I'M SORRY

We live in a little room in a little house
In a small town
And that's alright with me
But what holds me up just holds you back
'Cause you see a bigger world
That's full of possibilities
I didn't mean to play it safe
And rain on your parade

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe. I'm sorry

You say the walls are closing in and you can't breathe
It's sink or swim
You need to spread your wings
Well I'm afraid of what you see, the way you think
That things could be
And what tomorrow brings
Sometimes when I think too much
I fall out of touch

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe, I'm sorry
Yeah I'm sorry

I'm like a deer caught in the headlights
When the future looks so bright

You say the walls are closing in and you can't breathe
It's sink or swim
You need to spread your wings

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe, I'm sorry

I was wrong, you were right
I can see the other side
Didn't mean to start a fight, I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
And if it seems I don't believe
I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry

I was tired, half asleep
When you shared your dreams with me
I was wrong, you were right, I'm sorry

We live in a little room in a little house
In a small town

CARRY

Hey - don't you realize i'm right here at your feet
O.K., life came crashing down and left you incomplete
Well maybe I could mend the broken soul behind your eyes
And wipe away the tears that always fill tomorrow's sky

CHORUS:
I wanna climb inside your window tonight
Let all your dreams unfurl
When the heavens fall and stars collide
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world

Why does the sun come up and leave us in the dark
We try, but the road is rough, sometimes it falls apart
Well everytime it rains a piece of hope gets washed away
So let me give you shelter from the pain of yesterday

I wanna climb inside your window tonight
Let all your dreams unfurl
When the heavens fall and stars collide
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world

And I know it - I don't show it - I've felt like suicide
No escape here - now or later
Everybody's searchin for a place to hide

So let me give you shelter from the pain of yesterday
I wanna climb inside your window tonight
Let all your dreams unfurl
When the heavens fall and stars collide
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world
I'm gonna carry the weight of your world
Yeah I will carry the weight of your world

Disarray

Think this over
If you don't it's going to take me under
When I can't afford to be a step down from anyone
That I've ever been

I've known for a while now
This inhibition has got a hold of my every move
It makes me want to step down from everything
I've been trying to be

Disarray, disarray let the disorder come
Just like in California, where I'm from, I'm from
And say like everyone
You know its in me
So tell me why I always disagree, disagree

Doing nothing
Has just as many consequences
I'm sure you know
But failing is the one thing above it all
That drives us away

Its my personality
I know you know it
Do you know what you mean to me
And did you know that you're the one thing above it all
But now you're going away

Disarray, disarray let the disorder come
Just like in California, where I'm from, I'm from
And say like everyone
You know its in me
So tell me why I always disagree, disagree

WORLDS APART

Sometimes it seems there's nothing in common
Sometimes it seems we can't work it out
The walls are up – the lines are down
What can we do to turn this love around

CHORUS:
Two people – worlds apart
Hw can we turn this wrong to right
One love drifting worlds apart
You and I – we're like Venus and Mars tonight

Am I just looking for a reason to leave you
Are you looking for an easy way out
Are we headed for a head-on collision
Can someone tell me what's love all about

CHORUS

When the night comes down – and she's not around
Do you throw it all away
Don't you know by now, like the stars above
This love is here to stay

CHORUS

UNBREAKABLE

What just happened, now I don't understand
Breaking up was never what you said you planned
Everything we had has hit the wall
I don't get it
I thought we were unbreakable
I thought we were unbreakable

You said the day I met you
Our lives would never be the same
One night and I believed you
Who knew that to you it was a game

Now I'm starting to wonder, there's rain and there's thunder
The clouds are so dark and the roof that I'm under
Is leaking all over, I'm totally wet
And the moment that I met you now I'm starting to regret

What just happened, now I don't understand
Breaking up was never what you said you planned
Everything we had has hit the wall
I don't get it
I thought we were unbreakable
I thought we were unbreakable

I know I missed the warnings
Yeah I was getting in too deep
You made those stupid promises
I knew no one could ever keep

But I bought it, believed it, though you didn't mean it
I must be a loser cause I should've seen it
I guess I was dreaming but now I'm awake
Yeah the moment that I got with you was my biggest mistake

What just happened, now I don't understand
Breaking up was never what you said you planned
Everything we had has hit the wall
I don't get it
I thought we were unbreakable
Yeah, I thought we were unbreakable

I don't get it!

