The ghosts in my house Are whispering and calling out to me They wake me up at first light The nightmare is coming home Here lies the one You gave up on Not good enough Not good enough The ghosts in my house Are laughing at me "The living can never be free" They wake me up just to go back to sleep So I'm living in a permanent dream This house will fall In drunken scrawls Not good enough We had it all So don't try to leave 'Cause you promised me So don't try to leave 'Cause you promised me Here lies the one You gave up on Not good enough Not good enough

Never one to miss out on a shebang I threw one myself with the usual gang Just a couple of girls And a couple of guys Get up, stand up, get organized I couldn't help thinking I'd seen it before A human pyramid on the seventh floor Oh, but the worst part was I knew I'd see it again It made my heart sink in I had a sip of my gin Stuck in the middle What's it all for It's giving me so little I want more You and me together We will chasing ghosts away You and me together Today It wasn't till I met you that I realized I wasn't living in a movie but a franchise Just a couple of changes but the same old thing The sequel was a flop Let the third one begin Cause your breasts are soft an warm It feels like being born We're writing the plot Playing god Cueing sunshine, cueing storm But now I'm stuck in the middle What's it all for It's giving me so little I want more You and me together We will chasing ghosts away You and me together Today My heart is a trigger You're pulling it again If you don't make it better Then who will You and me we've seen it But we haven't felt it all So chase the chosts away 'Til they're gone Sunrise at the edge of my glass Casting its hellish light over the inevitable Future memories like truncated dailies From the shoot of life We've saved our lovemiles baby We're the cabin crew of cupid's company Chasing ghosts away They go, they're going, they're gone! Watch them skate over an acre of nostalgia Slipping and sliding over the thinning ice of time Scared of being the demon Tired of being ignored Cause unless you breathe them back into existence They will be bored Like a junkie without the snort Like a jock without the sport You let them run

In my head In my heart I feel great, I feel lost And I want you to know I want you to know It's my life, I am "pro" I know things you shouldn't know But I'm willing to show I'm willing to show I don't think about giving it up Don't think about giving it up This is me and I'm making it up Is anybody real enough? I see ghosts wherever I go You know where they're hiding out Is anybody real enough? All these ghosts won't fight for their souls I know we can break them out Is anybody real enough? I am not what you thought I love hate, it gets me off And I want you to know And I want you to know So come on love, let's get drunk On our dreams, America Am I drinking alone? Drinking alone I don't think about giving it up Don't think about giving it up This is me and I'm making it up Is anybody real enough? I see ghosts wherever I go You know Where they're hiding out Is anybody real enough? All these ghosts won't fight for their souls I know we can break them out Is anybody real enough? I don't think about giving it up Don't think about, I don't think about giving it up I know I don't think about giving it up Don't think about, I don't think about giving it up I am one, I am all You know me I never fall I keep it down on the low Keep it down on the low So come on love, let's get punk Let's get high and tear shit up And keep it all on a phone Keep it all on a phone I see ghosts wherever I go You know where they're hiding out Is anybody real enough? All these ghosts won't fight for their souls I know we can break them out Is anybody real enough? I don't think about giving it up Don't think about, I don't think about giving it up I know, I think about I don't think about giving it up Don't think about, I don't think about giving it up

It hits you when you least expect You wake up, your life's a wreck No one told you hit the deck, incoming No one told you hit the deck It starts falling from the sky Eighty tons and eight miles wide It does no good to go inside It keeps coming It does no good to go inside But you are still a friend of mine Even if we have not spoken I have looked into your eyes Through the laughter and the smoke And I will curse the skies for you If it's all that I can do Maybe somehow I'll be there When you come up for air Time it moves in a straight line And every corner here is blind The world it can be so unkind, it keeps spinning There's no stopping to unwind If every breath we take's a risk And every step is a near miss How do we go on like this? We keep running How do we go on like this? You are still a friend of mine Even if we have not spoken I have looked into your eyes Through the laughter and the smoke And I will curse the skies for you If it's all that I can do Maybe somehow I'll be there When you come up for air It is everyone, not you So stop asking what'd you do We are travelling in twos It's stunning We are travelling with you You are still a friend of mine Even if we have not spoken I have looked into your eyes Through the laughter and the smoke And I will curse the skies for you If it's all that I can do Maybe somehow I'll be there When you come up for air When you come up for air

