I'll Never Be... - Owls

If I said what's on my mind You'd turn and walk away Disappearing way back in your dreams It's so hard to be unkind So easy just to say That everything is just the way it seems You look up at me And somewhere in your mind, you see A man I'll never be If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am It's getting harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be I can't get any stronger And I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied You look up at me And somewhere in your mind, you see A man I'll never be If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be Can't get any stronger And I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied You look up at me And somewhere in your mind, you still see A man I'll never be If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me I can't keep hidin' this feeling

You can write your own ticket now I'll get by without you somehow Don't you worry bout what I'll do I'll be fine without you You say you think the change will do you good If you feel that way, well, I guess it would I can live my life without you I've got places to go and things to do But I'll never be in love again My poor old heart will never mend Oh, I'll find someone to hold now and then But I'll never be in love again Something went wrong along the way And there's nothing I can do to make you stay Well, I never tried to put holds on you That's the last thing I'd ever want to do So you go your way, I'll go mine And if our paths should cross somewhere down the line I'll just say hello and shake your hand But if tears come to my eyes, please understand I'll never be in love again My poor old heart will never mend Oh, I'll find someone to hold now and then But I'll never be in love again

I'll never be the same Skies have lost their meaning for me I'll never be the same Nothing's what it once used to be And when the songbirds that sing Tell me it's spring I can't believe their song Once love was king, but kings can be wrong I'll never be the same There is such an ache in my heart I'll never be the same Since we're apart But there's a lot that a smile can hide I know deep down inside I'll never be the same Never be the same again

I'm sick again. in a blizzard lit by city streets, all the night's salk and limes have come to light in the morning. nature's what we've made of it. can't it just be nice to see me? nothing is without light. i'm sick again. the bulb's dust-skin's just it's beginning. all the night's pride and shame has been redeemed by the shadows. the sure is the cause, but thinking happy thoughts works in a way. nothing is without light. what does delay mean? i'll change my cheap woven clothing. can't let the devil recognize me. what does alone mean? i comed, muttering "jesus". and with me "i'm coming" muttered jesus. i said "every face i saw was the same face, so may we all make it home safely, cuz nothing is without light."

i'm over and out. i'm loud and i'm clear. i'm over and out. i'm loud and i'm clear. all my hands and teeth are getting off soon. the cat's already at the faucet, the girls are in bed, and i know you, youl'l come home from work. all cool violence and smiles. quiet as time and twice as handy. quiet as time and twice as handy. didn't you love me godamning every mirror behind every godamn bar, my easy aloof through tilt and clatter? my integrity and tennis shoes? the combs would know a gorgone before the mirror. in time hands can change a face, but only lose all second chances. of all you could've been but can't. blind as miles and quiet as time. blind as miles and quiet as time. i'm over and out. loud and i'm clear. i'm over and out. loud and i'm clear. i'm over and out. loud and i'm clear.

I haven't been away so long but i kept you waiting. i haven't been away so long seems some things have changed. but bad habits still make best friends. aren't we just like envelopes? keep in tough with my hands. have you yet met the new guys? let's play who here would've gone nazi. oh i enjoy myself. i'm sorry i want to die. do you still want to die? let's get it on. i'm sorry i want to die. do you still want to die? let's get it on. let's drive to alaska. let's drive to alaska. let's drive to alaska. it really is a lonely life leaving and ignoring messages. all the necklacings. let's drive to alaska. let's drive to alaska. let's drive to alaska. oh i enjoy myself. i'm sorry i want to die. do you still want to die? let's get it on. i'm sorry i want to die. do you still want to die? let's get it on. o don't we all saunter in innocently enough like, love as a battlefield video

As much as we are we will not be as much as we are. As much as we are we will not be as much as we are. Hey golgotha do your friends still do their great ike and tina karaoke? Him sword air guitaring. Her helmet clunking her roman nose. Kicking up a dirt storm. My humble mary's couldn't look, o go-bone small mountain open season easy weekend war eyeore. As much as we are will not be as much as we are. And um, how much salt is in the pot on me?

Anything i can mistake in the dark for being what i'm looking for is good enough for me. every face i saw was the same face. anything i can mistake in the dark for being what i'm looking for is good enough for me. no longer soft as water must mean never was so. ask the prettiest girl in any small town. anything i can mistake in the dark for being what i'm looking for is good enough for me. every face i saw was the same face. anything i can mistake in the dark for being what i'm looking for is good enough for me. separate and complete as a breast from its other. once you can see the end its all over. i wanted to show you all the men who say hello to me. i wanted to show you all the men at the bar or on the street, in any cafe, and see me say, yeah amen everyman, there's no real anyone.
