Pity 04:34
(And it's a pity to be happy this way) Pity to be happy Pity to be warm in gladness Pity all my laughing Pity to be swarmed with sadness I'm so used to being lonely Now that I'm in love, I've nearly lost my mind There's no joy in being phony There's no joy I've nearly lost my mind It feels like heaven, but not for me I don't deserve to be in her need It feels like living in someone else's dreams In someone else's dreams Pity to be happy Pity to be warm in gladness Pity all my laughing Pity to be swarmed with sadness I'm so used to being lonely Now that I'm in love, I've nearly lost my mind There's no joy in being phony There's no joy I've nearly lost my mind My smile is bursting out of its seams Her eyes are pretty, but aren't for me It feels like living in someone else's dreams In someone else's dreams Someone else's dreams It feels like, it feels like living in someone else's dreams And it's a pity to be happy this way It's a pity to be happy It's a pity to be happy this way with her This way with her I'm so used to being lonely Now that I'm in love, I've nearly lost my mind There's no joy in being phony There's no joy I've nearly lost my mind

Call the doctor, I'm falling in I fear the pace is picking up I'm falling hard and I'm wondering If happy endings will follow us Pull the plug (don't give up) Pull the plug on this love Pull the plug (don't give up) Pull the plug on this love Nothing's adding up When the pieces are running out I see the picture I'm falling in The days grow long and I'm screaming out "What is happening?" Pull the plug (don't give up) Pull the plug on this love Pull the plug (don't give up) Pull the plug on this love Nothing's adding up Nothing's adding up Nothing's adding up Pull the plug on this love

Your fingers paint The smoothest shade across my pale and bloodless face To be erased With nothing left, but thoughts of how you'd be replaced How can you say this is my fault? How can you say it was anything but great? How can you say this is my fault? How can you say it was anything but great? You left me out Drifting 'round the same old river and same old town Hollowed out Picked apart and torn all over My eyes are older, but you seem young somehow What is love? But just a way of spending time not feeling hurt Pick me up Friends I've had for several years who've seen my worst How can you say this is your fault? How can you say it was anything but great? How can you say this is your fault? How can you say it was anything but great? You left me out Drifting 'round the same old river and same old town Hollowed out Picked apart and torn all over My eyes are older, but you seem young somehow How can you say this is mutual? How can you say it was anything but great?

Subway Train 02:16
Wasting some time Picking up dollars in change The blind man is watching his cane Lying in a subway train Just lying in a subway train Sit next to me I'm reading a paper from May It's cold but I've got a place to stay Lying in a subway train Just lying in a subway train We like sitting around in times like this Stuck at the pace of the train In times like this, times like this World in his hands But deep in his pockets they stay Never thinks much of today Lying in a subway train Just lying in a subway train Lying in a subway train Lying in a subway train

Think Fast 03:45
Kind of quiet to a city Big moon shines on a dusty sky Came time to move along Fatal cracks of a lightning strike Shakes my voice, how to sleep at night? I'm not home no more And I've never been gone this long before No, never been gone this long before Think fast Our lives are moving past The colors on my tracks are burnt and faded Going out unaided To find out where I'll last, thinking fast The air is warm out in Old Oak Ridge Never thought to cross that bridge But I knew that it led somewhere My folks back home would tell me right "This world is cruel", but not tonight So long, gift-wrapped childhood And I've never been gone this long before No, never been gone this long before Think fast Our lives are moving past The colors on my tracks are burnt and faded Going out unaided To find out where I'll last, thinking fast Think fast Our lives are moving past The colors on my tracks are burnt and faded Going out unaided To find out where I'll last, thinking fast Going out unaided To find out where I'll last, thinking fast

What does the world need me to be? How can I tell what I'm called to do? Easy for you, easy and clear Like there's a reason for you to be needed here Trust, you tell me to trust Follow my gut Nothing appeals to a sense of love I've tried it all, still feeling small Like there's a reason I'm all alone with dreamers And someday I'll know why I'm here I don't understand, please hold my hand Time has a habit of changing my plans Did it make sense? When you crossed that fence? Did it feel special for you to be needed here? I'd write every night, passing the time Helping my mind slip onto a page But I can't think deeper than me Must be a reason I'm all alone with dreamers And someday I'll know why I'm here Simple life, days just floating by Destiny, challenge me I'm all alone with dreamers And someday I'll know why I'm here I'm all alone with dreamers

Washed up by the riverside Thinking 'bout them city lights Couldn't say a word if I tried Running up and down my spine Caught in a moment drowned in all my love Tied me up with all your thoughts My heart is in a hundred knots Funny, how it happened so fast I'm floating on the tides of the past Caught in a moment drowned in all my love Caught in a moment drowned in all my love All you want, I have right here Don't you tell me different You held it in for all these years Don't you tell me different Don't you tell me different What's the use in telling lies? I see it clearly in your eyes Overflowing rivers of fear Tell me why you left me here Caught in a moment drowned in all my love Caught in a moment drowned in all my love

Eyes fixed on the road, we never lost control How far can we go? The road will let us know Driving slow, to nowhere, headed nowhere on this road Still we go, going nowhere, headed nowhere on this road We're lost, but we're fine We're starting to unwind We felt it was time to open up our minds Driving slow, to nowhere, headed nowhere on this road Still we go, going nowhere, headed nowhere on this road And I'm feeling wonderful Driving this empty road And I'm feeling wonderful Just being with you Driving slow, to nowhere, headed nowhere on this road Still we go, going nowhere, headed nowhere on this road Driving slow, to nowhere, headed nowhere on this road Still we go, going nowhere, headed nowhere on this road And I'm feeling wonderful Driving this empty road And I'm feeling wonderful Just being with you

Take My Word 04:08
Write me when you get there Think of what we will share It'll be hard for now, it'll seem long One more kiss before you're gone I wish I could see you Every single night But it's time to start those big dreams, not to cry Lift your head up from my arm We both knew that this day would come Take my word, take it as a charm Left me hoping from the start I can wait while we're apart Take my word, take my word to heart Call me when you've landed I'll feel empty-handed It is so sad to know, you cannot stay One more kiss will be okay I wish I could see you Every single night But it's time to start those big dreams, not to cry Lift your head up from my arm We both knew that this day would come Take my word, take it as a charm Left me hoping from the start I can wait while we're apart Take my word while you're gone Like a charm, take my word to heart
