Relient K Album

How many times
Can I push it aside
Is it time I befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most
So they leave me alone
Move on with my life
Be certain the steps of left and right don't fight the direction of upright

I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
Pour over me and wash my hands of it

It's time to decide
Which is out of my mind
Cause it'll be me unless I put some thoughts to rest and leave some faults behind
I'll watch the glint in my eye
Shine off the spring in my step
And could be blinding depending on the amount of You that I reflect

Cause I could spend my life just trying to sift through
What I could've done better but what good do what ifs do
Oh oh
Oh oh
There's something I should tell you now

I listen to the sirens as they sing me back to sleep
I pray that no one's seriously hurt
It feels like everything is dying at the pivot point of me
I listen to the sirens tell me things could still be worse

Cause if you close your eyes and listen close
You can hear the chapter close
And it's all rebound in better clothes
And you like the way this story goes
Cause the sun still burns the shadows out
And there's nothing to complain about now

Cause if this was our destiny I'd treasure the fact
And I'd give you what's left of me if I'd held back

But I don't need a soul
No I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful

Departing from the hospital
Ill news shows on your face too well
You're trying not to cough at all it hurts
All options are exhausted all your numbered days are
numbered small
I miss you now
I loved you
And I know things could still be worse

To know her is to love her
I'm goin' undercover
To catch a glimpse but not get caught
But to see her could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought, I guess I'm not

She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
(who pales when they compare)

Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
For she outshines anyone whoever might
Dare to bask in the same candlelight

Oh, please don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady; I'm the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs close-by
Then flutters in the butterfly
You just a moth drawn to the lamp

She's like an ancient artifact
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around

A solar flare shines through her hair
it's so unfair when you compare
the one who's fairest of the fair

A solar flare shines through her hair
it's so unfair when you compare
the one who's fairest of the fair

I've been working with adhesives
Chains and locks and ropes with knots to tether
But nothing's taking to the pieces
I can't seem to hold it all together

But you should know
'Cause that explains why it all just fell apart

It's not the end of the world
Just you and me
We're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And if a nightmare ever does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold

I've been trying to ingest this
But everything to me just seems like nonsense
And I'm not sure if I can get it
I guess it's time for me to grow a conscience

To combat the lapse
That explains why all of this simply collapsed

It's not the end of the world
Just you and me
We're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And if a nightmare ever does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold

It's been forever since I've gone
But I'm the Cusack on the lawn of your heart

It may be forever 'til I go
But before then you should know
That I could tear that place apart
If you tear that place apart

I swear this to you

I wish that this was not the truth
But is something that you fell into
Crawling out is hard when you
Are not so sure it's what you want to do

I'm not convinced it's what you want to do

It's just the weight of the world
Giving out under the string
And we're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
When a nightmare finally shows

It's not the end of the world
Just a calamity
And we're a part of it, everyone
We're a part of it, everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold

I swear this to you
I wish that this was not the truth
But is something that you fell into
crawling out is hard on you
I'm not so sure it's what you want to do

When a nightmare finally does unfold
expect it is a lovely hand to hold
expect it is a lovely hand to hold

I'm not convinced it's what you want to do

When a nightmare finally does unfold
expect it is a lovely hand to hold

I never though I'd be driving through the country just to drive
With only music and the clothes that I woke up in

I never thought I'd need all this time alone it goes to show
I had so much yet I had need for nothing but you
But you

This is just therapy
Just call it what it is
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won't take my calls
And that makes God the only one who's left to listen in to me

Letting it all sink in
It's good to feel the sting now and again
I hope it's one less woeful thing there is to fight through
Forgetting it all begin
Fresh paper and nice expensive pen
The past can not subtract a thing from what I might do
For you
Unless that's what I let it do

This is just therapy
Just call it what it is
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won't take my calls
And that makes God the only one who's left to listen in

Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused
Cause I spend my solitude with you
I gather all the questions of the things I just can't get straight
And I answer them the way I guess you'd do

Cause this is my therapy
Cause you're the only one that's listening to me
This is my therapy
Let's call it what it is not what we were
With a death-grip on this life thats in transition
This is my therapy
Cause you won't hear me out and that makes God the only one who's left here to listen in

This is just therapy
Just call it what it is
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
This is just therapy
Cause you won't take my calls
And that makes God the only one who's left to listen in to me

I'll admit to who I am
The day I come to understand
I haven't got a clue
Been searching for a few years now

If I don't repeat myself
Then I'll change into someone else
Well I don't quite know who
Been searching for a few years now

I'm over it you're behind me now
I'm just over it
Over it, I'm finding out I'm just over it

No I don't know what's over just yet
But I won't go slow and time can let the mind forget

Don't tell me you don't know
Already


I'll protect your universe
And make a mess to make it worse
But time will only tell
You and no one else so

I'm over it, you're behind me now I'm just over it
Over it I'm finding out I'm just over it

No I don't know what's over just yet
But I won't go slow and time can let the mind forget

Don't tell me you don't know
Already
Don't tell me you let go
oh..oh..

