It occured to me
As things are slowing down
That it's always
Much better when you're around,
And it's slowly turning me
Upside down,
Upside down,
Upside down - wait
You can be who you want to
You can see who you want to
And there's nothing I can tell you now,
Except:
I'm always thinking of you
Even if I don't want to
In more ways than I can count
Cause I didn't mean to let you go,
Should've been the first one to let you know
Oh change your mind,
And let me slide just one more time
It doesn't have to be this way
We could stop fighting and wake up in your place
Or, I could go, leave it to chance
And just let this go go on...
And when we're in the future,
And "now" is a million miles away,
Will we start to reconsider
What now belongs to yesterday?
This whole life is moving fast for me,
Is it for you the same?
And do you dream?
And when you do, do you wake up saying my name?
You can be who you want to
And you can see who you want to
And there's nothing I can tell you now,
Except:
That I'm always thinking of you
And even when I don't want to
In more ways than I can count
Cause I didn't mean to let you go,
Should've been the first one to let you know
Oh change your mind,
And let me slide just one more time
And, it doesn't have to be this way
We could stop fighting and wake up in your place
Or, I could go,
Leave it to chance
And just let it go, let it go
Yeah Yeah
Cause, we were only children, still deciding who to be,
I remember following you
Hoping you'd look back at me
But then a band became my life,
And you heard California's nice,
And then we got older like people do
But I didn't mean to let you go.

plus on parle

I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend the guilt
Is what you are requiring still
You've got to dance little liar
Just like those fibbs to pop and fizz
And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you're bound to trip
And she'll detect the fiction on
Your lips and dig a contradiction up
And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar take a lot less time
I'm sure it's clear and plain to me
It's not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no, it's something for those beads of sweat
Yes that we'll get you back to normal
And after you have dabbed the patch you'll grieve
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
That newly added calmness
So as not to raise any alarms too soon
And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar takes a lot less
Time to decide on his saunter
Have you got itchy bones
And in all your time alone
Can you hack your mind being riddled
With the wrong memories
And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt between the dirt

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face
Of melting in snow
Now it looks like this
And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'cause I need it now
To take a cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go
I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down
Oh, it hurts baby
(What are we going to do now it's all been said)
(No new ideas in the house and every book has been read)
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
You can build
And I can will
And you can call
I can't wait until
You can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
I wanted love, I needed love,
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
Oh, what can I do?
Take my badge but my heart remains
Lovin' you, baby child
Tighten up on your reigns
You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild
It's true
Sick for days in so many ways
I'm achin' now, I'm achin' now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how, oh show me how
To get right
Yeah, it's out of sight
When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down,
Oh slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around, oh come around
'Cause I've found
Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while not knowing
It's such a shame
I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
I'm telling you to be ready
My dear

Lost amongst the crowd
On the torso's pumping iron
A man with a horn takes to the stage
The drum beat cracks in time
Harder and bolder the bodies move
Shoulder to shoulder skin feels smooth
Hot, sticky, still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school
Watch the moving bodies
As they react to the sound
Feasting on the visions
See the figures going round
Graceful and flowing the fashion shows
Sensual and glowing the passion grows
Pick your playmate still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school
Take it as it comes up
Leave it when it's done
Put a number in your matchbook
And call when you want fun
Living the nightlife to the end
Giving the right life like a friend
One more rover still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school
Ah Nightclub School
Dance with me
Ah Nightclub School
Play with me
Ah Nightclub School
Stay with me
Ah Nightclub School
Ride with me
Ah Nightclub School
Have fun with me
Ah Nightclub School
Dance with me
Ah Nightclub School
The drumbeat cracks in time
__________________ Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light, I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night
Breathe air you're not used to, tread floors you don't fall through
Make waves...
You crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days, in foreign places
Shed lights, on your better side
Reassure me that you'll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes!
And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath
Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all way
Fight fires in your best clothes, touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder...
With the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wonder to the next town
Force quit, on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young, that we're still too young and I'll my tongue
Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all way
I'm here, I'm here to save you
No fall, I will swim to save you
Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all way
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's alright
Always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much
Free to be whatever you
Whatever you say
If it comes my way it's alright
You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please
You can shoot the breeze if you want
It always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
Here in my mind
You know you might find
Something that you
You thought you once knew
But now it's all gone
And you know it's no fun
Yeah I know it's no fun
Oh I know it's no fun
I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright

A note dropped through the door
Tells us to go
Oh but I know that you
Will tell them to
Go somewhere else
Because you know that
I want to stay in this house forever
I don't want to ever leave
How could I ever live in another
This is where I want to be
You know that there won't be
A high wall I can climb
And find the things that I find
I have to leave them where they are
I don't want to go far
A tear-stained pillow
Doesn't seem to help me
I can't make you change your mind
I look through my window
And I see all I want to
How can I leave it all behind me now
I've done all I can do
I want to stay here
This could be my home forever
But they say I can't come back ever
You don't know just how much
I wish I could stay in this house forever
I don't want to ever leave
How could I ever live in another
This is where I want to be
You know that I don't want to go
Now red is urgent - green's a letter
And the score shows just another spin off
Orange jolts, and brown is old
Grey is weary - don't touch gold
In the fireworks, away from the heat
Behind closed doors, away from the street
No-one is listening, at least that's what you think
There's a slow fuse burning, much faster than you think
Like the new look, all that matters
Through the lettuce swamp - back in the shadows
Purple speaks why - yellow no
Silver is wood, and don't touch gold
Dance through the coloured razzamatazz
Spinning along - desert effect
Wreckless love is creeping on you
Now watch out, reckless
'Cause wreckless love will drive you crazy
Will wear your mind out
Creeps up on you when you don't know
It will find out
Wreckless love, wreckless love
Wreckless love, wreckless love
Race with my heart to the top of a kiss
Drive my desire but take care not to risk
Breaking my heart, for it's all that I own
All I command - in these times I'm alone
Other arms that held me so tight
Slip through my mind with you in the night
Feelin' reckless, feelin' reckless - wreckless love
Would you like the chance to shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for me?
Round and round and round we run
And pretend, pretend the sun is all you need
I've never known a moment to be frozen
You're making deals with minutes that will slip away, just slip away
So starve the garden, stop the rain
Winter settles on my petals anyways, anyways
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Nothing into something into nothing
Every rule you break means there's no turning back, no looking back
The words that I could never say
The clutter that is in your way is nothing new, nothing new
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Wandering between the girl you search for and the one you leave
And I cannot wait
Chasing you around the room is tempting
So near and far away from meaning anything to you
But just remember if you're jumping
I would start my jump off running after you
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Do you want to be found?

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did I even know?
And all the time we thought we did
Was it just for show?
If they try to pull you out
Would you even go?
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did you even know?
I held your hand until the light
The scars were on the back
And all the time we were the right
Was it just retract?
And they can try to put you down, wear you out
Get you through the idea of the luck
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did we even know?
All the time, we get by, trying to figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, trying to figure our lives
Like a fade out
When we took the level ten
Was it just a twelve?
And when we went to where we've been
Was it just for self?
And they can try to wear you down, put you out
Get you through your will, that won't work
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Could I even know?
All the time, we get by, trying to figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, trying to figure our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, trying to figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, trying to figure our lives
Like a fade out
I break you through this world
I break you through this world
Let me break you through this world
Can I break you through this world?
Just had an epiphany while on a short drive with this through the scenic highway. and all that flowery Springness. OMG.
