You want me to believe That I can fix anything The walls crack the paint is fading And still you believe The patient and the damned And their clinic on waiting in line I can stand as long as you ‘d like And still you believe I can feel it when you stare off in the distance I can feel it when you’re coming down I get this dawning sense of realization I’m losing you Just cause you want it to be This so-called engineering of fate So i can owe it all to you And still you believe I won’t promise anything But I ask you to deliver I can bring back the sun And still you believe I can feel it when you stare off in the distance I can feel it when you’re coming down I get this dawning sense of realization I’m losing you Break the heart The clock work stops Dimming bulb and wanderlust I remember way too much to let you go

I bring my wares down your street I breathe a sigh when I turn up your drive I close my eyes and knock on your door and wait forever so you know I'm alive I tell you to name your price I'd sell my soul but you pay no mind I call your bluff you call me out I call you name And I say ooh ooh ooh I’ll be forever wasting time I’ll be forever wasting time on you Seize the day and let me go Ride with the wind right out of town I packed a bag and hit the road How I miss having you around. New years came and bells rang out And I found myself in monotones Bass beat heart echoes 'neath These skin and bone. And I say ooh ooh ooh I’ll be forever wasting time I’ll be forever wasting time on you

I'm taking the night off Finishing up and heading out Think I'm gonna write this off Closing up and moving out I can hear the playback Listen to the back beat Wonder if I should add a clap track I think we got what it needs I'm gonna take the night off I'm gonna take the night off Won't say I got better to do Only different but the same Won't say I won't come back to you Not different but not the same I need to hear the playback Need to hear the backbeat filling in Need to check the high hat I think you know what I need I'm gonna take the night off I'm gonna sit back and listen in I'm gonna take the night off Checking out to dig on in I'm gonna take the night off Forgive me, dear The message clear I've got too much on my plate But it's getting pretty late I'm gonna take the night off I'm gonna sit back and listen in I'm gonna take the night off Checking out to dig on in I'm gonna take the night off I'm gonna take the night off

[CHORUS] There are 9 days between us While a second's too long 9 days make a difference And the difference is wrong A year of emotions Can pass in a day And the feelings that you have Just won't go away It takes a little longer Than you hoped that it would All the fretting in your head Is doing you no good [CHORUS] You may have grown impatient But you didn't grow up I'm trying to convince You that I'll still show up I know that it scares you When you're wrong in your dreams And the life you see before you Isn't what it seems [CHORUS] Take the time to consider That's it's not too rough And you'll realise That 9 days is enough

It's closing in you're running out I'm finding out so many things the lies we bring I know your face the feel of your skin to know I'm inside you breaks my heart it falls apart this won't be my last chance but this will be my first designed mistake I give and take you call my name a killing word the sound I heard brings me to my knees I aim to please if I'm to sleep I wait for you the beats on one and two take my breath if I could rest this won't be my last chance but this will be my first designed mistake I give and take this won't be my last chance but this will be my first designed mistake I give and take

The sky is falling around us With no regard for where we've been And this plane is righting itself But I'm not strapped in Down and locked Floating is like falling with an uncertain end Reaching out, I can feel you now This is where i can belong I can let you show me how Down and locked

You say you’re on the ropes And you’re not getting up There’s sense in the bell that rings And the arms of the floor hold you close But this won’t last You pick yourself up Just to fall from greater heights And I can see my house from here I can see it all This won’t last Tomorrow’s lost it’s way And today won’t take the hint But this won’t last Everything can change This won't last

[Instrumental]

At breakpoint, brake check Snap your neck at the sight Who cares who tries You know what's wrong or right Better to have never had than to know what you lost Take heart, sweat heart you can't make it if You're holding on You're holding on You're holding on High tide, go inside cover your ears to the sound Fall down, break up smash yourself to the ground Close eyes, bow your head Say a little prayer Give up just a little If you think you can Hold On Just holding on Just holding on

I'm gonna get you what you can't forget I'm gonna get you what you can't forget I'm gonna get you what you can't forget No I won't let you forget I'll tell you something (I'll tell you nothing) Lest you forget This is my new day (This is my reset) This is what you get This is gonna be the new thing baby Even better than the real thing baby This is gonna be the new thing baby It's so new so new so new yeah I'll tell you something (I'll tell you nothing) Lest you forget This is my new day (This is my reset) This is what you get (oohs and ahhs) Will you tell me if I break you? You you let me try and break you? Will you tell me if I break you, honey? Will you notice when I break you? I'll tell you something (I'll tell you nothing) Lest you forget This is my new day (This is my reset) This is what you get

Sittin’ on the couch, watch a movie on the TV On a cool February eve, Had to turn it down, there was a sound outside, I couldn’t hear it o’er the vee Like a growlin’ and a barkin, There must have been one Hell of a fight So I threw on my boots, And headed into the night Wish I’d stayed where I had been Dog’s messin’ with a skunk again (Chorus) You know he never learns his lesson There’s no way to tone it down He foams at the mouth Rubs his face on the ground Ain’t no way to win He’s messin’ with a skunk again (Verse) I take him in the bathtub, wash the oil out the fur I’ll use whatever I find, I’ll mix up buttermilk, (breathe) orange juice, canned tomatoes, Arm-n-hammer, and hydrogen peroxide But no matter how much smell, You wash on down the pipes There’s always plenty left, To smell for a fortnight Wish I’d stayed where I had been Dog’s messin’ with a skunk again (Chorus) You know he never learns his lesson There’s no way to tone it down He foams at the mouth Rubs his face on the ground Ain’t no way to w in He’s messin’ with a skunk again (Verse) Had to set the pet gates, move his bowl outside And cover the bed and couch Can’t take the chance that he might jump up Cause you can’t just wash it out I’m afraid it’s just the way he is, It happens every spring When the critters get all twitter-pated, You know he’ll snap at anything Wish I’d stayed there on the couch Dog’s messin’ with a skunk again (Chorus) You’d think he’d learn his lesson There’s no way to tone it down He’ll foam at the mouth Rub his burnin’ eyes on the ground Ain’t no way to win He’s messin’ with a skunk again

It’s all the same The beginning of the end The sense of separation And the longing in between I found a way to bridge the gap between This winter celebration And the long months sight unseen I fall apart Just fall apart Let the wind take us where it may I can make it back I can feel what no one says As I’m saw in half Drawn apart I can feel what no one says As I’m saw in half We’re drawn apart
