So she washed her cut in the sink
And picked up an ulcer along the way
Down to the bay, where I did stay
I was nineteen
And so were we to be beating twenty
Without her clothes
She looked like a leper in the snow
I left her in the snow without her clothes
My movements were slow
Long, she didn't even know
What she was taking away
We didn't talk much
Oh, it must have shown
She must have known
The next day, she never called me again
The day after that, she gave me a call
She was all drunk
Her words came slow
Oh, I didn't even know what I had
Nineteen
Is not the age of reason.
I didn't have a reason
To setting you free
I've seen
A lot of love go sour
But that's not our love
You see the problem was
I was only nineteen
Yeah, I was only nineteen
Finished up with high school
Headed to a state school
Wandered into you
Big screen
Kissing in a movie
God, you moved me around
We got seriously down
But I was only nineteen
All I ever wanted to do
Was lie around in bed with you
I was only nineteen, I was only nineteen
I was only nineteen, I was only nineteen
I've seen
A lot of love go bad now
That's not how our affair
Would've wound up I swear
But I was only nineteen
All I ever wanted to do
Was lie around in bed with you
I was only nineteen, I was only nineteen
I was only nineteen, I was only nineteen
I was only nineteen, I was only nineteen
Not long ago, there was a time
When everything would blow my mind
Then I'd learn a bit more, learn a bit more
It canceled everything I learned before
Said, ?Hey, I don't know what I'm doing?
Should I plan on my class reunion?
I've been working on the vision of clarity
This is how it boils down to me
Well, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Is possible, is possible to me
Well, was nineteen, I thought I'd seen
Everything I was gonna see
Then I'd see a bit more, see a bit more
Canceled everything I'd seen before
Said, ?Hey, I thought I knew it all?
I was setting up for a hell of a fall
Writing down my philosophy songs
There's one that still holds strong
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Is possible, yeah, is possible to me
With everyday that goes by
The less and less, I wonder why
'Cause I've seen 'em rise and I've seen 'em fall
But I'll never claim to have seen it all
I said, ?Hey, I ain't seen a thing?
You never know what tomorrow will bring
Been working on a state of mind
Brace yourself for the ride
'Cause anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Is possible, is possible, is possible

Nineteen, the number on his back
Voted captain of the high school football team
Took us all the way to state
Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee
He could catch, he could throw, he could run
He could go like you've never seen
Nineteen but on the day those twin towers came down
His whole world turned around
He told 'em all I can't play ball
There's a war on now
He marched right in with a few good men
And joined the marines at nineteen
He's the boy next door
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store
He's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream at nineteen
There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a solider's down
We need someone who can duck and run and get him out some how
Want one good man, raise his hand and take one for the team
Well, how 'bout you nineteen?
He's the boy next door
He might've carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream, nineteen, nineteen
They brought him home today with a big parade
Down on main street
He got a purple heart and a silver star
A solider gave a speech
Said he could catch, he could throw
He could run, he's the one that rescued me
Could have played for Tennessee
A perfect 10,000-point landing
I barely even made it off the runway.
My engines they stalled and misfired
I steered myself into the sea
She just said “Kiss me goodbye, you jackass
Before I go back to Columbus
I’m sure that one day you’ll regret this”
And I sad “you’re probably right”
But the truth of the matter is: this world gets so big and it paralyzes me.
And she said “why do we have to go through this?
I’ll give you one more chance, you don’t have to do this.”
I said “I don’t have all the answers” and she said
“It seems like you already read the fucking book!”
So I’ll try to comfort you through this
And this ain’t no period, it’s an ellipsis
And she said “oh please, just cut the bullshit.
What happened to the person I know?”
Well believe me, he’s there but he’s buried under piles of uncertainty.
And I’m sorry for being so goddamn misleading
Cause deep down I know that you’re reeling
And I am too.
So kiss me goodbye, you jackass
Before I go back to Columbus
I’m sure that one day you’ll regret this
Seventeen when I was high, never dreamed that I would die
Could be that I was taken for a ride
I've seen it in your eyes, and I'm not nineteen no more
I feel it when I cry, and I'm not in a dream no more
and I feel that I'm alive and your bringing me back to life
and I feel that I'm alive and your bringing me back to life
I've never seen an angel cry, I've never seen an old man die
I've never fought in any war, I've never dreamed that dream before
I've seen it in the sky, and I'm not coming down no more
I kiss it all goodbye and I know it can be no more
and I feel that I'm alive and your bringing me back to life
and I feel that I'm alive and your bringing me back to life
I've seen an angel cry, I've never seen an old man die
I've never fought in any war, I've never dreamed that dream before
I've never seen an angel cry, I've never seen an old man die
I've never fought in any war, I've never dreamed that dream before
I wanna scream I wanna cry, I wanna take you on a ride
The fun and games are all long gone, so now the rose becomes a thorn
I wanna scream I wanna cry, I wanna live don't wanna die
I wear myself too thin,
Can't help myself this time.
I'm on the outside looking in,
Can't see myself this time.
Don't wanna go, don't wanna go, don't wanna drive back home.
There's nothing there for me.
It's 1am, it's 2am, it's 4 in the morning.
Did I think she'd be here?
Did I fool myself again?
I think I did.
I think I fooled myself again.
Again, again, again.
I fooled myself again.
If I spend just one,
Just one more night,
Just one more night,
Being mediocre then,
Just one more night,
Just one more night,
Well, I'll scream atop my lungs,
Just one more night,
Just one more night,
Being mediocre then,
Just one more night,
Just one more night,
Well, I'll scream atop my lungs, but it falls on deaf ears.
I wear myself too thin,

