Syd

I'm not so weak
Or so you seem to think
You walk right by
The words trip on my pride
There was a time when nothing went my way
Feels like that now
But really I feel ok

I ran right in
To a storm inside your eyes
Pick up the keys
And then just start to drive
The road blurs by
Every tear is like a clue
I pick them up
And follow them back to you

I do
Really I feel ok
I'm fine
This is gonna make me strong

I'm not so strong
Or so I seem to think
You walk right by
And I make my knees get weak
This time, stand tall
See what it does do you
You walk right by
And nobody has a clue

I do
Really I feel ok
I'm fine
This is why I'm moving on

I'm picking up pieces
Little bit by little bit
And I haven't done this in a while
I'm seeing old places
Take a hit of small town news
Don't want to be here tonight
I'm dealing with ghosts
I guess we're gonna find out now
Nobody here to catch my fall
I'm playing house host
To a different feeling every night
I've never been so alone in a bed.

And there's nothing new to see
Just new eyes to cry with
Losing her's like pulling teeth
We both know
This lovesick life has got to go
But I don't want to be alone

I'm staying out later
Blurry eys make brand new thoughts
Shouldn't be driving tonight
Faces fade faster
If you don't see them every time
You turn a corner in this place
And her name takes forever everytime I think it
It leaves a little trail of thoughts behind
Lover to friend seems easy when you say it
I think we made it work last night

And there's nothing new to see
Just new eyes to cry with
Losing her's like pulling teeth
We both know
This lovesick life has got to go
But I don't want to be alone

And there's nothing new to see
Just new eyes to cry with
Losing her's like pulling teeth
We both know
This lovesick life has got to go
But I don't want to be alone

Well it's awhite moon in December skies
The cold air makes it inside
And these street lamps they leave no suprise
But help me get deep into your eyes

There's something about the way you disappear
6:45 on a Saturday
And everytime that train takes you away
I go blind until the next time you stay

Missed the bus another time
Keeping you away some kinda a game
He came and left a note in my hands
I wonder, does this man feel the same?
Can he feel the same way?

Something about the way you never came
6:45 on a Saturday
And this time you say the train just never came
So I'll wait until the next time you stay

Well these blue eyes, dark nights, take me away
I feel so alone inside your arms
Weekdays, weak knees leave me tired
And you're gone until the next time....

March or April I always forget
Doesn't matter spring will never come
Sat alone in a subway again
Just want to go back home

Something about the way we ended here
6:45 on a Saturday
This train takes me deeper underground
And I'm alone and you can't call and say

Blue eyes, and these dark nights, take me away
I feel so alone inside your arms
Cuz these weekdays, and these weak knees leave me tired
And you're gone until the next time....

And the wind outside is painful
And there's that man I used to know
Drumming buckets like it's Friday
I guess he doesn't know
That time stands still for no one
Not on a bright December night
It's funny how this winter sky
Makes me wish that you were right

And you know me well enough
To know I don't want to go
But I know the winter snow
Don't fall
Down the coast of Mexico

And sometimes I feel like fighting
All this frost on my mind
It's hard to remember
The cooling rain in hot july
But nothing seems as easy
As saying you'll say goodbye
And nothing comes so hard
As when you start to cry

And you know me well enough
To know I don't want to go
But I know the winter snow
Don't fall
Down the coast of Mexico

And i know it seems impossible
Everything's impossible these days
I know it seems like it's been years
Since I saw you--maybe it has
I know I said I'd never forgive you
I'll never forgive you, at least not yet

Now it's easy to let go
And now it's easy to say no
And everything gets clearer now
But strange enough I can't get out and you and YOU

And it hardly seems unfair to say
You broke my heart and I'm walking away
I know I said I'll never love you
I'll always love you, that's why I hate tonight

Now it's harder to let go
And now it's harder to say no
And now I'm in I can't get out
But strange enough it's clearer now and you and YOU

And i know it seems impossible
Everything's impossible these days
I know I said I'll never love you
I'll always love you, that's why I hate tonight
I hate tonight, I hate tonight, I hate tonight

