An arrest is the act of depriving a person of his or her liberty usually in relation to the purported investigation or prevention of crime and presenting (the arrestee) to a procedure as part of the criminal justice system. The term is Anglo-Norman in origin and is related to the French word arrêt, meaning "stop".
The word 'arrest' when used in its ordinary and natural sense, means the apprehension of a person or the deprivation of a person's liberty. The question whether the person is under arrest or not depends not on the legality of the arrest, but on whether the person has been deprived of personal liberty of movement. When used in the legal sense in the procedure connected with criminal offences, an arrest consists in the taking into custody of another person under authority empowered by law, to be held or detained to answer a criminal charge or to prevent the commission of a criminal or further offence. The essential elements to constitute an arrest in the above sense are that there must be an intent to arrest under the authority, accompanied by a seizure or detention of the person in the manner known to law, which is so understood by the person arrested

At the midnight hour you can feel the minutes fade
Licking wounds from yesterday, bracing for tomorrow's stage
I create these monsters, seems like every way I can
It's never my intention, but somehow it feels strangely planned
And this goes to show you
Ignorance is underrated, 'cause
I'd rather forget all about my past
Cruel how these moments never cease to last
And you could do better than this
If you refuse to hide
These monsters will subside
Story after story, squeezing fiction out of fact
Trying to face forward, but always looking back
Conjuring up danger when you know you're safe and sound
Once you start to question yourself, the road you take leads down, down
And this goes to show you
Ignorance is underrated
Rumors are flying through my ears
People are talking bout you
How youve been doing
What youve been like
Ever since you started this fight
I would be all for trying again
But I need to hear you admit
That you need me more
With each sleepless night
And that youre the one who started this fight
You say I lied to you
But you have no proof
You left me howling at the moon
Maybe youre tired of me
Or maybe you need some time
To release your fumes
Our friends down the hall
Knock on our door
They ask me if wed like to eat
I tell them, Thank you
For the invite,
But no because she started a fight.
She said I lied to her
But she has no proof
She left me howling at the moon
Maybe shes tired of me
Or maybe she needs some time
To release her fumes.
I dont know what she is looking for
All I can do is assume
And she calls me heartless
She even calls me trite
But shes the one who started
Youre the one who started
Youre the one who started
The tile in the kitchen is cracking
The stairs through the basement are sinking
Somebody told me I'm crazy
Thinking past the limits of thinking
The crevice in the ceiling is rusting
Who knows when it will cave in?
The image of a broken heart bursting
In the window that mirrors my skin
I am walking through this city
Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks
Every step that I'm taking
I fear I'm under attack
They're on to me
And I am scared to no end
Once I had the control
Rules were there to bend
But now they're on to me
And I don't know how to get out
The thought never crossed my mind
I've run out of time
The fire from the stove is blazing
Spreading throughout my home
I didn't know what I was risking
Living here all alone
I could go out to the country
And hide there among the mountains
But sooner or later I'd grow thirsty
And wish I could drink from the fountains
I am walking through this city
Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks
Every step that I'm taking
I fear I'm under attack
They're on to me
And I am scared to no end
Once I had the control
Rules were there to bend
But now they're on to me
And I don't know how to get out
The thought never crossed my mind
I am going inside
And right now you do not care
But that's where I will claim
You as my own
Like a missile launched
Like a vulture seeking dead
I will fly around
'Til I have flown into your heart
'Cause I want to break your heart
I want to be your muse
The one who can inspire like none before
There is more at stake
Than right now you comprehend
Like a budding flower
I will set fire to your heart
I'm going to burn your heart
I'm going to fan the flames
When you come back to your senses
Your heart overcomes your pride
I'll be here with an open mind
Here to break your fall from misery
You expect me to love just like you
Even though you won't admit that
You sink your teeth into something
You figure it'll come biting back
But I am not made to tag along
When everything seems wrong
And I still can breath when you are gone
When everything seems wrong to you
I don't know if we'd be better off
Living our own separate lives
Talking every once or twice
Whenever we need each other
I can't picture another arm around you
Wonder how I would react
Would I scream and shout in anger,
Or would I maintain some tact?
