Walking Off The Buzz

The Last Day

See the outline of the frames
Of where the pictures used to be
Closets full of clothes are empty
Now this mess belongs to me

Leaving me room for all the baggage
I've been keeping locked inside
I said I'd get over her but I lied...

Yesterday she waked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day, I was doin fine
But Yesterday was the last day of my life

Every minute I'm alone I watch the phone
I can't believe
It's so pathetic how my imagination
Gets the best of me

Maybe I'll phone her up won't act grown up
Then she'll hang up the line
Now I'll just have to get a life

Yesterday she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day, I was doin fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life

Yesterday she walked out of my life
The day before I was feelin fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life

Why did I doubt her (Yesterday)
I'm better without her (Yesterday)

Yesterday she walked out of my life
There she goes
If she don't care why the h*** should I
Yesterday was the best day of my life

Yesterday she walked out of my life
If she don't care, why the h*** should I
Yesterday was the best day of my
Yesterday was the best day of my life......

That's The Girl I've Been Telling You About

I don't know what I was thinking when I seen her
I just had to find a way I could meet her
Cause I've been dying for the chance just to treat her
Like the ripe little peach she is
Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her
Cut she could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her
I don't know her but I know that I need her
And I don't think she's got a notion but

That's the girl I've been telling you about
Aint she everything I said and a whole lot more
She got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been spinning in my head like a revolving door
Her smile is like the sun and my whole
world revolves around her

I don't even think she knows how she moves me
I can't explain it but she does something to me
If she ever looked she'd see right through me
And I don't think that I could keep my cool

I could tell her that I want to get to know her
Take her places that I'd really like to show her
But I hear she's got somebody and he loves her
And I don't think he's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Aint she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been living in my head like a recurring dream
Her smile is like the sun and my whole
world revolves around her

She lives in my head from the start of my day till night
And every word that she says I'm hanging on to so tight

That's the girl I've been telling you about
Aint she everything I said could you need much more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been reigning in my head like a pouring storm
Her smile is like the sun and my whole
world revolves around her

Like a soul in the wind I've been
lost since the day I found her
What I'd give to be everything she needs like the air around her
Got my arms open wide wish she knew
they belong around her

Hey Leonardo (She Like Me For Me)

She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money
And that's real good cause I don't got alot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'
She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch too much TV

And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
But if she really wants to go I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when

She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in 'Fargo'
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feelings in the dark
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end

She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavorotti
Or because I'm such a hottie
I like her for her
Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see

She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Harry
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
I'm like the Cable Guy
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Found her once again
I'm so glad I found her once again
Once again

Standing At The Edge Of The Earth

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside
Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye

So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday

Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
I don't want to let you leave this way
I want you to know that I stand right by your side

And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll...

I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday

And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll...

I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday

Waiting for someday Believing in someday Praying for someday, I'll be...
Longing for someday Clinging to someday Cherishing someday, I'll be...
Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday Wishing for someday, I'll be...
Living for someday Counting on someday Knowing that one day...

Stone Glass Window

Was conceived outta nuthin'
Always be what I've been
If I focus the real world
One day I might tune it in

Do I have to shout, Do I have to wave a gun
Hide my head from the sun screamin'
someone anyone
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Tell me why why if you bleed
I'm the one that's gotta bleed
Got me fiendin' for the need to say hey look at me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

I'm looking for something more than this
Can't see out my stone glass window

Pick me up in your dream life
Wrap me up in your gold
Tease me just like a dog needs a bone
Then throw me out in the cold

Ah..it's time to make a choice but
I'm afraid to make some noise
When I hear the silent voice and
the voice is telling me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Cause I'm a man on the run
do I have to wave a gun
Will I end up like the rest where
the rest sleep eternally
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

I'm looking for something more than this
Can't sleep on this concrete pillow
I'm loking for something better than this
I'm slipping back to the low

I'm going down
In my head is the sound
It's the voice of no one

I'm looking for something more than this
Can't see out my stone glass window
There's gotta be something better than this
I'm slipping back to the low

If She Couldn't Sleep

As I lie awake in the other room
I could probably stay awake till noon time
So frustrating knowing what could be
What's even worse is she used to belong to me

As I toss and trun ther's nothing I can do

But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up the time
Oh, no if she couldn't sleep
I konw she'd tell herself maybe she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, I wish she couldn't sleep

8AM and she' s not at home
Stayed out all night wonder if she's all slone or
With someone new and she won't even call
To ease my mind just to help me break the fall

Now I'm feeling all the things I put her through

But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh no, if she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself that she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, but i guess she's doing fine
I wonder if she knows she's on my mind

South Hampton Avenue

She lies in bed out of her head sucking a cigarette
Closing her eyes she really tries to make believe she's dead
But she's not
She's not
In the next tomb her old man's room it's another night
He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light
Yea it's on
But he's gone

We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are
How do you like us so far

Right down the stairs my mom is there under the mushroom cloud
Sometimes she sits sometimes she knits sometimes she talks out loud
To herself
She's allowed

Hanging on the wall up and down the hall pictures of family
My brother Dave is on display for all the world to see
Now he's gone
He moved on

We live on South Hampton Avenue
I've got a feelin' that so do you...

