FEEL

What you want
what you got
live you life in a crawlspace
I help you out
but you don't
want a chance at a better life
you said you never took a ride
and now you wanna play
well it's a big big city
let me show you around
sometime

Refrain:
And now
you crossed that line
you can't come back
tell me how does it feel now
too late
too much to forget about
can't stop now
how does it feel now
I'm only asking
because I wanna know
how you wanna feel

I'm a wreck
I'm a mess
I'm a spot on the pavement
I'm a number on your wall
I'll make you soul tired
and I don't think I like this game
no more
it goes around and round and round
you take it one more time
one more time

Refrain (2x)

DISEASE

Feels like you made a mistake
you made somebody's heart break
but now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

You left a stain
on every one of my good days
but I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one's ever turned you over
no one's tried
to ever let you down
beautiful girl bless your heart

Refrain:
I got a disease
deep inside me
makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you, tell me
what am I s'posed to do about it
keep your distance from it
don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you're making a mess
you're hell on wheels in a black dress
you drove me to the fire
and left me there to burn

Every little thing you do is tragic
all my life before was magic
beautiful girl I can't breathe

Refrain

I think that I'm sick
but leave me be
while my world is coming down on me
you tase like honey, honey
tell me can I be your honeybee
be strong
keep telling myself
that it won't take long 'till
I'm free of my disease

Refrain

I think that I'm sick
but leave me be
while my world is coming down on me
you tase like honey, honey
tell me can I be your honeybee
be strong
keep telling myself
that it won't take long 'til
I'm free of my disease

BRIGHT LIGHTS

She got out of town
on a railway New York bound
took all except my name
another alien on broadway

There's some things in this world
you just can't change
some things you can't see
until it gets too late

Refrain:
Baby, baby, baby
when all your love is gone
who will save me
from all I'm up against out in this world
maybe, maybe, maybe
you'll find something
that's enough to keep you
but if the bright lights don't receive you
you can turn yourself around
and come on home

I got a hole in me now
yeah I got a scar I can talk about
she keeps a picture of me
in her apartment in the city
some things in this world
they yet don't make sense
some things you don't need
until they leave you
and they're things that you miss

Refrain

Let that city take you in
let that city spit you out
let that city take you down
for God's sake turn around

Refrain

UNWELL

All day
staring at the ceiling making
friends with shadows on my wall
all night
hearing voices telling me
that I should get some sleep
because tomorrow might be good
for something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
breakdown
And I don't know why

Refrain:
I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
but stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
a different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
but soon enough you're gonna think of me
and how I used to be me

Talking to myself in public
and dodging glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
and it makes me think there must be something wrong
with me
out of all the hours thinking
somehow
I've lost my mind

Refrain

I've been talking in my sleep
pretty soon they'll come to get me
they'll be taking me away

Refrain
top






COLD

I will do without
the spaces in between
if you can tell me now
what it means to be
you have been found out
I have been deceived
by the one that I need

Refrain:
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
how'd you get so high
why you keeping me low
you don't know
tell me how we're gonna make it last
you're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
don't go

You will go without
the better part of me
there will be no doubt
what this all could mean
you will be found out
I can not believe
in the one that I need

Refrain (2x)

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
tell me anything about you I don't know
tell me how we're gonna make it last
you're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
don't go

ALL I NEED

Everywhere someone's getting over
everybody cries and sometimes
you can still lose even if you really try
talking 'bout the dream like the dream is over
talk like that won't get you nowhere
everybody's trusting in the heart
like the heart don't lie

Refrain:
And that's all that I need, yeah
someone else to cling to, yeha
someone I can lean on until
I don't need to
just stay all through the night
and in the morning let me down
cuz that's all that I need right now

Everywhere someone's getting over
everybody's lied to someone
people still use other people
with a crooked smile
and all around the world
there's a sinking feeling
out there right now
someone's really
down on themselves
and don't know why

Refrain

Life ain't no
beauty show
we don't know where tomorrow ends
and when we're sad
it's kind of a drag
top






HAND ME DOWN

Someday they'll find our small town world
on a big town avenue
gonna make you like the way they talk
when they're talking to you
gonna make you break out of your shell
cuz they tell you to
gonna make you like the way they lie
better than the truth
they'll tell you everything
you wanted someone else say
they're gonna break your heart

Refrain:
From what I've seen
you're just one more hand me down
cuz no one's tried to give you
what you need
so lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Somebody oughta take you in
try make you love again
try to make you like the way they feel
when they're under your skin
never once do you think that they would lie
when they're holding you
then you wonder why they haven't called
when they said they'd call you
you'll start to wonder
if you're ever gonna make it by
you'll start to think
you were born blind

Refrain

I'm here for the hard times
the straight to your heart times
when living ain't easy
you can stand up against me
and maybe rely on me
and cry on me, yeah
Oh no, no, no

Some day they'll open up your world
shake it down on a drawing board
do their best to change you
they still can't erase you

Refrain

Lay them down on me
oh yeah
you're just one more hand me down
and all those nots don't give you what you need
so lay all your troubles down...on me
top






COULD I BE YOU

Something is wrong
with the sum of us
that I can't seem to erase
how can I be
the only one
without a smile on my face
when now