Say that we're through Since you've been gone, you don't feel blue Say we should part We've come too far to know where to start But I see the wind in the trees And the sound is so far away So please don't say, it's better this way Say it's not right We just don't work, and god knows we tried Say I was wrong Now you can see it was me all along But I read this chapter again The same one I read yesterday So please don't say, it's better this way I know we're back here again The same place we find ourselves in I'm not pretending that everything's fine I have no words of my own To unsow the seeds we have sown All I am asking is baby be kind Say that it's gone I should let go, try to move on Say that it's true You couldn't wait, you found someone new But I cannot tell you a lie My heart, it breaks every day So please don't say it's better this way So please don't say it's better this way

Sarah she can't fall in love She says I'm out of time It's getting so much harder to begin There's been so many calls here Nothing's coming across the line I'm all alone, all alone without a friend Henry he kept moving on He went from town to town He'd pack it up, try his luck again The houses he was building Never quite got off the ground He's all alone, all alone without a friend I don't know which man I'd like to be Tell me could you love a man like me When I started down this road I had one stop in mind Now I can't count the places that I've been I know I turned a corner But I must have missed the sign I'm all alone, all alone without a friend Once I was a welder Once a singer in a band A rich man with all the money I could spend One day I burned the costumes And I tore up all the plans All alone, all alone without a friend There's no other man I'd like to be Tell me could you love a man like me I might not be the man you thought you'd see Tell me could you love a man like me The skies are never empty And the lights are always on The streets go on forever without end There's someone always coming And there's someone who is gone All alone, all alone without a friend All alone, all alone without a friend

You hung your hat behind the door And it's still there, like it was before You don't live here anymore You hung your hat behind the door You used to rule with an iron hand You were the final word, you were the promised land Now you hold no keys, and you have no plan You used to rule with an iron hand We're made of strings, we're made of clay The nearest star is a long, long way They say you're coming back some day We're made of strings, we're made of clay I still talk to you sometimes And it seems strange after all this time Were you real? Were you in my mind? I still talk to you sometimes We're made of strings, we're made of clay The nearest star is a long, long way We might make it there some day We're made of strings, we're made of clay We're made of strings, we're made of clay

I've never been the bad guy, never thought I would Always took the high road, did the things I should Then they kicked me when I was down Now I'm turning this train around They taught me a lesson, they taught me twice There's only one ending for the one who's nice They said it's all gonna be just fine Then they walked out with what was mine Oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh I tried to stand up, I put out my neck I turned around there was no one else on deck I said the captain has run away I heard we'll all be the captain some day And I've been alive a long time And the load it gets heavy and high It gets hard to put your heart on the line Lord I tried, lord I tried, lord I tried I've never been the bad guy, but I played the fool All the kings and queens they're not playing by the rules When there's no hand left out for you You will learn what your hands can do Gonna change my language, gonna change my skin This one'll be concrete now no one's getting in You might not recognize my face There's a bad man in my place Oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh Give me my black hat, give me my gun I've never been the bad guy, now let's have some fun There might be blood left on the floor But I'll get what I came here for And I've been alive a long time And the load it gets heavy and high It gets hard to put your heart on the line Lord I tried, lord I tried, lord I tried

You know I'm gonna make some mistakes I've proven that I've got what it takes I won't say the words that you need to hear I won't see the part that's perfectly clear But if you take a look at my face You'll know my heart is in the right place You can tell me if I get out of line You can tell me if I'm too hard to find And every time, every time, I will do all I can every time You're living in the wind and the rain You don't mind that there is no window pane Some days when I'm along for the ride You forget that I am there by your side I never find it hard to forgive I've been guilty of the thing that you did I don't need for you to suffer and crawl I don't need for you to say much at all If every time, every time, You will do all you can every time We don't have to shout We'll work it all out We don't have to turn our whole world upside down We're just a part of this human race We're all falling down all over the place All the stars that we don't know how to read All the ways we find to make ourselves bleed I don't know how we got on this train For you and I the view is the same And nobody gets to choose where they are And nobody gets to go very far So every time, every time, We should do all we can Every time, every time We should do all we can Every time, every time We should do all we can every time
