Matthew Sweet

What you gave me
I could feel it
Like the warm rays of the sun
Such a small thing
Took me farther
Then I'd been with anyone
What else can I tell you?
My life was simply very bright
So I traded the day for night

Well I love you
And I want you
You should know that anyway
Well I love you
And I want you
Doesn't mean I'll stay

And how much can I tell you
When my brain is terminally light
And so bright
That I traded the day for
Night [solo]

What else can I tell you?
My life is simply very bright
So I traded the day for night
I traded the day for night

I don't know where
I'm gonna live
Don't know if I'll find a place
I'd have to think about it some
Amd that I do not wish to face
I guess that I'm counting on his
Divine intervention

I cannot understand my god
I don't know why it gets to me
One day my life
Is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine intervention

Alright
[solo]
We're all counting on his...
[divine]

Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Hmm now he love us?
I look around
And all I see is destruction
We're all counting on his
Divine intervention

When he comes the sun shine
When he comes the sun shine
Sunshine, the sunshine
Here it comes

She's just your size
She's sexy she's beautiful
Does she talk?
She's just your size
She's sexy she's beautiful
Does she talk?
'Cause man you can't teach
A slithering snake how to talk

Did she lick your palm
To tell you your fortune tonight?
Did she lick your palm
To tell you your fortune tonight?
You know sometimes it just isn't worth
Putting up a fight, is it?
[solo]

Gonna need you a key
To open the door to her heart
Gonna need you a key
To open the door to her heart
Or are you afraid her body is
Missing that part?

Well I can *** you up the ***
You can *** me up the ***
Alright
Well I can *** you up the ***
You can *** me up the ***
Alright
Because they took channel 23
Off the air last night
Down home

You're gonna like it
You're gonna like it

Don't go
Don't let my love drive you away
there is so much
I have left to say
Oh don't go
Don't bring my nightmare
To the day
There is so much
I have left to say

Come back
You know I wrote another song
They keep telling me
The pat is gone
But it looks like
My evil deeds are coming 'round
I can't watch them
Put you in the ground
Oh don't go
I can't watch them
Put you in the ground
Don't go
[solo]

Don't go
Don't make me
Have to say goodbye
'Cause I need to look
You in the eye
Oh don't go
I still need to look you in the eye
Don't go
I still need to look you in the eye
Don't go
No don't go

She's on another planet
She's in my dream
She's some kind of angel
If you know what I mean
Try her on
She fits like a glove
Too bad she only thinks about
The lord above

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

Now if I called you up
Do you think you
Could deliver my soul?
Won't you take a drink
Little darlin'
The cup is full

And every night I bow to pray
But I'll feel a whole lot better
Once you're coming my way

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

So come on down [solo]

So tell me how you want it
Come on, tell me how you want it
Just tell me how you want it

Just tell me how you want it
We won't be seen
You can tell your father
It was all a dream
[try her on she fits like a glove]
Too bad the only man you trust
Is god above

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

Now Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

She's some kind of angel
If you know what I mean
Evangeline

I wanna love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh, I wanna love somebody
I hear you're looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Get back in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way
No, I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend
Oooh (sidenote: hey, someone's gotta write it in)
Alright

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey belive me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend

'Cause you got a good thing going, baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh, you've got a good thing going
You're only looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend

And I'm never gonna set you free
No, I'm never gonna set you free

I've spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war

I don't know what's going on
In the scenes behind
I worry about it some of the time
And I hope there's not a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

And I would walk across highways
To find my fate
If that might settle your crude debate
But I do not want a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

Feeding the promised land
With your blood by my own hand
At allah's own command
At allah's own command

I came up from the desert and here I will die
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
Though I didn't want a war

I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
Oh yeah

Do just what you want to
I think you're right
I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do
I let the world surround me
'Cause I saw no real harm
I didn't stop to think of you
You were already in my arms
I was wrong but I

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to telly you
What I couldn't say
[love]
I needed to find mine
But it took me a long time to see

Love. . . Well never mind
I know how you feel about that
Now what do you think about time
[something. . . ]

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
What I couldn't say
[love]
I needed to find mine
But it took me a long time to see

[solo]

I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do
I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do
I let the world surround me
'Cause I saw no real harm
I didn't stop to think of you,
You were already in my arms
But there was something. . .

