Ninedays

If you leave, where will you go?
Before the regret you hold in your heart will start to show
If you leave, how will you know?
If our ever after ever had a chance to grow
Do you dream or do you sleep?
Do you pick and choose amongst the jewels for one to keep?
Do you wish upon a star?
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away?

*Nothing seems to change
Let alone you won't forget my name
Just don't lose what you know
Just don't lose what you know
When you're so far away

So deep you say
And no matter where you go it all ends up the same
Do you wish upon a star?
Or does everything just out of reach seem just too far away?

*Repeat

What you lose is what you know
Where you go is where you grow
How near we've come has yet to show
We've come so close yet so far away
So far away

What did I do to you - so far away
What did I do to you - so far away (x2)

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many days in a year?
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear?
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose?

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many lovers would stay?
Just to put up with this shit day after day
How did we wind up this way?
Watchin' our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waitin'
Wearin' the clothes of the souls that we choose
How do we get there today?
When we're walkin' too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

And your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Whose pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

When she smiles

So you're standing on a ledge
It looks like you might fall
So far down
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping
Now you could have it all
If you learned a little patience
For though I cannot fly
I'm not content to crawl
So give me a little credit
Have in me a little faith
I want to be with you forever
If tomorrow's not too late

*But it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say
But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises today

**If I am
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
I will let you down
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down

So you're walking on the edge
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
And you could find the fault
In the heart that you've been handed
For though you cannot fly
You're not content to crawl

*Repeat

**Repeat

So you're standing on a ledge
It looks like you might fall

**Repeat

The answers we find
Are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don't talk of dreams
I won't mention tomorrow
And we don't make those promises that we can't keep

I will never leave you
I will not let you down
I will never leave you
I will not let you down

What I see is what's to be
Cartwheels to eternity
'Round and 'round my head she goes
In the good dreams though she wears no clothes
Took our pictures by the sea
The ocean waits to carry me
Carry me back home again
To where she sleeps I lay my head

Saw her running barefoot
But the ground there never touched her feet
Watched her in the shadows
While the tide came in and claimed our beach
We could have made it in the dunes
We had it all within our reach
But I've got a lot of life to learn
And you've got a lot of life to teach

Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
We gather no moss just like a rolling..

What I say is what I mean
No definition in between
Couldn't make it in the movie scene
You couldn't stay on you couldn't stay clean
What you wear is who you are
The odds are in and you'll go far
A penny for your thoughts you'll see
A nickel buys you what you need

Saw you on the big show
Saw you swinging from the big trapeze
Standing on my tip toes
while you brushed the dirt from off your knees
Should have come as no surprise
No one else here did have your drive
You got a big white stretch parked right outside
But nobody there to share your ride

*Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to fine our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we all end up dead drunk or stoned?

What I know is what I hear
The ringing in my ears is clear
A monkey's got it made you see
Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree

*Repeat
Dead drunk or stoned
Just like a rolling stone

Shadows they fall on the stage of your own life
Trailing behind footsteps
There's comfort in ghosts who are no longer with you
Hiding behind your death

*I let you down you've lost your taste
I'm losing ground, I fall from grace
Well just listen, Sometimes

**You gotta set free what you love just to bring it back
Would you ever lose me?
Would you ever let go for that?
And if the love is real, you gotta let yourself go
Just to bring it back, sometimes
Just to bring it back

Hiding inside my asylum I'm always
Hanging on by a thread
I can't expect you to respect me until I've
Learned to respect myself

I've let you down, You've lost your taste
I'm losing ground, I miss your face
Well just listen
Well just listen, sometimes
Sometimes

**Repeat
Oh the love you're bringing back

*Repeat
You gotta set free what you love just to bring it back
Would you ever lose me?
Would you ever let go for that?
And if the love is real, you gotta teach yourself
Just to bring it back, sometimes
Just to bring it back
Oh the love you're bringing back
Oh the love you're bringing back
Sometimes
Sometimes
Just to bring it back
You gotta go for a while

