The cars are passing down below   And all that's left of you is all your clothes   You left your key the T.V's on   Our picture's face down by the alarm clock radio   The only thing you ever wanted was for me to be here,   To stay now you've gone away   I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you how I'm feeling   and tell you how I've changed   I'd tell you everything   I really don't know if it make it all better   But I let myself go and put it in a letter to you   I know I've been stupid and don't have a reason   But I'm tryin not to ruin the one thing I believe in you   It's killing me, killing you   Remember how you drove me mad   You'd leave your rings and jewelry by the bath   Waking up the bed sheets gone   Spend half the night tryin to steal it back   The only thing you ever wanted was for me to be here,   To stay now you've gone away   And tell you how I've changed   I'd tell you everything   I really don't know if it make it all better   But I let myself go and put it in a letter to you   I know I've been stupid and don't have a reason   But I'm tryin not to ruin the one thing I believe in you   It's killing me, killing you   You're all that I want, (you pleaded)   You're all that i need (I need it)   Now that you're gone I see it

JESSICA
So I'm down here like you wanted
Why am I not sleeping in your bed
It's 3 o' clock in the morning
Are you all over me again
You're the one I can't figure out
But the one I can't forget
You got me worked up and locked out
I gotta stop, messin with you messin with my head
Jessica, I can't solve this equation
And it's tearing me apart
Jessica, game's not worth playin
If you don't finish what you start
Starting over without you
You'd be the first thing in my past
We'd sleep alone I won't call you on the phone
But we know that won't last
Jessica, I can't solve this equation
And it's tearing me apart
Jessica, game's not worth playin
If you don't finish what you start
It's the hardest thing to let you go
But I'm leaving tonight
It was good for me was it good for you?
Goodbye

SAVE ME
It's late and I'm losing sleep
Wonderin where you might be
I channel flip through the T.V stations
Curse myself that I don't leave
This addiction keeps me hangin on
Makes me wonder why I'm not strong enough
Save Me, won't you save me from myself
Save me again (repeat)
It feels like love's suicide
With every lesson I unlearn
Countless times I've said goodbye
But you're the bridge that i can't burn
This obsession keeps me hangin on
Makes me wonder why it's better when you're gone
Save Me, won't you save me from myself
Save me again (repeat)
You say you miss me cuz you're vulnerable
Like a habit I can't quit
You hear me knocking,
I'm at your door but don't open it,
No don't let me in

BEST THING
You're ready to go
I fake a smile
All that's between us now
is just three thousand miles
I move closer to you
You cover your face
You tried for months to make me notice
That you'd rather stay
So why is it so hard to tell you that
I'm not leaving you here
And i want you to know that
I'm so sorry I hurt you
You are the best thing in my life
We kiss goodbye
We've run out of time
I leave you standing there all alone
With strangers in line
I walk out the door
Then I run back inside
Your plane has taken off into thin air
But you stayed behind
I pull you in my arms and tell you that
I'm not leaving you here
And i want you to know that
I'm so sorry I hurt you
You are the best thing in my life
Somehow I know we'll make it to the other side
We can work it out
You are the best thing in my life
You tried so hard to tell me
I'd do anything

SUMMER STARS
Lights turnin' green as we drive around
Try to make a scene but keep the radio down
Five phones ringin'
Lookin' for somethin' to do...
Your best friend says you're at the Palisades
Lights are turnin' red, the street's a big parade
Don't worry - we'll get there,
And I'm gonna' see you...
(chorus)
Do you remember when she moved in next door,
Back in the school yard
Let's go back again,
Oh those summer stars
Boys mixin' drinks with their Gatorade
Girls are showin' up fashionably late
I kick back and wait until I see you
Stereo glass breaks living room
Standing in your wake, their eyes are all on you
You're catchin' mine, I follow you outside...
(chorus)
Do you remember when she moved in next door,
Back in the school yard
I wanna' go back again,
Oh those summer stars
It won't be long tonight
The end of summer,
We'll be gone
Tonight
Good night
(live - "Cuz you're not the only one")
(repeat chorus)

