Once upon a dream of Christmas Eve When every glowing Christmas light Began to flicker and then died Before the stroke of midnight And every boy and girl In the entire world Began to cry Pleading that god would make a way For Santa's sleigh tonight...

When I saw you walking by I could not believe my eyes Underneath the city lights Reflecting all your curves just right Can I have your attention For a moment I need to just say something If you've got the time Then I got the reason for the sin If you'...

I'm addicted to bad decisions. I just can't ever help myself. (but this is different) It sounds so convincing... She's good for you. So good for us as well. You'll be the taste lingering on my lips. It'll be my hands clinging to your hips. I got get g...

You wanna swim in the river I wanna dance in the summer You've always been the believer I'm always left to wonder The water is rushing so fast I think it will take us under Oh, what thought did you recall That would make you say my name? The water's so deep A...

[Originally By Toad The Wet Sprocket] Nothing's so loud As hearing when we lie The truth is not kind And you've said neither am I But the air outside so soft is saying everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the...

I’ve got a way of finding out what you said, but I want to hear it from the butcher’s mouth. I’ve got a way of freaking out all your friends when I’m talking out loud. But it ends me when I can tell that I’ve become the person I can’t take, that I hate,...

wasted, paralyzed beneath ten thousand layers of disguise built to save what's left that has already worn away inside this vacant made-up plastic life only your heart survived for one last cry one last cry one last cry how long (must i always remember all th...

You'll raise the daughter and she'll raise the son. You'll live like two people that wish they were one. She may not be perfect, but oh, my friend, neither are you. You feel like you're waiting for somebody to remind you of all the things that you're supposed...

There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out. If it doesn't hurt, then not another word. You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown. Do I hold on, when it's so far gone? To recall all the footsteps in the hall, with our lo...

We can make believe We're happy and free It's automatic when The money is in our hands People always try To look beyond their own lives But, I know that It wont last Pride comes before our fellow man Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh...

You’ve buried me here And I can’t turn off my eyes, only sinking. You’ve hidden the keys to sleep. The sweet careful lines we’ve crossed And now we never can go back. This is what I felt, just being myself, But I know that you wouldn’t stay. Standing a...

Tell me that im a fool That Ive exaggerated the situation Cause' I've never been scared like this Of losing more than i have to give Its so unfair I Believed I Could Handle This I Swore I Could Fix Everything But i cant take my eyes off of you [CHORU...

TIME RUNS OUT Those words seemed so sincere And I've been so lonely here I find myself lost in escape Marked by hands I held as my anchor But in your shallow sea I drown I can still hear the trees At my back and haunting me. Unafraid, unaffected, T...

You got me falling in love with what's next The personalities a casualty but I'm impressed with the way you control the verbs I'm moving in and out with words So slow down. We don't have to rush. How profound is the sequence perception to the touch. Is...

Just hear me out This was all my fault Now you've brought me death And it everything I wanted It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out It's the wrong inside that fills my mouth It's left me without In this darkness I've given my ground But no, this...

Time is running out as you die, die, die in this bed not making a sound. It has all come crashing down to the heel, and watch you breathe your last. So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast. Oh, God, are you listening now? As this cancer dances...

I'd take it back to have the chance to see her laugh, to see her dance You, you never told me it would be so hard and now you sayin', you can't stay, you can't stay so get away This bedroom tells of our mistakes perfume and innocence to take (I am) In...

Let's write the songs that they want I thought they'd love us but they don't They don't With tails stuck between our legs... We'll find a home made of regret Well stay shipwrecked And sinking What a terrible thought To be thinking You were with us b...

He's never gonna go away He's never gonna go away He's never gonna go away He's never gonna go away He's never gonna go away He's never gonna go away So we sit and we wait For the curtains to fall And there are words we could use But should never say at all B...

I know your face I know your smile and how it plays Into the minds of those who Cling to every word you say This isn't how I wanted to Remember me and you Your eyes are talking but Your lips are standing still.. Open your mouth tell me How I'm suppos...

We've all got something to say, When we open our mouths we've find someone to blame. We all have demons to face. Situations evolve into something that we can't explain. It's like a thorn in my mind. Digging deeper and deeper and killing the love that it...

one and three, you're here (one and three, you're here to tell me we can't do this) to tell me we can't do this (three for three, i'll disagree) anymore your hair and face against the mirror as i take the steps to save what's left of me someone's out when i...

