Left of the Middle
TORN
I THOUGHT I SAW A MAN BROUGHT TO LIFE
HE WAS WARM HE CAME AROUND LIKE HE WAS DIGNIFIED
HE SHOWED ME WHAT IT WAS TO CRY
WELL YOU COULDN'T BE THAT MAN I ADORED
YOU DON'T SEEM TO KNOW
OR SEEM TO CARE WHAT YOUR HEART IS FOR
I DON'T KNOW HIM ANYMORE
THERE'S NOTHIN' WHERE HE USED TO LIE
MY CONVERSATION HAS RUN DRY
THAT'S WHAT'S GOIN' ON
NOTHING'S FINE I'M TORN
I'M ALL OUT OF FAITH, THIS IS HOW I FEEL
I'M COLD AND AM SHAMED
LYING NAKED ON THE FLOOR
ILLUSION NEVER CHANGED
INTO SOMETHING REAL
I'M WIDE AWAKE AND I CAN SEE THE PERFECT SKY IS TORN
YOU'RE A LITTLE LATE
I'M ALREADY TORN
SO I GUESS THE FORTUNE TELLER'S RIGHT
I SHOULD HAVE SEEN JUST WHAT WAS THERE AND NOT SOME HOLY LIGHT
BUT YOU CRAWLED BENEATH MY VEINS AND NOW I DON'T CARE, I HAVE NO LUCK
I DON'T MISS IT ALL THAT MUCH
THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS
THAT I CAN'T TOUCH I'M TORN
THERE'S NOTHING WHERE HE USED TO LIE
MY INSPIRATION HAS RUN DRY
THAT'S WHAT'S GOIN' ON
NOTHING'S RIGHT I'M TORN...
ONE MORE ADDICTION
FIRST THE GOOD NEWS
IT'S GONNA FEEL VERY NICE
THEN THE BAD NEWS
YOU GOTTA PAY A HEAVY PRICE
RIP TIDE, WE SLIDE WE RIDE ON A DEEP FORBIDDEN SEA
UNDER WE GO - SO SLOW
AND YOU'RE HANGING ONTO ME
AND I SAY
OH OH ONE MORE ADDICTION IN MY WORLD
OH ONE MORE CONNECTION TO LET GO
OH FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER
OUT OF SIGHT FOREVER (FROM MY WORLD)
IT'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW HOW TO DO
I REJECT YOU
BUT I CAN'T FOLLOW THROUGH
I'D FORGET YOU
BUT YOU'D END UP TAPPIN' ON MY BACK DOOR
SOMEHOW I LOST MYSELF
IN A TUNNEL LONG AND BLACK
SOMEWHERE, AT THE END, I PRETEND
THERE'S A WAY OF TURNING BACK
(CHORUS)
TAKE A BREATH
LET IT OUT
ALL THE THINGS YOU FROWN ABOUT ARE MEANINGLESS OF COURSE
UNLESS YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR REAL I GUESS
I MEANT TO BUT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IS IN THE WAY AND COULD I SAY
IT'S YOU I BET
I WON'T FORGET
MAYBE I'M NOT READY YET
(CHORUS)
BIG MISTAKE
THERE'S NO SIGN ON THE GATE
AND THERE'S MUD ON YOUR FACE
DON'T YA THINK IT'S TIME WE RE-INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION
PUT SOME FRUIT ON YOUR PLATE
YOU FORGOTTEN HOW IT STARTED
CLOSE YOUR EYES
THINK OF ALL THE BUBBLES OF LOVE WE MADE
AND YOU'RE DOWN ON YOUR KNEES
IT'S TOO LATE
OH DON'T COME CRAWLIN'
AND YOU LIE BY MY FEET
WHAT A BIG MISTAKE
I SEE YOU FALLIN'
GOT A BUZZ IN MY HEAD
AND MY FLOWERS ARE DEAD
CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RECTIFY
THIS SITUATION
DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID
YOU FORGOTTEN HOW IT STARTED
CLOSE YOUR EYES
THINK OF ALL THE BUBBLES OF LOVE WE MADE
AND YOU'RE DOWN ON YOUR KNEES
IT'S TOO LATE
OH DON'T COME CRAWLIN'
AND YOU LIE BY MY FEET
WHAT A BIG MISTAKE
I SEE YOU FALLIN'
I COULD STING LIKE A BEE
CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT ME
BABY I DON'T THINK I'LL ACCEPT YOUR SORRY INVITATION
CLOSE THE DOOR AS YOU LEAVE
AND YOU CRY OVER ME
I CAN'T WAIT
I FEEL YOU STALLIN'
AND YOU TRY TO REACH ME
WHAT A BIG MISTAKE
I HEAR YOU CALLIN'
LEAVE ME ALONE
I ASK YOU TO HOLD ME, BUT YOU DON'T WANNA HOLD ME
IT DON'T WORK LIKE THAT
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME, BUT YOU DON'T WANNA LOVE ME
I'M LOSING PATIENCE NOW
OH LEAVE ME ALONE (OH LEAVE ME ALONE)
STOP ASKING FOR MORE
I'M GOIN'G HOME ON MY OWN
OH LEAVE ME ALONE (OH LEAVE ALONE)
I'M WALKIN' OUT OF THE DOOR
I'LL MAKE IT ON MY OWN
LEAVE ME ALONE
LEAVE ME ALONE
LEAVE ME ALONE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
YOU LIKE ME TO STROKE YOU
CAREFUL I DON'T CHOKE YOU, DID YOU READ MY MIND ?
