You're a few years overdue.
I spent them waiting here for you.
Now your charity's refused,
I can name a penance for abuse.
Twenty four years overdue,
what kind of role model are you?
Very least learn not to do,
I think I might be over you.
Do hope I won't
Learn to make
The same mistakes,
That you would
Make me aware
That only fear,
My only hope,
Is letting go.
Went on a limb for you,
Capsized when I turned twenty two.
Did it burn as bad for you?
No bottle serves to soothe my wounds.
Do hope I won't
Learn to make
The same mistakes,
That you would
Make me aware
That only fear,
My only hope,
Is letting go.
My only hope
Is letting go.
You're a few years overdue.
I spent them waiting here for you.

I'll fawn over photographs
That you never would get to see
Swallow your own neglect
With your miserable company
Your daughter forgot her memories
Your daughter forgot her
Remember these
I'm over the precedent
Of a false security
No matter how I come back
You can never be proud of me
It's too long to stay gone
It's too long to stay gone
[Chorus]
I don't regret what words were said-
Deserved respect you never had
Watching the world keep falling around you
I don't expect your hand in this
Under duress and influence
Watching the world keep falling around you
I'll fawn over photographs
That you never would get to see
No matter how I come back
You can never be proud of me
It's too long to stay gone
It's too long to stay gone
[Chorus]
I don't regret what words were said-
Deserved respect you never had
Watching the world keep falling around you
I don't expect your hand in this
Under duress and influence
Watching the world keep falling around you
(around you, around you)
I don't regret what words were said
Deserved respect you never had
Watching the world keep falling around you

(Ahh)
Can you take the bullet back?
Change it to a heart attack
my wish, I wonder could it be true?
Sick fits form a former home
Wmisfits under mistletoe
One year spent waiting, waiting for you
[Chorus]
This isn't what i wished for
This isn't what i knew
What can waiting do?
Date: Fall 1989
Daydream of a valentine
I couldn't wait to be added alone
jump forward to twelve years time
those dreams and a sad decline
I'd just thought leaving
Would leave it alone
[Chorus]
This isn't what i wished for
This isn't what i knew
What can waiting do?
What did we prove?
Didn't we make this all come true?
(I just keep hanging on for more)
Didn't we choose?
(I just keep on waiting at the door)
How did we lose?
Where did we let the reigns go loose?
(I just keep hanging on for more)
Didn't we choose?
(I just keep on waiting at the door)
How did we lose?
Didn't we let the reigns go loose?
(I just keep hanging on for more)
What if we knew?
(I just keep on waiting at the door)
How did we lose?
Didn't we let the reigns go loose?
Can you take the bullet back..

It rains and pours in twos
i wonder if i'll come home
no strength left to battle you
run to the open arms
of anyone
of anyone
i'm watching you fall from grace
breaking a heart of gold
don't ever try saving face
run with your heart of stone
it rains and pours in twos
i wonder if i'll come home
no strength left to battle you
run to the open arms
of anyone
of anyone
i'm watching you fall from grace
breaking a heart of gold
don't ever try saving face
run with your heart of stone
don't keep waiting up for me
don't keep hoping i'll come home
i'm watching you fall from grace
breaking a heart of gold
don't ever try saving face
run with your heart of stone
i'm watching you fall from grace
breaking a heart of gold
don't ever try saving face
run with your heart of stone

I didn't take that blow to heart
You couldn't tear our home apart
You anything you wanted everything
I don't have brusies I can show
Scars from abuse without a blow
You anything you wanted everything
You don't owe anything to me
I didn't take that blow to heart
You couldn't tear our home apart
You anything you wanted everything
You don't owe anything to me
But don't expect me not to live
I ask each year
Why am I here
Begging you please
Remembering
I'd rather die than be alone
I didn't take that blow to heart
You couldn't tear our home apart
Give you anything you wanted everything
You don't owe anything to me
But don't expect me not to live
I ask each year
Why am I here
Begging you please
Remembering
I'd rather die than be alone

I built an altar for you
out of polaroids and pins
on the wall of my room
i don't know what to do
waiting for you
should be a sin
out of south station
builds me up
it's all i can do
high as the moon
waiting for you
to come back to my room
i built an altar for you
hope you come around
those lead to my house
i had a question for you
telling the truth
throws at the sound
outside a station
builds me up
it's all i can do
high as the moon
waiting for you
to come back to my room
all i can say
is show me some strength
come over please
your enemies
won't get to you
waiting to speak
days into weeks
come over please
no enemies
outside a station
builds me up
it's all i can do
high as the moon
waiting for you
to come back to me please
come over soon
no enemies
come over see
i'm begging you
. . .

