You say I only hear what I want to And you say I talk so all the time- so And I thought what I felt was simple And I thought that I don't belong And now that I am leaving Now I know that I did something wrong 'Cause I missed you Yeah, I missed you
And you say I only hear what I want to I don't listen hard I don't pay attention to the distance That you're running or to Anyone, anywhere I don't understand if you really care I'm only hearing negative, no no no- bad
So I turned the radio on, turned the radio up And this woman was singing my song The lover's in love and the other's run away The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay And some of us hover when we weep For the other who was dying Since the day they were born Well, this is not that I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown
And I thought I'd live forever But now I'm not so sure You try to tell me that I'm clever But that won't take me anyhow Or anywhere with you
And you said that I was naive But I thought that I was strong I thought, "Hey, I can leave, I can leave" But now I know that I was wrong Cause I missed you Yeah, I missed you
You said, "You caught me cause you want me And one day I'll let you go" You try to give away a keeper Or keep me cause you know You're just so scared to lose
Sorry sir I stole your money Sorry sir I feel but it's so so twisted So unreal It was what I'd heard of And what I didn't have But I cannot give what I do not have And I cannot take what I do not have I can't take it Don't stultify Don't hold me high Don't stultify Don't hold me high
Too many things held precious Too many things held dear That's what I hate That's what I fear Too much to ask for May leave me feeling lonely But too little leaves me nothing nothing The drone in your voice and the fly on the wall said It's over it's over it's over it is What do I wish for you what do I wish It's over it's over it is Are we still solemn and bleeding Are we still swimming to water that was wet You can't give away certain things that you get
From the outside To the inside I couldn't tell you how it really was There has to be more on one hand Keep your head above water on the other the other The drone in your voice and the fly on the wall said It's over it's over it's over it is What do I wish for you what do I wish It's over it's over it is Are we still solemn and bleeding Are we still swimming to water that was already wet I can forgive but I won't forget
I'll wish for you I'll plead and I'll steal Hold me precious hold me dear I'll wish for you I'll sing and I'll feel Don't stultify don't hold me high
Like a Gothic staple a last good bye One way to float is if you die And it's over it's over it's over It's over it's over it's over It's over it's over
It’s a bad day. It’s a train ride. It’s a bad day. You’re my medicine It’s a snow day. It’s a full moon. It’s a snow day. When’d you get down to my bones? Where’ll I find that wishing stone? The beads, the records, All the calls, and the drinks alone. First by mind, then by music you’ll make this all less confusing. It’s a slow dive down, A fast distraction, A strange fall forward My lame reaction. It’s a bad day. It’s a long ride. It s a bad day. You’re my medicine It’s a sinking feeling, Pulls me through the seat of chairs. When will you come rescue me, Find solace, and then take me there? You’ll say, ’you re not too tired for this life, And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice. You’re not too tired for this life, and It’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice. ’ When’ d you get down to my bones? Where’ ll I find that wishing stone?

do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore? do you sleep anymore? do you take plight on my tongue like lead? do you fall gracefully into bed anymore? i saw you as you walked across my room. you looked out the window, you looked at the moon. and you sat on the corner of my bed, and you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will see you again. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will be there. do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? do you sleep, do you keep me anymore? you kick my foot under the table, i kick you back; i can't say i'm able to stand for you or fall for you ever again. wish for a perfect setting? wishing that i am letting you take me where you want me all over again? you can't give yourself absolutely to someone else. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will see you again. i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will be there. i saw you as you walked across my room. you looked out the window, you looked at the moon. and you sat on the corner of my bed, and you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head. do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore? do you sleep anymore? i don't know, and i don't care if i ever will be there.
Skeleton boy by the side of the road. He warned me, he told me; He said, ’there’s this woman, she’s a hurricane, She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying.’ She said, ’don’t look for holidays. Don’t look, just run away. Go suffocate, and choke your own cry. Go where the water, Where the water, seeps from the pink sky. But behead this woman, she’s a hurricane, She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying. Remember your reflection in a pool, in a puddle.’ And the leaves sped top-speed towards me, And my image was muddled. I’m a lightheaded wonder, Don’t you see my mind slow down? I’m a lightheaded wonder Don’t you see my mind slow down? Slow down. I’ve compassion for strangers, An affinity for danger Won’t you be my sacrifice? I’m a lightheaded wonder Don’t you see my mind slow down for you? And for you? ’ No you’re a headless woman, you’re a hurricane. You will heal my heart up? No, I will heal my own heart up, because you are hurting. Cause I’m a sunburn slap upon your arm, I’ll twist you til you break, And you’re a hurricane.
Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide. Shabby tried to comb her hair with the gift from her grandma, her blood. Tangled she got halfway. Sticky and powdered with dirt from the ground where her mamma had left her, Had left her, had left her. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide, With your eyes open wide. Rusty the screen door, she opened it. Raised from the ground. Mamma left me her ring, mamma left me no family, Just barstools, and boyfriends, and whiskey at nighttime, and bedtime, Bedtime, bedtime, bedtime. I'll go with the man who looks like my father, The neighbors all tell me to go with him. He better take caution, he better take care of me, 'Cause if he don't he, better beware of me. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed. Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide, With your eyes open wide, With your eyes open wide, Wide, wide, wide, Eyes open wide.
She can’t tell me that all of the love songs have been written, ’cause she’s never been in love with you before. Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood. Your hair falls soft like animals. I’m tryin’ to keep cool, but everyone likes you. I want to kiss the back of your neck, The top of your spine where your hair hits, And gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep, I’ll talk you to sleep. But I’ll be the one, I will have chosen. I’m tryin’ to keep cool, but everyone here likes you I’m not the only one. Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood. Your hair falls soft like animals, And nothing else matters to me. She can’t tell me that all of the love songs have been written, ’cause she’s never been in love with you before, In love with you before. Your hand, So hot, Burns a hole in My hand. I wanted to show you.
I want to be by myself, sometimes I do. I don’t want to be left behind, but sometimes I’m left by you. I press my tongue to the top of my mouth, Cause my jaw, was tired from the thinking. And I stretched my toes to the end of the couch, ’cause my back, it was aching from sleeping. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, And why do I feel so alone? And when will it snow, it’s been raining for hours, And why do I feel so alone? And when I’m left at home, when you’re with someone else I’m all alone. You do not cheat me of my childhood. You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts. There is no anger with the eyebrow raised. When you do the fantastic I am amazed. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, And why do I feel so alone? When will it snow, it’s been raining for hours, And why do I feel so alone? You were leaving some bar, and you’re coming downtown, You’re not ripping out stitches, but you want me around. Just to call you my love, just to call you my love. You are the treasure custodian cleaning the moon for me. Scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright. You stand straight-faced, and tip-toed on top of a ladder, And i, I wait, and i, I wait, and i, I wait. And when I’m left at home, I’m all alone But I’d rather be alone with you. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, And why do I feel so alone? When will it snow, it’s been raining for hours, And why do I feel so alone? Oh, why do I feel so alone?