Refrain:
You're laughing out loud
at just the thought of being alive
and I was wondering
could I just be you tonight

You show your pain
like it really hurts
and I can't even
start to feel mine
and I'm standing in place
with my head first
and I shake, I shake
and I see your progress
stretched out for miles
and miles

Refrain

This is the sound that I make
these are the words I chose
but somehow the right thing to say
just won't come out
just won't come out

Refrain

And I was wondering
could I just be you tonight

DOWNFALL

I wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
if I could go back
would you have ever been with me
I want you to be uneased
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side

Refrain:
Come on and
lay it down
I've always been with you
here and now
give all that's within you
be my savior
and I'll be your downfall

Here we go again
ashamed of being broken in
we're getting off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad

Refrain

Yeah, be my savior
(Only love can save us now)
(Don't lay me down)
(Only love can save us now)
I'll be your downfall (I'll be your downfall)
(Ah, love can save us now)
(Don't save me now)

Lay it down
I've always been with you
hear me now
with all that's within you
be my savior
and I'll be your downfall

Now I'm back on my own
hear my feet, they're made of stone
man, I make you go where I go
well hell, you, can I take you home
well, I'm coming home on my back
kissing me, your lips painted black
saying Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
let me be your downfall
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
let me be your downfall, baby

SOUL

Hang out my window and over your head
Stare at your feelings to see where they end
You're waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside
You've been so composed

We all know there's always something tearing you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you don't worry, you don't worry
Cause you've got soul

You're so heavy, you're so misunderstood
And I spent all my wishes wishing times were good
When I still could
Wait around here for someone else to take me past the good side
You've been here so longer

We all know there's always something tearing you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you don't worry, you don't worry
Cause darling, you've got so much soul
Darling, you've got so much soul

Well, there's always something tearing you apart
It's always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
Then you ever thought it would

But you don't worry, and you don't worry
You don't worry, you don't worry
You don't worry, you don't worry
You've got soul

YOU'RE SO REAL

Yes I am
I hope you think you beat me
Hope I start talking crazy
Before you understand me
Are we through
You think that I'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do
Wrap em up and take em with you

I'm alright
Hope I can sleep for one night
If not to cool my insides
Maybe to calm my backside
Rain on me
I got a weakness in me
I think that weakness feeds me
I don't think you think you need me
Sunshine, you're the best time
I ever, ever had
But I think I made you feel bad
A black fly on your necktie
Time after time

Refrain:
But when the sun starts sinking
On your beautiful soul
Make you cry, cry baby
Make you feel so cold
Don't you know it's alright
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
Cause that's you baby
Hell, you're so real

Run this round in your head
Like you don't know what's on the inside
You don't know me too well
You ain't seen my bad side
Shame on me, shame on the things that I be
If you could complicate me
If you could get inside me
Sometimes, you're the best time
I've ever, ever known
A pretty girl with a wicked smile on
But I've cried for the last time
Something just don't feel right

Refrain

You always know just who you are
You never needed someone else
To realize yourself

How when the sun starts sinking
On your beautiful soul
Make you cry, cry baby
Make you feel so cold
Don't you know it's alright
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
Cause that's you baby
Hell, you're so real

Yeah baby, you're so real
Yeah baby, you're so real
So real, so real
Oh god, yeah
Yeah, yeah

THE DIFFERENCE

Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the city's still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain and the tired spaces
You could hear her name when she was warm and tender
And you held her arms around you
There was nothing but her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost

And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you wanna be
Yeah, what you wanna be

Night swimming in her diamond dress
Making small circles move across the surface
Stand watching from the steady shore
Feeling wide open and waiting for
Something warm and tender
Now she's moving further from you
There was nothing that could make it easy on you
Every step you take reminds you that she's walking wrong

Yeah, for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want

Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down

Day breaking on the boulevard
Feel the sun warming up your second hand heart
Light swimming right across your face
And you think maybe someday, yeah
Maybe someday

For all you know
Yeah, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want

Yeah, for all you know
For all you know
Yeah, for all that you know
This is what you wanna be
Girl, what you wanna be

SO SAD SO LONELY

I found out
on a late night drive
in my winter coat
with my blood-shot eyes
my faith ain't been
no friend to me
and the way I sin
is hanging off of me

And I'm sorry
you can't take me anywhere
pretty soon we're almost there
baby, one more night
it's been a long, long drive
and I'm way, way tired
I don't need no
back-up plan

Refrain:
And I don't want nobody
nobody don't want me
and I'm so sad so lonely
but I'm always landing on my feet

One more time
with a sad, sad smile
and your white bread friends
in the circus life
all the one-way rides
the sweet beginners
passing on the left-hand side
with a sideways smile

And I'm always
one step from stalling
bad trips can make great stories
dance all night
with your ass on fire
and your hands up high
and feel me one more time

Refrain

But I learn to love myself
and I don't need no one else
and when a love moves on
cuz it gets cold
then another moves in
and it can fill the hole

I'm one more
hopeful lying on the bedroom floor
no sense trying
when the whole thing drops
you lose your nerve
I hope you get what you deserve

Refrain (2x)
