Do You Still Love Me?

I been thinking about you, baby Been on my mind Why can't I feel your love? Heart must be blind What can I say? I didn't want it to change But in my mind, it's all so strange Do you still love me, babe? Do you still love me, babe? Do you still love me? Oh-oh Another year will pass I will count the days Another sun goes down And I'll never see the rays What can I say? I didn't want it to change Is my heart blind and our love so strange? Do you still love me, babe? Do you still love me, babe? Do you still love me? Oh-oh
Guitar Solo
Do you still love me, babe? Do you still love me, babe? Do you still love me? Oh-oh

 I could wait a thousand years, my love I'd wait for you I could stand in just one place, my love And never move As the fire burns around us in the dark One part is the world and one's my heart My love, we can do better than this My love, how can you complicate a kiss? My love, you'd love me now till doomsday comes Till doomsday comes Can you stand and face your fears, my love? I will for you I could stand in just one place, my love And never move As the fire burns around us in the dark One part is the world and one's my heart My love, we can do better than this My love, how can you complicate a kiss? My love, I'd love you now till doomsday comes My love, oh, and I don't know My love, how to let my feelings go You said you'd love me now till doomsday comes Till doomsday comes Till doomsday cones

Haunted House

Welcome to my haunted house I live here alone, ain't no one else It's the last house at the end of the block My friends all disappeared one by one The cracks in the windows and the spiders, they crawl Across the lattice from 1924 Life is too sweet, yeah, and life is too short And there's nowhere to fall And I don't want to live in this haunted house anymore I don't want to live in this haunted house anymore There's a painting on the wall I see its eyes watching me as I walk on down the hall Nobody stops to write, nobody calls My friends all disappear They all got lost The cracks in the window and the spiders, they crawl Across the lattice from 1924 Life is too sweet, man, and life is too short And there's nowhere to fall And I don't want to live in this haunted house anymore I don't want to live in this haunted house anymore

Shiver And Shake

Midnight coming, I can feel it in the air I hear your voice, run your fingers through my hair I reach out for your hand but I know it isn't there I pick up my phone and I shiver and I stare Morning coming early every day I can barely sleep, I been lying here awake I close my eyes, I see you with some guy Laughing like you never even knew I was alive Maybe I'm a fool, doesn't matter anyway My chest is all tight, my heart still aches These are the days you need double what it takes I've missed you so much I shiver and I shake I've missed you so much I shiver and I shake I've been waiting here like a dog at the door You used to throw me scraps, you don't do that anymore I miss your loving touch, I miss your embrace But if I wait here any longer I'm gonna fade away If I wait here any longer I'll just fade away

To Be Without You

It's so hard to be without you Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without Rattles in my head that empty drum filled with doubt Everything you lose, the wisdom will find its way out Every night is lonesome and is longer than before Nothing really matters anymore It's so hard to be without you Used to feel so angry, and now I only feel humble Stinging from the storm inside my ribs where it thunders Nothing left to say or really even wonder We are like a book and every page is so torn Nothing really matters anymore It's so hard not to call you Thunders in my bones out in the streets where I first saw you When everything was new and colorful, it's gotten darker Every day's a lesson, things were brighter before Nothing really matters anymore It's so hard to be without you Everyday I find another little thread of silver Waiting for me when I wake some place on the pillow And then I see the empty space beside me and remember I feel empty, I feel tired, I feel worn Nothing really matters anymore

Anything I Say To You Now

Crush it up into a paper ball, let it fly It hits the wall, hits the trash can on the side Crush it up into a paper ball, let it go Anything I ever had to say, it's all gone Anything I say to you now is just a lie Anything I say to you now but goodbye Anything I say to you now is just a lie But goodbye But goodbye Crush it up and let it go to waste, it's not working Sit and wait for somebody to tell you it's almost done Crush it up into a paper ball, it's just words Words that never really added up to much else Anything I say to you now is just a lie Anything I say to you now is just a lie Anything I say to you now, anything I say to you now Anything I say to you now but goodbye Is just a lie

Breakdown

Thorn in my side Pain I can't hide Diamonds that won't shine Oh, my soul, black as coal Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown Feel like I'm racing and I can't come down Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown God, did he cry Tears that don't dry Tomorrow will come and it'll be alright Oh, my soul lost control Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown Feel like I'm racing and I can't come down Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown Was I dreaming did I lose something in, in the night? Did I lose you? Did I lose you? Maybe I'm sleeping and in the morning I will only see the sunshine Did I lose you? Did I lose my mind? Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown Feels like I'm racing and I can't come down Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown Feels like I'm racing and I can't come down Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown

Outbound Train

How am I supposed to know When it's time to go In the middle of the night When I'm all alone Don't know what to do Don't know what I'm even supposed to say Like a train don't move 'Til it starts to roll away The cars don't move in the middle of the night Lost inside the void of the fading tail lights I swear I wasn't lonely when I met you, girl But I was so bored, I was so bored I don't know anything anymore I got this achin' in my chest Rollin' around like a pile of bones In a broken little box It sounds a lot like you Laughing to yourself In a quiet room Our eyes knowing more than they probably ought to The cars don't move in the middle of the night Lost inside the void of the fading tail lights I swear I wasn't lonely when I met you, girl But I was so bored, I was so bored I was so sure, I was so bored I was so bored, I was so bored I don't know anything anymore The walls are all cracked The fan stutters in the room Where we slept Where I woke up next to you Sometimes a man don't know When he's got to walk away I hear a rumbling and a moan I feel like an outbound train The cars don't move in the middle of the night Lost inside the void of the fading tail lights I swear I wasn't lonely when I met you, girl But I was so bored, I was so bored I was so sure, I was so bored, I was so bored I was so sure, I was so sure I was so sure I was so sure I was so sure I was so sure I don't know anything anymore

Broken Anyway

The problem is what we want to say What we want to say will just blow us both away It's ice cold and it just rained Everything we were is going down in an endless drain It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken, it was fake I just close my eyes and shake Last chance before it slips away Throw it all away and can't go back again What was whatever it became? Whatever, we will still be together in some ways It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken, it was fake And I don't know what it meant It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken anyway It was broken anyway

Tightrope

Strong winds and my head's on fire Walk another day across the high wire I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve We run the numbers spinning in the side Counting all the reasons that we're broken and we lied I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it heaves Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs All I want is for you to make me smile All I want is for you to drive me wild Pretty candles on a birthday cake Covered in confetti with the caffeine shakes Fuck all the money, everything is trash Papers in the glove box, light it up and pass Flip on the tube, we watch it 'til we sleep Ain't nothing but static and the panics and the feeling manic I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve And all I want is for you to make me smile All I want is for you to drive me wild All I want is for you to make me smile All I want is for you to drive me wild Wild
Saxophone Solo
All I want is for you to make me smile All I want is for you to drive me wild

We Disappear

Listen, I ain't got nothing for you But a bag of tricks and a broken noose Nobody hangs around that's got something to lose If I was born to be the loner, OK But I'm not made of stone And I'm so blown away Don't know what's the rubble And the parts I want to save We disappear and we fade away We disappear Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine But the moon is full and what's on my mind Is like a bad commercial in the movie of my life Was I alone, am I still? Nobody gets in, nobody ever will You deserve a future and you know I'll never change We disappear and we fade away We disappear A beggar's cough, so musical and blind Must've crossed the railways 'til he lost his mind Hard to tell the difference, didn't matter anyway We disappear and we fade away We disappear Broken mirror and my hand starts to bleed Wish I could explain but it hurts to breathe Didn't fit in my chest so I wore it on my sleeve We disappear, we disappear We disappear, we disappear
