Now I could sit here and baffle you
With shallow babble
And a bunch of punch lines
You probably won't get
Or even use some big words
That you'd have to look up
But, I'm not a teacher
So go ahead and close your book up
I could tell a fairy tale so convincing
And keep a straight face from beginning
To happy ending
I could waste 32 bars telling you how to live
Knowing damn well I used mtv cribs for the blueprint
I could bore you to death with my past relationships
Or a little ditty bout Jack and Dianne
Or I could go back to childhood
Dig up them skeletons
And spit them at you with a catchy hook
Look, I could strike a nerve with some four letter words
That'll make Richard Pryor proud
Or better yet, I could sing a jingle that'll contort and mingle
Every single solitary letter in the alphabet
(I could tell you whatever you want to hear
But if I just said hello would you listen to me?
I could sell a blind man new ears
If I just said hello would you listen to me?
I'm trying hard trying to make it perfectly clear
But I'm dying because their aint nobody listening to me
Been relying on myself on myself for more than 22 years
And I aint crying I just need someone to listen to me
Can I get some reply get maybe some kind of sign
to let me know that you're listening to me?
Just from time to time I get lost in my mind
Its hard to find someone to listen to me
My ears were open when you needed some consoling
Now I'm hoping to hear something besides echos every time I say hello
I could talk about my duds
And my thrift store scores
But that probably wouldn't interest you
But why should it
I mean, I've seen a lot of shit in 22 years
But your feet in my shoes isn't something I recall
And I've been known to drink 22 beers
Before a show 'cause
otherwise I probably wouldn't have the balls
I could make references to books I never read
For the sake of sounding conscious
But, that's just obnoxious
I could take off these bandages and
Expose these papercuts
And put them in the air
with both my middle fingers up
or talk about myself in third person
like I'm better than you
'cause there's nothing else better to do
I could attack your character from
Eighty different angles
Cleverly explaining exactly how wack you are
But why do that when it's a well known fact
you buying this cd is potentially feeding me
(come on)
(I could tell you whatever you want to hear
But if I just said hello would you listen to me?

Been relying on myself on myself for more than 22 years

Hello, is there anybody out there?
Hello, is there anybody out there?
Hello, is there anybody out there?
Hello, is there anybody out there?

Like the leaf that sleeps through summer
We all drain the sun for dreams
Soon we'll fade from green to fire colors
As we spill to grasses green
I have realized I'll only be here for a while
Life comes and goes before you know
I have realized life's a blessing and a trial
You could come then go before you know
Why you're living this life
Do we have a hope?
(2X)
We all wonder why we wake each morning
As we breathe our nicotines
Are we here only to suffer aging?
Are we here to fall like leaves?
I have realized I'll only be here for a while
Life comes and goes before you know
I have realized life's a blessing and a trial
You could come then go before you know
Why you're living this life
Do we have a hope?
(4X)
I have realized I'll only be here for a while
Life comes and goes before you know
I have realized life's a blessing and a trial
You could come then go before you know

Fly, I am trying to fly
To leave it all behind
You, You could heal my wounds
I have tried to leave it all behind
To leave it
You are the one
Who will keep me breathing
When all I have been
Is hurt by fairweather friends
Lies, the world is full of lies
To lead me on
I, I could fix my eyes
Maybe this time
I will fix my eyes on You
You are the one
Who will keep me breathing
When all I have been
Is hurt by fairweather friends
Maybe this time
I can fix my eyes
You are the one
Who will keep me breathing
When all I have been
Is hurt by fairweather friends
You are the one
Who will keep me breathing
When all I have been
Is hurt by fairweather friends
Fairweather friends
Fairweather friends

I'm tired of this
Do I exist?
I'm a ghost and
I've been pacing the halls
I'm tired of this
You remind me how
I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down
And it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
I'm tired and sick
I feel haunted
I remember
When I knew who I was
Before the fall
You remind me how
I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down
And it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
When I drown, save me
I'm sinking deep, save me
I'm sinking deep, save me
You remind me how
I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down
And it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Save me now

I've found a way to talk
I've found a way to water down
The things that I have thought
Then in the end I always fall short
The morning has a voice
Calling out to me, come clean
To rise and have a choice
But I'd rather regret to see what night brings
Torn between
Your separated arms or staying in the dark
So coming clean
I make it seem so hard but still I've gone
Still I've gone too far
You gave to me a choice
You showed me how to lay it down
And find that quiet voice
When everything pounds to beat through my veins
Torn between
Your separated arms or staying in the dark
So coming clean
I make it seem so hard but still I've gone
Still I've gone too far
I'll fight the feeling down
To fight the feeling down
I'll fight the feeling down
To fight the feeling
Torn between
Your separated arms or staying in the dark
So coming clean
I make it seem so hard but still I've gone

The city remembers me and
I'm still alone
The skyline reminds me that I
Don't have a home
You've been there
Patiently
You've been there
Trust is a river
Moving, breaking
You move right through me
And I am waking
You have shown me truth through trust
The buildings are casting shadows
And blocking the sun
The city is stretched for miles and
I feel so small
The city remembers me and
I'm still alone
The clouds all surround me turning
My heart into stone
You've been there
Patiently
You've been there
Trust is a river
Moving, breaking
You move right through me
And I am waking
You have shown me truth
You have shown me truth
You have shown me truth through trust
So You know everything about me
And still You love me as I am
I can't change everything around me
But You can make me whole
(These buildings
This city
It's killing me too quickly
You've been there
Patiently
Writing a different story)
You've been there
Patiently
You've been there
Trust is a river
Moving, breaking
You move right through me
And I am waking
You have shown me truth
You have shown me truth

