Music - text of songs

I hear this old story before
If people keep appealing for the metaphors
Don’t leave much up to the imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery back
No it just aint so easy like that
so, I turn the page and read the story again
and again and again
It just seems the same, with a diff. name
We’re breaking every building
and we’re growing
always guessing

Never knowing
Shocking but we’re nothing
we’re just moments
We’re Clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human
Amusing but confusing
Were trying but where is this all leading
Never Know

It all happened so much faster
than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time lapse
and look at it backwards
From the last one
and maybe thats just the answer
that we’re after
but after all
we’re just a bubble in a boiling pot
just one breath in a chain of thought
the moments just combusting
feel certain but we’ll never never know
just seems the same
give it a diff. name
We’re beggin and we’re needing
and we’re trying and we’re breathing

Never knowing
Shocking but we’re nothing
we’re just moments
We’re Clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human
Amusing but confusing
Helping, we’re building
and we’re growing
Never Know

Knock knock on the door to door
tell ya that the metaphor is better than yours
and you can either sink or swim
things are looking pretty grim
If you dont believe in what this one feeding
Its got no feeling
So I read it again
and again and again
Just seems the same
so many different names
our hearts are strong our heads are weak
We’ll always be competing never knowing

Never knowing
Shocking but we’re nothing
we’re just moments
We’re Clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human
Amusing but confusing
But the truth is
all we got is questions
We’ll Never Know
Never Know
Never Know

Well Cant you see that its just raining
aint no need to go outside…
But Baby, You hardly even notice
when I try to show you this
song is meant to keep ya
from doing what your supposed to
waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
making banana pancakes
pretend like its the weekend now

And we can pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
there aint no need to go outside

Just maybe, laka ukalele
mama made a baby
Really dont mind the practice
cause your my little lady
lady lady love me
cause I love to lay here lazy
we could close the curtains
pretend like there’s no world outside

And we can pretend it all the time
and Cant you see that its just raining
aint no need to go outside
aint no need aint no need Mmmm MMmmm
Cant you see cant you see
rain all day
and I dont mind.

But the telephone singing
ringing its too early
don’t pick it up
we don’t need to we got everything
we need right here
and everything we need is enough
just so easy
when the whole world fits inside of your arms
don’t really need to pay attention to the alarm
wake up slow,mmm mmm wake up slow
But baby You hardly even notice
when I try to show you this
song is meant to keep ya
from doing what your supposed to
waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
making banana pancakes
pretend like its the weekend now

And we can pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
aint no need to go outside
aint no need aint no need
rain all day and
i really really really don’t mind
Cant you see cant you see,
you gotta wake up slow

When your mind is a mess
so is mine
I cant sleep
cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren’t at peace
with the plans that we make
chances we take
they’re, not yours and not mine
there’s waves that can break
all the words that we said
and the words that we mean
words can fall short
can’t see the unseen
cause the world is awake
for somebody’s sake now, please close your eyes woman
please get some sleep

And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you’d
know all the things that i’d know
we told each other, there is no other way

Well too much silence can be misleading
You’re drifting I can hear it in the way that your breathing
We don’t really need to find reason
Cause out the same door that it came well its leaving its leaving
Leaving like a day that’s done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept that’s as dead as the leaves
But at least we can sleep, its all that we need
When we wake we will find
Our minds will be free to go to sleep

And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you’d
know all the things that i’d know
we told each other, there is no other way

I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you’d see the signs.

Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain’t the lord I’m just a fool
And in love with somebody don’t make them love you.

Chorus
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool.

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends, all a chance
Putting up with them wasn’t worth never having you

Oh, maybe you’ve been through this before
But it’s my first time, so please ignore
The next few lines, cause they’re directed at you.

Chorus
I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool.

Bridge
I keep playing your part
But it’s not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I’ve had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I’m already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I’d put down all my ammunition
I’d wonder why it had taken me so long

But Lord knows that I’m not you
and if I was I wouldn’t be so cruel
cause waitin’ on love ain’t so easy to do

Repeat Chorus
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
No I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool, fool

Its really
too bad
he became a prisoner of his own past
he stabbed a moment in the back
with a brown thumb tack
that held up the list of things he gotta do
Its really,
no good
he’s moving on before he understood
he shot the future in the foot with every step it took
from the faces that he knew cause he forgot to look

