Evan & Jaron

Once again I just can't get it straight
Wondering if wandering is my fate
But don't lose hope in me quite yet
'cause help must be on the way, any day

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start
but the furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

I feel the distance standing here next to you
I don't want to keep you waiting, but I've been waiting too
Some day if I get there and you still want me too
we can see it through

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start
but the furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
My head to my heart

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
it's not you, you've got everything I could ever want

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start
but the furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why
But she's changed my mind

**Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
And I'm crazy for this girl

She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn't end
Why didn't I know what I know now

**Repeat

Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life
With you

Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
She was the one to hold me
The night, the sky fell down

The sky has lost it's color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away

I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back
You're coming back

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time
Until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying your name
I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down
But I can't take the distance

I still believe in feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough

Last night I heard the sweetest words
But if I wasn't' drinking
I might have remembered more of what she said
There were sounds of promise
And shades of grace

I've been down and I've been waiting
Here she comes here she comes

Now another day has found me
And if I wasn't so stupid
I'd have ushered in the morning holding her tight
With sounds of promise
And shades of grace

I've been down and I've been waiting
Here she comes here she comes

I'm done hanging on maybe

Tonight I'll say the sweetest words
But if I'm not dreaming I might not remember
To say just what I mean

With sounds of promise
And shades of grace

I'm done hanging on maybe

I don't wanna go, she don't wanna go,
We don't need to go this time is ours tonight

Once again I just can't get it straight
Wondering if wandering is my fate
But don't lose hope in me quite yet
'cause help must be on the way, any day

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start

can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
it's not you, you've got everything I could ever want

Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

Nobody could hurt me like I know she could hurt me
but there's nothing in this world that I want more
Nobody could take me to the places that she takes me
Places that I've never been before
With my eyes wide open knowing full well

I could fall from heaven
I could fall from heaven
I could fall I could brake that's the chance that I take
I could fall

Look at me I'm flying, just a breath away from dying
Holding on to her and letting go
As I walk across this wire above a lake of fire
And lean into the wind that starts to blow
With my eyes wide open knowing full well

Do I hide my heart? Do I lock my door?
Do I tear it out so it don't feel no more?
No, I risk it all knowing that I could fall from heaven
I could fall from heaven
I could fall
I could fall
I could fall
I could fall
Fall, fall

I don't know what's happening to me
I can't remember things I used to believe
I caught myself just the other day
stealing color from words and leaving them gray

Yeah, I've fallen down a time or two
but no one was looking so I'm not telling you

I've got to make it better, make it all right
got to find me a ladder to reach the light
got to move to the exit, single file line
before the fire spreads to my head and burns my mind

It's been real but it's time to go home
time to change back to the clothes that I own
I could use some heavier shoes
to ground me in feelings I don't want to lose

And all this time, I never knew
that it ever meant anything to you

You ought to know by now that I don't wait around
Drag my heels hold my breath and hang out underground
You think I think too much, I think we'll wait and see
From here to there I'll take a piece of all that's in between

Never say never and don't wait forever
It's an open mind that sees that now is the time
To take a chance, take a shot, take control of the situation
I can't stand around here telling you
About the things I've done and what I got to do
So are you on the bus or not,
Cause we're leaving the station

Don't leave yourself behind and don't get in the way
Tomorrow's coming fast to take away today
You say I want too much, but I want you to see
That if you want to come with me, you're going to have to leave

It's lonely here in outerspace
The nearest stars are miles away
But I believe I'm on to something big

I've only come to not be found
To circle high above the ground
And watch everyone else for a change

Don't you ever wish you'd never
Don't you wonder if your face might shine
Without the pies of lies

To all the girls who wish to be
Immortalized in fantasy
I wrote this song for you and not for me

I'm the senator of a lonely state
Too far gone I've sealed my fate
I'm so tired of being blown out with the cause

Don't you ever wish you'd met her
Don't you wonder if your face might shine
Without the pies of lies

I've arrived
I'm doing well
Quite a view from the top
Though it is cold as hell
I've arrived
And it's hard to tell
The bright lights from the starlights
And the canyons from the hills

Sorry to call you in the middle of the night
but my thoughts have kept me thinking about some things in my life
I got your number from a friend who told me
that it'd be all right to call you if I ever need
Someone to show me things in a different light
and let me choose what's wrong and what's right

