Don't Worry I called you up all night til mornin' Left my house by noon today, and I saw you standing there No one spoke, but we both listened Heard every word you didn't say And the sun shines all around us Smells like summer's on the way, and I saw you standing there Tell the story of a lifetime Tomorrow brings a brand new day Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head Least for a while You see, the day keeps getting longer But my nights seem longer still, and my TV's off the air Watching repeats on my ceiling Another hour left to kill Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head Least for a while 5.

We Are The Normal It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say The sun shines down for all of us Just the same you know I like the rain That ain't so obvious It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right This day belongs to all of us Even still I like with a chill That ain't so obvious We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights And that ain't for all of us It's a beautiful sound When my life comes crashin down That ain't so obvious It's a beautiful sin and I'm doin' it again And that ain't for all of us It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights Ain't that so obvious We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why We are the normal We live and we die With no reason why There's no reason why...

String of Lies I've got no politics, no influential friend or two I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school I might be running, but I'm never running back to you And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by You've got no power and my situation don't apply You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine And with your sugar-sweetend alibi, there was a truth I never knew And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you String of lies, it's always compromise with you String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie String of lies, we always compromise for you String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you String of lies, we always compromise for you And here's a letter from the real world 9. Another Second Time Around Happy, smilin', cryin' outburst to my past I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress The fun of holding you down, or seein' you frown, it's never gonna pass Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know All our postcards full of things I won't forget And now it's coming down, that laughing clown is all I ever get Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya Another second time around Another second, one more second time I waited for ya Another second time around Couldn't help myself I felt like everything was gonna pass It was an awkward time I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last And I didn't know exactly what to say About the things you saw me do my evil way And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed Well I'm all tired out, so wired now, it's ringing in my head Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya Another second time around Another second, one more second time I waited for ya Another second time around Another second time around Another second time around 10. Stop the World You need someone to hold you You need somethin' that you ain't been getting Yeah, I could be the one To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing And you're holding on forever But that something just ain't true I'm just like you And I know It's what I'd do Here I go 'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to I couldn't stop the world, and I won't 'Cause it ain't enough You had another bad day You let me know that you just can't take it I've given up on you You live in truth and I know I can't fake it 'Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk And they ain't polished and new If they don't come true And I know, it's what I'd do Here I go 'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to I couldn't stop the world, and I won't 'Cause it ain't enough I'm not too young for the world I'm not too young for the world And I can't change for the world 'Cause I don't care for the world I don't need to stop the world It don't make sense, the world 11. Already There I look outside my window Everything was blanketed in white The neighbors pushing cars out From snow that fell on us last night Started thinking 'bout The things we used to do when we were young Back when things were simple And getting up was fun I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there I'm already there, and I'm ready there Turn around and face the clock I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by I'm still growing up My friends are growing old before my eyes Count the stars above Wonder when the heavens will subside Knowing our two worlds Will someday just collide I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there. I'm already there, and I'm ready there Just a boy who's young at heart His smile was a bit like yours today Had a wife, a kid, some strife Never had to go astray Happiness evolved Life was in full swing At 17, all the things he wanted Were things he'd never seen It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there I'm already there, and I'm ready there 12. On The Lie He burnt down the house one night He had a loaded six-pack gun He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop You know, you never know when they'll come She said every day above ground Was another dream come true He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night But I'm not in love with you And I never got serious 'Til everything went black And I ain't so curious That I'm ever going back On the lie On the lie On the lie On the lie He said, man, you want to be Elvis I said I ain't dying face down He said you've got to die facing up in the world 'Cause there's too many holes around He asked what was wrong with me He said I looked like a Hollywood girl I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man 'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world And I never got serious 'Til everything went black And I ain't so curious That I'm ever going back On the lie On the lie On the lie On the lie On the lie, he was On the lie On the lie, she was On the lie On the lie, he was On the lie It's all been a stinkin' lie 13. Close Your Eyes I wish I had a saxophone I'd play the blues 'til you came home With a little sadness in your eye Now that all my time was spent In the walk that heaven sent Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried Had a certain passion And I had surly dreams A look of vicious actions Don't close your eyes to me Don't close your eyes to me Oh don't close your eyes to me Don't close your eyes to me I wish I had a camera lens To film the things my mind had said Before they reached my mouth and got all bad Looking at the skies of blue All day long I think of you Even after all the shit we've been through Had a certain passion And I had surly dreams A look of vicious actions Don't close your eyes to me Don't close your eyes to me Please don't close your eyes to me Don't close your eyes to me Oh don't close your eyes to me Close your eyes to me Close your eyes to me Eyes to me Close your eyes to me Don't close your eyes to me Close your eyes to me Close your eyes to me Don't close your eyes to me Eyes to me 14. So Far Away Why do you stare me down? Am I wrong? Should I turn and kiss the ground? And I never felt that way I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place And I didn't get those things Things that you can't grow You say that it's all my fault And I don't need to know Tell me something I don't know And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me You said that it's all been said before Now I find that there's something I don't know And I hate your attitude I ain't scared at all 'Cause it don't matter what you do And I'll turn around to see the truth You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down And it's all on you And I didn't get those things Things that you can't grow You say that it's all my fault And I don't need to know Tell me something I don't know And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me You said that it's all been said before Now I find that there's something I don't know And I know I don't know (Rock and roll) And I say that If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear And your heart's full of hate 'Cause your mind's full of fear Let it go So far away So far away So far away Oh so far away So far away So far away Back to Lyrics List Main |
