Hang-Ups lyrics

Went out today
to try and phone you
I guess you didn't
recognize my call
the lady on your end
said you got caller I.D.
but I'm feeling sorry
that you've been
woken up so much
and I'm feeling guilty
just talk to me
please talk to me

I hardly know you
is it too late to even try
I want to know you
another twenty cent goodbye

I found a pay phone
and it's busted
another broken hearted fool

So you're just barely getting by
not hurting no one
Sometimes you think that you're alright
sometimes you have fun
But on the way someone confronts you
and tries to shut you up
You're having trouble at your home
you want to get out
But you've got nowhere else to go
You gotta get out

But on the way someone confronts you and
tries to tell you that

You're going nowhere with your life!
whoa

Well after today I'll never see you
and you'll be left with your life
Collecting all your souvenirs
I'll never get it right

Empty man hollow man
I call myself a hermit
My self esteem contingent on
the way you look at me

I'm hanging on your words
yeah I'm reading
all your thoughts
If only I could be you now
cause you got the control

Empty man lonely man
I call myself depressed

You taught me how to play guitar
You told me that I'd go
far just by trying
yea just by trying
When we were kids
playing Social D
spiritual man on LSD
We were frying
yea we were frying

Once in a while you'd fuck with me
no ground on my bass and it shocked me

Chris Cayton I called you satan
Cuz when we were skating
You would make the metal sign

You got kicked out of school for wearing profanity

My little story's growing way too long
I've had to suffer enough to write this song
And if i get the chance I'll tell you how it feels
'Cause in this sick old head the pain is way to real

So I fall down

I don't know if I can make it up this time
I know i want to but it gets harder every time
And if it's easier to give up everything
I'd give it all to you to relieve half this pain

I run away cause I'm
scared that you might leave
there's nothing wrong
but that's not what I believe
and tell me it's alright
and tell me I'm okay
and tell me that you're staying,
staying here tonight

I feel stupid saying
words you've heard before
the way I feel today
is all I know for sure
and if I scare you
I'm only scaring me
I've got so much to say
why won't you speak with me
I need to know

If only I was taller
If I had a million dollars
maybe then you'd be with me

If only I was eighteen
and had the courage
of the A-Team
maybe then you'd be with me

[Chorus]
But for now I'll have to dream
about your smile 'cause you're not
here and all I want to say is
that I really miss you

If I could surf a little better
If I had Sumner's sweater
maybe then you'd be with me

It isnt just me
That wants to be here by your side.
And I know
It isnt just me
That wants to be next to your side.
And I know
I only want to hold you.
Is that asking way to much?
I only want to feel you...

Youre so far away,
I guess Ill believe that you care.
And I think
The things that you said
Keep running around in my head.
And I know
I only want to trust you.
Youve lied to me before.

Where are you now
I want to talk to you
I'm sitting here alone
waiting by the phone

Where are you now
I want to talk to you
if only you were home
I wouldn't be alone
I wait for you

Where are you now
are you just toying with me
do you need me to play
all your high school games

Where are you now
I guess I'll try once more
I don't have much to say
but it's the tenth call that I made

You got some question about your life
You don't know how you'll ever make it through
It hurts so bad but it's all you got
You're asking me for help
but all I got to say now is that
You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
so just stop your whining
you don't know what pain is

Stop complaining point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame

So pack your bags
we're going out

Theres something bout the cold wind blowin across ayour face
Its not the kill its the thrill of the chase
Its like being in bed with the girl of your dreams
Or eatin a pint of Ben and Jerrys ice cream

Well you can kick me in the D with your skate or your boot
Well thats cool, when your heads are loose
This is something that I will always cherish
Skaters hate the fact that Skiers Must Perish!

pick it up pick it up pick it up pick it up!!!!!!!!

So here I am
Doin' everything I can
Holdin' on to what I am
Pretendin' I'm a superman

I'm tryin' to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world is fallin' down around me
The nights are long
I'm singin' this song
To try and make the answers more than maybe

And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

Living life and freedom
wondering if my love
could be as one
and if that you could
possibly love me
thinking life
and living life
are two very different things
the first one being harder
than the last

Tonight's the last time
that I ever show you me

Thinking all these days are gone
and dreaming of my time with you
just makes me wish
that I was with you now

Then again we've got today

You come around to see your boyfriend
You come around to feel the pain
It was yesterday he tried to use you
But you still go through it

Again you took it away
Again you let yourself stay

'Cause I've been around
This lonely place
Lonely place before

I've been around
This lonely place
Lonely place before

You find out he's been lying to you
You find he had another girl

The young boy has
turned into a man
and he's growing stronger
he's battled through things
he thought he could
go on no longer
father stood by his side
wanting nothing more
than just be his dad
but pride only answers
to one call
he only condemns him

and if the boy only knew
the father's pain
the nights that he
stayed up late
wondered why
doesn't he see the future
is so bleak so bleak