KILLING ME
The cars are passing down below
And all that's left of you is all your clothes
You left your key the T.V's on
Our picture's face down by the alarm clock radio
The only thing you ever wanted was for me to be here,
To stay now you've gone away
I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you how I'm feeling
and tell you how I've changed
I'd tell you everything
I really don't know if it make it all better
But I let myself go and put it in a letter to you
I know I've been stupid and don't have a reason
But I'm tryin not to ruin the one thing I believe in you
It's killing me, killing you
Remember how you drove me mad
You'd leave your rings and jewelry by the bath
Waking up the bed sheets gone
Spend half the night tryin to steal it back
The only thing you ever wanted was for me to be here,
To stay now you've gone away
And tell you how I've changed
I'd tell you everything
I really don't know if it make it all better
But I let myself go and put it in a letter to you
I know I've been stupid and don't have a reason
But I'm tryin not to ruin the one thing I believe in you
It's killing me, killing you
You're all that I want, (you pleaded)
You're all that i need (I need it)
Now that you're gone I see it

ACCIDENT OF YOUTH
Oh no I'm over throwing stones at windows Oh No Oh no
Oh no after all this time it outta show oh no oh no
I want you back
I want you back (repeat)
I want you to know
That i took everything.. for granted
If you want to know the truth
It was an accident of youth
And the last thing that I'm taking is the blame
Oh no everything I stood for I'm laying down Oh no Oh no
Oh no anything for the score but I lost count Oh no Oh no
I want you back
I want you back (repeat)
I want you to know that I took everything.. for granted
If you want to know the truth
It was an accident of youth
And the last thing that I'm taking is the blame

WAITING
Anyone you ask will tell you that she's over me
And that I've been waiting for too long
Everything I want is standing right in front of me
But crucial times are great for me getting it wrong
Every time I see you I fight for words
Whats it like to be you
I've only heard
I can't stand here waiting thinking about your smile
All the lights are fading on the miracle mile
I can't stand here waiting
Everybody's wondering what the hell's come over me
Everybody's over-thinking way too much
Getting knocked around like this they say is good for me
People at the door say look but you can't touch
Every time I see you I fight for words
Whats it like to be you
I've only heard
I can't stand here waiting thinking about your smile
All the lights are fading on the miracle mile
I can't stand here waiting

THIS TIME
She will let you win
She'll be waiting around
Then she'll push you in
And watch you drown
I've heard better to go ahead and let her in
I've been here before but I'm not coming round again
How can you turn a blind eye when I'm screaming
I want you to hear me this time
Turn around take a good look now cuz I'm leaving
I want you to hear me, I'll be fine
She will rush you in
Then slowly back out
When you're suffering
She'll push you down
I've heard better to go ahead and let her in
I've been here before but I'm not coming round again
How can you turn a blind eye when I'm screaming
I want you to hear me this time
Turn around take a good look now cuz I'm leaving
I want you to hear me, I'll be fine
You never had time to get away
From reasons why or the things you say
When the moment's not right
You never had time for different ways
You're wondering why you're still the same
As you break down and cry

WAKING UP
I am waking up for the first time
My mind is made up
I open my eyes I can't shake it off
what you said last night
I have slept enough now I'm going outside
I can run every step counts these days
Everyone asking for my parking space
Please someone tell me how to get the day back
I'm waking up I have barely opened my eyes
I'm waking up I have barely opened my eyes (repeat)
Standing on my own by the street light
She has come and gone with stains in her eyes
I can't shake it off
What you said last night
I have slept enough now I'm going outside
I can run every step counts these days
Everyone asking for my parking space
Please someone tell me how to get the day back
I'm waking up I have barely opened my eyes
I'm waking up I have barely opened my eyes (repeat)

YOU AND ONLY YOU
There's no more incense burning in the room
There's no more suspense before we touch
So much love back then
Do you remember when
Away from all your friends
I finally got to tell you that I want
You and only you
Lets try to make things right
Don't let go yet its too soon to say goodbye
What we had was good
Cool kids in the neighborhood
Got away with what we could
In parking lots and late night drive thrus
Had to be so cool
Left you waiting after school
So unfair and cruel
I just want to make it up to
You and only you
Lets try and make things right
Don't let go yet
Its too soon to say goodbye
You and only you
Lets try and make things right
Don't let go yet
Its to soon to say goodbye,
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say good bye,
I want you and only you
Lets try to make things right
Don't let go yet
Its too soon to say goodbye
(repeat chorus)
Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me lonely

