I wanna be normal, I wanna be sane
I wanna look at you and feel something other than pain
I need shelter, safe haven
I wanna quiet place to go and wait out the rain
I wanna woman, I wanna job
I got an itch coming on to get in trouble again
I wanna wake up, and feel loved
Will you look me in the eyes, tell me I'm not dying?

I'm losing air, I'm not prepared for this
I'm tired, I'm sick
I'm waging war on everything
I'm wired, I'm licked
I'm addicted to everything
But I'm not prepared for this
Tell me I'm not dying

I wanna hole, to crawl in
I wanna sleep 'til I can't feel anything
I wanna fix, I wanna friend
I wanna cut these nerves from under my skin
I need a woman, I need a job
I got an itch coming on to get in trouble again
I wanna wake up, and feel loved
Will you look me in the eyes, tell me I'm not dying?

I'm losing air, I'm not prepared for this
I'm tired, I'm sick
I'm waging war on everything
I'm wired, I'm licked
I'm addicted to everything
But I'm not prepared for this
Tell me I'm not dying

I'm tired, I'm sick
I'm waging war on everything
I'm wired, I'm licked
I'm addicted to everything
But I'm not prepared for this
No I'm not prepared for this
Tell me I'm not dying
Tell me I'm not dying
Tell me I'm not dying

A War on Everything

Let's start a war on everything
Burn your clothes and cut your hair baby
We can go anywhere
You can choose, I don't care at all
Just throw your phone in the river
Start the car, go east and giver' girl
We are alone together, forever

And it's raining, it's raining light
Through the open broken sky

Let's start a war on everything
Throw the rings in the kitchen sink
We don't need 'em where were going
We don't need anything at all
Just look around, nothing's real
But who we are and what we feel, baby
We are alone together, forever

It's raining, it's raining light
I'm okay, if you're okay, tonight

Yeah, there's you and I
And everything else that's in between
Yeah, we're never going back again

It's raining, it's raining light
I'm okay, if you're okay tonight

We can't stay here (it's raining)
Any longer baby (it's raining light)
Aren't you tired of trying to convince everyone
That we're not crazy
Pack the car, call your sister (I'm okay)
Grab a bag of clothes (if you're okay, tonight)
Leave the TV on, through the curtains, don't tell anyone
We can't stay here (it's raining)
Any longer baby (it's raining light)
Aren't you tired of trying to convince everyone
That we're not crazy
Pack the car, call your sister
Grab a bag of clothes
Leave the TV on, through the curtains, don't tell anyone

Spirit to Break

What's the city look like from your new bedroom window?
Do you think you see your ex-lover driving by real slow?
Does it make you feel uneasy, does it tickle your ego?
Would you look at me and say it's really not that simple?

Yeah I know
I turned on the TV and saw my own face
From a hospital bed, did you see me, babe?
Morphine drip and a demon to chase
But I still woke up with a spirit to break

I swallowed dad's pills, took a knife to my arm, girl
I just started digging, 'til your eyes took me under
Woke up in an ambulance two towns over
Blowing kisses at Jesus, I came back for you, girl (I came back)

You turned off the TV, and saw your own face
From your lonely bed, did you feel me babe?
Morphine drip and a demon to chase
Did you still wake up with a spirit to break?
I'm coming up from so far under, baby
I'm coming up, I'm on my way
Show me that you still have a spirit to break

When we were sixteen, you told me, "Never change"
Well, here I am, baby, but I'm not the same

I'm coming up from so far under, baby

Yeah, I turned on the TV, saw my own face
From a hospital bed, did you see me, babe?
Morphine drip and a demon to chase
But I still woke up with a spirit to break
I'm coming up from so far under, baby
I'm coming up, I'm on my way
Show me that you still have a spirit to break
Show me that you still have a spirit to break
Show me that you still have a spirit to break

Closer to the Sky

Eyes wide open, pupils like dimes
Mama's little boy is on the ride of his life and it's alright

