I'd rather not be kissed but held slowly in your arms I'd rather not be kissed but held slowly in your arms Can't take it all at once Let the feeling last forever Can't take it all at once then gone Need to feel so safe and secure Been needing someone to make my world smaller I want knowing everything surrounding me I'd rather not be kissed but held in your arms forever

If you leave town let me follow, got nothing left to do And you could be my next vessel I just go through as people figure out decisions I can't make Lead me around, I won't feel so fake Good god, goddess complex I just never outgrew If you'd sit from where I see these fields and streams surround you. I didn't say I was special, how do I come off to you? Well, you know, they say, "the sky stays blue no matter what we do" "But what about the rain?" It's like we don't get to say, "give me another chance another day" Good god, goddess complex -- I'm exhausted watching you And it's not every day I dress so well If you leave town let me know I'd love to change with you And I try to find you somewhere, but you're everywhere around

Am I alive or just eating and sleeping? I swear some days it gets too hard to tell If turning pages stop to slow down to let me know to leave my shell In my house are all the right things Even let in a little sunlight Far too often I sing to myself about the times I really tried to be someone I thought I was being But I only got in the way of who I was seeing Now and then I get to somewhere On my way back it starts to rain Then there's no way out my own skin The rain just washed away all that's changed about me And who I could be If I had any place to go from, I wouldn't know So I wait around the roads to see if they'll move me to where I'm supposed to be But I'm only seeing what's going by Might as well lie on my back and reach for the sky Forget I even bothered to really try to go outside and see all that I'm not doing

Sad Clown 03:23
Didn't drink enough tonight, so he's feeling down Doesn't know what to do when his friends aren't around He tries to be funny to get through the day And when I see him lately he's got nothing to say But he keeps on going and we like him around I'm getting used to falling down You ask me about my sad, sad smile But it's not that hard to do...

Greener 04:00
I look around myself but where have you been? In other people will I see you again? I don't think so... Just take me with you Just anywhere at all You'd know I'd come if you'd ever call Who knows what we could be At least I won't be lonely anymore But you said times aren't the same from the day we parted ways As if it all matters when there are pieces but no pattern In your eyes, can't you see how all the parts of you are part of me? When I fall apart, so do you And together we put back together all the things we never said. Just can't hide an unlocked door and besides me, well, who would you wait for? It's not what I'm making up once you've taken giving up. Your belief, 'it's all a dream,' intent on listening to all of your dreams, As the memories fall by the wayside for me to sing out in a band, Sinking in the quicksand I still hear you swearing at me I still feel you breathing into me

Classic 03:11
You ask me what I'm doing when you run into me on the town And I've never had an answer for you and your friends who think it's strange I'm out by myself Really I'm just like you without all the questions that I didn't think through Don't mean to put you off -- I'm going it alone It's just how it works out these days When it's so hard to know what's worth my time when I'm getting no good signs Just so much along the way with words I want to save for the right times Before I dissipate with so many of the things I've gotten used to I'd crawl out from underneath but who would be there, waiting for me? Good for those who can stay out and pretend And love is a long line of lonely men Life is a long, long line for lonely men And if I keep on waiting, someone will come up along beside me, Well, that's what I tell myself, but why can't I be needed? I know someone's been sad like me, We can agree to share the lead, And then I, too, say to you, "I'm your manic dream" I know we'll both make it happen And what you see in me I see in you I'm always drinking water after talking in my sleep About anyone I know and used to know And I'm sure you'd love to meet them
