Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me

Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to

He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see

I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So I'll just lay me down

Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around

Do you really want to play these games
Just to keep things going
Or are you ready now to let it be
It's like sometimes you want to see the rain
But the sun gets in your eyes
And you want to die now

Control has left me

You put a rose in my hand
Put a dollar in my pocket
But you don't understand
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
I see the morning but you won't see the light

I thought about you for a long, long time
I wrote about you but my words don't seem to rhyme
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you

Had a dream about you
You sat right down beside me

It's so hard to breathe right now
Living things without a friend of mine
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind
You thought you could feel

And it's maybe 6 a.m.
And no one wants to be with me
So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well
Ohh, I'm free

If I can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day

I fall in she sees me and smiles
Then she starts to hate herself again
She screams something under her breath
That I wouldn't know if she said it outloud

She turns over to start a conversation
With a man that noone else can see
She dreams of loving me sometimes
And it makes me see what we've been missing

It's like I never knew anyone so strong before
She Brings the man outa me

Eyes like an infant
Staring me down
She'll take anything that's tied up
In my glorious past

It's just 4 days 'til Sunday
When I say that I'm gone
Little one screams you cry
Tell the pain to leave me alone

It's just 2 days 'til Monday
Another week 'til the 4th
Is anyone listening or
Should I call on the Lord

Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see

Saw you last night
you were sleeping in my mind
Doubting you'll ever be free again
Then I climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go"
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain
I think I better grow up now or go insane

One thing's for sure
I just can't find the way
To let it seem like all is wrong
Inside my den

Hold back
Breathe easy
She said to me
Go somewhere and change your mind
Just let me sleep

I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen

Is it anger at life
Or are you happy to be with me
Are you seeing someone

Or will your faith
Go with no other man
Come on

Could we do it again
If he asked how it felt
And I didn't say this time
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
That means not a thing
'Cause I'm down behind you
Could we swing it again
If I changed how he looked
And turned to the right to bend
You live with something that I can't explain
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining

You feel things in your own way

Fly inside
Feel me dealing
Holding on to a story just told
About a man who's the life of a funeral
Grabbing on to a woman who's soul
He just stole for a dream he don't believe in
Now she sits and she yells for a smile
"Don't let the sun make me feel lonely"
Oh let me in let me in let me in

Is it me
Or is it honey

We all seem to hold
To Something we don't see
Is He here

Another reason to doubt me
Another teardrop falls
Can't wait for a friend when loneliness calls
Another kiss in the basement
Pour salt on my tongue
No one cries for heros left unsung

Look at me when I'm talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why

Another tasteless movie
Another kiss goodnight
Could be a dark oasis in my life

Well an old man said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where you going young man
Said I'm going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said "The sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize"
If you try to stare her down
She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them

Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die

I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one

(She) wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
I'll just make it out

(We don't see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(Something no ones needing)

I left the other day
But you're never here
