Things You'll Keep

Sat outside the darkened house
Reading one of your old letters
I'd carried it from town to town
I sometimes hoped for you
Things got better
It says" We'e got a place by the river now
The rooms are full of light, it's still our town
If there's such a thing as a second chance...
I want it now."
That's what it says
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
You thought there was a way out
So you took it on your hands and knees
Oh what if your best days are gone
How do you plead?
And if day to day is a hurting thing
You're even tired of all beauty now
And you said goodbye to your baby face
You said it to just about everything
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Nobody said you wouldn't win
You said goodbye to your baby face
And just about everything
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Everybody was skinny then
And they said you wouldn't hear
You said goodbye to your baby face
And just about everything
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?

Here's to the losers
Some get away, some fall behind
We're not getting any younger
All that I ask you is to be kind
All these failures, we're staring down the past
Where the good times roll
I get tired of living
Or maybe I'm just tired of who I am
Failure blows away all your childish plans
But thank you for making me beg
Now I'd love to get out of my head
Here's to the losers
Who have given up their ghosts
Who lost all their connections
Who go missing every boat
People say "glad to be here"
Now don't get in here
I can't get that done
I get tired of living
At the same old scene
Fame and fortune
They're killing me
But thank you for making me beg
Now I'd love to get out of my head
I had a long stretch dozing
I was trying to get off
All the lights went rushing past me
Something good, gone
All these failures, we're staring down the past
Where the good times roll
I get tired of living
Or maybe I'm just tired of who I am
Failure blows away all your childish plans
But thank you for making me beg
Now I'd Iove to get out of my head
I get tired

World of Liars

We lived above the railroads and
We watched the lightning trains
Through the early dark
With just enough to pay the rent
Kept thinking one day going to make it
Oh, we never did make it
We never did make it
What's left of us at the end of the ride
Photos, letters and lies
If no one is true, not even me and you
We're in a world of liars
If no one is true, not even me and you
We're in a world of liars
It's a world of liars
A smoky room, a jukebox plays
Killing me with kindness
I fell for that, I always do
I can feel myself going under
That's how it gets lately
That's how it feels lately
What happened of the life that we knew
Whatever happened to us
No one is true, not even me or you
We're in a world of liars
'Cause no one is true, not even me or you
We're in a world of liars
It's a world of liars
My heart and yours were always at each other's strokes
It proves how much we care
And didn't we care
And didn't we care
And didn't we care
In a world of liars
Waterfront and the warm bus
I know these places backwards
If melancholy takes your hand
You away
Once in a while maybe
Once in a while maybe
What happened of the life we knew
Whatever happened to us
If no one is true, not even me or you
We're in a world of liars
If no one is true, not even me or you
We're in a world of liars
You and me, me and you
What happened to
You and me and me and you
What happened to
Well, it's not our world anymore
It's not our world anymore
It's not our world anymore
It's not ours

Mr Somewhere

Day comes up sicker than a cat
Something's wrong that is that
Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
A boat from the river takes you out
'Cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
You take the tide, any tide, any tide
Like there isn't gonna be any tide
Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure
Just how much
A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly
Softly look, no hands upon
Mr. somewhere missing somewhere
Never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure
Just how much
Now the milkman beats you to the door
That was once a home, home no more
Mr. somewhere, missing somewhere
Couldn't get the calendar to stop
Missing somewhere, never did figure
Just how much
Missing somewhere, never will admit just how much
