Everything | back

I know what's happening
And I'm well aware when I've been overruled
I know what's happening
And I understand that there's degrees of losing

You were right
So right
When I knew everything

Tell me what's happening
And I will listen now with an attentive ear
'Cause I see what's happening
As it strips away the fragments of devotion

You were right
So right
When we had everything

And everything aches
You know
Everything burns
Inside
Tonight
But still we will be forever

You keep me wondering
And wonder lifts the veil of cryptic conversation
I saw you wondering
If I would ever know the depth of what you're saying

You were right
So right
When dark was everything

Hide You Away | back

Don't whisper in my ear
I can't survive the heat of your breath
Each time you touch my face
I feel a tremble and a little death
But I won't give up on my destruction
Any sooner than I'd die

I thought I knew the truth
But it became a lie again
Just when I thought I'd lost
You showed me I still knew how to win
But I won't look back to where we started
When the light is up ahead

And I want to go away run away
Find a way to hide you away
I need to go away run away
Find a way to hide you away
'Cause I need to hold you
Where no one will stand in our way

Don't leave me here alone
I need to know you want to be near
I need to hear your voice
The silence all around burns my ears
And I won't stop promising the world to you
And failing every time

chorus

Don't doubt me again
I think I've paid my dues
Times a dozen or at least eleven
And I bought all my tickets from you
To take me to this kind of heaven

She Was Something | back

Anna is crying her eyes out
She sits all alone by the sea
I am far away now
But still in my mind
She is next to me

Anna is mad at the world now
She screams out my name in a rage
If she could she'd kill
But I love her still
Love her still

'Cause she was something
She was something out of the blue
And I was flying
Flying from the feeling
That I really knew
Was true

Anna sits out on an iceberg
Her tears form a frost on her face
And I wish I was there
To brush away her hair
And warm her hands

chorus

Silently hold her picture
Close to my heart
I know I can't resist her
When we're apart

Anna is kissing her pillow
She dreams of impossible things
I don't want to say
Wait another day
But I will

Wrong With You | back

Pass me a tissue now please
I'm tired of wiping my nose on my sleeve
I haven't cried like a baby for years

You're always hiding yourself
Don't let it out please to anyone else
I want a piece before you disappear

I know
I don't
Have what it takes to convince you to stay do I
But you
Must know
That I won't stop feeling this way so don't even try

I know what my problems are
I know that I've never fallen so far
I'm hanging on by the last thread I see

Don't tell me I'm not going to miss you
Don't know whether to smack you or kiss you
I know there's something wrong with you
'Cause nothing's wrong with me

You say you don't understand
How I could put my whole life in your hand
But it's the easiest thing I could do

If you said "Take me away"
I would be ready to go in a day
Running like hell without tying my shoes

I know
I don't
Have what it takes to convince you to stay do I
But you
Must know
That I won't stop feeling this way so don't even try

Let's write our names in the dirt
Laugh when we fight over my favorite shirt
Let's hold each other until we turn blue

chorus

Don't take my agony away
'Cause it's all that makes me feel alive
And it's OK
'Cause it feels like I might just survive between dying

I know
I don't
Have what it takes to convince you to say "I do"
But you
Must know
That I won't stop feeling this way won't stop asking you

Pass me a tissue now please
I'm tired of wiping my nose on my sleeve
I haven't cried like a baby for years

Can't Touch You | back

Thought I could save you
But I gave up my life instead
We had some perfectly wonderful
Miserable times
Now they keep running like some cheap movie of the week
In my head

I touch my own hand
Just like you used to do
It seems to confuse the little man that's running my brain
And make him feel better so he doesn't obsess over you

You say look
But I know that I can't touch you anymore
I can't look
'Cause I know that I can't touch you anymore
You say look
But I know that I can't touch you anymore
I want to look
'Cause I know that I can't touch you anymore

It's self-inflicted
This wound that burns like fire
I'm like a junkie and I need a thousand fixes a day
And you're running away and taking my supply

I've got a memory
I made it as we lay in bed
I stopped and smelled your hair and tasted your skin
And watched the room start spinning as it filled my head

chorus

Tell your conscience to go take a hike
And tell your mom and dad to take one too
'Cause we are once in a lifetime
Tell me that it's true

