i'll wait
i keep a picture close enough
to make you think that i'm in love
and why count sheep when i can't sleep
i'll count the miles between you and me
i'll wait for you
i'll wait for you... for a while
i keep my friends far enough...
to make you think that i'm in love
but, while you sleep...
you're starting to fade
you're fading from my dreams
but, i'll wait for you
i'll wait for you... for a while
i'll wait for you
i'll wait for you... for a while...

naked
i take my time
waiting for the cure in this long line
my pain, it's mine
and it's been too long since i've been fine
i think that i've got you
stuck between my teeth for all to see
and everyone is just laughing at me
i'm naked, and i can't sleep
i'm naked, but, i'm ok
it's funny how a word
can make me wonder at what i just heard
is that a voice from inside
are there still things i'm trying to hide
i think that i've got you
stuck between my teeth for all to see
and everyone is just laughing at me
i'm naked, and i can't sleep
i'm naked, but, i'm ok
i'm ok |
no reason
there's something about the way
you smile when i'm around
there's something about the way
you say hey
and now when i'm asleep
i know i'll always be dreaming of you
there's something about the way
you say my name when no one's around
and there's something about the way
you drive with one arm out the window around town
and now when i'm awake
i know i'll always be dreaming of you
there's something about the way
you don't cry, but i do
and there's something about the way
silence falls on a hotel room
and i try to explain to anyone who will listen
that i've got it bad for no particular reason
no reason at all
there's something about the way
you don't want me, but i wish you would
and there's nothing about the way
this makes me feel that's good
but still every day,
i know i will be dreaming of you
cuz i've got it bad, for no particular reason
no reason at all

red
you can't play that card and
not show it for all to see
you can't come in
and then just decide to leave
you can't take this time,
you can't take that away from me
you can't take my heart
no you can't take that part
no one can shut this off
no one can turn this down
can't put it on a plane
it's always coming back to ground
cuz i meant every word i said
and now they're running through my head
they line up for me
they make it plain to see
that i bleed red right through and through and it's more than you can do
it takes an attitude,
it's gotta take an attitude
to get through to you
(added verse)
cuz, i could make you laugh
i could feel you wait for me to speak
and i knew you'd rather be with me
i could tell it all
i could put your face on the front page
and i could even call
but there's nothing left to say
cuz now i know
that i bleed red right through and through
and it's more than you can do
it takes an attitude
it's gotta take an attitude
it's gonna take an attitude
to get over you

someone like me
i used to think that we were meant to be
i believe you were in love with me
but scars on your back were signs telling me what was to come
and looking back i can see it all
i can see that i'd become
something i never knew (i was)
thinking i'm nothing if not a part of you
waiting for what's left over
holding your hand
wondering who i am to you
now love is a mystery
not that it ever wasn't for someone like me
please, take me back to the time
when i fit in and when i was fine
but there was never a time like this
i live in in such ignorant bliss
with headaches i wake up
wondering what i might've missed
laughing out loud
pretending to forget our last kiss
and all that keeps me facing
this loneliness |
untimely
couldn't we just talk it over
couldn't we just talk about the weather
we could've been miserable together
now i sit and i see
all that you've left for me
brothers and sister gather to grieve
and now i'm keeping up mr. stability
cuz i knew you'd be the one to leave
why couldn't we talk it over
why couldn't we talk about the weather
why couldn't we be miserable together
i knew you'd be the one to leave
untimely |
