1. Real World

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
And you can come and see them when I'm...done,when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on a yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

(chorus) Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man, get me some
Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

Chorus

Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me

Chorus



2. Long Day
It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the notes she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also reach, she said for no one else but you
Cuz you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time, I won't go away
It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away
It's me, and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way now

(chorus) Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always ain't that right?
And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always ain't that right?

Well I'm surprised that you'd believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so set in life
Man a pisser they waited
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long

Chorus 2x




3. 3 am
She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried 'bout things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams, and her voice is straining

(chorus) She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it

She's got a little bit of something
God, it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

Chorus

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside, it's stopped raining

Chorus



4. Push
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me
And I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here
Not while I still need you around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

(chorus) I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting
When I think that the truth is gonna hurt you
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
when my face don't seem to wanna shine
Cuz it's a little bit dirty, well

Don't just stand there
Say nice things to me
Cuz I've been cheated and I've been wronged and you
You don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all

Chorus

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart things get so crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby
Don't rush this baby, baby

Chorus



5. Girl Like That
You think this life would make me bolder
But I'm running scared is all
Well I hang on everything about you
You'd think I'd settle down cuz I'm older
But I roll with the change is all
Well I'm same old trailer trash in new shoes

She gets sad when there's nothing going on, yeah
She says it makes her feel damn worthless

(chorus 1) Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
It's better than nothing

I put my hands around your shoulder
You're saying you're scared is all
Well I think I know too much about you
You'd think this life would make me colder
I'd give into the alcohol
I put my loving arms around you, child

You knew damn well there was nothing going on
Is that what makes you feel damn worthless?

(chorus 2)
Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love at all is better than nothing
It's better than nothing
You got to think, with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
It's better than nothing

Yeah she drags you down and she pulls you up, she pulls you up
Says that she's sorry now, but it's not enough, to pull you up
She's sorry

I wake up quick just like I want to
Yeah but I stay out much too late
You think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays
Down till the worth is gone
And pulls you up, she pulls you up
Yeah she pulls you up, and over, over

Chorus 2
Chorus 1



6. Back 2 Good
It's nothing, it's so normal
You just stand there
I could say so much
I don't go there, cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that you own me, well
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like they do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone here hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're the same
We're all grown now, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now, there's no getting back to good



7. Damn
This old world well
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Don't it make you wanna think damn
This cold girl well
Don't she make you wanna scream damn

What's the matter girl?
Well don't you think I'm good enough?
This old heart's had a whole lot of breaking down
She's got all these reasons in her head

(chorus 1) All that time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's taking her time till I thought I would die
And I can't sit still

Things got turned around
Don't know where I started from damn
I can't eat, can't sleep coulda been a bigger man, damn
What's the matter girl, well don't you think I'm bright enough?
This old man had a hard time getting here
You can leave your nummber at the door

Chorus 1

(chorus 2)And there's nothing at all
Yeah there's nothing at all
Well there's nothing at all
To make her change her mind

This old house been quiet since you went away damn
Mixed up, fixed out
Don't forget who got you here damn

What's the matter world?
Don't you see I opened up?
This whole part's been played by another man
I pulled out the reason card instead

Chorus 1
Chorus 2

Says she can find
The things that make up a life
I bet she will
She stays behind, I could stay here all night
I could stay here until

Chorus 2



8. Argue
She don't, but she will
He says anything to keep her by him
She takes what she gets
And she never did flinch, no

So over, and over anyone
With any mind would think that's all she gets

(chorus) If you want you can get to know me, well
We get along so we shouldn't argue yeah
And I don't know, said I don't know
All these feelings, cloud up my reasoning, cloud up my reasoning

I know, but I still
Believe in ignorance as my best defense
So go on, wreck me
Funny how I carry on and not be taken
Over, I will not roll over
On anyone, cuz anyone would stand up on my side

Chorus

You know it's funny how sometimes
It don't work out how you want to
No you never get nothing at all
Then she tells you that it's over
Boy, don't you hate it when it's over
I guess something just got lost
And it deeply saddens me
So over, and over, anyone, yeah anyone

Chorus



9. Kody
Kody sat down on the avenue
He tapped his feet to the humming of the highway
He watched the light shine down on the broken glass, and thought
Well I don't got no reasons, yet
There it is and there it was
Now it was clear to all of us
We kept this hat of broken dreams
And we called them out
When we needed them around

(chorus)So please hand me the bottle
I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction
I think the hurt set in
And I don't feel nothing

There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
It lets us know if he comes around
But I don't sleep that good anyway
And if you've never heard that silence
It's a God awful sound

Chorus

I don't feel nothing, I don't feel nothing, yeah I don't feel nothing
There's nothing to feel good about here

I don't much get down off to the avenue
Well I could drive but it takes so much to get there
I don't get off on all the broken glass, the cadillac scene
Well, I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm
In an overemotional way

Chorus 2x



10. Busted
I forget when words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we can't get hurt
Don't try to understand me

We're too cool to be alone
But not to crazy to get busted

I found out one life just ain't enough
I need another soul to feed on
I'm the flame I can't get hurt
I'm wholly understated

We'll I found silence in this place, an on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace, heaven sweep me away

(chorus)Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain cuz nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become
They'll never be the people who we are

I strapped on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty

I don't need you crowding up my space
Well I just want to get inside you
You can't believe the heart you save
Giving something away

Chorus

I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
Yeah, well I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing
But oh, how I want you to know me
Oh, how I want you to know me
Oh, how I wish I were somebody else, baby
Oh, how I wish you could own me

Chorus



11.Shame
What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone
Past yourself, forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And there's no one around you can remember being good to you

(chorus)Shame, shouldn't try you
Couldn't step by you
And open up more shame, shame, shame

What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten
Will you tell me how they go?
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
There's no one around you can remember being good, for you so

Chorus 2x

We never thought we'd get so troubled
We could never think that much
It should never get this bad
So let the wind blow you
Across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here for
Funny in a certain light how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood, for you, so

Chorus 2x



12. Hang
She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall
She burns all her notes, she knows
She's been here too few years
To feel this old

He smokes his cigarette
He stays outside till it's gone
If anybody ever had a heart
He wouldn't be alone
He knows, she's been here too few years to be gone

(chorus)And we always say
It would be good, to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you, I'll just hang

The trouble understand
Is she got reasons he don't
Funny how he couldn't see at all
Till she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, she's been here too few years, to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long, to let hurt go

Chorus 2x
