Not even a thought that I could put into words Without it coming out completely absurd I wanna tear down the walls and build up a brand new good outlook, But I don't even know where to start... Today I'll go for a walk and look at the world all around me And look at the people and all the buildings surrounding I'll feel the city breeze flow from exhaust pipes Maybe then I'll know where to start... A pebble in space, a pebble on Earth, a pebble is not much But the love in your heart can be seen in your art and become such A similar saying sounds exactly like sayings you'd say to me when Something you'd say had been saying Nathaniel I think I know where you should start... I know where you should start. A city is something you make in your mind to hold the things you need Like fear and numbers and things you say and remembering recipes So building a place in your mind that's safe can keep you safe from things Like being afraid of the dark or not being smart or not knowing where to start And the world is a place made up of cities of buildings of hope and dreams of People like me who seem to think that they know everything When the meaning of life is not a thing you can communicate, You have to figure it out for yourself to figure out where you should start As I loop around behind the buildings to see the vines climb, I think to myself, "You know, they're not so different from power lines, And power lines are like the nerve cells that make up the brain That process data like love and colour and fear and falling rain That send a message down your spine to make your legs move, and hands paint, and wings fly at night around our room." So when I get worried, I wonder, so willing to learn where I should start, I think to myself to paint a picture of a world grown from the heart.

I'm sorry that you're joining us at such a bad time But just wait, because you'll see the world change around you And it'll be alright if you trust yourself and grow up To be someone who you know is good You're gonna be fine I know the world is scary, and I'm not gonna lie Because it doesn't get any nicer But if you find a place where you can be yourself, Go there, build a house, and settle in And you're gonna be fine And I'm sorry I'm always gone But you're gonna be fine Live like you're the bomb Cos someday you're gonna die Don't waste that precious life I know you miss me, dude, and I miss you too But if you wait, I'll visit you a lot more often We'll play video games and stay up all night But then I'll have to leave again And you're gonna be fine And I know the kids at school are a bunch of pricks But just wait, because they're wasting their lives on evil And if they knock you down, just get back up And tell them to go fuck themselves, Cos someday they're gonna die I'm so sorry I'm always gone But you're gonna be fine Just live like nothing's wrong And you're never gonna die Don't waste your precious time And I know you're trying and you've settled down But without you, I'd be a frickin' loser We'll have lots of fun when I finish school And I'll never have to miss you again Someday I'll be fine You know you raised me well and you made me me But just wait and I'll make you beam with pride And someday I hope that things will be Less insane and hectic And you're gonna be fine

When you moved up to the coast of Lake Michigan I thought that I would die You told me to write everyday, I smiled and replied that I would try You wrote me once a week, but I never wrote because I didn't know what to say But if I could send you all my worries, I'd have to write you every day I've got a new pair of walking shoes, I think that I should Try them out and walk right up to you I'll quit my job and sell my Gamecube, I really feel it's the best thing I can do When I got up to the coast where your house was at I knocked and you weren't home I left my stick and bindle there, went down to Big Lots, peed, and stole a comb I found a bench across the street, got comfortable and waited for you there You tapped my shoulder, woke me up surprised to see me, I didn't even hear you climb the stairs I've got this worn out pair of walking shoes, I think that you should Come with me, we'll take a walk downtown I'll sing you songs and tell you jokes, you'll fix my Clothes, we'll hug, and you'll show me around As we walked back up the coast of Lake Michigan, you asked me how I'd been I had so much to say, it'd been so long I didn't know where to begin I played guitar with a homeless man in Nashville when I spent the Summer down there with my mom I walked around, I roamed the towns, I had a crazy gypsy read my palm I need a new pair of walking shoes, I think that I should Stay right here because you're up here too I'll live with you and sing with you, I really feel it's the best thing I can do

When I grow up, I wanna live amongst the stars I wanna sing my songs to aliens and breathe without a helmet on I wanna piece of paper that'll stretch across the stars just like a scroll And write a song to fill it up, one that will never get old I'll fill my stomach every day with dying stars and comets and I'll never have a bedtime and everything will glow in the dark I'll have a cool guitar with shiny finish made of space stuff I'll have a cool guitar with shiny finish made of space stuff I'll have a planet all my own where people come when they are Sick of every other place and just want to be alone And on my planet, you'll be safe from all the things that fucked you up, And you'll be safe and you'll be sound and you will always be loved And when you've had enough of loneliness and need a new friend, Just ring the bell and we'll send down an application You'll have a cool new friend with similar interests made of space stuff You'll have a cool new friend with similar interests made of space stuff And if the planet self-destructs, bodies evaporating, I won't go power mad like the universe is my new play thing I'll have a planet all my own where people come when they are Sick of every other place and just want to be alone And on my planet, you'll be safe from all the things that fucked you up, And you'll be safe and you'll be sound and you will always be loved I'll have a cool guitar with shiny finish made of space stuff You'll have a cool new friend with similar interests made of space stuff When we evaporate, we'll all melt down and turn to space stuff, yeah When we evaporate, we'll all melt down and turn to space stuff Turn to space stuff Turn to space stuff

