You and I want salutation
but the difference in our love needs restoration
I'm tired of the crowd
and I'm sick of looking down
I'm done with your divide
So I'll walk away
and I hate your pretty stare, with those broken eyes
look inside yourself and not in mine
I'm tired of the crowd
and I'm sick of looking down
I'm done with your divide
So I'll walk away
Walk away
Night and day, the cameras follow me
they come into my bed and where I sleep
I know I'm a fool- but I love the way I am
and I'll dream of when you take my life from me
Why can't you just see all the beauty around you?
And I'd give up everything I have
if it meant that I could kill your masquerade
I'm tired of the crowd
and I'm sick of looking down
I'm done with your divide
So I'll walk away
Walk away

The Sound

If I was there, I'd be honest
I believe that's what I'd do
I blacked out, but then I came to
and had a dream I'll share with you
Then like my brother, I lost it
I lost my temper too
Save the rest for tomorrow
But hear the words I say today
and I'd say I say the least
but I said what's on my mind
to strengthen up the ties
between my friends and I
I'd say it the best
I want us all to feel the sorrow of one thousand painful words
We'll all be home by tomorrow, just picture what that sound will be
I hear it on the rise
and I'd say I say the least
but I said what's on my mind
to strengthen up the ties
between my friends and I
I'd say it the best
Picture all those words
And the sounds that follow
I was in the dark, but I found the light
and I'd say I say the least
but I said what's on my mind
to strengthen up the ties
between my friends and I
I'd say it the best

I was lost in the morning
Then I came around, through the other side
I was gone by nightfall
and back again to meet the sun
I was stoned, I was bleeding
but this heart, a steady beating
I was swallowed by the feeling
of an undead, rapid pulse repeating
and if I was falling
I wouldnt sway to the shifting of the wind
and if I was a lover
I'd swoon the grassy fields that hold me in
and youd say
I'll wait for you
These desperate times call for a fable
My mind is shut, but my spirit is able
To the village, we kill and plunder
if we were born the same, it really makes me wonder
and if I was falling
I wouldnt sway to the shifting of the wind
and if I was a lover
I'd swoon the grassy fields that hold me in
and youd say
I'll wait for you

Let's talk for real
cause I have only known your name
and now that I'm with you, i want more
I hope that you might feel the same
When you're gone
my eyes are fixed upon the clock
i watch the hands go tick, tick, tick
tick tock
and i wait for you
but when I say that I want you
i want you and only you and no one else
but if you think that there's someone
besides you, well what can I say?
it may be true
i just don't know
if I can do this anymore
my feet are halfway out the door
i may not love you anymore
but when I see
your pretty face look back at me
my heart it melts, my love it grows
I want to love you from your head to your toes
but when I say that I want you
i want you and only you and no one else
but if you think that there's someone
besides you, well what can I say?
it may be true
because i want you
I need you
you're the only one who's still hanging around
I want to
Got to
Have you for my own

You're Alright

please hold on just a minute
cause I'm looking for an outlet
to brighten up my night
and I swear I kind of like you,
although I just might forget you
but I won't forget that night
I'm a runner and a stunner,
I'm a good old fashioned brother
but for you, well that's not fine
Forget all your past endearments
all those playful nights could be us
I just need a little sign
You're Alright
It's not the feeling that I cling to,
it's the thought of love without you
and although that may be fine
Cause I can play baseball without you
I don't need your sorry taboo
but I need those pretty eyes
You're Alright

it Goes and Goes

So here I am
take off my clothes
but please, leave my socks
I'll keep them on my toes.
If I was to take them off,
I would be what's left for you to bare.
And If you want, we could get sad
or if you please, we could get mad
Oh, it doesn't matter to me
I just love to see you happy
And so it goes
Oh, here it goes again
You run away from me
I like the feeling that I get, with different arms around my neck
I think that it's fine
we're better off without you most of the time
So I could be
Your ecstasy
Let me in your party soon, I know I'm not always on time
Any time's ok
even if it's only for today
And so it goes
Oh, here it goes again
You run away from me
I like the feeling that I get, with different arms around my neck
I think that it's fine
we're better off without you most of the time
But when we're stranded and alone
We think about the ones we love,
and what it meant to be a friend
Pardon the way we split our love.

I sought you out amongst the crowd
I saw your hair, I saw your plaid shirt.
Came close to you, how do you do?
How do you feel? What do yu really need?
Then she smiled first, without the words
but a lack of confidence I can't explain
So then I pulled away, turned around
and fell back into my own private space.
See the girls all running around
(See them running around all the time)
Pretty curls and pretty crowns
(Pretty girls up in my mind)
Catching sunshine in the dark
(Right down here, beneath the sky)
Do you wanna touch my modern art?
So let's rewind and take it back,
before the time when I was a man.
When girls and boys and boys and girls were just the product of a bigger plan.
You know I
lost my innocence the day that I found out I wasn't just like you
You lost your mind when you discovered that the world wasn't split in two
See the girls all running around
(See them running around all the time)
Pretty curls and pretty crowns
(Pretty girls up in my mind)
Catching sunshine in the dark
(Right down here, beneath the sky)
Do you wanna touch my modern art?
Oh baby I just wanna talk to you
But baby when I do
I wanna get far away from you
Cause it's not the question in our hearts, that makes us want to go away
And it's not the questions in our minds that make us want to fight
And it's not the question in my soul, that makes me want to die.
Don't be a fool, don't kid yourself
you've always known exactly what you are
Go be the man, go be the bomb, go be the shit
go fuck the world in half
See the girls all running around
(See them running around all the time)
Pretty curls and pretty crowns
(Pretty girls up in my mind)
Catching sunshine in the dark
(Right down here, beneath the sky)
Do you wanna touch my modern art?
