Never seem to live up to
The ones Inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us
Anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs
Singing one more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
Never seem to live up to
The ones Inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us
Anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs
Singing one more time around
(Might do it)
One more time around
(Might make it)
Against that old facade
Some other air to breathe
That we might break these moulds
And free our restless souls
Start to believe
That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love
Like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth
As the surf that rolls
And crashes on the shore
Against that old facade
Some other air to breathe
That we might break these moulds
And free our restless souls
Start to believe
That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love
Like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth
As the surf that rolls
And crashes on the shore
I won't hold you down
You're what I want
Listen to me
Nothing I want is out of my reach
Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
I won't hold you down
You're what I want
Listen to me
Nothing I want is out of my reach
Heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
Other than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms
Wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Other than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms
Wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Not more than a smile or two can say
And everything
I've learned about you
I've learned through
The pit of my stomach anyway
And I'd forget about you
If I could dare
But I just want to make love to you
In some dark, rainy street somewhere
Not more than a smile or two can say
And everything
I've learned about you
I've learned through
The pit of my stomach anyway
And I'd forget about you
If I could dare
But I just want to make love to you
In some dark, rainy street somewhere
So much depends on the weather
So, is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see
That these are the eyes of disarray
So would you even care?
And I feel it
And she feels it
Where you going for tomorrow?
Where you going with the mask I found?

Is coming around again
And it feels like a friend
Who just won't take a hint
Cause it's hanging me up
And it's hanging around
And I'm feeling far too lost to feel too profound
And the tone of my voice is the loneliest sound
Is coming around again
And it feels like a friend
Who just won't take a hint
Cause it's hanging me up
And it's hanging around
And I'm feeling far too lost to feel too profound
And the tone of my voice is the loneliest sound
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home
Don't read the last page, but I stay
When it's hard, or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you
On New Year's Day
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home
Don't read the last page, but I stay
When it's hard, or it's wrong

Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short
It was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Climbed right back up the cliff
Long story short
I survived.

Cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
(As long as they've got cigarettes)
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell

I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you could get by

You've blown another relationship
You say that God had a hand in this
I say you should've stayed away
From that other girl
Have you ever heard of dialectics?
One sure way to get some perspective
Of course every action isn't elective
You've blown another relationship
You say that God had a hand in this
I say you should've stayed away
From that other girl
Have you ever heard of dialectics?
One sure way to get some perspective
Of course every action isn't elective
Between love and hate
Is you really real
Or is you really fake?
I'm a soldier
Standing on my feet
No surrender
And I won't retreat
Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run
It's time to do what must be done
Between love and hate
Is you really real
Or is you really fake?
I'm a soldier
Standing on my feet
No surrender
And I won't retreat
Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run
It's time to do what must be done
Don't act like you were kind
You were mine
But you were awful every time
So don't tell them what you told me
Don't hold me like you know me
I would rather burn forever
Merry Christmas
Please don't call
Don't act like you were kind
You were mine
But you were awful every time
So don't tell them what you told me
Don't hold me like you know me
I would rather burn forever
Merry Christmas
Please don't call
He was screwin' around with my mind
Asking "What are you wearing?"
Too high to remember in the morning
And when anyone called me "Lovely"
They were finding ways not to praise me
But you say it like you're in awe of me
And you stay until the morning

My eyes have always
Followed you around the room
Cause you're the only
God that I will ever need
I'm holding on
I'm waiting for the moment
For my heart to be unbroken
By the seams
My eyes have always

It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
To a sigh
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh

And there's things I would like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you never see it happen
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've, never been so alive
And there's things I would like to do

When I'm driving
Turning every head
Hell I ain't even trying
Got them Ray-Ban shades
Pretty in pink
Call me old school, but hey
I'm a 90's baby
In my 80's Mercedes

Yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
Say it's alright
Under my thumb
Is a Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest pet in the world

Lives her life from inside of a room
Hides her smile when she's wearing a frown
Ooh, Jackie, you're not so down
You like your life in a freeform style
You'll take an inch, but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin' cup
Lives her life from inside of a room
Hides her smile when she's wearing a frown
Ooh, Jackie, you're not so down
You like your life in a freeform style
You'll take an inch, but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin' cup
Before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free
So rock me mama
Like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama
Any way you feel
Before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free
So rock me mama
Like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama
Any way you feel
Treat me like a clown
Kick me when I'm down
How could you be so cruel?
All those words we said
Are gonna never leave my head
I feel like an old tattoo
Kinda like something you once believed
Now you hide under your sleeve
Treat me like a clown
Kick me when I'm down
How could you be so cruel?
All those words we said
Are gonna never leave my head
I feel like an old tattoo
Kinda like something you once believed
Now you hide under your sleeve
What did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else
Would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you
When we started this gig?
I wish the real world
Would just stop hassling me
Please don't change
Please don't break
Cause the only thing
That seems to work at all is you
What did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else
Would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you

Would just stop hassling me
Please don't change
Please don't break
Cause the only thing
That seems to work at all is you
I've always been averse to conflict
But you really fucke
With my confidence
You gotta tell me the truth
If you don't want to try
I hear a voice in my head
And it keeps asking
Why am I
In this relationship?
