something i can never have
	"i still recall the taste of my tears
         echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
         my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
         scraping through my head till i don't want to sleep anymore
         come on and tell me  make this all go away
         you make this all go away  i'm down to just one thing 
         and i'm starting to scare myself
         make this all go away  you make this all go away 
         i just want something.  i just want something i can never have"

kinda i want to 
	"i'm not sure of what i should do
         when everything i'm thinking of is you"

sin
	"you give me the anger  you give me the nerve
         carry out the sentence  i get what i deserve
         i'm just an effigy to be defaced  to be disgraced
         your need for me has been replaced
         and if i can't have everything 
         well then just give me a taste"

that's what i get
	"just when  everything was making sense
         you took away all my self-confidence
         now all that i've been hearing must be true
         i guess i'm not the only boy for you"
	"why does it come as a suprise  to think that i was so naive
         maybe didn't mean so much  but it meant everything to me"

the only time
	"maybe i'm all messed up
         maybe i'm all messed up in you
         but this is the only time i really feel alive
         this is the only time i really feel alive
         i can't help thinking Christ never had it like this"

ringfinger
	"well you've got me working so hard lately 
         working my hands until they bleed
         if i was twice the man i could be
         i'd still be half of what you need
         still you lead me and i follow 
         anything you ask you know i'll do"
