In a world that takes back all that it gives But I do not want a war I don't know what's going on In the scenes behind I worry about it some of the time And I hope there's not a war 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand And I would walk across highways To find my fate If that might settle your crude debate But I do not want a war 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand Feeding the promised land With your blood by my own hand At allah's own command At allah's own command I came up from the desert and here I will die Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye Though I didn't want a war I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand Oh yeah |

Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me 'Cause when all the waters gone The feeling lingers on Old true love ain't too hard to see Don't cry no tears around me Well I wonder who's with her tonight And I wonder who's holding her tight But there's nothing I can say To make him go away Old true love ain't too hard to see Don't cry no tears around me There's nothing I can say To make him go away Old true love ain't too hard to see Don't cry no tears around me Don't cry no tears around me |

I fell so far, I didn't think I'd make it back We are all made, as an afterthought, Destined to believe that we are what we are not I'm afraid, but I don't need to tell you that There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it The cartoon trees cannot conceal it When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like There's a lost man, with a bitter soul, Only for a moment, Did life make him whole And while he was, he thought he was invincible There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it The cartoon trees cannot conceal it When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white They're not your words, but you're reciting the lines You don't mean a thing, but you exist in their minds How does it feel, when they have turned out the lights? 'Cause you know they sooner would get rid of you, than fight. And the dark night, has the strongest pull We both know that staying young, can take its toll Are you afraid of finding out you're over that There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it The cartoon trees cannot conceal it When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like |

So much clearer than you hear Into you goes everything I know No one else knows how I feel Farther down I'm desperate for you Where you never have to know Farther down I'm still without a clue Till something Something takes my pain away Only chance can change my fortune So I'm not sure why I try As if I could swim the ocean As if you could start to fly Farther down I'm desperate for you Where you never have to know Farther down I'm still without a clue Till something Something takes my pain away Something takes my pain away Something takes my pain away Farther down I'm desperate for you Where you never have to know Farther down I'm still without a clue Till something Something takes my pain away Something takes my pain away Something takes my pain away Something takes my pain away |

I met her down by the water
She took me into her full like a mother I sent her some flowers for the weekend And she sent me away on a mission I went into another land Starin' into one another's *green pools We're a couple o' blue fools Starin' into one another's green pools We're a couple o' blue fools Thank God that they don't ask us why We can't get high Blue fools Never had any sisters or brothers Spent all my time lookin' for another Keeping all of my thoughts in a locket Before I knew it she picked my pocket I turned into another man Starin' into one another's green pools We're a couple o' blue fools Starin' into one another's green pools We're a couple o' blue fools Thank God that they don't ask us why We can't get high Blue fools Starin' into one another's green pools We're a couple o' blue fools Starin' into one another's green pools We're a couple o' blue fools Thank God that they don't ask us why We can't get high Blue fools... |

Now you're never gonna get back to the boy you had
You have broken the chains forever Now you're never gonna get back to the girl you were (you are looking for a boy...) I have found you (standing free, now that he...) No longer surrounds you (wishing your memories) Away Come catch your breath Nobody's going to rush you Catch your breath This time you don't have to hide All those hopes you're frightened of and have no strength to fight Alone It was written in the stars you'd be resting here Slipping straight from the arms of heaven No I never would have guessed in a million years (you were looking for a sign...) Now I hold you (shivering in my arms...) Forget what he told you (wishing your memories) Away Come catch your breath Nobody's going to rush you Catch your breath This time you don't have to hide All those hopes you're frightened of and have no strength to fight Alone (you were looking for a boy...) I have found you (standing free, now that he...) No longer surrounds you (wishing your memories) Away Come catch your breath Nobody's going to rush you Catch your breath This time you don't have to hide (catch) catch your breath Nobody's going to rush you Catch your breath This time you don't have to hide Catch your breath... |

Shut your eyes
And you'll remember like the first time what it meant to see Take your time Any reason why you can't go on is fine with me As long as we don't sit in silence I don't want to see the whole thing wasted As long as we have time to be...half asleep Half asleep It takes a while I'd give everything I've got to know how many days I don't accuse you 'cause any problem that there is I put in my own way But I don't want to sit in silence I don't want to see the whole thing wasted As long as we have time to be...half asleep Half asleep We always have to say we're sorry But every time we say we're sorry It's closer to the real thing We stay here some 'cause we aren't going to get much closer to a real answer; The sleeping cured you; Ya know tomorrow we can waste the day and start another. As long as we don't sit in silence I don't want to see the whole thing wasted As long as we have time to be...half asleep Half asleep I don't wanna sit in silence I don't wannt see the whole thing wasted As long as we have time to be...half asleep Half asleep |

Ever since I first ran ahead
I've been living in the past Only wanting what might last And up until today disappeared Though I saw it wasn't clear I could not admit the love I trusted in (love I trusted) Couldn't hold the love I trusted in (love I trusted) Let her fly And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow I will still be waiting around For the girl who tied me down For the face that lost me found Wishing to the shot in the dark By the touch and words I like In her precious smile The love I trusted in (love I trusted) Couldn't hold the love I trusted in (love I trusted) Let it fly And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow I will still be waiting around For the face that lost me found For the voice that brought me *down/bound Ever since I first ran ahead I've been living in the past Only wanting what might last And up until today disappeared Though I saw it wasn't clear I could not admit the love I trusted in (love I trusted) Couldn't hold the love I trusted in (love I trusted) Let her fly And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow I will still be waiting The love I trusted in (love I trusted) Couldn't hold the love I trusted in (love I trusted) Let her fly And even if I'm walking.... |