SHINE
Late again
Alarm ringin' in my head
I pull the curtain
Try to get me outta' bed
And I've been thinkin'
I'm not feelin' quite like myself anymore....no....
My ears are ringing
Words runnin' through my head
The neighbor's screaming
The paper's soakin' wet again
And I've been thinking,
But you probably wouldn't understand at all...no, no, no, no
(chorus)
I wanna feel the sand beneath my toes
Wanna' disappear where no one knows
Maybe I'll be back in time
And all I wanna' do is shine
So let it shine
Late again
Alarm ringin' in my head
I pull the curtain
Try to get me outta' bed
I wanna' feel the sand beneath my toes
Wanna' disappear where no one knows
Maybe I'll be back in time
And all I wanna' do is shine
Wanna' feel the sand beneath my toes
Wanna' disappear where no one knows
Maybe I'll be back in time
And all I wanna' do is shine So let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine

CIGARETTE
You, you gotta be the one
Whose in on the action
I, I'm wondering when we're leaving
And you, gotta meet everyone before it's all over
Why, your gonna be here next weekend
And you, you gotta be something else
Cause we all got older
And you, your gonna be someone
(Chorus)
You make me wanna smoke a cigarette
You make me wanna be someone else
You make me wanna be somebody you would leave
And I could forget
you gotta be the one to get a reaction
I, don't wanna anyone to see me
And you, you gotta be something else
Cause we all got older
And you, your gonna be someone
(Chorus x2)
(Bridge)
There's always something wrong
There's always something wrong
There's always something wrong
But now all you see is me
And I'll stay, you go, I'm fine, living without you
And I'll stay, you go, I'm fine, living without you
And I'll stay, you go, I'm fine, living without you
And I'll stay, you go, I'm fine, living without you
And I'll stay, you go, I'm fine, living without you..
(Chorus x2)
Cigarette, cigarette, cigarette

GET TO YOU
I heard that you left crying
Told me yesterday
Close enough to feel you
But still I’m miles away
Stuck here in the airport
My world has been delayed
Turned and it was a ghost town
And I can’t stop the rain
I gotta get to you
And its all I can do
I gotta get to you
If It’s the last thing I do
Look out at the runway
The rain has turned to snow
Wide oceans full of airplanes
But none to take me home
Open up youor letter
You poured yourself into
It said for me to go my own way
But my way is to you
I gotta get to you
And its all I can do
I gotta get to you
If It’s the last thing I do
The last call is off the ground
On the window I write your name
If I could be running
You know I’d be on my way
Made it home by sunrise
And in my bed you sleep
Wearing my grey T-Shirt
I sit and watch you dream
I gotta get to you
And its all I can do
I gotta get to you
If It’s the last thing I do
The last call is off the ground
On the window I write your name
If I could be running
You know I’d be on my way
I gotta get to you
And its all I can do
I gotta get to you
If It’s the last thing I do
I gotta get to you
And its all
Its all I can do
If it’s the last thing I do
I gotta get to you
Its all
All I can do
I gotta get to you
I’m coming home to you

EMILIA'S CORNER
Won't you take me down to Emilia's corner
Sit and talk awhile
Paint my mind, thoughts and feelings
With broad strokes on a canvas
As if you could read me
Seems like it's everything I needed
Until I finally figured out how to be
Honest with myself
It leaves me dreaming
Leaves me with a faded smile
(chorus)
If you could read me (if you could read me)
Yhen you'd believe me (then you'd believe)
If you could read me (if you could read me)
Then you'd believe me
Sit back breathe the air a moment
Do you taste what I taste
See it in my eyes
You know it leaves me guessing
So why should it ever come as a surprise
(chorus)
Won't you take me down to Emilia's corner
Sit and talk awhile
Paint my mind thoughts and feelings
With broad strokes on a canvas
As if you could read me
(chorus)

