Took a deep breath in the mirror He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do Turned the lock and put my headphones on He always said he didn't get this song but I do, I do Walked in expecting you'd be late But you got here early And you stand and wait I walk to you You pulled my chair out and helped me in And you don't know how nice that is, but I do And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny Because he never did I've been spending the last 8 months Thinking all over he does This is a break, a burn, an end But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again You said you never met one girl Who has as many James Taylor records as you But I do We tell stories and you don't know why I'm coming off a little shy, but I do But you throw your head back Laughing like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny Because he never did I've been spending the last 8 months Thinking all over he does This is a break, a burn, an end But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again And we walk down the block to my car And I almost brought him up But you start to talk about the movies That your family watches every single Christmas And I won't talk about that For the first time, what's past is past Because you throw your head back Laughing like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny Because he never did I've been spending the last 8 months Thinking all over he does This is a break, a burn, an end Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

Welcome friends to seconds lost And starts that won't begin To twisted eyes that see inside Rules that always bend A simple task, a see-through mask That questions where and why We shared our skin to occupy And keep our piece of mind Bring only what you need to survive They burned an image from lines on my face They stole it from the pages that kept my place I stand on the outside, would die to get in I crawl inside just to begin again It's so unfair, this broken smile That keeps us all aware Of wishful thoughts and scenes we lost And times we'll never share I'll ask you now to show me how To fill the circle in What tells us all, there is no fall And the story never ends Bring only what you need to survive They burned an image from lines on my face They stole it from the pages that kept my place I stand on the outside, would die to get in I crawl inside just to begin again They never warned, they never cared I wished you'd understand, I'm already dead What would you be, why would you die? How would you lie? Take something from me (They burned an image) They took it from me They made a demon (They burned an image) They took it from me (Image, image) They burned an image from lines on my face They stole it from the pages that kept my place I stand on the outside, would die to get in I crawl inside just to begin again They burned an image from lines on my face They stole it from the pages that kept my place I stand on the outside and died to get in I crawl inside just to begin again

I gave up hope Was dead inside Stayed lost within a world I chose to hide Then I found my faith in him And now I can Begin again I once believed Our fate was sealed But now at last, the truth has been revealed In an instant Life could change And now and then begin again I know that I am meant for something more That life beyond these walls Has greater things in store When I heard his voice, I realized I'd never be the same Instantly I knew my life had changed I dream of peace Above all else To share a world where we could be ourselves We must learn to rise above the past Before we can at last Begin again

I wish you'd call me on the telephone I want to hear your voice Reaching late into the night I would live on the telephone if I was Listening to you talk about your day I nod my head, count the days gone by Since I held onto your words I used to call you on the telephone I couldn't catch my breath To expel a single word You would hang up your telephone You always looked confused Then you'd turn and close the blinds I nod my head, count the days gone by Since I held onto your words Pick up your telephone Pick up your telephone

All of your friends started wondering Why you were choking back tears at an easy goodbye Everything started feeling urgent today When you open your mouth, you have nothing to say Jaywalker with your head hung low You never saw it coming Moving your lips like you're wanting to smile Everything that you love always goes out of style Took a good chance on a triumph or two Hangin' around town never looked good on you Jaywalker with your head hung low You never saw it coming It's been a few years, you can barely recall Why the things that you said have you feeling so small Thirty-one years, now you're up on your feet Staring down at your shoes as you're crossing the street Jaywalker with your head hung low You never saw it coming Woke up confused in a hospital gown With your arm in a sling and nobody around Dreamed about Judy, she was driving a car You were crossing the street, didn't get very far Jaywalker with your head hung low You never saw it coming Jaywalker with your head hung low You never saw it coming

Judy and me, every week Would buy a ticket for the Wednesday night lottery She'd pick up the numbers, I'd pick it up Would it feel different if I was holding the winning one? What would you buy? I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice Judy and me, every week Would order doubles 'til the numbers were released I wanted to pick them one week But I swore that'd be the week that they pick her numbers What would you buy? I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice Judy and me, every time Would get our hopes up a little too high Judy and me would squint our eyes To read the numbers and say "Maybe next time" What would you buy? I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night What would you buy? I'd buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice

Don't watch yourself, watch the movie This only happens for a little while Because Satan is waiting, Satan is wating With Halloween candy All of the best parts make you sorry All of the worst parts make you strong And Satan is waiting, Satan is waiting With Halloween candy One long disciplined life and at the end I'm taking my shoes off and jumping on in One invitation, one bite-sized bar Would you like to come swimming in the big lake of fire? One long disciplined life and at the end I'm taking my shoes off and jumping on in Satan is waiting, Satan is waiting Satan is waiting, Satan is waiting Satan is waiting, Satan is waiting Don't watch yourself, watch the movie

Oh, boy Norm Lays on his side With heavy eyelids And the price is right Breathes inward And drifts on out Losing the edges Winning the prizes And when the television's silent I speak into his dream "Stop these wicked ways And I will lead you to The promised land" Oh, boy Norm On his side Clutching the sofa Eyes open wide "Is someone in here?" He asks out loud Sits up straight Turns the TV down And looking all around him He hears it once again "Stop these wicked ways And I will lead you to The promised land"

A light conversation Floats between windows Then makes its way through the aisles So playful together I knew it would be It feels like I know you so well Oh, my Never want to leave your side This isn't the end Receipts and plastic bags Where did your car go?

We're leaving the city Where did your phone go? You get quiet, you are scared Just watching the sunset And I'm letting you know Just how long I've loved you for Oh, my Never want to leave your side This isn't the end Oh, my Never want to leave your side This isn't the end Oh, my Never want to leave your side
