Washington Square's right up the street
That was the place where
we would meet
Outside the dog run, don't be late
Most of the time I'd
sit and wait
Looking at people passing by
A customer's bagging his
supply
Just as he thought she wouldn't show
There she comes running
don't you know it
Daylight's wasting, daylight
Yeah, I can taste
it
It falls from the sky
I had a band of certain fame
The
brownstone walk-ups was our name
The singer was fair but got it wrong He
never did justice to my songs
He did more for me and that's a fact
When he went and stabbed me in the back
So I've gotta do now don't you know
What I should've done five years ago
Yeah, 'cos daylight's wasting,
daylight
Yes I can taste it
As it falls from the sky
Daylight's
wasting,
daylight repeat a couple of times
As it falls from the sky
Daylight's wasting, daylight

In the dawning hour,
break of day
Strikes an old church
tower,
a mile away
Based on old transcriptions,
from a song
We'll be mining,
tears from a stone
From a stone
From a
stone
From a stone
Yeah
And as the morning daylight,
enters
here
We'll be adding curses,
to a prayer
Taking notes down as,
we go along
Yeah we'll be mining,
tears from a stone
From a
stone
From a stone
Tears from a stone
You shoot the blame
out
like a star
That never asked us
who we are
You shoot a wish
out
to the sky
It never asked us
where we hide
Where we hide
From a stone
Tears from a stone, oh
Tears from a

Her skin is like velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when
she's smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings
Her
touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're
together
I'm always alone
But hear how she sings
But hear how she
sings
And hear how she sings
Her skin is like velvet
So I went
to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can't own
Her
skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings
She
sings
And hear how she sings

| Foolish |
Half an hour's
worth |
Underground |
Woke up to a lonely type of day
I'm running out of reasons
I
should stay
Put your arms around me,
what can I say
Leave me where
you found me
Then walk away
I'm staying through to Friday,
then
I'm gone
Unreachable by letters,
or by phone
But one day, I'll be
calling
Way down the road baby
Stop me then from falling
Don't let
me go
Put your arms around me
What can I say
Leave me where you
found me
Then walk away
I let her slip away I was foolish
I
bowed to the ovation in my head
Put your arms around me
One for the
road baby
Leave me where you found me
Then walk away
Someday
you will know
I'll be damned if I ever
Can let you go
And it keeps
me together to know
Keeps me together to know
Some day you will
know
I'll be damned if I ever
Can let you go
Keeps me together to
know
Oh, put your arms around me

We will never

We will never forget, our lives

We will know how it feels, all right
Your face to the wind, eyes to the rain
You're holding your head up

could be
Just mountains
And like a student I learn
That what is hot,
it will burn
And like a river I'll turn
For no good reason
Only the
time
Only the time will do
Give me the time
To be with
you
Mountains of time
I wish there could be
Just
mountains
Mountains ...

Babe, it's
true
I'm talking about me as you
There's a hole in the ocean
floor
That I'm sinking through
Babe, it's real
I'm talking about how
we feel
All the pain that we're going thru
Helps to keep it real
I
know you from before
Do you think, I don't?
I see you by yourself
Do
you feel alone
Babe, it's true
I'm talking about me as you
There's a
hole in the ocean floor
That I'm sinking thru
Babe, it's high
I'm
talking about tie-dyed
There's a hole in the polar-sky
I can see right
thru
I love you once again
Do you feel I don't
I want to take you
back
Will you take me home
I want the sun to shine
I want the sun to
shine
I want the moon to glow
I want the moon to glow
All the
time

Everyone
can say they're sorry
Everyone else but me
Everyone can have a good
time
Everyone else but me
Everyone can laugh
Everyone can
talk
Everyone can smile
And everyone can walk
Everyone can make a new
friend
Everyone else but me
Everyone can have a bad year
I don't have
to disagree
Everyone can laugh
Everyone can need
Everyone can
touch
And everyone can bleed
One fine day
Wrap your arms around
me
Where I lay
Let your air surround me
One last time
Just pretend
that I could
Be a part of your world
Everyone can say they're
sorry
Everyone else but me
Everyone can make a new start
Everyone else
but me
Everyone else but me ...

