Adieu 03:29
I packed my bags, I'm out the door Not sure what I've got next in store I see you looking through your window pane My time is up no no need to explain I'd like to stay, but there must be more Will you remember us next June? Don't stay a stranger, write me soon I know we both got lost a lot With all the bickering and times we fought You sent me on my way, now I'll close the show And now I did what I do best I folded my cards too soon But maybe one day, I can hang with you I wanted to be the one for you But people on the sidewalk knew what's new But it's funny how things work out The next door opens and I'll check it out The time was stabbed, so I bid you adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu I now I did what I do best I returned my city key But maybe one day, you'll hang with me And now I did what I do best I folded my cards too soon But maybe one day, I can hang with you I now I did what I do best I returned my city key But maybe one day, you'll hang with me

White Wall 02:25
How would you be? Up on the silver screen? Passin' by on the corner of Avenue Catch my eye but I know that there's nothing new It's understood the description above my head Blank white wall only tinted that blue and red What would you see If you grabbed tea with me Borrowed something that I know you can't live without From 1960 gathering dust up upon my shelf Though it seems like these burdens I hold are led Blank white wall only tinted that blue and red

Season 4 03:27
What I wanna know is What's hiding your face? What I wanna know is What life do you chase? No store bought efforts Can steal your embrace So joyful, yet deadpan You cannot erase I wouldn't wanna see you go And end all of my TV shows Reruns will never be a bore You've got me stuck in season 4 You've got me stuck in season 4 You've got me stuck in season 4 You've got me stuck in season 4 It's so good to see you Haven't moved on Your quick wits and remarks Give you your charm The lights they are burning Your insecure grin You would love to hide it But that'd be a sin I wouldn't wanna see you go And end all of my TV shows Reruns will never be a bore You've got me stuck in season 4 You've got me stuck in season 4 You've got me stuck in season 4 You've got me stuck in season 4

Change 02:19
Why does everything have to end? Friends leave but then again I, Notice that you're just standing there Crowds gone, and you don't care And now I was blind to see And I was deaf to hear And I was lame to walk Away from there Why does everything have to change? Life's gone and rearranged and I Wish I could just hold your hand See the stars or see a band but I, I was was blind to see And I was deaf to hear And I was lame to walk Away from there

Picture Show 02:55
I don't know, I don't know if I ever wanted to be near Be near the things that make my head feel this way But you, you have, you have been lurking right behind my back Go back, I'd like to take a step or two away from here And I don't know what feeling's missing from our picture show But you know that I'd love to help you Despite the answer's no That day, this day, those days have up and left or so I thought I thought, my head was screwed in straight until I hit your floor (wanting more) It's just, It's just, there's something I can't put a pin on it On it... And I don't know why I keep walking to see your picture show But you know that I'd love to help you Despite the answer's no

Antique Mall 03:24
I’ve seen rain I’ve seen it fall I’ve seen everything in that antique mall oh oh oh But I haven’t seen you since. Thought I knew What I had But everything seems to spoil or go bad oh oh I know, about my luck Third time came But it ain't no charm Started just like other ones Might start to doubt when the people say That the time that the time will come Why’s it you That I chase? You seem to cause this rip in time and space whoa oh oh But I want to know your ways We don’t talk much Ain’t that strange I'm only hoping that could change some day whoa oh oh But I, haven’t much to say Third time came But it ain't no charm Just started like other ones Might start to doubt when the people say That the time that the time will come
8.
I wanna see you 'round again I hope you're doin' well my friend Returned my plea in the afternoon I hope you're doing swell Just checkin' into your sunlit room For you I shouldn't have fell You play your song on repeat It makes me think of what we could be Gotta send back the thing you lend I hope you didn't mind Maybe one day I'll give it back If I finally decide...

Goodnight 02:53
Something clicked inside my head Something snapped from that sentence you said Blinded by the light so bright that you shed Oh, it's time to say goodnight Somethings gone, there's a hole in my brain Never felt so close to Citizen Kane It's good to see you're losing at your own game So, it's time to say goodnight Cuz since you chose to be unkind Then I won't be dreaming this time This was a tough one since you made me blind So I'll say goodbye, and goodnight My records hiss but at least they stay clean A dirty mess you'll find it oh so pristine I guess things really were as bad as they seem So It's best to say Goodnight I ain't the same when I hear your song The look you gave me made me want to hold on But now I see why she told me you're wrong So, I guess I'll say goodnight Cuz since you chose to be unkind Then I won't be dreaming this time This was a tough one since you made me blind So I'll say goodbye, and goodnight This was a tough one since you made me blind So I'll say 再見, I'll say Au revoir I'll say goodbye And goodnight

Always Sung 03:11
I want this thing to end All bottled up inside Never felt so real again This thing I cannot hide Came once and went so long Oh how it felt so real My speech has been prolonged By the way you make me feel But if you were to sing with me In a way would make it last With that song the you've always sung Would throw away my past So sad your song has left My ears shall never hear But please think back and try your best To bring back its cheer But if you were to sing with me In a way would make it last With that song the you've always sung
11.
Hello my dear! How are you today? The old sun is shining bright And the way the rays fall upon your dress You make me feel very light A good ol' drive around the bend or two Or say, a stroll around the central park Whether rain or shine in your own hometown I say girl! You'll leave your mark The two of us would make a real swell team If you'd lend me your hand Oh my dear! Oh how would it be if I I was your man!
