The Like Album

Sunsets lost in
skies of hazy greys
june gloom sets in
puts me in a daze
nothing changes
all we do is wait
our heads hanging
shaking in dismay
cuz everyone's afraid

looks like the end of days
but it takes so much more
for anyone to say
we need another way
but if we wanted one
we'd do it just the same

winter's coming
still we're soaked in sun
summer somehow
split us one by one
days are darker
than they've ever been
but who could tell when
summer never ends
we've capsized in our end

looks like the end of days
but it takes so much more
for anyone to say
we need another way
but if we wanted one
we'd do it just the same

words don't change a thing
sun disguises darkness
wish that I could save you
wish that I could stop this

looks like the end of days
but it takes so much more
for anyone to say
we need another way
but if we wanted one
we'd do it just the same

Walking from the past
But I don't think I've said my good-byes
Sometimes I just find
That they keep sneaking up from behind

Closing up the wounds
I suppose it's supposed to take some more time
Then why do I find
That we've closed every door on our lives?

and I know you're the only one for me
but standing in my sleep

Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what I mean

Something haunts my dreams
Don't know what it means

Itching at the scabs
Only makes my troubles run high
Cause scratching in the sheets
Makes my bark much worse than my bite

Itching for a fight
As your nails are running over my spine
Cause the doors are open
And they keep floating back to my mind

but I know you're the only one for me
but standing in my sleep

Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what I mean

Something haunts my dreams
Don't know what it means

Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what I keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what I mean

My screws are loose, my noose is tight
I'm lost, I'm back and forth, I'm inbetween. (x2)

Has the raining stopped yet?
I don't notice anymore
pick up your face
sit down in the rain
as you've never really done before
how can this be stopped when
you just opened up the door?
how can I go
back to my home
thinking life is such a bore?

interesting
it seems to me
the irony of ecstacy
iis coming down much harder than before
interesting
when you can see
that normal life's like sleep-walking
compared to all the things you once ignored

you wake me up
when you're around
it's just my luck
can't do without
and when you're gone
watch as I drown
you bring me down
you bring me down...

back and forth
I'm walking
I'm in heaven and in hell
life is asleep
between the sheets
the person has to keep the weak
back and forth you're walking
you're my heaven and my hell
keep me awake
don't wanna sleep
just until the next farewell

interesting
it seems to me
the irony of ecstacy
is coming down much harder than before
interesting
when you can see
that normal life's like sleep-walking
not another day
not another day
can't take much more

you wake me up
when you're around
it's just my luck
can't do without
and when you're gone
watch as I drown
you bring me down
you bring me down...

so i'll sit here waiting
while the world will pass me
you can't help me
you walk by me
i can't say a word
i'm helpless
can't help it
you can't stop me now

'cause i wanna be bad for you
you just lead the way i'll follow
i don't wanna think it through
never give a thought tomorrow

lost in thoughts of empty dispositions
my position stops me
can't stand up
i can't breathe
you're telling me you're not for me
but i'll just make you see

that i wanna be bad for you
you just lead the way i'll follow
i don't wanna think it through
never give a thought tomorrow

i'll never be like your kind of girl
never be right there in the world
but i'll entertain the notion
that i could live there to

Wake up, it's over
again, the day's getting colder
Headaches, my mind breaks
Kicked the covers on the floor

Downstairs, they're laughing
Everybody seeming happy
I'd say it's too early to smile
I haven't done that in a while

'Cause I can't see your face any longer
Not a trace any longer
I can't hide
I'm not laughing anymore
I can't be who you wanted me to be
Who you wanted me to see
I don't know now what's in store
anymore

Flashbacks, of times past
I will just forget to make it last
Turning on the lights
I'm waiting
Nothing seems to be changing
Books are on the desk
blank papers
Every sign of life just seems to taper

'Cause I can't see your face any longer
Not a trace any longer
I can't hide
I'm not laughing anymore
I can't be who you wanted me to be
who you wanted me to see
I don't know now what's in store
Oh

Hear me out
Nothing's gonna break
Nothing's gonna break me down
Me down
Nothing's gonna take
Nothing's gonna take me out

I put a wager on uncertainty
it's funny when you wager how you feel
I hit the breaking point
then broke on through
I'm never certain when it comes to you

once things look up
I come falling down
too deep to take a step
and look around
once things look up
I come falling down

I bottle up the pieces
[and repair]
but every time we break
I'm building still
stand back and marvel at what we have made
it's hard to notice when you run away

once things look up
I come falling down
too deep to take a step
I'm buried now
once things look up
I come falling down

wouldn't it nice
if we could both be right
so we could go to bed each day
without a single fight
and we would be alright
and you could say goodnight
instead of just
goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye

ah...

once you look up
sun will hide your frowns
too light to see the dark
so hidden now

once things look up
I come falling down
I try and nothing's there
behind the clouds
ah..

once I look up
all comes falling down

Somewhere was a different kind of time
The children were too bored to lose their lives
The change in loss and star crossed love and lies
But in today can't find that kind of time
There's nothing to submerge and to inspire
No person to reflame that kind of fire

And say, haven't you heard you have the right to make a move?
With everything to gain and know there's nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard, it's up to everyone to prove?
That even though there are days when no one else knows what to do