What just happened, now I don't understand
Breaking up was never what you said you planned
Everything we had has hit the wall
I don't get it
I thought we were unbreakable
I thought we were unbreakable
I thought we were unbreakable
Yeah, I thought we were unbreakable

I thought we were unbreakable

THROW MY HEART AWAY

Shadows on the bedroom wall
Mem'ries that will never call
Look around and all I have is nothing without you
Photographs in broken frames
Dreams all going up in flames
Everything has come apart, I don't know what to do
Tell me I should hold on
Just tell me anything
'Cause the days are dark when you're gone
Won't you pull me back in

CHORUS:
Yeah we had something golden, now it's turned to shades of grey
Don't you throw, don't you throw my heart away
Now tomorrow is all shattered with remains of yesterday
Don't you throw, don't you throw my heart away

Staring at a setting sun
We want it all while we're still young
You need the world but I was happy hanging onto you
Voices have been haunting me
The ghost of you I swear won't leave
Alone with all this emptiness but that'll have to do
Why'd you slam the door on me
I'm locked inside this misery
Digging through the refuse searching for the key

CHORUS

Shadows on the bedroom wall
Memories that will never call
Everything has come apart, I don't know what to do

CHORUS
Yeah we had something golden, now it's turned to shades of grey
Don't you throw, don't you throw my heart away
Now tomorrow is all shattered with remains of yesterday
Don't you throw, don't you throw my heart away
Don't you throw, don't you throw my heart away
Don't you throw, don't you throw my heart away

NEVER FORGET

I remember your eyes as I'm telling myself
That without you I'll never survive these cold nights
Watching rain crashing down through the window today
I was holding you close in my mind

How you silenced the good, always numb, always sad
Hanging words out to dry as you drowned all our plans
In a river that's torrid and tortured with pain
It was blind luck I got out alive

But I know we're given what we give
And I know that someday I will forgive... But

Never forget what time it was
I'll never forget the way we touched
Never forget how dreams get crushed
I always will remember to never forget
Never forget

Did I lose who I was, did I find who I am
As I dig through the trash that has cluttered my life
I'm not angry, I'm scared, I can't sleep here alone
Being right sometimes comes at a price

But I know we're given what we give
And I know that someday I will forgive... But

Never forget what time it was
I'll never forget the way we touched
Never forget how dreams get crushed
I always will remember to never forget
Never forget

I'll never forget what time it was
I'll never forget the way we touched
Never forget how dreams get crushed
I always will remember, I always will remember
I always will remember to never forget
Never forget
Never forget
Never forget

IS IT TOO LATE

Some words are better left unsaid it's said
But in this case that's not true
No one can ever really change the past
Or the way I treated you
Some words might've changed things, that now I can't undo
Hey, can you hear me, I'm trying to get through, but...

Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to say.... what I

Wanted to tell you for a long time now
How much I always cared, and yet
My pride and fear got the best of me, somehow
I just managed to forget
When I came across the words, I lost them, now I've found them again
Will you understand now what I should've said then

Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you

Solo

Some words might've changed things, that now I can't undo
Hey, can you hear me, I'm trying to get through,
I've tried everything I could to say it's for the best
I stand here holding nothing, just these words are left

Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you
Is it too late
Is it too late to tell you

A BETTER WAY

Everything I knew is now a question in my mind
I'm watching pieces of me fade away
All my points of view are from another place and time
My dreams have come and gone, but that's okay

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

Where are all the heroes that I thought could save the day
A comic book of friends that didn't last
Maybe I'll do better if I turn and walk away
Leaving clouds of trouble in the past

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

They say I'll fall on my face
Well I might stumble, that's okay
But I think I have found a better way

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

I think I can see a better way for me
Maybe I can get it right this time
Nothing is for sure, but that's okay for me
I'll be fine, yeah I'll be fine

OVER FROM THE START

There's nothing left to keep me here
Nothing left to feel
A shattered memory fills this room
A pain that never heals
I wish that I could take it back
But how was I to know
Tomorrow gives no promises
There's nothing here to hold and it's over
Yeah it's over

CHORUS:
Now my world's been torn apart
Was it over from the start (over)
Alone I believed
Aren't you glad you're not me?
In the end we went too far
It was over from the start
Alone is when I bleed
Aren't you glad you're not me -
It's over --
It was over from the start

Why are things the way they are
I just don't understand
The past is rushing through my life
I'm left with empty hands
The silence here is deafening
There's no place that I can go
I wish I could have seen it coming
I guess you never know when it's over -- yeah it's over

