Dreams of Disaster
04:38

Let me get a picture of this moment
I just want a memory of this time and place
cause it's been a long long time and I'm not coming back
maybe when we get a little older
we might see the light between the cracks
but it's been a long long time and we're not coming back
If you want you can meet me there
pull it off, push it in
let yourself be free of sin
and when the storm comes rolling in
don't be scared, I'm right here
we can ride it out my dear
even though we never got a warning
something terrible was trying to get inside
and I'm getting tired of keeping it out
lately all my dreams are of disaster
and leaving destruction in my wake
if you won't bend I might just break
If you want you can meet me there
pull it off, push it in
let yourself be free of sin
and when the storm comes rolling in
don't be scared, I'm right here
we can ride it out my dear
I'm not scared if we fall

The Big Chillout
04:24
|

|
Heat wave
softening the tissue and the bone
till we melt in a puddle on the ground
it gets hotter everyday
so we gotta find a brand new way around
feel it boiling up inside you now
it's getting
way too hot and heavy in here
it's coming up, too hot to handle anymore
chillout, cool down
you're burning up, don't blow it now!
Danger, it seems your luck has just began to change
no escape from the red light in your eyes
shut down the false alarm
you just found a brand new way around
it's getting
way too hot and heavy in here
it's coming up, too hot to handle anymore
chillout, cool down
you're burning up, don't blow it now!
Chill out
Cool down

In a way
in the strangest way this is all your fault
but who am I?
who am I to say
we took the money
we took the money and ran so far away
I struck the match
you fanned the flames
you would never believe
I could treat you this way
but I did anyway
and you're letting it slide
yes I'll do it again
you'll never take me alive
Watchdogs asleep on the job
I chase my tail
sometimes I do just fine
most times I fail
you would never believe
I could treat you this way
but I did anyway
and you're letting it slide
yes I'll do it again
you'll never take me alive
you'll never take me
you'll never take me
you'll never take me alive

Gone Again
04:15
|

|
I saw an old friend again today
I hadn't seen her since the summer when we moved away in '98
we used to sit out talking all day in the sun
we never worried about the endgame
time lasts forever when you're young
but little did we know
Another season's gone again
before we noticed we were swept up by the wind
how'd it get so easy living like the end is just ahead?
but anyway
I heard an old song again today
the melody reminded me of time we spent at your old place
close your eyes and let it take you back
somewhere out between the valley and the T is where I'll be
come and find me
Another year is gone again
before we noticed we were swept up by the wind
how'd it get so easy living like the end is just ahead
but anyway
I drove through the old neighborhood today
the trees are taller but nothing much has changed
and I love the sound of rain
coming down to wash it all away again
but anyway
it's hard to say
where we'll be in a year or two
but I'll be right here
waiting for you
another 5 years gone again
before we noticed we were swept up by the wind
how'd it get so easy living like the end is just ahead
but anyway
another friend is gone again
before I noticed she was swept up by the wind
how'd I get so good at
missing every chance I ever had
to live in the moment

In Or Out

Everybody wants to go
out tonight to see the show
except for Charlie he don't know
if he's got the cash to blow
everybody needs a friend
someone just as strange as them
but Jessie's acting weird again
and we got a problem
Charlie's on his couch at home
his friends are blowing up his phone
the party's hopping but he knows
he's gonna spend tonight alone
Jessie's getting mad again
he's throwing punches at my head
and I'll try and be the bigger man
but I gotta stop him
Charlie are you in or out
I gotta know right now
I can't stand around here waiting on you no more
Jessie will you hear me out we gotta make this work
I don't really care about what you did way back then
Charlie you should come on out
everybody's here and they love when you're around
Jessie lets just settle down
I don't want to fight can I buy you another round
Oh no
Let's Go!
Charlie are you in or out
I gotta know right now
I can't stand around here waiting on you no more
Jessie will you hear me out we gotta make this work
I don't really care about what you did way back then
Charlie are you coming out?
Jessie are we gonna work it out?
I'm here can you help me out anyone please?
next time if you're feeling right maybe I'll see you there

Melody
03:27

Woken
by the melody that haunts me in my dreams
I'm broken
but she seems to capture how I feel quite perfectly
So if I could just remember
I'd sing it back for you
If I could just remember
I'd sing it back for you
Softly
she whispers like the raindrops on the glass
it's fleeting
but it's sad and sweet and never seems to last
So if I could just remember
I'd sing it back for you
If I could just remember
I'd sing it back for you
So if I could just remember
I'd sing it back for you
If I could just remember
I'd sing it back for you

