Third Eye Blind Album

Those horny and burned out now is how it always ends for me and
chemicals wearing me down in your summertime bacchanalian
I saw her go faster than the morning comes
she walks away like a lady
it's always the fallen ones I think are always gonna save me
I want to go
faster whoa
I wanna get off one time and not apologize
whoa I've gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by
And then she flexes her knees to try and abate the feeling
she mouths the words 'please' to the poster on the ceiling
I want to go faster and right in front of me
she stares at him so madly
she's got the nerve to say she wants to fuck that boy so badly
I saw her go
faster whoa
I wanna get off one time and not apologize
whoa I've gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by
whoa I wanna get off one time
oh I wanna get off one time and off one time
I was hoping you'd be there waiting for me
when I was waiting you were waiting
you were waiting for me
and i was hoping you'd be there waiting for me
when I was waiting for you
hoping you'd be waiting for me
I was hoping you'd be there waiting for me baby
I need your loving kinda way, a way nobody but me
and then I was hoping you'd be waiting for me
hoping you would be waiting for me
Oh I want to get off one time
Oh I get off one time
Oh wanna go
Whoa get off one time and not apologize
And not apologize!

Just an old friend coming over
Now to visit you and
That's what I've become
I let myself in
Though I know I'm not supposed to but
I never know when I'm done

And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor around your body glistens in the shower
And I wanna stay right here
And go down on you for an hour
Or stay and let the day just fade away
In a wild dedication
Take the moment of hope
And let it run

Never look back
At all the damage we have done now
To each other
To each other
To each other

But when I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
And I'm blinded
There's nothing left to do
and still I see you

I never believe that things that they happen for a reason
And they never go as planned
I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned
But you're past where you understand

Now her appetite is blown
Little else is known
'cept she's a little angry
Grabs a towel, looks away
The heat fades with the day
And I fall down on what to say
oh something clean, let me be clever
Hey oh well, whatever
But that's not what I mean
Where we're been has left us burnt still
I wont turn now from a fight
You know I'll never win

cos when I see you
you know all the things I've done
and I am blinded
Like I'm staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
Yeah!

(Hey! I'm Blinded!)

Time it passes and it tells us what we're left with
We become the things we do
Me, I'm a fool spent from defiance, yeah you got me but
I didn't give up on you
But the rest is not a t-shirt or a swan song, no
Heat is born again and
It's not easy being me
When I can't promise I will mend
Or bend when you believe
That we are fixed now from our birth
And I've just fallen back to earth
Still you know I'll try again
Cause I believe that we are lucky
We are golden
We have stolen manners in the days when we were one

So when I see you
In spite of all that we've become
I'm still blinded
But I'm still staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you

Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
Well I'm still staring down the sun
I'm blinded

When I see you

I couldn't believe it
Those sapphire eyes
Brilliant girl with the famous thighs
And the cameras click and then we are stars
We're laughing in the back of chauffeured cars
All the time on the phone and the voice is ours
Winter blooms with the summer flowers
I promised you what's ours is ours
Somewhere backstage with Shawn and Lars
I go crazy when you walk in the room
I laugh at myself with the girl on the film
And the taste of sex couldn't be too soon
All afternoon and
LA parties in the phony lands
Phony grabs with the manicured hands
I always thought you are pretty like a whip
I should've watched my step
Cuz I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Time ticks by, where'd you go?
You always knew where you were going to
So sweet for you, said please go with you
I see you throw down all your cards
Promises go into shards
Wait, did...did it go to my head?
We still sleep with the dogs on the bed
All these LA parties and the vodka fizz
This is not my life, or maybe it is
And I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Time ticks by, where'd you go?
Oh I make you doubt me
Oh I...You're better off without me
You better looking over your shoulder
Cuz there's someone younger and we're feeling older
You're crazy and you're never fading
Don't want to be so complicated
See my life come undone
Watch it go and let the damage run
I'd change the song now if I could
In the slickness of your blood
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself (where'd you go?)
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Whoa whoa whoa where'd you go?
Where'd you go now?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
Hello, hello, hello.......

