Time of day

She fell in love by the seaside
The angel smiled and said
It’d be alright
Were they right?
Was it something I said?
That made you change your mind
And think about time
I think she’s known for a while
That I’m just another faceless tile
And she’ll never say
Are you here to stay?
But don’t leave but you never stayed
With eyes that could never see
And with words she could never say
But she always gave me the time of day
Let the doves fly with broken wings
Forever she will sing
And as the rivers run dry in her eyes
She will finally touch the sky
And as her words
Are thrown in the bin
His anger runs on thin
And as her roses are thrown in trashcan
His heart will turn into sand
And don’t ever play
The notes she’s thinking of again
At last she lay
In a stone bed free of pain
But don’t leave but you never stayed
With eyes that could never see
And with words she could never say
But she always gave me the time of day
Solo
She sat alone by the seaside
The angel smiled and said
Was it alright
They were right

while I'm pissed off
you're just getting pissed
so I've had enough
I've crossed u off my list
I can't see why
all you hanging round
will help me
you'll
never know
what it feels like
never know what it feels like
so popular popular
would you give a thought
to me someday
if I ever got
from I to they
but now as I see
it's not to be
so go away
you'll
never know
what it feels like
never know what it feels like
so popular so popular

Ballad of the formal
04:26
|

you all look so beautiful
but I'm dressed in rags
lets walk to the table
where chatter begins to lack
lairs
we don't dress this way
but we all talk about our pay
cause what you have here
is a bunch of glitter and glue
and what you all fear
is the way that you really look
and what you all think
is a fake plastic truth
I look all around me
and fake is all I see
this nights for the high class
the working don't give an ass
handsome
you had to be
to blend in with the lies
damn them
I wish I could be them
but I gave to much to this night
cause what you have here
is a bunch of glitter and glue
and what you all fear
is the way that you really look
and what you all think
is a fake plastic truth

Second chance
03:33

and so it got better
when I met her
but we drifted so far apart
I couldn't see the start
and so it got better
when I forgot her
but she's always in the back of my mind
but not in sight
and so we lost contact
of her I heard the last
but I'm still living in my dream
but she can't see
It's been so long
since you surfaced
you gave me life and purpose
and if I ever met you again
I don't know what to say
but there's no second chance
no second chance
and so I got sadder
while she got happier
my friends all noticed me
but chose not to see
but it got better
when I met some one else
nothing could ever compare
our lives we shared
It's been so long
since you surfaced
you gave me life and purpose
and if I ever met you again
I don't know what to say
but there's no second chance
no second chance

OH NO I'm different

I remember December
you brought roses with embers
and left me with something
more than burns
you could have left in November
but you waited til I was better
you said you're goodbyes
but not to me just in time
I wish I was different
I wish I was different
I wish Oh no I different
oh no I'm different
o o
Oh no I'm different
o o
don't say it so
I remember you dancing to a song
I'd just written
I was playing in an empty hall in the distance
though times have changed I seem
to remain the same
that's why you and I are a double edged blade
and though we cut one another
our scars have healed through time
and though we aren't together anymore that's just fine
I wish I was different
I wish I was different
I wish Oh no I different
oh no I'm different
o o
Oh no I'm different
o o
don't say it so

Tears of a clown
03:52

A man walks by his to be wife
they trade stares
he sees her smile
ah ah
he see's her once again
he brings flowers
she brings dread
from what he hears
he's rather be dead
she says
there's nothing left for you or me to say
this won't work any other way
tears in the rain won't touch ground
don't trust a girl who cries tears of a clown
it's been a year for him
it's been a month for her
his life can't begin
she's moved on for sure
ah ah
like a cheap movie
they meet up again
he's around the corner
she's just around the bend
they meet eye to eye
they try to say goodbye
he leans in for a kiss
but she gives it a miss
she says
there's nothing left for you or me to say
this won't work any other way
tears in the rain won't touch ground
don't trust a girl who cries tears of a clown
