From the first, I saw
A moment that never was
It had meaning for us both
Snatched up in the mighty jaws
Leary had the fatal flaw
I bought a golden calf
I shipped it over to your dorm
Or did you call it your old flat?
[Chorus]: We were oh so fine
In the sun, in the sun
We will get there in due time
In the sun, in the sun
The lady that lives next door
Told me not to flee
"I know that she'll say, 'no'"
"She will teach you how to be free"
In the park that same day
I saw the leaves walk in the rain
Afraid of heights, afraid of falling down
I asked her if you were okay
[Chorus]
I hope you'll love me as I love you
Her hair had changed with the leaves (with the leaves)
But her eyes stayed the same (the exact same)
When she looked up at me
I really felt okay
[Chorus]
I hope you'll love me as I love you

Walk through the stacks
Bow your wee head
Don't turn your back
The rotten past is dead
My life is good
But ours would be better
If you'd be willing
To stop by and borrow my sweaters
[Chorus]: A life of
Misfortune
Constant bad luck
For these two
Medals
I'll become a monk
We got moving quickly
No room for complaints
I tried to save thee
No need for a saint
I know life is torture
I tried to pull you through
Exchange it for a letter
Edited just for you
Public scenes
I can't mind
All I ever wanted to do
Now we do it all the time
I couldn't have found a ruby
Quite as shiny as you
I love love love you dearly
I have all the time to prove it
[Chorus]
I'll become a monk

Maybe we got a little off track
From here on out, there's no turning back
You know I hate it when you look at me like that
Break my heart and I'll break yours back
[Chorus]: The roads I've crossed are all made of bricks and stones
I've crossed them all to get somewhere so they'd lead me back home
Sitting, writing, and waiting to die in my room alone
Don't answer the phone, stay in the yard and be on your own
You wanted me but now you don't
Your so-called, "love" it was a joke
Don't come asking me to atone for your bad back
Break my heart and I'll break yours back
[Chorus]
What's this life that we are living?
I know you're scared, oh I know you're chicken
You were taught to never ever give in
But where does that leave us now?
Pretty soon, you'll be alone on your own
I'll give you some time to catch up on your soaps
For me, I won't be lounging in bath robes
I'm just going to be me
Whatever the fuck that means

A whole year of fun
Stupendously enjoying you, going numb
My love would stick out like a sore thumb
Behind it lied the grey mentality of one
When dreams approach
You have but one chance
To turn this lost boy
Into a found man
Well, you know he's got
The grandest of plans
And I'll just sit here
Eating peas straight out of the can
[Chorus]:I never was scared
Of my feelings taking control
Of my life
New doubts have arisen
The circumstance has given
Us the right to stand out
So tell the whole world what my whole fuss is about
"So how've you been?"
I asked her over dm
"I'm just with some friends
I don't know, I don't know where to begin
Has that land given you all you asked for
Or have you failed?"
"You can cut my success with a knife like butter
I'll send a piece of it to you in the mail"
[Chorus]
Love is a tricky thing
No one knows quite what it will bring
Sometimes joy
Often times pain
Everyone needs to be truly insane
At least once in their lives

Those were the worst winters of my entire life
I spent them desolate and alone
Plotting to kill myself
Each and every night
Even in my room, I was not at home
[Chorus]:Poor souls roam around me
Lost in forbidden patterns and shapes
Although depression makes me not see
I believe I found an escape
Get away, get away and flow to your own
Way of living, way of libing now
What can you show?
[Chorus]
I will only see it before it is gone

I don't have feelings for you
I know that you want me to
I run away, you try to stay
In my home with all of my food
You're listening to lies
Working overtime for men's eyes
You bend on down, try to turn them 'round
You're gonna meet your demise
[Chorus]: But this white collar won't stain
When it is laced with money
She's going to tie their bonds
Before they get married
Hold on
Why would she take the road to Hell?
Can't she move on
As he does as well?
The path I take is long
Over dog poop on their lawns
The children come, they all want some
It's a Charleswood deer's fawn
I've played your games
They drove me insane
I tried and tried but you denied
That it was all okay
You let it go too soon
Tried to get it back, boo hoo
Now it's all up to you
I'm 17 but I feel 42
[Chorus]

When I was young
I looked for love
Yet I found none
When I found some
It wasn't much fun
Yeah I was better off with no one
Then one girl came to me
We met in my dreams
At a show in the city
"Would you like to see
My apartment?" And then he
Climbed on up there for some tea
[Chorus]: Oh, she's so pretty
On a scale of one to ten, she's a fifty
Jiggity along, jiggity
Do a little dance, celebrate because
She's really with me
Outside it's warm
I feel a coming storm
The rain, bring it on
I won't even put my poncho on
The heat, it makes me weak
I feel my balls are stickin' to the bus seat
I wonder what the stranger girl thinks of me
C'mon now, don't be silly
[Chorus]
Which one will I choose?
It's my mind and my heart to loose
This leather hide, it rarely forms a bruise
Waves on waves on grooves on grooves