I met you at the barricade
It's fever pitch where the crowd has gathered
You said the bow is breaking
You want to get some coffee or something and

Float by the crowd that scatters
I found my people and nothing else matters
Bullhorns and feed back in stormy skies
No one listens but it's so hot when you try

'cause you've got a taste for danger
It turns you on
Just take a look in your face
I know what's going on
(What's going on)
You like the taste of danger

Tiptoe through the riots
Vandals laced and braced for action
No sense, no consequence
You're a green stick fracture
Bounce back at you

You've got a taste for danger
So bring it on
Just take a look in your face
I know what's going on
(What's going on)
You like the taste of danger

Beggars stare at the brand new sneakers on the
Anarchists and celebrity speakers
These are improbable days my friends
Tomorrow's mundane
All good things must end
And the cops told the crowd they must disperse
Your pretty eyes fall as the tear gas burst
Here come the horses and we move along
Promise I'll see you but the moment is gone

You're shocked when the spray can splatters
Deliver us from the chumps and suckers
You and me killing time in the present tense
Bound together by someone to fight against

You've lost the taste for danger
And now it's gone
Just take a look in your eyes
I know that something's wrong
(What's going on)
You lost the taste for danger

I used to be a dissident citizen
I used to be a dissident citizen
I used to be a dissident citizen
You've lost the taste for danger
And now it's gone

(I used to be a dissident citizen)
You've lost the taste for danger
And now it's gone
(I used to be a dissident citizen)
You've lost the taste for danger
So bring it on
What's going on
(I used to be a dissident citizen)
You've lost the taste for danger

I close my eyes and I see a freak
I think it's me and I'm afraid to speak
So I keep on going from week to week
This way out in a lie

Dream of lives we could of had before
Heaters broke down, open doorways
Friends of yours will tell me more
What happens in your mind?

Can we try and take the high road?
Though we don't know where it ends
I wanna be your Crystal Baller
Wanna show you everything
Good

I like to make dreams in the afternoon
And I've been tuned a little speak too soon
Words jumped out of somebody's throat
What happened to the time?

A foot note in your dance club days
In my mind the record still plays
Still wonder what the fuck it says
I'm hoping there is time

Can we try and take the high road
Remember we were friends
I wanna be your Crystal Baller
Wanna be your diamond ring
Good

Can we talk about tomorrow? (some day you must awhile some days)
And the promise that it brings? (some day you must awhile some days)
Let me be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
I will show you everything (some day you must awhile some days)
Good

I wonder what the whole thing's for?
Oh!
I wonder what the whole thing's for?

When the moment you were speaking like
There must've been somebody else
And the pictures of the pub keep singing

I like to make dreams in the afternoon
And I've been tuned a little speak too soon
Words jumped out of somebody's throat
What happened to the time?

Dream of lives we had before
Heat is broke down, open doorways
Like waiting for the trick to score
It seems that way sometimes

I wonder where the will I'm going?
Homesick for your problem or
Wonder why the wind keeps blowing
You through my mind?

Can we try and take the high road (some day you must awhile some days)
Remember we were friends (some day you must awhile some days)
Wanna be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
Wanna be your diamond ring (some day you must awhile some days)

The one I never gave you (some day you must awhile some days)
And the promise that it brings (some day you must awhile some days)
Let me be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
I will show you everything (some day you must awhile some days)
Be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
Crystal Baller
Be your Crystal Baller
Crystal Baller

Feel the speed through the intersection
In sheets of rain I seek out cars
Hands in love with handlebars

Ride alone to the pub in the dark
I get a little wet but I don't have to park
And the lights they start flashing green and red as I ride
A car turns left and I slide
I can't turn back
I make contact
Blinkers smash into a mosaic
And I start flying

Always think we get more time
Now flying through the air
Maybe living maybe dying
In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind
Don't we always wish we had more time