Mind over body, body over mind
It really doesn't matter if you can't tell the stars from the streetlights

Lying on your back by the sewer grate
Kisses on your face from the neon rain, there's no pain

Clench your jaw, tingle your spine
To the moon Jack, we got time, it's alright

Come a little closer to the sky
It's better than wondering why
It's better than breaking, we're on your side
Everything you hear is a lie
And everyone's running out of time
It's better than waiting, we're on your side
Come a little closer to the sky

Leave downtown before you get slaughtered
Bonfire shining on the black water, it's alright

Sand on your feet, wind in your hair
You're a silhouette in the summer air, you're so light

On the edge of the lake, at the edge of the night
She's looking at you with with dangerous eyes and a half smile

You give her a kiss, she bites your lip
You say I love you, she says your full of ****, she's so right

Down here everyone with a plan is on something
And everyone falling in love is lonely, it's alright

Wild Eyes

When I was a kid I was scared of the devil
I didn't realize he was the world's first rebel
Had a dream about a war circa 1994
I woke up in a cold sweat singing heavy metal

I'm scared of humans I'm scared of bombs
I'm worried about white kids carrying guns
Wrapped a noose around my neck
'Cause I just couldn't hide
I wrapped it round my throat and I couldn't stop laughing

The color of your lips is the same as the blood on my hands
These wild eyes are yours
Pick me up, take me home, I can barely stand
These wild eyes are yours

I used to believe there was some kind of power
Running through the world that I'll never understand
It made me wanna keep searching and find out what I can
Now I'm looking for a way to erase everything
'Cause look around honey, break it down for you honey
We built this all out of fear of just being monkeys
Don't let it upset you, it's really find it kind of funny
The only thing you can't explain is why you still love me, yeah, yeah

The color of your lips is the same as the blood on my hands
These wild eyes are yours
Pick me up, take me home, I can barely stand
These wild eyes are yours

For now, for now
For now
For now
For now

These wild eyes are yours, these wild eyes are yours
These wild eyes are yours, these wild eyes are yours

A Funny Thing Happened

I was on my way, I was on my way
I know that you are waiting
I was on my way, I was on my way
I was coming for you whether you want me or not

On your grave, my love, I swear I got the heart
I'm not afraid to die but the car wouldn't start
I called the cops and lit it on fire
Made a gun with my hand, but he knew I was a liar
I woke up in jail, already took my belt
I begged them for a beating but they didn't want to help
I tried chugging gas, I started falling forward
I woke up half naked on the Mexican border

I was on my way, I was on my way
I know that you are waiting
I was on my way, I was on my way
I was coming for you whether you want me or not

I poured chloroform on a pile of your clothes
I dreamt we were ****ing but I woke up alone
Dove through the ice, pants full of stones
When I looked up, you were standing on the shore
I'm begging you, baby, send me a sign
I'm asking you to help me make it in time

I'm never gonna stop I won't give up
I'm coming for you whether you like it or not

A funny thing happened
I was laughing as the whole world blackened
And I don't know if I was on my way to hell or heaven
And I don't know, but you won't let me go

I love you, I don't hold anything above you
But you won't let me go, you won't let me go

I love you (my friends keep calling)
I don't hold anything above you (they wonder where I am)
But you won't let me go (they're knocking on the door)
You won't let me go (but I don't answer them)

I love you (I'm on my way)
I don't hold anything above you (I'm never gonna stop)
But you won't let me go (I'm coming for you, girl)
You won't let me go (whether you like it or not) (hey)

The Laws of Love and War

Headlights cutting through the sideways rain
Midnight, you're just stopping by again

This time, you come with different plans
You bring news of a better man

There's raindrops in your hair
You won't come in, you're just standing there
I don't remember what you came for
It just hurts 'cause you're not mad anymore
Oh, we ain't never learned the laws of love and war

Don't leave, I've chased you down these old highways
I won't do it again, 'cause I know it won't make you stay