Where Are My Friends?
03:28
|
|||
|
I have tried to write this song about a hundred different times
but whenever I play it I just can't quite get it right
it all sounds too familiar, like I heard it somewhere before
and I don't like the sound of my own voice when I try and sing the words
ever since you left me, nothing's been the same
I'm surrounded by unprocessed thoughts you planted in my brain
there might be an answer, and the answer might start with me
but I'm blackout drunk again tonight so we'll have to just wait and see
I'll stay up and write this song in my head
until it makes sense
where the hell are my friends?
did they make other plans?
oh well, who needs them
here in my illusion, everything is green
knife dissected beauty, pretty and pristine
my words are never clever, and I've known this all along
so maybe I should give up on trying to write this song
I'll stay up all night, play it back in my head
again and again
where the hell are my friends?
did they make other plans?
oh well who needs them
what could I know about this?
it's been so long, with nothing to show
what could I know about this?
you'll never know, and I'll never tell
I have tried to sing this song a million times for you
but when I open up my mouth, no music's coming through
maybe I can't sum it up in just one single tune
so I'll just write another one and maybe you'll sing it too
I'll stay up and write this song my head
until it makes sense
where the fuck are my friends?
did they make other plans?
oh well who needs them
oh well who needs them
oh well who needs them
...not me

Temple
04:42
|

|
When our garden starts to wilt
when this temple that we built, starts coming down
if the moment feels right
if we make it through the night, where should we go?
Do you feel it like I do when you hear it?
is it hard to admit to yourself
when you hear my name
does it feel like we're one in the same?
lock it up and hide the key
try and rid your thoughts of me, but it's no use
everybody needs a friend
stick with me until the end, I'll stick with you
Do you feel it like I do when you hear it?
is it hard to admit to yourself
when you hear my name
does it feel like we're one in the same?
I'm always confusing
she's lighting my fuses

I can't get too close to you without falling in
I can't get too close to you without making a fool of my self again
now I'm not the kind of guy who's easily magnetized
but she's got a hold on me that I just can't deny
I can't explain these laws of attraction
but she got a good reaction from me
tied to a string on the end of her finger that I couldn't see
She don't waste her time with that song and dance
but it's alright, I'll get my chance, yeah!
I can't get too close to you without falling in
I can't get too close to you without making a fool of my self again
but I just can't stop falling in love when you're close to me
so get a little bit closer
I've been flipping this switch for a bit too long
maybe she's into me, maybe she just likes this song
but I intend to find out
I'm a satellite, in her orbit all night
until the signal to come on home
I'm just waiting for that 5,4,3,2,1 oh oh
she don't have to ask me twice, alright let's go
I can't get too close to you without falling in
I can't get too close to you without making a fool of my self again
but I just can't stop falling in love each time you come around
you've got me hanging on the line
maybe it's not too bad to let the moment pull us in
cause you've been driving me out of my mind
so get a little bit closer
get a little bit closer
get a little bit closer
I can't get too close to you without falling in
I can't get too close to you without making a fool of my self again
I can't get too close to you without falling in
I can't help from falling in love when you're closing in
I can't get too close to you without falling in
I can't help from falling in love when you're closing in
I just can't stop falling in love when you're close to me

lonely people, making little X's in the dark
with no idea where to start
broken records, setting all the phasers back to kill
the water never looked so still
all the things we wish said
waiting for the sun to set
to let it out
spun the table while you read
nothing saved and nothing spent
to tear it down
floating gardens
temporary lovers in the rain
went out the window through the pane
funny how we
never seemed to figure out this game
all our efforts were in vain
all the things we wish said
waiting for the sun to set
to let it out
spun the table while you read
nothing saved and nothing spent
to tear it down
If you want to let me go
I won't complain but you should know
everything was all for show
and if you want to make that call
I won't be there to take the fall
you can win and have it all
all the things we wish said
waiting for the sun to set
to let it out
spun the table while you read
nothing saved and nothing spent
to tear it down
nothing saved and nothing spent
to tear it down
nothing saved and nothing spent
to tear it down

Late Night Game
04:07
|
|||
|
once, I was crushed
from the moment I saw her eyes
and twice, the clock is right
each day despite its broken face
and thrice I devised
a way to break out from this cage I made
but I don't like it outside anymore
So don't make me wait for the late night game tonight
don't make me wait for your late night game tonight
four in the morning
wide awake alone again
three times I tried to close my eyes and get some sleep
and there's two hours left
until the sun comes up on me again
and I'll wake up back in the real world
So don't make me wait for the late night game tonight
don't make me wait for your late night game tonight
Life is so dark and angry
because I'm so tired and angsty
I just need someone to tell me
I'm the only one who can help me
save me from the possibility
I'm starting to lose my reality
I can't find my way in the dark
and I need someone's help to fix this tear in my heart
don't make me wait
your game is a bit too late
I'm not gonna wait
your game is a bit too late
I got tired of waiting
don't make me explain it again to you
don't make me wait
don't make me wait
don't make me wait
don't make me wait

Everybody
03:35
|
|||
|
let's try again
everybody here knows my name
everybody here talks the same
takes away my troubles
takes away my pain
because everybody here knows my name
but it don't seem to matter,
cause you treat me the same
I don't mind, I don't mind
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
everybody here wants me dead
everybody here's seeing red
must have been my temper
or something I had said
but now everybody here wants me dead
it don't seem to matter
everything I've said, I don't care
I don't care, oh no, oh no
everybody here
just wants to see it through except for you
everybody here
just needs a friend or two except for you
except for you
everybody here knows my name
everybody here looks the same
takes away my trouble
takes away my pain
everybody here knows my name
That last part is just bulls--t, anyway