You know that you're my best friend
That kind of love will never run out
You know more about me than I know
Things I'd never dream of showing
But I can't change the way I'm feeling
And I'm not asking for miles of room
Just a little time to fill my tank up
Before I run on back to you
Gone just as fast as you entered
Gone like a dream as I'm waking up
Gone but it's just the beginning
There in your slight hesitation
And in the halt of your rush hour pace
Time took a second to offer
Lines of your smile I can still retrace
So many songs playing their way out
So many stories waiting to be played out
So many words tugging at the back of my tongue
Until next time, should there be one
Drawn to the voice down the hallway
Drawn to her eye as she turned to me
A nod as I throw in a quarter
A nod as her message has been received
So many songs playing their way out
So many stories waiting to be played out
So many words tugging at the back of my tongue
Until next time, should there be one
Yeah until next time, should there be one
Once in my life I saw you there
Once in my life maybe never again
I’m going down to the riverbank this morning
Way before the family is awake
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
And spill out all my troubles for everyone’s sake
You can’t have love when you never can surrender
I’ve been spreading around my anger like a plague
I’ve sailed this far with my boat on fire
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire
I will soak my soul
Let the river take control
Let the river take control
I know it’s not too late
To let go the weight
To let go the weight
The sun will rise and shine on me this morning
It will seep its way into my heart
And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years
And I’ll embrace wisdom that sun will impart
And with this heat burning inside me
I will warm all of the people that I love
In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds
I’ll light up their nights with every star I can find
I will soak my soul
Let the river take control
Let the river take control
I know it’s not too late
To let go the weight
A long day is winding down
The neighbors are arriving
The street noise is dying away
As they go into hiding
The mail says lots of things
I find no use in knowing
It sits, closed, atop the bin
your name, my address showing
But there?s a sunset
Over hope street
There?s a sunset
Over hope street
I want to wish
To wish you what you want
Most times it?s plain to see
You?re driving someone crazy
But then there are other ones
When someone just gets lazy
And there?s a sunset
Over hope street
There?s a sunset
Over hope street
I want you wish
To wish you what you want
There?s a sunset
Over hope street
There?s a sunset
Over hope street
But you are what
Yeah you are what I want
But you are what
Seven years since she drove this road
Seven year to see a life unfold
Always been doing what she’s been told
Little by little it is getting old
So slow
Time is ticking when we don’t know
So slow
But only as fast as our minds go
His body’s holding him prisoner
All the past is a cruel blur
Went in search of a familiar cure
Open the door to a stranger’s voice
Felt that he had no other choice
So slow
Time is ticking when we don’t know
So slow
But only as fast as our minds go
We grow
Hard and weary as the years show
Blood flows
Out of control, I’ve got to let it go
From here there is no going back
Secret keeper, legend has it you are good
If it's true, then I won't have to knock on wood
It's your calling, I am handing you the reigns so take control
Take the ransom, use however you see fit
Call your sidekick, wipe the sweat off and commit
It's your option, I am handing you the reigns so take me home
And if rain comes today
It better not keep us away
And if black turns to white
You tell them that we've got the right of way
In hot water, I will tread until we're through
Second guessing, can you turn the doubter true?
A gut reaction, I am handing you the reigns 'cause I don't know
And if rain comes today
It better not keep us away
And if black turns to white
You tell them that we've got the right
It's your calling, I am handing you the reigns so take me home
And if rain comes today
It better not keep us away
And if black turns to white
You tell them that we've got the right
And if rain comes today
I know it won't keep us away
'Cause we're leaving tonight
Out of college
Out of plans
In no hurry
To be a man
Call a friend
In California
And head West
Interstates
See the country
Ride the brake
In a cobalt
Honda Civic
With a faulty tape deck
In St. Louis
Summer heat
Sweating bullets
Pleather seats
Stop for cold beer
Conversation
She reminds you
You are young
Eager chicken
Not yet sprung
She reminds you
Of the reasons
Locked in a daydream
Your fire within me
For one fleeting moment before I return
Petals from your roses
Postcards and poses
Memories of a love we earned
