Well it was almost nighttime so we stayed inside
We closed our eyes
I whispered a thought I had
And you let on about the bitter cold,
I brought out a smile to warm you up
We slept while holding hands, I couldn't sleep in the cold
You said just being near you and that smile is enough
You have the most wonderful sense of feeling right
A wonderful sense of being here tonight

If every limb were broken,
tires had all worn thin
and my toes are all in pieces.
Do you know
what I would do?
I would play can you drag yourself
2

You aren't the kind of person that I couldn't fall in love with,
rather you are the kind of person that I could.
And I'd like to spend an afternoon of laughing at ourselves,
and hear all the wonderful things you might tell me.
I'd watch your eyes gleam during that time of day
when you can't really tell if it's day or night.

Its been so long since I had a smile
I've stayed sad for such a long while
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you

You kiss me now and I turn away
I think I'm still kissing yesterday
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you

So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy

I wanna move the town to the Clash City Rockers
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
you better leave town if you only wanna knock us
nothing stands the pressure of the Clash City Rockers
you see the rate they come down the escalator
now listen to the tube train accelerator
then you realize that you got to have a purpose
or this place is gonna knock you out sooner or later

Playing shows and writing songs could've been much more than
you can get out of sitting around and being unproductive.
There's a lot more than being like the other kids.
At least I have something to do with myself.
Did you ever notice how sometimes you take for granted what you need,
like having friends and good times and never losing touch?

I remember the time
When everything was all different
We didn't really know each other then
I didn't know how much you made me so
I guess it was all pretend when
You decided you're those all are different things.
I don't think that it was all that bad.
Especially that time in Princeton was nice.
Then we pretend to be so close
Now we wait
Try not to be not so different

We all collected in a room, you were there
Your shirt was red, we got scared when everything stopped
I yelled at you for being so mean to me
Off my head nothing sounds right
I'm mixed up and somewhat dead
I took it all so well
I'm so proud and I'm so quiet and I'm so in love
I cornered you outside, no walls
And I'm so in love,
Just a little better

There's a beautiful sky tonight
And if you were by my side then we could share this but you are gone.
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
Cause nothing matters anymore.

If I could only see you now
For about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What hes got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?

I know blue eyes get boring

I guess the only reality is the one you seem to believe in.
Well I'm walking out, this is the last time, I feel like shit.
This isn't the way to treat old friends...
Let's go again
Set me up
Watch me stand on top of my old house
Watch me spinning and watch me seeing the melon sky
Oh, look it's so beautiful tonight
But I was feeling so sweet
I could barely breathe so deep

Leif and I are on the train to new york
In car 1399.
There's a guy with a quarter in his ear,
And I've seen Leif only once in the past 2 months

His hair is stickin' up a little in the front
Yeah, he's losin' it just a bit
When I get home tonight, I'll miss him
In Hampshire, yeah

His glasses,
The way he writes in purple pen,
The way his collar falls to the left.

And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this
Gonna peel back my skin
And look at myself shaking and shivering
and I'll get the rope from in the house
Survey the scene,
Finding two of the tallest trees
and I'll tie myself up,
above the cool earth
to dangle in the twilight
oo-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this
Gonna peel back my skin,
And look at myself shaking and shivering

Why is it everything's all loneliness with me?
I guess sometimes I try too hard,
and sometimes you cause it,
but it always carries on and on.
"What did you ever become?" you asked.
I said, "I was told to be smiles and bright eyed happiness,
but sometimes I can't find anything to laugh at."
"I don't want to be here." you said.
It seems like I almost always have that effect on everyone.
