Kids On The Street
04:18
|
|||
|
Everything's coming down on me
I don't know if I'll make it out
End of the world, it seems
I don't know what they're about
CHORUS:
There's kids on the street
Marching their feet
Where do they go?
I don't know
Someone said nothings for free
I can't stand to see another day
Oh, show me what I wanna be
Come at me cause I got nothing to say
CHORUS
Killing hopes of another life
Oh, If only they knew
There's a cry on the horizon
As the sky finally turns blue
CHORUS

Just So-So
03:06
|
|||
|
Lately I've been feeling out of touch
Like all I'm doing now just isn't enough
I try to do what the TV tells me to
But it seems impossible, too good to be true
What if I don't wanna fall in love?
What if I'm not supposed to grow up?
I can fall in love whenever I choose
Depending on the circumstances that I choose
CHORUS:
Whoa, I know
This world just ain't my own
And no, I won't go
This world just ain't my home
Don't wanna be just so-so
It's never fine just to be okay
So never listen to what the TV has to say
Do what you love, enjoy the day
Never stay in, come out and play
CHORUS

Perform A Lobotomy
03:31
|
|||
|
It's hard to see my heart through your eyes
But then why do I think I see others so well?
My human body is my own disguise
My brain has never made it to show and tell
CHORUS:
I can't let emotion rip me apart
If I let things grow, I'll be back at the start
If you really wanna know something about me
Open up my skull and perform a lobotomy
I don't wanna hurt you, you mean too much
But inner feelings are hard to make sense of
You need to know that I care, but not in that way
I try to feel it that way, but I can't force my love
CHORUS
|

4. |
Intimacy
04:42
|
|||
|
In every step down this street
The lights come accustom to me
And every couple walks a little slower
And every cliche becomes a little older
I think I'm getting closer
To nailing it down
CHORUS:
Intimacy in the air tonight
It's all you need, oh
Intimacy makes me feel alright
It sets you free, oh
Taken prisoner by the light
I see to my left and my right
That every lonely person starts to wander
And every broken heart begins to saunter
Every day, I just wonder
What'll change her mind?
CHORUS
Cheaply applied perfume
Wine and whining to make it through
That every night seems to get longer
And every conversation seems to lead nowhere
CHORUS
|

5. |
I'm Always Sincere
05:37
|
|||
|
I wanna live the unnatural life
When seeing is believing with kids and a wife
And it all comes down on me
So many lives to lead, but are any of them free?
PRECHORUS:
I don't care who's watching now
Keep it inside of my head until I let it out
CHORUS:
I know that you care
I'll stay true to myself, I swear
But if you listen to me here
You won't hear me anymore, my dear
Because I'm always sincere
I wanna live like nobody knows
Inside of my head, that's where it'll go
And it all is apparent to me
So many dreams to have, but none of them mean anything
PRECHORUS, then CHORUS
I wanna live the life that we crave
Something insane, maybe betrayed
CHORUS
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
So this is it
Guess it's done for a while
It won't be easy
Being away miles and miles
But I don't care about the distance
With you, my heart will stay
CHORUS:
Don't worry, time will carry on
I've got your letters
And you've got my song
When things. they ain't going right
I'll always remember
The start of something bigger will arise
I didn't know
All this would happen now
It just sorta came
It's a reality to grasp
But I don't care about discomfort
From you, I won't stray
CHORUS
|
||||
7. |
Communicate
03:39
|
|||
|
Back in the neighbourhood again
I'm the same old kid with the same old men
Still I crave a form of expression
Where nobody can hear my stressing
PRECHORUS:
Fooling with the motive to complain
I run on emotion and aspartame
Still I don't know what you're saying
For my own thoughts I am paying
CHORUS:
Communicate what you try to say
It's okay, I can wait, I'm just going insane
Fight for a head that can think in straight
Little lines on my face are the mark of my brain
Even though one time, I did you wrong
I hear you're still singing the same old song
And this is all you've got
One day it's gonna run out on you, babe
PRECHORUS, then CHORUS
Why don't you try some other way?
CHORUS
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
Remember when I used to be completely incomplete
It feels like some other age
Saturday nights, all that time spent in silence
I was thinking of you
And I know it may be a hard throw
But I know that you're there
And I'm there too
PRECHORUS:
It's all I ever wanted
Someone with love
CHORUS:
Like a forgotten dream
I'm lost out of time, it seems
Only in dreams
Like a disease, you're poisoning me, like a new born child
I'm coming to life
All questions asked, I wanna feel your beauty next to me
And the rest's in time
Love grows like the world
After the winter
Longing for signs
PRECHORUS, then CHORUS
|

