"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly Take a seat Take your life Plot it out in black and white Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings And the drama queens I'd like to think the best of me Is still hiding Up my sleeve They love to tell you Stay inside the lines But something's better On the other side *I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above So the good boys and girls take the so called right track Faded white hats Grabbing credits Maybe transfers They read all the books but they can't find the answers And all of our parents They're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better While in their memories Tiny tragedies They love to tell you Stay inside the lines But something's better On the other side *Repeat I am invincible I am invincible I am invincible As long as I'm alive *Repeat I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion I'm gonna bust down the double doors And when I stand on these tables before you You will know what all this time was for |

[guitar solo] you can be mad in the morning or the afternoon instead but dont leave me 98.6 degrees of separation from you baby come back to bed come back to bed come back to bed dont hold your love over my head dont hold your love over my head dont hold your love over my head dont hold your love one more time around baby dont hold your love over my head dont hold your love over my head yeah dont hold your love over my head dont hold your love over my head come on come back to bed [guitar solo] ooooooh come on in ladies the next time a man does something to upset you dont do that thing where you pretend nothings wrong but you still show something wrong and you just say keep askin and then us men askin you just say nothin because we'll stop after two times god damn you we'll stop nothing means nothing in our book right? so then you just make it worse because we think you want to and maybe you want to but maybe we can bridge the gap here we can both sleep in the same bed next time your man screws up just look at him fold your arms if you have to because thats the worst thing in the world that you can do to a man and just look him in the eye and say "someday baby" "someday baby" OOOOOHhh "someday baby" "some some some someday baby" [guitar again, with a few funny yelps from john] "someday baby" OOOOOhhhhh ooohhhhh...

I'm not alone
I wish I was Cause then I'd know I was down because I couldn't find a friend around To love me like they do right now They do right now I'm dizzy from the shopping mall I searched for joy but I bought it all It doesn't help the hunger pains And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate Something's missing And I don't know how to fix it Something's missing And I don't know what it is No I don't know what it is at all When autumn comes It doesn't ask It just walks in where it left you last You never know when it starts Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart Something's missing And I don't know how to fix it Something's missing And I don't know what it is No I don't know what it is at all I can't be sure that this state of mine Is not of my own design I wish there was an over-the-counter test For loneliness For loneliness like this Something's missing And I don't know how to fix it Something's missing And I don't know what it is No I don't know what it is Something's different And I don't know what it is No I don't know what it is Friends (Check) Money (Check) A well slept (Check) Opposite sex (Check) Guitar (Check) Microphone (Check) Messages waiting on me when I come home (Check) How come everything I think I need Always comes with batteries What do you think it means? |

And I don't where you went when you left me but
It says here in the water, you must be gone by now I can tell somehow One hand on the trigger of the telephone Wonderin when the call comes, when you say it's all right You got your heart right Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and Wait on your porch 'til you come back home, alright I can't find a fight We share the sadness Split screen sadness Two wrongs make it all alright tonight Two wrongs make it all alright tonight Two wrongs make it all alright tonight Two wrongs make it all alright tonight All you need is love is a lie cause We had a love but we still said goodbye Now we're tired, battered fighters And it stings when it nobody's fault Cause there's nothing to blame At the drop of your name, it's only the air you took And the breath you left So maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and Wait on the porch til you come back home, alright I can't find the fight So I'll check the weather wherever you are Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight Might be my only right We share the sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) Split screen sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) We share the sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) Split screen sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) I called... because... I just... need to feel you on the line Don't hang up this time And I know well it's me you called it over but I still wish you fought me 'til my dying day Don't let me get away Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me So I can say this is the way that I used to be There's no substitute for time Oh for the sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) Split screen sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) We share the sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) Split screen sadness (two wrongs make it all alright tonight) Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright Oh in the sadness, it's alright, it's alright |

