What It Is

I don't know where I'm going
But I feel free
I want to float in
What you do to me

Never leave it
Always stay
Whatever it may be
It's swept me away

I've found something
That I'd lost but never had
I want to float in
What you do to make me glad

Always looking up
Follow the flow
Let it wrap around me
Never let it go

Please don't let me
Break what we are
Please don't allow me
To go too far

It took so long
For me to find
If I ever lost it
I'd lose my mind

I want to float in
What you do to me
I don't know where we're going
But I feel free

Please help me float
Don't let me drown
Since you picked me up
I don't want to go back down

When I'm in it
I feel I can fly
If I ever lose it
I'll lay down and die

It's all there is
What else could I see
You're all there is
Who else would there be

Sometimes it hurts
Sometimes it stings
I'm over you
But I'm stuck on all your little things

I've still got scars
I've still got pain
I'm over you
But I'm still stuck out in your rain

Sometimes I wish
Sometimes I forget
I'm over you
But I don't want to remember yet

Time of Our Lives

Call me up and we can talk about the old times
Sell our memories for nickels and dimes
Spare change from the time of our lives
When everything was easy and everything was right

Look me up and we can talk about the old gang
Older faces that still look the same
Polaroids from the time of our lives
When everything was easy and everyone was high

Come on over, we can talk about old love
The kind that comes back to you when times are rough
Broken hearts from the time of our lives
When everyone was innocent and everyone surprised

Call me up and we can talk about you and me
And all the things that were never meant to be
Young love from the time of our lives
When everything was easy and we left on the light

Butterflies Behind Windows

The dew clung to your body
The moon shone bright that night
You wrapped yourself around me
And said, "Don't go home tonight"

We made love in broken flowers
Your back on the cold ground
Low and murky whispers
Breaking silence with our sound

But promises made in passion
Are promises made to be broken
We couldn't see we were lying
Clouded by emotion

Bittersweet memories of you
Came crashing back to me
Like butterflies behind windows
I had set them free

If You Can't Be My Lover
When it's late at night
And I'm cold inside
And I feel my soul slipping away
And I'm all alone
In an empty home
This is what I want to say

If you can't be my lover be my friend
That's what I need right now
If I can't ever hold you again
Then let me hold you now

When the light is failing
And the sky is paling
And it's been another wasted day
And darkness takes me down
with a silent sound
I wish that you could stay

If you can't be my lover be my friend
That's what I need right now
If I can't ever see you again
Then smile for me now

When the memories
Come back to me
And I can't seem to forget
And I look to you
To see me through
And wonder if it's over yet
If you can't be my lover be my friend
That's what I need right now
If I can't ever hold you again
Then just smile for me now

Gone in the Morning

I'm riding backwards out of context
Living a lie that I believe
But in the cold nights I can see clearly
There's noone here with me

I left it alone for so long
I thought that it was gone
But ghosts come back to haunt me
When old lovers come back and want me
Just one more time for old times' sake
As long as you're gone in the morning

I'm stuck in motion going nowhere
Looking for a better way
'Cause I'm tired of the cycle
Reverse - rewind - replay

There's a peace I just can't find
With Monday morning on my mind
And the dreams come back to haunt me
Where old lovers come back and taunt me
Just one more time for old times' sake
As long as you're gone in the morning

I'm in transit with eyes wide open
Taking in the scenery
I can feel it - somebody somewhere
Has got it in for me

Everyone I've ever hated
Tells me love is overrated
But the ghosts come back to haunt me
And old lovers come back to taunt me
Just one more time for old times' sake
And we'll be forgotten by morning

Heartbroken hermits in hotels tonight
Are turning over to turn out the light
Regretting their whims
And repenting their sins
Wishing she'd take them back again
Teenagers living rebelliously
Kids falling in with bad company
Curing heartache and pain
With lines of cocaine
Wake up one morning and you've fried your brain

Families crying at hospital beds
Begging the doctors: "He's not really dead"
He's too young to die
And I'm too old to cry
Victims on stretchers are being rushed by

Chalk one more up to society
Magazines, talkshows, anxiety
We say we've tried
And now we're tired
Sit back and wait for someone else to decide

My Girl Frustration

Frustration wakes me up
With a whisper in my ear
She says, "apologize for this"
And shows me her fake tears

Well, I haven't even had my coffee yet, girl
I don't care what's wrong in your fucked up little world

Frustration, I hate this little game
You're just looking for a reason to drive me away
And, Frustration, why can't we get along?
Why does being happy always make you feel so wrong?

Frustration's always like this
She always pulls away
It doesn't matter what I do
Or matter what I say

Well, you've always got a reason ready, don't you?
Since I'm already in trouble; "Fuck you too!"

Frustration, you're driving me insane
Just looking for a reason to tell me I can't stay
And, Frustration, something's always wrong
I'm losing all my patience trying to get along

Frustration goes to bed
She doesn't even say goodnight
Somewhere inside she's smiling
'Cause she's happy 'bout the fight

Well, you got just what you wanted, didn't you, girl?
I hope you can justify it in your fucked up little world

Frustration, I hate this little game
You're just looking for a reason to drive me away
And, Frustration, you don't want to get along
Why does being happy always make you feel so wrong?