Better staple it together and call it bad weather
staple it together and call it bad weather X3
mm hmm

well I guess you could say
that he dont even know where to begin
cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
diggin deeper through the ditch
with every chance he missed
and the mess he made
cause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid
a mistake they say
That his walls are getting taller
his world is getting smaller

Better staple it together and call it bad weather
staple it together and call it bad weather X3
mm hmm

whoo

its really
too bad
he became a prisoner of his own past
he stabbed a moment in the back
with a brown thumb tack
that held up the list of things he gotta do
Its really,
no good
hes moving on before he understood
he shot the future in the foot with every step it took
from the faces that he knew cause he forgot to look

Better staple it together and call it bad weather
staple it together and call it bad weather X3

If the weather is better
we should get together
Spend a little time and we can do whatever
and if we get together we’ll be twice as clever
So, staple it together and call it bad weather, mm hmmm

Situation number one:
It’s the one that’s just begun,
But evidently it’s too late.
Situation number two:
It’s the only chance for you;
It’s controlled by denizens of hate.
Situation number three:
It’s the one that no one sees;
It’s all too often dismissed as fate.
Situation number four:
The one that left you wanting more,
It tantalized you with its bait.

It’s such a tired game
Will it ever stop?
How will this all play out
Out of sight out of MIND

By now we should know how to communicate
Instead of coming to blows, We’re on a roll
And there ain’t no stopping us now
We’re burning under control
Isn’t it strange how we’re all
Burning under the same sun?

Buy now and save, it’s a war for peace
It’s the same old game
But do we really want to play?
We could close our eyes it’s still there

We could say it’s us agaisnt them
We could try but nobody wins

Gravity has got al hold on us all
We could try to put it out

But it’s a glowing flame
Using fear as fuel
Burning down our name
And it won’t take too long
Words all burn the same
And who are we going to blame now?

It’s such a crying, crying, crying shame (rp 3x)

But now it’s beginning to show
A number of people are numbers that ain’t coming home
I could close my eyes it’s still there
Close my mind be alone
I could close my heart and not care
But gravity has got a hold on us all

It’s a terrific price to pay
But in the true sense of the word
Are we using what we’ve learned?
In the true sense of the word
Are we losing what we were?

It’s such a tired game
Will it ever stop?
It’s not for me to say
Is it in our blood
Or is it in our fate?
And how will this all play out
Out of sight, out of mind
Who are we going to blame all in all?

It’s such a crying, crying, crying shame (rp 3x)

A brand new baby was born yesterday,
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said, your tears are like mine
I heard some words
from a friend on the phone,
didn’t sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I’d give him more if I could

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

Down the middle drops one more
grain of sand
They say that
new life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
they help ease the mind
I miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
we’ll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

I hope this old train breaks down
then I could take a walk around
and, see what there is to see
time is just a melody
With all the people in the street
walking as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
Well the frame im looking through
seems to have no concern for me now
so for now I

I need this here
old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown

Well this engine screams out loud
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
so I dont even make a sound
Because its gunna sting me when I leave this town
And all the people in the street
that i’ll never get to meet
if these tracks dont bend somehow
and I got no time
that I got to get to
where I dont need to be
So I

I need this here
old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown

I need this here
old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown

I want to break on down
but I cant stop now
let me break on down

But you cant stop nothing
if you got no control
of the thoughts in your mind
that you kept and you know
that you dont know nothing
but you dont need to know
the wisdoms in the trees
not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you dont let go
of the things that you find
and you lose, and you know
you keep on rolling
put the moment on hold
because the frames too bright
so put the blinds down low

I need this here
old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown
I need this here
old train to breakdown
oh please just
let me please breakdown
I got to break on down
but I cant stop now

Do you remember when we first met? I sure do
It was some time in early September
You were lazy about it, you made me wait around
I was so crazy about you, I didn’t mind

So I was late for class, I locked my bike to yours
It wasn’t hard to find, you painted flowers on
I guess that I was afraid that if you rolled away
You might not roll back my direction real soon

But I was crazy about you then and now
The craziest thing of all, over ten years have gone by
And you’re still mine, we’re locked in time
Let’s rewind

Do you remember when we first moved in together?
The piano took up the living room
You played me boogie-woogie I played you love songs
You’d say we’re playing house now you still say we are

We built our getaway up in a tree we found
We felt so far away but we were still in town
Now I remember watching that old tree burn down
I took a picture that I don’t like to look at

Well all those times they come and go
And alone don’t seem so long
Over ten years have gone by
We can’t rewind, we’re locked in time
But you’re still mine
Do you remember?