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
What I couldn't say
[love]
I needed to find mine
But it took me a long time to see

[solo]

Love

When you said to me
You are not so old
Did I know it then?
'Cause I had just been told

I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to

The secret on your lips
That nobody knows
Gentle in your eyes
You can wear my clothes

I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to

[solo]

When you said to me
You are not so old
Did I know it then?
'Cause I had just been told

You know I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to have you [have you] [3x]

I've been waiting

Do you really want to
Run away with me?
Would you really like to
Run away with me?
I can feel very clearly
But no longer see

For oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now

I was looking for somebody
That you couldn't be
I was looking for somebody
That you will never be
I was so sure that there was
Nothing wrong with ne

For oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now...I'm blind
[solo]

Do you really want to
Run away with me?
I can feel very clearly
But no longer
Oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And now I'm blind
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now
Yeah I'm blind now

If one could stop time
Or make it up
If tow could realize
the best of luck
If I could locate
A god above
And you only wanted to be loved
Then I'd try to hang on to the past
But you know that nothing
Oh no nothing lasts
Nothing lasts

It's time to move on
Let the past go
I've waited for you here
But you never showed
Although I asked you
To let me know
I only felt a cold wind blow
While I tried to hang on to the past
But you know that nothing
Oh no nothing lasts

Nothing's in your way
Now you can stand right up and run
Woudln't even change things
If you took back what you'd done
I have tried to hang on to the past
But I couldn't keep my grasp
'Cause nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
Nothing lasts

I thought I knew you
But I was in for a suprise
I let my love flow
From my heart into your eyes
And then I found out
That there was nothing
I could know
Or guess about you
You'd go as far as you could go

And it took me years to figure out
That there was nothing
I could give to you
Years to figure out
That there was nothing
You would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly put
My hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you

I thought I knew you
But I wasn't even close
I had my heart set
On little more than a ghost
And I thought I'd show you
There was no way we could lose
I thought I'd force you
To realize and choose
And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never really
Going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you [solo]

And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never
Really going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you

I tried to call you
But the line was busy
Were you talking to a friend?
When I tried again much later
I didn't want to let it ring again
So you can see I've got a problem
Back by popular demand
Sometimes I want to
Keep it from you
Sometimes I think
You'll understand

Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world
[solo]

When I think maybe I need you
I don't care if if it's not true
'Cause it isn't so much
What I need now
As what I want from you

Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world

Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you

I feel alone
I feel alone

What a beautiful moment
The truth comes out at last
Once your heart
Would own me forever
Then this passed
And what a beautiful moment
As my head comes apart
Drunk and
In a manner of saying, wasted

'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how
I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can't believe that
If you find something
You think might make you happy
Then I guess it's okay
I think it's okay
If you go away

Blown right out of my senses
I did not know what to do
Lost and badly wanting someone
To see me through
That's why I needed you

But you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how
I matter in this world
Even though I loved you

Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright

If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near

Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight
Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight

And all my earthly cares might fade away
If you hold me in your warm hand that way

It's as close as I get to love
As close as I get to love
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Again
[solo]

Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright

If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near
Speak to me with your sweet voice
That way
Speak to me with your sweet voice

Some sleepless night if you should find yourself alone

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

To set things right
When this whole world's turned upside down

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

For love and understanding, to find a quiet place
For silent understanding, a loving touch
Come to me when things go wrong
And there's no love to light the way

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Need someone to turn to
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Need someone to turn to
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to

You are sickened by the weakness
Of a heart that's filled with fear
And if the world won't understand you
You can make it disappear

'Cause there's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you

And deep inside, the way you hate them
On the outside, doesn't show
And oh, they think that they defy you
They are slaved to what you know

It's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you

And it's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
And it's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you

It's a dark secret
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you
It's a dark secret
Carry with you (dark secret)

Bad blood set you up for a fall
Think you're so smart that you're fooling us all
But it seems, there must of been something wrong
Say you'll get back if you have to crawl

Well it's a fat chance that you'll make it at all
And it seems, you must of done something wrong

And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it's coming back to me

You don't have the system beat, no
You're traveling down a one way street
Like the rest of us
You must of done something wrong

And I remember what you said
That it's all over my head
But now it's coming back to me
And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it's coming back to me

You must of done something wrong
It was all over my head
You must of done something wrong
It was all over my head

You come looking for protection
A revolver in your hand
And that puts it in a language
That I think I understand.
Don't need to concentrate
To push it through.
You know you've sent it
'Cause I'm coming back to you.
Anybody with a brain will tell you
That you cannot win,
But just ask the brainless wonder
Living underneath my skin.
I'll tell you anything
But what is true.
No sense in giving in,
I'm coming back to you,
Back to you.

