Say what I need I kick you down No I'm fine, and don't you hang around And I find myself here in another home Where everything moves so slow So tired Take the longest day, throw it all away I can't stand it but I can't do anything Everyday's the same, nothing ever change I can't stand it but I can't do anything You should know by now we're all liars Take me where you go, only higher Take the longest day, waste it all away I can't stand it but I can't do anything Everyday's the same, nothing ever change I can't stand it but I can't do anything Can't do anything Anything you want Anything you want Anything Take the longest day, throw it all away I can't stand it but I can't do anything Everyday's the same, nothing ever change I can't stand it but I can't do anything (x3) Here in another home Where everything moves so slow So tired |

I spend too much time raiding windmills We go side by side, laugh until it's right There's something that you won't show Waiting where the light goes Take the darkest hour, break it open Water to repair what we have broken There's something that you won't show Waiting where the light goes Maybe any way the wind blows It's all worth waiting for Pull on the borders to lighten the load Tell all the passengers we're going home I spend too much time seeking shelter World without end couldn't hold her There's something that you won't show Waiting where the light goes Maybe any way the wind blows It's all worth waiting for Any way the wind blows |

So suddenly Where was my mind What was I thinking of I lost control You could have died I could have killed you But when we recovered I only thought of you And when you saw my hands You shuddered I realized How much I cared for you I slip sometimes I can be cruel I can say stupid things But after crimes Pardoned And pride follows behind me But when we recovered I only thought of you And light remaining after thunder I realized How much I cared for you |

Line of people to pass you by Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes With the ladies feigning their mourning cries And the men shaking hands: Weigh away Way away All the pictures in your mind As you're passed the thousandth time Thousandth photograph Listen to sympathetic lies As their reasons change under mourning guise With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs And drinking champagne: Weigh away Way away As all the people pass and pose You hold back the tears And hold onto memories Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud Saying nothing real but deafening loud An urge to run away from the crowd And mourn all alone: Make a promise to no-one Wondering if you'd been worthwhile Turn away from the chatter And the hungry smiles |

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail Where are we going, so far away And somebody told me that this is the place Where everything's better, everything's safe Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone And half and hour later we packed up our things We said we'd send letters and all those little things And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone (x2) Now we're back at the homestead Where the air makes you choke And people don't know you And trust is a joke We don't even have pictures Just memories to hold That grow sweeter each season As we slowly grow old |

So how, how did I lose the thread?
When you reeled it in again I could be caught on that line Spending my time swimming with you Your love is often unkind, bitter and blind Sometimes casually cruel but it's true but it's true You give more than you would ever take Forgive the mess I leave in my wake I'm inconsistent at best Never at rest, ever the fool I'm always stumbling around knocking things down But whatever else I do I'll be true I'll be true I'll be true You're in and out of my hands Slipping like sand, passing like time Your love is brutally bold, careless and cold But it's mine, mine I won't tell you a lie, so be careful what you ask me I don't care, I don't mind if you never understand me Every day, every night I can promise you I can promise you I'll be true I'll be true True |

take your cautionary tales
take your incremental gain and all the sychophantic games and throw 'em all away burn your tv in your yard and gather 'round it with your friends and warm your hands upon the fire and start again take the story you've been told the lies that justify the pain the guilt the weighs upon your soul and throw 'em all away tear up the calendar you've bought and throw the pieces to the sky confetti falling down like rain like a parade to usher in your life take the dreams that should have died the ones that kept you lying awake when you should've been all right and throw 'em all away with the time i waste on the life i never had i could've turned myself into a better man 'cause there ain't nothing you can buy and there is nothing you can save to fill the whole inside your heart so throw it all away won't fill the whole inside your heart help me empty out this house the wool i've gathered all these days and thought i couldn't do without and throw it all away |

Some look and all they fin Are problems and alibis But my cup is one sixteenth full I'm getting there, but the getting's slow When I am released And the gates fly open before me When I am released Will you still be waiting for me?

