wasting my time at the side of the road
never quite knowing where it’s go
i’m wondering, when it’s gonna end?
never knowing if it’s day or night
just trying hard to follow the light
knowing where i always begin
but you can’t see the start
when you’re so far apart
sitting here hoping that it’s gonna change
but knowing that nothing stays
nothing lasts forever
just hoping that it’s gonna be
where do you go and what’ll we be
i know it might not be together
and i don’t see how it can start
if we’re a thousand miles apart
everything will come back down
i don’t know when i’ll be back in this town
lighting sticks on fire just to watch ‘em burn
you can try but you just can’t turn away
from all that you haven’t been

it’s not good but it’s good enough
It’s not over but it’s gonna be tough for us
I can’t stand here just waiting in line
without knowing if there’s gonna be time -like there was
every day's the same
we watch the time slip away
from all the days we can't save
you told me you were wondering
how many days until we reached the end -of the road
silence falls like an atom bomb
every second’s a war for the end of wrld
times change, there’s nothing left to erase
some say, everything’s got to rearrange

its no great mystery
the way that we live
no time to breathe no time to forgive
i’m not much of a gambler
but i’ll place down my bets
we all spend too many nights trying to forget
but there’s no secret answer to find
to make it all okay to make it alright
you can spend your whole life waiting for a sign
passing by all the right times
now we’re just starting over before it even began
somehow we’re back at the end
come out of the shadows
show your face again
none of us knows where we should begin
i’m not a brilliant actor
your’e not waiting int eh wings
to see what i say to see where i run
to see if i do anything
but there’s no secret answer to find
to make it all okay to make it alright
you can spend your whole life looking for a sign
passing by all the right times

i’m seeing things that seem crazy
especially in these times
wondering who all these faces are
i know they aren’t my kind
and the days feel darker now, the weeks feel longer
and it’s always cold outside
tyranny is calling itself prodigy
with no regard--or any use for--pride
we thought it was all right then
but it doesn’t seem all right now
i don’t see how we’re ever gonna make it out
what world will we leave behind?
will we leave anything at all?
will the history books have us as a footnote
will they examine the fall?
hindsight’s probably 20/20
but that doesn’t mean you can’t look ahead
if we’re confusing conscience for weakness
we’re gonna end up dead
maybe this is the way things unravel
maybe it’s a brand new start
it seems like we have a long way to travel
before we tear all apart
sometimes the voices sound so angry
it doesn’t feel like it can be saved
but then the good reminds you that maybe it’ll all be okay

i wanted to know what you were doing there
to see if you might come back
but i don’t know if all i see and hear
can help answer any of that
With darkness always comes the cold
And it's calm before it rains
And everything's been gone a while
So it never feels the same
And once you find that open door
You gotta find out what it means
cause everything you’ve been looking for
might only live in in-betweens
Cause everything doesn't always fall
right where you'd think it would
And everyone can't answer the call
just like you thought they could
And you won't know until it's too late
How many tries you get at fate
I wanted to know what you were doing there
To see if we had a chance
But now that I've been thinking clear
I don't know why we'd ever go back

i look you in the eyes and ask you where you’ve been
but you just look away it’s getting hard to pretend
i’m getting kind of tired of running the same race
and only seeing signs written on your face
pick up my coat off the floor
i don’t care of it’s raining anymore
i’m walking out on this
i don’t want to fight i’ve done it too many times
i know how it’ll go, i know it line for line
it’s hard to just let go when things seem real good
but that’s not where we stand so what are we holding on to?

sometimes i can still hear the sound of your voice
ever so sweetly calling me back as if i had the choice
its just a memory but it feels, it feels so real
they say in time all these wounds will heal
i dont know whats real anymore
i stare out the window, your car’s not driving by
everything i wanted gone in the blink of an eye
most things don't last forever, it's cliché i know
but that doesn't mean you have to go
do you still love like you used to
do you still need me like i need you
do you still want me like you used to
do you still love like i love you
do you still want me like you used to
do you still need me like i need you
do you still want me like you used to
do you still love me like i love you

i don’t know why you said
some thing’s don’t last til the end
there’s a crack at the bend
and the rest’s loooking thin
don’t hold your breath
it’ll just mess with your head
i could lie here for days
hide in the imdsummer haze
with the crash of teh waves
i can let it all go away
don’t hold your breath
it’s just something i said
i can’t see where you’re going
i don’t know the road
before it’s too late
i hope you’ll let me know
don’t hold your breath
it won’t change a thing in the end

you can tell me your sign
and i'll tell you mine
and you can say we're gonna be together forever if the stars align
but i don't buy that the moons in the sky
have anything at all to do with you and i
this might be our last chance to get up dance
so don't sit there in the corner come on baby give me your hand
cause when this song ends and other begins
i can't promise somebody else won't be cutting in
and you don't think this is half as special as i know it is
you're just holding on to the moment like it’s never gonna give
but all things go my dear
no matter how much you want them near you
you really did your part
you should've known from the start
that only ends up in tragedy, it's like trying to part a sea that won't part
but can take heart, i'm no work of art
you'll be better off as soon as you realize we're ending apart

i've been trying hard to prove it but i'm not sure what it means
or who i'm offering proof to
or if it's what it seems
i'm begging for forgiveness, for what i don't know
but as the colors keep on changing i realize i've got to go
i've watched you seeking answers
looking for some kind of light
but you haven't found a thing yet to get you through the night
when it seems a door is closing it's hard not to look inside
someday you'll learn better
it's an instinct we all fight
what if we just left it here?
put our cards on the table and were true to our nature?
what's really stopping us is fear
it's the only thing keeping us from being sure

hiding behind the walls
walking these empty halls
but i can still hear you
so say what you wanna say
sometimes just for kicks
sometimes the meaning sticks
and it’s hard to know
when things are gonna go away
in the light you can’t see the shadows
but that doesn’t mean they fade
everything has a time
every fire runs out of light
and there’s no way to know
how long it’s gonna stay
in the dark you can’t see it coming
but that won’t make it go away
hiding behind the walls
walking these empty halls

i read all the letters you sent
i never knew what any of them meant
what was i supposed to say?
each one signed with your name
it always looks the same
you never really changed anything
but you want to
we can carve our name into the trees
we can talk about all your dreams
but it doesn't make this real
you ask if i'll stand at your side
and never go off to hide
you tell me you've never really felt loved
but you want to
i can tell you what you want to hear
i can take away all of your fears
but i can't make you believe a word i say
‘cause there’s dark and lonely days
when the whole world looks the other way
some people just end up alone
but you don't want to