All we are
Is part
Of everything
It's out of our control
And I'll say
All you need to know
Is anything
That's happening is happening
All the ships in the ocean
Outside my window
Under the moon
All the lights in the harbour
Keep me from sleeping
Keep me from dreaming
Oh no
All that I know
All we are
Is part
Of everything
It's out of our control
And I'll say
All you need to know
Is anything
That's happening is happening
All the ships in the ocean
Outside my window
Under the moon
All the lights in the harbour
Keep me from sleeping
Keep me from dreaming
Keep the light on in the window
For the time that I am gone
And when this all is over
You will never be alone
Keep your head up
So you know
When you wake up
I'll be home
All the ships in the ocean
Outside my window
Under the moon
All the lights in the harbour
Keep me from sleeping
Keep me from dreaming
Oh no
All that I know
It's everything I know
. . .

I'm the one you've been hanging 'round
just stop hearing any sound
found you face down on the ground
found a friend never could be found
i've been waiting around
systems failing now
on your honor so i hear
it's never been your fault you swear
is the union based on fear?
tenement of tears
i've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground
is this all your world tonight?
is this all your world tonight?
have to tell a lie
to avoid a brutal fight
i've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground
. . .

Would you stay for one night?
if i didn't come home?
the end of a big fight
doesn't matter anymore
the point in my midlife
situation stands
but hours pass like years
wish you were here
wish you were here
did i open an old wound?
is there something i should know?
if it's all ending so soon
how could i possibly let go?
comes to a head, this is high noon
the finale we have planned
but hours pass like years
i wish you were here
say the words so slow
say it without fear
you won't turn to go
you won't leave me here
the past is all we know
the memories are clear
i wish you were here
if i told you, were you listening?
did you know this from the start?
do the dates match exactly?
your plan when we would part?
if i won't wait for another year
i guess you'll break my heart
it's true
you already knew
so take this as a souvenir
remember me, i'm waiting here
disappointed, hanging on
stayed behind while you moved on
wish you were here
. . .

Woke up at eight, started a fire
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
the water is bitter cold
laid in the raft till it started moving
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
we stopped along the way
on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold
lunch had been saved along with the lighters
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
never trust a man with food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
we'd laugh away the sunburn
as we laughed away his day
what we lost means nothing
for the memories will stay
caught the last bus, with no time to linger
driver seemed to be missing a finger
i turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
. . .

I'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
keep following anyone
who digs a deeper hole
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
my money, it changes how we used to value most
so over the short ascent that comes at any cost
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
didn't we build this together?
the worst just go wrong
the worst just go wrong
on and on
how do you win so many enemies?
i'm open to any good news
what if the world falls in?
on the only option we knew
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
didn't we build this together?
the worst just go wrong
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
my money, it changes how we used to value most
so over the short ascent that comes at any cost
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
the anchor that strong
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
(way too long)
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
. . .

I never asked to be sorry
If its over its over for sure
I don't regret that I didn't want to
Remember what all this was for
So this is all we can do
What news is in store
How come starting over
Would be frowned on anymore
Hannah hold on
Hannah hold on
Its all been said
Its all been done
I never witnessed bitter like this
I think I've been shot in cold blood
You won't admit it and I won't be around
Just so I hear the applause
This isn't all we can do
When in doubt should move on
No need to sort it all out
By the time you read this I'll be gone
Hannah hold on
Hannah hold on
Its all been said
Its all been done
Hang on
You only disappoint the ones who don't believe
Hannah hold on
I never asked to be sorry
If its over its over for sure
. . .
