Since you've been gone
Since you've been unglued
It's hard to figure out
Your next move
One minute here
The next you're gone
Let's make an end
To this sad, sad song
For you it's hard to take
'Cause the pill has an awful taste
Just open up and swallow down
Once it hits bottom
Things may turn around
Unfortunately this is the case
You've got to catch up
And win the race
Straighten yourself out...
You can do it
One minute here
The next you're gone
Let's make an end
To this sad, sad song
They can't understand
That you mean to do good
I guess you could say
You're misunderstood
I know you're meaning well
But you've been shot to hell
Just come back and join us now
I'm broke
Let me show you where it hurts
I'm trying to be brave
This wasn't in my plan
and nothing you can do,
I've changed
It's such a waste
I'm undone
And there's nothing I can do this time,
It's all out of my hands
And just when I was getting good
Why's it have to end?
I don't understand
And don't leave me behind
This time I need you, nothing's feeling right
Oh, I'm in trouble, help me
No one needs you more than me
I know
I made you feel like you were lucky to have me
But now I'm panicking,
I'm lost, you're the one I need
Be patient please
And don't leave me behind
This time I need you, nothing's feeling right
'Cause I'm in trouble, help me
No one needs you more than me
Change me back
Please, change me back
I don't know who I am anymore
I can't take it anymore
And don't leave me behind
This time I need you, nothing's feeling right
'Cause I'm in trouble, help me
No one needs you more than me
Curiosity,
I'm caught up in a tree
Want you to get me down
But I'm scared of what I see
I need a private eye
To see through your disguise
'Cause I wanna know everything
Oh, I'm looking down deep inside you
And I want to climb in
But I can't do it
I'm so scared of
What I might find there
Do you have something to hide
And you can't show it?
I thinking I'm getting hot trying
To connect the dots
You're on your tips toes trying hard to not get caught
Some things are unexplained,
Some people can't be tamed
But I wanna know everything
Oh, I'm looking down deep inside you
And I want to climb in
But I can't do it
I'm so scared of what
I might find there
Do you have something to hide
And you can't show it?
And I want to believe you
I want to believe that you're giving it all up for me
You're so undercover
Keeping it all hush-hush
What happened to us?
I can't believe this, give it up
So I can get to love
I can't believe this
I can't believe this
Undercover
Oh, I'm looking down deep inside you
And I want to climb in
But I can't do it
I'm so scared of what
I might find there
Do you have something to hide
And you can't show it?
Oh, I'm looking down deep inside you
And I want to climb in
But I can't do it
I'm so scared of what
I might find there
Do you have something to hide ... Read more »
Trapped in a box of tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
Sucks up our lives and proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use the box as my guide
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Trapped in a box I'm not alone
I know of others with a box as their home
Light only enters froma crack or a hole
This is not enough for a human to grow
Trapped in a box
(Repeat Chorus)
Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone in a single click
Just hope that that switch won't stick
Trapped in a box my life becomes void
All I thought for myself is now destroyed
You're livin' your life without a care in the world
That's the way it should be
What's life like in a candy swirl
What's life like to me
Everyone is slowing down
Look once at life on the ground
You all are the people, they're runnin' around
Not making a sound
Total hate! Total hate! Total hate!
You're movin' along, just goin' your own way
Don't try to change
You're jumpin', you're runnin', you learn to play
Never try to rearrange
You're getting tired and starting to drag
Slowing down and that's sad
You're walkin' around, you're being a skag
Huh - well that's not my bag
Total hate! Total hate! Total hate!
You don't even know me so don't hate me
Sublime rockin' No Doubt stylie
We do it Monday and on Friday
Get back to the show 'cause it's payday
11 o'clock, roll, roll it down
Rock the city with the number one sound
Long beat, Long Beach and it feels so fine
Rock this shit straight back to Anaheim
Total hate, total hate
You're so fake, you makes me shake
Your faded face is so irate
I just want to take you away from everyone
And keep you stashed under my pillow
And then I’d take you out simply for my own pleasure
And wear you when the occasions special
Then I’d put you on like a diamond
So I can sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I’d proudly hold the leash that I’d have you on
So you can’t stray and follow me around all day
It’s too late now
I don’t think it can fade
It’s too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
Compulsion has stained me
I’m nervously cradling our young love
Without known limits love
Like a butterfly cupped in my hands
I peek in to see beauty trapped
Confined it flutters
Then it leaves behind colorful dust
To remind me of the special times we’ve spent
But of course it has to leave my clutch
But enough’s never enough to make a dent
It’s too late now
I don’t think it can fade
It’s too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
You think that I will change
But you know that will never be
I'm just that way, and that's just me
Well it's just the way I am
And I am doing all I can
Why can't you see I just can't change
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
It doesn't matter what you say
My confidence will lead the way
Words will never do, sad but true
And if I didn't act this way
Well it just wouldn't be the same
That wouldn't do, 'cause I'm not you
And I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
CHORUS
That's the way I am, I am no larry or a sam
Why can't you see, I'm just that way!
My divorce from dependence
That’s when you found you
I was still soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble’s what we are
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We’re playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Now that I’ve murdered your inspiration
And I forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge?
I want to call you
But I won’t
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We’re playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
I’ve been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was comingWe get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well. . . so well
You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion, so I can complain
CHORUS
I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to!
I love you completely
I guess I'm kinda mad about you
I love you, I love you I do
Love overcomes all of my senses
Lowers all of my defenses, yeah
All of your thoughts vanish to a blind daze
Your bitterness erased by my sense of taste
And harsh words are deafened by love
I love you completely
I couldn't be madder about you
I love you, I love you I do
I love you completely
There's nothin' I see bad about you
I love you, I love you I do
Love welcomes me to every new day
The stars are all falling down my way, yeah
And all of the planets are lined in the sky
The lights are shining down upon you and I
My world is stricken by love
Kiss me over and over forever and ever my love
Kiss me all over and over forever and ever my love
The love I have for you
Makes me blind I can't see
The love I have for you
Cuts my throat I can't speak
The love I have for you makes me numb
