Threw you the obvious And you flew with it on your back A name in your recollection Down among a million, say: Difficult enough to feel a little bit Disappointed, passed over. When I've looked right through, To see you naked and oblivious and you don't see me
Well I threw you the obvious, Just to see if there's more behind the Eyes of a fallen angel, Eyes of a tragedy.
Here I am expecting just a little bit Too much from the wounded But I see, See through it all, See through, And see you.
So I threw you the obvious Do you see what occurs behind the Eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy
Well, oh well..
Apparently nothing. Apparently nothing at all.
You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't see me at all
I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take, this is goodbye
Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away
Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul
Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away
At times the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way
Out at the train tracks I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late
And I can't take the staring And the sympathy And I don't like the questions "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" and "Do you wanna talk about it?"
Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish
And I'm trying to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years, or maybe a week Burn all your pictures, and cut out your face
The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car
Trying to forget even your name and the way that you look When you're sleeping Dreaming of this
You lived a time of lies until you told me everything I hope we make amends, but you don't Life taught you how to fly and then you flew away from me You left me haunted, star the ending image of the one
'Cuz they're still in you too low All the voices you don't know And they're still in you too low All the choices that you chose (Make the voices tell me who you are and who I am to be)
You harbored all the wasted sighs to define the quiet drone I'll let you start again, but you won't I saw you pray for change and then you walked all over me You wanted what you could not have and now you are alone
Are you alone where you are tonight? I'm alone when you're right here But I'm still in you somehow I never left at all Now I'm stealing you too low So my voice is all you know
'Cuz they're still in you too low All the voices we don't know And they're still in you too low All the choices that you chose Leave you nothing left to hold
When you're nothing it's a good time to remind you of one thing The pursuit begins when this portrayal of life...ends
Was I left behind? Someone tell me, tell me I survived. Don't look so surprised that I'm home, but just for tonight. With rough hands and sore eyes so don't speak, I am tired. Let's just live through this lie.
She says I swear too much, she says a lot of things, well I'd swear every other word if I could for her I'll make an attempt.
Sometimes love isn't about how much someone suits you but how much you're willing to change to suit them.
All my bones are dust, (Two people too damaged too much too late) and my heart's sealed with rust. (Two people too damaged too much too late) These hands will always be rough. (Two people too damaged too much too late) I know this won't count for much. (Two people too damaged too much too late)
One day my hands were too soft, one day she said, "I'm tired". one day her clothes were on my floor, one day, empty bottles.
Well I'm not saying she's my last. I'm just saying that she could have been, it doesn't matter how rough these hands get. It doesn't matter cause I'm not her man.
All my bones are dust, (rough hands, rough days) (Two people too damaged too much too late) and my heart's sealed with rust. (rough hands, rough season) (Two people too damaged too much too late) These hands will always be rough. (rough hands, rough days) (Two people too damaged too much too late) I know this won't count for much. (rough hands, rough season) (Two people too damaged too much too late)
