Thornley Album

I see you coming up the drive
That's when I know that I'm alive And all the things we'll leave behind
We finally found what we can find

The rest of my life is falling to pieces
While we get lost inside the moment

The waves keep crashing at my door
'Til I can't hear them anymore
And all the time I gave away
Made me who I am today

The rest of my life is falling to pieces
And where would I be now without you baby

The rest of my life is falling to pieces

The rest of my life is falling to pieces
While we get lost inside the moment

The rest of my life is falling to pieces
And where would I be now without you baby

As a child I found myself alone
Always walking in defense
Here they come again
All I want to do was just get home
But I'm pinned to the fence
But here they come again

I walked home all alone

All this and more
All this and more

I guess this is living
Would you come again?
Could you come again?
I never quite feel right
But I come again
Would you come again?

Yes I've become a
Rock and roll cliche
Because I 'm looking for revenge
And here they come again

I still walk home alone

All this and more
All this and more

I guess this is living
Would you come again?
Could you come again?
I never quite feel right
But I come again
Would you come again?

All this and more
All this and more

I guess this is living
Would you come again?
Could you come again?
I never quite feel right
But I come again
Could you come again?

I guess this is living
Would you come again?
Could you come again?
You never quite feel right
But you come again
Would you come again?

I feel a little bit left of center
but then again we've all been there before
Every time I see a lost cause coming
it's nothing less, nothing more
Every time I get lost in paradise
I find a way to screw it up somehow
It's not the way it's supposed to be
but it'll do for now

When you're right, you're right
Everything else in my life just might be wrong
You're wrong all the time

So far so good 'cause no one knows I'm faking
I wish I could show you the toll it's taking
Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow
So far so good

I better find a way to cross my fingers
half the luck'll get me twice as far
I'm sick and tired of coming up for air
it shouldn't be this hard
Every little bit'll help I wonder
if it's enough or did I cross the line
The kitchen counter is a bad reminder of a better time

When you're right, you're right
Everything else in my life just might be wrong
You're wrong all the time

So far so good 'cause no one knows I'm faking
I wish I could show you the toll it's taking
Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow
So far so good

When you're right
Everything else you messed up just might be wrong
You're wrong all the time

So far so good 'cause no one knows I'm faking
I wish I could show you the toll it's taking
Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow
So far so good

What's the going rate on life vs. love?
What's the going rate on heaven up above?
I feed on the plans that I've made up to now

What's the going rate on accountability?
What's the going rate on you vs. me?
I'm far from the walls and the trust that keep me here

I'm stuck in the mud, it's stuck in my mind
How we're running out of time

Bent out of shape but I'm on the up & up
Pulled out my roots, yes I have
Wasted so much on everything but this
It's my fix, it's my fix, it's my fix

What's the going rate on making this thing right?
What's the going rate on staying out all night?
It's hard to believe in the things I trust the most
There's so many signs, how many ways
Can I deceive my yesterday

Bent out of shape but I'm on the up & up
Pulled out my roots, yes I have
Wasted so much on everything but this
It's my fix, it's my fix, it's my fix

Can you be bigger than this?
Can you be stronger than this?
We're counting on you
Everything's waiting on you
Everything's focused on you
To do what you should do

Bent out of shape but I'm on the up & up
Pulled out my roots, yes I have
Wasted so much on everything but this
It's my fix, it's my fix, it's my fix

I know this comes as no surprise
but the wool's been pulled over our eyes for years
And all the while we sit with our legs crossed
as some poor bastard finds he's lost ten years

That's just another day I live inside my head
I'm tired of all the ways that I wish I was dead
It's been so many years I've finally figured out a way to keep a good man down

I locked you up and threw away the key to all your better days, my bad, my friend
There's so many things you'll never be, many things you'll never have, so sad, oh well

That's just another day I live inside my head
I'm tired of all the ways that I wish I was dead
It's been so many years I've finally figured out a way to keep a good man down

As you're floating through the paces of your day
There's a burning need to get yourself away
Everywhere temptation starts to breed
The things you know you'll never need to
satisfy that greed
Satisfy that greed

I know this comes as no surprise but the wool's been pulled over our eyes for years, my dear

That's just another day I live inside my head
I'm tired of all the ways that I wish I was dead
It's been so many years I've finally figured out a way to keep a good man down

Early morning hits
I found a way to get out of this
Underneath your desk
I carve your name across my chest

I got off my hands
I got on my knees
Now I know I'll pave the way
To paint your face with greed
I got up off of my knees
I got up on to my feet
And then I found that I paved the way
To pay for your disease

