The Way It Really Is
I kept talking to myself
I had to get the words out of my head
So I did
You barely said a thing
You kind of heard me out and then you said
You said
"You're crazy, why do you keep doing this?
Everything is fine."
Then I think, I'm crazy
I do this all the time
Until I start to think that nothing's even wrong
Maybe I am
Hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it
The way it really is
The way it really is
Sometimes your intentions
Are totally impossible to read
What does that mean?
Sometimes even I
Have no idea what I need
I wish I did
I'm crazy
Why do I keep doing this?
Everything is fine
Then you think I'm crazy
I do this all the time
Until I start to think
That something's really wrong
Maybe I am
Hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it
The way it really is
The way it really is
Looking through my window
At the big blue sky
The lazy sun is shining and so I run outside
To look for you
I look for you
And then it starts to rain
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Is that the way it really is?
Maybe we're just
Maybe we’re just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't want to see it
The way it really is
Maybe I am
Hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it
The way it really is
Maybe I am
Hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just
A picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be
The way I wish it really was
Maybe I don't wanna see it
Maybe I don't want to see it
Maybe I don't want to see it
The way it really is
The way it really is
The way it really is
The way it really is
The way it really is

We Could Still Belong Together
If I hold my breath
If I shut my eyes
If I disappear
Just for the afternoon
If I can't help shouting
If I lock you out
If it's not important
Completely unimportant
To anyone else but me
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow
If I interrupt and
If I cut you off and
If I like attention
And other worse things I could mention
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow
We could still belong together
And together’s so much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow
But if you make a mistake
We're through
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow
We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow
Oh wow
Yes I complicate, I know
It's just my way but
If is a question
That I ask and nothing more

Bring Me Up
I was quiet, and I was tired
And I wanted you to bring me up
I wanted you to make it stop
Yeah I wanted you to bring me up
You were wrong, and I was right
And I wanted you to bring me up
Hmm you know me well
This is something that I shouldn't have to tell you
We've shared humility and orange roses
And poking fun at all our friends
They had their barbecues
We have our arguments
We never can agree
You said, "when you don't talk you take it out on me"
But I was quiet, I was tired
And I wanted you to bring me up
I wanted you to make it stop,
Yeah I wanted you to bring me up
And you were wrong and I was right
And I wanted you to bring me up
Hmm you know me well,
This is something that I shouldn't have to tell you
We took a ride, on a motorbike
I couldn't talk to you, but my arms
Were wrapped around you tight
We stopped at Smokey's,
We parked the bike outside
So scared to be sad, to keep the tears in
I looked up at the sky and took another ride
I was quiet, and I was tired
And I wanted you to bring me up
I wanted you to make it stop
Yeah I wanted you to bring me up
And you were wrong and I was right
And I wanted you to bring me up
Hmm you know me well
We had us, is that enough?
And what is it worth to you?
We have us, is that enough?
And what is it worth to you?
You said, "it's worth everything and baby take a look,
It's worth all the pennies in my pocket"
But I was quiet, and I was tired
And I wanted you to bring me up
I wanted you to make it stop,
Yeah I wanted you to bring me up
I was quiet, and I was tired
And I wanted you to bring me up
Hmm you know me well,
This is something that I shouldn't have to tell you.
I was quiet, and I was tired
And I wanted you to bring me up
I wanted you to make it stop,
Yeah I wanted you to bring me up
So I was wrong and you were right
Bring me home

Kick Start
We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going
We sit on our couch
While we watch our TV
And the phone doesn't ring
And it's perfect
To be here playing house
Is no comfort to me
It's just more of the same
Again and again and again
We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going
Trying so hard
To dig ourselves out
Cause we're stuck and we're scared
And we're thinking
Things have to change
It's the thoughts that don't count
Can something be done?
Don't let this decision drag on
We need a kick start
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
If we're really going
If we're really going
We need a big push
To reach the right conclusion
So we can get there
If we're really going
If we're really going
Let's go
We need a quick solution
We need a next step
To reach the right conclusion
We need a kick start
We need a kick start

Underdog
I like things that are so good
You are so so good
I like you
But I am the underdog
I am the last in line
Don't be the enemy
Don't stand in back of me
Freezing, boring,
Wondering where I'll be on my birthday
You kissed me in a dream last night,
How could I
I wouldn't know,
Cause I am the underdog
I am the last in line
Don't be the enemy,
Don't stand in back of me
Will you be my friend?
Now I understand, that I more than like you
But I am the underdog
I am the last in line
Don't be the enemy,
Don't stand in back of me.
La la la da da
La la la da da
La la la da da
I am the underdog
I am the last in line
Don't be the enemy
Don't stand in back of me
I am the underdog
I am the last in line
Don't be the enemy
Don't be the enemy
I like things that are so good
You are so so good

