If I land one tonight
I'm going to hope she's not wasted.
I don't need another mind changer,
I don't need another one to tell me
That I'm not nearly as interesting
As she's sobering up my sarcasm's much more biting,
And I'm certainly not bad looking but...
If you want to know me
All you've got to do is look in my eyes.
I've been looking at you all night.
I've been looking at you all night.
If I land one tomorrow
I'm going to hope she's not married
Because your hair smells so pretty,
Like the flowers behind the house that I grew up in.
Somewhere on Fox Hollow,
I wore my brother's shoes
Because he swallowed all that I was supposed to.
If you see me a week from now,
You wouldn't recognize a thing.
If there's a wall behind me I'll blend right in,
Because like a piece of paper, I'm paper thin.
I'm never going to sell you drugs.
I'm never going to make you eat stuff.
I'm never going to beat you up,
Physically or emotionally.
Well it would've been nice to know that I'd had enough.

You deserve better than a man
Who tells you that he loves you,
But doesn't give you a single piece of himself.
Sometimes I sit and ponder
How many times I've been that man to different women,
Too afraid to walk out doors for the sake of hurting feelings.
This is stupid.
There is an expression for the bad that's bound to come,
Ours is already downstairs,
It's been waiting in the living room
To gobble up all the semblances of our happiness.
He moves quickly, with no mercy,
For the feelings that have been spared for too long.
I don't love you, and you don't love me,
That's what I tell myself.

I don't understand the purpose
Of speaking in quotations,
As if the two sentences
That someone who's dead now had said
Could save me, could save us, could save them.
Save your words for a better time,
They could never know me.
I don't understand the purpose
Of speaking in generalities,
As if the eight words a stranger
Had said to me could sum...
Could sum to mean anything.
As long as it makes you feel better
To think that they mean the same thing.
Why don't you say what you mean?
Say what you mean.
Grocery clerk, you don't know me
And honestly I don't mind waiting.
I'm sure it gets rather lonely back there,
So why don't you tell me your story?
Your fretful looks are making me uneasy.
I wish it were that easy.
I'll just grin until I leave.
You could be anywhere,
But you're back there
Just'a lookin' at me.
Why don't you say what you mean?
Say what you mean.
I'm tired of all the same bullshit;
Demeaning women,
Complaining about taxes,
Or the rising price of gasoline.
Well yeah I hate it,
But you already know that.
Tell me the three things
That keep you up at night.
Tell me the three things
That you can't see yourself living without.
Because even if we only know each other
For the next 45 minutes,
I'd rather go home with
A story to tell about you.

This is the second service
That we've slept through
In the past month.
Who is this women I'm becoming?
To tell you the truth,
It feels good to break the rules for you.
What am I going to do
When you leave me?
And I've lost sight
Of everything that I was...
A good, god-fearing woman,
That lost her place in light,
Because I spent all of my time
Finding out what love means to me.
To tell you the truth,
It feels good to break the rules for you.

You left your mark
On the side of my arm
When we were lying in bed.
Dental impressions,
To remind me that you were here
Through it all.
You left your mark
On the side of my arm
As I was walking out the door.
So that every time
I look in the mirror
I'm reminded of you
And how you called me a coward.
Well I'm not:
I'm a failure
That's running away from himself.
And the last thing that I wanted
Was to let you down,
But now that I've gone and done it,
I can see that you're so much stronger
Standing by yourself.
I can't be the man that you love
And love you equally.
Accept the consequences
Of promises left undelivered.
At least it runs in my family.
I'm sorry that I'll love,
And that I will try again.
I won't shit myself,
And don't let me shit you,
This is my fault.
As valiant of a portrait
I'd like to paint of myself
I should've been better to you.

I think I lost it someplace over there;
I used to keep it in my back pocket.
I wrote it on my left arm,
So that when you forget,
I won't.
The truth is that I waited for too long.
The truth is that I waited for too long.
The truth is that I waited for too long.
I want to live like you do:
Unattached and in love.
Somehow you managed
To see through me.

We spent the year playing music
In the warehouse where I worked,
It was too hot or cold
Depending on the season.
That's where I heard my favorite sound:
A passing train reverberating through
The neighboring buildings.
And for a while,
I looked for people who would know
What I was talking about.
Now I recognize
The magic of that time.

Story That We Made
01:15

I spent several weeks
Trying to figure out
Where I needed to go
To make myself feel better
Only to find I was missing
Old friends, old times;
Hours spent in a basement
Of a bowling alley in Cleveland.
If I had it all to do over again,
I'd warn you
That after a year's time
I'll spend four months
Not making love to you
So that when you're at your worst
I'll have gathered the strength
To finally leave you.
Don't worry, you'll find a way
To shit all over
The story that we made.

You spent the last
Four years of your life
Chasing what you had with him.
I wonder, when will you realize
That you'll never have it?
So you'll have to
Stand on your own
For a little while.
Let your roots dig
Deep into the ground,
And watch yourself
Grow taller.

All the hard things you've said.
On the dark nights,
They run like a reel in my head.
You've said the same thing.

What words have we
For the liars that
Told us this was home?
I think I'll save them up
For several years
And pour them out
All over the ones that I love.
Well I guess me and my father
Have more in common
Than I'd thought.
Someday your ulcers will be mine.
Oh, the karmic irony
Of doing everything in my power
To not end up like you.
Then looking back,
And finding out
I've turned into everything
I ever feared:
One who cannot love,
And thinks only of himself.
The wisest words
Ever spoken to me
Came from the lips
Of a Korean minister:
"The passage of time
May feel empty,
But it carries all
That you need."

I spent the better half of my life
Fearing what I've become:
A godless, loveless,
Perspective free man.
Free only to walk
The walls between reasons.
I never knew that they could crack me.
For every question,
Another night that I couldn't sleep.
I see the way that you
Look at me differently.
Can't I still have you?
I traced the events of your life
With my aging fingers.
I was in my prime
Before the idea of you was born.
I spent my time being bigger than
What I knew that I was.
I had much to leave no one.
But I'm glad I found out how
To be proud of myself.
Despite the fact that I died alone.
See heaven is made of impossible figures,
And the only person you'll ever truly love
Is yourself.
Each morning I wake alone,
And somehow, for the first time,
I'm at peace with myself.
Angie, what of me
When I'm 93 and dying in your backseat?
I spent my life chasing questions
To which I'll never get the answers.
Well, most of us do.
It's less about the questions,
And more that you got through.
We've been fighting
For 3.5 billion years to get here.
