Now there's meaning in the saddest songs All I do is cry and sing along Drinking alone in my party dress Would you come back if I looked my best?
The things they see in me, I cannot see myself. When you get bored of me, I'll be back on the shelf. And when the ocean rises up above the ground, Baby, I'll drown in California. You only like me when you think I'm looking sad.
Who gave who the message? Who gave who the hands of time? Who gave who the job to take the reason and the rhyme? Like another Holden Caulfield, I'm a Catcher in the Rye Who told who to take the dreams out back to die?
Is this lack of sign God’s way of telling me, “There truly is no sign,” and that nothing is really mine
And every time I tried to be what they wanted from me It never came naturally So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see All the good around me I wasted so much energy on what they thought of me Instead of simply just remembering to breathe I'm human, I'm not able to please Everyone at the same time, so now I find My peace of mind living one day at a time
So we're covered up in fiction Chasing something true But darling damn the luck And damn the consequences too I could bury all the memories I could patch up all the holes But I'd still feel you fingers on my soul
strings fray like my good days tied around my finger i felt so afraid i had my mind on her or on my own and when i looked back up everybody else was gone so i resolve to make new friends someone tell me to quit my head and help me forget it
Babe, I know this life will make you cold and leave you mad Make you homesick for a home you never had Burning out the good with all the bad
I remember breezes From winds inside your body Keep me high, Like I told you, I'll sing to them this story and know why.
I can't give up that quick My life is a candle and a wick You can put it out but you can't break it down In the end we are waiting to be lit
She sways over to me Pointing overboard But I can't see nothing She sways over to me She's still going on But I can't hear anything
The sun comes up too early Ain't that the way it seems? I left the curtains open Curtains closing on my dreams My baby's eyes are empty It's like nobody's home I'm not afraid of empty I'm afraid of all alone
Come now, elusive sign. Open up their eyes to see, So many of us, are just the same as you. Have we all hid, have we all hid ourselves from friends? So much else to give. This is her, and that is him. Close your eyes, imagine they are holding you. Will you ever find, will you ever find the words again?
Everybody's got their problems Everybody says the same things to you It's just a matter how you solve them And knowing how to change the things you've been through Sum 41 really relating to me in 2016 is kind of embarrassing
Calling to say hi on your break In less than twenty words you made My whole damn day and Oh I just love you Oh I just love you
Everything same as it's always been only more so Of course so same token, while there's life there is truth While there's truth it demands to be spoken And someone's gonna speak it It's really not a secret You just need to search it You just need to seek it
We drink and we dry up and now we crumble into dust We get wet and we corrode and now we're covered up in rust
War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The pieces fall it’s like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage So wave to those people who long to wave back From the fabric of a flag that sang "love all of the time"
Listen to the mandolin rain. Listen to the music on the lake. Listen to my heart break, every time that she runs away. Listen to the banjo wind, A sad song drifting low. Listen to the tears roll, Down my face as she turns to go
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest And visit their graves on holidays at best The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them
