Fallin' Down
Do you know, where you want to go?
I ain't got time for you now 
Do you think, that I'll ever be?
'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along
You're making me fall down, 
I'm fallin' down again 
I wish you could fall down, 
Can you catch me darling?
Do you see, what you do to me? 
You ain't got time for it now 
Do you think, that I'll ever be?
'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along
You're making me fall down 
I'm falling down again 
I wish you could fall down 
Can you catch me darling?
'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along
You're making me fall down 
I'm falling down again 
I wish you could fall down 
Can you catch me darling?


You whispered in my mouth 
And I spit you words right back 
How good do you think I'll look 
When the words start to break and crack
You beat your head upon your wall 
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and
so untouchable 
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know
how 
No I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
You held your hand so close 
And I just can't push you away 
I wished you could be my girl 
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world
You beat your head upon your wall 
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and
so untouchable 
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know
how 
No I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
You beat your head upon your wall 
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and
so untouchable 
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know
how 
And I don't know how
'Cause you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back

I called you up all night til mornin'
Left my house by noon today, and I saw you
standing there 
No one spoke, but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say
And the sun shines all around us 
Smells like summer's on the way, and I saw
you standing there 
Tell the story of a lifetime 
Tomorrow brings a brand new day
Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that
you said 
Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from
your head 
Least for a while
You see, the day keeps getting longer
But my nights seem longer still, and my TV's
off the air 
Watching repeats on my ceiling 
Another hour left to kill
Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that
you said 
Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from
your head 
Least for a while

You changed my face, I think I like it better
now 
It doesn't matter anyhow, 'cause that's the
way it is 
You said hello, where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war, and
I may never be the same again
I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
I'm tossin and turnin you know, you know it
ain't right 
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm
thinking out loud
And when you dream 17 
I ain't there, so I don't care 
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23 
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
I lie in my bed, you're running through my
head 
Going over and over and over, the things that
you said 
I'm caught in the trap, I'll run like hell
right back to you 
'Cause I'm sober with you and you know it
beats drinking alone
And when you dream 17 
I ain't there, so I don't care 
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23 
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
And when you dream 17 
I ain't there, so I don't care 
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23 
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
And when you dream 17 
I ain't there, so I don't care 
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23 
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me 
She's the girl right next to me 
See that girl right next to me

If you never had it then 
You don't know how bad it is 
There is nothing like it, well 
Needless talk then, I can tell
| Here comes the day, I sit and wait  Always, always something  | (Dominoes are falling still) | 
| The bills keep coming, the car ain't running 
 Now I'm coming home again  | (As I know they always will) | 
| Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way 
 Just sit and wait  | (Dominoes a test of will) | 
| Always pondering my fate too late 
 And then the day goes  | (Dominoes) | 
I borrowed from you yesterday 
Little fuss that you have made 
No one minds I can tell 
Seems I've hit the ones you shall, but 
| Here comes the day, I sit and wait  Always, always something  | (Dominoes are falling still) | 
| The bills keep coming, the car ain't running 
 Now I'm coming home again  | (As I know they always will) | 
| Another day, the mailman's on his way 
 Just sit and wait  | (Dominoes a test of will) | 
| Always pondering my fate too late 
 And then the day goes  | (Dominoes) | 
| Dominoes are falling still | (Oh every day ) | 
| As I know they always will | (I sit and wait) | 
| Dominoes a test of will | (It's while I'm pondering my fate too late) | 
| Dominoes | (And then the day goes) | 

It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us 
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's
right 
This day belongs to all of us 
Even still I like with a chill 
That ain't so obvious
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why 
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my
sights 
And that ain't for all of us 
It's a beautiful sound 
When my life comes crashin down 
That ain't so obvious 
It's a beautiful sin and I'm doin' it again
And that ain't for all of us 
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my
sights 
Ain't that so obvious
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why 
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why 
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why 
There's no reason why...
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why 
We are the normal 
We live and we die 
With no reason why

I've got no politics, no influential friend
or two 
I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked
up at school 
I might be running, but I'm never running
back to you
And here's a letter from the real world, I
don't expect you'll reply 
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just
another lie
I had to wait so long that weeks and months
that passed me by 
You've got no power and my situation don't
apply 
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing
fine
And with your sugar-sweetend alibi, there
was a truth I never knew 
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming
back to you
String of lies, it's always compromise with
you 
String of lies, you know there's nothing better
to do 
String of lies, it's been a string of lies
with you
And here's a letter from the real world, I
don't expect you'll reply 
And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just
another lie
String of lies, we always compromise for you
String of lies, you know there's nothing better
to do 
String of lies, it's been a string of lies
with you 
String of lies, we always compromise for you
And here's a letter from the real world

