J Mascis

I been thinking through the night
Everybody's so uptight
People hurt and that's their right
Cut 'em all loose, think I might
Stewin', hangin' out in town
And my head whirlin' around
Don't trust your mind, it'll let you down
Don't have a thing to go on

I don't know a thing to say to you...

There's a time and there's a place
It's not now, it's time to pace
Things I'd say but just can't face
All it means to say them
I could believe the things I feel
Then tomorrow get the same deal
Am I acting on something real?
Or am I blowing it again?

Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why

Hey, it's all on your head
Hey, is that what you said?
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A time to even say

Hey, it's goin' no place
Hey, don't give me that face
I know why, I know why

Hey, be better this time
Hey, get out of my mind
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A single thing to say

Tell me now, tell me now

Things happen and no one told me You can't think, you can't drink it You laughed again then you rode me I won't drop it, you can't stop it now Hey lady, where you goin'? Hey lady, why ain't it snowing? Were you riding the chair alone? Hey lady, where's your friend? Hey lady, blew you off again Don't worry, I'll ride you up to the top Hey lady, sorry, that's the last stop I'll see you I'll see you All the way down I'll see you In the large flying cloud I'll see you I'll see you All the way down In the large flying cloud

Hey, what's on your mind? Hey, what's that got left behind? Tension running, how?, what for? Don't think I'm into you anymore Falling off the pace Run into you most every place And I hardly go outside Let's take a little ride I don't know, man, you decide How'd you pin that one on me? Haven't even done it yet How can that be? My move or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket I disappear I would agree That's a distinct possibility Wrap my leg around the table I'll make the trip when I'm more stable Gotta cut that one leg free Hobblin' around, hold out for me I'll leave the house when I'm less scared Don't make me go, I'm not prepared Hey, what's on your mind? Hey, what's that got left behind? Was it me you saved that for? What's down at the core? Hey, I seen that look before Weren't you using that on me? Do you slap that glaze On every guy you see? My move or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket [Solo] I don't know why you see me I don't know a thing to be My m
ove or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket

I saw you down across the water
You're floating safely in the way you do
Then I scrammed before you saw me
I've gotta keep thinking you wanted to

By the shoreline, will you be fine? Or will it cover you?
And when you taste it, will you embrace it? What will you let it do to you?

Grab a look across the water
We grab a smile and then you're gone a while
With you it'd be across the water
When I'm losing it I like your style

By the shoreline, will you be fine? Or will it cover you?
And when you taste it, will you embrace it? What will you let it do to you?

Come on, baby
Drive me out of mind
Mind if I come home, along with you
And see what you do
This is crazy
And nothing more I want to see
The sea is not the safest place to sit and be so spacy

Scary things across the water
You'd never know till they have their way with you
You won't catch me deep in the water
However much I want to play with you

Don't stay in long
No one's that strong
Enough, not to crumble
Whenever the water wants you
Don't be so crazed
I'm just tryin' to save
You from losing everything you've got
This is no time to rot
Don't be fooled by
All the coolness rushing by
Don't let it grab your mind
Pull out now or you will find
All you strive for
Nothing, gone, no more
You're his servant now

I know these things have passed you by I know it's tough to even try It's such a different kind of scene I know you don't know what I mean Yeah well, I tried to tell you before I know all you want is more I'll always tell you different stuff No matter what won't be enough I figure it'll be cool sometime After I've cooked everyone I find I can only take it to that certain place It's just not cool, look at your face Whenever you get in my face There's something strange I start to taste Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back It's all restrain I'm gettin' these days Is it okay or am I out of place So everytime you see me now You psyche for a minute Till you remember how I crawl here inside In mind with muck You stopped smiling Remember how everything sucked Dancing around what I could say Cause I just can't live that way Hold back, that's not enough to stay Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day
Steppin' out, I tried to fix it
Pulled a thumb out of that hole
Give me ingredients, I'll mix it
How can you move without a goal
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day
An excuse is all you're in for
The abuse is all you crave
Sure you know just what is in store
Wait and see if I'll behave
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day
There's a time, just let me know now
When it's with you I'll be glad
That I was right there just to show you
At least it's more than what you had
There never really is a good time
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

I picture things a certain way.
Then go back to it another day.
The green mind said it's okay...
Cause you know where they're gonna be.
All's you have to do is come with me.
It's cool, they're probably asleep.

On the outside,
that's where they always hide.
Come to my side
and I'll introduce you to...
some of their kind.
I know you've always tried.
And now it's your time to take in their point of view,
though it's nothing new.

I been bouncin' off the wall,
I can't handle them for long.
They're cool, but I need you...
On a certain level I think they're great,
but on another I can't relate...
to anything they do.

On the outside,
might be with them tonight.
Unless you decide to come n' I'll check out you.
Hangin' heavy such a routine,
I've just begun to forget
why I seldom try to break out of their scene.
And now I gotta work on you,
so the frogs will hang and they'll always be hangin'...
Now we're here, what do we do?

I've been sortin' through the pros,
and cons of your eyes, farewell toads.
Can't you help move it along?
I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...

[Solo]

On the outside...
well, it'll be a while.
I gotta unfry 'fore I pick it up with you.(Help me)
Do I need that stable care?
Don't I know that they'll be there?
Does that count now you've appeared?
Do I need that stable core?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear?

I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...
It's a call that's tough to make.
It could be a big mistake.
Can't you help move it along?
If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel,
eventually you'll split,
then I won't have to deal.(Sounds like a plan)
But it's kind of lame to let it slide,
knowin' either way I haven't tried.
Can't figure out where it all stands...
In a green mind...

there's no goin' back to that
i'm so numb, can't even react
didn't say it's not ok
but we aren't dealin' the same way

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye

it's the last thing on my mind
still you won't let things unwind
spinnin' tight around your head
can't you hear a word i've said

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye

when you call it's just not fair
it's the last thing you should share
i can't deal, i'll let you know
still i wish you'd let it go

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye

i'm tellin' you for one last time
it's not just you
the problem's mine to hide
i waited as long as i could
if you need it, sure i would
that's fine

well, there's no goin' back to that
i'm so numb can't even react
didn't say it's not ok
but we aren't dealin' the same way

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye

i'm tellin' you for one last time
it's not just you
the problem's mine to hide

i waited as long as i could
if you need it, sure i would
that's fine

i'm takin' away a lot of stuff
i'm tellin' you it's rough
but not goodbye

I'd like to see you In the morning In the evening But you need a warning I'd like to see you It's a last ditch C'mon you gotta Ain't sayin' there's not a hitch Well, come on out now It's the only way Can't think I know how Is that all you're gonna let me say? I'd like to see you Don't you miss it? Lied again today And now I wish that You'd believe me when I need to You should be weary, I would if I were you Can I come along? I can't take the strain Now what else is wrong? Sure, I'll take the blame I'd like to see you In the morning In the evening But you need a warning I'd like to see you Don't you miss it? Lied again today Now I wish that...

