Hello, hello, hello I think I must have lost you there Don't know, don't know, you just disappeared We're talking in circles, we beat it to death we're not getting anywhere I can't always tell you what you need to hear No I can't always tell you what you need to hear I don't need to know Hello, hello, hello I think we need to draw the line Screaming, shouting what's on your mind The more that you tell me the less I remember Does anybody care And you can't always tell me what I need to hear No you can't always tell me what I need to hear I don't need to know

Yeah, staring in the face of a killer Standing in front of the mirror You know what I mean Yeah, so much for my education Praying that the heart of the nation Will show me something I haven't seen Yeah, can you give me some more? Can you give me some more? What are you saving it for? Yeah, said you're on a revolution But sex is only half a solution When you're thinking of someone else So come on Back to the beginning One more time with feeling We owe it to ourselves Yeah, can you give me some more? Can you give me some more? What are you saving it for? Life is only good if you live it So you don't have to forgive me 'Cause I forgive myself

Such a perfect afternoon I still taste it, not ready to come down Curtains closed from neighbors' eyes Don't you know it, we're all part of the show now Some things are better left unsaid Keep your mouth shut It's not what it seems It's not what it seems It's not what it seems It's not what it seems The strangest feeling fills the room Quick hide it before somebody comes down Don't worry, they can't see us We're almost honest with the lights out Some things are better left unsaid Keep your mouth shut It's not what it seems It's not what it seems It's not what it seems It's not what it seems Your secret's safe with me It's not what it seems

Eyes up to the front Steady as she goes Will there always be a part of you I'll never know Way to many years Staring at the door Surrounded by the ghost of what I've done before Open up Look before you jump Think before you speak You only wanted what was best for me I never said it And you never told me It's too late for apologies Open up Who says we're stuck here Everyone can change Say what you want Open up Steps are still loose Where we used to sit Yeah I never got around to fixing it Lifting up the mat I can't find the key These days things aren't where they used to be Stories never match never seem to agree We all remember things a little differently But standing outside isn't working for me anymore Open up Who says we're stuck here Everyone can change Say what you want Tell me what you want Open up Eyes up to the front Steady as she goes Will there always be a part of me you'll never know

Tonight there's a weight that's on my shoulders And it's hard for me to sleep Is there anybody listening to me Tonight there's a struggle in the distance And I try to empathize But it's four in the morning I close my eyes Pray for us Pray for us Is anyone there Would anyone pray for us Tonight if there's something watching over From a light in outer space Please don't look at us behaving this way I know we say we'll make it better And we won't hurt the ones we love Must be so hard to believe us with all that we've done Oh what have we done Pray for us Pray for us Is anyone there Would anyone pray for us I don't even know who's wrong or right And I don't want to choose a side It's late, so I'm gonna pray for us Pray for us Is anyone there Would anyone pray for us

Old houses used to hold our dreams And no one knew a life beyond those streets Will we ever feel that young again We believed in every song we heard And learned our lessons just by getting hurt Will we ever feel that young again Will we ever feel that way again Games lost throwing hope into the stars But we found each other in the backseats of borrowed cars And looking back I knew we'd never win But darling I believed it when we kissed Will we ever feel that young again Will we ever feel that way again Will we ever Will we ever If I could see your face after the great mistakes I would have known that this is what I always wanted If I could have seen this place before all the lonely days I would have known that you were what I always wanted Will we ever feel that young again Will we ever feel that way again Will we ever Will we ever

O love Whatcha doin to me O love I don't want you to leave Even when I'm sober I can't get you off my mind This creeping crawling feeling keeps on scratching me inside And the drums don't lie when you fall behind But maybe this is love I just want to start a fire Tear the pavement off the street Anything to make you notice me If this was all that we were given Then this is all we need O love Whatcha doin to me O love I don't want you to leave I'll let you sail me up the river Leave me hanging out to dry This familiar restless feeling keeps me sitting up at night And the drums don't lie when you fall behind Still I can't get enough I just want to start a fire Tear the pavement off the street Anything to make you notice me If this was all that we were given Then this is all we need I just want to start a fire Tear the pavement off the street Anything to make you notice me If there's gonna be a war I'll take my last shot at the dream How'd you know if you have ever been free If this is love then keep it safe Just leave the flowers on my grave If only just until the winter leaves If this was all that we were given Then this is all we need O love Whatcha doin to me

Heart-stopping daily grind The caffeine rules your veins No time to look around No time to search for change Stop faking, stop faking I know you're not asleep Wake up It's a glorious day Wake up Do you have something to say Wake up It's a glorious day So why would you stay in bed Young lovers fantasize of diamond-studded hands As faithful lonely patriots protect their god and land Stop faking, stop faking I know you're not asleep Wake up It's a glorious day Wake up Do you have something to say Wake up It's a glorious day So why would you stay in bed It rises up in the morning light There's nowhere left to hide That feeling you used to know so well You still recognize Wake up It's a glorious day Wake up Do you have something to say Wake up It's a glorious day So why would you stay in bed
