"C'MON C'MON"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
C'mon c'mon
Can't you feel something going on
C'mon c'mon
Can't you feel something going on
Can't you feel something going on
This won't be the first time
And shouldn't be the last
Take a look inside
Come along for the ride
Don't worry about your past
Just leave your worries
By the cellar door
Just drop the act
And don't look back
You're not there any more
C'mon c'mon
Can't you feel something going on
C'mon c'mon
Can't you feel something going on
Can't you feel something going on
I apologize for all the things that I might say
But have a little patience
I'm just stuck here in this stupid age
And I'm going through an awkward phase
C'mon c'mon
Can't you feel something going on
C'mon c'mon
"EVERYONE CAN FLY"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Turn off your mind
And go back with me to a better time
Do you see the same moon I do
When I'm thinking of you
Well that's ok
We can try again another day
Do you feel the same breeze I feel
Lifting you up
Lifting me up
Lifting us up
'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try
Turn off the lights
And don't be afraid of another night
Do the promises you couldn't keep
Make it hard for you to sleep
Well that's ok
Everybody makes the same mistakes
As the stars shine the night away
Let them lift you up
Let them lift you up
Let them lift you up
'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try
Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty ?
You'd be where you are today
Isn't it funny how things change
Some things never stay the same
What a shame...
Forget the grade
I can see you turning a greener shade
Do you feel the same faith I feel
Let it lift you up
Let it lift you up
Let it lift you up
'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try
Everyone can fly
"HALF A CHANCE"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Half a chance
Of getting halfway back
Maybe half the heart
Always I put in
Twice as much
Spilling twice the time
Maybe twice the guts
Where do I begin ?
Getting something done
Letting in the
Sunday rings
Monday brings
Half a chance again
Half the night
I'm lying half awake
Dreaming half a dream
It's always my mistake
A quarter mile
Beneath my beating chest
The lies a quarter rest
I can't seem to fake
Getting something done
Letting in the
Sunday rings
Monday brings
Half a chance again
You know
Blue sky, hopes and horoscopes
Agree in the end
That timing is
Your real friend
Your only friend
Half a chance
Of getting halfway back
To cracking half a smile
Once in awhile
Once in awhile...
Gimme half a chance
Of getting halfway back
To cracking half a smile
Once in awhile
"SUPER ULTRA WICKED MEGA LOVE"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Biker girl seeks biker boy
A fetching SWF toy
Piercings a plus but not necessary
Canine man seeks feline passion
In alternative tunes and hip hop fashion
To explore the unknown out there but nothing scary
They tell themselves things might be different this time
They only know that they're hoping to find some kind of
Super ultra wicked
Super ultra wicked
Super ultra wicked mega love
Super ultra wicked mega love
Captivating chocoholic
Lives urbane, but dreams bucolic
Looking for the type who'll bail some hay
A very large sensitive bear
Seeks boo boo with honey hair
Into rollerblades and negligee
They tell themselves things might be different this time
They only know that they're hoping to find some kind of
Super ultra wicked
Super ultra wicked
Super ultra wicked mega love
Super ultra wicked mega love
Biker boys seeks biker girl
In matching chaps and geri curl
Polishing that dual header exhaust
Boo Boo bear trembles and dials
Swallowing the miles and miles
Of butterflies that never quite get lost
They tell themselves things might be different this time
They only know that they're hoping to find some kind of
Super ultra wicked
Super ultra wicked Mega Love
"YOU'D BETTER GET YOURSELF TOGETHER, BABY"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
The stars and moon collide up in the sky tonight
And you are looking really really high tonight
Oh I can see
Just what you're trying to be
You'd better get yourself together, baby
Like an autumn leave that's spinning round and round
I wonder will you shatter when you hit the ground
Oh can't you see
You're falling rapidly
You'd better get yourself together
Get yourself together
You'd better get yourself together, baby
The stars and moon fell from the sky
And now they make your bed
And you've become more than twice the sum
Of everything you've seen, heard and read
Oh can't you see
You're sinking silently
You better get yourself together
Get yourself together
Get yourself together, baby
You'd better get yourself together, baby
"EVERYTHING IS WRONG"
(Gibbs/Hurley/Weidlin)
I want to go back
I want to go home
I had everything planned
Now I don't understand
Why I feel so alone
I don't recognize this place
But I've been here before
I let it all go
Now I don't even know
What I came here for
'Cause everything, everything is wrong
Now all my faith, all my faith is gone
Once there was a time
When I thought I was strong
But everything, everything is wrong
I figured it out
