I've got this far By thinking of you With your cardboard heart Needed something to do Bet you miss the times When I took you away From your 5 to 9 And the things people say Blinded by the sun A perfect day Don't think, don't lie, Just open your eyes What your folks did then Just doesn't apply Reclamation project Is all that I am Not quite so lost Still not quite a man Blinded by the sun A perfect day Funny how you're making the best of it Always missing the rest of it Through the bars it still shines While you run and hide From a perfect day So sad to watch While the tail's wagging you Watching in the dark Think he'd learn something new Then again you said He had reason to be Knowing what you are Stands to reason he'd see What I missed beyond That perfect day Look at you making the best of it Still missing the rest of it There's two stars that still shine While you run and hide From a perfect day Keep thinking this is the rest of me While you're missing the best of me Maybe in another life Where you run and hide From a perfect day

It's the laugh It's the walk It's the funny way you talk It's the eyes It's the smile Like sunshine Don't go now Stay right here There are things that you'll want to hear I was wrong You were right Like sunshine I'd have given all to be with you Were you waiting for last day of school? It's a bird It's a plane It's a sad sign things never change First I'm up then I'm down No sunshine I'll go now Nothing's here I can't wait a whole 'nother year First it's up Then it's down Like sunshine I'd have given all to be with you Were you waiting for last day of school? Yes it's late Not yet too I can't say what you'll have to do You were wrong I was right Like sunshine Let me go No more games This is more than needing some space Want to stay Over there In sunshine

Hiding 04:09
Once upon a time I was sure that you were mine Counting shadows that come From the rest of you Watching it die Didn't get a goodbye Nothing matters at all While we're waiting here Nothing to do Nothing left inside of you It was gone before I met you You crawled inside of me Where you left your disease No more hiding Show me where it hurts Why I got my just desserts From the only one who ever Got the best of me More than just a fling Still it never meant a thing Then you try and blame the ring For all the wreckage now Holding on for life Saying there's a reason why You were gone before I met you Now there's nothing more Let you hide behind the wall No more hiding Tell me what you did Tell me why, god forbid you will always resort to your dishonesty Trapped behind the faith That this journey in the rain would ever lead me to a place where I would find you there Hey, where you been Going West Shore towards the inn He was there before I met you No more deaf and dumb While you stay under his thumb No more hiding

His 04:27
Chasing you around in circles Watching you laugh It's all such a game I'll do the math Wondering how he got so lucky I hope that he knows Again in the dark Wherever he goes Clouds are rolling in again While the lightning that surrounds you Pulls me in Driving down the beach, you're hiding Under the reeds I'm not far behind Still I can't see Day becomes a night again I'm feeling you stay I reach for your hand You don't pull away Then I stop in your tracks Pull your lips to me Now there's no going back Everything I told you now just lives in a dream there's no one to tell There's nothing to see Trust me when I tell you that I know what it is You'll always remain Undeniably his Still I now know what it's like Just to live inside those flashes in the sky

I recall when I first laid eyes A friend of a friend A new friend of mine I'm of a mind perfectly sound I try to avoid her She's always around Now I'm falling Off this wholly made up waterfall And the pain is so big I feel nothing inside anymore All that I'm doing here I see nothing wrong All that I'm doing here I see nothing wrong I endeavor to barely make eyes I'm backed in a corner This is no disguise I'll forget her as soon as she's gone As long as I see her She's all that I want Can you feel it Like a wave of something you never had Now I'm closing the door While I'm looking for somewhere to grab All that I'm doing here I see nothing wrong All that I'm doing here I see nothing wrong

Anita 03:39
My sweet Anita This time there's no turning back What's done is done You're on your own When I feel her it's the sky that brings her to me And I again become just like the man I thought I used to be If I could only find a way - to reach you If I could only find a way - to reach you I don't remember if she ever made me angry That can't be true I'm sure Anita would have somehow found a way I don't know how to pray or even wish, all hope has left me I tell the sky I'm glad he brought her here at all If I could only find a way - to reach you If I could only find a way - to reach yo

It's just a matter of time Although right now you need me you will erase me completely once he arrives No one would be surprised They shook their heads in wonder While I kept on going under Waiting for you It's just a matter of time I tell myself I don't mind There's no place that I'd rather be I'd probably do this endlessly Who am I? It's just a matter of time I chase you 'til I'm out of breath And when I quit you're so upset Who am I? It's just a matter of time I like it here in the dark I float into the nothingness The place where there are no regrets And no you I get a foot out the door And then I see the look that makes me wish I'd never looked at you at all It's just a matter of time