I'm thrust slow mo through time and space
Details smash and
I protect my face
And then I see yours
And go to a time when we just knew

Mister death in the car below
Doesn't even slow
And away he goes
In the majesty of a motor crash
You skid into my darkness forming
Sex and death, heartbreak and strife
Well they give no warning

Always think we get more time
Now I'm flying through the air
And it's you who comes to mind
In the red lights and cathedrals there's a sign
Don't we always wish we had more time

Here it comes, my hit and run

Always think we get more time
Then you're flying through the air
With someone on your mind
And the shattered glass reflections there's a sign
Cause you were there
And I wish we had more time

I come down hard and roll to my feet
And rain washes blood now off concrete
People turn away and I just had to laugh
Cause I'm still flying
Living and dying

Always think we get more time
You're flying through the air
With someone on your mind
And this motorcycle crash, it is a sign
Cause you were there
And I wish we had more time (you were there)

Thank you mister death for what he's done
Cause I got to walk away from my hit and run (you were there)
Mysteries are not so empty now as they seemed
Cause I saw you
At my hit and run
At my hit and run

Hey girl, ...thumb sucking at the show
can you tell me where the green buds grow?
I like you, so you turn my life around

I lost myself outside again
with the sound burnin' through my head
drowned out way out in the crowd
and the crowd goes singin'

ooohhh
(sing)
oooohhh

My people are the misfits
the ones that don't fit in
with the smile ya know it comes within
I can feel you in the corner
standing where the light didn't go

Sayin'
tick tick, tell me where the time goes?
all night, no one moves much, too stoned
tick tick, tell me where the time goes
laaaa

well those are the ones for me
those are the ones for me
the misfits

well those are the ones for me

the misfits

Oooohhooohh

my people are the misfits
I won't let you down
I'll take a hit, whatever weed passed around (dont go home)
even moments that we're here and we're all around (well they're all around)

sing

tick tick, tell me where the time goes
all night no one moves much, too stoned
tick tick, tell me where the time goes
it goes, it goes it goes

well those are the ones for me

the misfits

well those are the ones for me

the misfits
the freaks
the enemy
you and me

whooooooooooo

I miss laying on the concrete floors
I miss the way it was before
No one even knew me
Your eyes look right through me
And I'm taking off your clothes
And you bloom like a rose

Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
Oh oh

Where the ocean meets the land
Is like the sliding of your hair
It prickles up my skin
I can feel the changing weather
I'm alone out on that coast
It sends memories of your ghost

Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
Oh oh oh

One thing that turns me off
One thing that trips me up
One thing...
One thing you'll never know
One thing I cannot show
One thing I'm never going

I go and walk alone
I found it on my own
I
I can't find release and
..
Don't know when I can go home

Through the airport corridors
See the magazines in stores
If I see that face once more
You know I can't ignore it
And I recognize that pose
When you bloom like a rose

Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you

And with the government... another month away
Messed up places where we always stay
And it's funny that we always pick these spots
Even with the have and the have-nots
Sleeping on cots
Wishin' that I had some tater tots
And there's postcards written that I never send
The memories gone and won't come again
My the souls that find no peace
Still I look to you to find release, find release, find release

(Jenkins)

Today I found my soul
I felt it die inside me yeah
I told you life is like dyno
I have your face in a photo in high school
And you were alive
And that's all I had
And I can't remember who I was myself then
And doesn't help
Still I look to you as a friend
To tell me
Who we are now, who we are
It's who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on the wake for young souls
Another lullaby go sing oh......