YOU SAY DON'T BE BLUE
IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO ?
I'VE LOST MY PATIENCE NOW
INTUITION
EVERYBODY'S BEEN IN MY FACE
TELLIN' ME I GOTTA MAKE A CHANGE
ALL I EVER HEAR DAY AND NIGHT IS "YOU BETTER HURRY UP AND GET A LIFE"
I NEED SOME DIRECTION
'CAUSE THE CLOCK IS TICKIN' AWAY
THEN A FRIEND OF A FRIEND OF MINE
SAYS I'VE REALLY BEEN ON HIS MIND
AND WANTS TO GO OUT AND CHECK OUT WHAT THE FEELIN'S ABOUT
SAYS WE HAVE A DEEP CONNECTION
WELL IT SURE IS NEWS TO ME
AND ALL I CAN SAY IS
INTUITION TELLS ME HOW TO LIVE MY DAY
INTUITION TELLS ME WHEN TO WALK AWAY
COULD HAVE TURNED LEFT
COULD HAVE TURNED RIGHT
BUT I ENDED UP HERE
BANG IN THE MIDDLE OF REAL LIFE
THEN ANOTHER ONE ALWAYS SAYS
SHE'D DO ANYTHING TO GET AHEAD
SHE DOESN'T CARE IF SHE HAS TO SCRATCH AND CLAW TO GET IN THE DOOR
SHE WANTS HER 15 MINUTES OF FAME AND 20 WOULD BE NICE
BUT I GUESS IT'S HER LIFE
'CAUSE INTUITION TELLS ME THAT I'M DOIN' FINE
INTUITION TELLS ME WHEN TO DRAW THE LINE
COULD HAVE TURNED LEFT
COULD HAVE TURNED RIGHT
BUT I ENDED UP HERE
BANG IN THE MIDDLE OF REAL LIFE
SHOULD HAVE TURNED LEFT
BUT I TURNED RIGHT
AND I ENDED UP HERE
AND I FEEL ALRIGHT
YOU MAKE IT HARD FOR ME
CAN'T FIND THE REAL YOU
YOU REALLY THINK THAT I CAN'T SEE
WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
SMOKE
MY LULLABY HUNG OUT TO DRY
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT
IT'S OVER
WHERE ARE YOU DAD
MUM'S LOOKIN' SAD
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT
IT'S DARK IN HERE
WHY BLEEDING IS BREATHING
YOU'RE HIDING, UNDERNEATH THE SMOKE IN THE ROOM
TRY BLEEDING IS BELIEVING
I USED TO
MY MOUTH IS DRY
FORGOT HOW TO CRY
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT
YOU'RE HURTING ME
I'M RUNNING FAST
CAN'T HIDE THE PAST
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT
YOU'RE PUSHING ME
WHY BLEEDING IS BREATHING
YOU'RE HIDING, UNDERNEATH THE SMOKE IN THE ROOM
TRY, BLEEDING IS BELIEVING
I USED TO
WHY BLEEDDING IS BREATHING
YOU'RE HIDING, UNDERNEATH THE SMOKE IN THE ROOM
TRY, BLEEDING IS BELIEVING
I SAW YOU CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR
WHY BLEEDiNG IS BELIEVING
YOU'RE HIDING UNDERNEATH THE SMOKE IN THE ROOM
TRY, BLEEDING IS BELIEVING
I SAW YOU CRAWLING TO THE DOOR
WHY, BLEEDING IS BELIEVING
YOU'RE HIDING, UNDERNEATH THE SMOKE IN THE ROOM
TRY, BLEEDING IS BELIEVING
I SAW YOU FALLING ON THE FLOOR
PIGEONS AND CRUMBS
GOTTA GET BACK
GONNA FIGURE OUT A WAY
I'M LOSING - MY SENSES TO YOU
WHERE'D IT GO, THE BLUEBIRD I SHOULD FOLLOW
BACK HOME ?