So here we are into what seems like forever
Look how this goes
So here I am in what seemed like it'd never
Look how no one knows
So are we gonna prove em wrong all over again?
One year so close
I wouldn't give you up for anything you know
Unless of course you chose

It's funny how nothing ever comes out the way I plan
It's funny how you always come out right in the end
And it's funny how what's hard to see
Now will never
Be this clear again

So everything that I thought that I knew
Nothing to lose
And everytime that I turn around to face you
I thought that this was true
So is everything just gonna stay the same?
Sometimes these things just go away
I would've done it all over this way
Unless of course you'd changed

It's funny how nothing ever comes out the way I plan
It's funny how you always come out right in the end
And it's funny how what's hard to see
Now will never
Be this clear again

So I read all your letters
I read every word
And I took all the best ones
Circled every word I heard
If I'd heard it in a phone call
Or I heard it in a song
And as I walked to your apartment
I tried to figure what went wrong

There was a party that night
I walked in uninvited
Was a girl in the corner
Who looked like she liked me
And I didn't know her name
But she said she knew mine
And nothing really mattered
And that was the first time
The first time

And I remembered your voice
And I remembered what you said
And I remembered how this killed me
With every tear that I bled
With every step came a memory
And every breath sang along
And as I walked up to your front door
I think I knew where I went wrong

There was a party that night
I walked in uninvited
Was a girl in the corner
Who looked like she liked me
And I didn't know her name
But she said she knew mine
And nothing really mattered
And that was the next time
That was the next time

Remembered every word she said
Remembered everything I'd left
And her eyes are clear like those tears that She gave me
And so it starts over again
Again

There was a party that night
I walked in uninvited
Was a girl in the corner
Who looked like she liked me
And I didn't know her name
But she said she knew mine
And nothing really mattered
And that was the next time

A party that night
I walked in uninvited
Was a girl in the corner
Who looked like she liked me
And I didn't know her name
But she said she knew mine
And nothing really mattered
And that was the next time

There was a party that night
I walked in uninvited
Was a girl in the corner
Who looked like she liked me
And I didn't know her name
But she said she knew mine
And nothing really mattered
And that was the last
That's the last time
Baby I promise it's the last time
The last time
That's the last time

Sleeping in saturdays
Taking time to get to know your face
Breathing in your smell on me
I'm addicted you know to vanilla these days
Butterfly kisses and the promise you'll spend all night this time
I just want to say thank you
For taking a chance on a feeling inside
So here's a love song for all the times you felt second place
And here's a love song for all the smiles that come when i see your face
Here's a love song
I walk into the winter night
The city lights take the place of stars in your eyes
I lost the moon again
Or i'll stop looking i guess
When love caught me by surprise
You're gonna be hard to get over
So i won't i don't think for a very long time
And in the summer
I'll warm your bed if you can promise you'll warm mine
And here's a love song for all the times i fell into your eyes
And here's a love song for all the things you taught me last night
Here's a love song
Here's a love song for all the things that you never said
Here's a love song for the night you left your place at the end of my bed
Here's a love song

Taking time from the sweet sleep
Slide down, I'd fall right to me knees
She holds on tight now
Let the whole world spin right into me
You build me up inside

Turn around take the face off
Don't gotta like what you see
Walking here turns my heart round
Her hand keeps the whole world steady

Don't you let it
Get you down because
You build me up inside

Better watch what you wish for
Trust me, it comes before you know
I can't remember
Ever wanting to say no to you
Cuz you build me up inside
Build me up

Don't you let it
Get you down because
You build me up inside
You build me up inside

I've been holding my breath because you told me to
If the summer's gonna come then me and you
Better get in the car we'll just drive out
Far enough away so they can't find out
What it means to be alive

Sun soaks in and your skin smells warm
Like the last time I tried to move on
Game plays on, standing outside our door
But we stand strong, don't need this anymore (cuz we know)
What it means to be alive

