Альбом Relient K

Leaving
May not be coming home
Needing
To know I'm not alone
Even
Though I can't feel a thing
Taking
Time to get over it
Making
The best of what won't quit
Breaking me down I can't feel a thing

Where do I go
Where do I stand
Where can I find myself again
Where do I go
If not disappear
Where do I go from here?

Tracing
My steps right back to you
Racing
The clock to save an hour or two
And facing
The fact I don't feel a thing
I'm dealing
With what I can't control
Feeling
Confused cause I don't know if healing
Is when you don't feel a thing

Where do I go
Where do I stand
Where can I find myself again
Where do I go
If not disappear
Where do I go from here?

Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh, and I still can't feel a thing

So here it is, it's just me
A different drummer but the same old beat.
It seems like everything is gonna be just fine
Cause I'm having a good time
As long as I’m' staying true to myself
The Out isn't something I can sell
And I can sleep at night without your help it's fine
Cause I'm having a good time

The scene and herd
Seem to make it all just a little bit worse
And I don't wanna go down that road
Oh no, no, no.
The scene and herd
I'll be the first to tell you I’m worse
but I don't wanna go down that road
Oh no

And odds are that you probably
Magically got this song for free
And I'm not sure if it bothers me it seems fine
Cause I'm having a good time
And if the path I take to validate
Everything I do means everything I create
Is knocking on the door of everything I hate I'll decline
Cause I'm having a good time

The scene and herd
Seem to make it all just a little bit worse
And I don't wanna go down that road
Oh no, no, no.
The scene and herd
I'll be the first to tell you I’m worse
but I don't wanna go down that road
Oh no

Well everyone’s got something on their mind
And this is my thought at this present time
I'm gonna say what I want, it might not be what you want to hear
Oh, oh, oh.

The scene and herd
Block out the sun like a flock of birds
And I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go

I'm so tired of the phone baby
I don't like the tone of the way we
Say I love you a thousand times
We say those words
But we can't look into each other's eyes

Oh and I guess we made it
Or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh and in a future day there may be waves
But I must say the skies
Have never looked so clear
Oh and I guess we made it
Cause it ain't far to go from here

I'm so tired of the road baby
Driving through the snow and just maybe
You'll sit back think about the times
When we said those words
And we looked into each other's eyes

Oh and I guess we made it
Or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh and in a future day there may be waves
But I must say the skies
Have never looked so clear
Oh and I guess we made it
Cause it ain't far to go from here

You have given me a heart attack
You'll never know
Whats its like to have to face the fact
You might let go
And I won't stand for any thought of that
Heaven's no
Cause I will cling to you
And always have a stronger hold

Oh and I guess we made it
Or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh and in a future day there may be waves
But I must say the skies
Have never looked so clear to me baby

Oh and I guess we made it
Cause it ain't far to go from here

Live a life of privilege
Pushing back the last, the lost
The least of these
To dull the edge of conscience
With conceit

Live a life and see the world
Feel its weight on the shoulders
Of the least of these
It spins a twirls
Without rest or relief

We all, We all wear diginty
It covers the strong, the weak
We all, We all wear diginty
Even the last, the lost, the least

Step into a spacious place
Where pride and right will give way to
The least of these
To know the face
Of who a man can be

We all, We all wear diginty
It covers the strong, the weak
We all, We all wear diginty
Even the last, the lost, the least

His image shown
When we give our lives, our time, our own
To feed, to clothe
Those in his image we have left alone

We all, We all wear diginty
It covers the strong, the weak
We all, We all wear diginty
Even the last, the lost, the least

We all, We all wear diginty
God help the blind like me
Finding at last a voice we cry
And see with clear, unblinking eyes

I found my new black shoes
while cleaning out the bones left in my closet
They were there with the bad excuse
Bon Voyage

And I found a backup plan
I'm grateful that I didn't have to use it
but it's made up of real good friends
Bon Voyage

Isn't it nice to know that the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know that we're golden

I found a list of flaws
That I saw in myself and other people
And I threw it away because
Bon Voyage

