| » When You're On Top « |
I need a bed that nobody's slept in.
I need some air nobody's been breathin'.
I need a thought that I can believe in.
Is this fog or is the building really burnin'?
I need you now, much more than ever.
I'm making new friends but none of them matter.
Maybe now we don't fit together.
But you've your arms around no one but strangers.
I feel fine,
With the sun in my eyes,
The wind in my hair.
We're falling out this sky.
I'm doing better than I thought I would.
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top.
I wanna wake up and just start running,
Into a ditch or straight up a mountain.
I wanna get what no one's been gettin.
Make it deeper then hell,
Or make it higher than heaven.
I need someone whos press hasn't been mad,
When everybody's disappearing by the minute.
There isn't anyone left I haven't met yet,
Well I remember when they hadn't gotten to you yet.
I feel fine,
With the sun in my eyes,
The wind in my hair.
We're falling out this sky.
I'm doing better than I thought I would.
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top.
I feel fine,
With the sun in my eyes,
The wind in my hair.
We're falling out this sky.
I'm doing better than I thought I would.
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top.
[When you're on top]
Half way up and over this rainbow,
I heard a shot fire up from the games.
As I dropped I didnt' think you'd follow,
Just didn't know the sky was this shallow.
I need a garden where nothing's forbidden.
I need an apple that no one's been eatin'.
I wanna start again back at the beginning.
I had a vision that this feeling maybe has it.
I feel fine,
With the sun in my eyes,
The wind in my hair.
We're falling out this sky.
I'm doing better than I thought I would.
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top.
I feel fine,
With the sun in my eyes,
The wind in my hair.
We're falling out this sky.
I'm doing better than I thought I would.
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top.
[When you're on top]
I need you now...! much more than ever!
I wanna start again back at the beginning!
I feel fine,
With the sun in my eyes,
The wind in my hair.
We're falling out this sky.
I'm doing better than I thought I would.
But nothing's ever as good as when you're on top. |

Slow down
You're breaking up
Use your words
Don't yell so much
I don't understand a word
That you're saying
Now move in
Come up close
You look like
You've maybe seen a ghost
Tell me
Has someone gotten to you baby
Now open your arms
Pick up your head
Open your eyes
So you can see
What happens next
You won't believe
Just how good it can get
We'll make a lover
Out of you yet
The fog is so thick
I can't see my hands
It got much worse
Soon as I got in
And I know you're somewhere
Here in the water
It's ten feet deep
And the river won't stop
I'll tell you what's in it
When I make it across
You could make it too
If you let someone help you
But you gotta give in
And you gotta let go
Then you can begin
To come up slow
Like a desert rose
[chorus]
Take a deep breath
And hold it in tight
And put your face up
Right into the light
Can't you feel that full moon
Shining down on you
Help is coming
From the great unknown
Just maybe not
When you needed it most
Cause I can see you already
Know that you're leaving
But I wish you'd stay
And just let me in
Cause everything can change
But you gotta be ready
Cause you won't know when
[chorus] |
| » Closer To You « |
How soft a whisper can get
When you're walking through a crowded space
I hear every word being said
And I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
How long an hour can take
When you're starting into open space
When I feel I'm slipping further away
I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
These are the days
That I won't get back
I won't hear you cry
Or hear you laugh
And when it's quite
And I don't hear a thing
I can always hear you breathe
You know there's nowhere else
I've wanted to be
Than be there when you need me
I'm sorry too
But don't give up on me
And just remember that when you get asleep
I got a little bit closer to you |
| » Everybody Out Of The Water « |
Now on your mark
Get set, let's go
You got to move now before she explodes
Look out the window and out below
Back away from the glass
There she blows
The city's been levelled
The hills are in flame
The streets cracked up
And when we're pushing up clay
The temperatures dropped
The sky is gray
And it ain't even over
Comes driving rain
Maybe you feel
There's something moving around in here
That's blood, That's tears
This ain't the warning
Everybody out of the water
And up on dry land
Take what you can
Cause you won't be here again
Eveybody out of the water
Now I'm treading high water to get back to you
Looking for a low spot or something to cling to
There's too many bodies there's not enough room
God help me and God help you
They say nobody panic, help is on its way
