Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seems so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
They chewed me up and then they spit me out
And I'm not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I'm a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, "Maybe there's a bit of me waiting for a bit of you. baby."
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will
Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged you,
And you don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all
Never come a day that I'll solve you
Consequently I could never leave you
In the shadow of those looming battleships
I love our canoe
I'm ready for the falls
And those still waters we will find are true
With or without you
With or without you
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
I gotta shake it off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore
Well I know what I was feeling But What was I thinking?
But What was I thinking?
I walk alone
I walk alone
You don't know where you're going, ‘till you know where you're at
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
I'm not a perfect person
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more
There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