Practically Angels

In a moment of weakness
We're forgiven our sin
We're practically angels
But angels don't win
So I'll hold you close
If you hold me tight
We're practically angels
When you turn out the light

In a moment of weakness
We betray our desire
We're practically angels
With haloes for hire
I'll be your lover
If you be my friend
We're practically angels
With wings on the mend

In a moment of weakness
We forget our lives
We're practically angels
But angels don't cry
And I'll hide your face
If you hold up my head
We're practically angels
If we just stay in bed

Killing Caroline

Woke up today
Didn't know what to say
Last night was banging on my head
We got into a fight
You thought you were right
You walked off and left me for dead
So far down the road
So far down the line
Would you believe
That I'm doing fine
I never wanted
You to be mine
So I'm leaving Penny
And I'm killing Caroline

Revenge is sweet
Isn't that neat
And you thought I was going to be nice
You took the gamble
Now we're in shambles
You just had to roll those dice
So here's to last night
And here's to the last time
Don't you worry
We're going to be fine
It's just that I don't want
You to be mine
So I'm leaving Penny
And I'm killing Caroline

No, I'm not like him
I won't follow your whim
I'm not part of your entourage
I'm not the one
That's what you said, hun
Maybe I was just a mirage
Now I'm out the door
And you're out of time
It's way too late
To try to be mine
I like it like this
I like it just fine
So I'm leaving Penny
And I'm killing Caroline

Since you took the Color

Black trees behind me, grey skies above me
I should've known you couldn't love me
You sharpened your words to make me look duller
Everything's clear since you took the color

I'm soaked through by the rain around you
I wasn't looking, but somehow I found you
You twisted my words to make me look wrong
Everything's clear since the color is gone

I walked away and you stood and stared
I should've known you never cared
You beat with words till I couldn't feel
You took the color, now everything's clear

Black tress howling, grey skies sighing
All this time now I've been crying
You sharpened your words to make me look duller
Everything's clear since you took the color

One year later

One year later
Not that I cry about you
But I can catch myself wondering
What am I without you?

One year later
Not that I'm keeping track
But I can catch myself wondering
Do I want you back?

Not that I think
We'd have a chance
I'm so tired of your tune
There's no way in hell I'd dance

One year later
Not that I really care
But I can catch myself wondering
Do I really want you there?

One year later
Not that I don't know we're through
But I can catch myself wondering
Am I still in love with you

Not that I think
You don't know
I think you should've had
The decency to go

How could you break my heart
And say you'd be my friend?
It's always what you want
But never again

What Are We Now?

What are we now
One year past
Picking up pieces
In the aftermath?

What are we now
In the treacherous wake
Of one heart broken
And another at stake?

What are we now
In a silence so loud
I can call out your name
Without making a sound?

What are we now
When the promise of change
Still eludes us
Like a target out of range?

What are we now
Still feeling the pain
Of wounds turned to scars
That will always remain?

Tired of Today

I wanted a ticket down
But I couldn't pay
As long as you're here
There's no reason to stay
It's getting late
What do you want me to say?
I'm just so
Fucking tired of today

Feels like we broke up
Just yesterday
You're still here
And it's the middle of May
It's getting old
What do you want me to say?
I'm just so
Fucking tired of today

You wanted to stay friends
I let you have it your way
It was late, I was lonely
And you offered to stay
So we fell into bed
What do you want me to say?
I'm just so
Fucking tired of today

You try to ask me
If I'll be okay
But before I can answer
You're already away
Old habits die hard
What else can I say?
I'm just so
Fucking tired of today

I wanted a ticket down
And you offered to pay
But one good deed
Won't make me stay
I've got to catch a plane
What do you want me to say?
I'm just so
Fucking tired of today

Love is Destruction

Love is destruction
So tear me apart
Rip into me
And dig out my heart

Yeah, love is destruction
Oh, love is destruction

Love is destruction
So break up my soul
Take me in pieces
If you don't want me whole

Yeah, love is destruction
Oh, love is destruction

Love is destruction
So set me on fire
I'll go down in flames
For you to admire

Yeah, love is destruction
Oh, love is destruction

So You're You (And So What?)

If you want to mean something to me
Go down in history
If you want me to remember you
Gimme a good reason
So you're you, and so what?
You don't really mean that much
So you're you, and so what?
You don't really mean that much

If you really want we can play that game
Just remember the rules have changed
This time I'm playing to win
Cause I don't feel like losing
So you're you, and so what?
I don't really care that much
So you're you, and so what?
I don't really care that much

If you want to mean something to me
Go down in history
But I got better things to do
Than hang around waiting
So you're you, and so what?
I don't really care that much
So you're you, and so what?
I don't really care that much

Two in the Morning

I'm your pill
I'm your prescription
Two in the morning
One at night

I'm your drug
I'm your addiction
Take one of me
You'll feel alright

I'm your break
I'm intermission
From the life
That you hate

I'm your thing
I'm your condition
I'm the headache
That you fake

Tastes Like Glass

It's just one of those days
Where everything goes wrong
When I break down
Will you come along
You'll get a front row seat
And a backstage pass
Champagne on ice
That tastes like glass

This morning I checked out
Of my old motel
She knew the wrong people
Got me a room in her hell
She said she knew a good time
I think I'll pass
She was cool as ice
But she tastes like glass

Sent invitations out
For the day I'd crack
The hours went by
But I never heard back
She said don't worry
She said it'd pass
Now I'm cool as ice
But I feel like glass

It's just one of those days
Where everything goes wrong
When I break down
She'll be coming along
With her a front row seat
And her backstage pass
Sipping champagne
That tastes like glass

550 Miles

Gonna lay down my love
Gonna use it to cross
The 550 miles
Between us

And if the water is deep
I'll build a bridge of my heart
Take the short route around
To get a head start

Gonna lay down my love
Gonna use it to cross
The 550 miles
Between us

And it isn't too far
With love leadin' the way
I'll just follow my heart
And I'll get there some day

Gonna lay down my love
Gonna use it to cross
The 550 miles
Between us

Gonna lay down my love
Gonna use it to cross
The 550 miles
Between us

When you're gone
I feel so small
I'm nothing
Without you
And everything
With

Don't take the light
From my eyes
Don't let me fall
Into dispair
Just
Hold me
