Yesterday I found something in my room
It was a G.I. Joe comic book that I had
And suddenly a feeling overcame my gloom
And I realized how things were back in the past
and I'll never feel the same
and I'll always feel the pain
of nostalgia
because I know someday I'll find inside
another reason why
I still want to hold on
And so I've realized what I want to be
No matter how pathetic I may sound to you
But at least I still can hold on to those memories
And now I've found a way to make it through
and I'll never feel the same
and I'll always feel the pain
of nostalgia
because I know someday I'll find inside
another reason why
I still want to hold on
I know I know I cannot be
Trapped inside a world of yesterday
But you can't tell me it's not true
That it feels good to hold on
Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
I don't know why
Depression it comes and goes
(throughout my whole life
it's something that I've known)
Familiar to me like a recurring dream
One happy moment
The next I am sad
because it grips me like I've never felt
I'm sorry if I did anything
can I be of any help?
can I be of any help to you my friend?
We have all felt sad
More than once in our lives
(the problems we've had
but choose not to share)
Do some feel it more often
than others do?
Well if that is true
I feel I qualify
because it grips me like I've never felt
I'm sorry if I did anything
can I be of any help?
can I be of any help to you my friend?
Stay
Another day you're not with me
We can always be together in our dreams
So I'll await for you tomorrow
And think of all the good times
And the places we will go
But I am laughing all the while
Because I can see you smile
At all those times we've had alone
So I'll refuse to feel the pain I feel within
And tell you once again
please don't go
because I don't want to say
goodbye another night
so let's just work it out
you're my life
so why not stay with me for just another night
Another night has passed again
And without you in my life there's an emptiness within
While others grow tired of each other through the years
I meet you for the first time every day I see you here
But I am laughing all the while
Because I can see you smile
At all those times we've had alone
So I'll refuse to feel the pain I feel within
And tell you once again
As this song comes to an end
please don't go
because I don't want to say
goodbye another night
so let's just work it out
you're my life
so why not stay with me
for just another night
The Waiting Hurt
Waiting here watching VH1
Counting Crows is playing "Round Here"
And I'm not having fun
Because you're not here with me
three more years-six more days to go
until I see you again
and here I sit alone
one more time around
it's not time for me to go
let me wallow just this once
and drown my sorrows in this glass
So I try to get my mind off her
But it's not working tonight
I wait for her letters
And dream we're together
One more time
three more years-six more days to go
until I see you again
and here I sit alone
one more time around
it's not time for me to go
let me wallow just this once
and drown my sorrows in this glass
I can't remember the last time
Because it's been a long time since I've cried like this
Back long before we even met
Somehow I knew
The sound of your voice when you first said
Those words in the classroom
And when you harassed me I was glad
Because it was from you
Before I even knew
So What
Well I just thought about you
And all the things you do
How you're a friend of mine and got stabbed in the back
Taking what belongs to you
Now you're less talkative when I'm around
And something is not right
The things you said before
When you go out the door
Don't forget who your friends are
so now you're either with me or against me
and now you're really showing yourself
well how am I supposed to think good of you
when all you do is raise all this hell?
Right about now you can do your best
(like all the rest)
Right now you're rolling your eyes
And you're talkin some shit
To all the friends that your with
Well I have no more to say
Except stay away
And just leave me alone because you don't understand
One fucking thing about friends
so now you're either with me or against me
and now you're really showing yourself
well how am I supposed to think good of you
when all you do is raise all this hell?
So what now?
Solemn
You've lost me now again
Burns my heart away
For me to hear you say
Words so solemn
It's hurting now again
Now that you're away
Forgive me as I stare into your eyes
tears me up inside
at last I must decide
can I just be friends with you?
what am I supposed to do?
I'll find another way to see this heartache through
You make a fool of me
For you it's so easy
I've tried my best to keep
My pride within me
I know it sounds sad to say
But I'm in your way
Because there is nothing I can do or say to make it right
tears me up inside
at last I must decide
can I just be friends with you?
what am I supposed to do?
I'll find another way to see this heartache through
I'm blinded by the light of love I have for you
Won't you come with me?
I'll lead the way for you
I can't compare the sadness that I feel away from you
Mid-Season Change
It's an autumn day right now inside my head
And the leaves are turning brown outside
Summer now is dead
And after all this time that I have had alone
I wish I could return to the place that I call home
But I know that I won't
remember when you played those songs of yesterday
that bring back all the good times
and the feel of better days
With all the dying ambiance my mind sits still
Nostalgia sets in again and takes me back to feel
That loneliness inside me that reminds me of
Familiar devil winds that blow into and trhough my soul
And now I'll never know
remember when you played those songs of yesterday
that bring back all the good times
and the feel of better days
And now that I am here with eyes that swell with tears
I realize that there is something wrong
With living in those days
I can't relive those autumn days
Somewhere
Somewhere inside there is place that feels
There is a place with no ideals
And somewhere inside there is a man that knows
That there is hope for a crying world
How we people treat ourselves
And how we make our lives like a living hell
Because somewhere inside there is a place that feels
And somehwere inside there is
a man that feels
there is someone inside
there is someone inside
there is someone inside that's
afraid of you
Some are on talk shows
all day long
With not a clue what's
going on
Go on thinking a certain way
Ignorance is here to stay
will they feel a change
of pace?
will they see it a
different way?
well I sure hope there is
change real soon
Or any evolution take it's
toll on you
Tribute
I feel so f a r a w a y
And so unclose to you
He feels just as I
Just the same as I do to
Born into a world where consequences take their toll on us
why me?
what for?
what did we ever do
to deserve such cruelty to me?
our mother loves us only as a responsibility
is this what you call a dysfunctional family?
Why are we insignificant
And less important to mommy
Than others are to you?
Forced maturity we're left alone with nothing but ourselves
why me?
what for?
what did we ever do
to deserve such cruelty to me?
our mother loves us only as a responsibility
is this what you call a dysfunctional family?
Empty
I don't understand
There is something so unclear
And I can't comprehend
What's going on
What's going on inside your head?
Is something wrong with me?
so I'll keep asking
do you like what you see?
because this is all of me
so here I wait for you
I'm not at all displeased (with you)
eventually I'll be left here feeling empty again
I'm still so confused about the part where you said
That you're in my way
There is no one that can give me inspiration like you
And I'm still wondering why
so I'll keep asking
do you like what you see?
because this is all of me
so here I wait for you
I'm not at all displeased
eventually I'll be left here feeling empty again
I'm not about to throw away all the hope I've gained today
I wish I knew a tune for you so I could sing away this gloom
All the tears I've held in pain should wash it all away
But I'm not really sure
So I'll keep asking
Shells
It's been a long time since we've gone
Those summer days are done
I won't forget those times we walked
By the tide pools skipping stones and shells
Those days I'll always miss
I can see us running down that road
(me and you alone)
and as the sun sets down again we'll go
back to that place where we belong
Let's take a long walk down this beach
Put memories in reach
And watch the ebb tide wash away
The worries of the day
And now it all seems like a dream
It seems like such a dream
I can see us running down that road
(me and you alone)
and as the sun sets down again we'll go
back to that place where we belong
back where we belong