So you left without a Dear John letter
Late at night on a fourth of july
Didn't tell us, just walked away
I never heard a "goodbye"
People say it'll never be the same here
I think they might be half right
And there's a part of me (truly the best of me)
That hopes it's gonna be fine

Tell me it's changing
There's a better way
To get some blue from the grey

I got the rest of my life to get some good sleep at night
But for now I will wait
I'm gonna wait for the time
When we're all sleeping just fine
Maybe there's a better way

Faces come faces go like the city
Nobody sees past the grave
Hope is here for today not forever
If it stays it's a waste
You never wore so thin as the other ones
You'd always say what you meant
I wanna be the one who discovers
What were you fighting for? why can't you fight anymore?

I don't know when it happened
Maybe I never did
But you're always in my heart
That's what you said

I thought of this song while I was sleeping in your arms
Late last night night
What I wanted to say was I love you forever
But it didn't come out right
All I could say was I'm cold give me covers
Could you turn out the light?
And we laughed at ourselves for our serious nature
And what could have been a fight

You know I've been watching you all day long
The way we look at each other
The way you sing our songs
I can't wait till we get home
Because that's when I know
At the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby

When you walk down the street they all stop and they stare
You know the way it is out there
He's either looking at you or he's looking at me
Get in the car, give me the keys
Let's drive down the middle of the city block
Roll down these windows and show them what I got
I found this sweet thing out there
But she's mine and not yours so what do you care?

I'm the one who calls you baby in the morning
I'm the who gets to tuck you in at night
I'm the one who says baby forever Baby together
Everything's just fine

You know I've been watching you all day long
The way we laugh at each other
The way you sing our songs
I can't wait till we get home
Because that's when I know

At the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby

Thought of this song while I was sleeping in your arms
Late last night
What I wanted to say was I love you forever
But it didn't come out right

You know I've been watching you all day long
The way we look at each other
The way you sing our songs
I can't wait till we get home
Because that's when I know
At the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby

So I'm walking down the avenue
Holding on so tight to what I said to you
In between my jaw and my belly where it burns
Is what I meant to do
Taking it in take a hit on the chin
Keep your chin up, nothing's forever
Baby your loving can change like the weather
Everybody got their problems

That's how I know
You know how love goes

But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you

That's how I know
You know how love goes

Playing the games, we were born to play
You go this way I'll go away
Till you stop baby you never listen
How you know what you have been missing?
Your loving can keep us together
Everybody got their brighter side
You just gotta hope it'll be alright

Still it's all that I wait for
These years that I'd hoped for
The keeping together, the falling apart
It's you that I'll be for, forever each other
Together through nights we will see through the dark

That's how I know
You know how love goes

But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you

But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you

You can never know
You know how love goes

What did you do with my loneliness
What did you do with my cloudy skies?
What did you do with everything I was baby what can you do with that love?

There you go doing it again

You call me up you're on the phone
You need me there you're all alone
I would if i could but there's a little complication
My life's got me in a sticky situation
There's the people I love and the things that I do
It all comes together to keep me from you

You tell me all about the things you miss
You tell me what's on your mind
I might turn right around and head Straight back to town if you keep feeding me those lines

So I'm moving one one town one day
Lines are blurring slowly fade away
And I always feel a little forgotten
You give me something that you've never wanted

It's nice to know that I've been there before
But nothing's changed
I'm at the bottom again,
And I'm watching myself falling back in
You know all that you said wasn't true
Just blaming the world for what happens to you

So we're talking we're here again
I'm just waiting, things come crashing in
And I always feel a little bit hopeless
I try my best and you never notice

At least you know I've been there before
I'm trying to change
I'm at the bottom again,
And I'm watching myself falling back in
You know all that you said wasn't true
Just blaming the world for what happens to you

I am edging toward the ocean
One step at a time
I am holding my breath watching for water
Honey give me a sign
A wink of an eye I'm getting closer
Walk away I'm landlocked as I can be

I want to be the one who discovers
I want to feel the water carry me
Carry me to you (I'm gonna find you)
Carry me to you (you're all I need)
Carry me to you (I'm gonna save you)
Carry me to you (come back to me)

I am searching on the fault lines
For a crack in the door
A tremor I know I'm on to something
A quake and I found what I was looking for
Come back to me
I almost lost you

Driving home on a black night highway
And it comes back to me
Nights sitting in the sun room hometown
Just you and me
We got the people on the left and the guitar on the right
We got ourselves a party
We played all night back then and here I am driving home

I'm just getting started, how about you?
I'm just getting started, how about you?