Or could it be they fear the joy of life?

Wouldn't know any more than home And couldn't see much further And light won't help A wound untended grows And never heals Standing face to east Waiting for an answer But the only sound is desert wind And when the wind was cold Bundled up and packed away we shiver still Finding more than one wind blows I couldn't sleep Something kept me still and wide awake And gnawing at my breast Something I don't know I couldn't shake it Laying face to wall Plaster tells me nothing But I sense a movement somewhere else And 'though it's far away Bundled up in safety here I shiver still Finding more than one wind blows He walked alone Facing wind and snow Moving slowly He staggers, moves again Somehow stronger now The wind won't touch him CHORUS |

No I'm just fine You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine No, I've changed my mind I'll take nanci, for you Loretta's fine And still we walk without quite seeing things And I'll admit there's not that much to see I will follow through And expect that you will follow suit And I can't believe you You bend your words like Uri Geller's spoons Not quite safe here When every judgement seems to smack of doom Are you ok? I'm just fine You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine No, I've changed my mind I'll take Nanci, for you Loretta's fine Loretta's fine Loretta's fine |

little man big man who came first
what is the measure of our worth if there was a storm rolled in who'd run inside who'd go walking little man big man what's inside it's all in the places where we find our pride if there was a soul lost by the road who'd pass by who'd take it home where is the beast lying is there a beast hiding little man big man who is who it's all in the damage that our toys can do if there was a rock and a window pane who'd throw stones who'd walk away where is the beast lying is there a beast hiding are we learning are we moving little man big man fade away it's all in the in the violence of the games we play it's all in the in the violence of the games we play it's all in the love we give today |

Lyrics by: Glen Phillips opened my eyes the fire had come not for the end of days not for the faithless ones not for vision understood burns because it has to burn change'll happen whether we are still or moving breathe in waves of doubt bitter in your mouth you will exhale cinnamon clouds when it is quiet and still i can feel older here change what i can and pray the hope will not disappear when we are not denying anything nothing is an enemy delicately balancing the perfect world ride these waves of doubt bitter in your mouth you will exhale cinnamon clouds little heaven riding waves of doubt turns me inside out i will exhale primal shout little heaven i understand the fire will come not for the strength of will or passion of anyone i understand the fire will come not for the end of days not for the faithless ones |

Well I wonder, do we learn? Seems we're making the same wrong turns Call you sacred, call you obscene Call you faithless, call you anything Call and you listen Listen (x3) I'm a liar, so it seems My desire could justify anything So is there nothing that lies in between This cold silence and a scream? Scream, listen Listen (x3) Caught in headlines We are frozen and cannot hide There's no break, no time If you can, I might Call and you listen Listen (x7 |

Should I have believed I was still a boy
Naive and sane, protected wholly Tongue-tied and restless Breathing of futures Know me; I am not a child 'Though you have age You have not felt the pain... Should I have remained obedient and docile So far restrained The hands that hold me back Could break my bones As each one snaps I hate my home Far on my way I should know, I was born here Know me Am I just some fool? Am I far from ready? Just let me fall and I'll believe you. Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack Know me before you kill what I want to be And leave me cold Bled white And feeling old Far on my way I should know, I was born here Know me--know all I am Far on my way I was cold then I exploded Know me |

Written by Toad The Wet Sprocket Been two weeks now Kitchen stinks now Finally got the guts to saunter in And don a pair of gloves And the janitor sleeping in a drum Janitor I've become Bubbles bristles Thorns and thistles Liquid sticks to things That never should be seen by anyone Like the janitor sleeping in a drum Janitor I've become And it amazes me how easily things go away A chemical for every need And someone else's problem when I leave Is the janitor sleeping in a drum Janitor you'll become You'll become. |

Through the door, What do I see? Bradley says it's haunted The house upon the hill And if we meet at 4 a.m. Then we could know for sure We carried the ladders And leaned them against it And climbed them as we looked Someone kicked the ladder Bradley took a spill Said his leg was broken so we Dragged him down the hill And through the door What do I see? (it happens) Something is happening Is it for me? Mom found out the whole thing Mine was first to call Bradley's leg healed badly At least he still can walk We leave in the morning and No one will hear us and Meet in the clearing and I'll bring the sandwiches David, come quickly You're missing the whole thing Now open your big eyes Take in the sunrise And through the door What do I see?

