On the inside
Do you know what you're about
When I see you
I wanna free you
Cos you're always freaking out
We could be riding on the waves of an ocean,
baby
Flying to the beat of our hearts
I wanna make you a star

(Chorus)
Hey Now Now
Don't you know
It's not really that complicated
Hey Now Now
When you come and go
It's so hard for me to sleep at night

Hey Now Now
Listen you
Think of all of the time we've wasted
Hey Now Now, Hey Now Now, Hey Now Now

From the outside
Looking in I see your bright light
Yeah, believe it when I say
Everything will be alright

Gonna stay right here when your sun
don't shine
While your head's still up in the clouds
For crying out loud

(Chorus)

Hey Now Now
Listen you
Think of all of the time we've wasted
Don't ask how but dreams come true
And we'll find a way to make it right

And if you think that innocence is dead
I'll say it's all inside your head
I've got to tell you how I feel
And you know we're gonna make it for real

Meet me halfway
We can't help but come together
I'll make you happy
I'll show you what this love's about

(Chorus)

Hey Now Now
Listen you
Think of all of the time we've wasted
Don't ask how but dreams come true
And we'll find a way to make it right

The World is New

I was just sitting and awaiting
Just thinking, contemplating my life
when I heard the phone
I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you're not alone
Chorus:
When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new.
Life was getting hectic
And things were unexpected
When I first received your call
But now it is the best thing
That filled up what was missing
And now my life is envied by all

Anything But Down

I light your cigarettes
I bring you apples from the vine
How quickly you forget
I run the bath and pour the wine
I bring you everything that floats into your mind

You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
When you come 'round

You are a raging sea
I pull myself out everyday
I plead insanity
'Cause I can't leave, but I can't stay
You say, "Won't you come find me" and "Yes" is what I say

But you don't bring me anything but down
No, you don't bring me anything but down
Everything is crashing to the ground

Maybe I'm not your perfect land
Maybe I'm not what you had in mind
Maybe we're just killing time

You with your silky words
And your eyes of green and blue
You with your steel beliefs
That don't match anything you do
It was so much easier before you became you

Now you don't bring me anything but down
No, you don't bring me anything but down
Everything just crashes to the ground
When you come around, when you come around

No more playing hide and seek
No more long and wasted nights
Can't you make it easy on yourself

I know you wish you were strong
You wish you were never wrong
Well, I got some wishes of my own

Lay Down Lover

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth
Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you
Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger
A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Oh please
Look please lover lay down
Oh please lover lay down
And you weep
Lover lay down
Cause it's over
Lover lay down
Say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover,
say lover
Could I love you
Could you love me (4x)
Darling it's
All the same (4x)
'Til we dance away (4x)
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around
Leading me all around in circles (2x)
Say...

You Get What You Give

Wake up kids
We've got the dreamers disease
Age fourteen
They got you down on your knees
So polite
You're busy still saying please

Frienemies
Who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night
We smash their mercedes-benz
First we run
And then we laugh 'till we cry

But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight

You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget you only get what you give

Four a.m. we ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke
But hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial

But when the night is falling
And you cannot find a friend
You feel your tree is breaking
Just then

You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
You only get what you give

This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be ok follow your heart
You're in harms way I'm right behind
Now say you're mine

You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
You only get what you give
Don't let go
We feel the music in you
Fly high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
You're gonna get what you give
Just dont be afraid to leave

Health insurance rip off lying fad big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion mag shoots
With the aid of 8 dust brothers, Beck, Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around
We'll kick your ass in

Best of Me

I don't think you're ever gonna need to call me by my name anymore
I don't think I'm ever gonna need to be hanging around your door
and I know...

(Chorus)
When time gets the best of me,
it won't matter anymore (2X)

I don't think I want to think about much of anything anymore
(when I get there will you call me by my name)
and it's the same line everytime,
now it's plain to see you just don't get it

I guess you never will

(Chorus - 2 times)

I've been leaving delicate impressions why...
softly slipping something past your side...leave me alone
I don't think you're ever gonna need to call me by my name anymore
I don't think I want to be the one you're turning on when you get bored
(will you call me by my name)
I don't think I'm gonna think about it when it's plain to see,
no one cares
and I know...

Ohh Hey Hey (X2)
Hey you sittin in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
Get down from your tree house sittin in the sky

Thrown down your ladder make a room for me

It's All Been Done

I met you
Before the fall of Rome
And I begged you
To let me take you home
You were wrong and I was right
You said "Goodbye"
I said "Goodnight"

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

I knew you before the west was won.
I heard you say, "the past was much more fun."
You go your way, I'll go mine but I'll see you next time.

Chorus:
It's all been done, It's all been done. It's all been done before.

If I put my fingers here and If I say I love you dear
and if I play the same the three chords will you just yawn
and say, " Ah, I hate it. "

(Chorus )

Alone and bored on a thirtieth century night.
Will I see you on the Price is Right?
Will I cry, will I smile?
As you run, down the aisle.

It's all been done. It's all been done. It's all been done before.
It's all been done. It's all been done. It's all been done.
It's all been done. It's all been done. It's all been done before.

