I’ve only known you for four months
I feel like I’ve known you for five
A love like you is so rare
A love like you keeps me alive
Because sometimes I don’t feel okay
And sometimes I don’t know what to say
But give me one small reason to feel
And I feel
On top of the world, you make me feel
On top of the world, you make me feel
On top of the world
If I could love the whole world I’d feel the same
My whole world is you
Our story’s never ending
Our story is one to be told
I wish that you’d stop pretending
That with one touch my world would turn to gold
I admit, sometimes I don’t feel okay
And sometimes I get in my own way
But one look at your brown sugar smile and
I just feel
On top of the world, you make me feel
On top of the world, you make me feel
On top of the world
If I could love the whole world I’d feel the same
My whole world is you

I've never been a liar
I just thought you wouldn’t understand
I’m like a vegetarian
Making meets end
I didn't mean to condescend
I'm not gonna be sad forever
Trust me on my soul, it's my endeavor
Leave me alone if you're wasting time, wasting time
Leave me alone if you're wasting time, wasting time
Knees of a man genetically modified
Someone so tough, someone who knows they've tried
And all the sound is beginning to pale for me
Why can't you say just what you want me to see in your eyes?
Thought I was broken, but I'm just fixed
I don't know much, I think I know this
Awkward silence, guess I dug too deep
When the water freezes over, do the ducks just sleep?
In this skin, I wish I felt fine
I'm a Barbie doll screaming "vengeance is mine"
I'm not gonna be sad forever
Trust me and my soul, it's now or never
Leave me alone if you're wasting time, wasting time
Leave me alone if you're wasting time, wasting time
Knees of a man genetically modified
Someone so tough, someone who knows they've tried
And every night I feel the waves
Commotion, commotion, come ocean
Through my brain.

Clothes (Distressed)
02:38
|
|||
Someone's working on my clothes
I better sew 'em before they get too far
Find what you love, don't let it go
And let it crush your bones under its car.
Last time the torso was too tight
Neck hole ripped around my head, you know
It's up to me to do it right
And it's too late to say I told you so
'Cause the remote is in my hands
Guess I can change the channel
If I wasn't intended to be able
Maybe you shouldn't have given me cable.
I'm in distress
I guess the stress is turning me on
It comes in cycles, yes I know
'Cause cycles circle in some type of form
Find what you love, don't let it go
Unless it finds you like a parasitic worm
Superficial disaster, you can't control me
Superficial disaster, you can't control me
Unless that's what you're after, you can control me
'Cause I want it too
I'm in distress
I guess the stress is turning me on

We Crash
02:24
|

I wasn’t ready to let you go but I knew I had to
These mind games sending me to and fro, you know, what else could I do?
I tried and tried and tried so hard
I could feel our love decay
There’s only so much you can give before you give yourself away
It’s not your fault any more than mine
We both tried and tried but left a little behind
We held a little back and it set us back
But we did the best we could
We tried and tried and tried so hard
I know you felt our love decay
But there’s only so much you can give before you give yourself away
Either you crash
Or I crash
Or we crash
And I chose.
In the end, you’re always left with yourself.

This is the first last time
I’ll sit there and say “it’s fine”
I’m gonna lose my mind
If you don’t stop talking
I know you want me to
Open my heart to you
But every time I do
You squeeze out the juice
And so this is it.
No more late night talks
No more misjudgments
Or misunderstandings
So this is it
No more long, sweaty walks
And no more long, pregnant gawks
No more demandings
So why am I sad?
That aint me
That aint me
That aint me to be the one to break your heart
You were everything, everything, you had been from the start
You were everything I wanted you to be
So what went wrong?
That aint me

I Think I'm Lonely
05:41
|

"I think I’m lonely,
All on my own"
That’s what she told me
On our way home
"Like I’ve nobody,
Nowhere to roam"
I just said nothing
And pulled out my phone
She thought I was cheating
“Whose hair is this?”
“You know I would never
I’m prisoner to your kiss”
But did she believe me?
Was it a joke?
Now that I’m lonely
I’ll never know
Now I think I’m lonely
All on my own
I want you to hold me
I wish you were home
But I gave up fighting
I gave up on us
Now I’m so lonely
I couldn’t win back her trust.
No, I don’t blame you
I don’t fault you at all
I thought you were different
Thought you had no flaws at all
I’d still do every and
Anything for you
Living without you
Is so hard to do
Now I’ll keep my distance
I’ll walk away
I’ve spent too much time here
What else can I say?
Gone in a second
Speckles of dust
Now I’m so lonely
I couldn’t win back her trust.
Now I’m so lonely
I couldn’t win back her trust.

She is a movie star
Who do you think you are?
She is an architect
She hasn’t found it yet
She's got a stick and poke
Caught in your secondhand, secondhand, secondhand joke
She is a movie star
Who do you think you are?
I couldn’t take no more
There was always something
Nothing I did was right
So I just did nothing
And that was even worse
I wanted to be alone
I told her way too late
And she hung up the phone
Just give a little word about who you are
And they’ll let you off, they’re sure to let you off
Just give a little word about who you are
And they’ll let you off, they’re sure to let you off
Just give
Just give
I’m not bitter at all
I gave all that I could
Would I do it again?
Oh man, you bet I would
She loved me at my worst
and I revered her at her best
She looked all black and white
I couldn’t see the rest
Some things are better left unsaid even though they’re true
I said “you look a lot better without makeup on,” she said “it’s not for you”
If you’re gonna crack an egg, I might as well slurp the yolk
‘Cause I’m the cigarette butt of your secondhand joke
Of your secondhand, secondhand, secondhand joke
Of your secondhand, secondhand, secondhand joke
Of your secondhand, secondhand, secondhand joke
Of your secondhand, secondhand, secondhand joke
Just give a little word about who you are
And they’ll let you off, they’re sure to let you off
Just give a little word about who you are
And they’ll let you off, they’re sure to let you off

The facts of life
Everybody hurts sometimes
I wanted you to realize
Sometimes it’s just your mind
No one can get to you.
The facts of life
Everything burns so close to the sun
I wanted you to realize
Sometimes it’s just your mind
No one can get to you.
And now we’re here
I’m sorry I was wishy washy
I’m sorry I was never certain
But I was certain of you, of you, of you
And now we’re here
Why didn’t you let me love you?
I only ever wanted to love you
You wouldn’t put me through
I guess you don’t always have to put out the fire
Some fires need to burn
Burn, burn, burn
I guess you don’t always have to put out the fire
Some fires need to burn
The facts of life
Everybody hurts sometimes
I wanted you to realize
Sometimes it’s just your mind
I only wanted you.
The facts of life
Everything burns so close to the sun
You felt you had to censor your love near me.
You never had to censor your love near me.

Back to Sunnyside
05:25
|

Here’s the part where I try to find the silver lining
But where is it? Where does the silver lie?
And why?
Does it lie, I try and try to find my purpose
I propose as I run, so it goes
I can’t hide anymore
I can’t hide
I can’t hide anymore
I can’t hide
I’m going back to sunnyside
Happiness will greet me there
Arms open wide for a hug
She hasn’t seen me for a while
I’ve traveled miles, and so she smiles
The river seems golden under the bright, cheerful sun
And the grass is greener than ever before
No longer do I have to cry
No longer do I have to hide
I’m back in sunnyside
Here’s the part where I try to find the silver lining
But where is it? Where does the silver lie?
And why
Does it lie?
Does it lie?
Does it lie?
Does it lie?