| See what becomes |
break it gently |
Tongue tied |
I'm
standing in a doorway
I can't recall the day
A voice comes out
from
nowhere
I hear somebody say
(like in a daze)
Ahh ... see what
becomes
I'm walking through a
snowfall
I'm just a little kid
I'm
going through some
hard times
like many of us did
(I'm in a
daze)
Ahh ... she what becomes
Ahh ... she what becomes
of
us

Anybody
could tell me baby
but ...
I'll wait
Anybody could tell me baby
but
...
I'll wait
Cause when you say it you will
Say it nicely
And when
you break it
You will make it gentle
You will,
Break it gently
You
will,
Break it gently
You will,
Break it gently
You will,
Break
it gently ...
I could turn to the grapevine baby
but ...
I'll
wait
Start listening to rumors maybe
but ...
I'll wait
Cause when
you say it you will
Say it softly
And when you break it
You will make
it gentle
You will,
Break it gently
You
will,
Break it gently
You will,
Break it gently
You will,
Break
it gently ...

And that's
why
I'm tongue tied:
Your love is real
And that's why
I'm moon
shy:
Your love is real
That's how it feels
Some will say
Live today
like there's
No tomorrow
Some will say
Come what may
You just have
to follow
But if your world
Comes tumbling down
I will be right
there
I will be right there
I will be ...
Right there
And I won't
hesitate
I won't make you wait
I will be there
And that's why
I'm
tongue tied
Your love is real
That's how it feels
Some will
say
Live today like there's
No tomorrow
Some will say
Come what
may
You just have to follow
But if your world
Comes tumbling down
I
will be right there
Yes if the world just brings
you down
I will be
right there
I will be ...
Right there

Songtexte Reasons to stay indoors |
| Reasons to stay
indoors |
If you won't come to the
party |
face |
You'll get
accepted into Yale
But they'll excuse you when you fail
You'll get a
scholarship to brown
But that color brings you down
You'll go to colgate
for a year
In the fresh air up there
You'll grow a habit hard to
please
From a semester overseas
You're really not quite well
You
know that
And everyone can tell
You know the reasons to stay
indoors
You don't need anymore
You remind me of a man
I once
was
And some say
I still am
You'll land a job right out of
school
While your friends do something cool
You'll get politically
involved
But your actions lack resolve
You'll play the loner for
awhile
Dressed in black and creepy vibes
You'll stay inside for weeks on
end
With imaginary friends
You know that
And everyone can
tell
You know the reasons to stay indoors
You don't need anymore
You
remind me of a man
I once was
And some say
I still
am

You wanna
know
Who's gonna go
Who's gonna show
You wanna say
Maybe next
time
You say you might
Stay in tonight
But I will say
You're
out of your mind
If you won't come to the party
On grounds of nothing
to wear
All the beautiful people
And I will be there
You wanna
find
Some private time
You underline
The week has been
Grinding you
down
But if you go
I'm gonna show
Just how I feel
I'm head over
heels
If you won't come to the party
On grounds of nothing to
wear
All the beautiful people
And I will be there
And when I
arrive
I look for your eyes
I'm hoping to see
You looking for
me

Everytime I
look at your face
There's a vibe that's coming thru
Everytime you look at
my face
Girl, I hope you feel it too
I could never do much
harm
With you beside me
I could never go much wrong
With you to guide
me
Driving into New York city
And my heart begins to soar
Driving
into New York city
From a trip upstate New York
I could never get too
cold
With you to hold me
I could never grow too old
For you to hold
me
Like a book you forget
That you recently read
Everytime I
look at your face
There's a vibe that's coming thru

| Half of the time |
Once upon a year |
Fearlist |
Half of the
time
I don't know much
Out of touch
Out of touch
Half of the
time
I see no reason
To say much
To say much
Half of the
time
I don't know why
Don't know where
Don't know when
Some of the
time
I just pretend
To a stranger or a friend
Half of the
time
I'm just not there
Out of reach
Out of reach
Half of the
time
I get no closer
So to speak
So to speak
Half of the
time
I don't know why
Don't know where
Don't know when
Some of the
time
I'm undecided
And divided once again

Once upon a
year
We had a boy
Our boy
Boy
Once upon a day
It started
raining
No complaining
Just rain
Once upon a park
We took a
walk
And talked
And talked
Once upon a house
We lived
awhile
Inside
Instyle
I couldn't believe it
I couldn't conceive
it
Once upon a year
We had a boy
Our boy
Boy
Once upon a
road
We took a drive
To the seaside
For an ocean drive
I
couldn't believe it
I couldn't conceive it
What I was about to
say
That was not an easy thing to play
What I was about to do
Was to
let you know that we both love you

