Where's My Head?

Where I hung my coat
that's where I left my head
so you'd be wise to doubt
every single word I ever said
I just woke to eat some chocolate
and go straight back to bed

Where's my head?

but I search for reason  while I"m awake
but here there's so much less for me at stake
and the only chance that I have tonight
is if something that I ate made my dreams not right
and my love shows up in a dress of white

Where's my head?

Eat, Sleep, Repeat

It occurred to me at once that love could be a great illusion
that makes fools of brilliant thinkers every day
and sends hearts of stone and steel to a place where they would feel like they were falling falling quickly in it's wake

Is it any surprise that you feel so over-run?
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
Do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
when all this time you didn't know love, you didn't know love, you didn't know love

It occurred to me at once that love gets everything it asks for
like a young girl picking flowers in the lawn
she gets every kiss and fear, she gets every smile and tear, but still
she never finds the last of them is gone

Is it any surprise that you feel so over-run?
When all this time you had no one to tell you how to love
Do you think it's unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
when all this time you didn't know love, you didn't know love, you didn't know love

"Control Freak"

You lose control when you hold too tight
or turn your head long enough to let it bite
and faith left  me staring at the ceiling through the night
it's freaking me out 

And when I fell asleep it plagued my dreams
and 30 bits of glass had become my teeth 
they were breaking each and every time I tried to speak
it's freaking me out

You're freaking me out
and I might run like a coward for the door
You're freaking me out

You lose your mind if you lose control
it makes you feel ashamed for the hearts you stole 
and now you're own heart's scared of an attack
because you can't give them back

You're stressing me out when you prove me wrong
You're wearing me out because I've searched so long
  
throwing it all away
I blew it all
and threw it all away
but the best part is 
not knowing what I threw away
I threw it all away.

You're freaking me out
and I keep running right back to you for more
I'm in love with my doubt
It's freaking me out

Careful Now

Maybe you should make a list for me
of everything important in this world 
in order of urgency
I don't know how to feel

or maybe you should stay a mystery
and I'd know you as well as anyone else
and your will would be the same to me
'cause I don't know how to feel 

Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt someone else

maybe you should make a list for me
of everything important in this world
in order of urgency 
because I don't know how to feel
I threw everything out that didn't make sense 
I found a thousand more things that don't make sense
and I can't help but get lost in a fog like this 
'cause I don't know how to hide myself in open air
where I'm all alone

Careful now, you'll hurt yourself
Careful now, you'll hurt someone else.

Love Affair

Fell past a cheekbone hill
to a piece of her floor
The hope of the world 
in an awkward spill

oh she'd lie on her bed
and stare into harsh white light
and think that her heart's not right

Love takes her hand like a thief
takes her heart like a robber
and the feelings that would scare her
become her relief

Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.

in a flash a heart is slain
you have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
was your love in vain?

was your kiss too weak
were your eyes too tight
were you too young to be in love
much too young to be in love

"Safer on an Airplane"

It happened then. It happens now
They let you in. They let you down
and it feels like we can't get out
and it feels like hell

I think I'm safer in an airplane
I think I"m safer with lungs full of smoke 
I think I'm safer on the jetway
than a world without hope

the day came in, the day went out
not a bit of peace was spoken about
and it feels like a suicidal world
and it feels like hell

I think I'm safer in an airplane
I think I'm safer if I run through the streets
I think I'm safer on the jetway
than a world without peace

Oh what arms will stretch out when they've had enough
and they're tired of holding up arms

I think I'm safer on an airplane
I think I'm safer in the sky up above
I think I'm safer on the jetway
than a world without love

In a Crazy World

It's taken time all this fear I push back to move on
It's beating me like a panic attack since you've gone
and if I never feared to be so alone I do now
I turn to see my faded tracks in the snow.
I've come so far with no idea where to go
and if I never feared to be more alone I do now.

I need you to tell me
You'll be right by my side
when I feel alone
You'll be right by my side
In a crazy world.

it's taken hold of a fool with a fondness for pain
it turned to run without a chance to explain 
and If I never thought I'd fall like the rain I do now
and don't look back to spot where I fell
Don't you look back and don't you ever tell
cuz we know pride doesn't heal all that well

The Last Time He Saw Dorie

He was in love with tragedy
she was a wreck but he loved her
She was a wreck but so was he 
Oh the last time he saw dorie
he didn't know what to say
"thank you because you loved me"
"it's all on me because I didn't want to stay"

Live, Live, Live, Live because you 
Love, Love, Love, and love will make you 
Give, Give, Give, and Give in when you break
Break break  but you just want to 
fix your self just to break again.

"I'm a Sucker For A Kind Word"

I'd be hanging on their words
like they almost meant a thing
in the only lullaby I heard, 
their sirens blaring, singing me to sleep
holding my loved one tight

on the softness of her laugh
I could almost make my bed
but the racket of her absence joined
the sirens blaring ringing in my head
holding nothing tight 
holding nothing tight
with my eyes so wide

in a house without a backdoor
I was looking for a fire escape
and I've been ripping up the floorboards
just trying to get away
from this sleeplessness

She'd be hanging on my words
like I almost meant a thing
and I'd give anything not to let her down
or to finally sleep through just one noisey night
holding her so tight
holding her so tight
but my eyes are wide

cuz my mind just can't stop moving 
and I think I know why
It's sad
'cause I'm a sucker for a kind word
and I'll just hurt until I find one
and I'll just hurt until I find one

I've been trying all the windows
I've been running up the staircase
in a house without a backdoor

"When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out"

In other lives
in a bullet-proof suit with some friends of mine
I wrote the plot line
Only I knew who survives
who survives

and through the night
in a really fast car on an uphill climb
blew past a danger sign
and fell through darkness sublime
but awoke just in time 

They're gonna come to light tonight

in younger days
I'd do my schoolwork while the neighbors play
but stare into space
with no feeling to convey
with no look on my face

in younger days
I'm stealing bases while my mother prays
and dreading to wake
longing for one more play
one more play

I don't know what everyone was looking at
I don't care what everyone was laughing at
I don't know what everyone was staring at
but I think. I think that it's me.

Didn't I tell you
That I could hear you running out
Didn't I find you
When I knew you were hiding out
Didn't I see you
when you thought You'd never stand out
didn't I find you?
didn't I find you?
