Million Miles

Can you roll down the window, can I have a cigarette
Can I sweep you for forgiveness,
Can I sweep you for regret
And can you drive a little faster, to clear my head

Can you see that I've been crying, can you tell that I've been alone
Can we walk the streets at the same time, I don't mind
I'll be quiet and no one will know
And can you drive a little faster, take me home

(intro to chorus)

These are the days that make up the lifetimes
These are the clothes that I wear
And this is the only thing I wanted more than anything

(chorus)

I wanna fall, at a million miles an hour with people and
Little picture radios, and I'm smiling but I'm
Trying hard not to smile
And I crave for the little conversation
And the way you toss your hair back, you're beautiful
And it suits me fine

(solo)
(intro to chorus)
(chorus)
(chorus)

These are the days that make up the lifetimes
These are the lifetimes that make up generations
These are the lifetimes that make up generations
These are the days
These are the days that make up the lifetimes

This Is Not A Lovesong

I'm running out of reasons for caring about the other half
I think my half wants a little more pride
I'm running out of reasons for sharing sometimes I can't think of one

I'm running out of faces that I can call familiar
Hey man I'm running out of friends
That I can call at all

How long have I been sleeping, why the hell am I awake
It seems just to stand here is overkill
If I bend any farther, I swear that I'll break
And I think you should let me

It all seems so perfect, yet

Some people, some people get lonely
Some people they just grow older, and scared of a little pain
And we people, we cause a commotion
We didn't mean to be confused, we didn't mean to be alive
And we don't want to be standing here, standing here

How long have we been sleeping, why the hell are we awake
It seems just to stand here is overkill
If I bend any farther, I swear that I'll break

(chorus)

We ask, and we burn what we hear, on the water
And we speak, we burn what we say
But if you hold the rain

It's just a little further

Don’t wanna scare you
Don’t be unhappy
This is not a lovesong
This is not a lovesong

(chorus)

Loss, Strain, and Butterflies

He got bad, and she got mad, he lowered one more time
And she got even
No one heard a single word and as the clock ticked from next door
I could hear her breathing

And I said good morning Mrs. Sumner I would like you to meet my friend Mr. Jones
He has a house made out of butterflies
I can't sleep sometimes but I've been told
It's a lonely condition called growing old
Let me stumble sometimes

(intro to chorus)

I'm looking for a soul to cling to
Girl what you think about that

(chorus)

This time, well it all comes down
To loss and strain and butterflies
Then it comes right down to me

Hello have you been alright
Did you find a piece of something wrapped around the light side of your life
To make you feel better
Did you get out with your sanity
Did you save a little something for the people in need
And did you know with the rain in your pockets
You can change the weather

(intro to chorus)
(chorus)
(chorus)

Is it just the total for the wages of our sins
And have you made yourself a victim
In a game that you can't win
And our we caving in
And does it all depend on loss and strain and butterflies
And does it come right down to me anymore
This time
Does it all come down
To loss and strain and butterflies
Come on down to me

Like Roses

Please don't make me answer you
The world is big but my circles are small
And please don't try to shut me out
I'm in love that's all

I'm not afraid to listen, if you're not afraid to hear

And please don't laugh I just can't help,
Grinning when I'm giving it all
And please don't show you're face around my place
I've seen it all before

And I'm not afraid of dying, but sometimes I refrain,

I believe that life goes on like a hurricane
And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane
Anymore
And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough
and in the end there’s a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only want

(chorus)

To come through like roses
To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
In the middle of a bad dream
All you wanted was to be proud,
Like a rough little
Soldier,
There’s a place where the soul ends
Comes through like roses,
Comes through like roses

Looking down I see my cigarette is even,
With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket,
Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven,
You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong
Or I was sorry,

I can see your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round
And you're glaring at the people like you've been shut down
Quarter time,
It's a war gonna win no matter what it takes,
And you can feel every second of the cold heartache
Coming down

(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)
(fade)

Like Me

She's leaning on the mailbox
In someone else’s driveway
And she laughs to herself cause she knows
That she's still here

She won't wait forever
God knows that she wants to
And you know that if it comes down
It's gonna be war

This ain't how we're supposed to be
And nothing changes between you and me, at all

(chorus)

Ain't it just like a loser
Ain't it just like this chip on my sleeve
Ain't it like me

It's raining down in Longwood
She heard it on the radio
And she laughs to herself cause she knows
That she's not there

Well some say I'm crazy
Some say I take this shit too hard,
But you know and I know it's gonna be war

She ain't how she's supposed to be
Nothing changes between her and me, at all

(chorus)

I know the distance between us is greater and stronger
Stronger than I plan to be
Ain't it like me

The Only One!

I don’t know what we're fighting about
When every one can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one!
I only wanted to be the only one!

A chance to be forgiven
A chance to be forsaken
Did I ever by chance cross your mind?
I only wanted a chance to see you shine!
I only wanted a chance to see you shine!

I don’t have no worries, no and I don’t need no answers
And there's just enough to make it day by day
Just enough to make you fade away!

I don’t know what we're fighting about
Everyone can see that I'm not crazy
I only wanted to be the only one!
I only wanted to be the only one!

I don’t need forgiveness and I wont be forsaken
And I'm only here to take back what is mine
I cant believe the dullness of your shine!!!
Just enough has been taken away
To make me believe in it all and I pray
And I've only been on at the start to begin
Just enough that there seems to be no end
I only wanted to see your face again!
I only wanted to touch your face again!

I don’t know what we're fighting about
Every one can see that I'm not crazy

I only wanted to be the only one!!!

I only wanted to be the only 1!!!