N Train Song 03:32
We're in the station now And pushing through the crowd She seems so out of place But I can see her face There's an indifferent air Or did she change her hair? A look I've never known I don't know where to go We're rushing down the stairs And now she isn't there We have a ways to go I know she knows I know I lost her in the crowd I'm searching faces now Some of them I know They all just come and go I just followed And she just left this all behind I can't stop now the doors are closing right in front of my eyes I manage to squeeze in and there she is again She's looking so annoyed I'm such a stupid boy She's staring straight ahead I'm watching hope go dead Some guy is singing now Familiar too somehow I just follow I let it take me everywhere Feels so hollow And I can't find me anywhere I just followed And she just left this all behind I can't stop now the doors are closing right in front of my eyes I just follow I let it her take me everywhere Feels so hollow And I can't find me anymore anywhere

Still there locked in the drawer Fleeting it was, Fit like a glove Now it seems Sad how wrong one can be Once it was more, now locked in a drawer, remembered occasionally Cold level heart Cold level heart Hung from a chain Still locked away Lives in the dark Cold level heart Cold level heart Can't recall why I bothered to buy Something that seems so SIlly now, but so me Feeling extreme, no in between Love becomes Hating what I've become You on the ground, me all around I'd like to cancel now Cold level heart Cold level heart I let you see Too much of me I lost the key Cold level heart Cold level heart I need a break From every mistake So here's to you My love Cold level heart Cold level heart Can't recall why I bothered to buy something that seems so sIlly Cold level heart Cold level heart I need a break From every mistake So here's to you My love...

No Way Back 03:19
Now there's no way back You lost the map and I'm in the dark Who's this little man? He's in my way, asking me who I am Does he know who I am? Is it still my imagination, there's no way back? Walked out of your past Which sounds just like maybe two weeks ago It wasn't Mr. T Something so small you didn't tell me Well, you couldn't tell me We had a place on the hill we were going Now there's no way back. Somehow there's a weight that's all gone No more rearranging, the weight is all gone Tomorrow make a left turn and you will be gone Why you look sad? It's all there outside waiting for you It can't be that bad You chose a shorter road to where you You wanted to go If this is all that there's ever to know, there's no way back No, there's no way back If this is all that there's ever to know, there's no way back

I walk the corner thinking I won't make it this time I smile and spin out of control I push the button and I don't know if I'll get back I may never get back I had no answers Don't know if I even cared That night when she fell in my way I've got to get her No, I've got to run, get away But I can't get away Wanna feel her Want to know everything she can't hide Can't reveal her Everything I've ever done's coming back now I need a plan I tell you I need a plan I sat there waiting I swore the clock's turning back So slowly the sky runs away I meet the eyes that used to make me wait in the rain She says, "walk away." Last chance to tell her all the things that I need to say She comes but my mind never shows I'm down to seconds now I know what I've got to do What am I gonna do? Gonna feel her Got to know everything she can't hide Can't reveal her Everything I've ever done's coming back now I need a plan I tell you I need a plan. Don't wanna save her! Don't wanna save her Don't want to take her life away So maybe I'll take her Everything I've ever done's coming back now I need a plan Oh god, how I need a plan Don't wanna save her Don't wanna take her life away No, no Wanna hold her Touch her Feel her Want her Need her Love her

I couldn't see the reason she was gone No one can tell that anything I did was wrong I gotta be here There on the phone she told me, "it's so hard." I could've laughed at the fun times there since she's been gone Nobody said it would hurt so much to be so free Why was it her who got everything, while I got me? I gotta be here Four on the clock and I'm still in the dark No one can say that they know what life's like in my heart Bundles of friends spinning 'round my head I'll go to sleep Maybe when I wake up she'll be there in a dream Maybe I'll never really know what it is about her All I know now is what it's like to live without her If she calls I gotta be here Maybe she's back to late to make a call Suddenly all that I felt was good's turned into gone Why do I need everything to be so neat and clean? Why do I always sit around and think about what it means? Maybe I'll never really know what it is about her All I know now is what it's like to live without her If she calls I gotta be here Maybe I'll never really know what it is about her All I know now is what it's like to live without her If she calls I gotta be here

Tell Me Y 04:26
Tell me Y tell me why I didn't need the surprise Just the odds that she'd walk into here When I needed a thing to believe Why she pushed me to dare Why the clothes that she wears Why she's not one to mince any words and she always know just what to say Tell me why she shows up just in time She kept blowing my mind in her way Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Why tell me Y She's not all that she seems She has no use for your dreams Everywhere she's the light in the room But she's darker than she'd like to say Watch her making me fall in again Just when X started fading away Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Not afraid what they'll say She doesn't care anyway Don't they know she has nothing to hide She's just floating around in a dream Not afraid 'cos there's nothing to lose she has nothing that they'll take away Walks around like she knows who she is Not again, I'm not wasting a day Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Why tell me Y Why tell me Y