Happy, smilin', cryin' outburst to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't
last 
And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress
The fun of holding you down, or seein' you
frown, it's never gonna pass
Somewhere there's a place a soul can never
go 
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't
know 
All our postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down, that laughing clown
is all I ever get
Another second time around I've been runnin'
from ya 
Another second time around 
Another second, one more second time I waited
for ya 
Another second time around
Couldn't help myself 
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time 
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last
And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed
Well I'm all tired out, so wired now, it's
ringing in my head
Another second time around I've been runnin'
from ya 
Another second time around 
Another second, one more second time I waited
for ya 
Another second time around 
Another second time around 
Another second time around

You need someone to hold you 
You need somethin' that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one 
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean
nothing 
And you're holding on forever 
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you 
And I know 
It's what I'd do 
Here I go
'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I
loved you 
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want
to 
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
'Cause it ain't enough
You had another bad day 
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you 
You live in truth and I know I can't fake
it
'Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk
And they ain't polished and new
If they don't come true 
And I know, it's what I'd do 
Here I go
'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I
loved you 
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want
to 
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
'Cause it ain't enough
I'm not too young for the world 
I'm not too young for the world 
And I can't change for the world 
'Cause I don't care for the world 
I don't need to stop the world 
It don't make sense, the world

I look outside my window 
Everything was blanketed in white 
The neighbors pushing cars out 
From snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout 
The things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple 
And getting up was fun
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Turn around and face the clock 
I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up 
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above 
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds 
Will someday just collide
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there.
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Just a boy who's young at heart 
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife 
Never had to go astray 
Happiness evolved 
Life was in full swing 
At 17, all the things he wanted 
Were things he'd never seen
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

He burnt down the house one night 
He had a loaded six-pack gun 
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a
cop 
You know, you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground 
Was another dream come true 
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all
night 
But I'm not in love with you
And I never got serious 
'Til everything went black 
And I ain't so curious 
That I'm ever going back
On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie
He said, man, you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down 
He said you've got to die facing up in the
world 
'Cause there's too many holes around
He asked what was wrong with me 
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean,
man 
'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole
wide world
And I never got serious 
'Til everything went black 
And I ain't so curious 
That I'm ever going back
On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie
On the lie, he was 
On the lie 
On the lie, she was 
On the lie 
On the lie, he was 
On the lie 
It's all been a stinkin' lie

I wish I had a saxophone 
I'd play the blues 'til you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent 
In the walk that heaven sent 
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried
Had a certain passion 
And I had surly dreams 
A look of vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me 
Don't close your eyes to me 
Oh don't close your eyes to me 
Don't close your eyes to me
I wish I had a camera lens 
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bad
Looking at the skies of blue 
All day long I think of you 
Even after all the shit we've been through
Had a certain passion 
And I had surly dreams 
A look of vicious actions 
Don't close your eyes to me 
Don't close your eyes to me 
Please don't close your eyes to me
Don't close your eyes to me 
Oh don't close your eyes to me 
Close your eyes to me 
Close your eyes to me 
Eyes to me 
Close your eyes to me 
Don't close your eyes to me 
Close your eyes to me 
Close your eyes to me 
Don't close your eyes to me 
Eyes to me

Why do you stare me down? 
Am I wrong? 
Should I turn and kiss the ground?
And I never felt that way 
I ain't the one and you know I don't come
from such a place
And I didn't get those things 
Things that you can't grow 
You say that it's all my fault 
And I don't need to know
Tell me something I don't know 
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round
behind me 
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't
know
And I hate your attitude 
I ain't scared at all 
'Cause it don't matter what you do
And I'll turn around to see the truth
You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing
it down 
And it's all on you
And I didn't get those things 
Things that you can't grow 
You say that it's all my fault 
And I don't need to know
Tell me something I don't know 
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round
behind me 
You said that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't
know
And I know 
I don't know 
(Rock and roll) 
And I say that 
If you break enough glass and there's no one
to hear 
And your heart's full of hate 
'Cause your mind's full of fear 
Let it go
So far away 
So far away 
So far away 
Oh so far away 
So far away 
So far away
