Sorry, Babe 03:56
If the love don't make you happy, then what will? If the drugs don't make you happy, then what will? And I tried to explain but you think it's all the same If the love don't make you happy, then what will? Then what will? You used to be my star, but you don't shine anymore You used to be the one i would look to for All your strength and belief, All your guidance and relief But you don't shine no more, not for me No, not for me If the love don't make you happy, then what will? If the drugs don't make you happy, then what will? And i tried to explain, but you think it's all the same If the love don't make you happy, then what will? Then what will? And you said, sorry I've been inside, locked inside for days I was held against my will by my wicked wicked ways I was underneath the sheets waiting for your relief But I did this to myself so I understand If you don't want to save me If the love don't make you happy, then what will? If the drugs don't make you happy then what will? And I tried to explain, but you think it's all the same If the love don't make you happy, then what will? (x2) If the love don't make you happy, If the drugs don't make you happy If nothing makes you happy, I'm sorry babe I'll go away

Limbo 03:12
Darling there's a heavy press on my head, and it's weighing me down tonight And I've got no place to go so if I find you would it be alright? I could climb inside your window so that no one has to know That I'm in to far over my head but I've got space to grow And when I wake up in the morning and it all feels like a dream Then I will try to go about my day and find out what it means To an end, To a place, That I have never been I've always danced alone in this ballroom Until you came and said I don't wanna wait no more I've been dying on this floor I don't wanna wait I've exhausted all my options in what little time I had Hope I never reach a diminished point I've got nothing left To give, To lend, all the stars under my bed They kept me out in space so very long I'd forgotten what I had I don't wanna wait no more I've been dying on this floor I don't wanna wait (x1) I'm stuck in Limbo (x4)

The Lottery 05:04
I’ve always tried but I never won I’m sick of all my chances being slim to none But I won’t give up, it’s not in my blood I won’t accept defeat And I won’t look at the odds as being Far from my favor I don’t think I’ll survive if the luck doesn’t come Sooner than later Well it’s the lottery, it’s all a gamble Make you rich or leave you in shambles (x2) I don’t know if I’ll cry, or if I’ll just faint and fall But I guess it’s none of my worries Because I don’t feel anything at all If karma’s come to catch me Won’t you rip it off like tape If I don’t deserve to win at all Well I guess it’s just my fate Well it’s the lottery, it’s all a gamble Make you rich or leave you in shambles (x2) Well it’s the lottery It’s the lottery and it’s all a gamble (x2) I wanna leave behind my car And forget about the bills ‘cause I’ve never been concerned with paper And I couldn’t care less still Well it’s the lottery, it’s all a gamble Make you rich or leave you in shambles (x2) Well it’s the lottery It’s the lottery and it’s all a gamble

As fate would have it I’m a slip and a twist from Hitting every target I’ve ever missed I’ve always been a blind shooter But this shot in the dark kept me from Being the looser And when I look in her eyes I ask Are we waiting to die? Are we waiting to pass? She says no, my love All we got is time It’s all we can afford And if you can’t give me that What are we here for If this is all it takes to set you off Then I’ll build it on up and then Come to a stop Cause I wanna see your eyes wide I wanna get excited Wanna see the fuse burn before you get ignited I don’t wanna fight I wanna feel alive (x2) And when I look in her eyes I ask Are we waiting to die? Are we waiting to pass She says no, my love All we got is time It’s all we can afford And if you can’t give me that What are we here for? And when I look in her eyes I ask Are we waiting to die? Are we waiting to pass? She says no, my love All we got is time It’s all we can afford Now can you give me that? It’s all I’m here for

There’s a house in my neighborhood And I’ve never been inside But I can tell what goes on there By what I’ve seen between the blinds A patient lived there, Now somebody else, calls it a home A place where you, can go back to When you decide to get gone Get gone There’s a man He runs every time that it 105 degrees He wears a headband and sweat pants And I have no idea what any of this means It doesn’t have to mean a thing You don’t have to explain Anything to me I was walking down the sidewalk And I was on the right It was dark out, and the grass was wet And I’m glad I didn’t stay home tonight

