Nada Surf

And so we meet and there are sparks,
Its gold it's new and free from sharks,
Your house is big it seems so clean,
Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet.

Are you lightning?
'Cause I'm waiting.
What's the timing?
I'm not playing.

And so I act like I'm 21,
Wide eyed and drifting unto sun,
Pay back is here my legs are numb,
I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb.

The sweet things,
When do they come?
Have I gone deaf?
What's the song?
Are you lightning?
'Cause I'm waiting,
This is frightening,
I'm not playing.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
I see you through the mirror
You sing we're not to steal.

The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep,
I know where you are, I dunno where you are.
Don't make the other wonder the others might sting,
Tell me what you're thinking,
Do not let me twist.
Just look at the size of you.

I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
I see you with something that's funny I hear you I almost weep,

I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street,
But just look at the size of you.

I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
I see you from my steps you're walking up my street.

And just look at the size of you,
The sun shine on and on...
The sun shine on and on...

Do you ever feel like you just landed on this earth?
You see the creatures all do their dances back and forth
You get restless and then you join them on the floor
Suddenly it's tomorrow

It's not today anymore (X2)

Chorus:

You talk to the ceiling every day
The speakers are shaking
Why do i hear you okay?
They're playing soul at the wrong speed
It sounds right now
What are you doing to me?

D'you ever feel like what we call real life is not so real?
Tripping up on the same old problems you had last year
We'll pretend it's another planet not so uptight
The stars are shining above the city every night
They come every night

Chorus (x1)

Where are we going?
I don't care
Our friends all left
Let's go anywhere
It's getting late
I don't care
It's just you and me
Let's go anywhere

Clusters of people talking secretly to each other
In a bar you cannot talk openly
To anyone you don't already know
4-year-olds, they've got the right idea
They jump the line and hit it on the nose

When we sit and we get quiet
Then we look and see who's home across the way
There are 80 windows we can see
It's Christmastime and they all have the same tree

You tell me the patterns you already see
I wonder if they see us in our bed
You said you like the one
With the father who always eats with his son
I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm
I feel far away from you, so what else is new?
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone

When we sit and we get quiet
Then we look and see who's home across the way

You said you like the one
With the father who always eats with his son
I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm
I feel far away from you, so what else is new?
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone

I feel far away from you, so what else is new?
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone

All of a sudden I
Lost the lie
I let myself believe
I'd be a brand new guy
But holy shit I'm just a door

Well...
I helped you to see out
of your hole
Got the gas on in your house
because you turned to coal

When you're back up on
your feet
You'll move right past me
You're makin' plans with my friends
I know they're great
It's a little late to let me down

Oh no... I better go
You set the tone
You just don't know
You're scratching it in stone

I better wash my clothes
Take a bath
Move up and down the hall
untill I find my class
So I can be myself again
This movie has gotta end... (x3)

Do do..
do do do do do do(x3)

This movie has gotta end... (x5)

Oh... yeah...(x4) (fades out)

Do you ever feel like you just landed on this earth?
You see the creatures all do their dances back and forth
You get restless and then you join them on the floor
Suddenly it's tomorrow

It's not today anymore (X2)

Chorus:

You talk to the ceiling every day
The speakers are shaking
Why do i hear you okay?
They're playing soul at the wrong speed
It sounds right now
What are you doing to me?

D'you ever feel like what we call real life is not so real?
Tripping up on the same old problems you had last year
We'll pretend it's another planet not so uptight
The stars are shining above the city every night
They come every night

Chorus (x1)

Where are we going?
I don't care
Our friends all left
Let's go anywhere
It's getting late
I don't care
It's just you and me
Let's go anywhere

The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound

Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
If I had wings, I'd follow you up there

Girl you know I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
But the sunlight follows you right down the road

Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
This deep well of tears has just run dry

You showed me just how easy love could be

You showed me just how silly love could be
But everything, you showed me gracefully

Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
If not now, then at the end of your life-time

You'll be waiting by my bed I know
You'll be waiting by my bed I know
And your last little words will be i love you so

The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound

The fox, the fox
Lied
Eyes under my prize

The fox, the fox
Lied
Fox eyes under my prize

We're in a different war
With ourselves, and with some of you
So many things that don't hold true

With the fear that dims our light
With the barnacles on our right

On the grass, beachy head
On the cliff to which you've been lead
The curve of the hill is green and soft
As if the wind would hold you aloft

Its how you feel for me now, not how you felt
Its how you deal with envy, not how you dealt

Recognise and send away, set it asail
Serenity inside of me

We're in a different war
With ourselves, and with some of you
So many things that can't be true

On the grassy beachy head
On the cliff where you were laid
The curve, the hill is green and soft
As if the wind would hold you

Serenity inside of me
Set asail

But you'll sail alone
If you don't hold the rope
You'll go alone

I am made of Sopwith Camel
Sherman PT-17, sixty and cloudy, I go slow
Compared to modernity I am a humming bee
Sweater-weather and
Hugs and drugs and movies

But baby ice
Is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
You rolled the dice but
You didn’t know anything
Underneath the oxide
Underneath the oxide
It’s all the same song

I am made of no newspapers
When the V-1 buzzing stopped
Only prayers
I am made of young curiosity, deluded piety
Double-whiskey for the men
Don’t talk to thy neighbour
If they don’t take your same lord as saviour
In a songless meeting house
Proud to be the only ones
Who get saved in the end
From hugs and drugs and movies

But baby ice
Is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
You rolled the dice but
You didn’t know anything

What if I start now?
Just like someone’s watching me
Somebody’s watching me
What if I start now?
Just like someone’s watching me

But baby ice
Is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
Underneath the oxide
Underneath the oxide
Underneath the oxide
It’s all the same

Here comes the hot feeling again
When i hear his name
I clearly have no control
Can't help wondering

If herein gone like a wave
I forget but then, start rememberin'
The devil in my mind, why can't he go home
Are we on our way

I do not want to be in this song
So while the summer rats and their hats high

Where is the wind
Why does it feel still again
Can't think along these lines
I'm gonna live a long time
Not along these lines
I'm gonna live a long time

When it goes black it goes black so fast
No good state lads

What i get slow is how to bounce back
You'll have to invent what you lack

Now I turn to the seasons, the sleeping demons
I want your attention, your infection
For every new reason, do you know how i need it?