Stay up with me at night When there's not a drop of light around When I'm scared to death of monsters come to Take me to their lairs underground When I can't feel alive unless I kill my self inside again Won't you keep me sane tonight? Won't you keep me sane tonight? Stay asleep with me all day When there's just no other way to live When the monsters are the people And a person thinks that what I've made is his When I can't get out of bed because the monsters in my head won't leave me alone Won't you keep me sane tonight? Won't you keep me sane tonight? Cos I'm sick of all the things that keep me running from my dreams, Sick of all the people saying "No." Sick of all the people who want nothing in the world More than they want me to go And please give me a call When there's just no hope at all for you Come with me and sing a song to People who all think it's wrong to sing And be with me the day when all my monsters go away for good Yeah, won't you keep me sane tonight? Won't you keep me sane tonight? Say, won't you keep me sane tonight? Yeah, won't you keep me sane tonight?

Alritasdoit! Uh, two, three, four! I had a friend the other day Who had the nerve to come and say That I was robbing all my favourite artists I download music illegally, An obscene act of robbery (Just disgusting!) I guess I'm too poor to listen to it Because poor people don't deserve music No, poor people don't deserve to hear me sing Poor people don't deserve music How dare I think that you guys rock? Now, this might come as quite a shock... But I can't pay a dollar a song But I never would've heard your song And I never could've sung along If I didn't rape the industry Because poor people don't deserve music No, poor people don't deserve to hear me sing Poor people don't deserve music (Super-manly laugh) So don't come down on all the fans, I buy my music, but I can't (He can't!) I'd be in debt all the way up to my tuning pegs And don't think we should feel the lash Because we don't have lots of cash We still love your music But poor people don't deserve music No, poor people don't deserve to hear me sing Poor people don't deserve music One more time! (Alright!) Poor people don't deserve music No, poor people don't deserve to hear me sing Poor people don't deserve music

If I ever learn to listen, put me in a place where no one ever goes Cos I don't ever wanna ruin the terrible mind that you've all come to know Ya know, over the years, I've realized that standing in a crowd I damn near lose my mind Baby, I just wanna keep breathing, and as long as I get the hell out of here I'll be just fine Just watch me go insane, You know it's always been my plan So I'll just stand here in the rain Just waiting for your minivan Just waiting for your minivan And if I ever start to seem normal, fill me with caffeine and lock me outside all night Don't call, don't text, don't bother me, I'll find my way home and everything'll be alright And if I act a little bit rabid, I still love you, I just need you to go away But I'll never kick my nasty habits because you have just as many and I want you to stay Just watch me go insane, You know it's always been my plan To I'll just stand here in the rain Just waiting for your minivan Yeah, if I ever learn to listen, put me in a place where no one ever goes

So long, farewell, hope you enjoyed your stay, But now it's time that we parted ways You read the script, saw it put on stage, I loved the show, but goodbye, Paige You changed your name after all these years, You've grown up, but you still have the same old fears My hourglass got knocked right over I walked through the sand, found a four-leafed clover The night's almost over to my surprise, We're all one day older, I can see it in your eyes The night's almost over to my surprise, We're all one day older, I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your eyes Hello, I love you, what've you been up to? There's no time for goodbyes, there's too much for us to do I don't want a refund if I overpay If I can be by your side for just one more day We sang a song together in A sharp minor Then walked through the rain to a run-down diner Stopped by the newsstand, everything's just fine The world's on fire, but at least you're mine The night's almost over to my surprise, We're all one day older, I can see it in your eyes The night's almost over to my surprise, We're all one day older, I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your eyes The fog's getting think, now... It's almost time for you to go The boat's almost here, I hope it floats real slow It's not a kiss goodbye, it's a song in sensation And when you left, it felt like an amputation I hope she meets someone, I hope he's just like me I hope she locks her heart, but he has the key, I walk home alone with my heart beating slowly Little did I know, I'd get over it someday The night's almost over to my surprise, We're all one day older, I can see it in your eyes The night's almost over to my surprise, We're all one day older, I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your eyes
