Oh, when I lift you up you feel Like a hundred times yourself I wish everybody knew What's so great about you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You don't think before you jump And I said I wouldn't get sucked in, I This is the last time Oh, don't tell anyone I'm here I got Tylenol, and here I was thinking That you'd call somebody closer to you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You're the only thing I want And I said I wouldn't cry about it, I This is the last time This is the last time We were so under the brine We were so vacant and kind We were so under the brine We were so vacant We were so under the brine We were so out of our minds We were so under the brine We were so vacant Oh, when I lift you up you feel Like a hundred times yourself I wish everybody knew What's so great about you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You don't think before you jump And I said I wouldn't get sucked in, I I won't be vacant anymore I won't be waitin' anymore I won't be vacant anymore I won't be waitin' anymore I won't be vacant anymore I won't be waitin' anymore I won't be vacant anymore I won't be waitin' anymore Jenny, I am in trouble Can't get these thoughts out of me Jenny, I'm seeing double I know this changes everything Jenny, I am in trouble Can't get these thoughts out of me Jenny, I'm seeing double I know this changes everything It takes a lot of pain to pick me up It takes a lot of rain in the cup Baby, you gave me bad ideas Baby, you left me sad and high

We walked on the beach beside that old hotel They're tearing it down now But it's just as well I haven't shown you everything a man can do So stay with me baby I've got plans for you This is the time to remember 'Cause it will not last forever These are the days To hold on to 'Cause we won't Although we'll want to This is the time But time is gonna change You've given me the best of you And now I need the rest of you Did you know that before you came into my life It was some kind of miracle that I survived Some day we will both look back And have to laugh We lived through a lifetime And the aftermath This is the time to remember 'Cause it will not last forever These are the days To hold on to 'Cause we won't Although we want to This is the time But time is gonna change I know we've got to move somehow But I don't want to lose you know Sometimes it's so easy To let a day Slip on by Without even seeing each other at all But this is the time you'll turn back and so will i And those will be the days you can never recall And so we embrace again Behind the dunes This beach is cold On winter afternoons But holding you close is like holding the summer sun I'm warm from the memory of days to come This is the time to remember 'Cause it will not last forever These are the days To hold on to But we won't Although we'll want to This is the time But time is gonna change You've given me the best of you But now I need the rest of you

This is the last time You don't ever have to cry Dry the tears from your eyes This is the last time You don't have to cry Go on and cry now Get it over with Oh, sometimes we know we have to let the tears fall I know, I know its hard to forget(oh baby) All the pain and misery That we both been through But all that matters Is that we together now This is the last time You dont ever have to cry Dry the tears from your eyes We tried to go our seperate ways But we couldn't be satisfied alone You're the one for me Yeah, yeah This is the last time You don't ever have to cry Dry the tears from your eyesWell now here we are once again Facing one another You looking in my eyes and im looking at yours Wondering what in the world went wrong You know it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense Just sitting here trying to figure out where the fault is Whether it was your fault whether it was mine I guess all that really matters is that what i came here to tell you And that is I don't think I can live my life without you I mean without you my days are so empty and my nights are so lonely See i need you so much See I love you so much This is the last time You don't ever have to cry We are to gether now Dry the tears from your eyes

And the days pass just like that When the tide breaks, the waves push back And I'm waiting for the feeling, one last dance I'm so tired of tearing down The people I care about My head's got my heart boxed out And the world won't let it beat I felt a rush over me It's right here but out of reach It's bittersweet, how the best times, the best times They come and go like a dream We never know how much they mean It's bittersweet, how the best times aren't the best times Until they leave And the years pass just like that And the rain falls when I look back Are we better off remembering Or forgetting how it used to be? Are we ever gonna get this back? Are we ever gonna get it back? I felt a rush over me It's right here but out of reach It's bittersweet, how the best times, the best times They come and go like a dream We never know how much they mean It's bittersweet, how the best times aren't the best times I'm so tired of tearing down The people I care about My head's got my heart boxed out We ever gonna get it back? Are we ever gonna get it back? I felt a rush over me It's right here but out of reach It's bittersweet, how the best times, the best times They come and go like a dream We never know how much they mean It's bittersweet, yeah Yeah, it's bittersweet All my life passes by What's left in my heart are the best times, the best times

In the tunnels of life We hold our breath; we close our eyes Stiff as a board until the other side We fill our lungs and we pray for light We fill our lungs and we pray for light I will make it through this, digging deep; sinking in I'm done with everything holding, holding me down I will make it through this, there's a time to die and a way to live I'm not going out like this Always smile and pretend We wanna give up; we wanna give in When hopelessness is content, yeah We feel our world's caving in We feel our world's caving in, yeah I will make it through this, digging deep; sinking in I'm done with everything holding, holding me down I will make it through this, there's a time to die and a way to live I'm not going out like this Like this, No We are the night; we are the dream We are everything we need Just breathe Just breathe We got the strength down to the bone We got the grip that shapes the mold We make our own We make our own It's all risk Don't ever regret Taking every chance we get to make our own To make our own, yeah I will make it through this, digging deep; sinking in I'm done with everything holding, holding me down I will make it through this, there's a time to die and a way to live I'm not going out like this Like this, No I gasp for air It's getting thin I'm blacking out And shedding skin As I transform I believe I feel the light lifting me Just breathe Just breathe Just breathe

Lie down, come to Spirits come through Swim up to my head Make old things new It's a little bit heavenly A little bit sick I don't feel quite like myself I've been playing with my health In my head too many days In a room I can't escape Turning into someone else It's killing me Something's in the way Something has to change It's killing me Silence in the heart Sickness in the brain Now I know This bend in my back From the weight on my soul Been looking at the world with one eye closed A little bit heavenly A little bit sick And the side effects of shit I've stepped in Side effects of truth I'm left with A spinning room I can't escape There has to be another way I'm still stuck inside myself It's killing me Something's in the way Something has to change It's killing me Silence in the heart Sickness in the brain Now I know This bend in my back From the weight on my soul Been looking at the world with one eye closed A little bit heavenly A little bit sick Spirits come through Make old things new Spirits fool you Lie down, see through Spirits fool you Slip right through your hands Old tricks turn you It's a little bit make-believe A little bit true Weeds in the garden Snakes in the soul Every day passing They grow, they grow And they grow The smoke in my lungs The fire on my tongue Spirits make me warm When my heart is not enough When it gets so numb It's a little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little unclear (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) It's a little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little sincere (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) It's a little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little unclear (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) A little bit obvious (stumble in my step) (The long gap between breaths) I don't feel quite like myself Turning into someone else It's killing me Something has to change It's killing me Silence in the heart Sickness in the brain Now I know This bend in my back From the weight on my soul Been looking at the world with one eye closed Spirits come through Make old things new Spirits fool you Spirits fool you