Good One... 04:11
I’ve been thinking ‘bout the way things are Far too gone I’ve been waiting on the things I know Will never come You call me a space cadet I don’t quite know what that means yet I’ve been droning around my head Thinking of the thoughts I Think that I should keep And letting all the others just run free Thoughts of you and me I’ve been thinking ‘bout the way you are Far too gone I’ve been dwelling on the way that I wish you were But you’re not What you lead me to believe Clean and cool I’m falling all to pieces And it’s all because of you And how you tied me to a tree and Walked away And I held on til the end of the day I used to wish you’d stayed I’ve been thinking ‘bout the way we’ve been Far too long I’ve been saying to myself That there is nothing else To go wrong Ways have always lead me down Better paths And I took a detour while you Stayed on the tracks I’m just a space cadet I think I know what it means yeah
7.
It seems that life’s been kicking you out Like the drunk guy at the party That can’t keep his hands to himself You’re falling on your face And it’s hard to brush off When it ain’t no fall from grace And all you wanna do is sit and sulk in your room Have everyone else feel sorry for you If this is a pity party Then I am bringing balloons If you don’t want to go Then don’t go There’s plenty of other people who Just can’t say “no” It’s alright with me If you don’t wanna go Then you know just where I’ll be (x2) And it’s a tragedy that it ended up like this Torn between the snow and the leaves They said it gets better for a while ya know But it gets much harder having to let go I don’t know what the answer is And for mistakes I send my condolences I feel sorry for you If you don’t want to go Then don’t go There’s plenty of other people who Just can’t say “no” It’s alright with me If you don’t wanna go Then you know just where I’ll be (x2) Keep the clouds over head And the heat on the ground The sheets on my bed Keep me safe and sound From anything underneath And anything behind And anything that could Take me tonight (x2) If you don’t want to go Then don’t go There’s plenty of other people who Just can’t say “no” It’s alright with me If you don’t wanna go Then you know just where I’ll be (x2)

How does it feel Walking out your front door and not Sneaking out your basement window What’s your excuse for Coming home so early Is the party already over or Did you just miss me? You don’t have to explain Your absence from (x2) You don’t have explain Your absence from me And how does it feel? The concrete on the bottom of your feet Not a touch of grass Forty hours a week What’s your excuse for calling in Are you really sick or Did you just wanna see me again? You don’t have to explain Your absence from (x2) You don’t have explain Your absence from me I want you to be here Only if you want to be here (x4) We want you to be here Only if you want to be here How does it feel, the conclusion That you have come to It’s not so terrible Making do How does it feel, the conclusion That you have come to It’s not so terrible If you just see this through

Real Life 03:24
Candid place, familiar face All we are is empty space So go ahead and hold on to what you had Because it might be better than what you have Filthy feet across the lawn Is this what I called upon Something that is more than real Makes me want to never feel I never wanted to feel If this is the way it really is Then I might have to ask you to forgive me for Things that I have not yet done I know I can’t be the only one Improper the way we live I wish that I had more to give Predict how it falls apart Pushes me to never start I never wanted to start If this is the way it really is Then I might have to ask you to forgive me for Things that I have not yet done I know I can’t be the only one Hold on And keep me waiting (x6) If this is the way it really is Then I might have to ask you to forgive me for Things that I have not yet done I know I can’t be the only one If this is the way it really is Then I’ll never ask you to forgive me for Things that I have not yet done I never meant to b lead on

Unbuckled 03:52
There’s raindrops on my window Can’t roll it down, I’m stuck Breathing the heat that’s pouring out And as I unbuckle and step outside I realize I left my coat at home It’s 4 AM as I cover the lights That are burning straight through The lids of my eyes and i Think tonight’s a night I could die But I breathe in and out and I am alive I’m the child that tried to run too fast And now my feet are flying over my head I could Make it all come to a halt But I roll to the bottom before I get up I’m disappointed in things I can’t change Like the passing of time And the weight on my brain you could Find someone better than me But I like that you stay When you know you can leave There’s raindrops on my window Can’t roll it down, I’m stuck Breathing the heat that’s pouring out And as I unbuckle and step outside I realize I left my coat at home
11.
She asked me, If I get scared I said I don’t quite know There’s a basement in my house And I won’t go down If it’s dark and I’m alone Are you kidding me? Cause I just don’t believe It’s come to this And it’s not how it should be I’ve heard stories And I’ve got common sense To know the horror in the movies Poses no threat Like the questions that you ask Or the answers I don’t have The doubt in your mind Or the pain in my chest Are you kidding me? I know I’ve made mistakes But I was just a kid!