Well, I'll scream atop my lungs.
I scream out loud,
but no one hears a sound.
I take my life with lack of sleep.
I believe the things I feel,
The things I see are fooling only...
scream out loud,
but no one hears a sound.
I take my life with lack of sleep.

...And these days of august have raped our innocence.
And since when has depression become our only form of comedy.
The hours of the unreal become some of the loneliest we've ever known.
Prayers to an unknowing God seem to solace the feeble minded.
I have faith in our beliefs we have unfortunately stumbled upon truth.
And when the time comes our sacrifices will become meaningless.
You and your damn youth.
God forbid you think of others around you.
We're not the only ones with knives to our throats.
How can you possibly ignore this.
Or maybe that's been the reason all along.
I coult never understand.
I can see where it is we went wrong.
Halfway through your trip down the stairwell.
Or we not allowed to live on impulse anymore.
Ah bless the hybocrite and praise the violence.
Now if only I could find my matches.
your blood must be drained for the sacrifice.
Fill your veins with gasoline.
Oh the beauty of watching your pitiful corpse engulfed in flames. But i digress.
And when did it go sour we've never said these things before.
And why did you turn your back we never asked for anything more.
And when did our hearts ever poison your soul.
Your ignorance and intolerance has finally taken its toll.
Oh God please when will it end.
Punishment for an unspoken sin we cannot defend.
And these days of august have led to the foretold mourning.
Ancient sore oculi
Couldn't see the change
But blissful lights still happen
Through the darkest days
She strokes her hair
In the bathroom sink
It lost volume
It lost the will to give
I gave up
On falling asleep
As the hands began
To shove
Before you've even seen it
The old horizon's gone
Another recollection
Of the blind, deaf summer sun
But eyes are not the be all
And end all of the west
The east may hold a pair now
But maybe just address
The doubts you have
There's no great rush
To make this change
She showed some sense some time ago
When she was happy
She thought that this would make her happier
I've told you for the fifth time
I've told you for the twelfth
I'll give up just when you will
You better warn yourself
You'll get left back
In the cold and rain
And now and again
Balancing your roles
I see you get bogged down
And though you say, it's not good
Your life still lingers on
And so now, little gosling
Don't become a swan
I tried to be so special
And I thought, I was alone
I wanted to be special
But I failed us all
So please, now
Please just trust me
Your life still lingers on
And so now, little gosling
a thinking partthrough a window pane
i thought i'd find you holding glass and shooing flies
away
but you lowered me as i was lying heart first on the road
you left me gripping myself
nineteen
your hands were feeling warmth because they were lit and
left to burn off
gather hands and tie them to your arms
please drive further
the race is on
i figure nothing can stop me if i keep moving
so i leave my things to you
you grabbed my legs
and begged me to break it off
but your shoes were worn through
and your laces broke in half
eighteen
And what a strange place to be
Nineteen years of calling on and off uncertainty
And what a strange way to live
But I try I I try I try my best to give
I raise my voice I have a choice to take this photograph
Be still the present, past and future moments never last
Better times, in black and white, although they look so sad
But I try I try I try my best to give
But I try I try I try my best to live
And things don't seem the way they should
Please believe me, Please Believe me that they could
But I don't feel the way I know they think a person should
But I (I) Know I could
But I (I) Know I could
I'm wanting more, what I don't need, but still it makes me laugh
I wait in line, just to receive, but they don't let me have
The bread, the wine, we run we hide from things that make us mad
But I try I try my best to give
But I try I try my best to live
And things don't seem the way they should
Please believe me, Please Believe me That they could
But I don't feel the way I know they think a person should
But I (I) Know I could
But I (I) Know I could
A lonely road, I walk alone the one you never find
An empty road, I find a phone, I try, I drop a line
The only one that never fails me when I want to find
And I try I try my best to live
And I try I try my best to live
And I try I try my best to live
Seventeen when I was high, never dreamed that I would die
