I didn't mean to leave you hanging on I didn't mean to leave you all alone I didn't know what to say I didn't know what to say [Repeat] Merry Christmas, baby. (Merry Christmas, baby) [Repeat 3x] Merry Christmas. 

I felt for sure last night That once we said goodbye No one else will know these lonely dreams No one else will know that part of me I'm still driving away And I'm sorry every day I wont always love these selfish things I won't always live not stopping...

I keep my focus on the simple things Trying to find some peace along the way Wish I knew how long I'm supposed to wait Holding on but just barely Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line There's always a reason to let it change Is there an...

It's allright to be held back by retro-man. it's far fetched fun when you're the one. The prize. I knew you would come through. I thought I could be right, number one, but it's a lie. It's televised in forest green. it's been brought back by retro-man....

Are you gonna live your life wondering, Standing in the back, Looking around? Are you gonna waste your time thinking, How you’ve grown up, Or how you missed out? Things are never gonna be the way you want. Where's it gonna get you acting serious? Things are...

I'm hypnotized by rituals now that I am on my own Tranquilized like an animal All because I lost control Are you tuning in to our conversation Oh yea you'll get your chance The bigger the brighter illuminated Control the audience The weight of the wo...

Going out we hope to lose ourselves Then get found in unlikely places A little presumption's all you need To end up empty Who really says they hope they meet the one For the first time at a bar drinking early Easy enough to say "Hey man, I'm done" And n...

Could have been a night like any other One of us has to drive, once of us gets to think I'll force a laugh to break the silence It's going to get harder still before it gets easy You can't keep safe what wants to break I'm alone in this I'm as I've always bee...

I got lonely and 32 times whose been in jail. I love stealing, I love feeling watched by you. And I will never go down downtown. And I will always have my head held down. Can see it in your eyes, everything's on fire. I think I did it. What you looking at? The...

Thank you honey for reminding me how long you can stay with someone And never see, really see I want so bad just to understand how I'm gonna let more time go Without trying, without trying We build, we box, we carry on As people we forgot Strange we com...

It's how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows. Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song". Honesty or mystery? Tell me I'm not scared anymore. I got no secret purpose, I don't seem obvious do I? I don't seem obvious do I? The DJ never has it, J A M...

Let me have the keys and you can take a rest From the lightless main street until the next Who knows what there was to see before the light turned green There's so much hell to live The static or the silence; don't know which is worse The dial isn't brok...

Don't bother going through your motions Nothing that makes sense ever works out Don't kid yourself, you know they want money Nothing can be good on its own merit Spinning and spinning Do you believe in what you want? Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow D...

Totem pole, signs of death Preach my mind, breaks our times What secrets still, lifted my eyes I'm by myself, just like i was before Oh why can't we just find in someone Stranded back in time He said she's got photographs of Endings of this world Defy, defy...

It's not a dream (not a dream), watch your lips move but can't hear I can see (I can see) everything else is unclear Camera's on (camera's on), fixed on one face and on tears What a scene (what a scene), fly us in and you'll all cheer If there's something wro...

Before this world starts up again It's me and night We wait for the sun The kids and drunks head back inside Well there's lots of smart ideas In books I never read When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had Get up, Get up Turn my ignition...

I'm not alone 'Cause the TV’s on yeah I’m not crazy 'Cause I take The right pills everyday And rest Clean your conscious Clear your thoughts With speyside With your grain Clean your conscious Clear your thoughts With speyside Salt, sweat Sugar on the asphalt O...

I wasn't worried about the small things Tried to bury what they might or could have meant And as far away as you could get, as distant as you'd ever been You still love me The book of love is fiction Written by the loneliest to sing Thinking they’re doing the...

Hey where did we go, days when the rains came down in the hollow playin' the new game laughin' and a runnin' hey hey skippin' an a jumpin' in the misty morning fog my hearts a thumpin and you my brown eyed girl you my brown eyed girl So what ever happened to...

I walked out at 3 a.m. The coward inside me told me so I couldn't stand to lie with you 'Cause when I do I can tell It's bye bye love Bye bye love It's bye bye love Bye bye love I wanna feel that golden light Watch summer dancing through your hair There's so...

Leave home today. escape your region. it's in your head, keep moving on. become your dad. live unquestioned. it's in your head, nostalgia is death. choose starlight. no way to retrace. it is gone. choose star bright. no way to retrace. it is gone. no way to re...