A HOLE I CAN'T FILL IN
Don't look back
Cause we've been here before
But it makes no sense at all
Because all my past is strewn across my floor
And the writings on the wall
And mind is wandering
And my shoes have all worn thin
And it feels like every moment in my life
There's a hole I can't fill in
So give me a reason
That everbody's here
And don't tell me you don't know
Cause every lesson
Just don't seem as clear
Your time is up
You're free to go
And my mind is wandering
And my shoes have all worn thin
And it feels like every moment in my life
There's a hole I can't fill in
Don't look back
Cause we've been here before
But it makes no sense at all
Because all my past is strewn across my floor
And the writings on the wall
And mind is wandering
And my shoes have all worn thin And it feels like every moment in my life There's a hole I can't fill in And mind is wandering
And my shoes have all worn thin
And it feels like every moment in my life
There's a hole I can't fill in
And it feels like every moment in my life
There's a hole I can't fill in

LEARNING HOW
(This is not the whole song just the tease they did before Mining Town)
Let me get my fingers wet
I think you shoould sit down
Cause you know how the words get round this town
so tell me now I'm offering
To claim it all myself
Cause all of my excuses just ran out
The alchol and friends have all been bought
Cause you want it all but left is all you got
Your still learning how
Your still learning how
Your still learning how

MINING TOWN
Last night I went out of my head
Been coming up short for so long
Dead job barely pays the rent
A bottle of glen and there's nothign left
I'm going to leave this mining town
Where the air is thin and there's not
Cut these nettles back down to size
Sit back watch it fall in line
Do you remember jumping Miller's dam
Down by the spillway with a handle in your hand
I don't care if I see this town again
Funny how your head spins
Like a record that always skips
I've reached my wits-end
Like a tire wearing thin
Going to leave this neighborhood
Where there's only one whore and a car for sale
So small it barely made the map
And no plans on going anywhere
Do you remember jumping Miller's dam
Down by the spillway with a handle in your hand
I don't care if I see this town again
Tear that rearview mirror down
Cause I ain't looking back no more
Do you remember jumping Miller's dam
Down by the spillway with a handle in your hand
Do you remember jumping Miller's dam
I don't care if I see this town again

MORNING LIGHT
Sometimes I think I pass you walkin' on the street
And I believe it
Sometimes I think I see you lookin' back at me
I never see it
Everything you feel
Sayin' what is real
And don't go away
Say you'll stay
'Till the morning light
And don't fade away
Into gray
Standing in the light
Lie awake at night
And never sleep
To watch you breathing
Tried to smile and laugh
As you turned away
But I was bleeding
And everything I feel
I make believe is real
And don't go away
Say you'll stay
'Till the morning light
And don't fade away
Into gray
Standing in the light
Sometimes I think I pass you walkin' on the street
And I believe it
Sometimes I think I see you lookin' back at me
I never see it
Don't go away
Say you'll stay
'Till the morning light
And don't fade away
Into gray
Standing in the light
And don't go away
Say you'll stay
'Till the morning light
And don't fade away
Into gray
Standing in the light

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME
Don't give up on me tonight
We've come this far
We made good time
And all the light of the world is somewhere else
We drove all night is this old car
The morning light the faded stars
And everyday I find I'm someone else
Everyday I get closer to myself
The more I make it better
The more I find I don't know
You can ride it to wherever
Go as far as you can see
But don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
You can drive it to wherever
Do whatever makes you free
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Got around and shot of course
And what I found was here before
And all the time was time, that I just spent
And everyday I get closer to myself
And the more I make it better
The more I find I don't know
You can ride it to wherever
Go as far as you can see
But don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
You can drive it to wherever
Do whatever makes you free
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
You can drive it to wherever
Go as far as you can see
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
You can ride it to wherever
Do whatever makes you free
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me

SENDING A NOTE
There's a reason for everything
Cause anything can turn you around
There's a dead end for everyone
Cause anyone can let you down
So don't tell me cause I found out
There's nobody to hear me out
I'm sending a note to everyone
Pretending that I could be
Someone who is better off alone
And all the ways I went too far
Just seeing how you're doing
I'm sending you a note it's been too long
There's a car parked in every drive
And every wife all went away
There's a blue sky that's touching down
And every town all looks the same
So don't tell me cause I found out
So sorry to let you down
I'm sending a note to everyone
Pretending that I can be
Someone who is better off alone
And all of the ways I went too far
Just seein how you're doing
I'm sending you a note it's been too long
So don't tell me cause I found out
I'm sending a note to everyone
Pretending that I could be
Someone who is better off alone
And all of the ways I went too far
Just seein how you're doin
I'm sending you a note it's been too long