We're already on it, you got to be brave
If you can fix it now then don't make us wait
Man they ain't nobody coming back away from the case
That bell you hear, That's hell ringing in your ears
I fear, my dear, this ain't a warning
Everybody out of the water
And up on dry land
Take what you can
Cause you won't be here again
I loved you then
Like I loved you now
That don't matter anyhow
This is the new frontier
Everybody out of the water
Now I 'm looking up and the shit keeps coming
Like shooting ducks in a barrel of honey
You've got to learn how to pray
But it won't be enough
Admit it now, your information sucks
Sideslip, down in, I think of a someplace high up a mountain
Smoke clears the fog lifts
Little by little we rebuilt again
But till then,
Everybody out of the water
And up on dry land
Take what you can
Cause you won't be here again
I loved you then
Like I loved you now
That don't matter anyhow
This is the new frontier
Everybody out of the water |
| » Three Ways « |
There's three ways out of every box
Fall out the bottom
Or you crawl out the top
There's three ways
Out of every, every box
But if you can't find your way out
Then you just burn it
To the ground
Then you'll disappear
Like smoke
Into the clouds
There's three ways off a merry-go-round
You either jump
Or you let it slow down
There's three ways
Off a merry-go, merry-go round
But if you can't put your foot down
Then you just burn it
To the ground
Then you walk away
Real slow
Back into the crowd
There's always somebody there for a laugh
Then you're the only one
That's left
Now that's what you get
Left behind in the wreck
There's three ways off a burning bridge
You pray for rain
Or you learn how to swim
There's three ways off of every
Burning bridge
But if you can't find strength
And you quit
Then you can just burn up
And sink
Then you'll drift away
Real slow
Down into the ground |
| » Too Late To Quit « |
Takes all my might
To find a hole that feels right
To bury myself
In a deep sleep at night
I hear a voice
Coming from the hillside
Says I'll show you the way
I will show you the light
But I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm much too tired
I'm tired
He's says I know where you were headed
And you're half way there
But you've got to be careful
You've got to beware
Some people want to hurt you
Some people don't care
But I'm never gonna give you
Any more than you can bare
[chorus]
There's nothing left here to rise above
We're not talking bout' that kind of love
You've got people here counting on you
Now's a good time
To learn how to pull through
Sometimes a good idea
Just isn't enough
You've got to do the work
Now get your ass up
There isn't really such a thing as bad luck
Yeah, but once I shot an arrow
In the sky and it stuck
[chorus]
You've got to keep movin'
You've got to keep pushin'
You're never gonna get back
Anymore than you're givin'
Life is for the living
You've got to be willin'
A song ain't a song
Until someone starts singin'
[chorus] |
| » If You Never Got Sick « |
Well that ain't a parachute
That ain't a ripcord
That ain't a body of water
We're headed for
There's so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are gonna need someone
That ain't a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Come on in from the lake
Get it into your eyes
This invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive
And I may not be quick
I maybe never was
But tell me whatever it is that you've become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
This ain't a righteous love
Even a good one
These ain't the kinds of returns
That I was thinking of
I'm unbearable now, you ain't seen nothin yet
You'll see me dead before you see me quit
That ain't a jug of wine that you been drinkin from
Now lay back, now baby and let your fever come
I'll bury you in just to dig you out
I don't have any use for being proud
And the deeper the slide
The higher the rise
Now don't be disappointed how I'm usin mine
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
I think I made a mistake
I think I pushed when you said wait
but I never get to hold you
I followed you deep into a berry field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep that's when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
And I always knew that there was god inside of you
I just never did learn which one
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn't get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you |
| » Health And Happiness « |
Maybe it's not
That I don't care anymore
Maybe I just never did
You can't say
That I have ever lied
Because I keep the truth well hid
Tell me what's wrong
Is something wrong?
You can't be sad
When something you have never had
Suddenly feels gone
I wish you health
I wish you happiness
But absolutely nothing else
I'm not here to keep an eye on you
I think you misunderstood
I could make things easy for you
I won't
But I could
Does that make you sad?
