- A Crime
To say the things i want to say to you would be a crime
To admit I'm still in love with you, after all this time
I'd rather let you touch my arm until you die
Seduce me with your charms until I'm drunk on them go home and drink in bed and never let myself be loved like that again
Light a cigarette and think of you and walk away
Turning all the words running in my head I won't say
Because of all these triangles and squares the memory we seem to share replays a distant love that plays my records wrong
- Ask
Let's find something that can last
Like cigarette ash, the world is collapsing around me
Let's try to do the best we can
I think I need more than the flowers and letters, man
It's not that I don't try, it's that you won't again
And it hurts too much to laugh about it
Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it
- Consolation Prize
I came to you,
My conscience clean,
Blood on my knees.
The moral of the story
Is don't walk away again.
I called you out,
- Damn Right
Two peas in a pod jumping on me like rice on beans
don't you flatter me out 'cause you know I will fall forever over
damn right I thought of you
damn right you tought of me too
what's the big to do?
what's a little thinking gonna hurt?
- Don't Do It
Said you need to do it,
'Cause you can't feel it tonight,
Well you can if you want to,
Want to take you outside,
Want to show you the sky,
To remind you why you shouldn't,
Do your worst if you can,
- Every Time the Sun Comes Up
Pace mine for for you
Hold my horses, patient
Hey man, tricks can't wait to hear my emotions
Every time the sun comes up, I'm in trouble
Every time the sun comes up, I'm in trouble
People say I'm a one-hit wonder
- For You
I was walking up the street
I was thinking about my dreams that might come true
With you
I was whispering in my sleep
All the secrets that I keep I told to you
I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do
- give out
There were your eyes in the dark, of the room.
The only ones shining
the only set I have met in years.
It's not because I always look down
It might be I always look out
It might be I always look out
- Holding Out
I was warmed
By your humble outlook on the world
Around you and all you are
I was floored by the way you take me seriously
Even when Im joking
Damn damn damn damn
Im not tired and Im tired
- I Always Fall Apart
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
I've covered the streets
Recovered into everlasting leaps
You know it's always been my heart
You know I always fall apart
It's not my fault, it's just my flaw
- I Wish I Knew
"I Wish I Knew"
I wish I knew what to do with you,
But the truth is I ain't got a clue,
Do you? Do You?
I wish I had an idea of what I need,
But we, oh we, can't know and that's okay,
- Jupiter 4
Our love's for real
How'd it take a long, long time
To let us feel
Try to relate in my state
And the aura around me says
My love is for real
Touching your face
How'd it take a long, long time
- Keep
Keep still so I can find you at your whim.
Breathe slowly so I can breathe with you.
Ooh... ooh...
Leave me alone,
We all want to feel at home.
Find me sleeping,
My inner dialogue's a drone.
- One Day
Sister don't mind that i'm not on time
she knows that i'm through with that
sick of trying, don't let mine
mama's still loving and daddy still loves
they know that i'm here like that
i'm like mine: true and kind
Call me aside and i will now be
- Pay My Debts
It took me years to find
True mind at peace
And now you treat me like
They approve me
You're my poem, yes you know
Yet you stole my way
Just to know this, you told me
You were late
- Serpent
It was a close call,
Sitting in the back of the room with the boy... get on
But they didn't know,
Closing on my back, I feel safe at times
Certain emblems tell me it's time
Serpents in my mind, looking for your cries
Everything changes
- Serpents
It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
with a bowl you had owned,
But they didn't know.
Close in on my black eye.
I feel safe at times.
Certain emblems
Tell me it's time
- Seventeen
I know what you wanna say
I think that you're all the same
Constantly being led astray
You think you know somethin' you don't
Downtown hot spots
Halfway up the street
I used to be free
I used to be seventeen
- Taking Chances
Turn on the charm
Call to response now
Sitting on the porch
Looking for a way out
Touched on me deep
That's why I'm still here
- Tarifa
"Tarifa"
Hit the ground
The yard, I found something
I could taste your mouth
Shut the door
Now in the sun tanning
- The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
I will be
- Warsaw
you, when you listen
in the color of sorrow
you're over me
you, with eyes through
meaning forward not given and holy
you, you're something
you mean something
genuinely show me
- We Are Fine
Trying hard to breathe
Head between my knees
Take my hand and squeeze
Say I'm alright
Whisper in my ear
Happy you are here
Everything seems clear
- You Didn't Really Do That
The sun above your head, I am home
The day was looking good, but I guess I spoke too soon
You couldn't shut your eyes while I was dreaming inside,
You didn't even knock upon my door.
But you didn't really do that, did you?
You could've had it back, but I held you
- You Know Me Well
Everyone will go with you
Listen for the way out as you
Cut me to the chase til I'm
On the other side and when
It all comes out
We're as empty as a brick house that we
Built without the sides
- Your Love Is Killing Me
It's understood
You'll be a man by the time I see you
We've been through better days
And you've tasted all my pain
Break my legs so I won't walk to you
Cut my tongue so I can't talk to you
Burn my skin so I can't feel you
