I never got to say goodbye
I wasn`t there the day you died
Haven`t forgiven my guitar
For letting me drift away that far
Thought all the saddest songs had past
Guess we just saved the best for last
Having been put to a great test
Turns out i`m just like all the rest
Through the remainder of our days your the ghost that we will chase
You know we won`t forget your face
Where will we ever find the spark
That will illuminate this dark
Thats at the end of every day
On every pillow that we lay
I can remember every word
Of all your favorite songs i`d ever heard
And though I know it can`t be true
All of the songs seemed about you
Through the remainder of our days your the ghost that we will chase
You know we won`t forget your face
For all the sleepless nights we`ll pace ,through this funeral march we`ll race
You know we won`t forget your face
We are the fishes behind the glass ,swimming the walls that we cannot pass
You are the mystery beyond this place , we wont forget your face ...your face
We wont forget your face , We wont forget your face etc

Someone Like You

We always needed someone like you
From the halls of our native past
To the web pages and saloons
We always needed someone like you
We always needed someone like you
Unassuming and resolute
Having lost all our will to choose
We always needed someone like you
This half-forgotten song , these barely realized plans
Traveled in worn-out shoes , transferred from hand to hand
A crack of light in the dark truth
We always needed someone like you
We always needed someone like you
Who could arm all disarming facts
With a penchant for absolutes
We always needed someone like you
We always needed someone like you [who could show us a way thats true]
Who could bang all the pots and pans [who could smile as if on cue]
In a teflon and steel salute
We always needed someone like you
This half-forgotten song , these barely realized plans
Traveled in worn-out shoes , transferred from hand to hand
A crack of light in the dark truth
We always needed someone like you
I did all I could , I read all the books, I never had just what it took
We tool our chances underwater and wound up swimming on the hook
This half-forgotten song , these barely realized plans
Traveled in worn-out shoes , transferred from hand to hand
A crack of light in the dark truth
We always needed someone like you

Counting Sheep

Here in a world where someone always keeps count I can`t sleep very well by this
parking meter
I've got this mind that never really shuts down and every time I close my eyes it just
wanders all around
Its shows me these old photographs its found
It puzzles at the whys , the was`s and the hows
I try to go to sleep and block the sound of neighbors counting sheep
I met a girl once , and it was only once , didn't wanna have my company incorporated
She could`ve done better then with this dunce
This old brain makes the pain exponentially compound
Its shows me these old photographs its found
It puzzles at the whys , the was`s and the hows
And if i`m nodding off while in the crowd i've just been counting sheep
Tried to do the math but the math did me
Plotted on a graph it was plain to see
Charted at the top with a clean white line
Measured over years in a slow decline
Here in a world where [shows me the photographs] etc

Be Yourself No More
In the sunset of your tired imagination
At the glimmer of last light before the dark
There's a tragedy and wonder in the making
and the breaking of another falling star
They said be yourself, you'll be yourself no more
You will suffer like a slave this time
You've learned nothing, nothing will be your reward
You will be yourself no more, be yourself no more
You told yourself that you don't have to focus
and that serves you when you're trying to ignore
all those things that might have failed to go unnoticed
now are coming round and banging at your door
They said be yourself, you'll be yourself no more
You will suffer like a slave this time
You've learned nothing, nothing will be your reward
You will be yourself no more, be yourself no more
All your tracing, unerasing, stapled to your past
Spare today and spoil tomorrow, these things will not last
They said be yourself, you'll be yourself no more
You will suffer like a slave this time
You've learned nothing, nothing will be your reward
You will be yourself no more, be yourself no more
