Sometimes
I wish I was brave
I wish I was stronger
I wish I could feel no pain
I wish I was young
I wish I was shy
I wish I was honest
I wish I was you not I

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

Sometimes
I wish I was smart
I wish I made cures for
How people are
I wish I had power
I wish I could lead
I wish I could change the world
For you and me

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

I watched the smoke, as it grew darker and blew up through the roof
I watched the fed, saw them panic, as the fire grew
I saw Virginia, get rid of Langley, and its secrets too
I held your hand, and sat there knowing, that we'd make it through

I saw this man dispose of hunger and soap operas too
I saw this field, that grew perfection full of things you do
I saw this box, get rid of heartache and cure cancer too
When i awoke I sat there hoping, this is what we'll do

If we can, we will leave a letter and this song for you
And we'll write once a day and put it through the sea to you
We'll regret all those things we thought of but didn't ever do

If we can we will leave a letter and this song for you
And we'll write once a day and put it through the sea to you
We'll regret all those things we thought of but didn't ever do
When the sky seems to clear who will then be left, but a few, me and you

I've been all pinched up since Saturday
I've run my self dry of excellence
Sixteen long years in-hale the bullshit in
Whatever I said on Saturday
Whatever I did I'll do it all again
Nineteen marks up walls
Each year one short fall of

Tiny voices, make things harder
Everybody will be let down
Everybody will be let down

What is this for ex-parking lot
The dreamers go buy they never stop
Twenty plus 5 in let the youth cave in

Tiny voices, make things harder
Everybody will be let down
Everybody will be let down

Tiny voices make things harder
Tiny voices make things harder
Everybody will be let down
Everybody will be let down
Everybody will be let down

Everybody will be let down

I fell down again
But I can't complain
Another false step
Could drive me insane
I only got myself here to blame
So I shake off the feeling and I start again
Oh, no I said
I want to go back
But I can't win the shit
And I'm gonna stay on track
Yeah
Make a deal like that
I keep my head up
But I never react

I wrote it down a list a month ago
Sixteen chapters of one thing you've blown
The best thing yet to help you
Through and through
That she was
I feel her more than you

Don't leave
Don't leave her

Yeah

I get up
Just to get knocked back down
I sit up
Just to get knocked all around
I wanna say something
But you're out of town
I don't wanna have another
Short down
I say stand up hey, yo
Lets make it clear follow you home no
You were not there you saw him comin' jump
You disappear
home alone every night
Seems so clear
You think you see me here
All along got my crew comin' now
1 by 1
2 by 2
3 by 3
4 by 4
Let's do some more

Call me back when word is that she's gone
Cat like thief she stole air from my lungs
Leave me standing on this lonely grave
I dug it out in case she turns away

Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave
Don't leave her

You think you've seen it,
All along got my crew comin'
1 by 1
2 by 2
3 by 3
4 by 4
Let's do some more

Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave.

Because I need you more than you need me
Because I want you more
I know

Because we moved too fucking fast
I think I really had to wish to make this last
I know

I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Believe me if you would

Because I cared way more
Because I really felt that you felt so much more
I know

I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Believe me if you would
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Believe me if you could

I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Believe me if you would
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Believe me if you could
Believe me if you could

Our days are running thin,
Our hopes will start to fall.
I can feel the world collapse around me,
from within.
The letters keep coming by, to let us know in time we'll die
and please God will you forgive us, and give us one more try.

If you will then we'll go
As fast as we go far
Maybe we'll be forgotten, when the world is torn apart.

I've been up all night long
counting days that all went wrong.
I open my bedroom window, I wish this pain was gone.
There are no useful drugs to escape from feeling numb.
I remember an amazing birthday,
I remember when I was young.

If you will then we'll go
As fast as we go far
Maybe we'll be forgotten, when the world is torn apart.
Cause the sun won't be so blinding, and the rains will finally come.
The ashes will slowly pile up, just to prove we're finally done. (2x)

The building turned it's back ignored my call
The concrete looks too thin to break my fall
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene
I counted people as I neared the street below
Whoa...below
Whoa

I saw it all, I saw it all go down
The shadow grew as he approached the ground
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene
I turned away as he came near the street below
Whoa...below
Whoa...below

Let's forget this all, move on (x7)
