Gin Blossoms

I walked home to the sun
I couldn't ride another one
I thought a lot along the lines
And I've been fooled about all night
Wiped clean always by midnight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...
Three, four peaks all I could see
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
But I like the goddamn heat
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
All the autumn that you can see
All the autumn that you can see
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
and then it's cold
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
and then it's cold
There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...

Well we've been here once before
And we've stuck it out for more
When we come around we'll settle down
The cracks below the floor
Has it been eleven years
Since I've stood here with my peers
And we started out to conquer doubt and Frisbee
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
And at times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home 'cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
At times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home 'cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job...

I wanna take you so far
But they don't want to let us out
But they do, they do, they do
I don't wanna walk on that highwire
They ain't gonna let us down
But they do, they do, they do
What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost
Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do
What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost
Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do...

Did you see the sky?
I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one last time is all we need
I can't really help it
If my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge is just the farthest
That I've ever been

1-Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

I know we're headed somewhere
I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing
And I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way down
When all the knots we've tied have come undone
(repeat 1)

How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now we've already been forever damned
(rpt 1)

Looking all around the room I see the clutter in the gloom
I'm not only back, I'm not only numb
Changing shades within the evening
In a day then I'll be leaving
I'm not only back, I'm not only numb
When the air at home is thin
Getting out then looking in
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
It ain't awful hard to tell
What it's like, my little hell
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
I'm now familiar with the tone I hear in bed when I'm alone
I'm not only back, I'm not only numb
In the shade below the eaves
Think I could chain smoke anything
I'm not only back, I'm not only numb
When the air at home is thin
Getting out, then looking in
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
It ain't awful hard to tell
What it's like, my little hell
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows, she knows
She sees all the cars around the parking lots of bars we've played and stayed
Started laughing, looking down upon the bed that we've made
We've made, we've made, we've made
She sees all the cars around the parking lots of bars we've played and stayed
Started laughing, looking falling down across the bed that we've made
We've made, we've made, we've made
The air at home is thin
When getting out, then looking in
I'm not only back, I'm not only numb
Changing shades within the evening
In a day, then I'll be leaving
I'm not only back, I'm not only numb...

How can I find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake
I'm like a broken record
That you can play
Repeating as if it matters
Everything I want to say
I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now
Forget that time
It's nothing we touch and see
All this is fine
Even as it crashes down on me
I'm looking around
There's nothing that I could want
More than to tell you
There's no more than we've already got
I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...
Forget that our time is almost up I'll be all right...

It's our call
It sways, it stalls
I need a little extra time alone
Well maybe take the long way home
Just enough to get it wrong
Nothing like a bad decision
Says who you are
Fools rush in
For the grist in my
For the grist in my mill
Can't you see
When you're perfectly
When you're perfectly still
One big rout
We're all sold out
If nothing's off limits, we'll pay
Price tags on every other day
We're bankrupt here for now
But they can't take my anger
It can't be touched
Fools rush in
For the grist in my
For the grist in my mill
Can't you see
When you're perfectly
When you're perfectly still...
Outdated maps
Missed pull-out ramps
I won't contribute to our own demise
Pass up the consolation prize
It starts from here from now
Nothing like a bad decision
Says who you are
Fools rush in...

Streetlights on, the night air's cool
I'm driving right past my old school
I'm looking for my pack of cigarettes
I'm thinking back on things I've done
I can't forget the stupid ones
It seems I do my best by accident
What's that sound, what's that song
What's this street I'm driving on
In my car
In my car
I miss her feel, her touch, her taste
I feel the distance everyplace
This distance can't be taken casually
I take my time, just drive around
Feeling lost in my hometown
Every turn I take is comforting
What's that sound, what's that song
What's this street I'm driving on
In my car
In my car
I'll take a break from all their big plans
My first mistake was listening to them
I made a mess it's all been proven
Over and over again
Over and over again
Streetlights on, the night air's cool
I'm driving right past my old school
Looking for some face I can't forget
I take my time, just drive around
Feeling lost in my hometown
Every turn I take's an accident
What's that sound, what's that song...