You'd believe me when I need to You should be weary, I would if I were you Can I come along? I can't take the strain Now what else is wrong? Sure, I'll take the blame Come on out now It's the only way Can't think I know how. Is that all you're gonna let me say? You got things to do So, what else is new? Won't you give me some? Bring it back for me Won't you come and see? You're the only one So, what else is new? So, what else is new? You got things to do So, what else is new? Won't you give me some? Bring it back for me Won't you come and see? You're the only one You're the only one You're the only one

I'd like to come and see you
But what's it worth to know?
Promise you'll make it easy
You won't get me to go

I've been a wreck so long it's hard to pull it back,
but I'm on it,
and I want it,
and you flaunt it...
and it wakes me,
and it takes me,
and it rapes me

Gone away.
On the way

I want to let you go
I got a little red
Just can't pull it together
Before it goes to your head

Gone away.
On the way
On the way
On the way

[Solo]

I'd like to come and see you
But I think I'm on my way

Gone away
Gone away
On the way
On the way
On the way
Gone away

I've been a wreck so long,
it's hard to pull it out
Look to me,
I feel the fool again.

On this day where you're so messed it's clear
Can't explain the road you roam
Anyone who's been

As I walk with you,
It chills me so
To hear you say it's come to this, tell me this I care.

In a dream I always talk to you
You seem fine again, my sweet
Feels alright to me Is it right for you?

Flippin' out I try to call to you
Til' you come to me
Tell me what to do

And I know it's not the same, there's no blame
-Still I bother you-
And you say it's not true, dear, it's mine to fear
-Follow on through-

Come alive I know you'll sing with me
I won't sing to you
It's not a thing I do

Has it been a different feel for you?
Whole time this was goin' on
Or is it something new?

And I know it's not the same, there's no blame
-Still I bother you-
And you say it's not true, dear, it's mine to fear
-We won't coexist-
Any way you're not the same, it's the blame
-Follow on through-

It's a lingering that comes to me
Does it come to you?
Are we really through?

Any guy would do this thing for me
It's not much to ask
Why can't you?

I'm not gonna say I've had my way
You sure saw to that
What else can I do?

You promised so much, lied with every touch
I believed in you.
Follow along through.

I don't see you, I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Guess, it's on and on

On a day, maybe I'd show you
But it's the least of all I go through
But the thing is I don't know you
And it's on and on

Trembling words
Don't make my eyes close
And if anyone then you'd know
I can't find out 'cause it won't show
And it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray that maybe you're right
But if you don't, maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

When it takes too long
I lose it I'll just hang while you abuse it
If you knew then why'd you choose it
'Cause it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

Anytime I'm there to show you
But if it takes too long I know you
Out the door just leavin' me screwed
And it's on and on
Everytime I try to fight it It's so hard to seem excited
And if you don't turn I'll bite it
And it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

[Solo]

I don't see you, I won't call you I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Yes, it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray maybe that you're right
But if you don't maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

[Solo]

Do you know that it's alright?
I been thinkin', seein' that's not how it's gotta be
Ain't sayin' if it's worth the fight
I'm a space but you can count on me to save your place
And I know it's all to do with you and me
Do you know if you're against the deal?
We'll wait and see
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend

Did you know I heard your voice?
When I call to see if you're around, I have no choice
Then the news is in my face
Took a step to let the feeling go and lost my place

And I swear I hear the same thing every night
Once again no accounted for the hours I spent
Baked as any time I drifted out of sight
Remember when you didn't need this time to mend

Anywhere you'd like to go
Would it help to be inside the life I couldn't know?
If you shake it, it won't show
Hold out for me, 'cause bailin' at this point is really low.

And I know it's all to do with just a friend
And I can't decipher messages you send
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend [Solo]

You know it hurts me To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time What about someday? To know you're laughin' there is messin' with my mind Damage setting in Tell me where you been Try not to ask again Breakouts I can't defend Twisted messages I send I walk over and we smile and all get set Where we take up Is where I wake up It's a vice that's feelin' tight around my head I can't place it Still can't waste it It's kind of useless To tell you everything that needs to end today I'd be confused less If you'd just grab me your way, then be on your way I can't let it go Starting to really show Don't you think I've tried?

Don't you want it inside? What could be left to hide? [Solo] You know it hurts me To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time It sure seems lonesome But you're still hangin' there, it's messin' with my mind You can't expect much Not so out of touch If I ask again Nothing I'll defend But I can pretend I walked over and we smile and all the rest Where we take up Is where I wake up It's a two ton weight that's wrapped around my chest I just knew it Can't get through it And now it's finally just inches from my eye I can't place it Still can't waste it When you stomp on the last thing I've left to try Is where I wake up

In the place you said you'd meet me, I don't see you hanging around -i'm goin' home- if that's all you ever tell me, seems you don't wanna be found -and I'm goin' home- don't come over, I can't

"Just me, no simile, never flow simpily, cause it was meant
to be, the
truth, the truth, and nothing but the truth, I tell it to
the youth,
propelling with the proof, in the puddin', wouldn't you like
to know?
Oh, no you didn't, my flows never quittin', and that's the
truth, the
mothephfuckin' truth my man."
I'm on the scrimmage

I do my best to mute MCs
all it takes is intelligence
I'm great with embellishments

so Del is sent...
"Yeah, the truth, the truth, the nothing but the truth, I

I know your name
I know the people out there feel the same
I know you're gone
I hope you've got some friends to come along

I know you're out there
I know you're gone
You can't say that's fair
Can't you be wrong?

I feel ok
Sure, I know that's not what people say
Maybe they're wrong
Maybe you weren't on my side all along

I know you're out there
I know you're gone
You can't say that's fair
Can't you be wrong?

I know you're out there
You're still a case
It's still the place
Weren't you invited?
It's what you can't spare
Whatever's left, just hide the rest
And bring it right in

I know it's sick
I know you think again it's just a trick
Maybe I've changed
Just tell me was this all in vain?

I know you're out there
I know this face it's not erased
Weren't you invited?
It's what you can't spare
Whatever's left, just hide the rest
And bring it right in

Maintained inside
I've lost my range
Feeling strange
Weren't you invited?
Just never tried
It's still the place
You're still the case
Now bring it right in

Come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on with me
And tell me all about it
I needed to feel you there
Oh you'll doubt it

Come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on with me
And tell me all about it
I needed to feel you there
Oh you'll doubt it

Just come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on with me
Tell me all about it

Please don't leave me not like this
What about all that we'll miss
Done it all and what a waste
I don't want this rage misplaced

Please don't leave me, not just yet
'Cause it's brutal, can't forget
Nothin' else we could have done
Still it's killin' me you're gone

Well, come on with me
Tell me all about it
I needed to feel you there
Oh you'll doubt it

Come on with me
And tell me all about it
I needed to feel you there
Never doubt it

Just come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on with me
Tell me all about it
Come on, come on

There's a way I feel right now
Wish you'd help me, don't know how
We're all nuts so who helps who
Some help when no one's got a clue

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?

There's a place I'd like to go
When you get there then I'll know
There's a place I know you've been
Here's a wagon, get on it

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we? Why don't we?