I used to be a better man. But the regret came, and here I am. I used to walk outside my door. But I don't go outside anymore When will they carry me to my grave? So I can pay for the things my hands have made. Two sons will take my body and place it in the g...

[Originally by Bonnie Tyler] Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the great white Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what i need...

So is it courage or strength and is that what I'm waiting for? If I could just kill myself would it also kill the remorse? I wanted so badly to catch a break but I'm only breaking down. I'm still here and standing but if it's up to me I don't think I'l...

Your self destruction has become mine Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories You forsake all loyalties for lies You’re too late to decide This can’t go right Cause I got this tonight, I got...

Don't be late There's no time to be afraid There's a way To clean up the mess you've made If I could tell the truth Or lie would I attempt the two at the same time Expect you to apologize for trying To make me so up tight Don't say it's just a game we play I...

I've noticed your design Cause I'm not blind I'm like a cigarette Burning burning every night But there's no ash that falls There's only telephone calls in the afternoon Stretching through a thousand walls So I'll pray For words to say To make these miles dis...

I got eyes in the back of my head and I, see where you're going with this I'm not surprised You take me for a fool, maybe you're right If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight You sold yourself, you'll never learn (You sold yourself......

This is what comes of the best intentions we have They get lost with the rest and soon forgotten And the money we spend is to make amends For the time that we’ve never To make amends for the time that we’ve never given We all feel real inside our skin W...

I wish I could put you into words, so it would all make sense. I'd write you a thousand times, your faces in pages. Run your answers the best way you can, It's that you never thought that you'd be coming in last. (this is the wrong time, the wrong place) I was...

Watching someone stop breathing. Feel their arms and palms releasing. The color, the smell of the skin, All of this with your fingerprints. And there isn't a thing that we can do. Drive drive drive drive, I don't want to get caught. We'll say, we'll say we're...

Every once in a while I think I'm lying. Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say. (This just isn't how, this just isn't how) Then again this is when you start your prying. (This just isn't how, this just isn't how) But there's a thought it could be tru...

No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait! No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait! No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait! No! She won't, she won't, she won't! (I could never find such a pretty face, pretty face [x2]) Always what you meant, never what you...

All these answers for the words that you omitted. You omit them still. Never thought I would find out, but we're here now I'm aching for this, aching for it. You said you'd never been with anyone else but you lied, as you try say somehow that I was the o...

Pardon me for saying so but you look more pitiful Than I had ever imagined Despite perfect fashion And your photographs depict you so differently I always thought you would be, some sort of match for me So let's decide who can survive Stomping feet and racing...

You wanted to know if If it was worth the pain that it has caused us. Both our lives - subtract one life To know why it was you deserved this As simple as I can I'll tell you the difference Between a pencil and a pen And where it will leave us now As your bod...

This is a waking up This is your final call and I would never want to see you get torn apart I can't believe it I can't believe you're a part of this world You were a sick, sad man from the start Now you're not even worth my time I can't be stopped, I'll jus...

These are the words I will say This is the story I'll tell When I speak your name You'll probably like it yourself That's what I never could take You wanted me when you wanted me and the rest was just a waste of your time I'll say the words that you w...

[Intro] Let's start with just the basics then I'm sure that we could fake it when It's time to say how much it meant And we walk out so innocent [Verse 1] You can be so persuasive When you say it's More than a day trip And convince me I'm condescending When I...

Last night I had a dream that you decided to leave me and no matter what I said, my persuasion fell upon your deaf ears. Don't leave me here alone. I'm not so good on my own. I'm not so good. I'm not so good on my own. Is it too late? Am I too gone? Is t...

Are you listening? We write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor. Headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors. And we are never leaving, this place is part of us. And all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch. My hands see...

Take a look and see for yourself what makes a man a man, and I will step back to the life I left. Maybe you won't forget who I am. Wake up in the middle of the night, just don't believe everything's all right when these thoughts are running around your head....

Put on your shoes, let's go outside. It's easy for the brilliant light. Avoiding phone calls and long goodbyes. The city skylines always bring big smiles to me, As we sit in our cars, divided by white lines and signs in between. Electronic letters screaming it...