It's like trying to light a cigarette
When the matches you got are soaking wet
Tallest buildings they got are bound to fall
When it's coming down like a wrecking ball
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
It's everything that's cool rolled into one
Everything that's not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
Sometimes it sounds like she's been crying
But when she lights, this whole dump is...
It's everything that's cool rolled into one
Everything that's not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Slow down, Virginia...

This night never happened
If it's all right with you
Not a word of our weakness
So much as a clue
There's a place outside
I'm glad to play no part
The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars
Wash away my weekend
Shatter my sight
C'mon sweet amnesia
You're needed here tonight
Take a seat in the shadows
Forget it as it goes
Dissipate in the morning air
All you know
If you find out
You'll find every lie you might
I was nowhere near last night
Whitewash everything in sight
These suspicions have been long drained dry
Our persistence holds them here
A maze of bars and rented rooms remain
Enough to make you almost look away
This night never happened
If it's all right with you
Another for the collection of things we didn't do
That private party is over
Thank God we get new starts
The fairest arms still tally up the faintest stars
When it comes down
In a clear and certain light
I was nowhere near last night
I was nowhere near last night
Whitewash everything in sight...

Who's to say what's right or wrong
If I stand out in the rain too long
Filling up my drinking cup
When I know I've had much more than enough
Write in the pages of my notebook
But they never sound the way they look
Kicking at this old tin can
And I wonder where the hell I am
I can't figure you out
I can't figure you out
When it seems so fine
When it's held to the light
I can't figure you out
I can't figure you out
They push and pull till it breaks in half
I never trust a guy with a nervous laugh
Worried 'bout the smallest things
While the world is coming crashing in
I can't figure you out...

Hey, now it's all right
Hey now, it's fine, it's cool
Seems we've done our worst
It's time to head for school
And so we tripped upstairs
I seen the sun come up
Judging by your shape
I think you've had enough
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Tune it up to Memphis time
Hey, now I couldn't know
Baby, I couldn't tell
Just what's going on
Inside of someone else
You know that this small world
Sometimes this big town
It can drag you up
As well as drag you down
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Tune it up to Memphis
You can't say that I've been right
I can't say that you've been wrong
We knew it all along
(Take cover Scotty)
So we tripped upstairs
I seen the sun come up
Judging by your shape
I think you've enough
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
And tune it up to Memphis time...

Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile
Now I'm running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Now I've thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone
Falling hard
And I'm only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
I'm hiding high...

I didn't ask, they shouldn't have told me
At first I laughed but now
It's sinking in fast, whatever they sold me
But baby

1-I don't wanna take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Til I hear it from you

It gets hard, when memory's faded
And who gets what the say
It's likely they're, just jealous and jaded
or maybe
(rpt 1)

Til I hear it from you

I can't let it get me off
Break up my train of thought
As far as I know nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you

Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in, till we're talking about
Not stepping around it
Maybe
(rpt 1)

Til I hear it from you...

Did you see the sky?
I think it means that we've been lost.
Maybe one less time is all we need.
I can't really help it
if my tongue's all tied in knots.
Jumping off a bridge -
it's just the farthest that I've ever been.
Anywhere you go
I will follow you down.
Anyplace but those I know by heart.
Anywhere you go
I will follow you down.
I'll follow you down, but not that far.
I know we're headed somewhere
I can see how far we've come.
Still I can't remember anything.
Let's not do the wrong thing
And I'll swear it might be fun.
It's a long way down
When all the knots we've tied
have come undone.
How you gonna ever find your place
running in an artificial pace.
Are they ever gonna find us
lying face down in the sand.
So what the hell
we've already been forever d**ned.

The last horizons I can see are filled with bars and factories
and in them all we fight to stay awake...
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

She had nothing left to say so she said she loved me
I stood there grateful for the lie...
Drink enough of anything to make this girl look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Turn summer trees to bones and ice
Turn insect songs against the night
With words we build and words we break
I'm drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves...