I thought it would take more time to get past infatuation
But you crept into my soul, no more need for patien
I'll take you on
Baby love, pour me in, pour me in to your heart
Cause I don't want to feel like I'm missing, this love I have been given
In this space we share
Take all I have to spare
Just allow me to keep my ear a whisper away
For whenever the time should come
When your ready to move as one
I don't want to feel the slightest delay
Never again will the feeling arise of lonely desperation
No more meaning for an end, without separation
Come take me on
Rows
Of flailing light
Rip open eyes
Long closed
Crack,
The clamor of
The cranes above
She grows
Tall
And tenuous,
She rouses us
Below
One two
One two
Sore
And lazy-eyed
I wonder if
She knows
Of all
The victimized
Who don’t know where
They’ll go
One two
One two
One two
One two
When
She falls asleep
I wait for her
Reprise
And then
They drill her walls
On our way
To the glacier
Star-lit sky
And mist-covered wind
When dawn arrives
To paint the mountains
The sun will reign
And the melt will begin
Miles of ice
Once unyielding
Surrender into a
Sea of unrest
The earth below
Drowns in sorrow
Unprepared for
The sudden distress
Gone is the world I?ve relied on
It has shed its sweet lullaby for a swan song
Raging fires
Sweep the landscape
Devouring all that dare lie
In their path
The fog consumes
Veils the sunset
Sets the stage
For a cold aftermath
Gone is the world I?ve relied on
It has shed its sweet lullaby for a swan song
Migration
Up the ocean
Unaware of
How far they may roam
And someday soon
We will follow
Leave the familiar
The crumbling walls
Are gonna cave in tonight
And the powers that have been
They will hear our call all right
Oh I got a reason to believe
We’re carving our names
In the ground for eternity
From this day forth
They’re gonna know who we are
Oh I got a reason to believe
We’re gonna make it out
They took all they could
And left us in disarray
In darkness to tread
No they never expected
The winds to change up
The borders to break down
Our spirit to rage
And their rule to falter
We’re gonna make it out
I met a man responsible
For an unforgivable crime
We were at a bar and he said to me
I’m out, I’ve done my time
But you know I will always be begging for mercy
A few seats down at the corner of the bar
Sat a mother of two
She said she’d given up her babies for
To start her life anew
All that we’ve done we hang on to
All that we’ve done we belong to
All that we’ve done carries on
Now I feel like the lucky one
Unlike how I felt before
Cause thankfully what I’ve done wrong,
The guilt I can ignore
You know I won’t be beggin for
I won’t be asking for
I won’t be desperate for mercy
if i could turn the page
and time that i rearrenged
just a day or two
close my close my eyes
but i couldn't find a way
so i'll set up for one day
to believe in you
tell me, tell me lies
tell me lies
tell me sweet little lies
(tell me, tell me lies)
oh no no no you can't disguise
tell me lies
tell me sweet little lies
oh no i'm not making plans
i hope that you understand
there's a reason why
tell me, tell me
tell me lies
no more broken hearts
we better off apart
let's give a try
tell me, tell me
tell me lies
tell me lies
tell me sweet little lies
(tell me, tell me lies)
oh no no no you can't disguise
tell me lies
tell me sweet little lies
if i could turn the page
and time that i rearrenged
just a day or two
but i couldn't find a way
so i'll set up for one day
to believe in you
tell me, tell me lies
tell me lies
tell me sweet little lies
(tell me, tell me lies)
oh no no no you can't disguise
(no, you can't disguise)
tell me lies
Stay, I could’ve chosen to stay
At least the world wouldn’t look so gray
Here, here is an empty room
Filled with an empty man
Who, dreams… of us
Whether or not I want.. too
I laugh, I laugh only to forget
And if the answer was in these words
We can move on from this
There is nothing so cruel
As fighting through these days
Tide to no rules
I’m leaving her alone
I’m leaving her alone
Ya here to be alone
I’m leaving her alone
Brave, What does it mean to be brave?
Does it mean that were gonna have to behave
Or should we weather the storm again
And never can say when
Is our minds that brought reality
Or is it our love
That just wont let it be
I’m leaving her alone
I’m leaving her alone
Ya here to be alone
I’m leaving her alone
That we can say no
We don’t have to go
When are we going to learn?
When are we going to learn?
That to give them hell
Means they’ll further gel
When are we going, going to learn?
Oh, stumbling feet
Don’t you ever wonder?
That the holes we drill
Are too deep to fill
When are we going, going to learn?
Oh, stumbling feet
Go, before it’s too late
Cause when you choose to kill
We all foot the bill
A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.
This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.
