It turns me inside out
That I finally found something here right in front of me
And though I was just too afraid to stand it oh,
It feels like forward motions has ceased and I’m falling back
Hey! What I want may be strange
Still I need a part of you
Though it might seem like the truth
I can’t help but feel that I’m won over by a trap
I know I should learn to trust, even though the past has taught me better
Perhaps I should let go of this tension in my chest
Cuz if I did I would float, freely up among the clouds
Hey! What I want may be strange
Still I need a part of you too
Though it might seem like the truth
I can’t help but feel that I’m won over by a trap
Now I hate when I find I’m wrong,
But now I’ve got to revise the lyrics of this song
And I hate to think that I should trust my fears
When I deserve the truth after all of these years
Hey! What I want may be strange
Still I needed a part of you too
Thought it had seemed like the truth
I can’t help but see that I’m won over by your,
I’m won over by your,
I’m won over by your trap.

What is that you say?
01:50

Hey, what is that you say,
Is it that you never needed
All the things, all the things that I do best and
Hey, what is that you need,
Is it that you never needed
Me to be all the things I said I couldn’t be
But then he says that,
“I need to feel the light,
I need to hear it loudly
And be proud, and
I want to know the truth
I want to hear it loudly,
And be proud”
He walks around the yard,
Thinking about the times
He would stand there simply looking at the stars, while
She wonders just if he
Could learn to recognize
Her for what she’s worth and not simply what she could be
And then she says that,
“I need to feel the light,
I need to hear it loudly,
And be proud, and
I want to know the truth
I want to hear it loudly
And be proud”

F'n'B
02:58
|

|
We can peer into the house through a vortex of a window
His hands quake gently, as he screams
He’s trying to argue his case, but the Stern looks on their faces
Remind him that it’s futile
And he screams, screams,
F’n’B!
And he screams, screams
F’n’B
And he screams, screams
F’n’B
Why is it that you don’t
Trust me?
He comes out to say, “Guys I’ll be there in a minute”
He turns back around, then changes his mind
“Hey man, can you just tell her where it is we’re going”
But something inside of him snaps
And he screams, screams,
F’n’B!
And he screams, screams
F’n’B
And he screams, screams
F’n’B
Why is it that you can’t
Believe me?
And he screams, screams,
F’n’B!
And he screams, screams
F’n’B
And he screams, screams
F’n’B
Why is it that you can’t
Let me be?

She wanted just to see his reactions to everything
He looked into a mirror and saw her staring right back at him
But what he has forgotten
Is the change that takes place, when
No….
She….
Learns how to gauge his reactions
To everything
Oh, she follows him just around the corner
Like his shadow
She wanted just to make him love her
So she could not let him go
But what she has forgotten
Is the change that takes place, when
No…
She…
Learns how to gauge his reactions
To everything

Walk in the Rain
03:26
|

|
I take a walk, out into the rain
Something’s wrong with us, but I can’t explain it
So it seems to me, that what we’re saving isn’t worth the while
So tell me what to say
Reach out and lead they way
Just don’t tell me how to feel
Because I swear I know how to feel
I finally make it to your front door
But by the time I’ve made it there, I’ve forgotten what I had been angry for
And so it seems to me, that what we’re saving might be worth the while
So tell me what to say
Reach out and lead they way
Just don’t tell me how to feel
Because I swear I know how to feel
Reach out and tell me what to be
Because I’ll follow where you lead
And I’ll bend right down to your will
Because I think that’s what you want of me
I wanted it to snow on Valentine’s Day
But instead it decided, oh, it decided to rain

Ready to Disguise
02:40
|
|||
|
Oooh, stop telling everyone inside this place that I’m cold
Oooh, I need to feel your face to save your grace and be bold
But the times are changing
And my time is wasting
I am ready to disguise
I can’t reach out
I can’t hide now
I’m lost in a maze in your eyes
I am here and trying to disguise
…my love
Oooh, stop breathing ‘round here to see the way that it goes
Oooh, I wanted just to see how bored you’d get till you’d fold
But my heart is fading
And my heart is breaking
I am ready to disguise
I can’t reach out
I can’t hide now
I’m lost in a maze in your eyes
I am here and trying to disguise
…my love…my love I’m trying to hide…from your eyes.
…my love.

Doubt
03:00
|
|||
|
What was a secret now swallows me whole
Knowing a truth, knowing a lie
That burrows into my soul
Never shall I come as close to you as her
We can’t compromise ourselves
Maybe we have more lies to tell
But now I have my turn
Yet do I truly have a hold
How can I win
Against nostalgia’s sexy whims?
I need to free my soul
From the toxic energy it knows
Wondering if I’m second place
In night does he dream of her face
Not mine and my sweet button nose
If distance only makes love grow
And she’s the one who left
You’ll let her be the one that got away
While I’m the one here sitting beside you
So…prove to me that I’m the one you love
Or else I’ll see
That I should make sure to leave
Tell me that you love me.
See I’m filled with doubt and it swallows me whole.
