Say all you wanna say, but I...
I must be more than sure
Did you say you love "no-one"?
Here, all I am is yours
In time, when all is said and done...
Did you hear? I'M a no-one...

Lies that are told to me
Are lies that are told FOR me
Am I...am I better off alone?
There are lips that are meant to crush
There are lips that are telling too much
Am I...am I better off alone?

Say all you wanna say, but I...
I must be more than sure
Did you say that you love "no-one"?
Here, all I am is yours
In time, when all is said and done...
Did you hear? I'M a no-one...

Will you sing me a tune
Where the words are sung to save my life?
I shine like a light in your eye
Oh my love, I'm only what you want...
I'm a no one.

Say all you wanna say, but I...
I must be MORE than sure
Did you say that you love "no-one"?
Well I try all the time
Just to prove
(just to YOU)
When it's all said and done:
I'm YOUR "no-one"!

Will you sing me a tune
Where the words are sung to save my life?
I shine like a light in your eye
Oh my love, just tell me what you want
I'm never what you want...

Well, I'm sorry that you think it's boring
How my stories always go astray
I'll just drive us,
I'll drive us away.

We want it all and we want it now.
A change is all we need to be good.
We'll take it slowly
So we can sleep at night...

Well, I'm sorry that you think it's boring
How my stories always go astray.
I'll just drive us,
I'll drive us away.

We'll take the short road
I've been waiting so long (it's true).
Nothing gets through to you.
I'll sing it softly:
"Let me get what I want..."

But I'm sorry that you think I'm boring.
Or how my stories always seem the same.
I'll just drive us,
I'll drive us away.
I'll drive us,
I'll drive us away.
away.
away...

Where'd You Learn to Talk?
First, I thought that this was love
No...I gave mine all to you and then you changed.
Then, I heard you needed more
So...I gave you all my money, then you changed.
But I, I got a lot of friends
No...you took them all away when you ran.
So, just like my mother told me:
"Son...you shouldn't give a damn."

Where'd ya learn to talk so much?
Where'd ya learn to talk so much?
Oh the kind of words
I had never heard
They only bring me to you...

(Repeat)

Let Me Explain
We are young and we are old.
We never do what we're told.
We're the type that tells you we're bored.
We got dreams and we got aches,
We got time to concentrate
On the type that walks out our door.

The only things that gets us down
is living in your shitty town.
It's a place where dreams go to waste.
When we are so gone,
That's what I yell is fun.
Man, it's getting so late.

We go on
We go on
We're living all our lives for some shame.
We go on
We go on
You had you say now let me explain.

We've been known to linger long
on some days that we see lost.
Thinking bout the people that changed.
When we're alone we talk in turn,
missing you and what you were.
Afraid to say that we've stayed the same...

We go on
We go on
We're living all our lives for some shame
We go on
We go on
You had your say now let me explain.

We always seemed so close,
but we never were.
And everything I want,
I'll never get.

We're waiting in your local bar,
we'll lie to all bout what we are.
All we want is to hold a thrill.
We're living short on smoky nights:
Smelly skin, fading fights.
All the while taking our pills...

We go on
We go on
We're living all our lives for some shame.
We go on
We go on
You had your say now let me explain.

We always seemed so close,
but we never were.
And everything I want,
I'll never get.
And the way we talk,
is it up to you?
When you are
what you are
You're a star.

I don't think so
I gave up on me long ago.
All I want's a chance to be free
"We all love you still"
Nah, who really needs that?
I'd rather just Let It Be.

We go on
We go on
We're living all our lives for some change
We go on
We go on
You had your say now let me explain.

What I Got
I believe that what I want
Isn't close to what I got
Not to say I'm feeling screwed
Just to say I know what's true
And I hate it when they say
Things were better yesterday
Another kick for Me & You and our due

Don't you know:
It's all being done for you, my love
Of course, of course
It's for you, my love
Don't make me seem strange
No one gets next to you

I face the day with clumsy claims
How I want this all to change
"How I wish I was" or
"Where I wish I was"
Another night where I got loud
Another drunk talking to his crowd
Will it always be this way?

Don't you know:
It's all being done for you, my love
Of course, of course
It's for you, my love
Don't make me seem strange
No one gets next to you

Can't you see I know my life?
Can't you see I want to try?
"I know what I want
isn't close to what I got"
We can claim to love our signs
We can lie all the time
We can face our shoes and sing bad tunes

Don't you know:
It's all being done for you my love
Of course, of course
It's for you, my love
Don't make me seem strange
No one gets next to you...

Me & You
Yeah, it's me and you
We need a chance to get a better life
The kind that makes us not feel so strong
We can take our time
We can wait till we have our sides
The one that wins and lets us feel bold

Man, I'm lazy
Boy, that's crazy
Son, don't you get me wrong
I got a mind like a one-inch track
I say:
Me, I'm tired
Oh so tired
Son, don't you get me wrong
I got a mind like a one inch track
Go home

If it takes awhile
I wanna show you what's on my mind
The kind of things you might think are wrong
I can't decide
what's my great delight
No sleep, no work or maybe no phones

Man, I'm lazy
Boy, that's crazy
Son, don't you get me wrong
I got a mind like a one-inch track
I say:
Me, I'm tired
Oh so tired
Son, don't you get me wrong
I got a mind like a one-inch track
Go home

All we ask for is all we're given
We'll be forgiven for the deeds we've done
We'll walk together
(but wear no leather)
This would be heaven
Why does it take so long?

It's me and you
we need a chance for a better life
the kind that makes us not feel so strong
Oh, it's me and you
all we really want's a better life
The kind that can't tell right from wrong

Man, I'm lazy
Boy, that's crazy
Son, don't you get me wrong
I got a mind like a one-inch track
I say:
Me, I'm tired
Oh so tired
Son, don't you get me wrong
I got a mind like a one inch track
Go home
Go home

This Head is Haunted
All we are
Floats around my head
and comes to me in Words
that say,
didn't want you Anyway

When I feel through
I take a little time
to think
of where I've been
with Who
with You

This head is haunted
I know I'm wrong
but I am in too deep
and I can't even sleep

Everyone
steps into my room
and waves Hello
and leaves.
That's me
that's my day

It's cuz they know
my thoughts were given out
to You
so long ago
I'm low
so it goes

This head is haunted
I know I'm bad
but I am in too deep
and I can't even sleep
This head is haunted
I know, I'm sorry
but I am in too deep
I can't even sleep...

All we are
floats into my Bed
and crawls around in words
that claim:
Have your way

I'll start my life on Monday
Now is the time
to do
What we Want
How we Want
Where we Want

This head is haunted
I know I'm wrong
but I am in too deep
This head is haunted
I know, I'm sorry
but I am in too deep
and all I want is sleep
all I need is
Sleep