You called my name
I heard it echo days and days
But I still turned away from You
I've walked a thousand miles
But I won't change
I am over
Feeling like I am all alone
So meet me where I am
Just so I can begin
With You again
You call my name
A sound so sweet I can't erase
But still I hid away from You
Until that sound had drowned
Now I need change
I am over
Feeling like I am all alone
So meet me where I am
Just so I can begin
With You again
I can't deny that I'm lost, alone
And I need to deny who I've been
To begin
With You again
So meet me where I am
Just so I can begin
I am over
Feeling like I am all alone
So meet me where I am
Just so I can begin
With You again

Just as a bleeding wound dries
I found a road and left home
And as the mountain is high
I took Your tears and went on
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
And I'll change to see You
Remembering every disguise
I found a way to lead on
Just as my heart has run dry
With blood and bone, I miss home
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
Falling asleep again, falling asleep again
Falling asleep again
Just as a bleeding wound dries
I took your tears and went on
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
Falling asleep again, falling asleep again

Every word comes out
An understatement
Everyone tries to find a way to love
Everytime that I close my eyes, I
Drift away like the Santiam River
Every heart goes back to its home
And it's strange to need You
As a spring love trades for june bugs
Is it vain to leave You again?
Any script written
Could not contain You
True love's not like it's played in a movie
When I close my eyes, I feel You with me
'Cause You bled for a love that is holy
Every heart goes back to its home
And it's strange to need You
As a spring love trades for june bugs
Is it vain to leave You again?
There the river runs beneath
There the river runs beneath
And as it runs, so I will leave
There the river runs beneath
There the river runs beneath (to need You)
There the river runs beneath (to leave You)
And as it runs, so I will leave (to need You)

Oh, I could never have what I need without you
Oh, I could never know who I really am without you
I need something that I won't let me down
I know you are always there to break my fall
You're not that far from me, you're everywhere
You exist
Take my heart

Could You draw a line
Could You spread it across the sky
Could You separate the day from night
Could You draw a line
I am weak, speak to me
Speak to me, speak to me
And You'll know that I'll be listening
If there's secrets you can't tell me, tell me
And You'll know that I'll be listening
For a while
Would You give a sign
Would You make my thoughts be benign
Now I'm begging for some peace of mind
But the choice is mine
I am weak, speak to me
Speak to me, speak to me
And You'll know that I'll be listening
If there's secrets you can't tell me, tell me
And You'll know that I'll be listening
For a while
I'll pain my life with wings
I'll pain a road to return
I'll paint my life with wings
I'll paint a road to return
Return, a road to return
Speak to me, speak to me
And You'll know that I'll be listening
Be listening
Speak to me, speak to me
And You'll know that I'll be listening
If there's secrets you can't tell me, tell me
And You'll know that I'll be listening

You're everywhere I see
From molecules to trees
And when you're far from me
The earth falls to its knees
Everything falls apart
When you're not here
Everything falls apart
I need to say I need You
You're in the air I breathe
You're moving energy
And like the river needs the sea
I need to be released
Everything falls apart
When you're not here
Everything falls apart
I need to say I need You
(2X)
I need to say I need You
(2X)
Everything falls apart
When you're not here
Everything falls apart

Tell me you'll wait outside while the sky is pouring gray
Tell me you'll need to relieve yourself of me as well
Help me to feel unashamed as I hang you up to dry
Try to believe that I need some time not someone else
Right now I can't control me
I don't wanna be the one that's holding
But fine if you would wait this out
Say to me you'll wait there forever
And never leave our love behind
Say, oh say you'll wait there, you'll be there
'Cause some day, love, I'll make you mine
Someday make you mine
And tell me you'll be alright if I put you on a shelf
Tell me that you need to wait for me, not someone else
Right now I can't control me
I don't wanna be the one that's holding
But fine if you would wait this out
Say to me you'll wait there forever
And never leave our love behind
Say, oh say you'll wait there, you'll be there
'Cause some day, love, I'll make you mine
Someday make you mine
And tell me you'll wait outside
Tell me you'll wait outside
Right now I can't control me
I don't wanna be the one that's holding
But fine if you would wait this out
And say to me you'll wait there forever
And never leave our love behind
Say, oh say you'll wait there, you'll be there
'Cause some day, love, I'll make you mine
Someday, love, I'll make you mine
Someday, love, I'll make you mine
Someday, love, I'll make you mine

When a world is in your arms
You try to pull it all apart
And keep the pieces not too far
We could wish upon a star
Or dream of kisses in the dark
But then we'd wake to find our hearts
I have whispered in the wind
And tried to force it all to fit
Into a lifeless silhouette
What the tree needs is the wind
And all a child wants is a kiss
To promise them that there's no mystery
We've got the motions down
And we all have the moon and the raining clouds
We need to realize that only love
Will show us what we all are living for
Beyond the moon and endless space
Could there be a final place?
To take us in with saving grace
Of the past that's far from dead
And all the times that I have bled
I've found that hope has always led, and shown me...
I've seen the face of God inside the setting sun
I've awoke in the dark to believe the things I've seen