You won't see me, You won't see me
There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand
You won't see me, You won't see me
I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me, You won't see me
You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me, You won't see me

There's a place I go,
But you're not there,
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where
You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flakin'
While you're shakin' it
With every stone you fly
Without a mind, without a spine
What is it that you wanna find

[Solo]

There's a place I go,
But you're not there,
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where
You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flalin'
While you're sailin' off
Without a course in mind
Without a mind, without a dock
What is it that you wanna find

There's a place I'd like to go
When you get there then I'll know
There's a place I know you've been
Here's a wagon, get on it

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we? Why don't we?

You won't see me, You won't see me
There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand
You won't see me, You won't see me
I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me, You won't see me
You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me, You won't see me

I been thinking through the night
Everybody's so uptight
People hurt and that's their right
Cut 'em all loose, think I might
Stewin', hangin' out in town
And my head whirlin' around
Don't trust your mind, it'll let you down
Don't have a thing to go on

I don't know a thing to say to you...

There's a time and there's a place
It's not now, it's time to pace
Things I'd say but just can't face
All it means to say them
I could believe the things I feel
Then tomorrow get the same deal
Am I acting on something real?
Or am I blowing it again?

Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why

Hey, it's all on your head
Hey, is that what you said?
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A time to even say

Hey, it's goin' no place
Hey, don't give me that face
I know why, I know why

Hey, be better this time
Hey, get out of my mind
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A single thing to say

Tell me now, tell me now

Things happen and no one told me You can't think, you can't drink it You laughed again then you rode me I won't drop it, you can't stop it now Hey lady, where you goin'? Hey lady, why ain't it snowing? Were you riding the chair alone? Hey lady, where's your friend? Hey lady, blew you off again Don't worry, I'll ride you up to the top Hey lady, sorry, that's the last stop I'll see you I'll see you All the way down I'll see you In the large flying cloud I'll see you I'll see you All the way down In the large flying cloud

Hey, what's on your mind? Hey, what's that got left behind? Tension running, how?, what for? Don't think I'm into you anymore Falling off the pace Run into you most every place And I hardly go outside Let's take a little ride I don't know, man, you decide How'd you pin that one on me? Haven't even done it yet How can that be? My move or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket I disappear I would agree That's a distinct possibility Wrap my leg around the table I'll make the trip when I'm more stable Gotta cut that one leg free Hobblin' around, hold out for me I'll leave the house when I'm less scared Don't make me go, I'm not prepared Hey, what's on your mind? Hey, what's that got left behind? Was it me you saved that for? What's down at the core? Hey, I seen that look before Weren't you using that on me? Do you slap that glaze On every guy you see? My move or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket [Solo] I don't know why you see me I don't know a thing to be My m
ove or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket

I saw you down across the water
You're floating safely in the way you do
Then I scrammed before you saw me
I've gotta keep thinking you wanted to

By the shoreline, will you be fine? Or will it cover you?
And when you taste it, will you embrace it? What will you let it do to you?

Grab a look across the water
We grab a smile and then you're gone a while
With you it'd be across the water
When I'm losing it I like your style

By the shoreline, will you be fine? Or will it cover you?
And when you taste it, will you embrace it? What will you let it do to you?

Come on, baby
Drive me out of mind
Mind if I come home, along with you
And see what you do
This is crazy
And nothing more I want to see
The sea is not the safest place to sit and be so spacy

Scary things across the water
You'd never know till they have their way with you
You won't catch me deep in the water
However much I want to play with you

Don't stay in long
No one's that strong
Enough, not to crumble
Whenever the water wants you
Don't be so crazed
I'm just tryin' to save
You from losing everything you've got
This is no time to rot
Don't be fooled by
All the coolness rushing by
Don't let it grab your mind
Pull out now or you will find
All you strive for
Nothing, gone, no more
You're his servant now

I know these things have passed you by I know it's tough to even try It's such a different kind of scene I know you don't know what I mean Yeah well, I tried to tell you before I know all you want is more I'll always tell you different stuff No matter what won't be enough I figure it'll be cool sometime After I've cooked everyone I find I can only take it to that certain place It's just not cool, look at your face Whenever you get in my face There's something strange I start to taste Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back It's all restrain I'm gettin' these days Is it okay or am I out of place So everytime you see me now You psyche for a minute Till you remember how I crawl here inside In mind with muck You stopped smiling Remember how everything sucked Dancing around what I could say Cause I just can't live that way Hold back, that's not enough to stay Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
I'm pretty good
Not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

Stepping out I tried to fix it
Pull the thumb out of that hole
Give me ingredients I'll mix it
How can you move without a goal?

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
I'm prety good
Not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

An excuse is all you're in for

The abuse is all you crave
Sure you know just what is in store
Wait and see if I'll behave

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
I'm pretty good
Not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

There's a time just let me know now
When it's with you I'll be glad
That I was right there just to show you
At least it's more than what you had

There never really is a good time

"Thumb", Dinosaur Jr., _Green Mind

I picture things a certain way.
Then go back to it another day.
The green mind said it's okay...
Cause you know where they're gonna be.
All's you have to do is come with me.
It's cool, they're probably asleep.

On the outside,
that's where they always hide.
Come to my side
and I'll introduce you to...
some of their kind.
I know you've always tried.
And now it's your time to take in their point of view,
though it's nothing new.

I been bouncin' off the wall,
I can't handle them for long.
They're cool, but I need you...
On a certain level I think they're great,
but on another I can't relate...
to anything they do.

On the outside,
might be with them tonight.
Unless you decide to come n' I'll check out you.
Hangin' heavy such a routine,
I've just begun to forget
why I seldom try to break out of their scene.
And now I gotta work on you,
so the frogs will hang and they'll always be hangin'...
Now we're here, what do we do?

I've been sortin' through the pros,
and cons of your eyes, farewell toads.
Can't you help move it along?
I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...

[Solo]

On the outside...
well, it'll be a while.
I gotta unfry 'fore I pick it up with you.(Help me)
Do I need that stable care?
Don't I know that they'll be there?
Does that count now you've appeared?
Do I need that stable core?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear?

I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...
It's a call that's tough to make.
It could be a big mistake.
Can't you help move it along?
If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel,
eventually you'll split,
then I won't have to deal.(Sounds like a plan)
But it's kind of lame to let it slide,
knowin' either way I haven't tried.
Can't figure out where it all stands...
In a green mind...

Come on with me... tell me all about it.
Come on with me... tell me all about it.

Come on with me and tell me all about it. I needed to feel you there, yeah doubt it.

Come on with me... tell me all about it.
Come on with me... tell me all about it.

Come on with me and tell me all about it. I needed to feel you there, yeah doubt it.

Just come on with me... and tell me all about it.
Come on with me... tell me all about it.

Please don't leave me, not like this
What about all that we'll miss
Done it all and what a waste
I don't want this rage misplaced
Please don't leave me, not just yet
Cause it's brutal, can't forget
Nothing else we could have done
Still it's killing me you're gone...