(Solo)

Anybody with a brain will tell you

Back to you.

I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
You know I wasn't happy
Behind the smile

Anywhere you look
A reason to believe
But I think of what it took
To bring me to my proper place

And I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
I haven't been a good friend
While you've been mine

Now am I by your side
Or standing in your way
'Cause if this is a sign
I don't know what it's sposed to mean

And I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
I haven't been a good friend
While you've been mine

I have seen my perfect day
I have watched it fade away
You know I'm fighting to be real
I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
You know I haven't been happy
Behind the smile

Started with a rose,
Ended up a millionairess queen
In your new electric chair,
Sweetly sitting there building up steam.
Watch your mind little bit,
Or you're gonna have to make believe.

Flew into LA,
Caught a screening of your lifelong dreams.
Blew it in LA,
Now you're desperate to
Create your own scenes.
But watch your mind little bit
'Cause you're heading into the machine.

Come to California.
Come to California.
Come to California.
Come to California.

Come to California,
Baby, let it all hang out.
Come to California,
Tell us what it's all about,
But watch your mind little bit
'Cause the future is beginning now.

Come to California.
Come to California.
Come to California.
Come to California.
But watch your mind little bit
'Cause you're headed into the machine.
Come to California.
Come to California.
Come to California.
Come to California.

When it shines the sun is hot
And what you need you ain't got
Heaven and earth
Are hardly worth it
We'll begin the race by living in ecstacy

You may have your mind to show
But you've got no place to go
Heaven and earth
Are hardly worth it
We'll begin the race by living a life of ecstacy
We'll begin the race by living in ecstacy




Will you share with me to live
What nobody wants to give
Heaven and earth
Are hardly worth it
We'll begin the race by living a life of ecstacy
We'll begin the race by ripping a rib for u from me
We'll begin the race by living a life of ecstacy
We'll begin the race by living in ecstacy

Capture
The spirit of adversity.
Be sure to put the lid on tight
And watch it carefully.
Sew shut
The mouth of the river slut,
The entrance of a place discussed
But hardly there for you.
Hollow:
An evil bigger than you could know
Has taken root.

Rapture:
So what do you care?
You know if it was up to me
I'd take you anywhere.

Hollow:
An evil bigger than you could know,
An evil bigger than you could know,
An evil bigger than you could know,
Has taken root.

(Solo)

Hollow:
An evil bigger than you could know,
An evil bigger than you could know,
An evil bigger than you could know,
Has taken root.

Tell me what you want me to do
Tell me what you want me to say
When nothing I do or say is enough
Everything fits but the size of my love
Out of proportion and into your drug
Into your drug

Now how can I give you the world
Painted on the side of a pearl
When neither the pearl nor the worlds big enough
Everything fits but the size of my love
Out of proportion and into your drug
Into your drug

(Solo)

Nothing I do or say is enough
Everything fits but the size of my love
Out of proportion and into your drug
Into your drug

Everything is perfect in a way
But not today
What could tomorrow bring?

Even when I beg you
Will you please be good to me?
You're running free
Just make believe you love me
And i'll try harder than before
'Cause it's a real love
That keeps us coming back for more

(If anything) Anything I question can be used
Against my will
And it will be 'til you

Understand the question is
A cup that cannot be filled
By what you feel
I'll make believe i love you
And i'll try harder than before
'Cause it's a real love
That keeps us coming back for more

Just make believe you love me
And i'll try harder than before
'Cause it's a real love
That keeps us coming back for more

Do you realize what they have done
Showed me I am not the only one
Planted something in my mind
Now I've begun to find
Missing time
I want back
I'm afraid that I can feel
Missing time
I want back

Didn't realize they took from me
Everything my eyes had lived to see
Even when they touched my heart
I felt I could not move
Missing time
Holds the key
Something they left here with me
Missing time
I want back

Is there something I can almost see
'Cause you know they're
Coming back for me
Even as you watch us go
Finally you will know
Missing time
Holds the key
Something they left here with me
Missing time
I want back
I'm afraid that I can feel
Missing time
I want back
I'm afraid that I can feel
Missing time
I want back

You're over it.
You're not angry anymore
Because you're over it.
No big deal unless you make it one.
You don't even have to fake it now.
You're over it.
You're over it.
And in a way you should never have to feel
You didn't get your say.
If you're looking all around you
And there's nothing that's profound
You know you're over it
I won't ask you what you think of me
'Cause I'm exactly what I want to be
Not like me.
You're over it.