CUT
The light is breaking through the window
And we count the miles
Do you hum
To static in your own life
On the radio?
Cut a little bit of me out tonight
Take a little bit of me inside to make you right
Cut a little bit out tonight
(cut a little bit, cut a little bit)
Cut a little bit, Cut a little bit
If you want
You know that we could drive forever
Do you wanna go?
Do you feel
That you never really found a station in your life
On the radio?
Cut a little bit of me out tonight
Take a little bit of me inside to make you right
Cut a little bit out tonight
(cut a little bit, cut a little bit)
Cut a little bit, Cut a little bit
You're driving off with the brakes on
(You're driving off with the brakes on)
Come on out to me
You're driving off with the brakes on
You're driving off with the brakes on)
Come on out to me
I wish you could see
Everything that you could be
If you just let it go
Cut a little bit of me out tonight
Take a little bit of me inside to make you right
Cut a little bit out tonight
(cut a little bit, cut a little bit)
Cut a little bit, Cut a little bit
Come on out to me...

SINCE YOU BROKE IT
Tell me would you think less of me
If I said I could do without you
Tell me would you jump and down
If I said I'd couldn't see you again
Maybe you would hurt too much to hear
I'm not the one that you wanted
Cause you can never get me again
You can never get me again
Cause you know it
Never seems to work right
Since you broke it
I don't really get what the joke is
Could somebody fill me in
Did you think I couldn't tell
You might do just as well without me
Did you think that I wouldn't mind
When I knew you were lying again
So what you gonna do with yourself
Move onto someone else you can play with
Cause you never can get me again
Yeah you can never get me again
Cause you know it
Never seems to work right
Since you broke it
I don't really get what the joke is
Could somebody fill me in
So what you gonna do with yourself
Move on to someone else?
Yeah, I doubt it
You can have your next in line
'Cuz I'm a (I'm gonna') be alright in the end
Cause you know it
Never seems to work right
Since you broke it
I don't really get what the joke is, yeah
Cause you know it
Never seems to work right
Since you broke it
I don't wanna get what the joke is, yeah
I don't wanna get what the joke is

SOUTH
You and I been down inside my head
You cut your hair
The way you smoke your cigarettes
I didn't want to get too far
I didn't know that's who you are
I just sit alone going through your mail
You don't pick up bills
You don't know what you got until it all goes south
and oooh
You think you got it all 'til it all runs out
Somethin' about you that I can't get out of my head
And I won't wake up
Tellin' myself that you're comin' around again
And I won't wake up
And I won't wake up
I still do all the things that we did before
Get through the day but I just feel so bored
I didn't want to get too far
I didn't know that's who you are
I just sit alone going through your mail
You don't pick up bills
You don't know what you got until it all goes south
and oooh
You think you got it all 'til it all runs out
Somethin' about you that I can't get out of my head
And I won't wake up
Tellin' myself that you're comin' around again
And I won't wake up
... it all runs out
You oooh
You don't know what you got until it all goes south
and oooh
You think you got it all 'til it all runs out
Somethin' about you that I can't get out of my head
And I won't wake up
Tellin' myself that you're comin' around again
And I won't wake up
Why you just get it through your head...
Your head...
Your head...

ALL THE WORLD TONIGHT
All of the innocence has gone, Away
Son, someday, you'll be a man
All of the air has after taste
Son, someday you'll understand
Cause I am looking off, in the distance
Beyond the neon lights
And I can see all
All the world tonight
All the memories are locked away
Soon someday you'll take them down
All this waiting for my big parade
Soon someday its coming to town
Cause I am looking off, in the distance
Beyond the neon lights
And I can see all
The stars are out tonight
But I'm missing all
Of my good friends
I promised I would write
And I can see all
All the world tonight
Cause Im looking off, in the distance
Beyond the neon lights
And I can see all
The stars are out tonight
And I missing all of my good friends
I promised I would write
And I can see all
The moments passing by
Yeah im looking across all the buildings
And all the billboard signs
I can see all
All the world
All the world tonight
Cause I can see everything
And I can see everything
And I can see everything
Yeah, I know I got everything
And I can see everything
And I can see everything
And I can see everything
Yeah, I know I got everything
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

