Walking Off the Buzz lyrics

See the outline of the frames
Of where the pictures used to be
Closets full of clothes are empty
Now this mess belongs to me
Leaving me room for all the baggage
I've been keeping locked inside
I said I'd get over her, but I lied....
Yesterday, she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day, I was doin' fine
But yesterday was the last day of my life

I don't know what I was thinking when I seen her
I just had to find a way I could meet her
Cause I've been dying for the chance just to treat her
Like the ripe little peach she is
Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her
But she could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her
I don't know her but I know that I need her
And I don't think she's got a notion but

She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money
And that's real good because I don't got alot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'

She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside
Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye
So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again

Was conceived outta nuthin'
Always be what I've been
If I focus the real world
One day I might tune it in
Do I have to shout, Do I have to wave a gun
hide my head from the sun screamin' someone anyone
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Tell me why why if you bleed, I'm the one that's gotta bleed
Got me fiendin' for the need to say hey look at me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

As I lie awake in the other room
I could probably stay awake til noon time
So frustrating knowing what could be
What's even worse is she used to belong to me
As I toss and turn there's nothing I can do
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh, no If she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself maybe she might need

She lies in bed out of her head sucking a cigarette
Closing her eyes she really tries to make believe she's dead
But she's not
She's not
In the next tomb her old man's room it's another night
He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light
Yea it's on
But he's gone

We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are

I started to write you a letter the other day
Didn't know exactly what I was going to say
And at the last minute I threw it all away
Cause I didn't think you1d read it anyway
And I'm the kind of man who1s glass is half full
But I'm a bit torn from the strings you pulled
And since I already felt a bit abused
I thought to myself
What have I got to lose
Cause I can't fall much further down

I know you're heard the excuses before
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short
I've bound my emotions 'cause I can't afford to be wrong
I know we've talked about being good friends
So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent
But all of your glances they came and the went to my head
And I'm not a man to throuw words to the wind

Amy woulda died for me
She would've had my baby
If I needed a favor
It was yes, she never said maybe
And all the time that we walked barefoot in the sand
Somehow we never felt the rain
Now I got nothin but time
Nothing but mine
I could walk off the hurt
Run through the pain
Wipe all the tears pouring down my face
Deny the dream, that just never was
Oh girl

You came all this way to see me
There must be something I should know
Did you come here just to leave me
Cause I don't wanna let you go
I know you need more from me
Than I can give so now we'll see
If we can get along as real good friends
There's no need to say goodbye
We maybe better off a real good friends
To keep this love alive
Too much time and distance
Is what we were up against