Isn't it nice to know that the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know that we're golden oh oh
Isn't it nice to know that the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know that we're golden
Yeah we're golden oh

When it all falls apart and you can't see
The forest for the cemeteries
Oh oh oh
Isn't it nice to
Isn't it nice to know
Isn't it nice to
Isn't it nice to know
Isn't it nice to know that the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know that we're golden oh oh
Isn't it nice to know that the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know that we're golden
Yeah we're golden oh

I found a love in me
I always somehow knew that it existed
It just needed to be set free
Bon Voyage
Isn't it nice to know
Isn't it nice to know
Isn't it nice to know

For a time I thought there was a thief among us
I thought I'd track him down but prior to my pursuit
The smoke it cleared into my disbelief
There was no thief
'Cuz it was me that lost you

There was no thief
'Cuz it was me that lost you

I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you

And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid 'cuz you were so much better than me

I can't see you
Getting used to
Living in the midst of your perfection
And I'm so lost
How can you trust
Somewhere the sun is always shinin'

Oh

And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid 'cuz you were so much better than me

I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back.

I can't find no inspiration
Nothing that keeps me up at night
I wanna give you satisfaction
so they dont say whats wrong or right
someone please tell me
just what is mistaken
listen to the sound of the beat not stoppin
no reaction no reaction
looking at the chart but nothings toppin
no reaction no reaction
listen to the sound of the regay droppin
no reaction no reaction
lookin at the mouth and the jaw's not talkin
no reaction no reaction
lookin at the mouth and the jaws not talkin

I don't like the steps I took to get to look into your deepest feelings
But I don't like the place I'm in hits space within the heart will never sealin
'Cause if I'm restless then why do, I want nothing but to rest my soul
and i dont get this and i know why
you see sometimes things are just beyond control
but i dont mind, but im not surprised to find
that you do im not surpised to find that you do
i know you do, and i feel fine
but i know the sayin does not apply to you
i know the saying does not apply to you
so i guess that ill curl up and die to
klinging to the remenice of prefection like most do after they break it
not knowing which direction is the correct one do i discard or remake it
cause if i dont know then i dont know
but i may know someone who knows me more than i
and if i some how could rest this soul
maybe control could find its way back to my life
but i dont mind and im not suprised
to find that you do see i know that i have done all this to you to you
and i feel fine but i know this saying does not apply to you
yeah i know the saying does not apply to you
so i guess that ill curl up and die to
yeah ill curl up with you
until i die with you
yeah ill curl up with you
until i die with you
yeah ill curl up with you
until i die with you
yeah ill curl up with you my baby yeah my darlin
until i die with you
yeah ill curl up with you until i die with you....

I wish I knew you way back when
Before you were part of my plans
I think that we would have been friends

There's only time to live our lives
And you'll be the one who's by my side
And I can promise you that
You'll always be my best friend

'Til the end when we part
I will give you my heart
And I promise to love you
With all that it is
And I promise to be there
Whenever you need me
Because you'll always be my best friend

You'll always be my best friend (You'll always be my best friend)
You'll always be my best friend (You'll always be my best friend)
You'll always be my best friend

I know that I've come a long way
My heart's had it in the right place
But sometimes I pass hard to face
And I know you

There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you

Slept the highlands and waves
I wondered if I could be soft
But I have emerged scathed
Because I know you

There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you

Before I knew you
Before I could see
That you could take all my troubles from me
Before I knew you
I was so cold

There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you

There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you

Everyone was beaming
Everyone, everywhere
And Scottie did lots of the work
And I said beaming
I'm Scottie
Can I get a cup of coffee
And the internet it still doesn't work
I said whoa-oa-oa-oa
You know we're beaming
I said whoa-oa-oa-oa
You know we're beaming
I said whoa-oa-oa-oa
You know we're beaming

Alright

I'm a human being
Being happy and sane
Oh but human beings
We all need to quit
Being inhumane

Yeah I don't want to say I'm right
I just want you to know
I don't want to say I'm right
I just want you to know