BUT WHERE IS HOME ?
I GUESS IT WON'T AMOUNT TO MUCH
WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I CRUSH
I'LL STAND IN LINE
DON'T BELIEVE A THING THEY SAY,TODAY
SEEMS WE ALL GET LOST AMONGST THE PIGEONS AND THE CRUMBS
ALL ALONE
BUT I'M IN A CROWDED ROOM
I'M SINKING, IN QUICKSAND TONIGHT
YOU PICK ME UP AND SHINE ACROSS THE SKY TILL MORNING
THEN YOU COLOUR ME IN
GUESS IT WON'T AMOUNT TO MUCH
SEEMS TO ME I'VE LOST MY TOUCH
I'M BACK IN LINE
DON'T BELIEVE A THING THEY SAY TODAY
TURN AROUND AND WALK AWAY
EVERYTHING WILL GO YOUR WAY, I PRAY
SEEMS WE ALL GET LOST AMONGST THE PIGEONS AND THE CRUMBS
DON'T YOU THINK ?
SOME PEOPLE
DON'T WORRY
'BOUT NOTHING
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
I'M NOT ONE
WHO CAN'T SAY THEY'RE SORRY
I JUST CARE WHAT'S GOING ON
THERE'S MORE IMPORTANT THINGS
THAN MAKING SURE YOUR WATCH LOOKS JUST RIGHT
AND SECOND HAND OPINIONS
DON'T MAKE YOU LOOK ANY SMARTER
DON'T YOU THINK
DON'T YOU THINK
DON'T YOU THINK THAT MAYBE IT'S TIME
YES IT'S TIME
TIME YOU STARTED THINKING
TIME YOU STARTED THINKING
AND DON'T JUST SWEETEN UP THE TASTE
BROTHER SHOOTS BROTHER
BUT MEANWHILE YOU'RE FIXING UP YOUR FACE
YOU'RE NOT AFFECTED BY THE TRUTH
UNLESS IT'S ON YOUR DOORSTEP
DEODORISE YOUR PARADISE
NO POINT IN GETTING CRAZY
DON'T YOU THINK
DON'T YOU THINK
DON'T YOU THINK THAT MAYBE
IT'S TIME, YES IT'S TIME
TIME YOU STARTED THINKING ABOUT THINGS IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD
SOMEONE SAID BEFORE YOU TURN A BLIND EYE
HEAR A BELL RING SEX SELLS EVERYTHING
BUT I DON'T BUY IT SO DON'T TRY IT
SLEEPING IN THE SMALL WORLD HEAD IN THE SAND
BETTER WASH YOUR HANDS, MAKE A NEW PLAN
THERE'S MORE IMPORTANT THINGS
THAN MAKING SURE YOUR SHOES WALK JUST RIGHT
IGNORE REALITY
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT...
THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR DON'T MAKE THE MAN
IT'S JUST ANOTHER PARTY
IMPRESSED
SWEET CONFETTI OUT LOOKING FOR A SAVIOUR
FINDING IT HARD TO BREAK THE CHAIN
NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED
ICE CREAM BEAUTY ACTING ON HER BEST BEHAVIOUR
FINDING IT HARD TO BITE HER TONGUE
FEELING SO OLD AS THE NIGHT IS YOUNG
SIX FOOT LEANING
ON A LIZARD CHEST
TWO RED DRAGONS IRONED ON HIS VEST
ALL THAT MONEY YOU DESERVE THE BEST
I'M IMPRESSED, I'M IMPRESSED, I'M IMPRESSED
WHAT YOU'VE GOT ISN'T ALL THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
CHANGING YOUR BODY LIKE YOU CHANGE YOUR JEANS
NOTHING IS EVER AS IT SEEMS
SOMETHING TELLS ME IT'S A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN
STEALING YOUR LOOK FROM A MAGAZINE
PLAYING THE PART FROM A MOVIE SCENE
SIX FOOT LEANING ON A LIZARD CHEST
TWO RED DRAGONS IRONED ON HIS VEST
ALL THAT MONEY YOU DESERVE THE BEST
I'M IMPRESSED, I'M IMPRESSED, I'M IMPRESSED
EVERYDAY IS LIKE YOUR BIRTHDAY
BUT THE CANDLE'S BURNING, DON'T YOU SEE, DON'T YOU SEE
WISHING I WAS THERE
TAKE YOUR HAND
AND PLACE IT IN MY POCKET
FLICK YOUR EYES BACK IN THEIR SOCKETS
PUT THOSE THOUGHTS AWAY
SOMETIMES THEY'RE MUCH TOO LOUD
I'LL TAKE A BREATH
AND CRADLE YOUR SWEET HEAD
SHOULD'VE STAYED AT HOME IN BED
PUT THAT FACE AWAY
I'M MELTING FOR YOU
I KNOW, I GET COLD
COS I CAN'T LEAVE THINGS WELL ALONE
UNDERSTAND I'M ACCIDENT PRONE
ME, I GET FREE
EVERY NIGHT THE MOON IS MINE
BUT WHEN THE MORNING COMES
DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME
DON'T SAY YOU NEED ME
I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR
BOY I'M NOT SO DUMB
BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
I'LL BE WISHING I, WISHING I, WISHING I WAS THERE
I DREAMT
ABOUT ANOTHER GIRL IN BED WITH YOU
YOU JUST LAUGHED AND SMILED
DENIED THE PROOF
WE'RE FINE TILL I THINK OF A PROBLEM
I WISH IT MADE SENSE
LIKE A JOKE THAT NO ONE GETS
IT'S A LIFE WITHOUT REGRET
I WANT IT TO FEEL THAT WAY, FOREVER AND EVER
CITY
HAD A DREAM
HAD A DROWNING DREAM I WAS IN A RIVER OF PAIN
ONLY DIFFERENCE THIS TIME
I WASN'T CALLING OUT YOUR NAME YEAH
HAS IT ENDED BEFORE IT'S BEGUN
YOU HOLD ON
AND I TRY TO RUN BUT
ANYBODY HEADING IN MY DIRECTION
AWAY FROM THE CITY
ANYBODY WANNA CHANGE THE WAY THEY FEEL STEP INSIDE
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHERE YOU WANNA TAKE ME
AWAY FROM THE CITY
I WANNA START AGAIN
I WANNA START AGAIN
I WANNA TAKE IT BACK
I WANNA START AGAIN
FUNNY HOW THOSE FRIENDS FORGET YOU WHEN YOU TIRE OF THEIR GAMES
YOU MISS A SHOW OR A PARTY THAT BLOWS
AND THEY'VE FORGOTTEN YOUR NAME, YEAH
AND YOU WONDER WHAT YOU'VE BECOME
THEY PULL YOU BACK WHEN YOU TRY TO RUN
WELL ANYBODY HEADING IN MY DIRECTION
AWAY FROM THE CITY
ANYBODY WANNA CHANGE THE WAY THEY FEEL
STEP INSIDE
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHERE YOU WANNA TAKE ME
AWAY FROM THE CITY
I WANNA START AGAIN
I WANNA START AGAIN
I WANNA TAKE IT BACK
I WANNA START AGAIN
I LEFT THE ME I USED TO BE
I WANNA SEE THIS THROUGH
I LEFT THE ME USED TO BE
IF ONLY YOU'D SEE IT TOO
WELL I WONDER WHAT YOU'VE BECOME
YOU PULL ME BACK WHEN I TRY TO RUN
LEFT OF THE MIDDLE
END OF THE THIRD ROUND
AS I PUT THE PHONE DOWN
CHASING THE SAME LINES
OVER THE OLD GROUND
I'M PUSHING ZERO
WHERE IS MY HERO
HE'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE
LEFT OF THE MIDDLE
AND YOUR WORLD FALLS DOWN
AND YOU'RE THERE CALLING OUT
BUT IT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T SAY
THOUGH IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY
BUT IT'S A GAME THAT I CAN'T PLAY - NOT TODAY !
