I don't always learn when I should, No I don't always learn. And sometimes I don't know how to have fun anymore, Some times I just lay here and burn. But now the tide is rolling in, Now the tide is rolling in. And I don't know what to say to her, Don't know how to speak. But if she lay in my bed, I could sleep for the week. From her hair she grows roses, Complete with their thorns. If you get to close you might bleed, If you get to close you might bleed. And I will smile And all the blood will be worth the while. So if you come you can take what you need. If you come you can take what you need.

Well I'm howling into the wind tonight, I'm hoping someone hears. So you can come on round to my place man, If your anywhere that's near. But if the wood and the trees, Fall out of your reach. And you have to work instead. Well that's alright, Hope you remember working when your...DEAD You say that you're fine It just gets you down from time to time. So just remember that it's just a Step to the left, And a sway to the right, Put your hands on his hips, Clench your fists up real tight. And the devil on your shoulder will keep asking how, Do you feel better now? Do you Feel better now? Oh little boat, Keep me afloat. Keep me sailing, Where I want to go Oh my dear, Keep me here. Drunk and alive, Blurry but clear.

If I like you, You like me, Why can't we let it be? I keep on trying to tell my mind, But my troubles keep troubling me. The truth is, That there's just too much choice within this world. They got sites for this, Plans for that. Endless information and pictures of cats. But there's no auditorial, To keep me feeling sane. No key that has the power, To settle down my brain. [chorus] And I don't know what to say to her, And I don't know how to speak. But if you keep laying in my head, Then I'll keep losing sleep. If you could take the words out of, My mouth put them into yours. Then to myself id try to say, That it will be okay. It'll be okay!] Well the times they aren't a changing, The chords all stay the same. The people over complicate, The most simple situations. And the rich keep getting richer, While the poor keep keeping faith That one day they could rely on, The kindness of the human race. But there's no auditorial, To keep us feeling sane. No key that has the power, To settle down our brains And if we're just born to fail, Then Im not staying on the rail. And if we're just gunna die, Then what's the point to even try..] [chorus] When I don't know what to say to her, And I don't know how to speak. But if you keep laying in my head, Then I'll keep losing sleep. If you could take the words out of, My mouth put them into yours. Then to myself I'd try to say, That it will be okay. It'll be okay]

Headphones 03:05
Theres about a headphones distance, Between your mouth and my ear. I try to be sociable. But I like to feel like I'm the only one that's here. And I ain't lonely, I'm just living in my mind. Thinking of the thoughts that I have, Left behind And it's okay, To feel this way. From time to time I had a dream last night, Where you with me all the time. If I said that I didn't enjoy it, Well I'm a afraid I would be lying And it wasn't always awkward, Sometimes it was just about you being there, And to be honest, It made me wish that you would care. But I don't care at all, For the idea of movie stalls. When I don't know what I wanna watch, Or where I wanna watch it. Chorus [And she says, come with me we can, See what'll happen. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I just want something good, For once in my life. Just give me a moment, Give me a moment.....with you. With you With you With you] Do you dream of me? Like I dream of you? If I said I had one, You'd say you needed two. What about America? Thought that you were gunna move. Thought you hated it here? But you just get high in your boyfriends room, And I heard he hits you, But that's probably not true The people here are so mean, They just don't know what to be up to. Chorus [And she says, come with me we can, See what'll happen. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh I just want something good, For once in my life. Just give me a moment, Give me a moment.....with you. With you With you With you]

The Storm 03:47
The summer is coming on fast, Soon your eyes will turn to gold. and we won't spend one more hour in the cold. Where the trees freeze, But our hearts stay warm. Paving the way, To the start of the storm. One day you'll mellow out kid, And all you'll have is time. Even if it's not okay, It'll be okay, keep that in mind. All we need is all we we have, Like these comforting vibrations. Where compounded memories, Ain't got no room. Changing like the air, At the bottom of my lungs. But it's the function, That stays the same. [chorus] But I'm getting alright, With I'm getting it all wrong. and the devils been here, All along. I'll keep singing with my heroes, If you keep telling me I'm fine. And I'll try to keep the good times, Sitting on my mind.] Hazy eyed and smiling, Warm like the waving sea. Waiting for a feeling, To come on and cover me. Keep me compassionate, Keep me kind. Well I may not be a bad man, But I stray from time to time. [chorus] But I'm getting alright, With I'm getting it all wrong. and the devils been here, All along. I'll keep singing with my heroes, If you keep telling me I'm fine. And I'll try to keep the good times, Sitting on my mind. I'll keep singing with my heroes, If you keep telling me I'm fine. And I'll try to keep the good times, Sitting on my mind.]

Take me away, From the water I don't wanna drown again, But every time I seem to fall in. Remember to breathe, It ain't what it seems. Just a memory. A ripple of the past. I should of known I would never last. Grow, grow, grow up like a tree. At least you'll get to leave [chorus] How much easier would it be, If I was calm and collected? If I was calm and collected. You won't take, Every part of me you took. Every part of me that I used to love, and I used to know, But I always was uncomfortable.] My vision is blurred, (Its blurred, its blurred) Why can I not correct it? My thoughts are absurd, (Absurd, Absurd) Why do we fear rejection? It's hard to take the hand of a wolf. When it's led you astray before. My red and white blood cells, Are in an eternal war. [chorus] How much easier would it be, If I was calm and collected? If I was calm and collected. You won't take, Every part of me you took. Every part of me that I used to love, and I used to know, But I always was uncomfortable.]