I've a reputation
For replacing
My confidence with fear
But I'll be untiringly embracing
The love that I have found to be sincere

I don't want to say I'm right
I just want you to know
I don't want to say I'm right
I just want you to know

To know that
There was a man who lived one day
With holes in his hands as some do say
And I believe we'd be friends if we talked and prayed
So we do
That's right we do

I don't want to say I'm right
'Cause I just want you to know
I don't want to say I'm right
I just want you to know

I don't want to say I'm right
'Cause I just want you to know
I don't want to say I'm right
'Cause I just want you to know
I just want you to know
I just want you to know

I'll watch you wind on down the string
and settle to the ground
I'll give my little hand a yank
and then you'll come back 'round

Just like you and me babe
You're the yo yo
I'm the hand
well say you'll be my baby
and I swear I'll be your man

Yesterday was not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today with every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more

Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what's gone wrong
That the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I'm finally catching on to it
Yeah the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is where I'll be

Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of
Yeah I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me
For you

To be prosperous would not require much of me
You see, contentment is all that it entails
To be content with where I am, and getting where I need to be
And moving past the past where I have failed

For you never cease to supply
Me with with what I need for a good life
So when I'm down I'll hold my head up high
Cause you're the reason why, yeah you're why

I wish I could innovate
And try to streatch your minds
Cuz often times, when guys like me
Do that they leave themselves behind
To clean the mess, quick to impress
A little bit of everyone
But to innovate, Is a mistake
Cuz there's nothin new under the sun

BRIDGE
Cuz we're all gettin tired of the media
Cuz it tries to hard to make you like something
Cuz we're all gettin tired of the media
Cuz creatings nothing new it's just recycling

CHORUS
Wit, wits all been done before
Yeah we do something to death
Then we dig it up just to do it some more

In all my lines, the warning signs
But not all with dead ends
And I'm not sure, the clever words
All sit well with my friends
I will not just sit and watch
Antother victim fall
I'll just have to do what my god tells me to
And hope that you will buy it all

BRIDGE
CHORUS X2

Originality is a ghost town
And its oh so hard to get to and when you do
Then people start to hate you
You scream that you believe out loud in a crowd people eill hate you
Cuz repetition's just so safe, repetitions's just like prison
And i prefer to be out of place cuz I'm not really into prison

CHORUS
BRIDGE
CHORUS X2

To the best, to the best of our knowledge we
Are doing are best to fight technology
'Cause back when our parents were in college we
Weren't even born and neither were CD's
'Cause when our folks listened to their rock & roll
They'd gather round and play it on their turntables
These days their records are worthless
'Cause DJ's scratch their records on purpose

So let's put this in a perspective
For the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is
Cause they just burn the mp3's
Onto their stacks of blank CD's
And during all that arsony
Their records stay right in their sleeves

It's all the same with all the kids
'Cause no one knows what vinyl is

'Cause these days kids, they are so ignorant
They have no clue what to do with their 7 inch
They say, "It won't play, it's my CD player's fault!"
I'll take it to the park and play some Frisbee golf
So, give me side A, give me side B
It really doesn't make any difference to me
I tried to burn it like all the CD's I get
What the heck is all this melted plastic mess?!

So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is
Cause they just burn the mp3's
Onto their stacks of blank CD's
And during all that arsony
Their records stay right in their sleeves

It's all the same with all the kids
'cause no one knows what vinyl is

So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is

Now for the question
It just won't go away
So what are we
Gonna do today
Cuz it seems like
For the last four years
We've had far much
Less of a say
I know I always come out
Like a pessimist
But there is always something else
That's leading up to this
Chris used to come
To all the local shows
Back when the days were simpler

CHORUS
Do you remember
those days are gone but Chris is not
And now he's got the air
And in fact along with that
He's developed a severe disliking for
for the band
I don't like, how it seems like
Anything he sings is always
For the band
I don't like, how it seems like
Anything he sings is
For the band

So don't think I'm going to
Sit and complain
When there's so many
Good things left to say
But watch closely
As i refrain
From forgetting who I am Along the way

CHORUS

She sat me down and said to me
I think you've misplaced your identity
Cuz what you do isn't all of who
You really are

Cuz everyday is just the same to me
We'll play it sloppily
We're singing out of key
Cuz everyday is just the same to me
We'll play it sloppily
We're singing out of key

CHORUS

Let's talk about the way things were
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll deliver what's expected of me
Let's make believe we're all okay
You better just pretend
We're doing better
Than we've ever been
I think it's safe to say
That we've forgotten what regret's worth

Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance

We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Unmask ourselves
And we'll find...

