when I trip sometimes I think I'm gonna fall all the way,
and on my way down my sound won't carry very far,
and I'll get lost down there and I won't know where you are,
and I'll get up to start round two, and I won't know what to do,
and I'll screw up and start it all again.
when will I be on the ground again.
with both my feet on the ground again.
I'm so tired of what I see,
dark clouds of adversity hangin' over me,
life's too hard to live by myself,
I want to do it with some one else,
and while people fail me left and right
you never seem to lose sight in me
when I fall,
you pick me up and dust me off and send me on my way
I've made more mistakes then I'd really like to say,
sometimes I just wish I could start another day,
then just maybe things would finally go my way
and God knows I haven't done everything I said I would
and I haven't done things as well as I should.
I'm so tired of what I see,
dark clouds of adversity hangin' over me,
life's too hard to live by myself
and I want to do it with some one else,
and while people fail me left and right
you never seem to lose sight in me
when I fall,
you pick me up and dust me off and send me on my way.
it always comes around back to you,
I can't understand it, you know I've tried to walk away,
there's just something about you that makes me want to stay,
maybe it's cause I can smell your purfume when you're not there,
or cause I can feel my hands running through your hair,
maybe it's cause I can see you when I close my eyes,
but the fact your always on my mind comes as no surprise
I try to keep myself as busy as I can,
so I don't have to think about you and your new man,
but things aren't done as easy as their said,
and I can't sleep at night with you in my head,
it doesn't matter what I do,
it goes full circle and comes right back to you
sometimes I wish I could forget you
cause it's too hard to live without you
you know I loved you and I'll miss seein' your face,
and the smell your hair leaves on the pillow case,
but the time has come for movin' on
I don't want to keep myself as busy as I can,
I'm done thinking about you and your new man,
but things aren't done as easy as their said,
and I can't sleep at night with you in my head,
it doesn't matter what I do,
it goes full circle and comes right back to you
No one ever said that life would be easy,
so don't come lookin' for sympathy from me,
so life is hard, everybody's been there,
but giving up doesn't work,
convince yourself that this is for the best
and no one will get hurt
runaway
the life that your leavin' is what dreams are made of,
a picture of love,
you want to go and find yourself,
but are you willing to throw it all away,
I just can't believe you're not gonna stay.
runaway
What makes a man is what he has
and what he does with it all,
I just wish you knew what you were doing
before you had to fall
do you even realize what you have
and what your leaving?
Runaway....
it's sometime around three at night
I wrote this down but it won't come out right
I'm so frustrated
words I don't know how to say
feelings I can't seem to play
I need to get this out of my head
Outside my window, stars slide by
with or without you makes me cry
and over my shoulder, so peaceful in your frame,
slowly drivin' me insane.
clock says five, I'm still awake
I've had about all I can take
the sun is rising
I hear birds begin to sing,
I hear the city awakening
but nothing's changing in my room
Outside my window, time slides by
barcelona makes me cry
and over my shoulder, so peaceful in your frame
slowly drivin me insane
silence surrounds me,
someone say something,
I can't spend another day
and outside my window, the sun slides by
this ruined puzzle makes me cry
and over my shoulder so peaceful in your frame
slowly drivin' me insane
don't quite understand what I'm doin' here
everything is so clear
still I can't seem to cross that line,
everytime I try to walk away
I think of something else to say and convince myself
just one more time
but I've got to
Let it go, before it destroys me, before I grow old,
and I know before the sunshine comes the cold
sometimes it's hard for me to understand
why you left me for another man
but I suppose it's just as well
in this case what's best for you is best for me
and I have the things I really need,
there's no reason for me to dwell
so I'm gonna
Let it go, before it destroys me, before I grow old
and I know before the sunshine comes the cold
my hands are free to seardc the world
for someone right for me,
and open dorrs I thought were closed to me
and jump into life's mysteries
can't wait to see, what I will be
now I'm on my own though it's unknown
it's always shown to be good to me
and I'm not afraid
I'm not in the place I was before
wanted to give up, not anymore
there's just too much waiting straight ahead
life goes on and I'm going with it
don't wnat to feel like I missed it
lookin' back with stupid baggage messin' with my head
Here I go spinning, I don't know up from down,
constantly in motion, round the pole to which I'm bound,
but I know I'm not gonna stop,
no control, the brakes are shot, gears keep turnin'
and it just goes on and on...and over and over
If you could see what's inside of me, the scene may be scary but we all could use some company,
yet I'll be here beside me in the absense of anyone.
in a crowded roon and our eyes meet, should I go over or
are ya lookin' behind me, is there something in my teeth?
is my fly open? should I talk in an achent?
parlez-vous francais dear ?
...and here I go again
some say I'm too self critical,
I think too much I'm too analytical ,
to live in my head you might think I'm pitiful,
if thoughts were pups then I'd be a litterful,
I'm headed for an epiphony,
feels like I'm siften through this liteny
of mental noise it sounds like a symphony,
fillin' up my head constantly playin on and on
and over and over
If you could see what's inside of me, the scene my be scary
but we all could use some compay,
yet I'll be here beside me in the absense of anyone
thirsty in a park bent over a fountain, will it be cold?
is there lead in the water? is there someone behind me? amd I takin' too long, is my underwear showing?
there's a plane in the sky, might be a skywritter
will you marry me dear?
...and here I go again.