CHORUS

Just hold on, hold on -- How was I to know
Just hold on, hold on -- It was over long ago
Just hold on, hold on -- I hate this place since you've been gone
Just hold on, hold on

CHORUS

WHERE IT'S AT

If your head keeps spinning
'Cause someone else is winning
And you're lost in a game of chance
Where every time you make a little decision
It's like nuclear fission
Life explodes right in your lap

Now's the time to stop, look around
Get both feet on the ground
Dig the view, take your foot off the gas
You're moving way too fast, you don't need to worry
Slow down, hey what's the hurry
Take your time, baby, just relax

And don't look back, forget about tomorrow
Right now is where it's at, And don't you know that you are
Right on track, and time is only borrowed
And you know wherever you are
Is Where It's At

Everyday confusion
Turns dreams into illusion
And the rats get caught in the race
But you can leave the cage and take this minute
To sit and be right in it
'Cause today is a beautiful day

So don't look back, forget about tomorrow
Right now is where it's at, And don't you know that you are
Right on track, and time is only borrowed
And you know wherever you are
Is Where It's At

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

I'm on my way but I don't know what to do or where too go
I'm so nervous I feel sick - I hope I don't come off like a jerk
I went all out, I washed my hair
I searched and found some clean underwear
She's so hot I can't resist
I don't know what I'll do if she gives me that first kiss

CHORUS:
Spontaneous spontaneous combustion combustion
Spontaneous spontaneous combustion combustion
I'm bustin' right out of my skin
I can't wait to tell everybody everything
I can't wait to tell everybody everything

Now I'm at the part that I really hate
I know her dad knows what I anticipate
I'm sweating from the moment I shake his hand
He can read my mind, I know he understands
She said they liked me, but I felt absurd
I found the nerve but I lost the words
I'm just a geek a few hours from bliss
I'm gonna explode when she gives me that first kiss

CHORUS

It's so close I can taste it - I just hope that I don't waste it
She's so close - hope I don't show it - Excited I don't wanna blow it

CHORUS

LIVING LARGE

Will you shut up – turn down the volume
I can't hear my own TV
Hate your life – well I love mine
I trash-compact my misery
You're so pathetic – you regret it – everything you do or say
I got my M.O. – why go slow – see you later, get out of my way

CHORUS:
I'm doing just what I want, I'm living large, living large
I'm doing anything I want
'Cos I'm living large, living large – yeah I'm living large, living large

I slept real late in my apartment
And my car's running good today
I bought some gas for the 3-day weekend
Party on a vacant freeway
I got two girlfriends, in the end – hey, it's good to be king
We'll go to Vegas – they'll hate us – but who cares what they all think

CHORUS

Billboards they say live life this way
Do this do that buy this screw that
I know better – perfect weather
No raining pouring no old man is snoring
I'm cramming everything into my life so it ain't boring

CHORUS

HOLE IN THE SKY

I never thought that you would be the one to say
That more and more the world is getting in your way
It never mattered how we used to waste our time
We didn't measure everyday in black or white
I close my eyes but I don't know what to do
'Cause every time that you hurt... I hurt too
Maybe I should give up before I lose

The sun will never learn to cry
And I don't wanna know the reason why
'Cause every time I try it's just like
Fixing a hole in the sky

I never thought I'd see our lives turned upside down
You gave up dreaming to keep both feet on the ground
Now it seems I hardly know you anymore
Will it ever be the way it was before
I close my eyes but I don't know what to do
'Cause everything that you feel... I feel too
Maybe I should give up before I lose

The sun will never learn to cry
And I don't wanna know the reason why
'Cause every time I try it's just like
Fixing a hole in the sky, Fixing a hole in the sky

You never thought that I would be the one to say
That life is always more than getting your own way
You tell me things could be just like they were before
But you hardly even know me anymore
I close my eyes but I don't know what to do
'Cause every time that you hurt... I hurt too
Maybe I should give up before I lose
The sun will never learn to cry
And I don't wanna know the reason why
'Cause every time I try it's just like
Fixing a hole in the sky

The sun will never learn to cry
And I don't wanna know the reason why
'Cause every time I try it's just like
Fixing a hole in the sky, Fixing a hole in the sky
Fixing a hole

HEY NOW

I don't know why it has to be
That the sky is blue and the grass is green
And I don't know why it's really true
That one plus one always equals two
I don't know so I'll have to guess
There may be times when a no means yes
And maybe, just maybe
It doesn really matter

