covenant.
The agreement was thin and weak.
We need support you can't sustain.
You convinced me of everything.
But the words don't reflect my sentiment.
You could never hold on.

It's back to nature, boys.
It's back to town.
Back to where we grew up down.
Back to what comes natural to us,
like sucking up car exhaust.
Killing time and climbing of the roof.
This roof looks over everything.
We can look north, south or east, or west,
but never see anything.
I lose my mind, I lose control.
I take the stairs when I can take no more.
Killing time and climbing up the roof again.
So we stand there daring to jump off,
but stand still anyway.
The late summer wind zips right past us,
but we ain't going anywhere.
The sunset clouds look lovely, that's for sure.
But it's more fun watching bottles bust.
The rain feels cool, it might just clean us yet,
