Does he still call upon you sometimes When he has nothing better to do? Does he call upon you at all When he's back with you-know-who? Did he tell you that you'd be together Just as soon as he set himself free? It seems that he hasn't stopped loving her So why don't you stop loving him and start loving me? When I'm with you, my heart races Like thoroughbreds down at the track It beats like their hooves upon pavement That strike with a resounding clack I loathe to see you go away Though I love to watch you leave Either way, babe, I would like you to stay And begin to stop loving him and start loving me What has he done for you lately, if ever But tell you what you want to hear? Has he put forth any kind of effort To make you so convinced that he cares? You were curious to see if he loves you Well, move along, there's nothing to see Just as sure as the stars shine above you You need to just stop loving him and start loving me The moon hangs over the horizon Its reflection trembles on the brook I can't even begin to describe it You would have to just come take a look I wish you could be here to see it It's certainly something to see Baby, you best a-believe it It's time to just stop loving him and start loving me

If I drop out now my life would be so easy share a box with the rest of my class living homeless on the streets of san francisco just my streetcorner and my time to pass If it gets hot i can crash at someones as long as they have AC and If it starts to pour il stay right on my corner and do my raindance down by the sea moscone center is where ill park youll find me there in the fog or in the dark hangin out down by at&t come see the black and orange and come see me And one day I'll bring my guitar to my corner play for tips but give them all away Cuz I like it better when I'm poorer nowhere to go but no debt to pay panhandle or the haight is where Ill stay you should come visit any night or any day hangin out down by at&t come see the black and orange and come see me

I don't know why we got older you get taller winds get colder did I break all of your monies it wasn't like that breadcrumb crawl back jesus christ not my eyes had a baby not my eyes this cannot ever change this cannot ever change closed my eyes so you can't see me bit my tongue now we don't speak I must say I still see your moonface with the light out you're still bright out this cannot ever change

Did you hear I'm feeling kind of blue Does anyone care, I hope you do But do you I'll know Soon Don't feel so down, don't feel so blue I tell myself that and I know you do too But do you I hope you don't Do you? Everyone looks blue to me Maybe its something we can't see Or perhaps they are like me Wondering whats wrong Are we free I've been thinking about moving away Somewhere so far nobody knows my name So far away A new place to stay But there they will treat me just the same Because every city is just another game Individuals are not to blame They are all just the same I look in the mirror, am I like you? I just can't tell because my mind is feeling new But I guess that it could be true Were both blue Did you hear I'm feeling kind of blue Does anyone care, I hope that you do But do you I'll know

Well the Sun got lost - on it's way to bed it's been sleeping around - it hasn't come up yet I go looking for it - but i cannot find it anywhere i guess it's hard in the dark - im staring at my feet on the ground and ryan hung himself inside a closet - i know it sucks, i think it showed so don't lecture me - about feeling anything cause when you left the door - you slammed it into the wall Streetlights in the city at night It's not sunlight but it will suffice It's only for a few more new york nights There's a storm brewing in my brain Keeping me up at times - Keeping me awake & I don't sleep, except during the day I guess you could call me - A narcoleptic rain Foggin' up your drain - and there's a contradiction in the way you speak They're putting blocks in the road You're terrified of your clothes It's only for a few more New England parades New Jersey - That's where we'll go Why, I don't know - Cause we need a place to rest cause the road gets heavy Heavy like your soul - it is worn down but winter's breath on your neck My love, come walk with me through all the fields and through the beautiful leaves!