You were gonna be a roadie for Nirvana
I was gonna be on MTV
We were gonna throw the ultiimate party
If we ever got a high school degree
You were gonna marry your girlfriend
I was never gonna fall in love
We were gonna get out of here
We knew it wasn't all there was

In the country, the city
The bright lights, the big town
The big ups, the big down
Baby I've been all around
And below and wherever I go
It's enough just to know
You're never gonna let me down

Tick tock to the never gonna stop rock
Get out gonna never get give it up
Everybody do it some more

Blast my way right through your eyes with these words I feel alright: "I'm leaving you tonight".
Taking me for granted came so easy I was always there you can't deny it
Guess it comes as a shock to you, over and over "what did I do"
Can't explain it I feel it I need to believe me I'm leaving you

Your words fall on my heart and I'm losing ground
Your tears tears me apart but I don't want to turn around

Guess this is what I get for my leaving you...
Right now

Makeup running down your face, I miss your touch need your taste-can't go back now
Begging me you plead with me, wishing I would never leave, almost at the door now
What can I do but stay with you you never mean the things you do
No I can't believe that
What you want it's never fair it's what you get you're never there
You're alone again

Your words fall on my heart and I'm losing ground
Your tears tear me apart but I don't want to turn around

I keep telling you that I'm leaving now
Somehow I'm still here
I want you to know I'm leaving now

He's been tired.
Tired of the way that she holds him down
But h's too worn out
To ever say how he really feels
So he goes through the days
And nothing ever happens
And she hopes nothing will
She knows he'll never be happy
And he knows that now he can't pretend anymore
She thinks he's fine
But he dreams at night
Of so much more

He dreams all night
Dreams about the day he can leave this life
But the time's not right
This town has everything that's he's seen
So now tonight he's packing up and moving away
For the first time ever
Nothing's gonna get in his way
Nothing's gonna get in his way

So he drives all night
Nothing fazes him anymore
At the first sunlight he stops the car and opens the door
And the tears they come deeper now than oin the past
Like his first sunrise
And nothing ever happened so fast
She knows that now he's really gone for good
Back at home
All she can do is
Wish that she could

She dreams all night
Dreams about the day she can leave this life
But the time's not right
This town has everything that's she's seen
So now tonight she's packing up and moving away
For the first time ever
Nothing's gonna get in her way
Nothing's gonna get in her way

no, no.
And you dream all night
Dream about the day you can leave this life.
But the time's not right
This town has everything that you've seen
So now tonight
Just pack it up and move it away
For the first time ever
Nothing's gonna get in your way
Now baby
Nothing's gonna get in your

You dream all night
Dream about the day you can leave this life
But the time's not right
This town has everything that you've seen
So why not tonight
Just pack it up and move it away?
For the first time ever
Nothing's gonna get in your way
Now baby
I'm not gonna get in your way
No, no
Your way
no,no
I'm not gonna get in your way.

Another night another room another phone call
One more day
Another road another sign by my window
Counting miles away

I'd come back I would
I would come right back to your arms
If I only could

So long hard roads
Wake me up when we're home
Wake me up when we're home

Yesterday is today is tomorrow the next day Is the same
As I wander these miles I wonder
Should I have stayed

I would turn around
I would come right back your way
Just not today

So long hard roads
I'm coming back home
So long hard roads
Wake me up when we're home

I might turn around
I'll come back some day
I might turn around
I'll be home some day

So long hard roads
I'm coming back home
I'm coming back home
