Today

I can never calm you down
And I can never turn you around
I could never bring you flowers
I could never turn you around

I can't be there when you're sleeping
I can't be inside your dreams
And I can't be there when you're sleeping
And I can't be inside your dreams
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Staring at the kitchen sink
Feeling a plastic mood
Feel like things have gotta change
Cause baby you're a lunatic

Baby my head's full of wishes
Baby my head's full of pictures
Baby my head's full of colors
Baby my head's full of pictures of you

Baby I spent all my money
Baby don't think that it's funny
Baby my head's full of colors
Baby my head's full of pictures of you

Sitting on a subway train and
Watching all the people lose their senses

Hiding in a parking lot and
Watching all the people fall to pieces

I don't mind
I think it's fine

I need to walk by the flowers with someone who could share my face
Looks like nobody could take your place
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have

Don't let it go to waste

I could show you memories to rival Berlin in the thirties
I understand your dating-bar ways
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have

Don't let it go to waste

Say something warm, say something nice
I can't stand to see you when you're cold
Nor can I stand being out of your life
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have

Don't let our youth go to waste

Came to the door but she wouldn't see me
So I turned away to leave
She leaned out the window and said "Where ya goin?"
Now I have no time to grieve

And as I pushed my foot to the pedal
I was driving much too fast
Rain comin down and I couldn't see much
Now I have no time to grieve

Now you're right all the time
And I'm just oblivious
I'd rather stay in bed with you
Till it's time to get a drink

I don't wanna stay at your party
I don't wanna talk with your friends
I don't wanna vote for your president
I just wanna be your tugboat captain

There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
