Her heart cries again. Something she desires is something she can't hold, torturing her mind. Don't be certain, I'm not hoping. I can't see the sky. Don't be silly, I'm not crazy. I just can't see the sky. Rectify her soul. Give her life and say, "Look at the moon. He'll be here someday." Don't be certain, I'm not hoping. I can't see the sky. Don't be silly, I'm not crazy. I just can't see the sky.

All is quiet except for your fingers and thumbs, and it's making it hard to leave you. But you will survive. And I'm sure you will do, if you will your mind. As it is right now, I'm a real cruel fool. So I'll disappear now, see you soon. But your tears, somehow, seem to drown me too. So I'll stay for a while until it's cool. It's not easy but it's totally worth it. You don't have to think about me, because you will survive and you don't have to keep me in your heart. As it is right now, I'm a real cruel fool. So I'll disappear now, see you soon. But your tears, somehow, seem to drown me too. So I'll stay for a while until it's cool. Silence will not give me back answers. It's just always complicating matters. It's too late, I don't want to try harder. I'm beyond these complicated matters. And you will survive. Oh I'm sure you will do, if you will your mind. As it is right now, I'm a real cruel fool. So I'll disappear now, see you soon. But your tears, somehow, seem to drown me too. So I'll stay for a while until it's cool.

My Emptiness 04:09
Inviting somebody over is such a joke so it's something I don't try. It doesn't matter, I'm sober. I need my space so if ever, don't come by. Get away from my loneliness, it's my emptiness. And who cares? It feels right. It doesn't matter, I'm sober. I need my space so if ever, don't come by. Inviting somebody over is such a joke so it's something I don't try. Get away from my loneliness, it's my emptiness. And who cares? It feels right. There's something about the sunny day. It makes me feel worse all around. I'm sick of something tried and good. They come and go. There's something about the sunny day. It makes me feel worse all around. I'm sick of something tired and good. They come and go. Get away from my loneliness, it's my emptiness. And who cares? It feels right. It's such a joke so it's something I don't try.

So you wanted to be what you wanted to be. I hope you're glad. And you wanted to go where you wanted to go. But that's too bad, Because you're so near, but you'll be far. And you'll be out of here. Because you so wanted to see your stars, so you'll be out of here. If only the day before you wanted to leave was the day that I met you, everything could be beautiful. But it's too late, it's too late. Yeah it's too late, it's too late. I hope you're glad, but that's too bad. Now you're so near, but you'll be far. And you'll be out of here. Because you so wanted to see your stars, so you'll be out of here. And you're so near, but you'll be far. And you'll be out of here. Because you're so focused on who you are, so you'll be out of here.

My flight from LA was one week from that day. So I tried to phone home because I thought you're alone. But when I got to you, you were with a man. I didn't understand because he asked who I am. I tried hard to stay but you're the one who's leaving. If you had your way, you wouldn't want to see me. As I sat in the plane, I was going insane because when I land back home, I will be alone. We taxied down the runway. My mind was going astray just like slipping grains of sand through my fingers and my hands. I tried hard to stay but you're the one who's leaving. If you had your way, you wouldn't want to see me.

I talk to you as if you're just a friend. I really don't know if you see a trend.
The less I look into your eyes, the faster I fall from the skies.
And ever since the day we met, I grab every chance I get to spend my spare time with you.
I wonder if you even have a clue.
That every time i offer to take you on a ride, it's really my heart that is screaming from inside.
But I'm asking you to see what you and me could be, thinking that I'm really right for you.
So why don't you just take a chance? Come on put down that guarded stance.
Time will stop and things will fly. Who thought it could be you and I?
Because every time i offer to take you on a ride, it's really my heart that is screaming from inside.
But I'm asking you to see what you and me could be, thinking that I'm really right for you.
But on some days, I'd rather sit and stare instead of worrying if you even care.
That every time i offer to take you on a ride, it's really my heart that is screaming from inside.
And every time you say "no thank you" anyway, there's nothing left but to leave you there to stay.
But I'm asking you to see what you and me could possibly be, saying that I'm really right for you.
It's true.

Friday Noon 03:58
I'm skipping work today. I don't feel good. I don't feel wanted there. I know I'm not lazy. I just can't present myself that I'm valuable. I don't recall having been so evil. I did my best. I'm sorry it was just meager. Now it's a true blue friday noon and I'm still not awake. Oh it's a true blue friday noon and I'm still not awake. I just embrace the afternoon and I can only wait. I broke the trust. That's nothing anyway. I doomed myself to rot on this rotten bed. I close my eyes and I dream of things that are far from what is now. I don't recall having been so evil. I did my best. I'm sorry it was just meager. Now it's a true blue friday noon and I'm still not awake. Oh it's a true blue friday noon and I'm still not awake. I just embrace the afternoon and I can only wait.

Underwater 04:02
Why do you stay if you are tired? There is nothing to prove to you. I can't be what you want. I have nothing for you, but don't refuse my time so we don't have to change our minds. Something tells me it's not working. But there's no harm if you don't refuse my time, so we don't have to change our minds. Why do you stay if you are tired? I have nothing for you but don't refuse my time so we don't have to change our minds. Oh use my time so we don't have to change our minds.

Looking in at nothing, eyes are drawn in a way that was never before. You will love me, even though you can't explain it. Ah, turn the radio off, and turn on the fire alarm. Clapping like I'm a comedian, and no one is laughing, because I'm not into it anymore. Looking in at nothing, eyes are drawn in a way that was never before.

Summer turns to fall. And I wonder, will I ever find you at all? It always begins with you, the places that I want to go to. This will be my only refrain. In Spain... that's where you'll find me. Stop by a vineyard, open a bottle or two. Bring out the glasses, let's make a toast. Together let's go... Spain... that's where you'll find me.

You Should 05:02
In our world, you get anything that I give. I hope you don't mind, that is everything I can come up with. And in this room, I can terrify the most of you. And in this room, I can terrify the most of you in a minute. I can do it again. I can do it in seventeen other places. And I would turn around because it is twenty-four minutes until midnight. And in this room, I can terrify the worst from you. And in this room, I can terrify the worst from you in a second. And in this room, I can terrify the most of you. And in this room, I can terrify the worst from you. And in this room, I can terrify the worst from you in a minute. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. Come out in circles because I love you more than I should. So you should.

When you're around they say "hi" and try to take you for a ride. All you can say is "surely now." I tried to make you turn around. God knows you've been there countless times. Your dignity has gone away. You know you can be cool sometimes but you just couldn't wait. Your dignity has gone away. You know I can go for you but you just couldn't wait.

From the window, the sunlight comes in. So I sneak outside to play as you sleep. Life is easy if you don't feel trapped in. This is the last thing I want to do. I can't imagine life beyond this. You close the window so the rain won't come in. The draft is cold out here. Won't you let me in? I sit down dripping and waiting for you. This is the last thing I want to do. I can't imagine life beyond this.
