I can't believe I have to say this so many ways
I'm watching these tapes on repeat, day after day
And I don't know know how to fight this with anything but rage
And I never thought the world would look like this
You can listen to a thousand feel-good songs, and still feel like shit
You'll be making up for everyone else's wrongs, and be worse off for it
Waisting all your breath, 'til every emotion's gone
And I never thought real life would look like this
I wanted more from this by now
I deserved more from this by now
But here I am, smiling for the pictures, crying in the car
We're screaming all our lungs out, but fear is leading blind
Hoping the horrible truth would finally change this time
Until another sacred life is savagely left behind
And I don't want my friends to hurt like this
You needed more from this by now
You deserved more from this by now
But here you are, choking on the smoke clouds,
Running for your lives
I'm starting fights with myself
When there's no one else around
And I've lost track of the last time my feet were on the ground
And I've never tried so hard to block out all these sounds
And I never thought that hell would feel like this
We needed more from this by now
We deserved more from this by now
But here we are, trying to be captains
While this ship is going down
And I keep trying to swim for shore
But I'm not too sure what I'm good for anymore
And I keep trying to find the next thing to reach for
But I'm afraid it's already gone
It's already gone

When I'm finally out of debt
When I'm not so damn tired any more
When I've lost all this regret
And I've got something else to look for
Just give me some time
A few months away
Just a hole somewhere to crawl into
And hide from the day
Take me away...
When I've got both feet in the water
And I've got my face in the sun
When there's more vinyl on the player
And I've lost this urge to run
These excuses run circles around themselves
Every lie that I constantly tell myself
Self-improvement is just self-preservation
Now I'll pour myself another drink
When I walk a little taller
And I'm surfing every day
When I don't feel so fucking awkward
And I've finally got something worthwhile to say
Just give me some time
A few months away
Just a place somewhere to hold on to
And keep the darkness at bay
Maybe then I'll be fine
Maybe then I'll feel true
Maybe then I'll be limbo no more
And I'll be ready to find you

It's a funny thing we've got going here, you and me
It's a funny thing what a wordless look can say, you see
If I only knew what you're thinking, how happy we could be
I just wanted to say
It would be alright if you'd stay here with me awhile
It's a funny thing we've got going here, you and me
It's a funny way that you've changed me, but you can't see
If you only knew what I'm thinking, how happy we could be
But I just wanted to say
It would be alright if you'd stay here with me awhile
And I just wanted to say
I'd really love if you'd stay here with me awhile