I GOT MY TICKET
AND I GOT A STRAIGHT ROAD
BUT I'M PASSING THE SAME SIGNS
OVER AND OVER
AND MY WORLD FALLS DOWN
AND I'M THERE CALLING OUT
BUT IT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T SAY
THOUGH IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY
BUT IT'S A GAME THAT I CAN'T PLAY - NOT TODAY !
I NEED TO TELL YOU
TRYING TO GET THROUGH
IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY
LEFT OF THE MIDDLE
IDENTIFY
Your eyes they send me to eternity,
Your heart may cast me down to hell.
I'm gone but lately it's your love,
It's condemnation enough.
Identify, please identify.
If it's me you want standing by your side.
Identify.
These tears of mine,
Am I lonely or am I just alive?
And let time to say
Who and why we stand,
It's test of love.
Your hands were speaking "No".
I felt the movement go,
The ice was breaking so
I wonder why that I'd
Identify with you my life
To leave me empty
And see if I'd survive
For every questioned hour,
For every second devoured
You left me wonder you
Into a myth that I missed.
Identify, please identify.
If it's me you want standing by your side.
Identify.
These tears of mine,
Am I lonely or am I just alive?
Am I lonely or am I just alive?
FRIGHTENED CHILD
I hear your silent scream,
Deep in your private dream,
Two ways to go from here,
One way will bring you near,
Fragile wish.
Full moon, no rain, no shame,
That distance still remains,
More shades of grey to come,
We've been through more than one,
Close your eyes.
Like a frightened child,
Fragile in spirit,
Like a wind blowing wild,
No name you can give it,
Like an infantile seeing the light for the very first
time.
No tricks, no sleight of hand,
Find somewhere safe to land,
Before your walls were shakin',
But now the whole thing's breakin',
And it makes you feel...
Like a frightened child,
Fragile in spirit,
Like a wind blowing wild,
No name you can give it,
Like an infantile seein' the light for the very first
time.
Yes you're right,
What is right?
Yes it's night, I can tell.
Yes it's yours,
Yes I know,
You're a beautiful stranger to yourself.
CONTRADICTIONS
Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin' on tight by a single thread,
Prayin' for a change.
Everything you could have sacrificed,
Your flesh and blood had it's own sweet price,
Baby's all grown up and moved away,
Where's that leave you now?
It was your own decision,
You made my life your mission.
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction.
Why is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good,
Sorry if I didn't see the truth,
The sadness in your eyes.
I wanted to stand on my own two feet,
Looking at life as a one way street,
Thinking that I had it all worked out,
Where's that leave me now?
We lost communication,
Too many expectations.
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction,
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction.
Everything I have inside,
I kept it wrapped up tight,
All I know is ...
All I want to know is...
Somebody tell me,
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction,
In a world of contradiction.
Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin' on tight by a single thread,
Where's that leave you now?
I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU
When the rose.
slaps your face
says your pain is a state of grace (I think that's right)
mirror cracks
image bleeds
he'll touch your desires
but not your needs
I stand at an open window
I see everything there is to see
I-I-I i've been watching you
isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I-I-I i've been watching you
isn't it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you
party ends
on the floor
hear a voice
behind the door
in the dark
you play his games
forget yourself
forget your name
I stand at an open window
I see everything there is to see
I-I-I i've been watching you
isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I-I-I i've been watching you
isn't it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you
so there you are all dressed in black
walk away and don't look back
but if you must then cast a stone
the light is on but there's nothing and no one home (I
think)
cos i've been watching you
isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taIking you
I-I I've been watching you
isn't it true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you
I said I i've been watching you
Isn't it true the fool keeps taking you down down
taking you
I-I-I I've been watching you
isn't true the world keeps taking you down down
taking you down.
SOMETHING BETTER
I won't say anything
i'm hiding in the pink
if I move will I break the spell
or am I boring you?
