I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love Even when I try I can’t help but lie to you And it’s a waste of your love I see you walking down the street You’re bare feet and painted toes You make me everything I should be But still I let you go I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love Even when I try I can’t help but lie to you And it’s a waste of your love I see you walking down the street You’re bare feet and painted toes You make me everything I should be But still I let you go I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love Even when I try I can’t help but lie to you And it’s a waste of your love I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love Even when I try I can’t help but lie to you And it’s a waste of your love I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love

You sat down across the way Head-to-toe, dressed in gray You looked rather ambiguous And a little like you’re dangerous You kept still with your nose in a book A cool manner, to fit the look Never one to be impetuous And I feel like you’re dangerous Yes, you are dangerous Nothing left of a life disavowed On the run, hiding in a crowd The line you’re walking is tenuous And I can tell that you’re dangerous Weighed down by the secrets that you keep With one eye open, you try to fall asleep What you done was treasonous And I know that you’re dangerous Yes, you are dangerous I’m lookin’ at ya I’m thinkin’ ‘bout ya I’m lookin’ at ya, thinkin’ ‘bout ya, lookin’ at ya, thinkin’ ‘bout ya You looked rather ambiguous Never one to be impetuous The line you’re walking is tenuous What you done was treasonous Yes, you are dangerous

Don’t fall asleep on me now I want you here with me when the sun comes out I don’t know when I’ll see you again So don’t let this night come to an end Oh, how I’ve missed your skin Your big brown eyes and that silly grin I haven’t seen you in such a long time I’ll do whatever I can to change your mind Some time ago, we walked away Hoping this love would fade But in the back of our minds we knew there would come a time When we would let love go blind What do you want me to say? I never thought this love would see another day And just like that you appeared to me As the sun fell down behind that old oak tree Some time ago, we walked away Hoping this love would fade But in the back of our minds we knew there would come a time When we would let love go blind Let love go blind… Don’t fall asleep on me now I want you here with me when the sun comes out I don’t know when I’ll see you again So don’t let this night come to an end Some time ago, we walked away Hoping this love would fade But in the back of our minds we knew there would come a time When we would let love go blind Let love go blind…

The way things are I’m losing touch Like anybody else, I can only take so much And when I feel that breeze blowing by my ear I take a look around to see what’s keeping me here ‘Cause it don’t mean that much to me I got one foot out the door, and I’m just waiting to see If you’re gonna make this harder than it has to be, I’m gonna leave ‘Cause it don’t mean that much to me No, it just don’t mean that much to me They way things are I’m tripping out Like anybody else, I have always had my doubts And when I feel that breeze blowing by again Yeah, I’ll be moving on, it’s just a matter of when ‘Cause it don’t mean that much to me I got one foot out the door, and I’m just waiting to see If you’re gonna make this harder than it has to be, I’m gonna leave ‘Cause it don’t mean that much to me No, it just don’t mean that much to me ‘Cause it don’t mean that much to me I got one foot out the door, and I’m just waiting to see If you’re gonna make this harder than it has to be, I’m gonna leave ‘Cause it don’t mean that much to me No, it just don’t mean that much to me No, it just don’t mean that much to me I said, it just don’t mean that much to me

