"You don't know how you move me
Deconstruct me
And consume me
I'm all used up
I'm out of luck
I am starstuck
By something in your eyes
That is keeping my hope alive

But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know

I'll take or leave
The room to breathe
The choice to leave you
I'll throw away
A chance at greatness
Just to make this
Dream come into play
I don't know if I'll find a way

'Cause I'm sick of myself when i look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know

There's something in your eyes
That is keeping my hope alive
Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know"

Look at you you're just as blind
Trying to grab your little piece of mind
And you want to hold it near
But you know you can't keep it
Say a little should suffice
But more than a little of you is so nice
And you give me what I want

Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Well I find it all the time
But Not when I need it

No two days are quite the same
I look at me life I really can't complain
And you come so easily

Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Well I find it all the time
Not when I need it

The feeling's getting out of hand
But I can't have you on demand
I can hang onto a dream
But I can't hold it

Late at night I'm filled with fear
That I can't take for granted that you'll
Always be near
And it makes me hate myself

To think I can't see it (not when I need it)
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Well I find it all the time
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Well I find it all the time
Not when I need it

I don't have to speak, and you know what I'm thinking.
You don't need to hear what I say.
I have to ask, 'cause you'll guess what I'm seeking.
You don't need to hide what you know.

Baby we're the same, when we fare in each other's eyes.
Baby we're the same, so you should not be surprised when I swear to you
I never told you what to do,
Maybe it's me, maybe it's you.

I dont' have to act so you'll know what I'm feeling,
you don't need to see to believe.

Baby we're the same, when we shine in each others' skies.
Baby we're the same, so you should not be surprised when I swear to you
I never told you what to do,
Sometimes it's me, Sometimes it's you.

Baby we're the same, when we fare in each other's eyes.
Baby we're the same, so you should not be surprised when I swear to you
I never told you what to do,
Maybe it's me, maybe it's you.
Maybe it's you...

Your depth of sadness was a gift
And for a while I cherished it
I'm tired of wasting my time away
So I'm giving it back to you
Giving it back to you

It takes a lot to keep you going
Wearing me down without you knowing
My will to fight has gone away
So I'm giving it back to you
Giving it back to you

I'm tired of wasting my time away
So I'm giving it back to you
Giving it back to you

I'm tired of wasting my time away
So I'm giving it back to you
Giving it back to you

Giving it back

It's a matter of choices
And a matter of time
For you it's a matter of drive

You will let nothing
Get in your way
You set to conquer
Each single day

(everything) Everything Changes (changes)
But change itself (change itself)
You can take out
What you think you know put it
Back on the shelf


And would you believe me
If I'd spoke my mind?
'Cause nobody gets there they just
Try, try, try

(everything) Everything Changes (changes)
But change itself (change itself)
Like a bird you'd sooner fly away
But you're stuck in yourself
(as everything) As everything Changes.... (changes..)

We stay the same
But we stay the same (stay the same)
You keep turning
Before long you're going to find out
What's in a name

So you look for the answer
Then pull it apart
Tear it up 'til there's nothing there
'Cause it hurts your heart

Everything Changes
And for what you lack
You keep turning
Before long you're going to find out
Everything Changes
It's not hard to tell
Like a bird you'd sooner fly away

Well I know you are dying to give me advice
Speak to me once or a hundred times
Those are words I cannot hear
Thinking looks good but I don't like the taste
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
But it was a thin veil
Dropped it like a tail
Jumped into my face
Creeping up behind
Lost my mind
You can't stomach the truth
And I only tell lies
You don't care if I live
I don't care if I die
So we follow the same sound
Standing on the ground
The Earth she treat me kind
Left my thoughts behind
Lost my mind

We follow the same sound
Standing on the ground
The Earth she treat me kind
Left my thoughts behind
Lost my mind

Next time it will be all of me (all of me)
Next time it will be all of me (all of me)
Next time it will be all of me (all of me)
Next time it will be all of me (all of me)
Next time it will be all of me