Please pick up the phone
I need to talk, I know you're at home
If you're screening your calls
I know you're busy and I won't keep you long

If you know everything that happens to me
Why do I have to ask you for things that I need
what about people who don't even call
'cause they don't have the number, do you help them at all?
will you show me things in a different light
and let me choose what's wrong and what's right

Well, I've moved away and I'm out on my own
Do you ever get lonely living alone?
Can we just talk about it
won't you pick up the phone

Every night I sit and stare
at the wall in front of my face imagining you're there
talking back to me so that everyone can see
that I'm not so crazy after all

There was nothing down in my little town
No one I could be
Nobody there in the empty square
Soon to include me
So I borrowed myself a stolen van
And I got myself to where I am

I made my escape while no one wached
And inside my head I had just one thought
It was freedom that I wanted
Freedom that I got
Ready or not

It's another world that I find in me in
I think someone stole the van
And the people here are like aliens
And I don't know what I am
And the pretty pretty girls I thought I could trust
Have taken everything but my bad luck

Now I'm not so bad and I'm not so hot
I said I don't care but I cared a lot
It was changes that I wanted
Changes that I got
Ready or not (x3)

Now I'm not so radical as I thought
I said I don't care but I cared a lot
It was freedom that I wanted
Freedom that I got
Ready or not

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
How you were gonna stay free
But they had plans for you
And things to do
The same thing goes for me
Well well I never
Saw it coming to me
But when I turned around
To look at you
It was all that I could do

To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one

In the beginning
Everything was so close
And it seemed that everywhere you go
Everybody knows

You don't remember
What you wanted to be
Well they went round the class
And you were last
The clock was fast
So no one asked

To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one

Well how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you're after
Year after year after year

Well I've been looking
But I still can't see
How we get from a to b to c
And feel like we should be

Well I've been running
But I've been running around
Now there's nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view

And see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

now I've found a little time
to take a look back
from the caboose
and follow the tracks of my life
they're tangled about lying true
and I know it's just me
and my point of view
but those are the
important two
I don't need to check with the crowd

wouldn't it be nice to be proud

a door was open
and into the night
I jumped through
and turned on the light
I started to see
thought it wasn't that bright
I saw a island sky
but it wasn't all blue
my answers weren't right
but I didn't wanna lose
so I'd put up a fight
and scream out loud

wouldn't it be nice to be proud

and when it all is clear
your time to repair disappears
taking with it chances left untried

I see my friend
huddled together
tryin to stay warm
in nasty weather
we'd beat the odds
whenever they'd call
and all the jokes
I played on my friends
never did get
me in the end
I guess I was
given more than allowed

wouldn't it be nice to be proud

I run these stories through my head
of her coming home
and us just staring at each other
and we'll both know
yeah we'll both know
and I won't care
that she took me through a maze
And left me there for days
Until she made
her mind to go away

You'd think I'd know by now
You'd think I'd wash this down
Did you think I'd hurt her now
Just to heal my heart
Then you don't know me
You don't know me
And she don't owe me anything

I'd love to think that she
Was out to hurt me
And given the facts
Still maybe we
We could you know, we could try again
But she didn't mean the harm she put me through
And I could never go to her and trust
That she would ever care

If time is all it takes than I've got plenty of that
Plenty of that, and I'm a better man
For all the time it takes

She rolls the window down
And she talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why
But she's changed my mind
Would you look at her she looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
She was the one to hold me
The night, the sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn't end
Why didn't I know what I know now
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl
Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life
With you
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl

Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl

Last night I heard the sweetest words
But if I wasn't' drinking
I might have remembered more of what she said
There were sounds of promise
And shades of grace

I've been down and I've been waiting
Here she comes here she comes

Now another day has found me
And if I wasn't so stupid
I'd have ushered in the morning holding her tight
With sounds of promise
And shades of grace

I've been down and I've been waiting
Here she comes here she comes

I'm done hanging on maybe

Tonight I'll say the sweetest words
But if I'm not dreaming I might not remember
To say just what I mean

With sounds of promise
And shades of grace

I'm done hanging on maybe

I don't wanna go, she don't wanna go,
We don't need to go this time is ours tonight

