He sits in a corner
Sipping coffee 'til it's cold
He's seventeen
And he feels old
She dances for the boys
And serves happiness by the G
She's everything she dreamed
And nothing she wanted to be
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
So naïve
She asks him home, shy
But not enough to be rude
He thinks he's falling in love
She thinks she's gonna get screwed
Reality steps in
Reality steps in
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
So naïve
20 odd years
Still an empty refrain
Still searching for the words
And everything changed
I rewrote the hook
For all of your songs
Our life is a movie
We were acting all along
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
Young and fun and
So naïve

You Never Were

The moment's closing in
The ever silent sin
And the rushing
Adrenaline
Makes you feel
Like you're ten feet tall
The moment passed you by
Without a second thought
You never said goodbye
You never said a lot
I don't really wonder
What went wrong
You always lit the darkest days
But you never had your way
You got left behind in the crowd
Nursing your pride
The moment passed you by
Without a second thought
You never said goodbye
You never said a lot
I don't really wonder
What went wrong
You're picture perfect
Egoist
You're 100%
Hit and miss
You blink once
You're going to miss it all
You're going to miss it all
You're going to miss it all
No second thought
But you always pushed away
The people who wanted to say
They knew the real you
Behind the drugs you used to hide
The moment passed you by
Without a second thought
You never said goodbye
You never said a lot
I don't really wonder
What went wrong
What went wrong

Somewhere In-Between

The music is telling me
Something I already know
These highs are haunting me
As much as any lows
Breaking the pattern
Is living without this dream
Breaking it off with you
I'm somewhere in-between
I meant what I said
I didn't like the way I was treated
Despite that you said I won
I felt somehow defeated
And now I don't regret
That this is faded in the past
I never held a false hope
Any of this would last
And now I don't remember
What was truth and what was lies
These doubts are killing me
As much as any highs
Breaking the illusion
Is living without extremes
Breaking the ice with you
I'm somewhere in-between
I meant what I said
I didn't like the way I was treated
Despite that you said I won
I felt somehow cheated
And now I don't regret
That this is faded in the past
I never held a false hope
Any of this would last
And I'm the guy you love
The one you always dream about
and baby I'm the only one
You know you can't live without
Breaking the ties with you
Is driving me away
Breaking me up inside
I'm somewhere lost in pain
I meant what I said
I didn't like the way I was treated
Despite that you said I won
I felt somehow defeated
And now I don't regret
That this is faded in the past
I never held a false hope
Any of this would last
I'm somewhere in-between
Somewhere in-between

Sleepwalkers

You see it on the streets
Full of broken dreams
Resigned to their 9-5s
Cannot count the times
They let their dreams go by
Just for a lack of trying
And I can't bear to believe
That I'm a wolf among these sheep
Or that there's honour among thieves
While we walk around asleep
Walk around asleep
Walk around
It's not me who's talking
I'm not doing the walking
Aimlessly the drugs carry me around
My makeup makes me vain
My prose keeps me from fame
And I can't bear to believe
That I'm a wolf among these sheep
Or that there's honour among thieves
While we walk around asleep
Walk around asleep
Walk around
Feel it on the streets
The cracked and shattered dreams
They all hate their shitty 9-5s
And I hope that they're all creeps
So I can cry myself to sleep
Cuz at least it lets me know
That I'm still alive
And I can't bear to believe
That I'm a wolf among these sheep
Or that there's honour among thieves
While we walk around asleep
Walk around asleep
Walk around asleep
And I can't bear to believe
That I'm a wolf among these sheep
Or that there's honour among thieves
While we walk around asleep
Walk around asleep
Walk around