Come on with me and tell me all about it. I needed to feel you there, yeah doubt it.
Come on with me and tell me all about it. I needed to feel you there, never doubt it.

Just come on with me... tell me all about it.
Come on with me... tell me all about it.


Come on...
Come on...

Less room to face
Less time to drive it no place
Whatever's cool with me
'cause i got nothin' happenin' that's cool
Just then i catch you under
Junk mind i always wonder
What it is that gets me about you
Those eyes they open wide
And i get psyched
For them to tear right through
I been away since friday
And you don't know the way, yeah
I been away since tuesday
And you don't know the way, yeah
I been away
I been away since tuesday
I'll be the girl you want
And when you wanted
Me to be for you
I fall and fall the window
Is it good time to fly
And hang a brew
And maybe it's too soon
Can i keep it together
Long enough to say my words to you
I been away since friday
And you don't know the way, yeah
I been away since tuesday
And you don't know the way, yeah
I can't take it back today
You wouldn't give it anyway
I'm sayin' what i just can't say
It's just not the thing to be
Can't figure out a way to play
It up so that you wanna say
Whatever's cool with me
I been away
I been away since tuesday
I'll be the girl you want
And when you wanted
Me to be for you
But i can't take it back today
You wouldn't give it anyway
It's just not the thing to be
But i don't think to pace my day
Or figure out if it's okay
Whatever's cool with me
I can't take it back today
I'm sayin' what i just can't say
It's just not the thing to be
Can't figure out a way to play
It up so that you wanna say
Whatever's cool with me

Flyin' sideways cause
I can't rely on me to
Get you there
Only one way
I could tell you not to stall
Antique is rare
Flyin' sideways
Cause it's the only way to get to
Where you're going
It's the same day
But i feel it callin' me
Instead i've flown
Flyin' sideways cause
I can't rely on me to
Get you there
Only one way
I could tell you not to stall
Antique is rare

I thought of the blob today
I thought of you
I thought of the mess i made again
How do i do it
Now when it leaves your hand
Just understand
That i'm the one it missed
Right through a piece
I've been keepin' away
You really can't resist
I thought of the blob today
I thought of you
I thought of the mess i made again
How do i do it
I got no advice about anything
Just fuck it up yourself
Is she the kind of girl
That's worth getting
In such a sticky mess
If i say a word just stop me
Cause i relly should shut up
Guess i'll split now
Just forget you met me
Forget i brought it up
I thought of the blob today
I thought of you
I thought of the mess i made again
How do i do it
Hey girl, now walk me home
No, drive me home
Now pick me up again
Waiting for things to change
I'll rearrange stuff
No, not you again
If i say a word just stop me
Cause i really should shut up
Guess i'll split now
Just forget you met me
Sorry i fucked it all up again

Stay afloat
Pebbles and weeds grow in my throat
I can't keep this up for long
I know it shows
There's always a ways to go
So what, there's always something wrong
Your thoughts are twisted and unkind
You should've scrubbed that from your mind
They're here
No doubting it
The lights are wired
Dig it, you will find
Life's taken all the fragrant blows
Couple of things are cool
Still most shit blows
Least it can be different
Then u know
Power, feel the power
I'm in a state
My that black shit tastes great
So what's your problem with
It's shit
Stay afloat
Pebbles and weeds grow in my throat
I can't keep this up for long
I know it shows
There's always a ways to go
So what, there's always something wrong
Your thoughts are twisted and unkind
You should've scrubbed that from your mind
Fearful and low

I'm closer to the golden dawn
I can't believe the wagon's gone
It's history
I'm living in a callous realm
Where others seem to dig it
Just too much reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And i ain't got the wagon anymore
No, i ain't got the wagon anymore
I'm the twisted name on uma's eyes
I'm living proof of cindy's lies
Of destiny
I'm drawing between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
I can't see anything
Should i leave the engine on
To listen to that mountain song
Sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And i ain't got the wagon anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Not too stable
Hanging by a string
Can't face the thoughts
No wheels will bring
I gotta go
It's bad enough being at home
Without a way to leave the damage
Is gonna show
If i don't explain
What you oughta know
You can tell me all about it
At the next ball show
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And i ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say

Stepping out I tried to fix it
Pull the thumb out of that hole
Give me ingredients I'll mix it
How can you move without a goal?

At least it's more than what you had

"Thumb", Dinosaur Jr., _Green Mind

Hey babe, where'd you go
Just left it sitting in the road
You can drape it all over your room
Sit back and let it shower you
Left it, hoping you'd see it, and wanted to stay
Wish someone told me there's a better way

The past will blow away
Don't mind if i have to borrow
Long as i come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all i could think of

Found this thing out back
Hope it makes it up for all i lack
They've all got a shot with you
Chance i had, i kinda blew
It's all there in that bag
Didn't turn out like i hoped
Guess it's a drag

The past will blow away
Don't mind if i have to borrow
Long as i come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all i could think of

If you won't take my hand
Keep the glove

I know your name
I know the people out there feel the same
I know you're gone
I hope you've got some friends to come along

I know you're out there
I know you're gone
You can't say that's fair
Can't you be wrong?

I feel ok
Sure, I know that's not what people say
Maybe they're wrong
Maybe you weren't on my side all along

I know you're out there
I know you're gone
You can't say that's fair
Can't you be wrong?

I know you're out there
You're still a case
It's still the place
Weren't you invited?
It's what you can't spare
Whatever's left, just hide the rest
And bring it right in

I know it's sick
I know you think again it's just a trick
Maybe I've changed
Just tell me was this all in vain?

I know you're out there
I know this face it's not erased
Weren't you invited?
It's what you can't spare
Whatever's left, just hide the rest
And bring it right in

Maintained inside
I've lost my range
Feeling strange
Weren't you invited?
Just never tried
It's still the place
You're still the case
Now bring it right in

there's no goin' back to that
i'm so numb, can't even react
didn't say it's not ok
but we aren't dealin' the same way

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye

it's the last thing on my mind
still you won't let things unwind
spinnin' tight around your head
can't you hear a word i've said

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye

when you call it's just not fair
it's the last thing you should share
i can't deal, i'll let you know
still i wish you'd let it go

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye

i'm tellin' you for one last time
it's not just you
the problem's mine to hide
i waited as long as i could
if you need it, sure i would
that's fine

well, there's no goin' back to that
i'm so numb can't even react
didn't say it's not ok
but we aren't dealin' the same way

i ain't tellin' you a secret
i ain't tellin' you goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye

i'm tellin' you for one last time
it's not just you
the problem's mine to hide

i waited as long as i could
if you need it, sure i would
that's fine

i'm takin' away a lot of stuff
i'm tellin' you it's rough
but not goodbye

I'd like to see you In the morning In the evening But you need a warning I'd like to see you It's a last ditch C'mon you gotta Ain't sayin' there's not a hitch Well, come on out now It's the only way Can't think I know how Is that all you're gonna let me say? I'd like to see you Don't you miss it? Lied again today And now I wish that You'd believe me when I need to You should be weary, I would if I were you Can I come along? I can't take the strain Now what else is wrong? Sure, I'll take the blame I'd like to see you In the morning In the evening But you need a warning I'd like to see you Don't you miss it? Lied again today Now I wish that...