I can't feel anything
i'll think whatever you think
you took me riding on the big wheel
so I guess i'm happy now
and i'll stay with you
and i'll lay with you
and i'll always be there
nothing will go wrong
til something better comes along
so now you've swallowed me
come and finish off the rest of me
we'll build a house with cactus lights
spend perfect days and sleepless nights
whatever
(whatever)
and i'll stay with you
and i'll lay with you
and i'll always be there
nothing will go wrong
til something better comes along
and i've lost my fingerprints
and i've lost my sixth sense
but you just don't feel a thing
when the needle's going in
and i'll stay with you
and i'll lay with you
and i'll always be there
won't go nowhere
and i'll stay with you
(til something better comes along)
and i'll lay with you
(til something better comes along
and I will stay
and I will lay with you
(til something better comes along)
(til something better comes along)
(til something better comes along)
(til something better comes along)
so now you've swallowed me
come and finish off the rest of me
TROUBLED BY THE WAY WE CAME
TOGETHER
From hand to hand you bought and sold
blood is the shield against the weather
became a stone for fear of being melted
trouble from the day we came together
when you recover, from yesterdays low
tue slave to traction of pleasure
i collect the embers as i watch you grow
you left along the way we came together
as you breathe as you breathe it to life
you will leave, you will leave
as you stray as you star far from home
i will believe i will believe
flames of love immerse you
cradle and coerce you
shadows over on the place you play
names of love we mind along the way
seem shallowed by the way we came together
my heart carries on, umm,
but my head knows better
troubled by the way we came together
as you breathe, as you breathe it to life
you will leave, you will leave
as you stray as you stary far from home
i will believe, i will believe
'cos you are here today, and gone tomorrow
basking in the fields of never never
you wanted today, oh but i wanted forever
troubled byt he way we came together
my heart carries on, umm
but my head knows better
troubled by the way we came together
as you breathe as you breathe it to life
you will leave, you will leave
as you stray, as you stary far from home
i will believe, i will believe
'cos you are here today
and gone tomorrow
WHY
The sky has fallen on my yesterday
I watch my moon and blue sun (?) slip away
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why i don't know
And i try to pull myself togehter
I don't want to go home (?)
The little girl has lost her way today
The tables turning on the game she plays
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I (slip away) fall . . .
TOMORROW MORNING
Lonely
Lost every part of me
Maybe
Outstayed my company
Walking into sad scenes
Hold me tight
And say goodbye
I've seen behind tomorrow's sky
You'll be my missing alibi
Pull me over backwards
Turn around
And change my mind
Cos I've been thinking
About our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning
Are you a friend of mine?
I swear you've left me open
Nowhere to hide this moment
Overcrowded daydreams
We are lost
Or so it seems
Cos I've been thinking
About our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning
Are you a friend of mine?
Cos I've been thinking
About our world tonight
Slowly sinking
Into my appetite
Tomorrow morning
Are you a friend of mine?
SOMETIMES
Isn't it like me,
To want to say,
Things I can't explain in simple ways?
Why should I be sane?
Why can't I be crazy?
Sometimes I'm up,
Sometimes I'm down,
I choke on words, and make no sound.
Sometimes.
Sometimes I'm weak,
Sometimes I'm strong,
Living with the fear I don't belong,
Sometimes.
Why is it so hard,
To know myself?
Underneath this skin you'll find, someone else.
Don't be so suprised,
When you look inside me,
(inside me)
Sometimes It's black,
Sometimes It's white,
You hide behind electric light,
Sometimes.
Sometimes I swear,
Sometimes I pray,
Suddenly the guilty dissobey,
Sometimes.
Sometimes I'm weak,
Sometimes I'm strong,
Living with the fear I don't belong,
Sometimes.
Sometimes I stand,
Sometimes I fall,
I throw myself against the wall,
Sometimes.
Sometimes I sink,
Sometimes I swim,
Tell me why my world is caving in,
Sometimes.
Sometimes it's sweet,
Sometimes it's raw,
Trying to get so high, like I did before,
Sometimes.
Sometimes in love,
Sometimes in hate,
Sometimes it's all a big mistake,
Sometimes.
DIVING AT THE DEEP END
Why should it be,
Someone like me,
Could make the same mistakes again?
Havent I learned,
People get hurt,
When they go diving in the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end.
Thought I was smart,
Controlling the art,
Of turning off my intuition,
Haven't I seen,
Since I was 14,
That life is all just repetition.
You loose all your whim,
You sink or you swim,
When you go diving in the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end,
In the deep end.
Now it's time to realise,
You dont have to agonise,
You dont have to compromise,
But the one thing you must do is open your eyes,
Your eyes,
Your eyes.
Why should it be,
Someone like me,
Could make the same mistakes again,
Havent I learned,
People get hurt,
When they go diving,
Diving,
Diving,
Diving ...