We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You

I've given up on acting
Like I'm perfect
I advise you all
To do the same
Perfection's rare
So the last time I checked
We've all been introduced
To feeling ashamed
Let's talk about the way things were
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll turn my back
As soon as God lets me

Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance

We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Cause when we try it alone
Then we find...

We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(And it's been brought to my attention
That nothing's really worth the mention)
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(When me and You, subtract the latter
Equals nothing really matters)

You make me sure, in the midst
Of heartbreak and turbulence
That my spirit soars
Only because it's Yours

We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(And it's been brought to my attention
That nothing's really worth the mention)
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(When me and You, subtract the latter
Equals nothing really matters)

We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You

Well Brian and me well,
We both agree that,
That penny loafers are absurd,
'Cause I don‘t know why on earth,
You would take you two cents worth,
And stick them in your girly shoes,
And Dave replied well after all,
Why not at least use quarters,
So then you can make a phone call,

Its finally time, time for our victory lap,
Assemble the B, just one left turn,
The matchbox tires spin out on the welcome mat,
And the firemen are tired men,
Who cant put out the rug burn,
And they say,

Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
So that you can dream of destinations
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
While all the while you're singing good vibrations,

You're singing good vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, we both agree
You're singing, good, good, good, good, mmm hmm hmm hmm

Five Iron Frenzy
They were good,
They were good,
They were really really really good.
Five Iron Frenzy
If going to see them,
We really really think you should
Thank them for being
So cool and so awesome
Yeah, thank them
For being so neat-o
Look at their teeth
And tell them to floss them
I think Reese is wearing a speedo.

^ this is a song that's on their 7" Vinyl Record "The Vinyl Countdown"
of which only 1,500 were made. it is now out of print.
back to my point- it's dedicated to one of the greatest bands of all time.

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind
But I will shy away from the specifics

Cause I dont want you to know where I am
Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been
This is no place to try and live my life

Stop right there
Thats exactly where I lost it
See that line
Where I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
Where I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to make sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

I talk to absolutely no one
Couldn't keep to myself enough
And the things bottled inside
Have finally begun to create so much pressure
That I'd soon blow up and

I heard the reverberating foosteps
Sinking up to the beating of my heart
And I was positive that unless I got myself together
I would watch me fall apart

And I can't let that happen again
Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been
This is no place to try and live my life

Stop right there
Thats exactly where I lost it
See that line
I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

Stop right there
Thats exactly where I lost it
See that line
Where I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
Where I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to make sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me
Who I am hates who I've been
Cause who I've been only ever made me

I'm sorry for the person I became
So sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to make sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

Woahoo believe me I have tried
to work this out from my inside
Then I finally realized I
Just need to move on with my life
Gotta make something of it
Not just sit around an wait for it
This place is like a prison
I think I’m going to make a brake for it

Woahoo here I go
Its like I’m living for the first time
Woahoo here I go
I think it is the first time I felt alive

I’ve been suppressed I’ve been let down
Been pushed aside been pushed around
There is only one thing I need and
that’s something you can’t take from me

Gotta make something of it
Not just sit around an wait for it
This place is like a prison
I think I’m going to make a brake for it

Woahoo here I go
Its like I’m living for the first time
Woahoo here I go
I think it is the first time I felt alive
Woahoo here I go
Its like I’m living for the first time
Woahoo here I go
I think it is the first time I felt alive


Move out move on
If you blink then I’m gone
I’ve only got one life to live
I’ll live it now