No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
London woke me up
From a comfortable sleep
With the screech of a tire
And a monotonous beep
I pulled back on the blinds
And took a one-eyed peak outside
The sun was catching a ride
On an innocuous cloud
Out on the morning streets
The Friday late-night crowd
Heading home from a night
Of tasteless jokes and alcohol
I am aware that I haven’t been here for long
I am aware that I haven’t been here for long
I don’t feel the need to call you up
I’m good
I decided to walk
In the direction of north
Where I saw two kites there
Dancing back and forth
Never knowing where next
They would blow off to or how long they’d fly
And after hitting the park
I continued on
To a bank where
The machine said I was overdrawn
By a hundred or two
Doesn’t worry me like it used to
I am aware that I haven’t been here for long
I am aware that I haven’t been here for long
I don’t feel the need to call you up
Wouldn’t want to go and interrupt
I don’t feel the need to call you up
I’m good
I am aware that I haven’t been here for long
But this moment is rare, I want it stay so long
I don’t feel the need to call you up
Wouldn’t want to go and interrupt
I don’t feel the need to call you up
In films that you can’t wait to see
In clothes that you thought you had cleaned
In dreams that you’re soon gonna dream
I’ll be there
On records you’re dying to buy
On drugs you’ve been meaning to try
In manners of some other guy
I’ll be there (I’ll be there to make you miserable)
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what you want from me
My parts have scattered, my parts have scattered
And they’re everywhere you’re going to be
No letters will come in the mail
No calls that could leave you a trail
In body I have set sail, but in spirit
I’ll be there to make you miserable
I’ll be there to make you miserable
In drinks that you drink to forget
In pets that you’re aching to pet
I’d wager a sizable bet
I’ll be there to make you miserable
It’s not that I hate you so bad
It’s not that you’ve made me so mad
I just want you to know that I’m glad
I’ll be there (I’ll be there to make you miserable)
I’ll be there (I’ll be there to make you miserable)
I’ll be there to make you
I haven't heard from you since, well I can't even recall your face
Isn't it sad to think that, our younger years have been replaced by
Responsibilities and life's little intricacies
When everyone's trying hard to be, its easy to lose track
You said some things to me that, I have had trouble forgetting about
But there ain't no sense in holding, grudges forever that's the simple way out
We may not be so close now but staying enemies I won't allow
And the only way that I know how to let go is to tell you
In a room draped in blue
i am thinkin of you
i am tired
and i cant sleep
and for you i will weep
in a flash you are gone
yet around me life is calm
i cannot understand
is this part of the plan
i get cards with buques
but they cant take ur place
and i have dreams about us
but i always wake up
and i can ask all i please
i can beg down on my knees
for a reason for a sign
but these answers i wont find
oh can you hear me
cant you tell me why.... why.... why....
ill go on
with out you
and whats left for me to do
but to stay here where i am
and my world of pretend
yeah i wont kno
until i die
if my faith was alive
till then ull here it in my cry
i didnt want to say goodbyeto you...
i didnt want to say goodbye to you....
I was sure
That you were what I?d waited for
you were the ultimate goal
I wouldn?t be hungry anymore
Had a toast
With everyone to recognize
Just how far I had come
That?s why it?s such a surprise
I wake up restless in the night
Can?t fall back asleep
Something isn?t right
And then it hits
How would I know if this was it?
How would I know for sure
What?s been for sure in my world?
Caught a show
Down at the Rockwood last night
Came away humming a tune
Sat down at home, began to write
And like a habit
I never was able to kick
You put me in a trance
Everything suddenly clicked
I?m with you for better or for worse
Don?t know if you?re a gift
Or if you?re a curse
After all
How would I know if this was it?
How would I know for sure?
What?s been for sure in my world?
(Could?ve been everything)
Now I could be wrong
That could have been all
That could?ve been all there?ll be
But if I don?t play along
It won?t ever be clear to me
No it won?t ever be clear to me
How would I know if this was it
How would I know for sure
How would I know if this was it
How would I know for sure
How would I know if this was it
How would I know for sure
What's been for sure
I know
I know
I know
Tell me you care
Tell me you're listening
Tell me it is me that you are missing
Tell me I need something more, anyone before
Stay for the moment
Under these covers
We'd lie here all day
If I had my druthers
Honey I had a bit of clue
Tell me that it's true that I've got you...
Pre-Chorus:
Is it my imagination?
Declare to me without hesitation
that nobody could suddenly take my place
and hear my crying teardrops down my face
Sing for me baby, soft as a whisper
Every single breath, a spine-tingling elixir
Honey when will you notice my cure
Tell me that it's true that I've got you...
