Album: So Happily Unsatisfied [2002]
| Favorite Song | |
|
What if everything you had
Was like a castle made of sand
Why don't you open up your hand
And hold on tight
What if everything was wrong
And no one knew your favorite song
There is no one left to sing along
With you tonight
Everything is alright
I will see you tonight
Everything you want
Is in your hands
And I can't help you decide
The battles you fight inside
And what hurts you
You don't understand
And it feels like there is nothing right
And it's all the same to you anyways
What if everything you had
Was like a castle made of sand
Why don't you open up your hand
And hold on tight
What if everything was wrong
And no one knew your favorite song
There is no one left to sing along
With you tonight
The better place you wished for
Is just outside your front door
Still it never seemed so far away
Summer gave no reward
Until this day was dreamed for
Wait to feel the sunlight
On your face
And it feels like there is nothing right
And it's all the same to you anyways
What if everything you had
Was like a castle made of sand
Why don't you open up your hand
And hold on tight
What if everything was wrong
And no one knew your favorite song
There is no one left to sing along
With you tonight
You never know what to say
So you run in your hideaway
I see the shadow falling in the summer sun
So you never know what to say
It doesn't matter anyway
You'll heal inside
You'll feel this time
And if everything you had
Was like a castle made of sand
Why don't you open up your heart
And hold on tight
And if everything was wrong
I would sing your favorite song
And you would have to sing along
With me tonight
Sing along with me tonight x 2
What if everything was wrong
And no one knew your favorite song

| Good Friend | |
|
I used to think that you were someone else
Then I'd loose my mind each day
I used to think that I could help myself
But it's true
What they say
There is no reason without a way
This is
Good bye to you and me
What a good friend you've been to me
And I owe it all to you
Every good thing that I do is you
I used to wish that I was someone else
Then I'd dream away the day
Those dreams have made me into someone new
And it's true what they say
There is no better time than today
If this is
Good bye to you and me
What a good friend you've been to me
And I owe it all to you
Every good thing that I do is you
I am here
I need to say
That I will miss you
Everyday
And it's true what they say
There is no better time than today
If this is
Good bye to you and me
What a good friend you've been to me
If this is
Good bye to you and me
Well what good friends we will always be
And I owe it all to you
Every good thing that I do is you x 2
Its you
Every good thing that I do is you
Its you
Every good thing that I do
Well I owe it all to you
Every good thing that I do is

Now emily hides in a way
She is waiting for a
Knight in shining armor
And I know that nothing I'd say
Could make her see me
As a man of honor
But I am
Now sometimes I wish she could see through
All the rain and clouds that fill her sky
And know that tomorrow brings with wings
Of bird a song to fill her mind
And I am
Oh yes I am
Chorus:
The one who can sing
All of the dreams
The one who can make them all come true
If she would believe
I'm down on my knees
But in my hands I hold
Now emily stands at the door
A picture lies in pieces on the floor
The one where we walked on the beach
The wind blew waves
That crashed upon the shore
Oh we are
Forever more
Chorus:
The one who can sing
All of our dreams
The one who can make them all come true
If she would believe
I'm down on my knees
But in my hands I hold
Everything that she wants
Everything that should be
As far as her
Big blue eyes could see
If she would believe
I'm down on my knees
But in my hands I hold
What do you want me to do
My head in my hands
I wait for the words
To come and make you understand
So tell me I'm right
Tell me I touched you down
So deep inside
Now emily hides in a way
She is waiting for a
Knight in shining armor
And I know that nothing I'd say
Can make her see me
As a man of honor
Chorus:
I'm the one who can sing
All of our dreams
The one who can make them all come true
If she would believe
I'm down on my knees
But in my hands I hold
Everything that she wants
Everything that should be
As far as her
Big blue eyes could see
If she would believe
I'm down on my knees
But in my hands I hold
In my hands I hold
The ring

| Marvelous | |
|
So you've been well
I couldn't tell
I know you better
Remember when
Spoken back then
You'd come here again
I must admit I wasn't loving
And I was running from myself
Do seasons changing stir old feelings
And in conversation
Does my name still come up?
Was I marvelous?
You should have asked yourself before you turned me down
Your name still comes up
You are marvelous
I should have told myself before I let you down
You're marvelous
So I've been fine
Living my life
Though I've been better
So here's to you
Breathing a new
Neglecting a few
I must admit that you were loving
And I was searching for myself
Do seasons changing stir old feelings
And in conversations
Does my name still come up?
Was I marvelous?
You should have asked yourself before you turned me down
Your name still comes up
You are marvelous
I should have told myself before I let you down
You're marvelous
You're marvelous
So how are you going to feel when you know it's so true
You'll think of me when you say I do
Excuse my state of mind
Did I spoil your valentine?
For all the length we've walked in these shoes
Eternal faith you've lost in me through
When you're walking down the aisle
You won't stretch another mile
The memories you visualize
You were marvelous once
My name will come up
I am marvelous
You should have told yourself before you let me down
Your name still comes up
You are marvelous
I should have told myself before I let you down
The memories you visualize
You were marvelous one time

