How Could You?

Sometimes I wish
I could hold on to these moments
And maybe some day
Hear the words you said to me
But you couldn't bring yourself
To say how you felt inside
Instead you watched another day go by
How could you sleep?
How could I see?
How could it be?
You know me
You know me
Sometimes you wish
You could hold on to those moments
And maybe some day
Hear the words they said to you
But they couldn't bring themselves
To say how they felt inside
Instead they watched another day go by
How could they sleep?
How could you see?
How could it be?
They know you
How could you sleep?
How could I see?
How could it be?
You know me
You know me, yeah
Sometimes I wish
I could hold on to those moments
And maybe some day
Hear the words you said
In my memories
Why can't I bring myself
To say how I feel inside?
How can I sit and watch the days go by?
How could you sleep?
How could I see?
How could it be?
You know me
You know me

There You Go
01:44
|
|||
|
Socially dependent
Yet socially withdrawn
Your present learned behavior
Really makes me yawn
Yet there you go on your own
With your vain life undone
Guess it's lucky for me
That I'm in another place
Free from the shackles
And fingers in my face
Yet there you go on your own
With your vain life undone
I don't need you
Going to everyone saying things

Follow Suit
02:42
|
|||
|
I can't believe you know me so well
It's up to me to look down on myself
I can't come clean with you in my cell
'Cause it's up to me to look down on myself
Who wants to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
Who wants to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
Tomorrow you will frown on success
And I'll be the one to clean up the mess
I can't come clean with this on my chest
'Cause it's up to me to come down and confess
Who wants to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
Who wants to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
I never said or did anything wrong
Will you forgive me if my nose is too long?
I never said or did anything wrong
Will you forgive me if my nose is too long?
Who wants to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
Do you want to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
Do you want to follow
Who wants to follow suit?
I refuse to follow
Who wants to follow suit
Who wants to follow suit?
I don't want to follow suit

Regular Life
02:49
|

|
He came to see me today
Fortunately I escaped, oh
I was ecstatic for sure
When I found I had the key to the door, yeah
When you and I don't see eye to eye
I find I slip into the regular life
I know that I should try to see through your eyes
But I find I slip into the regular life
A circle of failure set in
Developed a complex within, yeah
Of what I conceived to be true
And what I no longer pursued, yeah
When you and I don't see eye to eye
I find I slip into the regular life
I know that I should try to see through your eyes
But I find I slip into the regular life
Peace of the morning returns
But it's not what I deserve, yeah
'Cause when you and I don't see eye to eye
I find I slip into the regular life
I know that I should try to see through your eyes
But I find I slip into the regular life
When you and I don't see eye to eye
I find I slipped into the regular life
I know that I should try to see through your eyes
But I realize I have a regular life

Slow Down
04:07
|
|||
|
I wish there was a way
That I could lay in bed all day
And watch through the window
As the sun fades
I wish there was a place
Where I'm not labeled as lazy
You'd hear my voice
And not think I'm crazy
Just slow down
Slow down
We're moving too fast
Slow down
Slow down
Don't let your daydreams pass away
I heard a strange man claim
That in a second I could be changed
But I failed to listen when he said
Look at what you've made
It amounts to nothing minus everything
And there's nothing you can do
To make that change
Unless you slow down
Slow down
You're moving too fast
Slow down
Slow down
Don't let your daydream pass away
Don't let it pass away

Turn Away
03:50
|
|||
|
Exit man
Someone from your own sand
A robbery of thieves is what he believes
To be the way he should go
But who can tell their own ideas
From somebody else's?
And who needs another beside him
When one day they'll be forced to deny him?
Just turn away
Don't be ashamed
Turn away and face the moonlight
Let it shine upon your mind
Turn away
You'll never be the same
Run away with no hindsight
See if you can make it on your own
Pressurized
The feelings that you keep inside
A battle that begins to beat you when
They keep moving in
No they won't be there to hear you
Every middle of the night
But they'll be glad to greet you tomorrow
Again to ignore your sorrow
Just turn away
Don't be contained
Look away and face the moonlight
Let it shine upon your mind
Turn away
You'll never be the same
Run away with no hindsight
See if you can find love on your own
You know they won't be there to hear you
Every middle of the night
But they'll be glad to greet you tomorrow
When they need something to borrow
Just turn away
Don't be ashamed
Look away and face the moonlight
Let it shine upon your mind
Turn away
You'll never be the same
Just run away with no hindsight
See if you can make it on your own
See if you can make it on your own

Already Let You Go
03:18
|
|||
|
He closed his eyes and went to sleep
When he came one day
A loving man whose family
Would never be the same
I don't have time to be bothered with this
It seems I've already let you go
I don't have time to be bothered with this
It seems I've already let you go
We close our eyes and go to sleep
When we come home afraid
Often times when we wake
Many tears remain
I don't have time to be bothered with this
It seems I've already let you go
I don't have time to be bothered with this
It seems I've already let you go
He closed his eyes and went to sleep
The man went home today
A loving friend went by to see
If he was doing okay
I don't have time to be bothered with this
It seems I've already let you go
I don't have time to be bothered with this
It seems I've already let you go

Out of Date
01:15
|

|
Hey guess what?
It's time to guess who's here
Stay this time
This could be your only chance this year
If you don't want to be late
You don't need to hesitate
Before you know it
You're out of date
Hey guess what?
It's time for you to leave
But stay this time
This could be your only chance to see
Well if you don't want to be late
You don't need to hesitate
Before you know it
You're out of date

If I Came Below
03:41
|
|||
|
There are pictures of a man
On a table outside
Laid out for observation
I do the best I can
To find a place to hide
In spite of obligation
Would you face me if I came below?
Would you chase me if I came below?
They watch the burning box
With their eyes aglow like fire
Dressed up in camouflage
They've got Mary quite confined
In a suitcase bedroom
Zipped up like dee-doo-dah
Would you face me if I came below?
Would you chase me if I came below?
Below, below, below
If I came below?
