kryptonite

i took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
i left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
i watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
i feel there is nothing i can do... yeah

i watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
after all i knew it had to be something to do with you
i really don't mind what happens now and then
as long as you'll be my friend at the end

if i go crazy then will you still call me superman?
if i'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
i'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
kryptonite

you called me strong
you called me weak but still your secrets i will keep
you took for granted all the times i never let you down
you stumbled in and bumped your head
if not for me then you'd be dead
i picked you up and put you back on solid ground

if i go crazy then will you still call me superman?
if I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
i'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
kryptonite

be like that

he spends his nights in california
he spent his whole life being to young
watching the stars on the big screen
to live the life that's in his dreams
then he lies awake and he wonders
at night he lies awake and he wonders
why can’t that be me
cause in his life he is filled
with all these good intentions
he’s left a lot of things
he’d rather not mention right now
but just before he says goodnight
he looks up with a little smile at me
and he says

if i could be like that
i would give anything
just to live one day
in those shoes
if i could be like that
what would i do
what would i do

now and dreams we run
she spends her days up in the north park
watching the people as they pass
and all she wants is just
a little piece of this dream
is that too much to ask
with a safe home, and a warm bed
on a quiet little street
all she wants is just that something to
hold onto, that’s all she needs
yeah!

if i could be like that,
i would give anything
just to live one day
in those shoes
if i could be like that
what would i do

i’m falling into this, dreams
we run away

if i could be like that
i would give anything
just to live one day, in those shoes
if i could be like that
what would i do

if i could be like that
i would give anything
just to live one day
in those shoes
if i could be like that
what would i do

if i could be like that
what would i do
falling in
i feel i am falling in
to this again

not enough

seven days underpaid
gotta give it up
got no time for this life that
i’m livin’ up
shackled down, kicked around,
now slave to the grind
need some time for myself
i’ll give you anything that you want me to
but i don't have the time so
i’ll get up with you
but i don't understand man
you’ve got to believe
there is too much of you but
there is not enough of me
there is not enough of me
same old song world moves
on while i’m still in bed
meet tomorrow today just to
get ahead
jump the gun on the run,
i’m the only one
who thinks that
i’m fallin’ behind?
i’ll give you anything that
you want me to
but i don't have the time
so i’ll get up with you
but i don't understand
man you’ve got to believe
there is too much of you
but there is not enough of me
there is not enough of me
i’ll give you anything that you want me to
but i don't have the time so i’ll
get up with you
but i don't understand man
you’ve got to believe
there is too much of you there
is too much of me
i’ll give you anything that you want me to
but i don't have the time so i’ll
get up with you
but i don't understand man
you’ve got to believe
there is too much of you but there
is not enough of me

duck and run

to this world i'm unimportant just
because i have nothing to give
so you call this your free country
tell me why it cost so much to live
tell me why

this world can turn me down
but i wont turn away, oh no
and i wont turn around

all my work and endless measures
never seem to get me very far
walk a mile just to move an inch
now even though i'm trying so
damn hard
i'm trying so hard

this world can turn me down but i
wont turn away
and i wont duck and run, cause
i'm not built that way
when everything is gone there is
nothing there to fear
this world cannot bring me down
no cause i am already here, oh no!

i'm already here, down
on my knees
i'm already here, oh no,
i'm already here
i must have told you a thousand
times i'm not running away

i wont duck and run
no, no, no pass away

this world can turn me down but i
wont turn away
and i wont duck and run, cause
i'm not built that way
when everything is gone there is
nothing there to fear
this world cannot bring me down
no, cause i'm already here
this world can turn me down
but i wont turn away
and i wont duck away
cause i'm not built that way

when everything is gone there
is nothing there to fear
this world cannot
bring me down
no cause i'm already here

looser

breathe in right away
nothing seems to fill this place
i need this everytime
so take your lies get off my case
someday i will find
a love that flows through me like this
and this will fall away, this will fall away

you're getting closer, to pushing me
off of life's little edge
cause i'm a loser
and sooner or later you know i'll be dead
you're getting closer, you're holding
the rope and taking the fall
cause i'm a loser, i'm a loser, yeah

this is getting old
well i can't break these chains that i hold
my body's growing cold
there's nothing left of this mind or my soul
addiction needs a pacifier
the buzz of this poison is taking me higher
and this will fall away, this will fall away

you're getting closer, to pushing me
off of life's little edge
cause i'm a loser
and sooner or later you know i'll be dead
you're getting closer, you're holding
the rope and i'm taking the fall
cause i'm a loser
well i'm a loser

you're getting closer
to pushing me off of lifes little edge
cause i'm a loser
and sooner or later you know i'll be dead
you're getting closer
you're holding the rope and i'm taking the fall
cause i'm a loser

away from the sun

it's down to this
i've got to make this life make sense
can anyone tell what i've done
i miss the life
i miss the colors of the world
can anyone tell where i am

cause now again i've found myself
so far down, away from the sun
that shines into the darkest place
i'm so far down, away from the sun again
away from the sun again

i'm over this
i'm tired of living in the dark
can anyone see me down here
the feeling's gone
there's nothing left to lift me up
back into the world i've known

cause now again i've found myself
so far down, away from the sun
that shines into the darkest place
i'm so far down, away from the sun
that shines to light the way for me
to find my way back into the arms
that care about the ones like me
i'm so far down, away from the sun again

oh no
yeah
oh no...

it's down to this
i've got to make this life make sense
and now i can't tell what i've done

and now again i've found myself
so far down, away from the sun
that shines to light the way for me

cause now again i've found myself
so far down, away from the sun
that shines into the darkest place
i'm so far down, away from the sun
that shines to light the way for me
to find my way back into the arms
that care about the ones like me
i'm so far down, away from the sun again

oh no
yeah
i'm gone

when i'm gone

there's another world inside of me
that you may never see
there's secrets in this life
that i can hide
somewhere in this darkness
there's a light that i can't find
maybe it's too far away...
maybe i'm just blind...

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
and love me when i'm gone
everything i am
and everything in me
wants to be the one
you wanted me to be
i'll never let you down
even if i could
i'd give up everything
if only for your good
so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
you can hold me when i'm scared
you won't always be there
so love me when i'm gone
love me when i'm gone...

when your education x-ray
can not see under my skin
i won't tell you a damn thing
that i could not tell my friends
now roaming through this darkness
i'm alive but i'm alone
part of me is fighting this
but part of me is gone

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
and love me when i'm gone
everything i am
and everything in me
wants to be the one
you wanted me to be
i'll never let you down
even if i could
i'd give up everything
if only for your good

maybe i'm just blind...

here without you

a hundred days have made me older
since the last time that i saw your pretty face
a thousand lives have made me colder
and i don't think i can look at this the same
but all the miles that separate
they disappear now when i'm dreaming of your face

i'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
i think about you baby
and i dream about you all the time
i'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
and tonight, there's only you and me

the miles just keep rolling
as the people leave their way to say hello
i've heard this life is overrated
but i hope that it gets better as we go

i'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
i think about you baby
and i dream about you all the time
i'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
and tonight girl, there's only you and me

everything i know and anywhere i go
it gets hard but it won't take away (yeah yeah yeah) my love
and when the last one falls
when it's all said and done
it gets hard but it won't take away my love

i'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
i think about you baby
and i dream about you all the time
i'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
and tonight girl, there's only you and me
