Landed (New Version) - Ben Folds

We'd hit the bottom I thought it was my fault And in a way I guess it was I'm just now finding out What it was all about We'd moved to the west coast Away from everyone She never told me that you called Back when I was still I was still in love Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye-bye goodbye I tried And I twisted it wrong just to make it right Had to leave myself behind And I've been flying high all night So come pick me up I've landed The daily dramas She made from nothing So nothing ever made it right She liked to push me And talk me back down Till I believed I was the crazy one And in a way I guess I was But I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye-bye goodbye I tried Dragging the sea of a trouble mind Had to leave myself behind Singing bye-bye goodbye I tried If you wrote me off I'd understand it 'Cause I've been on Some other planet So come pick me up I've landed And you will be so Happy to know I've come alone It's over And I'll open my eyes and walk out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye-bye goodbye I tried Down comes the reign of the telephone czar It's okay to call And I will answer for myself Come pick me up Come pick me up I've landed

I thought I'd write, I thought I'd let you know That the year since you've been gone, I've finally let you go And I hope you find some time to drop a note But if you won't, then you won't And I will consider you gone I know that you went straight to someone else While I worked through all this shit here by myself And I think that you should spend some time alone But if you won't, then you won't And I will, then I will consider you gone Gone, gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone, gone I wake up in the night all alone and it's alright The chemicals are wearing off since you've gone (Gone) The days go on, the lights go off and on And nothing really matters when you're gone If you think that you feel nothing at all If you don't (If you don't) Then you don't (No, you won't) If you won't (If you won't, then you- no, you won't- then you) Then you won't (If you- if you won't) And I will Then I will Yeah, I will consider you gone Gone, gone, gone, gone

You can't fool me, I saw you when you came out You got your momma's taste but you got my mouth You will always have a part of me Nobody else is ever gonna see Gracie girl With your cards to your chest walking on your toes What you got in the box only Gracie knows And I would never try to make you be Anything you didn't really wanna be Gracie girl Life flies by in seconds You're not a baby, Gracie, you're my friend You'll be a lady soon But until then you gotta do what I say You nodded off in my arms watching TV I won't move you an inch even though my arm's asleep One day you're gonna wanna go I hope we taught you everything you need to know Gracie girl There will always be a part of me Nobody else is ever gonna see But you and me My little girl My Gracie girl

Think of me Anyway you want I can be The problem if that's easier In your head Move the pieces around Things I've said Turn the memory upside down And it makes it better I know But sometimes it's hard to swallow In time I will fade away In time I won't hear what you say In time, but time takes time you know Tell your friends The things they wanna hear and see Start the drums Band against the enemy And in time I will fade away In time I won't care what you say In time, but time takes time you know In your head Move the pieces round Things I've said Turn the memory upside down It might make it better, I know But sometimes it's hard to swallow In time I will fade away In time I won't care what you say In time, but time takes time you know Time takes time you know

You don't stop Follow me into the great unknown Where pink flamingos crow Diet soda flows And what you take magically regenerates On supermarket shelves The ovens clean themselves You don't pay the tab 'til the last drop So we all ride for nothing 'Cause this train never stops We make a good team Me and you, we do You could scratch my back And I'll scratch my back too And everyone is welcome at the party, yeah People more is more Are we all on board? You don't pay the tab 'til the last drop So we all ride for nothing 'Cause this train never stops You don't stop And you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop So we all ride for nothing 'Cause this train never stops

Three AM on a friday night Driving down the highway We just saying nothing Wish I could read your mind But I barely know what I know This is probably my fault I wish that I could hold on to everything I wish that I could just have another minute Scares me to think that we'll grow up And I'll barely know ya She said that she scared to love When they're alone Cause nobody wanna be the reason Why she cut her hair alone Aye, Uh She cut it all off Baby you're beautiful You need someone to fall on Or call on You don't even need nobody You're scared of love But you don't really wanna see nobody You said that you might be gutted No heart But you walk around with a Two tone AP Bust down flooded Said she from the streets so she might be blooded Walk around with semi-automatics And I know she not a killer but she really with the static If you really came with him What you need me for? You said I miss you Type through the keyboard But you don't really wanna fall for him You had enough but then you really gave it all to him She don't even need nobody Or see nobody And I can't even be nobody You know I love it when I put my arms around you You fell in love with somebody who doesn't care for you You wanna be the reason why he wasn't there for you You put the blame on yourself and I don't get it And its a fine line I don't wanna see you crying from the sideline Baby we can ball together I'm all together You falling then we fall together She said that she scared to love When they're alone Cause nobody wanna be the reason Why she cut her hair alone Aye, Uh She cut it all off Baby you're beautiful You need someone to fall on Or call on You don't even need nobody You're scared of love but you don't really wanna see nobody You said that you might be gutted No heart But you walk around with a Smile on your face, but you hurting at the same time Okay I get it Deleted messages I know you sent it And if you say a block then we gon' spin it I know you lost your brother now you grieving And you really got the gangster love You wonder why they want your body now you making up Sudden lies at the same time Don't lie You were doing fine from the start now Booked a flight she ready to depart now She said that she scared to love When they're alone Cause nobody wanna be the reason Why she cut her hair alone Aye, Uh She cut it all off Baby you're beautiful You need someone to fall on Or call on You don't even need nobody You're scared of love but you don't really wanna see nobody You said that you might be gutted No heart But you walk around with a I wish that I could hold on to everything I wish that I could just have another minute Scares me to think that we'll grow up And I'll barely know ya
