The Like

Walking through the past
But I don't think of some other boys
Sometimes I just found
That they keep sticking up from the hives

Closing at the wims
I suppose it's supposed to take some more time
Then why do I find
That they've closed every door on our lives?

Cause I know you're the only one for me
Quit standing in my sleep

Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what I mean

Something haunts my dreams
Don't know what it means

Itching at the scabs
Only makes my troubles run high
Cause scratching in the sheets
Makes the bark much worse than the bite

Itching for a fight
It's your nasty running over my spine
Cause the doors are open
And they keep floating back to my mind

And I know you're the only one for me
Quit standing in my dreams

Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what I mean

Something haunts my sleep
Don't know what it means

Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what I mean

I squeeze my wrists
My arm just snapped
I'm melting back and forth
I'm inbetween

I squeezed my wrist
My arm just snapped
I'm melting back and forth
I'm inbetween

Waiting alone in the darkness
Racing for something
Hoping it stays
Watching the waves
Watch as they break
Leaving you nothing
Waiting to wake

Lost in disarray
Wakes that never fade
And you walking on by
You can't deny
You're making no change
Oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
Cuz neither am I

Waiting alone in the darkness
Racing for someone
Hoping they stay
Watching the days
Watch as they fade
Leaving you nothing
Waiting to wake

Lost in disarray
Waves that never break
And you walking on by
You can't deny
You're making no change
Oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
Cuz neither am I

Break me or something
Cuz I'm fading away
Am I waiting for nothing?
Am I dead or awake
Cuz I won't wait
But I won't break
Cuz...

Waiting alone in the darkness
Smiling and falling
Too frightened to say
We can't live this way
We can't still obey
When all's come to nothing
Who can still wait?

Lost in endless days
Waves that never break
And you walking on by
You can't deny
You're making no change
Oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
Cuz neither am I

I'm waiting
Wind has blown away my breath
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm staying
Though you're acting like I've left
I'm gone, I'm gone

In the crowd I'm drowning
No one's around me, eh
In your arms my whole world
Is falling away

My armor
Left in bottles on the floor
Can't hide anymore
My shadow
Some are darker than before
Can't see anymore

In the crowd I'm drowning
No one surrounds me, eh
Seeing blind
My whole world
Is falling away, hey

And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay

I'm waiting
Fear is pulsing in my breath
I'm gone, I'm gone

In the crowd I'm drowning
No one's around me, eh
And it's lost, surrounding
I'm falling away, hey

And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say
You couldn't stop to stay
Oh, stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay

You couldn't stop, no no
You couldn't stop, no no
You couldn't stop

And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay

I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting

I'm waiting...

Look
Look at them go
Thinking they know
Are they sure?
Cruel
Cruel are their ways
Numbered their days
You can't repay
Watch
Watch as they run
The race has been won
They're dying to play
You
Watching their crying
Checking their time
As slowly they die

You feed me a line
We'll travel to the sky
But you leave me behind
I could never run away
No, I could never run away
This time

Watch
As gypsy girls play
Pirates boys stay
You turn to hate
Sneak
To backward hotels
Making their hell
Before it's too late
Catch
The worker bees go
Sinking so low
Each one alone
Watch
As their worlds collide
And you're stuck inside
Keep them alive

You feed me a line
We'll travel to the sky
But you leave me behind
I could never run away
No, I could never run away
This time...

Now I know
What haven't I been told
World is crying so loud
Stuck and sick
And my wings been clipped
Lift me up
Off the ground
Hear...
Hear me now

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh...

I'm not shouting
I'm just talking
You're not listening
You're just looking
Take one in to
Get another
In one ear and
Out the other

I'll stop here
I'll stay there
I'll never be
The one you love

Count your losses
Stop your whining
Must admit you've perfect timing
I'll just wait here
For an answer
Your opinion
Still advancing

I'll stop here
I'll stay there
I'll never be
The one you love
The one you love

I'm not shouting
I'm just talking
I'm not shouting
You're not listening
I'm just talking
You're just talking

I'll stop here
I'll stay there
I'll never be
The one you love

I'll stop it
I'll stay there
I'll never be
The one you love
The one you love

The one you love
The one you love
The one you love

We are lost
On an LA county night
We are lost
In the shadows of our ties
We'll just drive
Til we make it back in time
We'll just drive
Through the highways of our minds

And it looks my way
And I hear you say
It in my mind
But you're not mine

I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
And I know
That I'm wasting all my time

We can't hear
Through the stereo's uproar
I can't hear
(exactly played what I abhor)
So I'm tied
To the things I adore
It's drowning out
My mind's objective roar

And he's coming closer still
And I consequently feel
It in my heart
That we're apart

I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
And I know
That I'm wasting all my time
Cuz you're not mine
Oh...oh...oh...

