what became of everyone i used to know
where did our respectable convictions go
your words dont' match teh story that your actions show, but what do i know
i'm sure you cn't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be one not to forget,
but remembering's not helping you yet.
say goodnight means goodbye.
i know you thought my life would stop with you away
maybe I can see you on the holidays,

you really think you're bigger than this
to the tune of ten thousand lisps
who would have thought we'd represent
when i can't take a compliment
overexposure is the key and any focus on me is appreciated
as it should be
no wonder now
i finally found the right formula for...
you taught me how
i play the fool
every mistake that i make
i couldn't have made without you

it's words you forget to anniversary songs
the bottles bite back
your tolerance wrong
your good intentions count for little anymore
if you're sorry why wage war
i'm not fully convinced that there's something wrong with this
could anotehr point of view, baised and untrue, tear me away from you
will you be my valentine if i'm a world away
apologies are breaking me

you're got some nerve
i never knew what with the world we gave
away in front of you
i see it all much clearer now
you're just a phase
i've gotten over anyhow
it's over
i'm not giving in again
we're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others
i trusted misleading promises worth repeating
how could you do this to me
red letter day that i learn i'm sure you get what you deserve

long way from home,
lost by an echo, i'd never of known
i've got pictures to prove i was there,
but you don't care
here's me overseas, across a pond by the Dover peaks
i've smuggled myself into new nationalities, you think yo'd be proud of me
there's room to believe, out of sight, out of mind, out of reach
start over is no way to begin

ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
when my friends all say i'm crazy,
maybe i'm being selfish
maybe i'm just scared
don't be gone when i get home... i need you there
if i had to explain it i wouldn't know were to start
it's like you're falling in love, while i just fall apart
ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far

i watched it all come crashing down on teh verge of a world profound
standing on unstable ground adding insult to irony
i think it's really gonna happen this time,
all out calls are on the company dime
reluctance ties up the line with irresponsibility
no matter save for a friend no argumentt can amend
irreplaceable but in the end,
one star player doesn't save the team
now you're open to attack,

you'll be accepting my apology for taking things too seriously
sometimes i'm old enough to to keep routines,
sometimes i'm child enough to scream for
everything i broke in two
you're barely missing me, i'm missing you and everything you do
i really do
my once photographic memory for recollection's sake is failing me
i can't remember tor the life of me

come tomorrow i'll be on my way back home
in the morning call from a roadside telephone
one night doesn't mean the reast of my life
if i go it's not impossible but possible is probably wrong
so, let go because i'm afraid to try
i'll keep myhands by my side
i won't come back
i hope someday you'll understand i want to try
and make it right but dont' know if i can

every attempt to... is filled with holes
it reads like a plygraph i'm told
i'[m not bitter anyway
let it go
i never sleep still lest i forget
tied down by handicaps instead
i'm not bitter anyway, but i didn't want it to turn out this way
sing a long goodnight, forgeit any fight
refuse to rest assured
it comes with no reply
hold on too tight
i hang on every word

summer swallowed us whole;
we waited for you to come around
every word you wrote down,
we read it over to know... would tehy believe is us now
ther's no shame like no sound from souces hits colse to home
everything that we've found says make your own destiny
but youi're unaware taht you shuld be scared
maybe you'll learn from mistake that we make
we're not waiting forever

can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time
an unspokenbalance here,
unabridged for so many years
that i sould stare atreceivers to receive her isn't fair
don't worry i'll catch you
don't ever worry
your arms in mine, anytime
i wouldn't trade anything
you're still my everything
to my surprise, before my eyes, you arrive
i'm still breaking old hapits when you pulled the wool over me