She's an idiot – And she's making me feel like I'm one, too I'm an idiot – For never doing what I should do And I'm just gonna have to say it straighter If I don't wanna have to come back later I'm an idiot – For never saying what I'm mean She's an idiot – For thinking that this is what it seems And I'm just gonna have to say it straighter If I don't wanna have to come back later I feel the water filling up in my lungs She’s looking at me like I’m talking in tongues Just share your soul and your drink The more we talk, the further I sink Now we’re in so deep, struggling through Drifting out from the Isle of View Does she see me wearing concrete shoes? Does she see me fading into the blue? She's an idiot – And she's making me feel like I'm one, too I'm an idiot – For never doing what I should do And I’m not gonna come back later I can’t say it any straighter I’m not gonna come back later… no, no, no, no
7.
You got it all figured out You don’t have a single doubt And you ought not bother to give it a thought ‘Cause you know what it’s all about And you lay yourself down Under that big weeping willow And you think you’re so cool Just like the other side of the pillow You got some nerve You went and made me swerve But you ought not bother to give it a thought ‘Cause you gonna get what you deserve And you lay yourself down Under that big weeping willow And you think you’re so cool Just like the other side of the pillow And you lay yourself down Under that big weeping willow And you think you’re so cool Just like the other side of the pillow And you lay yourself down Under that big weeping willow And you think you’re so cool Just like the other side of the pillow
8.
I’m standing here thinking on the corner of 13th & Lincoln Whatever I’s drinking is making me feel like I’m sinking Hold back tonight, I can’t get in another fight And nothing you can say will make this right The bond we were making is slowly but surely breaking You keep taking, and I’m through faking I’ve heard it all, so you shouldn’t bother to call I’ve never been made to feel so small And just so you know, I won’t let this go I won’t let this go, no, no You scream and shout, and it’s high time I got out Let me leave you with no doubt I’m on the move, and there’s nothing you can do There’s nothing you do, ooh, ooh I’ll never forget what you put me through And all the things that you said you’d do You pushed and pulled and knocked me down I’d rather be dead than have to stick around with you
9.
I woke up this morning with a half-empty bottle by the bed I had on all of my clothes; my lip was split, and my phone was dead And I rolled over to my baby to let her rub my aching head And when I opened up my eyes I found myself alone instead And I can’t even begin to think of where she might’ve went She didn’t leave a note, but she made damn sure to take the rent And if I know my baby, that money’s done been spent Now I’m looking back at that bottle with another reason to get bent My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ I know I ain’t been acting as best I could Yeah, I said a few things I said I never would And the feeling that I feel, well, it don’t feel so good My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’ My baby’s gone missin’
10.
I waited for you to show; I guess you didn’t want to go; you could have let me know I sat up ‘til a quarter to four; ‘til I couldn’t take any more Hoping that you’d knock on my door But I never heard the sound of your feet coming up my walk And I’m sick of sitting here by myself watching the clock Whether or not you plan to come around, I won’t ever let you let me down But I don’t wanna hear anymore talk I’ve just been sipping on some rum; twiddling my thumbs; not expecting you to come You left me hanging on the line; it wasn’t my first time; I can’t say I really mind Cause there will always be someone else to meet All I got to do is step out onto the street There goes one just as pretty as you, and another and another and another, too And each one wants to give me something sweet I’m so glad not to be in love right now with anyone ’Cause my life has just begun But you had to bring me back to something else I used to know Somewhere down ‘round El Paso And you could help this lonely soul You could fill my heart with gold I want you to come with me; I got something I want you to see Somewhere I want you to be You say this is all too new; it’s all too new to you; and you don’t know what to do You know, we barely had a chance to say “hey”, now we’re saying “so long” And I don’t have to watch you walk away to know you’re gone You and I never said goodbye, you know, times like this are the reason’s why The world will always need another song The world will always need another song The world will always need another song

Penelope 03:55
What I’m about to say might sound a little strange But it’s hard to explain the way things can change We’ve been doing this two-step all summer long And I kept telling myself, ‘what could go wrong?’ Oh, Penelope, I'm in love I'm in love, but not with you Someone else has come around And I'm in love, but not with you As the weeks went by, I know I had a lot to say You made it kind of easy to get carried away It didn’t take long for me to be in over my head Now I’m tripping up trying to walk back what I said Oh, Penelope, I'm in love I'm in love, but not with you Someone else has come around And I'm in love, but not with you I didn't expect to see her there I didn't expect to see her anywhere You're feeling pain, and it's not fair But I found the one I want, and I can't care ‘Stay in the moment’, that’s what I was told to do Right then and there, the moment took me away from you Now, all the things that I said will have to be revised Not for nothing, but I didn’t see it coming and I’m just as surprised Oh, Penelope, I'm in love I'm in love, but not with you Someone else has come around And I'm in love, but not with you Oh, Penelope, oh, Penelope Oh, Penelope, I'm in love Oh, Penelope, oh, Penelope I'm in love, but not with you
12.
I’ve been around long enough to see what is good I’ve been around long enough to see what is good I thought I had done so much I thought I had done so much I thought I had done so much But I know I still have a long way to go I’ve been around long enough to know what is right I’ve been around long enough to know what is right I thought I had come so far I thought I had come so far I thought I had come so far But I know I still have a long way to go
13.
And I can’t remember exactly what I’s gonna say But I’m not gonna let you, I’m not gonna let you get away And I can’t remember exactly what I’s gonna say But I’m not gonna let you, I’m not gonna let you get away
14.
I’m in a melancholy way And I’m drifting through the days Pretending it’s OK that you’re gone Nothing can be the same And for that we’re both to blame It was never my aim to do you wrong And my latest regrets Well, they’re my greatest yet Yeah, my latest regrets are my greatest yet We get lost in love sometimes Hide our eyes from all the signs But when you try to move the lines Remember Joel & Clementine, with the sunshine in their minds What did they find? Tell me, what did they find? And I’m really sad We didn’t finish Breaking Bad We only had two episodes to go And I’m sick of being strangers Yeah, I’m sick of being strangers I’m sick of being strangers with you We get lost in love sometimes Hide our eyes from all the signs But when you try to move the lines Remember Joel & Clementine, with the sunshine in their minds What did they find? Tell me, what did they find?
15.
I thought we were a nation of two And together we shared the Universal Will to Become Discovering the 53 portals to the soul In the shadow of Musket Mountain when the Sun goes down My glass is empty; your headlamp’s out My glass is empty; your headlamp’s out I thought we were a nation of two Turning the page to the Amphibious Age Where people forgive you for whatever fool thing you do And we’ll eat dates from the calendar And drink water from the springs of the bed See the cat? See the cradle? See the cat? See the cradle? Here I am, here I am Here I am So glad you are, so glad you are So glad you are I thought we were a nation of two Facing the blue tunnel to the Afterlife We live by the foma and the wampeter of our duprass It was all so sad, but it was all so beautiful, too And so it goes; and on and on And so it goes; and so on, and on and on and on… Nation of two…
16.
We get lost in love sometimes Hide our eyes from all the signs But when you try to move the lines Remember Joel & Clementine, with the sunshine in their minds What did they find? Tell me, what did they find? I’m in a melancholy way And I’m sick of being strangers I’m sick of being strangers… with you
17.
And I can’t remember exactly what I’s gonna say But I’m not gonna let you, I’m not gonna let you get away And I can’t remember exactly what I’s gonna say But I’m not gonna let you, I’m not gonna let you get away And I can’t remember exactly what I’s gonna say But I’m not gonna let you, I’m not gonna let you get away
18.
I thought I had done so much I thought I had done so much I thought I had done so much I thought I had come so far I thought I had come so far I thought I had come so far But I know I still have a long way to go I still have a long way to go…

