"Is This It"
Can't you see I'm trying?
I don't even like it. I just lied to
Get to your apartment, now I'm staying
Here just for a while
I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this... it?
Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted
When they lied, I knew it was just stable children
Trying hard not to realize I was sitting right
behind them
Oh dear, can't you see? It's them it's not me
We're not enemies; We just disagree
If I was like them all pissed in this bar
He changes his mind, says I went too far
We all disagree
I think we should disagree, yeah
Is this it
Is this it
Is this it
Can't you see I'm trying?
I don't even like it. I just lied to
Get to your apartment, now I'm staying
Here just for a while
I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired
Can't you see I'm trying?
I don't even like it. I just lied to
Get to your apartment, now I'm staying
Here just for a while
I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired
Is this it?

"Barely Legal"
I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me, my life, it don't make sense
Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"
I should've worked much harder
I should've just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
Something that you learned yesterday
"Drive you to work; you'll be on time
These little problems they're not yours and mine,"
"Come on and listen to what I say
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"
I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted, but...
I want it all
I just can't figure out...
Nothing
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"
"They ordered me to make mistakes"
Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
For the record it's between you and I
Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it just don't make any sense
Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"
I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...
I want it all
I just can't figure out...
Nothin'
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
And for the record, it's between you and I
I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, Momma running out of luck

"Alone Together"
No choice now, it's too late
Let him go, he gave up
I gave up
Lisa says, "Take time for me"
Dropping him down to his knees
Ah, chest down...
Take me away
See I've got to explain
Things, they have changed
In such a permanent way
Life seems unreal
Can we go back to your place?
Oh, "You drink too much"
Makes me drink just the same
People tried. Felt so right
Giving themselves good advice
Looking down sometimes felt nice...
He knows it's justified to kill to survive
He then in dollars makes more dead than alive
Let's suck more blood, let's run three hours a
day
The world is over but I don't care
'Cause
I am with you
Now I've got to explain
Things, they have changed
In such a permanent way
Life seems unreal
Can we go back to your place?
"You drink too much"
Makes me drink just the same
The first time, it happened too fast
The second time, I thought it would last
We all like it a little different...

"Someday"
In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises, they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes
Oh, My-ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday...
No, I ain't wastin' no more time
And now my fears
They come to me in threes
So, I
Sometimes
Say, "Fate my friend,
You say the strangest things
I find, sometimes"
Oh, My-ex says I'm lacking in depth
Say I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday...

"Last Nite"
Last night she said,
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
Oh it turns me off,
When I feel left out."
So I, I turn 'round,
"Oh, baby, don't care no more.
I know this for sure,
I'm walkin' out that door."
Well, I've been in town for just about fifteen
minutes now
And baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walkin' for miles
See, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night she said,
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out."
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright."
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night, yeah
Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they don't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night she said,
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
See, it turns me off,
When I feel left out."
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, little girl, I don't care no more.
I know this for sure,
I'm walking out that door," yeah
Last night she said,
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
Oh it turns me off,
When I feel left out."

"Hard To Explain"
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
"You're right it's true"
Says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina, she says:
" I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way

"New York City Cops"
Oh! I meant - Ah!
No, I didn't mean that at all
Here in the streets of American nights
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules, and I want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fuckin' strange
Nina's in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leavin' it ain't easy
I've got to let go
Oh, I've got to let go
And the hours they went to slow
I said every night
She just can't stop sayin':
"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart"
Just kill me now 'cause I'll let you down
I swear one day we're gonna leave this town
"Stop"
Yes, I'm leaving 'cause this just won't work
They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks
Soft time in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
But...hey
Nina's in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leaving it ain't easy
Oh, I've got to let go
I've got to let go
Oh, trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter,:
"I've got to come clean
The authorities, they've seen
Darling, I'm somewhere in between"
I said every night
She just can't stop sayin':
"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart"

"When It Started"
Won't decide, but he won't debate
Said, "Thanks my friend," but he was too late
Oh why, oh why
I don't know
So you think things move pretty fast down here
Well just wait my dear 'till you look up there
Oh maybe someday you'll know
Had his second kid, was an early night
Got to be well dressed 'cause he hates to fly
Oh loves his job, takes it home
Anything they wanted
They could have it, have it
Didn't even notice
I don't mind it, mind it
Won't decide, but he won't debate
Said, "Thanks my friend, thought that we was
dead"
Oh why, oh why
I don't know
Think things move pretty fast down here
But just wait my dear 'till we get up there
Oh maybe someday they'll know
Come on tell me does she warm the room
When he comes
Or does he just know how to leave
When it gets cold
Well I don't care, I don't care
'Cause it's free
Won't decide, but he won't debate
Said, "Thanks my friend," but he was too late
Oh why, oh why
I don't know
So you think things move pretty fast down here
Well just wait my dear 'till you look up there

