(So I'll Sit Here) Waiting
_____________________


So, I'll sit here waiting
While the words will pass me
You can't help me
You walk by me
I can't say a word
I'm helpless
Can't help me
You can't stop me now


'Cause I wanna be bad for you
You just lead the way I'll follow
I don't wanna think it through
Never give a thought tomorrow


Lost in thoughts of empty dispositions
My position stops me
Can't stand up
I can't breathe
You're telling me you're not for me
But I'll just make you see that


I wanna be bad for you
You just lead the way I'll follow
I don't wanna think it through
Never give a thought tomorrow


I'll never be like your kind of girl
Never be right there in the world
But I'll entertain the notion
That I could live there too


So I'll sit here waiting
While the world will pass me
You can't help me
I won't sleep tonight


'Cause I wanna be bad for you
You just lead the way I'll follow
I don't wanna think it through
Never give a thought tomorrow


I wanna be bad for you
Tomorrow


I wanna be bad for you
Never give a thought tomorrow





Mrs. Actually
______________


Look, look at them go
Thinking they know
Are they sure


Cruel, cruel are their ways
Number their days
You kind of pay


Watch, watch as they run
The race has been won
They're dying to play


You watching their crying
Checking their time
As slowly they die


You feed me a lie
We'll travel to the sky
But you leave me behind
I could never run away
No, I could never run away this time


Watch as gypsy girls play
Pirate boys stare
You turn to hate
Sneak to backwards hotels
Making their hell
Before its too late


Catch the work of these girls
Sinking so low
Each one alone


Watch as their worlds collide
And you're stuck inside
Give them a lie


You feed me a lie
We'll travel to the sky
But you leave me behind
I could never run away
No, I could never run away this time


Now I know what I have been told
World is crying so loud
Stuck and sick
Have my wings been clipped
Lift me up off the ground
Help me now





27 Days
_______________


27 days without you
27 days and counting
Waves of disapointment are mounting
Quiet moments feel like I'm shouting
Knew that you'd be leaving without me
Kills me that you're happy without me


Innocence was lost
Such a fucking curse
But still I hope you're thinking about me


Oh I wish that you were here
Oh I wish that you were here
Don't I wish that you were here
To keep me by your side
To keep me by your...


Never coming back but I'm waiting
Celebrate I'm yours for the taking
Breathing out of sheer desperation
Missing everything I've forsaken


Soaking up the endless apologies
Suffering was simply a part of me
Now you're out of sight
You're out of mind
But still you know that I'm your property


Oh I wish that you were here
Oh I wish that you were here
Don't I wish that you were here
To keep me by your side
To keep me by your side
(2x)





...And The Like.


Falling Away
_____________


I'm waiting
Wait to bolt away my breath
I'm gone I'm gone
I'm staying
Though you act though I've done left
I'm gone I'm gone


In the crowd, I'm drowning
No one's around me
In your arms, my whole world's falling away


My armor left in bundles on the floor
Can't hide anymore
My shadow so much darker than before
Can't see anymore


In the crowd I'm drowning
No one's around me
Sailing by, my whole world is falling away


And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say you couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay


I'm waiting
Fear is bursting in my breath
I'm gone I'm gone
In the crowd I'm drowning
No one can find me
Let me stop surrounding
I'm falling away


And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say you couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay


You couldn't stop at all
You couldn't stop at all
You couldn't stop


I'm sorry that it's not two ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say you couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay you couldn't stop to stay


I'm waiting (5x)





End Of An Era
_____________


You, you call my name
I felt the same
Walking through the everglades
And I, I hear your voice
I felt no choice
Had to run so far away


I can see you
I can't calm my ways


We grew old and vain
We looked the same
Circumstances crossed our ways
And now you've gone and left
Oh why, I'll ask
Never to return again


I would miss you
Try to notice that
I could miss you
Try to notice that


This is the end of an era
Welcome to the modern age
This is the end of our days
Welcome to the modern age


And though we talked about it
Dreamed how it could be in the modern age
We're not the way we planned to be
Are we, are we


I would miss you
Try to notice that
I would miss you
Try to notice that


This is the end of an era
Welcome to the modern age
This is the end of our days
Welcome to the modern age


You know we talked about it
Dreamed how it could be in the modern age
We're not the way we planned to be
Are we, are we





We Are Lost
_________________


We are lost on a L.A. county night
We are lost in the shadows of our times
We'll just drive through, we make it back in time
We'll just drive through the highways of our minds


And it looks my way
And I hear you say it in my mind
But you're not mine


I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
And I know that I'm wasting all my time


We can't hear through the stereo's uproar
I can't hear as I become a pathetic whore
So I'm blind to other things that I adore
It's turning out, my mind's a childive roar
And it's coming closer still
And I consequently feel
That in my heart, we're apart


I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
And I know that I'm wasting all my time
Cause you're not mine


I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
And I know that I'm wasting all my time
Cause you're not mine





Like It Or Not.




Bridge To Nowhere
_________________


Wake up it's over, again
The day is getting colder
Headaches, my mind breaks
Kick the covers on the floor
Time stops, they're laughing
Everybody's seeming happy
I say it's too early to smile
I haven't done that in a while


'Cause I can't see your face any longer
Not a trace any longer, I can't hide
I'm not lauging anymore
I can't be who you wanted me to be, who you wanted me to see
I don't know now what's in store, anymore


Flashbacks of times past
I will just forget to make it last
Turning on the lights and waiting
Nothing seems to be changing
Books are on on the desk, lined papers
Every sign of life just seems to taper


I can't see your face any longer
Not a trace any longer, I can't hide
I'm not lauging anymore
I can't be who you wanted me to be, who you wanted me to see
I don't know now what's in store


Hear me out
Nothing's going to break
Nothing's going to break me down
Nothing's going to take
Nothing's going to take me out





Too Late
___________


We've been going back and forth
I'm waiting for the day you call me
I think I can do it on my own


Swinging like a pendulum
The time ticks by
Until it's gone
I'm thinking about the sun that's never shown


Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running
I'm going into shock
Cause you're too late, too late, too late


Never quite the effort maker
I see you're not nearly ready
I think I can do it on my own
Just too late and still too little
I just seem to miss you crawling
Never thought the day would come, I know


Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running
I'm going into shock
Cause you're too late, too late, too late


Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running
I'm going into shock
Cause you're too late, too late, too late


You're too late
Too late, too late
You're too late
Not quite the same





What I Say And What I Mean
_________________________


Walking from the past but I dont think I said my good-byes
Sometimes I just found that they keep sneaking up from behind


Closing up the wounds I suppose
It's best to take some more time
Then why do I find that
We've closed every door in our lives


'Cause I know you're the only one for me
But stranded in my sleep


Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
It's what I mean


Something haunts my dreams
I don't know what it means


Itching at the scabs
Only makes my troubles run higher
'Cause scratching in my sheets
Makes my bark much worse than my bite


Itching for a fight
As your nails are running over my spine
'Cause the doors are open
And they keep swirling back to my mind


And I know you're the only one for me
Quit standing in my dreams


Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
It's what I mean


Something haunts my sleep
I don't know what it means


Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
It's what I mean


My screams arrest my anxious side,
My emotion back and forth
I'm in between
My screams arrest my anxious side,
My emotion back and forth
I'm in between