HOW LOW
Break down, Break down, Break down, Break down
I'm not about to change what you've become
and I won't tell you what to say
Cause you don't care
If I'm right or I am wrong
Cause you just look the other way
Cause you take it from me
You will give her everything
She will lie, she will break you down inside
So how low
(break down, you will break down)
Did you go?
(break down, you will break down)
How low?
Now every time that you get her on the line
She is watching what you say
And you don't care
If she's wrong or she is right
You just let her have her way
You can take it from me
She will take you for everything
She will lie, she will break you down inside
So how low
(break down, you will break down)
Did you go?
(break down, you will break down)
How low?
ooooooh, yeah
ooooooh, yeah
You can take it from me
She will take you for everything
She will lie, she will break you down inside
You can crawl on your knees
You can give her everything
You ask why
She won't tell you anything
So how low
(break down, you will break down)
Did you go?
(break down, you will break down)
How low?

FIRST WEEK
Are you far away, in a new life?
Are you wearing the same dress that you wore
When we met the first night?
Are you feeling it, in a different time?
Are you telling the same jokess that you told me
When we met the first time?
CHORUS
The first time that we slept with the light on
And the sun’s coming up and you woke up on the floor
Everything that you feel that you can’t describe
Why can’t it be like the first week?
Am I far away in your thoughts sometimes?
Are you telling your friends that you can’t live
Without him like when we met the first time?
Do you lie awake and you wonder why
Is it always the same thing or is this just a new
Dream that’s keeping you up at night?
Chorus Repeat
And I’ve been up and down your street, calling your house
I won't wait up 'til you get home
I just may be better off alone
The first time that we slept with the light on
and the sun’s coming up and you woke up on the floor
Everything that you feel that you can’t describe
Why can’t it be…
The first night that we slept with the light off
And the stars shine above and all our clothes are on the floor
Everything that I feel that I can’t describe
Why can’t it be like the first week

MATTHEW
I don't know why
The stars are up so high and we can't feel
I taste your light
I don't know why
A god could ever let us feel this way inside
What do I say
What do I do?
Where do I go?
When I'm thinking of you?
What do I say
What do I do?
Where do I go?
Why'd you leave us Matthew?
Why'd you leave us?
We can try
To keep it locked inside
Oh and save it for another day
I can lie and shutout everyone so I can find the words to say
What do I say?
What do I do?
Where do I go?
When I'm thinking of you?
What do I say
What do I do?
Where do I go?
Why'd you leave us Matthew?
And all alone we fly
And ss we slowly die
Can you tell me what is life
First day of your life
What do I say
What do I do?
Where do I go?
When I 'm thinking of you?
What do I say
What do I do?
Where do I go?
Why'd you leave us Matthew?
Why'd you leave us
Why'd you leave us
Why'd you leave us
Why did you leave me here Matthew?

RUNAWAY
And I am hollow as she beckons me
A million years its has taken me
The words that are escaping out my mouth
She can't find the words to say
In a moment she can't take
And her wings won't spread to let her fly south
Runaway, she's a runaway
And all the roads less traveled on
Are sorched with footprints laid upon
With bare feet and virgin eyes
The independence that she fakes
Is the dream she has to face
And its easy to believe in your own lies
Runaway, she's a runaway
And soon she will wake up
And take off her makeup
Its been so long since she's seen her skin
And the scars show from the places she's been
Runaway, she's a runaway
She's a runaway
Runaway
And I am hollow as she beckons me
A million years its taken me
The words that are escaping out my mouth
She can't find the words to say
In a moment she can't take
And her wings won't spread to let her fly south
Runaway, she's a runaway
Runaway
Runaway

HOLD ON
How long have I been spinning round your head?
So long I've been running round in circles
And for the longest time its been building up inside me
It's coming over the edge
And I step off that ledge and fall
Cause I can't hold, hold on
I can't hold, hold, hold on
So come here baby
Lets throw down all our cards
Cause I'm a king of spades
And your my queen of hearts
We can celebrate
And your lost at sea
And I will salivate
Please come to me
Cause I can't hold, hold on
I can't hold, hold on
No more prescriptions for the sickness yet come
It plaques us like we're first born sons
And we play this game
Now we're face to face
And I don't have the words
So I will cut to the chase
Oh but it hurts
And my hands will strain
At the touch of your face
Yeah the dragons slain
I fall from grace
Cause I can't hold, hold on
I can't hold, hold on