It doesn't matter, wherever your heart leads
You'll be right here, always a part of me

There's raindrops in your hair
You won't come in, you're just standing there
I don't remember, what you came for
It just hurts 'cause you're not mad anymore
Oh, we ain't never learned the laws of love and war

One More Summer

What about one more summer, one more swing
Give me one more fever dream
We can lie to each other for one more summer
What about one last chance, one last dance
Baby say a Hail Mary for me
We can lie to each other for one more summer

Your pills were kicking in, I cried the whole way home again
You made me scared of myself, you made me sick in the head
You made me turn on all of my friends
You're killing what you love, babe

What about one more summer, one more ride
Another trip on the other side
We can hide in each other for one more summer
Everything else be damned, just take my hand
I tried to leave you, but I can't
We can hide in each other for one more summer
Lie to each other, we can lie to each other

Your pills were kicking in, I cried the whole way home again
You made me scared of myself, you made me sick in the head
You made me turn on all of my friends
You're killing what you love, babe

Why don't you meet me in the alley
Let me take you back in time
Look at your friends through the window, babe
Nobody's missing you tonight

So you can have your sympathy, you're just as full of **** as me
You made me scared of myself, you made me sick in the head
You made me turn on all of my friends
You're killing what you love, babe
What about one more summer, one more ride?
One more trip to the other side?
You made me scared of myself, you made me sick in the head
You made me turn on all of my friends
You're killing what you love babe
You're killing what you love babe

The Ongoing Speculation Into the Death of Rock and Roll

Who needs Jesus, who needs Buddha?
We got sex and we got drugs
Yeah, we got it all
That trust fund kid with Lennon glasses thinks that he's the chosen one
Yeah, look what we've done
There's a ghost with bleach blonde hair who walks around with half a head
He's a t-shirt now from '94

You all wanted him dead, who killed the rock and roller?
Who put the gun to his head, who killed the rock and roller?
He's a t-shirt now but nothing more

Who needs war and who needs peace just get me on the TV screen
Yeah, tell me what to do
That small town girl on ecstasy, she's raised by fashion magazines
Thinks her pain is cute
An angel kissed the president, her skirts still blowing in the wind
She's a poster now from '62

You all wanted her dead, who killed the rock and roller?
Who put the pills in her bed, who killed the rock and roller?
She's a poster now and nothing more

Four shots at the Tyson fight, sirens scream and flashing lights
He's a martyr now, if he wasn't before

You all wanted him dead, who killed the rock and roller?
You put the gun to his head, who killed the rock and roller?
You all wanted him dead, who killed the rock and roller?
You put the gun to his head, who killed the rock and
Who killed the rock and roller?
You killed the rock and, you killed the rock and roller

Kick Them Wicked Things

I hitch-hiked to the edge of town and I came back home
I was scared to leave my poor mama alone
Don't wanna live here for the rest of my life
I'm gonna leave this town when mama dies

I'm on bed rest, I got to kick them wicked things
I got it bad, I got to kick them wicked things

I went to school to get a degree, and now I'm buried in debt
I'm on pills for anxiety, I can't pay it back
My doctor says looking toward the future is bad
I don't know what to do, I don't wanna look back

I'm on bed rest, I got to kick them wicked things
I got it bad, I got to kick them wicked things
One man can be more than one thing
One man can be more than one thing

I got to kick them wicked things, listen

My little brother killed a man in Fort McMurray
The light left his eyes in a hurry
The news said he put him down in a northern fury
He said he didn't kill him but he couldn't fool the jury

I'm on bed rest, I got to kick them wicked things
I got it bad, I got to kick them wicked things
One man can be more than one thing
One man can be more than one thing
I got to kick them
I got to kick them
Yeah, I got to kick them wicked things

I'm on Your Side

There's no reason to think, there's no use in wondering why
Good times or bad they're just old days all gone by
It got away from us, but make no mistake, my love
I still got you