Here we go. (My only cold I fought.) Here I am, frozen in time I find a way from you, pave the way. And cause I can't stand still they'll leave you down and out. And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back. Tell me now, I need to know how long. Clea...

And I know I'm all alone Say your name slowly And I know that I'm alone But I'll carry you Does it feel good like a memory When you try some history It's a dream to come around But who doesn't then, Because the taste doesn't taste the same again It's easy fe...

The time I would spend, with pictures I would not send. I watched you go from left to right, I followed you all night. Across my blinds. You'll change your mind come Monday, and turn your back on me. You'll take your steps away with hesitance, Take your steps...

Take me clear up. Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall. So I'm plastered to the floor. I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line. Take draw, take a look now. Watch me melt, from man to a boy and I'm always on the honor society. With...

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor, I'm only here in body visiting. Yellow faces in the distance screams, "The beauty is in what isn't said," I'm rising to my feet, Because tonight, the world turned in me. Because right now, I don't dare to breathe. Oh, babe, I kno...

One chance to show your face. this one shot all you get. pass by your one good thing. lift your head back shoot and chase. never hear you laugh like that, so full. not since you were nine. unsettled, severing always severing old ties. one last good-bye may la...

Everyday I get a little closer, dear Will you love me darling when I get there? I'll need sunshine, I'll need rest Pour us whiskey, water, kiss Remember me, she said smiling Write my name somewhere safe Touch and taste Fades with space I'll never be who you'l...

When I finally finished school It was the first thing that I did What every townie kid dreams of, I packed and started west A thousand dollars I had saved And my sister's two cassettes: The Dead from Fillmore East And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits Coff...

There's no clarity in front of me Only degrees of hating Obscenity, there's no charity Some don't deserve to make it You'll blame and fight each other For just a slice of plunder Too down and tired to wonder Whose foot you're crawling under Oh-oh-oh-...

The ghost of recent misery Still has a song to sing You captivated hearts Waiting for a spark No one you care to recognize Suddenly in control Unfortunate to find What it is inside Criminal energy If you got blood to bleed Your fever with the fight...

I made it And now there's no turning back I know there's no depth you wouldn't sink for the chance I'm sorry, boy I'm not cut for this no more You came in Yeah, you happened to me So I waited and nothing else has since I'm sorry, boy But I'm no good...

I want someone who lives up to this grandeur in my head And you don’t do much to sell me I’d be best with you instead. I hate the way I feel, but I don’t think I can change. I just breathe you each day. Are we only damaging the little we have left? Both...

Well, I know I'm dreaming But it feels too good to stop The picture in my head is always moving We're alone at sunset There's snowfall in air It's only special once 'cause there's an ending And we realize we're in a future memory I can only use what I...

When I find myself awake I'll put my thoughts down on the page Half-asleep, I'll make a list Then read back all my greatest hits Should meditate, should work out more Should read until my brain gets sore Meet someone, go far away Try being socially less...

I've spent my last nights strung up and pulled tight. Holding out, sleep and grow. An answer comes without a please: 'Do what you want.' [Chorus:] Wonder why I'm so caught of guard when we kiss. Rather live my life in regret then do this. What happened to the...

You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it. Why it isn'tmeant for me, and I noticed If the choice was ours alone, Then why'd we both choose letting go? Does it end like this? Time never had a chance to heal your heart Just a number always c...

Stay with me You're the one that I need You make the hardest things Seem easy Keep my heart Somewhere drugs don't go Where the sunshine slows Always keep me close If only you could see The stranger next to me You promise, you promise that you're done But I...

I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade. Give up repeating the facts, but that could be arranged Here I am, I'll take my chance Now play the record straight. Now give it up! Oh...

Follow you around until it's time Time to leave Swimming into the idea of your scene There all the while proving patiently I earned to lie by you when you fall asleep Watched you put on a dress I'd never seen Something that begged for East Atlantic bree...

There's a chance, one of us will give in soon I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove? I tried to get mad, but the fever drops My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me. Wanna wrath, take a look around th...

This is where our diligence has lead The waves roll in to claim our patient steps Can we become more than just ourselves? And leave the sand, our want, our will, our doubt It's firefight, I won't run. There's spit and spite all through my blood For you and me...

