Box Car Racer lyrics

Sometimes
I wish I was brave
I wish I was stronger
I wish I could feel no pain
I wish I was young
I wish I was shy
I wish I was honest
I wish I was you not I

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callused
So lost, confused, again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

Sometimes
I wish I was smart
I wish I made cures for
How people are
I wish I had power

[Tom]
I left my fear behind me,
Of those lights out by the station,
The government is lying,
The youth they won't believe them,

[Chorus]
We can't go
Wrong can't get
Fucked this time
Speak up now
Lose or get
Left behind

[Tom]
When will this be over,
This cold and bitter season,
The government is lying,
The truth is found with reason,

[Chorus x3]
We can't go
Wrong can't get
Fucked this time

i watched the smoke, as it grew darker and blew up through the ruff
i watched the fed, saw them panic, as the fire grew
i saw virginia, get rid of langley, and its secrets too
i held your hand, and sat there knowing, that we would make it through

i saw this man dispose of hunger and soap operas too
i saw this field, that grew perfection fall of things you do

i've been all pinched up since saturday
i've run my self dry of excellence
16 long years in-hale the bullshit in
whatever i said on saturday
whatever i did i'll do it all again
19 marks up walls
each year one short fall of

tiny voices, make things harder
everybody will be let down
everybody will be let down

what is this for ex-parking lot
the dreamers go buy they never stop

I fell down again
But I can't complain
Another false step
Could drive me insane
All I got myself here to blame
So I shake off the seat and I start again
Oh no I said
I want to go back
But I can't win the shit
And I'm gonna stay on track yeah
Make a deal like that
I keep my head up
But I never react

I wrote it down a list a month ago
16 chapters of one thing you've blown

i am lost in the crowd
i'm standing in line
i'm feeling so down
and i am full of doubt
she's not the one that noticed
hear me out

and i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through

i'm tired
this games so dumb
she never played, her races won
i'm tired
can't smile no more
i've sure caved in just like before

and i want her, need her
and you always will pull me through

caught off guard
all worked up
the air is as dark and cold as night
let me go
i'm not done
i swear i'll take this one lifetime and i

i won't lie
i won't sin
maybe i don't wanna go
can't you wait
maybe i don't wanna go

i should've asked
i could've helped
at least a fucking 1,000 times before
will this offer get me in
or does it prove that they gave more and i

i won't lie
i won't sin

it's 24 to nothing and i'm at the intersection,
waiting for the light that's green,
waiting for a reason,
take them all and stack them up,
not in my collection,
hit them all and watch them fly
fuck them all and watch them drown,
what is with these bands that keep commin' with there politics,
they never went to school to find out that they were full of shit,
i didn't really either,

because i need you more than you need me
because i want you more i know

because we move too fucking fast
i think i really had to wish to make this last i know

i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you would

because i cared way more
because i really felt that you felt so much more i know

i'm sorry please forgive me, believe me if you would

this vacation's useless
these white pills aren't kind
i've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
i missed the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
and slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
i've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
the days have come and gone
our lives when but so fast
i faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor

our days are running thin
our hopes will start to fall
i can feel the world collapse around me from within
and the letters keep coming by to let us know when time will die
and please god will you forgive us and give us one more try

if you will then we'll go as fast as we go far
maybe well be forgotten when the world is torn apart

i've been up all night long
counting days that all went wrong

[Tom]
The building turned it's back ignored my call,
The concrete looks too thin to break my fall,
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene,
I counted people as I neared the street below,
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa

[Mark]
I saw it all I saw it all go down,
The shadow grew as he approached the ground,
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene,
