Push
Said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is cavin' in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me
And I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well
This ain't over, no, not here
Not while I still need you around
You don't owe me, we might change, yeah
Yeah, we just might feel good
I wanna push you around
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted
Well, I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, yeah, well, I will
She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrustin'
When I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
Cause it's a little bit dirty, oh, well
Well, don't just stand there, sayin' nice things to me
Cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged and you
You don't know me, yeah, well, I can't change
Well, I won't do anything at all
I wanna push you around
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted

Things get so crazy, crazy
Don't rush this, baby
Don't rush this, baby, baby

Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna take you, take you
Yeah, well, I will
I will, I will, I will, yeah
Well, I will, well, I will, yeah
Push you around
And drag you down
I wanna push you around
Well, I will
Unwell
All day starin' at the ceilin' makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices tellin' me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'
Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be, me
I'm talkin' to myself in public, dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talkin' about me
I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think
There must be somethin' wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin', somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talkin' in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell...
If You're Gone
I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak, I think you're wrong
I think you're already leavin'
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
Now I'm relaxed, I can't be sure
And I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life, and
I think I'm scared, I think too much
I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealin'
If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby, you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you
I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
And I bet you need more than you mind
And I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life
I think I'm just scared that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feelin'
If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby, you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you
I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life, and
I think I'm scared, do I talk too much?
I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealin'
If you're gone, and maybe it's time to come home
Well, there's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move
Well, if you're gone, hell, baby, you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you
Everything in
(Somethin' in me in)
In you
3 A M
She said, "It's cold outside, " and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
Well, she said, "It's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault"
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams, and her voice is straining
She says, "Baby, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
And she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it"
Well, she's got a little bit of something, God, it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world, she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams (screams) and her voice is straining
She says, "Baby, well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
Well, heaven she says, "Baby, yeah, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside, it's stopped raining
She says, "Baby, well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
Heaven, she says, "Baby, yeah, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely (I must be lonely)
Well, heaven, she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes"
Back 2 Good
It's nothing, it's so normal you
You just stand there, I could say so much
But I don't go there 'cause I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so
And everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
Well, it's best if we all keep this under our heads
And I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good
This don't mean that, you own me, well
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
Yeah, but things worked out just like you wanted to
If you see me out, you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
How to figure out just what I'm gonna do
Cause everyone here, hates everyone here for doing
Just like they do
And it's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good
Well everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
And everyone here's to blame, and everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain
Everyone, well everyone here hides
Shades of shame, yeah but looking inside we're the same
We're the same and we're all grown now
Yeah, but we don't know how
To get it back to good
Well everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
And it's best if we all keep this under our heads, hell our heads, yeah
See I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, guess it's over now
There's no getting back to good
Real World
Well, I wonder what it's like to be a rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
And you can come and see them when I'm done
When I'm done
I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown, yeah
From some other planet, I'd get this funky high on the yellow sun
Boy, I bet my friends will all be stunned
They're stunned
Yeah
Straight up, 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 hasslin' me
Do you?
Do you?
And me
Well, I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said (just what I said)
Well, I'd shout out an order
I think we're out of this, man, get me some
Boy, don't make me wanna change my tone
My tone
Yeah
Straight up, 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 hasslin' me
Please don't change, please don't break
Cause the only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change at all for me
To you and you, to me, yeah
Yeah
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else, would this all just fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me
I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me
I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me
To you and me
Put Your Hands Up
You're wide awake, your heart beats
Sister Mary in her burning dress with god at her feet
They take and take, but no more
Cause now you're gonna show em what the night is really for
And leave your heart out on the dance floor
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
Your life is full, of hard days
You try to hold it down but it's more than you can take
Those flashing lights, they shine down
It's hard as hell to try to keep your head in this town
So we're gonna burn the place down
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
No don't you ever fade away, yeah
Until the sun rise
Saying "oh ho oh oh"
Saying "oh ho oh oh"
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
No don't you ever fade away, yeah
And don't you ever fade away (better put your hands up)
Bed Of Lies
No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning, I am
I don't think that I could take another empty moment
I don't think that I could fake another hollow smile
Well, it's not enough just to be lonely
I don't think that I could take another talk about it
And just like me, you got needs and they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender to these lives that we've tendered away
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning 'cause I can
I don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
I don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just be sorry (I'm sorry)
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in?
Tried to be more than me here and I gave until it all went away
And we've only surrendered to the worst part, hell of these winters that we've made
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
I am all that I'll ever be when you lay your hands over me
And don't go weak on me, please
I know that it's weak, but God help me, I need this
I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning 'cause I can
Rest Stop
Just three miles from the rest stop and she slams on the brakes
She said, "I tried to be, but I'm not, so could you please collect your things?
Well, I don't want to be cold, I don't want to be cruel
But I gotta find more than what's happening with you
And if you would open up the door..."
She said, "While you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
When it came to mind that I didn't care"
And I thought, "Hell, if it's over
Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve"
Are you listening? Can you hear me? Have you forgotten?
Just three miles from the rest stop and my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio and I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled up promise of this broken down man
And as I opened up the door...
She said, "While you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
When it came to mind that I didn't care"
And I thought, "Hell, if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve"
Are you listening? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
(Can you hear me?) Can you hear me?
"
While you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
When it came to mind that I didn't care
"
So I thought, "Hell, if it's over
Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve"
Are you listening? Can you hear me?
"
While you were sleeping
Well, I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
When it came to mind that I didn't care
"
I thought, "Hell, if it's over
Well, I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve"
Are you listening? Can you hear me?