You'd believe me when I need to You should be weary, I would if I were you Can I come along? I can't take the strain Now what else is wrong? Sure, I'll take the blame Come on out now It's the only way Can't think I know how. Is that all you're gonna let me say? You got things to do So, what else is new? Won't you give me some? Bring it back for me Won't you come and see? You're the only one So, what else is new? So, what else is new? You got things to do So, what else is new? Won't you give me some? Bring it back for me Won't you come and see? You're the only one You're the only one You're the only one

I'd like to come and see you
But what's it worth to know?
Promise you'll make it easy
You won't get me to go

I've been a wreck so long it's hard to pull it back,
but I'm on it,
and I want it,
and you flaunt it...
and it wakes me,
and it takes me,
and it rapes me

Gone away.
On the way

I want to let you go
I got a little red
Just can't pull it together
Before it goes to your head

Gone away.
On the way
On the way
On the way

[Solo]

I'd like to come and see you
But I think I'm on my way

Gone away
Gone away
On the way
On the way
On the way
Gone away

I've been a wreck so long,
it's hard to pull it out
Look to me,
I feel the fool again.

On this day where you're so messed it's clear
Can't explain the road you roam
Anyone who's been

As I walk with you,
It chills me so
To hear you say it's come to this, tell me this I care.

In a dream I always talk to you
You seem fine again, my sweet
Feels alright to me Is it right for you?

Flippin' out I try to call to you
Til' you come to me
Tell me what to do

And I know it's not the same, there's no blame
-Still I bother you-
And you say it's not true, dear, it's mine to fear
-Follow on through-

Come alive I know you'll sing with me
I won't sing to you
It's not a thing I do

Has it been a different feel for you?
Whole time this was goin' on
Or is it something new?

And I know it's not the same, there's no blame
-Still I bother you-
And you say it's not true, dear, it's mine to fear
-We won't coexist-
Any way you're not the same, it's the blame
-Follow on through-

It's a lingering that comes to me
Does it come to you?
Are we really through?

Any guy would do this thing for me
It's not much to ask
Why can't you?

I'm not gonna say I've had my way
You sure saw to that
What else can I do?

You promised so much, lied with every touch
I believed in you.
Follow along through.

I don't see you, I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Guess, it's on and on

On a day, maybe I'd show you
But it's the least of all I go through
But the thing is I don't know you
And it's on and on

Trembling words
Don't make my eyes close
And if anyone then you'd know
I can't find out 'cause it won't show
And it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray that maybe you're right
But if you don't, maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

When it takes too long
I lose it I'll just hang while you abuse it
If you knew then why'd you choose it
'Cause it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

Anytime I'm there to show you
But if it takes too long I know you
Out the door just leavin' me screwed
And it's on and on
Everytime I try to fight it It's so hard to seem excited
And if you don't turn I'll bite it
And it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

[Solo]

I don't see you, I won't call you I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Yes, it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray maybe that you're right
But if you don't maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

[Solo]

Do you know that it's alright?
I been thinkin', seein' that's not how it's gotta be
Ain't sayin' if it's worth the fight
I'm a space but you can count on me to save your place
And I know it's all to do with you and me
Do you know if you're against the deal?
We'll wait and see
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend

Did you know I heard your voice?
When I call to see if you're around, I have no choice
Then the news is in my face
Took a step to let the feeling go and lost my place

And I swear I hear the same thing every night
Once again no accounted for the hours I spent
Baked as any time I drifted out of sight
Remember when you didn't need this time to mend

Anywhere you'd like to go
Would it help to be inside the life I couldn't know?
If you shake it, it won't show
Hold out for me, 'cause bailin' at this point is really low.

And I know it's all to do with just a friend
And I can't decipher messages you send
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend [Solo]

You know it hurts me To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time What about someday? To know you're laughin' there is messin' with my mind Damage setting in Tell me where you been Try not to ask again Breakouts I can't defend Twisted messages I send I walk over and we smile and all get set Where we take up Is where I wake up It's a vice that's feelin' tight around my head I can't place it Still can't waste it It's kind of useless To tell you everything that needs to end today I'd be confused less If you'd just grab me your way, then be on your way I can't let it go Starting to really show Don't you think I've tried?

Don't you want it inside? What could be left to hide? [Solo] You know it hurts me To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time It sure seems lonesome But you're still hangin' there, it's messin' with my mind You can't expect much Not so out of touch If I ask again Nothing I'll defend But I can pretend I walked over and we smile and all the rest Where we take up Is where I wake up It's a two ton weight that's wrapped around my chest I just knew it Can't get through it And now it's finally just inches from my eye I can't place it Still can't waste it When you stomp on the last thing I've left to try Is where I wake up

In the place you said you'd meet me, I don't see you hanging around -i'm goin' home- if that's all you ever tell me, seems you don't wanna be found -and I'm goin' home- don't come over, I can't

What is it?
Who is it?
Where is it?

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

I stopped to call, tried to feel it all
Stuck my hand and pulled real hard
Got stretch in miles, not in yards
Then I read, about all those who believe all of your lies
Sunlight brings the rage right in your eyes

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

Come on babe
Come on set me free
I've paid for my crime
Come on babe
Come on rescue me
Just this last time

I plead the case
I need to space
Don't let it wait
I plead the case
I need to space
Don't let it wait

Come on babe
Come on set me free
I've paid for my crime
Come on babe
Come on rescue me
Just this last time

I'm waiting, please come by
I've got the guts now
To meet your eye
Those guts are killing
But I can't stop now
Got to connect with you girl
Before I forget how
Please wanna hang around
You'll gawk and wonder
What it is we found

I'm waiting, please come by
I've got the guts now
To meet your eye
Those guts are killing
But I can't stop now
Got to connect with you girl
Before I forget how
Please wanna hang around?
You gawk and wonder
What it is we found

No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone

The lights exploded
She stood burning in front of me
She ripped my heart out beating
My eyes wouldn't open, cemented to her face
Have I begun a feeble chase?

I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
It's only everything standing in front of me

I know what you did to me
I know what you did was wrong
You're allowed to torture me
Wait a moment until I'm gone
I know you're the ticket, you gotta be
'Cause I let you alone for long
Got to be so completely
Got to be so I can't hang on

(you're killing me)

I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
It's only everything standing in front of me

I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
Then that man is standing there
Now you'll have to decide the fate of my sanity

Hey, what's bubbling down under there?
Why's it screaming? What's unfair?
Please excuse it for getting high.
Let the shelter swell inside.
How should I know? Watch it squirm.
It's asking me "What's that I've learned?"

Stay inside, pull me out of space.
Tread me sprinkling grace.
Stay and pave my faith.