Maybe I could use you to reassure myself
I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again

And when the sin smiles how could it be wrong
The last horizons I could see are now resigned to memories
I never thought I'd still be here today...
Drink enough of anything to make myself look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
As you see I'm in no space for drivin'
And any way I 've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I ever had
I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might no be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place

Hey jealousy-

You can trust me not to drink
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much form me
You might not be let down

'Cos all I really want's to be with you
And feel like I matter too
If I didn't blow the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Andlet the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place

Hey jealousy-

Listen to my heart
There's only one thing I can start

I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stranger
Think she's coming round again
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

Get in the car and drive through town
Down the block and back around
Pretending that she's there with me, we drive
Gone forever

Well, my patience keeps me plaintive, my high hopes keep me alone
My lover's will is shaken
I wish she would just come home
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I just hope she's coming round...

I want to tell if I am or am not myself
It's hard to know
how far or if at all could go
I've waited far too long
For something I forgot was wrong
I don't know all the answers
I think that I'll find
Or have it within the time
But it's all that I'll have in mind
Until I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away
My fear pretend that I'll never be in love again
It's real to me but not like these fools
And not like this scene
I won't find or have it within the time
If it's all rusted and fade
In the spot where we fell
Where I thought I'd left behind
It's loose now but we could try
Until I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away...
When there's no good answers
And no new questions
Another personal disaster
There's nowhere to go but down...
...

Until I fall away
I won’t keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I don’t know what to do anymore
Until I fall away...

so i guess i must have just been dreaming,
when i thought i heard myself say no,
and anyway it looks like noone heard me,
so here i go.
cuz when youre in the company of strangers,
or with the strangers you call friends,
you know before you start
just how its gonna end.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy,
hold me down

i cant remember why i like this feeling,
when it always seems to let me down,
soon i find im searching for the exit,
from the ground.
and if i think the room is turning faster,
and i think the music is too loud,
by then ill have another broken story,
let me out.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.

if youre at the tail end of the evening,
and that good feeling comes around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

well i guess i must have just been reeling,
when i felt myself begin to fall,
i realized im boundin down the hallway
off the walls.
and if my bed was standing in the corner
i could just fall into it right now
know that id be starin at the ceiling
goin round and round

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.
or if youre at the tail end of the evening
and that good feelin comes around
anytime the pickins look too easy,
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

know that ill never be back home.
down and ive gone too far.

well, she'll be leavin today i do know
so far away
i'm feelin so blue and it shows
in every single way

once that girl, she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry
they say, that you can't miss,
somethin that you've never had
so tell me why,
why i could feel so bad

well we used to walk down the path
just like lovers do
she'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
and i'd stare in her eyes - they were blue, ooh

once that girl she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry

they say, that you can't miss
somethin' that you've never had
so tell me, why
why i should feel so bad...

I've been waiting around all night
Your warm kiss is on my mind
A piece of you is all I've got
But the whole damn thing is what I want

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

Telephone is ringing by my bed
I pick it on up and the line goes dead
I splash summer water on my face
Clears my mind, I'm out of this place

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

My nerves are frayed and I've had enough
I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much
And I can't seem to stop at all
I'm plain wore through waiting for your call

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

Want you round here all the time
Just can't seem to shake you off my mind
My hands are tied...

Found Out About You
by Gin Blossoms




All last summer in case you don't recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
Sad enough to make you cry
All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know
You're famous now and there's no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and know what you're about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on AM radio
You know it's all I think about
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over I watch your light go out
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you

I've lost my mind
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road

Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

Dark clouds fall in when the moon was near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There's no tellin' what I might find
I couldn't see I was lost at the time

On Allison Road

Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road

So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Allison Road

Now I can't hide (on Allison Road)
So why not drive (on Allison Road)
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Allison Road

And I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
And I went looking for an exit sign
All I wanted to find tonight

On Allison Road
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road

I've lost my mind
If the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

On Allison Road (On Allison Road)
Allison Road

Time won't stand by forever
If I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Else I'll seem the fool

29, you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
Cause when my lies may seem less than clever
It's when I fall for it

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifferent
Without a second look

There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted out hinges
Take 'em for a ride

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifferent
Without a second look

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Well, is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by
When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But it's lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side

Twelfth night, we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on when the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

It seems so distant
But still only half the night away
Where notions between your questions come too
Is it any wonder where
The pieces of the night have been

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

New York City where it's cold as hell
And the streetlights shone in my blue room
I was thinking about the nights we spent
Back in Galveston beneath the Georgia moon
It was early and I'd had my share
I was countin' change for a cab ride back to bed
She looked to me through the cold night air
And thoughts of you kicked off inside my head

Well she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you...

