I kept talking to myself
I had to get the words out of my head (so I did)
You barely said a thing
You kind of heard me out and then you said (you said)

You're crazy, why do you keep doing this?
Everything is fine
Then I think I'm crazy, I do this all the time
Until I start to think that nothing's even wrong

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just a picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is

Sometimes your intentions are totally impossible to read
What does that mean?
Sometimes even I have no idea what I need
I wish I did

I'm crazy, why do I keep doing this?
Everything is fine
Then you think I'm crazy, I do this all the time
Until I start to think that something's really wrong

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just a picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is

Looking out my window at the big blue sky
Lazy sun is shining and so I run outside
To look for you, I look for you
And then it starts to rain

Maybe I am.. is that the way it really is?
Maybe we're just... a picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just a picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just a picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it

Maybe I don't wanna see it
Maybe I don't wanna see it
The way it really is (the way it really is)
The way it really is (the way it really is)

I was quiet, and I was tired. and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop, yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
You were wrong, and I was right. and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well, this is something that I shouldn't have to tell you.
We've shared humility and orange roses.
And poking fun at all our friends
They had their barbecues, we have our arguments.
We never can agree. 
You said, "when you don't talk you take it out on me." 
I was quiet, I was tired. and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop, yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
And you were wrong and I was right. and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well, this is something that I shouldn't have to tell you.
We took a ride, on a motorbike. I couldn't talk to you, but my arms
Were wrapped around you tight. we stopped at Smokey's,
We parked the bike outside. 
So scared to be sad, to keep the tears in 
And I looked up at the sky and took another ride.
I was quiet, and I was tired. and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop, yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
And you were wrong and I was right. and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well.
We had us, is that enough? and what is it worth to you?
We had us, is that enough? and what is it worth to you?
You said "it's worth everything and baby take a look, 
It's worth all the pennies in my pocket."
But I was quiet, and I was tired. and I wanted you to bring me up.
I wanted you to make it stop, yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
I was quiet, and I was tired. and I wanted you to bring me up.
Hmmm you know me well, this is something that I shouldn't 
Have to tell you. 
I was quiet, and I was tired. and I wanted you to bring me up 
I wanted you to make it stop, yeah I wanted you to bring me up.
So I was wrong and you were right.

I like things that are so good. you are so so good.
I like you. but I am the underdog, I am the last in line. 
Don't be the enemy, don't stand in back of me.
Freezing, boring, wondering where I'll be on my birthday.
You kissed me in a dream last night, how could I 
I wouldn't know, 'cause I am the underdog.
I am the last in line. 
Don't be the enemy, don't stand in back of me.
Will you be my friend? 
Now I understand, that I more than like you.
I am the underdog I am the last in line. 
Don't be the enemy, don't stand in back of me.
Lalala da-dah
I am the underdog. I am the last in line. 
Don't be the enemy, don't stand in back of me.
I am the underdog. I am the last in line. 
Don't be the enemy, don't be the enemy.
Hmmmmmm

Goodbye my love, I am going. I am slowing you down. 
I can feel you stop breathing, when I come around. 
I'm slowing you down
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back and just stands in my way.
Goodbye my love, you don't get me
You don't let me inside
You once kept me close, when you wanted to hide
You pulled me in close, just to push me aside, goodbye.
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back just to stand in my way.
Goodbye my love, I'm going away.
I know you won't follow me far.
Once I went out, just to look at the stars.
I asked you to join me, but you were too tired.
I wanted you, to see them too. 
Why did I let myself need you?
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Goodbye my love, I am going
I am slowing you down. I can feel you stop breathing when I come around.
I'm slowing you down.
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Who do you think you are?
You're talking so loud
You bury the sound
Of your heart that's singing out

And where do you want to be?
On the top of your world
But you're just a girl
Who forgot what it's like to dream

Leave everything behind
But you're so tired 
One day you might open up your eyes to find

[Chorus]
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know

You try to hide between the lines
Of a story never told
But I've seen you run away
You're afraid of the fall
The weight of it all is too much

But you might change your mind
If you'd stand up one day
You might open up your eyes to find

[Chorus]

La da da da... [x5]

How do you keep it up?
It's all just a front
A dangerous stunt
You're gonna come down soon enough

Open up your eyes
Don't be scared 
You might find you had it all the time

What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you tried so hard to hide
It was there between the lines
Of the story never told
Of someone you should know

What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be

I walked away to get wisdom
But in the end I just walked home
And it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again

It was the same song and it's making me sad
Cause I think that it's happened
And it hasn't been had
And it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again

And I'm injured again
Yeah it's sick and I'm sucked in
Yeah I'm at it again
It's sick and I'm sucked in
It's sick and I'm sucked in

Cause I had some things so dear
Slip away and leave me here
And it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
Yeah, it drops me, drops me down

If I hold my breath
If I shut my eyes
If I disappear
Just for the afternoon

If I can't help shouting
If I lock you out
If it's not important
Completely unimportant
To anyone else but me

[Chorus]
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow

If I interrupt and 
If I cut you off and
If I like attention
Other worse things I could mention

[Chorus x 2]

But if you make a mistake
We're through

[Chorus x 2]

Oh wow.

