Semi-Charmed Life (Acoustic) - Third Eye Blind

My heart was gold And I feel it coming in waves now Something we're trying to save now There's no doubt Your heart was cold It's easy to see from the outside But Sixth Street and spring out at South By I was so down I told you I want something else To get me through this semi-charmed kinda life Baby, baby, I want something else I'm not listening when you say goodbye My heart is gold So stop trying act like an angel I'm trying hard to not hate you You're out your mind Your heart is cold Like oh, matter of fact 'cause like, when I look back Could have used a straight jacket You're crazy like crazy, tell no lie Oh, I'm the shit, yeah, I know Easy come, easy go Check, I'm good on my own Still she blowing up my phone I don't want you anymore You just gotta let me go You'll regret the things you did When, girl, you're lying there alone I want something else To get me through this semi-charmed kinda life Baby, baby, I want something else I'm not listening when you say goodbye Okay, you win some, you dim sum I'm solo in my kingdom More dough than Homer Simpson And I, I want something else Can't stay, now I gotta go Took abuse from bae, no Guantanamo Gotta jump ship, real quick, go Geronimo I can't help myself, I told you I want something else To get me through this semi-charmed kinda life Baby, baby, I want something else I'm not listening when you say goodbye I want something else I want something else Semi-charmed kinda life

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling She's living, she's golden, she lives for me Says she lives for me Ovation, her own motivation She comes 'round and she goes down on me And I make her smile like a drug for you Do ever what you want to do, coming over you Keep on smiling what we go through One stop to the rhythm that divides you And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse Chop another line like a coda with a curse Come on like a freak show, takes the stage We give them the games we play, she said I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break It won't stop, I won't come down I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again, then I bumped again How do I get back there To the place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to the place Where you said? I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye I believe in the sand beneath my toes The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling I believe in the faith that grows And the four right chords can make me cry When I'm with you I feel like I could die And that would be all right, all right When the plane came in She said she was crashing The velvet it rips in the city We tripped on the urge to feel alive But now I'm struggling to surrender Those days you were wearing that velvet dress You're the priestess I must confess Those little red panties, they pass the test Slide up around the belly face Down on the mattress one I want something else To get me through this Life, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there In the place we would start out lives Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (I want something else) Doo-doo-doo

I think I'm going to change my name to lucky, and take a vacation. My life is a full house. Aces and kings. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Dance, dance, dance. I guess I'm living a charmed life. I could stuff my pockets full of ten dollar bills. But then what would I do with all these twenties? Lets go to the beach and go swimming. I guess I'm living a charmed life.

It could happen to me So many nights I've prayed for the one That would sweep me off my feet and we'd ride into the sun (It could happen to me) I've never seen him before but I know that he's real So I wait here still till his face is revealed It sounds like a storybook tale, but it's not just a fantasy I believe in my heart that it could happen to me It could happen to me It could happen to me It could happen to me As if your words were meant for- sim- and- else As if- all- your- -ay Oh- this- find my- -in Cau- -nly frustrate and confuse myself- myself- you st- ay So s- -up- as if- all- your- cau- your Love- life's- in- to- -ay -a -tracted If I give you my hand you will lead me home Can trust you- lead me home- oh I on- myself You'll lead- then- and- else As if- all- your- -ay Oh- this- find my- -in Cau- -nly frustrate and confuse myself- myself- you st- ay (It could happen to me) So s- -up- as if- all- your- cau- your Love- life's- in- to- -ay -a -tracted If I give you my hand you will lead me home When your love was new to me To- fresh- to- find Hi!

When success is on your mind But true direction is missing You know the Gods have lied but you're still smitten By the stars in your eyes I can tell you know where you are Smile sweetly and you'll be forgiven You're almost free, almost free to come and go Bed setting room for ambitious prisoner Walk away, don't take no for an answer Turn a blind eye to it all Let sleeping dogs lie Down in Queensway Like a bulldozer chasing butterflies Down sad English streets you wander Over sleeping bodies you step lightly All the snow on the ground Lets you pass by without a sound One last look before you disappear Walk away, don't take no for an answer Turn a blind eye to it all Let sleeping dogs lie Down in Queensway Walk away, don't take no for an answer Turn a blind eye to it all Let sleeping dogs lie Down in Queensway

The rise and fall of my sloppy love The smatterings, and splatterings They'll get you I'm not the one you were thinking of Maybe you thought I'd call Instead of crashing down your hall Hold me down, I wanna find out You know you will never get what you need Blue Diamond strike 'em anywhere First we caffeinate then incinerate We'll get you And sparks will fly in the summer air Did you pull out of your stall Maybe I'll see you after all Hold me down, I wanna find out We say no, cause I live my life like a burning man Like a burning man, a burning man Like a burning man And I won't get enough until my legs are broken The stars they shine in an empty void Life is not to fear, life is to enjoy He'll get you Oh, Mr. Death catches all someday Baby I thought you'd call Or leave a light on in the hall Hold me down but I'll find out We say no, cause I live my life like a burning man Like a burning man, a burning man Like a burning man Hold me down, I wanna find out We say no, cause I live my life like a burning man Like a burning man, a burning man Like a burning man And I won't get enough, until my legs are broken

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm And there's a demon in my brain Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm whelm whelm And there it goes, my last chance for peace You lay me down, but I get no release And I say I, I try to keep awake I try to swim beneath I try to keep awake But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare And there's a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I hold my breath till it's more than I can take And I close my eyes and dream that I'm awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except what's on my mind Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know that I'll never get back out And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said How'd you like to be alone and drowning How'd you like to be alone and drowning How'd you like to be alone and drowning How'd you like to be alone and drowning Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide Into another nightmare Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake And I can feel this narcolepsy slide

Everything is quiet since you're not around And I live in the numbness now In the background I do the things we did before I walk Haight Street to the store And they say where's that crazy girl You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more I don't see you anymore since the hospital The plans I make still have you in them Cause you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel for you I only know because I carry you around In the background I'm in the background Words they come and memories all repeat I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets And I would never lie to you no I would never lie to you no I felt you long after we were through, we were through The plans I make still have you in them Cause you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel for you I only know because I carry you around In the background Cause I felt you long after we were through Well you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel to you I only know because I'm way I'm way in the background I'm in the background