Last Beautiful Girl
This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back
Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face, can't help
Thinkin'
Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises that you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking
It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way
This all went down
You needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
You needed me to
Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
You'd comfort me
You'd tell me 'bout forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking
It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
It's over now and I've gone without
Cause you're everyone else's girl
It seems to me you'll always be
Everyone else's girl
Everyone else's girl
This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And all of the words we said
We can't take back
It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl
It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Last beautiful girl...
You were the last beautiful girl
Angry
So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache
Heavy on the memory, you need most
Still want love, ugly, smooth and delicate
Not without affection, not alone
And instead of wishing that it would get better
Man you're seeing that you just get angrier
And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry, anymore
Cry when you cry, run when you run
Love when you love
Represent the ashes
That you leave behind
And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder
Man you're seeing that you're sinking over time
And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry
I'm not angry it's never been enough
It gets inside and it tears you up
I'm not angry but I've never been above it
You see through me don't you
And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry
And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry, anymore
The Burn
I thought about
Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed
I'm hangin' cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round
Thought about
Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words
Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about
Now I'm down
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
Overjoyed
Feeling my hands start shaking
Hearing your voice I'm overjoyed
I'm sorry but I have no choice, you're only getting better
Maybe you have your reasons
Maybe you're scared, you're feeling down
Are you crying when there's no one around?
Oh then maybe, maybe if you hold me baby
Let me come over I would tell you secrets nobody knows
I can not overstate it, I will be overjoyed
That smile on your face like a summer
The way that your hand keeps touching mine
Let me be the one to make it right
And maybe, maybe let me hold you baby
Let me come over I would tell you secrets nobody knows
I can not overstate it, I will be overjoyed
And if you want, we'll share this life
Anytime you need a friend, I'm gonna be by your side
When nobody understands you, well I do
So maybe maybe, let me hold you baby
Let me come over I would tell you secrets God only knows
I can not over state it, I will be overjoyed
Baby let me come over I would tell you secrets nobody knows
I can not over state it, I will be overjoyed
Yeah I will be overjoyed,
Oh I will be overjoyed!
These Hard Times
Morning falls like rain into the city life
There goes another night
Losing my breath in waves
Knowing that ever crash is bleeding the hourglass
And taking the strife, from all our lives
Everyone keeps talking
They promise you everything
But they don't mean anything
We may loose our focus
There's just too many words
We're never meant to learn
And we don't feel so alive
Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times
Through these hard times
Move your hands in circles
Keeping me hypnotized
The power behind your eyes
Move around your bedroom cursing the naked sky
You should be here tonight
But you stay alone and cry
Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times
(Whoa) There's something missing
(Oh whoa) You'll never feel it but you
(Oh whoa) You're gonna feel it when it's gone
When it's gone
Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times
(Hey) these hard times
(Oh no, no) hard times
Hard times
Say goodbye, these days are gone
Say goodbye, these days are gone
These days are gone.
Our Song
I don't know why sometimes we seems so hard
Sewn together with a broken heart
I try to see you but it's getting dark
Words keep flowing out, I wonder what they mean
You're like a little piece of kerosene
But girl you've always been a friend to me
And I've been too proud sometimes
Chasin' fault lines
Oh no, I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feelings are so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh no, I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song
I don't know if someone else could handle me
I don't know what I'm suppose to be
You're the only one who really sees
You get me
I feel something growing deep inside of me
What I say and what I mean
Always seems to disagree
So help me through this hard time
Change these fault lines
Oh no, I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feelings are so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh no, I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh oh, whoa oh
Oh no, I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feelings are so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh no, I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song
This can be our song
This can be our song
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh no, oh no
This can be our song
This can be our song
Crutch
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from down
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from...
Man I feel like hell so come on over
Be a love machine and I could be your friend
Ain't no shame feel strong for one another
Make a real true color come end to end then
God damn, change of pace
I think there's still a piece of my heart on your face
It's a shame to let it waste
How does it taste? How does it taste?
Break it down in pieces, make it simple
Cause you know damn well that I'm a simple man
All these things go changing like the weather
And they stay that way until the weather man says
One down, gone to waste
I think there's still a piece of that smile on your face
And I would like to see it erased
There ain't no two ways about it
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from down
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from down, down, down
Bring it on then gone, use a lover
Like a cigarette the way that lovers do
One sweet song that starts a little slow and
Then goes on and on and makes you want to
Move around the room in circles
Everybody wants to be you
Try to find my place up on the map
Of all men you've been through
Dig a little deeper and you'll realize
All I'm building up you're tearing down
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from down
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from down, down, down, down, down
All you needed was a crutch
One step away from down
I could never be your crutch
I could break you down
I don't want to be the crutch
I don't want to be the crutch
I don't want to be the crutch
One step away from...
How Far We' ve Come
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But its feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
It's gone gone, baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me, and it's over for you
Well its gone gone, baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me, and it's over for you
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Long Day
It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach she said for no one else but you
Cause you won't turn away
When someone else is gone
I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so
Terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
It's me, yeah well I can't get myself to go away
Hey it's me, and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
And no lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
Well I'm surprised if you'd believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so set in life man, a pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
And no lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
Oh, ain't that right
It's me, yeah well I can't myself to go away
Hey, well it's me, yeah well I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way, now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
And no lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Well, reach down your hand right now
It's been a long day, always
Ain't that right
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Well, reach down your hand right now
It's been a long day, always
Ain't that right
Oh, ain't that right
Well, ain't that right, right, right on, shut up
Right, right, right on, right on, shut up
Come on