[Instrumental interlude]
Pre-Chorus
Tell me you care
Tell me you're listening
Tell me that it's me that you are missing
Your answer is long overdue,
I like how you get when I get out of line
You say all the right things, I have no reply
I like how you butt in
And make me take a good look around
Yea, you make me take a good look around yeah
You make me take a good look around
I fail to remember, remember sometimes
I guess that?s your way then, of training my mind
That ends are beginnings
And that everything that?s lost is found yeah
Yea everything that?s lost is found
Everything that?s lost is found
Mmmmhmmm
If I?d only known you
Right from the start
It would?ve been easier
To tend to my heart
But now we are together
And I know we?ll make it work somehow yeah
We?re gonna make it work somehow yeah
We?re gonna make it work somehow
In desperate times when I am weak
In times when it is blood I seek
When nothing?s going the way I planned
And in times that I cannot understand
When I go after things beyond my reach (love is all around you)
When I question how I?ll stand the heat (love is all around)
You come to me to let me know(love is all around you)
That the good the bad is how I will grow
I took you to a five star dinner
I bought you the most expensive wine
I even paid off the maitre d'
To usher us up to the front of the line
You told me you needed a stronger, slimmer man
So I went and joined the neighborhood gym
Though the weights put my spine out of commission
Even you can't deny that I am looking real slim
You say you're taking your time
Maybe you don't even care
Sometimes I wish I was much more easy to scare
Why? God even knows how I try
I can't fascinate you
Something that I've realized
Nothing will ever do for you
But I will solve this mystery
But you've gotta give me the first clue
You said you always wanted a humble man
So I sold my car and bought a beat up van
I guess that wasn't quite enough for you
So now I only speak up when I don't know how to follow your plan
When you treat me unkind
I wanna leave you far behind
Then I think of all the things that make you so fine
And I'm back in the role again
I won't stop 'til I find the key
The key to you
I took the challenge and must confess
I never met someone so hard to impress
But all you need is someone to love you
And by the way, the comedy, has come and taken me on
Taken my legs and wrapped them around me so my head can't come down
Just when I thought I had enough, the storm gets even more rough
A la la laa...And I'm just living day by day
Am I this man who understands what my passions decree
Or better yet, am I the one who should be living this dream
All I know is that I'm stuck, but I'm bound to find some luck
Another day still awaits so I won't, I won't fade away
A hidden love, confidence, or a friend in the night
And I sleep light, not so tight, I'm afraid the bed bugs may bite me
Up and down my skin, and deep within, these foes have a grin
If it wasn?t for closing the window
You wouldn?t have heard the call
And without so much as a hello
You wouldn?t have known me at all
If it wasn?t for letting your guard down
You wouldn?t have opened me up
We?d be sitting across from each other
Wondering when will enough be enough
Give it time, give it time
You?re gonna find, you?re gonna find
That its only in your mind
If it wasn?t for changing the channel
You wouldn?t have seen the ad
You?d have fallen asleep on the sofa
Never putting the pen to the pad
And in the morning I?d be gone
Separately we?d carry on
So don?t be thinking too hard bout tomorrow
Cause we don?t know what?s coming along
Give it time, give it time
You?re gonna find, you?re gonna find
That it?s only in your mind
So can we give this thing a try?
If it wasn?t for luck in the first place
You?d never have shaken my hand
We?d be moving around at a snail?s pace
Making and breaking plans
I woulda never known your name
Woulda gone back from where I came
So don?t you worry about tomorrow
Cause we still got a lot of today
Yeah don?t you worry about tomorrow
Cause we still got a lot more today
Give it time, give it time
You?re gonna find, you?re gonna find
That its only in your mind
In your mind
You?re gonna find, you?re gonna find
That its only in your mind
Dead end driving in the dark
We don’t know what were headed for
Like lighters flicking off sparks
We’ve been counting on a little more
Dead end working every day
Wondering how we’re gonna get through
And the time will come when we won’t wanna play
Along just to make do
Well I don’t know what you want, I don’t know what you want
But we been dead end driving in the dark
Tell me how we gonna make a mark?
My philosophy, new ways that I have found
To see things I have not seen, bright enough to turn me around
Surely it’s a waste to think, someone’s gonna carry us now
Dead end talking bout a dream
That we really ought to set free
Cause it likely isn’t what it seems
And it no longer appeals to me
So I don’t know what you want
I don’t know what you want
But we’ve been end driving in the dark
And it ain’t no way to make a mark
We’ve been dead end driving in the dark
And it ain’t no way to make a mark
My philosophy, new ways that I have found
To see things I have not seen, bright enough to turn me around
Surely it’s a waste to think, someone’s gonna carry us out
Why must it always be stop and go?
Where in this life can I find constant flow?
