this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
cuz i
i must be sleeping
[chorus]
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all in the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today
these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before
somebody shake me cuz i
i must be sleeping
[chorus]
i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me
staind- now that we're here
nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
i feel it in the air
the summer's out of reach
empty lake, empty streets
the sun goes down alone
i'm drivin' by your house
though i know you're not at home
but i can see you-
your brown skin shinin' in the sun
you got your hair combed back and your
sunglasses on, baby
and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
i never will forget those nights
i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you made me crazy?
remember how I made you scream
now i don't understand what happened to our love
but babe, i'm gonna get you back
i'm gonna show you what I'm made of
i can see you-
your brown skin shinin' in the sun
i see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
out on the road today, i saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a cadillac
a little voice Inside my head said, "don't look back. you can never look back."
i thought i knew what love was
what did i know?
those days are gone forever
i should just let them go but-
i can see you-
your brown skin shinin' in the sun
you got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
i can see you-
your brown skin shinin' in the sun
you got that hair slicked back and those wayfarers on, baby
i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
the ataris- the boys of summer
the first star i see may not be a star. we can't do a thing but wait. so let's wait for one more. the time such clumsy time in deciding if it's time. i'm careful but not sure how it goes. you can loose yourself in your courage. the mindless comfort grows when i'm alone with my 'great' plans. this is what she says gets her through it: 'if i don't let myself be happy now then when?' if not now when? when the time we have now ends. when the big hand goes around again. can you still feel the butterflies? can you still hear the last goodnight? close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me.
jimmy eat world- for me this is heaven
i'll take your words as if you were talking to me. say what i know you'll say and say it through your teeth. with pride keep every failure in. and with pride hold on to the sinking. now in the deep and down your heart moves. now in the deep and down, i don't know how but i know i want out. wait for another. just one excuse from another. this time it means us. stop.
jimmy eat world- clarity
faintest snow keep falling. hands around your waist. nameless, standing cold. take in restraint like a breath. my lungs are so numb from holding back. walk close to the fence. feel it hit your clothes. turn and smile nice. smile say goodnight. say goodnight in a breath. simple discourse breaks you clean in half. regret. do try it once and then you know. your move. settle for less again.
jimmy eat world- crush
