Just paint the picture of a perfect place They got it better than what anyone's told ya They'll be the king of hearts And you're the queen of spades Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers I know we got it good, but they got it made And the grass is getting greener each day I know things are looking up But soon they'll take us down Before anybody's on our way
They got all the right friends in all the right places So yeah, we're going down They got all the right moves in all the right places I said everybody knows where we're going
Do you think I'm special, do you think I'm nice? Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces? Between the noise you hear and the sounds you like Are we just sinking in the ocean of faces It can't be possible that rain could fall Only when it's over our heads The sun is shining every day, but it's far away
It don't matter what you see, I know I could never be Someone that'll look like you It don't matter what you say, I know I could never fake Someone that could sound like you
All the right friends in all the right places They got all the right moves in all the right places I said everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going Yeah, we're going down
See her walking alone In this city of heartache and stone She finds her way down To where she once found all her dreams She doesn't understand why Something she'd given her heart to could die But that's just the way it works out, they say
She's coming back down This carousel ride has stopped spinning around She wants to say she's sorry and stay But it's too late now This carousel ride has shut down
I am coming to the end of this road My cursed hands they are worn and swollen For a long time I've been carrying this load Now I'm resting my arms and these things have been old
Oh now where do I go when there ain't no signs or pointing arrows So many things that I wanted to fulfill That I could not think straight and I could not sit still And I could not sit straight and I could not think still
I am doing the best that I can with what I've been given These things I have taken nothing has ever turned out as I planned But that's how the path in life is what you make
And oh now where do I go when there ain't no signs or pointing arrows So many things that I wanted to fulfill That I could not think straight and I could not sit still And I could not sit straight and I could not think still
Animal born in, oh, to my self I got so many reasons to look outside myself All the old familiar faces And the unfamiliar faces That's what every day is, and I do it again Oh in the morn' I wake with the sun Oh in the evening another day is done And oh I feel restless I never have guessed that I'd Be at this point at the end of this road
Is it true? Well it's true enough I guess Join the chorus of the second best
What's left of you that's real A mutated ideal With limited appeal, I suggest
If hitting is an art Then it's drawn us apart When you erased your heart and beat your chest
Is it you? Well it's you enough I guess You're an angel in a see-through dress Is it true, yes it's true enough I guess
Perhaps it's just as well That I still look like hell At least the world can tell us apart
Is it true? Yes it's true enough I guess Come join the chorus of the unimpressed Is it true, yes it's true enough I guess Sometimes it's better to be second best
At least you know You were taken by a pro I know just how you feel She talked a perfect game Deflecting all the blame You took the jack And changed the flat And got behind the wheel-- Now you`re Driving sideways Taken in by the scenery As you`re propelled along And your companion Will not help you to navigate For fear she may be wrong
And you will say That you`re making headway And put it in overdrive But you`re mistaking speed For getting what you need And never even noticing You never do arrive Cause you`re Driving sideways If you roll down the window you`ll see You`re where you don`t belong And your companion Will not help you to navigate For fear she may be wrong
And you`re powered by The hopeful lie That it`s just around the bend And when this, by default Comes screeching to a halt Let`s hope that you Know what to do To start it up again
Driving sideways Hitting scan on the radio So she can sing along And she`ll sit Thinking you`re going to handle it Until she`s proven wrong Until she`s proven wrong Until you prove her wrong
Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sending all my love Along the wire
They say that the road Ain't no place to start a family Right down the line It's been you and me And lovin' a music man Ain't always what it's supposed to be Oh, girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully
Circus life Under the big top world We all need the clowns To make us smile Through space and time Always another show Wondering where I am Lost without you
And being apart Ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh, girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully
He was her assignment, and it was all downhill from there.
See them walking hand in hand, Across the bridge at midnight, Heads turning as the lights flashing out, It's so bright, There's a camera rolling on her back, And I sense the rhythm humming, In a frenzy, all the way down her spine, Lipstick cherry, all over the lens as she's falling, In miles of sharp blue water, coming in where she lies, The diving man's coming up for air, Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, And she wonders how she ever got here, As she goes under again, Wider baby smiling, you just made a million
You touch these tired eyes of mine And map my face out line by line And somehow growing old feels fine I listen close for I'm not smart You wrap you thoughts in works of art And they're hanging on the walls of my heart
I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such And though I may not look like much I'm yours And though my edges may be rough And never feel I'm quite enough It may not seem like very much But I'm yours
You healed these scars over time Embraced my soul You loved my mind You're the only angel in my life The day news came my best friend died My knees went week and you saw me cry Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes
I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such And though I may not look like much I'm yours And though my edges may be rough And never feel I'm quite enough It may not seem like very much But I'm yours
I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such I know I don't fit in that much But I'm yours
Send another long love letter Just another long love letter Send another long love letter straight to me
The butterflies are out from Charlottesville this morning They were carryin' a letter addressed to me As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out All at once I set them best wishes free
You wrote "how's it been" in some crazy pen on paper The red wine stain on the back had me green with envy And the blues you sang on the b-side of that mixtape made me smile Realized this love of ours might never be
You're upstate with Shakespeare I'm out west with Cassidy As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night
Send another long love letter Just another long love letter Send another long love letter straight to me
You went on and on 'bout some new song and a change of seasons Bout how Buckley's sketches kept you up all night Though I did my best to lay to rest your fears about gettin' old Truth be told it's been so long you just might be right
You're upstate with Shakespeare I'm out west with Cassidy As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night
Send another long love letter Just another long love letter Send another long love letter straight to me
As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out Realized this love of ours was so meant to be
Send another long love letter Just another long love letter Send another long love letter straight to me
All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be
I'm talking to myself in public Dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talking about me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be
Excuse me Do you have the time `Cause I`ve been here waiting since a quarter after nine And it is not true love that I`m hoping I will find No the truth is that I just don`t want to be alone tonight
My how your eyes sparkle Have you heard that one before `Cause if you have don`t you worry I know at least one million more Like the one about your father stealing stars out of the sky And if I could buy you just one more drink I think I`d have the strength to tell these lies
And it must feel so fine To get what you want every time I would if I were more like James Dean
Then I could walk right up to you And say hello how do you do Then you`d come back home with me But I`m just not that cool you see I`m just not that cool you see
So for now I`ll just sit here and wait alone And hope that maybe you`ll say hello As the night just creeps along And I don`t want to know about the clothes you wear I want to see you in the morning with the sunlight through your hair