FIRST THING ON MY MIND
I do all this
Not knowing
I give myself away
And that she says we're ???
That I can't tear away
That we are still peeking
That life when we're away
That all this I'm seeking is
The last thing that I say
Oh time we watch and take
But no one seems to notice
No time I'm twisting
Gonna see the first thing on my my mind
Whoa on my mind
See the first thing on my mind
Whoa on my mind
Have they reached the point when
They turn to someone else
Can you find the ocean
Instead we put all our faith in
The song of the sirens
They sing oh time we watch and take
But no one seems to notice
No time I'm twisting
Gonna see the first thing on my mind
Oh she's on my mind
See the first thing on my mind
Little girl where have you been?
Daddy's wanted and his bottle of gin
Little girl your one more
She's just misunderstood for
A poor little rich girl
First thing on my mind
First thing on my mind
Do you run into pain
Do you duck behind your back
Do you slit your wrist with
The knife we used to cut you some slack
And we say oh time we watch and take
No one seems to notice
Oh time I'm twisting
Gonna see the first thing on my mind
I see the first thing on my mind
She's on my mind
See the first thing on my mind
She's on my mind
No no no no
She's on my mind

WIDE OPEN
I'd get back
You could be hurt standing this close
Then react
I don't see anything
Cause no one really knows
How it ends or begins
All around this story
And I don't mind anymore
What you said that tore me
Wide open inside
I'm so wide open inside
They ask is there one single regret
I'm looking back
But I wouldn't move one hair on your head
To miss you to kiss you to see you often
Until another lifetime
If you want me to wait I will
I'll be wide open inside
I'm so wide
I'm open inside
Could I be right?
Should I be wrong?
Its just one more time to wake and see you gone
Should I stay awhile?
Should I say goodnight?
I'm just so tired of these lullabyes
And I am wide open inside
I'm so wide
I'm open inside
God I am wide, God I am wide
God I am wide, God I am wide

FIND ME
There's no more incense burning in the room
There's no more suspense before we touch
And all the time spent to make you happy
And all I find then is what I wanted was
You and only you
I try to say good bye
Find then something give me one more try
Cause you and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try
And all the time with my naked self
I put my clothes on and feel like someone else
But with all the love spent it creates a sin
She is water that sticks in my skin
You and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try
Cause you and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try
It was you and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try
Cause you and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try
Theres no more incense burning in the room
theres no more suspense before we touch
And all the time spent to make you happy
And all I find then was what I wanted was
You and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try
Cause you and only you
I try to say goodbye
Find then something give me one more try

JESSICA
So we got all the answers
To the questions your heart asks
What you won't say won't hurt you
Now its coming home too fast
Your the one I can't figure out
And I'm the one you can't forget
Do you think loves the reason
That I'm still spinning in your head
Jessica you couldn't solve this equation
It's tearing you apart
Jessica your worlds not worth saving
If you don't finish what you
Starting over with out you
Your the first thing in my past
What she says is the reason
She can't come along too fast
Jessica you couldn't solve this equation
Its tearing you apart
Jessica your worlds not worth saving
If you don't finish what you start
If you don't finish what you start
If you don't finish what you start
It's the hardest thing to let you go
I'm leaving tonight
Your just someone I used to know
Goodbye
Jessica you couldn't solve this equation
Its tearing you apart
Jessica your worlds not worth saving
If you don't finish what you
Jesica you couldn't solve this equation
And it's tearing you apart
Jessica your worlds not worth saving
If ya, if you don't finish what you start
If you don't finish what you start
If you don't finish what you start

WAITING
I can't say, one more time
See your face and I am fine
Chorus:
And every time I see you, I fight for words
And though I try to reach you, I can't feel
Cause I can't stand here waiting
Thinking bout your smile
All the lights are fading on the carnival ride
And I can't stand the colors remind me of the past
How could I be so stupid to think this would last
I can't stand here waiting
I look out, broken glass sky
Lights turned down, fade into night
Chorus
And I can't stand here waiting
Cause I can't stand here waiting
Thinking bout your smile
All the lights are fading on the miracle mile
And I can't stand the colors remind me of the past
How could I be so stupid to think this would last
I can't stand here waiting
And I can't stand here waiting (repeated)