Though I loved you and the trust we shared
Lord don't tell me that I've thrown it all away
A moment's weakness shouldn't change the fact
That I need you and there's nothing more to say

Lord she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you

The last horizons I can see are filled with bars and factories
and in them all we fight to stay awake...
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Turn insect songs against the night

And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

Get in the car and drive through town
Down the block and back around
Pretending that she's there with me, we drive
Gone forever

Well, my patience keeps me plaintive, my high hopes keep me alone
My lover's will is shaken
I wish she would just come home
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I just hope she's coming round...

I want to tell if I am or am not myself
It's hard to know
how far or if at all could go
I've waited far too long
For something I forgot was wrong
I don't know all the answers
I think that I'll find
Or have it within the time
But it's all that I'll have in mind
Until I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away
My fear pretend that I'll never be in love again
It's real to me but not like these fools
And not like this scene
I won't find or have it within the time
If it's all rusted and fade
In the spot where we fell
Where I thought I'd left behind
It's loose now but we could try
Until I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until I fall away...
When there's no good answers
And no new questions
Another personal disaster
There's nowhere to go but down...
...

Until I fall away
I won’t keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I don’t know what to do anymore
Until I fall away...

so i guess i must have just been dreaming,
when i thought i heard myself say no,
and anyway it looks like noone heard me,
so here i go.
cuz when youre in the company of strangers,
or with the strangers you call friends,
you know before you start
just how its gonna end.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy,
hold me down

i cant remember why i like this feeling,
when it always seems to let me down,
soon i find im searching for the exit,
from the ground.
and if i think the room is turning faster,
and i think the music is too loud,
by then ill have another broken story,
let me out.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.

if youre at the tail end of the evening,
and that good feeling comes around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

well i guess i must have just been reeling,
when i felt myself begin to fall,
i realized im boundin down the hallway
off the walls.
and if my bed was standing in the corner
i could just fall into it right now
know that id be starin at the ceiling
goin round and round

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
when half the party moves into the bathroom,
hold me down.
or if youre at the tail end of the evening
and that good feelin comes around
anytime the pickins look too easy,
hold me down.

down and i want back up.
down and ive gone too far.

know that ill never be back home.
down and ive gone too far.

well, she'll be leavin today i do know
so far away
i'm feelin so blue and it shows
in every single way

once that girl, she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry
they say, that you can't miss,
somethin that you've never had
so tell me why,
why i could feel so bad

well we used to walk down the path
just like lovers do
she'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
and i'd stare in her eyes - they were blue, ooh

once that girl she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry

they say, that you can't miss
somethin' that you've never had
so tell me, why
why i should feel so bad...

I've been waiting around all night
Your warm kiss is on my mind
A piece of you is all I've got
But the whole damn thing is what I want

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

Telephone is ringing by my bed
I pick it on up and the line goes dead
I splash summer water on my face
Clears my mind, I'm out of this place

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

My nerves are frayed and I've had enough
I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much
And I can't seem to stop at all
I'm plain wore through waiting for your call

I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding onto these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...

Want you round here all the time
Just can't seem to shake you off my mind
My hands are tied...

Found Out About You
by Gin Blossoms




All last summer in case you don't recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
Sad enough to make you cry
All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know
You're famous now and there's no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and know what you're about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on AM radio
You know it's all I think about
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over I watch your light go out
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you

I've lost my mind
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road

Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

Dark clouds fall in when the moon was near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There's no tellin' what I might find
I couldn't see I was lost at the time

On Allison Road

Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road

So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Allison Road

Now I can't hide (on Allison Road)
So why not drive (on Allison Road)
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Allison Road

And I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
And I went looking for an exit sign
All I wanted to find tonight

On Allison Road
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road

I've lost my mind
If the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

On Allison Road (On Allison Road)
Allison Road

Time won't stand by forever
If I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Else I'll seem the fool

29, you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
Cause when my lies may seem less than clever
It's when I fall for it

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifferent
Without a second look

There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted out hinges
Take 'em for a ride

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifferent
Without a second look

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Well, is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by
When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But it's lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side

Twelfth night, we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on when the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

It seems so distant
But still only half the night away
Where notions between your questions come too
Is it any wonder where
The pieces of the night have been

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember, if at all?
Only pieces of the night...

