You say that you don’t mean it when you act in a disheartened way But I can tell the difference between your actions and the things that you say Please don’t go, I didn’t know. I didn’t know my darling I’m sittin’, fishin’, wishin’, gettin’ desperate for a reason to stay But if you wake me up inside, I won’t mind. I won’t mind If you wake me up inside, it won’t change a thing So you try to speak There’s nothing that I need Cuz I’m just trying to feel the way that I’m supposed to Please don’t go, I didn’t know. I didn’t know my darling I’m trying to move on but my feet got ahold of me But if you wake me up inside, I won’t mind. I won’t mind If you wake me up inside, it won’t change a thing If you tell me what to do, I won’t move. I won’t move If you tell me what to do you won’t move me

Say hello to your mother I’ll say good bye to your dad Cuz right now it feels like we’re 6 feet under burying this thing again I’m caught on the outskirts On the other side of town Right now broke down, can’t get back up, or try to turn this thing around So close the door This is the way things are So if you fail this time I’m trying to reach your mind. And I wanna let you know I just wanna let you know Keep trying to climb on up Caught in the folds again I guess I’ll just iron out; will you tell me where the seam begins? Say hello to your mother Will you do it this one last time? Of all the gin joints in this old town; you had to run into mine So close the door This is the way things are So if you fail this time I’m trying to reach your mind And I wanna let you know I just wanna let you know So stuck involved in lately It’s making sense in full We’re breaking down the walls again I think I’m stuck in myself While caught in somebody else So you don’t have to go I just wanna let you know

I’m caught in the mist My senses evade me I look to the hills Try to hear what they’re saying If the aesthetic will teach It will surely amaze me But first I will move oh beyond oh beyond these peaks The Metaphysic has a storyline The Earth is so rich The skies are so clever I’m reaching to find the transcendental Soul Cuz seeing’s not believing And a touch is more than feeling Take hold Go ahead it’s for the taking One’s own path is for the making And see What I don’t know The highest highs The lowest lows From snow-capped peaks To the ocean floor The goal is to move oh beyond oh beyond these peaks The Metaphysic has a story-line The earth is so rich The skies are so clever I’m reaching to find the transcendental Soul Cuz seeing’s not believing And a touch is more than feeling Take hold Go ahead it’s for the taking One’s own path is for the making Philomel surrounding Though one cannot see It in the dark It makes you go... You've got soul Cuz seeing’s not believing And a touch is more than feeling Take hold Go ahead it’s for the taking One’s own path is for the making And now you see that we were wrong And now you see it all

They take a second to look over the open land Then depart together hand in hand And if this be an ideal image Who says? If the tide comes in with moon If the preacher speaks of impending doom If the armies bombard an image to our minds I wanna go where I won’t hear nothing but, Organic sounds and the truth from who I ask All around keep feeling pressured on Keeps on pushing me—keeps on pushing me I just wanna refrain from society With its open mouth hanging over me I just wanna fall in love again I hope that you understand So if you find me let me know The sense of change begins to grow The sentiments are moving towards a peak Out in the streets it will unfold The gathering has been foretold And winter’s gonna end eventually I got a collect call from the morgue today Said the past is back—present died away And if you say that things are infinite You’re wrong I wanna go where I won’t hear nothing but, Organic sounds and the truth from who I ask All around keep feeling pressured on Keeps on pushing me—keeps on pushing me I just wanna refrain from society With its open mouth hanging over me I just wanna fall in love again I hope that you understand So if you find me let me know The sense of change begins to grow The sentiments are moving towards a peak Out in the streets it will unfold The gathering has been foretold And winter’s gonna end eventually

I got a feeling that after all is said and done it’s going to be fine So I’ll take this open book, have a look, cuz in this moment it’s just a matter of time It’s like getting older now—you know somehow—and when you get there I hope you say life was mine I’m stuck in my college time and fill my mind because I know before long it’s all going to be done And if my friends stick around we’ll look back down and pull all the good takes away from the bad It’s like getting older now—you know somehow—it feels so inevitable: so just make the most It’s like getting older now—you know somehow—it’s gone; it’s gone in the end And I wanna let you know where the good times roll And I wanna let you say “you belong to me” I’m passing by I wanna let you in my life I’m passing by I wanna let you in my life Take it, take it All the last of this

I’m moving out To the country I will go While sensing the ironic To the city the herd flows But from where these ivory towers exist Comes a pretty simple message You can’t just accept it So moving on To where my mind can work Fuck the constant imitations The beaten path I desert So it’s not new But tell me if anything is Yeah I get that it’s all bullshit But I’m going to side with it Yeah don’t bring me down again Against the current I will swim I’m going to make it through I’m going to make it through