| Still Here | |
|
You hold tight to your tomorrow
Cuz there's no one here except yourself
I did not come to beg or borrow
Were you expecting someone else
And I will be there to soften your fall
And I will be there for the good of it all
I will not let you feel you've wasted all your time
And every day we have is one more day that you'll be mine
If my life is a flight and a crash in the sea
I'm still here but I can not speak the words
They say the rain will always follow
When you're lost inside yourself
The truth is not so easily swallowed
When you left me for someone else
And I will be there to soften your fall
And I will be there in the thick of it all
I will not let you feel you've wasted all your time
And every day we had was one more day that you were mine
If my life is a flight and a crash in the sea
I'm still here
Born with a heart defect
I am a father's son
One day I will be here
The next day I'll be gone
So could I steal a moment of your time
A dreamer's eyes are always open wide
I will not let you feel you've wasted all your time
And every day we have is one more day that you'll be mine
If my life is a flight and a crash in the sea
I'm still here
I'm still here

| The Joneses | |
|
Keeping up with the joneses
Keeps you keeping out
As long as you have the will to get along
And what you do for you is never wrong
So don't you worry
Don't you worry
And I was never keen enough
As long as this time is still ticking on the clock
But when your pretty face won't be enough
Then I won't you want you won't to want to
You're wearing your corduroys and your diamond tooth
But you couldn't relate to the girl with the silver spoon
The lies that you're telling me are always true
It's true
You made a fool of me for believing you
So keeping up with the joneses
Keeps me hanging on
As long as I have the will to get along
And what I do for you is always wrong
But don't you worry
Don't you worry
Cuz I would never give it up
As long as this time's still ticking on the clock
But when your pretty face won't be enough
Now won't you want to won't you want to
I love you the most when you are fast asleep
And whatever I do for you I'm still the creep
I realize that I'm not good enough
It's tough for sensitive men in a world that don't give a fuck
So keeping up with the joneses
Keeps me hanging on
As long as I have the will to get along
And what you do for you is never wrong
But don't you worry
Don't you worry
Cuz you would never give it up
As long as the time's still ticking on the clock
But when your pretty face won't be enough
Then I won't you want to won't you want to
Now even your corduroys are faded through
And when you're walking away
Well I think it's a better view
The lies that you tell yourself
Are always true
So true
And you keep on talking till your face is blue
Keeping up with the joneses
Keeps you hanging on
As long as you have the will to get along
And what you do for you is never wrong
So don't you worry
Don't you worry
And I would never give it up
As long as this time's still ticking on the clock
But when your pretty face won't be enough
Now won't you want you won't you want you don't you want you don't you want to

| Don't Look Back | |
|
How does it feel up there
Breathing in the fine air
You can't look down
But you do not care
When every face knows
The lonely place you've become
And you can dream up there
With your soul laid bare
And close your eyes
On the life you share
And you can pretend that it won't mean a thing
When it's gone
Cuz now you see
You're so good looking
You should be on tv
But now you're on the radio
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling
Don't look back
Don't look back
How does it feel up there
Breathing in the fine air
You can't look down
But you do not care
When every face knows
The lonely place you've become
And you can dream up there
With your soul laid bare
And close your eyes
On the life that you share
And you can pretend that it won't mean a thing
When it's gone
Cuz now you see
You're so good looking
You should be on tv
But now you're on the radio
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling you
When you hear me calling you
When you hear me calling you
I know that nobody knows
Where it comes from
Or where it goes
Or the time you will find
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling
Don't look back
Don't look back
When you hear me calling you
You hear me calling you
You hear them calling you
You hear them calling you
You hear them calling you

| I Feel Fine | |
|
Breathing out and breathing in
Is harder than it's ever been
For me
God I think you're beautiful
You're stirring every chemical in me
And I see you standing here
And I can't believe it
Whispering a symphony
And I think you mean it
But there you go again
Walking out on me
But I will be okay
I will be okay
Cuz I feel fine
Long ago I dreamt of you
The memories are nothing new to me
And now you're coming back to me
You're everything I wanted you to be
But I see you talking here
And I can't believe it
I try to make it clear
That I think you mean it
But there you go again
Drifting out on me
But I will be okay
I will be okay
Where were you yesterday ?
Why did you run away ?
What did you do for me ?
You believe it for so long
But now you're back again
And I won't let you in
Cuz I will be okay
I will be okay
I will be okay
I will be okay
Cuz I feel fine
Yeah I feel fine
I've never been better
Yeah I feel fine
I've never been better