You say you made up your mind and you finally decided
That those that helped you choose
Haven't the slightest clue as to the magnitude of what you're about to lose

I'm guarded and therefore I can endure
A little bit more, just a little bit more.
Than some people would
If not misunderstood

And still an attempt to be egoless while self-assured
If I'm still unsure that I'm pretty sure.
That I am pretty good
God you know I'm good and

I'm over it, you're behind me know
I'm just over it
Over it, yeah I'm finding out that I'm over it

No I don't know what's over just yet
But I won't go slow and time can let the mind forget

Don't tell me you don't know
Already
Don't tell me you let go
Already

Don't tell me you don't know
Already
Don't tell me you don't know
Don't tell me you don't know
Don't tell me you don't know

Lying on my side knowing of thirst is how I'll die chalk on my tongue
Lying on the night beneath the dunes is where I lie to block the sun
Trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside to overcome
This feeling of desertion can't be worse than never having anyone

So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back

A lion on his side was it the lying or his pride which brought him down?
Once the king of beasts but now they feast on the thoughts beneath his vacant crown
Trying to decide was it the lying or the pride which brought it down?
To be alone to be dethroned believe me I know all about it now

So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back

I never told you then that I'd be easy to love
Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub
I wandered into to the plains further and farther away
Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same

As my organs gave way I swear I felt something burst
It's been thirteen days and I'm dying of thirst.
As for the birds of prey I pray that someone else will get here first

I'm not alone, I'll be alright
Just take these bones and breathe them back to life

So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose

So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose (So I'll ask)
Don't ever turn me loose (One thing)
Don't ever turn me loose (One thing)
Even when I turn my back

Savannah
Savannah
Savannah
Savannah

mmmmm

Savannah
Savannah
Savannah

mmmmm

Savannah
I hope to be there by the morning
and see this pining all transforming
Into the arms of the Georgia sun

Savannah
I love to feel the heat the sunrise
Brushing rays across my windshield
The streams from off my face

Yet I know you'll be there because you'll know I'll want you to be there
And we'll say hello as you're smiling in love
And we'll sign so relieved I believe because we will both know by tonight we'll feel normal again
But until then
Until then
Until then

Savannah
Our backs supported by a hammock
We sum up perfection like a handbook
And God knows it all too well
Savannah
We'll take a walk to find a gift shop
Who would've thought the book that you bought
Would never come off the shelf

Baby
I spent my life wondering
Wondering when I'd find you
I searched for all these years and now you're right here
I need you to know that
Everything makes sense when you're with me

Savannah
Walk out into the sultry evening
Cotton breathing when the sea winds
Brush the hair down around your neck
Savannah
You hold my hand like it's the first time
And all the feelings that our hearts find
Will be just what we expect

Baby
It's all that I can do to
Thank you
Cause every time you wrapped those arms around me
I felt I was home cause
Everything made sense when you were with me

I got a chill and I wanted to say it was you
Be still because what I'm about to say is the truth
Unless we stretch until the point in nearly breaking in two
We'll never find our weakness coming on glue

A cracked sculpture I wanted to say it was you
Being vultures is why I feel the way I do
I fell in love and I wanted to say it was you
I wanted to say it was you

If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself

A sudden wind and I wanted to say it was you
I never been so confused about who knows the truth
It began when I wanted to say it was you
Cause I swore you had your head in this too

If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
You know it means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me

Because I'm here wondering what could you be thinking
Though I know you that you're thinking I wonder that all the time
I can still invade your thoughts when you're not with me
Yet don't mind me I'm just a parasite on your mind
Yeah don't mind me I know you're wondering all the time

If you believe me
We can stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me

I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it it's upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in

This may sound crazy but I want to come back home
That's it I said it now I'm sailing off to Neverland and then Japan

So think real slow
Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
About the way you want to go

Cause I may forget the way to get back home
This is the end if you want it

You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side

I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it it's upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in
If I was hasty maybe I was rushed along
I won't move into little boxes and then not get the itch to move on

So think real slow
Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
Melting prints of grass and snow
Means I may forget the way to get back home
Cause this is the end if you want it
This is the end

You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off

You'll take me home
Like my family did my father did I know
You'll think real slow
But don't forget the speed that I can go away
Cause this is the end if you want it
Yeah this is the end

I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be

I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes
Her hair had scales like silver serpents
I, a statue, stood there mesmerized

I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side

Blisters on my feet I crawled back home
Frozen from the sleet burned sand and stones
Nourished back to life by life alone
With one shake of the mane regain the throne