The first star I see may not be a star You can't do a thing but wait So let's wait for one more... And the time's such clumsy time I'm deciding if it's time I'm careful but not sure how it goes You can loose yourself in your courage When the time we...

There's no one in town I know You gave us some place to go I never said thank you for that 'thought I might get one more chance What would you think of me now? So lucky, so strong, so proud I never said thank you for that Now I'll never have a chance May ang...

I can't compete with the clear eyes of strangers I'm more and more replaced By my friends each night I can't compete Just can't recover How many years it's been, it's day one in my mind That's the first step Each time The heart is hard to find It's h...

The quiet should be nice but isn't I guess we're going to spend the day like this In psychic screaming Don't you feel my eye-lasers hit? Stare you down, but God, your skin is thick What's it take to notice? Show me you can read my mind You're useless t...

I've saved up enough courage And I'll spend it now But all for what, I ask myself No, it doesn't feel that an answer matters Oh, I thought I needed you to give me strength The things I'd hoped you'd say But as you stayed quiet, I'd just wonder Only one thing...

The way you pull me in sometimes I almost feel The picture in my head is just too real It's gonna be how it is, there's some things you don't change I'm done with telling myself that story How slowly we built the walls In years they pile on I will steal...

What's wrong baby? don't they treat you like they should? did you take them for it or every penny that you could? we once walked out on the beach and once i almost touched your hand o, how i dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend don't you kn...

I was scared but once I thought about, I let it go Everything she said to me I guess I oughta know We're all tired of talk when it comes to shove Put up, put out or stay at home We'll never be the same Never feel this way again I'd give you anything but you w...

Here you can be anything And I think that scares you I think that scares you.. Here, I've been here before But only by myself.. Myself.. I promised I'd see it again I promised I'd see this with you now.. I promised I'd see it again I promised I'd see this wi...

Well, you're just across the street Looks a mile to my feet I want to go to you Funny how I'm nervous still I've always been the easy kill I guess I always will Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance? (chance?) Or only one way that it was always me...

You keep it simple at the start And never question things too hard Shouldn’t shock you when you’re down this far I’m not asking for a fix I just need you close to reach When I can’t stop myself at all When I can’t lean on you I fall Every single time I’m wron...

I have a ringing in my head And no one to help me answer it Even with you close enough to kiss. Every minute is arranged Every moment lasts a day But thinking about it can't help me let go, I know. Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk Gotta love how it's...

It's how I've often felt When I find myself on nights like these, Like Christmas Eve From the empty office window To the street outside It's everything not to call And find out why On the cab ride you said nothing Just hair all in your face I was sca...

There's no one in town I know You gave us some place to go. I never said thank you for that. I thought I might get one more chance. What would you think of me now, so lucky, so strong, so proud? I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance. Ma...

It's been a long time, so long There's only one life I know (I know) But I have my own mind I'll say so if it seems right (Hey rush out) I see your warm face with the soft mouth But it speaks something else (else) I'll take my chances with the cast do...

I see it around me I see it in everything I could be so much More than this I said my goodbye's This is my sundown I'm gonna be so much More than this With one hand high You'll show them your progress You'll take your time But no one cares No one cares I need...

Lay back baby and we'll do this right There's blankets in back we can use I'll start the car, but we'll stay in park The cold can kill us before fumes Now's the right time for a good song Got something to say what I can't Do you feel bad, like I feel bad? We'...

Hold them down, all bleeding suspects (Just because, just 'cause, just who are you?) Like candle light, burn burn burn, baby (Burn, burn, whose turn, Who gets a taste today?) [Chorus] We've done nothing wrong, But we've done nothing We can't look away, But we...

Camera girl, you still there? If I look you'll disappear Worse, you might wanna talk I'm so underprepared I don't know, is it real? I can't ignore the way it feels Like the stomach punch it is I try but I can waste one million chances Before you're go...

I'm not exactly sure what I should say Everything I do is a mistake Your attention is attention (It doesn't matter if it's fake or real) I'll take it if I get it, oh I've made up my mind I'll do it over any time You're over it, over me Present just physically...

I don't feel the way I've ever felt, I know I'm gonna smile and not get worried, I try but it shows Anyone can make what I have built, And better now Anyone can find the same white pills It takes my pain away It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes, And she's not...
