sellout
i wear it so well,
no one else can tell
what is inside
once i was a servent,
once i was a sucker
i was such a sellout
but i don't want to tell you twice
but were you lost or were you found?
and do you know just where you're going?
was it something i said
that it went to your head
that you can't buy
cause i'll teach you right
i'll teach you right
get into the light it'll be so nice
it'll be so kind
cause i'll teach you right
i'll teach you right
you know everything
and everything's a lie
until it's proven true by you
but can you escape
the passions moving out of place
and turning your world upside down
cause i don't want to point the blame
so come out from your prideful game
and take my hand and come inside now
will you ever learn
the ways of the world
will you ever learn
the ways of the world
cause i want to win your heart
and take you to another place
you never thought or could dream of
and i don't want to point the blame
so come out from your prideful game
and take my hand and come inside now
over it
i know what you're thinking
i know where you're going
and i know what you're doing now
i know all the things that
oh yeah you used to tell me
i know you're telling her right now
and all the times you held my hand
i'm so over it
and i'm so over it
and i'm so over you
now it's over (so over, so over)
yeah now that it's over (so over, so over)
yeah now that it's over (so over, so over)
yeah now that it's over
i know what you're thinking
i know just what you think of me
and i know you think of someone else
i know all the reasons
you think i can't get over it
well maybe you only fool yourself
and all the times i held my breath
i'm so over it
and i'm so over it
and i'm so over you
and all the times you held my hand
i'm so over it
and all the times you told me that
you like the way i laugh
and all the things we used to do
i'm so over it
and i'm so over it
i'm so over you
i'm all eyes
no one ever has to be alone
if i got you in my door
i wouldn't be so bored
and hiding all my thoughts wouldn't be too wise
cause you would never know
you would never know that
i'm all eyes
when you come around
will you ever be mine
mine all mine
please be mine
once upon a time i caught your eye
but i was much too shy
i was terrified
but happy ever after is in my mind
will you be mine
will you be mine 'cuz
no one ever has to be alone
just like you
i'm cynical
always available
waiting for my number to be called
i'm skeptical
i can't control it
don't know if i ever will get caught
i don't need someone to tell me who i am
i don't need a lot of words
to help me understand
that i'm just like you only better
i'm hesitant
call the president
and maybe he will say a prayer for me
i'm a hypocrite
i can't afford it
consequences are expensive friends
i'll never let you down
cuz i'll never be around
long enough for you to see inside of me
and i'll never hurt you baby
and i'll never tell you lies
i'll only tell myself what i want to believe
anything for you
wish i knew how to be the color blue
cause it hangs around when no one else can comfort you
if you want to be alone then just say so
'cause the power is yours because you took my heart
and you have my soul and there's
something special something great in this exchange
and do you know that
i would do anything for you
i would do anything for you
you know i would yeah
you know i would yeah
you know i would yeah
i would do it all for you
summertime burned burned a hole inside your heart
and winter's bite froze the feelings deep inside
but i know there's something there that you can't hide
it sparkles brightly forth,
expands the sky and it blows my mind
and do you feel it?
do you feel the way i do?
and do you know that
when i first knew that love could be true
it raised me up from being sick and blue
and you'll find, you'll see,
you're fine, you'll change your mind,
when life gets you down i'l be right by your side cause
milwaukee
i met you in milwaukee
in between the heat and rain
i hoped that you would talk to me
i hoped that you would feel the same
i made my way to you
to my surprise
my heart stopped and all i felt
were butterflies
it's alright now you're gone
it's alright you were wrong
it's alright i'm growing up and my life goes on
we drove to cincinnati
and wednesday on to tennessee
we sang until the morning
and nashville is where you kissed me
but i was subconciously too naive
you'd make your way to her when i would leave
you broke my heart into a million little pieces
i have no feelings left for you to kill
it's alright i don't care
it's alright i'm not scared
it's alright i'm doing fine and my life goes on
oh yeah
oh yeah
run away
you never notice me
but you've got a lot to see
i know just the thing you want or need
a love that lasts beyond the years
i won't let you down
i won't leave you alone at night
or alone by day
cause i don't want to be
i don't want to be alone
no no no
i don't want to go
i don't want to go it alone
everytime i see you
i can't find the words i want to say
i just want to turn and run away
and i can't find the time or place
to say what i need to say
cause i just want to turn and run away
i just want to run
i wish the sweetest eyes
would fall on me tonight
i want to steal your heart
i want to make it mine
and leave this all behind
and leave a legend of a love
i want to be the girl you need
when you're lost at sea
or do you want to be
do you want to be alone?
no no no
do you want to go
do you want to go it alone
nice guys
i've never felt this way about anyone
no not anyone
now i'm on my way
i've never been this close around anyone
no not anyone
who makes me feel this way
when you're near my heart beats a thousand miles an hour
you gotta know, you gotta know
don't wrap me up in your candy coated flowers
cuz i gotta know, i gotta know
nice guys wait
nice guys wait
nice guys wait way too long
i've never felt so good anything
about everything
boy you've got me good
i guess you always knew
and you always kept your cool
but now i'm feeling a little tired
now my heart it bleeds a thousand times an hour
you gotta go, you gotta go
the time i waited for you has turned from sweet to sour
to let me know, to let me know
you know the nice guys wait too long
you were always what i wanted
i don't know what i want now
you should have run to get me
i gave you all the chances
star crazy big eyed glances
you sure, you sure wasted time
don't let me down
here we are again
back to the place where we began
i went and need you to remember
(you said you'd remember)
where did we go wrong
forget the things that matter most
we all know it's part of the plan
if today was your last day to live
could you tell me what you would do with it?
motivate the situation
comprehend my intuition
understand the bigger plan
and lift me up but
don't let me down
don't let me down
don't let me down
don't let me down
here i am again
alone and then
it's so hard to remember
all the words you said
and which ones i should forget
if today was my last day to live
can i tell you my final request?
disappear
renegade speeds liberate me
the asphalt melts
my blood is seething
lets go
the road has called and i must follow
come with me and break the cycle
let's go
let's take a ride
and put the car in overdrive
and disappear
go far away
where no one has a thing to say
about our lives
spinning wheels are spinning freely
leave the suburbs
for the city lights are calling us in
and speed so fast we'll get so dizzy
and celebrate our new beginning
three two one and go
selfish
my thoughts are so clear
i can't take back the times when we were so free
it's like a dream to me but never would i see
you and me in the troubles of this year
you and me in the troubles of this year
you're so selfish and stubborn about it
and i'll never understand why you never went away
selfish and stubborn about it
and i'll never understand why you never went away
yeah yeah
so here we are you and i
face to face and there is nowhere to hide
pick up your guitar and play me
another song another song
you messed up in so many ways
i don't think you'll understand me
you messed up in so many ways
you're losing me
(yeah yeah)
you want me
can't get me
you want me
can't get me
you want me
can't get me
you want me
can't get me
unsaid goodbyes
wasn't such a bad time for us
cause we were young
i think about the good times
driving under moonlight
low tides and lullabyes
do you remember it too
and i was on the telephone
telling you to come home and settle the score
didn't i try and tell you of passing time
and unsaid goodbyes
sitting in the back seat of life
joy ride
we know we couldn't get bored
following our dreams down the path of life
and we don't know
what do we do when we get there
and i was on the seventh floor
shouting at the window let's settle the score
didn't i try and tell you of passing time
and unsaid goodbyes
and i was on the telephone
telling you i'll be home to settle the score
didn't i try and tell you of passing time
and unsaid goodbyes
goodbyes
goodbye