*Bobby's in the basement, making his movie
He paints a little picture but not to be cheesy
He wants this little girl to believe in him easy
Bristles to the canvas imagining he feels high

**Inspiration of my art search for light out of the dark
All the pictures in my heart lie awake there in my fog
This oasis in my arms I approach it with disarm
Though it might do me some harm, stop to catch me if I fall

Bobby's in the basement, making his music
He never won't stop though not to abuse it
If there's some other way that they only would use it
He lives another day but they always refuse it

Lacerations of my heart, dropped down in pieces in the dark
Mixed the words up on this page, Makes the purple turn to beige

**Repeat

It's just like Bob Dylan says

***Stop depression of my own, walk the only road I know
If I am only dreaming, then I am not that far from it
Sow the strength that grows from seeds, worship creativity
If I am only dreaming, then me and Bob are not that far today
So long as I'm young

Bobby's in the basement, making his music

I search the beaches walk the sand
I cut my feet on the broken glass
Strap the sandals on my feet
I'm run down but I still hit the street

**Repeat

It's just like Bob Dylan says

***Repeat
So long as I'm young

*Repeat
High
Inspiration of my art
Desperation of my heart

You could be waiting for a day that won't come
And you could be so much more than you've become
And I have found my feet 257 weeks
But you could be waiting for a day that won't come

*You could be waiting for your life to begin
And you could be so much more than, than you've been
And I have found my feet 257 weeks
But you could be waiting for your life to begin

**And it's so sad
You're so good and I'm so bad
But you won't see me wasting
the best thing I've ever had
And it's such a shame
That I can't tell you anything
You won't hear me and still you endear me now, yeah

Hard to see past the window facing forward looking back
Over years spent tracing wondering how you left your track
Under water breathing burns your lungs and breaks your back
And you could be waiting right here for a day that won't come

**Repeat

*Repeat

**Repeat
Still you endear me now, yeah
Still you endear me now

In my heartsent, my confession, my condolence,
You're indefinite, you're incompetent, inconsiderate
You're so childish, I will push you
Out of what is real, out of my head
You can stick and drown at your residence of
Disappointments are of yours to come
So embrace them, oh my shallow one today

*If I could change anything then I would change everything
These bitter days shall remain

I don't ask for your forgiveness
I don't care much for your actress
That's just you though shallow and selfish
So I go now, oh my hollow one today

*Repeat

**You carry your blues behind your eyes
Don't flatter yourself, I will survive
So carry your blues your own denial
Your feathers are gone, you'll never fly

If I could change anything,
Then I would wipe the years away
If I could change anything
Then I would brush the time away
*Repeat

Since you're gone, I'm much better than you

**Repeat
She'll never fly..

*If you would just come back to me
I would be so good
Put your trust back at me
The least I think you should
We'll call it my pathology
So I misunderstood
A bit selfish I should be
If I could change I would
See it on my face

All I wanted was a friend
To look in me to comprehend
All I wanted was to fly
How could you sit and watch me die?
All I wanted was you there
Your cruelty was my despair
You just killed me, so the story goes

Once upon a time there was a girl
Who loved me more than life itself
By the duck pond, she said
"Carve our names into the bark!"
We climbed the tree, I slipped and fell behind
Now I'm sorry

*Repeat

All reminds me of your name
We sought fortune through the rain
Every day and every place
Everywhere I kissed you face
All the sacrifice in vain
How could you put all the blame upon me?
That's not fair, So the story goes

Once upon a time we had the moon
We had the stars, we were divine
Upon my shoulder, she cried
Now she hides the faith, she fears
She throws herself before her bed of lies
She'll be sorry

*Repeat
It's alright...