Oh your face and everything that you say
And Oh your face and everything that you say
And Oh your face and everything that you say

I almost washed us out talking to me
The call came like a wave of relief
I'm such a lucky mess
I just need some rest

Take me along
From now on
Take me along
From now on

I'm gonna live a long time (x3)

Emergency above
Put on your hard hats and invisible gloves
What's going on
I was on the wagon, I thought I was done
You have to watch out
When one falls in, another came out

You say, I like what you say
I like what you say
You say, I like what you say
I like what you say

They say you have to have somebody
They say you have to be someone's
They say if you're not lonely alone, boy there is something wrong

You say, I like what you say

I like what you say
You say, I like what you say
I like what you say

You say, baby, I only what to make you happy
Baby, I only want to make you

They say, you learn from your mistakes
That's not always the case
I see them and I understand
How I made them again and again

They say you have to have somebody
They say you have to be someone's
They say if you're not lonely alone, boy there is something wrong

You say, I like what you say
I like what you say
You say, I like what you say
I like what you say

You say, baby, I only want to make you happy
Baby, I only what to make you

hands up who thinks it's now
home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright
it's never too late if you know how
we got our own brand of hyperspace
you cannot change anyone
there is no peace, there's only sun
when you want to go, i know you will
and i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way
there's no right and there's no wrong
there's just the balance of the things you know

Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless
If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere
and don't dream, that is a dream it is what it seems

Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,
That is a dream it is what it seems
That is a dream it is what it seems

Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated

Water skiing, the waters hot, the waters soft
You act nice, a black birthday card I threw it away

Correct life, is like eating speed or flying a plane
It's too bright, it's too bright

Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless
If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere
Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,
That is a dream it is what it seems
That is a dream it is what it seems

Why do black hats hide behind each others backs all the time?
Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated

Look around, what a mess
Anybody's guess
Here goes something
Yeah here goes something
Now change programs
Here goes something

Gravity's, big success
No one's taken off yet
Changing speeds, What a ride

Stir up your insides
Your majesty
Your majesty
Your majesty
Where we mean

Chasing light, dawn to bed
It came to me instead
Chasing light, dawn to bed
It came to me instead

Leave me alone, and there'll be
No one to get hurt
Nobody move and there'll be
Nothin' to disturb
The sum of it all is that you
Don't know where to turn
Despite all your promises you
Don't keep what you learn

Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress

Sometimes all i want is another
Drink or another pill
If i could get anything done
Maybe I'd hold still
I'm trying to levitate I'm
Trying to leave the ground
Tryin' to remember when i could
Fix anything with sound

Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress


I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I want to redirect myself with you
Do you understand?

Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress

(Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress)

I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I gotta reinvent myself for you
Can i be your man?
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that i can
I wanna redirect myself with you
'Cause you understand

Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress

I walk like you guide me, my eyes
Are shut like I'm blind
Turn to you and listening and tryin'
To be in your mind
There's a feeling that I get
When I look to the west
'Bout having all the answers
Still failing the test

Wolf packs and convoys and
Captains of men
Surprised in translation
World without end
Welcome back to real life
The picture is gone
Put a contract out on things that go on and on
How do you stay where
You most want to be?
Where'd you get the patience
Did it come easily?

ahhhhhh
ahhhhhh
ahhhhhh

On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
There's none that I can see
On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
No one speaks to me
On whose authority
I have none over me ...
ahhhhhhh

All the tales with paper heroes
The ones who dyed the sun
And called it yellow
The ones who made you run

On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
There's none that I can see
On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
None that' speaks to me
On whose authority
I have none over me ...
ahhhhhhh

Everyone's right
And no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning

Everyone's right
And no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
And life is just bets anyway

Look alive
See these bones
What you are now we were once

Try it as they the might
No one is immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
And thinking this time to re-do ,re-do

I feel rain in the movies
And the talk before the screen lights
I hear strings in the park
I don't like to call or write
Except when it's too late at night
And mostly just think in the dark

Look alive
See these bones
What you are now we were once
Just like we are
You will be dust
Just like we are
Permanent

You look too tired to eat
to hungry too sleep

Just imagine the speed
It's just what you need

Look alive
And see these bones
What you are now
We were once
And just like we are
You'll be dust
Just like we are
Permanent

The lights in the city
Are more or less blinking
This side of the story
Decides what you are thinking
Warm arms and cold faces
we're squinting, we're hurrying
We take inventory
We're digging, we're burying.

Do you remember when the light was low?
Do you remember it fell?
Do you remember when we went through her house?
Remember ringing the bell?

Look alive
See these bones
What you are now
We were once
Just like we are
You'll be dust
Just like we are
Permanent

why do i worry, what do they think?
what is she saying to them?
i can't ignore anything.
you're eating up my world like my every second was haunted.
were you just like this since you were a girl, cause it's all i've ever wanted.

i'm just like you, peel away the layers two by two.
you're just like me, piling on the pressure three by three.
we're almost done shutting out the voices one by one.

why do i worry, what do they think?
what is she telling her friends? i can't ignore anything.
i'm planning out my moves like my every second was graded.
i'm obsessed, i get no rest.