You try to win
At a game that has no winners
You try to learn
When nothing can be understood
You try to feel
When all feeling is gone

And you come to love
What you used to hate
You come to find
What you threw away

You thought that time
Would be your rock
And now this time
It is unlocked
Time will fly
If you can't let it go

And you come to love
What you used to hate
You come to find
What you threw away

When will you discover
Who you really are inside
Follow any other reason
you won't be satisfied

If time will fly
If you can't let it go
And you come to love
What you used to hate
You come to find
What you threw away

And you won't wait for long
'Cause you come to love
What you used to hate

When you look into a mirror
The reflection that you see
Is a shell of what you were
It's not who you want to be

But you're gonna change
You've just about made up your mind
(You're gonna change)
You're gonna change
And when you leave it all behind

What will the past remember?
What will the future bring?
When you walk out
When you walk out

You were brought into this world
With a head full of good ideas
But the person you became
Well you just couldn't be for real

But you're gonna change
You've just about made up your mind
(You're gonna change)
You're gonna change
And when you leave it all behind


What will the past remember?
What will the future bring?
When you walk out
When you walk out

But you're gonna change
You've just about made up your mind
(You're gonna change)
You're gonna change
And when you leave it all behind

What will the past remember?
What will the future bring?
When you walk out
When you walk out
When you walk out
When you walk out
When you walk out

You would never turn around
You're laughing at everything
That's bringing me down
Did you say you loved me?
I almost forgot, I almost forgot

That I will never be free
There'll always be something
Stuck inside of me
Did you say you felt that?

I almost forgot, I almost forgot
I almost forgot, I almost forgot
I almost forgot, I almost forgot

You knew me
Changed my name
If love leaves us for a moment
Is it gone forever?
Make up your mind

But then you should never have to choose
Whenever you win you know
I'm wishing you'd lose
So you know I love you

I almost forgot, I almost forgot
I almost forgot, I almost forgot
I almost forgot, I almost forgot

No Memory
Is quite the same
No gentle breeze
Can ease my pain

Lover you're the one
Super baby
You're the one
Super baby
You're the one

Promise you won't go far
I want you right where you are
I said it to your face
So it cannot be erased now

I got a hold
On destiny
Yeah I hear the sound
Of Liberty

Lover you're the one
Super baby
You're the one
Super baby
You're the one

Promise you won't go far
I want you right where you are
I said it to your face
So it cannot be erased now

A mountain higher
Than my dream
A dawn on fire
You will sing
You will sing

Lover you're the one
Super baby
You're the one
Super baby
You're the one

Promise you won't go far
I want you right where you are
I said it to your face
So it cannot be erased now

Who cares if they don't think your cool?
They make everything about rules
And your older than that now
Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay

Who cares if you don't know what you want
'Cause they don't know what they've got
And you cannot resist
Get older
Your memories won't slip away
And you'll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?

Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay
Resist
Get older
Your memories won't slip away
And you'll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?

If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want

There's a smog moon in the amber sky
Wavering and burning like a golden lie
I fell so far, i didn't think I'd make it back

And we all made as an after thought
Destined to believe that we are what we are not
I'm a fade, and I don't need to tell you that

Theres a smog moon coming I can always feel it
Cartoon trees cannot concieve it
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like

There's a lost man with a bitter soul
Only for a moment did life make him whole
He thought he was, he thought he was invicible

There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it
Cartoon trees cannot conceive it
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it, is white

They're not your words but you're reciting the lines
You don't mean a thing but you exist in their minds
How does it feel when they have turned out the lights
Cause you know they sooner would get rid of you, than fight

And the dark night has the strongest pull
We both know that staying young can take its toll
And you're afraid of finding out you're over that

There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it
Cartoon trees cannot conceive it
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like it is white
When it's high up in the sky it almost looks like
