Soft spoken with a broken jaw

Step outside but not to brawl

Autumn's sweet we call it fall

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

You tell me that you love me so,

You tell me that you care,

But when I need you, (BABY)

Baby, (You're never there), 

On the phone,

Long long distance,

Always through such,

I want a girl with the right allocations

Who's fast and thorough

And sharp as a tack

She's playing with her jewelry

She's putting up her hair

She's touring the facility

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes, the flags go up.

Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.

They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,

Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.

Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.

Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.

The fans get up and they get out of town.

The arena is empty except for one man,

Still driving and striving as fast as he can.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,

And long ago somebody left with the cup.

But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.

But there are so many things I hold beyond their reach

The doom you promised me may come, I'm not afraid

You cannot save me

I am the counterweight

And I cannot guess what we'll discover

When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels

But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street 

We would walk on the beach in our bare feet

We were both 18 and it felt so right

Sleeping all day, staying up all night

Think about the chance I never had to say

Thank you for giving up your life that day

Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out

Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring it down alive

And you still came back for me

I think I'm breaking out

I'm gonna leave you now

There's nothing for me here, it's all the same

And even though I know 

That everything might go

Dear Ophelia, I love you dear, 

I’m sorry that I haven’t been here. 

Dear Ophelia, you know I’m hurt, 

Let me go

I don't wanna be your hero

I don't wanna be a big man

Just wanna fight with everyone else

Your masquerade

I don't wanna be a part of your parade

Everyone deserves a chance to

Walk with everyone else

While holding down

A job to keep my girl around

And maybe buy me some new strings

Robert's got a quick hand.

He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.

He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid.

Yeah, he found a six shooter gun in his dad's closet hidden with a box of fun things.

Baptized with a perfect name

The doubting one by heart

Alone without himself

War between him and the day

Need someone to blame

In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see?
