Phantom Planet Live lyrics

Oh yeah it started today in a cloud If I was the sun I would shout
I've got so much shining left before I'm out
Yeah it began with a spark then a flame grew into a fire and spread out again
And I just woke up here surrounded by the whole thing

Well, we have got to get out of here
In our darkest hour
When we may not make it

I can't see a thing through the smoke and if I could breathe

I could tell from the minute I woke up
It was going to be a lonely lonely
lonely lonely day.
Rise and shine rub the sleep out of my eyes
And try to tell myself I can't
go back to bed
It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day.
Even though the sun is shining down on me and I should feel about as happy as can be
I just got here and I already want to leave

Hell, haven't you thought you were coming

Madness left to discover
It's so bad

Cos we're all gone way from home

Chorus:

When the lights go out

Our shadows sing in silence

Don't don't close your eyes for an instant

When it's all gone you might miss it

Goes so fast

It'll all be over soon

Chorus

Everything is ok everything is fine
I give you everything you ask for don't be so unkind
Well every time you're mad about every little thing
But it's too soon to pull out or pull out that wedding ring
I'm so ready I'm not ready
This little boy is running right back home
I guess it's nobody's fault now but my own
Never had the patience never had the time

We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Watching everybody leaving,

I tell myself, "Looks can be deceiving."

Oh, I'm hoping that I'm not dead right
This after hours, afterlife

I'm not ready to die in style tonight.

Tried to follow you out,

But I did not know where you'd be leading on,

And you might think people don't live through being dead wrong.

Isn't there enough to talk about?

I don't want what else is running out your mouth

Chewing my ears from my head

Will not keep me interested

I wanna put you on someone else

I wanna leave you all by yourself

If I look like I'm involved

Well, I ain't listening at all

You never listen to a single thing I say

How in the hell did I get into this mess anyway?

Oh yeah, I was

So you've been trying to get ahead

But coming out empty handed

Losing all the friends you made instead

You pushed your way up to the top

You got so tall you had to stop

Did you squint to see who you were stepping on?

It's your secret to success

That's causing such a mess

And to be honest

Forgetting all of us

Now that is just bad business

There's nothing for me here

I'm starting to get old

Time just ticks on

We've all been taking some comfort in repetition
And I'm left with no way to scratch

What has been itching and I'm

I'm ready and waiting

For the happy ending

Now the days go by

They pass right through us

Our night lives make us so useless

Now don't take anything to heart

We don't care

Your crash is waiting to happen,
And you you're dragging me down,
All over again,
I give in,
I give up,
You splashed but you started sinking,
And you you're dragging me down,
All over again,
I give up,
I give in,
I give up,
You are crowding me in,
I wanna get out,
This is the end, all over again,
You're crowding me in,
I just wanna get out,
This is the end, all over again...

Everybody in this place can up and move away
For all I care this towns already dead and empty
Im told that Im the victim of obsession thats what my friends say
Oh Im a fool for having ever let her tempt me

-Chorus-
Well I turn pale when she walks by
I am lost in her eyes
She is always on my mind x2

She glances over but she keeps on walking down that street

I woke up today a song was swimming in my head
And I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed
And on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me
That a song like this just might go down in history
I quickly ran back to get my guitar
A pen and some paper

'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem

We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California (California...) here we come
On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothings gonna stop me now
California here we come

Well let me tell you I have seen a monster age of seventeen
Who'll let you in to kick you out and knows what love is "all about"

Hey now girl I see you walking by
And long ago you used to stop and talk now you just wink your eye
and I'm surprised you look all grown up
A champagne glass next to a paper cup
I stopped you just to say it
Hey now girl

Oh yeah it started today in a cloud
if I was the sun I would shout
I've got so much shining left before I'm out
It began with a spark then a flame
grew into a fire and spread out again
And I just woke up there surrounded by the whole thing
And we have got to get out of here
In our darkest hour
We may not make it
I can't see a thing through the smoke

I could tell, from the minute I woke up
it was gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day
Rise and shine, rub the sleep out of my eyes
and try to tell myself I can't go back to bed
It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Even though the sun is shining down on me
and I should feel about as happy as can be
I just got here, and I already want to leave

Everything is okay, everything is fine
I give you everything you ask for don't be so unkind
Every time you're mad 'bout every little thing
It's too soon to pull out or pull out that wedding ring.

I'm so ready I'm not ready
This little boy is running right back home
I guess it's nobody's fault now but my own

Never had the patience, never had the time

Goodness sometimes things get bad
But I swear
I'm doing all I can
So try all you want to
I'm gonna try too

If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy again
I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy and then...

Things don't go as I planned
But I swear I'm doing all I can
So try all you want to
I'm gonna try too

Burn me down if that's how everything's gonna start
With the flames from the heat off the look on your face
On a day like today could have made out every
Raindrop falling down on you head

Now I fear that I may taste these tears rolling down my face
And realize something is wrong
With the light of the sun and the color of the sky
With you and everyone

Here they come the business men
Like a herd of cattle rumbling in
The exchange has officially begun
Now all the offices are buzzing
The executives are busy bee's
The watch it keeps turning in the employee's

And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat

There's a crowd for men on Wall Street
Near the tallest building on the block

It cursed us all on our way home
We passed the sights like passing stones
And I will never go back there again
The tourists and the army men
The prostitutes this evening
Will start to sink under my skin
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
A wish as far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well
He is the shrieks I am the fear

I came home as someone else

Must have wished it on myself

When I got

Lost in thought while

We were out

Hours have passed and I have seen

The terror I am stuck between

Who I've been

And who I'm thinking

I could be

I was listening to a battle begin

Wondering which side would win

Did you say

Something? I'm

Sorry I

Apologize

I can tell

You should get your story straight before I start to doubt it
Cuz if you've worn your lipstick off, I want to hear about it

And telling me would be such a breeze, tell me if you want to leave

I think I'm getting the drift
You want some time with your friends
On the nights and weekends
You take the time for yourself
Both of us used to spend

Before you make it better

Hold on

Hold out

Your day's full

Ok, that's fine

I don't mind
The meantime

You've got your things to do

Places you

Have to go

So and so

I don't mind the meantime

If I could count

From then til now

I'd count too high

I can't help but think about the meantime

Saving time

Spending it poorly

I've been pretty foolish in

The meantime

Upon the hour of your arrival

I will draw the line

You take your side of the city

Don't set foot on mine

You told me when we met

I told you when we left

That we're through

We're through

So I thought

You knew

You disappeared

Now you're not welcome here

Across the park we used to walk through

Keep that for yourself

Well the next that heard

You wouldn't have me

Cut your losses

Cut your ties

Start a new life

These things they can tie you up, weigh you down
Wear you in then wear you out

One day you could find yourself suddenly

Underneath a guillotine

You'll have to answer up for

What you want and what that means

That's the difference between

Breaking the bank and

Just breaking even

Making a living and

Her eyes were closed when I caught her in bed

Oh, she seemed much happier then

I sat by her side and I couldn't help but cry

I was here for a reason and I
Finally understood and my oh my

Could only ask myself why oh why

Can't we talk this through and make things right?

Oh, I'd sure as hell like to try

Right about this time she opened her eyes

And asked how long I had been there

It was all his fault, introduced me to knowitall and the (cannibal)

By the time they started showing up, I ran the risk of blowing up

These times, these times get tough

So if i stay we're going to see who's had enough
By the time i needed backing up, ya he was watching, cracking up

This time, this time it's tough

So here I am and now and I think I've had enough

Stand back
