Wonderful as it may seem,
I've never been alone
Open wide and look closely
This is what I'm shown

I've got friends in this cold city
That won't pick up no slack
I've got friends on every street
That wanna stab my back
Oh, Oh, oooh

I've been around the block, oh oh
So many times I forgot my address
So many times I don't know where I live

Terrible as it may be
Don't wanna leave this misery

Wiping the sleep from my eyes
Waking up to no surprises
The feeling of compromise
Telling you my dear, you don't brighten my day

Step into the water cold
These mornings are getting old
Turning the motor over again and again
I just have to get away

My mother told me that
There would be days like this

And it's true
There's no feelings
Shackled to the sheets that
Bind me to you,
No more dreaming

This temptation
proves to be too much
And all the avenues explode, yeah
My situation hard to touch
And you don't want me anymore
And I can't take that anymore

This is my mission statement
Just listen and don't negate it
My woman, tis of thee
Sweet land of you and me

I don't want your friendship
I'm still wanting more
Why don't we just end it
It's you I can't ignore

Dog day afternoon
I can see your face
I know you'll get here soon
And we'll leave this place
I would just lay in the mustard seed
And watch you climb the trees
Look for fool's gold in the scary creek
Splash you, cold, and hear you scream

No one's here to see us
I'm kinda liking you too
No one's here to believe us
And I don't wanna share you

Years gone by and this creek's all dried

We always seem to fit like a tight dress
You were beautiful, I was obsessed
Occupy my time just to get through
And try and figure out how to get you
Acoustic guitar just for you in the car
Walks in the park had you home before dark
Poetry readings and dinner proceedings
You showed me something those days they meant nothing

What the hell am I supposed to do?
I can't forgive and forget you [x2]

I used to think that the end was near
But years gone by and I'm still right here
It alwasy seemed like the day would come
To end my trials and tribulations

Now I'm older and wiser...

This could be over in a heartbeat
In the blink of an eye
It's getting closer
To the last time

I used to be such a thief
And wear an ugly disguise
And yes I even believed
In my own alibis

Technology won't save you
or your atmosphere
You carry on like nothing's wrong
But it could happen here
Do you live for love?
Do you live for fear?
It's on the other side of life
but it could happen here

Maybe too late
Better find some shelter
Maybe it's fate
But it could happen
Will we ever pick up all these pieces?
I look around and all I see is pieces
And if you think that you are free,

The cameras picked you out of this place,
Now you're rising
Lo and behold! Your smile is fake
How surprising
If we could rewind back to your roots,
Admission...
You locked it up and turned the dial
I know the combination

Lord knows I'm weak
For trusting you
Lord knows I'm weak
To believe in you

Develop the film and there you are
All your glory
Your negative's dark and just like you

Been losing sleep around you
Don't know just how I found you
We swam in San Sebastian
Broken necks and halo traction
We swam in San Sebastian...

Hearing something not right in your tone
Got a feeling that you're not quite on your own
I swim in San Diego
Tie these bricks to my legs and let go
Tie these bricks to my legs and let go...

Been losing sleep around you
Don't know just how I found you

This repercussion's messing with your ghost
I feel you through the air now
Wish I could tell you that I miss you most
I miss you most, all the time now

Sleepwalker miss you much
I can almost feel your touch
It's killing me
And I want it
Sleepwalker miss you most
I can almost see your ghost
Scaring me and I'm haunted

You left me nothing but a broken soul
An empty hole, memories bleeding

Welcome to the state of emergency
Telepathic pace stresses urgency
I use your head to make you feel intruded
Now no one's useful, and you're polluted

What did you think when you entered?
How did you feel?
What did you think when you entered?
How did you feel?

Ignore the signs around you
So you don't have to leave
There's always room inside this State of Emergency

Supreme lifestyle
The one I used to hate
The one I used to drive away
My dream stay awhile
I can't concentrate
I pray you never relate
I see your wicked smile
Haunt me all night long
For that I'll dance
And sing this song

And when we dance it's a tragic delight
A tragic delight, oh you said it
And when we're lost it's amazing to find
Our way back to life, Oh you said it
Oh you said it

I've spilling all my guts for this
And every time I miss
I swear it's maddening
I can't feel beyond my fingertips
Under my feet I trip
but am I stopping?

Please save me
From this relationship
Let me have just what I feel is mine
Lay down
Under the bluest sky
I wanna feel the sun until I'm blind

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So when it comes to you
I'm at a still-stand
