I'm working on my forward thinking
Working on my self control
Process this ugly mess
And figure out how to make it whole
Choke down a bus ride to the city
Chase it with a trip to the East Side
It seems like over time
I'll get so numb that I won't mind
Some days I actually forget
That this is really something
One look from you and that is it
This is really something
Being hard is hard so sick of it
This is really something good
This is really something good now
Go change the oil go get the taillight fixed
Go buy some groceries in the dark
Earth shakes, gets rearranged
And I realized I missed the dark
Some days I actually forget
That this is really something
One smile from you and that is it
This is really something
Being hard is hard so sick of it
This is really something good
Some days I actually forget
That this is really something
One look from you and that is it
This is really something
Being hard is hard so sick of it
This is really something good
This is really something good now

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
Every way to smile forget and make-believe
We never needed any more than this
Any more than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense
Of sensing something else that hides away
From me and you there're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
Every way to smile forget and make-believe
We never needed any more than this
Any more than this
And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do at all

You let me
Inside your brain
Contagious
Again and again
Well I've noticed
Along the way
That it's beautiful
And I'd love to stay
Won't you come down
And sleep on the ground
And I'll be your friend
And I'll take your hand
All my fault
I said something wrong
And I hurt you
I went overboard
So forget it
Please forget it
'Cause I do care
I just lost my head
I used to play on the green
Then I saw what I had never seen
See it in me
The branch of a tree
Under this wing
Secrecy sings
What can I
Say to make you smile
It's been an hour
It's been a while
So believe me
Please belive me
'Cause you know your
The girl of my dreams

If I seem just a little bit out of touch do you
Think it could be because of you?
Underneath real blood and deep conviction is
Another point of view
You cound down the days 'till the addiction gets a
Foot into the door
(You want what you got but you don't know)
All this time you see no end
You know no feeling anymore
(You got what you want but you let go)
Polish up your final campaign
Give a title to the way you're moving in
To stake your claim
You feel faint you say you can't control your tone
You don't know what I mean
(You want what you got but you don't know)
You never seem to have a problem finding time to
Meet your needs
(You want what you got but you don't know)
Talk about pretentious
Can you tell now that you've left us out to dry
But you can't ever tell me why
All rise here comes the patron
His cause can't be mistaken
His eyes are turning red
'Cause he don't fit in
Talk about pretentious
Do you know now why you've left us out to dry?
So next time you see me
You'll know now how to greet me
Just remember days go by but so do I
. . .

Find me, hide me
In a hollowed out tree
When you find me
Will you hide me?
See you, see through
Everything that I do
When I see you
Will you see through?
Sleep tight, slipping quiet
Into the night
Will you help me?
Will you help me?
Slipping towards the opening
Empty out all that's left of me
Sleep tight, slipping quiet
Into the night
Will you help me?
Will you help me?
See you, see through
Everything that I do
Will you help me?
Will you help me?
