--Monkey Business--
Well he was always on her mind
And mine was always on her
But from the night
When I crossed their paths
There was a secret down below
But she said
"I'd never do that to you darling..."
"You are my love..."
But as love started to change
For you and me
Well I found it hard to see
Why all the nightmares and
The fevered dreams
That haunted me were plain to see
Unfolding right before my eyes
But you still tried
To cover it with lies
So I guess now
You've got everything you need
And all that you had to do
Was shelter it from me
Now you've got everything
You ever wanted
Oh, but you know that
You've done wrong
And all I have left of you
Is one last song
--Injured Decisions--
Laughter from across the lake,
It beckoned me here
The stars and moon are the audience
And the sky it is so clear
And I still don't know why I'm here, but it's far past late
And so I wait
For a sign of the sun...
But through the trees
I can see the interstate,
But it's too late
For moving cars,
There are only stars,
To light the way
Soon I will be among that grid, where I can think about what I did
Well I ended up alone,
But there are always friends
On the way back home
On the way back home
On the way back home
On the way back home
Cause there are always friends,
Yes, there are always friends
On the way back home...
So if you ever need a friend,
Feel free to stop on by
And let that twinkle in my eye
Help to make your pain subside
And just so you know, yes,
If you need mending
Well my own hands
I would be lending, yes
To see you well, to see you well,
To see you well, to see you well
To see you well, to see you well,
To see you well, to see you well
--Ignorance Is Bliss--
Well my body told me straight
Sometimes you have to be alone
Oh, but foolishly,
I ignored my own advice
But the more time that I spent away
Produced less for them to say
And it helped for me to move on
From that evening to this day
To this day...
So my mind, it told me true
There are some people
That you just can't trust
Oh, but foolishly,
I ignored my own advice
Well, at first...
But I saw the way
That love could find
Corruption in the weaker mind
Of a friend that I used to say
Was the best at one time
But not anymore....
And my heart, it said please
Be more careful with my love
Oh, but foolishly,
I ignored my own advice
Well, at first...
And I let myself fall
Further than I had ever planned
And all I could do was sit and watch
As she slipped on through my hands
She slipped right through my hands
--Brown & Blue--
Well I'm walking in these shoes
The one's I got down in the city
On that trip I took with you
Where we walked around all day
And I told you that
My favorite colors were
Brown & blue
And you sat next to me
On the long ride home
You kept your head
On my shoulder 'til morning...
Well we hopped on a plane
Just to go for the day
To that place that goes hand in hand
With dreams of fame
And then we walked, hand in hand
Until we came to that place
Where the music never sleeps...
Walking in these shoes
The one's I got down in the city
On that trip I took with you
Where we walked around all day
And I told you that
My favorite colors were
Brown & blue
And you sat next to me
On the long ride home
You kept your head
On my shoulder 'til morning...
--Different Reasons For
Changing Seasons--
I watched your lights go out
They all go one by one
And I know that you never lost count
You see the same thing
Every place that you goes, and
All I know is that
I feel at home
Driving through town...
So I guess that
Things didn't work out
But I'm not gonna let
All your shit bring me down
Cause I'm so much better off now
So I guess I was wrong,
Maybe all of this is for the best
But I won't settle for less
Ever again...
O! but, she's got something
That I've never seen
A strong head, a kind heart
And a look, oh so keen
O! but, every mixed up thing
Inside of my head
It gets scrapped and replaced
When I'm faced with
All of your lies...
So now an empty blue
Cardboard container
Rests beside me as a reminder
That I'm intoxicated as you slumber
In a bed that don't belong to you
And I'm strung out,
Staring at your blue face
It says "I can't decide"...
So we keep biting
All the skin off our fingers
We're always making incisions
Which seep and they linger
Past our decisions,
From which we have rendered
Moments of passion
As you touch my skin
Fucking, staring at me
Carrying this
oh so very bad intent...
Oh, But you're still caught up
On a lover
Who follows in
The footsteps of another
A girl that he can name summer
Since he named you after
The season of spring
When every thing's new,
And every blossom is born again
Thats when every thing's new
And every blossom is born again...
--Pretty Girl From Colorado--
Well I'm heading back home,
Down the bridge of Matheson
You know the city lights go out After midnight
Your taste on my lips makes me smile
Your taste on my lips,
It makes me smile...
The night that led me to your house was baron cold
Well I was up on stage,
Trying to hide behind my hair
But you saw through and into my eyes
Yeah you saw through and
Into my eyes...
Fleeting glances
Saw us to your house
And the right words
Put the courage in your mouth
So when you kissed me
Your eyes shined so clear and blue
And you said you loved the way
That mine did too...
Oh pretty girl from colorado,
Now you've got a song
But oh, oh wait no;
She says this is so wrong
But you make it so hard
But you make it so hard
But you make it so hard to go...
--Autumn In My Living Room--
For the third day in a row
I've been without sleep, and
I can't keep my mind from
Wondering about my world
So vast and so damn cold
O! I keep from shivering
By layering my clothes
But I still miss the heat
When I'm on the street
And I can't feel my nose...
O! I can't get out of the cold
Winter's chill came early
And I lost my hard earned gold
Now it seems easier
To disappear into snow
It covers everything
With its white glow...
Well, a hurried autumn
It came to my door
And so I let him in,
The leaves are still
All over the floor
Then I said "Wait, please wait...
There's something I must know"
But He just said "I'm sorry son...
I have got to go"...
O! I can't get out of the cold
Winter's chill came early
And I lost my hard earned gold
Now it seems easier
To disappear into snow
It covers everything
With its white glow...
O! I am shivering cold, and
I can't worry about
Breaking free, cause I'm too deep
And I can feel the heat
Starting to fade from me!
Two minutes under made me
Scared to live,
Not scared to die
When I awoke I had this
Cold dark look in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes...
Oh I can't get out of the cold!...