Hanging 02:41
For too long I’ve just been hanging on When in my head, I’m already gone And each day that passes by We sit and wonder why Why haven’t we said enough is enough? We’ve gotta pack it up; it’s time to fly Ride out to find a spot that sits up high enough The water doesn’t care what it swallows up And each day that passes by We sit and wonder why Why haven’t we said enough is enough? We’ve gotta pack it up; it’s time to fly

Guessed 04:13
I guessed you’d go long I guessed you’d turn on I guessed you’d get gone I guess I guessed wrong I guessed we’d let go I guessed we’d get low I guessed we’d bet, oh! I guess I guessed so I guessed we’d let go I guessed we’d get low I guessed we’d bet, oh! I guess I guessed so I guessed it’d be true I guessed it’d be due I guessed it’d be you I guess you guessed that too I guessed it’d be true I guessed it’d be due I guessed it’d be you I guess you guessed that too I guessed it’d come down to this And we’d miss the days before we made such a mess Of all of this which we’ve been blessed I guessed you’d go long I guessed you’d turn on I guessed you’d get gone I guess I guessed wrong again I guessed we’d let go I guessed we’d get low I guessed we’d bet, oh! I guess I guessed so I guessed it’d be true I guessed it’d be due I guessed it’d be you I guess you guessed that too
22.
Things these days have been tough, yeah, we’re stuck in a rut And we’ve all had enough of a winter that sucked Spring has sprung at last, yeah, things are changing fast And like the snow on the grass, it’s time to put it all in the past ‘Cause we’ve got so much to do, and we’re wasting time And I know you know it’s true, we’re running out of rhymes To speak our minds, and try to find our way back over the line Over the line, yeah, we’ve gone over the line Things these days have gone too far, yeah, we’re falling apart And we can’t stay where we are, if we wanna have a fresh start Spring is in full swing, yeah, who knows what it’ll bring And I would give everything, just to have a new song for us to sing ‘Cause we’ve got so much to do, and we’re wasting time And I know you know it’s true, we’re running out of rhymes To speak our minds, and try to find our way back over the line Over the line, yeah, we’ve gone over the line Things these days have been tough, yeah, we’re stuck in a rut And we’ve all had enough Things these days have gone too far, yeah, we’re falling apart And we can’t stay where we are
23.
I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love Even when I try I can’t help but lie to you And it’s a waste of your love I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love Even when I try I can’t help but lie to you And it’s a waste of your love I don’t know why I get so high from Wasting your love And each day that passes by we sit and wonder why Why haven’t we said enough is enough? We’ve gotta pack it up; ‘cause enough is enough; it’s time to fly
24.
And each day that passes by We sit and wonder why Why haven’t we said enough is enough? We’ve gotta pack it up Enough is enough; it’s time to fly
25.
Oh, I should have known I’d take the long way home And forget to call Oh, these aching bones, I could stand to get stoned No, I wouldn’t mind at all You said come with me let me show you what I can see For you and me It doesn’t always have to be the way they made it all out to be For you and me And I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ right up on me Oh, do you wanna go, go to Mexico And live on the beach I can see it now, everything we dreamed about Is within reach And I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ right up on me And I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ right up on me And I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ right up on me And I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ I see love rollin’ right up on me