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened** I can barely survive A night in my mind So I've got a plan I'm gonna find out just how boring I am And have a good time 'Cause ever since I tried?, trying not to find Every little meaning in my life It's been fine, I've been cool With my new golden rule Now it's the new deep Down with the old me Talk is the same cheap It's been Is there a guy Why is he waiting Don't you figure it out When he knows my address And look at the stars Don't they remind you Just how feeble we are Well it used to I guess 'Cause ever since I tried, trying not to find Every little meaning in my life It's been fine, I've been cool With my new golden rule Now it's the new deep Down with the old me Talk is the same cheap It's been I'm a new man I wear a new cologne And you wouldn't know me If your eyes were closed I know what you'd say This will last longer than the rest of the day But you're wrong this time You're wrong Now it's the new deep Down with the old me I'm over the analyzing tonight Stop trying to figure it out (you try to figure, you try to figure it out) It will only bring you down You know I used to be the backporch poet with my book of lines always open No and all the time I'm trying* Never gonna find the perfect rhyme For heavier things |

I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon just stuck inside the gloom 4 more exits to my apartment but I am tempted to keep the car in drive And leave this shit behind Cause I wonder sometimes About the outcome Of a still verdictless life Am I living it right? Am I living it right? Am I living it right? Why Georgia, why? I rent a room and I fill the spaces with Wood in places to make it feel like home But all I feel's alone It might be a quarter life crisis Or just the stirring in my soul Either way I wonder sometimes About the outcome Of a still verdictless life Am I living it right? Am I living it right? Am I living it right? Why Georgia, why? So what, so I've got a smile on But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head Don't believe me When I say I've got it down Everybody is just a stranger but That's the danger in going my own way I guess it's the price I have to pay Still "everything happens for a reason" Is no reason not to ask myself If I am living it right Am I living it right? Am I living it right? Why Georgia, why? |

This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU I'm stranded behind a horizon line Tried to be something true Yes, I'm grounded Got my wings clipped I'm surrounded (by) All this pavement Guess I'll circle While I'm waiting For my fears to dry Someday I'll fly Someday I'll soar Someday I'll be something much more Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for Why is it not the time? What is there more to learn? I've shed this skin that I've been chipping at And I've never quite returned Yes, I'm grounded Got my wings clipped I'm surrounded (by) All this pavement Guess I'll circle While I'm waiting For my fears to dry Someday I'll fly Someday I'll soar Someday I'll be something much more Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for Cause I'm bigger than my body now Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines And it might be over in a second's time But I'll glady go down in a flame If the flame's what it takes to remember my name Yes, I'm grounded Got my wings clipped I'm surrounded (by) All this pavement Guess I'll circle While I'm waiting For my fears to dry Wait for my fears to dry Someday I'll fly Someday I'll soar Someday I'll be something much more Cause I'm bigger than my body I'm bigger than my body I'm bigger than my body now |

I think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a home life Sitting in the slow-mo And listening to the daylight I am not a nomad I am not a rocket man I was born a house cat By the slight of my mother's hand I think I'm gonna stay home I want to live in the center of a circle I want to live on the side of a square I used to be in my M-Z now You'll never find me cause my name isn't there Home life Been holding out for a home life My whole life I want to see the end game I want to learn her last name Finish on a Friday And sit in traffic on the highway See, I refuse to believe That my life's gonna be Just some string of incompletes Never to lead me to anything remotely close to home life Been holding out for a home life My whole life I can tell you this much I will marry just once And if it doesn't work out Give her half of my stuff It's fine with me We said eternity And I will go to my grave With the life that I gave Not just some melody line On a radio wave It dissipates And soon evaporates But home life doesn't change I want to live in the center of a circle I want to live on the side of a square I'd love to walk to where we can both talk but I've got to leave you cause my ride is here Home life You keep the home life You take the home life I'll come back for the home life I promise |

I just remembered that time at the market
Snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart And rolled down aisle five You looked behind you to smile back at me Crashed into a rack full of magazines They asked us if we could leave Can't remember what went wrong last September Though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to Our love was comfortable and so broken in I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to My friends all approve, say "she's gonna be good for you" They throw me high fives She says the Bible is all that she reads And prefers that I not use profanity Your mouth was so dirty Life of the party and she swears that she's artsy But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane Our love was comfortable and so broken in She's perfect So flawless Or so they say, hey say, hey She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking And poses for pictures that aren't being taken I loved you Grey sweatpants No makeup So perfect Our love was comfortable and so broken in She's perfect So flawless I'm not impressed I want you back |
