When I get home I wanna know that she's been waiting for me Because there's a part of me that knows that she's not waiting for me. I don't want, To seem so mad It's not my place No it ain't that bad Even if this goes bad I just wanna see you smile I won't let this go bad Even if you say goodbye We took our chances, We wrapped them up and buried them underground Did you lie? When you said You'd be my friend and you'd always be around I don't want, To seem so mad It's not my place And I know that it ain't that bad Even if this goes bad I just wanna see you smile I won't let this go bad Even if you say goodbye I just wanna see you, wanna see you Oh I know that I won't do you wrong Oh I know, I'll never do you wrong I just wanna see you smile I just wanted to see you smile

Bath Ave 03:34
Oh, and nothing even works And nothing makes it worse And nothing holds me back And I say, I don't even wanna know I don't wanna make it personal But at least I know It's not just you. there's nothing else you can do. Don't take this the wrong way And don't take it the right way I'm doing fine Maybe later on I'll complain And tell you the same old story Later on baby, you'll find. Come on, don't lie Just say you're on my side And don't ever let me go. I don't think it's understandable And I don't think you understand What you've been doing all my life.

Fingertips 03:55
It only feels normal because it's all that you've known Don't want to feel this way anymore It's easier to say someones in control So do you blame it all on God? Or on the day that your birth just happens to fall on? I don't know, it seems pretty odd to me It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, It doesn't matter if you like this song Oh, I don't think anything even matters at all. So I won't bother trying to explain, those things in life that we just can't explain. Oh I know, someone 's trying in vain. A symptom of facing the unknown, A tendency to feel so uncomfortable. We tend to cling to our blindfolds at the edge of the rabbit hole. So by the time that you realize, You'll only ever ee the world through your own eyes. You might feel a little terrified, Or alive. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, It doesn't matter if you like this song Oh, I don't think anything even matters at all. So I won't bother trying to explain, those things in life that we just can't explain. Oh I know, someone 's trying in vain. Oh but I don't think that it's even fair, I don't think that no one there. I only wrote this song because I don't know why magnets work. MAGNETS. THE MANDELBROT SET. WHY DO PLANES FLY? THEY'RE SO HEAVY. HOW DO THEY STAY UP? THEY'RE SO HEAVY. WHY DO MAGNETS WORK?

Bought and sold You've grown so old. Do you remember me? What about your family? Green to gold You've stooped so low. I bet you don't remember me And I know you don't know what these means But that's fine Take your time I never know, these things that are on my mind My mind, my mind, oh the same damn time But that's your fault for Digging up holes on another plot For sticking your nose in the world at large Did you feel so in charge? Just like the fool who can't remember how he got his scars Oh but you know, Remember how special you are? Oh no no no no The time is up Open your eyes It's a long way up But don't be surprised When it's not enough I think that's not never enough The time is up Open your eyes It's a long way up But don't be surprised When it's not enough I think that's not never enough No it's never enough But now you feel so different And you're scared you missed it Because the cake don't taste the way it did last year And you wonder why the hell you even got here Oh oh oh The time is up Open your eyes It's a long way up But don't be surprised When it's not enough I think that's not never enough No it's never enough (x2) Yeah but what's the point in Feeling so proud when it's all done Take a look around and it's just you and all those things you haven't had before It's everything you've ever wanted and more But not for long.
