Inside Wants Out
Back To You
- Back to you
- It always comes around
- Back to you
-
- I tried to forget you
- I tried to stay away
-
- But it's too late
-
- Over you
- I'm never over
- Over you
-
- Something about you
- It's just the way you move
-
- The way you move me
-
- I'm so good at forgetting
-
- And I quit ever game I play
-
- But forgive me, love
- I can't turn and walk away
-
- Back to you
- It always comes around
- Back to you
- I walk with your shadow
- I'm sleeping in my bed
-
- With your silhouette
-
- should have smiled in that picture
- If it's the last that I'll see of you
- It's the least that you
- Could not do
-
- Leave the light on
- I'll never give up on you
- Leave the light on
- For me too
-
- Back to me
- I know that it comes
- Back to me
- Doesn't it scare you
-
- Your will is not as strong
-
- As it used to be
No Such Thing
- "Welcome to the real world", she said to me
- Condescendingly
- Take a seat
- Take your life
- Plot it out in black and white
-
- Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
- And the drama queens
- I'd like to think the best of me
- Is still hiding
- Up my sleeve
-
- They love to tell you
- Stay inside the lines
- But something's better
-
- On the other side
-
- I wanna run through the halls of my high school
- I wanna scream at the
- Top of my lungs
- I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
- Just a lie you've got to rise above
-
- So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
-
- Faded white hats
- Grabbing credits
- Maybe transfers
- They read all the books but they can't find the answers
- And all of our parents
- They're getting older
- I wonder if they've wished for anything better
- While in their memories
- Tiny tragedies
-
- They love to tell you
- Stay inside the lines
- But something's better
- On the other side
-
- I wanna run through the halls of my high school
- I wanna scream at the
- Top of my lungs
-
- I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
- Just a lie you got to rise above
-
- I am invincible
- As long as I'm alive
-
- I wanna run through the halls of my high school
- I wanna scream at the
- Top of my lungs
-
- I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
- Just a lie you've got to rise above
-
- I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
- I'm gonna bust down the double doors
- And when I stand on these tables before you
- You will know what all this time was for
My Stupid Mouth
- My stupid mouth
- Has got me in trouble
- I said too much again
- To a date over dinner yesterday
- And I could see
- She was offended
- She said "well anyway..."
-
- Just dying for a subject change
-
- Oh, another social casualty
- Score one more for me
- How could I forget?
- Mama said "think before speaking"
- No filter in my head
- Oh, what's a boy to do
- I guess he better find one soon
-
- We bit our lips
- She looked out the window
- Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
- I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
- And I could see clearly
- An indelible line was drawn
- Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
-
- Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
- Thanks for playing, try again.
- How could I forget?
- Mama said "think before speaking"
- No filter in my head
- Oh, what's a boy to do
- I guess he better find one
-
- I'm never speaking up again
- It only hurts me
- I'd rather be a mystery
- Than she desert me
-
- Oh I'm never speaking up again
- Starting now
-
- One more thing
-
- Why is it my fault?
- So maybe I try too hard
- But it's all because of this desire
- I just wanna be liked
- I just wanna be funny
- Looks like the jokes on me
- So call me captain backfire
-
- Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
-
- Thanks for playing, try again.
- How could I forget?