Sad Eyes

Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I don't do much talking
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine
Well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Well for a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Baby don't you know I don't care
Don't you know that I've been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind

I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay, baby, I don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, I don't mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and it'll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in your hair
Like you're so sure I'll be standing here

Slide

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I give you anything
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

Chorus:
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah we're gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can't change
I'll live around it

Chorus

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away

"I Do"

When I'm done with thinking
Then I'm done with you
When I'm done with crying
And then I'm done with you
When I feel so tired
And then I'm done with you
You know everybody feels this way sometimes
Everybody feels this way
And I do
You can't hear it
But I do
You can't hear it
But I do
You're trying to convince me
That what I've done's not right
And I get so frustrated
I stay up every night
You ask me for an answer
And I'm so tired that I'm up in the air
I'm up in the air
You know everybody feels this way sometimes
Everybody feels this way
And I do
You can't hear it
But I do
You can't hear it
But I'm feeling this way
Just because you say
I will be ignored
And I will be denied
And I could be erased
I could be brushed aside
And I will get scared
And I will get shoved down
But I feel like I do
'Cause you push me around
I'm starting to ignore you
I doubted you so long
I'm tired of over-thinking
I know you don't belong
Now I'm asking questions
No one pushes me around
Oh everybody feels this way sometimes
Everybody feels this way
And I do
You can't hear it
But I do
You don't seem angry but I do
I do
I do
I do

"Smoke"

My Lullaby, hung out to dry
What's up with that
It's over

Where are you dad
Mum's lookin' sad
What's up with that
It's dark in here

Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I used to

My mouth is dry
Forgot how to cry
What's up with that
You're hurting me

I'm running fast
Can't hide the past
What's up with that
You're pushing me

Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I used to
I used to
Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling on the floor
Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling on the floor
Why, bleeding is breathing
You're hiding underneath the smoke in the room
Try, bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling on the floor

Tell Me

To be held by you is like a fire growing hotter
But to be spoken to is no more than shallow water
You touch me I feel you
Bit by bit you let love come through
Can it be the fire is lit
How can it be you never say it
Tell me tell me
that I'm the best thing
That ever could happen to you
Tell me tell me
That I'm your baby
And always forever will be
Love comes not from words
I've heard some say it makes me shudder
Even baby birds sing love songs to one another
You hold me I hold you
For all my love you just come through
I'm waiting just let it go and say what I already know
Why don't you
Tell me tell me
That I'm the best thing
That ever could happen to you
Tell me tell me
That I'm your baby
And always forever will be
Can you can you
Express to me the burning that's screaming inside
Can you tell me
Tell me the feelings
The feelings you're trying to hide
Don't keep it inside
Just let it all out
Tell me tell me
That I'm the best thing
That ever could happen to you
Tell me tell me
That I'm your baby
And always forever will be
Can you can you express to me
The burning that's screaming inside
Can you tell me
Tell me the feelings
The feelings you're trying to hide
Don't keep it inside
Just let it all out

Where Are You Tonight?

time and time again i have tried
to understand what you need
but there's only so much to give
did you hear that
time and time again i have tried
to understand what you still deny
i can hear you by my side, but tell me please
where are you tonight

now you watch the space
i can see you just look around
and you've just got to say what you want
and sometime maybe it'll come around
you know it's hard to be so close
and feel you're losing what you need the most
i can hear you by my side
tell me please where are you tonight
time and time again i have tried
to understand what you still deny

i can hear you by my side
tell me please where are you tonight
tell me did you hear that
could you hear it anyway

Reality Hurts

I've been thinking it over
Trying to convince myself
I'd rather be living in a fantasy
Than try to turn you into somebody else

Reality it hurts
State of mood I'm in
And I should not confess
So I'm trying to pretend
Reality it hurts
Reality it hurts

Everytime you try to hold me I go and run for the door
When I find your body lying next to mine
Well, I wanna know what it is I really, really love you for

Reality it hurts
The state of mood I'm in
And I should not confess
So I'm trying to pretend
Reality it hurts
Reality it hurts

I've been searching for an answer
Trying to fall back in love
As I fantasize I come to realize
Everything you are is never really good enough

Reality it hurts
The state of mood I'm in
And I should not confess
So I'm trying to pretend
When you're lying in my bed
You'll be trying to pretend

Reality it hurts
The state of mood I'm in
And I should not confess
When I'm trying to pretend
When you're lying in my bed
You'll be trying to confess
When you're lying in my bed
Reality it hurts

You

After hours of deep thoughts
I came to the conclusion you're just not
meant to be with me
Everytime there's a mistake
you leave
Suffering under my smile
I'd be better off, alone for awhile
crying to myself
Cause I don't belong here
You're so different from me
Well, I want to be with you
But you make it so hard
And don't try to hold my hand
And don't try to understand
Don't tell your lies
I know them all
By now

You say you love me
and do you love her less than this?
No.
I can tell by those "I love you" kisses
you give her in front of me
and I don't want this any more than you do
and I don't want you to say
that it's all gonna be OK
Cause I don't belong here
You're so different from me
Well, I want to be with you
But you make it so hard
And don't try to hold my hand
And don't try to understand
Don't tell your lies
I know them all
By now

Cause I, I don't belong here
You're so different from me
Well, I want to be with you
But you make it so hard
And don't try to hold my hand
And don't try to understand
Don't tell your lies
We've been over this
A hundred times......