"Trying Your Luck"
You said you couldn't stay
You've seen it all before
I know
They sold you on their way
Oh, honey, that's OK
No harm, he's armed
Setting off all your alarms
When I find out
I hope it's you who set this trap
And storefronts rarely changed
At least I'm on my own again
Instead of anywhere with you
But, to me, it's all the same
And I lost my page. Again
I know this is surreal
But, I'll try my luck with you
This life is on my side
Well, I am your one?
"Believe me, this is a chance," oh oh
Let's see what's for sale
He's trying hard to give his job a chance
Oh, it's never gonna be
It's sad, but I agree
The signals don't seem right
They last for just one night, and then
I'm sorry that I said:
"That we were just good friends"
No harm, he's armed
Setting off all your alarms
They're trapped
I can't be there in time
I'll think about that
And I lost my page again
I know this is surreal
But, I'll try my luck with you
This life is on my side

"Take It Or Leave It"
Leave me alone
I'm in control
I'm in control
And girls lie too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough

[Verse 1]
They found our city under the water
Gotta get my hands on something new
You don't want to be without this
Something isn't adding up
[Hook]
Decide my past
Define my life
Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why
Someone
Didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's
name
They found our city under the water
I began to listen to your eyes
You don't want to live without it
Even others, they'd abide

Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why
I don't listen
And I don't speak
Well, it's a talent
I don't know why

"All The Time"
Those that try anything once
Should we care about the only ones?
All the time that I need is never quite enough
All the time that I have is all that's necessary
You're livin' a lie
You're livin' a lie
You're living too fast
You gotta pray for the best
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're living a lie
Baby you're flying too high
No one talks, about the war
On my block, or by the shore
All alone in a room
Do you want what I want too?
All the time in the world
Is all that's necessary
You're livin' a lie
You're livin' a lie
You're living too fast
You gotta pray for the best
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're living a lie
Baby you're flying too high
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're livin' a lie
Baby you're flying too high
Don't get on the phone
Don't reach for the door
You know the answer that you're looking for
You're livin' a lie
You're livin' a lie
You're living too fast
You gotta pray for the best
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're livin' a lie
Baby you're flying too high
Those that try anything once
Should we care about the only ones?
All the time that I need is never quite enough
All the time that I have is all that's necessary
You're livin' a lie
You're livin' a lie
You're living too fast
You gotta pray for the best
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're living a lie
Baby you're flying too high
No one talks, about the war
On my block, or by the shore
All alone in a room
Do you want what I want too?
All the time in the world
Is all that's necessary
You're livin' a lie
You're livin' a lie
You're living too fast
You gotta pray for the best
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're living a lie
Baby you're flying too high
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're livin' a lie
Baby you're flying too high
Don't get on the phone
Don't reach for the door
You know the answer that you're looking for
You're livin' a lie
You're livin' a lie
You're living too fast
You gotta pray for the best
You never ask why
You never ask why
You're livin' a lie
Baby you're flying too high
"One Way Trigger"
Get dressed in your bed
While she's asleep
It isn't right
But it isn't hard
Tell me, tell me won't you understand
Show me, show me, show me a better plan
It's summer lies
It's someone else's nothing
Here it comes now
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave
Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down
Out of town
Find a dream
Shut it down
Please, please don't point it that way
It's just a trigger that goes once
And you'll be unafraid
I wish that I'd been noticed, but it never goes
that way
The silence that you brought has gone, gone,
gone
Tell me, tell me, won't you understand?
Show me, show me, show me
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave
Show me what to say
Show me what to be
Show me what to see
Show me what to be
Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down
Out of town
Find a dream
Shut it down
I don't wanna tell you, darling, no
I don't wanna be in bed without your loving either
But I waited for your loss
Can't you wait for all this?
Get dressed in your bed
While she's asleep
It isn't right
But it isn't hard
Tell me, tell me won't you understand
Show me, show me, show me a better plan
It's summer lies
It's someone else's nothing
Here it comes now
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave
Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down

Tell me, tell me, won't you understand?

Can't you wait for all this?
"Welcome To Japan"
If we don't watch the sun
It will rise
If we don't take our time
It's not wise
Putting posters up
For your band (Hey, we're playing ... come by)
Now I'll tear them down
With my hand
I didn't want to notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder
As we're falling over
Oh, welcome to Japan!
Scuba-dancing!
Touchdown!
I didn't want to notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
I didn't want to bore you
Didn't wanna pick up your shit for ya
I've been ready to do this
I'll be there
Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder
As we're falling over
You did it alone
You did it for fun
You did it for everyone who's on the run
You're not just a friend
You'll be born again
We'll be in this race until the very end
He lives on the phone
He cheats on his clone
You'll never believe me 'til you're on your own
Comes in once a month
And he never leaves
He said he is broken
Yet he lives free
Didn't wanna floor ya
I didn't wanna be there for ya
Didn't wanna warn ya
I'll be there
If we don't watch the sun
It will rise
If we don't take our time
It's not wise

[Verse]
It's not the first time
That I've watched you
Passing by
I've tried too hard
To get back there
But, you never try
Anymore
Tried to get in with you
For a second time
You said the world closed down
But, you caught it
Get back inside
[Chorus]
So please
Run away
So please
Run away
[Verse]
I tried to believe in it
For a second try
It's there in the safe
Why don't you
Close the blinds
For the night?
[Chorus]
So please
Run away
So please
Run away
[Instrumental]
So please
Run away
So please
Run away
Run away
So please
Run away
Runaway
[Verse]
It's not the first time
That I've watched you
Passing by
I've tried too hard
To get back there
But, you never try
Anymore
Tried to get in with you

You said the world closed down
But, you caught it
Get back inside
[Chorus]
So please
Run away
So please
Run away

"50/50"
Why's she telling me the story of her life?
All the things you wanna kill will give you spite
And if you've taken all the prisoners inside
As they're doling out their wisdom in the fire
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I can take as long as without looking by
Why's she telling me the story of her life
And if you've taken all the prisoners inside
As they've thrown all their wisdom in the fire
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!