- Mama said "think before speaking"
- No filter in my head
- Oh, what's a boy to do
- I guess he better find one
-
- I'm never speaking up again
- It only hurts me
-
- I'd rather be a mystery
- Than she desert me
-
- Oh I'm never speaking up again

Neon
- When sky blue gets dark enough
-
- To see the colors of the city lights
- A trail of ruby red and diamond white
- Hits her like a sunrise
-
- She comes and goes and comes and goes
- Like no one can
-
- Tonight she's out to lose herself
- And find a high on Peachtree Street
-
- From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
- Heavy into everything
-
- She comes and goes and comes and goes
- Like no one can
- She comes and goes and no one knows
- She's slipping through my hands
-
- She's always buzzing just like
-
- Neon, neon
- Neon, neon
- Who knows how long, how long, how long
- She can go before she burns away
-
- I can't be her angel now
- You know it's not my place to hold her down
- And it's hard for me to take a stand
- When I would take her anyway I can
-
- She comes and goes and comes and goes
- Like no one can
- She comes and goes and no one knows
- She's slipping through my hands
-
- She's always buzzing just like
- Neon, neon
- Neon, neon
-
- Who knows how long, how long, how long
- She can go before she burns away
Victoria
- don't know why Tory came by
- but I could see by the look in her eyes
- Tory'd been driving 'round the town for a while
-
- playing with the thought of leaving
-
- don't know why, but Tory just smiled
- and mentioned something about how you were right
- must have been hard to see through the tears she was hiding
-
- she said "I might not be seeing him soon"
- "I've got a few things I've been waiting to do"
-
- hey, Tory came by
- Tory came by tonight
- hey, Tory came by
- she says to say goodbye
-
- looked outside at the car in the drive
-
- and the suitcase on the back seat inside
- sure it's so she can't look out behind at the road
-
- she said "I might not be seeing him soon"
- "I've got a few things I've been waiting to do"
-
- hey, Tory came by
- Tory came by tonight
- hey, Tory came by
- she says to say goodbye
Love Soon
- I know you've been sworn
- I read your complaint
- you're needing someone older
- and though I've been warned to live day by day
- there's something taking over
-
- did you expect to kiss me one time
- while looking at me with the same eyes ever again?
- so come on and face it
- so come on and face it
- it's time that we say it
-
- you can cross the line whenever you want to
- I'm calling it love soon
- close your mind and waste some time if you have to
-
- I'm calling it love soon
- it's not about you now
- it's what we are
-
- your mother complains that you need a man
- you haven't mentioned me yet
- and all of your friends don't know who I am
- I've been your best kept secret
-
- I understand I wasn't part of the plan
-
- a dollar short, a minute early
- but I am your man
- so come on and face it
- so come on and face it
- it's time that we say it
-
- you can cross the line whenever you want to
- I'm calling it love soon
- close your mind and waste some time if you have to
- I'm calling it love soon
- it's not about you now
- it's what we are
-
- let's bypass the bullshit and move on because
- the minute hand moves faster than you think it does
- and by no fault of yours and by no fault of mine
- the bottom line is laying in the bed that we've been playing in tonight
-
- you can cross the line whenever you want to
-
- I'm calling it love soon
- close your mind and waste some time if you have to
- I'm calling it love soon
- it's not about you now
- it's what we are
Comfortable
- I just remembered that time at the market
- snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
- and rolled down aisle five
- you looked behind you to smile back at me
- and crashed into a rack full of magazines
- they asked us if we could leave
-
- I can't remember what went wrong last September
- though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to
-
- our love was comfortable and so broken in
-
- I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
- my friends all approve,
- say "she's gonna be good for you"
- they throw me high fives
- she says the Bible is all that she reads
- and prefers that I not use profanity
- your mouth was so dirty
-
- life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
- but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
-
- our love was comfortable and so broken in
- she's perfect
- so flawless
- or so they say
-
- she thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
-
- and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
- I loved you
- grey sweatpants
- no makeup
- so perfect>
-
- our love was comfortable and so broken in
- she's perfect
- so flawless
- I'm not impressed
- I want you back
Quiet
- midnight
- lock all the doors
- and turn out the lights
- feels like the end of the world
- this Sunday night
-
- there's not a sound
-
- outside the snow's coming down
- and somehow I can't seem to find
- the quiet inside my mind
-
- 3:02
- the space in this room
- has turned on me
- and all my fears have cornered me here
- me and my TV screen
-
- the volume's down
- blue lights are dancing around
- and still, I can't seem to find
- the quiet inside my mind
-
- daylight is climbing the walls
- cars start and feet walk the halls
- the world awakes and now I am safe
- at least by the light of day