I had always thought it was alright
'Cause who would think things in such modern times?
But who am I to question such a lie?
When I still hold my own place in the line
What could make a person wish to fight
A dozen lights of gold roll into his sight

And say, haven't you heard you have the right to make a move?
With everything to gain and know there's nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard, it's up to everyone to prove?
That even though there are days when no one else knows what to do

lala lala lala lala lala lala la
lala lala lala lala lala lala la

Somewhere there's a different kind of time (ahh ahh ah)
The children were too bored to lose their lives
The change in loss and star crossed love and lies
But in today can't find that kind of time
There's nothing to submerge and to inspire
A person to reflame that kind of fire

And say, haven't you heard you have the right to make a move?
With everything to gain and know there's nothing left to lose
Haven't you heard, it's up to everyone to prove?
That even though there are days when no one else knows what to do

We've been going back and forth
I'm waiting for the day you call me
I think I can do it on my own

Swinging like a pendulum
The time ticks by
Until it's gone
I'm thinking about the sun that's never shown

Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running
I'm going into shock
Cause you're too late, too late, too late

Never quite the effort maker
I see you're not nearly ready
I think I can do it on my own
Just too late and still too little
I just seem to miss you crawling
Never thought the day would come, I know

Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running
I'm going into shock
Cause you're too late, too late, too late

Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running
I'm going into shock
Cause you're too late, too late, too late

You're too late
Too late, too late
You're too late
Not quite the same

We are lost on a L.A. county night
We are lost in the shadows of our times
We'll just drive till we make it back in time
We'll just drive through the highways of our minds

And it looks my way
And I hear you say it in my mind
But you're not mine

I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
And I know that I'm wasting all my time

We can't hear through the stereo's uproar
I can't hear as I become as i become what i abhor
So I'm blind to the things that I adore
it's drowning out my mind's objective roar
And he's coming closer still
And I consequently feel
That in my heart, we're apart

I'm thinking about you
thinking about you
thinking about you
thinking about you
And I know that I'm wasting all my time
Cause you're not mine

Oh Oh Oh

i'm not shouting, i'm just talking
you're not listening, you're just looking
take one into grab another
in one ear and out the other

and i'll stop it, i'll stay there
i'll never be the one you love

count your losses
stop your whining
must admit you've perfect timing
i'll just wait here for an answer
your opinion still advancing

i'll stop it, i'll stay there
i'll never be the one you love, the one you love

i'm not shouting, i'm just talking
you're not listening, you're just talking

and i'll stop it, i'll stay there
i'll never be the one you love
(i'll stop it) i'll stay there
i'll never be the one you love, the one you love
the one you love
the one you love
the one you love

Look, look at them go
Thinking they know
Are they sure?
Cruel, cruel are their ways
Number their days
You can't repay
Watch, watch as they run
The race has been won
They're dying to play
You watching there, crying
Checking their time
as slowly they die

You feed me a lie
We'll travel to the sky
But you leave me behind
I could never run away
No, I could never run away this time

Watch as gypsy girls play
Pirate boys stare
You talk to hate
Sneak to backwards hotels
Making their hell
Before it's too late

Catch the worker bees go
Sinking so low, each one alone
Watch as their worlds collide
And you're stuck inside
keep them alive

You feed me a lie
We'll travel to the sky
But you leave me behind
I could never run away
No, I could never run away this time

Now, I know what i have been told
world is crying so loud
Stuck and sick
Have my wings been clipped?
Lift me up off the ground
Help me now

I'm waiting
Wait to bolt away my breath
I'm gone I'm gone
I'm staying
Though you act though I've grown legs
I'm gone I'm gone

In the crowd, I'm drowning
No one's around me
In your arms, my whole world's falling away

My armor left in bundles on the floor
Can't hide anymore
My shadow so much darker than before
Can't see anymore

In the crowd i'm drowning
No one's around me
Sailing by, my whole world is falling away

And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say you couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay

I'm waiting
Fear is bursting in my breath
I'm gone I'm gone
In the crowd I'm drowning
No one can find me
Let me stop surrounding
I'm falling away

And I'm sorry that I've stopped your ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say you couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay

You couldn't stop at all
You couldn't stop at all
You couldn't stop

I'm sorry that it's not two ways
But you can have me when you're on your way in
And I'm sorry that you feel this way
Sorry that you stopped to say you couldn't stop to stay
You couldn't stop to stay you couldn't stop to stay

I'm waiting (5x)

Waiting alone in the darkness
racing for something
hoping it stays
watching the waves
watch as they break
leaving you nothing
waiting to wake

lost in disarray
wakes that never fade
and you walking on by
you can't deny
you're making no change
oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
cuz neither am I

waiting alone in the darkness
racing for someone
hoping they stay
watching the days
watch as they fade
leaving you nothing
waiting to wake

lost in disarray
waves that never break
and you walking on by
you can't deny
you're making no change
oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
cuz neither am I

break me or something
cuz I'm fading away
am I waiting for nothing?
am I dead or awake
cuz I won't wait
but I won't break
cuz...

waiting alone in the darkness
smiling and falling
too frightened to say
we can't live this way
we can't still obey
when all's come to nothing
who can still wait?

lost in endless days
waves that never break
and you walking on by
you can't deny
you're making no change
oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
cuz neither am I