Well easy comes but here we go again

Just take two of these and call me later on
Everything is cool, you can borrow what you want
I've got the necessary tools to get you through the day

It doesn't matter who you are
because there ain't no other way, go on, go on

Now I spend my days
Occupied in different ways
Orange afternoons
Soap-box preachers and jail tattoos

I got off my hands
I got on my knees
Now I know I'll pave the way
To paint your face with greed
I got up off of my knees
I got up on to my feet
And then I found that I paved the way
To pay for your disease

Well easy comes but here we go again

Just take two of these and call me later on
Everything is cool, you can borrow what you want
I've got the necessary tools to get you through the day

It doesn't matter who you are because there ain't no other way, go on, go on

Easy comes and easy goes

Well easy comes but here we go again

Just take two of these and call me later on
Everything is cool, you can borrow what you want
I've got the necessary tools to get you through the day

It doesn't matter who you are because there ain't no other way, go on, go on

Wake up, medicate, again
Ever after is a friend
But you and I we get so high
We never quite came down
Ever after again

What could be more beautiful than you
and I falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
so beautiful they're slipping away

Light my past on fire
Spell it right in black and white
A coward's here for hire

What could be more beautiful than you
and I falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
so beautiful they're slipping away

It's beautiful (slipping away)

It's time to pack up and vacate
I'm so fed up of closing up
And running from myself

What could be more beautiful than you
and I falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
so beautiful they're slipping away

Wake up, medicate, again
'Cause ever after is my friend

On my way back from nowhere now
Always tell by my breath somehow
There's no songs worth singing out there
The landscape of inspiration's so bare

No straight jacket on me

Eat my breakfast with employees
And they push this thing even further still
Which they knowingly try to kill

On the bright side
There's never been a right side
Of love to lay on
Remembered or forgotten

You keep it coming, you pour it on
This conclusion is not forgone
When I get lost inside a dream
You know it's time to scrub and to quarantine

On the bright side
There's never been a right side
Of life to live on
Remembered or forgotten

On the bright side
The morning kills the night time
Your life is your time
Yesterday's just a past time

Crush my only nerve
Overstate what you deserve
Crawling on the floor
One can see under the door

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

Crack your ready whip
Gentlemen shoot from the hip
Throw my fears away
I can't afford them anyway

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

How could you show me that life's worth living
I'll never live it with you
And every time there's a gift worth giving
You won't let me give it to you

When everything was right Oh Oh
Now everything seems wrong Oh Oh
The last words spoken

I found another way
I found another way
I found another way
And I want you notice

Empty houses are full of promise
So many things you can do
And every time that the phone starts ringing
I can't help but think that it's you.

When everything was right Oh Oh
Now everything seems wrong Oh Oh
The last words spoken

I found another way
I found another way
I found another way
And I want you notice

When everything was right Oh Oh
Now everything seems wrong Oh Oh
The last words spoken

I found another way
I found another way
I found another way
And I want you notice

I never'd have guessed
you and I would be friends
I'll never say never again
I've spent hours on the phone
and all the rest
I guess I bleed the best
And every night it's plain to see
it wasn't meant to be

After all is said and done, it's over after all
You barely cried as you waved goodbye

It all comes out in the wash
Who would've guessed it would wind up like this
It's better than never again
I've spent hours in the rain and dried out somehow
I'd rather plead the fifth

And every time the morning comes
I wonder what I've done

After all is said and done, it's over after all
You barely cried as you waved goodbye
It all comes out in the wash

Empty cars and phone booth scars
Knuckles on the mend
Every time I go too far I'd rather wind up
Rather wind up dead

I should've guessed it would end up like this
I'll never say never again

After all is said and done, it's over after all
You barely cried as you waved goodbye
It all comes out in the wash

Around it comes and round it goes
Around it swims around my head
All of us are lonley souls
And all of get left for dead

How come I always try to cross
Even though I know the bridge is burning?
How come I take it
When I know that you fake it?
I tell myself I'm learning

The lies that I believe are simple
The lies that I believe are true
The lies that I believe are so beautiful
The lies that I believe are true

All the flings and all the flaws
Let me cling to someone's clause
All of us are lonely souls
And all of us mend broken laws

How come I always try to cross
Even though I know the bridge is burning?
How come I take it
When I know that you fake it?
I tell myself I'm learning

The lies that I believe are simple
The lies that I believe are true
The lies that I believe are so beautiful
The lies that I believe are true

Everyone uses, everyone abuses
Nobody takes the blame
Everyone uses, everyone abuses
Ain't it such a shame

The lies that I believe are simple
The lies that I believe are true
The lies that I believe are so beautiful
The lies that I believe are true