Cause' you look sad
You should be glad
For what you've had
And don't feel bad
I could wish less for you
[chorus]
There is no distance here
To get across
There's nothing to grip
Or get a hold
The emptiness you feel
Is nothing at all
Now nobody brake any bones
It could be worse
Yeah it can get worse
You've got your strength
And you have got your health
You should be worried bout'
Somebody else
[chorus] |
| » See You When I Get There « |
I'm looking up
At the moving clouds
I've been hit so hard
This time
I just might stay down
If you were me
I would come back
To get you
If this is love
Then I don't remember
You won't find anyone
To treat you better
We've already been through
Hell and high waters
I ain't sorry baby
Don't think that
We ain't done anything
That I'd take back
Go on pretend
That you ain't changed
And don't worry bout' me
I'll see you when I get there
I'm looking up
At the moving clouds
I've been down so long
But I still think you
Might come around
So I'm making plans
For when you feel better
You just might want
Someone more familiar
You won't find anyone
Else to take you back
Now sometimes you're an angel
But you're usually
A pain in the ass
[chorus]
I need your love
Much more than I want it
You left me here
With another bad habit
Now you found paradise
And crawled to the shoreline
I saw a white flash
And then I saw the lids of my eyes
[chorus] |
| » Feels Like Summer Again « |
My mind is open
And my heart is full
I ain't got any weight
That I can't pull
And right now
I know that anything
Is possible
I'm gonna bang my drum
Blow my horn
I forget what these pills
Were ever for
I believe
I won't need them anymore
I used to burn candles
At both ends
Now I just throw the whole damn thing
Right in
Now playing in traffic is easy
Once you learn
Where you get in
You wanna come with me
Then get on board
Get in or get out
Use either door
The future is calling
And it's me
That it's looking for
Cause' it feels like summer again
I was thinking that it just might never begin
After winter and spring
It's good to have the sun on my face again
I wear big boots
I know I do
I ain't envious
Of anybodies shoes
I wear em' loose
Now maybe that's
Why it bothers you
I'm building my ship
Stick by stick
And where the waters get rough
I'm getting in
The motion of the waves
It does not
Make me sick
[chorus]
I buried my horse
In a shallow a grave
I said few things
I had champagne
That beast gave me everything
That nobody gave
I got high hopes
Tomorrow came
I won't look back
On anything
I just found out
That my bird
Can really sing…
[chorus] |
| » Everything I Need « |
I'm not looking
For a warm embrace
I'm not looking
For a friendly face
I've got
Everything I need
I'm not worried
If you're coming back
I'm in a hurry
Cause' I just found out
I've got
Everything I need
I've got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted to…
You can't save me
You can't fail me
I'm back up on my feet baby
In the way down
Is when I found out
That I got everything I need
I'm not looking
For a hand to hold
I'm not waiting
For someone to show
I've got
Everything I need
I never found a wall
I couldn't climb
I never seen a well
As deep as mine
I've got
Everything I need
I've got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted too…
It doesn't matter
If I'm qualified
Or if I ever learn
To blow your mind
I've got
Everything I need
I'm not looking
For a place to shine
I wake up
And I'm satisfied
I've got
Everything I need
I've got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted too…
[chorus] |
| » Here In Pleasantville « |
If you could see yourself the way that I do
You might change a thing or two
You wouldn't look so angry
You'd know it doesnt look good on you
So grab your coat
And grab your hat
There ain't no stayin if we're comin back
Cause something's gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville
Do you remember how we'd stay out so late
We use to have so much fun
We use to wish that the mornin' sun just would never come
Look at us now
We're tucked in tight
We're just praying for a little light
Cause something's gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville
I need to tell you now as we leave
That it's much worse than you would believe
And no matter how far you've been
The beginning, that's where you are
So I'm using my last match
I'll put a fire up on every hill
And burn down Pleasantville
We never did learn to use our voices
We never thought we'd be heard
The only way they'd ever listen
If we scream every word
Beause there ain't nothing in our walk
That just aint the kind of luck that we got
So let's move on
Cause something's gone
So terribly wrong
Here in pleasantville |
| » Empire Of My Mind « |
Well, there is trouble in my mind
There is dark
There's dark, and there is light.
I lay our hands over my eyes
As I look deep
Through valleys deep and wide
Across the border line
For the Empire in My Mind
You are the reason I don't sleep
You are the light
That's breaking through the leaves
You know how hard I try
To believe
I have something good inside
Over barricades I climb
For the Empire in My Mind.
I have no love somewhere in time
I've been lifted up
I've looked honor in the eyes
I have no reason; I have no rhyme
I cannot deny
There's a darkness that's inside
I am guilty by design
And now I realize
The temptation's made me blind
To the Empire in My Mind
There is no order
There is chaos
And there is crime
There is no one home tonight
In the Empire in My Mind
There is no distance that I don't see
I do have a will
No limit to my reach
I wish I would; I wish I might
See a line tonight
Separating wrong from right
Some are only born to try
And maybe that's the reason why
I am afraid someday I'll find
There is no Empire in My Mind
There is trouble in my life
There is trouble in my life |
