Standing in the doorway of my life in this house. Trying to find a way to get out looking for a sign. That I should open the door. This craziness is getting me down.
Tomorrow's coming 'round. A hair-pin curve in the road. She's got a run in her stocking. And she's missing the heel of her shoe. . Got up this morning rolled out of bed.
I've been loving you a long time. Down all the years, down all the days. And I've cried for all your troubles. Smiled at your funny little ways. . We watched our friends grow up together.
Mom? are you there? are you sleeping? I'm so bummed. Maybe if I sing a little song you'll pick up. Sometimes I'm so afraid of my heart. Of it's constant hunger for whatever it is it wants.
A terrible thought has moved into my mind. Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine. It feeds on my happiness won't pay the rent. I must take proper measures to evict it.
I hear you in my head. All of the things that you said. I'm listening again and again. 'Cause I never used to think of you as a friend. . Now I hear it in my head.
One summer evening drunk to hell. I stood there nearly lifeless. An old man in the corner sang. Where the water lilies grow. And on the jukebox johnny sang.
I hear you in my head. All of the things that you said. I'm listening again and again. 'Cause I never used to think of you as a friend. . Now I hear it in my head.
I recall the moment. Before it slipped away. When 5 green queens. On a black bin bag. Meant all the world to me. . And I recall the moment. More distant than it seems.
This place feels so unfamiliar. And yet I know it well. I think I used to belong here. But the only way I can tell. . Is that I miss you still. And I cannot find you here.
I've seen tears in my mother's eyes,. I've seen anger in the working pace of my father's stride. And I wonder why.. . When all I feel is love inside. When all I feel is love inside.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed has been disconnected". . Are you afraid of love?. Are you afraid of me?. Are you afraid of love?. Is that why you retreat?.
It's time to get high open up the sky. I'll see you at the top of the mountain. Try to keep dry. From all this run. You know I'm getting deeper everyday.
I'm not a virgin anymore. I just thought you should know. Darlin' I've been around. Been up and down your block. In fact I have been all over town. Down by the lake.
Me and my friends, sittin' on the porch. Thinking about dinner, and we got some smokes. Yeah we like to pass 'em around. . Me and my friends we got a car.
Can you hear them?. They talk about us. Telling lies. That's no suprise. . Can you see them?. See right through them. They have no shield, no secrets to reveal.
Old man in the garden. Planting all his love. The berries toppled over. And the honeysuckle choked the road, yeah. . Went to the top of the levee. And we skipped rocks on the water.
You can close your eyes it's over now. It's over now. You can close your eyes it's over. . Baby, baby, baby. Make a wish. Tell me have you ever been afraid like this.
I'm feeling tired. I fell I've worked my hands to the bone. I stepped inside. With steel toes and a hard hat on, yeah. . I climbed inside and the air it reeked of oil.
