You took me in when I was all alone You opened my mind to the unknown I saw a new side to myself Not afraid it all was swell But that wasn’t good enough for you You cracked my heart straight into two Finding pieces to break even more Destroying everything until all I had was a corpse Pushed my love the furthest its ever been Broke my walls - foolishly let you in You told me this would always last Our love would never be masked But that wasn’t good enough for you You cracked my heart straight into two Finding pieces to break even more Destroying everything until all I had was a corpse One day things changed You decided to walk away Left me with nothing Cause I wasn’t good enough for you You cracked my heart straight into two Finding pieces to break even more Destroying everything until all I had was a corpse

Verse: I see some signs I cannot read Lines and arrows I should heed I’m headed out onto the road, Where it leads, I do not know Verse: Take this burden off my back And leave it on this one way track, I had to leave, there was no spark I’ve walked from dust until dark Chorus: I have to go It never ends I walk the road With many bends I’ll go alone, I won’t miss you I’ll walk the road Find something new Verse: I’ve likely walked one or two miles, I think about your pretty smile, You wear your heart on your sleeve, Maybe I was wrong to leave Verse: You’ve helped me through hard times We’ve had our joys, our scenes, our crimes You are everything to me You’re as perfect as can be Chorus: I have to go It never ends I walk the road With many bends I’ll go alone, I might miss you I’ll walk the road Find something new Verse: Thinking bout turning around Missing you has got me down I turn around, and start to stride, I want you back at my side I’m almost back at where you are, You are my love, you are my star I take your hand, and start to walk We are each other’s solid rock Chorus: So come with me And hand in hand You’ll walk with me Across the land We cannot see Around the bend But we both know Road has no end Road has no end

On that fateful day when I left the city When they broke the vase And cast the vote I knew it then The look in their eyes I’d be 10 years gone on the road With no loved ones or place to call home But one day I will come again, back from the dead They’ll look at me and know I’m theirs And they’ll say, “My child, stay for a while.” I’ll know it’s time I’ll know it’s time My time It’s been a hundred days Since I walked the pavement And a hundred more Since I left alone Keep my head held high With no hand to guide So I know I stand on my own And I can’t stop missing my home But one day I will come again, back from the dead They’ll look at me and know I’m theirs And they’ll say, “My child, stay for a while.” I’ll know it’s time I’ll know it’s time My time

I saw you on the train today Couldn’t find anything to say So I’m just sitting here alone Pretending I can check my phone Last night I had a dream I thought That you turned into a robot Does that mean anything to you? I think my eyes are turning blue I don’t know why I talk like this I need a psychoanalyst Your words are everything to me So until then I’m just sorry Sorry for what? I just don’t know I think I’m getting vertigo I feel just like a circus clown Will you catch me if I fall down? I’ll rub my eyes I’ll see clearer See you in every broke mirror Your face is so easy to find Shut up or I might lose my mind I just wanted to let you know I think you’re really cool and so Instead of telling you I’ll be Myself and just say I’m sorry Am I in love with you? Or do I just like the way you looked yesterday? Does it even matter what is true No matter what I do something just makes me stay Maybe I should just give in, let things fall through No, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna tell you anyway, Someday-- I don’t know why I talk like this I need a psychoanalyst Your words are everything to me So until then I’m just sorry Sorry for what? I just don’t know I think I’m getting vertigo I feel just like a circus clown Will you catch me if I fall down?

So I Just Love You Though. And I tried. Took a thousand years each time. But that Night Where I cried. Till the dawn rise. And now that’s gooone. Aw Aw On My Dream Girl, My Dream Girl. Just for me. She's got everything. Cars, Money, Murder And that brand new flo. (ahh) Can’t Believe my Eyes. Perfect Beautiful Sky. And the waves are crashing against The Beach She smiles at me and I hear a shriek My mom has woken me from my dream. Dream. Dream. Dream. Dream. So I Just Love You Though. And I tried. Took a thousand years each time. But that Night Where I cried. Till the dawn rise. And now that’s gooone. Aw Aw On My Dream Girl, My Dream Girl. Just for me.. So Dream Girl Save Me Oh Dream Girl Won’t You Save Me Please Dream Girl Just Save Me You’re my One and Only Love. Please Just Save Me.

We’ll run away since no one can tell Off in the street, I know a motel Slightly sleazy but we’re so cold and sleepy And even if it’s a silly lie we’re living You smell like the sun We’ll live on a roof with cable t.v. There’s only four shirts and two bags of jeans We stare at the past I think we would last In the days we’ve never been in And even if it’s a silly lie we’re living You smell like the sun Go so low we catch the bends Where my shoes at? I guess I’ll crash at my friends Leave us be We’ll just zone at the ceiling Losing our mind to what we may need We will be warm soon Lay on the floor till hits far past noon Heat up some water if I really have to And even if it’s a silly lie we’re living You smell like the sun I’ll be ready to run It’s a silly lie we’re living

He held her while she ached As the world around them begun to quake And every bone inside her seemed to break. So on she would strum Over strings she hopes would numb Their damaged hearts, closed off as he’d become Oh and how she longed to tell That she had fallen for his spell Oh and it broke her heart to say to him farewell But sometimes every word is wrong And in his arms you don't belong So you just hold the one you can’t have in the melody of a song A year ago today The city seemed to fall away And leave only the two of them by the bay But a fantasy was that And soon the world came flooding back And her parents said it's time to pack Now they’re talking on the phone But she feels so goddam alone Regretting that her feelings went unshown but sometimes every word is wrong And in his arms you don't belong So you just hold the one you can’t love in the melody of a song ooooooh, ooooooohhhhh, ooooh Cause sometimes every inch of you is bruised And there’s nothing left to prove But you just hold the one you cant have in the melody of song So you just hold the one you cant love in the melody of song