One part of me just wants to tell you everything One part just needs the quiet And if I'm lonely here, I'm lonely here And on the telephone, you offer reassurance I will not take these things for granted I will not take these things... How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry? It needs a strength I haven't found But if it's frightening, I'll bear the cold And on the telephone, you offer warm asylum I'm listening, flowers in the garden Laughter in the hall, children in the park I will not take these things for granted (x3) I will not take these things...anymore To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me To feel this accepting That it is lonely here, but not alone And on the telephone, you offer visions dancing I'm listening, music in the bedroom Laughter in the hall, dive into the ocean Singing by the fire, running through the forest Standing in the wind, the rolling canyons I will not take these things for granted (x3) I will not take these things...anymore |

a bird upon a roof with coal-black feathers cocks his head to catch my eye wandering and unfocused i cannot meet his stare he takes to wing silhouette against the sun surrounded by the glare funny how the days go by invisibly and faster than i realize the things i think about strange to find the calendar my enemy and scared that when i die so will the things i think about i believe in so many things i know that none of them are true and my feet firm upon a pathway i am far too blind to see leading me funny how the days go by invisibly and faster than i realize the things i think about scared to find the calendar my enemy and when i die so will the thousand things i think about on and on and on... |

Why try
When everything I do feels half right? I wander through my life Everything I say seems half right Sometimes I'm standing here High on a riverbed And light breaks through And everything feels good for a while High on a riverbed Where am I When everything I do feels half right? How can I be satisfied Writing words from someone else's lies? Sometimes I'm standing here High on a riverbed And light breaks through And everything feels good for a while High on a riverbed Light breaks through I see myself sometimes Vision is a mystery half blind I keep missing all the time Seeing what I could be if I... If I... Sometimes I'm standing here High on a riverbed And light breaks through And everything feels good for a while High on a riverbed Light breaks through And everything feels good for a while High on a riverbed Light breaks through And everything feels good for a while High on a riverbed Light breaks through And everything feels good for a while |

Standing in the rain, Bullfrog Doing it again some kind of happiness is measured out in miles what makes you think you're something special when you smile Child-like No one understands, Jack knife In your sweaty hands, some kind of solitude is measured out in years you don't know what it's like to listen to your fears You can talk to me you can talk to me you can talk to me if you're lonely you can talk to me Big man Walking in the park Whigwam Frightened of the dark Some kind of innocence is measured out in you You think you know me but you haven't got a clue You can talk to me if you're lonely you can talk to me |

Take whatever you're needing Take whatever you can We're broken from within Run to another land Like water through my hands Or is it just beginning But if he's all you say Would he fly from Heaven To this world again To this world again... They took my brother They ripped him from me To twist his words as they did his body Denied his family, denied his beauty To lay him down at the feet of Those he couldn't save Couldn't save, couldn't save Will it be the end?