(Solo)

I won't ask you what you think of me
'Cause I'm exactly what I want to be
Not like me.
You're over it.
You're not angry anymore
Because you're over it.
You can go back to being normal
'Cause I guess this makes it formal now.
You're over it.
You're over it.
You're over it now.

Hanging onto your pride,
Trying not to decide
Who could take you.
Do you hold it inside,
Let it fall by the way?
I'll feel the way you feel
And tell you after.
But how long will it take?
How long until you break,
To talk you into space,
How long until you break?
Put an end to your day,
Turn the light out and say.
But first I'll get to know
And love you after.
Just how long will it take?
How long until you break,
To talk you into space,
How long until you break?

Solo

I'll feel the way you feel
And love you after.
Just how long will it take?
How long until you break,
To talk you into space,
How long until you break?
Just how long will it take?
How long until you break?
To talk you into space,
How long until you break,
Til you break..

Instead of running
Stay and keep it coming
You're getting your kicks right at the source
You're taking your guidance from the force

But where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love

Am I the whore
You're working for
I'm here if you want to keep me near
much further away than I appear

Where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love

Instead of running
Stay and keep it coming
Stay and keep it coming
Stay and keep it coming

Where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where do you get love
Where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where do you get love
Where do you get love

Into you so far the words go
So much clearer than you hear
Into you goes everything I know
No one else knows how I feel

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away

Only chance can change my fortune
So I'm not sure why I try
As if I could swim the ocean
As if you could start to fly

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away

I met her down by the water
She took me into her full like a mother
I sent her some flowers for the weekend
And she sent me away on a mission
I went into another land

Starin' into one another's *green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Thank God that they don't ask us why
We can't get high
Blue fools

Never had any sisters or brothers
Spent all my time lookin' for another
Keeping all of my thoughts in a locket
Before I knew it she picked my pocket
I turned into another man

Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Thank God that they don't ask us why
We can't get high
Blue fools

Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Starin' into one another's green pools
We're a couple o' blue fools
Thank God that they don't ask us why
We can't get high
Blue fools...

As my girl you make me strong
Watching and helping along
Come in and I'll play any game you play
I'll hear every word you say

Did you tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood

So close to touching the end
More like a sister than friend
When I watch you go I hold my breath and *dream
Once I see you after me

So tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling


Brotherhood

Come in and I'll play any game you play
I'll hear every word you say

You can tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
Between any two have it half as good
We must be feeling
Brotherhood

Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
It's a word I never understood
Til now
Brotherhood
Tell me how you feel about brotherhood
It's a word I never understood
Til now
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood
Brotherhood.

Now you're never gonna get back to the boy you had
You have broken the chains forever
Now you're never gonna get back to the girl you were
(you are looking for a boy...)
I have found you
(standing free, now that he...)
No longer surrounds you
(wishing your memories)
Away

Come catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
All those hopes you're frightened of and have no strength to fight
Alone

It was written in the stars you'd be resting here
Slipping straight from the arms of heaven
No I never would have guessed in a million years
(you were looking for a sign...)
Now I hold you
(shivering in my arms...)
Forget what he told you
(wishing your memories)


Away

Come catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
All those hopes you're frightened of and have no strength to fight
Alone

(you were looking for a boy...)
I have found you
(standing free, now that he...)
No longer surrounds you
(wishing your memories)
Away

Come catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
(catch) catch your breath
Nobody's going to rush you
Catch your breath
This time you don't have to hide
Catch your breath...

Shut your eyes
And you'll remember like the first time what it meant to see
Take your time
Any reason why you can't go on is fine with me

As long as we don't sit in silence
I don't want to see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be...half asleep
Half asleep

It takes a while
I'd give everything I've got to know how many days
I don't accuse you
'cause any problem that there is I put in my own way

But I don't want to sit in silence
I don't want to see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be...half asleep
Half asleep



We always have to say we're sorry
But every time we say we're sorry
It's closer to the real thing

We stay here some
'cause we aren't going to get much closer to a real answer;
The sleeping cured you;
Ya know tomorrow we can waste the day and start another.

