bent

if i fall along the way
pick me up and dust me off
and if i get too tired to make it
be my breath so i can walk

if i need some other love then
give me more than i can stand
and when my smile gets old and faded
wait around i'll smile again

shouldn't be so complicated
just hold me and then
just hold me again

can you help me i'm bent
i'm so scared that i'll never
get put back together
keep breaking me in
and this is how we will end
with you and me... bent

if i couldn't sleep could you sleep
could you paint me better off
could you sympathize with my needs
i know you think i need a lot

i started out clean but i'm jaded
just phoning it in
just breaking the skin

start bending me
it's never enough
til i feel all your pieces
start bending me
keep bending me until i'm completely broken in

shouldn't be so complicated
just touch me and then
just touch me again

can you help me i'm bent
i'm so scared that i'll never
get put back together
keep breaking me in
and this is how we will end
with you and me landin

well i'll understand and hell i'll go down again

push

she said i don't know if i've ever been good enough
i'm a little bit rusty, and i think my head is caving in
and i don't know if i've ever been really loved
by a hand that's touched me, and i feel like something's gonna give
and i'm a little bit angry, well

this ain't over, no not here, not while i still need you around
you don't owe me, we might change it
yeah we just might feel good

i wanna push you around, well i will, well i will
i wanna push you down, well i will, well i will
i wanna take you for granted, i wanna take you for granted
i will, i will

she said i don't know why you ever would lie to me
like i'm a little untrusting when i think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
and i don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
you couldn't stand to be near me
when my face don't seem to want to shine
cuz it's a little bit dirty, well

don't just stand there, sayin nice things to me
cause i've been cheated, i've been wronged, and you
you don't know me, well i can't change
well, i won't do anything at all

oh but don't bowl me over
just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so crazy, crazy
don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

back 2 good

It's nothin
It's so normal
You just stand there
I could say so much
But I don't go there cuz I don't want to
I was thinkin if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point we would think so

And everyone here
Knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
Well, it's best if we all keep it under our hats And I couldn't tell if anyone here was feelin the way I do
But I'm lonely now
And I don't know how to get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me, well
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
Yeah, but things worked out just like you wanted...too
If you see me out you don't know me,
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
Ah, to figure out just what I'm gonna do

Cause everyone here
Hates everyone here for doing just like they do
And it's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell
Why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

And everyone here
Is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
And everyone here's to blame
And everyone here gets caught up in the pleasure or the pain
Yeah, well, everyone here hides shades of shame
Yeah, but looking inside we're the same, we're the same
And we're all grown now,
Yeah, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here
Knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
And it's best if we all keep this
Under our heads, yeah, our heads
Yeah, see, I couldn't tell now
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now
Yeah. I don't know how
Guess it's over now
There's no getting back to good

real world

well, i wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
i wonder what it's like to know that i made the rain
i'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
and you can come and see them when i'm...done, when i'm done

well, i wonder what it's like to be a super hero
i wonder where i'd go if i could fly around downtown
from some other planet, i get this funky high on yellow sun
boy i bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

yeah, straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
if i were someone else, would this all fall apart?
strange, where were you, when we started this gig?
i wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

to you, and you to me

well, i wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
i wonder what i'd do if they all did just what i said
well, i'd shout out an order,
"i think we're out of this man get me some
boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone"

please don't change, please don't break
the only thing that seems to work at all is you
please don't change, at all from me
to you, and you to me

yeah, straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
if i were someone else, would this all just fall apart?
strange, where were you, when we started this gig?
i wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

i wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
i wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
and you, and me

if you're gone

i think i've already lost you
i think you're already gone
i think i'm finally scared now
you think i'm weak - i think you're wrong
i think you're already leaving
feels like your hand is on the door
i thought this place was an empire
now i'm relaxed - i can't be sure

and i think you're so mean - i think we should try
i think i could need - this in my life
i think i'm scared - i think too much
i know it's wrong it's a problem i'm dealing

if you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
there's an awful lot of breathing room
but i can hardly move
if you're gone - baby you need to come home,oh come home
there's a little bit of something me
in everything in you

i bet you're hard to get over
i bet the moon just won't shine
i bet my hands i can stay here
i bet you need - more than you mind

and i think you're so mean - i think we should try
i think i could need - this in my life
i think i'm just scared - that i know too much
i can't relate and that's a problem i'm feeling

if you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
there's an awful lot of breathing room
but i can hardly move
if you're gone - baby you need to come home,oh come home
there's a little bit of something me
in everything in…………………… you

i think you're so mean - i think we should try
i think i could need - this in my life
and i think i'm scared - do i talk too much
i know it’s wrong it's a problem i'm dealing

if you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
there's an awful lot of breathing room
but i can hardly move
if you're gone – hell, baby you need to come home
there's a little bit of something me
in everything in you, everything in ….in you
