I put on my nicest shirt
Just to say good morning
And I put on my intact jeans
Just to say I'm mourning
But I guess you didn't want me that way
And I guess you don't want me anyway
(Chorus)
Your're so cold, so cold
I thought I knew you but I guess I don't
I'm so cold, so cold
I thought you'd love me but I guess you won't
I decided to wear cologne
Just to say I love you
And I decided to brush my hair
Just to give you a clue
But I guess you didn't like me back
And I guess I'll have a heart attack
CHORUS
(Bridge)
When you're gone, when you're gone
I feel so very cold X3
When you're near, when you're near
I feel so much better X2
When you're gone, when you're gone
I feel so very cold
I guess that I'll just fake a smile
Just so you don't feel bad
And I guess that I will run away
Just to hide that I'm sad
But I guess that you're out of sight
And I guess I'll be alright

(Chorus)
You're all down-town where the cool kids go
I'm going way out East where the hipsters flow
Tonight we're gonna burn it down-burn it down X2
So many people walkin' around with no name
Their potential is wasted and their opportunity put to shame
An industrial revolution, turned into an institution
Now I know it's time for a change
CHORUS
Once the grief in my world subsides
A million little rats chew on my insides
Then in the second I find a cure
I'm told my passion has been impure
CHORUS
So I turn away and down a lonely road
Our story of revolution will never be told
Only but the story of a man and a change
It's your opportunity that's put to shame
CHORUS

The bear drinks honey with tea
Of course he does
So the bear fell in love with a bee
Of course he did
So he left her a flower
Of course he did
But she wouldn't even give him the hour
Of course she won't
(Chorus)
Oh, that's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh, it just goes to show
Nobody knows
How to show people love
Oh please dear god give me a sign from above
Salmon was the bear's favorite dish
Of course it was
So the bear fell in love with a fish
Of course he did
And he showed her all of his affection
Of course he did
But she didn't pay him any attention
Of course she won't
CHORUS
Everyone thought the bear was scary
Of course they did
So the bear fell in love with a berry
Of course he did
The little berry couldn't run away
Of course it can't
But if it could it wouln't stay
Of course it wouldn't
CHORUS

There I am lying in bed again
Thinking about tomorrow
Here I am standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to jump
Thinking about yesterday
There's the cold breathing down my neck
Singing its bitter song
I know tonight I'll be alone again
Thinking about tomorrow
There goes the sun's warm rays
Replaced with clouds and foggy days
And there goes a happier time
When I wasn't so cold
Here comes a darker time
When I'm more sad and alone
This winter will tear me apart
Snow starts to fall on the little town
And I crawl in a hole
People always shout and scream at me
But I can't hear through the static
They always complain how things should go
But life is what it is not what it should be
I love everyone, who passes me by
More than there are stars in the sky
Kids at school don't understand
Snow is a burden of the soul
But when spring comes I'll stop hibernating
Then I crawl out of my hole
April showers will bring May flowers
And my heart will be covered with daisies
But until then I'll lie in bed
Thinking about tomorrow

Don't love the pain, or those that bring it to you
Don't love the hate, or the things it makes you do
Don't drink the gasoline
Don't drink the gasoline
(Chorus)
He won't sell his soul to anybody
He won't let them waste his time
He won't get on his knees and pray to a god that doesn't exist
Don't expect him to be tame
Don't expect him to be caged
Do not rely on him to love your god
Don't let him love your government
I know you're fake, I know you're not real
CHORUS
If you let me up, I'll let you down
I just want to turn the world around
I ain't got no shovel, so I'll use my hand
I dug a hole to bury by head in the sand
Yes, I know that you hate me
Yes, I know I am wrong
CHORUS
I thought I was appreciated
I guess I was mistaken
Now I've got not nothing left to lose
I've got nothing left to lose X6
I've got nothing left.