Hey Now, look around
Does anybody know what's goin' down
And Hey Now, it's okay
The world keeps spinning anyway
Hey Now, why ask why
Low is low and high is high
And Hey Now just let go
It's alright if you really don't know
And I really don't know

Some may say that I can't see
The perfect world surrounding me
And others say the end is near
They really do believe everything they hear
Some may say they know what's best
But they're no different from the rest
And maybe, just maybe
It doesn really matter

Hey Now, look around
Does anybody know what's goin' down
And Hey Now, it's okay
The world keeps spinning anyway
Hey Now, why ask why
Low is low and high is high
And Hey Now just let go
It's alright if you really don't know
And I really don't know

GETTING HOTTER EVERY SUMMER

Hey mother nature would you please chill out
Because this heat is gonna drive me insane
You got me wearin' twenty coats of SPF number 40 block
Even my shadow's runnin' for the shade
You know I can't forget how much I'm starting to regret
That I didn't buy a better ride
It's not as cool as I thought 'cos it keeps running hot
The radiator just flat-lined
On the way to the mall where they got AC
I could see a movie and get some ice cream
I'm stuck on the road, comatose
This is starting to feel like a bad dream

CHORUS:
The mercury's high – I feel so fried
Gotta try and find a place to hide
Man – It's getting' hotter every summer
The wind don't blow, there ain't no flow
Where can you go to just lay low
Man – It's getting' – it's getting' hotter every summer

Hey Mr. Ozone, we've been burnin' a hole
And now you're getting' your revenge in spades
Because the sun is beatin' down on me, a sweatin' fool without a pool
I swear that you could scramble an egg on my brain
Now I'm just like burnt toast, and overdose of those evil cathode rays
Am I hallucinatin' – the weatherman's sayin' he's moving to Norway
If I'm trapped in an icebox, what a paradox, at least I would be free
In this heat, even if I freeze, it's a better place than I be

CHORUS

I got five more box fans, cases of soda cans
Twenty-pound bags of ice
Four pairs of swin shorts – XL – and, of course
Comfort has a price
I bought a gazebo – just a placebo – the heat just flows right through
I tried everything, everywhere, anytime, anyhow
It all turns out to be no use

CHORUS

This ain't what it seems but then again what is?
I can't even see through you no more
The situation's changed now it don't feel the same
Maybe it is time for me to go

But please I beg you don't ask me to explain why

You shouldn't take it too hard
You shouldn't take it too hard
It's me I'm only falling apart
You shouldn't take it too hard
It's not your fault

I've got my hands tied they have been for a while
But I'm still holding on to what I know
It's only now I see that you're no good for me
And I'm going to turn my back on you

But please I beg you don't ask me to explain why

You shouldn't take it too hard
You shouldn't take it too hard
It's me I'm only falling apart
You shouldn't take it too hard
It's not your fault

This ain't what it seems but then again what is?
I can't even see through you no more
I've got my hands tied they have been for a while
But I'm still holding on to what I know

But please I beg you don't ask me to explain why

You shouldn't take it too hard
You shouldn't take it too hard
It's me I'm only falling apart

You shouldn't take it too hard
You shouldn't take it too hard
You shouldn't take it too hard
You shouldn't take it too hard

Everytime that I watch you leave
I start to crumble, forget the need
Don't say this could never mean a thing to you
Through this window you're all alone

You won't see me letting go
How I adore her
No time to think about
What could be lost
We all need what we want
It's everything
Everything

Everytime that I turn to see I forget
Nothing good comes from looking back and longing
I'm done with regret
Let me watch you smoke your cigarette
Then let me swim in your skin one more time

You won't see me letting go
How I adore her
No time to think about
What could be lost
We all need what we want
It's everything
Everything

You're everything to me...

