Third Eye Blind Lyrics

How's It Going To Be
Losing A Whole Year
Motorcycle Drive By
Semi-Charmed Life
The Background

Deep Inside of You

When we met light was shed
Thoughts free flow you said you've got
something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sound, sway of
your hips round rings true
Echo's deep inside of you
These secret garden beams changed
my life so it seems
Fall breeze blows outside
i don't bring stride
My thoughts are warm, and they go
deep inside of you
Oh yeah
And I never felt alone
Alright, alone...alone
Till I met you
Friends say I've changed
I don't listen cause I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide of her dress, shouts in darkness
I'm so alive I'm
Deep inside of you
You said boy make girl feel good
But still...deep inside...STILL!
I've never felt alone
Till I met you
I'm alright on my own
Till I met you
And I'd know what to do if I just knew
what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my own people if I could find them,
And I would say that I'm sorry to you,
I'm sorry to you, but I don't want to call you,
But then I want to call you cause I don't want to crush you,
But I feel like crushing you and it's true
I took for granted you were with me,
I breath by your looks and you look
right through me
But we were broken and didn't know it
Right...oh, what's right?
Something's gone you withdraw and I'm
not strong like before I was
Deep inside of you
I can go nowhere I burn candles and stare at a ghost
Deep inside of you
And some great need in me, starts to bled
I've lost my self there's nothing left, it's all gone
Deep inside of you

How's It Going To Be

 I'm only pretty sure
That I can't take any more
Before you take a swing
I wonder what are we fighting for
When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder is there anything I'm going to miss
How's it going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When there is no one there to talk to about
How's it going to be
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
Where we used to laugh there's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumb-nail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammocks and the doorways
we spent time in
Swing empty
Don't see lightning
Like last fall when it was always about to hit me
I guess that's how it's going to be
Want to get back in again
The soft dive of oblivion

Losing A Whole Year

Losing a whole year
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you want to try a life of sin
You want to be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kind of getting the feeling that I'm
being used

And now I realize you never heard
One goddamned word I ever said
Losing a whole year

Took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
I've seen you pop that check
Craning your neck at my car wreck
It always seems the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen, you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube

And I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack
When you start talking I hear the Prozac
Convinced you've found your place
With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace
When you were yourself it tasted sweet
But it sours into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And don't want to play no more

And I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

Motorcycle Drive By

Summer time and the wind is blowing
Outside in the lower Chelsea
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my way
It crashes through the windows
And I’m sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That’s when I knew
I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I’m feeling stupid
And there’s this burning
Like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone, And I’ve
never been so alive
Visions of you on a motorcyle drive by
Cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don’t mind
And you you smile
And say the world doesn’t fit with you
I don't believe you
Thou’re so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt
Guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there’s things I’d like to do that
You don’t believe in
I would like to build something
You know it’s never going to happen
And there’s this burning
Like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone
And I’ve never been so alive
Where’s the soul, I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone Would see through that
And this will be the last time
We’ll be friends again
I’ll get over you and you’ll wonder
Who I am
And there’s this burning
Like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone
And I’ve never been so alive
I go home to the coast
It starts to rain
I paddle out, On the water
Alone, alone
And I’ve never been so alive

Narcolepsy

I’m on a train, but there’s no one at the helm And there’s a demon in my brain starts to overwhelm And there it goes, my last chance for peace I lay me down, but I get no release I try to keep awake I try to swim beneath But still I find this narcolepsy slides Into another nightmare And there’s a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I holw my breath till it’s more than I can take And I close my eyes and dream that I’m awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake But I still find this Narcolepsy slides Into another nightmare I read dead Russian authors Volumes at a time I write everyone down except what’s on my mind Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know that I will never get back out And there’s a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink And I’ll but you a beer and we’ll drink it deep Because that keeps me from falling alseep How’d you like to be alone and drowning How’d you like to be alone and drowning How’d you like to be alone and drowning Still I find this narcolpsy slide slide slides Into another night mare Keep awake Keep awake Keep awake Still I find this narcolepsy slides...

Semi-Charmed Life

I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living
She's golden and she lives for me
She says she lives for me Ovation
She's got her own motivation she
comes round
And she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do Coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rythmn that divides you

And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye
The sky it was gold
It was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth
Fill lift you up until you break
It won't stop I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rythmn
And a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you
How to I get myself back to
The place where you said
I want something else
To take me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye
I beleive in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
When the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
That day you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess
I must confess
Those little red panties they passed the test
Slide up on the belly
Face down on the mattress
One
Now you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this semi-charmed
kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye

The Background

Everything is quiet
Since you’re not around
And I lie in the numbness now
in the background
I do the things we did before
I walk Haight street to the store
And they say where’s that crazy girl
You don’t get drunk on red wine
And fight no more
Cause I don’t see you anymore
Since the hospital
But the plans I make still have you in them
Then you come swimming into view
And I’m hanging on your words like I
always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know this cause I am
Way back down, In the background
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift you head while
They change the hospital sheets
I would never lie to you
No I would never lie to you
I felt you long after we were through
And the plans I make still have you in
them
Cause you come swimming into view
And I’m hanging on your words
Like I always used to
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know this cause I am
Way back down in the background
