Альбом Gin Blossoms

The last horizons I can see are filled with bars and factories
and in them all we fight to stay awake...
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

She had nothing left to say so she said she loved me
I stood there grateful for the lie...
Drink enough of anything to make this girl look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Turn summer trees to bones and ice
Turn insect songs against the night
With words we build and words we break
I'm drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves...

Maybe I could use you to reassure myself
I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again

And when the sin smiles how could it be wrong
The last horizons I could see are now resigned to memories
I never thought I'd still be here today...
Drink enough of anything to make myself look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Well tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
Anyway I've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I may not be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy

You can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

'Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place
Hey Jealousy

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy

Well tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I may not be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy

You know she took my heart
Well there's only one thing I couldn't start

I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stranger
Think she's coming round again
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

Get in the car and drive through town
Down the block and back around
Pretending that she's there with me, we drive
Gone forever

Well, my patience keeps me plaintive, my high hopes keep me alone
My lover's will is shaken
I wish she would just come home
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I just hope she's coming round...

I want... to tell
If I am or am not myself
It's hard... to know
How far or if it all could go
Waited far... too long
For something I forgot was wrong
I don't know all the answers I think that I'll find
Or have it within the time
But it's all that I'll have in mind

Until I fall away (until I fall away)
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away (until I fall away)
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away (until I fall away)

My fear, pretend
That I'll never be in love again
It's real... to me
But not like these fools and not like this scene
I won't... find
Or have it within the time
If it's all rusted and faded in the spot where we fell
Where I thought I'd left behind
It's loose now but we could try

Until I fall away (until I fall away)
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away (until I fall away)
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away... (until I fall away)

When there's no good answers
And new questions
Another personal disaster
There's nowhere to go but down...

Until I fall away (until I fall away)
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away (until I fall away)
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away... (until I fall away)

so i guess i must have just been dreaming,
when i thought i heard myself say no,
and anyway it looks like noone heard me,
so here i go.
cuz when youre in the company of strangers,
or with the strangers you call friends,
you know before you start
just how its gonna end.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy,
hold me down

i cant remember why i like this feeling,
when it always seems to let me down,
soon i find im searching for the exit,
from the ground.
and if i think the room is turning faster,
and i think the music is too loud,
by then ill have another broken story,
let me out.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.

if youre at the tail end of the evening,
and that good feeling comes around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

well i guess i must have just been reeling,
when i felt myself begin to fall,
i realized im boundin down the hallway
off the walls.
and if my bed was standing in the corner
i could just fall into it right now
know that id be starin at the ceiling
goin round and round

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.
or if youre at the tail end of the evening
and that good feelin comes around
anytime the pickins look too easy,
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

know that ill never be back home.
down and ive gone too far.

well, she'll be leavin today i do know
so far away
i'm feelin so blue and it shows
in every single way

once that girl, she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry
they say, that you can't miss,
somethin that you've never had
so tell me why,
why i could feel so bad

well we used to walk down the path
just like lovers do
she'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
and i'd stare in her eyes - they were blue, ooh

once that girl she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry

they say, that you can't miss
somethin' that you've never had
so tell me, why
why i should feel so bad...

I've been waiting around all night
Your warm kiss is on my mind
A piece of you is all I've got
But the whole damn thing is what I want

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

Telephone is ringing by my bed
I pick it on up and the line goes dead
I splash summer water on my face
Clears my mind, I'm out of this place

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

My nerves are frayed and I've had enough
I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much
And I can't seem to stop at all
I'm plain wore through waiting for your call

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

Want you round here all the time
Just can't seem to shake you off my mind
My hands are tied...

All last summer, in case you don't recall,
I was yours and you were mine
Forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
That's sad enough to make you cry?
All the lines you wrote to me were lies

Months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
The things you said and did to me
They seem to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won
You give for free

Whispers at the bus stop
Well, I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you

Rumors follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know
Well you're famous now and there's no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and they know what you're about

Whispers at the bus stop
Well, I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you

Hey

Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on AM Radio
Well you know it's all I think about
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over I watch your lights go out

Whispers at the bus stop
Well, I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you

Whispers at the bus stop
Well, I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
I found out about you

I've lost my mind
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road

Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

Dark clouds fall in when the moon was near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There's no tellin' what I might find
I couldn't see I was lost at the time

On Allison Road

Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road

So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Allison Road

Now I can't hide (on Allison Road)
So why not drive (on Allison Road)
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Allison Road

And I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
And I went looking for an exit sign
All I wanted to find tonight

On Allison Road
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road

I've lost my mind
If the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

On Allison Road (On Allison Road)
Allison Road

Time won't stand by forever
If I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Else I'll seem the fool

29, you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
Cause when my lies may seem less than clever
It's when I fall for it

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifferent
Without a second look

There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted out hinges
Take 'em for a ride

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifferent
Without a second look

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Well, is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by
When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But it's lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side

Twelfth night, we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on when the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

It seems so distant
But still only half the night away
Where notions between your questions come too
Is it any wonder where
The pieces of the night have been

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

New York City where it's cold as hell
And the streetlights shone in my blue room
I was thinking about the nights we spent
Back in Galveston beneath the Georgia moon
It was early and I'd had my share
I was countin' change for a cab ride back to bed
She looked to me through the cold night air
And thoughts of you kicked off inside my head

Well she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you...

Though I loved you and the trust we shared
Lord don't tell me that I've thrown it all away
A moment's weakness shouldn't change the fact
That I need you and there's nothing more to say

Lord she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you