Yes are complicated I know
It's just my way but
If is a question

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

We sit on our couch
While we watch our TV
And the phone doesn't ring
And it's perfect

To be here playing house
Is no comfort to me
It's just more of the same
Again and again and again

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

Trying so hard 
To dig ourselves out
Cause we're stuck and we're scared
And we're thinking
Things have to change
It's the thoughts that don't count
Can something be done?
Don't let this decision drag on

We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going

We need a big push
To reach the right conclusion
So we can get there
If we're really going
If we're really going
Let's go.

We need a quick solution
We need a next step
To reach the right conclusion
We need a kick start

She's got a boyfriend
All of a sudden
She's never had one before
She's looking for the thumbs-up
When they're walking through the door

She's showing him off
By making him talk
She's putting his hand in his pocket
It shows on her face
What she doesn't say
What she doesn't say

[Chorus]
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all

She doesn't know that we know
That we've been here before
We always pay attention
When she walks through the door
It's the clothes that she chooses
It's the words that she uses

[Chorus]

She's trying hard to pretend
That it's not really happening
But we can see her smiling from afar 
We don't see her much anymore
But we can hear her whistling
As she walks to her car

Is this how it ends, laying in bed
Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever, they wanted to know how could I leave you. 
I can't tell them that. it might sound like revenge.
Some things don't need a payback. some things are sure, some things
You can't feel safe about. where do I start?
I was waiting for my head to clear up. I thought I was smart
I'd find the answers in time. 
But the answers I find, aren't what you want to hear. they're not even close.
Some things don't need a payback. some things are sure
Some things you can' t feel safe about.
Some things don't need a clear up.
You got that? 
I remember good things like the van breaking down.
I sat on your lap in the auto repair and you touched my hair.
While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside.
Don't take revenge. just let it lie. 
The easiest thing, is if you just let it die.
Don't give me a chance. You don't owe me that.
Don't follow me out, I'll think your coming for some payback
Some things don't need a payback. some things are sure
Some things you can't feel safe about.
Some things don't need a clear up. You got that?
Why did I leave? How long did it take? It could take forever
Some things don't need a payback

Driving I was...thinking
You're my flat tire
Too late at night in the pitch black, out of sight
And too fast driving
And too fast driving 
And too fast driving

Driving I was...thinking
You're my flat tire
Not a blow out, but a screeching halt, lots of ice, no salt
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving

Don't want to think about how much, and what's the limit
Don't want to think about the limit and am I in it
Am I in it?
Am I in it?
Am I in it?
Am I in it? 

Driving I was...thinking
You're my flat tire
You're gonna crash, you're stupid loud
You're reckless, you're spinning out
And too fast driving
And too fast driving

They pull up their chairs to the table
She stares at the food on her plate
At the toast and the butter
Her father, her mother, she pushes away

And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart

She gets home from school too early
And closes the door to her room
There's nothing inside her
She's weak and she's tired of feeling like this

And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart

They call her for dinner, she makes up a reason
She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves
And her mother is starting to see through her lies
And last night her father had tears in his eyes

And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart

And we rise in the morning
And we sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking

Have you ever looked me in the eye?
Have you ever told the truth
Come on don't lie
Have you ever tried to know me better?
Better than you do

Bitch and moan
Away from home
I sit and stare stare
At the phone
Do you wait for it to ring?
Do you wait for it to ring?
Come on tell me the truth
Is that your thing?

Come on look me in the eye
Tell the truth
Come on don't lie
Have you ever tried to know me better?
Better than you do

Do you demand a single thing?
I feel so selfish even asking
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I'm asking?
Oh won't you lavish me
Be fancy

Come on look me in the eye
Tell the truth
Come on don't lie
Have you ever tried to treat me better?
Better than you do

Look me in the eye
Look me in the eye

I can't believe I am surprised
After all this time
I think you'd know my eyes
Never thought of myself as a bleeder
But I leech on to you
What could be sweeter?
Pie, of course
But what could be worse?

That you don't look me in the eye
Look me in the eye
Look me in the eye