It's so
itchy that you have to itch
It doesn't matter if it bleeds
It's so lonely
that you lose the grip
In a momentary bliss
In a momentary
bliss
Did you spill the milk
Did the milk spill
Were you late for
work
Did your head hurt
Did your mind ache
Did the daybreak
did
your car stall
Did the waterfall
It's so hurtful that you have to
laugh
People ask you what it is
It's so pointless that you wanna
cry
In a momentary bliss
In a momentary bliss
Did you lose the
bet
Did the sunset
Did the tide turn
Did you sunburn
Did you spill
the milk
Did the milk spill
Did she run away
On a summer's
day

| I would not change a
thing |
Paramount |
The one that got away |
Everyday,
down the street
Where we live
We walk, we talk
Watching each day go
by
It may not seem much
From the outside in
But there you
are
It doesn't say who we are
And baby
I wouldn't change a
thing
You couldn't change a single thing
Without it affecting
everything
I would'nt change a thing
Every week, afternoons
Give
or take
We hone our trade
Taping the songs we've made
And at
night
When we turn out the light
Next to me
You're watching
A late
night show
And I go
I wouldn't change a thing
You couldn't change
a single thing
Without it affecting everything
I would'nt change a
thing

Why do we
always
Talk about it
Why can't we ever scream
And shout it
'Cause I
wanna feel it
Running thru my veins
Driving me insane
Why must it
always be like this
Nobody else could catch your drift
Why must you
always be so sure
God knows
You've messed up times before
Why must it
always have to wait
It forces me to state
Paramount
It's not paramount
I guess
When did you whisper
To me goodnight
Didn't you
mention
It would be alright
But it's getting harder
Hearing what you
say
Hey that's okay
Why must it always bee like this
Nobody else
could catch your drift
Why must you always be so sure
God knows
You've
messed up times before
Why must it always have to wait
It forces me to
state
Paramount
It's not paramount I guess

The one
that got away
The one they couldn't save
The one that had to pay
Why
it has to be ...
The one that crossed the line
The one that saw the
sign
The one that did the time
It's way beyond me
You don't
respond to people
Who wants the best for you
It's something
that
You're wrking thru
Walking by a house
Where the roof has fallen
in
You say finally the stars
Can shine on in
The one that moved
along
The one that set the tone
The one that came undone
Right in
front of you
The one that made the call
The one that took the
fall
The one that had it all
But couldn't see it thru

| Against the sun |
Five million years |
Overgrown |
Your
face
Is turned against the sun
Your mind
Is turned to everyone
The
journey
That you started on
Has just begun
The sky is
clear
Without a cloud
And soon enough
You'll find out
What that's
all about
We have thought about you
Before you could be seen
Just
a little heartbeat
Going bleep bleep on a screen

Hundred
million years ago
The dinosaurs
That walked the earth
Were so
slow
So slow
Hundred million years ahead
Luchie puts her sleepy
son
To bed
To bed
Isn't it a fact
We're a secret pact
You
finish off my sentences
You soothe my nervous tendencies
Isn't it a
sign
When the stars align
Driving to a shopping mall
No need to
buy
We have it all
Hundred million years ago
The dinosaurs
That
walked the earth
Were so slow
So slow
Hundred million years
ahead
She's landing kisses
On her newborn
Baby's head
Baby's
head
Isn't it a fact
We're a secret pact
You finish off my
sentences
You soothe my nervous tendencies
Isn't it a life
You became
my wife
I'm hiding in your atmosphere
I'm shooting thru your
stratosphere
Five million years

And he got
so low
Lower that a man in China
Juming in the air
And so hard to
know
Wether or not the end was
Drawing near
Oh well
20th
century overload's coming thru
All right
20th century overload's getting
you
And that's so long ago now
And it's all overgrown somehow
And
it got so grey
Greyer than a monday morning
Going back to work
It was
hard to say
Wether or not you're acting
Like a jerk
Oh
well
20th cetury overdrive's coming thru
All right
20th century
overload's getting you
And that's so long ago now
And it's all overgrown
somehow
