are you awake now?
are you alive still?
how have you been, my friends?
i've missed you all so
give me a big hug, buy me a tall drink
come sit down next to me
and we'll drink away our misery
'cause i am awake now
i am alive still
i am
i am waiting
i am waiting
i am waiting for you to wake up
'cause i am drowning
i am drowning
i am drowning in a river of "would"
but i am awake now
i am alive still
i am
i am
i am
i am
i am

I Owe You
03:11
|
|||
|
late again at least a couple hours
another time hung out to dry
i don't cut my hair and i don't shower
as many times as you would like
i listen to revolting music
open up my mouth and let it spew
stupid things at you
i've got no clue
why you still do the things you do
oh, baby i owe you
oh, baby i owe you
oh, baby i owe you
oh woohoo, oh woohoo
i draw disturbing pictures of you dancing
inside a cave without your clothes
i can't help my mind is so perverted
when we first met you had to know, right?
i listen to disgusting music
open up my mouth and let it spew
stupid things at you
I've got no clue
why you still do the things you do
oh, baby i owe you
oh, baby i owe you
oh, baby i owe you
oh woohoo, oh woohoo
i listen to obnoxious music
say dumb things, but face it
so do you
you can't deny that's true
oh, baby i owe you
oh, baby i owe you
oh, baby i owe you
oh woohoo, oh woohoo
oh baby, i owe you
oh baby, i owe you
oh baby, i owe you
oh baby, i owe you
oh woohoo
oh baby, i owe you

there's so much to tell ya
but so very little time
wanna hold ya close now, girl

with your hands on my skin
i can see deep inside your thoughts

and i don't wanna get you off
on my mind, always
and i don't wanna get you off
on my mind, always
and i don't wanna get you off
on my mind, always
and i don't wanna get you off
but i'm gonna get you off
not much left to tell ya
and way too much time
gonna toss me out now, girl
and leave me far behind
with your hands on your hips
i can see deep inside your thoughts
on my mind you remain
and i don't wanna get you off

on my mind, always
and i don't wanna get you off
on my mind, always
and i don't wanna get you off

Every Time
03:18
|
|||
|
long legs for the longest con
covered up by pants on fire
should've known you were such a liar
but i was blind
hypnotized by those big blue eyes
suckered in by the tale you crafted
and the way that your body dances every night
every time i figure out i've caught you in a lie again
you play like you're innocent and you're gonna change
and every time you let me down
you make the same old promises
next time will be different
'cause you're gonna change
she lights up from the palm of her hand
coming up with fresh excuses
we've got a bond but her word is useless
that's a fact
looking at me with your wet blue eyes
i'm not convinced by the story you crafted
and getting sick of giving second chances all the time
every time i figure out i've caught you in a lie again
you play like you're innocent and you're gonna change
and every time you let me down
you make the same old promises
next time will be different
'cause you're gonna change
and every time
every time you mean it
every time
and every time i believe it
hey, did you know
i found out
what you lied about?
it's so strange
how you change
all the time
but you're still the same
it's so cool how you do that
how do you do that?
every time i figure out i've caught you in a lie again
you play like you're innocent and you're gonna change
and every time you let me down
you make the same old promises
next time will be different
'cause you're gonna change
and every time
every time you mean it
every time
and every time i believe it

The Wishing Well
03:21
|
|||
|
all the love i felt for you when i was young
melted away like cotton candy on my tongue
vague memories of what was once but now is not
i couldn't break through that sugar coated candy firewall
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
a kiss so deep i felt it weakening my knees
a mouth so sweet i couldn't wait to brush my teeth
too close for comfort so you pushed me far away
a sea of doubt without that sugar coated candy firewall
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
c'mon, c'mon
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
c'mon, c'mon
so why not live in doubt without me
you got caught making plans around me
that sucks for someone
so why not live in doubt without me
you got caught making plans around me
yeah yeah yeah
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
here at the wishing well
yeah yeah yeah
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
here at the wishing well
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
c'mon, c'mon
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
c'mon, c'mon
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
c'mon, c'mon
i wish for someone else
to see what you couldn't see yourself
c'mon, c'mon