As long as we don't sit in silence
I don't want to see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be...half asleep
Half asleep
I don't wanna sit in silence
I don't wannt see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be...half asleep
Half asleep

Ever since I first ran ahead
I've been living in the past
Only wanting what might last
And up until today disappeared
Though I saw it wasn't clear
I could not admit the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let her fly
And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow
I will still be waiting around
For the girl who tied me down
For the face that lost me found
Wishing to the shot in the dark
By the touch and words I like
In her precious smile
The love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let it fly
And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow


I will still be waiting around
For the face that lost me found
For the voice that brought me *down/bound

Ever since I first ran ahead
I've been living in the past
Only wanting what might last
And up until today disappeared
Though I saw it wasn't clear
I could not admit the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Let her fly
And even if I'm walking down that road tomorrow
I will still be waiting
The love I trusted in
(love I trusted)
Couldn't hold the love I trusted in

And even if I'm walking....

Without a single breath of noiselessness she can't speak
[But we'll] keep raging through the [cold rushes]
So I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love tonight

Kicked up a lot of dust [ . . . started off] she took it
And love will falter if your faith is lost
But I can quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love tonight

And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love tonight
And I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
I will quiet her
Tell her the words that she needs to hear
And I won't be left at the battle front
I'll be getting off with the one I love...
I'll be getting off with the one I love...

I was thinking I could wait until the work is done
But you'll only want to get back out and have some fun
Sun's lighting up the sky
And if it wasn't so bright
I'd come undone

Why can't you save time for me
There isn't much but it's all that I want from you
Why can't you save time for me
Without these moments there isn't much we can do
As victims of circumstance
Avoiding our every chance
We can't solve problems
Save time for me

I remember when you leaned on my experience
And I showed you what you had to do to make some sense
But time moves fast
And it doesn't last
For everyone


Why can't you save time for me
There isn't much, but it's all that I want from you
Why can't you save time for me
Without these moments there isn't much we can do
As victims of circumstance
Avoiding our every chance
We can't solve problems
Save time for me

As victims of circumstance
Avoiding our every chance
We can't solve problems

Why can't you save time for me
There isn't much but it's all that I want from you
Why can't you save time for me
Without these moments there isn't much we can do

Why can't you save time for me (repeat) {fade}

You can't give everything
There isn't much I can give
It's not a penny from the foot
He left in the door

Can't say anything
Not say things though they *
Some may be
But oh baby

It's only today
This above all
I thought you would remember
And the first song is out the door
This above all
You can remember
This above all
I will remember too

You can't just go ahead
And not look back at the past
Some call it black
Some hide it
Can't know anything
And think you know it at all
Without lying
But you can keep trying

It's only today
This above all


I thought you would remember
And the first song is out the door
This above all
You can remember
This above all
I will remember too

You can't give everything
There isn't much I can give
It's not a penny from the foot
He left in the door

Can't say anything
Not say things though they *
Well some may be
But c'mon baby

It's only today
This above all
I thought you would remember
And the first song is out the door
This above all
You can remember
This above all
I will remember too
This above all
This above all
This above all
This above all...

Safe in the night
When people look but can not see
Pale in the light
That shines above onto the street

I watch you walkin' on the other side
And I turn my head away in shame
Wishin' they'd talk in the worthless--

Quaint and reserved
The house that knows you in detail
Slender and curved
You come down stairs to get your mail

I watch you walkin' on the other side


And I feel my thinking rearrange
As slowly every thought will change

Summer has gone
October fled without a word
Winter is on
My conscience has remained uncured

I watch you walkin' on the other side
And I rush my fingers through my hair
Telling myself that it is not fair

I watch you walkin' on the other side
And I rush my fingers through my hair
Telling myself that it is not fair

Daylight comes you lift your pretty head from your knees
In the past you always knew you could talk to me
I would look to help but certain things I can't see
You raise your eyes and nod your head
I'd rather talk this out instead
While time is ticking away (time ticks away)
We lose another day
We lose another day

I'm the first to know when something is going wrong
If we wait for night to fall it will take too long
I will fight if you believe we can both be strong
You raise your eyes and nod your head
I'd rather talk this out instead
While time is ticking away (time ticks away)
We lose another day

You raise your eyes and nod your head
I'd rather talk this out instead
While time is ticking away (time ticks away)
We lose another day
We lose another day
We lose another day
We lose another day...
We lose another day...

I wanna love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh, I wanna love somebody
I hear you're looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Get back in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way
No, I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend
Oooh (sidenote: hey, someone's gotta write it in)
Alright

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey belive me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend

'Cause you got a good thing going, baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh, you've got a good thing going
You're only looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend

And I'm never gonna set you free
No, I'm never gonna set you free