Inconsistency on a larger scale
Impersistence forcing me to bail out
Look left look right look left again before you take a giant step
All this side to side takes me out of my groove makes me feel inept
I toe the straight line for one short time
Forget about regrets and doubts that
Make me stop on a dime
I'm a fool for distraction
Can't keep cool throughout my action
Once in a while I find satisfaction
I have too much care beyond my reach
And too much love that I can't preach
What I really need is consistency
Everywhere that I go I don't want to be
Cause I keep telling me "You're missing out, gotta move, gotta break on free"
A modern-day busybacksoon
Kind of figures cause I was born in June
The month of moody, happy feet
The people that no one would like to meet
Of wandering no-clues, but why should I have to choose?
What if what I need is just to believe
Day in day out I find I'm searching for the key
My head and heart are too stubborn to agree
Where it begins must lie within me
I've been so busy finding my way
I'm not content with the roles I've been playing
But something occurred to me just the other day
I don't need no evidence
Written in a paper card
Saying that you miss me, that living alone is awfully hard
Just come home as soon as you can
Come home, don't ever leave again
Then together we will spend, every moment till the end
I don't want no diatribe
Telling me how you feel inside
Words can be quite vivid, but they can't bring you to me live
Chorus
Its Only 3,000 miles, give or take a few
Its only 3,000 miles, between my hands and you
I don't need no good luck charm
Hanging around my big old neck
Nothing in this world could make your being away correct
Build me a sky
Build me a scape
Build me a rice house on
Cranberry lake
Float on our backs
Drawing figure eights
Drift for miles on
Cranberry lake
I've been dreaming out loud
(But) there's no turning back
turning back now……no
Build me a sunset
With your set of paints
Behind our rice house
On Cranberry lake
Bridge
Tell me a story
(With a) surprise at the end
Build the suspense and then
Kiss me instead
Our bed is patient
As we lay awake
Watching the lights over
Cranberry Lake
I’ve been hoping out loud
But I can’t take it
Take it back now, no
So build me a sunrise
With your set of paints
In front of our rice house
On cranberry Lake
Bridge ooh
I've been dreaming out loud
But there's no turning back now…
So build me a sky
Build me a scape
Build me a rice house on
Faith is a victim of circumstance
In this shallow age
It doesn?t stand a chance
Just when you think that it can?t get worse
They will twist your words
So they sound perverse
Oh, can I believe in my America?
Oh, in the business of America
Gather up the goods like a good robot
It isn?t what you are
It is what you got
Pay no attention to the dying man
If he ain?t got cash
We won?t lend a hand
Oh, can I believe in my America
Oh, in the business of America
Oh, that?s the system at work
Everybody?s a jerk
Oh, can I believe in my America
Oh, hard to believe in my America
Oh, that?s the system at work
Everybody?s a jerk
Gotta get the most, all that?s mine, mine, mine
And ignore the ones
I can make you move against your will
Don’t it make you sad to lose control?
Every single thought of yours distracted
Broken voices, I stunt your growth
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Counteractive measures will misfire
Intermittent noise will ensue
Every single strike will be averted
Sucking on the ice till you turn blue
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
I’m hearing talk from the corners
I’m reading words that aren’t there
I’m hearing talk from the corners
I’m reading words without care
I’m hearing talk from the corners
I’m reading words that aren’t there
I’m hearing words
I’m hearing words
I’m hearing words
Only what you feel is the real thing
And only what you know deep within
Should you once escape you’ll come racing back to me
I will layer on new skin
I will layer on new skin
I will layer on new skin
I’m hearing talk from the corners
I’m reading words that aren’t there
I’m hearing talk from the corners
I’m reading words without care
I’m hearing talk from the corners
I’m reading words that aren’t there
I’m hearing words
I’m hearing words
How can I turn away from your gun?