New York City where it's cold as hell
And the streetlights shone in my blue room
I was thinking about the nights we spent
Back in Galveston beneath the Georgia moon
It was early and I'd had my share
I was countin' change for a cab ride back to bed
She looked to me through the cold night air
And thoughts of you kicked off inside my head

Well she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you...

Though I loved you and the trust we shared
Lord don't tell me that I've thrown it all away
A moment's weakness shouldn't change the fact
That I need you and there's nothing more to say

Lord she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you

She came to L.A. all the way from Boston town
She wound up on the screen where I saw her goin' down
Now I can't see you, I can't see you at all
No I don't know you, I don't know you at all

I bought her films, yeah I bought all her magazines
And I watched her every move until I saw her in my dreams
Now I can't stand it, see you caught from behind
No I don't know you, girl you gotta be mine
Keli Richards come on...

Well I bought a gun, there's just one thing left to do
Now I can't make up my mind it comes down to me or you
Now I can't see you, I can't see you at all
No I don't know you, I don't know you at all
Keli Richards come on...

(Jesse Valenzuela)

Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
This car I'm driving can't drive me fast enough
Thirty miles of potholed roads got me shaking like a drunk
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Static on the radio gave out five miles back
And I'm singing some old Marshalls song just for laughs
My head aches from cigarettes my eyes are edged with sleep
Meet out past the muddy ditch beneath the palos verdes trees
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Monday morning takes me back to where I have to be
Full of half assed-promises this shit just ain't for me
Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere...

Party girls between the sheets
She can’t show that much to me
I’d rather drink until I see
Angels tonight
I had a girl I thought was mine
I wised up and just in time
Such wisdom makes these sluts look like
Angels tonight...
...

As we collide as the lights go out
There’s someone else she thinks about
It’s all the best that I can’t figure out
Angels tonight...
...

Angels tonight...
Party girls between the sheets
She can’t show that much to me
I’d rather drink until I see
Angels tonight
I had a girl I thought was mine
I wised up and just in time
Such wisdom makes these sluts look like
Angels tonight...

(Thompson)

Well darlin' I don't know much
But I know I learned so much
My life depends on your touch
For my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
Too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep
I'd put myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya
Nothin' I wouldn't do for ya
Cause my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
Too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river
All I ever really want to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothing but an empty shell
And you know darn well I can tell though
And all I ever really want to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothing but an empty shell
You know darn well I can tell though
Well I don't know much
But I know I learned so much
My live depends on your touch
For my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep
My love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep

Here's a little something that I brought here for you
It ain't much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away

It's never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldn't give my heart to you
I couldn't give my heart to you

Smokes on the table the matches are lost
There's room in the back of the bar
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away

Smokes on the table the matches are lost
There's room in the back of the bar
Oh, it's not really serious but I should prove
That I don't mean what I might not do
Not that you wanted it anyway
But I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away

(Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela)

Well I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this
Like some young guy barely got his first kiss
From my first baby steps to my last cigarette
Every single little thing was leading to this
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
You've been around too long to react so coy
Like I'm something that you'd best avoid
Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy
Knowing that he's got a little more in mind
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
We can last til dawn if the moon stays bright
And hang our secret on its last light
From a first date kiss that could not hide
We both wanted something more tonight
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
Christine Irene
Prettiest girl as I've ever seen
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene

I walked home to the sun
I couldn't ride another one
I thought a lot along the lines
And I've been fooled about all night
Wiped clean always by midnight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...