Well the wind that blows
It's blowing colder
And the child that grows
She's growing older
And the friends we know
They are behind us
But the friends we know
They're growing colder so

It's who we are now, who we are
It's who we are now ,who we are
Where does time go now on the wake for young souls
You tell me, who we are now, who we are
It's who we are now, who we are
Oh no now on the wake for young souls

Cycle of the moon brings blood to the woman
And blood of the woman brings birth of a child
The child grew up
He forgetting something
Birth of a child comes someplace while
Living great days with the shade of the wind
Unbodied, unsouled, unhurt, unseen
On the day of the dead like a song in my head
He speak to me in the shape of a dream
Treating natural bowl like the wind that blows
Follow the direction no matter where it goes
So it shall be the earth and the sea
Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me

I've been cold, if I've spoken in anger
Two have been born
Forgive me
No I don't see your Mother
Not like before
Though she hasn't forgotten
She doesn't like to be reminded anymore
Annie got married
It didn't come without tears
But the day you died I had laughter for these years

So it's who we are now, who we are
It's who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on the wake for young souls now
It's who we are now, who we are
it's who we are now, who we are
Oh no now on the wake for young souls

All the things we know
They're gonna fall away from me yeah
Like a grain of sand
Slips through a good friend's hand

Just give me a call
When you feel better
But you never do
And I'm just another debtor
To some palm reader
Who's got all her hands mixed up

Palm reader's breath
Smells of brandy and cigarettes
As she sells me sweet forgets
She needs something to get her through
She runs a scam like me and you
Oh yeah me and you

Freud said that love
Was a good psychosis
But I don't know
I've had too many doses
He's a creep
And we all know that
He probably made it up

Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos it's so good to believe
But you turn my hope into a weapon

I kept your sweater til the scent was gone
Bunched up in my hands
When the days were long
But I still sniff it
I walk alone on the concrete with the living

And did you stop
to gather 'round the fallen ones?
they don't know why
Neither do I
Neither do I
Neither do I
Neither do I

Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos it's so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and I
cos it's so good
But you turn my hope into a weapon

Yeah you turn my hope into a weapon

oh no oh no

There's no one to trust
Except maybe the two of us
But that's in the past
The place where i'm living
Haunted by broken dreams
I read the horoscopes in magazines
Especially yours
In the sign of a Leo
the regal ones
will mend you like your blouse so
Oh it's so slow
And when will we let me go

Let me go
Let me know
Let me go

Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos it's so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and I
cos it's so good
But you'll turn hope into a weapon

Yeah you'll turn hope into a weapon

Everyone is so self-righteous
Lift your head again and try this

If you want this, I do
And I want this, but I can't break through
And I can see you begin to glow

Everyone is so self-righteous
Get up everyone
Were on our own now
Lift your head again try this

And feel you, I do
And I want this but I can't break through
And your burning lights red and blue

Everyone is so self-righteous

Where have you sinners gone
All you sinners

What's ours is ours
And were all alone
What's ours is ours
And outside rain
It's just a shower
And then I feel you breathe
And I let go of the hours
And I feel your skin
And I let you in
And that's my dream
Again and again
I feel the hours
Sliding by
Get up on your own now
Way up all alone now
Lift your head again and try this

Do you want this, in you
You're the only thing that's real
And we don't need to beg or steal

Everyone is so self-righteous
 

Start your engines

Can we get the chemicals in
Cause anything's better than this
Mix it up with vicadin
Cause anything's better than this
Little cuts on your wrist,
To try and get back the feeling
And no real friendships exists
That would be an understatement

Tell me the reason
(cannot show up)
Friends you knew before
(hello, how have you been?)
This is your season
(oh I give up)
Just show up
(I can't knock on your door)

Cause I keep bad company
I'm trouble
So go on stay away from me
I play the villain
You don't know where we've been

Lining em up again
Start your engines

Can we get the chemicals in
Old english is making me manic
I go to SuicideGirls again
To check on anything I missed
The stitches don't even begin
To even stop up the bleeding
Can we get the chemicals in
Cause anything's better than this

The city is dying
(at least to me)
The city is dead now
(my kingdom for a friend)
Are you even trying
(to find some peace)
Don't need a reason
(I get some living in)

Cause I keep bad company
I'm in trouble
Last chance stay away from me
I play the villain
You don't know where we've been

