Finger Eleven - Them Vs. You Vs. Me (2008) by Finger Eleven (보컬) on maniadb.com

I hold on so nervously, to me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far has not been good
It's been shitty, and I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be the most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well, I am imagining a dark lit place
Or your place, or my place

Well I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

I hold out for one more drink, before I think
I'm looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home, if one thing really means one
This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well, I'm still imagining a dark lit place
Or your place, or my place

Well I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

Well I'm not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

Not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

You'll probably move right through me on my way to you
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

When you feel so close to some resolve
And you write the words you were writing for
But your courage gets dissolved
Into what, I don't know...

When you feel that way again
You have to stop your thinking
And think of what you're here for
And let the rest of your feelings go

You've got to find your balance
You've got to realize
You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes
And if you find you've fallen
And all your grace is gone
Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on

When you feel so close to some resolve
And you say the things that you're standing for
Don't let your courage get dissolved
Cause it's then that the fear grows

You've got to find your balance
You've got to realize
You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes
And if you find you've fallen
And all your grace is gone
Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on

Just give me the word and I'll be there
Just tell me the words that I've been living for
Just tell me the things that I've been fighting for
It's do or die, this is either or
Just give me the word and I will be there
Just give me the word and I will be there

You've got to find your balance
You have to realize
You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes
And if you find you're fallin'
And all your grace is gone
Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on

You've got to find your balance
You've got to realize
You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes
And if you find you're fallin'
And all your grace is gone
Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on

This won't break your heart
But I just think it could
Cause I haven't tried as hard as I should
To separate you from everything I do
But I would never want to come between us two

I'll keep your memory vague
So you won't feel bad about me
I'll say the things that you said
Sometimes so it reminds me

Now I'm thinking back
To what I said before
I hope your heart won't have to hurt anymore
Cause it's really not that sad from here
Because the moments I can feel you near
They keep you close to me my dear
And if they ever become too clear...

Now you've gone away
Don't worry it's ok
That you're gone away
Further than yesterday
But you'll never leave these scenes
My mind replays

Where in the world have you gone now?

I'm bound to wander where
All of your glitter's going
But I'm so far from knowing
And none of my instincts showing
Kicking, kicking
I'm screaming from outside in
Tell me where I've been
There's nowhere to return to out there

I think I've lost my way
But that's just not news today
Because the story's old
The black and white
Have gone to grey
The story's old
The black and white
Have gone to grey
And you were right
Cause I finally lost my way

All the windows are playing their game
Where I won't see outside again
Til I write all the fog away
I'm putting words in their place
Between me and the window's pane
From my inarticulate brain
But all of the fog is erased
When I write all the words that I never said
To you

Now the impulse won't go away
"Distracted by something?" you'd say
Cause you don't see anything
It's just between windows and me
Wait til it rains again
And I write all the words that I never said
To you

Will you try to read these lines?
Focus hard and give it time
Who you are in my life
Reads as the water washes

Now the dirt on the window is showing
I should have drawn something instead
The dirt on the window is showing
I should never have written my head
I should never have written what I never said
To you

Let other words fail
I don't find it fair.
But anyway
This little string keeps on pulling
So I gotta pull myself down some different path
Inside my mind
Needs out
I wanna trip myself away
But I better wait I better wait I better wait

I get the sense of a spark so I follow
"I don't believe that she knows something I know"
I tell myself as I stay in the shadow
I tell myself not to go, but I go
Needing to see
Whichever way she's going



If there's any way
So far from here
There's little fear
Her words could ever hurt me
I Don't want to wait.
Don't want to wait.
Don't want to wait I...

Don't look don't talk don't yell
Just close your eyes
This may or may not come
As some surprise
I've found obsessions
Which to live and die by
Don't look don't talk don't yell
Just close your eyes

No hostage has been held like I've
been holding mine but I'm just fine
Since I've been without you
No prisoner could climb the walls
That I've built up in my mind
Since I've been without you

But I'm holding down and out
I'm desperate without you

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time

No other universe but mine
Could ever feel as unaligned
Since I've been without you
No instances from time to time
Feel like things will turn out right
Since I've been without you

But I'm holding down and out
I'm desperate without you

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time
There's no universe for you and I
There's no one to make me realize

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time

I just want the best for you girl
But I don't think I really know
what that means
I know you bring the best out of me
and I know you're sick
of abstract things
But time has been kind
in a weird kind of way
Cause I've been waiting for this feeling to leave
If I can hold onto this feeling this long
Maybe I can get you to hold me

Don't you believe, girl
You'll change the world
At least you changed the world for me

I won't be sorry if you leave me girl
Cause I'm the world's biggest fan of clichⓒs
I'll set you free then I'll love like I'm not
Hurting in the world's worst ways

But I don't know if I can make it alone
And I don't have much more left to lose
I can't say for sure just where I'll end up
I just want to end up there with you

When the darkness never ends
And my world's crashing in
And it starts to turn again
Will you believe?

When I won't get over you
And my world splits in two
When I just can't make it through
Will you believe?

We left and as soon as we did I knew
There was a bad taste in our mouths
Awareness didn't come too soon
But you finally tasted it too
It's just another case of fucking up
A perfectly good afternoon
Every manner that I forgot
Could have helped me out of acting cruel

But I wasn't in the least distraught
Though my jokes were bombing
I got to feeling like my timing was off
But baby that's just not me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me

And as soon as we drove right through
Thirty seconds without a word
It was then that I knew for sure
I wasn't gonna hear a word from you

And the road became the radio
And we scowled at the beautiful trees
I was thinking of what went wrong
I thought baby it's not just me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me (x 9)

These things are eventual
And I can't be too careful
There's nothing more gradual
Than what I choose to show
And you've been patient with me, alright
But does that end tonight?

I will brave any trial by fire
But I'm just not ready
To fall through your thin ice
I'll explain myself in time
But I'm just not ready
To make that sacrifice

But I'm trying like I said I might

These things are unusual for me
I should explain
No mind should have ever dreamt
Of such fictitious pain

There's a story in there somewhere
But I'm not sure you care

I will brave any trial by fire
But I'm just not ready
To fall through your thin ice
I'll explain myself in time
But I'm just not ready
To make that sacrifice

But I'm trying like I said I might
But I don't trust this exercise
But I'm trying like I said I might

I might, I might trust it this one time (x4)

But I don't trust this exercise.

There's a story in there somewhere
But I'm not sure you care

I will brave any trial by fire
But I'm just not ready
To fall through your thin ice
I'll explain myself in time
But I'm just not ready
To make that sacrifice

But I'm trying (Trying like I said I might)
Just like I said I might (Trying like I said I might)
Yeah, I'm trying (But I don't trust this exercise)
Just like I said I might (Just like I said I might)
