so you did what you thought was right
giving up the fight
the only way that we knew was wrong
got me hanging on and on
it's everything you want
and everything you need
and the people were counting on
let you down one by one
so be sure what you're asking for
the telephone don't right no more
it's everything you want
and everything you need
the right crowd
face down in the right down
no good uptown
and maybe, somehow we'll get back home
don't care who walks through the door
the life i've paid twice for
rearranging the furniture
reminds of who you were
it's everything you want
and everything you need
the right crowd
face down in the right down
no good uptown
and maybe, somehow we'll get back home

there's a light that just won't go out
no matter what they try to do
'cause you can't pull out the circuits
remove the bulb or blow the fuse
and it just might be the brightest star discovered yet by man
but it might as well be a pin hole from where we stand
there are times when I thought it'd be easy to ignore
but it just takes one look and I don't believe my theory anymore
I won't get upset I won't fight it I'd have no escape in mind
but the distant roar of the highway just won't subside
so don't leave soon
don't leave this room
we'll be on top of the moon
but 'til then
it's a bloodbath
it's a bloodbath
it's a bloodbath
and it's getting worse
in a crowded room there are people planning our time
and the next time I know when I see them they will be older
and we'll be fine
you can count up all of your friends who still really know you on just one hand
and the others they'll come around soon
they'll understand
so don't feel bad
don't look so sad
we're much more than that
but for now it's a deathtrap
it's a deathtrap
it's a deathtrap
it's a bloodbath
and it's gonna get worse
and it's gonna get worse
it's gonna get worse
before it gets better

I'll watch over you from above
Watch with signs of your love
And heaven's not the same in the rain
It's just a sad old tale like today
But i'm already in your heart
Said i'm already in your heart
Then i knew right from the start
That i'm already in your heart
Well it's getting late, we should stay here
But you're on the phone, miles away
And though i know it's not the same
We can fall asleep, dream of ways
But you're already in my heart
Said you're already in my heart
And i knew right from the start
That you're already in my heart

You're drunk on the couch
With your feet in the clouds
And nobody's watching
You're not like the rest
'Cause God loves you the best
And there's a knock on the door
Fell asleep on the floor
And the neighbors are talking
You're alive, more or less
And God loves you the best, don't he?
Fell down the deep hole
Selling off your soul
But nobody's buying
So keep it close to your chest
'Cause God loves you the best
Yeah, God loves you the best, don't he?
Don't he?
It's a long way from the world you knew
It's a long way from the world you knew

Hanging by a string
Lose the feeling in your feet
Waiting on traffic lights
She gets nervous every time you fly
You never know what you might find
You never know what you might find
So you wait a little longer this time
See the wind blowing in the trees
And the smog hanging in the air
And people living on their knees
And Jesus, are you really there?
You never know what you might find
You never know what you might find
You never know how hard you try
It's always hard to say goodbye
So you wait a little longer this time
So you wait a little longer this time
Yeah, you wait a little longer this time
Yeah, you wait a little longer this time
Yeah, you wait a little longer this time

We'll take the long way
The roads and highways home
Fall through the middle
Get to where nothing's wrong
You fell asleep there
A place to rest your head
But i couldn't dream there
I grind my teeth and stare
Holding onto what you say
But you can't bring back yesterday
It's always been there
It always sounds this way
They're underwater
They ? keep me safe
Holding on to what you say
But you can't bring back yesterday
Holding on to what you say
But you can't bring back yesterday
Always told what not to do
Just keep me around
Yeah, just keep me around
Holding on to what you say
But you can't bring back yesterday
Always told what not to do
Just keep me around
Yeah, just keep me around

You said buying time is useless
when all of the loose ends
get you tied up in knots.
It isn't a question,
but more a suggestion,
that you're supposed to move on.
If apathy befalls you,
and nobody calls you
to see if your heart is alright,
the operation will end the frustration
removing the blinders to fly.
That we didn't see the problems
up until the point that we solved them.
Maybe if we hadn't looked out on the ocean
we wouldn't have fallen in.
Now there's a letter on the shelf,
"Baby you need time for yourself
I'll give it to you."
All the rest seems to logically follow.
So when your station calls you,
please don't let me stall you,
inside I was always prepared.
'Cause when we're together,
in rainier weather,
clouds made our vision impaired.
So we didn't see the problems
up until the point that we solved them.
Maybe if we hadn't looked out on the ocean
it wouldn't have parted, oh.
And now the letter on the shelf says,
"Baby you need time for yourself,
I'll give it to you."
Don't remember how all of it started.
No, we didn't see the problems
up until the point that we solved them
Maybe if we hadn't looked out on the ocean
we wouldn't have fallen in.
Now there's a letter on the shelf,
"Baby you need time for yourself,
I'll give it to you."
Yeah, the rest seems to logically follow, oh oh...

Ooo
If i ever get to sleep
I'll be deep inside my dreams where no one bothers me
Well things are not what they seem
Falling backwards through the forward strange and beautifully
**Things are not what they seem**
**Things are not what they seem**
So won't you just leave my be
Leave me here safe and warm
Simple and trouble free
I am just mumbling
let the words hang in the air
And bring them back to me
Because tonight I'm going back to where we started from
Tonight I'm going back to where we both belong
Because tonight I'm going back to where we started from
You can dream that we were dreaming that we fell in love
Because tonight I'm going back to where we started from
Yes Tonight I'm going back where we both belong
If i ever get to sleep
I'll be deep in my dreams just you and me.

No you don't remember the town where you were born
Cause they never no no never open up the doors
In a dream that you were dreaming
Though I hope you knew for sure
It's the town you don't remember
The town where you were born
Well, you wiped out all your foot steps
and you wiped out all your foes
Oh the comfort and the safety
That comes when your alone
It's the town you don't remember
The town where you were born
It's the town that you are leaving
The town where you belong
Heaven knows the reason
Heaven knows for sure
Heaven knows the reason
Heaven knows for sure
It's the town you are leaving
The town where you belong