You Don't Know Me
She has a boyfriend
All of a sudden
She's never had one before
She's looking for the thumbs-up
When they're walking through the door
She's showing him off
By making him talk
She's putting her hand in his pocket
It shows on her face
What she doesn't say
What she doesn't say
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
She doesn't know that we know
That we've been here before
We always pay attention
When she walks through the door
It's the clothes that she chooses
It's the words that she uses
She says
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don’t know me at all
She's trying hard to pretend
That it's not really happening
But we can see her smiling from afar
We don't see her much anymore
But we can hear her whistling
When she walks to her car
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don’t know me at all
You don’t know me at all
You don’t know me at all
You don’t know me at all
You don’t know me at all

Everyday
Goodbye my love, I am going
I am slowing you down
I can feel you stop breathing, when I come around
I'm slowing you down
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back and just stands in my way
Goodbye my love, you don't get me
You don't let me inside
You once kept me close, when you wanted to hide
You pulled me in close, just to push me aside,
Goodbye
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back just to stand in my way
Goodbye my love, I'm going away
I know you won't follow me far
Once I went out, just to look at the stars
I asked you to join me, but you were too tired
I wanted you to see them too
Why did I let myself need you?
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Goodbye my love, I am going
I am slowing you down
I can feel you stop breathing
When I come around
I'm slowing you down
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Love turns its back just to stand in my way

Payback
Is this how it ends, lying in bed
Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever
They wanted to know how could I leave you
I can't tell them that
It might sound like revenge
Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure,
Some things you can't feel safe about
Where do I start?
I was waiting for my head to clear up
I thought I was smart
I'd find the answers in time
But the answers I find,
Aren't what you want to hear
They're not even close
Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure
Some things you can' t feel safe about
Some things don't need a clear up
You got that?
I remember good things like the van breaking down
I sat on your lap in the auto repair
And you touched my hair
While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside
Don't take revenge
Just let it lie
The easiest thing, is if you just let it die
Don't give me a chance
You don't owe me that
Don't follow me out
I'll think your coming for some payback
Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure
Some things you can't feel safe about
Some things don't need a clear up
You got that?
Why did I leave?
How long did it take?
It could take forever
But some things don't need a payback
You got that?
You got that?

Someone You Should Know
Who do you think you are?
You're talking so loud
You bury the sound
Of your heart that's singing out
And where do you want to be?
On the top of your world
But you're just a girl
Who forgot what it's like to dream
You leave everything behind
But you're so tired
One day you might open up your eyes to find
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you've got what you’ve always wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
You try to hide between the lines
Of a story never told
But I've seen you run away
You're afraid of the fall
The weight of it all it’s too much
But you might change your mind
If you'd stand up one day
You might open up your eyes and find
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you've got what you’ve always wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
How do you keep it up?
It's all just a front
A dangerous stunt
You're gonna come down soon enough
Open up your eyes
Don't be scared
You might find you had it all the time
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you tried so hard to hide
It was there between the lines
Of the story never told
About someone you should know
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
What you've got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
What you've got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know

Too Fast Driving
Driving I was thinking
You're my flat tire
Too late at night in the pitch black, out of sight
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
Driving I was thinking
You're my flat tire
Not a blow out,
But a screeching halt,
Lots of ice, no salt
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
Don't want to think about how much,
And what's the limit
Don't want to think about the limit
And am I in it
Am I in it?
And am I in it?
Am I in it?
And am I in it?
Am I in it?
Am I in it?
Driving I was thinking
You're my flat tire
You're gonna crash,
You're stupid, loud
You're reckless, you're spinning out
And too fast driving
And too fast driving
And too fast driving

Drops Me Down
I walked away to get wisdom
But in the end I just walked home
And it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
It was the same song and it's making me sad
Cause I think that it's happened
And it hasn't been had
And it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
And I'm injured again
Yeah it's sick and I'm sucked in
Yeah I'm at it again
It's sick and I'm sucked in
It's sick and I'm sucked in
Cause I had some things so dear
Slip away and leave me here
And it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again
Yeah, it drops me, drops me down
And I'm not feeling so good again

She's Falling Apart
They pull up their chairs to the table
She stares at the food on her plate
At the toast and the butter
Her father, her mother, she pushes away
And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
She gets home from school too early
And closes the door to her room
There's nothing inside her
She's weak and she's tired of feeling like this
And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
They call her for dinner
She makes up a reason
She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves
And her mother is starting to see through her lies
And last night her father had tears in his eyes
And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
And we rise in the morning
And we sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart
She’s falling apart