How can I stay here where others would run
And cast the blame
I fan a dying flame
All of my secrets breathe life to my lies
All of my thoughts like the ocean they slide
Along the edge
They linger on the banks
In search of refuge
Darling, don’t cry (I won’t give you up)
Don’t you know why (I won’t give you up)
This bird never flies
There’s night at the end of this heavenless day
There’s night at the end that will show me a way
I tell myself
We may still be saved
Don't you get too close
Make a mental note
That something's gonna give
If you wait this time out
A penny strikes the well
And sinks down to the bottom
With so much weight to bear
It's a quick fix so don't you dare back down
Someone please explain
How days so plain
Became so fickle and dangerous
Have gathered an unsettling dust
Have beaten up the both of us
Think Big Ben, Big Ben
Don't go down that easy
A knock at your front door
You answer from the bed
Nobody comes in
Nobody goes out
Mistakes you can't take back
The unforgiven move
If this can't be erased
You're left wondering about what might have been
Chorus
She wants to know the truth
You want to hurt her less
And one day this will pass
After I said goodbye I promised myself I'd try
To get my mind off you and back to reality
But only lightning striking me, shaking me up could ever do that trick
Caught up in your love
I was halfway home on a jet airplane, halfway between joy and pain
Thinking about walking with you by the evergreens
The way that light struck your eye, captured your face, nestled in my memory
Caught up in your love
I'm looking out my window at blue skies above caught up in your love
And I'm having all these thoughts too wild to speak of caught up in your love
I don't care if its foolish to feel this way
I will take my chances with you despite what people say
People say, "Pay no mind, you don't want to waste your time
Loving one when there's so much more for you to see.â
But they don't got what I've got, the jackpot, fits me like a glove
If the distance were cut in half
And you could do simpler math
If the angle were cut, I’d still appear obscure
The closer you get to me
The further away you’ll be
Better to secure a set of binoculars
If the ocean were not so deep
Then onward to me you’d creep
Only to find, I’m even more a blur
I don’t mean to be so cruel
Hold you to all these rules
But I would prefer, you use your binoculars
Yes I am sure, don’t say I didn’t warn you first
My mother once told me
The thicker your skin
The better off you'll be when this world brings you down
Well it's trying to control me
And leave me without hope
In the past I've been burned
But I've lived and I've learned
Beneath the shelter of the pouring rain
In the absence of this fear and pain
I will finally bid my ball and chain
A fond farewell
On the road that leads me to my place
I will rid my heart of past disgrace
I will finally bid this sluggish pace
A fond farewell
When I heard their reservations
When I read their bitter words
I shined a light upon their wisdom no matter how absurd
And it broke my heard to pieces
And I questioned my own beliefs
My dignity was gone
But it's time to move on
Say goodbye to feeling sorry for myself
To begging others for far too much help
This is my hand, these are the cards that I've been dealt
Only I can make these changes, nobody else
Say goodbye to those sleepless nights
Those corridors with no end in sight
A driven man with these words I write
It's not your stature
That tilts the scale
It's not your know-how
That whites me pale
Haven't you noticed, I so often succumb
Playing the novice, I just suck on my thumb
I'm singing the harmony to the melody you hum
I march like a soldier to the beat of your drum
Anne Marie
It is all in your delivery
But can you help that you belittle me?
It's not your fault
I feel so small
Anne Marie
I call to question
This pattern of disease
A predilection
Of yet another harsh decree
There is a rhythm pulsing out of control
Driving us swiftly away from our goal
Here in my heart babe, it's carving a hole
Pounding me weak, penetrating my soul
Anne Marie
It is all in your delivery
But can you help that you belittle me?
It's not your fault
I feel so small
Anne Marie
Anne Marie
It is all in your delivery
I am trying now to help you see
Are we working towards a better we?
Or am I shouting out a hopeless plea?
It is there in your delivery
I am trying now to make you see
It's not your fault
I feel so small
When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days
Trade in the truck and these fields of green for a ticket on the airways
I've seen pictures in magazines of skyscrapers and light displays
And all that I can think about is getting away
Every dollar I have saved
Every winter I have braved
Every road that I have paved
Leads to somewhere
Never was there any doubt
I would make my way out
I want to know what life's all about
And I will get there
Like clockwork the sun rises on this farm
Brightens the hills and wakes the trees, this town has its charm
But when you see it day in and day out for over twenty years
What once was a choice becomes obvious, now it's clear
When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days
I'm not quite sure which way I'll lean, but it won't matter anyway
And I'll never forget about you,
We'll meet again someday
Along the street, in every store
On your TV, under your door
In your face, forever more, forever more
In a quiet hiss, or a piercing scream
When you?re awake, and in your dreams
You are the mark, of another scheme, another scheme
If I could find a way back home
Where all that?s left is skin and bone
A place where I can be alone
I need to find a way back home
We?ve grown immune to sorry sights
Brought to us in black and white
We hear the bark but lose the bite, but lose the bite
If I could find a way back home
Where all that?s left is skin and bone
A place where I can be alone
I need to find a way back home
If I could find a way
To rid myself
Of all I?ve been taught to feel
If I could find a way
To erase the day
And start clean with something real
There's a lot of learning left for me to do
Cause I must know me before I know you
Somewhere along the way, I hope there will come a day
When I'll be ready
You can love me just the way you have for all these years
But this feeling won't just disappear
Somewhere along the way, I sure hope there will come a day
When all my inhibitions will subside
Round and round in circles searching for the sun
Someday honey our time will come
Every part adds to the underlying sum
That you're the only one for me
But I'm not yet where I ought to be
Somewhere along the way, I sure hope there will come a day
When all my inhibitions will subside
What should I do when the words don’t want to come out?
