- bad friends
I sit and stare at my shoes
I sit and stare at the wall
I watch the plains fly north overhead
I will say nothing at all
I'll sing a song of silence
I'll sing no song at all
And in this time of waking
- Falling Away
They say it's good for the heart
They say it's good for the mind
They say the people we love, we leave behind
They say it's torture and pain
They say it's freedom again, do we know now?
They say it's people we know
They say it's fractions and wholes
They say it's pushing a stone up a hill to let it roll
- Got It, Lost It
think you caught it
think you got it
think you lost what you had
will never get back to you
why this hurt inside my head?
nothing can keep you
throw it back instead
why this pain inside my heart?
- Leaving Home
Stay awake. Life's like a blink of the eye
Breathe in. I feel the weight as the words they tumble down
Brace yourself. Your life's about to change, how you don't even know
But change is hard to deal with when all I feel is how I miss you now
As you sit there crying on the phone
It's funny how a goodbye is the only way to really say
I love you.
- Luck Now
You see my love is no formal position
You say my love is just cold repetition re-done
I fear that I'm another acquisition
I fear that I'm now just pure imposition my love
You see that I'm losing the heart
You see that I'm losing more heart every day
I remember the heat at the start
Then the sound of my feet as I walk on my way
- The Opposite Of Us
You say you want my love, then I'm a believer
You reach out your hand to me then I'm gonna hold it
You fill my eyes with your smiles, my brain with your chemicals
I forgot to say, forgot to say
Gotta say something dumb anyway
And everything is the lay that gets in between us
And every kiss is a count in time to the next one
This time we'll run to the sheets and really, baby
- Thinking About You
You were a hard faced kid
That was new on the block
And a lone life force
That nobody could stop
You had a mind of black and gold
And every shade in between
You were a paper back boy
