For 7 days after I met you girl I couldn’t get you off my mind We met for only a second but I think that you were just being kind Still I don’t think that it matters cause There is something different about you I guess I’ll try to forget you girl Cause there’s really nothing that I can do Why can’t I see I live in a fantasy You may be the one Or just another one Just another one This happens to me every time My imagination betrays me The girl I know lives inside my head So you know that she is perfect for me Still I don’t think it matters now There is something different about you I guess I’ll try to forget you girl Cause there’s nothing really that I can do Why can’t I see I live in a fantasy You may be the one Or just another one Just another one Why can’t I just let it go oh You’re in my life and you don’t even know Just another one Just another one Just another one

If you ignore me How can you pretend that you love me You’re just so needy You know that you’ll probably destroy me I see you Do you see me Everything’s fine It’s all a big lie If you ignore me How can you pretend that you love me You’re just so greedy You know that you’ll probably destroy me I see you Do you see me

I belong There is no doubt about it Turn me down Not sure i can live without it On and on and I feel like I don’t matter On and on and Can not get any sadder Shallow Feelings I know better ways Come on New days Why does it always take so long Can I be wrong Makes me want to cry What can I do Not sure I can live without it On and on and I feel like i don’t matter On and on and Can not get any sadder Shallow Feelings I know better ways Come on New days Why does it always take so long Shallow (shallow) I know better ways (I know better ways) Come on New days Why does it have to take so long

Get Away 03:30
lyrics

Where am I going now? What am I thinking now Never thought I’d feel this way I think I have to get away I don’t know what else to do Don’t think that I can face the truth Never thought I’d feel this way I think I have to get away Every little thing All I know is I am drowning I don’t feel a thing And I don’t want to pull you under Things are not just black and white I can’t seem to find the light Never thought I feel this way I think I have to get away Every little thing All I know is I am drowning I don’t feel a thing And I don’t want to pull you under There’s nothing I can point to but I go thru the motions every day It’s not that I don’t want to I couldn’t if I tried to anyway

Will you stay Or escape this time It plays with or without you It passes by when you’re looking down Memories fade They just fade away Wish I could remember It passes by when you’re not around Live your life while you can You can It waits for no one There’s no escape Time keeps flying It’s almost gone Stalling But i keep trying I’m holding on Fallling Memories fade They just fade away Wish I could remember It passes by when you’re looking down Live your life while you can You can It waits for no one There’s no escape Time keeps flying It’s almost gone Stalling But i keep trying I’m holding on Fallling Time keeps flying It’s almost gone (need back vox here - like steely dan) Stalling But i keep trying I’m holding on Falling

When you told me that you weren't coming back home All I did was cry Said you didn’t want to leave I can’t live without you You never said you would follow me Follow me - yeah Now you act as if nothing happened Oh But you're where you are Oh, oh And you're where you go Guess it's over, over - I know alone You never said you would follow me Follow me - yeah Now I'm blinded by inner visions of you Something you never were My own creation That's all - all I ever knew You never said you would follow me Follow me - yeah

I don’t know don’t know And I can’t explain it I feel tired and slow I don’t feel like playing I don’t like Giving up It used to feel so good to be here I can’t try Any more And it’s becoming more and more clear I don’t want to fight any more Cause I’m tired of crying It’s getting hard to get up off the floor And I’m tired of trying Don’t ask why you know Don’t make me say it I used to want to fly and go Now I just can’t take it I don’t like Giving up It used to feel so good to be here I can’t try Any more And it’s becoming more and more clear I don’t want to fight any more Cause I’m tired of crying It’s getting hard to get up off the floor And I’m tired of trying It’s not that I don’t want it any more But I’m so exhausted I wish that I could be like me before But I’m gone gone gone I don’t want to fight it any more Cause I’m tired of crying It’s getting hard to get up off the floor And I’m tired of trying It’s not that I don’t want it Don’t want it Hmm I wish that I could be like Be like But I’m gone gone gone
