Adams Wilson

I know that I should walk away from you
But I've still got some things to say to you
I wonder how they're going to play
And would you say them too?

It's just another song for me to sing to you
It's just another song for me to make up words to
And I just want to get this right
Yeah, I don't want to ruin this night
So I say
Listen here I promise you
No matter what we're going through
I've never giving up on you again

Maybe there's a right and wrong way
to say what I have got to say to you
Promise me that you will stay
Even if it's not the truth

Okay, Okay
I'm just trying to say
I'll play, I'll play
Your silly game tonight
Tell you it'll be alright

Right way, wrong way
Nothing's ever gray
But I'll play, I'll play
Your silly game tonight
Tell you it'll be alright

You black out the sunshine
You don't waste any time
How'd you get ahold of me

Well I'll be your goldmine
Long as wrong is still right
When you take ahold of me

All my innocence
will not be put on trial
If I had some sense
I'd stay here in denial
With you

So call me when you're ready to get high
Call me when you're ready to get high
Just enough for my body to get by
Call me when you're ready to get high

Well we had our good times
And we gave our best try
But you lost your hold on me

I cover my eyes
From the blackened sunshine
'cus it's not what it should be

All my innocence will not be put on trial
Nothing's making sense
So I'll just kill a while
With you

And my memory's tinted black
All the pieces look like you
When I tried to get them back
There was nothing I could do

Here is my question
The one without reply
The one I thought I had to ask
at 4:05
And this is MY BEST GUESS
And it's my last try
Even when I find answers
I never find why

Dear Jesus
I'm feeling so tired
Come back in a while
I'm waiting in line
for the outside world
I gave it a try
Yeah that is my line
I'm waiting in line
For the outside world

Here is my baggage
All the reasons why
I'm waiting for solutions
Or a well-told lie
And I hope it's no bother
To your infinite time
But I said all my prayers
And I'm still alive

Dear Jesus
I'm feeling so tired
Come back in a while
I'm waiting in line
for the outside world
I gave it a try
Yeah that is my line
I'm waving goodbye
From the outside world

I've got plenty on my mind
Without opening my eyes
To the world around me
I'll spend forever on your dime
Or wait it out in fire
How does that sit with your world?

I went up to the moon
And I saw you there
The time was coming soon
When you'd run out of air
But you sat there
Twirling your hair

So I brought you down to earth
To try and make this fair
But now we're on my turf
I'm painfully aware
How you sit there
Twirling your hair

I won't let you rocket away
I won't let you fly into space
You play in orbit
You'd best play it safe
Or a spaceman
Will take you away

In your eyes
I see the earth rise
And I can't believe you're staring back at me
In your eyes
I see the moonlight
And I know that's all I ever want to see

I've got a line
For you to hear
I've gotta try
'cus it's almost
Worth the fear to me

I've got a line
So just listen here
I've gotta try
'cus you left me
Here tonight

I'm too tired to run
I'm too tired to stand here and fight
So I'll say you've won
If it means you'll quit for tonight

And anything is possible for us
No matter how impossible it was

If you're gonna lie
At least make it clear
I'm already blind
And your lies are
Hard to hear

I'm short on time
So just listen here
I don't want to try
So just leave me
Here tonight

Another line
Another try
Another waste of time and space
Another line
On borrowed time
Another day to make my case

I guess you know
I'm all alone
I'm headed home
With my tail between my legs

And is it wrong
To play along
To sing the song
That you've always wanted me to

'Cus I've gone deaf
And I've gone blind
And I have crossed
Every invisible line

And I can try (say what you will)
Invoke the divine (time to heal, time to kill)
Bend space and time (we all have our race to run)
And pray my wish comes true

Or I can cheat (take it all away from me)
Just be discreet (pull me out of the debris)
Wipe off your feet
When you come in the door

Or go insane
Blow out my brains
Cut the last frame
That's how we want it to end

Wouldn't that be pretty?
I guess it would
I guess it should
fit in your picture frame

Can I ever admit it? (say what you will)
That I'm just quitting (time to heal, time to kill)
Whenever it gets too hard (we all have our race to run)
For me to see?

No I'll never admit it (take it all away from me)
'Cus I'm never quitting (pull me out of the debris)
'Cus it never gets too hard
For me to see
I see everything

The ocean is nothing but water
Lying on top of some sand
Rising to the call of the moonlight
Eating away at the land

Eternity is nothing but space
Lying on top of the sky
Floating at the whim of the sunlight
Watching all the planets go by

You and I are nothing but memories
Hidden in the back of my mind
Every day there's less to remember
Sometimes I forget to try

If I wait for you here
Would you reappear
If only for a moment
Or would I disappear
It used to be so clear
But only for a moment

And I'm tired of trying to think
'Cus I don't know what to say
'Cus these words I cannot speak
And this prayer I cannot pray

Am I so
Disadvantaged
No trees grow
None planted

I'm empty
I've had it
No trees grow
None planted

If I fall asleep tonight
Then I guessed
the meaning right
If I had to guess

If I fall asleep tonight
Won't be wrong
I won't be right
Fill in the rest
With my best guess

Evacuate the planet
No trees grow
I planned it

I can't wait
Can't stand it
No trees grow
I planned it

It's not easy as it seems
It's not easy for me

I've given up
I'm tired of trying
I'm ready to call it quits
And sleep where I'm lying
And it may be surprising
For you to see...

I've run away
On paths that are winding
Is that what you're calling this
Is that satisfying
And is it surprising
For you to see
That this is me smiling

Maybe you're right
And I'm just not trying
The galaxy's caving in
And everyone's dying
And is it surprising
For you to see
That this is me smiling

This is me growing up
This is me shedding skin
This is me calling this
For what it is

And I know you won't let me drown
In my own confidence
What if nothing else holds up
What if nothing else makes sense

Everyone has
A story they're buying
And all of them end the same
With the heroes all dying
And it may be surprising
For you to see
That this is me smiling

So what about us
What about now
Shouldn't we try
And figure this out
We were always in love
Never in doubt
We let it go by
We let it go out
Our shoulda been love

What did you say to me
You've got a better place to be
You've got a whole big world to see
And we're just not working out

Well baby I'm tired too
I've been working hard for you
But no matter what I do
It never quite works out

We just got turned around
And then got flipped upside down
But I know we'll work it out
And start over again

We'll figure the whole mess out
Get over our fears and doubts
Then we'll turn the whole world around
And start over again