How many ways can I say, "I love you?"
When is the right time to put up a stop sign
What is the answer to, cheddar chatter
Finally home after a long hard day
Take off my shoes flick on the TV
I call you up just to tell you I’m crazy for you
Not knowing it would be hours before you believed me
What's up? Baby lets talk about something new (pick any subject)
Something to change our point of view
Cause like some candy cane, I’m keeping your mouth entertained
And racking my brain for cheddar chatter
What should I do when the words don’t want to come out?
How many ways can I say, "I love you?"
When is the right time to put up a stop sign
What is the answer to, cheddar chatter
I give it an hour, maybe two
Before my legs start to quiver and shake
There ain’t no doubt about our love baby
So can we quit being cheesy for goodness sake
What’s up? Baby lets talk about something new (pick any subject)
Something to change our point of view
Cause like some candy cane, I’m keeping your mouth entertained
She flips back the page of the guy with the six pack
And the girl with the buns of steel
She sees "$29.99" in big bold print and figures,
"Ooh what a great steal."
And says, "Farewell to melba toast,
Rice cakes and cottage cheese.
As soon as I get me these here magic pills my mind will be set at ease.
My mind will be set at ease."
Who has the time, who has the patience to raise a red flag?
We see the book beyond the cover, but can we make the distinction?
That tiny, insubstantial print has much more substance than you think
Everything's subject to terms and conditions
He looks over his shoulder at the girl who walked past him,
A body from heaven
He sees scarlet red lips and curvaceous hips and says,
"Hi, my name's Kevin."
When she opens up her mouth, she leaves no trace of doubt
She says, "You may have pinned me as the hetero type
But that's not what I'm about.
No that's not what I'm about."
Chorus
Everything's subject to terms and conditions
Long before we ever touched
Long before we knew too much
I wish we were strangers again
Long before we ever kissed
Long before I ever missed you
I wish we were strangers again
I want yesterday to come back again
Nothing is as simple as I once knew
Why can't everything be the way it was
Before the day that I lost you?
Long before the afterglow
Long before our tears fell slow
At my foot is a diary
A lone piece of paper
There the results of my investigations
I'm searching for takers
I want you to ache with my aching
I'm a long way from home, carrying a message
Eager to send that message to you
Lend me your ears tonight
I'm venturing out, I'm leaving my shell
I just want you to hear me out
And it just won't feel right
Without someone to tell
Someone to help me through
Someone to walk in my worn shoes
To disconnect me from my stubborn shadow
To convince me that I have grown
And I'll set you free from your own
So run from your heartache
Run away from your shame
We will bury the troubles we've been fighting to tame
Lend me your ears tonight
I'm venturing out, I'm leaving my shell
I just want you to hear me out
And it just won't feel right
My baby?s got a one track mind
She never can hold out for just a little more time
Guess she ain?t the steady kind
Always looking to the next thing, always trying to
Cut the line
She gets to feel her hands are tied
She gets to feeling locked in, wonderin' what?s on the
Other side like a
Sun hidden behind grey skies
She says ?I don?t think I?m capable of changing
Feels like forever I?ve been tryin'
So if you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait, then say goodbye?
My baby?s got a one track mind
One that is restless
And so inclined to fly
And one that cannot entwine
With another that reads hers
So well without even trying
Something she can?t deny
She says ?Honey the last thing that I want here
Is to keep you drifting with the tide
So if you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait
Then say goodbye
My baby?s got a one track mind
She says, ?I wish I could cash out
Instead of just buyin' buyin'?
Instead of just buyin' buyin'
Cause I don?t think I?m capable of changing
Feels like forever I?ve been trying
So if you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait here for me
Yeah honey the last thing that I want here
Is to bring you down beneath the tide
So if you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait here for me
If you don?t wanna wait
