The Ghost

This is your conscience, this is the ghost, of all the things in your life you neglect the most. This is for confidence, this is for fear, if you're so shy and quiet what are you doing here? This is your last chance, your end is close, your final chapter's written but you can't seem to let it go. If it was obvious, or if it was clear, if you had taken risks would you still be lying here?

The ghost of things you never said, the ghost of books you left unread, the ghost of love you never had.

Maybe you know me, maybe you don't.

The ghost of things you never said, the ghost of books you left unread, the ghost of love you never had, the ghost of lives you could have lead.

Ego Trip

Last night I saved myself from sweet temptation, I had to stop to rid myself of all the things I've hated, and there I go it's best I know, to keep my focus straight ahead cause man, the time is wasting.

And who do you think you're talking to? Your just a man on the brink, and I don't care what you think, you're just an ordinary nine-to-five messiah on an ego trip.

Last night I looked back on the road I've taken, I had to find a life that's real and not so simulated, it's far too often I find, that we get trapped in our mind, so if you find a ticket out you'd better damn well take it.

It must be easier to try and stir me up, cause all the things you got, well it must not be enough, you're standing on the edge, I'm really sorry friend, but what you're looking for, you've got to find it yourself.

Back Where I Belong

The way things are going, I don't know how they'll end, you know that I can't lie to you, I know you won't pretend. If you think you can't take it, if you have to let "us" go, just let it out right here, just say yes or say no.

I can feel, I feel it all around me, it takes until I'm empty, I don't want to do it all without you, I don't know myself.

And if I go out that far again, if I'm lost and I need a friend, I know you've been right there all along to help get me back where I belong, and if I lose track of where I am, let's be honest you know I can, I know you've been right there all along to help get me back where I belong.

She asks me why I do the things I do, I say "you know what I've chosen, I'm gonna see it through." If you think that I'm mixed up, I'm a little bit confused, there's a thirst for more inside us all, don't you feel it too?

Waiting For an Answer

You want me to notice, well here I am, here I am. Now I want you to focus, I know you can, I've got a new plan.

Will you choose to save me today? Will it matter anyway? Cause I'm like you, yeah we're both the same, just give me the chance I'll take you away.

Step back, just for a few, and get another point of view. 'Cause now you're too scared to mention I hear, and now I want your attention, and I want it right here.

'Cause if you want to, I can save you.

If you say you want me to go, I'll pack my bags and I'll make my way home, but I said I wanted you, all you have to say is that you want me too. Want me to go, or want me to stay, I'll wait for an answer anyway.

Never Too Late

I know you've got broken wings, you never left the ground. It's never too late to pick it up and turn it all around.

You say, "I've never felt like this before, and I just want to share it with you."

Star gazing from the hood of your car, your mind will drift away. So be who you are and do what you do 'cause it's the only way.

The day you fixed your broken heart, you never made a sound. What's the use of gravity? It only keeps you down.

Hard To Resist

And like that cigarette that burns your lips and stains your fingertips, they try to tell you that I'm bad for you, I know they do. And like that love we shared the both of us were caught unprepared, Too young to be serious but I find it so hard to resist.

I think I'd like to have you around with me for the ride. I think I'd like to have you around for a long, long time.

I can't be any good for you.

That aspirin in your hand, you optimist, you think that it can erase the headaches that I cause for you, I know it's true. Our lives, they didn't care, they moved along with us unaware, too old for this foolishness but I find it so hard to resist.

And what you think that you see is only part of the dream, you forget all of the work that comes from being with me. You're planning so far ahead, can't we be happy instead, living in moments like this, where it's so hard to resist.

Voice in Your Head

Now that it's over it doesn't seem real. You thought that you'd moved on but you can't help but feel that something is missing, something is not right. Your diary's online, but you're holding it tight.

You stay away from the light, you're feeling so weak, and God you're so tired of trying to be the one that she wanted, the one that she'll need. You're picking at this wound cause you want it to bleed. That's what you need.

Sitting in your room, the voice in your head says, "Let go of pity and try this instead. Whenever you're lonely, whenever you're down just sing this to yourself and sing it loud: "

Finally it hits you on the drive home, there's some things you guess at and some that you know. She hid her intentions, you just couldn't see, cause everything's not right but it's going to be. It's going to be.

The Last of Your Kind

Out of the corner of my eye I catch a glimpse of something, and I don't think I've felt so alive, simpy stunning, you must be the last of your kind.

Seemingly mysterious behind emerald eyes, your subtle smile tells me much more than you realize. Even though I'd like to open up myself to you, I'm gonna keep you guessing, keep you guessing.

I keep my cool as you walk by, but then your perfume, it hits me. It seems no one these days spends the time on the details, you must be the last of your kind.

So Much Better

You can say, but I don't want you to, that none of this is my fault, oh yeah well who are you, to tell me it wasn't? 'Cause I know very well. The memories are all mine and I keep to myself.

And I slip away...

I can't think of anything else, it's so hard to remember. 'Cause I left and everything went to hell and now I feel I could've made it so much better.

I remember the day I went off on my own, the brightest sky above me and the darkest ground below. So sing me another and tell me nothing's wrong, cause I can't shake this feeling that I knew all along.

Any Other Way

As we walk down that other street, the world I know getting much further from me, I want to ask but you won't tell so I stop myself 'cause I know you too well.

And I feel you weak from the secrets that you keep, and your walls are falling down from the weight of what you've found.

I wake you up but you're trying to sleep, it must be all in my head, I guess I'm trying to keep it together when all that I'd rather do is anything other than worry about you.

And as we walk down that other street, well I close my eyes and I grit my teeth, this feeling's strange, you know I wouldn't have it any other way. Any other way.

And I feel you weak from the secrets that you keep, your walls fall down from the weight of what you've found. And when you find your way to sleep with the tears wet on your sleeves, I hope you've finally found a way to face the things that you can't change.
