1. So Far Away---------------------------------------
I try to feel the distance
That has grown between us
Open up as lonely as the space between the stars
I wish that I could find a way
To smash my fist right through these walls
Of uglyness and emptyness and gently touch your face
(Chorus)
But everytime that I touch you
You feel so far away
And everytime that you need me
I feel so far away
I see you silently right beside me
Choking back your tears
I wonder if you recognize
That silence now defines us
Desperatly I try to fight
This overwhelming sense that I
May never find the strength to change
How hopeless we've become
(Chorus)
God I feel so far away (I feel so far away)
I need to find a way to break this silence (x3)
That's between us
So I scream your name
I scream your name (x2)
(Chorus)
And everytime that you reach out
You feel me pull away
And everytime that I touch you, I touch you, I touch you
But you feel so far away
2. Perfect--------------------------------
Lately I've noticed
How much you've changed
Even though you swear
You're the same
(Prechorus)
So why do I feel a million miles away?
Why do I feel like we're broken?
(Chorus)(x2)
Why can't it be perfect like it used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
Perfect is how I once described our love
But that was before we fell apart
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)(x2)
It used to be perfect (x3)
Lately I've noticed how much you've changed
Even though you swear you're the same
(Chorus)(x2)
It used to be perfect (x10)
3. I Remember--------------------------
Do you ever wonder where
We would be if we had tried
A little harder?
It seems like yesterday
That we were making plans
For the future
But it's been so long
Since I have known those dreams
Those dreams we've left abandoned
And I'm haunted by your face
And the memory of your kisses
Sweet kisses
(Chorus)
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
Those memories slip away
The ghost of what we were
Is faded
But there is no more pain
Which is funny 'cause that night
I was dying
I was dying
Now I don't even recognize
The girl I swore that someday
I would marry
But I can't forget her face
And I can't forget her kisses
Sweet kisses
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember always feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
Or how we swore that we would never be alone
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
'Cause I still can't forget your touch
And how we swore that we would never end
We knew that our love transcended space and time
We swore that we would never end
We knew that our love transcended space and time
Do you remember?
God I remember so much
I remember so much
4. Wasted----------------------------------
I've spent my life
Running from the emptyness that haunts me
And I've spent my whole life
Trying to fuck the loneliness away
And I die Inside
When I think of all the people I have damaged
And I'm tired, I'm so tired
And there's no one else
Except myself to blame
(Chorus)
My life's been wasted
Everything is gone
My life's been wasted
And I am all alone
My life's been wasted
There is no one else
My life's been wasted
It's time I face myself
I've spent my life
Trapped inside a cycle of self destruction
And I've spent my whole life
Trying to numb the pain inside my soul
And furious I cry
When I realized I thought this world would blow up
I'm tired I'm so fucking tired
Gotta find a way to keep myself alive
(Chorus)
When I reach the end
Will anything I've done mean anything?
(x2)
Will anything I've done mean anything? (x3)
(Chorus)(x2)
5. Happy---------------------------------------
I know you've grown to hate me
Even more than you have grown to hate yourself
But has it really made a difference?
Sharing all that hate with someone else?
(Chorus)
Please tell me are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me are you really happy?
Or did you simply throw our life away
Just to be unhappy?
Does he worship and adore you?
Does he make you feel so beautifully complete?
Is your life so much better now?
Or do those same old demons haunt your sleep?
(Chorus)
Is he everything you've dreamed of?
I imagine he is so much more than me
You know I tried to make you happy
But I believe you thrive on misery
(Chorus)
6. The Only Thing----------------------
All I need
Is the air you breathe
All I need
Is the air I breathe
All you need
Is the air we breathe
All I need
Is the air wI breathe
There are so many things
We need so desperately
And the TV preaches
We can't live without them
You tell me what is neat
I'll tell you what I believe
If I ever were without it
Then I'll be worthless
(Chorus)
'Cause you are everything
The only thing that matters
You are everything
The only thing that I need
You are everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
You are the air I breathe
I wonder if some day
We took all their toys away
You think they'd find the strength
To go on living?
'Cause deep inside I know
If I lost everything I owned
I'd be a king
As long as you're beside me
'Cause you are everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
The only thing I need
Our love is everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
You are the air I breathe
The air I breathe (x5)
I hope someday they find
A place to bid online
Where all our souls
Can buy their lives some meaning
I know we'll survive
All we need's more time
As long as we've got love
And art, and the ocean
And you are everything
The only thing that matters
We are everything
There's nothing else I need
Our love is everything
The only thing that matters
'Cause we are everything
You are the air I breathe
The air I breathe (x5)
You are everything
The only thing that matters
You are everything
There's nothing else I need
Yes you are everything
The only thing that matters
Our love is everything
You are the air I breathe
You are everything
You are the air I breathe
The air I breathe (x5)
7. Angel-------------------------------
I believed that love was sacred
As I dove blindly into her sea
You see, that warm embrace felt more like drowning
As endless waves crashed over me
She was an insatiable black hole
Feeding off my mind and off my soul
I find love humilating
Sick and desperate need that drains me
God I hope I never feel again
(Chorus)
And I've never been loved by an angel
I've never felt anything so pure
And I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight when your heaven filled my world
She showed that love could lift me higher
With a kiss she reparied these broken wings
She revived my fading spirit
Restored my faith in everything
I have never felt I had a home
Even in a crowd I felt alone
I'd almost given up on life
I believe eternally
And never thought I'd feel again
(Chorus)
I believed in nothing
But you believe in me
I thought that life was worthless
But you told me I'm a star
(Chorus)
8. Breathe You In----------------------
Tomorrow came too soon
I barely made it through today
Still empty inside
I guess nothing's really changed
I'm still afraid to feel
'Cause I cannot take the pain
I'm still afraid to feel
Afraid to lose someone again
I wish that somehow
I could leave
My past behind
My fears behind
(Chorus)
If I could only breathe you in (x3)
Every drop of you
I guess it's time to face the truth
And admit my past mistakes
Come to terms with all that's wrong with me
And all the things I'll never be
Why am I afraid to feel?
Afraid of what is true?
Why am I afraid to feel?
When all I really want is you?
To taste your skin
To share your thoughts
Would never be enough for me
(Chorus)(x2)
9. High--------------------
I can't have it
I can't fight it
When every nerve is
Crying out for release
I can't recapture
The rapture
That passion that is
Burning inside me
(Prechorus)
I've lost so much
Chasing the perfect high
I've lost so much
(Chorus)
I've never been as high as I was with you
Never been so high
I've never been as high as I was with you
I've finally realized love's a perfect high
Love's a perfect high
This hunger
It consumes me
I lost my soul as you came rushing
Thru my veins
A pathetic
Little junkie
But I'm the whore
That needs it one last time
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)(x2)
Love's a perfect high (x5)
10. Television----------------------------
I sit alone contemplating
What is missing inside me
I desperately try to remember
A life that's not meant to be
I meditate
And try to recapture
Some sense of reality
In my life
But I look around
I see numb empty faces
The world is waiting to die
And this apathy
Is so suffocating
The slow decay of my mind
I've searched the world
For someone with answers
To questions that are plaguing me
I scream in vain
At anyone who'll listen
But everybody's watchin' TV
Is anyone alive?
Or am I lost in a world
Where nothing matters?
Am I lost in a world
Where no one cares?
Is anyone alive? (x2)
Or are we lost in a world
Where nothing matters?
Are we lost in a world
Where no one cares?
Is anyone alive? (x2)
