I was on my way
To be with you today
well you know it's true
Because I wouldn't lie to you

First my car broke down
So then I had to hitch a ride
I was almost there
When the motor died

Don't hate me forever
I'm better late than never
I failed you
I'm sorry
That's simply my life story

I know it's much too late
To take you on a date
I know that it's no use
But this is my excuse

I was in a plane
And it was falling from the sky
I knew I had to survive
So I could say goodbye

You change your mind
Like I change the time
That I was gonna call you
Or say I was about to
You change your mind
Like I change the time
I said that I would be there
But then I didn't have a thing to wear

Waking up is hard to do when no one loves you
Years pass by, that's something you have gotten used to

Some of us are dumb and blind and out of our minds
Walking passed each day through fields of land mines

Let the weak say I am strong
Let yourself say I was wrong
Let your heart move on
Let your heart move on

Wipe the drool up off your face and make your plans
The prison where you hang your head missed your demands

It's highly time, throw down your wine, put foolish things away
Don't forget, prepare your set, be true to your own way

Do you find yourself from day to day
Staring at a stranger's face?
As you find yourself to your dismay
Looking into your own face

I don't want this responsibility
And don't use me because I don't agree

Why lie, do or die?
Why lie, do or?

Responsibility? What's that?
Responsibility? not quite yet
Responsibility? What's that?
I don't want to think about it; we'd be better off without it

You think I'm so simplistic
I'm onto you and your tricks

I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way
'Cause growing up won't make everything okay
I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way
I've got a voice and I've got a lot to say
I've got a lot to say. . .

Well this is true I miss you
And this is true I've got to see you, I've got to see you
Well I know we're both so busy
And I know that you're driving me crazy, you drive me crazy

It's been two whole years
And three months before that
Since we first met, how could I forget?

You know it's all my fault
And this is ture you're gonna get mad
Whenever I've been bad
I'll have to make it up to you
One white rose or one sweet song for you
Anything for you

I'm a fool to think that I deserve you
I'm pretty foolish anyway
I've been planning to hold on to you
And so far things have, things have gone my way

I can't hold back
I can't relax
I can't let go
I can't say no
Can't take the time
Can't make you mine
Can't know for sure
Can't find the cure

And what does this all mean?
And after all I've seen

I'm gonna prove it to the world
I'm gonna prove it to the world
I'm gonna prove it to the world
So here I go

Can't ascertain
I can't refrain
I can't decline
I won't fall behind
I won't sit down
I won't leave town
I can't deny
And I won't cry

And what does this all mean?
And after all I've seen

I'm gonna prove it to the world
I'm gonna prove it to the world
I'm gonna prove it to the world
So here I go
Uh oh oh. . .

Everything's gotten so complicated
Now you're older now you're jaded
You despise what you used to love
Cursing everything under the sky above

When you think back does it ever make you cry?
Like it does me with the tears all in my eyes
Crying, driving in my car
Looking back on my life so far

All the things that you believe in
Lies all lies they've been deceiving you
Deceiving me, deceiving you

When we were young we were told so many times
Prepare for your future cause it won't be easy
They never did tell us to enjoy life, here it is
Because before you know it life has passed you by

All the things. . .
All the time you have invested
Wasted time not to be trusted
Washed away from you away from me
They've been deceiving, you deceiving me

Wonder and complete surprise
It's all seen through those eyes
Tired, lonely and afraid
Every card's been played

So where do we go? And what should we do?
And why is the table set for two?
Is the answer in the question? I need some more direction/suggestions
Was the answer in the question all along?
DA DA DA DA

Love, hate, life and certain death
All in just one breath
Mixed up, straight down, opened, closed down
Created, then unwound

Music today isn't the way it's supposed to be
You like what you're told
And if you know what's good then you'll agree

It's someone to tell ya who you are
Someone to tell you who to be
Someone to show you what you see

It's the next big thing

You go to the store and
It's the same bands stacked on each other
You've heard it before but now
It's better than it's cover

How low can you go?
How low will you go?
To be the next big thing?