What Have I Got To Lose

I started to write you a letter the other day
Didn't know exactly what I was going to say
And at the last minute I threw it away
Cause I didn't think that you would read it anyway
Oh see I'm the kind of man who's glass is half full
But I've been torn from all the strings you pulled
And since I've already been abused
I just thought to myself, thought to myself

What have I got to lose
Cause I can't fall much further down
And look what I've got to win
If you would only hear my heart

Yesturday I actually tried calling
But that was after six days, and six night of stalling
And I thought about everything that we've been through
All the different places that we went to
The times we hurt each other sometimes we meant to
Trying to make up with flowers that I sent you
But now I"m at the crossroads and It's time to choose
And I guess I just figured, what the hell...

What hve I got to lose
Cause I've already come this far
And look what I"ve got to win
If you would only search my heart and see whats deep inside

Don't want to go to sleep cause I don't want to dream
I always wake up with tears it seems
Can't blame it on you so it must be me
I'll beg for forgiveness if that's what I need to do

Cause I aint' got nothing to lose
I've lost the one thing missing from my life
But look what I"ve got to win
If only I can get you to hear my heat
(and see what it's saying to you)
What have I got to lose
When all I've lost is the everything that i need
And look what i've got towimn
If you'll only listen, listen to my heart

The Rest Of My Life

I know you've heard the excuses before
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short
I've bound my emotions cause I can't afford to be wrong
I know we've talked about being good friends
So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent
But all of your glances they came and they
went to my head

And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind
When I said "I loved you" that's what I meant
And I plan to show you if it take me the
rest of my life
The rest of my life
Rest of my life

I don't want to rush this cause my greatest fear
Is taking for granted what's taken us years
To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we've cried
We've taken our time and for this I'm so glad
Now we can be sure that this moment will last
We've traveled a road of mistakes
in our past to get here

And I'm not about to throw words to the wind
Whe I said "I love you" that's what I meant
And I'm going to show you if it takes me
the rest of my life
The rest of my life
The rest of my life

And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind
When I said "I love you" well that's what I meant
and I plan to show you if it takes me
the rest of my life

Walking Off THe Buzz

Amy woulda died for me
She would've had my baby
If I needed a favor
It was yes, she never said maybe

And all the time that we walked
barefoot in the sand
Somehow we never felt the rain

Now I got nothing but time
She's got her life and now I've got
Nothing but mine

I could walk off the hurt
Run through the pain
Wipe all the tears pouring down my face
Deny the dream that just never was Oh girl
I just can't walk off the buzz

Amy used to call me all the time
But she hasn't lately
wonder if she goes out at all
and if she's dating

And everytime I walk alone
along the beach somehow
I always feel the rain

So many times I wished for my space
Now I wish I didn't feel so out of place

I could walk off the fear
Crawl through the hate
Beg you to forgive, my every mistake
Pretend you and I , it just never was Oh girl
I just can't walk off the buzz

And now that I'm lonely
I see you were the only one
Who ever really knew me (oh baby) and could
see right thorugh me

I could walk off the hurt
Run through the pain
Wipe all the tears pouring down my face
Deny the dream that just never was
Oh girl

I just can't walk off the buzz
I just can't walk off the buzz
just can't walk off the buzz

Real Good Freinds

You came all this way to see me
There must be something I should know
Did you come here just to leave me
Cause I don't wanna let you go
I know you need more from me
Then I can give so now we'll see

If we can get along as real good friends
There's no need to say goodbye
We maybe better off as real good friends
To keep this love alive

Too much time and distance
Is what we were against
And we didn't want to listen
To the advice of our friends
They said this can't last too long
There were right but they were also wrong

Cause now we're gonna be two real good friends
Even closer than before
That's the way I think it should've always been
But we just wanted more

From the first time that we made eyes
We knew there was something there
And if this is the last time
Then lets pretend we never met
So we can start again

We could learn how to be real good friends
Even closer than before
Casue that's the way we knew it should've always been
And now, now we have it all

Aint it better now that we're good friends
Even closer that before
We'll never have to worry how the story ends
We'll just keep on wanting more
