Do you know, where you want to go
I ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be
Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along
You're making me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling
Do you see, what you do to me
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think, that I'll ever be
Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance I'd go along
You're making me fall down
I'm falling down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling
Cause all I ever wanted so far gone
And if I had my chance I'd go along
You're making me fall down
I'm falling down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling

If I could walk a straight mile
And write it down in shorthand I could show you
If you want me to
And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do
But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be
Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shared them with me
Like every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far
As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Written down in hard bound books
The way things used to be they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for you
Ri said sugar, gram said shoot
Her mom said shit I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you
But I remember
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that you've gone too far
As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Your lucky star will burn you
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round

You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how
No I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
And I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and I wish you'd come back

I called you up all night til morning
Left my house by noon today
And i saw you standing there
No one spoke, but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say
And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summers on the way
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day
Don't worry bout today
And the words that you said
Shake the world from your head
Least for a while
You say the days keeps getting longer
But my nights seem longer still
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill
Don't worry bout today
And the words that you said
Shake the world from your head
Least for a while
. . .

You changed my face, I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow, cause that's the way it is
You said hello where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war and I may never be the same again
I made my bed but now I can't sleep at night
I'm tossing and turning you know you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say so I'm thinking out loud
And when you dream 17
I ain't there so I don't care
Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
I lie in my bed you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap I'll run like hell right back to you
Cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone
And when you dream 17
I ain't there so I don't care
Cause in all my dreams I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
Having nothing, liking it well
Neighbors talked and, I can tell but
Here comes the day I sit and wait
Oh it's always something
The bills keep coming the car ain't running
Now I'm thumbing home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes
I borrowed from you yesterday
Lent a bunch to you last may
No one minds I can tell
Seems I've picked the wrong seashell but
Here comes the day, I sit and wait
Oh it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
Another day, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes
Dominoes are falling still
As I know they always will
Dominoes a test of will
Dominoes

It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like with a chill
That ain't so obvious
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
My life comes crashing down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin and I'm doing it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

I've got no politics no influential friend or two
I've got ideas but it's nothing I picked up at school
I might be running but I'm never running back to you
And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am I lie and say I'm doing fine
And with your sugar sweetened alibi there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me it's coming back to you
String of lies it's always compromise with you
String of lies you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies it's been a string of lies with you
And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect your reply
And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie
String of lies we always compromise for you
String of lies you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies we always compromise for you
And here's a letter from the real world
. . .

Happy smiling crying all put to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last
And now I find myself tugging at your dress
The thought of holding you down or seeing you frown is never gonna pass
Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All on postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down that laughing clown is all I ever get
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around
Couldn't help myself
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last
And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lying crying in your bed
While I'm all tired out so wired out it's ringing in my head
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

You need someone to hold you
You need something that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you
And I know
It's what I'd do
Here I go
Cause I could stop the world, 'cause I love you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cause it ain't enough
You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk
And they ain't for wishing ooh
They don't come true
And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go
Cause I could stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cause it ain't enough
I'm not too young for the world
I'm not too young for the world

I look outside my window
Everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out
From snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking bout
The things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple
And getting up was fun
I couldn't care cause I'm already there
Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hopping by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide
I couldn't care cause I'm already there.
Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife a kid some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness abounds
Life was in full swing
At seventeen all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never see
It don't seem fair cause I'm already there
. . .

He burnt down the house one night
He had a loaded sixpack gun
He said that jesus christ was just like a cop
You know you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground
Was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap cliches all night
But I'm not in love with you
And I never got serious
Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back
On the lie, On the lie, On the lie, On the Lie
He said man you want to be Elvis
It sucks I ain't dying face down
He said you've got to die facing up in the world
Cause there's too many holes around
He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a hollywood girl
I said that hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world
And He never got serious
Til everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back
On the lie, On the lie, On the lie
On the lie, he was, On the lie
On the lie, she was, On the lie
On the lie, he was, On the lie
Theres always stinking lies

I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues til you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent
In you walked you're heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried
Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
I wish I had a camera lens
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bent
Looking up the skies of blue
All day long I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through
Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
. . .

Why do you stare me down
Am I wrong
Should I turn and kiss the ground
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place
And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know
Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know
And I hate your attitude
I ain't scared at all
Cause it don't matter what you do
And I'll turn around to see the truth
You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down
And it's all on you
And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know
Tell me something I don't know
And I find that I'm always looking round behind me
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know
If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear
And your heart's full of hate
Cause your mind's full of fear
Let it go. . . .
So far away
. . .