Fading like a wilted flower
Even in our finest hour
All the dreams you realize
Are sleeping here with me tonight
Hhmmmmm
Words are falling off the pages
Letters kept locked like birds in cages
Feeling like I've lost my mind
Here forever missing you
In dreams of lavish gifts we hide
But if you'd wake up near me here
You'll find that
Chorus:
I would be the water of waves in
Oceans crashing on the shores of your body,
Am forever sinking in your sand.
Don't have to look much farther,
Standing strong for you ,
I'd steal all the salt from the raging sea,
To bring back loves divinity today
Pieces fall along the way
Scattered thoughts of yesterday
If I could find a way
To put this back together again
A dream you keep inside your mind
And if you wake up near me
You will find
Chorus:
I would be the water of waves in
Oceans crashing on the shores of your body,
Am forever sinking in your sand.
Don't have to look much farther,
Standing strong for you ,
I'd steal all the salt from the raging sea,
To bring back loves divinity today
Look what you've got
Look what you've got
Cause you're not getting any younger than
Today
Fading like a wilted flower
This could be our finest hour
All the dreams you realize
Are sleeping here with me tonight
Chorus:
I would be the water of waves in
Oceans crashing on the shores of your body,
Am forever sinking in your sand.
Don't have to look much farther,
Standing strong for you ,
I'd steal all the salt from the raging sea,
To bring back loves divinity today
Look what you've got
Look what you've got

| Beautiful | |
|
You're beautiful,
Just like mary's son,
You spin around me like the earth to the sun...
And everything is a word I need,
Because without it I'm just like a disease
Slowly fading...
Chorus:
Could it be that you want more than your place in the sun?
Could it be you've reached the end and you've only begun?
I will not waste my time here,
I will not waste my life here,
Waiting for you...
You're beautiful unlike anyone,
Like a whisper and a breeze you were gone.
You're everything that the heart would sing,
And now without you I'm just like a disease,
Slowly fading...
Chorus
You were faded,
Overrated,
But your beautiful this time...
Could it be that you were more than your place in the sun?
Could it be you've reached the end and you've only begun?
I will not waste my time here...
Chorus
Cuz' you're faded,
Overrated,
Cuz' you're beautiful this time...
You're so beautiful this time...
Yes you're beautiful this time...
You're so beautiful...
Yeah
Dodadoodoodoodoodoo
Dodadoodoodoodoodoo
Dodadoodoodoodoodoo
Dodadoodoodoodoodoo...

| Everything | |
|
I wont let you down,
If I'm not around
And you will be free,
And I will be myself
I wont fill your eyes with tears,
If I lose all my fears
But who would I be?
And would you recognize me?
Tell me who would you see?
When you say...
That I would be ours and you would be mine
And everything else here would work out just fine
If you could hold on, I could be everything
I could be everything...
I cant make up my mind, believe me I've tried
But I cant hold on...
I wont fill your eyes with tears, if I lose all my fears
But who would I be? and would you recognize me?
Tell me who would you see?
When you say...
(repeat chorus)
I know that there's nothing in this world that you've known,
That I've shown, that could hurt you this way
And I wish that I had no part in this play,
And that we hadn't wound up this way
For I'd say...
That I would be yours and you would be mine
And everything else here would work out just fine
If we could hold on, we could be everything
We could be everything,
Yes, we could be everything...

| Great Divide | |
|
Every moment
Is a memory
On and on until eternity
But as far as any eye can see
There's a great divide
Maybe we can find a way
To fall into each other's arms
And finally we can say nothing
Tired of making same mistakes
With the same old bullshit lines
So maybe me should say nothing
Every moment is our destiny
We can be just who we wanna be
Or as far as any eye can see
There's a great divide
Maybe we can find a way
To fall into each other's arms
And finally we can say nothing
Tired of making same mistakes
With the same old bullshit lines
So maybe we should say nothing
All we are is everything that we'll become
And might have been
All we are is everything that we'll become
And might have been
All we are is a
Moment passing on and on
And all we are is everything that we'll become
And might have been
Tired of making same mistakes
With the same old bullshit lines
So maybe we should say nothing
Maybe we can find a way
To fall into each other's arms
And finally we can say nothing
