LYRICS:
SEND IT ON HOME
come on, get out, turn your back on your shadow of doubt
and just let it go, just send it on home
get off, get high, it’s just another way to die
with an electric smile, still feeling in style i don’t see why you’re broken hearted
when the time of your life hasn’t even started
your future looked bright ‘til your history bought it
so just send it on home to the dear departed i’ll be sending my love to you, sending my love to you
God only knows why - you just can’t shake the truth
i’m sending my love to you get up, get back, don’t even try pretending that
a trip around the sun can change where you’re from
the big love you want is ever going to be enough
for what you’re dreaming of
CRUSH
she wakes up late sunday morning
warm in bed, outside it’s storming
she gets up slow, because she’s got no place to go
and looks out her window he regrets not packing the chute
now that his plane is en route
to the building below where it’s sure to blow
that poor girl in the window God get me out of here
i am overcome with fear, and it’s clear
this ain’t one of my better days
it looks like i’m headed your way, so today i pray i woke up late yesterday morning
she calls me up to say she’s going
to leave me again, now she’s my triple-x girlfriend
oh God, will this ever end? it’s funny how it sometimes seems
your worst nightmare is the girl of your dreams
and you waste years making up for wasted time
it’s funny how it always ends
you kiss, you hug, you say, “we’ll always be friends”
then you go at each other for the rest of your lives i think you’re great, God, but i don’t need you around
but disregard that when she leaves me lying face down on the ground
EVERMORE
i don’t want anybody knowing so i close my eyes, my dear, and i
will dim this heart and the rate at which it’s growing
and i won’t fall for amberthol anymore… anymore and i want to die for you
and a love worth dying for
is the only love i’ll know evermore… evermore there’s nothing i wouldn’t do for your love
just when you think that i’ve given enough
i’m giving some more
because my heart just don’t want to let go
BETTER THAN TEN
ricky had a shot at the top of the charts
riding on half a voice and the pre-shattered hearts
of the teenage girls to whom he meant the world
but the easily entertained are the easily bored and now he’ll never get better than ten, better than ten eddie fell in shock at the fame that he lost
left his life on the mic and his heart nearly stopped
yeah, i guess he forgot in the haze of the pot
what put him on top was the business that he fought now he’ll never get better than ten
better than never get better than ten, better than ten watching all the stars falling (live without a net)
but they'll keep coming back again and again and again
i’m not just one more comet burning up and out bridgette’s rockin’ art on her innermost parts
hoping life won’t fall apart but she never would’ve thought
that a belly-button ring could have speared her through the heart
now everything’s fading, it’s all going dark
PERFECT SOMETIMES
it’s been far too long since you’ve fallen in love
so i guess this’ll just have to do
so can we pretend that i’ve already said
everything you wanted me to to make you mine, though i’m not what you had in mind
but i… i'll be fine whenever you feel like perfection’s in reach
it’s time to wake up from the lie
and i can’t be what you’re expecting of me
but we could still be perfect sometimes
we could still be perfect sometimes you’d never expect that you’d ever neglect
your heart as it started to bloom
but doubt and regret broke your heart and your neck
on the love that you’d fallen into i realize that i’m not what you had in mind
but just try to say goodbye it’s been far too long since you’ve fallen in love
so i guess that i’ll just have to do
JUST SAY YOU LOVE ME
i’d give the world for a ticket to the thoughts in your head
i wouldn’t give a dream for a thing that you've said
just say that you love me, just say that you love me you told me i was a chapter in a book that you read
as you recited poems from the book of the dead
flagging down the astronauts from up on your ledge
winding up the time bomb in the back of your head
just say that you love me, just say that you love me how long have we been going so wrong
how long will love keep going on and on and on i’d give the world for a ticket to the thoughts in your head
i wouldn’t give a dream for a dear thing that you said
just say that you love me, just say that you love me
COME AROUND
darlin’, won’t you come around
i’m feeling a little unknown
darlin’, won’t you come around
whenever the weather turns cold i’ve been wondering on about when in the world
your heart started taking on the shape of a carousel
wondering on about when in the world
you stopped feeling your soul but i’ll keep waiting for you
i’ll keep waiting for you
i’ll keep waiting for you… for now darlin’, won’t you come around
rest my weary soul
there’s a darkness i feel that’s covering this town
but your touch lights up my world but i’ll keep waiting for you
i’ll keep waiting for you
i’ll keep waiting for you
KEEP DREAMING ON
if i could make you love me, what good would it do
give it time to break me and that’s just what it’d do
but i’m glad you’re here to catch my last breath
the end of my existence as a martyr for loneliness
but if you think this is over yet… keep dreaming on i’d never make you love me, so what’s that say about you?
but we both feel something you know is true
but now you’ve come to hate the things you didn’t regret
you gained your independence at the cost of your innocence
but if you feel love’s left us yet… if i could let you love me
i’m sure it’s just what you’d do
BETWEEN YOU AND ME
so how many times does it take ‘til you get it right?
i suppose more than you’ve ever had before
is it too much to ask that you look me in the eyes?
smile and nod, ‘cause you just don’t understand tonight there’s nothing between you and me but the galaxy
and it’s just like my dreams, except that it seems
in my dreams you almost love me so do you still say your prayers each and every night
or did your pillow claim your loyalty?
and if i should die before you wake you know it’s all right
heaven loves you, but hell still misses me so how many times does it take ‘til i get it right?
i suppose more than we've ever had before
BALLAD 629
i know why the sun didn’t shine on your birthday, despite all the lies
i saw the paramedics take your breath away
when they told you that your stupid game took a life
but you close your eyes and it’s okay so why do you hold your skin accountable for everything that goes wrong
how can you shun your friends when they’re next to you
and then forget them when they’re gone do you cry when i ’m on your mind
or just close your eyes ‘til it’s okay, walk away you’re wishing upon your t.v. screen
counting every dream in the deep blue sea ‘til it’s gone
you wake up in the arms of make believe
on a shelf in your room with all the beautiful things you love i know why the sun didn’t shine on your birthday, but who blacked out the skies?
it felt like wintertime was coming early when you told me that you never meant for me to die
