Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.

When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,

This Grey room,
This bunker,
The air is humming
us to sleep

While outside,
the city hurries;
the endless worries

Maybe i should drop you at your door
Or leave tonight and vanish up the shore
Anywhere but here

It's three o'clock we're driving in your car,
You're screaming out the window at the stars,
"please don't drive me home!"

And your photo stills
In your wallet with your unpaid bills
And you show it like it means something
You could never know the pain it brings

And then here you are, standing in our drive
When absence suits you best
Your letters and your cards

I'm on, 2, 3, 4
Wanna do your best tonight
Check, check

Cold day, stuck in my head
Wargames, interstates
Restless adolescence
Presidential motorcades

Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought you­d want to know

That when you feel the world is crashing

Well how the times have changed
Looking back, it seems so clear now
Everything you wanted in your life
Everything is certain
Try and understand
Put a checklist on your wall
I am not what you think I should be

And the morning light was breaking

Slowly moving across the bed

He gets up without her waking

To the voices in his head

Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out the lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting

I got a little bit of hope, like a soap on a rope
Sweeter than sour gettin' thinner by the hour
Fallin' fast and I'm runnin' out of gas
Noggin' on your sister smart as Bobby Fisher
Still I couldn't get arrested
Though I got more hooks than Madonna got looks
Just like that AC/DC song, "C'mon baby, shake me all night long"

Looking around the house.
Hidden behind the window and the door.
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home.

Well, maybe I'm just too sure.
Maybe I'm just too frightened
by the sound of it.
Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said,

[Verse 1]
Where's the silver lining?
I wake up to the sound, to the sound
Of the whole world crying
You hear it long enough, long enough
And your hope starts dying
Got a million things to do
What's the point in trying, trying

I been waitin',
Waitin' is the hardest part.
Lyin' sleepless,
Thinkin 'bout you in the dark.

I can ponder,
What was like a
coiled in Spring.

How can you be so warm?
How can you know what I feel?
Well, it's the way you move your hands,
and it's the way you understand.

[CHORUS:]
And that's the reason that I'm asking.
That's the reason that I want to know.

Here we go

I got with somebody's date
You're like a Soap Opera cover
My lover self-automates
Juicy

You say a-somebody say

If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
Could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,

What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?

There's an angel on the stairs
(as if you'd even care)
When the lights go up,
and the sun has nearly gone down.

Did you see him on the street?
Did you pass him at your feet?
Did you think aloud,"how dare they

Talking in her sleep again
Reciting lines start to end
But she's not crazy
(Knock on wood)
Just a little misunderstood

She takes a walk at 4AM
Wakes the neighborhood again

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

We were standing in an empty room.
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.

North light comes uninvited
Through the window to where you lie
Disjointed, dust and silence
Quite at a loss

I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange

Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to show your face around here.
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.
Well, I wish I could shake some sense into you and walk out the door.

[To Chorus:]
But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.

Caller I.D. you
From the phone both up the street
The words still burning
So breath it out breath it in
Close your eyes and count to ten
You blew it all this time
But that's just how is that you're not here
And you now?

I can still recall
The way you looked that fall
In your favorite dress
The day before you left
And since that time
I wrote a simple rhyme

And I miss you and the things you do

I don't know what color your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong and you're so, so long
And you don't come from this town

My head is full of magic, baby
And I can't share this with you
Feel I'm on the cross again, lately