You have you doubt
I’ll prove them wrong
This is the only thing I know
So here I go

Woahoo here I go
Its like I’m living for the first time
Woahoo here I go
I think it is the first time I felt alive
Woahoo here I go
Its like I’m living for the first time
Woahoo here I go
I think it is the first time I felt alive

I got in a fight with the stenographer
Afterwards she read me like a book
I had tried to get alone with her
But my temperament was quickly over her

On the weekends we can
sneak into this courtroom
And you'll offer me
some sort of bargain plea

Yeah ???? junior was a son of a gun
He pressed his nose up to my head
Yeah I was sweatin' bullets but I dodged the one
It was not as much sweat as was bled

Oh I still love you
Oh I still love you with all I know that you want me dead
And when I turn my other cheek
I will beg and I'll plead
at this time we might just kiss it instead

Cause this my story
and like the glue on the binding I'm sticking to it
If you want to implore me;
change my tune well I just won't do it

Cause this my story
and like the glue on the binding I'm sticking to it
If you want to implore me;
change my tune well I just won't do it

If it hurts kiss it better
You wear skirts I write nice letters
Never said nothing with flowers
Though we always talked for hours
And it seems to get much colder when you cry on your own shoulder
And we know the show must go on
Guess I know I guess I'll throw on

[Chorus]
Some Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed
But I won't complain i'll open all the windows [x2]
Cause when it's colder I feel much better when I cry on my own shoulder
Just throw on a sweater and go

And I'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
And when i'm home i think i'll go eat cereal and stare out the window


I'll make the calls you cover your ears
Niagra Falls still flows on New Year's
I will save your plunging neckline
Kiss your face, you try to deck mine
If I behave it's gonna cost him
Skip the rave in downtown Boston
And we know the show must go on
Guess I know I guess I'll throw on

[Chorus]

And I'll go to undergo a surgery to purge me of this lonely mood
And my ego, the status quo, provides me with a decent attitude
And i'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
And when i'm home, i think i'll go eat cereal and stare out the window

Cause you confuse me more than anyone
An adjustment has begun
To let me feel the desperate need to leave what we undid undone
And maybe you could sympathize
With the bags under my eyes
And we'll see the signs are saying that we have used up all our (tries)
Try to be a better person
To be a better friend
To be a better son
He tries to be a better someone
That understands the difference
And that he cant show all the people all the things that really mean as much as could (feel)
Feels like i dont remember
Ever being this tired (before)
Before now my eyes were closed to all of the beauty of this world

[Chorus]

And i'll go to undergo a surgery to purge me of this lonely mood
And my ego, the status quo, provides me with a decent attitude
And i'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
And i'll go, oh yes
I'll go and hope the new me shows so everybody knows
that i've found myself able to fly away without magic feathers or jefferson aero planes
I've got with me all that i need

As you push it up through the soil
I will shake your filthy hand,
You may be dead to me
But that don't mean we can't be friends
And now it's time to get over this lawn
Cause it's clear you understand
That I will never trust a single thing you say again

(bridge)
Because the judge of you is someone I could never be
Is why you should thank the Lord that it is him,
and it's not me

(chorus)
Don't give up,
its not the end
There's hope for every
Fallen man
To pick themselves up
When they think they can
Because with every passing second
comes a second chance
O-o-oh,

You stole so much from me and there is nothing left to take
Save a hard-learned lesson on how to not make the same mistake
And you may be delirious,
But that is something that will fade
After you confess that this mess is all something that you've made

(bridge)

(chorus)

(chorus2)
Don't give up,
It's not the end
You'll get back on your feet again,
Forgiveness can be given when you think it can
Because with every passing second comes a second chance O-o-oh,

Cause with every passing second comes a second chance,

Take a good look at yourself and know,
You've got yourself a ways to go,
But difficult is not impossible,
You can take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see,
That youґll have learned eventually
As long as your heart is not too far gone
From the only thing that can save you from yourself...

Forgiveness can be given when you think it can,
Cause with every passing second comes a second chance...

(chorus)