Thought I knew you, stuck out my hand.
You bit, wish I could understand.
It's a twisted feeling, staring bored.
Now it's time to burn the hope I stored.
Wait for me there, dash and run.
Still, your righteousness won't be outdone.

Stay inside, pull me out of space.
Tread me, sprinkling grace.
Stay and pave my faith.

Pave my faith, pave my faith,
Pave my faith, and pave my faith.

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what you're nice to me for
When I look up, don't think I don't know
About all the scabs you dread
It's hard to stomach the gore

I know you don't have the patience
To peel 'em off no more
In a jar where you fed me
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what you're nice to me for
Then you smile and decide to take me in
'Cause I look cute by your bed
But I can feel it's just a little more

I'll watch you fall apart, babe you know it
You know I'm your new start, babe, don't blow it
Just unscrew the top, yeah
Pick me up now just can't stop

In a jar where you fed me
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand
Scabs collect beneath your bureau
From the knife wounds you got

Can't believe a single word I've said
And every subject's the only one that's dead
And there's nothing from my side
Just yourself
You'll split
I'll begin
'Bout to fight

Greatest stories pass, in my mind
Must be a better way to pass my time
To think the focus just belongs to me
Selfish man, I know I'm nothing to me

So when I thought I had more to say
Swimmin' in my head
Chained to this corpse
For one more day

Little lies start around
Not a show, feel so down
And I struggle right inside out
Reach the wall, and spiral down
Retchedness
And I'm hardly standing still
I'll be there

Sometimes thinking right
I can't believe I was chosen to exist
'Cause only Jesus Christ himself can even exist, he says
So though we kill this need to always understand
Cut the world and tell me it fits on the back of your hand

Not an innocent
I've made my place
That settle turning smirk
That's always fixed upon my face
Walking weakness
Hope I die without a sound
I'm a little boy
With my feet nailed to the ground
I know I'm guilty
My stomach always hurts
Milking your attention
For the little it is worth
I'm turning browner every day
I'm really turning down a stay
Tired of your little man
I've been around too long
Tired of walking
Talking with me
Edging me along
Well, I detest your patience
I know you've always known
You know that I'm a thief
So afraid to be alone
Alone (That's that)
[Static]
Nothing's real
I don't care
It's a lie, I wound
I'm a stupid baby
Only breaks in two

[noise]
(Jesus)
(Jesus is Christ)
[noise]
I don't see I don't feel
Like every little moron
I think nothing's real
I don't care
It's a lie, I wound
Darling skip the faith
That only breaks in two
[noise]
Good doesn't live
And there's no evil here
Only this great power
We misunderstand
So please relax
Take a pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
(Jesus)
Relax, take the pain
Laugh out loud
When you forget your name
Good doesn't live
There's no evil here
Only this great power
We misunderstand
We'll tell you about everything
We'll tell you about everything
(Now)

'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my head
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'

Spinning on that dizzy air
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?'

Soft and only

Lost and lonely

Strange as angels
Sitting in the deepest oceans
Sitting in the water, you're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my head
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'

Spinning on that dizzy air
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?'

Soft and only

Lost and lonely

Strange as angels
Sitting in the deepest oceans
Sitting in the water, you're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

Freak Scene

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and free us?

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and leave us?

So fucked I can't believe it
If there's a way I wish we'd see it
How could it work just can't conceive it
Oh what a mess, best just to leave it

Sometimes I don't thrill you
Sometimes I think I'll kill you
Just don't let me fuck up will you
'Cause when I need a friend it's still you

What A Mess

Hey babe, thought maybe
Can't feel right today.
Wish it didn't faze me
Can't handle you their way.

Will I surround you, entombed and warm
Don't lie to her, no bones, no form.
The vast expanses, will leech you dry
you'll shiver all summer

Hey babe, can't do it.
Can't put you there again.
Can't deal, can't go through it
If there only was a when

Will I surround you, entombed and warm.
Don't lie to her, no bones, no form.
The vast expanses, the need to grind
they'll summon

I've been dryin' for it
Buggin' again
Now it won't bend
You've been frying for it
A mound of smack
Won't fill the crack
They always come in two's
All the space they always use
All the slips I've taped behind me
Not sure now what's left beside me
So I'm tapin' nappin'
All the things I left unspoken
The one that slipped still got me chokin'
Hope it don't mean I'll stop nappin'
[Repeat once, after second time there is a solo]
Can't face them man
The ones you left
Can't trace me
The sky broke down
That rainy sound
Gotta save me

Drivin hard through your friend
Gotta find a way to mend
The less we see, the more it grows
Festering out of control

Piled High
You get that face,
I wonder why we ever got it together
What's to say
Just no clue, we just know what to do
Hope it comes together

It's the norm, float again
It's the stuff you said you send
Take it in, wait to see
If its enough, just 'cause it's free

Push too far
Feel the skin begin to scar
Can't really put it together
Now it's a drag
With no hope of coming back
How can you ever get it together?

[Solo]

Bottled up, stored away
Always ready to give way
Push it farther, yeah we know
Clinging, hoping it won't glow

Piled High
You get that face,
I wonder why we ever got it together
Push too far
Feel the skin begin to scar
Can't really pull it together

About to crack
With no hope of coming back
How'd we ever get it together
What's to say
Just no clue, we just know what we do
Hope it comes together

I'll be by your side Thought you knew, thought I'd try What's there to decide? Put everything into it Time to throw it on the heep All the times I almost spilled it Now it's something gotta keep Found a way, heared all the things I've tried to say Hate to see it washed away, dragged down among the drain But if it stays, all the things about to pay All doubts I've stashed away, kept down until you say Letting it all slide Stood too long, far too gone Can't you let it ride? Put everything into it Time to throw it on the heep All the times I all most spilled it Now it's something gotta keep Found a way, heared all the things I've tried to say Hate to see it washed away dragged down among the drain If I don't move, there won't be a thing to prove And all I'm bound to lose my thing for hangin' out But if it stays, all the things about to pay All the doubts I've stashed away kept down until you say I'll be by your side Stood too long, far too gone Can't you let it ride? What's there to decide? Thought you knew, tho
ught I'd try Letting it all slide

Pond mistress, yet you're undecided
I sprinkle looks to let you know
Hey there's a wave, Come on let's ride it
Jump on that oar, we'll have to row

Now, while your eyes run back
Your memories attack
I'll give it my last crack
The dreams keep me awake
Feelings seem hard to shake
Same way I always flake

Dripping off, you come to meet me
Break off a piece, to let you know
Let it bubble all around you
Yeah there's a love
But it won't show

And while your eyes run back
Your memories attack
I'll give it one last crack
The dreams keep me awake
Feelings seem hard to shake
Same way I always flake

Need a way to keep it simple
All the times I bailed, you float
go to reach and then you wrinkle
I turned it down
Right down your throat

Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two
Yeah I gave you a nudge
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Yeah I need a bug
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Hey babe, where'd you go
Just left it sitting in the road
You can drape it all over your room
Sit back and let it shower you
Left it, hoping you'd see it, and wanted to stay
Wish someone told me there's a better way

The past will blow away
Don't mind if i have to borrow
Long as i come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all i could think of

Found this thing out back
Hope it makes it up for all i lack
They've all got a shot with you
Chance i had, i kinda blew
It's all there in that bag
Didn't turn out like i hoped
Guess it's a drag

The past will blow away
Don't mind if i have to borrow
Long as i come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all i could think of

If you won't take my hand
Keep the glove

Come on it's over now, run for you
I give the last of me
To catch a glimpse it's true
Are you water?
Is when you call me
I can't decide if you
Grasp the concept
Cuz I lost it
Still, I hope it's true for you
I don't talk when you're around it
I don't blame enough to ask the questions
I don't know different if you doubt it
There's not much to think or say ???????
Too late, wish I could wait
Still nothing's understood
Inside, so much to hide
When will you let it through?