We've been going back and forth
I'm waiting for the day you call me
I think I can do it on my own
Swinging like a pendulum
The time ticks by until it's gone
I'm thinking that
The sun has never shown

Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running out
Going into shock
Cuz you're
Too late
Too late
Too late
Oh oh oh oh oh

Never quite the effort-maker
I see you're not nearly ready
I think I can do it on my own
Just too late and still too little
I just seemed to miss you crawling
Never thought the day would come I know

Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running out
Going into shock
Cuz you're
Too late
Too late
Too late
Oh oh oh oh oh

Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running out
Going into shock
Cuz you're
Too late
Too late
Too late

You're too late
Too late
Too late
You're too late
Not quite
The same
Oh oh oh oh oh...

Somewhere was a different kind of time
When children weren't too bored to
Lose their lives
For change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?

Cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to regain that kind of fire

And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard?
You talk to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do

I had always thought it was a crime
To still own slaves within such modern times
But who am I to question such a life?
When I still own my own place in the line

And what could make a person wish to fight
When dazzling lights have overwhelmed his sight

And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la

Somewhere there's a different kind of time, -ime
When children weren't too bored to
Lose their lives
For change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?

Cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to reclaim that kind of fire

And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only (ornament) left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do

Ooh ooh
Ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh...

I put a wager on uncertainty
It's funny when you wager how you feel
I hit the breaking point
Then broke on through
I'm never certain when it comes to you

Once things look up
I come falling down
Too deep to take a step
And look around
Once things look up
I come falling down

I bottle up the pieces
(and repair)
But every time we break
I'm building still
Stand back and marvel at what we have made
It's hard to notice when you run away

Once things look up
I come falling down
Too deep to take a step
I'm buried now
Once things look up
I come falling down

Wouldn't it nice
If we could both be right
So we could go to bed each day
Without a single fight
And we would be alright
And you could say goodnight
Instead of just
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye

Ah...

Once you look up
Sun will hide your frowns
Too light to see the dark
So hidden now

Once things look up
I come falling down
I try and nothing's there
Behind the clouds
Ah..

Once I look up
All comes falling down

Wake up
It's over again
The day is getting colder
Head aches, my mind breaks
Kicked the covers on the floor
Downstairs
They're laughing
Everybody's seeming happy
I say it's too early
To smile, I haven't done that in a while

Cuz I can't see your face any longer
Not a trace any longer
I can't hide
I'm not laughing anymore
I can't be who you wanted me to be
Who you wanted me to see
I don't know now what's in store
Anymore

Flashbacks of times past
I would just forget to make it last
Turning on the lights
I'm waiting
Nothing seems to be changing
Books are on the desk
Blank papers
Every sign of life just seems to taper

Cuz I can't see your face any longer
Not a trace any longer
I can't hide
I'm not laughing anymore
I can't be who you wanted me to be
Who you wanted me to see
I don't know now what's in store
Oh...

Hear me out
Nothing's gonna break
Nothing's gonna break me down, me down
Nothing's gonna take
Nothing's gonna take me out
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Has the raining stopped yet?
I don't notice anymore
Look up your face
You join in the rain
As you've never really done before
How can this be stopped when
You just opened up the door
How can I go
Back to my home
Thinking life is such a bore

Interesting
It seems to me
The irony of ecstacy
It's coming down much harder than before
Interesting
When you can see
That normal life's like sleep-walking
Hating all the things you once adored

You wake me up
When you're around
It's just my luck
Can't do without
And when you're gone
Watch as I drown
You bring me down
You bring me down...

Back and forth
I'm walking
I'm in heaven and in hell
Life is asleep
Between the sheets
The person is I can't believe
Back and forth you're walking
You're my heaven and my hell
Keep me awake
Don't wanna sleep
Just until the next farewell

Interesting
It seems to me
The irony of ecstacy
It's coming down much harder than before
Interesting
When you can see
That normal life's like sleep-walking
Not another day
Not another day
Can't take much more

You wake me up
When you're around
It's just my luck
Can't do without
And when you're gone
Watch as I drown
You bring me down
You bring me down...

I squeeze my wrists
My arm just snapped
I'm melting back and forth
I'm inbetween

I squeezed my wrist
My arm just snapped
I'm melting back and forth
I'm inbetween

Sunsets lost in
Skies of hazy greys
June gloom sets in
Puts me in a daze
Nothing changes
All we do is wait
Our heads hanging
Shaking in dismay
Cuz everyone's afraid

Looks like the end of days
But it takes so much more
For anyone to say
We need another way
But if we wanted one
We'd do it just the same

Winter's coming
Still we're soaked in sun
Summer somehow
Split us one by one
Days are darker
Than they've ever been
But who could tell when
Summer never ends
(we've capsized in our end)

Looks like the end of days
But it takes so much more
For anyone to say
We need another way
But if we wanted one
We'd do it just the same

Words don't change a thing
Sun disguises darkness
Wish that I could save you
Wish that I could stop this

Looks like the end of days
But it takes so much more
For anyone to say
We need another way
But if we wanted one
We'd do it just the same

Wake up
It's over again
The day is getting colder
Head aches, my mind breaks
Kicked the covers on the floor

Oh...

Hear me out
Nothing's gonna break
Nothing's gonna break me down, me down
Nothing's gonna take
Nothing's gonna take me out
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
