My forehead’s splitting, I can feel a separation.
And me, here, full of life, waiting for that magic conversation.
That’s why I thought that you should see her.
She’ll tell our future.
Don’t believe her.
Did you ask about love and forever
or did you ask her for her number.
I didn’t go to the psychic myself 
cause she didn’t even know that I was 
out of town 
when I called
out of town
when I called.
I did that sitting on the bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallway, sitting on the bedroom floor.
I did that.
I did that. 
I did that.
I did that.
I used to win at cakewalks on a Sunday afternoon,
stop on Lucky 11.
We’d bring the cake home, in the back seat, in the station wagon.
Such a strange prize.
I did that sitting on a bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I smile, I show my teeth.
I smile, I show my teeth.
I make space.
I make space.
I lay back.
I lay back.
We were empty tonight.
We talked about the television.
Only I was talking, only I was talking.
Is this a future disaster? -Full of omens?
I don’t believe in fate.
We talk about about a bad sign.
I think about a cut off date.
So I memorized your kiss 
I memorized your lips
I memorized your kiss
I memorized your lips.
I did that,
sitting on a bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor.
I did that.
Sitting on a bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor.
Are you my cake?
Is this my fate?
What a strange prize
I want to taste.

. . .



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

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


. . .



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

. . .



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.

Waiting for the super buzz, the second dose, the inspiration,
but something strange is going on.
I'm in the middle of another stupid conversation.
I can't believe so many days have gone by since I tried to talk to you,
but something strange is going on.
I've got both sides of it and I'm waiting for the other one to come. 
(where's the messenger?)
You're too late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he's done something wrong, and he's gonna have to pay.
Late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he begs to be beside you?
Off and running.
It's stunning, you're caught off guard.
You feel forgotten, afraid of, in the dark.
This fixer upper's not my idea of what you should be after,
not much laughter when you're penciled in.
Sometimes the sun isn't bright enough in your apartment, the sun.
You have to lean towards the lamp, to get anything done.
But you're too late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he's done something wrong, and he's gonna have to pay.
Late, great,
What am I supposed to say?

. . .



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

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

. . .



We used to be best friends
Hanging out in the parking lot 
like the day would never end.
You came up with all the plans
I'll be waiting by my window,
In your brother's car you've come to rescue me
cause I need you to
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't.
We used to dream all day.
Play guitar like a rock and roll star
Sing along while the record played
‘round and ‘round and ‘round
we would never come down
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
Let me go
If I'm the one you're holding on to
Let me go
cause after all this time I know that I'm the one who can't let go.
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
repeat chorus
We used to be best friends.
Hanging out in the parking lot like the day would never end.