I will say don't judge me!

I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!
"Slow Animals"
You don't have to be so down
Everyone can hear you in this whole damn crowd
You don't have to try so hard
I think they got the message, you were out of
your mind
It's not so good to see you this upset
But the next generation will forget
They're always scared of where their daughter's
been
Cause who knows, she could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about
again
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's wrong
Oh, please don't tell it to my face
Everyone can see that you were circling his space
The next generation will forget
Where their daughter's been
Or who knows, it could be alone with men
They're never gonna let you understand
Or show you what is to be a man
You don't wanna sit down and think or hear
You don't think anyone is in your ear
I never wanna see your face
Accuse - it's no ones fault
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that, that, that it's wrong
Now, they're scared of where their daughter's

I forgot your jacket outdoors
Day's been something
See if I care
One; it's not okayish day, just so [?]
But yes, if you insist
Okay
Oh, alright, I know where tonight
Hey there, how goes it?
Any time they're closing?
Might need a lawyer
Let's all be honest
Where there's a forest
We don't belong
Pleased to get who's standing around
Life forgives you when you rebound
See, what friends locked up at the zoo
Why aren't we leaving town right now?
Oh, alright, I know where tonight
I'm on the guestlist
We got the door, but
Can't seem to find it
Pants on a tiger
Winter is white and
I won't be here buzzing
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well, leaving your tears alone
Run down your face
And escapes
Hey there, how goes it?
Any time they're closing?
You'll need a lawyer
Let's all be honest
We're in a forest
We don't belong
I'm on the guestlist
No need to welcome
Can't seem to find it
March to the war drum
Tigers have pants on
We have no gun
Thank you for staying
What are you saying?
I won't forget
I forgot your jacket outdoors
Day's been something
See if I care
One; it's not okayish day, just so [?]
But yes, if you insist
Okay
Oh, alright, I know where tonight
Hey there, how goes it?

"Chances"
I waited for ya
I waited for ya
I waited on ya
But now I don't
You didn't see it
I didn't see it
I didn't see it
But now, oh, I do
I play your game
I play your game
Now
I play your game
I play your game
I take my chances alone
Get on your horse and be gone
I will not wait up for you anymore
So you can ask me if something is wrong
Will you go?
I don't know anymore
When the night isn't ready for you
It's a feeling I know that dogs you
They invited a stewardess, too
Now they want you to see it
Here's to days he decides he's got time
And he claims that it's not a surprise
When he finds out the truth's on his side
I take my chances alone
Get on your horse and be gone
I will not wait up for you anymore
So you can ask me if something is wrong
Will you go?
I don't know anymore
I don't believe anyone
As they crawl out of my way
Waiting for the night
Leaving night by night
You can see me travel
We could be in trouble every night
We're having a new life
"Happy Ending"
Say it all
Just get it all off your chest
Shake it up

Come all ages
Baby, show me where to go
Somethings I don't wanna know
Baby, tell me if you're sure
Out all the time
Say it all
I'm not awake anymore
Change my mind
2000 times before
Seen a knight
Dance on the side of the road
Teenage angst
Come all ages
Baby, show me where to go
Some things I don't wanna know
Baby, tell me if you're sure
Out all the time
Feeling dizzy now
In the running show
All I want to see
All I want to know
Watch you as you stay
Faces at your door
Waiting for your piece
Pull the trigger please
Baby, show me where to go
Somethings I don't wanna know
Baby, tell me if you're sure
Out all the time
Cause I don't wanna see everybody get together
Leave these dreams alone
You don't wanna have to tell me that I wanted
you go
Everybody needs a shadow, oh
Say it all
Just get it all off your chest
Shake it up
500000 times
Say no more
We don't believe anything

Come all ages
Baby, show me where to go

[Verse 1:]
Close the door
Not all the way
He don’t understand
We don’t understand
So don’t you wanna remind me
I don’t know a thing
And some of us remember
And some run out of place
[Chorus:]
Can I waste all your time here on the sidewalk?
Can I stand in your light just for a while?
I’ve waited around and oh no, you are are not
around
I made up more time watchin’ you
[Verse 2:]
You got it down now, don’t you?
I wanted to understand your face
So don’t you wanna remind me
I don’t know a thing
And some of us remember
And some run out of place
[Chorus:]
Can I waste all your time here on the sidewalk?
Can I stand in your light just for a while?
I’ve waited around and oh no, you are are not
around
I made up more time watchin’ you
I needed someone
I needed someone