Three, four peaks all I could see
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
But I like the goddamn heat
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
All the autumn that you can see
All the autumn that you can see
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
and then it's cold

It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
and then it's cold

There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
But I can't find the lines

You know I love you a lot
Just don't know, should I not?
Waiting for a brighter day
But I can't find a way

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Baby, I'm too afraid
Just don't know if it's okay
Trying to get away
From everything

Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
BUt I can't find the lines

I've lost my mind
On what I'd find

Tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
As you see I'm in no space for drivin'
And any way I 've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I ever had
I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might no be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place

Hey jealousy-

You can trust me not to drink
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much form me
You might not be let down

'Cos all I really want's to be with you
And feel like I matter too
If I didn't blow the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Andlet the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place

Hey jealousy-

Listen to my heart
There's only one thing I can start

I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stranger
Think she's coming round again
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt

Well I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
That train keeps rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle
I hang my head and cry
Well I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dinin' car
I bet they're taking mushrooms
And smokin' big cigars
Well I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
Those people keep movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
Well those people keep movin'
Goddammit, that's what tortures me
If they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
Well those people keep movin'
Goddammit that's what tortures me

She could be anywhere at all
I know I'm heading for a fall
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
But I know there's something wrong

We used to have all kinds of things
Now I know the pain heartache can bring
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
But I know there's something wrong

'Cause I can be waiting around all the time
I'll wait for that girl
She could be anywhere at all
I know I'm heading for a fall
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
But I know there's something wrong...

I've been trying for so long
Trying to forget
The ports of northern Africa and the man I met
He said he had a daughter
Maybe I could meet her
He thought I was a trader
Oh, that was how I met
That slave dealer's daughter
Her eyes were black her hair was raven
Her skin was soft and brown
Eighteen years she looked a woman
I thought she'd been around
She'd never met a jailbird???
I knew that she was lonely
She offered me her body
So I fell in love
With that slave dealer's daughter
Her father's men came after me
Trying to hunt me down
For three long years I've hid my face
And run from town to town
She never met a jailbird
I knew that she was lonely
She offered me her body
So I fell in love
With that slave dealer's daugther...

The fireworks from the rooftops fall down around this hotel
So tell it seems like so long since I've had you beside me here
We used to walk together
I've nothing to show me now and it seems like so long
Since I've had you beside me here

Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart
Her mumbles come now softly
From the other side of this room
And the things she won't say
Just reminds she's not alone

Well I can't help but feeling a little more than blue
Cause the things that matter just don't mean a damn to you
Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart

The fireworks from the roofs all fall down around you
So tell it seems like so long since I've had you beside me here
Lets a walk together
I've nothing to show me now and it seems like so long
Since I've had you beside me here

Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart...

You know I can't pretend
It's not an accident
I have become somebody else

So much I want to say
You see me everyday
I wish that I could shout it out

You gotta run
This world ain't standing still
Gotta believe
You can make it up that hill

You gotta know
You can have anything
You gotta be
The best that you can be
But don't change for me

Some things I try to hide
You see through my disguise
When you are tearing down the walls

You're gonna figure out
I know without a doubt
These things don't matter much at all

You will be free

But you gotta run
This world ain't standing still
Gotta believe
You can make it up that hill

You gotta know
You can have anything
You gotta be
The best that you can be
But don't change for me

Sorry is not a word
I want to use so easily
I need to know that
Life won't pass you by

You gotta run
This world ain't standing still
Gotta believe
You can make it up that hill

You gotta know
You can have anything
You gotta be
The best that you can be
But don't change for me

This world ain't standing still
Gotta believe
You can make it up that hill

You gotta know
You can have anything
You gotta be
The best that you can be
But don't change for me
But don't change for me

You know I can't pretend
It's not an accident
I have become somebody else

I wasn't really leaving
I was just college gone
I thought that love could last
From September to May

Got back just in time
'Cause you were moving on
I thought that I could come and go
And you'd just wait

I don't wanna lose you now
I promise I'll make it better and I better
'Cause I've seen a world without you and I bet you
If there's a way I'll find a way some how
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I know I've got it coming so, baby, just let it out
'Cause you're worth the price that you're making me pay
Now I don't wanna wait another minute
This is my life and I wanna spend it with you
How about you? what you say?

