Well this probably couldn’t be, the life I tried to see with my own eyes,

And I really oughtta be, a little more discreet with my true cries, yeah

And it really seems to me, that I’m the only me in my true lies,

I’m the only one that I can blame

Take my time getting up so I mess out the morning, not loving you

Spend my time tapping keys casting blame in the afternoon, not loving you

Let my eyes get too tired then I lay down beside you, oooooo

Wasting too much of your precious time, not loving you

Well it really starts to show when the dogs don’t even know that I live here

And I really oughtta know that I get a little slow when I drink beer

But I’m really glad to go, to the places we don’t know in this next year,

I’ll start loving you over again

Oh oh, well I’m sorry for the weekend, Oh oh, and another days gone again,

Oh oh, and I know you’re loving your best friend we just need some time together

Oh oh, and it’s life that’s getting in my way, Oh oh, that’s excuse number 9 today

Oh oh, and I know I can turn it around if I spend more time loving you

One more night, if all I had to give was one more night with you

You’ll take a photograph of me, and then you’ll see

I’ll take a photograph of you, but you are cuter than me

We’ll take a photograph, of both of us right here right now

We’ll make the time stand still

One more night, if all I had to give was one more night with you

‘Cause if one more night, was all we had then I’d want

One more night to be two

I’ll write a silly song for you, you’d say I’m sweet,

You’d buy lemonade for me, I would say you are neat,

We’d pretend we hear a sound when the sun goes down,

If all we have, and all we know, is love we share, and love we show

What is this life I stumbled in to?

Where’s it gonna take me? Where’s it gonna take you?

If life is a journey, then I know where I’ll be

By the ocean, oh that valley in the sea…

But I don’t think anyone’s looking for me, especially you

And if someone is looking, than who?

And it’s amazing, how lost inside in you feel,

When you look fine on the outside, you’re screaming someone take the wheel

And it’s amazing, they think you’ve got it all,

But it might just be a pebble, that mighta made you fall

What is this story that tells me I’m fine?

It adds color to my pages, like a sweet little nursery rhyme

If I had the answers, then I know where I’ll be,

By the ocean, oh that valley in the sea…

And it’s amazing, how lost inside in you feel,

When you look fine on the outside, you’re screaming someone take the wheel

And it’s amazing, they think you’ve got it all,

But it might just be a pebble, that mighta made you

Fall away, like summer fades to grey,

But be honest babe, ‘cause it hurts so much to say…

Is there time for just one story, I promise you won’t be sorry, for making the time

This one starts just like it ought to, the leading character is you, and this interesting life

Oh you you, and true true, something about ‘I’m gonna have to lie to you’

Oh you you, I see through, don’t want no more lies a getting through to you

Chapter five, excuses the past you’ve come from, but it’s sounding like boredom,

That was clouding your way,

Chapter 10 is just like ice cream, fifty two flavors of your dream, all of them melting

Away

Lies, Lies, Lies…

There must be some kind of way, to show me
Just how my breathing allows you to own me
And if my life is in vain, well, you owe me
Everything that I once thought now I don’t see

I want to know this, show me now

And then you’ll tell me that it’s alright, alright
Tell me that it’s just fine, I’m still breathing
Tell me that it’s not right, not right,
Tell me that it’s just right if, I’m still breathing

I’m looking out for this life, remember
I don’t see what you believed in December
And if I walk on this place you will never
Be anything more to me so listen to my breathing

I want to know this, show me now

And then you’ll tell me that it’s alright, alright
Tell me that it’s just fine, I’m still breathing
Tell me that it’s not right, not right,
Tell me that it’s just right if, I’m still breathing

There must be something inside, that fools you
Into thinking what you want, like fools do
And yet we breathe the same air, hey, we all do
It’s the trigger in your right hand, but we both got the left hand yeah,

See the life that I had is fleeting, all religious and differs our meaning,
Take a tip from the peace that’s leaving and see the air you saved taking my breathing

Tell me that it’s alright, and I will tell you that it’s just fine
Tell me that it’s not right, and I will tell you that it’s just right if…I’m still breathing

Tell me that it’s alright, alright
Tell me that it’s just fine, I’m still breathing
Tell me that it’s not right, not right,
Tell me that it’s just right if, I’m still breathing

Mr. Lover, is there any other that you see?
Find another, forget about the brother that you need.
You only wanna do, what’s right for you.

Mr. Hater, be a little later to come home.
Raise the fader, did you forget you made her she’s your own.
You always try to say, there’s another way, but there ain’t one this time no

Paradise is only waiting, for you to arrive
Paradise is only waiting, to see if you survive
Paradise is only waiting for you, to see if love comes back this time.

Mr. Liar, may I just inquire ’bout one thing?
Where’s the fire? Did your love retire before spring?
Are you for hire? ‘Cause no one want a crier on the backseat of lovin’, when the push comes to shovin’ tell me will you just be gone again?

Paradise is only waiting, for you to arrive
Paradise is only waiting, to see if you survive
Paradise is only waiting for you, to see if love comes back this time.

And I know you are lyin’, and I know you’ve been cryin’ and I know that you’re Mr. Lover to the core,
And I know you’ve been fakin’ and I know your heart’s been breakin’ but you know you gotta man up to this game, because

Paradise is only waiting, for you to arrive
Paradise is only waiting, to see if you survive
Paradise is only waiting for you, to see if love comes back this time.

