Well, I don't know what's worse:
to change when you're not ready,
or stay exactly how you were
No one tells the truth
to a camera in their face
but we're always trying to recreate those same snapshots
The philosopher in me
drives the rest of me crazy
but I know you see the things I see in you
So when you get there
Let me know you're well
I'll be waiting for your call
And when you get there
Tel...
It's the feeling I get
When I see my own breath,
reminds me I'm alive
And my hooded sweatshirt skin
that I've been living in
blends into the night
and all this love is only breathing in
Do you see it in my eyes?
It should come as no surprise
sparks of silent din
You can see but you can't hear
because the meaning's never clear
and it blends into the night
and all this love is only breathing in
Every time you speak
a stream of bullshit fall to the ground
and every time you breathe
I can smell the burning embers of truth all around
Every time you cry
One tear is always shed for yourself
and every time you vie for adoration
you get farther from yourself
Now I don't know how to rectify the situation
created by your infatuation with yourself
Every time I think
I know what's being said
I'...

The train to Trenton's right on time
but I'm still waiting for my ego to arrive
A dollar five
A poor man asks and I oblige
Here's to my money leaving me before my mind
and it's not hard to keep the engine clean when you don't drive
and it's not hard to keep the engine clean when you don't drive
Aching for what keeps us from feeling
It's such a peaceful burn
1:03
The platform has become a...
Waves of promise
are spilling over
out of the cauldron that
you once spoke from
now your words have
become a jukebox
the songs recycled
you beg for quarters
but I can't hear you
you're too loud for me
and when you whisper, well
you just bore me
but just keep talking
I need the company
and maybe someday
I'll tell you just what you've become
But you'll never love what you become
'cause you can't...
Chances always arriving,
passing by like cars in the distance
Takes me out of the moment,
and I lose myself in the headlights
I'm peeling off my labels
I'm peeling off my labels
Civilize me and tame me
Teach me all of your facts and your fictions
Throw me into cold water
When I come out I'll be numb with clarity
I'm peeling off my labels
I'm peeling off my labels
The need for distraction

He whispers softly into her ear,
says all the things you'd want to hear
from a lover or one you'd spend your life with,
but he is not one like that
Take her to the bar, buys her another rum coke
Goes outside so her can have a smoke
clutches her arm as he hails a cab
and as they collapse together, he begins to tell her,
"I swear I'll love you
With all of my heart
I swear I'll need you
cause I'v...
she walks into my life
everyday for the first time
she makes me feel alright
every time
she walks into the room
for the last time
says what's on her mind
and she says...
the time has come
to close the door behind you and start the clock
I'm parked out front
so pull the suitcase to the car, throw it in the trunk
and we've been so patient
we've waited such a long time for another year
and we've got the scars
so it's time to take the clutch, throw it into gear
now I'm on the road
feeling hungry
but I want that time again
and we're on the road
feeling lucky
but I ...
Long Island sun
It wakes me up,
sneaks from the east into my window up above
and I wish it were you
crawling through that pane
for that I'd trade this sunshine
for a week of rain
It's a small world, or so they so
But mostly it feels large
When we walk through these deserts of sorrow
Waiting for the next mirage
On Southern Parkway,
There's a traffic jam
Thousands of cars are making love
while t...