You Oughta Know by Now
03:39
|
|||
|
the sirens sing out to me
calling me in from the stormy rough seas
their voices so sweet i wanna capsize
i've been away for a long time
drifting away with the flow
but now i'm tired and i wanna go home
you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself
you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself
i don't know how
i got caught with my hands in the cookie jar
it tastes so sweet
it feels so good, but it's not who you are
not who you are
baby, do you like this?
tell me what you drink
tell me anything
i am sailing in a moonbeam with you
baby, do you trust me?
tell me what you need
i'll do anything
use me, love me, or abuse me
make me new
the sirens call out to me
leading me in from the chilly deep sea
their voices so sweet
i'm gonna shipwreck
i've been adrift for a lifetime
floating away in the breeze
but now i'm sick and i wanna leave
you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself
you oughta know by now
all the things you'd do if only you knew how
to think for yourself
i don't know how
i got caught with my hands in the cookie jar
it tastes so sweet
it feels so good, but it's not who you are
not who you are
dreamless sleep, wash over me
come, send me to sea
dreamless sleep, wash over me
come, send me to sea
send me to sea
baby, do you like this?
tell me what you dream
tell me anything
i am sailing in a moonbeam with you
baby, do you trust me?
tell me what you need
i'll do anything
use me, love me, or abuse me
make me new
you oughta know by now
you oughta know by now
i don't know how

all of my life
i thought if i settled down things would just get right
but now that i know
that life's not fair and planning only proves to show
that things will never really be that way
because the more that things change, they stay the same
and sometimes i think we take too long
to admit we're wrong
oh fuck
i thought i was a genius
i guess I'm just an idiot
oh shit
oh no
where do we go from here?
nowhere to go but up from here
oh dear
there's death on the news
somebody played to win with nothing left to lose
and now that they're gone
we'll do our best to get dressed and carry on
but i won't say you'll never hurt no more
cuz i'm not sure
oh fuck
i thought i was a genius
i guess I'm just an idiot
oh shit
oh no
where do we go from here?
who knows? oh well, who cares?
who knows? oh well, who cares?
well, i can't be trusted
to keep any promises
so tired of changing
i'll just fake it till I'm faded
oh fuck
i thought i was a genius
i guess I'm just an idiot
oh shit
oh no
where do we go from here?
who knows? oh well, who cares?
who knows? oh well, who cares?
who cares?
who cares?
who cares?
who cares?

Going to Hell
04:04
|

|
i was awakened last night
by bright lights pouring out of the ceiling
i heard an old familiar voice in the distance
calling out and repeating my name
it said don't worry my son
you are not the only one who's afraid to die
but you can't live your whole life that way
don't give up on me
i will make you proud again
don't give up on us
we will make you proud
don't throw in the towel
i will make you proud again
if i could just save myself
if i could just save myself
i was awakened last night
by bright lights pouring out of the ceiling
i heard an old familiar voice in the distance
calling out and repeating my name
it said don't worry my son
you are not the only one who's afraid to die
but you can't live your whole life that way
you're too smart
you're too good
don't waste that (don't waste that)
use your heart
use that brain you've got
don't give up when it gets hard
life's too long
for a sad song
playing over and over
carry on
put your best smile on
you're alive, and you've got one
don't give up on me
i will make you proud again
don't give up on us
we will make you proud
don't throw in the towel
i will make you proud again
proud again
proud again
if i could just save myself
i will make you proud again
if i could just save myself
i will make you proud again
if i could just save myself
i will make you proud again
but I'm goin' to hell if there is one
yeah I'm goin' to hell if there is one
yeah I'm goin' to hell
goin' to hell
goin' to hell
no escape at all
yeah I'm goin' to hell
goin' to hell

i tried to hold my breath
at the bottom of the ocean
i tried to fall in step

running all over my mind

but i blame everybody
i tried to hold my breath
at the bottom of the ocean
i tried to fall in step

and they pull me back?

i'm always waking up and you're not there
and baby that's not fair

running all over my mind

No Big Deal
02:25
|
|||
|
you say that you care about me
but you don't (woah)know hope without me
you were waiting for your fever to break
no big deal, piece of cake
but you got caught up in measuring tape
so fall back to the way it was before
to the same old thing every day
such a boring place
to hang your hat up and throw down your coat
lock the door now, you are home
turn on the oven and answer your phone
no big deal, now
all alone
hold on to the thing you love most
whether breathing and alive
or a creeping haunted ghost
because you're living in a fantasy world
be the oyster
i'm the pearl
you're living in a fantasy world
