All Along

I can see that you're alone
I don't feel like this is home
I don't really want to stay
I just don't know what to say
(chorus)
Here we were and here we stood
A vision of our lives done good
A future that we'll never see
Divided by eternity
Here we are and here we come
And if we let it come undone
A future that we'll never know
Our hopes they come, our hopes they come and go
Why must it end up this way?
These things I've tried to keep at bay
It's not, it's not that I don't care
I just feel we're getting nowhere
Chorus x2
I can see that you're alone
Waiting by the telephone
You, you know that I won't call
I think we've known it all along
Chorus

Curious, I Know

Something curious, I know
Stretching out, far and wide
Drifting off from this time and place
Thinking out loud, do you mind
Gotta be somewhere right now
Gotta be somewhere right now
Know what I mean, can't say it right
Gotta be somewhere right now
I'll fill you in on what's what
While filling in all the gaps in my mind
Can't say much more, words won't flow
Lost in the shuffle but I'm doing fine
Gotta be somewhere right now
Gotta be somewhere right now
Know what I mean, can't say it right
Gotta be somewhere right now
Gotta be somewhere right now
Gotta be somewhere right now
I know what it means, can't say it right
Gotta be somewhere right now

Lose Control
02:41
|

Why
Do you try
To keep a hold on me
Anymore
You're
Like a tied up line
Stretching the time
Too long
These are the times that I lose control
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
It grabs deep inside and it just takes hold
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
So why
Why should I be
Forgetting the truth
With you
It's crazy
It's gone too far
Too far to be
Real
These are the times that I lose control
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
It grabs deep inside and it just takes hold
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
These are the times that I lose control
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
It grabs deep inside and it just takes hold
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
These are the times that I lose control
These are the times that I lose control
Lose control
Lose control
I lose control...

Too Damn Cold
04:06
|

Did you try to call my name
I'm too damn cold to hear
Too damn cold to feel the pain
The shame of living here
I'm calling out in my pain
I'm calling out in the freezing rain
I'm calling out, this ain't no game
I'm calling out, it's a shame
A backwards glance and I saw you there
There in the heat of the day
I'm stuck in here like a polar bear
Too damn cold to play
I'm calling out in my pain
I'm calling out in the freezing rain
I'm calling out, this ain't no game
I'm calling out, it's a shame

San Ysidro
04:05
|

I'm down at the beach, shovels, bottles and buckets
Knees sinking slow
Building in the sand a home for ex-lovers
In San Ysidro
Throw ourselves right into the ocean
Cough up on the shore
Spitting out salt and stacking dead soldiers
Waves would come and you would go
Watch everything we make
Wash out with the tide
As the water swallows the sun
Day drowns into night
We could stay here forever
Yeah, but not tonight
Not tonight
Sit at the bar, smokes, peanuts and pool cues
People that I don't know
Greeted again by all those old voices
Nowhere else to go
A memory well growing deeper and darker
Pulling me from below
Pour myself right into the bottom
Make myself at home
Everything we said
Echoes amplified
Thoughts again refused
Stale neon light
You were mine forever
Yeah, but not tonight
Not tonight
