Scars that heal all crooked like
a room from which you're locked out forever
You've gotta let things pass
You've gotta let things go
It was just me in my room,
mind so blank it might as well have been empty
I can't be happy anymore
without you around
I don't see things the way you do sometimes
I really like your oversized t-shirt
The way you wear your clothes
It's all very cool to me
Can I see things the way you do?
Because I love you
It is just me in my room and my mind is blank
and my mind is empty
and I'm not happy now
and you left town
I can't see things the way you do
but I love you

Whatever Happened?

"This is an imaginary story...aren't they all?"
Clark:
Never thought I'd need a car
Driving south to fall apart alone
But that's how it has to go
And I don't think you'd understand
And I don't want to keep you from the plan
'Cus I know you'd like to know
But I don't want to hurt you more than I have to
Lois:
Whatever happened to my love?
Tomorrow's man, my memory of us fades
It seems like yesterday
That he and I were all but one
Drawn together - forever on and on
It just has to be that way
But I don't want to hurt you
I just want to help you more than I have to
Harold:
Sitting up I close the book
Across the table, someone looks away
And I have nothing more to say
Another smile unreturned, another lesson still unlearned today
As much as I want to
As much as I need to
But I don't want to hurt you
I don't even know you at all
I don't want to hurt you
I just want to love you
more
than I have to

Upside Down

I've been hanging out
Walking upside down
Waiting for a phone call
Stay with me
That's all I really want now
Statue of liberty
Spin your sign for me
I'm watching reality
retreat into fantasy
Stay with me
If that's what you really want now
Stay with me
You don't have to
stay with me
if you don't want to

Quiet Kills
03:50

I'm in an alley in the next town over
But you have no way of knowing that
You have no way of knowing
And the sun shines just as it has to
The sun shines all around you
But you have no way of knowing
You have no way of seeing
You sail that ship on through
You got somewhere to be
Me to you
But what was that you had to tell me?
The quiet kills me oh so slowly
"I love you, but it's hard sometimes"
Where those your words or mine?
Have you got something to say about it?
Say it so I have no reason left to doubt at all
So come now, take my hand
And let's go stumble through the age of the aimless
Callous and blameless and fortified
Fortified and faceless
While the sun shines all around you
The sun shines as it has to
But you have no way of knowing
You have no way of seeing
We sit together, still and lonely
The quiet kills me oh so slowly
"I love you, but it's hard sometimes"
Where those your words or mine?
Have you got something to say about it?
Say it so I have no reason left to doubt at all

Country

The house has got an echo
Rain covering the window
No one there, Nobody there
I wonder, "where does the time go?"
Yeah, it seems so fast but I remember
how it used to feel so slow
Who knows, I know I don't
My head is in the country
Mainly unoccupied
Sunlit, the empty country
I wake up to say goodnight
I hear the speakers booming
from the club that sits on top the pin
A trillion angels laid
A trillion more just wandered in
So much space in club heaven
My head is in the country
Mainly unoccupied
Sunlit, the empty country
I wake up to say goodnight
