In The Middle

When you talk to a crowd about love
You're always talking down from above
Like you're too good for us
Well I love what you say
But the way that you say it from a cloud
Where you live, where you can just shout anything
Like you're thinking
You were right there in the middle of it
You were right in the middle of it
Across the board, untouchable,
beyond the wall and never wrong
You were right there in the middle, in the middle, in the middle of it
You're telling me all along - all this talk -
that you were only choosing sides in a case
for the entire human race
Well don't forget that between where you are
and where you'd like to build the fire
This is us. Literally everyone you've ever crossed is here
and still you're thinking...
You were right there in the middle of it
You were right in the middle of it
Across the board, untouchable,
beyond the wall and never wrong
You were right there in the middle, in the middle, in the middle of it

Recognize

I've been here forever: right where I stand
Because how can you dance when you don't know where the beat lands?
You say "Passive aggressive."
Well, I am who I am
because too many times I've been beaten by the weaker hand
So now I'm waiting for the band to play something I recognize
We're just waiting for the band to play something we recognize
You wouldn't even believe it if you were holding my hand
But the road we're doesn't lead us to the promised land
So take it or leave it. Go as far as you can.
But I'm going to build my home on the side of the road
'til you can show me something better than.
I'll be I'm waiting for the band to play something I recognize
We're just waiting for the band to play something we recognize

Around the Bend

Tell me about your plan
Make me understand what you've got.
The cure for a broken heart;
A party that never stops no matter what
A kind of efficiency that this town has never seen:
The big light.
'Free for eternity in return for your sanity.' It's the big line.
Well I get around the bend
Every now and again
I've seen this song and dance; there's not a chance
You can't get inside my head
I was here at the beginning I'll be there at the end
I've seen this song and dance; there's not a chance
Now tell me about the man who told you that coming here
was alright
Let's have a show of hands: who has he never asked?
Oh that's right...
I didn't believe him then, and I don't believe you now
We get by.
So keep your insanity in return for eternity on the front lines.
Well I get around the bend
Every now and again
I've seen this song and dance; there's not a chance
You can't get inside my head
I was here at the beginning I'll be there at the end
I've seen this song and dance; there's not a chance
I've heard the wail and moan of every girl
Who wants to buy her way to a better world
Lover, how much is the over and under?
I get around it.
Let someone else decide how high I climb
And every day the wall gets a little higher
When the tower crumbles you'll be under the rubble
I get around it
Well I get around the bend
Every now and again
I've seen this song and dance; there's not a chance
You can't get inside my head
I was here at the beginning I'll be there at the end
I've seen this song and dance; there's not a chance

The Good Ones
04:42

Peace of mind: everything is fine.
You can keep whatever you find out there
Race to the end, and climb to the edge
You can keep whatever you find out there
I want freedom - but I'm tied in
I want to sleep now - but I'm wired in
I want peace, but I'm fighting for you
I want something - but I got nothing
I want to love it - and I'm hiding from it
I want peace, but I'm fighting for you
The world is coming up empty, and we're all alone
The trick was taking it lightly, or not at all
Because when they offer you too much and you take it all:
That's where the good ones all go wrong
Dig the ground, and the crowd gathers around
Just be glad for what you don't find out there.
The ghosts of the past, not everything good will last,
so you better keep whatever you find out there
The world is coming up empty, and we're all alone
The trick was taking it lightly, or not at all
Because when they offer you too much and you take it all:
That's where the good ones all go wrong
Look up at the midnight sky and say "That's where we are."
Where the darkness ends and the symphony starts
Up on the highest throne, tied to a sinking stone.
That's where the good ones go.
The world is coming up empty, and we're all alone
The trick was taking it lightly, or not at all
Because when they offer you too much and you take it all:
That's where the good ones all go wrong

Something Wild

I've been told some things that I was glad to hear
I have heard the words "I love you"
I could speak of things that put me on my back
At the time they seemed to be true
Of all the people who have fluttered through my lips
All of them girls, all of them boys
I've been fortunate in getting very close, but
none of them could give me the joy
Of letting you do what I let you do to me
Letting you do what you do
I can't come alive
'til you show me what I like
It's all I want to find
So show me what it's like, show me something wild
Chocolate, diamonds, jewels, and all the other stuff
That I'll give you and you'll give me
They're just pleasantries, and don't mean anything
They're keeping us from getting straight to
Letting you do what I let you do to me
Letting you do what you do
I can't come alive
'til you show me what I like
It's all I want to find
So show me what it's like, show me something wild

The story is from a book he read
That line is something his best friend says
And the chorus is from an executive
So fresh it's rotten, believe it or not,
We don't need to hear it again
Just c'mon, tell me how you really feel
C'mon, tell me how you really feel
Love is all you need, it doesn't matter who says it
The variations are endless, and yet, somehow, not present
But the lies are catching up to you
The truth is coming into view
Do you tow the line? or kick up some dust?
You're not alone; there are thousands of us
Just c'mon, tell me how you really feel
C'mon, tell me how you really feel
Tell me how you had it all and you lost it
You broke your own heart
and you've never been so alone in your whole life.
It's alright.
Love is all you need, it doesn't matter who says it
The variations are endless, and yet, somehow, not present
Just c'mon, tell me how you really feel
C'mon, tell me how you really feel