I was thinking I could wait until the work is done
But you'll only want to get back out and have some fun Sun's lighting up the sky And if it wasn't so bright I'd come undone Why can't you save time for me There isn't much but it's all that I want from you Why can't you save time for me Without these moments there isn't much we can do As victims of circumstance Avoiding our every chance We can't solve problems Save time for me I remember when you leaned on my experience And I showed you what you had to do to make some sense But time moves fast And it doesn't last For everyone Why can't you save time for me There isn't much, but it's all that I want from you Why can't you save time for me Without these moments there isn't much we can do As victims of circumstance Avoiding our every chance We can't solve problems Save time for me As victims of circumstance Avoiding our every chance We can't solve problems Why can't you save time for me There isn't much but it's all that I want from you Why can't you save time for me Without these moments there isn't much we can do Why can't you save time for me (repeat) {fade} |

Safe in the night
When people look but can not see Pale in the light That shines above onto the street I watch you walkin' on the other side And I turn my head away in shame Wishin' they'd talk in the worthless-- Quaint and reserved The house that knows you in detail Slender and curved You come down stairs to get your mail I watch you walkin' on the other side And I feel my thinking rearrange As slowly every thought will change Summer has gone October fled without a word Winter is on My conscience has remained uncured I watch you walkin' on the other side And I rush my fingers through my hair Telling myself that it is not fair I watch you walkin' on the other side And I rush my fingers through my hair Telling myself that it is not fair |

I can understand you're living in a prison
I know you can only see me as a vision I might fade away with the coming of a new dawn And your heart is breaking. What are you gonna do now That you're tired of faking it? Well, it's hard to take it When you know what happens each time The devil with the green eyes Said you were never meant to be mine 'Cause I came up from a dark world And every love I've ever know is dead If you come close enough to see I am inhuman I will tell you why you're feeling so uncertain Every word I say has a way of turning evil in you And your heart is breaking. What are you gonna do now That you're tired of faking it? Well, it's hard to take it When you know what happens each time The devil with the green eyes Said you were never meant to be mine 'Cause I came up from a dark world And every love I've ever know is dead And your heart is breaking What are you gonna do now That you're tired of faking it?

deconstruct me and consume me. I'm all used up, I'm out of luck I am star struck By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive. But I'm sick of myself when I look at you something is beautiful and true. World that's ugly and a lie it's hard to even want to try. I'm beginning to think maybe you don't know. I'll take a leave, the room to breathe The choice to leave it I'll throw away a chance at greatness just to make this dream come into play I don't know if I'll find a way 'Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you something is beautiful and true.

Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead Or is it in my head? Where'd I go wrong? I'm Staring at the white above One day I closed my eyes and here I am A cold, unhappy man I've come to realize the life I have I hate The pulse I need is slowly fading Until I've lost it all I've been waiting for an inspiration For a chance I never got to take Before it's much too late Where's the boy that used to run? Could it be he's up and gone away? He seems so far away And all the things I could have done Could it be they've up and gone away? They seem so far away 'Cause It feels as if the boy in me Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter Imposter of myself I must find the one that used to be Approach him slow, don't be afraid to say "Can he come out and play?" Where's the boy that used to run? Could it be he's up and gone away? 'Cause He seems so far away And all the things I could have done Could it be they've up and gone away? 'Cause They seem so far away Now I'm Staring at the sky above I've found a chance I'm finally going to take 'Cause I've learned from my mistakes Where'd I go wrong? Where's the boy that used to run? Could it be he's up and gone away? 'Cause He seems so far away And all the things I could have done Could it be they've up and gone away? 'Cause They seem so far away Where'd I go wrong? |

The truth comes out at last Once your heart Would own me forever Then this passed And what a beautiful moment As my head comes apart Drunk and In a manner of saying, wasted 'Cause you don't love me You don't love me You can't see how I matter in this world Even though I loved you You can't believe that If you find something You think might make you happy Then I guess it's okay I think it's okay If you go away Blown right out of my senses I did not know what to do Lost and badly wanting someone To see me through That's why I needed you But you don't love me You don't love me You can't see how I matter in this world Even though I loved you |

from Matthew Sweet - In Reverse (2001)
I'm looking all around me
And there's so much room to move But I don't believe in miracles Should I put my faith in you I lay down in the evening And I look up at the stars But I don't believe in miracles Should I put my faith in ours I wake up in the morning And I look up at the blue For something deep inside of me Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you What do I have to believe in Now that everything else was a lie Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you What do I have to believe in Now that everything else was a lie Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you I lay down in the evening And I look up at the stars But I don't believe in miracles Should I put my faith in ours I wake up in the morning And I look up at the blue For something deep inside of me Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you Should I put my faith in you |