I love the colors in my mind
I think about them all the time
They make me happy, they make me smile
But they only last a little while
(Chorus)
Yes I got, a happy bag
No I ain't got, laughing gas
I drink the colors, drink them all down
Went to the city, out on the town
I've gotta get more, revive the colors
I've gotta get more, meet with the sisters
CHORUS
I had a dream, a dream about colors
It made me think of the falters
In my head
I am laughing
In my heart
I am crying
CHORUS

I used to love the spring
Then up came this thing
She broke my heart, I fell apart
There goes my happy spring
She said she'd never leave me
My naive fantasy
There I died, there I tried
But now there's nothing left of me
(Chorus)
It's OK to remember every now and then
Just as long as you know it'll never be the past again
Did you know that I love you, did you know that I care
I tried to get rid of the pictures
I tried to give myself lectures
On how I should forget, how I shouldn't quit
But I've been paralyzed by these tortures
Can you tell me what happened?
Can you explain your absence?
Did I do something bad, did I make you sad?
Or were you just repulsed by my presence?
CHORUS
I know this song sounds happy
That's just to hide how sad I am
You said "ew" now I know it's true
You really are just cold and sad
I sang this song to a spider
Because he reminded me of you
He said he wouldn't bite me
But then he did
So I scraped him across the floor with my shoe
CHORUS
I'm starting to come to terms
Two people on different paths
No I ain't mad, no I ain't sad
Just given up on trying to understand
As you walk away
I wave goodbye
There's something good, there's something great
This time I didn't cry
CHORUS
It's OK to remember very now and then
Just as long as you know it'll never be the past again X3
It'll never be the past again X4

I have this though that's creeping
Strikes me in the night while I am sleeping
A dream of a grandiose fantasy
It's my false placebo prophecy
(Chorus)
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with you X2
I lock myself away in my room
Living in headphones don't know what to do
So I wrote this song to humor myself
I put my heart in a glass case on my shelf
CHORUS X2
Once again decide to live in headphones
The music ensures me that I'm not alone
Hide the bad memories behind my shelf
It's OK now, or so I tell myself
(Chorus *changed)
I know I'm in love
I know I'm in love with you X2

I've got this silly feeling
I like this silly feeling
You want this silly feeling?
Oh yeah
(Chorus)
I've gotta get away
I've gotta find a way
You better get outta my way
I'm gonna slip away
These people aren't my friends
You're my only friend
You've got such lovely eyes
So easy to sympathize
I'll listen to your cries
You can be my demise
If you want
CHORUS
(Bridge)
I know you're my only friend
You're all I need, and all I could get
You're so fun and addicting to play with
You've got a scent that I want to stay with
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah?

When I fall asleep
Dreams never follow
I've seen some things most children could not swallow
When I close my eyes, I'm drowning in sorrow
Waiting for salvation that doesn't come until tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
(Chorus)
I'm a sad beauty and I don't need your love X2
I use the past as a sad excuse to wallow
I've got this rock I best not go and throw
You can try and guide me, but I might not follow
I apologize if I come off as hollow
I've given up on tomorrow
CHORUS
At the graveyard of my dreams found some good memories to borrow
I've got this feeling I'm afraid to show
But I don't care, I love you and I thought you should know
Now if you'll please excuse me I must go and hang now
For me there is no tomorrow

(Chorus)
That girl is fire, but she gives me doubt
For I am water, and I freak her out
I'm like the bear, but she's not a fish
She's not a bee, she's a lioness
As for her love, I'll take a stab
I hope a lion can love a crab
CHORUS
What about her, the scorpion?
You seemed to think that she was the one
Oh no, she's just my friend
More to me than an emotional trend
CHORUS
I love the lion, she has my heart
Without her, I fall apart
As for the lion, she's my desire
When we're together I turn to fire

Hello there sweet friend of mine
Hello there sweet time
Do you know, that you're a dollar and I am a dime?
When was the last time I say you?
It is hard to say
All I know, is that I miss you everyday
(Chorus)
When the school bell rings
All the kids will sing
See you next year
But I sing a different tune
I sing, I will miss you
This road I've walked is lonely
It'd be better with you
Don't you know, that my love is true?
This summer has seemed to last forever
I wish you'd have spent it with me
The one thing I know, is that we were meant to be
CHORUS
Luckily school is nearing soon
And I will see you
You don't know, what I will do
I'll be so happy to see you
I will be full of glee
What I know for sure, is you're the only thing that makes me happy
CHORUS