I Was Alive | back

I was alive and I was sailing along with you
The night was dark and we were trying to make it through
When suddenly your life was taken by the roiling sea
I was alive and you were trying to get to me

The mist came down and lifted you high above the sea
The look in your eyes said you were sorry to set me free
But times in life and beyond life there's things you've got to do
I was alive and I was trying to get to you

A flood of memories is flowing through my mind
I can't block the images of leaving you behind
A broken hourglass the sand spills at my feet
And my body, weak and dizzy, floating incomplete

I was alive and I sat staring across the sea
I heard your voice but it was saying goodbye to me
I looked inside my aching heart and found my love for you
I was alive with only your love to see me through

A flood of memories is flowing through my mind
I can't block the images of leaving you behind
A broken hourglass the sand spills at my feet
And my body, weak and dizzy, floating incomplete

The morning sun has warmed up my piece of the silent sea
My battered ship still carries whatever remains of me
When love's enough to live for it's so hard to let it die
Now I'm alive but I just haven't the strength to cry
Now I'm alive because I haven't the strength to die

Monster In My Stomach | back

I don't need to have a reason
But I got one
And it's a big one

There's a monster in my stomach
And he's got a
Lot of problems

Someone has got to come
And make it go away
My time is running out
If you don't give me something
Give me something
Give me something

Gonna scream in just a minute
Hallucinating
Johnny Carson

Think I'll try and get some sleep now
Somebody wake me
If Ed McMahon comes

chorus

My mind is hard at work but
How come my stomach hurts
I never liked desserts but
This cake is making me want something

Love You More | back

I was on the outside
And getting very tired of looking in
And I was so blind
I couldn't see the forest for the trees
And I thought I'd lost my mind
Then you materialized
From nowhere just to save me
I never felt like this before
Then you gave me
More than I could ever ask for

I love you more
Than I've ever loved
I love you more
Isn't that enough
I love you more
But it's getting tough
To love you more
That's for sure

I tried to do the right thing
When everyone around me said it was wrong
And I was so blind
I could've gotten out so easily
And I thought I'd lost my mind
Then you materialized
From nowhere just to save me
I never felt like this before
Then you gave me
More than I could ever ask for

chorus

Yeah, it wasn't what I thought it was
So much more like a hammer
So much less like a buzz
But still such a kick
That it's making me high
And I'm so afraid I'll crash down and die

Christine | back

I woke up this morning and I realized
Just how much I miss your laugh
I've got so many things left to say to you
But all I've got is a photograph

Oh how I wish you were here with me
I need you now can't you see
Need you more than a dream
My Christine

You never failed to light up a room
With your smile
I feel like I only knew you
For a little while

Oh how I wish that we had one more day
I wish I could find a way
Stay with me in my dreams
My Christine

You had a lionheart
Sometimes that's not enough
You knew the tough got going
When the going got tough
A lover but still a fighter
A laugher and a crier
None of us will ever forget
The feelings you inspired

I can't imagine anyone else
Could make me feel the way you do
I can't believe the last time I said goodbye
It was really goodbye to you

Oh how I wish you were here with me
I need you now can't you see
Stay with me in my dreams
My Christine

Jealous Guy | back

I've never been a jealous guy before
But I know now what it means
And I'm sorry that I made you feel this way
I am
And it seems every girl I see
Arm in arm with her man looks just like you
And I don't know and I can't understand
How I did this to you

Rainstorm | back

Please forgive me
If you want to
I could never let it end this way
When you're with me
I am whole again

I can feel it like a rainstorm
Pouring on me
Soaking through me

Grab my pillow
Squeeze it tightly
'Cause you know I feel it worse at night
When you're with me
I feel sick again

I can feel it like a rainstorm
Pouring on me
Soaking through me

I love it when you wear my clothes
Your smell surrounds me like a blanket
And now I feel these days are getting colder
And now I'm standing naked
Trembling and shaken

Don't forgive me
You don't have to
All I ask is please remember me
When you're with me
I might scream in pain

I can feel it like a rainstorm
Pouring on me
Soaking through me
