dont know what to tell you
dont know what ive seen in your eyes
seen round here
you took my soul to heaven
took my breath over
im not sure that i told you
when im gone away i try
try to see
see the way ive been
and you tell me what ive done
and you tell all ive said to you
im only good
nothing is okay

its late, im alone in my room
ten till two and everyones asleep
if i close my eyes i might dream away
to a place where i can let myself let go inside of me
so now im gonna, im gonna
take you away youre so predictable
think of someone else for a change
youre not that complicated
everyones probably figured it out already
always needing someone to sing to, to reach through to
dont you know theres just so much more in here than me
the hours have past too fast for me
the feelings gone but the memorys still there
the people inside my head are telling me
let myself let go inside of me...
take me away im so predictable
think of someone else for a change
im not that complicated
everyones probably figured it out already
always needing someone to sing to, to reach through to
dont you know theres just so much more in here than me...
its not hard to see why im the only one for me
when theres no one else around
i can hardly hear one whisper of a sound
calling me back to me
but here i stay
so sick of singing for you
how can you see through that narrow vision?
how can i be listening to you?

i seem to wake up nearly every single day thinking what if i had taken that chance
if i had been just a little more forward, could i have been the one who had taken you home?
in the world around me, things move without me
seems ive never known how to be...
chorus
i cant believe i seem to be winning
maybe im getting somewhere
and i know i should apologise
but i don't know how and i don't know why
but still i wake up, and think to myself, this beautiful thing was right in my grasp
im so confused i dont know whats happening, the only touch i give is when you take me home
in the world around me, things move straight past me
seems ive never known how to be...
chorus
come out with me tonight
ill show you everything around my world
but thats all ill give you, thats all ill give you
thats all i can give to you cos
im not one of them, no
ill never be as big as them, no
ill always be just as plain as this, yes
i am not the man you want from me
i never took anything, nothing from you
but you took everything i had, everything from me
what can i say to you? cos i
i am not the man you want from me

mushrooms only when surrounded by those you love
speaking to god up here, looking him right in the eyes
why wont he talk to me? i really, really wanna hear...
walking with the water tonight, so blissfully unaware
calm against the storm, i applauded the might, laughing with the beauty
is this you talking, is this the way? still really wanna hear...
and you can cry with me...
smirnof to chat and the bells as a backdrop. why do i feel this disgust? i think i will have a smoke and ponder 'chivalry'. would i care more than the irritation at the lack of good movies, if the entire northern hemisphere blew itself away on a joint, a bush, and a handful of atomic mushrooms? probably not. haha.
basking in a warmth under a charcoal grey sky, in this neon haze
you seems so much closer now god, never been so close to you
still so far from reality, sitting right next to you...
and you can cry with me...
you can pour your rain, down on me...
come on, breath in, look ahead dont fall behind
this change in the season is throwing the rain in all the right places...
smirnof to chat...

Every time I look into your eyes
I’m waiting for you to leave me
How could I say such a stupid thing?
Such a small word with no such feeling
Just a dream of what a want when I want
All I’ve already got
(These selfish thoughts…)
I hate that you’re still good friends
I wanna be your only friend
I wanna be your best friend
Is he still more than a friend?
Chorus
This feels good, this feels like something different
I wanna keep this, don’t wanna lose this
You’re something different, so beautifully different
I gotta risk my oversensitive heart
And lose myself again
You gotta get used to compliments
You deserve the best of them
And I don’t don’t wanna be any kinda chain
Don’t wanna ground any of your dreams
But please, if there’s some space for me
I’ll gladly fill it in every way
And maybe I won’t lie anymore
Maybe I’ll feel what I feel for real
(My frightened mind…)
This has been the longest day
I can’t describe this feeling
This stupid fucking jealousy
This doesn’t help anything at all…
Chorus
And I’m gonna get drunk and dramatic sometimes
I’ll lose my confidence and I’ll look up at you
But hopefully you can understand
It’s not me, this insecurity…
Chorus

Lost inside my head tonight
I’ve gone and done it again
This time there’s more hurt than before
What are we doing here now?
Do you expect anything of me?
I just need to know
I need to know
Why am I so insecure?
Watched you walk away tonight
My tears are falling harder this time
I threw you again
My thought pulled me away again
All I want is to know
I just need to know
I need to know
Why am I so insecure?

im so full of those things i hate
youre never really gonna figure it out
youre never really gonna beat it down
this hypocritical 'minority'
cant it all just be something for everyone
chorus
something for the masses baby, youve got it, youve got it
something for the masses baby, youve got it, youve got it
all worked out, my friend
all worked out, my friend, dontcha?
if its all about the music
if its all about being true to yourself
then why does everyone have to be just like you?
just let them love what works for them
chorus
chorus
try to hear what ive been saying try see what youre creating
try to find the understanding try to practice what youre preaching
now that everyone becomes the thing that you hate the most
now that everyone's become the thing that you love the most
where would your culture be
with the success of your anarchy?
where will your revolution be
when everyone becomes the minority?

call me pathetic
call me the weak one
call me a coward
call me what you will...
i know...
i know im not lost inside my ego
i know im not lost inside of me
chorus
its calling me
its calling me out but here i stay
i know...
i know im not lost inside my ego
i know that im lost inside of me
chorus
you are pathetic i never thought id do that to me
but then again its all i ever do anyway
everyone hears who im talking to
no one knows who im singing to
and theyre never gonna see
never gonna tell
never gonna know
its all me anyway
"there is no you, there is only me"
