I never thought we'd have to try; seemed easier to keep us alive The ever-present clock is ticking tock and time, it rushes on And the frenetic pace of life it marches; life it marches on And now... The first few days are over now Now I have time to think Now I have time We can pretend that we both put our all into this; that we were trying and trying but just couldn't get It's just not working The first few days are over now Nothing but time to think All of the time It never gets easier, no It always hurts to lose a friend But we'll try it again and we'll find in the end we weren't happier back then The first few days are over now Now I have time to think Now I have time The first few days are over now Nothing but time to think All of the time

Making Plans 03:06
A book that's been backwardly written, and in Latin, would be easier to decipher than your signs A look exchanged; a message re-arranged, or never sent And you're hell bent to not apologize So you'll always be The victim of your own story Yeah, it's an art when you play the part Yeah, you'll always be the villain of your own story Yeah, it's an art when you play the part And I can't wait till tomorrow I guess I see what I want and I'm not afraid to let it out Keep your emotions down, otherwise they get too loud and you hate that sound Keep your emotions down Don't let anyone, anyone too close Oh no, oh no And I can't wait till tomorrow You're making your plans and I can't wait till tomorrow
4.
Yes Or No 03:27
You're not responding; won't think it's cute when these games you're playing come to an end It isn't hard to make a decision My patience with you is wearing thin Just answer yes or no It's not a matter of circumstances; in these romances you have to choose There is no middle There is no maybe There's you and me now It's win or lose Just answer yes or no
5.
I Can't See 03:26
Yesterday my mother told me that I should stop pushing away When everything is how it should be then I should let the good ones stay But it's hard to tell if things are going well And I can't see You can't fight an uphill battle or swim easily upstream It's like running underwater; feels like punching in a dream And I can't see what's in front of me We both wait and let the time pass We count months and weeks and days I can't recall when I saw you last Oh, how the seconds tick away And I can't see how I let you leave Yeah, yeah, yeah
6.
I know a blind photographer, I don't know his name and I don't understand how he picks out his frame So I ask how just looking for closure and he says everything's worth the exposure I know a great bartender who doesn't even drink and I ask him what his customers often think He says thinking's just not what they're here for and if they just keep drinking then he will pour It's alright It's alright I know a car mechanic who doesn't drive a car and I don't understand how he's gotten so far He says life's not about how far you drive; you can just stay in one place and feel alive I know an author who's published but she doesn't read and I told her it's luck that she ever succeeds But she said she excused my misgivings, for when others were reading she was living It's alright, it's alright, it'as alright You'll find your place in life You'll find your place
7.
I don't wanna do the things I've done I don't wanna be the guy I was The past is in the past When I grow up Have a future I can call my own Use my failure as a stepping stone The past is in the past Yes, I have regrets; have more than a few My biggest regret was losing you When I grow up hope my life is nothing short of what it can be when the last chapter's shut The future's here at last Yes, I have regrets; have more than a few My biggest regret was losing you Losing you

Left Behind 02:48
Someday they'll cut you open with a mark on your chest in the shape of a Y They'll see the marks on your insides They'll know how you lived and how you died; everything you tried so hard to hide They'll find the marks I left behind I just hope that some of the marks are mine Someday they'll lower you down underground in the earth beneath my feet, or lay you in a bed made of concrete; visiting with those you left behind 'till the day they can lay by your side You're killing yourself and it's killing me
9.
This is how it all started This is how it all ends This is how it all started This is how it ends Picture yourself in the darkness, nothing around There's no light and there's no feeling, there is no sound Nothing of what's above, what we know now Picture yourself floating freely without a care; no feelings of discontentment in perfect air There's no space, there's no time, all is a void All you've known your whole life has been destroyed Oh, what a burden your future is With nothing certain except for this Picture yourself on a river that you can change; staying dry upon the water, watching it rain; making drops move and stop, isn't it strange? Ever since we came to be what we are today, from the dawn until the time that we fade away, we can choose or refuse everything Fate is not only what you're expecting Oh, what a burden your future is With nothing certain we reminisce Your life flies by Someday you'll die
10.
Time that you enjoyed wasting is not considered wasted time Wasted time When I think too much of living I'm not sure there's anything past 35 Just wasting time So give the time you have to give Don't live to work, just work to live I know, I know it's a cliche. There's reason why it got that way; says everything there is to say Don't have to be like everyone No point if you're not having fun If you don't like it, make a change or this becomes your everyday And you will find that you are Just wasting time Time

Done 03:03
Where I'll go I couldn't say All I know, I leave today 'Cause I'm done with the fights, the sound and the lights, the crowd and the nights of not having rights I'm done with the line of not having time Yeah I'm done, I'm done, I'm done Where I'll go I couldn't say All I know, I leave today When you think about your life, what about it don't you like? When you think about your life When you think about your life 'Cause I'm done with the fights, the sound and the lights, the crowd and the nights of not having rights I'm done with the line of not having time Yeah I'm done, I'm done, I'm done Where I'll go I couldn't say All I know (Is I'm done, I'm done, I'm done) I leave today (I'm done, I'm done, I'm done)