9. |
Out Of Line
04:13
|
|||
|
I'm so caught in my love
I need help from above
My heart left on a string
And I'm giving everything
When I'm staring at my lifetime, I know I've been wrong
So I'm waving to my old self saying "So long"
Can't you see us riding on the shooting stars?
But tonight, I'm all alone in my car
CHORUS:
Singing ooooo
I'm running out of time
Need to make up my mind
Before my life goes out of line
From the start, I thought where could I go wrong?
I still remember the night I first heard that song
Is that me walking through the solar system neighbourhood?
I don't wanna break you, but my feelings say I should
CHORUS
I'm so caught in my love
I need help from above
My heart left on a string
And I'm giving everything
Someone else makes me feel
So good, but I can't steal
That love to give away
And I can't stay
Tonight
GUITAR SOLO, then CHORUS
I just want to make amends
Can we just be friends?

At Crossroads
04:33
|
|||
|
Been trying so hard to keep my emotions in line
It's hard not to feel useless with people on your back all the time
And I'm sorry to seem so angsty some days
When my daily goal is to stay awake
CHORUS:
I'm giving it my all right now
But every time I'm up, I get knocked down
I can't say I know which way to go
At crossroads
Sometimes I wish empathy was free
Maybe that way, there'd be more understanding of me
Making little songs as my diary
In the end, I'll see what it means
CHORUS
Oh, it's a long ride home
And oh, so many roads I could go
I'll follow the path I'm supposed to walk
Just show me the way, show me the way

Factory
06:09
|
|||
|
Life's knocking at your door
My soul says "just toe the line"
You gotta decide what you want more
Intensively, I see the signs
CHORUS:
Show me the way to go
All this baggage I tow
I'm not okay
I'm not going away
But I hope you understand when I say
My brain is a factory
My dreams are getting stranger still
So lucid, I might be awake
My impulses override my will
I wanna toss it in the lake
CHORUS
|
||||
12. |
She
03:54
|
|||
|
Am I allowed to look at her like that
Could it be wrong when she's just so nice to look at
CHORUS:
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep
She tastes like apple juice and peach
You would find her in a polaroid picture
And she means everything to me
I'd never tell
No I'd never say a word
And oh it aches
But it feels oddly good to hurt
CHORUS
And I'll be okay
Admiring from afar
Cause even when she's next to me
We could not be more far apart
Cause she tastes like birthday cake and storytime and fall
But to her
I taste of nothing at all
CHORUS
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
I was remembering all the times I seem to forget
When it brought me back to the time we first met
CHORUS:
Don't worry about the little things
Just leave it all to me
All this noise makes my ears ring
Just leave it all to me
Why did it all work out, it must've been a miracle
It's a stop and go of time and space and now we're feeling the pull
CHORUS

The Bay (Bonus Track)
02:59
|
|||
|
Keeping it in too long
Isn't all that wrong
You won't know what I've had on my mind
And it's more than you can handle, you'll find
CHORUS:
(And) I've had enough of this
I'm gonna throw it away
I raise up the loudest sound
When my problems sink into the bay
She's fifteen minutes away
From once again crossing my brain
It's an enigma in my mind
And the answers to it, I can't find
CHORUS
|
||||
15. |
Hot Dreams (Bonus Track)
04:53
|
|||
|
I wanna dance (x2)
I wanna dance with you, woman
I wanna steal (x2)
I wanna steal my mind
I want a chance (x2)
I want another chance
To distill
To distill their time
I wanna write (x3)
To someone so true
I wanna wake (x3)
From hot dreams, hot dreams of you
Oh, hot dreams
I wanna rise (x2)
I wanna rise up beside you
I want to be (x2)
I want to be a champion in your eyes
And I wanna follow through
Follow through on all my promises and threats to you, babe
Hot streams (x2)
Will fork and divide, fork and divide
I wanna take (x3)
Take all of your air
I wanna find (x3)
Another daydream, another nightmare
I wanna lie (x3)
Lie me down in your stream
I wanna wake (x3)
From hot dreams
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you, babe (x2)