Some people say that I threw my brain away
That I'm illogical and don't have much to say
Some people say that it's foolish to believe
In what we cannot see, so we're deceived

All that I can do is listen to you
All that you can be is out there, you'll see

Every single time that I
Explain to you my reasons why
You turn away; you close your eyes
And then you cut me down to size

Some people say that I threw my vote away
The moment I decided to live life this way
Some people say that it's foolish to believe
In what we cannot see, so we're deceived
I'm not here to make you all agree
But have you truly studied this historically?

Every single time that I
Explain to you my reasons why
You turn away; you close your eyes
And then you cut me down to size

Every single time that I
Explain to you my reasons why
You turn away; you close your mind
Your heart's just not prepared to find
Some meaning, some meaning

Just wait, and listen to that voice
It calls so quietly, for you to make a choice
What will it be? What will it be?

Some would say tomorrow is just one step closer to death
I'd say tomorrow is just one step closer to life
And understanding and to know it's gonna be alright

So in conclusion have I made my decisions clear?
With every passing moment of my life this year
Well not exactly so that's what I am doing here

No one's on display
And no one's gonna be passed around today
I won't let it happen, if I can help it
Take your inconsistence away

Would it be right to say that no one ever truly listens?
Or takes the time to understand what something means
Without opinion, bias, without a one-track mind

What can be done to change a habit born in our minds?
First step to Kiros is to take the shells out of our eyes
And then to wonder, enjoy life, maybe even relax, even relax

Somewhere deep inside your mind
You don't want anyone to find
That you're
Someone with very big ideas
The words that just came off your lips
Just crossed your name off the list
It's long gone and already forgotten

I was thinking just the other day

Some things are better left undone
Some battles are better left unwon
Some sad songs better left unsung

Is there something more to know?
And is there someplace left to go?
Someplace with something there to see?
Is there anyone at all?
Not one to make that final call
To all those people wondering?

Some things are better left undone
Some battles are better left unwon
Some sad songs better left unsung

Some fires are better left unfed
Some pages better left unread
Some words are better left unsaid

What kind of person would you be?
If less is what you see, then less is everything
And if you look what will you find?
Would that make up your mind?
And make up everything, make up everything

Would it be too much to ask?
Too much too fast?
I'm all-alone and I want you here with me
I'm not the best at romance
I've had my chance
I don't want much, but I want you here with me

I want you here with me
Why can't you just see?
I want you here with me

I'm on the other side now
Please help me out
Catch the next plane because I want you here with me
Could I be out of my head?
Pronounced brain dead?
I think with my heart, and I want you here with me

I got a confession to make
That my heart would break
To hear you say goodbye
You're my every dream
You're the threadwork to my seams
And you know that I can't lie, when I say

I can't stop thinking about you
I can't stop thinking about how
My heart's empty without you

I just hate myself
To think of you with someone else
To hear you say goodbye
I love you for who you are
No more, no less
And you know that I can't lie, when I say. . .

My dreams will never come true without you

It doesn't matter what you need just where you go to get it
It doesn't matter what you've done there's no need to regret it
If you're a loser just like me then life hasn't been easy
Maybe you were waiting for the wake up call
And when it came, your line was busy

I know it's happened to me. And it will happen again
If I don't slow down and listen (and listen)

It's undeniable; we're so much smaller than we think we are

The first step that I needed to take was giving God control
That's a struggle for me everyday, and I'm letting you all know
There's a willingness that comes alive
When you begin tearing down the walls
But the first step is so very hard if you take a first step at all

I know it's happened to me. And it will happen again
If I don't slow down and listen (and listen)
If I don't sit down and listen (and listen)

When we've built up walls around us our hardened hearts can't bear
The healing hurts so badly that no one seems to care
And after all, and after all

If I could take what I've learned
From all the mistakes I've made
From the pages that I've turned
From the lost games that I've played

I'd be a better person for it
Better than deciding to ignore it
It meant so much to me
I want to make things right with you and me

Misplaced memories I've, retraced my steps so many times
Well maybe it was meant to be
And maybe all the answers are right here in front of me/
What else can I say, I let the past get to me

If things could go differently
If we could learn to agree
I'm willing to apologize
Because I realize

Seems like yesterday, I was cruising down Chico Way