I don't wanna lose you now
I promise I'll make it better and I better
'Cause I've seen a world without you and I bet you
If there's a way I'll find a way somehow
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I know we're good together
If everyone knows and everyone can see
What you do to me

I don't wanna lose you now
I promise I'll make it better and better
And better, yes, better

I don't wanna lose you now
I promise I'll make it better and I better
'Cause I've seen a world without you and I bet you
If there's a way I'll find a way somehow
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

(I don't wanna lose you now)
I don't wanna lose you now
(I don't wanna lose you now)
I don't wanna lose you now
(I don't wanna lose you now)
I don't wanna lose you now
(I don't wanna lose you now)

You're such a mystery
It's never clear to me
You're always leaving me second guessing
All I wanna know is
Baby where you go
Where you been when you come up missing
Miss Disarray
You swim in the pouring rain
I'm holding on in vain
The more I try the more that I just feel so far away
Miss Disarray
Miss Disarray
It started carelessly
Leading you to me
Kisses sweet but complicated
A happy ending girl
I knew you'd never be
Burning bright but sadly faded
You swim in the pouring rain
I'm holding on in vain
The more I try the more that I just feel so far away
Miss Disarray
Miss Disarray
There's no pretending
That happy endings
Will ever see me through
So the story goes and I'm not over you
Kisses sweet but complicated
Burning bright but sadly faded
You swim in the pouring rain
I'm holding on in vain
The more I try the more that I just feel so far away
Miss Disarray
Miss Disarray

Can you take a lot of pain
and make a little game
of the hell that you find
All the space you never gave
for a secret never safe
Get it out of your mind
The past beyond my sight
Ahead in blinding light
that reflects in your eye
The choices that you make
All the memories and mistakes
I only think about it sometimes
(Chorus)
This is the last time I'll ever say
I love you
This is the last night
I fall among these graves
The first and last time that I'll
cry and walk beneath a dark
lonely sky and wave bye-bye
Bye bye
I could take the bitter cold
and wrap around your soul
In the light of your lie
All the things we'll never be
They were right in front of me
I can ever deny
A piece you never sold
You only feel a little cold
and slightly undone
The harder part of facing doubt
standing up and climbing out
the deepest hole you've ever dug
(chorus)
This is the last time I'll ever say
I love you
This is the last night
I fall among these graves
The first and last time that I'll
cry and walk beneath a dark
lonely sky and wave bye-bye
Bye bye
A piece you never sold
You only feel a little cold
and grown so tired
to want and never grow
In delusion of control
the hardest part is
getting old
(chorus)

When you taking all you find
I cant tell what isn't mine
Now I cant reduce the fever
and no matter how I try
Theres a pain that isn't real
From the moment you can feel
You begin to lose your power
it was such a bright and damn
From the pain you know you'll not asleep now
You lost space its all that matters any how
Go Crybaby

Go baby cry

Come on out, its your mistake and it takes forever...
Go baby cry

Come on out, its your mistake and it takes forever...
Go baby cry

Come on now... if you wanna cry...Go baby cry

Go cry baby, go cry baby, go cry baby, Go...Go baby cry
Go cry baby, go cry baby, go cry baby, Go...
Go baby cry... If you wanna cry...go cry baby, Go...

Summer's kickin' in, I can feel the heat
Comin' through my car window
Friday nights are red brake lights
Stuck in here like cargo
Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic's moving like a slug
Dead or alive on the 405
Stuck behind a '68 bug
And I might make a Hummer
If I ever make Redondo tonight
I'm going in cold on a pick-up gig
And in between the classic sticks
You play your hit from '89
I'll sing mine from '95
Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic's moving like a slug
Dead or alive on the 405
Behind some hippies in a '68 bug
And I might make a Hummer
If I ever make Redondo tonight
Just like Ronnie sang, just like Ronnie sang
Gimme my Eddie Money
Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic ain't moving yet
Dead or alive on the 405
Now it's a gray hair in a new Corvette
Dead or alive on the 405
I'm just a cover band drummer
Stuck behind a Hummer
On the 405, dead or alive
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive
I won't play Mustang Sally
We'll have write up, Nickelback, L.A.
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive, dead or alive
