I Keep Forgetting

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Honey now, can you not, not get enough
honey now
I don't know why
I keep forgetting

First Few Days
04:26
|
|||
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

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

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

Find Your Place
03:19
|

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

When I Grow Up
03:15
|
|||
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

What A Burden
04:20
|
|||
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

Time Enjoyed Wasting
03:32
|
|||
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)
