baby i'm so lonely with you workin' on the moon
i just pray and hope you come back soon
i'm not strong enough, i'm not tough enough not to have you in my life
i'm a weak papier mache, you're a carvin' knife
baby i'm so worried 'bout the other astronauts
but they could never give you what you want
i'm not strong enough, i'm not tough enough to join you in outer space
and i know that it's cliche but i just wanna see your face
darlin' you're so spiteful, you only show me half your face
and every single day you turn away
and i'm shameful and i'm sorry and i hurt for all it's worth
won't you please come back to me? please come back to earth

expectations

i had no expectations so you shouldn't let me down
at least 100 days have passed since the day that you been around
you traded your guitar in for a pair of blue jeans
you meant it when you said you cared but i don't know what you mean
and as i fade into the background of your life
do you still believe in me?
i had no expectations so i should just let it go
leave you to devices and you to radio
maybe one day i'll communicate but i don't think i'll get that far
you meant it when you said you cared but i don't know who you are
and as i fade into the background of your life
do you still believe in me?
i had no expectations and by now i should know
it isn't who you share it with it's only where you go
i used to think you saw me through every word that i spoke
when did everything i say become a dull repeated joke?
and as i fade into the background of your life
do you still believe in me?

you're the man who broke my heart
i was seduced when we were introduced
but she never goes for guys like me
how could i compete when you swept her off her feet?
oh you're the man who broke my heart
you never danced when we had the chance
and a girl can only wait so long
he took my hand and i wore his wedding band
but you're the man who broke my heart
and i don't care if you see me stare
cos you don't know what you took from me
on the other hand i don't expect you to understand
cos you're the man who broke my heart
time moves fast and the years go past
and i don't ask and time don't tell
my hand was his and he broke his promises
but you, you're the man who broke my heart
i hesitate just to call it fate
or say it's all just because of you
but it's so true and i knew from the start
you'd be the man who'd break my heart

last year i fear was the last time that i would hold you
where you appear in the past i hold fast onto
i'm well aware that i can't take care of myself
will you forgive how i've lived through hell
livin' on threads at the end of my rope
driven out west and i been down the coast
oh baby i wanna come back
don't walk away like the last time we spoke
at least hear me out cos i love you the most
oh baby i wanna come back to you
once in a trance we would dance with the sun goin down
now i am facin' a place where it never comes out
one last goodbye and i'm gonna cry in my hands
i left you with wine and now i'm left with whiskey and wind
livin' on threads at the end of my rope
driven out west and i been down the coast
oh baby i wanna come back
don't walk away like the last time we spoke
at least hear me out cos i love you the most
oh baby i wanna come back to you

that

before you even know the symmetry falls apart
she's got a kama sutra heart
i coulda told you that
you followed her cigarette until she turned a left and you went home
how much you wanna bet she doesn't love you yet and never will?
i coulda told you that
things you didn't see, stuff i didn't say that was on my mind
and the way you looked at me like you were in a play and didn't know your lines
you said i have to know i'm gonna leave my job tonight
and now for the farewell, it's like a corporate line- i wish you all the best
and now you're stuck in hell with a thousand things you can't get off your chest
i coulda told you that

jesus christ oblige i wanna hold you again
i'll bend my rules but don't you say goodbye for good
i know that
if i want you i gotta figure some things out
jesus christ oblige i know you no good for me
and you we're fools but just tell me what you wanna do
i know that
if i want you i gotta figure some things out
jesus christ oblige i wanna hold you again
i'll bend my rules but don't you say goodbye for good
i know that
if i want you i gotta figure some things out

lie
03:08
|
|
||
|
you're so confused i just as soon not get involved
keep to myself but i just get lonely as hell
cos i don't wanna lie to myself about you
i don't wanna lie to your face 'til you feel
good enough to love me good enough to love me
kept in a clandestine soul and gnawed to the bone
we'll pal around and i'll just pretend that there's nothing there
there's nothing to see, there's nothing to see here
and i don't wanna lie to myself anymore
i can't afford to lie to myself i'm that poor
i don't wanna lie to myself about you
i don't wanna lie to my face
it's systematic it's systematic

you made it pretty clear that you'd never fall in love again
you're makin' love to old movies and it's 3am
yesterday night there was a thunder and it gave you a start
you make while the rain is falling and you fall apart
you have another drink shut your eyes and you count to ten
baby i don't wanna be around you when you get like this
if you stay away from me baby it might help
cos i don't wanna feel the fallout from you comin' down
you wake up and you paint your hands red
and we'll both feel just as sorry if i share your bed
you made it pretty clear that you'd never fall in love again
you're makin' love to old movies and it's 3am

sad song
03:41

|

a night on the floor is better than the hospital
breathin's a chore and thinkin' impossible
candles on the shelf, glass is everywhere
i feel like someone else and i don't fit in anywhere
all my dreams are gone, are hiccups
i'm surprised you can see me
the police are goin' home and so's the nitrous oxide
drinkin' by the sink alone
they say the southern sun is perfect for a hangover
but so's the throwin' up i do the night before
headin' back to north virginia, not prepared for a dizzy drive
so i made it through the summer, can't believe i'm alive

all the switches
06:05

there's a great sadness overcome you
all your lyrics are about wine and spirits
what's got you down?
it's my efforts in vain cos nobody came
and the captain don't speak to my heart
it's my efforts in vain cos nobody came
and the pain of a dull shitty life
it's all the stitches in my face
it's all the switches in my head
it's all the colors in my hair
it's all the facts that i've forgotten
i don't have to walk home pissed anymore
we should live together
it's all the colors in my hair
it's all the stitches in my face
it's all the switches in my head
around here we used to call it a problem
but now we accept it as fate
that there's a great sadness overcome you
all your lyrics are about wine and spirits
what's got you down?
it's my efforts in vain cos nobody came
and the captain don't speak to my heart
it's my efforts in vain cos nobody came
and the pain of a dull shitty life
it's the pain of a dull shitty life
it's all the stitches in my face
it's all the switches in my head
it's all the colors in my hair
it's all the facts that i've forgotten
i don't have to walk home pissed anymore
we should live together
