I woke up in a dream today
Where the finest lines were washed away
And the most obvious lies were all you'd say to me.
But then I saw this was the truth
It was no dream, I'm sure you'll prove
That this is all that you could ever be.
If you want to make a scene
Run through your town and scream
Your voice away.
So take your words and go
And find someone who cares enough to know.
You can walk away and turn your shoulder
But you'll find that it's already over.
You can turn the corner oh so sharp
Just to find that nothing's missing from your heart.
You finally believe in me.
But you walk away?
Well, at least you believe in me.
And now you're leaving come the morning
No one really knows
Where you plan to go.
I think you did that on purpose
So nobody would find
Where you go to hide.
When things get tough you pack the suitcase
And head straight for the door
You just can't take it anymore.
And search your purse for your passport
Another place to see
Another home to leave.
And in a year I'm sure
You will, you will
See the entire world.
And when your passport is full
You will, you will
You'll keep running, I know, you will.
If it would help I'd say I'm sorry
But I don't really know
What I did to make you go.
But you don't want to talk about it
It's easier to forget
Than it is to regret.
Maybe it's a game where I should chase you
But that can't be the case
You left without a trace.
And in a year I'm sure
You will, you will
See the entire world.
And when your passport is full
You will, you will
You'll keep running, I know, you will.
And now I'm laying on the carpet
Wondering where you went
After all the time we spent.
If you want to leave that's up to you
But I could take you places that your passport never knew.
I found this place that hangs over the edge
And sings to everyone below.
From where I sit I can see you now
From a view you'd never know.
Make your demands
I'll see that they're met,
But not right away.
When you want
Take your time
I'll get to it some day.
This locket around my neck
Let's me see you, and won't let me forget
But it's choking me.
It won't let me breathe.
But somehow
I'm hanging on for now.
I met this man who stands up on his roof
And watches people as they go by.
And as he sees them lead their lives
He can't help but start to cry.
Think what you will
Make your judgments and say how it's sad.
But when you see the life he's led
You'll feel worse with all you've had.
This locket around my neck
Let's me see you, and won't let me forget
But it's choking me.
It won't let me breathe.
But somehow
I'm hanging on for now.
Catchy Lines Make the Best Lies
It's finally raining now
Yeah, I can see the clouds
Hanging over my head.
The torn up sky outside
Finally starts to cry
And makes the life to which I'm wed.
But we're not prepared to go down like this
We are the finest tools of this abandoned ship.
Still, we're not prepared to go down like this
We are the catchy lines of your unwritten script.
It's finally raining now
Yeah, I can see the clouds
That litter up the sky.
And it's been long enough
That we have put this up
Yeah, it's about damn time.
Finally, we're safe.
They're gonna get us.
No, man, I said we're safe.
Yeah, that's fine for now, dude. But they'll find us.
But...but....we can't go down. Not like this.
We're the finest tools. And the catchy lines.
Need I say more?
Ah, finally we're safe.
This is a story I've told before
Laying in the sand of a shipwrecked shore
Where the water can just reach my feet
To pull me into the darkened sea.
It's all over, it's come and gone.
But still you find a way to prove me wrong.
It's all over you've come and gone.
Just leave me alone to sing my songs.
You fly over mountains and call my name.
You bury your footsteps into my veins.
I cry. I lie to you. Just to live again.
These are the words I've written down
That make up the sea in which I've drowned:
A flooded page that is soaking wet
With today's mistakes and tomorrow's regret.
It's all over, it's come and gone.
But still you find a way to prove me wrong.
It's all over you've come and gone.
Just leave me alone to sing my songs.
I want to live again. I want to live again. I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN.
You say it's only worth what you can make yourself.
But it's all gone.
You say it's only worth what I put into myself.
But you are wrong.
And I tried, yeah, I tried.
But you lied.
I don't know what to say
'Cause it was never really that good anyway.
And I tried, yeah, I tried.
But you don't care anymore.
I don't know if I even care anymore.
