I promise you all I won't fall down
I promise you all I won't skin my knee
Like you promised you'd always be around to take good care of me

And I remember you standing behind a white picket fence with a white peaked face
trying hard to embrace my youth
before it escapes, be

Ten years and you're back again
but i don't want to go back to this
these kids were not my friends
high school memories just like a kiss
forget how they laughed
forget how i cried
forget everything
forget how i lied to myself
just like a kiss
and I can

It's come to this
I swear this time my heart won't miss
I've clinched these fists for far too long
A broken house with gates made from broken promises
But nobody's home
So here i sit
It's the light that wakes me
But the time that breaks me down
Like water drops,

I follow you around. like i follow the sea. but i see you're not. interested in me. and i fall for your shadow. it's all i've got. and when you're walking away from me. all i've got is lost.
And i forgot what i'd lost. with this line that i'd crossed. and now everything has changed back to n

Cover it up don't say
A word to anyone surprise surprise you've been handed more lies the press but
I confess
I've covered my eyes the same as you your eyes your eyes they've been fooled by the television so tell me whose fault when planes fall when trains derail when hospitals call

try as you will you can't escape your past given everything you ever wanted i never will understand your life well not this time have you ever had to fight for anything mother pays your
rent and daddy bought your car with the money that they've spent it sure did get you far what's your life

Far away
That's where i left you
Far away
I wish that i had stayed
Far away
How can i get to you
And i follow
From miles behind you
Separated by miles
But i will find a way to get there
I hesitated and you smiled
You're on that bus and out of here

I'm scratching my eyes out trying to find you it's tearing my heart apart just waiting here
I'm passing your house by with no answer it's tearing me limb from limb to not have you here but
I can still smell you on my pillow case but just in case you have forgot, well
I have not yo

is this what you want.
it's eight o'clock.
i'm nodding off.
starlight is stealing my heart tonight.
bar fight but i won't be there.
and i've tried all this before.
you swing and you miss and i miss the way things used to be. late night and you're driving me crazy. <

he walked along the side of the road.
head held down.
he watched a truck drive by.
with arkansas license plates.
he passed the june port bridge. and threw a stone.
down towards the water.
he looked into the sky.
where the power lines had made their escape.

this guilt hangs around your neck like portraits on walls but i swear i can't recall the last time i saw you smile it's been a while run away, cause this makes no sense with hollow hands
kissed by hollow lips run away, cause you've seen him cry you've cut apart his heart with your knife holl

I remember the first time
I saw you on heroin
A hero in my eyes
A hero in disguise
I pretended not to care
While all these eyes were on you
But your eyes weren't you
You've paid for this
Black eyes
Arms were skinny
I did not recognize
Your pale face

tired.
he stood in line at the grocery store.
a bottle of wine and nothing more.
an empty apartment to go home to.
it'd been that way since nineteen seventy-two.
a line on his face for every year she'd missed.
a scar on his arm for every time he tried to follow her.

I got to the car.
drove far.
decided to stay away.
with my foot on the gas.
drove past.
all of the shit i needed to say.
i've waited 'till now for the right time.
i've waited 'till now for the right time to tell.
i've waited 'till now for the right time. <

If you wait
by the side of the road
Then I will pick you up
if you stay
and wait for me
I will be there in my baby blue Ford
I will be there from two in the morn
But don't tell your dad
Because I don't have a tale to tell
Tell him something else
Tell him

we've waged this war since birth to cover up this earth with houses and roads now everything must grow expansion is our goal (extinction is our goal)
now bolt these houses down plant these children in the ground now drive to work with blinders on where everyone has got two jobs and four kids

Michael, is this where you run is it my fault am
I the reason you're gone expect one thing from you, and you fail time flies,
when you're having fun but my clock stopped when my hand dropped from yours and you were gone expect one thing from you, the time you stole

I'm crying for help
I'm calling all cars
You're recalling all scars
I'm diving for truth i'm in over my head
But you're lying instead
Prescribe me something to get me through this [3x]

Is this coincidence? I've lost my innocence! [2x]

Oh, is this over?

Cover yourself with everything you can
Just to walk outside
Buried inside an artificial tent
With everything to hide
I'm positive this can't be
This can't be right

January's cold, but February's colder
I can't stand to hold her (I can't stand to hold)