Lining em up again
Keep saying this will end

I keep bad company
I'm in trouble
Keep saying this will end
Lining em up again
You know I'll never change

Lining em up again
Start your engines

If you ever find a way to forgive me
And if you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy

And all that you wanted
And all that you wanted
Was a good man
Alright

Right in the middle of another big fight
Pull back another one tonight
I'll never forget, but who protects the memories
When we bleed each other from the vein

And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was that you destroy

And all that you wanted
And all that you wanted
Was a good man
Alright

Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed, it's getting light out
Why do you, why do you, why do you always stop me on places when I'm coming down

How do you do it when I've overwhelmed by a violet sky?
We fly in a decaying orbit, 66,000 miles an hour goes by
When we kissed and only now do I feel your mouth
Like an ache you never knew
And it was right in front of you

Oh how do you do it? Roots in the soil untangle
Releasing your sweet summer warmth, but still I recoil like mace
And all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase
Every moment overflows with power, 66,000 miles an hour

And if you ever find a way to forgive me
And if you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Cos I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy

And all that you wanted
And all that you wanted
Was a good man
Alright

And all that you wanted
And all that you wanted
Was a good man

Was a good man, good man
Was a good man, good man
Was a good man, (was a good man) good man
Was a good man, (was a good man) good man

People's eyes say I'm no damn good
shut down and left lonely
only with the maybe we could
I stay inside cause I'm misunderstood
I can't get no release

I'm shell-shocked from some heavy blows
a stranger to the people I know
who used to say "he never had a down day"
now I'm holding on to can't let goes
and silence brings no peace

because another life
went through my window pane
and I don't know why
i've got a will to burn

in attic rooms I just shut my door (shut my door)
for seven weeks maybe seven more (seven more)
it's like I face a seven-headed whore
the fight's knocked out of me

No measure for grief and I can't find it with the sound
Break down, to the great god of the hand me down
Holding the past around wound up at the lost and found
where the colors all turn to grey

wait a minute and

I'm coming of a down day
colorized, the city plays a double feature today
and life is long, and something is wrong
but i want to know what's going on and on

in another life
cause it's good again
and it will never die
I've got a will to burn
to see you again
it's like another life
it's like I'll not get better
a will to burn

oh the time goes by and I realize, that I'm alright
you thought nothing would be the same
but life comes 'round again
quick wits and all curious
all caught up in what you say
and makes me grab the time
before it slips away

I can't stay and I cannot wait
and I'm grateful to whistle past a grave yard gate
the flicker fade is getting stronger
like when the days start getting longer
i got the rhythm down now in the places we warred
the golden gate is like my diving board
and life is pointless
but what's so wrong with that?

cause there's another life
and a sweeter pain
and it will never die
you got a will to burn
to see you again
it's like another life
I feel the whole thing happen
the will to burn

to see you again
it's like another life
I got another life
I got another life

Used to worry for each other
No one's bothered like before
We sleep with each others friends
Sneak around, fall apart, and come back for more
We sit around drinking tables
Stabilized and keeping score
But my mind is somewhere out the door

Oh we have grown
Maybe I've overstayed awhile
In my time in exile and
Oh time has flown
And the only thing I've learned
I want a life now of my own

We go to clubs
The songs are old
The evening's blown
Go our ways
And take taxis home
Talk of Sunday outings
And medicate to fight the doubting
But know we'll always be alone

We have grown
I've overstayed awhile
In my time in exile and
Oh time has flown
And the only thing I've learned
I want a life now of my own
Of my own

That's my year spent in exile
Second guessed and dressed up in tatters
My both feet didn't take this path
And I'm still looking for a life that matters
More than chit-chat
We listen to The Streets
We're all deadbeats
And these old habits are starting to show through
Sorry I didn't get to know you

Oh time has flown
I've overstayed awhile
In my time in exile and
Oh we have grown
The one thing that I've learned
I want a life now on my own

Bye bye to the friends I've known
In my time in exile