I drive in the rain with the window open
But it's not the same when everything has changed
But while you're still near, I'll try anything
And I'll say all the things that you said you wanted to hear
But the words inside my head are better left unsaid
To lie like the ghosts beneath my bed

*Don't you know that I go crazy
But I've nothing left to give
Though I'll miss you for a while
Don't you know that I go crazy
But you're on your own tonight
Though you know I'll miss your smile

You can't take back, half of what you give
And you don't remember, half the life you've lived
But while you're still here, I'll do anything
And I'll say all the things that you said you needed to hear

*Repeat

The words inside my head
Are better than the words I've said
As always

*Repeat

I want to crawl inside your womb
I want to watch the rose on your cheeks bloom
I want to be the face in the moon
And watch the stars spin around your room

*All your carefully worded letters
All your carefully spoken words

**I will continue to evolve
I will continue to revolve around your sun
'Cause you are the only one
Who understands, who reaches out with both hands
And even while you're fading
I'm just shivering and waiting
I will continue to evolve
I will continue to revolve around your sun
'Cause you are the only one

I want to drink deep from your well
I want to be the heart for which you fell
I want to be a shooting star
Across the heavens to be where you are

*Repeat
**Repeat

I want to crawl inside your womb
I want to watch the rose on your cheeks bloom

**Repeat

Time missing out
You're missing out
I'm missing out
We're missing out
You are the only one...

To watch the leaves grow on the trees with you
Is out of question
I walk into this summer all alone
The usual session
You feel your instinct then you act
But was it your intention?
To leave me down and broken now
You've ended our ascension, yeah

I still can feel the beach sand in my shoes
Remember When
We walked along the ocean's song
'Till blue from black fade in
But that was then I learned to live
Without you far within
I ask you why you're back to try
To let me lose again

You brought me here, you wet my taste
You disappear without a trace
It wasn't me who made the call

*'Cause I wanna be where you sleep
Where you laugh, where you breathe
And I hate to say, still I sway
Brown your eyes gone away

Should I feel some closure I deserve
If that at least
And would you be so kind to show reasons
For your release
You woke me up from a distant past
I left behind complete
The message that you sent that night
Now falls to bittersweet

Was it me, my honesty?
You fail to show, I never know
It wasn't me who made the call

*Repeat

Was it me, my honesty?
You fail to show, I never know
You brought me here, you wet my taste
You disappear without a trace
Did ya think I'd ever lead you wrong?
Just know I'll save all of our moments that we are

*Repeat
Someday you'll wish you never...

When I was younger man I hadn't a care
Foolin' around, hitting the town, growing my hair
You came along and stole my heart when you entered my life
Ooh girl you got what it takes wanna make you my wife

Since then I never looked back
It's almost like living a dream
And ooh I love you

You came along from far away and found me here
I was playin' around, feeling down, hittin' the beer
You picked me up from off the floor and gave me a smile
You said you're much too young, your life ain't begun, let's walk for awhile

And as my head was spinnin' 'round
I gazed into your eyes
Ooh I want you

Thank you girl for being a friend
And shinin' your light in my life
'cause ooh I need you

As my head was comin' round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought ooh I want you

Thanks again for being my friend
And straightenin' out my life
'cause ooh I need you

Since then I never looked back
It's almost like livin' a dream
Ooh I got you

If ever a man had it all
It would have to be me
And ooh I love you

Here's another day, she waits and pulls herself away
at just the right moment to save her face
I watch the time go ticking down, the waters falling on the ground
I catch myself and try to speak with grace
you needed just enough anger, to get you through the door
and you got just enough honesty, to make you want a little more

I wish for nothing but the rain, to fall and wash away
everything that I've done wrong, find a way to make you strong
if only for another day

when I'm all alone, just me and my ghosts
standing three deep, just like sentries at their post
they make sure I remember, just a little more than most
they make sure that I understand the consequence of past

when you see me chasing daydreams and you know that I'm not there
I'm not the one who sits across from you, who, returns your stare
and I watch as you grow quiet like you always did
and I wait to get what I deserve
its the part that doesn't die that makes it hurt...

How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh I've tried
For a life, yes a life
I thought I knew

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's gone

Time seems to have frozen
But the mind can't be fooled
As the days pass I discover
Destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times, oh hard times
For the price, yes the price
I thought I knew

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cuase it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's gone
Until it's gone

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cuase it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's done
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's done