Or so I said
But then I found
When I put it all down
It was all in my head
Now I want to go back
Give up this fight
I'm feeling weak
I'm too tired to sleep
And nothing feels right
Everything, everything is wrong
Now all my faith, all my faith is gone
Once there was a time
When I thought I was strong
But everything, everything is wrong
Everything, everything is wrong
And all my faith, all my faith is gone, gone, gone
Everything, everything is wrong
Once there was a time
When I thought I was strong
I used to understand this
But it's been so very long
Everything that once was right is wrong
"THE BIG LIE"
(Bassett/Gibbs/Hurley)
I could charm the skin right off a snake
Twist the truth around and watch it break
But I still can't get through to you
I could talk a Zebra from its stripes
Convince today to turn into tonight
Still there's something I just can't do
And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be
I could talk the clouds down from the sky
I could stop the breeze as it blows by
But you know this act is nothing new
I could be the dream you had last night
And whisper every word exactly right
But you know dreams don't always come true
And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be
I could steal your heart but not this time
You deserve much more than worn out lines
But that's all that I've got to give
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
"SIMPLE THING"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Count my blessings on my thumbs
This may sound stupid, but I was never young
Now my conscience weighs a ton
Cracks my back with the weight
Of all I could have done
It's a simple thing, it's a simple thing to do
Close my eyes and hold my breath
Clutch your letters to my sinking chest
The early mornings still our best
I know I'd stay okay
If I can get some rest
It's a simple thing, it's a simple thing to do
"REST ASSURED"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Gravity has a way of
Gradually pulling people down
Wrestling your hopes and dreams
And dragging them by the seams to the ground
Rest assured
Standing up from falling down is
Best assured
I will never buckle like the
Rest who bend their knees to gravity
Apathy has a way of
Actively leaving people flat
Apprehending sparks and spins
And lulling them to the dullest mat
Rest assured
Standing up from falling down is
Best assured
I will never buckle like the
Rest who bend their knees to gravity
And if you find the past
Is saying I won't last
Remember I am not the same
Gravity has a way of
Gradually pulling us apart
Rest assured
Standing up from falling down is
Best assured
I will never buckle like the
Rest assured
Standing up from falling down is...
"FOR A MOMENT"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Saw her in my coffee cup today
Smiling in that photogenic way
For a moment
I thought I should hesitate, contemplate
For a moment
Then stir her away
Thought I heard a voice above the fray
Down in Central Square as if to say
For a moment
Take the time to memorize the perfect size
For a moment
Then store it away, away, away, away...
'Cause I've been standing in these shoes awhile
And I've been growing really tired of
Minor chords with major themes
And staring at the ceiling beams
And cloying movies choke me up
And sentiment keeps spilling down the cup
Did I feel those curves upon my bed ?
Reaching out found my guitar instead
For a moment
I thought to disintegrate would be my fate
For a moment
Then strummed it away, away...
"FADE AWAY"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Newspapers with coffee stains
Autumn sun through window panes
Promises of self restrain
You wish were never made
Like a summer smile
That's one too many
And all the while just
Fades Away
Fades Away
Fades Away
Believe me now before we fade away
Dust streaks on venetian blinds
Chipped paint on the neon signs
Endless dues of the kind
You thought that you had paid
Like a stupid dream
That's gone by morning
It just seems to
Fade Away
Fade Away
Fade Away
Believe me now before we fade
I don't want to be left behind
Like this morning old coffee grinds
And I need to find out for myself
That this is not my best time
I don't want to fade away
Don't want to fade away
"RESIDUE"
(Gibbs/Hurley)
Residue, tell me what can I do
To get the trace of you off of me ?
Residue, on the tip of my tongue
And filling up my lungs where I breathe
I wish that I could face
All the flavors I still taste
I wish that I could peel off
All the layers that I feel of residue
Residue, on the small of my back
And making me go slack when I'm brave
Residue, like a rash on my skin
And dripping down my chin when I shave
I wish that I could face
All the flavors I still taste
I wish that I could peel off
All the layers that I feel of residue
Hiding underneath my nails
Puncturing my stiff starched sails
Wash and dry, iron and fold
It's starting to get kind of old
It's starting to make me feel old
Residue, on the edge of the bed
And propping up my head so I can't sleep
Residue, in the corners and seams
And dancing in my dreams midnight's deep
I wish that I could face
All the flavors I still taste
I wish that I could peel off
All the layers that I feel of residue
Residue