You won't see me letting go
How I adore her
No time to think about
What could be lost
We all need what we want
It's everything
Everything

Lowest light, highest of speed
How you spend your time
Don't like my speed
Simply lost your mind

Moving faster still
And now we're

Behind the wheel
She's loving him madly
And at her heels
He's driving her gladly
Away from here now

Let me drown faith into you
Wouldn't you
Let me pound faith into you
Shouldn't you

Moving faster still
And now we're

Behind the wheel
She's loving him madly
And at her heels
He's driving her gladly
Away from here now

Away from here
Away from here

Turn it up, turn it off now
Turn it up, turn it off somehow
Fill the whole, that let's in the light

Turn it up, turn it off now
Turn it up, turn it off somehow
You can go
Searching for your shattered mind

Your black and dirty heart
Can belong to no one else

I'm the only one who knows
Turn it up, turn it on now
The only one not racing to diffuse
A ticking bomb now

Turn it up, turn it off now
Turn it up, turn it off somehow
Kill the sound, kill the light

Turn it up, turn it off now
Let's erase lovely face now
I filled the hole
You'll never pass through here again

Your black and dirty heart can belong to no one else
Your black and dirty heart can belong to no one else

I'm the only one who knows
Turn it up, turn it on now
The only one not racing to diffuse
A ticking bomb now

See the breeze has died
Into the melting sky

Dripping up, dripping up, dripping up, dripping up

THROW THE WORDS AWAY

I say
I wish you would spend just a little more time
You say
I've been working all day babe, I'm a little bit tired
I say
I'm just trying to find out how was your day
You say
Can you give me a minute, can't it wait
I say
I just get the feeling something isn't right
You say
Please not tonight

Why can't we just throw the words away
And listen to what our hearts have to say
Why wouldn't it just be okay
To sit quiet and listen
To our two hearts beating
Cause words have no meaning

I say
You never seem to hear me and I don't know why
You say
But you've said the same things a million times
I say
If you'd only think about it from my point of view
You say
But all I ever do is think about you
I say
It's falling apart...are you just gonna let it?
You say
Oh just forget it

Chorus

No lies, no reasons
Excuses, no explanations
No blame, no sorries
No alibis
No whys, denials
No defenses, no complications
Words have no meaning
So why even try

Chorus

When did we forget what it used to mean
How'd we forget how it used to be
What ever happened to you and me

A Vice or Two

I'll strive for the framework of my old life
I have to find a new one, but at least I'm trying am I
So close I found all of the pieces to my scattered puzzle
But I'm just too lazy to put them all in place
Of what
Was there
It's just a vice or two I swear
I'll leave behind

I know I shouldn't come here
Cause it's clear you know what I'm coming here for
And I've said I don't really need this
So I won't, but I know it's gonna keep me awake

We've paid for the promises we've both made
But I'm still expending my last emotions and notions and it's been
So long I don't remember what you look like
But I'm sure it's just right
So I'll just throw down another one and think
Of what
It's for
Its just a vice or two I swore
I'd leave behind

I don't want you to come here
It's not clear, I don't know what you're coming here for
If you're anything like you used to be
Then be sure, you know it's gonna keep me awake
For days, and days

I know I shouldn't come here
It's clear you know what I'm coming here for
And I've said, I don't really need this
So I won't, but I know it's gonna keep me awake
I don't want you to come here
It's not clear, I don't know what you're coming here for
If you're anything like you used to be
Then be sure, you know it's gonna keep me awake
For days, and days
It's just a vice or two I swear I'll leave behind

YADA YADA YADA

You call me – I call you
I see you every day at school
We hang out like best friends
I wonder will this ever end
You tell me everything
I listen to you rambling
I'm hoping that the end is near
'Cos while you're whining all I hear is

CHORUS:
Yada yada yada – yada yada yada – yada yada yada
Blah blah blah

Friday night my parents say
Boy you can't go out that way
I don't know what they see
They think something's wrong with me
Get a job, comb your hair
I can see your underwear
My dad keeps screaming in my ear
My mom yells too but all I hear is

CHORUS

I'm so bored, I watch the tube
All that's on is stupid news
The shuttle's up – the stocks are down
There's someone famous in my town
A bank got robbed – the President lied
Somebody I don't know just died
I know these things should be profound
But I don't care 'cos it all sounds like

CHORUS

TRUTH IS

Truth is I'm sorry
Truth is we tried
Though we said "that's the way it goes"
Truth is I cried

We're not that different
Just weren't meant to be
Like two birds of a feather
Who can't ever find their tree

We know it's over
Never had a chance
Left to wonder what could have been
In another circumstance
But the truth is..

That I still love you
Why do these feelings have to remain
When I can't hold you
There's just empty space in my heart
I'm falling apart
And losing you drives me insane

But the truth is.. you're gone

Truth is I'll miss you
But time will set me free
One foot in front of the other
I'm hoping they'll take me
To where the truth is
Where the truth is
Where the truth is

Truth is I'm sorry