Curled 'round a woman and turned out the light And I finally got it figured out But it's too late to go back now Proud as a lion of your new obsession Tongue of a liar, little recollection And there's no use in keeping score Cause no one plays fair anymore And the voices trailing doubt Are finally fading out Finally fading Gave all the right answers to all the wrong questions And you burned a few bridges when they raised objections And I probably shouldn't think out loud But it's too late to take it back now And the voices trailing doubt Are finally fading out Finally fading Whatever they said Just have to swallow it Whatever you did No use in bothering Get out of my head Out of my head And the voices trailing doubt Are finally fading out The voices trailing doubt Are finally fading out Finally fading Finally fading out |

They all just seem boring Oh you tease, you taunt, You don't you know what you want You're too cool, too hot; I'm wishing I'd forgotten But there is no bottom, no there is no bottom I just keep on falling Oh, I just keep on falling Are we alright? Are we still here? Are we alive? Does anybody still care? Oh you tease, you taunt You're everything I want You're too cool, too hot, I'm wishing I forgotten But there is no bottom No there is no bottom Oh there is no bottom, and I just keep on falling Oh I just keep on falling And I just keep on falling I just keep on falling |

She said "I'm fine, I'm okay" cover up your trembling hands There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left When the good times never stay And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away When will we fall When will we fall down chorus: Jump back, got to get out of here Been too long this time Jump back, got to get out of here When will, when will we fall down She hates her life, she hates her skin, she even hates all her friends Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend And there's some chance we could fail But the last time someone was always there for bail When will we fall When will we fall down chorus She said "I'm fine, I'm okay" cover up your trembling hands There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left For the last time conscience calls For a good friend I was never there at all When will we fall When will we fall down |

I was eighteen, so were you
I was that birkenstock geek rock dude You were the back-flip, doe-eyed Tree-climbing earth mama Beautiful evergreen girl I never thought that I could be Getting my grey hairs with you beside me And there's something I'm blind to But you still see And it couldn't be better, I know And it shouldn't be easier, oh I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall I want to be the toy in your cereal box I want to be carter at your peace talks I want to get almost too familiar But still notice the way that you walk And if you said you were going away I'd run on the tarmac And I would lay down in front of the plane Just to get you to stay 'Cause it couldn't be better, I know And it shouldn't be easier, oh I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall Got everything i'd ever wanted here Everything and then this constant fear Sure I'm gonna lose it all Just waiting for the other boot to fall And if you thought I could be replaced I wouldn't just stop with an ear I would cut off my whole fucking face Just to make my point clear That it couldn't be better, I know It shouldn't be easier, oh I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall Waiting for the other boot to fall |

Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door
Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor Mama's thinking family dinners weren't too much to ask for Everybody here's got a story to tell Everybody's been through their own hell There's nothing too special about getting hurt Getting over it, that takes the work Cause one way or another, we'll all need each other Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover Cause everything comes out the way it should Blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the weak Blessed are the ones on the other side Blessed are we for just being alive One day I stopped wanting anything at all The heavens opened up like a waterfall No use in worrying about when it ends Just for now be thankful for what I get Cause one way or another, a man's gonna suffer It makes no difference the way you wanted it But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover Cause everything comes out the way it should in the end Seems like life is a palindrome You cry when you die, you cry when you're born In between it's all about the ups and downs Add 'em all together, they cancel each other out Cause one way or another One way or another You won't get what you wanted You'll get enough, for sure One way or another Winter pays for the summer Won't get what you wanted What you got'll be good Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor Mama's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for |

I've got gardens growing, got quiet days
Clothes on my back and food on my plate Got friends to help me if I call for them Well I don't need anything that I don't have I've got eyes to see this beautiful land Feet to take me where I want to stand If there's work to be done There's these two strong hands Well I don't need anything that I don't have I don't need anything that I don't have And some years the rains don't come Some years floods clear out the plains But if those waters wash this town away I would still have enough If she was with me I've got a roof overhead, stars if I choose But I've no need to fly, I've got no itch to move I've got almost nothing, but I understand That I don't need anything that I don't have I don't need anything that I don't have |

> we were sharing so many words and feelings
age is heavier, it seems, than years alone but, i told you things i wouldn't dream of telling anyone are we drifting out, like flowers from a forgotten someone don't go away i can't feel the same without you we were making so many plans and secrets we would both be millionaires or kings or presidents but like everything those little dreams just kind of came and went hard now just to make end meet how soon we al forget |