Once again I just can't get it straight
Wondering if wandering is my fate
But don't lose hope in me quite yet
'cause help must be on the way, any day

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start
but the furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

I feel the distance standing here next to you
I don't want to keep you waiting, but I've been waiting too
Some day if I get there and you still want me too
we can see it through

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start
but the furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
My head to my heart

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
it's not you, you've got everything I could ever want

From my head to my heart
can't seem to find a way they're so far apart
It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want
And you've always understood my intentions are good
and we've been so close from the start
but the furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart
Furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart

Nobody could hurt me like I know she could hurt me
but there's nothing in this world that I want more
Nobody could take me to the places that she takes me
Places that I've never been before
With my eyes wide open knowing full well
I could fall from heaven
I could fall from heaven
I could fall I could brake that's the chance that I take
I could fall
Look at me I'm flying, just a breath away from dying

Fall, fall

I don't know what's happening to me
I can't remember things I used to believe

Now I've found a little time
to take a look back
from the caboose
and follow the tracks of my life.
They're tangled about lying true.
And I know it's just me,
my point of view,
but those are the
important two,
and I don't need
to check with the crowd.
Wouldn't it be nice to be proud?
The door was open
and into the night.
I jumped through
and turned on the light.
I started to see
though it wasn't that bright
I saw island sky
but it wasn't all blue.
My aces weren't right
but I didn't want to lose,
so I put up a fight
and screamed out loud.
Wouldn't it be nice to be proud?
And when it all is clear,
the time to repair
disappears
takin' with it chances left untried.
See my friends
huddled together,
tryin' to stay warm
in nasty weather.
We'd beat the odds,
whenever they'd call.
And all the jokes
that I played on friends
never did get
me in the end.
I guess I was
given more than allowed.
Wouldn't it be nice to be proud?
And when it all is clear
the time to repair
disappears
takin' with it chances left untried.

I run these stories through my head
of her coming home
and us just staring at each other
and we'll both know
yeah we'll both know
and I won't care
that she took me through a maze
And left me there for days
Until she made
her mind to go away

You'd think I'd know by now
You'd think I'd wash this down
Did you think I'd hurt her now
Just to heal my heart
Then you don't know me
You don't know me
And she don't owe me anything

I'd love to think that she
Was out to hurt me
And given the facts
Still maybe we
We could you know, we could try again
But she didn't mean the harm she put me through
And I could never go to her and trust
That she would ever care

If time is all it takes than I've got plenty of that
Plenty of that, and I'm a better man
For all the time it takes

The sky has lost its color
Ths sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you're coming back

*I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time til I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
and I'm not ashamed
that with every breath I take I'm calling your name

But I can't take the distance

I still believe my feelings
But sometimes it feels too much
I make believe you're close to me
It ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough

*repeat

I'd breathe fire and I'd breathe free
To be by your side I'd do anything
I can't take the distance

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That's how much you mean to me

*repeat

But I can't take the distance

(It's harder to remeber as long as you're away
then I find solace)

I wonder how the morning came last night
I went insane
I threw some things, I smashed some things
What happens next, I haven't figured out yet

I'm not quite sure what drove me to the madness
bringing on my dark side
Was it me? Was it you and your obnoxious friends
who made me feel defenseless

Couldn't care less about
The things you'll think when I walk out
Couldn't care less about
What happens now
I couldn't care less about
the psycho-babble from your mouth
(the things you'll think when I walk out)
Don't think I care enough to care

Tripped on your diploma
Who knows what could (be this Spring)
Bringing, just bringing to the moon
Somewhere on a country road,
probably killing me
Under broken things,
you found your wings, goodbye

I couldn't care less about
The things you'll think when I walk out
(the things you'll think when I walk out)
Couldn't care less about
what happens now
I couldn't care less about
the psycho-babble from your mouth
(the things you'll think when I walk out)
I don't think I care enough to care

Right now, you've reached the mountain
Deny yourself the fountains at...
Exit 41
Gold-blue cavern that hides the sun so well