Are you water?
Is when you call me
I can't decide if you
Grasp the concept
Cuz I lost it
I hope it's true for you

I don't mind if you think about it
I don't talk to too much ????????????????
Know enough just not to doubt it
Are you waiting?
Just the same-old?
Everything I know

I don't wanna think about it
Know enough just not to doubt the thing and let it come to you
F--- (WHAT?)

So, I figured something out
Should I tell you what about?
Let's just say I've done my time
Any show
Be a a tantrum that gets paid
Another tale slips your mind
So why
Are You
Me
Now

I've been reaching every day
And now sudennly I see it
Not just me swinging away
Takes a lot just to relieve me
So why
Are You
Me
Now

It's not convienent any time
Just rip it from my mind
Cause you can give me something fine
You can follow up it's gone
(You) Can't get upset about this song
You can't give me something fine
Give Me
Give Me all
Live it all
Can't stand it anymore

[ack. it's a 'get me' solo ;)]

I've been reaching every day
And now suddenly I see it
It's not just me that throws it away
Never really bought my deal
Every wonder is a reel
Yours aint the only way to feel
So Why
You
Me
Now

If I ran away today
Will you pull me back tomorrow?
Took some time to arrange
With trust, space will follow
Out to find the things you need
Your connections hard to swallow
Still things you tell me when
Your eyes track me down, keepin' you hollow

Throat starts to drain
I've done it way too many times to go away
Gone in a state, by my water
Can you bring it back to me
Will you follow?

And how'd you get away
If I ran away today
Will you pull me back tomorrow?
Took some time to arrange
Your connections hard to swallow
I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
It's your needs on my brain
Smack me out, Our eyes exchange
To have the strength to stake my claim

Have you placed it?
I can't taste it
Will I waste it?
Can't trace it
Time to face it

Now gonna go away

I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
It's your needs on my brain
Smack me out, Move on with change
To have the strength to stake my claim
I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
To have the strength to stake my claim
I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
To have the strength to stake my claim

Time has left off for me
And I came back for your offer
Can't you know what I need
You mean everythign to me
But you left to seek it
??????????????
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Tell me if you laugh at me
As the world leaves it to me
??????????????? you see
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Tell me I'm your man
I don't wanna live without it but I can
Your ???????????? even stand
You can mount it to my chin????? if I can
I sure love the way the feelings ?????

[solo]

Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Tell me I'm your man
I don't wanna live without it but I can
Your love me but I can barely even stand
You can mount it to my chin????? if I can
I sure love the way the feelings get???

[solo throughout song]

How can you tell me?
I still believe in sometime
You don't have to make it a show or a begining
Just have to move yourself today

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Wish you were there to tell me
I still need your sunshine
I'll go over and I'm bare foot
Can't believe I'm in the ?????

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Now won't you tell me?
I still believe in some [?]
I try it oh so many ways to get to you
And it could never [?] [?] [?]

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Why wont you tell me?
Now in the time, by my side
Re-tell the story
Guess I cant take it this time

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Every night, it's another girl
I obsess about my finest dream
But I need to feel today, why am I driving you away?
Sure not over you
So you sit, that's a way to be
You don't have to bottom all along
But there's things you need to be
It all cant come from me
Every night we're drifitng farther
All the love and life is gotta count for something
Gotta all pull it togther
Don't wanna blow it together
Sit up and feel strange
Solitify a change
Sure not over you
Piece together, how we've come along
Float [flowed?] so easily before
So it's me that's flakin out
Wish I knew what that's about
Sure not over you
Sure not over you
Every night we're drifitng farther
Vibes so bad I wanna puke
All the love in life has gotta count for somethimg right
Gotta all pull it together
Don't wanna blow it now
Sit up and feel strange
Solitify the strange
And it's me that's flaking out
Wish I knew what that's about
There's so much I need to be
And it's gotta come from [comfort?] me
Sure not over you
Sure not over you

I know why you came here
I know it's the same fear

It seems loaded
It seems true, true [through me?]
Got no hand what can I do
I've been strumming [struggling?]
You've been blew [blue?] through
I don't get what you need to do
I know why you came here
Please don't be ashamed of you [here?]
And should I lay a claim here
I know it's the same fear

[solo over vocals]

I put me out here
I move through too
Will I get the same from you?
I know why you came here
Please don't be ashamed here
I know it's the same sheer [fear?]
Should I lay a claim here?

When you find a girl
You found a friend
If you wait too long
The story ends

If I look to you, you wave to me
I can't take it, honestly
But I found you, and there you are

If the tides have turned
And wash ashore
But you gave me pain [this?]
I still adore

Now I ran them all, around for you
Can't believe that's all you do
And it kills me, and there you are

I can't take myself
I'm trying to help somebody else
Come along [on?]
Let's just get it straight
This is gonna have to wait
Too long

Make me strong
Hand it along
I don't have too long

If I found the truth
You would lie
Cause the place I move
Is on the side

And I wish for all these things for you
Keep it special, make it true
Cause I found you, and there you are

I can't take myself
I'm trying to help somebody else
Come along [on?]
I can't get it straight
This is gonna have to wait
Too long

Spread upon the seas
?????????????????????
I'm stuck

I can't take myself
I still need a lot of help
And love....

[solo]

Every see to came
I use such restraint
What's left around me
Is there to me
Cant walk with you
This is overdue
And it spills from inside
Into and all over you
Come on out
Feel the pictures
As they warn you
Bottom out, it's good for you
It can be real
Nothing like a picture of you
Can not follow you along


So you have a ways to grow
Can not follow you alone
Dreams are not themselves
Dreamnt withotu living it
It's hard to tell
When the day begins
It's the evil twin
Let it out
? ? ?
All the doubt has been good to me
You can't be this
Nothing like I picture it
Giving me a chill
Nothing like I picture this

I know you're waiting
I'm through relating
I've had enough
I'm sick of reading
My interest fading
It's looking up
I know I've been that way too long
Between our own useless
Tide it over
It's getting slower
Time for a change
Falls the prison
Don't wanna live in
Expand my range
I know I've been that way too long
I know it's useless
The charm is gone
Time to move on
I'm ready now
The questions, how?
I'll keep on pushin'
Throw out the cushion
I need to do this
Beyond the darkness
There must be one kiss
So give me hope
I know I've been that way too long
Get the move on