All our bad decisions, our pretty little lies
I'm happy that we tried, happy that we tried
I'm on your side
If you ever need a friend, I'm there until the end
There until the end
I'm on your side, I'm on your side

If you're tired, if you're gone, if you feel like breaking down
I can pick you up or lay there with you on the ground
It got away from us, but make no mistake, my love
I still got you

All our bad decisions, our pretty little lies
I'm happy that we tried, happy that we tried
I'm on your side
If you ever need a friend, I'll be there until the end
There until the end
I'm on your side, I'm on your side
I'm on your side, I'm on your side

When they call my name and I'm walking on the edge of the darkness
Will you sing songs for me?
Like I sang songs for you
Will you sing songs for me?
Yeah I sang songs for you
And I still got you

All our bad decisions, our pretty little lies
I'm happy that we tried, happy that we tried
I'm on your side
When it gets a little rough and it all comes apart
And you feel a little dark
I'm on your side, I'm on your side
I'm on your side, I'm on your side

Kingdom in My Heart

You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off

I used to sleep on benches at night
I used to hide in bars all day

I used to drink till I was angry
Walk by the water and dream of floating away

I only tell you these things
So you can see the joy that knowing you brings

You know things nobody else knows
And you're still not scared of me
When I'm shaking, thinking of death
And fighting for breath, you hold me till I can breathe

I never knew that I could have
A friend that I could trust 'til the bitter end

Oh, we can laugh it off
Yeah, we can laugh it off

Lean on Me Love

Two, three, four

Lean on me, love
Lean on me, love

Saw a girl on the VHS
Cuts on her shin, hair was a mess
A wartime house and a backyard swing
You were too young to care about anything

Lean on me, love

Yeah, I will follow, you will lead
You'll be better for knowin' me
I think we've got everything we need
You'll be better for knowin' me

I look at you, what comes to mind?
New Year's Eve, '99
Mom holdin' me, Dad holdin' Mom's side
Everyone kissin', everything was light

Lean on me, love
Lean on me, love

Yeah, I will follow, you will lead
You'll be better for knowin' me
I think we've got everything we need
You'll be better for knowin' me

Look at me, Jo, I don't care (lean on me, love)
With you right here, this is anywhere
Listen to me, you better believe (lean on me, love)
I'll be right here, as long as you dream

Yeah, I will follow, you will lead
You'll be better for knowin' me
I think we've got everything we need
You'll be better for knowin' me
Yeah, I will follow, you will lead (lean on me, love)
You'll be better for knowin' me
I think we've got everything we need (lean on me, love)
You'll be better for knowin' me

Lean on me, love
Lean on me, love
Lean on me, love

Pink Motel

All this money's just paper baby
All these bills are just the same
In the end the only reason for this house
Is to keep dry from the rain
When all your problems are self-made
What you got to worry about
Dry your eyes, we've been spoiled rotten
It ain't hard to figure out

I got a key
To a pink motel
Let's get away from the speed
Let's get away from the sound
Baby we can leave
We can leave right now
I gotta key
To a pink motel

You're measuring us up against
Everything and everyone around
There's a voice telling you to be perfect and it's bringing us down
Just let yourself loose in my arms
You can trust my steady hands
Trust me, if we put love first, nothing can be broken

I got a key
To a pink motel
Let's get away from the speed
Let's get away from the sound
Baby we can leave
We can leave right now
I gotta key
To a pink motel

I can't help if you want more than love
I can't help you if this is not enough
I remember when we never needed anything at all
We'll still be here when all of this is gone
I'm so tired of proving you wrong
I remember we never needed anything at all

Yeah, don't wait for me to leave you baby
To tell me that I'm enough
I don't care about anything at all
Anything at all but you
**** the cars and the money
**** all the trappings and the lifestyle
**** the rain and **** the expectations you put on everything
Don't wait for me to leave you baby
What do you care about my love?
I care about you
I care about you

Baby we can leave
We can leave right now
I got a key
To a pink motel