I Couldn't care less about
the things that you're thinking, you're thinking when I walk out
I couldn't care less about
what happens now
I couldn't care less about
(the things that you're thinking, you're thinking when I walk out)
The things you'll think when I walk out
Couldn't care less about
what happens now
I couldn't care less about
(same "thinking" part as above)
the psycho-babble from your mouth
Don't think I care enough to care, to care
Oh, I couldn't care less about
(same "thinking" part again)
The things you'll think when I walk out
Couldn't care less about
What happens now, what happens now, what happens now

Oh, woah woah-woah woah-woah(chant with song) 5x

(music fade out)

if nature sold herself on layaway
in a little town
I would be the first in line
and buy myself a sound
a waterfall a tidal wave or a breathing of the trees
a heavy wind a thunder or a falling of the leaves
and I would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
in a press conference held
downtown
when the people would look at me
in distain I would simply tell them this
at least you'll have someone to blame for
ruining your weekend
I would play mother nature
unlease my sound at will
no more sitting and waiting
on this cracked window sill
if I feel like love
I will shake the trees
if I'm consumed in lonliness then
I will drop the leaves
and I would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
in a press conference held
downtown
when the people would look at me
in distain I would
simply say outright
at least you have someone
to blame for scaring
the children in the night
what if I call for a waterfall
some light rain
and some other owner calls
for a massive hurricaine
we'd have to be responsible users
and respect the rules of God
I'll just take a load off and
have to buy them all
and I would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
in a press conference held
downtown
when the people would look at me
in distain I would
simply say
at least you have someone
to blame for a near perfect day

I plan to take every moment that you are
And hang them on the wall
I can't explain what you did to me
But I can frame it all

And when I say goodnight
I'll find you there
Starring at me with those eyes
And walking me to the bedroom

And ohhh,
I wish I could see you back
I hope you're fine wherever you are
And know that I think about you all the time

I, I smile through the blue for you
Even though it's hard to stay awake some days
And baby I smile sometimes through the blue for you
Even though I know you're a million miles away

I had to leave work again early today
Everyone thinks I'm lazy
I had to be home when you go there
I must be going crazy

And when I say goodnight
I'll find you there
Starring at me with those eyes
And walking me to the bedroom

And ohhh,
I wish I could see you back
I hope you're fine wherever you are
That you're with me all the time

I, I smile through the blue for you
Even though it's hard to stay awake some days
And baby I smile sometimes through the blue for you
Even though I know you're a million miles away

Sometimes I wake up to the sweet sounds of the earth
I wonder, is that you
Sometimes in the morning when I order my coffee
I order one for you

(guitar solo)

Babdy I, I smile through the blue for you
Even though it's hard to stay awake some days
Baby I smile through the blue for you
Even though I know you're a million miles away
And I'll never understand why you went away...

It sure looked good on paper
Until we read between the lines
It always hurts when you find
You're running out of "laters" and "maybe next times"
When you can almost read her mind

She likes the romance
The slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
Hangs out with the guys
That's what I know about what she likes

She's all about the rainbow
But not the one on Sunset Boulevard
I got it wrong, she took it hard
And it really hurts to let go
When you're so close
To making it so far

She likes the romance
The slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
Hangs out with the guys
That's what I know about what she likes

I should've known that I
Never could've known that I
Could ever know enough about her
To keep her mine

....................

She likes the romance
The slow dance
That keeps me up all night
She likes the Christmas lights up all year round
And I just took 'em down
She watches baseball
Hates the mall

And now I realized...
what the hell do I know
about what she likes

She likes the romance
The slow dance
The staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put 'em up, take 'em down?
She watches baseball
Hates the mall
Hangs out with the guys

its what she likes....

softly I hear you call
and surely you're after it all
you tell me you know just who I am
that's a felony
cause no one can
I can only look back when I stand all on my own
I know a friend
and I'll tell you when I see one
I'm reaching back again
can I make it if I run
where were you when I was naked in the cold
where were you when my thoughts were growing old
where were you
the train has left the station
with no chartered destination
if you don't have a ticket in your hand
it's too late to ride
cause I've already closed the ticket stand
where were you when I was naked in the cold
where were you when my thoughts were growing old
where were you
softly I hear you call
and surely you're after it all
you tell me you know just who I am
that's a felony
cause no one can
and theres something that I really want to know
its building up inside
where did you go
where were you when I was naked in the cold
where were you when my thoughts were growing old
where were you