I (looked) all around
Open my eyes I found
You crying, crying on the ground
If I told you then
Now, were you listening?
Now just tell me where, can't pretend

Slippin' through my mind
Letting go this time
Will I find you?
It's a special place
It's been hard to taste
If you let me, it won't go to waste
If I let you go, will I ever know
Cause I gotta know, gotta know

You've been through my mind
Letting go this time
Need to find

When I held you close
Felt my mind explode
At that point, that point my whole life froze
Can't go back from here
Feelings far from fear
It's over, take my hand, we'll disappear

I looked all around
Open my eyes I found
You crying, crying on the ground
If I told you then
Were you listening?
Now just tell me where, I can't pretend
It's a special place
It's been hard to taste
If you met me, It won't go to waste
If I let you go, will I ever know?
Cause I gotta know, gotta know
We've been through my mind
Not letting go this time
Still not fine

I feel the pain of everyone then i feel nothing i feel the pain of everyone then i feel nothing i feel the pain of everyone then i feel nothing i feel the pain of everyone then i feel nothing is
P to me ? you won't wait to see screwed us both again about as close as you dare i feel the pain of everyone then i feel nothing i feel the pain of everyone then i feel nothing is it up to me ?
On't wait to see screwed us yet again about as close as you dare hey now, take it back get off me, you're sad trailin' on your scene just try and keep it clean

Yeah, so I told you some stories
Yeah, I slipped you some lines
Maybe I burned all my bridges
Yeah, so I'm out of my mind

Yeah, it's not very tasteful
Yeah, it's not very wise
Well, it's the best I came up with
So it's not much of a surprise

Yeah, well I thought about it
Maybe you didn't catch my eye
So I can't live without it
So that's a big surprise
...yeah, right

Yeah, today was a good one
Yeah, today you came through
Just when I'd run out of suspects
You knew just what to do

Yeah, well I thought about it
Maybe you didn't catch my eye
So I can't live without it
So that's a big surprise
...yeah, right

Hey, girl, come on walk a while with me now
I'm countin' on you to make it
Let's slip out and find the way somehow
I know you can fake it

I know you're still far away
Well, I know you can fake it
And I know it's outta hand, okay
But I know you can take it

There's a part you're always leavin' out
This feelin' I can't shake it
It's not that I don't know what you're about
I know you can fake it

I know it's all far away
Come on, you can make it
And I know it's outta hand, okay
But I know you can take it
And I know it won't be long
And I know it won't be long
When you'll come out and I'll be gone

Hey girl, won't you show me now?
Don't know if I can take it
Can't you just believe yourself somehow
I know you can fake it

I know you're still far away
I know you can't take it
And I know it's outta hand, okay
Is no way you can fake it
And I know it won't be long
And I know it won't be long
And if you felt this all along
And if it's time to say you're wrong

Come on out and I'll be gone
Come on out and I'll be gone

Help me off your back
I found it's so futile to attack
So what else you got
You won't tell the truth until you're caught

I'll be in your room
You'll be comin' soon
I'll be gone all day
Grab it, that's your way

I wish I could pretend
But you'll fire one off at me again
Revenge me
Now don't it seem like you're a little sweet

In your room
Who was willing
Got to assume
Felt too hard
Pain is chilling
Caught off guard
And now should I fall apart

I'll be in your room
You'll be comin' soon
Take it out of me
Grab it, that's your scene

I'm not feeling well
It's not goin' so good, oh can't you tell
It's a crazy time
Fire one off at me and I'll be fine

In your room
Who was willing
Got to assume
Felt too hard
Pain is chilling
Caught off guard
Soon should I fall apart

It's so crazed
You were swingin'
Still amazed
What's in your laugh?
You're still clingin'
You're so unphased
I'd no idea you'd go this far

[Solo]

If I look back, would you hear
If that's what you decide to believe

A time was when it seemed appropriate to walk away
And now you got to try to stay
They all asked me, then you asked me I was kind of stunned
Now it's me who wants to run

I've no right falling all around you
Suffocating bugs surround you
It's a shame that's what it's done to you

It came so easily, I let it follow me right down
Crept in close without a sound
They all told me, then you told me but I stayed around
Then it hit, I hit the ground

No discussion could improve this
Next time gonna have to lose this
No way in I'm not gonna hate it
I'll try not to overstate it

When I finally plan my trip
I know you're gonna be there
When it's time I finally flip
I know you're gonna be there

It seemed immediate
You stuck me and you walked away
It upsets me either way
I do anything if anything won't come too late
Not the best way to set things straight

No discussion could improve this
Gonna be a pain to lose this
Even you could not excuse this

It's been runnin' for a long time
And it's runnin' out in my mind
I can't explain it all to you
It's really jumbled up
So for longer now I'm messed up
And I'm wishin' now I'd 'fessed up
That concern's no use to you
It feeds the pain that stung

So forget how I am dealin'
Explain to me the feelin'
It gets to that point instantly
You're ready to unload
And I'm the one you're spitting at
I'm ready for my fitting at
Doesn't make much sense
But when I get it calm it's slow

It's hard to admit anything
I'm sorry for the weight I bring
I'll do whatever's necessary
To make your mind glow soft
It's played out too far to stew
And I've run out of grace with you
So I'm out and take a walk
And we'll be better off

Whether I lied
As much as you tried
Whatever you decide
I hope it's good to you
For everybody's sake
Lord knows we all need a break
Do what you got to
This is hard to take

To the time I spent discussin'
I'll sit back and stop the fussin'
I won't mention it to anyone
And we'll be better off
I won't admit to anything
Sorry for the weight I bring
Do whatever's necessary
To make your mind glow soft

Whether I lied
As much as you tried
Whatever you decide
I hope it's good to you
For everybody's sake
Lord knows we all need a break
Do what you got to
This is hard to take

Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I saw you
It's the hardest thing for me I started shakin'
Wonderin' where could you be from

And it figures
That the only thing I want is already taken
Cut him off let's get it done

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know you are the one I miss
I try to figure How I get out of this

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know about the way you tried to tell me
It was sticky
And settled in their tea

So I freaked out
Blank stared into my heart
Just like you killed me
Thinkin' they're still picking the key

Don't know how to break it to me
Don't know how to take it to me

Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know you are the one I miss
I try to figure How I get out of this

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

I know I've been what's in your mind
You could use it, babe
If ever I could let you go
Is that hard to take

It's not often
You soften up enough to smile
I'm damaged, I'm sandwiched
In here for a while

Tomorrow it's the last event
That you'll be a man
Forget what you thought she meant
Thank her, wish her well

I'm damaged, I'm sandwiched
In the tree of light
It's no wonder I'm under
And no strength to fight

If ever there had been a time
Would you let me know?
Is there enough of you around
Could you let some go?

All the love won't deny you
You're above all you cry to

Gave it all I could think of
Wish you'd get what you're on the brink of

All the love won't deny you
You're above all you cry to

Gave it all I could think of
Wish you'd get what you're on the brink of

All the love