We said we don’t have room in this corner view for two, so how about three
But English Bay looks nice today, so mmm, what do you say?
The city lights are like paradise and that air, it’s loving tonight
But something inside said to go for a ride, just pick up, it’s time to move on,

It told me just to love that life, I gave it to you,
Find what’s right, I’ll show it to you
Just love life, it’s alright

If painted faces and sugar-pop kids can dream, then why shouldn’t we?
The surf keeps ragin’ and we’re just agin’ it seems just a little each day
Why we would we wait for the right wave to break on the off chance, we’re already gone?
If love lasts hours and hurt grows flowers it’s all somehow meant to belong

Oh I’m looking for you girl, and I know you’ve been looking for me
Let’s take coloring books and a bag of those good looks to the beach and see what we see…oh

There’s so much strife for the afterlife and when you get it, it’s already gone
And it’s circumstance that we blame on chance, and it’s chance that we take the blame on
Well life takes kicks and those politics, watch the church, they’re voting out God
But we’ll keep our reason and love each season of change as we just roll along

There’s a place that we ought to go to, be alone
If it’s cool with you I’ll take you there
Seems a little pretentious if I assume you might just follow me,
So I’ll walk ten steps behind

Pre-Chorus
If you’re looking for love, you ain’t gonna find it here,
It’s all about fear, get your pretty self over here now
And if you want me to know, you best be explainin’ yourself,
‘Cause I got a few questions of my own.

Chorus
Why don’t you tell me what you think about those ladies, ladies, ladies,
And I’ll tell you what I think about them fellas, fellas, fellas,
I’ll show to you the reason, I’ll show you I’m the one, to make it right

There’s a life that we try to hide and, move away
When the clock strikes twelve are you Cinderella poor or princess now,
Why the mess of lies and phony, advertising, yeah,
When it’s gonna hurt you, not gonna hurt him when he’s got another glass slipper

Pre-Chorus – Chorus
This is what I heard her say:
I’m the girl with the pretty blue eyes who wants to love tonight
I’m the guy who knows how to give the lovin’ that is right, but she said:
I’m the girl with the pretty little smile who wants to show you how
I’m the guy who didn’t really care one back or even now but…

Pre-Chorus – Chorus

Nothings gonna change, if we only rearrange the furniture and call it home
And this will never sell, if we never say goodbye to it and start it all again

In the attic there were letters that I never should have read
There were poems and confessions about this, about that
And after it was over we were closer to insanity
Why didn’t we just fix it back then

Now our porch, in the backyard to block out all the noise
Keeps us safe from the villains we don’t know
And the hurt that we cause ’cause we never tried to be
The best friend that we will never be

And soon it will be the day when it’s all over
And the truth from a bumper sticker stings:
“Jesus, save us from your followers!”

Everybody goes: doon-ch, doo doon-ch, doo doon-ch
Everybody says: doon-ch, doo doon-ch, doo doon-ch
Everybody knows: doon-ch, doo doon-ch, doo doon-ch
Where everybody goes: doon-ch, doo doon-ch, doo doon-ch

You ask if I’m a spaceman so I tell you what I know,
That Heaven sent or just Hell bent I’ll show you where to go
Confusion reigns supreme but I, I offer clarity,
And if you wanna walk another mile in my shoes, you won’t like what I see

You’re standing in that welfare line with all your family
Compassion fell, but who as well decides who should be
We’re bound by old complacency and liquor is our vice
But every other day’s the same as all the ones before, say “ah, now ain’t that nice!”

We hear the people cryin’ all the while children dyin’
We all a Facebook prophecy, sayin’ “Anthony’s a Zombie” and “Julia is bored with all this life”

Well you ask if I’m a liar or if I think there’s really more,
I say sell you stuff and be done with it, and march on out that door,
Everybody wants that solid answer tellin’ them that they are fine yeah,
But all the people I’m associatin’ myself with, we won’t walk that line

Well, if I tell you it’s all backwards would you tell me I was wrong?
You see these things and you feel these stings but you act like you’re so strong
But if we flop it on its head again with some sense of urgency,
Than some 520 Ethiopian brothers and sisters, can finally eat as much as me!

Always walkin’, smilin’, smirkin’, thinkin’ he knows more about the other guy
Watchin’, learnin’, hopin’, feelin’ sorry for the person who forced you to cry
Mama knows best but does she really know just what’s happening?
What on earth made this kid so frightening?

You’re just a stick in the spoke of my wheel,
You don’t care how the other people feel
And if they should fall
I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t care at all.

Little boy cryin’, hurtin’, wishin’ you hadn’t popped his prize balloon
When he gets bigger, better watch your back because it’s you he’ll tune
Are you mad at the world?
All the people painting favorite colors but it is you who swirled

You’re just a stick in the spoke of my wheel
You don’t care how the other people feel
And if they should fall.
I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t care at all

Let’s fall asleep, in a song on the beach, lie beside me, I’ll sing you still
Merry go round, where everything’s spinning around me, I see you
Let’s take the morning, and just waste it away real slow… with just us
Cool water down, on the backs of the ones we love, when brown grass sweats,
Let’s roam and see…

I think I’ll put it away, in a jar, in a jar, full of memories
I know there’ll be millions more, to be, to be, memories of we
Memories of we

Just like our chimes, on our back porch our dance through life,
Or in the kitchen beside our jar,
It’s on the low shelf, for the hard times… but keep remembering the good times
Just remember the good times

I think I’ll put it away, in a jar, in a jar, full of memories
I know there’ll be millions more, to be, to be
Memories of we
Memories of we

I won’t go far enough so you might lose me
Far enough so you can’t see me there,
Far enough to not believe me,
No I can’t wait to fill this jar with memories
