AIN'T COMING BACK
do you like it there hometown nowhere?
nothing grows, no one cares
life is bare
do you like it there?
it's where we're from but the family's done
you're still living under someone else's thumb
don't you wanna run?
you can say that the world's too tough
you can say you're not old enough
say what you want but I don't see why you're staying
I got away, and I don't look back, no I don't look back
I got away, and I won't come back - ain't coming back
do you like it there where the earth is square
everybody's running scared
you hardly dare to breathe the air
no one looks up to see the sun
the best years of your life are done
you're still so young
don't you wanna run?
you can say that the world's too tough
you can say you're not old enough
say you got a job and now it's paying
you can say that it's not so bad
it's the only home that you've ever had
say what you want but I don't see why you're staying
I got away, and I don't look back, no I don't look back
I got away, and I won't come back - ain't coming back
I got away, and I don't look back - ain't coming back
ain't coming back

Come Here Tonight

COME HERE TONIGHT
even though my eyes are closed
I can picture everything
the shape of you beneath your clothes
the world on a string
and that little smile
now I'm getting lost again
sinking with the sun
I can feel the oxygen
rush out of my lungs
but I'll wait a while
until you come tonight, here tonight
come here tonight, here tonight
come and drive me wild
even though my eyes are closed
I'm blessed with second sight
living in the afterglow
living for tonight in a little while
when you come tonight, here tonight
come here tonight, here tonight
come and drive me wild

I Remember It Exactly

I REMEMBER IT EXACTLY
light from a star
shining on your fingers
your fingers on my arm
that light carries far
I see it on your fingers
still feel it on my arm
I never meant to carry this forever
I never meant to hold it
but now it's holding me because
I remember it exactly
I remember it exactly
I remember it exactly
oh, exactly as it was
now that we're gone
casting other shadows
casting out beyond
that light lingers on
sharpening the shadows
sharpening the dawn
on and on, on and on
on and on
I remember it exactly
I remember it exactly
I remember it exactly
oh, exactly as it was
light from a star
shining on your fingers
your fingers on my arm

HALF AN HOUR
everyone here
in this whole town
knows everything you've done before the sun goes down
they tell their friends
they'd tell our folks
they talk and talk and won't stop til they choke
so meet me in the shadows
of the water tower
and we can hold each other for a half an hour
I work midnight
til 9:15
you punch in at 10 and we're left in between
so meet me in the shadows
of the water tower
and we can hold each other for a half an hour
one of these days
we'll make it out
the last they'll see is our lights heading south
so meet me in the shadows
of the water tower
and we can hold each other for a half an hour
we can hold each other for a half an hour
we can hold each other for a half an hour

SATURDAY NIGHT SOMEWHERE ELSE
do you live with the feeling that things are going south?
do you live in the basement of someone else's house?
do you live for the weekend?
do you live with the memory of what you used to be?
do you live like an actor for your family?
do you live through your best friend?
oh yeah
and everyone tells themself
I'm just having fun when I drink myself to oblivion
oblivion
because it's saturday night somewhere else
do you think you're a part of whatever's going on?
do you think that they'd notice if one day you were gone?
do you think that you're something?
oh yeah
and everyone tells themself
I'm just having fun when I drink myself to oblivion
oblivion
because it's saturday night somewhere else
it must be saturday night somewhere else
do you run like a beater running out of gas?
do you run like the devil but always come in last?
do you run for no reason?
do you run for your reasons?
do you run from yourself?
and everyone tells themself
I'm just having fun when I drink myself to oblivion
oblivion
oblivion

Don't Let Go

DON'T LET GO
leave the window open everything could change
I don't know where it's going but it can't stay the same
and if it all gets broken and nothing else remains
something will remain
I wanna see our names written in sand by the ocean's pull
give me your hand if you understand
tell me you won't let go
and if we're washed away erased from the land by the ocean's pull
give me your tight as you can
tell me you won't let go
tell me you won't let go
nobody's the first one if others came before
in a chain of someones stretching in and out the door
you think your changes are done and then you change some more
and then you change some more
I wanna see our names written in sand by the ocean's pull
give me your hand if you understand
tell me you won't let go
and if we're washed away erased from the land by the ocean's pull
give me your tight as you can
tell me you won't let go
tell me you won't let go
don't let go

NEW FRIEND IN THE CITY
I've got a new friend in the city
and I don't need you anymore
it doesn't matter how you say my name
it doesn't matter I don't feel the same
and only God can hear you pray
when you tell me that you're hoping
to see me at your door
you tell me that you're hoping
well you can hope a little more
I've got a new friend in the city
I've got a new friend I can call
I've got a new friend and she's pretty
and I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
it doesn't matter if you burn my clothes
it doesn't matter I've washed my hands of those
now I hold things that you'll never know
and you tell me that you're hoping
to see me at your door
you tell me that you're hoping
well you can hope a little more
I've got a new friend in the city
I've got a new friend I can call
I've got a new friend and she's pretty
and I don't need you anymore
I've got a new friend in the city
I've got a new friend in the city
and I don't need you anymore

Told You So

TOLD YOU SO
I told you so
some day you're going to be sorry
so there you go
now we both know that you're sorry
that you ever knew knew my name
I hope you know
that you don't owe me nothing
we both know
I owe your more than sorry
that you ever knew me
sorry that you ever knew my name
now you're the one who's talking
and every word's an arrow true and straight
I push you out, I'm over-proud
a giant mouth with nothing good to say
disappointing everyone I know
dismissing the feelings I can't show
destroying what I can't control
oh my God – I'm such an asshole
I'm sorry that you ever knew me
sorry that you ever knew my name
now you're the one who's talking
and every word's an arrow sharp and strong
I make people sad, I'm an angry dad
and if I feel bad it won't last long
disappointing everyone I know
dismissing the feelings I can't show
destroying what I can't control
oh my God – I'm such an asshole

Change Your Mind

CHANGE YOUR MIND
the open flame
burns out your eyes
and all these photographs are running out of time
in every frame
the shadows lie
nothing I'd say could make you change your mind
nothing I'd say could make you change your mind
the games you played
in black and white
were just the way you had of fucking with the light
and to this day
I don't know why
nothing I'd say could make you change your mind
nothing I'd say could make you change your mind
nothing I'd say could make you change your mind
change your mind
change your mind

GHOST TOWN
I have heard the hollow sound
of my world falling down
flaming rubble all around
an empty ghost town
when I open up my eyes
I have only planted lies
and sown salt into the ground
I built this ghost town
I built this ghost town
but I belong to you
and I have turned myself around
out of this ghost town
out of this ghost town
I poured poison in the well
I've done things that I can't tell
it's more grief than I can drown
I built this ghost town
I built this ghost town
but I belong to you
and I have turned myself around
out of this ghost town
out of this ghost town
